Chapter 5: Photos

With the help of the light above, I looked down as I walked down, and after a few steps, the lights came on.

I really didn't expect that there would be a basement as big as the one above the shop. Although the layout is much more simple than the above, it looks more neat, and there is an ancient Luohan bed against the innermost wall, on which are placed two white pillows and a fancy blanket, but it looks spotless, and it should be cleaned often.

In the middle is an old-fashioned square table with a simple tea set, but only two cups, but it looks like it hasn't been used for a long time. There are only two chairs around the square table, and it seems that there are not many people here.

There are a few old-fashioned cabinets against the wall, which look like old goods from the post-Qing Dynasty, and there are two safes standing next to the cabinets, and I subconsciously walked over quickly. I was so anxious that I forgot that there was someone next to me, and just squatted down to get the key, only to realize that there was someone else here, and I hesitated for a moment and put the key back.

Immediately stood up, turned her head to her, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to speak, she had already spoken: "Don't avoid me, you can't open without me." ”

Although I looked at her with more sincere eyes, I was still at a loss and didn't understand what she meant. However, it seems that she must know that I am here to open the safe, and since she knows the basement of Lu Dao and the safe of Lu Dao, then I have nothing to hide.

"Why do you want to say that I can't open it without you?" I asked, confused.

"You'd better take a closer look at the safe." After speaking, he sat leisurely at the square table.

I looked down at the safe carefully, and thought of the safe at home, which should be the same as this one, but this one was slightly larger, and I didn't notice any difference.

"What, didn't you find out? Do you think you can open it with your key alone. ”

When she said this, I realized that the safe still needs a password, and the key alone can't open it. The heart said, damn, ignore a big matter, the senior brother only gave me the key, not the password, which made me how to open the safe.

But after thinking about it, since she said so, then she must have a way to open it, or maybe the senior brother told her the password, otherwise she couldn't be so sure that I couldn't open it.

"It seems that I need to rely on you to open this safe, but you have to tell me what your name is first?"

"Tell you what it's called, you haven't heard it, what can you do if you know the Tao and don't know it." With that, she got up and walked over.

"Seeing that you should be older than me, you have to be called anyway, you can't be called that or that, it's too disrespectful to you."

"Call me Longjiu." As he spoke, he crouched down beside the safe, stretched out a hand to me, and said, "Key." ”

This time I didn't hesitate, I immediately took out the key and handed it to her, although I didn't know the name of Lu Dao Longjiu, and I hadn't heard the senior brother mention it, but since she knew the password of the Lu Dao safe, she should be someone that the senior brother trusted.

But I just feel that this name seems to be very similar to Long Wu of Chow Yun-fat's God of Gamblers, and I thought, Long Wu's skills are excellent, and Long Jiu is also so good, could it be Long Wu's sister.

Long Jiu took the key, reversed the password again, and the lock of the safe was opened with a click, but she didn't open the cabinet door, but got up and said to me: "The things inside, it's yours, see for yourself, I'll go up, call me if there's anything." ”

After saying that, Long Jiu left, and I saw that she walked up completely, so I opened the safe. It's not that I'm afraid that she will see it, after all, the senior brother has said it first, don't bring anyone here.

It was a three-tiered safe, the upper one was smaller, and it was supposed to hold some gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, but there was only a brown paper envelope on it. The middle layer was stacked with bundles of euros and a dozen bundles of renminbi, and the bottom layer was full of documents, and under the documents was a very thick book, and the documents placed on the top were actually handwritten.

I took it out first and opened it slowly, and it turned out to be an envelope with a waterproof membrane inside, which made a crisp sound as long as it moved slightly.

There is a photo and a letter inside, the photo is the master's, but it looks very old, in my memory I have never seen the master so much white hair, the master standing in front of a forest park to take this photo.

Looking at the appearance of the master in the photo, sadness welled up in my heart, and this sadness has been with me for 8 years. The master is like my biological father, but now he can't see anyone alive or dead, and tears instantly filled his eyes, but I don't want to cry anymore, because I know that my brother asked me to come to make me cry, I can't cry, I want to be strong, I must be strong.

I put the master's photo aside, but when I picked up the letter and saw the previous paragraph, my whole body was overturned.

Xiao Qi, I'm very glad that you can see this letter, this letter was written by me before I went to Panjin, I guess you have already seen Long Jiu, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this letter.

You don't have to be wary of her, she's definitely someone you can trust, there's no doubt about that, at least in my case, you absolutely trust her.

At the same time as reading the letter, you should also see the photo of the master, is it that the master in the photo is very old, I also think so, the master seems to be very haggard, but that's not the point. Do what I say, and don't be surprised at what you see.

Now you pick up the photo, look carefully at the background of the photo, see the landscape stone behind it, behind the master, take a closer look at the lower right corner of the stone.

Seeing this, I picked up the photo of the master again, and carefully looked at the small right corner of the background stone according to the explanation in the senior brother's letter.

The stone is nothing special, and it is not very beautiful, it looks like a large door number landscape stone, there should be a celebrity inscription on it, but the words of the inscription are covered by the master's body, but there is a line of the date of the payment in the lower right corner of the stone, although it is small, but it can also be seen clearly. When my eyes were on that line of date, I was immediately surprised, and the whole person was instantly blank, and the horror in my heart was indescribable.

To tell the truth, when the senior brother asked me to show the master's photo in the letter, I was already prepared, and Zhilu Dao might see such content. But when I really saw it, I was suffocated for a moment,

I almost broke my eyelids, rubbed my eyes every time I looked at them, I couldn't believe my eyes, until I was sure that I could accept this reality, and I didn't look at that date anymore, and my heart was beating with unease, and I couldn't describe the mood in words.
