Chapter 45: The Past

He Jianqiang seemed to know what I was thinking. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what is in this, but I know that this is the hope of our He family."

At this time, He Xiaoqiang was also aroused and asked anxiously: "Dad, what is going on?"

He Jianqiang said: "To change the fate of the He family, we can only find what's inside the box."

He Xiaoqiang remained silent. I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Then, how do you know that this thing can change the fate of your He family? You must know that no one in your family has been able to do this for hundreds of years.

I don't think you are any better than your ancestors. Besides, I'm very curious, how did you find this place?"

These words are quite rude, but people are dying at this time. Even if they are not suffocated to death, they will die of hunger and thirst sooner or later. How can I care so much? I will say whatever I want naturally, even if they kill me

Beating him to death is just a death. Everyone dies sooner or later. Why should I be as scared to death as before? More importantly, I want to know what he said when he first met me: "Why did you come from above?"

What does "come down" mean? What does the ancestor of the He family always emphasize "don't look at that face" mean? I want to know where the cemetery is.

Perhaps because my words were serious, He Xiaoqiang suddenly stood up and stared at me without saying a word, his face extremely ugly. At this time, I was naturally not afraid of anything anymore, and I was just about to say something sarcastic to him.

, He Jianqiang waved his hand and said: "It's okay. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it in the future. People are going to die, so what do they care about."

When He Xiaoqiang sat down again with an unconvinced expression, He Qiangqiang said, "This matter has something to do with her."

I said "Ah", not knowing who He Jianqiang was talking about, but He Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment and then suddenly became excited and said, "Is it...her?"

I said this carefully, as if I wasn't sure. I didn't know whether it was "he" or "she" or even "it". I became a little impatient and couldn't help but say, "Who is this?"

He Xiaoqiang glared at me and said, "It's not my mother-in-law, it's my mother."

Only then did I realize that the "she" they were referring to was Tan Lei. I had a good impression of her, so I smiled sheepishly and apologized. He Xiaoqiang stopped caring about it and He Jianqiang continued.

Said: "I met her accidentally, and we fell in love at first sight. But because of the curse left by the He family, everyone had to face the mysterious jade pendant, so I never dared to get too close to her."

Listening to He Jianqiang recounting the past events between him and Tan Lei, I suddenly felt something in my heart. I thought, how could Tan Lei fall in love with a rude man like He Jianqiang, who has no culture and no money, and it was such a coincidence?

We met by chance and fell in love at first sight. I really thought we were filming a movie. Could it be that this was a concealment from the beginning? Tan Lei had her own purpose in approaching He Jianqiang, but I also know that Tan Lei has only one goal, which is to find

The Shroud of Jesus, if my analysis is correct, could it be that the ancient tomb discovered by He Jianqiang’s ancestors is related to the Shroud of Jesus? The only thing that is truly valuable about the He family is this secret. I don’t believe them.

There will really be some love happening between them.

He Xiaoqiang is still telling every detail of the relationship between him and Tan Lei. In my opinion, this is completely useless nonsense, but his face is full of gentleness and he is completely immersed in memories. He Xiaoqiang is also listening.

They were enjoying themselves. I originally wanted to interrupt them, but seeing their looks, I finally sighed secretly and held back. Compared with me, they are at least people with memories, which is already very happy.

It's over.

Finally, He Jianqiang finished telling the sweet past events between the two and started to get to the point: "I have always refused to marry her. She asked hard why. Of course, I can't tell her all this. This is our He family.

It’s a secret that can’t be told to anyone, but she told me that she was pregnant and said that she would commit suicide if I didn’t marry her.”

I thought to myself that Tan Lei, the secret agent of the Vatican, really had some tricks up her sleeve. She actually knew the three most common killer moves for Chinese women: cry, make trouble, and hang herself. Moreover, she also played the emotional card. No wonder He Jianqiang still misses her after so many years.

At this time, He Jianqiang continued: "Later, I had no choice but to deal with her and finally agreed to her, but before that, I violated the ancestral precepts and told her the curse of the He family, and then let her choose whether to be with me.

Then she disappeared inexplicably, and we have been separated from me ever since. She said without thinking that she must be with me, but she made a request, that is, I must take her to see the ancient tomb.

