Prologue 9 A mysterious little book
Zhang Jizu and Ali noticed the sound of "clanging" metal hitting from the big tree, Zhang Jizu pointed to the three bamboo poles on the ground and said: "This unknown tree grows tall and straight, and it is impossible to climb the mountain, so the function of these bamboo poles should be like this." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ali, see if you can connect them. ”
Ali agreed, squatting on the ground and pounding the bamboo poles on the ground, not to mention, these bamboo poles have indeed been treated, each of which is different in thickness, both ends are hollow, and the thinner one can just be inserted into the front end of the thicker bamboo pole, and a small iron hook is embedded in the front one, so that each one has three bamboo poles one person high and connected together, becoming a stable and long large bamboo pole. Although Ali has great strength, but a person still needs to be careful when picking up the bamboo pole, Zhang Jizu is holding a horse lantern on the side to illuminate Ali, the two people slowly moved to the bottom of the tree, the branches and leaves of the big tree are extremely dense, although there is moonlight, but standing under the tree can not see a little light, so you can only rely on listening, Zhang Jizu simply put the horse lantern on the ground, and also went up to help Ali hold the bamboo pole, the two people used the bamboo pole to pluck the branches, while listening carefully to the sound, "jingling" two slight sounds reached the ears of the two again, At the same time, the bamboo pole in his hand also felt that he had touched something, and it seemed that it was here. Ali asked Zhang Jizu to let go of his hand and stepped aside, he was worried that something would fall and hit the young master for a while. Ali himself held the bamboo pole and slowly moved back and forth in the place where the sound just came, "jingling" sounded again, and the small iron hook on the bamboo pole seemed to have hooked something, Ali exerted his hands and put the bamboo pole into his arms, seeing a black thing falling from the tree, Ali hurriedly dodged to the side, at the same time, the thing also fell to the ground, making a dull sound, but it didn't look like a metal sound.
Zhang Jizu raised the lantern and walked over, illuminated with the light, and really saw a small ring made of thin iron sheets, and several small holes were arranged on the iron ring in turn, and a key was hung on each small hole, which seemed to be indeed as he expected, but Zhang Jizu soon found that there was a small black cloth burden under the iron ring, no wonder this thing did not hear the sound of metal when it landed just now, it turned out that the iron ring was still tied to a bag of things. Zhang Jizu picked up the iron ring and the black bag from the ground, took a closer look at it, there were five small holes on the iron ring, except for the third small hole without lettering, the remaining small holes seemed to be engraved with a word below, but the light outside was too dark, and the words were too small, Zhang Jizu did not recognize these words for a while. "Why are there five keys in six rooms? And why are these keys hidden in this big tree? This is indeed a little strange, but since he got the key, he opened the door first, so Zhang Jizu untied the small iron ring and handed it to Ali, and said: "Ali, you go and try it, see which key can open the lock." ”
"Okay!" Ali put the bamboo pole against the big tree temporarily, and then took the key and strode towards the white house just now, Zhang Jizu opened the black cloth bag left in his hand, and followed Ali towards the row house, the small cloth bag had no weight, Zhang Jizu untied the buckle on the cloth bag and found that there was only a small book in the cloth bag, Zhang Jizu used the lamp in his hand to turn a few pages, the small book was densely packed with some numbers that seemed to be written, and he couldn't figure out what it was, so he put the small book in his pocket.
At this time, Ali had already tried the right key and opened the door lock. Zhang Jizu followed Ali into this room, this time because of the light source, so the layout of the room can be seen at once, the layout of this room is almost the same as the next one, there is also a bed against the north wall, the bedding on the bed is neatly folded, and there is also a table of eight immortals in the center of the ground, but there is no stove in this room, a large water tank and the like, it seems that it should be just a bedroom.
"It smells so earthy, no one has lived in this house for a while." Ali said casually, and at the same time turned on another horse lamp on the table of the Eight Immortals. Now I can see the change clearly, Ali is right, this room is different from the first room, the simple furniture is covered with a thick layer of dust, and there is some dust on the ground, there are these footprints on it, which should have been left by Zhang Jizu and Ali just now. Zhang Jizu walked around the house again, and found nothing else, so he returned to the first room with Ali.
"Gollum Gollum", "Huh? What is the sound? Zhang Jizu looked at Ali and asked, because the strange sound seemed to come from Ali. Ali touched his head and smirked, "Young master, I'm hungry!" ”。
Isn't it, since they returned to Taozhen, the master and servant haven't eaten a bite yet? Zhang Jizu is also feeling hungry for the first time now.
"Ali, do you know how to cook?" Zhang Jizu asked.
"Young master, of course Ali can cook, you rest first, I'll go find some firewood." Ali said and went out, and after a while, he brought back a large number of dry branches, lit a fire, washed rice, and cooked rice. For a while, the fragrance of rice wafted everywhere in the whole house, so greedy that Zhang Jizu couldn't stop swallowing saliva, Ah Li found the dishes and chopsticks from a bamboo basket in the house, first filled a bowl for Zhang Jizu, and then filled a bowl of rice himself, and then squatted on the ground and ate it. Zhang Jizu is really hungry, just a bowl of rice in front of him is like seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the food is so fragrant! In this way, the master and servant sat at the table, the other squatted on the ground, and the wind and clouds actually ate a large pot of white rice, Zhang Jizu grew up and ate so much rice for the first time.
After the person had eaten and drunk enough, the sleepiness crept up, and the room next to it had been empty for a long time, and there was dust everywhere, and now it was impossible to live again, so the master and servant had to live in one room, but there was a good response. Ali let the young master sleep on the bed, and he took the bedding next door, shook off the dust, found a few planks and laid a simple bunk on the ground, and then fell asleep, and after a while he made a thunderous snoring sound. Although Zhang Jizu's body is also very tired, after all, he is the real experiencer of all this, at this time everything is quiet, but he can't sleep, and the scenes of the past are scrolling back and forth in front of him like photos. Thinking of what happened to him, his current situation, and his deceased father, Zhang Jizu couldn't help but feel sad again, what should he do in the future? Zhang Jizu couldn't help but turn over when he thought about it, he felt a gap under his body, and touched it with his hand, only then did he remember the small book that fell from the tree just now. Anyway, I can't sleep now, so Zhang Jizu took out the small book from his pocket and looked at it by the light, but after turning a few pages, Zhang Jizu frowned.
