Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 3: Strange People

That night, my grandfather left with Miss Luo, so that I could look at the books left by my grandfather, and my grandfather said that those things were not valuable, and he had long wanted to burn them.

I and Marijuana also went back to the county overnight, and stopped at the county seat for a while, my father and three brothers were already waiting in the county, surprised that my grandfather was in good health and at the same time with a puzzled face, but my grandfather didn't ask much, especially glared at the second uncle a few times.

Miss Luo wanted to talk to me several times, but I avoided it in disgust, maybe she felt my hostility, and finally whispered to me before leaving: "I'm sorry, we are also forced to meet, if we can still meet, maybe we can tell you something." ”

I said, "I hope you will keep your promise and send my grandfather back safely." ”

"Don't worry, as long as I, Luo Qing, live, I will definitely keep the old man safe."

……

The next few days were peaceful. I can't tell my parents what I know, maybe my dad guessed something, after all, I have lived with my grandfather for so many years, and I still know some things more or less, but I usually have my grandfather to be shocked, and he doesn't dare to ask too much. My mom started complaining a few times that my grandfather was pretending to be paralyzed, but after my dad gave her a serious warning, she didn't dare to mention it again.

In the past few days, my father and three brothers have also gathered a few times, and I don't know what they said secretly, anyway, my father didn't mean to mention it to me, so I didn't ask, I just slept at home all day and read books, and I couldn't be interested in anything, so I forced myself to look through my grandfather's codex.

Brother Marijuana often called me to go out to play, drink, sing, but I was not interested, and I pushed them off one by one.

After a few days, my mother began to arrange a blind date for me again, I postponed it, and went to deal with a few scenes, I have to say that women are too sensitive and snobbish now, and I don't have the heart to do it, it's all going through the motions.

My parents saw that I had something on my mind and talked to me a few times, but what could I say to them? Say I'm the most yang body in the family? Said grandpa might not be able to come back for me? Say I might be forced to risk going to the grave in the future? Don't say that you can tell them these things, what can they do?

In the past few days, I have also vaguely guessed that things are not so simple, maybe Miss Luo and they are not the masterminds behind the scenes, if the people behind the scenes are really like me, then I am afraid.

A tomb robber family may be able to get a mining license if you have money, and you can use money to cover up the truth of the mining disaster, but how can you get so many guns and arms if you have money? No matter how rich you are, how can you find Hutou Village in the vast sea of people?

Now that the family has some money to spare, my parents bought me a car and let me go out for a walk, so I drove to a few scenic spots around for a few days, and I also wanted to change the environment, maybe my heart is heavy, maybe my grandfather has solved everything, but I really can't play.

In this way, in the middle of August, I came to Qingyuan unconsciously, thinking that it was not too far from Shenzhen, so I simply went to see my sister-in-law, who was very good to me, and would bring me a lot of gifts every year when I came back, and if I went to see her, she would definitely be very happy.

My sister-in-law lives in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and I came twice when I was a child, but Shenzhen has changed too much, and I found it according to the location sent by my sister-in-law.

As soon as I found my sister-in-law's community, my sister-in-law and my uncle were waiting at the door early, and my sister-in-law hugged me excitedly when she saw me, twisted my face and scolded angrily: "You kid is really anxious to kill me, I have nothing to do with your second uncle, fortunately you are safe and sound, if you really want something, I will make your second uncle unpeaceful in this life." ”

My sister-in-law's eyes turned red as she spoke, my heart warmed, and she said, "Isn't it okay for me, don't be angry, didn't Xiaoyuan come to see my sister-in-law." ”

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyuan is very tired from driving all the way, you go home first, I'll park." My uncle is a very elegant middle-aged man, slightly blessed, and looks very kind.

My sister-in-law dragged me to the community, sometimes asking how I was doing, sometimes asking me about the situation at home, anyway, she never stopped. I didn't dare to tell him about my grandfather, it was all perfunctory.

The little aunt has already prepared dinner and eats hot pot. My sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, is still in her second year of college, and went on a summer vacation, so only she and her uncle are at home.

At the dinner table, I told my sister-in-law about the mining disaster, and naturally I briefly wrote most of it, only saying that I was trapped underground and couldn't get out, and I had been waiting for rescue.

Although I said it briefly, my sister-in-law wiped tears from her face after hearing it, which made me feel a little weak.

