Chapter 11
I stared at these four words for a long time, and then my brain slowly reacted, no, according to the precedent of the madman dying on the third watch, I can only live one night and one day tomorrow at most, no matter what, I have to remember what the secret is, or try to escape now.
I crept to the door, put my ear to the door panel, listened carefully to the movement outside, and after making sure that there was no one outside, through the crack in the door, and then the faint moonlight looked at the wrist-thick copper lock outside, searched and searched, and finally found a relatively strong thin branch, stretched out the branch and poked the copper lock, and then there was a sound of metal clattering, and I got down again and came to the dog hole.
This hole is slightly smaller than my head, throwing two palm-sized baked cakes is about the same, trying to drill a person out, it is impossible, I tried to break the bricks next to me with my hands, but except for falling some pieces of green bricks, it is useless, I looked at the fingers that have been scratched blood, shook my head, and had to give up.
Sitting back in the corner, it seemed that the only way out was to find my memory, and I went through everything in my head, but it was like a cat pounced on the ball, and I had no clue at all, like stuffing a large mass of sticky paste into my brain, slimy, tangled.
At this time, the fish belly has been seen outside, and some things can be seen faintly, I don't know if it is an illusion before death, I always feel that this night is much shorter than usual, there is still one day left, only a hundred days left, watching the light in the crack in the door is getting brighter and stronger, getting stronger and stronger, and the sweat on the head is also dripping down.
I picked up a random piece of broken bricks from last night, and drew it on the ground, first of all, I had to sort it out, that is to say, I first had to find the thread end of this ball of thread, and then as long as I touched the melon along the vine, gently pulled, all the problems were naturally solved.
Of course, it's easy to say, but it's really a thousand things to do, I can't start at all, I thought about it for a long time, and decided that time is still the root of everything, so I drew two big boxes on the ground, one of which is marked as the past, and the other is the present, I filled in everything I knew in the two squares, whether true or false, all of them were written in, and then compared with each other, one by one screening and screening, I believe that the last thing left must be the answer to the question, even if it is not, it is absolutely closely related to the final answer.
Now there are a lot of things that can be filled in this box, I have written more than a dozen names alone, and even those I have occasionally heard on the street, and I have never met them, of course, I wrote myself, Brother Cui and Sister Mei in the most eye-catching position at the end, since Chunxiang reminded me, it must be very important, and it needs to be taken out separately.
And in the reciprocal past box, there was no one, I thought about it for a long time, and I could only write the words "Lei Xiaofeng" in it, and write the former governor below, or that rule, whether it is true or not, list it and talk about it.
Then came the incident, I always thought that there were many, many things that had happened recently, so much so that I couldn't finish writing, but when I really fell into the pen, I found that the real thing was only the death of the madman and the night conversation between Chunxiang and me.
And there is not a single incident in the past, and some only have questions, so they are simply empty and saved for the last list of doubts.
The item column is even simpler, a wooden pistol, a jade tube that can draw the word thunder and a pair of ancient jade in Lei Yuhao's hand, of course, I put the jade tube and the ancient jade in the past.
And finally, the biggest one: the problem.
Now in a box, I picked out all the key points of what Chunxiang and Lei Yuhao said to me, and listed them, and added the identity of I can use a gun, a madman, etc., and in the past box, whether I am the former governor of the town, this is the first question, followed by the use of the jade pipe, from the time I saw the seal body thunder words full of runes, I never believed that this jade pipe is just an object for people to play with, such a strange and ingenious object, even if it is an ornament, it must be a token representing some special identity, The effect is estimated to be somewhat similar to the half of the ancient jade in Lei Yuhao's hand.
Although there were only these two questions in the past frame, these two questions are the root of the fundamentals, and whether I can survive or not is all in one move.
After writing it all, I didn't rush to answer them one by one, but sat back in the corner, slowly drank cold water, forced myself to calm down, absolutely can't make mistakes, so many complicated questions, a little bit biased, the following must be full of losses, and time gives me only one chance, the bet is my life, win to live, lose to death, there is no other way.
I drank most of the half pot of water, rubbed my face, took a deep breath, and slowly crawled back to the picture, staring at each one on the ground, starting one by one.
First of all, I looked at the name again, and eliminated Mr. Li, Xiao Yuan, and Lotus, Mr. Li is not his own person, and Lotus has always played the role of He Mud, Xiao Yuan is a child, useless, and left Haruka because she was helping me, and now whether it is a person or a ghost, being able to help is the first thing.
Under the names of Brother Cui and Sister Yuanmei, I wrote Cui Dali and Li Yuanmei respectively, and below Li Yuanmei, I wrote the words Lingqi and Master Li, and under my name, I wrote Master Lei.
I circled the two names Lei Yuhao and Qi Xuanzhu separately, representing the most important thing.
