Chapter 24: Conspiracy?

  ??

  Fatso finally believed that it had been more than two years since his last time, and Cha Wenbin also finally believed that the person who fainted in front of him was really Fatso. If time played a joke on both of them, then this joke would be huge...

  In Pángzi's world, he just left for a little while, but in Zhā Wénbīn's world, this brief moment turned into many years.

  On the ground, gradually calming down his emotions, Fatso suddenly got up and jumped onto the coffin, saying: "There's a ghost, there must be some kind of mechanism here that brought me up from below!"

  There was a knife attached to his pants leg, a military knife. He had once bragged to Lao Xia that this kind of knife was only issued to the elite in special forces. He wanted to pry open the bottom of the coffin, believing that there must be a deep and mysterious passageway underneath. However, when he pulled out the knife, he found that it was already rusty.

  Fatso was shocked, this kind of knife is very difficult to rust, the blade with phosphorus is said to be made of the best pure steel, as long as it cuts through the enemy's skin, it will cause poisoning. Now it has rusted, which proves that it hasn't been wiped clean for a long time...

  The plank was very solid, and the fat man simply jumped out and pushed it down. He frantically dug with his dagger on the ground, but all he found were stones, and sparks flew everywhere. This was a barren land, nothing else...

  "Stop it." Cha Wenbin went to pull the still-raging Baozi, but Baozi didn't care.

  A loud slap, the fatty's face felt scorching hot. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wenbin's face, which had suddenly aged ten years. Finally, he burst into tears, hugging Zhang Wenbin's leg, this robust man as strong as iron cried.

  What he fears is not the loss and the fear, but that time will eventually pass. What he fears is that those former comrades-in-arms have all become like this now, while he knows nothing about it.

  "It's already a surprise to be able to find you, if he knew you were back, I don't know how happy he would be." Cha Wenbin paused and said: "But that was in the past, now he is probably really unrecognizable to you."

  "Is Xiao Yi really suffering from amnesia?" Pangzi was worried.

  "Next time you see him, just call him Old Xia, he's not Xia Yi anymore. Alright, before I go prepare, there's one more thing I want to ask you." As he spoke, Cha Wenbin pulled out a jade circular ring from his pocket, somewhat worn, and when he saw a glimmer of light flash through Pangsuo's eyes, Cha Wenbin's heart stirred with ripples.

  "Do you know this?"

  "Somehow familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before, but can't quite recall." Chubby's eyes were once again filled with a puzzled yet serious expression...

  "It was you who gave it to me, in the last moment I also entered that coffin, inside it was empty and hollow, when the coffin lid closed I felt like I had arrived in another world. Then I saw you walking towards a magnificent golden temple, you pushed open the door of the temple, then the temple began to collapse, you threw out this jade ring, and then I woke up and never saw you again."

  "Da dian? Yu huan?" The fat man muttered two sentences, suddenly he seemed to be in great pain, covering his temples on the ground and repeating these two words over and over again, "Da dian, yu huan... da dian, yu huan..."

  "What's wrong!" Looking at the sudden change in Baozi, Cha Wenbin was also anxious, but at this moment, Baozi seemed to be trapped in a certain situation and couldn't get out. Afraid of another accident, Cha Wenbin had no choice but to grab Baozi's middle finger and put it in his mouth, biting down hard and sucking out a mouthful of blood that splattered onto Baozi's forehead.

  Finally, the fatty calmed down, and it's unknown whether it was due to the pain or the effect of the blood from his middle finger. He lifted his head and slowly looked at Cha Wenbin, saying: "Wenbin, I think I saw that place you mentioned, I might have really been there..."

  "Are you okay?"

  Fatso shook his head repeatedly: "Nothing, but why am I here after all? Even if it's as you said, I should have appeared in that coffin underground."

  On the ground, Cha Wenbin glanced at the spirit tablet and picked it up to hand over to Pangzi, saying: "Double coffins for one day, both literary and martial arts are complete. This spirit tablet is left for me. I always feel that this matter from beginning to end is simply a conspiracy. Zhou Ziyuan has some skills, but he will never calculate until a thousand years later. If he really had such magical powers, would the Southern Song Dynasty have been destroyed?"

  "You mean someone is intentionally messing with us?"

