Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Everyone is a Bomb

What I mean is that sixteen years have passed. During these sixteen years, I don't know how many earth-shattering and earth-shattering changes have taken place. Who knows what the current situation is like? But Bai Su said: "People who deliberately hide themselves seldom change their environment. For people like them, time and life are meaningless. Look at Gan Tiesheng, he has always been in that mountain." I sighed: "Even if it is, do you know how big Wuyi Mountain in Fujian is? You can't run to the foot of the mountain, set up a loudspeaker, and shout a round of words, hoping that he can hear it and come out to meet."

Bai Su glared at me. Wuyi Mountain is a famous mountain range with a radius of more than 60 kilometers. There are countless mountains, mountains, cliffs and valleys. I don’t know which mountain farm the small Taoist temple is located in. I’m afraid a thousand people will go in to find it. He is also hard to find. Bai Su thought for a while: "I think, tell Junhua and Gan Tiesheng the news, they will definitely find Fang Tiesheng from Wuyi Mountain even if they try their best not to do so." I thought, this is the truth, I just added: "If Fang Tiesheng is still in Wuyi Mountain."

Hu Shuo asked a question: "Back when Chen Changqing met Fang Tiesheng by chance, why did Fang Tiesheng send him this photo?" I thought about it: "Perhaps, Fang Tiesheng missed Junhua, and met Junhua again by chance. Hmph, I just don't know how he explained his betrayal to Junhua." Bai Su sighed: "The more information we get, the weirder things are. After Fang Tiesheng's betrayal, it seems that he didn't get any benefits. Isn't it weird?" Wen Baoyu immediately agreed: "It's so illogical." Bai Su looked at me, and I just smiled wryly—on this matter, the few of us made various assumptions, but none of them seemed to be established.I know there must be another reason, but I just can't find a clue, so I don't want to think about it for the time being. Let my mind calm down and find another way.

Seeing my expression, Bai Su understood what I meant, and she also felt the same: "By the way, it's useless to think about it. It seems that you are not going to see Junhua and Gan Tiesheng?" I sighed: "It's pointless to meet them, because they don't even know the reason for Fang Tiesheng's betrayal." Bai Su pondered for a while: "I'd like to have a look." I snorted, "To meet two gay men?" Bai Su shook his head: "Junhua has changed her gender, and more importantly, I want to go to the scene to learn about the environment. I always feel that there must be some strange things that we don't know about in that vast area of ​​barren mountains and rivers. But...that might be the key to the whole thing."

Generally speaking, Bai Su rarely shows such initiative in one matter, but this time it was a bit unusual. I raised my eyebrows as a question, Bai Su thought for a while, and gave an answer: "Betrayal, although It is common in human behavior, but this betrayal incident is extremely special. If it was purely out of Fang Tiesheng's own will, then the horror of human nature is far beyond the world's knowledge, so it is better to find out." I understand what she means. She has always suspected that there is an "external force" affecting Fang Tiesheng. This was originally one of our various assumptions. I don't think we will find anything when we go to that mountainous area, but Bai Su's interest is even greater. Gao, we haven't traveled together for a long time, so why not join in her fun?Although it can be expected that the mountainous area is definitely not a good place to travel, I still said: "Okay, let's go together."

Wen Baoyu turned out to be whimsical: "Okay, the school has holidays." I looked at him: "What are you doing? I thought it was a hiking and barbecue wildfire meeting?" Wen Baoyu didn't look at me, but looked at Liangchen Meijing, trying to instigate them to go too, Liangchen Meijing sighed in unison: "No, our study schedule is very tight, and we are not very interested in that mountainous area." Wen Baoyu was very frustrated, and rubbed his hands again and again: "It's a pity, you will regret it, after I go—" I interrupted him coldly: "You first ask Ling Tang if she has arranged any holiday activities for you."

Wen Baoyu's expression suddenly looked like a leaking ball, and he sighed: "Don't ask, I know, she has already arranged for me to accompany her to Thailand, and I won't allow me to refuse." I patted him on the shoulder: "That's it." Wen Baoyu had a bitter face: "I don't like to go to Thailand, and I don't like to go with my mother." Although Liang Chen Meijing usually quarrels with him, but at this time, she sympathizes with him very much: "Thailand is a very mysterious place, maybe there will be adventures." Wen Baoyu rolled his eyes, and let out a gurgling sound from his throat, which was his way of expressing dissatisfaction and protest—it is conceivable that during the trip in Thailand, his mother, Mrs. Wen, who was hopelessly fat , I will definitely hear this kind of voice day and night, maybe because of it, I will wonder whether Wen Baoyu has some strange disease.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.Bai Su also sympathized with Wen Baoyu very much, she said very gently: "It's also very appropriate to travel with mother, and Thailand is indeed a very mysterious place, where the head-bending technique is prevalent—" Wen Baoyu immediately seemed to be full of air in a ball again, and became happy: "Yes, Dr. Yuan Zhenxia has experienced the extremely mysterious and terrifying head lowering technique, and he also knows a great head lowering master, um, let him introduce you. After Thailand, I went to him to learn the technique of lowering the head."

