Chapter 14: The Truth
I would not be surprised who appeared in this hut, at most I didn't know him.
But when I saw this man, I was really stunned.
No matter how haggard he was, that shallow smile still remained on his face.
I remember Ai Xiao once said: No matter when, I never despair, never give up, and a smile always makes me full of confidence.
And the person in front of him turned out to be the head catcher Ai Xiao.
Ai Xiao was locked up by his father in this hut that belonged to the Yan family's "forbidden land" where outsiders were not allowed to trespass, and I would never have thought of it even if I wanted to break my head.
Because I think it's impossible for Dad and Ai Xiao to be linked.
If there is, then there must be a problem.
This is the experience I have learned from my years of grave robbing.
For example, if a decent corrupt official goes to a sloppy beggar, then there must be some ulterior deal between them, except for the almost zero probability of handouts.
So, I eased my confused thoughts with difficulty and asked my little sister: "Do you see that this person was imprisoned by my father?" ”
The little sister said, "Yes, sister, do you know him?" ”
I nodded heavily and said, "She was the one who put me in jail!" ”
The little sister's eyes lit up: "That's not right, let's play him to give you out." ”
I shook my head, looked at Aixiao, and said, "This man is a good person." ”
The little sister turned her head in surprise, her eyes were full of ambiguity, and she asked puzzledly: "Good person?" ”
I tapped her little head, chuckled, and said, "Don't think about it. ”
The little sister snickered, the more you said don't think about it, the more she thought about it.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Little sister, shall we get him out?" ”
The little sister's eyes were round, and she said in surprise: "Let him out?" That...... Dad knows that he won't kill us? If it doesn't work, I'll bring you here. ”
I knew my little sister's character, so I had to beg her: "Good little sister, help the second sister!" You know if you don't help me, no one will help me! ”
The little sister giggled and said, "Okay, okay, who told us to be so affectionate?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, looking at my little sister's strange expression, and before I could laugh, my little sister had already laughed.
I really can't do anything about her, such a little sister, I think, if there are ten more, it won't be too much, I'm just afraid that I will turn over that day.
The two of us slipped down the tree, and when we came to the door of the hut, we saw a large brass lock hanging horizontally.
I was embarrassed and said, "How?" ”
Xiaomei did not hesitate and said, "This is not difficult for me!" ”
I looked at her in amazement.
Tomb opening is different from unlocking, tomb opening is about efficiency and integrity, but the most important thing is to prevent and crack the mechanism.
And lockpicking is only skillful.
Therefore, a first-class gentleman on the beam can open it without locks, but he will definitely not be able to open the tomb.
The little sister smiled, looked around, found a big stone, and said categorically: "Smash!" ”
I was stunned again, I couldn't keep up with my little sister's rhythm.
Xiaomei said: "What's this, I often forget the key in the room, so I often can't open the door!" ”
I couldn't help but laugh: "So you often slam the door?" ”
The little sister didn't feel shy at all, as if she still had a sense of pride: "Of course, make a decision immediately!" ”
She picked up the stone and smashed it down.
It may be the reason for the age of the wooden door, the wood has softened a little, and the copper lock fell after only one smash.
Such a door is hung with such a lock, doesn't that mean that it is not hung?
Confused, I scratched the door panel with my fingernails, and the wood was not as soft as I thought.
But the little sister smashed the lock down with a stone.
I took a closer look at my little sister again, and in the dim sunlight, she was really so different.
The little sister clapped her hands, so embarrassed: "How is it?" ”
I said, "Okay! ”
When I entered the house, a musty smell came to my nose.
Ai Xiao looked up when he heard the sound, his eyes were round, and he was stunned for a moment, and it took a while before he uttered two words: "Brother? ”
The little sister was a little confused, looked at me and looked at Ai Xiao, and asked for a long time: "Brother?" Who is my brother? ”
I didn't bother to explain, so I stepped forward to untie the rope tied to Aixiao's body and asked him, "Why are you tied here?" ”
Ai smiled and said, "It's hard to put into words. I found out a secret of Qian Zhifu and Yan Wu, and he sent someone to knock me unconscious, and I don't know how I got here? By the way, what about you? Why are you here? ”
He looked at his little sister: "This is ......"
