Chapter Thirty-Eighth: Old Tan
After walking for half an hour, the slope reached a point where we could no longer continue. Peanut stopped, turned back to us and said, "I'll rush down first to see what's going on. You just stand still and don't move."
This man completely ignored my and Lao Tan's opinions. After speaking, he ran downhill and disappeared in a second or two. I only saw his flashlight light slowly turning into a light spot, and then he also fell into the trap.
In the dark.
The surroundings became quiet again. I crouched down and steadied myself on the slope, staring at the darkness below. Occasionally I looked at the cliff next to me, and I felt gusts of cold wind blowing up from below. In the hot summer,
It seems a little refreshing, but more importantly, it makes people shudder.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response. When I was thinking about whether to follow him and have a look, suddenly, there was a burst of singing from behind.
"The bloom of Shandandan is so red..." The song was extremely low and melodious. Suddenly heard in the silence, I couldn't help but shiver. Looking back, I saw Lao Tan sitting there.
On the slope, I looked faintly at the darkness beside me and sang that familiar folk song.
"Lao Yuan." Lao Tan stopped singing and suddenly smiled at me, "What do you think will happen to you if I kick you now?"
I was almost stunned. I felt that he was acting very weird. Now that I heard what he said, I immediately felt a little angry. I thought to myself that I was joking without even looking at the time. But when I was about to curse, I couldn't help but feel...
There was a sudden coldness. At this moment, the smile I was accustomed to on Lao Tan's face suddenly looked a little sinister. I stared at him, and something suddenly flashed in my heart. However, before I could grasp that feeling,
, disappeared again.
"Damn, I'm just kidding you. Who cares?" Lao Tan expressed his dissatisfaction when he saw that I just waited for him without saying anything for a long time.
"No, I seemed to remember something just now, but..."
Halfway through my words, Lao Tan suddenly burst into laughter. It was a sudden wild laughter in a very quiet environment. The sound was so loud that it almost scared me to fall off the slope. I originally wanted to scold him, but, Lao Tan laughed.
Tan suddenly stopped laughing and looked at me with a sinister look on his face.
"Oh, Master Yuan, I think... no need." In an instant, Lao Tan's voice turned into a pure northwest accent.
"Fuck, what are you doing?" I stared at Lao Tan's expression at this moment, and felt a little strange in my heart.
"I'm not doing anything, so I don't want to hold back those Yanjing dialects anymore." Old Tan still spoke with a northwest accent, tilting his head and moving his body very relaxedly.
At this time, I was actually completely baffled and didn't understand what Lao Tan was doing. However, his current language and expression made me don't know how to deal with it.
As he said that, Lao Tan walked steadily up the slope to me with relaxed steps. "It's time, Young Master of the Yuan family."
"You..." I knew immediately that something was wrong, and immediately took a few steps up.
Lao Tan's Northwest accent was so authentic that I knew that as long as he was not from there, it would be impossible to talk to people with this accent. So, my first reaction was that this person was not Lao Tan.
"Who are you?" I turned around and shouted.
"I'm Tan Wei." Old Tan smiled at me.
"Fuck you, Old Tan's ancestors have been from Yanjing for ten lifetimes, who the hell are you?" I said, remembering what Old Tan told me at the waterfall. I felt a little outrageous at the time, but now
When I thought about it, holy shit, this person might not be Lao Tan at all. But if he wasn't, how could he look exactly like Lao Tan?
Lao Tan smiled again, and then started talking in Yanjing dialect, "Yuan Jie, don't be too surprised, I'm just taking advantage of this to show off my cards with you."
I stared at this person carefully, and a cold fear suddenly spread throughout my body.
"You don't need to doubt that I am Lao Tan. However, unlike what you think, I am not only your college classmate and your good brother for four years, but I am also the person who has been monitoring you for four years."
"Spy on... me?" My heart skipped a beat.