My sister-in-law's house has three bedrooms and one living room, and I rarely stay with guests, and the other was transformed into a study by my uncle, which was originally arranged for me to live in my cousin Song Ning's room, but my cousin's style is too feminine, I look a little stubborn, and my uncle also saw it, so he said that he wronged me to sleep in the study and laid me a folding bed.

I wasn't used to staying at other people's houses since I was a child, and I thought I would be able to sleep later tonight, so I took my grandfather's "Deposit Decision" from my bag and flipped it up. I only brought this one on this trip.,Grandpa left those hand-copied copies I read once.,Those traditional Chinese characters can also be recognized.,I didn't know that I checked it deliberately.,How does it look like I struggle.,Can't get transparent.。

For example, this book "Deposit Decision", to the effect that if you judge the location of the tomb from the outside, and what kind of environment to play what kind of robbery hole, like the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "treasure top method" is used to seal the palace, that is, add a layer of bricks on the top of the underground palace, and there is usually a mechanism under the bricks, which will destroy the burial goods in the tomb, and the heavy will be able to fight the life of the master. In case of large tombs, remember to penetrate at one time, and after confirming the scale of the tombs, find out the weak points, such drainage systems, ventilated closures, etc., anyway, the last few closed places will not be the heaviest places in the tombs.

There is also a way to distinguish what kind of ground type, there are "Z" shapes, beveled angles, and erections, these records are very rough and simple, and most of them have to rely on their own brains.

Maybe I was tired, but I fell asleep after reading a few pages, and I slept surprisingly peacefully that night, and slept until dawn.

When I got up and freshened up, my sister-in-law helped me clean up the room and saw the book, and curiously took it out and asked if I like to read this kind of book? I perfunctorily said that I bought it on the road and kept it as a souvenir.

After hearing this, my uncle thought about it, and said casually: "Lingling, don't make a fuss, this is Xiaoyuan's privacy, how can you turn things over without his consent?" Really. ”

Lingling is my sister-in-law's nickname, and my sister-in-law said angrily: "Where do you want to go, this book is not unhealthy, but very popular." ”

"Oh? Let me see. My sister-in-law was interested, he worked in the Cultural Bureau, and he was interested in anything cultural, so after taking the book, she turned a few pages, looked at me in surprise, and said, "Xiaoyuan, this is a hand-copied book, I have been reading this way for some years, where did I get it?" ”

"I also bought it casually as a tourist roader, and I really don't remember the specific place." I continued to be perfunctory, afraid to tell them that this was my grandfather's belongings.

"Interesting, interesting." My uncle nodded while reading, and after reading about twenty pages of breakfast, he closed the book and said in a heavy voice: "Xiaoyuan, the things recorded in this book are very sophisticated, and the person who wrote this book is not simple, can you think carefully about where you bought it?" ”

I'm a little apprehensive, could it be that this book is really not simple? My literary skills are limited, and it seems to be laborious, but my uncle is a man of erudition, and perhaps he can see the way, so I tentatively asked, "Is there anything wrong with this book?" I've watched it a few times, but I don't quite understand it. ”

My uncle lifted his glasses, looked at me and said: "I have been assisting the Cultural Relics Bureau to sort out some archives recently, some time ago there was a batch of Ming Dynasty cultural relics on the black market, which should have been stolen recently, but unfortunately some of them have been damaged. And your book is very helpful, because it describes how to make it easier to enter the tomb, and if I can find the owner of this book, maybe he has some other knowledge about it, which will be very useful to me. ”

I pretended to be trying to remember, and after half a day, I said that I bought it on a beach in Hunan, but I really can't remember the specifics.

In the end, my uncle borrowed my book, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

My sister-in-law said to ask for leave to accompany me everywhere to relax, I refused, such an adult is still taken care of, so I am not used to it, let her not delay her work, walk around by herself, and now the network is so developed, it will not be lost.

After my sister-in-law went to work, I first went to the Window of the World for a walk, and then went to the nearby folk village in the afternoon, and the day passed quickly.

Shenzhen is a very prosperous city, but I really didn't have much fun walking alone, and I set off for the beach the next day.

I have been to the beach very few times, I have always been very longing, my sister-in-law suggested that I go to the area of Xichong to play, there is a taste of the sea view there.

I set off early in the morning, but Shenzhen is too congested, to Xichong is more than eleven o'clock, the sea view there is really beautiful, maybe because of weekdays, there are not many tourists.

