After dinner, without waiting for Niu Datong to open his mouth, Lu Banxin led her to the bedroom on the second floor, and he went to the basement.

It has been two full days since the Black Mist Incident, and in the past two days, the inland half-hearted people have received even more information than ordinary people in several lifetimes, and I am afraid that other immature girls would have been scared silly. Fortunately, she was sensible early, especially after her grandfather died, and the big and small things at home and school were basically her own decisions. And when she was very young, grandpa exercised her mind intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that it was also a foundation for her to be able to digest it perfectly.

Father went to the Fang family's old house, the old mattress had been removed, only a bed frame remained, Lu Banxin sat at the head of the bed with his knees crossed, imagining what kind of evil creatures lived in that dark place; The power of the remnant soul of the Han Qi is so strong, how terrifying its intact soul must be; Brother Zhu Heng went to the abyss, would he be in danger there?

Her gaze kept wandering around the room, the empty tables and chairs, the turned off lamps, the empty closets, the locked ...... Box?

Lock?

Lu Banxin stared at the ancient lock on the wooden box, her eyes lit up unconsciously, she jumped up from the bed suddenly, and stretched her hand to her neck.

She wore a pendant around her neck, which was a brass key, identical in color and style to the lock.

Lu Banxin tugged on the pendant's hand and trembled uncontrollably.

The brass key is a relic left to her by her mother, and after her mother died of illness, Lu Banxin has always worn it on her body, no matter how windy or rainy, bathing and swimming, she has never taken it off. Her mother died when Lu Banxin was five years old, and her father said that the family was poor at that time, and they couldn't afford to buy a camera or spare money to take pictures, so the family didn't even leave a photo of her.

Lu Banxin has always had regrets about this matter, so she has always treasured this brass key as a baby, originally thought that the memory of her mother in this life was only this pendant, but she didn't expect to find the same lock in her grandfather's room. Although she didn't know if she could open it, she had a strange instinct that convinced her that the lock and the pendant must be one and the same.

Is my mother trying to tell me something? But why is the lock in Grandpa's room? And the box doesn't seem to be locked in my memory, could it be that I remembered it wrong?

Lu Banxin asked himself in his heart, turned over and got out of bed, and walked to the wooden box. She inhaled hard, and when she had calmed down completely, she carefully slipped the brass key into the keyhole.

Fit!

With a 'snap' sound, the lock opened.

Lu Banxin's heart beat violently again, and she quickly took off the lock and opened the wooden box.

There was a row of books and a stack of opened letters neatly placed in the box, Lu Banxin's eyes stayed on the envelope, the sender was his father Lu Dahai, and the recipient was Wen Ruyun, her mother.

Seeing that long-lost name reappear after many years, Lu Banxin only felt a sour nose, tears flowed unconsciously, and then a red figure drilled out in the depths of her mind.

My mother loved the color red, and I remember that most of her wardrobe was full of all kinds of red clothes, and my mother was also very beautiful, she liked to wear bright lipstick, paint delicate makeup, and like to dye her hair reddish-brown with big wavy curls. I still remember my mother's preferences, but Lu Banxin couldn't remember her appearance.

She took out a letter and read the date on the postmark: July 19, 1996, 23 years ago, and her parents should have been in love at that time.

Hurriedly opened the letterhead, but the content was a little unexpected, not so much a letter, but a few pages of running accounts, which recorded all the father's activities during the week, including eating, sleeping, working, and what things were bought, how much money was spent, who met and what words were said.

Lu Banxin knew that his father was stupid and didn't say anything fanny, but he was sincere to everyone, but this letter was too sincere, even if his father was honest, but in that era, it was not a novel and TV without romance, even if he copied it, it would not turn the love book into a running account.

Putting aside the identity of the Lu family, his father is just an ordinary clerk in a small city, he has no handsome appearance, no family wealth, and a simple and honest personality, but he can marry a beautiful woman like his mother, what means did he use? Is it relying on this kind of prosaic running account? Let the mother discover the unknown virtues of the father, so marry him?

Lu Banxin opened another letter with doubts, it was still a week's running account, and the contents of dozens of letters were almost identical.

Well, maybe Mom was really moved by Dad's running account.

Lu Banxin said to himself, casually put the letter back in the box, took out a yellowed book, and flipped through it.

The material of the pages does not look like paper, but it feels soft to the touch, like some kind of animal skin, bound into a book with thick thread, and each page is painted with a strange animal, some with two heads, some with three eyes. It also depicts strangely dressed humans, dressed in crude animal skins, with their heads cucked in hoods, and their exposed skin painted in various patterns with oil paint.

There is no text in the whole book, only four words are written with a brush on the last page - the first layer of the abyss.

Lu Banxin was very smart, and from the color of the pattern, the appearance of the creatures drawn, and the last four words, he guessed that this booklet recorded the evil creatures living in the first layer of the abyss, as well as the humans inside.

However, the fact that there were humans in the abyss shocked Lu Banxin.

Although Zhu Heng didn't say much about the abyss, but thinking about it, it was also a land shrouded in darkness, with no sunlight all year round, maybe water and food were also scarce, and they had to face danger all the time, and the living conditions of those people were probably extremely limited, and since Qianfu Mountain carried the heavy responsibility of sealing the Hanqi, the awakened would definitely set foot in their territory from time to time, so is their attitude towards Qianfu Mountain friend or foe?

Lu Banxin was half curious and half worried, and flipped through several animal skin books one after another, she calculated, the book that recorded all the biological forms on the first floor of the abyss was divided into six books, three on the second floor, all of which were strange animals and humans, two on the third floor, and four on the fourth floor...... There are no four floors.

Putting the hides back into the wooden box one by one, Lu Banxin took out all the letters, arranged them neatly according to the date of the postmark, turned on the lamp, and read them again seriously, not missing a word, not even a punctuation mark.

Although the content of the letter was unremarkable and there was nothing else in the wooden box, Lu Banxin firmly believed that her mother must have left something for herself, but she had not found it yet.