When I thought of the meeting between Mrs. Wen and the head-subduing master, I laughed even louder. Wen Baoyu looked at me, and I suppressed my laughter: "I wonder if there is a kind of head-subduing that can give you more freedom of action? " Wen Baoyu was serious: "There must be." Wen Baoyu is going to Thailand, Thailand is a rather mysterious place, and Wen Baoyu also said that he wants to find Dr. Yuan Zhenxia to introduce him to the great head-subduing master named Shi Nai. All of this, at this time, is just a chat.At that time, it never occurred to me that Wen Baoyu really had a very strange encounter in Thailand.What happened to him evolved into a weird and inexplicable story.

Of course, that is another story, which has nothing to do with this story, but as usual, I will describe it when the time is right. Nonsense, who has always been not very talkative, did not express any opinion on Wen Baoyu's going to Thailand. The next day, Bai Su sent a telegram according to the address: "Come as soon as possible, and I have important news to inform." She didn't explain that she had clues about Fang Tiesheng's whereabouts, but she was afraid that Junhua and Gan Tiesheng would rush to Wuyishan if they found out. On the third day, Bai Su and I set off for the journey. Naturally, we don’t need to list the details of what happened along the way. When we arrived in that small town, there was a sign outside the door of a house that had been posted by Chinese people for thousands of years, such as “Look at the sky early when the rooster crows” In the small inn of the Menlian, I met Junhua and Gan Tiesheng.

