Chapter 4: The Secret of the Diary

The old fisherman's hint made Ouyang Yuan find out, something was wrong from the second day after he came back from the old mansion in Shanghai, this old mansion has not been to since Ouyang Ting was bitten by rats, this matter has always been hidden in Ouyang Yuan's heart like a knot, and when the old mansion was demolished and returned this time, there was nothing abnormal. But when it came to animals, Ouyang Yuan had an idea in his heart, and he needed to verify this idea.

Ouyang Yuan waited until noon when Ouyang Ting got out of school, asked Ouyang Ting to take care of his mother and sister, and rushed to the border police station alone to find the police who handled the case last time, "Did you test whether the animal carcasses were poisonous last time?" ”

"Teacher Ouyang, this is not the case, the animal was bitten like this, do you think it was poisoned and then dismembered? But there are tooth marks on it, it shouldn't be artificial, you can go back with confidence! It's okay! The policeman was very enthusiastic about Ouyang Yuan's arrival, but he did not question his judgment, after all, he had been a police officer for many years, and he could judge man-made cases at a glance, and then he was just looking for evidence, and a set of rules had been formed.

"I'd like you to test if it's poisonous, okay?" Ouyang Yuan wanted to confirm what he thought in his heart, and the police couldn't refuse when they saw Ouyang Yuan's persistence, "Then please go back and wait, okay?" ”

Ouyang Yuan returned home and searched everywhere with a stick, he had actually confirmed his guess, he could bite Ouyang Ting like that at the beginning, and today he would naturally have a way to dismember these cats and dogs, but he didn't know how this thing came to the house. Ouyang Yuan was almost rummaging through the cabinets, he must kill this thing. But the more I searched, the more frightened I became, it turned out that there were still some snake and mouse corpses in some caves and potholes at home, no wonder there was often a peculiar smell at home.

If it was found so easily, this thing would not have lived so long, and it would have been able to follow him to the house, Ouyang Yuan was tired and panting, sitting on the chair weakly, and looking at Ouyang Ting's homework book casually. Ouyang Ting is Ouyang Yuan's heart disease, he often fights in the school, and he can often break his head and bleed and continue, and even almost killed him a few times, and even some teachers in the school stayed away. I didn't get into high school, and I stayed in school to suspend my studies, and the school was originally going to be expelled, so how could I still suspend my studies, it was all Ouyang Yuanqiu who reluctantly agreed to the principal.

Ouyang Yuan didn't expect that Ouyang Ting had been studying quite seriously recently, and his handwriting was also very neat, so he immediately blamed himself, didn't see his son's changes, and didn't give him encouragement. Suddenly, a yellow piece of iron fell from the book in his hand, and the iron piece smashed to the ground with a sound, and when he picked it up, he saw that the weight did not seem to be iron but like gold, and a few lines of words were vaguely engraved on it, "The remnants of the Book of Mountains and Seas: Money and Rat, Shaped like a mouse, but not a mouse, the gold thread is from the forehead to the tail, and it is also shining in the moonlight." This thing is a flash in ten thousand years, and the person who sees this thing is rich in the world......" The handwriting behind it is also unclear, and he naturally knows this Book of Mountains and Seas, but he has never heard of any remnants of the Book of Mountains and Seas, but it mentions rats, and the word rat makes him sensitive.

When Ouyang Ting was bitten, he mentioned a rat, this gold piece is definitely not his own thing, why does this mention the money mouse, what kind of rat is this? Only when you meet Ouyang Ting and ask about the origin of this thing.

The phone rang, it was the phone from the police station, "Teacher Ouyang?" We have just identified that animal carcasses are indeed poisonous, how do you know that they are poisonous! ”

"I don't know, it's just connected to a previous incident, and now I'm also investigating what happened, thank you!" Ouyang Yuan confirmed what he thought in his heart, and even more affirmed that this was indeed a mouse, or something similar to a mouse. The police station didn't pay too much attention to this matter, after all, no lives were hurt, and things like cats and dogs were only handled by them.

Ouyang Yuan hurriedly came to the hospital, pulled Ouyang Ting to a secluded place, and took out the gold sticker, "Where did you get this thing?" Ouyang Ting was very disgusted by his father's questioning, "One is not stealing, and the other is not robbing, what's the matter, I can't have my own things!" ”

Ouyang Yuan himself was in a hurry, after all, the matter was related to the safety of the family, and he didn't consider that Ouyang Ting was now in a rebellious period, so he slapped Ouyang Ting. Ouyang Ting felt very aggrieved, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Ouyang Yuan, "Xiao Ting, I'm not asking you what the origin of this is, this thing has something to do with what happened recently, your mother, your sister are in the hospital now, we have to find out the reason!" ”

Ouyang Ting tilted his head aggrievedly and didn't look at Ouyang Yuan, tears rolled in his eyes, but thinking of his mother and sister, he still explained the origin of this thing, and told his father that he still had a diary, but the whistle was not mentioned.

Ouyang Yuan asked Ouyang Ting to accompany his mother and sister here at night, and he hurried home on a bicycle alone to find the diary.

This diary was nothing in the eyes of Ouyang Ting, who had not finished reading it qualitatively, but in Ouyang Yuan's eyes, it was like the curtain of the stage had been opened, and many doubts in his heart were either getting deeper and deeper, or becoming clearer and clearer.

This diary is Ouyang Yuan's grandfather, Ouyang Yiming. What kind of person is Ouyang Yiming, his father has never sued him, but he knows that Ouyang Yiming is a famous ruffian in Shanghai, so brave and ruthless, even foreigners in the concession respect him for three points, and later when he is old, he washes his hands and hides himself, and buys a field in the suburbs of Shanghai and becomes a landlord.

But when he saw this diary, Ouyang Yuan knew that he knew too little about his grandfather, who had never met, his father Ouyang Yi was born to Ouyang Yiming's youngest wife, when Ouyang Yi was born, this Ouyang Yiming was in his sixties, so for Ouyang Yuan, he only had a grandmother since he was a child, and there was no grandfather. Later, in the war, Ouyang Yiming's sons died in battle, and they were exiled, and there was no more whereabouts, only Ouyang Yi still lived in this old mansion.

To Ouyang Yuan's surprise, the beginning of this diary also mentioned the statement of the money mouse, but the words were messy and the expression was not accurate. The latter content completely subverts the cognition of an intellectual like Ouyang Yuan, which mentions words such as Nanyang demons and soul attractors that he has never heard of, and these things that were characterized as superstitious and anti-human as early as the early days of liberation appear in Ouyang Yiming's diary. In addition, there are some recorded black words of mixed society, such as who killed whom, who was bought by whom, etc., and there are some Japanese names and Western names, in short, there seems to be a little trajectory in the chaos.

Ouyang Yuan decided that he wanted to sort out this diary, restore the real life of Ouyang Yiming back then, figure out the mystery of the money mouse, and also figure out the reason for the crisis in today's family, so there is the following story.
