After we returned to America, we met an unexpected airport pick-up. In addition to the medical team arranged by Uncle Xue and Fang Lin through the relationship, the appearance of another group of people made us unexpected. As soon as I entered the waiting hall, I saw a greasy young man in a mink coat pouncing on me and shouting, "Grandpa Hu, please let my brother wait." Come on, come on, get dressed. Washington is already winter. "

I looked at this face in plaster before me, and I couldn't believe that this enthusiastic young man was Wang, the little bastard who almost killed me in the American jungle not long ago.

His messenger was very diligent and bought a woolen coat with a fur collar for each of us. Wang personally handed a coat. She just smiled and didn't accept it. She only said to the ambulance team waiting by: "This lady and her husband are my friends. I'll transfer to the first brain hospital immediately and call Professor Mike. Just say I asked for it. "

Bethune, an American, dared not delay and immediately carried Yang and Fatty out of the waiting hall. Lin, the fat man, kept saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine, we haven't taken a photo yet!" "

At this time, Uncle Xue finally squeezed his head out of the crowd around us. As soon as he saw me, he made an old habit and hugged me tearfully: "You have suffered, boss." Master Wang told me that you are too embarrassed for Brother Janssen. "

I was overwhelmed by those people for a while, but I was sharp-eyed and hit the nail on the head. He drew a windbreaker from Yvonne Wang's right hand and wrapped it around himself, sniffling and saying, "Don't think you should come back early, make a small report and sell it to the old man. I remember all the good things you did! Let's calculate this general ledger later. "

Wang smiled casually, patted four eyes on the cheek and said proudly, "Everyone who knows this is dead, and there is no evidence. What are you suing me for, counselor? "

I don't trust Yang Ping and fatty, so I called four eyes and followed Fang Lin to the ambulance to the hospital. Probably because of Fang Lin's special status, the hospital gave the fat man and Yang Ping special preferential treatment, and arranged them in a VIP room with a single room, and someone took care of them. Except for two stitches in the head, the fat man is basically fine. During his stay in hospital, he either asked everyone about Fang Lin or spent other time in the hospital cafeteria, but he might not be used to American food. He didn't gain weight, but lost two laps for the first time.

Yang Ping's situation is very special. At first, the hospital experts couldn't diagnose the cause of her coma, and then they used many modern instruments to do a general examination, but they still found nothing. Finally, the brain professor Fang Lin invited played a key role.

"In her ear, we found an arthropod, about a centimeter long. It is usually curled into a ball with a white body and a barbed mouth. Although its variety has not yet been developed, from the test paper of brain waves, since the worm was taken out, Miss Yang's consciousness has begun to slowly recover. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up. "

Old Mike is an old friend of the Lins and has a deep friendship with Fang Lin's adoptive father and the old general George who died tragically in the self-immolation incident. With his help, the mystery of Yang Ping's coma has a reasonable explanation, but we still can't know the origin of this round worm soaked in formalin, and whether it was deliberately put on Yang Ping by the "owner" in the mouth of a bamboo pole. If so, how can this bug control people's minds?

Master Xue came to visit us in the hospital. After seeing this insect, he was thoughtful. He said that when he was a horse-legged racing gang on the ancient tea-horse road in his early years, he had heard that there was such a worm among the local ethnic minorities that could grab people's minds. I have seen some legendary Miao witches cast spells with my own eyes, and the strangeness among them is unimaginable to ordinary people. I think this is a very important clue, so please ask Mr. Xue to find an old friend and investigate the origin of Gan Mao.

Because of this, Siyan and the Wangs were completely torn in the face. I heard that during our two days in the hospital, the street of the Chamber of Commerce was very restless and often caused some trouble. Black Helmet, an old acquaintance of ours, came here several times, saying that he wanted to make a statement and asked me to elaborate on what happened these days. I put Yang Ping in a coma every day, so I didn't have time to take care of him. I sent him away with a few perfunctory words. Siyan said that Black Helmet was determined to eat the weight this time and decided that I was the ambassador behind the gang fight. I want to collect evidence and arrest me. I said, counselor, you created this evil, but you can't let me, a good citizen, take the blame. I don't know, replied the "black-hearted" barrister. "Everyone knows that you are the boss. No one will agree to this disaster if you run." Because of this, I stayed in America for another month. Every day, different black suits and sunglasses come to the hospital for questioning, which makes me exhausted and want to strangle my eyes.

