Chapter 61: Return to the City
We repaired the cabin a little, and then prepared to return to the mountain the same way we came, as before, Wei Yin was still carried by the seventh brother, but when we just walked to the door of the hut, Zheng Tian behind us suddenly stopped us, the expression on his face was a little panicked, as if he was holding something in his hand.
I walked over and patted him on the shoulder and asked him what was going on, he sent the thing he was holding in his hand to me, I looked at it, and I was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a group photo, with Uncle Dao, Brother Qi, Zheng Tian, Dean Wei, Wei Yin, and me, everyone smiling at the camera. The background of the photo is the wooden house we are in.
"This ...... This is what I found under the Taishi's chair when I got up just now. Zheng Tian said tremblingly.
I looked at the Taishi chair, and I felt an indescribable fear in my heart, because before going down to the tomb, the strange photo of me alone was also found there.
At this time, Uncle Dao and Seventh Brother also gathered around, and they were extremely surprised to see the photo Zheng Tian was holding in his hand.
"When did we take this picture?" Brother Qi asked with wide eyes.
"It's impossible to shoot it." Uncle Dao replied quietly.
At this time, I also took out the photo I had found earlier: "Look at this. β
"Chengzi, you ......" Zheng Tian saw the photo in my hand, and his chin stretched longer.
"Did someone secretly photograph us? Like those masked men with shrunken heads and tails? Seventh Brother scratched his head and said.
"Impossible, if you look at the angles of these two photos, they are both facing the camera, and this group photo, obviously posed, is it possible to take a candid shot?" Uncle Dao shook his head decisively and said.
"Are we in trouble?" Brother Qi asked cautiously.
"! It's definitely a hit! How did you encounter these strange things this time! Zheng Tian scolded.
In fact, from the technical point of view of taking pictures, these two photos are very good, everyone is full of energy and smiling, and it is completely the best choice to post on Weibo and Moments, but most of people refuse and resist unexplained things, so now looking at these two photos full of smiles, we all shudder.
"There are often psychic things attached to the pictures that are invisible to the human eye, and if there is really something evil here, I will go back and show it to a few friends on the Tao, and I should be able to see it. Now don't panic, get out of this room and go down the mountain. Uncle Dao looked at the two photos and said.
This wooden house is indeed very weird, after Uncle Dao finished speaking, I directly crossed the threshold and ran outside the house, for fear that something bad would come out.
As for those two photos, Zheng Tian naturally didn't dare to take them, so he handed them over to Uncle Dao directly.
Later, we went down to the Zanglongshan Psychiatric Hospital, the medical conditions in the hospital were limited, so the doctor on duty drove us to the city hospital, Zheng Tian and I were seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for a few days.
Brother Qi and Uncle Dao suffered most of the external injuries, and they were discharged from the hospital after a simple treatment, and when they left, they also left me a few pieces of jade found in the tomb, so that I could find a time to sell them after I got better, and exchange them for money to buy some delicious supplements. The value of these jade artifacts is naturally incomparable to the heavenly treasures that fill the room, but now with the bursting of the stinging pool, the entire secret passage where the treasure is hidden has been wiped out, so for us, those treasures are just a dream-like bubble, stunning in an instant and shattered in eternity.
Uncle Dao then specially put the order back to me, saying that it was not safe for him to put this thing. I cried bitterly in my heart, and said that everyone is a pit father and a son, you are a pit nephew, is it safe to let me go?
As for Wei Yin, who has been unconscious, she was with us in the same hospital at the beginning, but after the situation improved, she was picked up by the two bodyguards at her home, probably transferred to a better hospital.
When the two bodyguards came, they also brought the other half of the remnants of the paintings left in the Wei family, saying that this was the old lady's meaning, and that continuing to stay in their house would only cause more unnecessary trouble, so it was better to hand them over to Uncle Dao directly to see if he could crack the mystery in the painting.
Then the bodyguard left a phone number for us, and went to my and Uncle Dao's numbers again, saying that there was any follow-up situation, and we would contact us by phone.
I was lying in the hospital bed for a few days, my head was always messy, I can say that the mental pressure is far more terrible than the physical injury, along the way, I encountered too many incredible things, those strange dreams, those bloody people, those treasures, those organs, those photos...... It's like an invisible little thorn, densely pierced in my head, lingering.
During this time, Uncle Dao called me and told me that he showed the photos to someone who knew them, but the result was that the photos were completely normal and not stained with any dirt. I asked him again how the secret painting of the Northern and Southern Dynasties had been cracked, and he said that there had been some results, so I could recuperate with peace of mind and be discharged from the hospital.
Half a month later, I was discharged from the hospital one step ahead of Zheng Tian, and the first thing I did when I was discharged from the hospital was not to find Uncle Dao and Seventh Brother, but to the small store where Fat Bear had cheated my money.
The faΓ§ade has now changed hands to a noodle shop with a sign that reads "Tong Suo Wu Bullying".
The owner of the noodle shop is also a funny-looking fat man, and if you look closely, she looks a little like a fat bear.
I sat inside and ordered a bowl of noodles, and while eating, I looked at the fat boss, and felt embarrassed while looking at the fat boss, thinking that the fat bear also died to save us, and I had to say something to commemorate him.
Once I was emotional, I didn't think about it, and finally I spilled the noodle soup on the ground as wine, and kept chanting the mantra in my mouth to commemorate the former owner of this house.
The people around me looked at me with strange eyes and talked about it. The boss also came over and asked me if I was not in a good mind, but I ignored them, dropped the money and walked out the door.
When I got out of the noodle shop, I called Uncle Dao to meet him, and then take a good look at this strange adventure, and by the way, see how he cracked the painting.
However, what I didn't expect was that Uncle Dao's mobile phone was always down and couldn't get through at all. In desperation, I had to go directly to his old nest - Yu Ming Zhai, after all, he usually lives in it, but unfortunately when I arrived at that time, I found that the door of Yu Ming Zhai has been locked.
Feelings: This old boy is playing with me again and disappearing? Seeing that there was really no way, I had to call Brother Seven, to see if he knew Uncle Dao's whereabouts, in fact, I didn't have much hope, Uncle Dao has always acted like a dragon, and Brother Seven probably didn't know where he went.
Sure enough, the seventh brother on the other end of the phone told me that since the separation of the hospital, he and Uncle Dao have not been in contact for half a month. I asked Brother Qi where he was now and if he could come out to meet him, but he told me that his old mother was sick and that he had now returned to his hometown in Guangdong.
I had no choice but to go home first, and then talk to Zheng Tian when he was discharged from the hospital.
About a week later, Zheng Tianlai, who was discharged from the hospital, came to the phone: "Chengzi, where are you now?" β
I smiled and said, "At home, I recently sold a few pieces of jade from the tomb and exchanged some money, did you kid share the money with me?" Rest assured, it's already for you. β
Zheng Tian on the other end of the phone was not interested in what I said: "You should keep the little money for yourself, I called you to say that there is an important person who wants to see you." β
"Someone important? Who? β
"We'll talk about the details when you'll be free?" Zheng Tian did not answer me directly.
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's meet at the restaurant we often go to on Hanzhong Road, remember, and bring over the order that your Uncle Dao gave you."
I didn't know what the hell Zheng Tian was doing, so I agreed first: "Okay, see you or leave." β