  "Stones, the dead are not scary, at most they become evil spirits. It's the living who are the scariest. The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. Every step of the way, I feel like a chess piece, every move, every person seems to be pre-arranged, where to appear, what to happen, seemingly accidental, yet everything is linked. For example, you suddenly popped out of this coffin, and Ye Qiu also suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a coffin, I don't believe there's any magic that can bring people back to life, if there is, it must be an illusion."

  Fatso asked in surprise: "Are you saying that I was dragged into this coffin? If you hadn't come, wouldn't I have been suffocated to death?"

  "So, don't worry, come with me." As he spoke, Cha Wenbin took the lighter and began to examine the coffin with Pangzi. Sure enough, in a very inconspicuous place, there was a hole the size of a finger. The position of this hole was just right for Pangzi's nose if he lay inside, indicating that when Pangzi entered, he had reserved space for breathing!

  "I was thinking, if it wasn't for this hole, what I should be seeing is your corpse. Now it's almost certain that you were dragged in, and just within the past day or two! Also, I'm telling you something else, under the coffin of Zhou Ziyu next to us, there's a tunnel leading underground, I reckon someone has already gone in."

  Cha Wenbin only now noticed that below the coffin of Zhou Ziyuan, there was a faint trace of movement, it seems that the fox's tail is finally starting to slowly reveal itself.

  "Can we go now?"

  "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry..." The fatty rubbed his growling belly and instantly returned to his usual self.

  Zha Wenbin lost two dry rations in the past, and it's unknown whether Fatty had eaten anything or not during the past two years, or if he hadn't woken up at all. None of that matters now, what's important is that he has to go down immediately, because there's still another person in an unknown location.

  This coffin, when Cha Wenbin was pressed down by it underground that year, he remembered using not much strength to open it easily, and it didn't even feel like the weight of a coffin. But at this moment, Cha Wenbin tried with force, but the coffin was as heavy as a boulder, not moving at all.

  "Come, help out!", unexpectedly, these two people's strength combined to push the coffin from the front still couldn't budge it. To think that Cha Wenbin used to be able to lift it up from underneath, how is this possible?

  "Hey, Old Man Cha, I wonder if that little Ye Qiu has also been dug up?" The fatty said, pointing to the coffin, hinting at Cha Wenbin to take a look.

  Zha Wenbin's purpose in coming here today was to break the evil spirit, but halfway through, a fat man suddenly appeared and someone took a step ahead of him. After thinking about it, he thought that opening the coffin would be good too. However, he felt that something was not quite right, and when he thought back to how easily he had come up with this idea in the first place, he realized that the coffin must have weighed several hundred kilograms at least.

  His mind buzzed for a moment, and he casually said the idea that came to his mind: "I'm so muddled! How come I didn't think of it at the time? It must be someone helping me from above to escape safely! So to speak, when we went down and came up, everything was under their control. They even knew about the existence of this secret passage!"

  Being manipulated amidst applause, Cha Wenbin felt this way for the first time, as if the whole world knew he was running naked, yet still thought he was wearing the emperor's new clothes. If this was a conspiracy, then by now, Cha Wenbin had lost thoroughly.

  Carefully recalling all the details from their past to present, from Northeast China to Zhejiang, from youth to now, and from each person's circumstances, countless fragments were rapidly rotating in Cha Wenbin's mind - where exactly did the problem lie!

  Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he glanced outside unintentionally, saying: "Shitou, you come out with me first, we need to go somewhere to find something!"

  "Here?" The fat man pointed at his feet.

  "Never mind for now!" Zhang Wenbin said: "I must go and verify it!" As he spoke, he pulled Pangzi all the way running towards the village.

  The village of Zhuangyuan has been deserted for a long time, and the few remaining households have also fallen asleep. The fat boy was pulled by him to run wildly, panting, how could he recover so quickly? He repeatedly said: "No way, Cha Ye, you must let me rest."

  "Wait, I'm afraid we won't make it!" As he spoke, Cha Wenbin took the lead and rushed up the slope. Fatso saw Cha Wenbin and kicked open a courtyard door like a bandit, without any reason. Before long, when Fatso finally caught up, Cha Wenbin had already walked out with an iron face, muttering: "Too slow! These sons of turtles!"

  Where is this? Fatso doesn't know, he had gone who-knows-where by then. This is Miss Cheng Ziyin's residence. Cha Wenbin slammed his fist on the gate and said, "You come with me, I reckon she's not in danger for now."

  "Who's in danger? Speak clearly!"

  "A girl, I said why the ancestral hall was so quiet tonight, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm. Let's go to the village office again, I think we'll find some answers we want!"
