9. Fuluzhuang
When Yiyang decided to go to Heishuikou to find out the truth of the matter, the old man who was confused seemed to be suddenly sober, why didn't he give us go, he regarded me as Yiyang's third uncle from beginning to end, and said to me: "Three boys, that place is in conflict with your life, you can't go there." ”
The old man's opposition was very resolute, and in the end, he couldn't leave the old man alone at home, Yiyang himself said that he only had one relative here, his grandfather, and no one could entrust him, and he hadn't left his grandfather when he was so old, so the current situation was indeed a little difficult.
In fact, I didn't want to go to that Heishuikou, I listened to you very tightly, I persuaded Yiyang: "Your grandfather must have his reasons for such opposition, otherwise he would not have been so resolute." ”
However, things changed the next day, because Yiyang's grandfather disappeared early the next morning. In Yiyang's words, he didn't notice anything unusual, and he didn't know when the old man had disappeared.
I remembered that the old man was not at home before, and the old man just went out, but he didn't find his whereabouts for the time being. But this time it was obviously different, because there was no trace of the old man until noon, and at this time we all thought that the old man must have gone somewhere, and Yiyang thought that the old man must have gone to Heishuikou.
He said that yesterday the old man so strongly opposed it didn't seem to have returned to that state of dementia, he must have gone to Heishuikou alone, as for why he went, I don't know for the time being, in fact, I also have a faint idea in my heart, but I didn't say it, I said: " Your grandfather has always wanted to find out the truth about your third uncle's death, and judging from your description of the hexagram, the reason why he has become like this now is also related to your third uncle's affairs, so now that he knows that your third uncle's death is related to Heishuikou, it is natural to go there. ”
But Yiyang retorted and said: "My grandfather has always known that my third uncle has been to Heishuikou, but I don't know, because he never mentioned it, if he hadn't said it yesterday, I wouldn't have known that there was still this stubble, but after so many years, why did my grandfather never go to Heishuikou to find the truth, but he went at this time?"
I couldn't answer this question, and Yiyang asked me, "Stone, are you going to Heishuikou?"
When I think of these things about myself, I hardly hesitate to say, "Go!"
So Yiyang and I went to Heishuikou on the same day, in fact, this place is not far away, just north of this city, and now it is not called Heishuikou, but has long been renamed Fuluzhuang, probably this place is too unlucky, so the people who developed this place gave such a name.
We arrived there at noon, and when we got there, we found that the place where we got off was about four or five kilometers away from Fuluzhuang, and this place seemed to be on the edge of the city, but in fact it was separated by a mountain forest, which seemed to be formed naturally, and it was not passive, directly separating the city from Fuluzhuang.
We enter from the artificially built plank road, the more we go in, the more we feel gloomy, until we can vaguely see some buildings of Fuluzhuang, after passing through a memorial arch, it is considered to have officially entered here, the archway is written on Fuluzhuang, but the name seems a little ironic in this gloomy environment, and there is a strange weirdness in it.
From the way we entered, it was indeed an almost forgotten place, all the way through the boardwalk has grown grass, covered with leaves, neither maintained nor entered, all the houses inside are only half built, giving people a sense of desertion.
I don't know if it's psychological, but when I saw these houses, it was like seeing a grave, and I couldn't help but shiver, and I said, "Sure enough, this place gives people a very weird feeling." ”
Yiyang said: "I have lived here for so long, I have no idea that there is such a place. ”
Don't talk about Yiyang, it's the first time I've known that there is such a place here, and I haven't even heard any legends about this place, it stands to reason that such a strange and weird place should be passed on, but this place seems to have disappeared from everyone's mouth, and there is no trace at all.
We walked in a bit, and I couldn't see anything, so I asked Yiyang, "Can you notice anything?"
Yiyang said: "I just feel that the yin qi is heavier than the outside, and I really can't see anything else, it seems to be an ordinary abandoned place." ”
Hearing Yiyang say this, my heart sank a little, the more I can't see the problem, the more it means that there is a problem, and since I entered here, although I can't see anything on the surface, there is always a feeling in my heart that something is wrong, I can't say it, I just feel that something is not right.
It is indeed a small town built here, and from what we know, it was originally intended to be built into a resort town, but it was abandoned for unknown reasons. Since it is a small town, it is the layout and appearance of a small town, so after we entered, we saw that there were street signs on it, and the first street sign we saw was Changfeng Street.
When I saw the three words Changfeng Street, I was stunned for a moment, I looked at Yiyang and said, "This is Changfeng Street." ”
Saying that, I walked to the side of the house and looked at the house number, and found that the house number was 349, and the further you went inside, the smaller the number, that is to say, No. 4 Changfeng Street, it should be in the innermost, and the number arrangement here is upside down.
Yiyang didn't speak, but also looked at the house numbers, and after a while he said, "Why do you say that the people who built this place only changed the name of the place, but did not change the rest of the names, but continued to use them?"
Again, I can't answer the question, but when I think about it, there seems to be something unreasonable here, and I said, "Isn't it more strange that this was a mass grave at first, and then a cemetery, and why a cemetery still has a street?"
Yiyang had apparently thought of this as well, and he said, "It's really weird. ”
We walked a little way in, and we saw a lake, the lake is not big, because no one takes care of it all the year round, it is full of weeds and moss, and the pond is full of weeds, and the houses in the town follow the eyes of both sides of the lake, Yiyang looked at the houses inside and said, "The words of the 4th are in the inner room." ”
As he spoke, Owen looked ahead, but coldly saw something in front of him, and I said to Yiyang, "What's that?"
When we got closer, we saw that it was a paper figure, and it fell to the ground, which seemed a little more abrupt than the desolation of this place, because no matter where we looked at it, it seemed to have fallen here recently.
Yiyang said: "It's my grandfather's paper figure." ”
I asked, "Are you sure?"
Yiyang said: "My grandfather is used to using paper people for divination, just like the last time he helped you solve the hexagram, he also used a paper stick, than using money for divination, he is more accustomed to using white paper, I can't learn it, so I have always only used coins." ”
I took it and took a look, and sure enough, I found that there was a hexagram mark left on the paper figure, but it had disappeared, it should be that the old man used this paper figure to make divination, and then it was discarded.
I said, "In that case, your grandfather did come here." ”
Yiyang said: "My grandfather hasn't used these things in years, which makes me wonder what happened?"
I said, "Since this is a trick that your grandfather used well, then it means that he should be here, this place is so big, he will always find it, maybe he is in it, maybe he is in it, not necessarily." ”
Yiyang's brows were furrowed, he didn't seem to be as optimistic as I was, he seemed to be worried about something, which made me feel as if he had something on his mind, as if he was hiding something from me in this matter, and there was something I didn't know yet.
