Chapter 171: The Horror Camera
After returning to Jincheng, we rested for a few days, and by the way, we prepared materials to send Xiao Rong to school, but at this time Xiao Rong said that his household registration book and ID card could not be found.
Seeing that I was going to report in a few days, this made my mother anxious, so I hurriedly called the friend who was in charge of my household registration, but fortunately, they said that if I went to reapply now, I would rush it, and the ID card would be issued in less than three days, and the household registration would be done again on the same day.
So we hurriedly drove to the police station, my mother's friend was already waiting inside, fortunately, it has not been too long since the last time Xiaorong was registered, so some information is still kept by her friend.
"Yan Daorong, right!" The household registration police checked Xiaorong's information.
There was no response, and I looked up at Xiao Rong suspiciously.
"Hello? Is it called Yan Daorong? The household registration police asked again.
"Inside...... I want to change my name...... May I? Xiao Rong lowered his head and blushed for a long time before he spoke.
"Yes."
After getting permission, Xiao Rong's face turned even redder.
"What name do you want to change?" The household registration police saw that Xiao Rong never spoke, and asked.
"Inside...... Inner ...... Seventh brother, I'm ...... I can...... Can I have the same last name as you? ”
Xiao Rong stumbled, and after the words came out, Xiao Rong seemed to be crying, and then lowered his head deeply.
I was overwhelmed by this Xiaorong question, and I didn't know how to answer.
"Yes, yes, but why? Changing your name is a trivial matter, if you change your surname, it's a big deal, think twice! I said.
"Li Mingzhi ......" Xiao Rong lowered his head, and his voice sounded dullly.
"What's wrong with him?" I didn't understand what Rong was trying to say.
I thought to myself, could it be that Li Mingzhi told him something? In the few seconds when Xiao Rong lowered his head and didn't speak, countless possibilities popped up in my mind, each more outrageous than the other.
"Although I don't understand anything, I also know that Li Zhiming seems to want to kill me that day, even if he doesn't want to kill me, he also wants to threaten you by hurting me." Xiao Rong said sullenly.
"Actually, I ...... I didn't think you'd come, because ...... How can I say it...... I'm just one of the people I haven't seen much of you, even if it's my parents' relationship, I don't think you need to risk it for me, not to mention, even I can see that this is their trap. ”
Speaking of this, my mother and I were silent, and Xiao Rong also took a deep breath, listening to Xiao Rong's breathing, his voice was very chaotic, and he seemed to be trying to restrain his emotions.
……
"But you came, you don't know, just before you came, I heard them say how to kill me, they went to investigate my origins, and they didn't believe that you would really come and save me.
But you still came, and I was completely blinded at that time, and I don't understand, I don't understand why you jumped into the trap for me...... Still...... I was stupid, my parents went when I couldn't remember, the only thing I know about the word affection is that my villagers have been helping me grow up, and they have taught me to read and write, and I know that my aunt will send a lot of money for them to take care of me.
Seventh Brother ...... I didn't have a brother, and I didn't even know what a mother was, so I always treated you like the uncles and aunts who helped me......
But the reason why you said you went to save me was ...... Say I'm your brother and your aunt's son...... I don't think I'm really worth it for you......" Xiao Rong said, feeling more and more emotional.
"So, you want to ......"
Before I finished speaking, Xiao Rong interrupted me and said:
"I don't have a mother! No relatives! The villagers were kind to me, but I was still living on my own, and for the first time, I ...... It's like knowing for the first time that you have family...... So, would you like me to be your family......" At the end, Xiao Rong lowered his head unconfidently.
We were all shocked by Xiao Rong's words, and even the two household registration policemen were speechless in surprise.
It may be that we were silent for a long time, Xiao Rong didn't get a response, and I actually saw two crystal tears falling.
"Absolutely...... I said, you are my son, Tang Qi's brother, you want to integrate into us, I am very happy, but the matter of changing your surname is ...... Don't be hasty! Isn't my surname Yan, too! It doesn't make a difference if you don't change it......" Mother gently advised.
