To be honest, because he had some general understanding of Lao Zheng from his quiet mouth in advance, Pang Xuefeng didn't feel anything wrong when he saw Lao Zheng coming out of his study with a thick big hardcover book.

On the contrary, Pang Xuefeng has roughly guessed that this big hardcover book is likely to record some stories about Dongmin Lane that Lao Zheng once collected.

But if there are still physical clues, it not only greatly exceeds Pang Xuefeng's expectations, but also makes Pang Xuefeng, who has been troubled by the Dongmin Lane incident for two days, suddenly excited.

But when he picked it up and looked at it, Pang Xuefeng immediately had a feeling of staring at him with big eyes, because this was just a black stone.

It looked like a pebble, a little smaller than a normal quail egg.

And out of "professional sensitivity", Pang Xuefeng used his divine sense to scan this stone as soon as he got it in his hand.

But not to mention what heaven and earth vitality is contained in it, there is not even a fart, it is just a serious stone of eight hundred.

"Uncle Zheng, what is this?"

After looking over and over again, he didn't see any way, so Pang Xuefeng had to look at Lao Zheng helplessly.

However, not only Pang Xuefeng, but even Jing Jing and Huang Junyuan didn't expect that Lao Zheng just smiled after hearing Pang Xuefeng's words, and then said something that made everyone's jaw almost hit the ground.

"Actually...... This thing...... I don't know what it is. ”

However, although Pang Xuefeng and Huang Junyuan couldn't say anything, they couldn't hold back at this time, and laughed out loud.

"I said, uncle, how can you learn the old naughty boy now, make fun of us young people, huh?"

However, Lao Zheng just lit another cigarette for himself, and then said with a smile, "Where do I dare to joke with you like this, it's not good, the next time I come, there will be no smoke and no tea, I won't do this loss-making business." ”

But it's a joke, and when he said this, Lao Zheng suddenly changed his tone and said, "However, this thing is indeed related to the Dongmin Lane that Xiao Pang talked about." ”

To tell the truth, Pang Xuefeng had already begun to think about what excuse to say goodbye at this time, but when he heard the second half of Lao Zheng's words, his attention was immediately attracted.

"Uncle Zheng, what are you talking about? This stone and ...... Dongmin Lane?"

Lao Zheng smiled and nodded, but he didn't say anything, just put the cigarette in his mouth, and then took the thick and big black hardcover book and opened it.

And Pang Xuefeng also found out at this time that this may be a book that includes all kinds of legends and anecdotes, but it is done quite seriously, because on the first page of the page, Lao Zheng actually made a detailed table of contents and page number index.

And Lao Zheng also looked for it next to each other in the catalog index, and then he directly turned to one of the pages.

Later, although he still didn't say anything, he directly handed the book to Pang Xuefeng.

"No, the right half of the page, the serial number 56 of this, Xiao Pang, you take a look for yourself first. ”

Pang Xuefeng didn't ask anything more at this time, and couldn't wait to take it after he took it quickly.

These contents are all handwritten, and Lao Zheng's personal handwriting is also very heavy, but if you distinguish them carefully, Pang Xuefeng can barely understand them.

The content is roughly about the No. 17 courtyard in the north of Dongmin Lane Road, and there is a family surnamed Yuan.

The family surnamed Yuan originally had a total of five children, two old people and three children, which was considered a large family.

However, with the death of Lao Yuantou'er's wife due to illness, and the eldest son and second daughter, one of whom entered the army and the other married away from home, only Lao Yuan Touer and his youngest daughter lived in the family.

But I don't know why, during that time, strange things always happened in this family.

First of all, Lao Yuan Tou'er, always said that strangers broke into his house in the middle of the night, but he didn't steal or rob, but as if passing by, he drilled into the wall of their main house.

To be honest, if Old Yuan Tou'er said that his family was robbed in the middle of the night, even if everyone didn't see the thief, there would be nothing too exaggerated at all.

Because from ancient times to the present, the thief has never broken the incense.

However, the problem is that Old Yuan Tou'er has repeatedly said that these people who come to his house at night do not steal or rob, and they do just walk towards the wall.

In this way, people think that Old Yuan Tou'er is talking a little crazy.

Because if this is true, then wouldn't you have met a Maoshan Taoist priest who knows how to pierce walls?

