Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 116

He Luan looked down at Chen Wei, thought he was cute, kissed him, and squeezed his quilt corner in his hands: "What are they doing there? You're all gone, what should they do? Won't you come back?"

Chen Wei rubbed against his shoulder to make it warmer, and said, "I don't know. Anyway, they just stayed there. I don't know what they are doing there, when they will come back, and where they will live. But someone told me that they It is guarding the corpse of the monster there, which is equivalent to guarding the grave."

He Luan jerked violently, tightened Chen Wei's quilt, and said with a frown, "The informant told me that he has been guarding the tomb in Niang Zhan's house."

"Fuck, I haven't thought of this level yet." Chen Wei straightened up and forgot to drink the ginger soup in his hand, "Assuming the meanings of the two are the same, is the informant also guarding the corpse of some monster? Monster Died in Zhanniang's house?"

"Who knows."

Chen Wei patted He Luan's hand: "You said that the informant gave you a few things, which are relics of your father. Have you seen them?"

"Not yet." He Luan said as he got out of bed and took out a letter and an old-fashioned tape recorder from the bottom drawer of the wardrobe. Ordinarily, such old antiques are not seen in this era.

The envelope was intact, no one had ever opened it, and it was sealed with baking varnish. Chen Wei took a closer look, and found that the pattern of the lacquer stamp was very strange, it was a fox face with a smile that was not a smile.

What kind of strange seal is this?Few people use baking varnish stamps to seal the seals anymore. Although this old aristocratic method is elegant, it always looks like an ancient tomb and the gloomyness of a corpse.

He Luan was holding the tape recorder in his hand and was fiddling with the buttons. Chen Wei felt that the inside of such an old antique must be rusted to death.He Luan turned his head to look into Chen Wei's eyes, and gestured: "Then I open it now?"

The start button was pressed, and there was a click, and then the tape recorder hummed, and a few seconds later, a deep and distant male voice gradually filled the silent room, and the snowflakes outside the window were still falling, covering the roof and endless pine forests.

The audio is stored in small segments, just like a diary, where the owner records his life with a few words casually.

First paragraph: "When you hear this passage, it will be ten years later. The weather in February 2008 is a bit cold, remember to add a few more clothes."

The second paragraph: "On the first day we arrived at the snow mountain, we didn't feel excited. On the contrary, due to the long journey, when we saw the snow peak for the first time, we thought it was so ordinary."

The third paragraph: "We rested under the snow-capped mountains for a few days. We stood in the field and watched the giant eagle hovering on the top of the mountain. I felt relieved. When I had the idea of ​​living here for the rest of my life, Xiao Erhuai came and interrupted my thoughts." Fantasy. The Xiao family is always so realistic."

The fourth paragraph: "On the fourth day, we began to advance into the depths of the snow mountain. I don't know what's in the snow mountain, and I don't know if I can find the secret of time, but I followed everyone in."

Paragraph [-]: "People started to die one after another, although this was expected. The first one was Lao Yang, whose body was pecked by giant eagles. The second one was Xiao Erhuai , He fell into the abyss. There are not many of us left, and I understand that what awaits us ahead is only endless blood, despair and death."

The voice in the sixth paragraph visibly trembled, and there were chaotic murmurs: "I saw a miracle for the first time, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought I must be crazy, or dreaming or something, I would rather believe I'm crazy."

The seventh paragraph ends abruptly: "A military base of the German army."

Eighth paragraph: "Today is February 2008, 2, the last day of February, spring is coming soon. I think today may be my last day in this world, all of us have to die because we I have glimpsed the secret of the way of heaven. Haizi said that the farther distance is more lonely, and there is nothing in the distance except the distance. We should not come here, those who peep at the way of heaven will not end well.”

When the ninth piece of audio was turned on, there was a piercing electric sound coming out of the recorder, and then a sound similar to an explosion. It was a mess, and a sound line was squeezed into the noise, which sounded like the hissing of a snake. Creepy: "Ten years from now..."

All the voices were over, and the recorder continued to hum. He Luan held the small metal box and watched the lights on it blink.The room fell into silent quicksand, and even the snow falling outside the window could be heard.

crazy.

He Luan quickly got up and sat down at the desk, and moved the sundries on the desk aside.Chen Wei threw off the quilt, pulled out his clothes, and put on He Luan's horn-buttoned overcoat. He moved a chair and sat down beside He Luan.