Xiao Rong lowered his head and thought for a while, but decided to change his name.
"My brother's surname is Tang."
This is Xiao Rong's reason.
All kinds of procedures were handled quickly, and there was a 20-year-old young man in our family's household registration book - Tang Rong.
Xiao Rong held the household registration book and said happily:
"I thought I had to be called Tang Ba!"
When I got home, I had nothing to do to find the note that I had stuffed up before, and Qianjue left me, but I found a small red book pressed on the bottom of the drawer, which was Xiaorong's own independent household registration book.
……
On this day, when I returned from sending Xiaorong to school, I saw Uncle Liu sending a customer at the door of the store, I don't know why, I always felt weird when I looked at this gray-haired old man.
"Oops! Xiao Qi is back! Uncle Liu greeted me warmly when he saw me.
"Come and eat at home! My daughter-in-law is sick and hospitalized, your mother is going to help take care of it, I still have to watch the store, you come over and let's do it together! ”
Auntie has always been hard-boned, since the red belly pocket was scared that time, the body has not had any problems, carefully asked to know, two days ago the aunt woke up in the middle of the night, was frightened, and then has been high fever, sent to the hospital in the early morning, until now I haven't given a letter What is the situation, but this store can not be opened, so Liu Maozi stayed in the hospital to take care of it, and Uncle Liu came back to see the store.
Hearing Uncle Liu's explanation, I nodded, although I had a little bad premonition in my heart, but I couldn't say it directly, if this kind of thing was not said before, it would not be good!
Taking advantage of Uncle Liu's ordering, I sent a WeChat message to Liu Maozi to ask about Aunt Liu's situation, but Liu Maozi never replied.
Uncle Liu and I finished eating in embarrassment, I went back to my shop, the door was not open during the day, I simply fell asleep, but the two hours of sleep did not stop, I had nightmares, and I had a lot of strange dreams, scattered, my intuition told me that these fragments were the same dream, talking about the same thing, but I just couldn't put them together.
When I woke up, my head was dizzy and swollen from nightmares, so I turned on my computer, looked at my mailbox, which had been sitting idle for too long, and saw thousands of emails. But after a cursory browsing, many of them are some unnutritious things with a curious mentality, and some are just small fights, or they got some old things, and they are emotionally disturbed because of the psychological effect.
These are not worth seeing, so I turned off the computer, and seeing that the time was already four or five o'clock, I drove to the school to pick up Xiaorong, and then bought some wine and food to eat together with the Liu family's antique shop.
But when I walked to the door, I found that the door of the Liu family's antique store was closed, so I called Liu Maozi, and Liu Maozi said that Uncle Liu had gone to the hospital.
Then I went back to the store with Xiao Rong, and after eating, the store opened.
Because of Aunt Liu's sudden illness, so during this time, only me and Xiaorong lived a very boring life, Song Xiaorong went to school in the morning, came back for a meal, slept for a while, and then went to pick up Xiaorong from school, and had a meal together to open the door.
Two days later, Uncle Liu, who had not seen anyone for two days, suddenly came to the door with the old customer I had seen two days ago.
"Uncle Liu said, what's the matter?" I looked at the serious-looking old man next to me and asked suspiciously.
"That Xiao Qi, this is my customer, his surname is Qi, you can call him Uncle Qi, his family lives in the west of the city, and there are two rows of undemolished houses in the bungalow area over there, all of which are Uncle Qi's family." Uncle Liu introduced me to him.
I politely said hello, but this Uncle Qi seemed to have something in his heart, stood aside with a frown, and ignored my greeting.
My questioning eyes fell on Uncle Liu, who also received my new number, and then explained to me:
"Hey, Uncle Qi has encountered something in the past two days, he is quite old, he has been tossed by the femininity, and he is a little scared, it is inevitable!"
I nodded, I see.
I beckoned Uncle Qi to sit down and asked him to tell me about his femininity.