I rejected her without hesitation, because although I don't know why every generation of the He family disappears, I know that anyone who has been to the ancient tomb will eventually get into trouble. It is definitely not a place you can go to easily.

For her safety, I flatly rejected her.

But she kept begging me for several days, saying she wanted to take a look, so that she might be able to find a way to free the He family from this curse. She said everything was for the sake of her children, and she couldn't let them be like me in the future.

Her words touched me, and finally I took her to the tomb."

I couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Where is the tomb?"

He Jianqiang seemed to be completely immersed in her own memories. She ignored my questions and just continued talking to herself: "When she got there, she just took a rough look at the stone machine, and then stared closely at it.

Looking at the paintings on the stone wall of the tomb, I don’t know what she found, but my ancestors once left a message saying that they must not look at that face, so every time I deliberately controlled my eyes and refused to look at the murals.

Before entering the tomb, I reminded her again and again, but she still refused to listen to me and kept her eyes fixed on the mural.

I was startled and instinctively raised my head to look at the mural, but then she suddenly screamed, "Don't look at that face!" Her voice was full of fear, as if she had seen something terrible.

If it were normal times, I would never raise my head to look at the face of the person on the mural, but at that time I couldn't care about anything. I just wanted to know what made her so scared, so I raised my head without hesitation.

He turned his head and stared closely at the face of the person on the mural."

My heart beat violently and I said, "What did you see?"

In my heart, I have vaguely guessed the result. What He Jianqiang saw should be the same face as mine. Only in this way can I explain why he said those words in the first place, but I have been unwilling to give up and listen to him.

Just say it yourself.

He Jianqiang looked at me, shook his head and said, "That person has no face."

I was stunned for a moment. This answer was unexpected. Since he had no face, why did he say not to look at his face? Then I immediately remembered the man wearing a silver mask that Xiao Rui and I saw in Fengmen Village.

The figure in the mural also has no face, but the outline of the mask on his face is very consistent with mine. I don’t know if there is any connection between the two.

I couldn't help but curse: "You're so scared when you don't have a face, are you pretending to be a ghost again?"

He Xiaoqiang's expression changed, and he probably wanted to get angry again. He Xiaoqiang shook his head and said: "I was also stunned at the time. My thoughts were exactly the same as yours, so I couldn't help but look at the painting a few more times, but she seemed to

She screamed as if she'd seen a ghost. I didn't know why she was so scared, but just when I wanted to turn my head to look at her, I found that the painting began to change."

"What change?" I asked impatiently.

He Xiaoqiang said slowly: "Obviously that face is still blank, but I don't know why, at that moment when I scolded me, I felt that the face gradually began to become plumper, as if a person's facial features were slowly emerging.

, and this is not a simple painting, it feels very real, like, like that face is a mirror, so what you see in the mirror is extremely realistic."

"Mirror?" I thought. Mirrors seem to exist in so many places I have experienced. Whether it is Fengmen Village or Fengmen Village, even in No. 73, I still see the Erliang Mirror.

, now I naturally no longer doubt that there is a connection between them that I am currently unaware of, so I immediately asked: "Whose face is that?"

"Mine." He Jianqiang said with a bitter smile: "I saw my face, so I said it was a mirror, but that face was exactly the same as mine, but it felt very strange, as if I was looking at another person like me.

Like a very similar person.

I looked at him blankly, and he looked at me, but my expression was one of shock, but he suddenly smiled at me. I was so frightened by this sudden smile that I screamed, and then the face gradually faded.

It faded away again, as if it had never appeared before, and I even began to wonder if this was my hallucination.

After I screamed, I suddenly woke up and realized that I had no longer heard her voice. I was so frightened that I almost flew away. Fortunately, when I turned around to look for her, I found that she was behind me, facing me.

On the stone wall on that side, I didn’t know where I found the charcoal pen, and I was drawing pictures on the stone wall without saying a word. I thought she was possessed by evil spirits, so I hurriedly called her name loudly, and even painted some pictures on it.

I took out the treasured Taoist talismans and prepared to exorcise demons.

At this time, she suddenly stopped the pen in her hand, turned around and said, "You must find this person in the future." Because I was worried about her safety, I didn't pay attention to what she drew just now. Then I heard her say

, only to realize that what she drew was that of a young man.”

He Jianqiang looked at me and said, "It's you."
