Variety Film and Television Journey Home

The sound of the play was empty and distant, and it sounded like it was coming from a very far away place, but if you listened carefully, it felt like it was right next to your ears.

Following the sound, the ghost-like old man curled up and babbled a play that the second master was very familiar with.

"Old man, don't be afraid, we don't mean any harm. Can you hear me?" Er Erhong squeezed the old man's shoulders and tried to calm him down.

But no matter what the people around him said, the old man just trembled and sang those lines repeatedly.

"Second Master, hurry up and sing duet with him." Master Qi Ba thought of something and anxiously reminded the Second Master with his hands.

"The left holds the bow, the right..."

After Er Ye had just sung a few words, the old man seemed to regain consciousness and muttered "Three meters, three meters..."

[It turns out that he was just blind. Just now I thought he couldn't even speak. 】

As the second master's play sounded, the old man's trembling body softened. He bent over and stood up, turning his head to signal for everyone to follow him.

Following the old man, several people arrived at a fortification. Although his eyes were blinded, the old man found his own bed very skillfully and sat down.

"Lao Ba, look at the numbers on this man's body, they are the same as the numbers on his bed. It seems that he was just too frightened."

[Nonsense, you just wanted to beat someone to death! Who wouldn’t be afraid! 】

"Lord Buddha, if you hit people like that, it's no wonder they aren't frightened."

Seeing Master Fo's aggrieved look, the eighth master got really excited. He pointed at the second master and said, "Fortunately, the second master can sing, which eased the relationship."

[This man's eyes were blinded by someone, and his ears are not very sensitive. The fact that he can find this place so skillfully and accurately find his bed shows that he has done these actions no less than a thousand times. 】

[It is not easy for a person to survive in a dark mine. 】

The second master softened his heart and opened the bag he was carrying to get some food, but found that there were only some weapons in his bag.

"He is familiar with you. Try to comfort the old man. Since he can live alone in the mine for so long, having him will be helpful to us in the future."

Taking the food that was handed over to her, Er Erhong nodded and walked towards the old man.

"Get ready, we'll rest here tonight."

"Finally, I can rest! But Lord Buddha, I have done the math. There is a serious danger here. Our safety..."

"If you're worried, why not set up a Bagua formation at the door and put up some talismans or something."

Buddha said these words very casually, and he had no intention of relying on what he said to save his life.

But August became interested, and he vowed: "Don't worry, Lord Buddha, your safety depends on me."

[His words, ‘Your safety depends on me’, are really scary. 】

"Adjutant, clean up." Zhang Qishan looked at Master Ba running out in a hurry with a smile, and turned back to give instructions to the adjutant.

It was still early after dinner, so I lay on the made bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

[Don’t mention it, the real generator is quite powerful, and it can still be used after being idle for so long. 】

[Lie in bed after eating. This kind of happiness is a bit unbearable. There is an old saying that goes, ‘You can live ninety-nine times if you take a walk after a meal. ’]

[Hey, I don’t know if they are all asleep. Am I the only one who can’t sleep? 】

Er Erhong didn't notice what she was thinking. His mind was filled with what he just saw, the mark that belonged to his family.

What is buried in this mine? What happened to his ancestors that led them to lose their lives?

"Zhang Qishan, are you asleep?" He turned his head to look at the dark figure beside him and called him softly.

Zhang Qishan's head was still buzzing because of her inner complaints and he didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

When he didn't get a response, Nian Niao turned his head and looked at the guy next to him.

Before he could speak, a bell suddenly sounded in the dark night. The sound came from far to near, as if it would suddenly appear in the room the next second.

The soldier on the wooden bed was very alert. He jumped up from the bed instantly and wanted to go out to check.

"Don't worry, they can't get in." The old man noticed the movements of the people around him and reached out to wave them back.

At this moment, everyone got off the wooden bed and gathered around the old man.

"Does the person sleeping in that bed have something to do with you?"

"He is the ancestor of the clan, and the clan emblem is engraved on it."

"Then why did you come now?"

Facing the old man's inquiry, Er Erhong said with some guilt: "It's embarrassing to say that when it comes to the affairs of my ancestors, I just..."

[But pull it off, you are not determined to wash your hands in a golden basin for the sake of my wife. If it weren't for Zhang Qishan's insistence on investigating, you would still be happy at home. 】

Er Erhong clenched her fists, holding back her anger and continued in a deep voice: "I only recently learned about it from my ancestors' diaries. I'm really sorry."

[So February Red didn’t come to the mine entirely because of her promise to me?

[Then if anything happens to him in the future, I won’t feel so guilty anymore. Although my brother and I are here, this situation is close to zero. 】

February Hong: It’s really unlucky. Without you, nothing would happen to me.

"Since your ancestors didn't say much, they may have their own considerations."

"Old man, please tell me everything you know about the mine. This is not only related to us, but also to the lives of the entire Changsha people."

"At that time, I was only fifteen years old..."

At the age of fifteen, he worked in a mine to survive. But because he was young and didn't have enough to eat every day, he couldn't get enough energy to replenish his body as he grew older.

Every time he became dizzy from hunger, he would scatter stones on the ground. Every time, the overseer would whip him with a whip.

At that time, there was a big brother who would step forward to help him. He was very eloquent and could speak just a few words that made the overseer's black face turn red.

His superb medical skills would always help him heal the scratches on his body.

He is kind-hearted and can sing well. In his spare time before going to bed, he would also learn a few sentences.

When giving medicine, because he always took care of him, he wanted to do whatever he could to help him.

He said: "If you go out, help me go to Jiumen, Changsha with a message and say I'm leaving."

Only now did he understand what he meant by "gone". It turned out that he had already made plans to die together.

He and his companions used explosives to blow up the tomb passage discovered by those people.

The sound of the explosion disturbed the things in the tomb.

And he and the remaining miners were blinded and served as outposts for those people.

But those people were still dissatisfied with this and wanted to kill them all. He hid alone in the depths of the mine and escaped.

He didn't want to go home and hurt his family, so he decided not to go out again.

He didn't dare to die, he wanted to keep that promise and fulfill the agreement he made with his big brother.

Er Er stood up angrily, clenched his fist and knocked down the wooden stake next to him.

"Old man, I have been offended a lot before." Zhang Qishan looked at the old man apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, you must have been shocked when I suddenly appeared."

[This old man is really considerate. He suffered from darkness, but still yearned for the light. No wonder Er Ye's seniors were willing to help him. 】

Zhang Qishan and Erye both silently repeated the words "Hearts toward the light" in their hearts. Zhang Qishan's eyes were full of determination. No matter what was ahead, he would get to the bottom of it.

"Old man, does the arch you mentioned just now have the words 'Those who enter this door will give up all hope' engraved on it?"

[Zhang Qishan’s vigilance is okay, everyone’s focus is on the old man’s tragic experience. 】

[But he is very keen to grasp important information. Otherwise, he is the head of the Nine Sects and the Admiral of Changsha. Compared with him, the second master is still young. 】

Zhang Qishan glanced at Er Erhong and straightened his back unnoticeably.