Continuing down is the incident, Qi Xuanzhu kept telling me to go quickly before he died, why did he let me go? Did he say the same thing to anyone else? Where to go? I wrote this on the side, was the gun he made for Obuchi just a toy or was it something else? Judging from his indignant and righteous awe-inspiring performance when he later died, I am afraid that he had thought of such consequences when he made the gun, which proves that this gun is not just a toy, and it can also prove that the gun is not for Xiao Yuan at all, but for me.
Why make a gun for me? Does he know I'll use a gun? Of course, judging from the performance of the moment I got the gun, I will indeed use it, since he knows that I will use it, it proves that he knew me before I lost my memory, I heard Chunxiang say that he was one of the members of the army that came on the Qingming Festival, and he was a soldier, so maybe I used to be in this army, and judging from the scars on my body, this possibility is very great, but the amnestics are deeper than him, and I wrote the word soldier next to the former governor under Lei Xiaofeng in the past box.
Then Chunxiang's night talk, that night she mentioned that the town was designed to gather ghosts at the beginning of the town, since I am a human being, it is impossible to become a governor, think about it, I have never seen a gun in this town, my biggest identity is very likely to be a soldier, thinking, I crossed out the words of the former governor, and at the same time wrote the word soldier next to Cui Dali and Li Yuanmei, since they are the same people as me, nine times out of ten are soldiers who came here with Qi Xuanzhu, this assumption is currently the most reasonable.
Skipping the headache and Mr. Li's recitation, I went directly to the item column, crossed out the wooden pistol, and only the jade pipe and ancient jade remained, Chunxiang said, this jade pipe is my thing, and she also said that this town was built by the Lei family's uncle, that is to say, my surname is not false, is the so-called Lei family's uncle possible as my ancestor? Or someone who has anything to do with me, Chunxiang also said that those two pieces of ancient jade are the foundation of their survival, so I can boldly assume that the purpose of the army of 500 people on the Qingming Festival is to escort me back what belongs to my family, and Lei Yuhao is in the interests of life and death of himself and the whole town, and killed everyone else, and in the end only me, Cui Dali, Li Yuanmei and Qi Xuanzhu were left.
This is also in line with what Lei Yuhao said about killing me with the infamy of disloyalty, unfilial piety, and treachery, so that Yuguan and Gu Yu are all right, and the appearance of the pistol and Qi Xuanzhu's performance are also in line with common sense.
And Zhang Xiaofeng may just be a pseudonym I have used, nine times out of ten it was made up in order to deceive Lei Yuhao and let him relax his vigilance.
However, there are also a few very unreasonable points in this, first, how did 500 heavily armed soldiers be killed by a group of unarmed villagers without leaving a piece of armor? After thinking about it, since the whole town is full of ghosts, this is not impossible, so this article is also crossed out, and second, leave me alone, Chunxiang said that Qi Xuanzhu accepted the reality and hid it, and what about Li Yuanmei and Cui Dali? Why did they survive? Do you want to accept the reality like Qi Xuanzhu and hide it for the time being? Or is it like me, too much amnesia is severe?
At this point I found that there was no need to continue, I wiped off the unrecognizable handwriting with damp straw, sat back in the corner, thinking about a larger problem that had been overlooked, and watched the light shining through the crack in the door getting brighter and brighter, and my heart slowly became clear, not only will I not die tonight, but maybe everything will be revealed, thinking of this, I can't help laughing.
Today's noon meal is exceptionally good, there are two straw paper wrapped in white chopped chicken legs and a small pot of soju, it seems that even ghosts know the truth of the severed head rice, I have a chicken leg in one hand, a wine jug in the other, a feast, eat and drink enough, lie on the straw and sleep beautifully.
When I woke up, it was already sunset outside, I stretched my waist, bit the straw, and leaned against the wall leisurely, waiting for the third watch to thunder Yu Hao to ask someone to behead.
When it was dark, someone brought dinner, it seemed that Lei Yuhao really felt guilty, for fear that I would be a starving ghost, dinner turned out to be a whole piece of sauced beef and soju, when the beef was thrown in, it was stained with a lot of sand, and it was blown clean, regardless of eating it in a big gulp, eating and drinking, I simply sat down next to the dog hole, if I was not mistaken, there would be something later.
I waited until the second watch drum sounded, it was quiet outside, and no one came, and I couldn't help muttering in my heart, am I wrong? That envisaged problem doesn't exist at all?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt that the air around me was instantly cold, and my body was shivering by the warm wine, and there was still an hour before the third watch, this time it was really a mistake, and I lost all the plates, no, I won't be wrong, let alone wrong, there must be something delayed.
Thinking about it, I hurriedly crawled to the entrance of the cave, my eyes longed to watch, my heart was beating like a thousand drums in unison, but it was dark outside, silent, and after a full meal, I gave up completely, wrong, everything was wrong, I sat up, my mind was blank, and my heart was like ashes.
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal rubbing from the entrance of the cave, I hurriedly flew up, picked up a half-foot-long pig-killing knife from the ground, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground with a bang, and I was immediately excited.
