Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 664 Don't

Ah Shui told me that I couldn't be contacted.

The last time Ma Yi'ao called him, he was still in a small town on the border of Hami, but after making the call, he entered Lop Nur——Lop Nur is located at the lowest point in the eastern Tarim Basin, in the Taklamakan Desert. The easternmost edge, because it is shaped like a human ear, is known as the "ear of the earth" and also known as the "sea of ​​death".

This place used to be a busy commercial route on the Silk Road. However, with the impact of climate change and human water conservancy projects, the water volume of the surrounding rivers has decreased, showing the status quo of saline-alkali land and desertification.

Lop Nur used to be a vast expanse of mist, but now it is integrated with the vast Taklamakan Desert and has become a place where not a single blade of grass grows.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country once sent many scientific expedition teams into Lop Nur to conduct historical and hydrological surveys, but accidents occurred frequently.

The most famous one is the event of "Pisces Jade Pendant" which has been passed down as miraculous.

In a word, Lop Nur, once a prosperous main road of the Silk Road and now a sea of ​​death, is mysterious and also hides great danger.

Ma Yi'ao entered it alone in order to find the magic sound suona, but whether he can succeed or not depends on the destiny.

Moreover, he might not be able to catch up with this grand "performance".

I sighed, and told Ah Shui everything I had learned now, and asked him to tell brother Ma when Ma Yi'ao regained contact.

Ah Shui and I share a friendship of life and death, and the trust between the two parties has gone far beyond the meaningful bond.

So I didn't have any precautions, and Ah Shui asked me after listening, "Will you go to the encirclement and suppression of Mind Eater this time?"

I thought for a while and asked him, "If you were me, would you go?"

Ah Shui said without hesitation: "Of course I won't go. Raise soldiers for thousands of days, use them for a while, and the higher-ups eat so much official rations and salaries, and the royal family who enjoys huge resources can't make money. Let you, an unrelated person, wait to take the blame. Is this suitable? You can go if you want, first let the group of salary earners go, they have countless top magic weapons in their hands, and they have taken baths with elixir and fairy grass since they were young. If you're all dead, you can go again, lest you stand up to the heart eater, and this group of people will turn around and plot against you, thinking about sharing the meat from you - thanks to your lack of cultivation, otherwise you will be killed every minute. People swallowed..."

Ah Shui knew a lot about my affairs, and was particularly concerned about Ye Fuguo's detainment of the villain and his desperate refusal to hand it over, so there was nothing good to say in his words.

I heard it and couldn't help laughing.

I said you remember to tell Ma Yi'ao for me.

After I hung up the phone, I suddenly wanted to smoke again. I had already finished the pack of big Qianmen Ping Xiaosi gave me last time, and I felt itchy in my heart. I couldn't help but went back to the convenience store to buy it.

When I went there, the store owner was watching the sitcom "I Love My Home", which is an old show, but it's very interesting.

I asked for a pack of cigarettes, lit it, and watched it for a while, and couldn't help laughing when I saw the joke.

The boss glanced at me and nodded in a friendly manner. I handed over a cigarette, but he took it, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, spit it out slowly, and then yawned.

Seeing his red eyes, I couldn't help asking: "Boss, there are not many guests in the middle of the night, why don't you close the door and go to sleep?"

The boss grinned and said that there is a factory nearby. At about one o’clock and 04:30, there will be two groups of people who leave the evening shift. They will buy something when they pass by. customer source.Those of us who do small businesses can do more if they can. I’m not from Guizhou. If you stay up late, your guests stay up during the day, if you work hard, you can always live your life...

I said it was so hard?
The boss took a puff of his cigarette, regained his energy, and said, "It's hard work, but it's also fun. On this street, there are not many people who stay open all night, and those who come to the door in the middle of the night are all urgent. Ergo, we have become acquaintances, and being needed by others is actually a kind of happiness—boss, are you right?"

When I heard that, I was a little relieved, I snuffed out the cigarette holder, put it in the ashtray next to it, and asked, "What's your name?"

The boss said, "My surname is Lu."

I took a pack of big front doors and went back to the phone booth.

This time I made a decision and called home.

In the middle of the night, it was very late, but the phone rang all of a sudden, and my father's voice came from the other end: "Hi, who are you looking for?"

I felt a little stuffy, sniffed, and said, "Dad, it's me."

Father was a little surprised, saying, Da Mo, why did you call in the middle of the night?This is not your phone number, where are you putting it now?

I said I was in Beijing.

