"It made people cry when they saw me. Zhang Li wiped away her tears and watched the lawyer leave.

None of the relatives noticed her excitement, they were discussing the matter of the will violently, but the content changed from the book collection to the two antique vases and the land and house in the city center, Zhang Li saw that everyone did not notice her, and took the opportunity to walk out quietly, she walked towards the library building, eager to know if Ji Ao heard the news, he would be happy or angry, did he come to the library today.

"What's going on?" she stopped abruptly as she habitually turned into the mezzanine and cried out in surprise, "How did this happen......?

In the past few days, she had walked through the narrow brick road, which was now out of sight, and was greeted by a few concrete pillars on the ground and knee-high weeds.

Zhang Zhiyuan also followed her out, and when he saw her standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and asked, "Meow, what are you doing here?"

"Wangwang, when did so much grass grow here?" Zhang Li asked as she looked at him blankly.

"There's so much grass growing here all the time, and yesterday I came here to catch grasshoppers and bugs to feed the birds. He looked at her strangely.

"No way! I've been here yesterday!" Zhang Li jumped over the concrete pillars and rushed into the mezzanine.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken!" she groped for the wall with her hand, but couldn't find the secret door.

Zhang Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked puzzledly, "Meow, what are you looking for?"

"Secret door. ”

"Secret door, what secret door?" Zhang Zhiyuan touched his head, he looked at her with strange eyes, "How can there be a secret door here?"

"Ji Ao! Ji Ao, are you in there?" Zhang Li hurriedly turned around and ran to the front door. She knocked loudly on the door.

Zhang Zhiyuan followed her anxiously and asked, "Meow Meow, what are you doing? Who is Ji Ao? How can there be someone inside?"

"Ji Ao! Ji Ao ......" Zhang Li shouted more than a dozen times, but there was no sound inside.

She looked back at Zhang Zhiyuan and said with a look of surprise: "No, I've been seeing him these days." He's always in there!"

"How is it possible, this place is so locked, how can you get in?" Zhang Zhiyuan was incredulous.

He entered through the secret door. There's a secret door in the wall, and I've been in there!" Zhang Li went back to the mezzanine to find the secret door, but the wall stood firmly there, and even if she checked closely, she didn't find any extra gaps.

"Is there a secret door in the wall......? I built a secret door to steal books? Meow, don't scare me! You don't have a fever, do you?" Zhang Zhiyuan was very worried.

Zhang Li muttered to herself in despair: "Obviously there is, Ji Ao went in from here to clean and tidy up ......"

"Ji Ao...... Even if there is a secret door for him to enter this building, unless he can be invisible, he will not be able to enter our yard. Not to mention that the gate is facing the residential building, and there are security guards in the yard. Zhang Zhiyuan read the unfamiliar name.

Zhang Li's eyes widened in surprise. She had never thought about how Ji Ao had come into the courtyard.

"Meow, come and take a look," Zhang Zhiyuan leaned on the window and looked into the building, "It's not cleaned at all!"

Zhang Li leaned in and looked in against the windowpane, only to see that the building was full of dust, with cobwebs hanging in the corners, and the books were turned into a mess, which was completely different from her impression of spotlessness.

"What's going on? Is it my hallucination? Impossible! I'm sure I've seen him! By the way, I came back late the night before yesterday, or did you open the door for me, don't you remember? I went out with Ji Ao that night! He also sent me to the door of the house, and he was still standing on the side of the road, didn't you see him?" Zhang Li held on to the windowsill weakly.

"The night before yesterday?" Zhang Zhiyuan stared at her with wide eyes, "You went to bed very early that day, and you didn't get up when I asked you to play cards...... You're not going anywhere. ”

Zhang Li clenched her fists and trembled. She asked, "What? So what have I been through these days?" Who am I with?"

"Isn't it ...... Be...... Is that...... That, right?" Zhang Zhiyuan was convinced that Zhang Li would not lie, he looked at the gloomy library, only felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but shiver.

The two siblings looked at each other in horror, and finally the two of them held hands and fled the place as quickly as possible.

The library took away the collection of books with great care, the house and the land were sold, and the small building, which had been weathered for more than 150 years, began to be demolished. There was also a lot of money from the sale of real estate and antiques, and although it was not possible to fulfill all of everyone's wishes, at least a large part of it was realized, and the dispute between the Zhang family ended, and their happy kinship was restored.

