Chapter 11: Red and purple

Views:

The truth of Lian Dao surprised me and couldn't believe it.

Peach Blossom Spring is an ancient prose that I learned when I was in junior high school. Over the years, countless people have been arguing whether Taohuayuan exists and where if it exists.

I always think that places like Peach Blossom Spring are like ideal places in dreams. Just like the heaven in the Western Bible, it may really exist, but no one can find it, let alone enter it.

But now, a living Taohuashan person stood in front of me, and for a while, I felt like I was dreaming.

At this moment, Lien Daozhen suddenly sighed. The expression on his face was very complicated. He said, "But in fact, I am not a real mountain man, Zheng Qiuyuan is. But the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that Zheng Qiuyuan would United outsiders..."

"Who is besieging you? Why did Zheng Qiuyuan unite with others, uh, to kill you." I asked curiously.

"I don't know their identities either. Those people didn't reveal anything. As for why Zheng Qiuyuan wanted to kill me..." Lian Daozhen thought about it and said, "When you were in a coma, I was also thinking about why he wanted Kill me. It has been more than 40 years since I entered the mountain at the age of seven. During these years, I was responsible for everything that I had to go out of the mountain to do. Zheng Qiuyuan’s killing of me was unreasonable and would only cause him trouble. Unless... Unless... ”

After Lin Daozhen repeated it, the expression on his face became more complicated, and he stopped talking. I was almost filled with curiosity, and asked: "Unless what?"

Lian Dao really took a deep breath, and said with a heavy face: "Unless Zheng Qiuyuan wants to take this outing, after getting rid of me and Gaiye, what to do when he returns to the mountain."

"What is he going to do?"

"If Gaiye and I both died outside, after he returned to the mountain, he would be able to cover up with a word. If this is the case, Zheng Qiuyuan must be plotting a major event. It is very likely that it will be extremely detrimental to the Peach Blossom Spring." Wrinkle, said: "This time we entered the Shihuang Mausoleum. We had already succeeded. I didn't expect Zheng Qiuyuan to unite with you..."

"Wait..." I hurriedly stopped, and said, "I have said it many times, I really am not with them! I really came to travel! That fragment is really my ancestral... Uh, my second What Uncle gave me is considered ancestral. If you don’t believe it, look at this..."

I rolled up my sleeves and stretched my arm in front of Ren Daojin's eyes. At the same time, I glanced at it myself, and my eyelids jumped suddenly. The stick-like mark on that wrist was much older than before, and even faintly purple.

Lian Daozhen took a look, a look of doubt appeared on his face. He leaned closer, looked at it carefully, and even touched it with his fingers. When I was a little at a loss, Lian Daozhen suddenly grabbed my arm with great joy, raised his head and asked me, "Who are your parents?"

"Huh?" I was taken aback by his fierce reaction and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I want to see your parents! Are they... still alive?" Lian Daozhen asked.

My face was a little dark, and I said angrily: "You can live, and of course they also live well. But what do you see my parents?"

Ren Dao really didn't explain, but rolled up his tattered sleeves. Don't think he is in his fifties, but this muscle is really like a stone. And what surprised me most was that Lien Daozhen's entire arm was purple-red, and it looked like he was full of bruises. I was shocked and quickly asked him: "What kind of injury do you have? Why do you look so serious? Did you have to amputate?"

Even Dao Zhenqi's hair was about to stand up, and his face was ugly, he put his arms in a row, and said, "Look for yourself."

I watched it for a long time with wonder, except for the difference in thickness, nothing else? I have to say something, that is, my arm is similar to having congestion, but it is much milder than Lien Dao's symptoms.

and many more…

almost

I suddenly understood why Lien Daozhen put his arms together to make gestures. If the mark on my arm is ten times more severe, it might be the same as Lien Daozhen.

Compared to Lian Dao's excitement, I feel more pleasantly surprised: "You, you are also..."

"What is it?" Lien Dao asked excitedly.

