Under the bed
The next day, Agui's daughter took Mengli and them to a very old wooden building with black tiles and yellow mud walls, only one floor, which looked a little smaller than other wooden buildings. This wooden building is built on the hillside, the windows are all broken, the door is locked, and there are faded door paintings on it, and there are many cobwebs outside the door, which looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.
Agui's daughter also wondered why she came here since her friends were gone, so Mengli said to come and take a look casually, and let her go back first, so that they could recognize the way back.
"Little brother, when I arrived at your door, did you think of anything?" Mengli looked at the little brother who was wandering at the door, not knowing what kind of expression on his face, and asked tentatively.
The little brother touched the wooden pillars and doors, looked at the unfamiliar wooden building in front of him, and shook his head.
Mengli and Wu Xie both sighed, and at this time, the fat man had already pried open the window on one side and beckoned to them, "Come here." ”
"So skilled, have you done it before?" Wu Xie joked.
"What kind of character am you fat man, do you know how to bypass the analogy? Tomb robbery and theft are the difference between one word. Besides, if you don't know how to use skills, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes, and learn from the fat man. The fat man said as he urged them.
"So much nonsense, be a thief, be professional." Mengli interrupted them and climbed in through the window.
Watching a group of people climb into the window, Wu Xie secretly closed the window, feeling a little empty-hearted, and now it looks like a team of organized and premeditated burglars, but they are not thieves, they just sneaked into the little brother's house.
It was a little dark inside the wooden building, and they saw a large room, connected to the stove, and there were many tools hanging on the walls, hoes, shovels, all rusty. Looking at the structure here, it seems to be similar to Agui's house, and it is estimated that the design of the wooden building is similar.
On one side, separated by a wooden wall, there was a rather old curtain, covered with dust, behind which there should have been a room.
Mengli looked at the little brother, he frowned, looked around, seemed to hesitate, but after a while, he lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Ugh." Mengli sighed, and found his place, but he didn't remember it at all, and he really didn't know if fate was playing tricks on him. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the depths of my heart: I want to change my fate.
Mengli couldn't help but sneer, she was changing his fate, changing their fate, no matter what the cost...... But in the end, she also fell deeper and deeper.
Mengli followed into the room, and as soon as she entered, there was a musty smell, it was very dark inside, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no window inside.
I didn't expect this to happen, no one had a flashlight, so they could only open the curtain for a section to let the outside light in. In the dim light, they could see that the room was cramped, with a circle of shelves against the wall, and they saw first some books and some boxes, the shelves were empty, and the floor was littered with mud, except for these things, there was only a plank bed and a wooden table on one side. The desks are old student desks. Everything has a thin layer of ash on it.
The air in this mountain is very clean, so there is not much ash accumulation, and if it is in a big city, I am afraid that the ash here can be shoveled and cultivated. This also means that no one has been in here for a long time.
"This is your room?" Wu Xie was a little surprised when he saw such an ordinary house in front of him, maybe in his eyes, the little brother was a powerful and strange person, and the place where he lived should be very special.
But when I think about it, it seems that Wu Xie can't think of the specific weird method, the little brother is also a person in the end, people always sleep in the bed, never in the coffin. Clues can't be written on the walls, they should be in the furnishings.
They walked in, and the fat man opened the cabinet and found nothing.
Although there are not many things in the room, they look quite messy, and those boxes and books are not neatly placed, probably because they were turned over when Brother Chu came.
Mengli picked up a book casually and found that the book was very popular, it was an old version of a thread-bound book, she flipped through it, and it was a little moldy inside. She pursed her lips, put down the book with a look of disgust, and looked at the little brother who didn't say a word.
The only thing in the room that looked like it was the bed and the table, Wu Xie thought of this, so he immediately walked towards the writing desk and went to find the photos that Brother Chu said.
When he walked to the table, he saw the dusty glass on the table, and he could vaguely see a lot of photos below, and said in his heart: It seems that Brother Chu didn't lie to me.
Wu Xie just wanted to study the content of those photos, and Ah Ning and the fat man next to him both looked behind, and saw that the little brother was carefully touching the books without saying a word, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he had some doubts.
"Little brother, did you remember something?" Mengli asked.
He didn't answer, just opened his mouth, looked like he wanted to say something, and frowned.
Wu Xie knew that the little brother must have discovered something, and looked at him expectantly.
