There were several fires burning in the room. Zhang Zhuxun felt a little hot, so he took off his hat. 趶
The little brother just stared at his head for a few times, but there was no surprised expression on his face.
Zhang Zhuxun raised his hand and patted the slightly longer white hair, and said with a smile: "Aren't you curious?"
"I've seen it before." The younger brother said calmly, "You two look alike."
Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows, "Did he also have short white hair at that time? It seems that this gene was inherited from him."
The scene inside the pheromones was too blurry. He only saw the red tattoo on Zhang Menyu's face when the cap of his cloak fell off. He really didn't see clearly what his hair looked like.
.
The instant noodles were cooked quickly, and Balma was still squatting on the mushrooms in the corner, peeking over here from time to time.
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced at him and frightened him so much that he didn't dare to look again. He ignored him and took out disposable bowls and chopsticks to scoop noodles for himself and his brother, adding a braised duck leg for each of them. 趶
The two were chatting while eating, and Zhang Zhu asked the younger brother, "How did you find this place?"
The little brother ate the noodles slowly and only said two words, "blind man."
Zhang Zhuxun was a little surprised, "That guy came too?"
The little brother shook his head, "No, he paid for it."
Zhang Zhuxun immediately understood what the younger brother meant, "Does he still owe you money?"
The little brother nodded, put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating, and stood up to look at the body next to the fire on the other side.
There was a grunting sound from the corner of the room. Zhang Zhuxun raised his eyelids and glanced at Balma, took out a new pack of instant noodles from his backpack and threw it to him, asking, "Do you remember how to cook it?"
崶
Balma nodded in embarrassment. The tangy aroma in the air made him unable to stop salivating. Seeing that Zhang Zhuxun had also gone to the other side, he moved over cautiously.
While unpacking the instant noodles and putting them into the small iron basin, I listened carefully to the conversation between the two people.
"A man and a woman, both are Phoenix." Zhang Zhuo clicked his tongue, "It seems that they attach great importance to the person named Ma, and they actually sent two Phoenix at once."
Barma's hand froze. After living in this area for so many years, he had been able to see clearly at a glance what purpose the other party had in approaching him. He could feel that these two people had no obvious malice towards him.
, but the purpose is definitely not pure.
"How do you know my surname is Ma?" Balma asked.
Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows, "Is it difficult to detect? To be honest, your camouflage skills are really bad. You actually don't know how to hide yourself."
"Those vendors reject you so much, which means you are probably an outsider. After your Ma family moved to Nepal, your business was actually selling antiques." Hu
That thangka is an imitation painting. The prototype is the Great White Umbrella Covered Buddha Mandala painted by the Naga King of Nepal. The characters are the same, but the painting method is different. It has an obvious style of the Kadampa in the Himalayas of southern Tibet. Barma was silent for a few seconds and lowered his head, "No matter what purpose you have in finding me, I don't know. I have told you everything that needs to be said."
Zhang Zhuoxun and his younger brother looked at each other, "Did you misunderstand something?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Barma suddenly broke down and yelled, "Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do? I have told you everything I know, and my family has been ruined by you.
What else do you want?"
"Do you have to force me to death before you are willing to do it? Isn't that right?" Barma shouted hoarsely, standing up and about to hit the wall, "Okay, come on, kill me, you all will die. Once you die, you will be dead!" The little brother quickly picked up a piece of dry firewood that hadn't burned yet, threw it and hit him on the back of his knee.
Balma fell to his knees on the ground. The leg that had been hit was completely numb, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his back. He couldn't stand up for a long time, so he could only limp to the corner and wrap the felt around his body tightly.
The coat seems to bring him a sense of security. eh
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced at him indifferently and pointed to the two corpses of the Wang family on the ground, "Please understand first that these two are here to kill you, and we are here to save you." Barma stared blankly, obviously not believing it, "Don't you use such a trick enough?"
Zhang Zhuxun originally had no intention of poking someone's scar, but now it seems that he can't do it without poking someone's scar.
"I heard from those small traders that the reason why your family declined was because you offended a noble priest here?"
Balma trembled all over, obviously remembering some very bad memories.
When he raised his eyes, he found that Zhang Zhuxun was already standing in front of him. Bamar was startled and stepped back desperately with his hands clasped.
