Book 1: The Cave of the Snowy Ridge Chapter 13: Mysterious Notes
Although I drank too much last night, I didn't dare to forget everything that happened last night, if it wasn't for the fear of being followed by Uncle Jiu, how could I endure until now, at this moment, I just want to see my poor smoke and rain immediately.
So as soon as the day dawned, I got up from the bed with the sore head of alcohol, and rushed to Gurong Village without staying for a moment, and arrived at the gate of the courtyard, where Xiao Jing and the fat man were already squatting here to block me. But it was not to prevent me from going to Gurong Village, but to accompany me there, but I resolutely refused to let me.
"Ah Wang, look at the way you look now, you're half fucking crippled, so I'll go with you." The fat man opened his mouth first.
"No! With Yanyu's temper, if you go with Xiaojing, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. "I haven't forgotten that Yanyu slapped the black bear's neck, which shows that Uncle Nine is really not an ordinary person.
The fat man put his hand on my shoulder, and resolutely said without the slightest hesitation, "Ngawang! Didn't we brothers do everything together before, why can't we do it like we used to do now? ”
I still didn't screw him in the end, so I asked Xiaojing to stay and continue to wait for news from the police, Uncle Shangguan has been missing for two days, but there is still no news.
I fought with the fat man and left. Unfortunately, today coincides with a cloudy day, and the dark clouds overhead are dense, greedily shrouding the entire Gurong Village under dark clouds, and this kind of weather renders the originally weird Gurong Village even more terrifying and gloomy.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, the fat man and I looked at each other, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, and each touched the magic weapon on his body before he dared to step into this ancient banyan village.
The magic weapon I am talking about refers to the Buddhist beads in my hand, and the fat man is a necklace engraved with the word "swastika".
The fat man and I cautiously came to the rainy room step by step, only to see that the wooden door was open, and it seemed that someone had kicked it open, because the door lock had been broken, and the wooden floor of the room was stained with blood, and it had already been killed.
It seems that Yanyu came back last night, and the door should have been kicked open by her, and looking at the blood on the ground, my heart ached faintly.
How much blood does the smoke and rain have to shed? My poor smoke and rain.
This also deepened my hatred for Uncle Nine invisibly, which can be described as hatred to the bone.
There was a bunch of blue enchantresses on the table in the room, stained with dried blood, and my eyes were sour at the sight of this scene, and a warm liquid swirled in my eyes.
This bouquet of blue enchantresses is what I gave to Yanyu last night, I remember that she was reluctant to let go of her hand last night, even when she fought with Uncle Jiu, she never saw her let go of the roses in her hand, which made me warm and sad.
I froze in place and stared at the blue enchantress lying quietly on the table. The fat man patted me on the shoulder, and I understood that he meant that this place should not be stayed for long, and it was better to hurry around and look for smoke and rain.
I wiped a handful of tears and searched for the fat man in the village.
As soon as I went downstairs, there was a yin wind blowing behind me, penetrating the clothes and hitting the body, and I knew with my toes that she was coming, and the woman in red was coming. The fat man and I immediately turned around, only to see that the woman in red in front of us was still wearing a low-cut dress, still ecstatic and charming, and still barefoot.
"Little handsome guy! Do you miss me? The woman in red looked at me with all kinds of charm.
It made me feel uncomfortable, and mentally felt as if I had been "played" with by her.
"A little female ghost, she dares to be presumptuous in front of your fat brother, see if I don't accept you." The fat man couldn't drag it and scolded the woman in red.
I want to laugh when I see the fat man like this now, he has intimidated and threatened people who are stronger than him a few times before, and his momentum is also like this, but after he starts to move, he finds that he can't beat others, so he will shout "Ah Wang, you girl, don't come over and help." ”
The woman in red's eyes fell on the fat man, her eyes were no longer amorous, but became murderous and ferocious, and she squeezed out of her red lips with disdain, "There is a way in heaven, you don't go, there is no door in hell, you break in, and the old lady will abolish you today." ”
As soon as the woman in red spoke, she floated towards us, and the fat man and I took the magic weapon on our bodies at the same time to face her, her face was shocked, and she retreated a few steps away, and the fat man and I saw that it had an effect, so we aggressively approached the woman in red again, and forced her to run.
