Mountains and seas close at hand

At this moment, a car with a license plate of Su A drove away under Zutang Mountain.

Seeing the gate of the park disappear from view, but no one was chasing after them, the four people in the car breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Damn it, I'm so scared to death, it's so fucking exciting!" Pan Xiaohong patted his chest, "Damn it, it hurts...my unicorn arm is useless."

Song Banyan turned to look at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu also looked at her, and said slowly, "Sister Song, when will you let me go?"

Song Banyan smiled: "I don't dare to kidnap minors. You have all your hands, feet and arms, and I didn't tie you up with a rope. You can leave now if you want. What? I miss the one who went to the grave with your boss day?"

Bai Xunhua glanced at the rearview mirror. On Xiao Wu's face, he pretended to have a slippery smirk when he was negotiating with an adult, but his eyes were full of youthful embarrassment that pierced his mind.

"This is probably why Banyan left him behind." Bai Xunhua relaxed and concentrated on driving.

Although Xiaowu has been in the "Jianghu" for a long time, he is only 17 years old. The child's temper is still there, and knowing that Song Banyan and the others are not vicious villains, his temper suddenly came up, and he said angrily: "Stop the car, I want to get off the car." car!"

Pan Xiaohong, who was watching the lively people eating melons, burst out laughing when he said this: "It's better to wait until the urban area for this wilderness."

The child has a bad temper and can't be persuaded, Pan Xiaohong's words are like adding fuel to the fire, and Xiao Wu is about to open the car door with his hand.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Bai Xunhua pressed the child lock with a "click".

Xiao Wu pulled it a few times but failed to pull it away, and immediately became more anxious, wishing to punch and kick the car door.Song Banyan was a little dazed for a while, she didn't expect it to develop like this, so she gave Pan Xiaohong a sideways look angrily.

Pan Xiaohong quickly grabbed Xiao Wu: "Hey, hey, let's leave the car door open, let's talk about it if we have something to say. Anyway, the friendship between going up the mountain of swords and going down the sea of ​​fire together, what about it!"

"Let go of me, who will go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire with you! Leave me alone, you are the same! I know it very well! Let me go soon..."

Song Banyan sighed helplessly, she just wanted to give Xiao Wu a bad impression, beat and beat him before being recruited into the group, so as not to be disobedient in the future.Unexpectedly, these children are now thin-skinned and violent, and they can't say a word.

Song Banyan looked at Bai Xunhua for help, Bai Xunhua pursed his lips and smiled, and said slowly, "Pan Xiaohong, do you know what we do?"

Bai Xunhua's words were straight and round, with a businesslike solemnity in his tone.When Pan Xiaohong heard this, he quickly sat upright, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, after thinking for a long time, he could only honestly say: "I don't know."

Xiao Wu couldn't help being secretly surprised, and thought: Hmph, I don't know what these people are doing, I'll listen first.

Song Banyan saw that the two people behind him sat down neatly, and secretly gave Bai Xunhua a thumbs up.

Bai Xunhua focused on the road ahead, and asked again: "Do you know what Xiao Wu does?"

Pan Xiaohong looked sideways at Xiao Wu, who rolled his eyes and turned to look out the window.At this time, Pan Xiaohong also came back to his senses, thinking that this day and night was really crazy.He didn't speak this time, just shook his head silently.

Bai Xunhua said softly: "Xiao Wu, what do you think Pan Xiaohong does?"

Xiao Wu rolled his eyes at the window, and thought: I don't guess!

How could Bai Xunhua not know what was going on in his mind, and after a short pause, he continued to speak slowly: "Nanjing has a population of 8307 million, and China has a population of 13 billion and 7000 million. I need a chance of 830 to 13 to meet Pan Xiaohong. One in 7000 billion is lucky to meet Xiao Wu. And we each have secrets in our hearts, so we should have just passed each other and never had a close friendship."

Song Banyan looked at Bai Xunhua, heard her slowly and calmly speak emotional words in a serious tone, and secretly praised in her heart: Miss Bai must be like a dog when negotiating in the mall.

Sure enough, Pan Xiaohong hugged Xiao Wu and let out a long sigh: "Yes, do you think it is fate that we can get together? If we don't treat you as our own, why should we bring you here to hunt for treasures? If you don't Come with us, why don't you run away when you are in the hotel. Let me tell you, we are destined to get together. A hero and three gangs, the protagonist must have brothers!"

