Ren Tai'an told us what happened to his son Ren Bo in the antique city, and Yun Ye patted his thigh after hearing this: "Oh, if you had told me earlier, I would have taken him, your son and this liar have been to me once, I don't know what's going on and I don't care, I think this person is coaxed and I don't pay attention to him." ”

Ren Tai'an sighed: "I let him do this, it can really be described as a ruined reputation, a lawsuit, and a butt of external accounts." ”

I sighed: "Brother Ren, you don't have to be in such a hurry, aren't the police also arresting this Wu Yue everywhere?" ”

Ren Tai'an nodded: "I'm afraid that my son will be given by them as an accomplice, isn't this going around to be a disciple." ”

Yun Ye nodded: "Relax your heart, no, you are also a victim."

We exchanged pleasantries with Ren Tai'an for a while, I took a sip of tea, and got to the point: "Brother Ren, I brought Master Yun this time to ask you for something." ”

Ren Tai'an was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yun Ye and me: "What, Brother Yun and Brother Qiu, do you still have something to ask me, a marginal person?" ”

Yun Ye waved his hand and nodded: "Ren Ye, don't be modest, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." We don't know each other very well, but you know what I do. The industry knows that you have a deep knowledge of ancient writing, and we have a fresh product out of the handicap, which is a bit of a beginning, and you have to trouble you to advise you. After speaking, he took the mahogany box containing the golden mask from the little evil sitting next to him.

Ren Tai'an sighed: "Master Yun, you have also seen my current situation. Maybe tomorrow the police will arrest me and my son and sentence me to a few years, so how can I help you recognize any words. ”

He said so, and his hands were not idle. I saw Ren Tai'an take the mahogany box on the table and open the box, and when he saw the golden mask in the box, he was stunned, and looked up at me in surprise, and then looked at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye smiled: "Ren Ye, what's the matter?" ”

Ren Tai'an's face sank like water, picked up the tortoiseshell glasses beside him, put them on his head, and carefully examined the gold mask in the mahogany box.

"Master Yun, your fresh goods are from the handicap in Inner Mongolia?"

Yun Ye nodded: "Ren Ye, you turn this mask over and take a look." ”

Ren Tai'an smiled weirdly, took the mask out of the mahogany box, just turned the mask over and squinted at it, he was shocked, his eyes were very wide, as if he had been overly frightened by something terrifying.

Yun Ye looked at the frightened Ren Tai'an, and then looked at me: "Ren Ye, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ren Tai calmed down, wiped the cold sweat on his head and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't eat early in the morning, and I suddenly had a little low blood sugar just now." He looked at the mask on his hand again. Master Yun, how many people have seen this thing? ”

"I haven't let many people see it, just me, Qiu Tong and the old grandson of Peking University have seen this object."

Ren Tai'an nodded, and carefully examined the mask on his hand.

"Master Yun, what is written on this mask is the text of the ancient Khitan Kingdom."

Yun Ye nodded: "Is it really an object from the Liao Kingdom?" ”

Ren Tai'an nodded: "Yes, it is the worm Gu mask of the Liao Kingdom." ”

Yun Ye took a sip of tea: "Ren Ye, I have handled a lot of worm Gu masks in this Liao country, and I have never seen an ancient Khitan script on the back." Take a closer look at what is written on it. ”

Ren Tai'an looked embarrassed, turned his eyes to look at me in front of him, and I nodded to him. He lowered his head and looked at the mask on his hand carefully, and sighed.

"Master Qiu, Master Yun. I am only a shallow learner, I really don't know what is written on it, I'm sorry, let you go back in vain. ”

Yun Ye and I looked at each other and frowned, both of us were very surprised.

"Master Ren, you can even crack a few oracle bones of Shoubo and Guobo. Qiu Tong and I came to visit you, can't we crack the words on this mask? ”

Ren Tai'an shook his head: "Master Yun, it took me three months to crack the five oracle bones of Shoubo and Guobo. If you let me tell you what the Khitan characters on this mask mean right now, even if I am Da Luo Jinxian, I will not be able to tell you clearly. ”

Yun Ye smiled and nodded: "Ren Ye, I'm not in a hurry, why don't you take a few photos of the Khitan characters on this mask, study it slowly, and tell us if the translator understands what's going on." ”

Ren Tai'an looked at me, and I smiled again.

