Gu Nian was frightened by the old man's eyes and was a little overwhelmed. He was about to hide behind Lu Zhan, but maybe he remembered Lu Zhan's ferocious look when he just held the knife, so he hurriedly shrank behind Bai Mo.
Lu Zhan was always worried that Bai Mo would be stimulated and he might not get what he wanted, so under the pressure of his eyes, Gu Nian had to hide behind Xia Yuxi again.
Xia Yuxi didn't say much, but quickly moved away, exposing the latter to the old man's sight.
Gu Nian cursed loudly in his heart, but he had to face the old man face to face, and said with a smile: "Boss...Hello, sir, my name is Gu Nian."
The old man wiped his crutch silently, and suddenly a blood-stained silver watch slipped out of his sleeve and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Gu Nian looked down and the smile on his face instantly froze.
Isn't this the watch of that fat man Deng Daxing? It is said to be quite expensive. That guy has always regarded it as a treasure. How could it be in the hands of this old man? And it's still stained with blood...
etc……
As if thinking of something, Gu Nian swallowed suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "The little ant you are talking about...can't...can't be a fat man?"
Fatty Deng is his companion who can walk through walls.
However, he regretted it after saying this, because the old man's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at him: "Yes, he is indeed a fat man. Why... do you have any objections?"
"No, no." Gu's skin went numb and he quickly defended, "I was just thinking that with that guy's size, he must be at least a big ant, right? A fat ant would do..."
His voice became smaller and smaller.
Seeing how cowardly this guy was, Lu Zhan couldn't stand it anymore. He first glanced at Bai Mo, who was unresponsive next to him, and then looked at the old man: "Uncle, what did you say you just did?"
"Catch ants."
The old man wiped his crutches, turned his one eye, and glanced at him. A cold breath came over him, "Do you have any questions?"
Lu Zhan's heart sank.
Listening to what this old guy meant, he really went to kill someone just now...
Is the reason why you didn't take action against us because of Bai Mo's presence or some other reason?
He didn't know the old man's purpose, but he never let down his guard against him. Now it seems that this guy has no intention of hiding anything...
"No problem, I just think that if you are still catching ants at an old age, you really still have a childlike innocence."
After careful consideration, he did not intend to take action against the old man.
"I said uncle..."
The air became extremely dull. Suddenly, Bai Mo, who had been lowering his head and thinking, said, "Do you know where the door here is?"
"Door?" The old man pointed to the tattered wooden door outside the hut expressionlessly, and said indifferently, "Isn't this just the door? If you don't like it, there are many more outside."
Bai Mo shook his head and said seriously: "That's not what I'm talking about. It's four doors connected together with patterns carved on them."
When the old man heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Why, why do you know the news about the door?"
This was the first time he had become so out of control.
"You have to ask him about that." Bai Mo shrugged.
The old man looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Gu Nian, who was about to sneak away, looking at him with a sneer on his face, and was trembling at the look in his eyes.
"Your ability is to pretend to be dead, but you are also a rare talent..."
The old man sneered and looked at him deeply, "Tell me, where did you see the door?"
"I...I don't remember..."
"Oh?" The old man used crutches to pick up the watch on the ground in front of the young man, and said as if to himself, "That little ant told me before he was buried that he wanted to find a companion who would live and die together.
It should be you, right?"
"It's not me!" Gu Nian shook his head crazily and said hurriedly, "We are sworn enemies!"
He was filled with righteous indignation, and as he spoke, he knelt down and put the expensive watch into his pocket.
Lu Zhan: "..."
Xia Yuxi: "..."
This guy is a fucking talent!
The old man snorted coldly and was about to lift his crutch, but after some thought he didn't do it.
He said calmly: "You'd better recall it as soon as possible. If you ask me to help you recall it, it won't be that pleasant."
Gu Nian's face looked bitter, I can't even remember it! If I could remember it, I would have left a long time ago!
At this moment, Lu Zhan said: "What exactly is the door?"
He had long noticed that since hearing the news about the door, Bai Mo had behaved very abnormally, sitting next to the coffin and almost saying nothing.
The old man, who had never been interested in anything, was obviously very concerned about the news coming from the other side.
This all illustrates the special nature of the door.
The old man didn't even look at him and didn't answer.
Xia Yuxi looked at Lu Zhan, thought for a while and whispered in his ear: "I have a way to find the door."
"You mean...read Gu Nian's heart?" Lu Zhan instantly guessed what she was thinking.
"Yes." Xia Yuxi said calmly, "If he really came from the door, reading his heart is similar to reading a map. I can find the location of the door."
"This is a good idea."
Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, the old man obviously still heard it. He even smiled and urged, "Hurry up and do it."
Perhaps in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, he said in a bewitching tone: "You can come in through the door, and of course you can go out through the door..."
go out?
Gu Nian looked confused. He didn't hear anything, but he was obviously aware that something bad was going to happen, and he was very worried for a moment.
However, Lu Zhan couldn't believe the old man's words easily. He fiddled with the ice carving knife in his hand and said with a smile: "In my opinion, reading your heart may be more valuable."
"Ha, it is indeed a good idea, but..." the old man's voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you know the price of peering into the abyss?"
Lu Zhan was unmoved: "Why do you make us believe you?"
"If you have a better way to leave, you don't have to believe me."
Lu Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "You must first tell me, where is this place and what is the door?"
He could see that Bai Mo had fallen into some strange state of confusion.
The old man also glanced at Bai Mo calmly and replied: "I can't tell you what the door is, but I can tell you where this is..."
"Its name has long been unknown, but we generally call it - the coffin burial ground."
"us?"
"Of course it's us." The old man said calmly, "I have said before that this place is reserved for the dead in the coffin, but once the dead climb out of the coffin, they can live for a short time."
"There are many people who can climb out of the coffin, but I may be the only one who can survive to this day."
