"Chapter 7: Departure"

"My grandfather has two sons, the eldest is my father, and the second is my second uncle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info: My skills were also passed on to me by my second uncle. Zhang Huanqing said seriously.

"Then how did he go missing? And it's still here. "I wondered why so many people were coming here and what kind of tombs were here.

He compared his eyes, as if he was recalling something, "Three years ago, a group of people found my second uncle, because the second uncle's craftsmanship is well-known in the circle, so they invited the second uncle to go to the next tomb together, saying that it was a big job, because of the good pay, so they agreed." Unexpectedly, I haven't seen him since then. With that, his eyes were a little red.

"And how did you know he was coming from this area?"

"There is a record in the notes left by the second uncle, which I accidentally found when I cleaned up his house," after speaking, he took out a small worn notebook from his arms, "I was about to refuse when I heard them say that it was a protection mission, but after hearing the location they said, I accepted it, I really want to find out what happened to the second uncle and where he disappeared." "After that's all that. He looked a little excited.

"I think there must be something wrong inside, people have been here since decades ago, and now even foreigners are coming, obviously the things in the mountains are very unusual, it must be a feng shui tomb." I thought about it.

"Whether it's or not, it's too dangerous there, and if you don't prepare for it, it's a dead end." He looked at me.

I laughed dryly, "I didn't think about going, besides, I'm not interested, well, just not interested," I regretted it after saying that, I didn't believe what I said, let alone Zhang Huanqing.

After chatting for a long time, Xia Ying knocked on our door, "I said, what are you two doing mysteriously these days?" Skipping a meal? ”

Seeing her strange expression, I couldn't help but tease her, "Hehe, I won't tell you what we're doing." ”

"Hmph, I think you're itchy again." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards me.

"Don't, I was wrong, I was wrong. Eat, go eat, the food will be cold in a while. I hurriedly recognized my mistake and pulled Xia Ying out.

In the next few days, in addition to working every day, I read books and discussed things in the mountains with Zhang Huanqing, just on the tenth day when Zhang Huanqing and they came back. Henriet woke up.

Henrytt, who woke up, roared loudly as if he was crazy, and when he saw Zhang Huanqing, he even pounced, and the result was predictable, and he was pressed to the ground.

After the mood stabilized, Henriet was silent, silent for a long time, and then said that he was going back, after all, a few foreigners died, and he had to explain to the above again. But because the injury is not good, I can only stay for the time being, and the injury is healing.

During this time, I tried to ask Henryt what they were doing here. But he always insisted that he was here to explore, and he didn't tell me.

After several attempts in succession, but without success, I retreated.

It had been half a month since they returned, and Henritte's injuries were almost healed, and at his insistence, we sent him out of the village.

Henry looked at Zhang Huanqing, "Zhang, you are my savior, won't you go back with me?" ”

Zhang Huanqing shook his head, but he didn't say anything. Henrytte, who was still about to say something, saw that he was silent, so he said hello and turned to leave.

As a result, Zhang Huanqing still stayed, saying that he was distracted, but in fact, I felt that he still didn't give up, and he still wanted to continue to go to the mountains to find his second uncle. Every day, he would go to the bamboo forest alone for a long time, and every time he came back, he was covered in dirt.

I said I was going with him, but he refused, saying I was a nerd. He didn't have time to take care of me when I went in, which made me very angry.

Let's talk about it, it's been a few months since I've been here, and my relationship with Xia Ying is getting better and better, in the eyes of others, we are just a young couple full of vitality, although neither of them said it, but it's basically a tacit acquiescence.

After getting along for so long, I basically have a general understanding of his family, he and I are from the same place, the family does a small fabric business, and has a younger sister.

Once we were walking by the river, and I jokingly said, "Look, your sister is not too young, how about introducing Huanqing to your sister and making him a brother-in-law for us." ”

As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, there was a hot pain in my waist, and her hand pinched the soft flesh on my waist for a three-hundred-and-sixty whirl. It hurt so much that my medicine was about to fall off.

