The clothing of these stone figurines is the same as the gold foil paper-cuts in grandma's dowry. However, the facial features of the gold foil paper-cuts in grandma's dowry are clearly visible, but these stone figurines have lost their facial features for some unknown reason.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the ancient book I saw at Uncle Wang's place. There must be some internal connection between them.
"Xiao Cang, that's all. I hope you can understand everyone's hard work and conscience." Zhou Lan looked at me and said, the initial indifference on his face was gone, replaced by a look of brotherly love.
"Brother, I will act according to your arrangements in the future and won't cause you any trouble." I said, but my eyes couldn't help but drift to the stone figurines.
"As long as you understand, Chen Mo, let's go. This cave is too deep. The Guiyuan Pill Xiao Cang gave us has limited efficacy. We don't have so much time to waste." Zhou Lan didn't seem to notice my
Abnormal, but said to Chen Mo.
Guiyuan Pill, it turns out that the name of the magic pill that I got from Geely is Guiyuan Pill.
"Brother, how do you know this?"
After Zhou Lan finished speaking, he and Chen Mo started walking forward. I quickened my pace to catch up with them, and then asked.
"Because this Guiyuan Pill was originally the Chen family's secret recipe."
Zhou Lan did not answer my question, but Chen Mo spoke first.
"The Chen family's secret recipe is your family's secret recipe, so why does Andrew know it?" I continued to ask.
"Maybe it's because of the professor."
At this time, Xiangyu also caught up with us and saw that neither Chen Mo nor Zhou Lan answered immediately, so he said.
"Chen Mo, what happened to your uncle? Why did he fake his death?"
Hearing Xiang Yu say this, I suddenly remembered that after meeting Chen Mo, I had not consulted him on this most important issue.
"Maybe I want to live longer, so I have to die first." Chen Mo said without any emotion in his tone.
What does it mean that if you want to live longer, you must die once? Does this astrolabe also have the function of making people live longer?
"Chen Mo, I actually didn't hear clearly." I said.
"Xiao Cang, none of us know about this. If he hadn't suddenly appeared in Wawu Mountain, we might have all been deceived by him," Zhou Lan said.
"Wawushan, are you saying that he also went into the mountains with us?" I became more and more confused.
"Zhou Cang, the professor is the guide," Xiangyu said.
"How is this possible? Although the old man in the mountains spoke very little at that time, and his arrogant attitude made all of us dislike him, so basically we only communicated with him a handful of times, but after all, we were together for ten years.
Why haven't any of us noticed anything for several days? Has he changed his appearance?" I really don't believe it.
"He has no disguise, he just changed his image." Xiangyu said.
"How to change your image?"
"To be honest, even I was kept secret from him at first." Chen Mo said quietly.
"It's very simple. He just pulled out all his teeth, then deliberately grew his beard and shaved his head. This almost completely changed his facial image," Zhou Lan said.
.
"Furthermore, he pretended that his eyesight was bad, so he always wore sunglasses. The large sunglasses almost covered a third of his entire face, so if we weren't careful, we wouldn't be able to tell." Xiang
Jade added.
"The most important point is that we all thought he was dead, and we all attended his funeral, so even if we felt aware of it, we would not think of a dead person," Zhou Lan said.
"But why did he go to such trouble to do this?" I asked, looking at Zhou Lan and then at Chen Mo.
"Xiao Cang, only grandpa may know about this matter at present, but grandpa refuses to tell us, so we can't force him." Zhou Lan said.
Zhou Lan's words shocked me. Could it be that the mysterious man who talked to my grandfather in the study that night was actually the professor?
However, at that time, grandpa clearly used Chen Yurang’s lessons learned to persuade the other party to retreat.
Isn't this a contradiction?
According to what Xiang Yu just said, the prescriptions for the pills in Geely's hand came from the professor. Could it be that the professor is also a member of Guiyiyuan?
Things are getting more and more complicated. At this point, I can no longer tell the difference between east, west and north. It seems that everyone involved has a side behind them that I don't know.
"Brother, why do you know so much? Did the organization you belong to tell you? I actually want to know where you grew up over the years, what the environment was like, and whether you lived well.
, After all, I was supposed to bear these." I said.
When Zhou Lan heard what I said so emotionally, he seemed to ponder for a while, and then said: "Xiao Cang, my life has actually been pretty good these years. It's not as miserable as you imagined. It's just that I participated in Stars earlier than you."
I’m going through all these complicated things, so I’ll know things earlier than you do.”
"Then where did you grow up?" I looked at Zhou Lan's relaxed expression, which didn't look like he was trying to trick me, so I continued to ask.
Hearing what we said, Zhou Lan and Chen Mo looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.
I'm a little anxious. Are you laughing at me? I really care about my brother.
"Xiao Cang, you may have forgotten that our mother's surname is also Chen." Zhou Lan smiled and then said.
This sentence awakened the dreamer. Our mother's name was Chen Yiyun.
Could it be that the mother's Chen and Chen Mo's Chen are actually from the same family?
What earth-shattering news this is.
Could it be that Chen Mo and I are actually cousins?
But why have my parents never mentioned it over the years? Moreover, Chen Mo has also been to the Zhou family's old house. My grandparents did not treat him differently. They all called him my classmate without discrimination.
I stared at them with my eyes wide open, with an expression on my face that wanted an explanation.
"Zhou Cang, your mother is the youngest daughter of the Chen family. Logically speaking, my father and professor are both your uncles." Chen Mo said slowly.
"But why has my mother never mentioned it, and the Zhou family seems to have never had any contact with my mother's natal family? Is there any special reason here?" I spoke very fast, and I couldn't hide the anxiety in my heart.
.
It really surprises me that my mother actually has such an identity.
"After the professor took Zhou Lan away, my aunt came to pray for her son many times, but due to organizational discipline requirements, the professor refused every time. Therefore, my aunt burned incense at the door of Chen's house and swore that she would be with Chen for the rest of her life.
We will never get to know each other until we die." Chen Mo said, with a sad look on his face.
There are also past events like this.
It turns out that my mother is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as my grandparents said.
Who is this organization? Not only can the Zhou family obey its orders, but even the Chen family, which is rich and powerful, dare not violate its organizational disciplines.
"Chen Mo, in terms of organization, do you mean Guiyiyuan?" I can only think of this at the moment.
"Guiyiyuan is just a small institution affiliated with it," Zhou Lan said, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
In this way, our opponent is stronger than imagined.
"Brother, it's okay. We work hard together as a family. Even if we fail, we won't regret it." I held Zhou Lan's shoulder and said.
"Let's go quickly. The effect of this Guiyuan Pill can only last for three hours. The air in this cave is different from our ordinary air and contains unknown substances. If we hadn't taken the Guiyuan Pill just now, I'm afraid
My nose is still bleeding now." Chen Mo urged us.
"Yeah, let's talk while we walk."
We had been chatting about the Zhou and Chen families just now, so she didn't interrupt. Now when Chen Mo said this, she followed up.
However, I felt a little strange, because Chen Mo and I were both her classmates, and she suddenly knew that we were cousins. Why didn't she show any surprise, as if she had known it for a long time.
We had just walked a hundred meters when Chen Mo and Zhou Lan suddenly stopped, and both of them looked ugly.
"The phalanx has changed its position." Xiang Yu's face turned pale and her lips trembled as she said.
