When we placed bags of flour, noodles and various sundries in front of the old people, I will never forget the excited look in their eyes. I felt like I had suddenly done something good, and my fist ached with pain. It also seemed like I had no feeling.
In fact, shopping in this town couldn't be a pleasant experience. Brother Chengxin and I had to use violence and beat up several store owners before we could successfully buy things.
According to Ruyue's words: "Of course it's a purchase, we have money for it."
Indeed, we found a small cart and moved almost all of the canteens, but the money we gave out was only a lot more.
"Thank you." When looking at the piles of things piled up in this room, and the things that couldn't be put away in other rooms, Mr. Liu choked up and hesitated for a long time with tears in his eyes before saying these two words to me.
"Let's eat as much as you want at noon today. You'll be full." Brother Chengxin smiled so honestly for the first time, and Ruyue's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
No matter what age you are, the psychological pleasure of doing a good deed will never diminish. This is the truth.
At this time, someone poured a few glasses of water and handed them to us. Before we could take them and take a few sips, we heard several ringing sounds from the room behind. I was just wondering when I noticed that everyone in the whole room suddenly He became quiet, his eyes became expectant and nervous... .
Mr. Liu, who was talking to us, suddenly fell silent, then took out the key, turned around and opened the tight door to a gap that only allowed one person to pass through... Although such a careful move, But standing outside, I still saw that the room was dark. Did Liu Weijun live in such an environment
The three of us looked at each other with doubts in each other's eyes, but at this moment, an old man took out three bowls of rice for us from the pot and said: "Eat a little first, the guards will come over." I’ll see you soon.”
I couldn't eat the hot tofu in a hurry, but I wasn't in a hurry anyway. I gave Brother Chengxin and Ru Yue a look of calmness, suppressing the impatience and doubts in my heart, and simply took the bowl and sat down with these people. Together, we simply started eating.
Maybe I was hungry, or maybe the forced shopping consumed me too much energy. This strange sweet potato and marinated meat porridge actually tasted particularly sweet to me... But I didn’t have the nerve to ask for a second bowl, and I didn’t. I couldn't bear to ask for a second bowl, but after I finished eating, I leaned against the wall and waited silently.
While waiting, time always passes very slowly, maybe twenty minutes, maybe half an hour, which makes me feel like a long, long time has passed.
But fortunately, when my patience was about to reach its breaking point, Mr. Liu walked out of the room with a heavy face. Everyone in the room looked at him. He said to those people: "We are almost reaching the bottom line, but it is still safe now." Yes, we... we can still be alive."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but I frowned. What does this mean? Could it be that Liu Weijun is also a cultivator and can he keep everyone safe
I don’t want to ask any questions, Mr. Liu has already said to me: "Chengyi (I mentioned my name in the previous chat), go in, but just you. The guard is in a bad state and needs a quiet place." The environment, and he can't adapt to too many people in his room, you..."
Mr. Liu looked a little embarrassed, but I simply agreed: "Okay, I'll go in alone."
In fact, there is not much difference between me going in alone and the three of us going in. There is no need to embarrass Mr. Liu.
-----------Dividing line-------------
Ruyue and Brother Chengxin stayed in the room outside. I followed Mr. Liu into the mysterious-looking small room. I also opened the door to a gap that only allowed one person to pass. Mr. Liu squeezed in first. , I followed and squeezed in.
As soon as I entered the room, my eyes went dark and I couldn't see anything clearly... I suddenly went from a bright environment to a dark environment, and my eyes seemed to have not adapted yet. But my nose was sensitive and felt that the whole room was filled with a very unpleasant smell. It was a musty smell mixed with an indescribable smell.
If I had to describe it, it would be like a person's unpleasant body odor.
This smell made my nose feel a little itchy, but I was embarrassed to cover my nose. I always felt that there was a pair of eyes in the dark watching my every move. It would be very rude if I covered my nose.
There was a brief silence for two seconds, and then a very unpleasant voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Cousin, help me light the candles. When guests come, we can't let people go into the dark."
"Okay." Mr. Liu responded.
But I was so stimulated by this sound that I got goosebumps all over my body, because this was not a normal sound coming from the vocal cords at all, but it was like someone suffering from a laryngeal disease, speaking with a voice generator against his throat.
The room soon became slightly brighter when Mr. Liu lit the candle. He seemed to be very familiar with the place. Even in such a dark environment, he could successfully find the candle and light it.
With the light of the candle, I finally saw the room clearly. The reason why it was so dark was because it was surrounded by a layer or layers of thick black cloth. In short, the sunlight could not penetrate. .
In addition to a bed, a table, and two chairs in the room, there is also a protruding square box-like thing hanging on the wall. It is covered by a black cloth. I can't see clearly what it is? Apart from these, the whole house was empty.
The candle was placed on the table, and behind the old table, there was a person sitting, covered with a thick blanket. In a room like this, everyone wore a hat, with the brim of the hat lowered, sitting silently. There, could that be Liu Weijun
"Let's talk, I'm going out." After lighting the candle, Mr. Liu glanced at Liu Weijun with concern, and then went out.
For a moment, Liu Weijun and I were the only ones left in the room. The unfamiliarity with each other made me feel a little uncomfortable for a while. I had a lot of words piling up in my throat, but I didn’t know what to say at all
"Sit down." Compared to me, Liu Weijun was much more natural. After Mr. Liu went out, he turned around and said to me while he was sitting sideways.
The voice is as ugly as ever, but this time I don’t even know what to say? I just wanted to describe his voice before, but I didn't expect that he actually used that kind of vocalizer against his throat to speak...
I followed my instructions and sat across from Liu Weijun, and he raised his head and glanced at me.
Only then did I see clearly that Liu Weijun did not look old, just like an ordinary person in his forties or fifties, but he looked particularly weird with a sound generator and sunglasses.
"It makes you laugh. Do you believe it? I have at least a dozen diseases, and all of them are serious diseases... Do you believe it? Living is too painful, but I have to live. If I don't live, There is no point in persisting for those people outside, and there is no hope in life, and they may even die... I have shouldered the lives of so many people, so I am so sad, and I must live strong." I did not speak, but Liu Weijun said so It was a long paragraph, but he spoke very slowly. He said this paragraph word by word for a full minute.
His voice was so uncomfortable to hear, but the content of his words could not be ignored. I thought of those people last night, and looking at him again, it was difficult for me not to feel a sense of admiration for him, and I was silent. After a while, I said: "You live a wonderful life. Really, the righteous path your father said has been truly passed down in you."
"Haha, thank you... I am not a Taoist. Many things are not entirely due to my father. I just want to thank him for making me a man of flesh and blood." At this point, Liu Weijun paused and then said To: "What do you want to know? Let's get straight to the point. My state means that I won't be able to talk for too long, and I won't be able to say too much."
I knew that Liu Weijun did not lie to me. Due to his physical condition, I simply told the story I had heard when I came here, and then said to Liu Weijun: "I have a lot of questions about this place. Now I want to To know everything, can you tell me?"
Liu Weijun was silent for a while, and then said very directly: "What my father did when he went out was originally a secret... But everything must be told by Wei Donglai."