I looked at him more excitedly: "I want to know what it is, do I have to ask you?"

Lian Daozhen's face was darker than mine, and asked, "You don't know where you came from?"

"Origin?" I thought about it, and said, "I know."

Ren Dao really flushed with excitement, and asked, "What is the origin?"

I pondered the wording, and then said: "My name is Zuo Tianyang, I am 18 years old and I come from a beautiful big city..."

I kept talking until my dad was a teacher and my mother was a nurse, but when I was talking, I suddenly found that Lian Daozhen's face was a little purple.

"Are you sure your dad is just a teacher, and your mother is just a nurse?" Lian Daozhen asked.

"Yes, I am their son, don't you know." I replied.

Lian Daozhen's expression was disappointed, frustrated, and a little bit inexplicable. After a long time, he sighed heavily and said, "So, you have been living in the city, and have never found anything unusual about yourself?"

"Abnormal?" I thought for a while, and said, "If I really want to say something abnormal, the mark on my arm didn't exist when I was a child. The second uncle came to me, and after leaving a letter and the fragment, the mark came out. . Moreover, I often dream of someone calling me these days."

"Someone is looking for you in a dream?" There was a little hope on Lian Daozhen's face, and then he asked: "You said this fragment was left by your second uncle. Why did he leave you a letter and fragment? "

"If I know, I don't have to leave home. The second uncle said in the letter that I must leave there."

"Where is your second uncle?"

"died."

"Dead? Didn't you say that he came to you, why did he die suddenly?" Lian Daozhen asked suspiciously.

"I don't know too well. It was my father who said that if Er uncle has blood on his forehead and he comes to the house without saying a word, he is already dead, and it is likely that he died many years ago." I explained.

"That's it." Ren Dao really believed my statement unexpectedly, as if it were a very common thing.

I hesitated and asked, "What's the matter with your arm...?"

Even Daozhen glanced at his arm and put down his sleeves. It was just that the dark purple muscles could not be completely covered by broken cloth strips: "I, like you, don't understand what this is. But there is one thing. It’s certain that we are all the same kind of people. It’s just that the person who called me in my dreams never appeared again when I was in my twenties. Do you think that someone calling you in your dream every day will feel Very scared, will be very annoying?"

"Well, because I don't know that it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Lian Dao nodded, looking at me with a complicated expression, and said, "I felt the same way back then, but now I know how happy it is for someone to call you. Because only then will it be possible to know what is happening to me. What happened. The truth sometimes makes people not afraid of death."

"Your words are very similar to what my second uncle said."

"Oh? What does your second uncle do?" Lian Dao really asked curiously.

"It should be archaeology..." At this point, I suddenly remembered that the backpack with Erbo's notes and bank cards was gone! And that piece of paper with the stroke code in mind!

Seeing my face looked like a bereaved concubine, Lian Dao really hurriedly asked what's wrong. I talked to him about the matter, but didn’t think about Lian Daozhen. Instead, I said thoughtfully: “I’ve been to Taiqian County. There are indeed some extraordinary things there. You think it’s good, if you two If Uncle left you this letter after he went to Taiqian County, maybe, there is a real possibility of finding the answer there! So, you really just happened to go to Xi'an?"

Seeing that Lian Dao was already a little bit convinced, I quickly nodded and said, "Of course it's a coincidence. If the backpack is not lost, there are still train tickets I bought in it."

"So..." Lian Daozhen didn't know what he thought of, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and stopped talking.

"What are you thinking."

"I'm thinking, if you are telling the truth, then the people who united with Zheng Qiuyuan are not you... Oh, it's not those people, but someone else." Lien Daozhen said, "So, those The real goal of human beings is not the three of us, but you. In other words, your second uncle has probably been spotted before. He has not returned to Xi’an for many years. Those people can’t find the goal. It happens that you came, and then Targeted. They want to get some information about your second uncle from you, Zheng Qiuyuan and I are only implicated by you..." (End of this chapter)
