Li Muchen suddenly realized that he looked familiar. It turned out that there was such a fate.
I definitely don’t remember it. Who remembers things that happened when I was less than three years old?
Even if Mashan and Dingxiang grew up together, their memories are mainly concentrated after the age of five, and many of them are fragmented.
"I went to look for you later, but you were no longer there by that time. They said that your grandfather and grandson were dead. I didn't expect to meet you in Jiancheng. When I heard your name and looked at your features, I
It must be you." Jiao Shiniang looked at Li Muchen and said.
Suddenly, Li Muchen also felt friendly.
All his impressions of the world began in that garbage compound until his grandfather passed away when he was seven years old.
Therefore, he feels particularly close to anyone he has known during those years. That is why he regards Mashan as his brother and Dingxiang as his sister.
Unexpectedly, there is another sister here.
Although the memory is so fuzzy that no trace can be found except for a hint of familiarity, the kindness still lingers in my heart, making people feel warm.
Since there is such a fate, the affairs of the Jiao family cannot be ignored.
"Sister," Li Muchen naturally changed his name to the same name as when he was a child.
Jiao Shiniang felt a little unnatural. She blushed and said, "Let's call her Shiniang. You are now Mr. Li, the immortal Li who is respected by all three provinces. How can I bear to call me sister?"
Li Muchen smiled and said: "Why do the three provinces share the same respect? As long as I recognize you as my sister, even if I am the leader of the Chinese Alliance, you will also be my sister."
Jiao Shiniang was happy and moved, and said: "You recognize me as sister, but I can't call you brother. I still have to call you Mr. Li."
Li Muchen also insisted, saying: "Sister, your father's soul should be underground here, but the entrance to the underground palace has been vandalized, and it can't go down now."
"Or, just dig up the grave." Jiao Shiniang said.
"Shi Niang, you have to think carefully." Liao Tianxing said, "If you move the grave without the consent of the clan, you will become a sinner of the family."
"I can't care about that much anymore. It's important to save my father's life first. Only when he is saved can the truth be revealed." Jiao Shiniang gritted her teeth and said, "I will take responsibility for any crime. Even if I have to impose family law, I will admit it."
Yes. But if I find out that my father was murdered..."
There was a bit of fierceness in her eyes.
Li Muchen couldn't help but admire this woman's courage and determination.
He didn't know it before, but after experiencing some of the recent events in the Lin family and several other families, he could see clearly the internal complexity of these large families.
It is quite uncomfortable for a woman whose father has been lying in bed half-dead for more than two years. She has to insist on seeking medical treatment for her father while at the same time managing the family business, maintaining a balance in the various struggles of the family, and ensuring that the family remains together.
easy.
"Wait a little longer." Li Muchen said, "The amount of work required to excavate the underground palace is not small, and I accidentally touched a mechanism or something, destroying the formation below, and my father's soul was dispersed."
"What should we do?" Jiao Shiniang asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, wait, there will be other solutions." Li Muchen said.
At this time, people sent out one after another came back to report the caves found in nearby mountain streams.
But most of them, when Li Muchen heard it, he knew that he didn't need to look at them. They were just ordinary cave crevices.
Only one person said that there is a rift valley near Guojia Village behind the mountain. There is a small waterfall in the rift valley, and there is a Yinlong Pool under the waterfall.
People in Guojia Village said that there were dragons in the pond. In the past, the older generation still had the custom of going to Yinlong Pond to offer sacrifices.
Li Muchen felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it.
According to the direction given by the visitor, he climbed up and looked at the direction of the mountains and terrain, and then said, "Come on, let's go take a look."
We first arrived at Guojia Village and found an old man in the village named Guo Yunlong.
This name is quite appropriate.
"You are engaged in live broadcast of outdoor exploration, right?"
The old man looked very familiar and talked about a lot of Internet hot words, many of which Li Muchen had never heard of.
"Young man, just take pictures inside the Rift Valley, but don't go down to the Yinlong Pond. Last time, a few young people, who were also engaged in live broadcasting, came here to explore, got down to the Yinlong Pond, and never came up again."
"Didn't you go down to look for it?"
"Looking for it, the fire brigade came, and the rope was stretched for hundreds of meters. After struggling for several days, we still couldn't find the person." The old man shook his head, "I see, the person was eaten by the Yin Dragon. But.
People nowadays don’t believe this.”
"Take us to see it." Li Muchen said.
"I said, young man, why are you so stubborn?" The old man rolled his eyes and looked at him.
Jiao Shiniang smiled, took out two hundred yuan from her bag, and said to the old man: "Mr. Guo, let's go and take a look."
Guo Yunlong smiled happily: "Hey, just take a look, safety is the first priority, isn't it? This girl is so sensible!"
As he said that, he led the way into the mountains and came to a rift valley.
Guo Yunlong pointed to the rift valley and said: "Just down here, walk forward for a while and you will see a small waterfall. Below the waterfall is Yinlongtan. The temperature is very low there, it's very cold. If you don't wear enough clothes, be careful of catching a cold.
"
Entering the Rift Valley, sure enough, the temperature dropped suddenly, and it was like a completely different world from the outside.
There is no road inside, it is full of rocks and rugged terrain.
This place doesn't have any good scenery and no development value. No wonder no one comes.
According to old man Guo Yunlong, in the past, only people who collected herbs would come here. Nowadays, a few small internet celebrities come here occasionally to do live broadcasts, but after the last incident, no one came here anymore.
"There really is a dragon in that pool!" Guo Yunlong said, "Some of the elders in our village have seen it, it's true."
"Your elder? What's the matter of years?" Jiao Shiniang said.
"Then I'm not sure. It must have been seventy or eighty years." Guo Yunlong said.
"Has anyone seen you since then?"
"I haven't heard of it since then, but people have disappeared. It is said that they were eaten by dragons. So every year we go to the Rift Valley to offer sacrifices. People from several villages work together to drive a pig, a sheep, and get a few.
Throw the chicken into the Yinlong Pond. In recent years, all the old people have left, and the young people don’t believe this, so they stopped doing it.”
Several people were walking and chatting.
After walking for a while, I heard the sound of water.
From a distance, I saw a thin white thread hanging on the cliff.
When the waterfall falls, there is a crack, like a huge open mouth.
Guo Yunlong pointed to the waterfall and said: "That's right there. You can get closer and have a look, but don't go down. It's too cold here. I'm old and can't bear it anymore, so I won't accompany you."
Jiao Shiniang gave him another two hundred yuan to express her gratitude.
Guo Yunlong took the money and smiled happily.
Suddenly I heard a voice coming from the crack: "Hey, old man Guo, I have you, bring another group of people! This time it's enough to feed the Yin Dragon."
I saw two people walking out from beside the waterfall.
One of them also had his hair tied up in a green hairpin and was dressed like a Taoist priest.
The other one has the appearance of an ordinary person, and looks to be in his forties.
When Jiao Shiniang and Liao Tianxing saw the visitor, they were surprised at the same time: "It's you!"