The little sister smiled and said, "My name is Yan Ruyue!" ”
Aixiao's face changed, and she almost exclaimed: "Yan Ruyue? Face...... Face...... Could it be that this is Yan Wu's home? ”
The little sister looked at him so panicked, and said in surprise, "Yes! ”
Ai Xiao's expression changed greatly: "It's not good, we have to leave quickly!" ”
He took my hand and walked out, but ignored my little sister.
The little sister was anxious: "Eh...... Eh, and me! ”
As soon as I shook my hand, I didn't break free, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Ai Xiao hurriedly said: "It's hard to say this, but I know that the Yan family has been ...... a year ago."
Before he finished speaking, the little sister grabbed it, suddenly changed as if she was a person, and screamed, "Where are you going to take my second sister?" ”
Ai Xiao pulled me out of the cabin, and as soon as I walked a dozen steps, I saw a man in red stop in front of me.
The man sneered and said, "Do you still want to go?" ”
I was taken aback and cried out, "Dad! ”
Ai Xiao was more shocked than me, and glared at me: "What, he...... He's your dad? ”
I nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Ai Xiao looked extremely remorseful and said, "No wonder! No wonder! ”
I was a little confused, and I didn't know what he meant by saying no wonder.
Daddy's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said coldly: "Boy, you can't blame me for this, take your life!" ”
As Dad spoke, he didn't see how he moved, and a right hand had already grabbed Ai Xiao's throat.
I was shocked, I couldn't believe that my father could do martial arts.
Ai Xiao threw me away, and on one side of my body, I dodged away.
Dad went straight forward, and he had already rushed towards Ai Xiao and fought with him.
I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do, and my mind was already disorganized.
All these changes came suddenly, came strangely, and I didn't expect it.
But one thing is for sure, as Xiaomei said, Dad must be lying.
So why did he deceive people?
I didn't have time to think about it, I thought of my little sister, and when I looked back, I saw my little sister hiding in a corner and waving to me.
She was asking me to sneak away while I was taking the opportunity.
But I thought I couldn't leave Ai Xiao, so I only made a hide gesture at her.
There was a scream on the ground, cutting through the cold forest.
This is Ai Xiao's voice.
I was shocked, and Huo Ran turned around.
Dad flew up and kicked Ai Xiao's body out.
Before Ai Xiao got up, his father swept over like a big eagle and slapped Ai Xiao on the head.
With a "snap", Ai Xiao suddenly cracked.
I was so frightened that I couldn't even scream, and I felt like I was stupid to stay there.
Dad seemed to be a completely different person, walked over to me with a strange face, and said coldly, "You know everything? ”
I nodded indifferently, although I didn't know the truth of the matter, but I could think of it, there must be something strange in this.
Dad pressed me further and asked me sharply, "What do you know?" ”
I've never seen my dad have such a fierce expression, and he is panicked and scared: "Dad, what do you want?" ”
Dad stopped, looked at me tightly, and said, "As long as you say it, I won't bother with you, otherwise it will ......."
He didn't say any more, his hand squeezed, and there was a "burst bean" sound.
Although I don't know martial arts, I can see from the way he killed Ai Xiao that my father is a master.
I looked at my father in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "I see...... You...... You're lying to me, aren't you? ”
Dad laughed and said, "Not bad! ”
An inexplicable sadness suddenly rose in my heart, and I was in pain: "Dad, tell me, what is all this?" ”
Dad disagreed, and said: "No reason, tell me quickly, the tomb god told you, how can you find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao?" ”
It is also the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao.
Daddy's goal was obviously to find these two tombs.
But why did he bother to find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao?
With the current wealth of the Yan family, it is enough to live in peace, so why should they snoop on other people's things?
I don't have time to figure it out for a while, but at this moment I know, my father still thinks I know how to find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao, if I insist at the moment that I don't know, but at this point, will my father kill me?
There is no need for an answer, it can be seen from the eyes of the father.
I tried my best to restrain the pain and turmoil in my heart, and tried my best to calm my heart down.
Dealing with the crisis is the only feasible way.
Years of tomb robbing have also taught me a lot of experience in dealing with dangers.