It turns out that this Uncle Qi didn't ask for a wife when he was young, and he didn't have children or daughters in his life, but because the family had money, he branded so many main properties, and as a charter company, although he was a little lonely in this life, he didn't lack anything less.
This person has money when he is free, so it is good to cultivate some hobbies, don't bring this Uncle Qi well, he just likes some old things.
A while ago, one of his tenants moved, and when he went to clean up the house, he saw that the tenant had left something behind, and there was a very old camera in it, similar to the kind of big-headed camera in the late Qing Dynasty, covered with a piece of cloth, and a pinch of the rubber ball, and sometimes the camera would spark.
Uncle Qi felt that this was a treasure, and he happened to be very familiar with Uncle Liu, who opened an antique shop, so he brought that thing to the antique shop of the Liu family, and wanted to ask Uncle Liu to give him a palm, Uncle Liu meant, this camera is a hundred and 80 years old, and it can be regarded as knowing money, but he is valuable, it is an old-fashioned Gale daguerreotype camera, and the condition is not bad, too much nonsense, but you want to sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the current market, it is still sold.
Uncle Qi was happy when he heard this, Uncle Liu looked at it as a good thing and wanted to spend money to collect it, but Uncle Qi said that it was not his own, and he had no right to sell it, but it fell into his own hands, even if it was fate, he wanted to keep it for himself.
After returning home, the old man remembered, Uncle Liu said that this thing is in very good condition, and it is quite new, so he wondered if he could take photos like on TV, and then the old man made a mess at home, don't you say, he made a lot of tinkering according to the way it looked on TV, and he really took a photo, the only flaw is that the old man can't wash the photos, so there has been no imaging thing.
Although this was the case, it did not alleviate the old man's enthusiasm at all, and he took this camera to shoot here and there at home.
That night, Uncle Qi, who had always slept very deeply, was woken up by a strange sound in the middle of the night, and Uncle Qi got up to look, but he didn't find anything different.
The next morning, he found that his two chairs, a painting, and some flowers and plants in the yard had all withered and disappeared, and he finally found them in his well.
"Well, is it possible that there is a thief?" I asked helplessly.
"Coincidentally, these are the things I captured with my camera the afternoon before." Uncle Qi said.
Uncle Qi said that he was still worried that it was just a coincidence, or that there was a burglar in the house, so he used the camera to take a few more pictures that day, and sure enough, yesterday morning, those things appeared in his own well again.
At that time, Uncle Qi suddenly remembered that when he just saw this detail, he had contacted the Liu family, and his legs and feet were inconvenient when he was old, so he wanted them to come to see the goods, and they were very busy that day, so Aunt Liu went, and they didn't know how to make trouble that day, and the camera actually burst into flames, just like taking pictures, as if Aunt Liu was taken in. Then that night, Aunt Liu became seriously ill.
When I heard this, I couldn't help frowning, I didn't expect that these two things were still connected.
Uncle Liu was even more panicked when he heard this, and then took my hand and said to me:
"Xiao Qi, I haven't been in the store for the past two days, I just went to see your Aunt Liu, she is getting weaker and weaker day by day, either in a coma or getting up to talk nonsense, saying what to ask for her life, I don't think it's simple. It just so happened that Uncle Qi said that this thing in his house seems to be a bit evil, so I came to look for you, but I didn't expect to bump into the same thing. ”
I looked up at Uncle Liu, and the heavy dark circles under his eyes knew that he must not have been tossing lightly in the past two days.
"Auntie, do you have any other symptoms?" I asked.
"Hey! I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep, and then it didn't take long for me to hear the shouting of the nurse on duty, and when I woke up, I found that your Aunt Liu was no longer in the hospital bed.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly rushed out, your Aunt Liu actually ran to the roof of the inpatient building to jump down, you also know that there is a particularly large swimming pool in the courtyard of the rehabilitation building next to a private hospital, just in the middle of the rehabilitation building and the inpatient building, your Aunt Liu actually wants to jump down! ”
Uncle Liu's face was shocked.
"Does this feminine thing like to dive?"
