Chapter 22: Entering the Dark Passage
When we came to Lin Zhengqi's house, it was his daughter who opened the door to greet us. When his daughter saw the two of us, she quickly closed the door.
"Little sister. Open the door, big brother is not a bad person. I knocked on the door and said to Lin Zhengqi's daughter. His daughter was a little arrogant, opened the door, and said to us, "You are not bad people, your father is dead, your mother is in prison, you are not bad people, I hate you!" Zhang Lin and I knocked on the door for a while, only to hear the little girl crying at home.
"Little sister, we didn't hurt your father. Your mom and dad committed a crime and were arrested by the patrol. You have to believe us!" I glanced at Zhang Lin, who clenched his hands and slammed into the door. Fortunately, it was a wooden door, and it was slammed open. The little sister was still crying in the house. Zhang Lin walked over, squatted down, looked at Lin Zhengqi's daughter, and wiped away her tears: "Little sister, don't cry, if you don't dislike it, you will go with your brother in the future, okay?"
"No! I'm going to wait for my mother, I'm going to wait for my father! I'm not going with you!" After saying that, the little sister cried again, and threw the plasticine on the table at us: "You two are bad people, I don't want to see you!" Zhang Lin didn't say anything, just walked out quietly.
"No way, kid, it's all like this. Zhang Lin sighed. I had no choice but to withdraw with Zhang Lin.
"By the way, what are we doing here?" I asked Zhang Lin next to me, and he shook his head. "Anyway, I think it's definitely more than that simple. Do you think, he didn't make any great contributions to Yuncun? How could he be famous far and wide, there must be something strange in this. That's what we're here for. I don't believe that this Lin Zhengqi has nothing else to do except practice evil methods. He said this, and it was not entirely unreasonable. If you are a serious master, who doesn't know where his family lives, who doesn't know what he's doing in a day.
We searched all over his house, but we found nothing.
"Is my inference wrong?" Zhang Lin scratched his head and thought, "Impossible, my inference should be not wrong, how could it be?...... It's really ......" Just when he was distressed, Lin Zhengqi's daughter suddenly ran out. Stand at the door of the room. She wiped her tears, blew her nose, her hair had long been messed up into a chicken nest, and she stood in front of us with tears in her eyes. She hugged the doll and said, "I know Daddy's secret, I'll take you to find it." ”
This made Zhang Lin very happy. "Let's go, little sister. Later, my brother will buy you candy to eat. Zhang Lin hugged Lin Zhengqi's daughter and said. His daughter nodded and led us straight to the living room.
"What are you doing here, there's nothing here. I looked around the living room and said strangely. Lin Zhengqi's daughter took out a fruit knife from the cabinet.
"What are you going to do?" I saw the knife and thought she was going to kill us. "Don't be afraid big brother, I'm not trying to get you. With that, she crouched on the ground, touching the floor as she went. Zhang Lin and I didn't understand what she was going to do.
"By the way, here it is!" Lin Zhengqi's daughter was so happy that she stuck the knife into the gap between the floor tiles. It's also strange, the gap between the floor tiles can't be so big, and a fruit knife can't be inserted so easily. She struggled to warp the floor tiles with a fruit knife. Zhang Lin reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to help her. The strength of the two people was really great, and they warped out the floor tile at once. The scene in front of us stunned us - there was a secret passage under the floor tiles. If you don't look closely, you really can't find it. Lin Zhengqi, a cunning old fox, actually set up a secret passage here, and covered the floor tile with a blanket. Such a clever idea is not easy for ordinary people to guess. Lin Zhengqi's daughter looked at the secret road and couldn't help but shudder. Zhang Lin and I both noticed this phenomenon.
"What's the matter, how shivering. Tell my brother and let my brother hear what is going on. Zhang Lin said.
Lin Zhengqi's daughter slowly walked to Zhang Lin's side, hugged Zhang Lin, and said, "Big brother...... There was a horrible aunt in there, and I could see that aunt every night when I sneaked in with my father. The aunt stuck her head out of the wall and kept looking at me, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go in......"
"Obediently, don't be afraid, my brother protects you. By the way, what's your name, I didn't know your name for a long time. "Zhang Lin has never been so gentle. It seems that this kid is Lolicon.
"I, my name is Lin Xiaoxue, and my mother gave it to me. I am 6 years old and 1 meter tall...... My favorite food is apples. Also, there are bananas...... "This child, when he was nervous, seemed to be in the news, and said so much at once. I burst out laughing. For the sake of convenience, I will call this kid Xiaoxue. It can be seen that Zhang Lin likes this Xiaoxue very much. Zhang Lin smiled and touched Xiaoxue's head. "Xiaoxue is good, don't be afraid, follow my brother, my brother protects you, no one will dare to bully our Xiaoxue!" After speaking, Zhang Lin smiled again. That Xiaoxue also laughed and kissed Zhang Lin's cheek. Emma, such a disgusting scene, I still have to go to the side. Keep the two intimate and intimate. Zhang Lin blushed, blushing for the first time when he saw him. The way he blushes is so cute and funny. Such a big person, still like this, childlike innocence.
