The second aunt walked to the bedside and sat down, looked at me from a distance and said, "You have been gone for two years, and you haven't communicated with your family for so long, I don't know if the family is worried about you?" In the past two years, I have been thinking about you every day, and I just thought, if you don't come back for so long, don't be deceived into pyramid schemes anymore, don't let anything happen to your family, and don't want your family to know. ”

I hugged the wooden box, and I felt unspeakable embarrassment.

When I first went to college, I occasionally contacted Xiaowei, and then I went back to my family, and the contact was completely broken, but for so long, I really didn't communicate with my aunt, where I was, what I was doing, she didn't know.

My aunt asked me, "Tell me, why don't you want to contact her?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

In the past, when I talked about why I didn't contact my family, I always had a lot of words, saying that I was used to being lonely, what I said, my aunt and Xiaowei had their own lives, and I just didn't want to disturb them.

But when I really faced my aunt's questioning, I realized that these were all excuses, and I was just running away from this family affection.

I used lies to erect a barrier for myself, thinking that as long as I locked myself up, I would be safe from harm, and even thought that as long as I had this barrier, my heart would become stronger, but I didn't expect that when this barrier was torn open, I who had been hiding inside was so vulnerable.

Now I finally understand why the head of the Sky Cloud Dao said that I am a person who has forgotten how to feel, just because I buried myself so deep that over the years, I only remember the appearance of the layers of barriers, but I have never seen myself clearly.

I haven't spoken, but when the second aunt's words were not finished: "Alas, when Zuye was young, it was the same, sometimes I left home for more than half a year, and there was no news at all." I know that he is afraid that I will be worried, so he refuses to tell me many things, and I also know that those who do your line of work pin their lives on their waists every day, and I don't know when people will be gone. But life is death, so there is a letter. ”

"Lady." I called my aunt and interrupted her thoughts.

The second aunt looked at me and slowly closed her lips.

I gave my second aunt a smile: "In the future, as long as I have time, I will always come back." ”

The second aunt sighed: "Don't comfort you, I know, those who do your line of work don't have much time to be idle." ”

I tried to divert the topic: "In the autumn of the previous year, I saw the third uncle. ”

Hearing me say this, my aunt was also shocked: "Chuan Sheng? I haven't heard from him in years, is he okay? ”

I said, "When I saw him the year before, he was fine, but now I don't know." Since sending me back to my house, the third uncle has disappeared, and he has not disappeared yet. ”

The aunt sighed: "Alas, you people are all like this. ”

Thinking about it, first my father disappeared without a trace, as if there was no such person in the world, and then the third uncle, and now in the eyes of my aunt, I am afraid that even I have become like them.

The second aunt didn't seem to want to continue the discussion on such a topic, so she pointed to a cabinet next to me: "The key is in the small box containing olay." ”

The reason why I kept holding the wooden box and didn't open it was because there was a lock on it, and I couldn't open it without a key.

After the second aunt said this, I immediately understood what she meant, and quickly opened the drawer.

There are a lot of scattered things in the drawer, some of which are some old objects collected by the second uncle back then, which are not valuable, the most expensive ones, put them now, and the discount is dozens of yuan, and there are also some folded small clothes, which should have been worn by Xiaowei when he was a child, and were kept by his aunt and placed here.

I searched for a long time, only to find a small box used to hold olay in the past, opened it, and saw that there was only a small key thinner than a screwdriver, this thing should be made of gold, so many years have passed, there is no rust on it, and there is a faint golden light.

Before I opened the wooden box, my second aunt said to me again: "Before Zuye was in a car accident, I spent a whole day and went to the village where you lived when you were a child. Thinking about it now, at that time, Zuye may have felt that something was going to happen to him. ”

In fact, in my impression, in the small half a month before the second uncle's car accident, his performance was a little abnormal, but I only had a vague impression of what happened at that time, and as for what was abnormal about the second uncle, I couldn't remember too many details for a while.

I opened the lock on the wooden box, opened the lid, and saw a thick layer of soft yarn pressed inside, and while untying the soft yarn, I asked my aunt: "What happened to the car accident that my second uncle suffered back then?" ”

The aunt could only sigh: "It's just a car accident, what else can it be?" Later, Yongbing also found someone to check, it was an ordinary traffic accident, the person who caused the accident was a driver who drove a big car, drank a lot of alcohol the night before, and just drove out of the house the next day, he bumped into your second uncle......"

The past is unbearable, and when it comes to this, the second aunt can't talk about it anymore.

