Li An first arranged a room for us to take a shower, and then went to prepare dinner for us.
This is a small hotel, but it is very neat and tidy. It is just organized and feels like home. Most big hotels focus on luxury, but small hotels like this pay more attention to the feeling of family warmth.
There were quite a lot of people staying in the small hotel, but most of them seemed to be people who were not very wealthy. They walked in small groups in the corridor, talking and laughing. When they saw us, they nodded and smiled at us enthusiastically.
.
This makes me feel a kind of human touch. As the business grows, it is often a matter of intrigues to make money. It is really rare for people like these people to see strangers smiling.
For people like me in my profession, or my grandfather's profession, as long as we make more money, people seem to become hypocritical. At the beginning, people are inherently good, but often later on, our
The only thing left in our minds is the word money. The line between good and evil has long since been removed. Who knows what is good and what is evil? What we care most about is how to make more money and how to make more money.
Have a good bargain.
Man is an insatiable animal. The more a person has, the less satisfied he will be. Now that I look back and think about it, I am such a person.
I just regret it. In the past, I tried to make as much money as possible and live a good life.
Only now do I realize how precious life is. Money doesn’t matter more or less, as long as it’s enough to live a happy life. Living happily is more important than anything else.
When I find that I can no longer have a pure smile on my face, I look at those people who live in poverty but smile from the bottom of their hearts, and I feel extremely envious in my heart.
I think that one day, if I can really live a simple life like that, I don’t need to make much money, and I don’t need to be very curious. I just want to live happily and laugh.
I don’t remember how long it has been since I smiled sincerely. Now I don’t touch the corner of my mouth. It’s either perfunctory, coping or pretending. You can laugh when you are happy, and you can laugh when you are sad. You laugh all the time, but that smile is just
The stiff skin and flesh are pulled together and controlled by consciousness, but it is not due to the little voice coming out of the heart for no reason.
It's just that I don't know if there will ever be a day when I can really laugh out loud. I already have no confidence in my heart.
The steam rising in the bathroom was so humid and hot that it made the whole bathroom feel hazy.
Since I discovered the loneliness in my heart, I found that even in summer, I am used to taking a bath with warm water. It seems that only the moment I am washed by the warm water, I will not feel so lonely.
In the mirror, I still look the same. My hair is a little longer, my face is a little thinner, and my body is also a little thinner. It seems that I have been tortured these days.
I was never a fat person, but now I look thinner.
The dragon on the shoulder is still there, with its head half raised, as if it wants to look at me.
I lowered my head and took a look. In fact, I also thought about why I should be afraid of this dragon. It has never done anything to me, so why should I be afraid of it.
It is something that is innate to me. Although I don’t know why, it seems to move, but it can be regarded as the thing that has been with me the longest in these many years.
I reached out and gently touched the dragon on my shoulder. I don’t know when it started to change its posture automatically, but every time I looked over, it was just a dead thing, like a dead thing.
A painting, like a tattoo, was quietly carved on my shoulder.
I really don’t want to turn around and see what’s going on behind me. Compared to the dragon, I’m more afraid of the weird scales on my back. I think even if the dragon really comes back to life and flies away from my body
Going out, I just think this is like a fantasy. I should be very happy in my heart and no longer worry about the white dragon. I may also feel a little lonely after the dragon flies away. After all, it is something that has been with me for many years, but
I don't think I will be scared to death.
And if the scales on my back cover my whole body, then I think I really don’t have the courage to live.
Even if I am not handsome to begin with, I am afraid that one day I will become uglier. Ugliness is something that everyone fears, and what is more terrifying than ugliness is this unknown monster.
I mustered up the courage to turn around, twisted my neck and looked at the scales on my back. There were a few more scales, and they had begun to spread on my back. Originally they were just scales the size of the palm of my hand, but now they were like a slap.
So big.
I really wanted to scrape off the scales, but with one cut, not a single scale would come off except for me fainting from the pain. Those scales seemed to grow from my bone marrow and were indestructible.
Dong dong dong——
I was awakened by a knock on the door.
Mo Yibai's voice came from outside, "Are you ready?"
"Oh, okay!" I replied.
Mo Yibai shared a room with me. Hua Bubai would rather sleep in the same room with my grandfather than sleep in the same room with Mo Yibai, and Mo Yibai refused to sleep in the same room with my grandfather. In the end, I had to sleep with
Mo Yibai slept in the same room.