My father was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Oh, is it cold in the capital now? Is it windy? I heard that the weather in the north is not very good now. There are always sandstorms and so on. You should pay more attention to yourself. away from home..."

I'm really not used to hearing him nagging like this.

In fact, in my impression, my father has always been a relatively taciturn person, but my mother is more verbose.

But at this moment, my father's greetings made me a little overwhelmed.

Because I felt, before I knew it, he was old.

I answered a few words, and then asked, "Where's Mom?"

The father said: "Your mother is still reconciling the accounts. The store has been very busy recently, with many people and chaos, and there have been some changes in personnel. She is a worried person. She won't go to sleep until the accounts are reconciled..."

Hearing this, I was a little sad at first, but I was somewhat relieved.

The original decision was correct. Rather than letting my parents spend their old age in a daze, it is better to let them have their own careers. In this way, they will not be lonely because I am not by my side, and even if I If something goes wrong, you won't always be immersed in the shadows, unable to get out.

I have my world, but they also have their own life.

I chatted with my father without saying a word, but knowing my son is like my father, my father sensed my absent-mindedness, and asked directly: "You child, what's the matter, just talk directly, in the middle of the night, I am still with you. What circles are you going around?"

When I heard that, I smiled wryly, and said, "Dad, I have something to do now, but it's very dangerous, and I may not be able to come back, so calling you is a farewell."

When the father heard this, he was a little excited and asked, "What are you going to do? Can you not do it?"

I shook my head with a wry smile, and said into the microphone: "No, I have to go, this is my responsibility."

The father on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "You have grown up now, and you have your own opinions. I can't stop you, and I don't know much about your affairs. If you can avoid it, avoid it, if you can't, then don't disgrace our old Hou family, you know?"

I didn't expect my father to say such a remark, after a while, he said: "Okay."

The father asked, "Do you need to call your mother over to answer the phone?"

I said yes, but don't tell her about it, I'm afraid she will think too much.

My father said don't worry, I know.

Then I chatted with my mother for half an hour, and the mother on the other end of the phone was still nagging, chatting with me about some trivial things about my parents, and talking about a lot of business matters, and then urging me to marry, in short, all kinds of trivial things , I was not happy to listen to these things before, they were all annoying, but now I seem very serious, listening to her nagging patiently, until she thought I was annoying and hung up the phone.

After I hung up the phone, I took a deep breath of the cold night air, I became more energetic, and then went to the street to hail a taxi.

It was already late at night, and there were very few taxis on the street. I waited for a long time before I got one.

The taxi stopped on the side of the road, the driver rolled down the window, yawned and asked, "Where are you going?"

I said go to Lugu (BB) Mountain.

The driver was taken aback and subconsciously stepped on the gas pedal.

I saw his expression of encountering a ghost, so I couldn't help laughing, I hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Don't be afraid, take a closer look, I am a living person."

The driver spoke in a Beijing accent and said, "Hey, Master, what are you doing, you're going to Lugu Mountain in the middle of the night?"

I said don't worry, on Lugu Mountain, all the buried people are upright, upright and masculine, and they can't trouble you.

The driver saw my upright look, so he let me into the car, and then walked forward, chatting with me, trying to find out my details, but I am also exhausted right now, how dare I talk to this capital city? Grandpa took issue with him, chatted for a few words, and then closed his eyes.

When I woke up, I was already at the place, and the brother there was patting me on the shoulder and urging me.

I paid the bill, got out of the car, wandered around Lugu Mountain for a while, and then groped inside.

At this moment, the sky is already bright.

The reason why I came to this place is not any other reason, but I remember that when I chatted with Xiao Qu before, he told me that he always heard the news that big people are buried in Lugu Mountain, and if he dies in the future, he can be buried there. It can be regarded as not coming to this world in vain, it is worth it.

Before I left the mountain, thinking about this incident, I talked with Wang Daming in front of the mountain gate, and he also agreed with me.

So here I am.

Lugu Mountain is what people often call BB Mountain. Most people can’t get in. I don’t know much about Feng Shui, and I’m afraid of being disturbed. So instead of being next to the cemetery, I found a small sunny slope and dug a hole. , to bury the ditty.

After I finished, I cut a wooden tombstone with my own hands and wrote five characters on it.

The tomb of Qu Wushan.

Touching the tombstone, I seemed to see that young man who killed Matt with a heartless smile on his face, smiling silly at me.

I tidied up my surroundings again, then patted the floating soil, and said in a low voice, "Go all the way."

Turn around and see you in the next life.
