"Brother? Who is your eldest brother?" I knew in my heart that this man probably recognized me as my father, but why did he call my father eldest brother?
At this time, Bahar's eyes were no longer as blank as what I saw just now. Instead, there was some brilliance. Bahar's father seemed to have seen some reasons.
He pulled his son away a little, turned to look at me, and said to me: "Young man, who are you?"
"Old man, I have some questions. Can you ask Brother Bahar? This is very important to me." I also looked very anxious.
Due to Bahar's performance just now, I finally concluded that the person who asked Bahar to lead the way was my father. Otherwise Bahar should not recognize me as my father. My appearance now is different from that of more than ten years ago. The father is very similar.
Even Uncle Wang confirmed the resemblance between our father and son and said that we were very similar. When he saw my appearance, he thought of my father.
Bahar's old father invited us into the house again, and this time he brought Bahar into the house. At this time, Bahar was still very excited and looked at me one by one.
I asked: "Bahar, do you know me?"
Bahar replied: "Hey, big brother, you are the big brother, you are so kind to me, and you also saved me."
"Bahar, take a good look and see if I am your eldest brother" I reiterated again.
Bahar tilted his head and looked at me for a while, and there seemed to be a trace of confusion in his eyes. After a long time, he said again: "You are not the eldest brother, you and the eldest brother look very similar."
I see that Bahar's spirit does not seem to be as high as what Uncle Tohuti said. He can still understand individual people and things. He must have been older and his frightened problem has improved a bit.
I was ready to ask him about the process of taking my father to Kunlun Mountain. I also adjusted my mood and language, and said gently: "Brother Bahar, do you remember that that year you Where did you take your elder brother from?"
"What did you encounter when you went up to Kunlun Mountain? Did your eldest brother save you? Where was your eldest brother? How about the two people your eldest brother brought with you?"
Bahar's expression slowly changed as he thought about it. Sometimes he looked frightened, and sometimes he showed a trace of panic. His expression changed very quickly, almost every few seconds. When I saw him like this, I felt a little worried. Could my question remind him of too many horrible things and irritate him?
But fortunately, he soon became a little more stable. He lowered his head and thought, rubbing his hands together. It was obvious that his mood was a little unstable at the moment.
Suddenly he raised his head, looked at me, and said to me: "At that time, my eldest brother and I, as well as his two members of the archaeological team, went up from here in the north and advanced for more than ten miles before we arrived at Kunlun Mountain. At the mountain pass, my eldest brother asked me to go back at that time, saying that they should leave on their own.”
"Since I have been hiking with my father all year round, I am familiar with most of the areas that do not go deep into the Kunlun Mountains. So I told my eldest brother that I would see them off and then go out with them for more than 20 miles, but there was no What comes to mind is that something happened on a road that I have been walking on all year round.”
"I have never heard of or seen anything since I was a child. My father has been driving mountains for decades and has never seen anything. We encountered a monster. At that time, my eldest brother and the others took me and ran to avoid the monster. Kill, that’s a monster that looks like a mantis.”
"And it's very huge. We have lived here for generations and have never heard of such a huge thing in the mountains. My eldest brother ran with me for a long time, put me in a safe place, and went to lure this mantis away. I was not very old at the time. I had never seen such a creature before, and I was immediately frightened to death."
Bahar seemed to understand more and more as he spoke. He actually looked at his father and said: "I remember, I was so scared that I lost my mind. I have been confused for so many years. Thanks to my father for not giving up on me."
The old father, looking at his son, seemed to be very happy that the situation suddenly improved, with a happy look on his face.
Bahar continued to recall: "This mantis-shaped monster actually had a human head and a pair of huge sickle feet. It liked to eat people, because we saw the corpses of some other mountaineers, all of whom were eaten. cut off”
"But brother, I don't know his whereabouts. After he rescued me, I went back to look for them, but I didn't find them. There was no blood or anything like that. He should have survived and escaped, but brother Where I went and why I didn’t come back, I don’t know.”
When I heard this, I thought to myself, the information that Bahar can provide me is very limited, but the information about monsters cannot be seen at any time. If we go up the mountain, there is nothing to be afraid of. There are spirits among us. Bones aside, no monster can block her attack.
Moreover, the monster Bahar mentioned seems to be just one. There is no need to be afraid. There are so many dangerous places in Kunlun Mountain, so it is not surprising to encounter some monsters.
It turned out that my father just threw him in a safe place and left. With my father's strength, it must have been easy to kill that monster. Throwing this Bahar to a safe place should also be convenient for me. Cast a spell.
After killing the monster, I went straight up the mountain. If I wanted to find my father, this dragon bone was still the only way out. But were the memories contained in the dragon bone a dream, or did they really exist?
My father must have done this just to get rid of Bahar and left with the zombies alone, either to enter a secret realm or to find some ruins that could not be entered without getting rid of Bahar.
Bahar is an ordinary person. If he follows my father, he will easily die on the road even if my father protects him. But with my father's character, he shouldn't care about this. It must be because Bahar has a good heart and his father doesn't want him to die.
After Bahar finished speaking, his expression returned to some sadness, as if the disappearance of my father and the others had caused him to bear the self-blame for many years, thinking that they were dead, but he was the only one who was still alive, and all of this was caused by his leading the way.
Seeing him like this, I felt bad. I thought about telling a lie, so I comforted him a few words, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Bahar, your elder brother left and let you go." I lured that monster away in a safe place just to save you."
"Later, he got rid of the monster and went back to look for you. He didn't see you, but he heard the person who caught up at that time said that you had gone home, so he left with peace of mind."
"Really?, you mean it?"
Bahar was so excited by my lies that I tried my best to smile. The facts were true. Please rest assured. I also didn’t want him to lead the way for me and cause someone to die, which would lead to mental illness.
"It's true, Brother Bahar, don't worry."
