Chapter 132
"Then we're not crossing the border illegally?"
Little Tian wasn't fully awake yet, when he heard him say the national border, he answered without hesitation.
Jiang Siyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"There is an objective possibility of this, but we didn't do it voluntarily, we were held hostage. Brother He is already trying to find a way to contact the police. I heard that he also knows the relevant departments. It's just that our mobile phones will be confiscated. I lost it, or lost it, and there is no phone in the village! Hey, speaking of this village, you don’t know, I’ve never seen such a backward village in my life, there’s only one TV, black and white, and it’s hard to find a mobile phone , I don’t even know that there is such a place in our modern society, what’s more troublesome is the language barrier...”
Little Tian listened to him talking. Although his mind was still buzzing, he didn't feel annoyed. On the contrary, there was a familiarity and nostalgia for returning to the world. He wished that he could talk more so that he would have a real sense of living in the moment.
No matter how simple the place is, the air she breathes is more comfortable than in the underworld. She doesn't want to experience that cold and gloomy feeling again in her life. Besides, they are still going through life and death, and they have experienced so much... huh?
Thinking of this, Little Tian suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
Jiang Siyin immediately stopped speaking.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I feel like I forgot a lot of things, including what I experienced in the underworld before," Little Tian panicked, "Is it possible that I am amnesia?"
"I thought it was something!" Jiang Siyin breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to her, "Didn't Brother He say it before, ordinary people have been to the underworld, and when they come back, they will not fully remember the things below, it is normal to have memory loss Yes, because it is not a place for living people to stay in, and only those who are as capable as Brother He and the others, or who have the chance of good luck, can clearly remember and describe it."
He Shu did say this.
Little Tian moved his body slightly, except for the soreness, there seemed to be no more serious injury.
Jiang Siyin: "I think it's a good thing to forget. After all, there are some things that we can't understand. I still remember seeing a terrible monster at that time. It seemed to be called Kun. Its appearance is something I don't want to recall in my life. Fortunately, I forgot, otherwise I'm afraid you will have nightmares every day."
As soon as he said it, Little Tian also remembered.
It was true that there was Kun, and Yanluo, the Tenth Hall, all of them came out, but she couldn't remember what happened.
Instead, had a long dream while sleeping, which remember very clearly.
"I had a dream about you."
Hearing Little Tian's words, Jiang Siyin's expression suddenly froze.
Little Tian wondered: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Siyin: "Coincidentally, I also had a dream about you."
Little Tian: "You talk first, then let's get right?"
Jiang Siyin nodded.
In the dream, Jiang Siyin was no longer a native Chinese. He traveled across the ocean with his brothers and friends to explore the "rich Far East" in their eyes.
Their profession is generally called explorers or adventurers, and some people call them robbers.
After the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned the Old Summer Palace, there have been more explorers of this kind all over the eastern continent. Some of them went deep into the inland, or even the barren and desolate land in the northwest, and took away cultural relics or rare animals in the name of archaeology, and then brought them back to Europe. Sell at a high price and gain both fame and fortune.
At that time, in order to invade and occupy Myanmar, the British government had a dispute with the Qing government on the Qing-Myanmar border. This dispute lasted from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and it has never ceased. Jiang Siyin and his party were hired by the British side to draw maps in the southwest. of.
At that time, the border line was not as clear and strict as it is now, the country was poor and the people were weak, and foreign expeditions were free to come and go without anyone stopping them. They went deep into the jungle and not only discovered the territory of the Wa people, but also found the land left by Zhuge Wuhou more than a thousand years ago. trace.
More than a thousand years ago, in order to have no worries and realize the great cause of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, Zhu Geliang once sent troops to the southwest.
The southwest region has always been far away from the Central Plains, with many local tribes, and is famous for being wild and backward. The Seven Captures of Meng Huo is a story that has been widely spread through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Wa people are one of them, and the Wa people have kept many relics about Zhu Geliang in the territory of the Wa people. Even the food, clothing, housing and transportation, they have to discover the connections and allusions from thousands of years ago.
Jiang Siyin's companions clashed with the Wa people near the Chasing Dragon Mountain. They shot and killed several Wa people, and fled into the mountain with the hostages. Anger grew from the heart to evil, and he smashed the temple, only to find all kinds of jade and jewels buried in the temple, as well as a strange mirror.
"I dreamed that the mirror can reflect everyone's appearance when they are old, and it can also respond to treasures. As long as it is close to jade, gold and silver, the mirror will shine."
In the past, Jiang Siyin would only regard this kind of dream as a fantasy novel, but after experiencing so many things, he no longer regards the dream as an ordinary dream.
"Also, the mirror seems to have some kind of magical power. In my dream, I heard from my partner, er, I heard from my partner that every time they got the mirror, their hearts would be pounding, as if their souls would be sucked in. Yes Yeah, they're speaking English, but I can understand it."
"and then?"
Little Tian listened intently, and even forgot the discomfort of waking up.
"Then, I had a disagreement with my companions. I think such a mirror is more precious than the pharaoh's relics in the Egyptian pyramids. It must be brought back to the UK and placed in the British Museum so that everyone can visit it. The best destination. But others disagree, their purpose of coming here is called exploration, but in fact it is stealth and robbery."
