"Not sure." The fifth uncle looked at the red sky outside the window, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked lazy. I know the fifth uncle is listening. I think his answer is reasonable, after all, he hasn't seen a man in a trench coat.

I said, "That's good," and continued to ask, do you know the red sandalwood box?

"A little, but not sure." The fifth uncle looked at the rising smoke rings until they became faint, and then he looked back at me deeply.

The fifth uncle told me to stop thinking about it when I went home this time, and not to run around, and to stay at home.

In the evening, the fifth uncle got off at a certain stop. Someone's watching us, he said. Before getting out of the car, he told me a few words repeatedly.

I also didn't ask if I wanted anything.

Lying in bed and not knowing what to do. I've decided to go back to my hometown this time to investigate some things.

In my spare time on the train, I called my friend Chengyang, told him that I was going back to see him, and told him what had happened to me.

Chengyang is a friend I trust very much, and his grandfather and my grandfather know each other well, and both have experience in sand mining.

Feng Shui takes turns, and the difference is that his grandfather is still in the world. Chengyang's family is a big family in our hometown, and they earn a lot of money every year. And Chengyang also secretly opened an antique shop on his own, which was a year ago.

I've always thought that time on the train was going to be very dull, and nothing would happen that would cause ripples. Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, someone was shouting that someone was stealing. In the end, the whole carriage woke up from their deep sleep and checked their belongings one after another. I'm only a few hundred dollars old. So I didn't pay attention to my luggage.

It was already three or four o'clock in the morning when the train arrived in Quzhou, and I really had no choice but to dial the phone with a clear conscience and ask Chengyang to pick me up. After waiting for an hour or so, Cheng Yang drove his Alto, which was almost ready to be rebuilt, and I was in tears when I saw it.

"You kid, I thought I would make a fortune in Guangdong, and I won't come."

Chengyang pushed the door and shouted. Then I threw my luggage in the trunk.

I yawned and teased, "Where's it?" In how to make a fortune, you can't forget about you, a rich man. ”

After getting into the car, Cheng Yang asked solemnly, "Did something big happen?" ”

I considered my words and didn't know how to express them, so I could only nod helplessly.

I saw that Cheng Yang just frowned, stepped on the accelerator, and said, "Don't go home!" Let's go back to my shop! ”

I agree.

The shop in Chengyang is not big, and it is outside the remote suburbs! The second-hand Alto shook for a long time before arriving safely.

The antique store is still not well-known, and there are generally few people who have traffic.

In fact, I have always wondered how it is possible to open an antique shop in such a barren mountain and wild place, and it is very fast.

Chengyang ran out every day, and although the business was relatively unpopular and sluggish, he still hired an apprentice.

I parked the car, got out, and looked at the cozy soft candle flame. I could see a narrow shadow in the corridor vaguely, and I had to move from time to time.

"Hey, Chengyang, there's someone in the corridor." I suddenly chuckled and shouted.

Unexpectedly, the kid from Chengyang just replied lightly: "Don't make a fuss, that's the apprentice in my shop, Xiao Gui." ”

I had a cold sweat on my forehead and patted my chest that was constantly heaving, "Damn! I thought something about it! ”

"What are you afraid of, is it difficult or zongzi?" Cheng Yang sneered at me and said, "You guts, can you still fight?" ”

Hearing this, I could only smile awkwardly: "Inverted fight." Where did I get so many fights, I haven't been on the ground yet. ”

Passing through the corridor, sure enough, the shadow just now was indeed the apprentice in the Chengyang shop, Xiao Kui. However, he was dozing off on the counter.

I saw Cheng Yang's eyebrows raised, and a flying leg with just the right force kicked out quickly. The apprentice of Aoi jumped up with a wow.

"You kid knows how to be lazy! Looking for a fight! As he spoke, he swung his wrist again.

Frightened, Xiaokui even kowtowed and shouted her mother's apology: "Yang Shao, you're back!" ”

Chengyang nodded.

I'm having fun on the sidelines! Unexpectedly, that kid, with a very vicious eye, saw me. I didn't almost choke on saliva, it was like a stealing kitten caught by his master.

I waved my hand and said to Cheng Yang, "Forget it! I've got something for you! ”

Cheng Yang nodded, he also knew that being an apprentice in his shop was a chore, and he could only sleep when he was free.

So Chengyang took me to the second floor. When Aoi saw us go upstairs, she went down to sleep again.

The architectural style of the shops in Chengyang is biased towards the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are several cloisters, and the staircase is actually wooden. Stepping on it makes a screeching crackling sound that makes me feel eerie, and it also has an echo.

Cheng Yang said to me with some embarrassment: "No way! It's cheap here! ”

I walked behind him, and when I got to the second floor, the muddy light in the cloister seemed to have been cut off with a knife, and there was not a single light source behind the stairs on the second floor.

I scolded, "I'm grass, so dark! What the hell! Chengyang, can you turn on the lights? ”

Cheng Yang turned around and shouted, "What nonsense! Do you see the wires here? ”

I squinted and looked, and it was. As the words fell, Cheng Yang tinkered with the wall for a while, I got closer, and heard a switch being touched, and with a "click", a dull orange-red light pierced through the darkness and stopped at a distance of about ten meters.

The sight immediately lit up, and I saw that it was Chengyang holding a bright flashlight in his hand. Then under his leadership, I entered a small wooden house, which was Chengyang's room, but fortunately, the wires were connected to the first floor, so if there was electricity in the room, there would naturally be a lamp.

It took me more than half an hour to tell him everything that had happened. I saw that his brow was constantly locked. After muttering for a long time, he clapped his hands and shouted, quick, take out the red sandalwood box.

I looked at Cheng Yang's expression and thought he should know something. So I immediately unbuttoned and unzipped it, but in an instant, my expression froze.

I looked through my backpack and found that the red sandalwood box that I had pressed underneath was gone...... The whole person stood in place as if he was about to be petrified.

Seeing that I looked like this, Cheng Yang punched me directly, and the box was gone, wasn't it?

I nodded.

After hearing this, Cheng Yang took the bag upside down, and the contents poured down like a tide. During this period, a piece of yellow paper with a gap actually floated down.

Chengyang and I quickly took it down immediately.

When we took it in our hands, we found that there was no detailed information or pictures recorded in this yellow paper, let alone a letter or anything, but a map......

Have you seen that red sandalwood box anywhere?

I asked abruptly.
