After Zhou Lan woke up, Chen Mo and Xiang Yu also opened their eyes one after another.
"Brother, how are you? Do you still feel normal?" I stood next to Zhou Lan and asked anxiously.
Zhou Lan rubbed his temples, shook his head vigorously, and then said: "I have a bad headache, Xiao Cang, I just seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, I went back to my childhood, with you all
We live together, including grandparents, father, mother, and you, but I kept bullying you and made you cry several times."
"Brother, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay, I was scared to death by you just now." I felt like I was being misguided, and I could barely hold back the tears in my eyes.
"Zhou Cang, I also had a long dream. In the dream, I seemed to have returned to the kind of life I loved and longed for most. If I had the choice, I would not want to wake up." Xiangyu said.
, seems to be still immersed in that beautiful dream.
Only Chen Mo remained silent. He was sitting silently at the solid wood round table, staring straight at the bone flute on the table.
"Chen Mo, are you okay?" Xiang Yu was sitting next to Chen Mo, looking at Chen Mo who had not spoken yet, and asked.
Who knew that Chen Mo still didn't answer her, and still had the same cold expression.
After the three of us exchanged glances, Zhou Lan spoke up: "Chen Mo, did you find any problem?"
"Zhou Cang, this bone flute can capture people's hearts and souls. In the future, it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Chen Mo touched the shiny white bone flute with his hand, but his eyes fell on mine.
face.
"That's for sure. At that moment, I was almost scared to death. This flute is so evil, so I might as well throw it away." I said.
"That's not possible. Since Lao Miaozhu gave this flute to you, he must have his intention. Maybe this flute can also play a great role in our next trip. You see, at the bottom of Poyang Lake and the gods
Tang Wan, the Xiangyu family's flute has helped us so much, it can be used as a self-defense weapon." Zhou Lan said before Chen Mo could say anything.
"That's what Zhou Lan means too. Put it away first," Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, do you think there's anything weird about this flute?" Xiang Yu asked, looking at Chen Mo who had been playing with the flute in his hand.
"You also noticed it, didn't you?" Chen Mo raised his eyes and asked Xiang Yu.
"I just feel it, but I don't know if it's accurate. After all, there are many people in our family who own bone flutes, and the one I have is only my father's, so I don't know what the flutes in other people's hands look like.
I know." Xiangyu said.
"I do think this flute is a bit weird, at least it's different from the one you have." Chen Mo said, not wanting to take his eyes away from the bone flute.
"Yes, I feel it is very different, at least the weight is different when picked up. Although some people in the Wen family have bone flutes in their hands, and they also use the sound of the flute to tame animals, but according to what I understand
Yes, those bone flutes are all polished from the large bones of red-crowned cranes, but the flute in Zhou Cang's hand seems, seems~" Xiangyu paused, but still didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"It seems to be a human thigh bone, right?" Chen Mo completed the half of Xiang Yu's unsaid sentence.
"Yes, I think so, but, Chen Mo, do you think that if it were a human thigh bone, this flute would be a little too small." Xiang Yu said.
"Human bones, Xiangyu, your family is so terrible, using human bones to make flutes?" Zhou Lan said a little exaggeratedly.
"Or maybe this bone flute came from the Sirian biochemistry laboratory." Chen Mo said calmly, picking up the bone flute on the table and handing it to me, "Anyway, Zhou Cang, please take it.
Well, it’s just that you can’t take it out and use it casually in the future.”
"You said these are human bones, so I'd better not hold them." I looked at the shiny white bone flute and felt a little scary for a moment.
"Bring it with you, you will need it later." Chen Mo said seriously.
Hearing what Chen Mo said, I still took the bone flute over.
"It's already very late. Let's go back and rest early. We still need to prepare things for going to Shennongjia tomorrow. Even if someone has prepared the equipment for us in advance, we should always prepare some of the clothes we carry with us." Xiang Yu
said.
"Okay, let's go back first." Zhou Lan also said.
At this moment, Chen Mo's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and pressed the connect button.
"At this hour, someone actually called Chen Mo. It's really strange. Does a person like him have any best friends?" Xiang Yu said with a smile.
Chen Mo said "Uh-huh" twice with a serious look on his face, and then hung up the phone.
The three of us were a little gossipy and wanted to know what kind of phone call this was, but after Chen Mo hung up the phone, he walked to the side of the car with an expression as if nothing had happened, and opened the passenger door.
He sat directly on it.
"Hahaha," Zhou Lan smiled at us and then got into the car.
"This guy was just waiting to eat melon like us, and now he is actually laughing at us," Xiangyu looked at me and scolded Zhou Lan.
"Let's go," I held the bone flute in my hand, feeling a little heavy. Their jokes couldn't ignite any sparks here.
We were about halfway through the journey when Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
"Zhou Lan, there is news about the blue skull."
"What?" Zhou Lan suddenly stopped. "There's news, so soon. Chen Mo, do you still have a connection? Where is it? Is it still in Shennongjia?"
"It's inside Shennongjia, but it may not be that easy to get around," Chen Mo said.
"Oh, don't play riddles. Tell me where it is. Look at the places we have been to before. Which one is easy to walk to?" Xiangyu said anxiously.
"There has always been a legend in Shennongjia that there is a ghost town deep in the forest area, and that blue skull was taken out of the ghost town," Chen Mo said.
"Ghost town, these are all myths. How can there be ghosts in this world? The so-called ghosts are just shadows in people's hearts." Zhou Lan said.
"I think ghost towns are probably a phenomenon similar to mirages." Xiangyu said.
Mirage.
As soon as I heard this word, I immediately thought of the sacrifice of the Yufu tribe that I participated in after the long dream of the black sedan chair. After the cube appeared, there seemed to be a mirage scene.
If the ghost town is really similar to the principle of mirage, then this place must be more or less related to the astrolabe.
"Zhou Cang, you are in a daze again. Didn't you hear what we just said?" Xiangyu suddenly pulled my sleeve and said.
"Ah, what did you just say?" I said "hehe" twice, a little embarrassed, and then said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't hear it."
"What we are saying is that mirages are most likely a phenomenon of time and space distortion. In addition, the Capricorn-headed figure in Shennongjia also matches my grandma's dowry, so our first stop was to go deep into Shennongjia to look for the ghost town.
The symbol of the ghost town is probably the stone sculpture with the head of a Capricorn." Xiangyu said, his eyes not daring to leave my face for a moment, for fear that I would be distracted again if I was not careful.
"That's good, you can just make arrangements," I immediately replied as soon as Xiangyu finished speaking.
"Do you have any thoughts about the ghost town? You have been distracted for so long, so you must have something to think about." Xiangyu asked.
"It seems not," I said, scratching my head.
"Forget it, he probably can't think of anything, so let's settle it. We will sort it out tomorrow morning and set off towards the Shennongjia Ghost Town in the afternoon." Zhou Lan said, and the accelerator under his feet unconsciously accelerated.
.
I looked at the stars in the sky outside the car window and thought to myself, can my mother keep up with such a fast speed?