"I didn't want to argue with them anymore, so I sneaked the mirror away. They chased me from behind and shot me. I fell off the cliff, thinking I was going to die, but I met a passing young girl who was also a local Wa people, who came into the mountains to collect herbs, I was so delirious at that time, she rescued me with herbs, I am very grateful, lest she know that I am one of the chief culprits who took her people hostage Lied that I was invited by the local government to go into the mountains to survey the geography, but I just got lost."
"The girl was very nice. She didn't leave me behind. She stayed with me all the time and told me local stories."
Jiang Siyin in the dream was an Englishman. He had no understanding of Chinese civilization at first, and the quarrel with his accomplices was only because he regarded the mirror as a cultural relic, not a trophy.
But in the mouth of the Wa girl, he gradually understood why the local Wa people worshiped this ancient man named Zhu Geliang so much, learned about Zhu Geliang's life's achievements, and also learned about the suffering of Yunnan in modern times.
He gradually fell in love with the girl, and also fell in love with the house and the city, and fell in love with the land where the girl lived, and the history of thousands of years in this land.
Although Britain is not considered a country with a poor history, the island country has never had such a brilliant civilization comparable to ancient Greece and Rome. The difference is that ancient Greece and ancient Rome were long-extinct civilizations that only existed in history books, while the Chinese civilization really existed, even though its people's livelihood is difficult and the country is poor and weak.
But the more Jiang Siyin listened, the more he felt that the sleeping lion might not wake up one day, and his original intention of taking the cultural relics away for safekeeping was too naive. Let alone whether his friends would agree, just It is a mirror that travels across the ocean, how many accidents you will encounter on the way is unknown.
After thinking over and over again, Jiang Siyin decided to keep the mirror. He found a secret place, buried the mirror, and only told the girl the location. At that time, because of the gunshot wound and the injury from falling off the cliff, he already knew that he was going to die. Not long after, he was afraid that the girl would be hurt by him, so he found fault and scolded her, but who knew that the girl not only refused to leave, but also wanted to live and die with him.
"At that time, I remember the me in the dream, and said to her, if there is an afterlife like in Buddhism, I would like to be a Chinese, meet her again, and make up for the regrets and mistakes of the previous life. I hope that at that time, there will be no There will be no more wars, no more turmoil, I hope she and I can have a wonderful encounter and a happy future."
When saying this, Jiang Siyin kept looking at Little Tian.
Little Tian's expression changed several times, obviously reacting violently to his dream, but he resisted not interrupting Jiang Siyin.
It wasn't until he finished speaking that Little Tian spoke slowly.
"My dream, most of the content, is similar to yours. The difference is that I am a girl's perspective. Wouldn't that really be our previous life?"
In fact, there is no need to ask this question, and various signs have already confirmed their guess.
After going to the underworld, Jiang Siyin's acceptance of this possibility has almost no obstacles.
But accepting is accepting, this kind of past life is not pleasant.
In particular, Jiang Siyin didn't expect that he might be a foreigner in his previous life, or a foreigner who stole cultural relics.
"The head descendant kept asking me all the time, no, he didn't get anything out of it, but now I have a complete dream. It should be related to our trip to the underworld, and the tactile sensation in the dark."
Seeing that Little Tian's face was not good-looking, Jiang Siyin reluctantly raised his spirits to comfort her.
"Even if these are really our past lives, they have nothing to do with the present. It can only mean that our fate is unfinished, and we will meet in this life. We should be happy."
Little Tian shook his head: "It does matter, those foreigners must also know about our past lives, so they won't let us go after a lifetime, they have to get the whereabouts of the mirror before they stop."
Jiang Siyin was silent for a moment: "I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you after my death in the previous life, did you take out the mirror?"
Little Tian smiled bitterly: "No, if the dream is true, I was caught up by that group of people not long after you died. They forced me to ask me the whereabouts of the mirror. Of course, I refused to say, and I was shot to death. They thought you hid the mirror nearby, but—"
Jiang Siyin continued: "But I didn't hide the mirror where they could imagine, so after we died, they couldn't find the mirror until the present world."
Little Tian's face was solemn: "So they won't let us go, that John said that he was a brother to you in his previous life, and I can't believe what he said, and those few head descendants, the more I think about it now, the more I feel scared. ."
Jiang Siyin wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, so he joked: "Now we are not fighting alone. With Brother He and the others here, those people don't dare to be arrogant. After all, Brother He is now Yan..."
He was about to blurt out, but suddenly he couldn't remember He Shu's identity. He knew what he was going to say in his mind, but he couldn't say it when he reached his mouth.
Jiang Siyin and Little Tian looked at each other, and they vaguely knew that this might be related to their inability to clearly describe the taboos of things in the underworld after returning to the world, so they no longer reluctantly.
The two lived and died together, and the relationship was completely different. Little Tian didn't feel it just now, but now once he calmed down, that ambiguous aura began to appear and wander.
She blushed slightly, and yawned as if trying to cover it up.
Jiang Siyin thought she was really sleepy: "You should rest first, it's just after twelve o'clock in the morning, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do, and just tell Brother He and the others about our complete dream."
Although Little Tian lay down, his eyes fell on him.
"how about you?"
"The village chief gave us three rooms. I'll sleep next door. Brother He and the others are on the far left. You are in the middle. Call us if you have something to do. It's very far away here, and it's quite safe!"
...
He Shu turned over again.
This is the first time he has turned over at night.
Tossing and turning, the top was worn up by the movement, and the belly was exposed.
Suddenly, there was an extra hand on his stomach.
With temperature, warm hands.
"Are you frying an omelette?"
Guanghan's helpless voice sounded beside him.
