58: Almost

At first, I thought that Xu Buhuo was going to trouble Uncle Qin.

But when I saw Uncle Qin smiling at Xu Buhu, I knew I was wrong.

It is unimaginable that Xu Buhuo secretly has a connection with Uncle Qin.

The scene in front of me, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it, and I subconsciously pinched my thigh, it hurt, and I knew that it was not a dream at the moment.

Looking at the two talking face-to-face, although I couldn't hear anything to say, but from their looks, I felt like they were friends, I hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatting about some recent trivial matters. When he got to the back, Uncle Qin laughed even more, and from the small half of Xu Buhuo's face, I felt that he was also laughing.

All the things that happened before, Xu Buhuo gave me the feeling that I didn't know Uncle Qin, and it was under his leadership that I learned that Uncle Qin cheated to death, and I understood that he was controlling everything behind his back.

Now, I can't figure out why Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin can communicate like this if they are enemies.

Unless, everything is a disguise of Xu Buhuo.

From beginning to end, Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin knew each other, and the two were still in a group. The performance in front of me was a deliberate disguise, acting for me.

Is that really the case?

I don't know, thinking back to what Xu Buhu did during this time, I couldn't help but want to rush forward and ask to see what kind of answer Xu Buhu would give me, but in the end I couldn't help but move.

After communicating for a while, Uncle Qin left, Xu Buhuo also turned to leave, I returned to the cemetery in the back mountain, and sat next to my grandmother's grave, my heart was like a mess, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Uncle Qin died, and after determining Xu Buhuo's identity, I regarded him as a dependent, relying on him for everything, thinking that he could help me deal with it. After discovering that Uncle Qin was the layout person hiding behind him, I still thought that with the help of Xu Buhuo, we would definitely be able to defeat Uncle Qin.

But now, I know that, as Xu Buhuo said to me before, I am still too young, too easy to see people from the surface, and too easy to trust people.

Thinking of the so-called treasure, I know that they are doing it for the sake of the treasure. Uncle Qin is singing in blackface in secret, and Xu Buhuo is singing whiteface beside me.

I found the bronze keys, and they serve the same purpose with or without handing them over.

That's when I realized why my grandmother wrote such nonsense in the collection of books: People are sometimes more terrible than ghosts.

Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin are really more terrifying than ghosts.

When I came back to my senses, I thought that I had almost told Xu Buhuo the news of my grandmother's death before, and I was afraid for a while, and I understood that if I really said it, then I might really kill my grandmother.

After all, grandma is now in a special situation, and if she turns out ten oil lamps, she won't be able to wake up at all.

Although I told myself again and again that this was true, I still couldn't accept the scene I had just seen, how I hoped it was a dream, Xu Buhuo was still the good person I thought he was.

But facts are facts.

When I got to the door, I didn't even want to go in, but I had to go in, and I had to pretend that I didn't know anything.

I didn't dare to pierce Xu Buhuo's disguised mask, knowing that it would be miserable, and now in this situation, if something goes wrong with the people around me, he will at least save people in order to gain my trust.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as I entered the house, the stone suddenly asked me, as if he saw that I had a mind. I smiled reluctantly and said it was nothing.

Looking at Xu Buhuo, who was sitting in the courtyard and roasting the sun, my heart was indescribably chaotic. Thinking carefully about the situation I investigated before, I can't understand that if he is fake, how can the results obtained by Xishan Village be explained, and what Xu Yong told me is all fake?

I can't figure out why my grandmother left a letter to tell me to find Mr. Xu to deal with her affairs if it was fake.

In hesitation, I found Cao Guangshan and pulled him outside the house.

"Meridian, what are you doing? Run outside and talk. ”

Cao Guangshan looked at me with a puzzled expression, as far as his own ability was concerned, he already knew that I had something secret to say.

I said, "There's something I need you to check for me." ”

"Say."

After looking around, there was no one, and I leaned into Cao Guangshan's ear and whispered the matter.

"Isn't he okay? Why do you need to check? ”

"I hope it's okay, too, but I went out just now and saw a little bit of a situation that needs to be confirmed."

Cao Guangshan thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter is on me, and I can come back before dark." ”

Subsequently, Cao Guangshan left with something to deal with in the bureau and asked him to check if Xu was alive.

"Meridian, come here." Xu Buhuo suddenly called me, I walked up to him, his eyes slanted at me twice, and asked, "Are you okay?" Look at your face with a preoccupied look. ”

I forced myself to calm down, and said very weakly: "It's not that you don't know what happened in the past two days, what kind of mood you can have." ”

Xu Buhuo didn't dwell on this matter too much, and asked: "I heard you say, I haven't found the bronze key related to the treasure after looking everywhere, do you think your grandmother will also have a secret room?" Hidden in a secret room? ”

"No, if there was a secret room, I wouldn't know about it."

