Chapter 74

"Xiao Qi, master Qi, can you come to my house first? The old man won't go without seeing you first. No matter what I say. You know in your heart that you can't be careless at this time, or the meat in your mouth will fly."

"I know this. Hold on to the old man first and I'll come right away."

Bai Ling and I went home first, took the necessary things and took a ride to Zhang Zhongyi's house. As soon as I arrived at the door of Zhang Zhongyi's community, I saw a van parked. The trunk of the van was open. From a distance, I could see a person lying in a free space. I don't need to think it must be Uncle Zhang, while the three members of Zhang Zhongyi's family were anxiously surrounded. They didn't know what they were talking to Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "you're here at last."

I came forward and saw Uncle Zhang was angry and embarrassed. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were muddy and dull, and opened his mouth. The voice from his mouth was as thin as a mosquito. I couldn't hear what he was talking with my sharp ears. "Uncle Zhang, we've arranged everything. Don't worry. Now we'll take you back to your hometown."

Uncle Zhang nodded.

Uncle Zhang made arrangements for Zhang Zhongyi as early as a month ago. According to his arrangement, Zhang Zhongyi returned to his hometown twice before and after, which is nothing more than building a temporary settlement in the dilapidated and deserted village. Once Uncle Zhang really comes to an end, it will come in handy at that time. Such a proactive consideration is naturally appropriate, but I didn't expect Uncle Zhang's time to be so fast.

Zhang Zhongyi's family of three, plus Uncle Zhang, this van is not enough at all. We had to charter another car. Starting from Zhang Zhongyi's home, the destination is Shilong Town, Zhanjiang District, where Uncle Zhang was born and raised.

Our departure time was more than 5:00 p.m. maybe the weather was not beautiful. It began to rain before we left the city. The rain became heavier and heavier. For the sake of safety, we walked very slowly all the way until we finally reached Shilong Town. It was 11:00 p.m. Finally, I hurried to eat some food to fill my stomach before a small restaurant was about to close. Then I kept going to group 2 of Changhe village under Shilong Town.

With the change of the times and the progress of the times, many residents who have lived in the village for a long time have found ways to leave the backwater breeding land. There are few people and deserted. The road to Changhe village is even worse. It was bumpy all the way. We didn't finally reach our destination until about 1 a.m.

This is where Uncle Zhang was born and raised. Logically, this is Uncle Zhang's home. In fact, this is not the case. When Uncle Zhang was alone and forced, he sold himself to the landlord and became a long-term worker, so that he could eat and drink. His own home was completely destroyed decades ago. In addition, he had a relationship with miss three and was driven out by the owner. In his heart, the word home may not exist for a long time.

However, if the master's family had been more reasonable and could accept the marriage between miss three and him, then miss three's home was his home and his most complete dependence. It was for this reason that Uncle Zhang ordered Zhang Zhongyi to build a temporary thatched shed on the former site of the main family's house, and with the help of a few villagers in the village, he expanded the thatched shed enough to accommodate more than a dozen adults at the same time.

And we, not only tonight, but also for the next period of time until Uncle Zhang has completed his last life journey, may spend it in this hut.

We cleaned up and didn't have time to rest until three o'clock in the evening. Just as I was lying on the paved straw mat, before I could close my eyes, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night. I said sorry to everyone, hurried outside the shed, and didn't have time to look at the phone number on the screen, so I answered the phone directly. "Hello, are you?"

"It's me." Jiang Yilong said, "are you here?"

I said, "it's not long since I arrived. Why don't you sleep so late?"

Jiang Yilong said, "that's what Hu Qingguo came to me in the afternoon. I thought about it all night, so I couldn't sleep. Therefore, I think I should discuss it with you first, and then make plans."

I said, "I'm listening. Go on. What the hell is it?"

"You guessed right. Hu Qingguo came to us to talk about the ancient tomb. They had already inquired about it and confirmed the specific place. Originally, I wanted to tell Zheng Jie at the first time on my way back, but later, it seemed inappropriate. As the saying goes, catching thieves and dirt must be in bed. Moreover, I was really worried that if there was a mistake, Hu Qingguo and them would know it "If we tell the secret, we have to take off the skin even if we don't die."

I said, "where is the specific place and how long are they going to do it?"

"Just heard Hu Qingguo casually say that it is a place called Changhe, Shilong Town."

"Are you sure it's this place?"

"It should be right." Jiang Yilong heard that my tone was wrong and asked, "what's the matter?"

