The next morning, Man Yuanyi came to find me in a hurry. Seeing that I was still standing in front of him safe and sound, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, it was as if I had experienced a life-and-death situation last night!
Man Yuanyi patted me on the shoulder and said, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
I rolled my eyes and took out the Republic of China ID card I found at the door last night. "I'm not going to die that easily. But here, let me see it."
Man Yuanyi took a look at it, then threw it away out of shock: "How...how did you get this?"
I said I picked it up at the door last night and told him about the nail grinding.
Man Yuanyi seemed very surprised: "Is there such a thing? According to common sense, you should have been in trouble by now..."
According to common sense? Something happened to me?
Damn it, you actually cursed me?
"You are fine, which means things are looking up! I'll take you to see my cousin." Man Yuanyi said and took me to the hall.
I had picked up my ID card and hidden it in my pocket. When I met Ning Changfeng, Man Yuanyi told him everything that had happened. Ning Changfeng's face, which had always been calm and serious, suddenly twitched, and a hint of surprise appeared in the corner of his eyes: "So, she didn't kill you?"
I was a little confused: "Why did she want to kill me? And who are you referring to when you say 'she'?"
Ning Changfeng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Yuan Yi, it's getting late. You should take Ah Xue to the Xi family to prepare. This dance tonight is prepared for her, and she must be there."
Man Yuanyi nodded, looked at me, and left.
Now Ning Changfeng and I are the only ones left in the hall.
After a while, Ning Changfeng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Yuan Yi has already told you, right? Our East and West families are both descendants of the twelve branches of the Miao ethnic group?"
I nodded. "The Ning family's original surname is Ge Pu. You're Ge Pu Changfeng, Ning Xue is Ge Pu Xue... The person on the ID card is also Miao, also with the surname Ge Pu, Ge Pu Lan. What's going on?"
Ning Changfeng's eyes darkened and he said, "It's a long story. Since you want to know, I'll take you to a place."
I nodded, went back to the guest room to pack my things, put the blue talisman I had just made in my bag, and headed out with my backpack. Ning Changfeng said he was taking me somewhere, and he even called Huo Liang and Zhao Xi along. What the hell was he planning on doing?
The driver drove a Rolls-Royce and took us away from Ningjiazhuang. I heard that he was taking us to Lexian Village, Shajing, Nanning.
The car drove to the north of Huangzhangling, where there is a thousand-person grave. It is said to be a collective burial tomb for compatriots killed by Japanese invaders in Shajing, Nanning between 1939 and 1940, including a small number of Miao people.
Although it is called the Thousand-Person Grave, there are more than a thousand people buried there, perhaps even more! Some people who are not afraid of death often come here at night to explore ghosts and use cameras to record and watch ghosts. It is said that ghosts can be photographed by hanging willow branches or cut grass on the camera head. Whether it is true or not is not clear.
"The Ge Pu Lan you mentioned is the woman from the Republic of China whom you have seen and heard in the past few days. There were several foreign guests who stayed in my Ningjiazhuang and encountered the same thing as you, but they died on the third night." Ning Changfeng said meaningfully.
"Then why didn't anything happen to me?" I frowned slightly. Is this what Man Yuanyi meant by "According to common sense, something bad should have happened to me today"?
Ning Changfeng said: "Maybe you are special."
I rolled my eyes. This reason was too far-fetched!
As we were talking, we had arrived in front of the so-called Thousand People's Tomb. The tomb was covered on three sides by a large area of lush green grass. In front of it stood a stone tablet with three big characters "Thousand People's Tomb" written on it, and some small characters next to it, such as "Nanning Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".
Ning Changfeng pointed at the Thousand Massacre Grave and said, "The Ge Pulan incident is inextricably linked to Axue. I specifically asked Yuan Yi to take Axue to the Xi family first to get rid of her. —Don't you want to know what happened to that Republican woman Ge Pulan? Once you enter this Thousand Massacre Grave, you'll know why."
Also connected with Ning Xue?
My brows furrowed even tighter. Besides, this Thousand-Person Tomb was blocked by a huge rock, and there was no entrance. How could one get in? I had already seen Ning Changfeng walk up and pat the rock twice. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the rock slowly opened to one side, revealing a dark, deep hole as tall as a man.