I don't have any problem with who I sleep with in the same room. They are all men and there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, there are two beds in the room.
When I was at home before, I didn't sleep on the same bed as Mo Yibai.
In fact, it's good to sleep in the same room with Mo Yibai. Apart from being bored, it's very quiet and no one will disturb you when you're thinking about something. And even if you want to say something about something, he doesn't care whether he hears it or not.
Let me tell you.
After I went out, Mo Yibai looked at me and asked me if I was okay.
Mo Yibai remembered that I went crazy in the Exorcism Pavilion, so he was worried about me.
"I'm fine." I said with a smile, "Don't worry, Old Master Long's grandson is not that fragile, he will do it despite the pressure."
"..." Mo Yibai glanced at me without saying anything, took his clothes and entered the bathroom.
Li An is quite meticulous. After preparing dinner, he did not forget to come up personally and call us one by one to come down to eat.
As we were walking, Li An also told us that he was preparing meals from the hotel next door. Seeing that we all seemed to be rich, I didn’t know if we were used to eating.
Hua Bubai thought Li An was very funny, so he kept teasing Li An, asking him how he could tell that we were rich people, and what kind of food rich people grew up on.
As a result, Li An was blushing and speechless. He just said he looked like it.
Li An's dinner was very rich, and we really had a great meal.
We have been running around these days, living a life like an escape. Of course, it is a much better life than a real escape, but it also makes us unable to eat well and sleep well, which makes it difficult to bear.
We didn't eat well today, so we ate very happily. We didn't even drink the wine Li An brought us. We just ate as hard as we could.
In the past, I was always wasting food. I ate this and thought about that. I thought this was not delicious and that was unpalatable. Now I have no choice but to eat everything when I am hungry.
Li An was dumbfounded when he saw us eating. I guess Professor Li also told him our basic situation, so he was not surprised.
Hua Bubai smiled and said to Li An: "The way rich people eat is a little different from what you imagined."
Li An smiled a little cautiously and was noncommittal.
After eating, my grandfather asked Li An for his cell phone and made a few calls.
"Prepare two helicopters for me. Yes, wait for me at the northern suburbs of City H tomorrow morning. I will also have my usual equipment. Prepare a few more for me!"
I looked at my grandpa, and I really didn’t know who he was calling. I’ve seen my grandpa’s ability to make waves. The last time I came out alive from the tomb was thanks to the helicopter he called for, but I didn’t know.
Whoever Grandpa talks to on the phone can get these things done with just one phone call.
After finishing the phone call, grandpa said to us: "It's all done. Go to bed early tonight. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
Then a group of us went back to the room to rest.
After returning to the room, I always felt a little uneasy. I turned sideways and looked at Mo Yibai, who was half sitting and wondering what he was thinking, and asked, "Do you think Professor Li can successfully find the other tombs through that tomb?"
Mo Yibai glanced at me and said nothing.
"Even if Professor Li really finds those tombs, can we successfully find the final immortal tomb through those seven tombs?" I thought about the first tomb we went to, we almost escaped death, especially me,
It's true that several lives were almost lost in it.
I don’t know if I’m too fragile, or I’m really not capable enough, or I’m just too unlucky. In that tomb, I encountered everything that could happen to me. My head was hit by a brick, I was eaten by a rat, and I was eaten by a spider.
I was bitten, fell into the water, and was bitten by a four-legged snake. Thinking of the four-legged snake that looked like a human hand and had three heads, it really creeped me out. I really don’t know why there were so many monsters in that place.
Could it be that it is the legendary pet of the Dragon God? It is too weird.
Mo Yibai didn't seem to hear me and looked at the ceiling silently. I followed his gaze and glanced at the ceiling. I really didn't know what he was looking at. The ceiling was just white. The decoration of this small hotel was relatively simple.
, I didn’t put anything good-looking up there, there was just a bare lamp in the middle, which was very simple.
I really want to tell Mo Yibai, please give me a squeak, but I doubt that Mo Yibai will really squeak.
After a long time, just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, Mo Yibai spoke: "I was the one who got you involved in this matter."
I think I understood it in a daze while sleeping, but I didn't hear it clearly, so I replied casually: "It doesn't matter who it is, even if you didn't grab the bag, I would still do it... Speaking of which, I have
I haven't told you that the Lord of Hell is no longer chasing me, but he negotiated a condition with me. If I want to survive, I have to get something for him. He said that the thing he wanted to get would be at the tomb of the immortal we were looking for.
