Chapter 36 Happy Reunion (Part [-])

There was still no movement around, Wu Chen said again:
"In your eyes, it's a bit weird that I can't die here, but in the eyes of living people, I am just an ordinary living person! You give me a hope, which is equivalent to giving yourself a hope. Do you think it makes sense?"

……

Outside, Senior Two and Xu Da sat on the big rock to rest.

After Wu Chen entered the mountain depression, the man in black with a grimace retreated immediately. They wanted Wu Chen's life, but now they couldn't do it. I can step back first.

If the grimacing man in black hadn't left, he might have left quickly at this time, but unfortunately they didn't have a chance to hear it.

But the second year of high school and Xu Da heard it.

The sophomore asked Xu Da in a low voice: "Who do you think Wu Chen is talking to? Yelling so loudly?"

Xu Da shook his head and said, "It's better that we don't know about it."

The sophomore said mysteriously:

"When I was young, I heard from my grandmother that there was a family living in our village. The woman was called Hui Niang. After being a widow for three years, she suddenly became pregnant. She only said that she had sex with a clay figurine under the pressure of the old woman. The child, the old woman believed it. Later, the child was born as a boy. When she was nine years old, the old woman knew that her daughter-in-law had an adulterous child. At that time, when my grandmother talked about it, she also said that the old woman It's too deceitful..."

"What do you mean? Do you think Si Zun is easy to bully?"

"I didn't say that! I think Wu Chen..."

"Don't you look at what he has done? Which one is not right? If there is no him, do you believe that Gu You will take you and me into the col soon!"

"So, he still saved your life and mine." The sophomore muttered.

Xu Da said: "It's up to you and me not to believe the ghost stories. Some of them are indeed false, but some are really unbelievable. We can't tell if they are true or not. It's just an errand. How can you worry about it? If you can save your life on this errand The ancestral grave is smoking."

"Hey, you said those people who just came, why do I feel that they came together improvised? We have also fought against people from the Ghost Gang before. If we met people with such skills today, the two of us may be together at this moment. I have already reported to my ancestors."

Xu Da nodded and did not speak again.

Wu Chen inside didn't speak any more, the surrounding was very quiet, so the second year of high school and Xu Da hurriedly chatted again, so as not to be worried all the time.

When the two were talking about the food in Kyoto, they heard a loud noise, and the stones under their buttocks trembled, which scared them out of their wits.

After a while, there was no more movement. As soon as the two breathed a sigh of relief, the sophomore asked in horror, "Is Wu Chen dead?"

Xu Da asked back with a trembling voice: "Probably not? If he dies, can you and I still live?"

The sophomore in high school hurried to the crack and wanted to look in, where could he find the crack!
"It's over, it's over, it's over! Wu Chen must have died inside, the entrance to the col is gone." Gao Eryu cried.

Xu Da also rushed over to touch the mountain carefully, his body was already soaked in cold sweat.

The two sat paralyzed on the edge of the gable, just sitting like this, no one spoke.

Slowly, the sky is dawning.

The second grader said in a low voice with despair, "It's dawn."

Xu Da straightened up suddenly, and asked, "Listen, did you hear anything?"

The second year of high school snorted in despair and said, "It has nothing to do with you and me if there is any movement. Gu You followed Wu Chen a few times and nothing happened. This is the first time for you and me..."

"Like, like calling me." Xu Da stood up, ran a few steps down the hill, and suddenly shouted happily like a child: "It's Wu Chen! It's Wu Chen! He's calling me!"

The second year of high school and Xu Da almost flew down the mountain. When the two rushed to Wu Chen, Wu Chen was panting from exhaustion. He was holding on to a big rock to catch his breath. When he saw the two of them running down, he was about to ask if they were deaf. , and was picked up by the second year of high school, and turned around twice in place.

……

Back in the house, Senior Two and Xu Da were in high spirits, but Wu Chen was extremely weak.

No one would have thought that Wu Chen not only endured mental torture last night, but also exhausted all his strength to restart the mechanism and restore the mountain to its original position.

When moving that stone, Wu Chen greeted all [-] generations of Gu Youzu's ancestor, and Wu Chen firmly believed that if there were no Liu Gen and Yulian, he would not be able to push that stone ten years ago. Stone!
But who can tell these?
It was rare for Chen Zhong to meet Wu Chen standing up, and he even specially asked the little eunuch to prepare breakfast and wait for Wu Chen to wash up.

Chen Zhong sat down at the table, waiting for Wu Chen to have breakfast together.

Wu Chen was indeed hungry, and he didn't care about etiquette. He ate everything when he sat down. He didn't even notice that the tableware used by Chen Zhong was silver instead of porcelain.

The fried white sausages, steamed cakes, glutinous rice cakes, porridge placed on the table... were almost all eaten by Wu Chen. After he was full, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I almost couldn't come back to see Si Zun. "

Chen Zhong only used some porridge, and kept looking at Wu Chen. Seeing that Wu Chen had spoken, he put down his chopsticks, walked to the inner edge, turned around and pointed to the embroidered pier on the edge, and said, "Come, sit here and talk."

Wu Chen walked over and sat down, and said, "I'm afraid there is a spy gang or Beiman here."

Chen Zhong immediately became serious.

"Only the few of us know what we discussed last night. I went to the mountains once last night, and then turned back halfway. It stands to reason that people from the Ghost Gang are lurking in the dark, waiting for me, and seeing me turn back. Don’t you think that’s the way it is tonight? Even I thought I wouldn’t go again last night, but when we got to the mountain...Si Zun, they didn’t intercept me at the bottom of the mountain, they did it when we were near the top of the mountain of."

Chen Zhong raised his hand, and the little eunuch put the Pocket on Chen Zhong's side, and Chen Zhong leaned his elbow on it, and then said:

"So, firstly, they came in a hurry, and secondly, they have already dug the tunnel."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't doubt it, but there are more people coming from them. I have seen them sneak attack before. It's just a few people. They won't make such a big move, as if they are bound to win!"

"They only knew that you could come out alive before, but they didn't know anything else. Now they know that you may have other uses."

"The col has returned to its original place. I think they have lost a lot. They have already started digging underground. I'm afraid Si Zun would never have imagined that their entrance is not in Anping County..."

"In the northern barbarian territory."

"Exactly! This shows that the Ghost Mandrill Gang is indeed theirs. The time when the Ghost Mandrill Gang was established is about the same as the time when Qi Xuan's treasure disappeared. We can boldly infer that the Ghost Mandrill Gang first entered the Central Plains for these treasures. After they found out that the treasure was in Anping County, they started to dig a tunnel from the territory of Beiman, so that they could find the treasure and transport it back to Beiman. Yes, because the specific location was not confirmed, and when the specific location was confirmed some time ago, they started digging again. All the actions of the Ghost Mandrill Gang during this period were to divert the attention of the master, but there were too many people who came out last night."

Chen Zhong nodded and asked, "Who could it be?"