"Help me turn on the tape recorder." He Luan spread out a blank sheet of paper and handed the tape recorder to Chen Wei, "I'll write down the content of the audio."

Turned down a bit, it didn't sound so scary.Chen Wei watched the shaft in the tape recorder slowly rotate, the man's voice was a little distorted, it sounded like it had a hypnotic effect.

He Luan listened to one sentence and wrote one sentence. He wrote very quickly, and the tip of the pen rubbed against the white paper to make a scratching sound.His hands were slightly stiff and trembled as he wrote.Knowing his mood, Chen Wei stretched out his hand to hold the back of He Luan's hand, signaling him not to be nervous.

The last sound ended, Chen Wei turned off the audio, and the snake-like hissing stopped abruptly.He Luan exhaled almost imperceptibly, and propped his forehead to read the writing on the paper.

"'When you heard this passage', who was this sentence said to? Who is this 'you'?" He Luan circled it with a pen, "Is it me? Or is it himself? Neither can make sense .”

"If it was to you, then he knew you were going to get the tape recorder in ten years. If it was to himself, it means that he expected to go there again in ten years. However, What does February 2008 mean?"

"It seems like this 'it's cold' doesn't make sense because it's not 2008 anymore."

"Let's not discuss this for now." Chen Wei said, sliding his finger down and pressing on the word "Snow Mountain", "Which snow mountain is the snow mountain in his mouth? matter."

He Luan leaned against the back of the chair, held the cup to keep warm, thought for a while, and said, "The informant said that my father is still alive and in Kailash. Could this snow mountain be Mount Kailash?"

"Do you believe what the informant said? He suddenly appeared with unknown identity, unknown origin, and unknown purpose. How credible are his words?"

"I saw my father die with my own eyes, and I buried it with my own hands." He Luan said lightly, these are all sad events in the past, "Since ten years ago, he has changed as if he was a different person. face, but I always feel that he is someone else."

Chen Wei didn't answer. He leaned on his knees and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Now someone suddenly came out and said that your father is still alive. It sounds absurd, but it's not impossible."

He Luan pulled him over, kissed Chen Wei on the forehead, and said, "Let's see and do it. You may not believe what other people say, but you must believe in yourself."

"Does Teacher Jiangqu know these things?" Chen Wei pointed to the tape recorder and the envelope.

"Teacher Jiangqu doesn't know yet. I communicated with the informant alone, and no officers or anything can go in."

Chen Wei stroked his chin, pointed to He Luan the baking varnish on the envelope seal, and said, "What does this badge mean?"

He Luan shook his head: "I don't know, and the informant didn't say anything. He gave me the things and then left. There is no one to be found."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which startled Chen Wei.Shang Pu's voice calling for someone came from outside, he hurriedly answered, put on his shoes and went to open the door.He Luan put away the tape recorder, looked at the envelope, took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the painted badge.

Shang Pu told them to go to the restaurant, saying that the pot was ready, and he was waiting for them to go, and they had to go if they didn't, and Teacher Jiangqu was there.

As soon as Chen Wei talked about eating out, he got excited. He breathed into his palms, jumped up and down, and turned his head to greet He Luan.He Luan put away his phone, pulled out a camel hair scarf to wrap around Chen Wei, held his face and kissed him.

In the middle of the meal, Jiang Qu left to buy cigarettes, Chen Wei and Shang Pu started punching, there was a shed in the yard, and a lamp hung on it, drunk as if about to fall asleep.

He Luan left with an excuse, went out and crossed the road with few street lights, Jiang Qu bought cigarettes in the grocery store opposite, lit a lighter, and the tongue of flame danced in the dark night.

Jiang Qu didn't go back to the dinner table right away, he walked to the side to lean against the pillar to smoke, and caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the corner of his eyes, it turned out to be He Luan: "Why did you come here? Aren't you playing with them?"

"No, come out to get some fresh air and buy some wine." He Luan said lightly. He took out some change from his pocket and asked the grocery store owner for a bottle of low-alcohol concocted wine.

Smoke wafted across the empty streets, a few crooked wires crossed the roof of the courtyard wall, and flower beds were set up in front of every house, all of which were buried by snow at this moment.Jiangqu smoked for a while, then lowered his head to sweep the snow off the stone pier, and sat down.

"Teacher, what is the identity of the person who came from Niang Zhan's house?" He Luan asked, with his hands in his arms and the wine bottle in his pocket.

Jiangqu took a puff of smoke, and there were many wrinkles on his dark face: "Tombkeeper."

