Chapter 168: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Hang Xuezhen sighed and continued: "It's a pity that before I reached the age of 21, my grandfather had a premonition that his limit was not much, so he told me in advance that the heirloom of the Hang family was hidden in a secret room at the bottom of the lake, and the passage of the secret room was in a certain house in the castle. "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com
www.Klxsw.com he hoped that if I had the opportunity in the future, he would go to the secret room and write down the qiē recorded on the treasure in his mind, and then seal the secret room forever until the next heir of the Hang family was confirmed, and then tell him the secret. ”
After hearing this, Ma Lie said dumbly: "So, where we are, it is really possible that the secret room of your Hang family, and we are under the new lake?" ”
Hang Xue Zhen said: "I also guess, whether it is or not, I can't confirm it yet!" ”
Hearing her say this, Ma Lie suddenly remembered. Also the night before, he sneaked into the new lake and vaguely found a square space made of glass.
At that time, he suspected that there must be something hidden under the lake, and they were shocked into the bottom of the lake by the aftermath of the rocket explosion, so it was very likely that there was a mechanism or something that sucked the two into this secret room?
Before there is conclusive evidence, the above is just the conjecture of Hang Xuezhen and Ma Lie. The only reality is that they are still alive and have been living together in this airtight dark market for days.
Hang Xuezhen stood up and asked, "Ma Lie, are you hungry, I'll get you something to eat first." ”
"Food, is there anything to eat here?" After her reminder, Ma Lie realized that his limbs were weak and his mind was dizzy, "I guess it's not a serious illness, but hunger."
"Xue Zhen, we've been here for many days, so what do we usually eat and use?"
"Drink water!" With that, Hang Xuezhen got out of bed, walked barefoot to the bottom of the cabinet opposite, and groped for two blue porcelain jars and came back.
Ma Lie looked at the two jars she brought curiously, frowned, and said, "This is filled with water, have you drunk it?" ”
Hang Xuezhen nodded and said: "Well, when I woke up alone yesterday, I felt very hungry, so I looked around here to see what I had to eat, and finally found many such blue porcelain jars in this cabinet." ”
"I opened a jar and saw that it was filled with water, and I was so hungry and thirsty that I didn't care about it, and drank a few sips, and finally my stomach was full of water, and I didn't feel hungry."
"What kind of water is this, so amazing?"
"Well, it's amazing indeed, you take a few sips and taste it!"
"Okay." Ma Lie was surprised, and took a porcelain jar from Hang Xuezhen's hand, feeling a little heavy, estimated to weigh about two catties.
When I opened the sealed lid, I instantly smelled a light fragrance in my nose. Ma Lie tried to take a sip, and instantly felt a sweet mouth in his throat, ordinary water does not have such a light fragrance and sweetness. Nor is it an old wine that is old because he has not tasted any alcohol.
Excluding wine and water, it should be a water with a high nutrient content.
Hang Xue really watched him take a few sips, and asked expectantly, "How do you feel?" ”
Ma Lie said: "Well, after a few sips, I really don't feel hungry." It's strange, what kind of water is this, and will there be any hidden dangers? ”
Hang Xue really smiled: "No, I've drunk it several times, and I've always lived well." ”
Ma Lie guessed, "Oh, that's what the owner of this secret room left to replenish his body's business." ”
Listening to his speculation, Hang Xue really thought of one thing, and suddenly said: "Ma Lie, I remember, I remember that my grandfather often disappeared for a period of time in the past, and my father told me that my grandfather had gone to retreat and recuperate, and if this secret room was built by our Hang family, it was very likely that it was the place where my grandfather used to retreat and recuperate." ”
"Well, it's possible, these waters are very nutritious, and you don't feel hungry after drinking them, and it's really a good tonic for retreat!" As he spoke, Ma Lie found that his limbs seemed to be slowly recovering, and he tried to stretch his waist and stand up, but he was able to stand up.
"Wow, Xue Zhen, see it, I can really stand up!" Ma Lie was very happy, turned around himself, and exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect it, I'm still alive and well." ”
Hang Xue smiled with relief: "Well, I saw it, drink a few more sips to replenish your body." ”
"Don't, let's save a little!" Ma Lie put down the jar, walked to the antique cabinet, tapped his fingers twice, and turned back to ask Hang Xuezhen: "Xuezhen, is there anything else in this cabinet?" ”
Hang Xue was really stunned and said: "I don't know, except for the location under the cabinet, I haven't paid attention to other places." ”
"Can I rummage through this cupboard?" Ma Lie asked cautiously.
After all, the owner of this secret room is most likely Old Man Hang. Hang Xue is really his granddaughter, asking her is equivalent to asking the old man himself, before looking through other people's things, you must first ask the master first.