"Fuck you!" Xiao Wu elbowed Pan Xiaohong on the chest and yelled, "Are your parents still there? The protagonist must die, do you know that!"

Song Banyan laughed out loud, and lay back on the seat.She thinks it's very funny, falling out at the slightest disagreement, blinking and laughing.

When Xiao Wu heard her laugh, he immediately shrank his shoulders, but it was Pan Xiaohong who patted Song Banyan's seat: "Why are you laughing, it's not that you want to chase Xiao Wu away."

Song Banyan raised his eyebrows: "Pan Xiaohong, do you think your resume is clean? How do I know if you are an undercover agent, pretending not to know those people, and ambush by my side to take the opportunity to send information."

Pan Xiaohong has been a clerk for more than a year, and he has never met anyone, so he can't tell the truth. He kicked Song Banyan's seat, and said with a smile: "Fuck you!"

Xiao Wu scratched his hair, took out the oilcloth bag from his trouser pocket, and handed it carefully to Song Banyan: "Sister Song, although I don't know what you do, I know you are amazing. I... am just a fool .If you look down on me, I..."

The moment Song Banyan took the oilcloth bag, he felt his heart beating wildly.She collected herself and asked, "Xiao Wu, have you seen Batman?"

Xiao Wu replied suspiciously: "I have seen it."

Song Banyan asked again: "Do you like Batman or Joker? Do you want to be Batman or Joker? Would you like to meet Batman or Joker?"

It took a long time for Xiao Wu to figure out how he wanted to answer.

Song Banyan didn't want the answer from the boy in the back seat. She turned around and stared into Xiao Wu's eyes, and said sincerely: "No matter whether the grass on the wall goes east or west, it always faces the sun. We smart people don't tell lies. The reason for pulling you into the group is because of your skill, and you want to join us because you want to have a good future, so let's cherish each other, shall we?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Xiao Wu stared at her blankly and rubbed his nose.Stretching out his hand to hold Song Banyan's hand, he nodded heavily: "Okay."

Pan Xiaohong said sadly from the side: "Oh, why is it that I am alone and draw circles in the corner without being loved or coaxed every time, and the agreed protagonist is now!"

"Don't be afraid that you have nothing to do, the business of your shabby pharmacy is not over yet." Song Banyan held up the oilcloth bag in his hand, "But for now, let's take a look at this first."

Pan Xiaohong and Xiao Wu jumped on the car seat and urged in unison: "Open it and have a look."

The boxy small oilcloth package, I don't know if it was originally like this, or because of the age, the dark brown oilcloth seems to have been coated with glue, sticking together and becoming hard.

Song Banyan carefully tried to peel it off with her hands, but found that the tarpaulin was stuck together. She looked carefully and said, "So it was painted with lacquer. Give me the knife."①

As soon as she raised her hand, Xiao Wu quickly handed over the utility knife.

Song Banyan carefully drew a white mark with the tip of the knife against the edge of the oilcloth, and followed the white mark with force, until the fifth time a small opening was cut.

Like performing the most delicate surgery, Song Banyan walked on thin ice, for fear of damaging the things inside the oilcloth.Slowly peel off the tarpaulin, finally revealing the contents inside.

This is an octagonal box the size of an ordinary moon cake, with exquisite workmanship, tightly sealed without any trace of the interface.There is a round wheel in the middle of the wooden box, only the size of a button, with a three-dimensional arrow carved delicately.

"It's it!" Song Banyan looked at the octagonal box over and over again, feeling his blood boil all over his body.

Bai Xunhua glanced at her and asked, "Now we can go directly back to the city and let Lancinate catch up. Why don't we go to Dean Zeng's cemetery as planned?"

Song Banyan was studying the octagonal box hard, and trembled when he heard the words: "Go! I want to reveal this secret in front of Mr. Zeng's grave."

Mr. Zeng's tomb is not far from the Second Tomb of the Southern Tang Dynasty, just near the Hongjue Temple in Zutang Mountain, which is extremely remote.Bai Xunhua locked the car, took out a bouquet from the trunk and handed it to Song Banyan.She looked around, recalled the location on the map, and walked to the right: "This way." Everyone quickly followed.

Although it has already entered autumn, the vegetation on Zutang Mountain is still lush.The secluded path is silent, and the wind will bring rustling whispers in the mountains and forests.From the right side of the west gate of Hongjue Temple, the four of them walked along the path to the end, and saw a solitary tomb.