"Which tomb are you guarding?"

"The fairy tomb."

He Luan didn't understand Jiang Qu's meaning, but he didn't ask too much, because he couldn't find out if he asked again, and everyone kept it secret.He Luan changed the subject: "He said he had worked with my father, teacher, what is the relationship between them?"

"Family alliance." Jiang Qu lowered his hands, shaking off the cigarette ash, "I was also a member of them back then. This time I went to Niang Zhan's House to invite him out, because you came."

"I'm here? What do you mean?"

Jiang Qu glanced at He Luan indifferently, without speaking, and continued to smoke his golden leaf, the smoke gradually rose.A ox came down the street pulling an empty cart, snorting.

Seeing that Jiang Qu didn't speak, He Luan also guessed that it was unusual. He pursed his lips and hesitated a few times before turning on the phone screen: "Since it's a family alliance, have you seen this badge, sir?"

Jiang Qu finally raised his head to look at He Luan's cell phone. When he saw the photo for the first time, Jiang Qu's fingers trembled.He took the phone over and stared at it silently for a while, his eyes narrowed as if recalling.

"Smiling fox, Mr. Hu." Jiang Qu said eight words.

"How do you say that?"

"You, the He family, follow the Huba family. The master is Mr. Hu San, and the family badge is this smiling fox." Jiangqu said, "All families that follow the Huba family must use this badge. Your father also I have kept you secret enough, I don’t know any of this.”

He Luan couldn't take it anymore, he had never heard of the words Jiang Qu said.Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Qu stamped out the cigarette butt and stood up, patted He Luan's arm: "Boy, it's useless to explain to you now, you will know by yourself when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he tightened his jacket and crossed the road. He Luan stood there for a while, followed him quickly, and walked into the dining yard with him.He Luan gave Chen Wei the hot wine, and the dinner ended late at night.

When Song Chen woke up from the coma, he heard the sound of pattering rain. The sound seemed distant and near, sometimes it was close to his ears, and sometimes it floated to the sky.He opened his heavy eyelids, and it took him a while to see clearly. The flickering light was a candle.

He found himself in a cave with a fur blanket under his body, the walls of the cave were rough and dry, and a candle hung on the wall and burned slowly.There are a few metal boxes piled up in the corner, judging from the marks on them, they should be ammunition.

The back of my head was so painful that I couldn't lift it up, my neck seemed to be broken, and a bandage on my left shoulder was pulled down and wrapped around my ribs.Song Chen's throat felt dry and he wanted to drink water, but he couldn't move.

A piece of dense green seeps through the entrance of the cave, vaguely, like mountains in spring.Song Chen didn't know where this was. In the warm candle smoke, he heard the rain falling.

Suddenly a person came in, making a rustling sound, as if shaking rainwater off his clothes.He quickly walked to the place where Song Chen was lying, brought a burst of moisture, and when he saw Song Chen's opened eyes, his cold expression finally eased.

"Are you awake? Sit up when you wake up." Tang Ji said, and he sat down on the fur blanket.

Song Chen looked at him without speaking or moving.

Tang Ji and him looked at each other for a while, and finally reached out to copy Song Chen's back, carefully set him up, and leaned on the soft cushion.Song Chen had no clothes on his upper body and was bandaged like a mummy, but he didn't feel cold, which was strange.

"Water." Song Chen said briefly, his throat was dry and cracked, and his swollen speech seemed to be pumping a bellows, "Where is this? Chita?"

Tang Ji poured hot water for him from a kettle, and wrung out a clean towel: "It's not Chita, we entered the light acceleration field in Chita and passed through. They were going to kill you, but luckily I put You took it."

Song Chen drank water, his throat became slightly lubricated, and the swelling feeling disappeared.He took the towel and wiped his face until his nose was red. He said, "Where are you wearing now? Can you go back?"

"...We can go back if we seize the opportunity." Tang Ji said ambiguously.

"Why did you save me? I remember your officer said he wanted you to kill me." Song Chen asked lightly, putting his hands on his lap.

Tang Ji washed the towel expressionlessly, and replied: "I don't want you to die. You have saved me several times, and the debt of favor must be repaid. You should act together with me, anyway, you will soon become a regular."

Song Chen laughed, but he didn't seem to be smiling, and started another topic: "What are you going to do next? Where are you going to act?"

"Your injuries haven't healed yet. You won't be going anywhere these days. We have to wait for someone here. When he comes and your injuries are healed, we'll go on a mission."

