The old man didn't speak, so he took out a brown paper envelope from the pocket of his coat and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Oh, it stands to reason that I can't mention these things, after all, your grandfather's name still has a bit of weight in the territory of Chengdu, na, I gave you something, do you want to see it, but it has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he looked at me gloomily.

I said in my heart that this old man did not leak a drop of water, and he picked himself up in just a few words, since you want to pull me into the water, how can you not let you get three points of mud.

I smiled and took the envelope, touched it with my hand, and found that there was a hard object inside, and the envelope was not sealed, so I poured it out directly.

The contents fell on my table with a bang, and I thought it would be jade or a small piece of iron, but I didn't expect it to be a key, a bronze key that had turned green.

I looked puzzled, turned my head and asked the old man, "Ah Gong, this is ......."

"The key to your second uncle's basement."

Basement? The second uncle's house is a three-story small building rebuilt by himself, and there is a basement at the bottom I know, and I heard the second uncle say that there are some waste furniture there, and I have never entered it.

The old man saw what I was thinking and continued: "Here, there is something you want, what to do, you can weigh it yourself, ah I won't bother." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the house, and when he was about to reach the door, he stopped at his feet, turned around and said, "Old man, I will wait for you for two days at most, and you can think slowly about whether to go or not." ”

I didn't react until the old man was gone, I didn't know what the old man was going to do, he actually gave me the key to the basement of my second uncle's house, is there something in it?

Is there anything that the second uncle can't show me, and he must hide it in this place? The second uncle's family has the most spiritual weapons, so it can't be for me to touch the spiritual weapons, right?

I took out my mobile phone and made a call to the second uncle, but I didn't expect the second uncle's mobile phone to be turned off, and I thought that he hadn't shown up for seven or eight days, and I guess he might have gone to the ground again.

My intuition tells me that if I really go to the second uncle's basement this time, I will definitely see something unbelievable, and I will be involved in a whirlpool, but as soon as I see the key in my hand and want to investigate the results of my second uncle recently, my psychology is itchy, is it really Tai Sui's life? Always interested in these things?

After closing in the afternoon, I drove my little jeep home, all the way my mind was chaotic, and when I stopped the car to see, I was stunned for a moment, and I actually drove to the door of my second uncle's house, shouldn't I go home? How did you get here?

The iron door downstairs of the second uncle's house was locked, and there was no light inside, so I knew that the second uncle was definitely not at home, thinking that he was already here, so I got out of the car and walked in directly.

The whole yard is not big, there are a lot of bonsai in it, although the second uncle has a little bit of Jianghu atmosphere in things, but he is still a very particular person in life. On weekdays, the second uncle goes to various handicaps to go to the tents, and when he has nothing to do, he sits in the yard and drinks tea, and rarely sees him have any entertainment.

This is a small courtyard bought from others when the second uncle was eighty-five years old, the location is very remote, it is almost to the junction of urban and rural areas, and then he made his general plate, the family is rarely over, and every day he comes here is the deputy of the various handicap to account and take the goods.

I remember that when I was in ninety-five years, the second uncle's business had already done well, so he renovated it again and added two floors, the first floor was the living room, the second floor was the warehouse, and the inside were all newly unearthed artifacts, and there was only one room on the third floor, where the second uncle generally lived.

The entrance to the basement is on the corner of the first floor, and there is a small door there, but it has been locked, and I have never entered. I grabbed a flashlight from the living room, thinking that there should be no light inside, lest I wait until I go in and see nothing.

The lock was a little rusty, and as soon as the old man inserted the key for me, there was a hissing sound of metal rubbing in the lock cylinder, and I twisted it from side to side a few times, and suddenly there was a clatter, and the lock opened.

At this time, there was a trace of apprehension in my heart, the iron door was already rusty, and the squeak of the doorpost rubbing made my palms sweat, and my heart was pounding, I didn't know what would be inside.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, took a deep breath and tried to calm myself, and then leaned sideways through the crack in the door and inside.

As soon as I entered, it was suddenly dark, the whole room was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, and then there was a pungent musty smell, this room should have been no one in for a long time, and the dense cobwebs on the door frame were sticking to my face just now.

After I got used to the darkness inside, I turned on the flashlight and shone it, and found that the whole basement was not big, only a dozen square meters, and there were some old chairs inside, and there was a writing desk against the wall, which used to be red, but now it has been blistered, and the patent leather on the surface has risen and fallen off.

I walked slowly inside, and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary, everything had a thick layer of dust on it, and if there was anything to hide here, it was only the drawer of the desk that might contain something.

I walked over and took a flashlight and noticed that there was still a glass on the desk, and there were some old photos pressed under the glass. There are about a dozen photos, basically taken by the second uncle when he was young, I looked at it casually, and I didn't see anything valuable, so I was ready to look at the drawer of the desk.

At the moment when my flashlight moved down, the light shone on a photo in the lower right corner of the table, which was set aside alone, and the content of this photo was different from the others.

It seems to have been taken in the wild, and the whole photo has turned yellow, but it can be barely seen that it was taken by a lake, and there are several people in old-fashioned wetsuits.

Well? Second uncle liked diving when he was young? When I thought about it, I thought it was impossible, how could that old thing go swimming except to go to the ground and do some indescribable, and it was still diving.

No, it doesn't seem like a photo of a visit, because I saw a corner of a tent in the lower right corner of the photo, with a few words blurred on it: "Geological Expedition." ”

Expedition? Could it be that the second uncle used to be engaged in geology? Later, he changed jobs and became a Tufuzi, is this a return to the essence or a professional upgrade?

I lifted the glass open, pulled out this photo and turned it over, and there were a few words written on the back: "In 1970, the water quality of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain was measured." ”

In 1970? At that time, the second uncle should have only been in his twenties, and the second uncle definitely didn't know how to do any measurements, and he couldn't even read the data, so how could he have this photo?

I adjusted the aperture and looked at the whole photo carefully, and this time I found that in the lower left corner of the photo, there were two other people, these two people were not wearing wetsuits, only half of their bodies were exposed, sitting on a rock, and they thought they were smoking.

Well? I think something is wrong, this photo has turned yellow, coupled with the photographic technology at the time, these two people have been very blurry, if you don't look closely, it is impossible to notice, but these two people seem to have seen them somewhere, and I always feel very familiar.
