Seventh: Six coffins
The missing person has returned, regardless of whether he is dead or alive now, at least he has been settled, so the two of us did not delay and set off for Yiyuanzhai.
Hua Muling called a black Audi A6L, and before leaving, she called her second brother in the government security department and told us everything about what happened here.
Her second brother didn't say anything, just asked a few words about the ins and outs, and after caring about whether his sister was injured, he told us to leave first, and leave the rest to him.
With the aftermath of the government's security department, I naturally had no worries, and I was not afraid of those so-called public security experts coming to me, so I followed Hua Muling into the black Audi A6L and drove towards Yiyuanzhai.
There was no word all the way, and after twenty-five minutes, the two of us came to the door of Yiyuanzhai.
At this time, the Yiyuan Zhai Gate was like a market, and there were more than 100 people surrounded by the three layers inside and the outer three floors, blocking the path outside the Yiyuan Zhai Gate.
Seeing this, Hua Muling and I had no choice but to get out of the car early, carrying the poisoned Hou Dayong on our backs and squeezing through the crowd.
These people are all kinds of people, there are people in the lower eight gates, and there are ordinary people who are just passing by to see the excitement, they were originally looking at the excitement, and when they saw someone squeezing over, they couldn't stop scolding: "Uncle, what are you squeezing?" You're stepping on Lao Tzu, don't you know? ”
"Yes, what are you squeezing? Rushing to reincarnate? ”
"Oops, do you have any qualities? Did you touch me? Do you want to eat Lao Niang's tofu? "Many people are scolding, but this woman is the most fierce and the loudest, and the sharp voice makes my ears tingle.
However, Hua Muling and I couldn't care about the endless scolding of these guys at this time, so we just separated the crowd and strode towards Yiyuanzhai.
And those guys turned around and saw that the two of us were fierce and vicious, covered in blood, and there was a big man with a black and purple face on his back, and they all instinctively took a few steps back, flashing a path for the two of us.
If I'm not wrong, the most fierce people who scolded just now should be silently reciting the eight-character mantra of "it's none of your business, hang high" in your heart.
Passing through the crowd gathered at the gate of Yiyuanzhai, Hua Muling and I walked quickly to the middle. However, when I came to the gate of Yiyuanzhai, I couldn't help but be stunned all of a sudden.
Because at this time, there are six huge black coffins parked in front of the door of Yiyuanzhai, the coffins are very peculiar, and the whole body presents a charming dark black, but under the sunlight, there is a faint purple from time to time, and at the same time, there is a faint aroma of Chinese medicinal materials wafting out from inside.
The coffin was nailed, and the lid of the coffin was slanted on the ground to one side, so I could see the person lying inside at a glance.
There are five people lying in the six big black coffins, four men and one woman, needless to say, the women are none other than Hua Muling's mother who disappeared before, and those four men, except for the old man of the Hou family lying in the coffin on the very edge, I know the other three.
"Little Hu Ye, you can be regarded as back!" Just when I was surprised, Uncle Xu, the second leader of Yiyuanzhai, greeted me and said to me: "This time something is wrong." ”
Uncle Xu, formerly known as Xu Yingzhi, although he is not a person in the lower eight gates, but he has followed the birth and death of our old man for more than 30 years, and I don't know how many famous mountains and rivers and the tombs of the dynasty generals have been folded in the hands of a few of them. Even today, several people have changed careers to start an antique business, but when it comes to Xu Yingzhi's name, black and white still have to give some face.
Uncle Xu has always been cool-headed and decisive, and he also has the name of "Xu Zhuge of the white paper fan" on the rivers and lakes. Let's put it this way, I haven't seen him rush into what he is today since I can remember, so it seems that this matter is not much worse today, if not to the extent that the sky has fallen.
Thinking of this, I patted Uncle Xu on the shoulder and asked, "Uncle Xu, don't worry. What the hell is going on? When were these six coffins delivered? ”
Uncle Xu sighed and said, "These six coffins were sent to us about forty minutes ago!" ”
I was surprised, "Do you know who sent these coffins?" ”
Uncle Xu shook his head and sighed, "I don't know! No one knows, either! These six coffins seemed to grow out of the ground, and suddenly appeared at the door of our one-yuan fast. ”
I frowned slightly, and just when I wanted to ask if there was any news of our old man, I was interrupted by Hua Muling on the side.
