Chapter 6: The Phantom

"Turned green!?"

I was stunned and immediately went to the bathroom, and as I passed by the bones, Rum took a small step back as if he were a little frightened, staring at me with a fixed gaze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror, but found that there was nothing abnormal, my eyes were still black and brown, and my face was very ruddy, not a little green from head to toe.

When he returned to the living room again, Bones was also at a loss: "Just now...... Your eyes are really green, turquoise...... Maybe, I'm dazzled......"

I took a deep breath, and was not interested in the color of my eyes for the time being, and was surprised by what was going on downstairs, why those people were looking at me with such strange eyes, and did they also see my eyes change color?

Thinking of this, I put it on. Coatcoat came downstairs to see what this group of strangers were doing when they had gathered here for more than half an hour.

When I walked out of the corridor, Uncle Liu was no longer there, and the big black civet cat on the lawn was nowhere to be seen. A heart-rending cry sounded from the middle of the crowd: "You just left like this, leaving me an old woman, how can you live......"

I am more familiar with this voice, and I immediately heard the voice of Uncle Liu's wife, Aunt Liu, this old couple is very good, and they also planted some vegetables and corn in the garden downstairs, and distributed them to the neighbors door to door during the autumn harvest.

I was about to get closer to take a look, the bald head who was sleeping also walked down in big pants, probably also woken up, and after seeing the crowd, I sighed sleepily: "This family is enough ink, and I haven't finished crying all afternoon." ”

I looked at him, "What's going on?" ”

The bald head pointed to the middle of the crowd with his chin: "Old man Liu downstairs had a heart attack in the morning and saw the Buddha, these are their sons, women and distant relatives." Originally, the corpse should have been dragged to the crematorium, but the old lady had to stay with the old man a little longer. Good guys, this 'one moment' is an afternoon. Didn't you see that the square dance aunts in the community who couldn't even stop the wind and rain didn't come out, for fear of getting bad luck. ”

"Old man Liu downstairs!? Which old man Liu!? "I kind of couldn't believe my ears.

"There is only one old man Liu downstairs in our house, the one who borrowed your van."

Hearing this sentence made my head boom, I felt as if I had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and the whole person stayed in place!

When I went upstairs half an hour ago, I obviously met Uncle Liu and said hello, how could he have a heart attack and die at noon? Since he died at noon, who is Uncle Liu that I just met in the building and saw on the balcony!?

Seeing my expression, he was stunned in place, and patted me on the shoulder with a bald head: "Why, I haven't seen a dead person for a while, and my courage is small again?" ”

I was not in the mood to joke and asked softly, "Bald, you said that this world is ...... Are there really ghosts? ”

The bald head snorted: "It's not like you haven't met it yourself, you don't need to ask, if there are really no ghosts and souls in the world, Master Zu won't set so many messy rules." I have already given Mr. Liu's share of the money, don't be stupid to look at other people's white things, commit taboos, go for a walk, go upstairs and upstairs. ”

Back upstairs, Leng Qi had already laid out a world map on the table, and when he saw that everyone was gathered, he opened his mouth and introduced: "The news report brought back by the bald head did not say where the crystal fragment was found and where it is placed now. I checked, and the news was originally published by a newspaper called Sedama in Cairo, Egypt. We want to know more details, only where to go first. ”

As she spoke, she picked up a pen and started drawing from Chifeng City on the map: "We will fly directly to Cairo the day after tomorrow, and we will arrive at our destination in the afternoon." The official language of Egypt is Arabic, and English is also widely spoken, so communication is not a problem. It is worth mentioning that if you want to enter the local news newspaper to understand the situation, we need some strong documents, and you are responsible for this Zhang Rui. That's the case for the time being, and we'll make the next steps when we get more information in Cairo. ”

The bald head grinned: "'Aunt Sai'? The name of this newspaper is novel enough. Leng Woman's efficiency in the study this afternoon is quite high, worthy of praise, let's play some foreign in a while, how about the bald master invite you to drink coffee? ”

I was still thinking about Uncle Liu, and I was a little absent-minded, so I answered and then walked to the bathroom and looked at my eyes in the mirror. Although everything was still normal on the surface, I always felt that something was not right, and it was like a big rock pressing down on my heart.

The next morning, I went to the Tongren newspaper office, and as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and this sentence is not false at all. When I found the editor-in-chief Wang Fatzi, I directly explained my intentions, hoping that he could help me apply for a diplomatic interview certificate.

Wang Fatzi is still the same, pushing and shoving and finding all kinds of excuses, one time because I am no longer a newspaper employee, so I can't do it, and the other time because I can't afford this responsibility.

It wasn't until I slapped 20,000 yuan in cash on the table that he narrowed his eyes: "Xiao Zhang, it stands to reason that I violated the rules of the newspaper by doing this, but who made us colleagues and friends for so many years." Leave your ID card in a while, wrap it around me, and you will come and get it the morning after tomorrow! ”

After dealing with everything and getting ready to go, I was still thinking about what happened a few days ago, the strange and weird Qingqiu fox grave, the turquoise pupils, and the mysterious black animal that I met after death. All of this, I don't think it's a coincidence, there must be some kind of connection between them!

Two days were fleeting, and the night before departure, Lao Qian invited the four of us to the Northeast Old Restaurant at the entrance of the antique street for a drink. He said a lot of blessings, and at the end he gave us four bronze necklaces, which were exactly a pair of bronze gold medals.

Everything was ready, on the morning of April 10, Leng Qi went to the airport to wait for his head and bones first, and by the way, he checked in some equipment that was not allowed to be brought on the plane. I first went to the office of my colleague newspaper and got my wish to get a diplomatic interview certificate.

When I arrived at the airport, I had just arrived in the departure hall when I heard the slightly annoyed sound of bones coming from a distance. When we got closer, we planned everything, but we forgot about the 'big problem' on the surface, which was the white mastiff Rum!

According to the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, large canine animals like rum are not allowed to be brought on the plane, and the only way is to take the check-in route.

The bones are inseparable from Rum day and night, and now they are going to be sent to consignment, he is naturally a hundred worried, and shouted angrily to the young lady at the service desk: "Let me get vaccinated, let's get it, let me book a pet position, we also book, let me buy a cage, but you are not so big." It's because you are not fully prepared, why should you let me go to the consignment!? ”

Miss Service Miss always smiled: "I'm sorry sir, your pet exceeds the size of the limit that can be carried, even if the formalities are complete, it cannot be taken on the plane, please go to Area C for check-in, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Bones' attitude was also very resolute: "Consignment? One is in the sky and the other is on the ground, what should you do if you lose my luck!? ”

The bald head approached with a smile on his face: "Sister, otherwise, let's buy a ticket for it, you are accommodating, let us board the plane." ”

"I'm sorry sir, your pet is over the size of the permitted size, even if the formalities are complete, it will not be able to be taken on the plane, please go to Area C to check in, thank you for your cooperation."

The bald head sighed heavily: "Don't worry, our little dog is very well-behaved, it will never bite, and it will not scare people, you see that it is white and clean, how cute it is." ”

"Sorry sir, your pet is over the size of the allowable ......"

Miss Service Miss Miss always had this line in her mouth, and her bald head looked left and right and frowned: "This girl is not a robot, right?" Now that technology is so advanced? Make it the same as the real person......"

The two of them were grinding hard in front of the counter, while Leng Qi was sitting quietly in the waiting area not far away, probably thinking that they were too embarrassed. I shook my head helplessly, then comforted the bones a few words, and the three of us checked in Rum together.

At 6 a.m., we boarded the plane on time and officially embarked on the unknown journey to Cairo, Egypt......
