Panma's daughter-in-law walked over quickly, picked up the stick, and put a pot of freshly boiled tea on the low table in the room.
Panma knew that Zhang Zhuxun could speak Yao language, so he waved his hand and sent his son who was acting as translator away.
Panma's son also closed the door when he walked out of the house. The room suddenly fell into darkness, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the cracks in the window. There was a clear distinction between Zhang Zhuxun and Panma.
The barbaric smell of home-made tobacco filled the air. It was as if there was a silence contest on both sides, and no one spoke.
After finishing the bag of hookah, Panma took out a candle from nowhere, struck a match and lit it.
The candle-yellow fire suddenly illuminated a small area in the middle, and Panma's dark, wrinkled and fierce face had its edges strangely softened at this moment.
Wu Xiaoxie couldn't tell what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the current scene would look like he was playing pen fairy with some guys in the dormitory when he was in college.
Could it be that the old man wanted to use candles to recruit a fairy to protect the family and take care of him and Muyu? Or something?
Wu Xiaoxie coughed lightly, put away his thoughts in Wai Lou, and planned to find a topic to expand on.
"I know your reason for coming, and I can probably guess who you are."
Wu Xiaoxie hadn't thought about what to say yet, but unexpectedly, Panma started talking first.
Panma seemed to be looking at Zhang Zhuoxun and the two with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to find some trace of familiarity in them.
In the end, it was all in vain. It had been too long, and the facial features of those people had become so thin that he could not remember them clearly.
"I have expected that one day someone will ask about this. If you want to ask, just ask. After asking, leave immediately and don't bother me again."
Panma said simply, with a hint of relief on his face that he had known he would be.
Zhang Zhuoxun translated his words to Wu Xiaoxie in a low voice. Wu Xiaoxie was a little surprised, obviously not expecting him to be so straightforward.
Wu Xiaoxie and Zhang Shuxun looked at each other. Zhang Shuxun took out the forged work permit from his pocket, opened it and held it up to Panma's eyes, and said, "You still remember this person, right?"
The light in the room was not good. Panma squinted his eyes and took a closer look. His pupils shrank suddenly. He then carefully looked at Zhang Zhuxun's facial features and revealed a hint of surprise, "Who are you to her?"
Zhang Zhu was just telling lies, "She is my ninth aunt. She went to Banai for investigation. We only received one letter asking for help from her, and then we lost contact with her family. You were identified in that letter, But a few years later she came back, and at the same time she became very strange. Later she ran to Banai and was never seen again."
"No wonder." Panma smiled strangely, "It still looks a bit similar."
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes twitched and he continued: "So, we want to know what happened to the expedition team back then."
Panma shook his head, "You are mistaken. Those people are not an expedition team, but soldiers. They all carry guns."
Zhang Zhuxun did not refute his words and nodded, "You continue."
Panma narrowed his eyes, rubbed another pack of cigarettes and lit them, his expression somewhat unclear.
"You are very smart. If you bring that guy here today, even if you threaten me, I will never tell you these things. I am not afraid of death."
Zhang Zhuxun and both of them knew that "that guy" in his words was referring to the younger brother.
Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but ask, "What you said, we will kill each other, I want to know the reason."
Panma's expression turned sinister for a moment, "Because, he smells of death."
Wu Xiaoxie was startled, but became even more confused. What does the smell of dead people smell like? Corpse odor? Or is it like Chen Wenjin, who exudes the scent of ghosts when she is about to become a forbidden woman?
No, no, there is absolutely no forbidden bone fragrance on my body. Muyu also said that Lao Meng’s precious blood can completely KO the Corpse Dragon Ball, which is even more strange. What is Panma’s basis for saying this?
He wanted to ask more questions, but Zhang Zhuxun gave him a look that signaled him to be calm, so he had no choice but to give up.
Pan horse
Let’s continue talking about the expedition team.
"I found that they piled up many identical boxes in the camp, and they would send people to transport those boxes out of Yangjiao Mountain in batches. Those boxes would emit an indescribable smell, a smell I had never smelled before. "
"You should also know that the thing that ran to your house is not a human being anymore, right?" Panma stared at Zhang Zhuxun and said with certainty.
Zhang Zhuoxun sneered, "So? How did they become that kind of thing? You know better than anyone else."
Panma's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the Yao Dao hanging on the wall.
Zhang Shuxun's next words completely defeated his luck, "Since we can find out here, we naturally know how much you participated in it."
Wu Xiaoxie also joined in: "You know our purpose very well. We just want to know what happened back then. The target is not you. As for the rest, we are not interested. Besides, you are an old man who is in the hands of my brother." It's just a few tricks, it's unrealistic to resist stubbornly, and besides, we can only be regarded as the pioneers of the family. If we figure out the cause of the accident, then everyone will be happy in the future."
Wu Xiaoxie said this to warn Panma, telling him not to try to kill anyone and silence him. Moreover, Muyu was by his side, and it would only take a matter of minutes to kill Panma in a fight, so he was not afraid at all.
A trace of struggle flashed across Panma's face. Seeing this, Wu Xiaoxie took another dose of strong medicine, "We can guarantee that this matter will not involve your family. I heard that your grandson needs a lot of money to study. We You can also provide a subsidy. For such a good deal, you won’t be able to find another one even if you hold a lantern.”
Panma lowered his head and gave a very big salute to the two of them. He raised his head and looked at the two of them, "No matter what you and the family behind you want to do, I just hope that you will keep your word. If you want to settle old scores, , it only counts on me, I killed all those people, the other few people just helped me carry things."
Wu Xiaoxie was a little surprised, killing someone? He was keenly aware that there must be some connection between the murder Panma said and "the expedition team is fake".
Zhang Zhuoxun raised his hand to show that he was all ears.
Next is Panma's account of a series of sinful acts they carried out when they were possessed by the devil.
"It was a magic lake. The monsters inside climbed out and turned into the appearance of those people. They all had that strange smell on their bodies, which was exactly the same as that emitted from the box. Your friend also had this smell on his body. It smells like they have been replaced by the monsters in the lake."
Panma's hand holding the pipe was trembling. He was afraid. He had a premonition that those monsters from back then would soon come to him.
