Chapter 42: Secrets
I took out Wang Yun's diary from my small travel bag, and looked at the old cover that had a sense of age, and I didn't have the courage to open it for a while.
Shen Jingyun noticed my movements, and said to me while driving: "I haven't had time to read this diary, but when I heard you say that there is such a thing, I feel a lot more certain." Because I guess this diary should have the specific address of the lake, and then the corresponding map, it will save us a lot of time. ”
"And then?" My mind was a little dull, and I always seemed to have too many things on my mind in my heart, and I even asked Shen Jingyun a little dumbly.
"Naturally, look at what is written in this diary! Or do you want to tell me to read my diary while driving? And, if you read the diary, at least we have a destination to go to. Huo Kai's guy was unreliable, and in the end, he didn't compare a result, which made me feel strange. With such a big lake, why can't such a detailed military map be compared? When Shen Jingyun spoke, he also raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Since Shen Jingyun had already said this, I didn't hesitate any longer, and finally opened Wang Yun's diary.
Surprisingly, Wang Yun's diary did not contain any words at first, but drew a portrait on the title page. And the portrait is lifelike, I didn't expect Wang Yun to have such a painting skill, but the moment I saw the portrait, I was stunned - that queen.
Wang Yun painted the queen, which is much more vivid than the stone carvings I have seen.
The queen in the painting is dressed in a strange costume, and she looks like she is looking at the world, and you can feel a sense of superiority at a glance.
And I also feel that this portrait reveals many of Wang Yun's thoughts, such as ambition.
Otherwise, she would not have drawn such a picture of the queen on the title page of this important diary. But I was also a little curious about what the queen's tomb brought to Wang Yun, so that she had such an idea and wanted to be a queen.
But it's useless for me to guess here, the diary should give me a lot of answers.
So, I stopped looking at the picture of the queen, although the similar eyebrows and eyes gave me a very weird feeling...... It's like looking at another dressed self.
***********************************************
This diary was very ordinary at first, and the first few articles were just a record of some careful thoughts of a fisherman.
said that it was a diary, and after reading a few articles, I found that this is not recorded every day, unless something big happened in Wang Yun's life, or there were more things on his mind one day, Wang Yun would write a diary. However, this is not a short article, and the occasional record will cover many days.
I looked very carefully, and when I connected it, I could also see the trajectory of Wang Yun's life.
Wang Yun was born in a small village near the sea, since she was literate and sensible, she knew that there was a secret in the family, that is, on the surface, their family was just an ordinary family, living a similar life to everyone, in fact, their family was richer than people in other villages.
The conclusion she came to was not told to her by Wang Yun's parents, but that she discovered the secret of the family after intentional observation.
For example, her family always has a lot more food than the rest of the village, and her mother's bedroom always has beautifully packaged alabaster that other village women can't afford to use. Dad hid at home and drank and smoked, and he also bought it quietly from the city, and it was the most expensive kind that the shops in the town would sell.
And all this, parents never tell outsiders, and taught Wang Yun as soon as Wang Yun can speak, don't tell outsiders about things at home, including what to eat and what to use, etc.
Wang Yun is a very thoughtful and very smart child, such an education and instructions from a young age naturally made her learn to keep her mouth shut at a very young age, but at the same time, she is also sensitive to the fact that there are secrets in the family, otherwise why would she be richer than others, and she is so low-key?
However, the fishing village is a patriarchal place, although Wang Yun is growing up, and her parents are becoming more and more undisguised that the family has another channel to make a fortune, but they have no intention of telling Wang Yun this secret. With the birth of his younger brother, it is even more impossible for Wang Yun to know this secret.
No matter how Wang Yun's life is, the children who grow up in the village are always more precocious than the children in the city, and although Wang Yun is ordinary on the surface, he is actually an extremely intelligent and sensitive person. So in Wang Yun's diary for a period of time, almost every one of them was full of all kinds of complaints and resentment.
She complained about why she was a girl, no matter how generous her parents were to her current self at home, but the family business always had no share of her own, let alone wanting to get involved. The best way in the future is for the parents to find someone to marry for themselves, and before getting married, they may have to tell a thousand instructions, ten thousand instructions, don't tell others about the situation at home.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you tell others or not, if your parents and younger brother don't admit it, who will believe what you say?