"I know you can't accept it for the moment, but it doesn't matter. We can take it slow. We still have a lot of time." Lao Tan spoke in a completely different tone than usual. "Originally, my identity does not need to be revealed in front of you. Si
As soon as I graduate from college, I can successfully retire, but it's a pity that your father actually concealed the "Blue Blood Dragon Mark" from us. As a result, I have to do more work to deal with the aftermath.
.”
"Are you kidding me?" I simply couldn't accept what he said.
They monitored me for four whole years. During these four years, the classmate, friend, and even my only brother after I arrived in Yanjing who talked to me about everything was actually someone sent to monitor me. This, this
Absolutely impossible. This kind of thing can only happen in movies and TV shows. My brain instinctively began to refuse to believe everything he said.
However, suddenly, the thought that flashed through my mind just now suddenly appeared in my mind again. After catching that thought, I began to step back involuntarily.
Lao Tan lit up a cigarette and whispered: "Four years is not long or short. Hey, sometimes I really think of myself as the Tan Wei you know. I feel like that
Life is really good. It's a pity that you are Yuan Long's son, and I am destined to be a tomb robber when I am born."
"You are a tomb robber..."
Lao Tan nodded and then laughed again.
"No, that's not right, don't you have a grandma in Yanjing? I've met her before, we..." I suddenly felt that everything in my brain became a little blurry, and I didn't know how to continue speaking.
.I remembered Lao Tan’s grandma, who was very kind and always smiled at me when we met. Lao Tan said she was mute. I even said a lot to her at that time, scolding Lao Tan for not being respectful enough to his grandma.
Now that I think about it...could it be an old man that Lao Tan randomly found?
"Don't think about the past, Yuan Jie. Those are all lies. However, we have been friends for four years after all. Don't worry, as long as you come with me, I will never make it too difficult for you." Lao Tan said.
His expression was extremely calm, and he didn't seem to be worried that I would make any resistance.
The last line of defense in my heart was torn apart. I felt like I was floating on something. I was in an extremely bad mood, but I didn’t know what to do. The sudden memory in my mind became clearer and clearer. I looked at Lao Tan in front of me.
, I slowly remembered the one before setting off from my hometown
In the evening, we dragged the Eight-Yin Mouse up from the cellar. Everyone was frightened. Tan Wei took it out on him, beat him, and finally slapped the mouse on the head. The spot where he slapped the mouse was
, the location of the fatal wound on the head is the same as when the mouse died.
I also remembered that Erluzi said that Peanut was poisoned. At that time, after Peanut was injured, the only people who came into contact with him were me and Tan Wei... Thinking of this, I just felt that my head started to hurt, Dou Da
Beads of sweat began to trickle down his forehead and onto his body.
"The mouse, yes, yes... did you kill it?" I spoke in such a low voice that even I couldn't distinguish it.
"Hehehehe, that kid should have died a long time ago. I deliberately let him live one more day, which is my kindness." Tan Wei laughed so wildly that a human life seemed like nothing in his laughter.
It's just as insignificant. "I originally wanted to kill the peanuts as well, but I don't know what that guy's background is. He can even defuse the poison of purple heart grass. Humph, but he walked down this slope, so that's it.
Don’t expect to come up again.”
"What do you mean?" I reflexively looked down the slope.
Tan Wei smiled and said: "What's underneath will definitely surprise him."
When I heard what he said, I immediately had a strange feeling. Could it be... "Have you been here before?" I asked in surprise.
"It's an old thing." Tan Wei looked around with some emotion, "Huh, I didn't expect that I would come back to this ghost place."
"What do you want to do now?" As I said that, I couldn't help but start to worry about Peanut. Looking in front of me, I suddenly wanted to rush down the slope, knock Tan Wei away, and then go down to find Peanut. I don't know what happened to Peanut now.
, but since Tan Wei dared to show off with me at this time, he must be very confident. Looking back carefully, Peanut has been by my side since I heard about "Blue Blood Dragon Pattern".