Zhang Chuxun was a little speechless. Wu Xie's face had always been quite friendly. When did it become so scary? People would be scared to see it. Wow
"Has your family really offended the nobles here? Or is this all a lie, and offending the nobles is just an excuse to deal with the Ma family?" Zhang Zhu asked tentatively.
Balma's whole body was tense, like a weak beast that had its claws removed and was curled up in a cage.
"I don't know...I really don't know..."
He was incoherent, and his spirit seemed to have been greatly tortured. He held his head in pain, "I really don't know anything, why do you just refuse to let me go..."
Seeing him like this, I couldn't ask anything for a while.
Zhang Zhuoxun sighed, put the noodles into a disposable bowl, filled the soup with it and brought it to him. He reminded him and ignored him.
The little brother dragged the two corpses to the corridor outside. The snow became heavier and heavier, and soon the corpses were covered from beginning to end. 趶
Zhang Zhuxun asked him while warming himself by the fire, "When did you arrive in Nepal? Did you find anything in this house?"
"Two days ago," the little brother said, "there was nothing strange on the surface of the house. There was a deep well in the backyard, and the water in it was frozen and couldn't go down."
When the Wang family was about to attack Barma outside, the younger brother suddenly jumped out of the window of the house.
"Okay." Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, "Let's go to the deep well to see the situation later."
"There's nothing in it." Barma suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Zhuoxun looked back at him. Perhaps because he ate some food from his hometown, Bama looked much better now.
"Even if there is something inside, they must have taken it away long ago." Barma continued. eh
"What did they do to you?" Zhang Zhuo opened his mouth and stabbed him directly.
Barma took a breath, paused for a long time, and then said slowly: "You two probably came here from China after reading my grandfather's memoirs."
Seeing Zhang Zhuoxun nodding, he continued: "Since you have read that memoir, you will naturally know that my Ma family was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time. In order to save my two sons, I gave up all my remaining property.
I went in, but it didn’t save my son’s life.”
"Because this is a trap and a scam they set up for my Ma family from the beginning."
Balma slowly recounted that memory, which must have been very painful for him, but he still told it, in a way similar to his last words.
Bamar's original name was Ma Chongshan, and he was the grandson of Ma Pingchuan.
At that time, Ma Pingchuan's youngest son moved his family to Nepal with the rest of his tribe in order to escape the curse-like death situation. 儶
The youngest son of the Ma family has a good business acumen, and coupled with his considerable wealth, he soon made progress in the upper class society here, and his family also completely started to engage in reselling antiques.
Although the system here is not suitable for business, it is a suitable transfer station. The Ma family quickly made a lot of money by transferring antiques from the mainland to other countries.
One year, Ma Chongshan went to the snowy area and got some antiques from Medog in southern Tibet. After that, the Brahmin priest sent an invitation to the Ma family as guests.
Due to business dealings, the Ma family has a relatively good relationship with this aristocratic priest, and Ma Chongshan's two sons are also very familiar with the priest's family.
But the Ma family never expected that this would be a Hongmen Banquet specially set up for them. It can even be said that from the moment they arrived in Nepal from the interior, they were already being targeted.<
/p>
While Ma Chongshan was busy doing big business with the Brahmin family, his two sons were deliberately induced by someone. One became addicted to cigarettes and the other became a gambler.
Ma Chongshan often traveled around the country and abroad without leaving home. When he knew it, it was already too late. Both of his sons were kidnapped and used as meat tickets, and the family property was also ruined. He could only seize the time to get the money in his hands.
A batch of antiques are sold, so that money can be used to redeem people. eh
Due to his eagerness to take action, and the fact that it was the Brahmin family who made the connection, and out of trust in his long-standing partners, Ma Chongshan fell into the trap so stupidly that not only did he fail to rescue his son, but he even took all his family property into it.
.
The antiques transferred abroad by Ma Chongshan were mixed in authenticity. Those foreigners bought these antiques just to show off their wealth. The work of identifying these antiques was done by the Brahmin family. The Brahmin family is the most noble noble in Nepal. From them,
Basically no one dares to doubt the authenticity of the goods coming out of the store.
But something went wrong this time, and it was a fatal problem. All the goods were confiscated. Not only did Ma Chongshan not get a penny, he almost got himself involved.
If he still doesn't realize that he is being plotted, then he can really pretend to be stupid.