Soon more than ten days passed.

Zhang Li sat in the white snow hall, holding her cheeks and looking out the window, she really couldn't figure out what happened to her in the past few days, she had already vowed not to think about it, but today she was asked out by Zhang Zhiyuan, saying that there was a new discovery. I don't know how much of this guy's so-called new discoveries are real, and how much is the result of his own imagination.

"Meow!" Zhang Zhiyuan shouted in his loud voice as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Li frowned, and made a splash gesture to him with a cup.

"I'll tell you! There's a big discovery!" Zhang Zhiyuan was still so startled, Zhang Li had to quickly make a "soft" gesture to him.

Zhang Zhiyuan lowered his voice, opened his hand to his mouth and said word by word in Zhang Li's ear: "The bones have been dug up under the library building!"

"What bones? Could it be...... Ji Ao ......" Zhang Li trembled in fright, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the cup fell on the table.

"No, it's the Japanese soldiers. ”

"Japan...... Soldiers?"

"The corpses have long been turned into white bones, but from the perspective of gun placement, it should be the Japanese invaders of that year, a total of more than 20 corpses, dug up directly under the building. ”

Zhang Li asked puzzledly: "But this building has been built for more than 150 years. How can the bones of the Anti-Japanese War be buried underneath?"

"Strange is strange here, do you know how they died?" Zhang Zhiyuan blinked mysteriously.

"How did you die?" asked Zhang Li.

"Some of the neck bones were broken, some of the sternums were broken, and some of the skulls were broken in seven or eight pieces — all because of external forces. Zhang Zhiyuan looked at her reaction after speaking.

"External force?" Zhang Li asked in disbelief.

Zhang Zhiyuan stretched out his arms and posed in a martial arts pose.

"Won't you, use your hands?" Zhang Li still had a hard time believing it.

"Do you remember when the Japanese occupied this place, your great-great-grandfather left them alone to protect the books? Maybe it was at that time that they were killed, and the timing coincided, and there was that upheaval, when your great-grandfather used a cane to beat the people who came to destroy it...... Hey, Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan, if you had been born decades earlier, wouldn't you have been able to learn martial arts from your great-grandfather and carry forward the martial arts of the Zhang family? After the death of your great-grandfather, the family tradition of martial arts has been lost, and the descendants of the Zhang family should really cry bitterly in unison......

“…… Have you read too many martial arts novels?" Zhang Li looked out the window and giggled.

She no longer paid attention to Zhang Zhiyuan's rambling chatter, the library building was indeed full of mystery, but she had already decided not to think about it.

"I'll go to the library and check out those books, it's nearby anyway. She took a sip of the snow and thought to herself.

"Tell Ji Ao to come over and ask him to take Miss Zhang to have a look. ”

I heard that it was the people of the Zhang family who wanted to read these books, and the people in the museum received them very warmly, and the curator personally accompanied her to speak and order.

"Ji Ao?" Zhang Li almost shuddered, turning her gaze to the door.

Outside the door came in an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man in his early thirties, she didn't even look at Zhang Li and asked, "Curator, you called me?"

"Ji Ao, you take this Miss Zhang to the No. 20 library to have a look, she is from the Zhang family. The curator instructed Ji Ao, and he introduced to Zhang Li, "Ji Ao has worked here for more than ten years, and he is responsible for calmness, so it is most appropriate for him to take care of those books, you can rest assured." ”

"Ji Ao" stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Li, leading the way in front: "Miss Zhang, please come here." ”

The books were reclassified and numbered and put into special stacks, and some of the rare books were also placed in airtight cabinets with constant temperature and humidity, which were much better than in the Zhangjia Library. "Ji Ao" said that the library is the most modern library built by overseas Chinese, and in order to show the importance of Zhang's collection, the library is specially used to store these books.

"Can I borrow these books?" asked Zhang Li.

"Ji Ao" pointed to the rules on the wall expressionlessly and said: "Books can be read here, but they can't be taken out, and the books borrowed from the library are in the stacks 1-13." ”

Zhang Li smiled relievedly, she stood outside the door, looked at it for a while, and said goodbye without going in, she stood on the steps of the library, the wind was blowing, she looked back and looked again, this matter is over, she doesn't plan to think about it anymore, she believes that no matter what, Ji Ao will keep these books......
