Chapter 3: Roar
After reading the note in my hand, I didn't stop for a moment, and drove directly to Panjin, Liaoning, Chengde is not too far from Panjin, and it can be reached in 4 hours by car. The simple eight words on the note are written very clearly, Panjin reed sea, around the Yang River. This is the address of the strange stone, which means: in the reeds of Panjin, around the Yang River. Big Brother must be there.
It's just that I still didn't understand what Uncle Seventh was for, and he didn't tell me directly, but he wanted to pass on the news in this way, did Uncle Seven have anything unspeakable, or maybe Uncle Seven found out that Uncle Seven's home was being monitored, maybe I was wrong, this note was prepared by Uncle Seven a long time ago, not a temporary idea, so he had already prepared to give a note. Ay! Let's not think about it yet, let's hurry up.
After a quick bite to eat in the high-speed service area, he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to make a call to the old brother, but his mobile phone was always turned off. I had to call An Tong again, but fortunately, this kid's mobile phone was connected, and I asked him where he was? This kid replied with a lot of words, I didn't go around the bend with him, and asked him directly if he was in Panjin, and he was honest, answered some of my questions truthfully, and asked him to pick me up at the highway, lest I have to find it myself.
got off the highway, and sure enough, An Tong waited here as promised. When I got in the car, he asked me how I knew the road, and I didn't tell him, but asked him a lot of questions. By chatting with An Tong along the way, I also have a general understanding of the situation here.
It turned out that the senior brother knew about this place half a year ago, and has been arranging people here to determine the location. It wasn't until last week that the exact location was found. Suddenly, I felt that the person the senior brother was looking for was not very reliable, and it took half a year to determine the location, and it was estimated that he was a halfway monk.
40 minutes later, my car drove into, the branch road of the Liaohe Oilfield, only to really appreciate the wonder of the reeds, here really should not be described as a reed pond, the endless reeds, the reeds blown by the wind are undulating, the blowing reeds are flying all over the sky, such as cotton wool like snowflakes, it is really worthy of being the wetland capital, the reed sea paradise.
After turning several corners, I came to a row of old houses, in the open space in front of the houses, there were more than a dozen cars parked, it seems that the senior brother used a large number of people this time. There was a big pot outside, and a few people were squatting there, as if they were cooking something to eat, and it tasted good, and they smelled the aroma before they got out of the car.
After An Tong and I got out of the car, I carefully looked at the people around me, some of them were very familiar, and some of them had never seen them at all. My eyes immediately locked on a person, his name: Ye Bin, nickname: Wind Hand, because he has a slightly longer arm than a normal person, he can reach out and quickly pick up things in the coffin, so the people on the road call him the Wind Hand. He is my fellow brother, the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the second uncle, and the most famous tomb robber in the Tao at present. But I didn't have a good impression of him, because 8 years ago, it was he who suggested that the second master and uncle should become a family member, and he also led someone to fight with the senior brother, so I didn't say hello to him.
An Tong led me into a room where the elder brother was talking to a stranger. When he saw me come in, he asked, "How do you know I'm here?" β
I glanced at the stranger next to him and didn't answer.
Senior Brother saw my concerns and asked An Tong to take the man out of the house to eat first and take a rest. When I saw that the man was separated, he said, "It was Uncle Seventh who told me and gave me this." As he spoke, he took out the fragment that Uncle Seven had given me and handed it to him.
He was very panicked and stuffed the fragment back for me, and whispered in my ear: "This thing, you can't let people outside see it, you put it away." β
I immediately put away the fragment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me, why did you bring so many people and let the windbreaker come?" β
"I didn't want you to get involved, but you still came, this time I'm not completely sure, maybe it's more dangerous than the ghost sea, bringing the wind hand is completely out of the overall situation, and having him can help us solve a lot of problems."
I nodded, and then put it in my brother's ear and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will go back to the water?" This guy is a man who wants to make money. β
"No, I can't give him this opportunity, I have arranged it before I came, and I have talked to him, I can only let him take someone down, you don't want to do anything with him, I came to him to take advantage of his strengths."
Seeing that he looked confident, I had nothing to question. He told me about the current situation again, there will be people coming tomorrow, Tianxiang will also come, and Tianxiang's people are the main force.
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Okay, okay, it's so fragrant, let's eat it, it's pure wild." "Senior brother and I also walked out of the door, it was indeed too fragrant, and I was hungry as soon as I came out of the door. Take a closer look, it is an authentic Panjin big river crab, which looks fat and big, and must be delicious. I didn't wait for anyone to let me, so I took one and ate it.