The woman in red turned around and turned into a yin wind and ran into the alley.
"Ngawang! The Buddha beads borrowed from me first," the fat man saw this, and immediately took the Buddha beads from my wrist, shouted "Hugh go", and then chased after the woman in red non-stop.
I'm going to this second goods, and I'm going to do this trick again, I really want to kick him to death, and it's nothing if the Buddha beads are taken away, but the fat man said that the wind is the urgency of the rain, and it's really annoying to me.
I didn't have a leg injury yet, and my leg and foot were not good enough to catch up. Call the fat man, he asked me to hurry up and find Yanyu, leave him alone, he is not afraid of taking the guy today, listening to his panting, he should be in a hurry.
The fat man's family still has research in this area, so I didn't care about him, the top priority is to find Yanyu, and I don't know if Yanyu is dead or alive?
I searched all over the village but didn't find it, and I suddenly remembered that Uncle Rong hadn't found it yet. So he endured the pain in his calf and hurried away, and when he arrived at Uncle Rong's cabin, he saw Uncle Rong pulling the embryo alone (an important part of making porcelain)
Xinxin still pouted with a cute little mouth, scolded me for being a big liar, and still didn't want to see me so much, and then took care of herself catching butterflies in the fence yard.
Uncle Rong was not surprised to see me coming, as if he had expected it for a long time.
After I expressed my intention, Uncle Rong got up unhurriedly, washed the mud off his hands, and walked towards me leisurely, which can really make me anxious to death.
"Young man, you're still impetuous." Uncle Rong smiled, and then said, "Let's go with the old man." ”
Seeing Uncle Rong looking so calm, he must know where the smoke and rain are.
I couldn't bear to open my mouth and said urgently: "Uncle Rong! Do you know where the smoke and rain are? Tell me quickly. ”
"Does it matter if you know and don't know?" Uncle Rong is nothing.
"Of course it's important." I'm mad.
Uncle Rong set his eyes into the distance, "How important is it, is it more important than your life?" ”
I was stunned, why did Uncle Rong suddenly ask that? But I didn't hesitate for a moment, and resolutely said one word: "Yes!" ”
Uncle Rong looked up to the sky and sighed, muttering to himself, "Bad fate! It's really a bad fate. ”
"What?" I'm confused.
"There is already a certain number in the dark, and you will naturally see each other again, so why bother pursuing it." Uncle Rong said lightly.
My heart shook, "What do you mean that you will naturally see you again?" Uncle Rong, please make it clear, where is Yanyu now, dead or alive? "I was suddenly scared, I was afraid that I would never see the smoke and rain again, I had never thought about it, and I didn't dare to think about it.
Uncle Rong said, "Don't worry! I brought it up single-handedly, how could I let her die! Before I could speak, Uncle Rong continued, "Young man! If you're really good for her and can't see her now, please go back. "I don't think Uncle Rong is joking with me, so I don't dare to ask more.
At this time, the fat man called and said that he had lost the woman in red, and was now waiting for me at the mouth of the woods. Before leaving, Uncle Rong gave me a small ceramic bottle with liquid in it, and asked me to drink it, and joked, "You are covered in bruises like this every time, how can you protect the people around you." ”
I don't know what the liquid in the bottle is, but I have a strong sense of trust in Uncle Rong, maybe it's because I love the house and the Wu bar, who made Uncle Rong is the grandfather of Yanyu, I drank the liquid in the porcelain bottle in one gulp, as light as water, and then said goodbye and left.
On the way back to the hotel, the fat man saw that I was lost and not in a high mood, so he knew that I didn't find Yanyu, and he didn't dare to ask anything, because it was all about him.
It was already noon when I returned to the hotel, and after lunch, I asked the fat man, "Why did you tell me last night that Uncle Shangguan's disappearance was related to Yanyu?" ”
The fat man looked at me, then at Xiao Jing, and said, "Let Xiao Jing tell you!" ”
I glanced at Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment and spoke: "Ah Wang! I'm sorry, I lied to you, didn't you ask me if my dad had anything to say to me before he disappeared on the day my dad disappeared.
