It was already late at night when we left Tianmen Village.
Originally, after telling Uncle Hu that their tomb had been solved, I planned to leave with Liu Shan, because Liu Shan also told me that the iron knot had been repaired.
But Uncle Hu tried his best to persuade me to stay, insisting that I stay for a meal, so we stayed until late at night. It was because Liu Shan was thinking about his son that Uncle Hu let us leave.
But I never told them the truth about the tomb.
Uncle Tiger didn't ask either.
For them, it seems that as long as their village is safe and there will be no more zombies, that is enough.
And they didn't care what I got in the tomb.
Sitting in the iron knot, Liu Shan still looked scared.
While driving the iron bumper, he blamed me with worry and said, "Don't be so impulsive next time."
"I know you have some abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us, but those are zombies."
"And that tomb, they said, if you go in, people will die."
I smiled and said, "I'm not fine."
Liu Shan sighed and said: "Anyway, don't do this again."
"My son is still waiting for you. If there is anything wrong with you..."
Liu Shan did not continue what he said, but I also knew what he was talking about, and I just felt a little warm in my heart.
Although I also have some doubts about Liu Shan, after all, my ability to come to Tianmen Village has a lot to do with Liu Shan, and he was the first person I met after coming out of Fenling Village.
I really don't believe it is a coincidence.
But apart from this, I can also feel that Liu Shan's concern for me should be sincere.
Therefore, I was not tired of Liu Shan's accusation. After he finished speaking, I said, "I understand, and I will pay attention to it in the future."
Only then did Liu Shan's face look more satisfied, and then he said: "You should be tired too, so just take a good rest."
"We'll drive all night tonight, and we'll be in the city early tomorrow morning."
I smiled and nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about Dragon Burial Village?"
"Buried Dragon Village?" Liu Shan said with some confusion, "I don't know."
"What about Zhongdong Gu Village?" I asked again.
Liu Shan shook his head slightly.
I was a little disappointed and asked again: "Where is Badong Village?"
Liu Shan still shook his head, then looked at me strangely and said, "What are you doing in these places?"
I said: "I came out this time just because I wanted to visit these places."
"What did the old gentleman tell me?" Liu Shan asked.
The old gentleman he refers to is naturally an old smoker.
I nodded slightly without denying it.
Liu Shan thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of any of these places."
"But I can check it for you when we get to the city."
Hearing what Liu Shan said, I didn't ask any more questions. I thought it wouldn't be too late to wait until I got to the city and went to Liu Shan's house before looking for those places. If Liu Shan could really find a place for me, then of course I would.
More trouble-free.
I leaned on the seat and fell asleep soon.
Maybe it was because my body was really exhausted, and because I had drained a lot of blood into that tomb, as soon as I relaxed, my exhaustion completely broke out.
I slept very deeply this night.
It was already dawn when I woke up.
It was Liu Shan who woke me up.
The scene in front of me also changed from mountain villages and woods to some red brick houses that were different from what I had in mind, and there were people everywhere, including some like the iron knots opened by Liu Shan.
There are also some people pulling something like a sedan, running fast on the road, which is very special.
Seeing that I woke up, Liu Shan told me that this place is called Baiyun City, and it is the only town nearby, and his home is also here.
This is also my first time in the city.
It was completely different from the village in my impression. It was so lively that I felt a little uncomfortable for a while. Especially when I saw those people pulling something like a sedan, I instinctively wanted to avoid it.
Liu Shan told me that it was called a rickshaw.
He also began to patiently tell me some things about the city. It wasn't until Tie Geda stopped in front of a building that Liu Shan stopped talking.
With Liu Shan's introduction, I also gained some understanding of Baiyun City.
The place where I live is almost two completely different worlds from here. In Liu Shan's words, I am just a villager from the countryside and have never seen the world.
Like those rickshaws and iron bumps, you can see them everywhere in the city, but they are strange only in the countryside.
I didn't refute this because I knew what he said was right.
But for me, this is not important. What I care about is where those villages are.
So after entering the room, when Liu Shan continued to introduce Baiyun City to me enthusiastically, I interrupted him and said, "Didn't you say you could check those places for me?"
Liu Shan patted his head and said with a smile: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten."
"I'll check it out for you in a minute."
"But I have to pick up my son first."
"He must be very happy when he knows you are here."
Then Liu Shan told me to take a stroll and left the house in a hurry.
I originally had no interest in Liu Shan's home.
I just don’t know why, but after Liu Shan left, maybe because of boredom, I actually started wandering around there by some strange coincidence, and it didn’t take long for a photo of Liu Shan’s home to attract my attention.
There are only two people in the photo.
One is Liu Shan.
One is an infant child.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this photo, but after taking a closer look, I found that in the vacant part on the left side of Liu Shan, his hand was making a strange gesture.
I followed and gestured, as if I was hugging something.
At first I thought it was because I was dazzled, but after looking at it several times, I determined that it wasn't me who was dazzled, but that there was something wrong with the photo, or that there was something wrong with the blank part.
While I was watching intently, Liu Shan came back with a child in his arms, who was his son.
As expected, his son rushed towards me as soon as he saw me. He was not at all unfamiliar with me when I first met him, and he was very kind to me.
After I held him in my arms, I quickly understood.
What Liu Shan said is indeed not a lie, but the reason why his son misses me is because of the relationship between his soul and me.
Regarding this point, I wasn't quite sure at first, I just had some guesses. It wasn't until I saw his son holding his son's hand in his arms that I became convinced.
Because that thin line appeared again when I saw him.
And when I held him, I could clearly feel his mood swings.
This feeling is so amazing that even I can't describe it.