Indignantly, Wang Yun didn't think about it, and even gave up, but the only thing she thought about was why her parents couldn't share some secrets with herself? I didn't have much greed, at least I knew the secret, and my life could be better, wouldn't it?
Wang Yun grew up in such a mentality, although patriarchy is the norm in fishing villages, but the smart Wang Yun does not accept fate.
From the diary, I can see that this kind of mentality may bring positive energy to some people, just like trying to improve themselves, get rid of such a fate, fight for themselves, and let people think highly of it.
But what brought Wang Yun was infinite negative energy, she resented fate, complained about everything, gradually, her heart became very calculating about any gains and losses, and the feelings of the people around her became more and more indifferent, in her opinion, relatives treat themselves like this, what is there to be intimate between people, anyway, sons and daughters can be treated differently, people are selfish.
Come to think of it, Wang Yun's ability to brutally kill dozens of people has something to do with her psychology, right?
The diary is still being recorded, but it is all ordinary trivial things, and it is written back and forth that Wang Yun is observing all the details of the family, trying to figure out what this secret is?
Gradually, Wang Yun really found some clues.
She found that her father would always "disappear" for a few days every year, and these "missing" days were not long, two or three times a year, each time lasting about a month.
Wang Yun was sure that the surplus money in the family was earned in the days when her father disappeared, and she also carefully observed that the days of her father's disappearance were all during the fishing period, after all, in the fishing season, it is somewhat strange for a fisherman not to go to sea.
After summarizing these, Wang Yun began her own actions.
At that time, her so-called action was also very simple, that is, to avoid the eyes and ears of her mother and younger brother, find all excuses, and quietly follow her father.
This kind of action was originally very naïve, because I thought that if it was a secret, Wang Yun's father would definitely be very careful, how could he let a little child follow him and succeed? But Wang Yun really succeeded, and deduced this secret based on his own discovery.
What did Wang Yun find? It turned out that there was a fishing boat elsewhere in his family, and my father would drive that fishing boat away during the fishing season.
Is it going fishing? It is impossible that there are always patrols and law enforcement officers at sea to monitor all this during the fishing break, and it is impossible not to be detected every time. And just one person would not dare to go out fishing in a boat. Therefore, where to go with his father driving a fishing boat is a question that Wang Yun is puzzled by.
After following her a few times, Wang Yun began to wait deliberately, when she watched her father come back, what could she find?
Later, Wang Yun discovered that her father had actually come back almost every day during the month of his disappearance, but instead of going back to the fishing village, he went back to another village where the fishing boats were hidden, pretending to be a farmer there, and quietly putting a boatload of fish in the breeding pond.
This kind of management is very careful and thoughtful, and it seems that it has been doing this for many days. The puzzle is solved, and the identity of the farmer contractor is just a cover-up, which is to sell the fish smoothly and explain the daily harvest. So the key question is, what kind of place is it that allows Dad to catch a lot of fish by himself every time he goes out, and makes a lot of money as a result?
Well, it's a secret fishing ground!
Wang Yun finally deduced the answer, this secret seems ordinary to say, but when you think about it, it feels very unusual.
What could be more precious to a fisherman than having a fishing spot where he can easily catch a large number of fish and only know about it? And what is even more peculiar is that there are so many people in China, and the competition in the fishing industry is so fierce, how can there be such a place that is not discovered?
And those who collect fish probably know something, after all, there is a difference between farmed fish and wild fish, and there is a single species of farmed fish, and there are more types of wild-caught fish, but they only think that Wang Yun's father is a desperate fisherman, and it is estimated that there is a team behind him, so he did not inquire too much.
All in all, it was all perfect.
Wang Yun's initial idea was to take over all this by herself, and wanted to use a perfect way to take it over without a trace. She was unwilling to give it all to her brother, and she knew the wealth behind it. She began to feel that her father was too stupid, too careful, and not very successful.
The diary records that everything is normal, although the secret feels a little strange and wonders what kind of place it is?
And when I saw this, I saw some tears, and I guess Wang Lu just saw this place and didn't want to look any further. But I was full of curiosity in my heart, and I didn't understand how all this connected Wang Yun to the mysterious queen's tomb.
I continued to read on, and before I could see a murder, the secret of which would soon be revealed.