But no matter what, the old neighbors in the neighborhood still understand Old Yuan Tou'er.

Because after all, they have lived next to each other for many years, so they basically can't steal anyone's family affairs.

also knows that there is only such a father and daughter left in a lively family of five, and the old Yuan Tou'er must not feel very comfortable in his heart.

So I basically thought that this was what the old Yuan Touer thought about his wife and children.

But not long after, even the only youngest daughter next to Old Yuan Tou'er actually said exactly the same thing as Old Yuan Tou'er.

And the old Yuan Tou'er was able to keep smoking with a bitter face after the incident, but the youngest daughter was still young at that time, and she was a girl, so several times, she was suddenly scared and screamed in the night.

Not only the neighbors next to each other, but even the entire compound could hear it clearly.

So after such a back and forth, although some people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, some people are still quite sympathetic to Old Yuan Tou'er, but some people can take the opportunity to talk about the wind and cold.

Not only that, but it's also very ugly.

Some even said that since Lao Yuan Touer had no wife by his side, he began to play the idea of a young daughter who had not yet married.

And the reason why the youngest daughter screamed in the big night was actually because of the old Yuan'er.

Because of this matter, the old Yuan Touer and the gossip people quarreled a lot, and a few times they even picked up the guy and started to move, if it wasn't for the neighbors to stop him, there would really be a big incident.

But as time goes by, maybe Old Man Yuan is old after all, and he doesn't have so much energy to continue to talk about this matter with others, maybe what he said is true, so he was stimulated by something.

So for a long time afterward, in addition to seeing the increasingly heavy dark circles under the eyes of the old Yuan Touer, that is, the old Yuan Touer became more and more silent.

Until one day, I don't know why, Lao Yuan Tou'er temporarily settled his little daughter in a relative's house on the grounds of going far away.

But on the night of that day, people found that Old Yuan Tou'er did not go far, but squatted silently at the door of the house by himself, smoking by himself, and turned his head to look into the house from time to time.

However, on the night of that day, a fire suddenly broke out in the old Yuan's house, and the fire spread so fast that the neighbor's house was also burned.

If everyone hadn't woken up and quickly put out the fire with a leather hose connected to the faucet, the consequences would have been really unimaginable.

But the strange thing is that just when everyone was in a hurry to put out the fire, they found that Old Yuan Touer was standing in the main house of his house, silently looking at the wall.

It is said that Old Yuan Tou'er still had a smile on his face at that time, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel numb.

More than 20 years ago, there was nothing to zero, but the fire was not a trivial matter after all, so it alarmed the fire brigade and the local police station.

At that time, although there was already natural gas, in the large courtyard where Lao Yuan Touer lived, most of them still burned briquettes for cooking and heating.

Although there are a few households with liquefied gas tanks, it was definitely a very foreign thing at that time.

However, the problem is that there is no natural gas and no liquefied gas tank in the old Yuan's house, and the only briquette fire is in the simple kitchen built with bricks and asbestos tiles outside the house.

What's even more incomprehensible to the neighbors is that although the fire almost burned the roof of the old Yuan Touer's house, the kitchen outside the house was also affected.

However, it was later discovered that the briquette fire had actually burned through and then extinguished itself.

So the question is, where did this fire come from?

So after the police station and the fire brigade jointly investigated the scene, they unanimously concluded that this was a man-made arson-fire-case, and the person who set the fire was Lao Yuan Touer himself.

However, if it is said that Lao Yuan Touer just burned his own house, he would not say anything, but because it affected the neighbor's house, Lao Yuan Touer was finally taken away by the people from the police station.

However, according to a neighbor who was taken to investigate, after arriving at the police station, old Yuan Touer was just silent at first.

But then gradually he began to talk nonsense, as if he was talking to someone.

In the end, it was even worse, Old Yuan Tou'er suddenly jumped up irritably, hitting and kicking at the air, as if he was fighting with someone.

It might not be like that during the day, but it was in the middle of the night.

So even though there were several on duty at the police station at that time, how to look at it made people's hairs stand on end.

Not only that, but Old Man Yuan also kept yelling while doing it.

"Don't run, I know you, every time you come, you will throw out such a broken stone first, and I won't admit it if you kill me!"