But I still have some doubts in my heart, why did Sun Yongbing make a special trip to find someone to investigate this matter, you must know that the relationship between him and my second uncle does not seem to be very good.

I didn't dare to ask more, but silently tore off a large piece of soft veil, and under the soft veil, another crimson flake pressed down what was hidden in the depths of the box.

This sheet should be made of pig iron, and due to perennial embroidery and rot, the original color can no longer be seen.

What the hell is it, if it is pressed layer by layer, as if it would pop out of the box without soft yarn and pig iron sheets.

With such doubts, I vigorously pulled out the rusty flakes in the blind man.

And when I saw what was pressing underneath, I was dumbfounded.

What was placed inside was half a pure copper-green ancient coin, which seemed to have been cut off from the middle with a sharp instrument, and the fracture was unusually smooth, and on the incomplete money surface, there was also engraved a complete Xun hexagram, and only half of the two hexagrams were left.

I immediately picked it up, turned it over, and saw that there was a complete "treasure" character on the other side of the ancient coin, as well as two remnant characters that only half of it remained: 幽, underworld.

Nether Treasure!

I immediately took out a Netherworld Treasure on my body and compared it, I can't be wrong, this half of the ancient coin in my hand is one of the four Netherworld Treasures.

But why is it only half left? It is said that although this thing is made of black copper, because it is infused with the pure yin qi from the underworld, the blades of the mortal world cannot hurt it at all.

After that, I carefully sensed the Qi field on this half of the ancient coin, and the incomparably pure yin qi was no different from the Netherworld Treasure in my hand.

Since it is not a fake, why is only half of this ancient coin left? Where did the other half go?

When the second aunt saw the things in my hand, she was also very puzzled and said, "Isn't this the eldest brother's thing, why is there only half of it left?" Where did you get that one from? ”

I said, "I found this Netherworld Treasure from an old mansion on the southwestern border. Did my dad always carry it? ”

As I asked, I raised my hand and shook the half of the ancient coin in my right hand.

The second aunt said: "He has always carried it and never left him." In the past, he protected this thing as a treasure, and no one was allowed to touch it, why didn't he take it away when he left? ”

I asked my second aunt: "Auntie, did my second uncle bring this box out of the Qiang village?" ”

The second aunt nodded affirmatively: "Definitely." When he went to the stockade, he came back with such a thing. My family has been poor since I was a child, although I have seen little in the world, but I can also see that this fragrant wood box is not an ordinary thing, with our family's background, we can't afford to buy such an expensive thing. ”

I quickly put away the two Netherworld Treasures, and said to the second aunt: "Xian Xian, I have to go back to the village to have a look, if there is nothing to do at noon tomorrow, I will book a table and have a banquet, you take Xiaowei with you, we haven't eaten together for a long time." ”

The second aunt stood up: "What's the matter so anxious, can't you go again tomorrow?" ”

I shook my head: "It's not urgent, I just want to go back and see it as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, I panicked out of the sleeper.

The second aunt also followed, but her feet were not as fast as mine, and I had already rushed to the living room, and the second aunt was still walking in the corridor.

Originally, I thought that Sun Yongbing would give Li Huaishan and Yan Yanan a face, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the living room, Li Huaishan and Sun Yongbing were chatting happily, listening to what they meant, it seemed that they still wanted to join hands to do something.

I beckoned to Li Huaishan and them: "Ergou, sister, follow me back to Laozhai." ”

I have been with Li Huaishan for so long, he understands my temperament, and he also knows that I am not a person who will be in a hurry for no reason, so he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and pulled Yan Yanan towards me.

Sun Yongbing still didn't recognize me, and when he saw that we were leaving, he got up very politely and sent us to the door, chattering along the way: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, I ordered food outside, let's go after eating." ”

In the past, he always had a nose and not a nose and an eye for me, and I annoyed him from the bottom of my heart, which would be made uncomfortable by his politeness, and as soon as I got out of the hospital, I turned my head and said to him: "I am a fool." ”

Sun Yongbing was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned black.

I didn't have the heart to talk to him, so I took Li Huaishan and Yan Yanan all the way and walked quickly, and it didn't take me twenty minutes to return to the parking lot.

Just when I unlocked the car and was about to get into the cab, Li Huaishan stretched out his hand to block me: "I'll drive, you go back and sit." ”

I frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Huaishan leaned sideways into the cab: "I think you're not in the right state, it doesn't matter if it's just the two of us, but now that Yan Yanan is also in the car, I'm not at ease." ”