I thought about it and asked my father, "Tell me, why is this?" ”
Dad shouted angrily, "You don't have the right to ask. You have to answer my question. ”
I was overwhelmed and said, "But I need to know why." Why did you kill Ai Xiao? ”
Dad sneered, with a hideous face: "It's okay to tell you." Aren't you learning to rob tombs? Dad, I'm also a tomb robber, haha, how's it going? ”
I shuddered, remembering what Ai Xiao said just now, "No wonder, no wonder", which turned out to be what it meant.
I can only feel sad and laugh.
My father is a tomb robber, and I am also a tomb robber, can I be described as a family of tomb robbers?
I suddenly remembered my mother, so will my mother know that my father is a tomb robber?
Dad forced forward again: "Tell me quickly." Don't think I won't dare to kill you, you said earlier, you are not my daughter, I will never be soft on you! ”
Daddy's words are definitely not a threat.
I understand very well, but for the sake of today's plan, I can only fight bravely: "If you want to kill me, it will be easy, but if you want to find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao, there is no hope." ”
Since Dad wants to find the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao so much, then she only needs to threaten her on the contrary, and maybe she still has a chance to live.
I raised my chips again: "The Tomb God told me that it is very easy to find these two tombs!" ”
Sure enough, Daddy was overjoyed: "Say it quickly!" ”
I knew that since I had lied, I had no choice but to keep it on and on: "But the tomb god did not explain, and I must ponder his words!" ”
Seeing that he had an eyebrow, Dad couldn't wait: "What words?" Tell me! ”
I said, "I can't tell you if I don't have my life!" ”
Dad thought about it, and really compromised: "Don't worry, I will definitely spare your life." What's more, you Du Sanniang still need you to rescue? ”
Dad obviously wanted to pinch my soft underbelly too, and sneered and said, "Can you bear to watch the person you love never wake up?" ”
The way he spoke was so beautiful and dirty that I almost felt the urge to vomit.
I turned around, squinted and caught a glimpse of my little sister hiding motionless, so I relaxed a little, adjusted my mood, and said, "Let me think about it!" ”
Dad nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's better to hurry, otherwise I will be patient again, and Lord Jing will not have it." ”
I was stunned and said, "Is there really a matter of Prince Jing looking for the tombs of Qin Shi Huang and Cao Cao?" ”
Without further along, my father locked me in the hut, and he picked up the brass ring, and when he pressed it on the door, the ring was embedded in the door.
After the lock was locked, Dad suddenly asked, "How did you find here?" ”
I said indifferently: "A tomb robber is in his own home, can't he find this place?" ”
Dad sneered again: "You still rob tombs with your ability?" What skills can Ah San'er teach? I think Yue'er brought you here, right? ”
My heart tightened, did he find his little sister?
But I can't be in a hurry to deny it outright.
Because if I am in a hurry to deny it, it is tantamount to telling my father that my little sister brought me here.
Dad's profundity can't be easily deceived by him.
But what really surprised me was how could my father know Ah San?
But I didn't ask, just pretended to be arrogant and said: "My master Tomb God told me that the four-character recipe for tomb robbery, and smell is one of the tricks, I have dealt with Ai Xiao, so I can naturally smell that he is here." ”
Since my father believes in the tomb god very much, I believe that when I say this, my father will definitely believe it.
Sure enough, Dad asked in a tight voice, "What four-character formula?" ”
I don't want to talk to my dad too much, otherwise after a long time, it will be difficult for my little sister to be found out by him, and I still doubt whether I can hold on.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "You go, I'll tell you when I'm ready!" ”
Dad sneered a few times, and the footsteps of stepping on the accumulated leaves gradually faded away.
I leaned against the door panel and finally let out a sigh.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, a dilapidated wooden platform, and a wooden pillar, which is where Ai Xiao was tied just now.
I looked at the wooden pillars that seemed to be still flowing with residual warmth, and I didn't feel that it was gloomy.
Life is unintentional, things are people, no less than the prosperity of life, imagine what is more profound than this?
Good people suddenly disappeared from front of their eyes, that kind of loneliness, that kind of frustration, it is really indescribable sadness.
And this man once said, "Like me."
The same kind of injury!
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and I realized that I could no longer bear the pain of friendship and love.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the air, which was difficult to detect unless you listened carefully.
Fortunately, I had the sensitivity to look through the crack in the door, and I happened to see a person's face gradually moving closer.