I found a hotel to live in, ate a meal of authentic seafood at noon, leisurely basking in the sun and swimming, and the day passed.

In the evening, I ordered some seafood barbecue, asked for two beers, and sat on the side of the sea blowing the sea breeze and listening to the waves, which was worth the trip.

"Friend, do you mind sharing a table?" Suddenly, a big man came over, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a fried rice reh.

Looking at this big man who suddenly appeared, I subconsciously nervous, but I remembered that I had even hugged the forbidden woman, and I was afraid of a big living person?

"Feel free!" I made a gesture, pointed to the barbecue on the table and said, "Would you like to have some?" ”

The big man smiled and said, "Be generous! ”

This person is really unkind, he picked up a grilled squid and slammed it to the end, and divided it by two to make the barbecue I ordered seventy-seven-eighty-eight. I thought it was a ruffian or something, so I came over and ate and drank.

This man is no worse than Dahui, and his strength is estimated to be excessive, he is very talkative, he has a lot of wine, and a bottle of liquor will soon bottom out.

"My name is Zhou Bang, friend, you're not a local, are you? Coming out to play? The big man named Zhou Bang asked.

I nodded, thinking that this person was full of food and drink and wanted to rob by the way? I didn't have any money with me anyway, so I'd just take it.

"Angry!" Zhou Bang may have seen my nervousness and said, "I won't eat you for nothing, but let's say it first, I don't have any money, and you have to pay the account yourself." ”

"It's cheesy to make friends and talk about money. My name is Zhang Yuan. "I snorted.

Zhou Bang glanced at me and said, "I'm serious, I really don't eat you in vain, I live on the other side of the mountain, and I can see it at a glance when I turn over the small hillside, you can come to find any trouble in this Saigon town, I can't be reasonable, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in fighting." ”

I looked in the direction he was pointing, it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, and I thought he was scolding me. But I could feel that this person was very real, not pretentious, so I quipped: "That's good, it just so happens that I don't know each other well, why don't I go to your house to have a look?" ”

Zhou Bang smiled heroically: "I have friends from afar, and I am very happy!" But you're going to be disappointed, I still have two boring guys, and if you want to go in, you'll have to bring a drink, or you won't even be able to get in. ”

Smelling Zhou Bang's wine, I suddenly came to the interest of drinking, and immediately called the boss over, the boss saw Zhou Bang, nodded and said hello, it seems that they are very familiar, I thought that the price would be deliberately raised, but I didn't expect Zhou Bang to directly call the boss to give the real price, and it is really a fair price.

Zhou Bang didn't order expensive wine, but asked for a box of six bottles of Niulanshan and packed a few wine money, which made me more and more interested in him.

He did live on the other side of the mountain, and it was indeed easy to find, for beyond the hill there was only one house, and there was no one left alone, unless the blind could not see it.

This house is very old, it can even be said to be very dilapidated, and it can be regarded as a mansion if it is well maintained, but he lives like this, and my first feeling is that a word pops up: Lanruo Temple!

The iron gate outside the courtyard is covered with vines, and the lower side is probably stuck in the mud, only the left door is open, and it is still the kind of pretense that it can't be closed when it's open and can't be closed.

The yard was full of weeds, the ground was littered with packed garbage, and there were two mango trees, and there was a rocking chair between the fruit trees, and there was a person walking on it, and he hadn't moved since I came in, and I don't know if he had fallen asleep.

"A guest is coming, get up and drink." Zhou Bang kicked the rocking chair, and the man turned around and continued to sleep.

"Yo, where did Bangzi get a handsome guy? How did you get this mouthful? "There was another person out of the house, I don't know how to describe it, but I should say that he was a very beautiful man.

"This is Zuoma, who looks like a girl, and is an authentic pure man." Zhou Bang introduced me to me.

Indeed, this is called Zuoma, if I don't speak, I will definitely think that he is a woman, not only looks alike, but even the posture of gestures is similar, more feminine than a woman.

Zhou Bang was accustomed to the situation of his two friends, picked up the bottle of liquor and threw it to the sleeping man, who skillfully caught it, didn't even open his eyes, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth.

Zuo Ma picked up a bottle by himself, raised his head and did not answer his mouth, poured most of the mouthful, and drank as elegantly as he did.

Zhou Bang opened another bottle, raised it to me, and motioned for me to drink?

