Chapter 45: A Fragment
The next day, the morning sun was rising, a round of red sun reflected the east, I got up early in the morning, in fact, I didn't sleep at all night, I thought a lot, and the most worried was Song Jingtong's whereabouts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Frightened, I simply cleaned up, opened the door, and wanted to leave here with Rhubarb without alarming anyone, and go to find Song Jingtong's whereabouts.
"Xiao Zhu, I knew you were going to say goodbye?" Xiao Qi stood outside the door, staring at me.
"Why?" He shook his head and didn't respond, as if something hadn't been sorted out.
"The green mountains do not change the green water, you save my life, I will keep the secret for you, it can be regarded as a report and a report, but you have to promise me one thing." I was helpless, after all, he saved my life, otherwise in my state at that time, even if I relied on the Great Thunder Bow and barely suspended on the water, I might have died of hypothermia.
"What's the matter?"
"I hope you tie yourself with a rope when you sleep every day, I don't want this to happen again." He hesitated, looked a little solemn, looked up at me, and said a word.
"If I was attracted to something about you yesterday that led me to sleepwalk and kill someone, would you believe it?" He's serious, not like a joke.
I was stunned for a moment, felt a little weird, pondered for a while, recalled everything last night, and found that the time when Xiao Qi sleepwalked was somewhat consistent with the time when I found Yanxin Jade Seal. It all seems too much of a coincidence, too much to figure out.
"I think I know who you are?" He stared at me and spoke slowly, and I was taken aback when he said the first sentence.
"You should also go for the treasure at the bottom of Fulong Lake."
"I don't know what you're talking about?" I looked innocent, and I only knew the name of Fulong Lake when I woke up, and I didn't have any intentions.
"Wang!" Rhubarb barked, Niuniu didn't know when she woke up, standing at the door looking at me, her little red face was innocent, and she loved it indescribably.
"Brother, grandpa, what are you doing!"
"Niuniu, grandpa has something to find you Tianci brother, you go and play first."
Xiao Qi broke away Niuniu and took me aside, "Whether you are for the treasure in Fulong Lake or not, report it back and report it, I will never keep you if you leave, I just hope that you will never come back, you take this money first, and use it later." "He gave me ten yuan, which was his income for nearly a month of fishing.
"Is this hush money?" I smiled bitterly, wanted to shirk it, thought about it and accepted it, before leaving, Xiao Qi told me something, it seemed that he vaguely knew about my origin, but he didn't mention it much.
Xiao Qi's talk made me interested in the mysterious treasures of Fulong Lake.
"Speaking of the treasure at the bottom of the Fulong Lake, it also has some relationship with the third prince of Zhu, according to legend, this is the treasure left by Emperor Jianwen, when the Ming Dynasty died, the hidden force belonging to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen began to save the Ming Dynasty, and then the emperor of the Southern Ming regime also relied on the treasure left by Emperor Jianwen to compete with the Qing army for a period of time."
According to legend, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty once came here to find this lost treasure, but it was delayed due to state affairs, and then it was gone. They are all legends that have been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can say whether there is treasure in Fulong Lake. "He mentioned a person, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and I suddenly remembered something, and opened the yellowed ancient book, and the first chapter after the torn pages was about him.
I was taken aback, is this really a coincidence? Or as fate would have it, when I flipped through the ancient book, Xiao Qi looked at me with some surprise.
"Huh? How is the writing on this book so similar to the piece of paper that my father gave me to keep safe? ”
I became interested, and immediately asked about the whereabouts of the paper, and I couldn't wait to know what happened back then, and how the story after the ghost hit the wall.
"You wait, I'll find it for you." I'm glad that this is an unexpected gain, and I'm sure that by finding the missing pages, the book will be threaded through, and the answer and the truth will be revealed.
After a long time, Xiao Qi found a dusty iron box from the firewood room, which was covered with rust, and it looked like it had been some years.
He opened it, and there were a few taels of silver in the iron box, as well as an ocean, on which the portrait of Yuan Shikai was still clearly visible, a black-and-white photo and a yellowed piece of paper, glued together and could not be separated.
"Can I take a look at this picture?"
"You can take a look at this, maybe you are the destined person that my father asked me to wait for." He grinned, very generous.
It was a black-and-white photograph, which was fairly well preserved, except for the rust in the iron box, which caused the photo to be a little sticky.
There are five people in the photo, all wearing late Qing official uniforms, but what makes me feel strange is that their location is so close to the entrance of Guangmingtun Village.
I was stunned, it's not close, this is simply a photo taken in Guangmingtun, I recognized the silhouette behind several people, it was a willow tree, and there would be no mistake in the leafy branches.
I broke out in a cold sweat, the people and scenes in this black and white photo all pointed to one place, the big willow tree in Guangmingtun Village.
"God-given, God-given? What happened to you? Xiao Qi shook me, and I reacted, but I chuckled in my heart, behind this ancient book, it was far more simple than I imagined.
I carefully tore a gap between the black-and-white photograph and the yellowed page, and when my eyes stayed on the small print on the paper, I didn't dare to let out my nervous atmosphere.
The rain stopped, the thunder was still loud, Ma Ye settled everything, everything seemed to be very calm, but in the second half of the night, there were wailing voices from time to time, and everyone consciously gathered together, pulled the bolt, and got ready.
"Master Ma can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf!" Qin Ming urged, his face solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Ma Ye hesitated for a few seconds, a look of pain welled up on his face, and he immediately gave a decisive order, discarded the goods loaded in one of the cars, and hurried at full speed.
The subsequent texts have become illegible and obscured because they have not been properly preserved.
I was taken aback, I never thought that I would find here the fragments of one of the missing pages of the ancient book, and by chance, it was next to the one above, and the story was connected again, but I still had no clue.
"When was this picture taken, and when did this yellowed piece of paper end up in your hands?" I asked two questions in succession, Xiao Qidu shook his head, he couldn't remember the approximate age, but he knew that this thing had been in his hands for no more than twenty years, and this was the only effective clue he could provide me.
