Chapter 52: The Ancient Tomb in the Notebook
But later, Ren Qiancang took advantage of the vacation after the primary school graduation exam and Ye Yan took pocket money to find the Ren family's old house together. There he saw his mother. When he went, his mother was already dead in her hospital bed. There was a bowl of noodles with black hair next to the bed, and my mother was lying on the bed, covered in those white bugs. It's the kind in Wuguang Express.
At first, he thought that his father was too busy to neglect his mother. Let my mother die of illness in the old mansion alone, and no one knows.
But Dad just told him not to ask, and he would take care of it. After that, there was no funeral he expected, and when he was a little older and slipped away to the old house, he asked many people and didn't know where his mother went. Eventually, he found a coffin crawling with insects in an empty room at the back of the old house. That's Mom.
Since then, he has always hated his father, and began to investigate the matter in the Ren family's well.
Ren Qiancang sat on the roof, holding himself with both hands, and said, "Wu Guang used my mother to provoke me, and he really knows me. He knew that letting me see my mom again would definitely deepen my hatred for my dad. He did it. Wu Guang's counterattack is getting more and more serious every time, even if he doesn't use Taoism and uses people's hearts, he can still let me follow his design. ”
I reached out and hugged Ren Qiancang and rested my head on his shoulder: "Don't talk about this." ”
He turned his head, looked at me, and smiled, "At that time, weren't you afraid?" ”
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid."
"I killed someone. This time it was a real killing. Or killed my dad with his own hands. ”
"We said that if we want to go to hell, we will go together. Afraid of what? ”
"Merchant." He lowered his head and kissed me on the lips. I didn't shy away from it. Even if he is a real murderer now, I will not let him go.
Bao Ye's call came at this time. Ren Qiancang answered the phone with some impatience and said, "Why is it so inappropriate every time you call?" ”
Bao Ye said on the other side of the phone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't see if you are rolling on the bed." Why don't you continue, and I'll fight again later? After a two-second pause, he added, "Still rolling hair?" If something happens, you're still in the mood to get out! I ask you, how did your dad die? Okay, I don't need to say it, I just took a look, and I knew it was you. I said Uncle Ren, can't you restrain yourself? You killed someone with your own hands, how can I show you the way in the future? Even if I had a way to get you there, they wouldn't be able to reincarnate you right away. Uncle Ren, you and I are the uncle, how can you still fall into Wu Guang's way. ……”
We don't know what Bao Ye said later, because Ren Qiancang hung up the phone directly, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said, "On the night of the fifteenth, I should have sat with you like this to admire the moon." But there were so many things that night. ”
"Aren't we able to admire the moon here now? Although the moon doesn't seem to be as round as yesterday and the day before yesterday, and there are clouds in the sky to obscure the moonlight, it doesn't matter, you're still so handsome. "We weren't bothered by Bao Ye's phone call in the slightest, and that night, we watched the moon from the rooftop and didn't return to our room until the early hours of the morning.
He hugged me and kissed me, and I didn't refuse. He's a murderer, I'm an accomplice, and we're going to hell together anyway. When I first walked into the small building, I would never have imagined that one day I would commit such a crime. But now, I don't care anymore, as long as I can be with him. Only he can give me a feeling of love, a feeling of home.
Bao Ye came directly at dawn the next day, I was still asleep in bed, Ren Qiancang threw the key down from the window, and let him open the door by himself.
When I freshened up and returned to the living room on the first floor, Bao Ye had already made breakfast for me, and said: "Aunt Shangshang, fortunately, your husband doesn't need to eat, otherwise who would dare to ask for it like you?" ”
"Well, I know that you are virtuous, and I know that you are a wife."
"Wife!" Bao Ye was angry, "Auntie, can you change the word?" I'm so upset that people say I'm a wife! Lao Tzu is also a school leader, and you say that he is a wife? ”
Bao Ye was eating breakfast on the big antique table angrily, and I first came to Ren Qiancang to look at the thing in his hand. It was a very old, yellowed page, and a small notebook with a ** avatar. Some of the paper has been frayed, and the words on it are a little blurred. After all, the ink at that time was not waterproof, the protection was not good, and the handwriting was easily pasted.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Information on an ancient tomb. It should be used for tomb robbing. The opening of the tomb in the nature of scientific research will not be recorded in this way. ”
Bao Ye was drinking porridge over there and said, "Correct solution, worthy of being a member of the Ren family." Do you think it's a big deal to come out, everyone is like you, hide and kiss me and I'll pass? Yesterday, Wu Guang was half dead busy. Because of the confidential nature of this matter, he has to do many things himself. He didn't come home until the early hours of the morning.