I replied no that day, but I lied to you.
The day before my father's disappearance, when I was drying clothes on the second floor, I saw my father standing alone at the gate of the courtyard, looking panicked, and dancing from time to time, as if he was saying something "You're back!" No! No! It's not me" or something.
But I couldn't see what was in front of my dad on the second floor, and then my dad hurried into the study, and I wanted to go over and ask what was going on, and when I got to the room, I saw a woman in a red dress standing outside the courtyard, but she disappeared in a flash.
I didn't see what it looked like, and then my dad went crazy and talked all the time in the room. Xiao Jing said this, glanced at me and the fat man, and continued: "Do you remember, I was almost ...... that day" Speaking of this, Xiao Jing choked up and couldn't speak.
Both the fat man and I knew she was talking about the day when Smoke and Rain slapped the black bear to death and she was almost defiled.
I comforted her with the fat man, and when Xiaojing calmed down, she continued, "I didn't tell you that day, I saw smoke and rain.
I remember when I was a child, after my mother died, my father went crazy because he saw the smoke and rain, so I think my father's disappearance this time has something to do with the smoke and rain.
I suspect that the woman in red I saw the day before my father's disappearance was Yanyu.
I was also forced to make this decision out of helplessness, and I deceived you with the fat man. At this point, Xiao Jing secretly glanced at me ashamedly.
I suddenly realized and nodded, and then the fat man spoke, "Ngawang, haven't you always wanted to know, what did I see in the forest the night we found the corpse in Gurong Village, I will tell you now." ”
The fat man lit a cigarette, and the words rang in my ears with the smoke, "After I chased the shadow that night, I found that the shadow was the female ghost in red, and there was smoke and rain in the forest that night and the strong man in the video.
Later, I don't know why Yanyu said to the female ghost in red: "Merry ghost, if you dare to entangle my family again, Wu Nian, I will make your soul scatter." ”
And the female ghost in red just replied coldly, "Wu Nian, why is it your family?" Besides, you will kill Wu Nian sooner or later, you don't know it. ”
And at this moment, I saw a figure stepping on the fallen leaves from the darkness, that person was the ninth uncle, the ninth uncle did not say a word and pulled out the wooden sword and started fighting, and at that moment the smoke and rain disappeared without a trace.
Only the female ghost in red and Uncle Nine were left, but the female ghost in red was seriously injured by Uncle Nine and fled. ”
The fat man frowned when he said this, and then said in a serious tone, "Ngawang, think about it, if Yanyu is an ordinary person, how can she tear off the ghost's head?" You must know that the strong man has already died, he is already a ghost. And why does the woman in red say she's going to kill you sooner or later?
Including yesterday's Valentine's Day, I deliberately asked you to go on a date, the purpose was to bring out the smoke and rain. ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he was silent, just like Xiao Jing, feeling guilty for me.
Suddenly, my heart was cold, and I felt that people were really terrible sometimes, and they could calculate their friends so much for their own selfish desires, but it was also understandable, because the fat man and Xiaojing didn't expect that living would be such a consequence.
All my previous doubts vanished, but a new mystery surrounded me.
Although it is not certain whether Uncle Shangguan's disappearance was caused by the rain and rain, it is somewhat related, and the woman in red that Uncle Shangguan saw before his disappearance is very likely to be the woman in red in Gurong Village.
Also, why does the woman in red say that the smoke and rain will kill me sooner or later?
Moreover, what is the relationship between Yanyu, Uncle Shangguan and the woman in red? What is the background of the woman in red and Yanyu?
I have a hunch that the strange death of the strong man in the forest that night should be related to the woman in red, and I still remember that night a red shadow flashed first, and the strong man and the others were like evil spirits.
The fat man and Xiao Jing looked at me in a daze and didn't speak, and the fat man asked first, "Ah Wang!" What do you think? ”
"Fatty! Do you remember the night before Uncle Shangguan's disappearance, I told you about Uncle Shangguan's strange behavior? ”
The fat man nodded, "I remember, you still asked me to lock the door"
"That's right! That night, there was one more thing I didn't say, that is, after I finished telling you, when I was about to go back to my room, I saw a woman in red in the hallway, but it quickly disappeared, I thought it was my hallucination, but now it seems that it is not my hallucination, but real. ”
After hearing this, the fat man's face was shocked, and his eyes showed a trace of fear. I continued, "I now suspect that the woman in red I saw before my uncle's disappearance is the one in Gurong Village nine times out of ten. ”
The fat man had seen the woman in red, so he nodded in agreement.