But even if he noticed it, it was too late. He could only sell the remaining property to save himself, and then traveled to China with the last few copies of his family heirloom, planning to find someone to appraise it in exchange for some money to save his life. p>
In the end, those orphan copies were collected by Jin Wantang, who took the money back to Nepal to save people, while his wife and other family members stayed in the country.
In fact, Ma Chongshan knew very well that there was a high possibility that he would never come back this time, but he still went, and then the Brahmin family made excuses and was detained in prison. 趶
During the time he was in prison, people were interrogating him all the time. At first it was just mental torture. His two sons were tortured to death by those people in front of him. Later, those people tortured him to death.
He began to torture Ma Chongshan. It was not a severe punishment, but it was very destructive to his will.
Unfortunately, Ma Chongshan knew nothing about what they asked, so he finally had no choice but to reveal that when his father brought them to Nepal, when they were building a house, they specially built a deep well of the Sea Dragon King in the rear yard, which was said to be used to draw dragon energy into the house.
Used.
Ma Chongshan didn't know what they did, but a month later, he was released from the dark cell after almost going crazy.
He wandered around pretending to be crazy and foolish for a while. After those people gave up their suspicion and completely gave up tracking him, he immediately changed his name and tried to find a way to escape.
But without money and identity, he struggled here and had no way to return to China. In the end, he had to live in a joint and became a tramp buying antiques.
Until tonight when he returned to the basement, Ma Chongshan found that the lock hanging on the iron door had been moved.
His past experiences have made his character extremely cautious, and he can immediately detect any trouble. 趶
When Zhang Zhuxun showed up at his stall to inquire, he had already become suspicious, so when he found that the dust on the door lock had been wiped off, he immediately understood that those people from back then were looking for him again. Because the door lock is just a decoration, the iron door in the basement can be opened directly by pushing hard with your hand.
The landlord, a strong man, knew that the door lock was broken. Every time someone came to see him, he would kick it open. Then he would stand at the door with his nose covered and curse Ma Chongshan inside. There was no way the landlord would condescend and bend down to enter a short, cold place.
of the basement.
Only an unfamiliar stranger will pick the door lock when he sees it, but this will also leave traces on the lock. In order to avoid suspicion, he will naturally wipe off the dust, but his whereabouts will be exposed.<
/p>
After listening to Ma Chongshan's story, Zhang Zhuxun pondered for a few seconds and asked him, "Did your Ma family bring anything out of that scorpion tomb?"
Ma Chongshan shook his head, "Those are the things of the previous two generations, I don't know."
"When the Ma family left Ma'an in a hurry, what was the surname of the person who bought the original address of Ma's house? Do you know this?" Zhang Zhuxun asked again. eh
Ma Chongshan wrinkled his face and thought carefully for a long time, and finally dug out some information from the nooks and crannies of his childhood memories, "When I was young, I heard my father mention it. It was said that he was a rich kid who came back from studying abroad in Tokyo. It seemed... it seemed like...
, surnamed Wang."
Zhang Zhuoxun was relieved, and there was no surprise in the little brother's expression. He had obviously guessed it a long time ago.
Zhang Zhuxun pointed at the body under the snow outside the porch and said to Ma Chongshan: "Then do you know the last names of the two people who wanted to kill you before?"
Ma Chongshan was stunned for a moment. He heard something from Zhang Zhuxun's words, and his eyes widened, "You mean, their surname is also Wang!"
His expression suddenly became excited, he covered his heart and said anxiously: "Did those people back then also have the surname Wang! The methods they used to interrogate me in prison were not what Nepalese nobles usually used, so they are also Han!" p>
"Why are they doing this? What grudges does my Ma family have against them?" Ma Chongshan murmured, seeming to be showing signs of collapse again.
"All these things are related to the scorpion tomb that your Ma family discovered under the tomb."
Zhang Zhuoxun left this sentence behind, looked at the darkening sky outside, and whispered to his brother: "Let's go see the well again tomorrow morning, don't be in a hurry."
The little brother nodded. Although I don’t know how deep the well is, the turbid water inside has frozen into ice under the severe cold that has accumulated over time. It is not easy to go down.
Zhang Zhuxun asked his brother to stay in the house and watch Ma Chongshan while he went to the backyard to collect more firewood and prepared to spend the night in the Ma family's house tonight.