I always stay at Yang Ping's bedside and dare not leave for a moment, for fear that she will not see me when she wakes up. Uncle Xue and Qin Siyan came to see me several times in succession and brought me a change of clothes and some convenient supplements.

The attending doctor in Yang Ping is an old man with a white beard named Mike. Fang Lin said that he is a famous American brain doctor and enjoys a high reputation in the world. On this day, old Mike came to make a routine check-up for Yang Ping. I can't hold back my anger any longer. I accused him in broken English: "What kind of doctor are you? She woke up several times on the plane. Why did you enter your hospital without blinking? What do you do as a capitalist doctor? " Do you have Bethune spirit? "

Old Mike is a real American. He can't quite understand my clumsy pronunciation, but my anger has been conveyed truthfully. He patted me and said, "God will bless Yang Ping. The CT results show that her brain has not suffered any damage, and it is only a matter of time before she wakes up. " I was tired of listening to his remarks and immediately punched him in the face.

"Khufu, long time no see, you have made another bad habit."

A familiar female voice just grabbed my fist. I turned my head and saw Yang Ping lying on a white sheet, slightly thin. After returning to America, it was the first time I saw her open her eyes.

"If you want to see me, no problem. Should I put the doctor down first? " She said flatly, I realized that old Mike almost choked to death by me.

"Ha ha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We Chinese and American people have always lived in harmony, peace and friendship. " I patted Dr. Mike on the shoulder and urged him to leave the ward. This ignorant American kept knocking at the door and threatened to let the security guard drag me out of this developing country.

I gave Yang Ping a pillow, let her lie down and lean on it, and gave her a cup of honey water soaked in old cinnamon.

"Eat apples? Orange or pear? Capitalist countries also have their advantages. Even watermelons are available in such a cold day. "

"Well, fortunately, I just slept, not terminally ill." Yang Ping seems to be red in the face, and then seems to think of something, hold my hand and ask, "what about the golden staff? Has the fountain of youth appeared? The murderer, the murderer ... "

Seldom have I seen Yang Ping so excited, so I got up the courage to hold her hand and whispered soothingly, "Let's take our time. What do you want to say one by one? I also have a lot of questions to answer here. "

Yang Pingxian talked about the truth of the museum fire, which is basically similar to my inference. The bamboo pole man was afraid that Dr. Owen would decipher the mystery of the golden seal on the Oracle Bone Inscriptions and stop them from looking for the Inca Temple, so he returned to the office in the middle of the night and wanted to burn the literature. They didn't want Yang Ping and Dr. Owen in the institute, so they simply hurt the murderer, but they never expected that Yang Ping seemed weak, but in fact he was good at it.

"I saw the doctor give up the ghost and chased their car all the way to the border. I tried to call the police at that time, but the radio in the car was broken. Afraid that they would not find any trace after going abroad, they followed them to Mexico. I know these people are just servants working for others, so I followed them carefully until later … "Yang Ping paused, as if remembering something extremely painful, and I encouraged her to say," The sky is falling, and Khufu is carrying it. Just tell me which little beast it is. "

Bully you. "

Yang Ping took a deep breath: "Those who stole masks were killed after delivery." I didn't expect the bamboo pole to be so vicious that even the people I recruited were killed. But it also explains why we didn't fight them in the jungle. From beginning to end, only bamboo poles and shriveled old men competed with us in the dark, while others were just pawns in their hands and zombies controlled by them.

Yang Ping witnessed the tragedy in the Amazon jungle, and at that time, she was discovered. After casting the spell, she has been in a daze and unconscious, and even made actions that hurt us many times. I was afraid to tell her that she cut the rope and shot me. I'm afraid this devout Christian will blame himself too much.

"In his research report, Dr. Owen explained the true meaning of the Inca mask. After losing the city, the last Inca emperor, Huascar, led the rest of the people to flee to the depths of the rainforest, looking for the artifacts left by the founding sage Manqu Qhapaq in the temple of the Sun-three-eye mask, golden axe and golden staff in two. Especially the golden staff left by the sun god to Manqu Qhapaq, it is said that it can detect the location of the fountain of youth. Vascar tried to recapture the empire with immortal power, but in the process of moving the capital, he was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet from Spain. In the next hundred years, most of the remnants of the Inca Empire were scattered in the Amazon jungle. Princess Lilia's tribe was lucky to find a three-eye mask, which made her firmly believe in the legend of the fountain of youth since she was a child. "

I think of the three-eye mask in the old house in Nanjing. Although it is an imitation, the details and materials are exquisite. I'm afraid they were all sent by the later Mrs. Green and Princess Lilia.

