Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret of the House
The meaning of Qin Hanmin's last words was obviously to drive us away, he must have some unspeakable hardship in doing this, maybe it was because we saw that grimace that made him have some kind of worry, so he decided to let us go.
If that's the case, then he must know what's going on with the grimace, thinking of this, I asked Liu Fang: "He suddenly wants to drive us away, why do you think it's why?" ”
After Liu Lifang heard my culture, she first shook her head, then got up and paced back and forth, and after walking two laps, her footsteps suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something.
Then she said to me unhurriedly: "There are only two possibilities for Uncle Qin to do this, the first possibility is that he should have some ulterior secret that he can't let others know, and this secret is likely to have something to do with this grimace."
Then this second possibility may be because he has experienced something terrible before, and this terrible thing must also be related to this grimace, so after he learned that we found out about the existence of Grimace, he was worried that we would be frightened or something would happen because of it, so he had to let us leave. ”
After Liu Lifang finished speaking, I nodded in agreement, from her analysis of this problem, it can be seen that her mind is extremely meticulous, in fact, think about it carefully, it is indeed the case, in addition to the two possibilities she said, I will find out the third possibility, but now no matter which possibility it is, people have already issued an eviction order, we can't rely on not leaving, so I asked her: "Then what do you say we should do tomorrow, do you really want to leave?" ”
Liu Lifang nodded, and then said to me with a smile: "Yes, we will leave early tomorrow morning, but not really go, but find a place to hide for the time being, and then we will sneak back secretly after dark, and then we can know if there is anything wrong with Uncle Qin after we leave, or what he will do, and also look at what is going on with that grimace." ”
When she said this, she paused, then took a few sips of water and continued: "And in this way, we are in the dark, they are in the light, and the initiative will naturally come to our hands. ”
Liu Lifang's idea is indeed good, but her current injury is not completely good, and now is the time to rest, such a toss, if the wound is infected again, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly said: "No, let's wait until your injury is healed, tomorrow I will go to Qin Hanmin to talk, let him stay with us for a few more days, and wait for your injury to heal before leaving." ”
As soon as Liu Lifang heard this, she immediately did several chest expansion exercises, and also kicked out a high leg raise, and then said to me proudly: "You see, I'm completely fine now, even if I fight, it's not a problem, and we don't do any physical work, just use our brains, you can rest assured, I know my body, besides, even if there is really something, with a master like you, what am I afraid of!" ”
She said so, and I had to nod my head in agreement, and then the two of us briefly discussed tomorrow's affairs, and then went to the kang to rest.
There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, we simply cleaned up and went to Qin Hanmin to say goodbye, Qin Bo left us to have breakfast, and prepared some dry food for us to eat on the road, and finally said to us very embarrassed: "Old man, I really can't stand the two, please forgive me, don't hate my bad old man!" ”
I hurriedly arched my hand and said: "Old man, don't say that, the two of us have been begging for mercy in your house for a long time, thanks to your care during this time, Lifang's injuries are basically better, so we have to quickly find the lost troops, and when we find the troops, we will come back to thank you." ”
Qin Hanmin didn't speak again, just sighed incessantly, and finally said when he sent us out: "Take care, don't come back in the future, otherwise it will be."
Qin Hanmin didn't say anything further when he said this, and Liu Lifang and I didn't continue to ask, the two glanced at each other, said goodbye and walked straight up the mountain
In fact, Liu Lifang and I have already discussed it last night, we are going to go to the mountain first, find a secret place to hide, and then wait for it to get dark and then quietly return
We walked along the mountain road for a short time, and found a crack in the mountain that could accommodate four or five people at the same time, and the inside was very clean, and it seemed that it would not be a problem to live in people, so we simply cleaned it up and moved in.
After dark, we ate some dry food and secretly came to the courtyard wall of Qin Hanmin's house, and when it was more than nine o'clock, we climbed the wall and carefully observed the movement inside the house.
The house where we used to live did not turn on the lights, only Qin Hanmin's house was lit, but through the window, we could see that there was no movement in the house, as if there was no one in the house.
Time passed little by little, and my eyes never left Qin Hanmin's house for a moment, but the strange thing was that the light in his room was never extinguished.
I clearly remember that Qin Hanmin slept very early on weekdays, and basically turned off the lights at eight o'clock, but today it is very abnormal, and now it is past ten o'clock, and the lights are still on, did he forget to turn off the lights?
Thinking of this, I was going to go in and have a look, but I was stopped by Liu Lifang before I could leave, she said that if I went in now, the grimace would probably not dare to appear, so she asked me to wait and talk.
After her reminder, I calmed down and continued to crouch down on the wall to observe the situation inside.
Perhaps because of the depth of the night, the whole compound seemed extremely dark, and in this darkness I seemed to be able to smell death
The wind that was still blowing just now seemed to have stopped, making this dead courtyard seem even more terrifying and weird, if it weren't for the lights in this house, I would really think that this is an uninhabited ghost
Two hours later, the clock in the room where we had stayed rang twelve o'clock, and Liu Lifang and I immediately became nervous, our eyes fixed on the window where the grimace had appeared.
A minute passed, the grimace did not appear, and after ten minutes the grimace still did not appear, and we continued to wait patiently.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours, two fucking hours have passed, and the grimace still hasn't appeared
I really couldn't help it, so I ignored Liu Lifang's objection, turned over and walked in directly, came to Qin Hanmin's window, and secretly looked inside.
However, this look makes me even more confused, because this room is empty, and there is no shadow of Qin Hanmin at all, which means that Qin Hanmin is not in the house!
I was shocked and suspicious by this discovery, we had been outside since it was dark, and we had not seen him go out during this time, unless he had gone out during the day and had not returned.
This is not right, the light in his house is still on, which is clearly turned on after dark, so Qin Hanmin must have never been out of this courtyard, so where did he go, it can't be an inexplicable disappearance!
Thinking of this, I was going to go into the house to have a look, but just as I was about to push the door in, there was a sudden "click" sound in the house, I hurriedly retreated to the window to look into the house, and then I saw that a floor on the ground was slowly uncovered, and then a person came out from below, I took a closer look, ah! It turned out to be Qin Hanmin!
What's going on! Could it be that there is a hole in his house? That's right, it must be like this, I said why didn't I see any movement in the house all night, it turned out that he went underground, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, he actually had another thing in this house!
As soon as Qin Hanmin went up to the house, he immediately closed the floor, and then he patted the dust on his hands and walked straight to the outside of the house.
I didn't have time to go back to the wall, so I could only hide in the corner of the wall, as soon as I squatted down, Qin Hanmin came out, he looked around cautiously, and didn't seem to find me hiding in the corner.
He looked around for a long time, and when he saw that there was nothing in the courtyard, he turned back to the house, and then the lights in the house went dark, and after a few minutes I heard his snoring.
The room was so dark that I couldn't see anything, so I returned to the wall with a mind full of doubts, and then told Liu Lifang what I had just seen.
After Liu Lifang heard what I said, she didn't show the slightest surprise, as if she had known that there was a hole in Qin Hanmin's house early on.
On the way back, Liu Lifang said to me: "It's best for us to find a chance to sneak in tomorrow and see what secrets are hidden underneath, maybe this hole is the key to solving the mystery of the grimace, and it's useless to guess now, and it will naturally be clear when the time comes." ”
I nodded and didn't speak again, and quickly helped Liu Lifang all the way back to the crack in the dark.
Through this period of getting along, Liu Lifang and I are already very familiar with each other, plus we are both running rivers and lakes, so we don't feel how embarrassed it is to sleep together, so not long after lying down, we fell asleep