Song Banyan's heart was beating wildly like a drum, she froze in place, she was stunned for a while before walking forward tremblingly...

"Who!" Xiao Wu suddenly roared.

Bai Xunhua was startled suddenly, and saw a figure flashing around the corner of the path, Lancinate walking slowly with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums startled by residual snow.She walked to the tomb as if no one was there, presented a white chrysanthemum, took off her top hat and bowed deeply.

Song Banyan's mind was shaken, seeing her suddenly at this moment, he was at a loss for a while.

Lancinate put on her top hat and stared at the tombstone quietly.The original tombstone has been destroyed by the Cultural Revolution, but the current tombstone is erected in the back, using Jinnong lacquer calligraphy, but the date of erection is still written "Established in April 50".Trying to cover up those absurd and weird years, as if time really stopped at that moment, and passed [-] years peacefully.

"It is not appropriate to use force in front of the grave, sir. I will exchange a lychee for what you have in your hand."

Song Banyan suddenly clenched the small octagonal box in his hand and roared angrily, "Dream."

Lancinate slowly turned around and looked at Song Banyan. Her eyes were very special, without the curved curvature of the upper and lower eyelids of ordinary people, which looked weird and sharp.

Song Banyan seemed to be watched by a wild animal, and felt his hair stand on end.She took a slow and deep breath, trying to convince Lancinate: "Mr. Zeng has always been poor and happy, and will not hide treasures."

Lancinate repeated: "I will exchange a lychee for what you have in your hand."

This time Song Banyan had no way to refuse decisively, she clearly knew what Licao meant.

But in this world, Lancinate is not the only one who owns lychee, right?Maybe I'll even be able to find one for Kaoru from that drugstore today.

For Bai Xunhua...

Song Banyan clenched the octagonal box in her hand, telling her with her beating heart how important this box was to her.

who am I?

Where am I from?

Where am I going?

who are my parentsAre you still alive?Do I have siblings?Do you have any friends?where have you been?Who have you met?Is it a memory or a fantasy that flashes in your mind?

......

Song Banyan covered his head in pain, and tremblingly supported the tombstone.Bai Xunhua's heart ached, and he wanted to step forward, but he couldn't take this step.

Pan Xiaohong and Xiao Wu couldn't figure out the situation all the time, and they were both at a loss.Seeing that the situation was not good at this moment, they didn't care too much, and the two rushed to Lancinate in one step.

"Stop!" Song Banyan shouted.

Lancinate has no skill, even ten Pan Xiaohong and Xiao Wu are not enough for her.

"You are very smart, and you know that beauty is a disaster." Song Banyan's face was as pale as paper, but he stood proudly and straight.She raised her hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead, raised her chin slightly and smiled at Lancinate, "If possible, I want to see what's inside."

"Half smoke!" Bai Xunhua hurriedly stopped.Although she was moved by Song Banyan's choice, she understood that Song Banyan's attachment to Mr. Zeng must be related to her background.You can find more lychees, but this octagonal box is unique.

However, it was too late, Song Banyan threw the box out with a wave of his hand.She raised her eyebrows mischievously, and showed a bright smile to Bai Xunhua: "I am smarter, and I have a beautiful face."

Lancinate raised his hand to catch the octagonal box and found that it was a trick box.The outside is made of octagon, and the top is round, which obviously corresponds to the innate gossip diagram.There is an arrow on the mechanism wheel, and the uppercase Qi is engraved on the back of the wooden box, and the seven corresponds to the Gen hexagram in the innate gossip.The hexagram Gen is a mountain, which means stop, and it is located in the northwest.

Seeing Lancinate taking off her gloves, Song Banyan knew that she was about to open the mechanism box, so she subconsciously said, "Seven is the hexagram Zhen, corresponding to the northeast corner."

Lancinate frowned upon hearing the words, regardless of whether the eight trigrams were congenital or postmortem, seven did not correspond to earthquakes.She was naturally unmoved, and turned the wheel pointer to the northwest corner of the corresponding octagonal box, and lightly pressed the arrow.

"Crack!"

"—boom."

Caught off guard twice, everyone had no time to be surprised, and saw the octagonal box suddenly burst into flames after a muffled sound!The intensity of the fire made Lancinate startled suddenly, and dropped the octagonal box on the ground.

The octagonal wooden box, like a small fireball, rolled to Song Banyan's feet.
