Our conversation stopped as soon as Xiangyu saw her coming in. Although the expression on her face was a bit stiff, she still said with a smile: "Zhou Cang, haven't you eaten yet? Are you still feeling unwell and can't eat?
"
"I was chatting with the old gentleman just now, and I forgot to drink porridge." I replied with a smile, then raised the porridge bowl in my hand and started drinking it.
The millet porridge is very thin, but it is not a clear soup, but a very thick juice that slides into the throat, making the whole person feel very comfortable.
"Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." Lao Miaozhu returned to his kind look, just like his grandfather.
"Thank you, old gentleman." I said with a smile.
"Remember what I just told you and you will be fine," said Lao Miaozhu.
"I will remember it, don't worry." I looked at the old Miao Zhu and said.
"Then let's talk. I'll go back to the kitchen to help." Lao Miaozhu said, picking up the empty bowl and the coarse porcelain pot in my hand, and then slowly walked out of the side room.
"Xiangyu, why are you the only one here, where are the second children?" I stood up, walked to the edge of the small round table, poured Xiangyu a cup of tea, and then sat down myself.
"They said they were going to book a flight ticket," Xiangyu said, looking at me with a hint of something in his words.
"Are you going back so soon? That's right. It's been several days since I came here." I swallowed the second half of my sentence. I originally wanted to say that everyone was injured and dead, but nothing was learned.
"Zhou Cang, do you have any thoughts on this trip to Poyang Lake?" Xiang Yu asked.
"I just woke up and haven't had time to review the process yet, so I really can't tell you what I have in mind for a while," I said.
"After I came back, I carefully recalled our two experiences and discovered a very terrifying phenomenon." Xiangyu said with his big eyes open.
"What's the phenomenon?" I became nervous because of what she said, and I couldn't help but sit up straight and asked.
"I think I saw the old gentleman in the enclosed building at the bottom of Poyang Lake." Xiangyu said, as if he was really scared, and his face changed.
"Have you seen Miao Zhu too?" During the conversation with Miao Zhu just now, I already knew that he was also having sex with us, so Xiangyu's answer didn't shock me much, but I didn't know the look on her face.
What was the reason for the fear? Did Miao Zhu do something to her? Or did she see what Miao Zhu was doing?
"It's not a temple blessing." Xiangyu said, looking around, then moved the stool closer to me, and lowered his voice and said, "It's the guide who took us into Wawu Mountain to find the ancient temple."
"What, that old man followed us into Poyang Lake?" I stood up excitedly.
"Shh," Xiangyu made a quiet gesture towards me, and then pulled me to sit down.
"Where did you see him and what was he doing?" I finished and lowered my voice.
"Although I didn't see his face, I recognized his voice. It was the old guide." Xiangyu said, his eyes still looking around cautiously.
"What did he say to you?" I asked.
Xiangyu looked at me with an embarrassed expression and did not answer my question.
"If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to tell me, it's okay." This situation made me a little embarrassed, so I hurriedly found a step for myself.
"It's not inconvenient, I just don't know whether I should say it or not. The old gentleman asked me to tell you, be careful about Zhang Jisheng." Xiangyu said, looking at me with a pair of big eyes.
She successfully threw the difficult problem to me, and I didn't know how to respond to this sentence.
Probably seeing the embarrassment on my face, Xiangyu spoke first: "I know that the old gentleman's words are not trustworthy, but they are groundless. He will not say these things for no reason, so you should be careful in everything."
For the best."
"Xiangyu, thank you, I will protect myself. Sometimes I feel really guilty when I think about it. As a boy, I seem to have asked you to protect me many times during these two adventures."
I teased myself to Xiangyu to ease the somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere.
"No way, isn't this the spirit of teamwork? Only by helping each other can we achieve the greatest success." Xiangyu said with a slight smile, then the smile disappeared and she stared at me seriously.
"What's wrong?" I felt a little overwhelmed by this sudden change.
"Zhou Cang, we have all had contact with the old gentleman in Wawu Mountain. Do you think there is something strange about him?" Xiangyu said, with the same terrifying look on his face again.
"I don't seem to feel anything." I paused for a moment and recalled the old man's appearance. In fact, although we walked together in Wawu Mountain for seven or eight days, the old man said very few words and was mean.
Most of the time, he was alone smoking a dry cigarette, so speaking of it, I really didn’t know much about this person. “Did you discover anything?”
"I don't know if it's true, but I just have a strong feeling. I'm afraid you'll say I'm talking nonsense when I speak out. Anyway, since I saw him in the building at the bottom of Poyang Lake, my heart has never been stable.
After coming down, once a person calms down, he will compare him with another person, and the more he compares, the more similar he feels." Xiangyu stared at the cup of cold tea on the table, clenching his fists with both hands.
, the nervousness on his face is obvious.
"Do you think he looks like someone you know?" I probably heard this meaning from her words.
Xiangyu looked at me, nodded heavily, and then said: "I don't think it looks like it, but now I am almost sure that it is him."
"Who is it? Do I know him too?" Xiang Yu made me a little nervous, and I eagerly wanted to know who this person was.
"It's Professor Chen." Xiangyu looked at me and said word by word.
"What," I stood up straight and looked at him with an incredible look.
"I attended Professor Chen's memorial service. I saw him being taken away in a car at the crematorium. Therefore, when I heard his voice in the building, I couldn't believe it. I thought I was
Maybe I bumped into a ghost." Xiangyu looked at me and said, the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was really scared.
"You haven't seen his face, but you just think his voice is similar to Professor Chen?" I added some tea to her and asked.
"Yes, even though I only heard the voice, I really think he is Professor Chen. People's voices may be similar, but his speaking speed, habits, wording, etc. will not change.
In addition, looking back at the actions and demeanor of the old gentleman when we got along with him in Wawu Mountain, I am now almost certain that the old guide is Professor Chen." Xiangyu looked at me and said.
What she said shocked me.
When I was in the glazed corridor inside the lotus seat, I felt that the voice of the mysterious shadow man was very familiar, but I could never recall it. I felt that it was a very distant sense of familiarity. Now I finally know what it means.
Where does the sense of familiarity come from? It is the feeling of sitting in a university classroom and listening to Professor Chen's lectures.
If the shadow man is really Professor Chen, then Xiangyu's guess that the old man is Professor Chen can also be established.
But why didn't he die? Or, in other words, why did he fake his death and follow us into Wawu Mountain and Poyang Lake for adventure? What was his purpose?
What is the reason that prevents him from living in this world in his own identity?
Are the people who forced him to fake his death the same people as those who control the Zhou family?
He asked Xiangyu to remind me to be careful about Zhang Jisheng. Doesn't this mean that Zhang Jisheng is the black hand who has been controlling the Zhou family and sent me to control me?
"Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang, what's wrong with you?" Probably seeing me dazed, Xiangyu pulled my sleeve and called me twice.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I suddenly felt dizzy at this moment." I came to my senses and did not tell Xiangyu about the experience in the Glazed Corridor, because once I mentioned it, I had to explain a lot.
"If you don't feel well, why don't you go lie down for a while? Zhang Jisheng doesn't know when to book the flight. We have agreed to go back to Zhou's house with you first, and then make plans." Xiangyu said, suddenly there were circles under his eyes.
Hong Hong took a deep breath and said: "Brother Li followed us into the lake. Now that he is gone, we must give Chen Mo an explanation."
"Then let's go back to the Zhou family's old house together and study it. Living in the Laoye Temple all the time is not an option." I looked at Xiangyu and said.
