The old deaf man was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "It was me and Ga Qing who escaped together."
There was clearly a sense of desolation and sadness in his words, and his entire figure became more stooped.
escape?
I was deep in thought, but I still didn't interrupt the old deaf man and watched the changes in his face and the look in his eyes. Whatever was calculated or cunning could never escape my attention.
The old deaf man gradually became sad. He sat down cross-legged and looked at the pool blankly.
After another pause, he continued: "At that time, Ga Qing was only eight years old. When I ran there, he couldn't run anymore. He was thirsty and wanted to go to the water to drink. I was so tired that I couldn't run anymore. Resting at the foot of the mountain, he never came back. When I ran over, he had already drowned in the little river water left..."
"Sand Town is cursed. The plague is rampant, the canals are drying up, and it is about to be swallowed up by the desert. No one can get out."
I could tell that the old deaf man wasn't lying, he was really sad.
The curse he mentioned was not actually a curse, it was just that they didn't know the function of Feng Shui and the ferocity of the Seven Kills of the Golden God.
After listening to the old deaf man's statement, I knew the whole story of what happened back then.
About a century ago, Sha Town was prosperous and lively. This was not only because there were many merchants walking around the town, but also because it was rumored that there was a tomb here, and many expedition teams would come here because of it.
It's just that the place is very strange. No one who goes in can come out, but there is still an endless stream of people going there.
Due to the constant influx of merchants and explorers, Sha Town's business has become more and more developed, and people here have made more and more money, so preparations for reconstruction have been made.
The strange thing happened during the reconstruction. It was not because the canal dried up at first, but because the workers dug out something at the site they chose, and then they started to get sick.
This disease is very strange. It causes people to lose consciousness at first, then lose mobility, and then die in their sleep.
When construction first started, although this problem was not small, it did not stop the people of Sha Town, and they chose to recruit many workers.
But after more people died, and the canal began to dry up, they realized that something serious was going on. It was they who started the construction, angered the desert, and incurred punishment!
However, it was obviously too late to stop. The canal dried up completely in a short time. People in the town were thinking of various ways, including sacrifices and offerings, but none of them worked.
Originally, only the workers were infected with the disease, but later the disease spread to the town through the doctors who took care of the workers. At that time, the merchants were so frightened that they stayed away and never came to Sha Town again.
The people in Sand Town initially stayed in the town, but then they couldn't stay any longer and began to gradually flee.
But this curse was like gangrene attached to the bones and could not be shaken off at all. During that time, sandstorms occurred frequently, and anyone who dared to go out would be buried in the yellow sand.
Fear and despair also spread throughout Sand Town. Old Deafhead was still young at that time. Although he participated in part of the excavation at the construction site, he was lucky enough not to get sick. After that, he saw that the town was getting worse day by day, so he took his gold and silver with him, and his wife The child also chose to escape.
Before joining the construction site excavation, he had worked as a guide for two or three years and was very familiar with the road between Sha Town and Sha Town. However, it was not safe to leave Sha Town. Although the time he chose was fine and the route was correct, An accident still happened.
He found out that his wife was sick not far from town.
He had no choice. He gave his wife a sap in the middle of the night and dumped her in the desert. When his child Ga Qing woke up, he took only the child and fled for his life.
When he reached the position of Jiaojiange, he knew that it was less than half a day's journey from Shacheng and there was no big sandstorm, so he took a nap. However, he did not expect that Gaqing would drown in the river that was almost drying up. .
He originally wanted to take Ga Qing's body away with him, but he found that the body had black hair on it and sank directly to the bottom of the water...
He had no choice but to continue running for his life.
When he escaped from the desert and entered the sand city, he looked like a ghost.
At this time, what happened in Shacheng had been rumored to be extremely dangerous by the previous merchants. No one dared to approach him. If they saw him, they would stay away.
He felt that his wife was gone and his children were gone. He was so despairing that he wanted to die.
But every night he would have nightmares, dreaming that his wife was crying beside him, saying that she could not get out on her own, and she would die if she died. Ga Qing died unjustly, and he could not stay in the water forever. He was not sick, so he had to go in. There is peace in the land.
Only then did the old deaf man have a little desire to live. He no longer lived passively, but used the money he brought to raise camels, waiting to see if anyone else escaped from Sha Town, and was always ready to go back to that place. Bring out Ga Qing's body.
In fact, when the old deaf man said this, I was a little confused.
It's about his name for Jiaojiange.
Logically speaking, the old deaf man shouldn't know that vocabulary.
But I still didn't interrupt the old deaf man, and analyzed these things carefully, waiting for the old deaf man to continue.
The old deaf man paused for a moment before continuing:
After he worked hard to raise a team of camels, he waited for an opportunity to enter the desert.
At this moment, a man happened to come to Shacheng and found him, asking him to lead the way into Shacheng.
When the old deaf man said this, he suddenly pointed to the compass on my waist and added that the man also had the same thing as me, and his name was Jiang Pan.
When I heard the words Jiang Pan, my eyes suddenly froze.
The old deaf man didn't stop and continued. He didn't want to lead the way at that time.
Because he knew that anyone who entered Sha Town would definitely die. He didn't want to go back to Sha Town, he just wanted to bring his son's body out.
And he did not hide it from Jiang Pan and told him the truth.
Jiang Pan said that his son had turned into an evil spirit and was still dead in the water. He had to fish out the body to get it out. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything.
After hearing this, the old deaf man became even more desperate, but Jiang Pan said that he could try to help the old deaf man. In exchange, the old deaf man had to take him to Sha Town, so the old deaf man had to agree.
By the time they reached the place where his son drowned, the canal had completely dried up, and his son's body was half buried in the sand.
The previously black fur turned into red fuzz.
Jiang Pan did not let him touch the corpse, but said that his son had become a blood evil spirit, or a blood evil spirit brewed by Yinlong water. At this time, they could not lead the way, so they could only suppress the corpse first.
And it was Jiang Pan who told him that the Feng Shui bureau here was called Jiaojiange, which was designed to kill children and teenagers!