"Professor Owen thought that the Greens might have fled the war, so they hid in China. Later, he was killed in the process of looking for the fountain of youth. As for why the originally happy couple are looking for something that is only in fairy tales, it is not known. "

I think of that terrible mansion, and I really don't know how to explain it to Yang Ping. If the Greens were not extremely abnormal, their lives would certainly be happy. Especially the body of the child in the basement ... I can't help asking: "Did Professor Green leave any children or other relatives?"

Yang Ping shook his head: "I don't know. Arguably, their husband and wife have settled in China for so long, and it is time for one or two children to share their family happiness ... "

Her words, like a golden needle, struck my nerves violently. "What did you say? Say what you just said! " I was almost trembling with excitement. Yang Ping said quickly, "Did I say something wrong? Normal couples should have one or two children. Oh, yes, I forgot the national conditions of China people. I can only have one child, but even if it is a child. " Yang Ping said that she was shivering here, and her lips trembled slightly. "Maybe, maybe their children ..."

"Yes, this is the only explanation!" I took a deep breath and explained the secret hidden in Gupinggang's old house. "Their husband and wife life was really happy until Princess Lilia's child died. Worship the sun god, influenced by tribal culture since childhood, she must do everything possible to revive her children. The legend about the artifact and the fountain of youth has been circulated among the Inca Sun clan. So she persuaded her husband to study the forbidden resurrection with her, and collected the remains of various children from underground channels for research. The three-eyed Jin Mianju carried by Princess Lilia became the only sustenance in her heart. "

Yang Ping went on to analyze: "The experiment must have been unsuccessful, otherwise they wouldn't have left China suddenly. I think there must be something important. However, why did they finally go to the Andes? "

I hesitated and asked her, "If you were dying, where would you like to go most?"

"Go home." Yang Ping blurted out and received, "You mean, they couldn't stand the repeated failures of the experiment and finally chose to go back to the San Andes of the Inca Empire to commit suicide?"

"This is just my guess, and can't be established. It is the' master' who walks with a bamboo pole. Do you have any details about him? "

Yang Ping shook his head: "I'm in a daze these days, and I don't know what I'm doing. Until just now, I seemed to be dreaming. However, since he can resist corpse wounding and understand the mystery of Feng Shui, I am afraid that the hidden identity is not simple. "

I always think that shriveled old man has a strange origin. He stayed in the temple with bamboo poles until the end, as if he were not afraid of the danger brought by landslides. An ominous premonition moved faintly in my heart, and I always felt that there was a follow-up article on this matter. These two people will not simply be buried in the ruins. However, Yang Ping recovered from a serious illness. I don't want her to worry too much. I just smiled and said, "If I knew you had been dreaming, I would knock gongs at your bedside every day." Yang Ping smiled and sighed: "How come after so many lives and deaths, you are still like that, full of nonsense." '

I was going to tell her something I had been hiding in my heart for years, but at this moment I didn't want to. Suddenly there was a quick knock at the door. I was too upset to have an attack, so I had to go over and open the door.

Uncle Xue, wrapped in a thick old cotton-padded jacket, said to me, "Boss, what you asked me to do has been completed, and the legal worm has made a start." I entrusted thousands of people to inquire and finally found an expert in how to use it. When he heard about it, he asked to see you by name, saying that he had something to exchange information with you.

Yang Ping nodded at Uncle Xue and asked me, "What's the matter? What do you want to do? "

I took the contact list from Uncle Xue and waved to Yang Ping vigorously: "We have a clue to the withered old man!"

In order to find out the whereabouts and true identity of the withered old man, Fat Man and I decided to return to China, to the south of the colorful clouds, to visit a master of how to use what Mr. Xue called. It is said that he has a vital piece of news, which is related to the shriveled old man. Just as we were about to leave today, a registered letter from China arrived in my hand, which brought unexpected variables to our subsequent trip.