He's not at home, so it's good for me. I slipped into the old man's room. Just take a small flashlight and shine it! Wow! I felt like I was in the ear chamber. Why is it an antique before? I turned it inside and out, and finally I got under the bed and dismantled one of his boards before I found it. If you are not familiar with ancient documents, you will never see that there is a mystery in that board. It was impossible for a bed in those days to have that decorative panel, but I had to look at it with more eyes.
When I saw that book, I knew I was looking for the right thing, so I bit the flashlight and read it under the bed, and I was afraid that Wu Guang would come to check it after handling things. Am I easy? Can the merchant aunt understand these things? ”
I shook my head, I really didn't understand this.
Ren Qiancang said: "In front of it is the design drawings of the various organs in the tomb, and there is also a road map to bypass the mechanisms. After that, the central burial chamber is reached. There is a sarcophagus in the central burial chamber, whose tomb? He asked.
Bao Ye sighed and said, "Uncle Ren can't take it for granted, because you haven't learned the Dao Fa." See that sarcophagus! The sarcophagus was rarely used in ancient China. Because it is difficult to make a coffin from a stone. The sarcophagi used in the record are all very powerful characters. And this sarcophagus is engraved with a lot of Taoist symbols. In the middle is a pattern of a Tai Chi yin and yang fish. I guess that the people who used this sarcophagus were Taoists. As for who, I don't know, I don't know what's the use. There is no record in the book who the owner of this tomb is. But you see, this records the route in? What do you do by keeping a route? Just to go back next time. Tomb robbery, you won't go again, you will go a second time. The rules and customs do not allow this. Then it seems that the reason why they want to go in is not to rob the tomb. ”
"What's that for?" I asked. I'm a little confused.
"It's to transport this coffin! The first time I went, there was no way to get the coffin out, so I recorded the route and prepared to transport the coffin the second time. ”
Bao Ye said: "I think so too. ”
"From the chronological point of view, the use of this book should be the years of the Cultural Revolution, 1966 to 1976, if not these years, it is close to these years. At that time, it should have been my grandfather who was in charge of the family. ”
Bao Ye asked, "Yes, uncle, do you think you can get that sarcophagus out with the ability of the Ren family?" ”
"Yes! The Ren family belongs to a private collection, but there are many things that national collections want but can't want. If the Ren family wants it, I think it can be shipped out. ”
"That's right! The time when the large courtyard was built was more than 50 years ago, and the difference between the time when the coffin was transported out is less than a few years. ”
Ren Qiancang frowned: "Do you suspect that this coffin is in the tomb under the big courtyard?" ”
"It's just a suspicion. Give me the notebook, I'll go find a store and scan it later. Then go and ask my master, maybe he will tell me all when he is angry. I have a feeling that if there is really such a sarcophagus down there, the Ren family will not just make such a big tomb to seal it. There must be something special. ”
Ren Qiancang didn't hand the book back to Bao Ye, but handed it to me and said, "Go upstairs and take a picture first." ”
"Hmm." I hurriedly took the book and went upstairs, Bao Ye was stunned for a moment, but he didn't object.
I took the book and looked at the yellowed pages on it, some illegible handwriting. Is this really an ancient tomb? It turns out that tomb robbers are so close to us.
I took a single page of the notebook very carefully, even if I took a few more photos, I had to make sure that I could read the words inside. After that, I returned the book to Bao Ye.
Ren Qiancang went to the Tibetan Museum and took me to the city with him. He was going to look for all the collections that had been in and out of the museum for more than a decade or so, and maybe he could find something else about the tomb.
And I went to Lele. But Lele didn't go to work, it was the little sister who was watching the store. Xiaomei said that Sister Lele and her boyfriend went to see the house together, and they planned to get married next spring. The man's family paid for them to choose a two-bedroom apartment. Listening to these words, I suddenly felt that Lele was so happy. Although I didn't find a rich boyfriend, I was very happy to have a stable family. Sometimes, happiness is as simple as that.
I went to find Lang Feiyi again, and today she was free, so she went to the café with me to sit down. said why his father chose her husband to be forty years old. Ye Yan before, looking young, was actually almost forty years old. Now I chose a real estate owner in Linshi, 42 years old, with a son in high school. When she got married, she was a stepmother to others.