In the information photos hidden by Chen Changqing, we have seen Gan Tiesheng's heroic appearance when he was young. At this time, no matter what, we can't see the dry and thin one in front of us who is shrunk in a very strange posture in the corner of the kang The old man is associated with the heroic young general. Junhua picked us up at the station and went to the small inn together. On the way, she already briefly introduced how she found Gan Tiesheng. As long as she speaks, it can be heard in almost the whole mountain area. She also scattered her novels all over the mountain area, hoping that Gan Tiesheng could read them. Then, she spoke again, explaining that back then, Fang Tiesheng was the only one who betrayed, and all other officers and soldiers of the Tie Army, including her, were victims of betrayal. In this way, Gan Tiesheng finally appeared after two days and two nights. When talking about Gan Tiesheng's appearance, Junhua's voice choked up and she wiped her tears frequently: "As soon as he appeared, what I... saw... was not a person at all... a monkey looked more like a human than him, and his head was messed up. His hair was knotted in thousands of knots, his mouth was wide open, and half of his teeth were missing, revealing a terrible deep hole. He seemed to want to speak, but there was only a terrible sound, and only his eyes looked like There is still brilliance, but it is full of resentment, he and I looked at each other for a long time before asking me two words." When Junhua said this, she paused, and her voice became even more sad: "Guess, what did he ask me?" Both Bai Su and I shook our heads, and Junhua sighed again: "He held a novel in his hand and asked me: 'Really...?'" I also feel sad: "He is so disappointed in people that he also expresses distrust in your novel?" Jun Hua nodded heavily: "At that time, I held his hand tightly and said 'really' hundreds of times." The scene at that time must have been quite touching, and Junhua became more and more excited as she spoke: "It wasn't until I said it so many times that he struggled to say a word again. It's really... sad." What Gan Tiesheng said at the time, we did not listen to Junhua's narration, but Gan Tiesheng himself said it after meeting Gan Tiesheng. That was shortly after Junhua gave us an introduction in the small inn.Gan Tiesheng, a legendary character in the novel, suddenly appeared in real life, which always makes people curious. We are looking at each other. At that time, his clothes were neat and his hair was cut short, but his appearance was still very scary.Of course, it was due to the long-term secluded life in the mountains that made him thin and dry, and his skin was as rough as tree bark. When he reached out to caress his face, he could even hear the sound of "scrubbing". Junhua kept explaining beside him: "He was not like this before, these decades of torture..." Whenever Junhua said that, Gan Tiesheng would look at her: "You were not like this before, and it seems that you have not had a good time in the past few decades." Gan Tiesheng's eyes were still very energetic, as Junhua said, full of resentment, but when he looked at Junhua, the eyes that showed were surprisingly gentle, and when he said that sentence, In the midst of resentment, there is also extreme confusion. He said: "After the incident, I swore an oath never to see people again, because people are too scary! Too scary! There is nothing more terrifying than people in the world!" When he said this, the expression of gnashing his teeth was just like when he made the poisonous oath all those years ago. Bai Su and I sighed in unison, Bai Su said: "Not everyone is so scary, Mr. Gan, you are also human." Gan Tiesheng said in a very slow voice: "What's more frightening is that you don't know when people will change, and the hidden horrors will emerge, making people scary." He paused for a while, and then said: "Everyone is a vicious bomb that can explode at any time. Not only do others not know when it will explode, but even he himself does not know." When he said these words, his voice was very low, but his expression changed from excitement to very calm.It can be seen that in these years, living alone in the remote mountains and wild mountains, he has thought about this question tens of millions of times, and he has already thought it through, so he can no longer arouse any passion. I looked at this legendary figure and recalled what he said. He peeped at human nature from such a direct angle, and the conclusions he drew were naturally direct. His words made sense, and in everyone's mind, Indeed, there is a terrible, vicious, and harmful subconsciousness lurking in it. When it strikes, even the person himself may not know. Jun Hua stood aside, looking at Gan Tiesheng with very affectionate eyes, Bai Su said after a moment of silence: "External factors can sometimes become a very strong temptation to induce the vicious side of human nature." Gan Tiesheng pursed his lips tightly. From his flickering eyes, it could be seen that the hardships and pains of these years and the life of a savage had caused some damage to his body, but it did not damage his body at all. Wise, his eyes said it. Anyone who has the same opportunity as him to meditate alone for decades and has suffered great pain at the front line of life and death will inevitably have many ideas that are not easy for others to think of—many great thinkers and philosophers have also gone through independent In the stage of contemplation, some religious scholars who thoroughly understand life even meditate for a long time. Has Gan Tiesheng's ideological realm reached this point? He looked at Bai Su, and asked slowly: "You guys are as clear as I am about what happened, what tempted him?" I lowered my voice: "Perhaps he doesn't like to be restrained. Military life bores him." Gan Tiesheng waved his hand vigorously: "He only needs to say one thing, no one will force him to stay in the army. In fact, the friendship between me and him will never be restricted by anyone." Bai Su's voice was also very deep: "Excuse me, why do you treat him so well and pick him up from the trash as if you were your brother?" Gan Tiesheng turned his head and looked out the window. Outside the window of the small inn room, there was a cluster of poplar trees. The green leaves trembled in the wind. They looked very chic. He said: "It is not necessary for one person to be kind to another person For any particular reason, this kind of situation is very common." Bai Su's voice is soft, but his words are quite sharp: "There are always some special reasons. According to psychology, when one person is kind to another, in many cases, it is for some kind of psychological satisfaction. It’s not about being nice to other people.” Gan Tiesheng's face became very ugly, and Junhua hurriedly defended him: "He won't, he really treats people well." Gan Tiesheng made a gesture and stopped Junhua's words: "Yes, part, half, or even more than half, I did it to satisfy my own achievement psychology; look, I picked up a boy from the garbage dump and put him Cultivating a majestic warrior makes me very satisfied, but what does this have to do with our relationship and Fang Tiesheng's betrayal?" Bai Su tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally admitted: "Yes, it