"By the way, I almost forgot about business. Zhang Lin turned around, took out a red rope from his pocket, and tied it to Xiaoxue's wrist. "Xiaoxue, this is the bracelet that my brother gave you. Don't untie it when you go inside. This one, it's a willow branch, if you see something terrifying, you can hit him with a willow branch, okay?" Zhang Lin handed the willow branch to Xiaoxue, and she nodded. "That's good!" Zhang Lin touched Xiaoxue's head. "Now, then, let's go inside. ”
"Hmm!" Xiaoxue agreed. I hurriedly followed, and entered the dark passage together. Zhang Lin knocked on the tag on his neck, and the little ghost jumped out all of a sudden.
"Ah!!h The little ghost was beaten all over his body, staring at Zhang Lin with tears in his eyes, hiding in the corner. "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, he's my brother, not a bad person. I see you're about the same age, so let's go play. Zhang Lin explained to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is not afraid. The little ghost also showed two big teeth and smiled at Xiaoxue. He said to Xiaoxue for a while, but Xiaoxue was very strange and asked, "Big brother, I don't understand what your brother said." "It's over, how can you understand what this little ghost is saying. Zhang Lin had his own tricks and said, "Xiaoxue, I sometimes can't understand what my brother says. But whatever you say, he understands. He can do whatever you want him to do. Believe it or not, you see. After speaking, Zhang Lin turned around and said to the little ghost, "Turn around!"
The little imp was obedient and turned around.
"Go to the wall!"
The little ghost didn't look back, and walked towards the wall. Xiao Xue's eyes widened in surprise: "He can actually do acrobatics!
"Not only can he do acrobatics, but he can also do magic. Brother, you can do a magic trick for us. Zhang Lin said to the little ghost. The imp grabbed a lump of mud from the ground, rubbed it twice, and turned into a pigeon. This is not unusual. The imp touched the pigeon's feathers. The pigeon came to life, and with a "poof", flew out.
"Wow! I'm going to learn magic someday!" Xiaoxue clapped her hands and said to us. He ran over, put his arms around the little ghost, and said to him happily, "My name is Xiaoxue, what's your name?"
"Ah...... Ah! His name is Xiao Xiaolin! Yes, Xiao Xiaolin!" Zhang Lin came up with such a name in order to deal with Xiao Xue's problem. It really convinced his creativity and imagination. I burst out laughing. The little ghost also nodded, as if to say, "Yes, yes, my name is Xiao Xiaolin!" The two children, although they were very close, were far apart. They got together in a moment. Laugh together, play together. The naïve Xiaoxue didn't even know that little ghost...... No, Xiao Xiaolin is already dead. That little forest is not as terrible as it was at the beginning, and his dark skin doesn't know when it started, but it slowly turned white. The current Xiao Xiaolin is no different from a normal child. The same height, the same immature face, the same childish heart.
It took so much time to finally polish off Xiaoxue's suspicions. Let her gradually stop being afraid. We headed deeper. As she walked, Xiao Xue cried out: "Ah! That aunt! That aunt is watching me again!" Xiao Xue was frightened and hid behind Xiao Xiaolin. Xiao Xiaolin crossed his hands on his hips and stood in front of Xiao Xue like a big man. I looked in the direction of Xiaoxue's finger. Sure enough, a woman's head poked out, and two blackened eyes stared at us all the time. Ahh
Zhang Lin ...... Look, isn't that the girl? When Zhang Lin heard what I said, he also looked over. "Looks like this girl still has something on her mind...... Let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about it first. Zhang Lin covered Xiaoxue's eyes and walked into the secret door quickly. Xiao Xiaolin also quickly followed.
It was dark inside the secret door, and Xiaoxue said, "Here...... There should be lights. Every time Dad came in, it was brightly lit. After Zhang Lin heard this, he touched the wall. Sure enough, there are lights here. But the lamp ...... It doesn't feel like a light bulb either. "Lend me a lighter. I said to Zhang Lin. He spent a long day tinkering in his backpack and handed me a lighter. As soon as I lit the fire, I saw something in the secret door, which instantly made me break out in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong, why are you shaking?" Zhang Lin asked when he saw my move. I swallowed and said, "It's nothing...... and my hands shook and lit the oil lamp. The room lit up instantly. At this time, Zhang Lin, as well as Xiaoxue below, opened their mouths wide.
"Now you know why I'm in a cold sweat......" I said.