I said, "Uncle Zhang's home is in Changhe, Shilong Town. If Hu Qingguo is near Uncle Zhang's home, do you think it's a coincidence?"

"This, this is impossible?"

"I don't think so." I paused and asked, "how long are they going to leave?"

"Tomorrow. I had no excuse to refuse Hu Qingguo face to face, so I promised at that time. Besides, if I refused directly, it would be difficult for Zheng Jie to make a job at that time. Younger martial brother, do you want to tell Zheng Jie about it now? If something goes wrong at that time, we are not people on both sides and are angry at both inside and outside."

"Well, tomorrow you and Hu Qingguo will work together to finally determine the specific location. Once there is any news, you will contact me immediately."

"Let's do it first. You may be busy with Uncle Zhang during this period. It's not early, and you have to rest early."

It's really not early. Coupled with a long time of tossing, I really want to fall to the ground and close my clothes and sleep. I went back to the hut and lay on the grass mat. After a few minutes, I fell into a dream. But I don't know how long later, a continuous slight sound lingered in my ears, so that I couldn't sleep at all, but I didn't want to open my eyes. At this time, someone suddenly pushed me several times in a row. I had nowhere to vent my anger, but when my eyes opened, I saw that the person who woke me up was Bai Ling through the light in the shed.

I just wanted to speak, Bai Ling made a silent move to me, and immediately pointed sideways to the place where Uncle Zhang was lying. I looked at the place where Uncle Zhang was lying, and I didn't see him at all. Then Bai Ling pointed out to the outside of the shed, as thin as a mosquito, and said, "I just found Uncle Zhang out. Do you want to follow him?"

I was stunned. Uncle Zhang was about to die. His body was so poor that he didn't lie down and rest at this time. Instead, he left everyone while we were all resting. In case of any mistake, no one could bear the responsibility. But after the thought sank, another thought came into my mind. I wanted to wake up Zhang Zhongyi's family, but looking in the direction of their rest, Zhang Zhongyi held his mother-in-law and slept like a dead pig, so I simply gave up the idea. "How long has he been out alone?"

"Just now, according to his current physical condition, he can't go far."

Bai Ling and I hurried out, stood outside the hut and looked around. We saw that a figure walked very hard and slowly in the dark space by the light of the cold moon. We were sure it was Uncle Zhang. Just as Bai Ling was about to turn on the flashlight, I quickly stopped him. "There must be his reason. Don't disturb him first. Let's go up and have a look."

Bai Ling nodded.

We crept behind and kept a distance of no more than five meters from Uncle Zhang. Finally, Uncle Zhang came to an ancient well with a wooden stick. The ancient well was surrounded by weeds and a slate was pressed on the wellhead. If Zhang Zhongyi hadn't said it was an ancient well when he came, we would never have guessed. But it's strange to say. I remember when Zhang Zhongyi mentioned the ancient well to us, I could obviously see that Uncle Zhang looked a little excited. Could it be that Uncle Zhang came here at a great risk tonight? What's the secret behind it?

Uncle Zhang was in very bad health. After such a long journey, Bai Ling and I were worried that he would see the king of hell the next moment. Just then, Uncle Zhang suddenly fell to the ground. Fortunately, there were thick weeds around him. If it was a place like a sharp stone pile, the consequences would be unimaginable. Bai Ling could not help but want to rush out, but he was still stopped by me ruthlessly.

Uncle Zhang was lying on the ground, breathing heavily and resting for almost two or three minutes. He climbed towards the ancient well that had already been sealed. His action didn't stop until he climbed to the ancient well. "I... I'm back... I'm back. I'll... This time I'll never go again."

He said such a sentence intermittently. Bai Ling and I felt a little strange for a long time. But we didn't expect that Uncle Zhang cried immediately after he finished this sentence. His voice seemed desolate, and it was strange at such a time and night.

According to my physical examination of Uncle Zhang, he can endure at least a few more days. If the situation is good, I'm not sure about the time myself. However, after Uncle Zhang's toss this evening, the time he can endure will be greatly reduced. However, it happened so abnormally that there must be an unknown secret behind it.

I want to know, very much

Bai Ling said, "brother Zhiyuan, he can't delay any more. He can't bear it if it goes on like this."

If it was good before, but when I learned Bai Ling's true identity, I always wanted to say something to her. She is a fox fairy who has practiced for more than 200 years. I only live for a few years. Brother Zhiyuan mouthful by mouthful, I feel very uncomfortable. "Call me Zhiyuan later. Remember. Don't scare the snake. We'll wait a little longer."