Hang Xue really knew the taboo in his heart, and said with a smile: "Whatever you want, just be careful yourself." ”
"Thank you!" Ma Lie smiled at her and opened one of the top drawers of the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, the drawer seemed to be locked, and it couldn't be opened no matter how much it was pulled. Ma Lie was afraid that this drawer would be stored for too long, so he didn't want to pull it hard without pulling it.
Of course, he didn't have much energy on him at the moment.
Marlie gave up the top drawer and tried to pull open the middle drawer, but to his disappointment, the middle drawer was also locked.
On the bottom floor of the cabinet were the blue porcelain jars, which were seen to have more than two dozen fills.
If you stay here alone, if you deliberately save money, it is estimated that you can last for about three months with the water in these jars, and it is indeed a place of retreat.
What made Ma Lie curious was the two drawers above, since they were locked, they were definitely not vacant.
He tried to peek with the clairvoyant eye, but found that there was no true qi stored in his body at all, and the see-through eye could not be used. It seems that he really went crazy this time, and the injury was not light.
"Ma Lie, try this key." Hang Xuezhen seemed to see through Ma Lie's thoughts, and found an ancient key from under the bed.
Ma Lie was surprised and asked, "Where did you find this key?" ”
Hang Xue really said: "It's under the pillow." ”
"No, the owner of this secret room is really too sloppy, right?"
Ma Lie was surprised, took the strange key, inserted it into the lock hole of the middle drawer, twisted, and suddenly heard a click, as if some switch had been opened.
Ma Lie tried to pull the drawer out, but his hand sank, and with a 'whoosh', the drawer was finally opened.
By the light of the glowing beads on the ceiling, Ma Lie cautiously looked into the drawer, and first saw a heavy book, a pen and a bottle of ink on the side. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Now that the pen and ink have appeared, the style is supposed to be from the eighties, and with the leather cover of the book, it's almost certain that the contents of this secret room shouldn't be too old.
Ma Lie tried to reach into the drawer, took out the heavy book, turned the first page, and saw three words written with a pen in the lower right corner of the paper: diligence and death!
Turning the second page again, Ma Lie's eyes suddenly flowered, the number of words on the second page was written all over the page, and it was in the old font, the font was very sloppy and messy, it seemed that this person was not so careful to write.
Therefore, Ma Lie had some difficulty watching, but he still saw the basic overview.
The first line reads: Xian'er left, she left silently, I was sad and sad, decided to obey my father's arrangement, gave up my five years of struggle, returned home, and took on the responsibility that I had never undertaken......
After a few minutes on the second page, I saw the end of the third page, dated June 8, 1945! Then I flipped through a few pages, which were basically a paragraph, and then a date ended.
Originally, I thought that this book was the part of the Ziyuan exercises stored by the Hang family. Seeing the date and content mentioned later, and comparing the old font on the paper, Ma Lie was basically certain that this book should be a private diary, and it was written from June 1945.
Seeing this, Ma Lie turned around and asked Hang Xuezhen: "Xuezhen, does your grandfather have the habit of writing a diary?" ”
Hang Xuezhen nodded and said, "Well, when I was a child, I often saw him writing and drawing in a notebook, but when I grew up, I didn't see it much!" ”
Ma Lie asked again: "Then do you recognize your grandfather's handwriting?" ”
Hang Xuezhen saw the notebook in his hand, nodded and said, "You should recognize it, you show it to me." ”
"Okay, you can identify it!" After Ma Lie finished speaking, he put the notebook in front of her, and returned to the cabinet himself, trying to open the drawer above.
Call!
The upper drawer can also be pulled out, and because the upper drawer is relatively high, Ma Lie can only stand on tiptoe to see what is placed in the drawer.
To his surprise, in the upper drawer, there was still a heavy book, the cover of which was the same as the diary just now.
There was no need to check it, Ma Lie had already guessed that it must still be a diary. Because, a person who can start writing a diary in more than 50 years, if he writes one a day, it is estimated that there are several such heavy books.
"Ma Lie, this should be my grandfather's diary!" Hang Xuezhen opened one of the pages and read happily: "Look here, it says: My son Chao'er is actually full moon, and I am happy, but I suddenly find that I haven't started writing for a month." ”
Ma Lie was stunned and asked, "What is the date?" ”
Hang Xuezhen said: "On August 1, 1954, according to the record in this diary, the month before was my father's birthday, yes, this book is definitely my grandfather's diary." ”
"Well, it's definitely him!"
Ma Lie suddenly said, "In this way, this secret room is indeed the place where your grandfather used to retreat. Ah, by the way, the secret room where the Hang family stores treasures, could it be this secret room......" Halfway through the words, Ma Lie felt like a criminal who coveted other people's treasures, especially in front of Hang Xuezhen, the appearance was too ugly, and he hurriedly shut his mouth