"Just him? It's gloomy every day, and my sister can't look down on him. Xia Ying said with a disgusted face

I laughed, but suddenly I heard a voice in my ear, "Who is gloomy, what are you laughing at?" ”

This sudden voice frightened me and Xia Ying. I turned around and saw Zhang Huanqing, who was staring at the two of us smiling, "Damn." You don't make a sound when you walk, like a ghost. I yelled at him.

"It's the two of you talking too hotly, okay? I just called you from behind, and you didn't hear you. He gave us a strange look.

"What nonsense are you talking about, who is hot with him, like a fool." After Xia Ying finished speaking, her face turned red.

I scratched my head, "It's a fool there, to a man as smart as me, there are a few more in this world," and with that, I raised my head and made a handsome look.

Then I heard a faint "Well, it's stupid." And Xia Ying cut it off disdainfully.

"Hey, I said if you guys can still have a good time, can you give some face," I shouted at them, a little frustrated.

We walked and chatted, and when we were about to return to the village, I saw a man sitting on a bluestone slab at the entrance of the village, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, and gently carving something on the stone slab with his other hand. After hearing our footsteps, he quickly raised his leg to block the carving and looked up at us.

When he looked up, he saw a face that looked like it had been burned by the heat, and it was full of burn marks. A head of thinning hair. I remember this man, I met him a few times in the village, and people called him Carpenter, but I still don't know the exact name.

"Uncle Carpenter, what are you doing here," I asked politely.

He looked at us, a hoarse voice coming out of his mouth. "Oh, it's okay, come out and take a break when you're tired."

I was a little surprised that there was an indescribable fluctuation in his eyes when he first saw the three of us, but now he did look very calm.

I squinted my eyes and stole a glance at the bluestone slab he had made, and below my knee, I revealed a very strange shape carved out of stone in the corner. Can't see what.

He coughed, and I quickly looked away. "By the way, Uncle Carpenter, do you know where this river comes from?"

He thought for a moment, "From the mountains," and then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I didn't know how to ask. I said hello and left.

After returning to the room, I whispered to Zhang Huanqing, "Do you feel that Uncle Carpenter is very strange?" ”

But he didn't speak, frowning, thinking about something.

"Hey. I'm talking to you, so be serious," I said, a little puzzled.

He looked at me, "Ah, what did you say?" ”

I was really speechless, "Nothing. You continue to daze you, I'm going to read a book," and then turned around and went back to his room.

When I put it back, I always had a feeling that I couldn't explain, and that feeling only started to have since I met the carpenter today.

Shaking my head, I decided to ask the village chief after dinner to get to know the carpenter.

When reading a book, I always feel that time flies quickly, and before I know it, it is already afternoon, Xia Ying came to call me and Zhang Huanqing to eat, and after the meal, I came to the village chief's residence alone, the village chief was smoking a bag of cigarettes, and after seeing it, Fang got off the cigarette pouch, "It's Xiaoyu, is there something wrong with me." ”

I smiled wryly, "I'm fine, so I won't come to you?" ”

"Haha, you babies, run to me whenever something happens." He said with a smile. "Are you here to ask the carpenter?"

I shook it, how do you call it? "How do you know!" I asked in surprise,

"Xiao Zhang came here just now and asked me about carpenters. Aren't you two often together, so I thought you were here to ask about this. The village chief laughed.

"Well, you're right, I'm just asking about him." I looked at him awkwardly

"Well, I don't know exactly what is such a carpenter," said the village chief with some hesitation.

"How could you not know that? You've been here for so long, what else you don't know. "I'm a little weird.

"Because he is not the original inhabitant of our village, he came from outside and came to our village. So I don't know very well, because he is a carpenter, so we all call him a carpenter. The village chief said seriously.

"Do you know what his name is?"

"I don't know, he was injured when he came, and when he woke up, he seemed to have forgotten what happened before, so we kept her." After saying that, the village chief knocked on his pipe.

I was disappointed that I didn't get the results I wanted, and when I left the village chief's house, I always felt like someone was staring at me, looked around, found nothing, and went back to sleep.

In the next few days, as usual, I repeated the same life every day, that is, Xia Ying and I used to go out for a walk and chat alone, but now there is a light bulb like Zhang Huanqing.
