I want to ask more things, but the eldest brother is reluctant to say more, he calmly drank the eight-treasure porridge one by one, I looked at him, and suddenly wanted to know what was hidden behind his calm face, he was adopted when he was three years old, and he came back for more than two months, but he seems to know more about the whole Fudigou than I, a person who has lived here since childhood.

For example, this incident, Uncle Zhu Zi is a fool's corpse fisher, I have heard of this, but the fool's corpse was fished out of the twelve ghost caves, this is the first time I have heard of it, even in the village, absolutely no one knows, the eldest brother is not a person who talks nonsense, he said so, the truth must be so, so the question is how does he know all this?

The eldest brother didn't give me any explanation, and waited until he walked out of his house before I was relieved, my eldest brother who came back suddenly, he himself is a mystery, from the fact that he can judge life and death, can enter the twelve ghost caves, and now his insight into some things that others don't know, all illustrate this.

I'm not a very curious person, but now I find that my eldest brother is a person who can hang my appetite and curiosity to the point that I can't give me an answer, which makes me feel very painful, but I have to accept it.

After leaving his house, I am going to find Uncle Zhuzi, to be honest, if I am a little selfish, I don't need to worry, because then I can justifiably continue to accompany Han Xue at night, but if I really do this, I am too inhuman, the most important thing is that I can't really protect Han Xue, if something really happens, I can't regret it.

About Uncle Zhuzi, I am still very familiar, familiar can not be familiar with the kind, there is an old saying that is good, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, after my father was skinned to death, my mother was actually still young, and more importantly, my mother was a famous beauty when she was young, which can be seen until now, I once heard the uncles in the village say that when my father drove my mother back with an ox cart, my mother wearing a cheongsam almost stared out their eyes, After reacting, they all sighed that my father was lucky enough to marry a woman like my mother. So after my father died, many people said that they wanted to take care of my mother, but my mother was a strong person and refused everyone's wishes.

Uncle Zhu is an old bachelor in the village, since he can remember, he will come to the house to help when my family is busy with farming, and he will come if there is any heavy work that a woman can't do in the family, he has insisted on it for more than ten years, and the people in the village say that he has a leg with my mother, and when he sees me, he will laugh at him as my stepfather, when I was a child, I had a strong self-esteem, and I felt that I was ashamed of my person, so I hated him for a while, but when I grew up, I gradually felt that if there was a man like Uncle Zhuzi to take care of my mother, she would not be so hard, But at this time, I realized that in fact, Uncle Zhu and my mother didn't mean this, no matter how it was spread outside, the two of them were actually very simple friends. He insisted on helping my family for nearly twenty years, out of pure pity for our orphans and widows, and my mother was able to accept his help, perhaps because he did not have the same purpose as everyone else.

I thought about it and walked to Uncle Zhuzi's house, the door was not closed, it was now more than seven o'clock, Uncle Zhuzi had gotten up, Uncle Zhuzi looked at me, I felt that the expression on his face was very strange, because on weekdays he always smiled honestly when he saw my words, but today it was very unnatural, he stood up and said, "Let's go, talk in the house." ”

After arriving at the house, Uncle Zhu Zi moved a stool for me, and he nested on a small stool and smoked a cigarette, his face was still worried, and I asked, "Uncle, are you not feeling well today?" ”

Uncle Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "No." ”

"And what's wrong with you?" I asked.

Uncle Zhu looked at me, smiled bitterly and said, "It was your eldest brother who asked you to come to me, right?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, originally I was still a little skeptical of my eldest brother's words, but after listening to Uncle Zhuzi's words, I looked at him and asked, "So what the eldest brother said is true, you really fished out the fool from the twelve ghost caves?" ”

Uncle Zhu took a hard puff of his cigarette, and then sighed and said, "Yes." ”

"What's going on?" When Uncle Zhu really admitted it, I was a little unacceptable, the eldest brother can enter the ghost cave, although I was surprised at the time, but I attributed the reason to the fact that the eldest brother has learned the skills of a master in the more than 20 years outside, but this honest farmer I have known for so many years, is there also a secret that I don't know?

Uncle Zhu stood up and walked out and closed the door, and then came back and closed the door again, I saw that he looked very nervous, and the whole person was also nervous, and then Uncle Zhu threw me a cigarette, and lit one himself: "Yezi, if you have a chance, you can tell your brother, just say what I said, your father's death has nothing to do with me." ”

As soon as he said this, I quickly waved my hand to stop him and said, "Wait, wait, what do you mean by that?" How did it have anything to do with my father's death? ”

Uncle Zhu looked at me and said helplessly: "Yezi, don't you understand?" What your brother can solve by himself, he just asked you to come to me, just to test me, to test me if I am the murderer of your father. ”

I looked at Uncle Zhuzi, I felt that I could catch something from his words, but I felt that I couldn't grasp it, I stopped him again and said, "I still don't understand what you mean!" ”

"The one who killed your father was an insider, an insider in the metaphysics industry. Your father was skinned, not by a butcher, but by a secret method! It's sorcery! Uncle Zhu said.

I only felt like a lightning bolt in my head, I squinted my eyes, and remembered the mysterious message on Tianya when I was in college, and that netizen's statement coincided with Uncle Zhuzi's current statement!

"Do you know the Dao?" I looked at Uncle Zhu and asked.

"No, it won't." Uncle Zhu said.

"Then how did you get into the Twelve Ghost Caves? Uncle, it's all this time, are you still lying? I said.

"I was able to go in because someone gave me a talisman, and without that talisman, I might have died in it by that time." Uncle Zhu said.

"Who gave it to you?" I immediately asked.

Uncle Zhu shook his head and said: "Ye Zi, don't ask, I won't say it, I promised that person to keep it a secret for him, and that person will definitely not be the one who killed your father, absolutely not." ”

I looked at Uncle Zhuzi, I didn't expect everything to be told by my eldest brother, Uncle Zhuzi, whom I have known for many years, even really regarded him as a stepfather, in fact, I didn't know him at all. What I didn't expect was that my eldest brother was actually tracking down my father's murderer!

After Uncle Zhu said this, I watched him not speak again, and the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden.

Uncle Zhu lit another cigarette, and the continuous smoking could only show that he was restless, and after a while, he sighed and said: "After so many years, I think many things should be over, but as soon as your eldest brother came back, and was so powerful, I knew that this matter was definitely not over." He's going to look into your father's business. ”

I looked at him with a sneer and said, "Shouldn't I check?" ”

Uncle Zhu glanced at me, a trace of helplessness crossed his eyes, and he also smiled and said: "It should be checked, too, in the past, I was afraid that you would investigate, afraid that you would be poisoned, but now that your eldest brother is back, according to his ability, he can also protect you." ”

After speaking, Uncle Zhu stood up and said, "Yezi, you come with me." ”

Uncle Zhu led me into his bedroom, to be honest, I have been to Uncle Zhuzi's house many times, but his bedroom has always been locked, and I have never been in, and there are many people who know that Uncle Zhuzi's bedroom is locked, and they all laugh at Uncle Zhuzi's money saved by working all these years in it, so it is locked.

After entering, there is a strong sandalwood fragrance inside.

A bed, a bedside table, and a long table with two black-and-white photographs enshrined on the table.

These are two photos of women, posthumous photos to be exact.

Each photo is preceded by an incense burner with incense sticking to it.

"What is this?" I asked.

"I've had two wives, both dead." Uncle Zhu said softly.
