Chapter 7: The Secret of the Diary
On the way, the driver asked me what I was doing in Beishan, and I casually replied to worship the Buddha.
How do you know that the driver was happy after listening to it, "Little brother, are you joking, where is there a temple on Beishan." ”
I was stunned, "Are you sure?" ”
The driver smiled: "That's for sure, I've been here for more than forty years, I know where there is a temple in this city, but there is definitely no temple in Beishan." ”
Then he told me about the situation in Beishan, which is a wilderness and there are very few people living nearby, let alone a temple, and he said that at most he can only send me to the foot of the mountain, because there is no road on it, and the car cannot drive up.
There is no need for him to lie to me, but I feel quite puzzled in my heart, since there is no temple on Beishan, which temple does Zheng Dong go to worship in Beishan?
Thinking so, I hurriedly asked the driver to turn around, I'm not a fool, even the taxi driver doesn't know the place, even if there is, Beishan is so big, I used to look for a needle in a haystack.
For a few days, things didn't make any progress, and I was tossed and choked enough, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and my mind was full of these messes when I opened and closed my eyes.
My spirit was also close to collapse, and I wanted to give up, and I wanted to die or resign myself to fate, but the old man encouraged me vigorously, saying that I was still so young, I couldn't just give up so easily, and if I persevered, things would definitely take a turn for the better.
And the old man has been very good to me these days, seeing that I am not in a good mental state, he will make me delicious food every day.
I was a little moved, so I asked him, this matter actually has nothing to do with him, why do you want to help me so hard.
"You're talking, what do you mean it's okay with me?"
I didn't expect the old man to be unhappy when he heard this, "If it's just you, it's too late for me to hide from this kind of thing, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, if you want to live, I can't watch my old wife continue to harm people, and I know that it didn't mean to, there must be something forcing her to do this, and I can't let her continue to suffer!" ”
Then he began to babble about many past events between him and Wang Po, and when it came to emotion, his eyes turned red again.
When I saw him like this, I felt very uncomfortable, and I could see that he was really thinking about Wang Po, and he said that he was an old companion, which was not false at all.
Compared with today's young people, what kind of mountain alliance and sea oath at every turn, the sea is dry and rotten, and the relationship between the old man and the princess seems ordinary, but it is the most indestructible.
Under the infection of the old man, I regained my spirits, he was right, I am still so young, I can't just give up so easily, who doesn't want to live, besides, I'm still a virgin.
And I also know that even if it is relatively calm these days, this matter will definitely not pass so easily, and I don't know when it will erupt, so I must hurry up and find out the truth of the matter, and the sooner it will be for me, the better.
I still didn't give up on the clue of Beishan, and I walked around Beishan with the old man during the day, inquired about the nearby mountain people, and studied the note left by Zheng Dong at night.
After more than a week, we were both about to be tossed apart, but things still didn't go any way.
During this period, some strange things happened one after another, and I began to be unlucky again, as before, I either lost my wallet or my keys when I went out, and once I came back from outside, and I encountered something that suddenly I couldn't find my way in a familiar environment.
The old man said that it was eighty percent that those things were starting to make waves again, and told me to hurry, because no one could have predicted when the final disaster would come.
My heart also began to hang day by day, this night, I took out the note and continued to study it as before, and I can now recite the content with my eyes closed, and I have also checked a lot of information on the Internet, but I have found no clues.
I now feel like I want to vomit when I see those lines, and I feel dizzy after reading it for a while, so I have no choice but to put down the note for the time being, and take out the black-shell notebook that I brought out of Zheng Dong's house and look through it.
In fact, I have read the things in this notebook countless times, but the things on it did not make me feel bored, because Zheng Dong is very literary, and his writing is also very beautiful, and there are some essays on it, or some small poems he created or something, which is very comfortable to read.
Before I knew it, it was the middle of the night again, and I yawned and was ready to sleep first and continue the next day.
But the moment I closed my notebook, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind!
After reading it, I quickly opened the notebook again, and read the entire notebook content from the first page word for word.
Then I took out the note and compared it, and immediately found a very important detail!
What Zheng Dong wrote in that notebook, no matter what the content or subject, the words and sentences were very precise, and the punctuation marks were also very standardized.
But there was obviously something wrong with the content of the note, and the handwriting could be determined to be his, but I found a detail, every sentence on the note was followed by a full stop, which was very inconsistent with his usual writing habits.
And a person's habits are difficult to change, which shows the fact that Zheng Dong did it deliberately!
But what exactly was he trying to imply?
My heart began to pound, and I vaguely felt that the secret of this note was getting closer and closer to me, but it was still a little bit away.
Then the gaze shifted to the date of payment, 18.2.29.
This is obviously the wrong date, so it is very likely that Zheng Dong wants to get my attention, and this date must have an absolute connection with the above content!
I stared at the note and frowned, feeling almost like that......
Airplanes!
I don't know how long it took, but a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, and my breathing began to become rapid, and I finally guessed the secret hidden in this note!
Knock Knock Knock –
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and I realized that it was already dawn, and I knew that it was the old man without guessing.
At this time, he would bring me breakfast on time at this point every day, and when I opened the door, I saw him carrying buns and fritters, and saw that my face was a little wrong, so he quickly asked me nervously what was wrong.
"I know the secret of that note!"
I looked at him very excitedly, and dragged him into the house, but he struggled for a moment, "The king of heaven covers the tiger!" ”
"Don't be verbose, come in quickly, chicken stew mushrooms!"
I hurriedly replied that since I knew that there was something impersonating me, we had made a code, and every time we met, we had to match the code before we started to talk about things.
"What did you say?" He also looked excited.
I spread the note and the black-shell notebook on the table, "We've always fallen into the trap that what is on it doesn't really matter......
As I spoke, I pointed to the date, "The date itself is not important, what matters is the number that matters." ”
"Numbers?" The old man looked dazed.
I nodded, and pointed to the text again, "Every sentence is followed by a full stop, indicating that these sentences are relatively independent, you count them, how many sentences are there here?" ”
The old man counted carefully, "Five sentences, what's wrong?" ”
I said, "Then you count the date, how many numbers are there?" ”
The old man counted again, "It's also five, what does this mean......
As he spoke, the old man suddenly paused, stared at the note, and after a while, he slapped the table hard, his face immediately became rosy, and he said excitedly, "I understand, so that's the case, high, really high!" ”
The mystery of the note is finally solved!
18.2.29, five numbers, corresponding to five sentences, the first sentence, gold is full of streets, the corresponding number is 1, so this sentence wants to express only one word, that is, the word "gold".
By analogy, in the second sentence, countless people take the car to Sichuan to see the sea, and the corresponding number is 8, and the eighth word of this sentence is the word "Sichuan".
And the whole paragraph goes like this: the streets are full of gold. Countless people take the car to Sichuan to see the sea. Wild dogs cooking on the trail. There was a large rock floating in the water. Four stars fell from the sky.
According to the 18.2.29 string of numbers, it is a sentence: Jinchuan Road 14.
It turned out that Zheng Dong wanted to tell me an address: No. 14 Jinchuan Road!
And this address may well be the root of all mysteries.