"Master Yun, there are a lot of rust marks on your mask, I'm afraid that the photo can't be seen clearly, won't it delay your business when the time comes?"

When Yun Ye heard what he said, he understood what he meant, and he originally wanted to leave the mask for careful study.

"Master Ren, if you are afraid that the photo will not be clear, just put this mask in your hand, it will not work in my hand, and it will be convenient for you to study."

Ren Tai'an hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, I saw that he didn't speak, and sneered at him: "Brother Ren, because this mask has killed three or four people." I always feel that this mask is not very lucky, I look at ......" said and looked at Yun Ye beside him: "What do you say?" ”。

Ren Tai'an was thrilled when he heard me say this, and hurriedly asked what was going on. Yun Ye sighed and told him about the murder of Han Jinming and the family of three in the mountains.

Ren Tai'an was not afraid after hearing this, but smiled slightly, I was stunned: "Brother Ren, why aren't you afraid to laugh with this." ”

Ren Tai'an looked at me with a smile: "Master Qiu, do you believe what Master Yun said?" ”

I shook my head hesitantly.

"We're all in this business, what strange things haven't we seen? Don't tell us about demons and monsters. ”

Yun Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Qiu Ye, you are young or short practice." ”

I nodded and smiled.

"Master Yun, then I'll put this mask away. I'll close the door, go home and study, and tomorrow morning you go to the house next to my Anhui Hall to find me, and I'll give you a clear result. ”

After hearing this, I sighed: "Brother Ren, you must pay attention to safety at night, learn from Han Jinming's previous experience, and don't have any problems." ”

Yun Ye slapped me: "Qiu Tong, you are someone else." ”

Ren Tai'an smiled and closed the box of the mask and put it in his school bag. We got up and prepared to say goodbye, Ren Tai'an nodded with his schoolbag on his back and walked out of the Rong Bao Zhai Building with us.

It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when I returned home, and I really expected to take Yun Ye to Ren Tai'an's shop and leave, but I didn't expect to sit for so long. After dinner, I lay down in bed and fell asleep in a daze.

At night, I heard the crackling of footsteps accompanied by the sound of complaining laughter. I thought to myself, it's over, I'm dreaming again. Thinking of this, I closed my eyes tightly and tried not to think about the terrifying scene, so I listened to the footsteps getting louder and louder, and I guess they came to my side. I still closed my eyes, and I felt that the terrifying figure of yesterday was standing next to me, and the sound of complaining laughter made my scalp tingle and uncomfortable.

The figure beside him suddenly stopped laughing and changed from a complaining laugh to a mournful cry.

I was stunned when I heard it, what's the matter, I don't look at you, you laugh and laugh and change to cry? I was thinking about it when I heard the terrifying figures around me muttering their words. I listened carefully.

"Autumn ...... You...... I....... Autumn Boy ...... I die. Autumn children, you ...... I die. Autumn children, you ...... Kill me! ”

Qiu Tong, you killed me? I suddenly opened my eyes and sat up, and saw that there was nothing around me, and the sky was already dark. I wiped the sweat from my head and looked at my watch, it was almost eight o'clock.

I put on my clothes and sat up from the bed. I made a cup of tea and took out two honey cakes from the refrigerator, which were still the old pairings of tea and honey cakes.

After breakfast, I picked up my phone and wanted to call Mengya and ask her to drive me to Ren Tai'an's house next to the Anhui Guild Hall. As soon as I lit up the screen of my phone, my head buzzed, and I saw that there were more than 30 missed calls on the screen. Click on it and take a look, and write three words on it.

"Ren Tai'an."

I hurriedly picked up my phone and made a call to Ren Tai'an, and the voice on the phone came out that I had already expected.

"The number you dialed is empty"