I only heard Hua Muling say to me: "Hu Tian, come and see this!" ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly turned around and asked, "What?" ”
Hua Muling said: "Just look at it. ”
With that, Hua Muling pulled me to the coffin where her mother was lying, and slowly picked up her mother's hand that had been placed on her chest.
Hua Muling pointed to a slightly red and swollen wound on his wrist and said, "Look here." ”
I took her mother's wrist and looked at it for a while, and found that in the center of the red, swollen area there were two very small cavities, which looked like some kind of bite marks.
I was stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "This ...... Is this a sign of a snake bite? Could it be ......?"
Hua Muling nodded and said, "If you guessed correctly, it should be a five-step blue snail snake in the first vein of Miao Jiang Gu Sect!" ”
I was surprised and asked, "But why don't they have the black and swollen appearance of monkeys?" ”
Hua Muling frowned and said, "Maybe it has something to do with this coffin!" ”
I said, "You mean, this coffin can restrain the poison of the five-step snail snake?" ”
Hua Muling said: "Or more accurately, a certain medicine in this coffin can temporarily restrain the toxicity of this five-step biluo snake. ”
I frowned and said in a deep voice: "There are six coffins, but there are five people inside. Could it be that this sixth empty coffin ......"
Hua Muling took my words and said, "It's for Hou Dayong." ”
I looked at Hua Muling and said, "Or maybe it's for the three of us." ”
Hua Muling said: "For the three of us?" ”
I nodded and said, "That's right! Whoever of the three of us is poisoned by these five-step snail snakes will have to lie down, and once they do, the guys' plans will continue. Hey, it's really a good calculation, a good means! ”
Hua Muling gritted his teeth and said, "Who the hell are these guys?" What exactly do they want to do? ”
I said in a deep voice: "As for who they are and what they want to do, we don't know anything about it now, but judging from the previous phone call from an unknown source, it is at least related to our theft of the token Sifang Seal." It's like a game of cat and mouse, and since the cat wants to tease the mouse, it naturally won't let its bait die so quickly, so I think they're safe, at least for now. ”
Hua Muling nodded and said, "That's right! ”
I sighed, then looked around, and said to Hua Muling: "There are many people, and I don't know if there are any people who have mixed with them among these hundred or so people." I just took a look, and there seems to be your handkerchief doorman here, so let them withdraw first! If you stay, we will discuss it in detail. Don't worry, this matter started because of our one-yuan fast, and I Hu Tian will not stop there. ”
Hua Muling looked at me, and after a while, nodded and said, "Listen to you." ”
After saying that, Hua Muling turned around and walked towards a group of people in dark red robes on the side.
After seeing Hua Muling go to take care of the flower handkerchief, I turned to Uncle Xu and said: "Uncle Xu, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient to talk about many things. ”
Uncle Xu nodded and said, "No problem." ”
I nodded and continued, "In addition, Uncle Xu, please let these coffins be carried to the backyard of Yiyuanzhai and carefully placed. By the way, there is also someone to put Hou Dayong into the coffin where there is no one after that, remember, you must be extremely careful. ”
Uncle Xu didn't say anything, nodded and agreed to these things, then turned around and ordered someone to do it.
After explaining this, I took a cigarette out of my pocket, lit one, and took a deep breath.
The smoke drifted in front of my eyes, I took a deep breath to try to calm myself, and my mind went through everything that happened today as quickly as a movie, "Our old man and Eagle Lao Qi disappeared inexplicably in the morning, and then the five masters in the lower eight doors also disappeared, Hua Muling visited, and then there was an attack, and the appearance of six big black coffins......"
"Everything was like it had been rehearsed in advance...... I thought to myself.
I took a deep breath of my cigarette, trying to find a clue from this chaotic incident, so that I could find out the guy behind the scenes.
But at this moment, a bitter chill suddenly rose up my spine, and it felt like a poisonous snake crawling slowly along your back.
"Someone's staring at me!"
This is an ability that I have cultivated in the army, and it is also an instinct to warn of danger.
It took less than half a second for the thought to come to me when I reacted, but when I looked back at the dispersed crowd, I saw nothing.
"Who is it? What does he want to do? I thought to myself.
But before I had time to think about it, the phone in my pocket rang, I took out the phone and glanced at the number on the screen, and the caller turned out to be the strange number from before.
I picked up the phone and said coldly, "Hey, what do you want to do?" ”
The voice on the other end of the phone giggled: "I said, I want you to steal the door token Sifang seal." But ......"