The mouth said very easily, but in fact, the calves trembled so much that he couldn't stand and wanted to sit on the ground. I really didn't expect Xu Bu to call me over to ask about the secret room, and hurriedly prayed in my heart that he had better not continue to investigate.

are all people all the way, Uncle Qin failed to find the Qimen Dunjia of the old mansion, Xu Buhuo said that he couldn't find it, because Xu Buhuo mentioned that what he learned was mainly metaphysics, and Qimen Dunjia happened to be in the category of metaphysics.

"Think about it, have you encountered any strange places in the old mansion, the entrance must be hidden by your grandmother."

I didn't speak, I turned my back and pretended to be quiet and thoughtful.

At this time, my scalp was numb, my palms were cold sweat, and the wound was hot and painful.

From what Xu Buhuo said, I think he has realized that there is Qimen Dunjia in his grandmother's old house, and he is very embarrassed about how to get back.

I don't know who he is, and it doesn't matter if I don't find the dark room when I find it, but now that I know his true purpose, I understand that the dark room must not let him know.

"You also know that I don't have any skills, why don't you go and see?"

When it came to this, I didn't know what to say, so I had the idea of gambling and let Xu Buhuo see it for himself, I just hoped that my grandmother's methods were clever enough.

"Okay, take advantage of the dawn and go over and have a look."

Xu Buhuo said and went into the house to get the cloth bag, and I also rushed into the room and put the jump knife pressed under the pillow into my pocket.

At this time, I had already made up my mind in my heart, if Xu Buhuo couldn't find the entrance to the dark room, then things would continue like this, but if he really found the entrance to the dark room, then I could only solve him.

If you want to solve everything that is happening now, grandma must not have an accident. I told myself that even if I killed someone, I had to keep my grandmother safe.

Along the way, Xu Buhuo communicated with me as usual, but I couldn't pretend that I hadn't noticed anything, so that he looked at me in surprise several times and asked me if there was something wrong, and I would say anything directly.

When I arrived at the old house, Xu Buhuo took out the compass and walked in, I followed him, and gently flicked the jumping knife away with my hand in my pocket, ready to do it at any time.

Under the guidance of the compass, Xu Buhuo circled around the old house, my whole body was tense like a spring, my scalp was itching, and my ears were full of the sound of my heart pounding.

Finally, Xu Buhuo went back to the hall and walked around, and I followed him and watched him stop at the entrance to the dark room.

Found out?

My whole body was shaking.

"It's weird, it feels like there's something, but it's nothing."

Just as the jumping knife was about to be pulled out of my pocket, Xu Buhuo suddenly put down the compass, frowned and scanned the surroundings, and then left the place and walked into the courtyard, continuing to watch.

The coolness brought by the evaporation of cold sweat all over my body made me feel like I had just walked away from a ghost door.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the tension in my heart, I deliberately said, "Could it be that there is no secret room, otherwise I would not have been able to find out after so many years." ”

Xu Buhuo didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the old mansion that had changed a long time ago, and only after a while did he say: "It's also possible, if there is a secret room here, I can't find it after so many times." ”

After observing for a while, Xu Buhuo gave up, followed behind him, my whole body was weak, and I knew that just now, I really killed Xu Buhuo with the knife.

I'm sure he's a bad guy, but until my grandmother wakes up, I think he still has something to use.

In addition, there is such a thing as killing, which is simple to think about, but it is really difficult to know how difficult it is when you really do it.

After a false alarm, I returned to the new house, and I went into the room and rubbed my face vigorously with my hands.

Thinking carefully about what happened in the old mansion, I couldn't help but think, Xu Buhuo suddenly muttered at that time, is it a coincidence? Or did he find out that I was going to use a knife and deliberately pretend not to find it?

Otherwise, why did he just walk around the entrance to the dark room?

I'm not sure what the truth is, but I secretly pray that it's the former, because if it's the latter, things will be in trouble.

To be on the safe side, I didn't put the jump knife and continued to carry it in my pocket.

During the meal, I asked my mother if she had ever seen the bronze key next to my grandmother, and my mother said that she didn't know, because the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a little sensitive since ancient times, and she actually rarely had contact with her grandmother.

Thinking about it, in my memory, my mother would not go to the old house unless she had something to do.

Once tonight is over, there is only one day left.

The heart couldn't help but be impatient.

After eating, I waited at the gate of the courtyard, thinking about things while waiting for Cao Guangshan, who was going to find out the information. He said that he would come back before dark, but after Cao Guangshan still didn't come back at nine o'clock in the evening, I couldn't sit still.

In my heart, I can't help but panic for some reason, I always feel that Cao Guangshan is probably in an accident.

Just as he was hesitating to make a phone call and ask, the village party secretary suddenly rushed to the courtyard and said intermittently: "Ziwu, hurry up, Officer Cao, who came before, has an accident." ”
