Chapter 3: Return to the capital

After returning to my hometown in southern Anhui, I only had a day of rest and flew to Chongqing overnight.

I didn't let Ah Cheng come with me, thinking that he would have a good rest at home for a while. As for Boss Ye, he returned to Guangxi early. also wanted not to disturb Boss Ye's rest, so he simply didn't notify him. I set off by myself with a backpack on my back......

The plane arrived in Chongqing the next morning, and it was cold in Chongqing at the end of September. On a 10-degree day, wearing a long sleeve is enough to keep you warm......

I wanted to call a taxi directly to Xudu, but not long after I left the airport, it suddenly began to rain heavily in the sky.

As a last resort, I had to take refuge in a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road.

At this time, there were no pedestrians outside the store, and only vehicles were driving on the street against the rain.

Looking at this rainy scene, I felt a little melancholy inexplicably......

After asking the store for a bottle of beer, I hurriedly lit a cigarette and smoked it.

A cigarette burned out, I opened the lid of the beer, and had just finished taking a sip when I heard a noise coming from the door of the store - someone stepped in.

"Alas, such a heavy rain, come and come, the boss will bring a bottle of blue ribbon, and then come to a plate of green pepper fried meat."

Hearing this voice, my heart was shocked, and I quickly turned around. I saw a bloated and fat body carrying a bottle of blue and took it away.

"What's the matter, one person is drunk? What can I do if I am not called? The visitor sat down across from me.

I smiled and raised my glass: "Then would this Boss Ye want to have a drink together?" With such a heavy rain, do you come here with a bag to do business? ”

It's the first time I've seen Boss Ye dressed so formally, with a briefcase in his hand. If you don't look closely, you really think it's a businessman who has come to do business.

"Yes, a small business, a small business, come, don't say so much, let's drink!"

Immediately, another glass of wine was served.

"Okay, let's take a moment, I'll have to do something later." I burped and coughed twice, "You know, I came to deliver the kyanite glass box, alas, I don't know who will collect it." ”

"Anyway, it's definitely not those yin people. By the way, you know, I went back to Hua Yumo and asked about the origin of Yin Renke. Those turtle grandsons, harm. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of idle people. ”

"What's wrong with the Yin Renke? Didn't they originate as an organization in the Northwest? I frowned.

"yes, you know where their mystical abilities come from, don't you?" Boss Ye pointed to my bag, "What is the kyanite glass box for, what kind of man-made one in Egypt is it, right?" Do you know where the tribe that made the box came from? The Chiyou Jiuli clan of Yanhuang and Chiyou back then! ”

"What's the matter, they're from the Jiuli clan?" My eyes widened, and I really didn't react to this wave of information.

"That's right, do you think that Li Changfeng also calls himself the Jiuli clan, now you know why Li Changfeng is thinking about these boxes, right?" Boss Ye took a sip, "And the Yin people, they also started with these boxes, naturally they don't want Li Changfeng to get the box and endanger themselves, right?" ”

Now I can understand it, in the end, we seem to be working for Yin people?

"Then didn't we indirectly help the Yin people?" I said cautiously.

"Isn't it? harm, the Tao in this, Hua Yumo and their family are also in the dark. It would be down the mountain, wouldn't their family be there? In that village, who still lives next door to us, he smelled the smell of this box and wanted to get a piece of the pie. But that's their home? ”

"It's all gone......"

Seeing that Boss Ye mentioned the matter under the mountain, I thought of the missing uncle and Jiang Chenhui again, and I felt sad again.

"Is there any news of my uncle? And Jiang Chenhui and Li Jing? "I took this opportunity to ask about Boss Ye.

"I didn't ...... There's no news from you. So, the box is one thing, there must be something else in it, for example, what is in the crystal coffin? ”

Who knows, I thought to myself. Suddenly caught a glimpse of Boss Ye's mobile phone on the table.

Suddenly, my eyes widened, yes, crystal coffin!

"Boss Ye, borrow your phone for me to take a look." After that, I didn't wait for Boss Ye to respond, so I directly picked up his mobile phone. After skillfully opening the photo album of my phone, I was a little confused......