"Who are we waiting for? How long are we going to wait?"

Tang Ji looked at the falling rain outside the cave and said, "I don't know how long it will take to wait for an old friend, maybe a few days, maybe a few months."

Song Chen closed his eyes slightly, his whole body seemed to be falling apart in pain, only the two skins of his mouth could move.Tang Ji fed him a few sips of water, and Song Chen asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"long time."

The two stopped talking again, Song Chen was speechless, Tang Ji was not good at speaking.The cave was very quiet, with a smell of dry firewood. Song Chen took advantage of the silence to look around, and saw the whole cave clearly by the light of the candle.

"What is that?" Song Chen saw a black thing hanging on the wall, hanging there alone, looking very abrupt.

Tang Ji was sitting on a rock and was polishing a dagger. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "You didn't throw away your leather hat. It was hung up after washing it."

Song Chen squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to recognize that it was a hat. He suddenly wanted to laugh, but he didn't know why.Tang Ji still sat and sharpened his knife like that, the cold light of the knife made the cave brighter.

Thinking of the battle on the snowfield of Lake Baikal, Song Chen felt that it was like a dream. Now that he woke up, those gunshots and flames were all far away from his previous life.He didn't know what happened afterwards, he only knew that he was still alive, and that was enough.

Just being alive is enough.

Tang Ji finished sharpening the knife, stuck the dagger into the scabbard, and started assembling the machine gun again. He occasionally looked up at Song Chen, who had been staring at a spot on the wall in front of him in a daze.Tang Ji, who was not good at speaking, couldn't help breaking the silence at this time: "What are you thinking?"

"I miss home, I think about what my parents are doing now. There are a lot of things to prepare for the New Year in my hometown, the fish in the Songhua River, and the wild rabbits in Daxing'an Mountains." Song Chen said, folding his hands, with a charming tone.

The candle flickered, Tang Ji stood up, put the dagger in his waist, and fastened his leather boots.Song Chen watched his movements. Tang Ji put on a rubber raincoat and was about to go out. He turned around and said, "I'm going to get something. Don't move here."

When he came back, he was carrying two medium-sized fish. Song Chen took a rough look and found that they should be crucian carp seeds.

"Where did the fish come from?"

"I caught it. There is a river outside. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the river rushing."

Tang Ji remained silent, Song Chen tilted his head and listened carefully, and he really heard the rumbling sound, like a Baizhang waterfall rushing down.He thought of his hometown, where there were high mountains and deep streams, fresh fermented grains for green ants, and barking chaimen dogs.

The boiler was set up, and Song Chen soon heard the sound of boiling water.Tang Ji sat outside and killed the fish, cleaned it before bringing it in, so as not to bring in the fishy smell.He sprinkled some condiments in it, that is, some simple onions and garlic, which he dug from somewhere.

He boiled a pot of fish soup, stirred it with a spoon, and the fish was stewed.Song Chen smelled the strong aroma of the soup and watched the flames under the stove jumping up and down. Tang Ji opened a leather bag and took out a bag of black pepper powder from it.

Song Chen suddenly remembered that Tang Ji had bought this pepper powder at Hailanpao Railway Station, and he kept it all the time, but then he forgot about it.

Sprinkle the black pepper powder, and a delicious smell soon permeated the cave. Song Chen felt that this smell was familiar, as if he was in the woods beside the Heilongjiang River again. Don't know anyone.

"The soup is ready, drink some." Tang Ji brought the bowl in front of Song Chen, and looked at the green onions floating on the milky white thick soup, "You haven't eaten for a long time, you are not in good health, eat some meat to make up for it."

Song Chen took it, but he didn't have the strength to hold the bowl steadily, and the soup in it almost spilled out.Tang Ji hurriedly stabilized it, replaced it with his own, and said silently for a while: "Forget it, I'll feed you."

"Tang Ji." Song Chen called his name.

"Is something wrong?"

"You're getting more and more human now."

Song Chen put the spoon in his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of fish.Tang Ji raised his eyelids to look at him, those eyes were as dark as a beast, and he couldn't see any emotion at this moment: "I'll eat it so readily? Are you afraid there is poison in the soup?"

"If you want to kill, kill it early."

Tang Ji didn't speak anymore, he touched the back of his hot head, ignored it, and sat by the bed and fed the soup in the bowl to Song Chen's mouth spoon by spoon.