I usually don't drink much, only two beers, but now I really want to drink, and I don't know if I am infected by the atmosphere.

Taking the liquor, I poured a sip, choked me and coughed, Zuo Ma patted me on the back intimately, and said: "The wine can't be rushed, you have to be gentle with it to appreciate its wonders." ”

It's the first time I've heard someone comment like this about alcohol, but being patted on the back by a big man made me feel uncomfortable.

The lights in the courtyard were not too bright, and I sat at the stone table with Zhou Bang and a few others, maybe I smelled the smell of side dishes, and the one on the rocking chair was dazed, didn't open his eyes, grabbed a handful of peanuts and chewed them.

This man looked very lazy, fair-skinned, and smelled sloppy all over his body, as if he hadn't taken a bath for a month.

Zhou Bang said that he called him Xiaomu, he was a lazy person with advanced cancer, so don't worry about him.

I smiled at Xiao Mu's greeting, Xiao Mu's squinted eyes finally opened, at first opened a slit, maybe I felt that the light was not good to see clearly, and then opened a little and became a half-squint, and then his fair face twitched, and suddenly approached me, and his eyes were as open as copper bells, and he looked at it for a full minute, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and instantly returned to his previous lazy state, grabbed a handful of peanuts and returned to the rocking chair with wine.

I was baffled by his actions, and he was such a weirdo.

Zhou Bang is a talkative person, he talks a lot to me from all over the world, and he seems to know a little bit about everything, while Zuo Ma is a lot quieter, but he keeps talking to me a lot, which makes me very twisted.

"Friend, do you believe in fate?" Zhou Bang stood up and stretched his limbs towards the starry sky, his demeanor a little drunk.

"Fate is that you owe money to someone and don't want to pay it back, and you have to pay it back." My head was also a little foggy, I had never drunk so much wine tonight, and it looked like everything had been spent.

"Incisive!" Zhou Bang gave me a thumbs up and said, "Everyone has a fate that can't be escaped, everyone has troubles that can't be solved, and hiding is a short-term choice and the only choice." ”

I don't quite understand what he said, I believe that if there is trouble, it needs to be solved instead of avoided, maybe he has experienced some things, some things are thought through more clearly than others, or maybe he is just unhappy in life and full of complaints.

"I think I've been in the past for a while, and I've been proud of my youth. Zuo Ma has been sad since he was a child, and he was born unlucky. And Xiaomu is a person who doesn't even have the past, what do you say we look like? "Zhou Bang is drunk.

I was also drunk, and I dimly saw Zhou Bang laughing, laughing heartbreakingly, Zuo Ma laughed, laughing desolate all over the world. I lay on the stone table, trying to laugh but crying.

During this time, I always felt unusually depressed, and I couldn't breathe, maybe the things that my grandfather had been hiding for decades would explode in me, and the most ridiculous thing was that I still don't know what it will be.

I was so drunk that I didn't even want to move my hands, I couldn't even open my eyes, as if my whole body was numb, but strangely my head had never been so awake, and I didn't know if I was asleep or awake.

"It's been a long time since you've had so much drink." I could tell it was Zuoma's voice, and I didn't know who he was talking to.

Zhou Bang had already fallen asleep on the ground, and after a long time, Xiao Mu's voice replied, "Trouble is coming." ”

"Him?" I think the left horse refers to me.

"Hmm."

"He was brought back by Zhou Bang, and it was also Zhou Bang's trouble, why should you care?"

"He brought the trouble back, but he came to me."

"You know him?"

"I don't know."

"Does he know you?"

"I don't know."

"So you think it's going to be trouble?"

"It's already here."

I thought it was a little ridiculous when I heard it, how did I become someone else's trouble for no reason? And it's the trouble of someone I've never met before, it seems that I'm really drunk, and it turns out that the feeling of being drunk is so wonderful, and it's not too bad.

After a while, I heard a small sound and felt someone walk up to me and look at me quietly. Then he spoke, words that surprised me.

"Are you immobile, but your mind is clear?"

"You have a dead air on you, you should have been to some places you shouldn't go, you should have touched things you shouldn't touch, and you can live for half a year without accidents."

"Let's go out for a walk."

Then I felt Xiao Mu pinch a few times behind my back, and I sat up with a spirit.

Zuoma looked at me and smiled, Xiaomu had already walked out of the yard.
