Chongqing, a mountain city that will always be filled with the smell of hot pot in my impression, is still mysterious.

Now I am accustomed to Jiang Yuan's way of thinking, and his story stopped abruptly at this point, and asked me to book a ticket to Chongqing as soon as possible, and what is even more exaggerated is that he actually asked me to charter the first class and economy class of all the flights that night.

To be honest, I've done this kind of thing before, and that's because my uncle has something to do and has to do it, but now, we have to charter the first class and economy class of all the flights that night, even after deducting the tickets that have been booked, the rest is a very crazy number.

I don't want to count this number anymore, it's not bad money anyway.

According to Jiang Yuan's meaning, I changed different accounts on the Internet to book air tickets, and at the same time, in order to avoid suspicion from the airport, I even used some personal relationships to charter flights in the name of a travel agency, and soon, a stack of bills with the "0" mantissa of the air ticket money that made me look at the headache was faxed to me.

It was still early, so I took the opportunity to take Jiang Yuan to the basement and asked him to help me see what these iron boxes in the basement were. ”

I asked him, "What is here?" Do you know these boxes? ”

Jiang Yuan walked to a box closest to him, and lifted the lid of the box with both hands without difficulty, I stretched out my head to take a look, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, and said in my heart, how could these things be in here?

Jiang Yuan glanced back at me and asked, "How long have these things been here?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know." ”

Jiang Yuan looked at me with some doubts, and I immediately explained: "This is not my home, although it is also the property left by my grandfather, but it has always been in the care of my uncle, and this thing is probably brought by him." ”

I continued, "What do you seem to know?" ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "The human bones in the box were all brought out of the ancient tomb, look at this." ”

So saying, he took a leg bone from the bones and handed it to me, saying, "Can you see anything?" ”

I took a closer look, shook my head and said, "In terms of age, the skeleton is no more than thirty years old, and it is a pity that he died at such a young age." ”

Jiang Yuan put down the leg bone and then took out the skull with both hands and said, "Look at this." ”

There are very obvious marks on the skull, this mark is the same as the mark on the leg bone, it looks like someone deliberately got it, and this mark is the pattern of my uncle's seal, and the number is the same, YK7741.

"Is it a person?" I asked him.

"Yes, but don't you think it's weird?" He looked at me, "The leg bone is under thirty years old, but the information on the skull shows that the man is over 100 years old. ”

I said to myself on the side: "A hundred-year-old head and a thirty-year-old body, this is not scientific, is it difficult, we really had the art of changing heads in ancient times." ”

Jiang Yuan looked around thoughtfully, "There may not be a trick to change heads, but your uncle will collect these things, he must have discovered the secret, he wants to use modern technology to solve this mystery, probably because he found something in the process of cracking, which is why there is everything behind." ”

I then opened a box to my left, and inside it was the same skeleton, which was very well preserved, but it was very small, and it looked like a boy of fifteen or sixteen.

Jiang Yuan put the skull back in the iron box and closed the lid, and when he returned to the living room, he looked at the ceiling and said: "This house has been deliberately renovated, they have added a protective layer on the basis of the original building, and some things are hidden in this protective layer, I don't think we have enough time to demolish it, let's do it first, lock it here, and wait for us to come back." ”

I looked at the roof in amazement, to be honest, I really don't know when this house was built, I only remember that since I can remember, this is the forbidden place of our family, one is because the place where it is located is really remote, the large woods behind the house can give people an eerie feeling even during the day, think about this Beijing city a long, long time ago, thousands of years ago it was also a place full of legends, and the second is mainly because this house was once haunted, When a servant was cleaning this place before, he saw a white shadow walking towards the basement, and he was scared sick because of his timidity, but then my uncle came forward to seal it, and the matter did not spread.

I looked at everything in this house, and Jiang Yuan's seemingly intentional and unintentional words made me have a lot of thoughts about this house, and some of the memories and fragments that I had forgotten before seemed to be slowly returning.

Wherever I stood, I felt a cold wind all over my body, and Jiang Yuan was already standing at the door, pointing to his watch and saying, "It's time to go." ”

I took my backpack, locked the door and then pulled down the main gate in the yard, the surroundings instantly became out of sight, Jiang Yuan and I turned on the flashlight and carefully touched the side of the car, drove down the mountain road at the fastest speed, and did not encounter anything strange along the way, when we arrived at the airport, the time was just right, we randomly chose one of the many seats, on the plane, I saw that Jiang Yuan had been staring at his watch, and the mobile phone was still showing the four words of system connection, and the others were still unresponsive.

Taking a taxi from Jiangbei Airport to Shapingba Three Gorges Square, Jiang Yuan and I were half-asleep all the way, and we didn't know that it was already dawn when we arrived at the place.

Except for some people who sleep in the square, there is a hawker who sells food at night, I bought some food from there, and the lo-mei is very authentic, maybe I am very hungry, and a large bag of things is wiped out by us in three or two.

Sitting on the steps outside a shopping mall like two homeless people, Jiang Yuan was silent and heavy all the way, just holding his mobile phone and staring at the screen in a daze.

"Hey, there's something I want to ask first."

Jiang Yuan didn't even look at me, and said, "There are two questions that I won't answer you, other than that, everything else is fine." ”

I was stunned, "What two questions can't be asked?" ”

Jiang Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at me and said, "First, don't ask me where the others have gone?" Second, don't ask me about the purpose of this visit to Chongqing. ”

I sneered in my heart, and said that I just want to know the answers to these two questions, and I don't want to ask, so what do I ask?

I smiled bitterly at him, pulled out my wallet from my backpack, and said, "You sit, little brother, I'll go and get some money." ”

Jiang Yuan stared at the phone screen and nodded, said a quick reply, I stood in the middle of the square looking for the ATM machine, and withdrew some cash at an ATM next to a McDonald's, and when I came back, I saw one more person next to Jiang Yuan, this person looked at me expressionlessly, I didn't react for a while, and I was stunned for a moment.