"Boss Ye, have you cleaned up the album or anything recently?" I wondered, "Why is this picture of yours dark?" ”

"I haven't cleaned it up, how can I have this habit, I haven't touched my phone when I go back, what's wrong? What's black? ”

"Didn't we take pictures of the coffin lid under there before, why are those photos black now, I remember it was fine at the time......" I handed the phone to Boss Ye.

After Boss Ye took it, he studied it carefully.

"Huh? What's going on? yes, why are the photos black? Wait, I'll take a look. As he spoke, Boss Ye tapped his mobile phone intently......

I stared at it for a moment, then turned my head to look outside. The rain stopped sometimes, the sky began to clear, and pedestrians returned to the streets.

"In this case, let's go to Xudu first, otherwise we won't have time." I patted Boss Ye.

Boss Ye nodded, grabbed the briefcase next to him and walked towards the door of the store. At this time, his eyes were still on his phone......

I smiled, and after settling the bill, I followed him out.

As soon as we got out of the door, a red taxi consciously stopped in front of us. The driver poked his head out and shouted to us: "Two bosses, do you want to take a car?" Where to go? ”

"Xudu County - Xudu Ghost Town."

Strangely, after I said this, a hesitant expression appeared on the driver's face.

"What? Inconvenience? ”

"No, it just rained heavily today, not to mention that the ghost town mountain is being restarted, and there is nothing interesting there now. Why don't I take you somewhere else? ”

I frowned, this driver didn't want to pull us there, and he didn't want to give up this order, so he didn't have to do this. How many years has the ghost town mountain been there, and will it be restarted?

Simply, I didn't say a word, and dragged Boss Ye to the side.

When the driver saw that we were leaving, he immediately became anxious: "Okay, you want to go to Yudu, I'll take you there, but if it's not fun to start construction there, don't blame me for not telling you in advance." ”

"Then hurry up, we're in a hurry." I replied and pulled the door open......

Along the way, I talked with the driver, and then I learned that because of too much rain this year, the flash flood and mudslide prevention project in Guicheng Mountain will be re-strengthened, and the construction has been started since last month, and this time should be the link of the major rectification.

Listening to the driver's explanation, I wondered if the cave on the mountain would be discovered, and then I ......

It just so happened that at this time, Boss Ye pushed me and handed over the phone: "Okay, take a look, this ......"

I looked down and saw that a few lines appeared on the picture of what was supposed to be the coffin lid: Don't go to the ghost town of Xudu, something happened there.

Then, I switched to the next one, and it was still text: Give up tracking these things, your task has been completed, keep the box and wait for someone to pick it up.

Then, next: If someone asks you to hand over the kyanite glass box, say that the box has been lost under the coordinates.

The three photos that were supposed to be the lid of the coffin were turned into three lines of words. This was a bit of a surprise to me.

"Boss Ye, are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the photo?"

"I didn't ...... Let's be honest, I adjusted the exposure of the photo and so on, and then, these words appeared. What do you think? Do you still go to the ghost town of Xudu? ”

"Go, of course, even if it's time to see, I'm going to go." I muttered, "As for the text, let's just assume it doesn't exist." "Anyway, I deleted the photos casually.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of the ghost town of Xudu.

It was five o'clock in the evening, just like the first time I came, except that it was a clear sky, and then a light rain began to fall.

However, Ghost Town Mountain is also under construction, as the driver said. And at this time, tourists are not allowed to enter the village.

But whether it is the cave or the Yin Yang Inn of Yin Renke, it is all in the ghost city of Xudu. If I don't go in, who will I give the kyanite glass box to?

Or am I going to keep the box and not give it to anyone, as I said in the photo just now?

I was struggling here, Boss Ye suddenly spoke, and pointed not far ahead: "Or, let's go there and find a hotel to live in, and then find the entrance to go in later?" ”

I glanced at the place he pointed, and there was an inn there, and the sign was quite literary: it seemed to be an old man.

"Okay, let's go over and see if there will be any old people coming." I smiled bitterly and followed Boss Ye over.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard the roar of cars and the screeching of horns behind me.

Curiosity drove me to look back.

At a glance, I froze in place - the pickup truck that the previous expedition team was riding appeared here, and drove directly into the ghost city of Xudu.

Almost at the same time as it entered the ghost town, another car followed. It was a van, white, and it had a very hearse-like appearance.

I don't know if they're together......