doesn't matter. If there is a strong temptation from outside, we should find another reason." Junhua sighed faintly: "Any temptation from an external force must be contacted through a medium. I have been with him for almost 24 hours. What chance does he have to contact an external force?" Bai Su and I made a gesture at the same time, and I said it first: "There is a chance, the only chance, that time, when you were in the cave, he suddenly felt something and left suddenly." Junhua shook her head: "What can happen in that little time?" Bai Su said: "I just know, this time we came here mainly to see Mr. Gan, and then we want to go to that col, the mountain where Mr. Gan has lived in seclusion for decades." Gan Tiesheng's body trembled slightly: "That mountain, the whole mountain, is the grave of half of my division's officers and soldiers. I watched them fall one by one, until the last drop of blood flowed, and no one frowned. It is truly a veritable iron army, an iron-like army!" I moved my lips, wanting to ask something but didn't ask, Gan Tiesheng immediately showed a self-deprecating smile - his appearance and his intelligence are totally incompatible, he immediately knew what I wanted to ask, he said: " I was injured, and when I rolled down the mountain, I fell into a very narrow crevice, and I tried to struggle to climb up, but instead I fell." When he said this, he let out a few dry laughs that sounded helpless: "There is a rather deep cave below. As soon as I fell, I passed out. I didn't wake up until I was in a coma for at least ten hours. It took three days to start trying to get out. I was weak and it took a lot of time to get back to life, and it all happened!" Although he said it simply, but imagining the situation of those three or four days, he was no different from falling into hell. Gan Tiesheng continued: "There are still stumps of brothers everywhere on the mountain. I cried once when I saw them. I collected a dozen grenades and prepared to rush in when the enemy generals celebrated their victory. But I want to know why Fang Tiesheng didn't Send troops according to the agreement!" When he said this, he gasped for breath. Junhua hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and he drank it all in one gulp. I took out a bottle of wine from the travel bag, and Gan Tiesheng said "ah", and took it with his hand. He opened Gu Gu Gu Gu and took three sips, then let out another long breath. His voice became extremely bitter: "However, when I came down from the mountain, I saw a few soldiers of the enemy army, and my whole body trembled and became weak. I was so frightened that my whole body was sweating profusely, as if I was about to suffocate, and I could no longer move half a minute. Fortunately, they didn't notice me. At first I didn't know what happened, but later, the number of times. Not only saw people's shadows, but even heard people's voices, I knew that I... had a strange disease, I couldn't Seeing my own kind again, I lost confidence in people. I felt that the most terrifying thing in the world was people! I couldn’t control this deep-seated fear, so I had to hide in the mountains, and I heard people’s voices from afar , I just ran away, fortunately there are many caves in that mountain, so I just hid like this for decades." Bai Suda sighed: "Indeed, people are terrible. Fortunately and unfortunately, you have been hiding in the mountains for decades, and you don't know how many times you have escaped the earth-shattering, bloody rivers, and bones like mountains!" Gan Tiesheng had only left Shenshan not long ago, and he had been with Junhua all the time, so it was not easy for him to understand what Bai Su's words meant.What Bai Su said was right, all those years, the constant violence was caused by vicious human nature! Junhua reached out and caressed the back of Gan Tiesheng's hand. Gan Tiesheng's hand was thin and dry. Under the rough, brown skin, the blood vessels protruded like small snakes. It looked terrifying, but seeing Junhua stroke it His expression at the time was gentle and joyful, and he only felt its beauty, not its ugliness. Gan Tiesheng said again: "Suddenly, I heard Jun... Hua's voice, heard her words, read the book she wrote, the past and the past, all came to my mind together, and I remembered that drama back then... I I’m also sure that Junhua didn’t betray me, it’s just because of Fang Tiesheng, that’s why I regained my confidence in people and dared to summon up the courage to meet people!” Bai Su and I looked at each other, and we both felt that we had received the news of Fang Tiesheng's whereabouts.I said first, "Can you take pictures of the scenes on the stage back then?" Gan Tiesheng nodded immediately: "Yes, a reporter accompanying the army took a very good photo. Fang Tiesheng said he liked it, so he kept it—it was not easy to post another photo at that time." I took out the photo in a rather slow motion: "Is this the one?" When Gan Tiesheng and Junhua saw it, they both let out a sharp cry, as if they saw a person who had been dead for an unknown number of years and suddenly came back to life.Gan Tiesheng also changed his weird posture first—it was a habit he developed when he huddled in the narrow cave in the early days.The eyes of the two people were fixed on the photo, unable to leave for a long time, and then they took a long breath together and looked towards us. The voices of both of them were different: "Where did you come from?" Without answering, I took out a few other photos, and Jun Hua sighed: "His strength is really great, he can throw me up and catch me again!" I asked, "This big man must be Fang Tiesheng?" Gan Tiesheng nodded, pursed his lips and remained silent, while Junhua said: "Of course it is him. I have never seen such a big guy. There are many American basketball players who are over two meters tall, but compared to him, there is no That kind of majestic spirit!" Only then did Gan Tiesheng speak, and his voice was extremely tired: "Everyone will naturally feel awe of him when they see him, not only because he is strong, but also because he has the arrogance to swallow mountains and rivers!" Jun Hua also said: "Yes, in order to find a horse for him, how hard it took to find that tall horse from Kanto, Japan!" When the two talked about the past, from the outside, neither seemed to have any hatred for the other. Naturally, the deep-seated hatred would not be manifested in gnashing of teeth and bursting veins. When they looked at me again, I said: "Sixteen years ago, someone saw him in a small Taoist temple in Wuyi Mountain. He lived in seclusion there, as if he was escaping from something. This proves that his behavior back then was at least Did not bring him any material benefits!" Both Junhua and Gan Tiesheng looked very puzzled. Junhua pointed at Gan Tiesheng: "He... like you, has been living in seclusion in the mountains...then... why?" At this time, Gan Tiesheng showed his true qualities as a decisive soldier. He waved his hand vigorously: "Ask him!" Jun Hua took a deep breath: "Sixteen years ago, he..." Gan Tiesheng and I said in unison: "That's the only clue!" Gan Tiesheng and Junhua looked at each other for a while, and then sighed at the same time. Gan Tiesheng said: "If he is still here, everything will be clear! I don't know how to survive these years!"