I think Uncle Shangguan's disappearance should be closely related to all this mystery, and if we want to find Uncle Shangguan, the study should be our best entry point at present, I told the fat man and Yanzi my thoughts, and then the three of us went to Uncle Shangguan's study to find clues.
The fat man and I were inevitably curious when we entered the study for the second time, so we paid a few more attention, just an ordinary thirty-square-meter small study, a window, a sofa with a few bookshelves lined up against the wall.
The most eye-catching thing in the study room is some antique ornaments, which are almost fake and real in color and workmanship. The study let us rummage through the cabinets, and the last notebook caught my attention, this is an old notebook, it can be seen that the notebook is very important, because it is well preserved, and this notebook has been touched recently, because some of the dust on it is old, and some of the dust is new.
When I opened it, the notebook paper was already slightly yellowed. Many pages in the middle have been torn off, presumably by Uncle Shangguan, as if he wanted to hide something.
From one of the pages, the handwriting of 'Jade Dragon Snow Mountain' can still be seen on the ink-colored handwriting that has been brought away by time, but what is the connection between this and Uncle Shangguan's disappearance? ”
Anyway, put the notebook away first, my instinct tells me that this notebook is an important clue to solve the mystery in my mind.
It's a shame that I used to be a detective fan, what Sherlock Holmes detective collection, Di Renjie's autobiography and other books have not been read less, so at this juncture, let's draw a scoop according to the gourd, anyway, if I find Uncle Shangguan, if I rely on the police alone, there is no hope.
Judging from the clues in the notebook, the three of us decided to go to the "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain" mentioned in the notebook first, and after deciding, it was getting late, and after the three of us discussed, we decided to leave tomorrow.
After dinner, the fat man also checked the tools needed for camping and survival in the wild, and I thought to myself that it would be good to be prepared, so I didn't bother the fat man.
I was idle and bored, so I went to the courtyard and sat down, the moonlight was like water, the stars were in the sky, and the crooked moon was clinging to the starry sky, like the smiling eyes of the smoke and rain.
Looking up at the night, I can't help but think of the picture of Valentine's Day hugging the smoke and rain in the park, kissing each other affectionately.
I picked up my phone and dialed the number of Yanyu and turned it off! Although it was expected, it was inevitable that a faint sense of loss would come to my heart.
"Ngawang! Do you want to smoke and rain again? "Xiao Jing has been standing beside me for some time.
I just smiled slightly, barely squeezing a stiff smile on my face, not knowing how to respond.
Xiao Jing looked at me like this, lowered her head, and said a little self-reproaching, "I'm sorry!" ”
Although I didn't see the smoke and rain, I believe in Uncle Rong. And I'm not hard-hearted, I still remember Xiaojing's expression when I cried that day.
So I stood up and said to Xiao Jing, "It's all over, and the smoke and rain are not life-threatening, don't blame yourself anymore, you also have your troubles." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, I'm also worried about my dad, so I'm ......confused for a while," Xiao Jing choked and couldn't continue.
"Hmmm! Don't say it, I understand, really! I held Jing's arm with one hand so that she didn't have to blame herself too much.
Xiao Jing looked at my dislocated hand and asked with concern, "Ah Wang!" You've got all your hands like this, can you do it tomorrow? ”
I looked at my dislocated hand, but I didn't know the bottom of it, but I replied, "Don't worry!" It's okay, I'll definitely help you find your uncle. ”
Xiao Jing looked at me gently, her eyes were warm, and I also looked at her eyes, and the moment my eyes met, my heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
After being stunned for two seconds, I quickly looked away, "That...... That one! Rest early, and leave early tomorrow" I looked a little embarrassed.
"Hmm!" Xiao Jing blushed, and then went back to their rooms.