The winder also came, and I couldn't stop talking when I saw him coming, after all, Senior Brother still had a place to use him, so he spoke: "Senior Brother Ye is also here?" β
"It's Xiao Qi, I said who got out of the car just now is so familiar, why are you here?"
"I'm just here to join in the fun and learn from you masters." I exchanged a few polite words, and then took two more crabs back to the house I had just said.
The elder brother called the stranger over and introduced us. It turned out that the person in front of him was the person who had been helping him determine his location, called: Wang Weiguo, there is an antique shop in Shengjing Antique City, and he is also a connoisseur, and everyone calls him Boss Wang. But I'm not optimistic about this person, after all, he has been doing it for half a year to locate this little thing. The elder brother told me that this person was still reliable, and that he had done a lot of business with him when the master was there.
Actually, I don't care about these people, what I am most concerned about now, and what makes me feel the most puzzled, is why did the senior brother gather so many people, and what kind of magic is there about this tomb, which can make him so excited and put on such a strong lineup. I was really puzzled, and found that I didn't know him well anymore, and he was no longer the same as before, and he was the first to tell me about anything. He must have something to hide from me, and I've always felt it, and I can only figure out his heart now.
In this afternoon, the people outside didn't do anything, just ate and drank while talking and laughing outside, and talked about the topic of bragging about the mountains, and they couldn't tell at all that they were here to rob the tomb, but as if they were here for a vacation. I never went out to chat with them, but An Tong was always outside to greet these people.
After dinner, An Tong arranged a room for me to stay, which is a row house, with more than a dozen rooms connected together, which is said to have been left by the reed pond production team for more than seven years. I lived in a room with Boss Wang, I didn't want to communicate with him too much, after 20 o'clock it was already dark, everyone returned to the house, only I sat outside, watching the endless reeds.
The autumn wind at night is still a little chilly, blowing the reed flowers fluttering left and right, and looking at the reed flowers at night, it is more like the ocean. Maybe it's because I've been sitting for a long time, I feel a little cold, and I'm about to go back to the house, when I suddenly hear a woman's aggrieved sobs.
The sound continued to flutter and flicker, and I didn't know where it came from, and it felt very close for a while, and it felt far away for a while, and it was difficult to determine the direction. I walked a few more steps outward, and listened to the sound, which seemed to come from the reeds on the opposite side, and just as I was about to go up and take a look, I heard the door open behind me, the old-fashioned wooden door, which creaked and creaked as soon as it was opened.
Looking back, Boss Wang poked his head out and beckoned to me, "Little brother, come back quickly, don't go." "When I saw that he was mysterious, I came back.
"What's the matter, what do you mean?"
"Let's talk about it first." I followed into the house, and Boss Wang continued: "Little brother, you don't know here, the next time you hear that voice, you must not go, and go back to the house after dark, don't go out." β
I was a little confused by his words, "What do you mean, you also heard the woman's aggrieved sobs?" β
"That's not a woman's aggrieved sobs, it's an angry roar, don't believe the sound here in the future, there are a lot of strange angry screams here. Dozens of lives have to be lost every year in this reed, some fall into the swamp, some have finished the crime and abandoned the corpse here, and some are pursued fugitives who want to hide here, but in the end they can't escape the roar."
As soon as I heard Boss Wang say angry, I was immediately shocked. Angry roar is the jargon in our industry, as the saying goes, the ghost is tempting, which means: the person who has died unjustly is releasing the dissatisfaction in his heart, and at the same time is luring others to the trap of death.
Of course, there are many people who don't believe in this now, but I believe because there are many people who have died so bizarre that science can't explain it at all. In the past, there was a guy in the Hebei company who lived in the suburbs, and one night, he and his family heard the crying and went out to look for it, but they didn't find anyone. But in the middle of the night this cry came again, and the man went out to look for it again, but this time he did not come back. The next day, his body was found in the fish pond, and the police concluded that he had fallen into the water and died. But according to his family, his water nature is quite good, should not have fallen into the water and died, for fear of being framed by others, under the repeated requests of his family, the forensic doctor dissected the guy after the last time, and found no signs of victimization, and the conclusion was still that he fell into the water and died. However, even in the same fish pond where he drowned, a girl had fallen into the water and died the year before. This inevitably reminds people that the cry is the angry cry of the girl's ghost.