I saw him tilt his head sideways, turn around the room, and suddenly said, "It doesn't seem right." ”
"Isn't that right? What's wrong? Wu Xie asked reflexively.
The little brother tried very hard to recall, and said with his true feelings: "No, this room just doesn't feel right to me."
"Could it be that this isn't your house?" Wu Xie's heart was even more depressed, could the little clues he had worked so hard to find be all wrong?
The little brother didn't speak again, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and then his eyes fell on the bed. He immediately crouched down and looked under the bed.
Wu Xie and the fat man also squatted down, and it was pitch black under the bed. The little brother handed his hand over, but they didn't react, so Mengli put the lighter in his pocket into his hand, which was very tacit.
But will there be anything under this bed?
There's nothing down there, just a lot of cobwebs. But he did not give up, but still crawled inside, and began to feel in the gap in the wooden floor, and touched it, and suddenly saw his fingers hooked, and he actually grabbed a piece of the floor and broke it.
The little brother's strength was amazing, and he heard a terrifying cracking sound, and the entire wooden floor was broken off by him. He threw the broken part and continued to break it, and the action was simply crazy.
Wu Xie and the fat man were both blindsided, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so the fat man shouted: "Little brother, even if it's not right, you don't have to demolish the house." ”
"Little brother, even if it doesn't work for you, you don't have to demolish the house." The fat man said.
Mengli grabbed the fat man who wanted to stop the little brother and said, "There's something down here."
"But the little brother is now a patient, and he has lost his memory, could he have suffered some blow?" Wu Xie guessed.
"Look." A-Ning shouted.
Several people looked at the little brother, who had already broken a big hole under the bed and dragged out a black tin box from it. Sure enough, there is really a secret compartment under this bed, and the little brother probably remembered something, this thing is so tightly hidden, it must be a very important thing for the little brother.
The little brother had a hard time dragging the box, and even the fat man could barely move it out and put it on the bed when he went up to help.
"What is this? It's so heavy. The fat man suddenly looked at the little brother with a wicked smile and asked, "Little brother, could it be the bottom of your pressure box?" It turns out that you are the richest man who hides the deepest. ”
"Fatty, don't think about it, even if the little brother is rich, it's none of your business." Mengli said disgustedly.
It was a black tin box, quite large, and it looked like it could fit a person, and it was covered with rusty patterns, and it seemed to be quite old.
"Something that looks like the owner's house in the past may still be an antique." Wu Xie saw the old-fashioned twist lock on it, this box may be something from the Republic of China, it is very likely that it is used by large families to put clothes, or it is a box for costumes in the theater.
The little brother crawled out from under the bed out of breath, and they all looked at him, waiting for him to explain it to them.
However, when they saw the confused and confused eyes of the person concerned, they knew that there was no hope.
It's just that since this box is an important thing for the little brother, there should be something inside. So......
"What are you waiting for, just open it and see what's inside." The fat man said it straightforwardly, and it was the only way to do it, and then he reached over and wanted to open it.
"Don't open it!" As soon as the little brother was in a hurry, he pushed away the fat man who had put his hand on the surface of the box, and saw that the little brother was pale and very nervous.
"Little brother......" Wu Xie held the fat man, and felt very puzzled when he saw the abnormal behavior of the little brother, "Little brother, this is your thing, and it may also be related to your life experience, why can't you open it?" ”
The little brother frowned, looked at the box, and said for a while: "Don't open it, I feel that this box is very bad, and something will definitely happen when you open it." ”
"Do you remember anything? About this box. A-Ning asked.
The little brother was in a cold sweat at this time, extremely nervous, and seemed to be very afraid of the contents of this box. He shook his head and said, "It's just that this box gives me a very bad feeling, and I don't know how to describe it." ”
The little brother pinched his eyebrows, trying hard to remember.
"I wonder if there is some mechanism in this box, right? Could it be that as soon as you open the box, there will be a bomb exploding inside. The fat man guessed, and continued to use his imagination, really admiring his imagination.
"It's possible, the little brother knows so much about the mechanism, and this thing is also his, he shouldn't be able to remember and don't know how to crack the mechanism, so he feels that it is very dangerous." Wu Xie analyzed.
"Then why don't we move it out and find a few masters outside to ...... this box," the fat man said, suddenly remembering that there were two masters in front of him, and shut up directly.
Mengli didn't care what they thought, she walked directly to the front of the box, touched its surface, and then put her hand on the lock of the box, and was about to open the box.
