Chapter 19: Parchment Packets
The paper of this book is much finer, but there is still a certain gap compared to those books in the current world.
The book doesn't have a cover, I don't know what it's called. The handwriting on the first page is blurred in places. Chu Tianlu turned to the second page and looked at it casually. The book is written in traditional Chinese, and Chu Tianlu is often exposed to these words because he likes feng shui, so this is not a problem for him.
After reading two lines, he already understood that this was a book about Feng Shui. Getting an old book with similar hobbies, Chu Tianlu felt a little comforted in his heart.
He quickly flipped to the back, wanting to see what was written on these post-integrated items. Could it be a lost cheat? Chu Tianlu couldn't help but have a small sense of expectation in his heart.
Behind this is a vernacular text written with a fountain pen, and the handwriting is also very upright. I don't think it was written by the second uncle, or maybe the second uncle's words have grown recently.
In the late autumn of 1977, despite the opposition of the boss and the boss, I wanted to go to the sand to improve the predicament of the family, and finally the boss was persuaded by me. I took the old man to Biaozigou......
Chu Tianlu saw that there was a nervousness involving his father for no reason. Then I thought that this should be the self-prosecution left by the second uncle when he left.
Chu Tianlu's heart rose to his throat at this time, and he couldn't wait to look at it. There's a good chance there's a secret his father wouldn't want to tell him.
Everything is going well in the beginning......
Because I was careless, my men bought fakes............
I was cowardly and cowardly at that time, and I didn't pull the old man out at the first time......
The boss also left Changsha with his family because of this......
At that time, I used the excuse of begging my mother-in-law to move the old man. And the old man also died because of this incident, and I swore that I would not marry in this life......
Chu Tianlu read it in one go, and his mood became heavy. From the self-complaint he left behind, Chu Tianlu read the second uncle's self-blame and remorse, and that deep sense of powerlessness and remorse has been filling him for the rest of his life.
Chu Tianlu had a new view of his second uncle at this moment, and it was a kind of respect from the heart. At the same time, he is full of sympathy for his second uncle's life.
Because I just watched the self-report squatting for too long, there will be a tingling sensation under my feet. He quickly got up, stretched out his hand and kept patting his legs to speed up the blood circulation so that his legs would not be numb.
Both feet also stomped slightly on the spot, and this stamping accidentally turned the emergency light placed on the side, and the direction of the emergency light immediately changed direction. This inadvertent touch made Chu Tianlu startled, and his eyes quickly followed the light.
At this look, Chu Tianlu actually saw that there seemed to be a black thing curled up at the edge of the light illuminated by the light. The black thing seemed to be shaking all the time, like a sobbing that brought the body to shake. That position was just the afterglow of the lights.
How could something appear in this dark rumbling room? He'd already swept the room with an emergency light. A chill came out, and Chu Tianlu's first reaction was that he had just gotten up too violently, causing his eyes to dazzle.
"Is it haunted?" It's okay if you don't think about it, the goosebumps all over your body are up, is this basement so evil? .
Chu Tianlu stood in place and didn't dare to move, and the curled black shadow didn't move. Chu Tianlu kept breaking out in a cold sweat.
Chu Tianlu and the shrunken black shadow were in such a stalemate. After a long while, Chu Tianlu slowly calmed down. It's not a problem to think about going on like this, you have to find a way to get out.
"Grandma is a bear, are the living still afraid of you? Lao Tzu is going to be afraid of you, and the soldiers have been in vain in the past few years" Thinking of this. He suddenly made a move, picked up the emergency light and quickly shone in the direction of the black shadow, and his whole body was tense and ready to pounce at any time.
"Huh...... No!! I've heard that people are scary and scared to death, but I haven't heard that I scared myself to death, so I won't set this precedent, right!! Chu Tianlu was still not sure, so he used the emergency light to shine around. There was nothing in the basement, and if there was one, it might be a little more ghostly.
Chu Tianlu was sure that there was really nothing in the basement at this time, and the emergency light in his hand shone on the place where the curled black shadow had just appeared, as if he was afraid that as soon as the light left, the curled black shadow would appear again. The man also moved slowly.
After walking three or four steps, Chu Tianlu's eyes lit up, and he saw a light flashing in front of him, and it disappeared in an instant. I couldn't help muttering in my heart again: "It's really his grandmother's evil today!" Have you been bored at home lately, and your brain has been bored? Tomorrow I have to go out anyway to breathe. ”
At the same time, a small corner peeked out of the torn edge of the parchment paper in which it had been wrapped. What glowed just now was the reflection of the thing's emergency lights.
At this time, Chu Tianlu remembered the slight crisp sound that came from when he poured it out of the bag just now.
The sheepskin wrap was small, wrapped in a circle four or five centimeters in diameter. It should have fallen down and rolled here when Chu Tianlu poured the bag out with his temperament just now. The package is intact except for the broken corner where the white object is exposed. Judging from the traces of damage, it should have just been knocked out.
Chu Tianlu really didn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, so he stepped forward and picked up the parchment paper and quickly put it in his pocket. Turn around and climb the stairs out of the basement.
After carefully restoring the basement entrance, Chu Tianlu opened the locked door and came to the living room. The free and casual atmosphere exuded from the spacious and bright living room washed away the mood that Chu Tianlu had been suppressing.
Chu Tianlu looked at the old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging on the wall, and the hands were just pointing to two o'clock.
He had just fumbled in a dark room, which led him to have no idea of time at all.
Chu Tianlu said in surprise. "Damn, it's already two o'clock. It's time to go to bed. ”
He went to the side of the cabinet in the living room, picked up the teabottle, poured a glass of water, and walked into his room.
Chu Tianlu, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and the appearance of the painting would appear in his mind, and the broken cabinet in the basement would appear in his mind. There was also the black shadow that was curled up, and after a while, I remembered the second uncle's self-complaint. Anyway, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Chu Tianlu sat up and leaned his back against the head of the bed to sort out his thoughts.
It turned out that my father was also a tomb robber when he was young. According to what the second uncle wrote, it's still a powerful stubble, and I really can't see it.
Chu Tianlu changed his posture and continued to think: It turned out that it was his grandfather's death that caused him to fall out with his second uncle before leaving Changsha. No wonder he never mentions my second uncle!!
