Chapter 2: Dark Grid
It was not Jiang Yuan lying on the hospital bed, but Zhang Yang.
This young man, although I have only met him twice, he has a very deep impression on me, not only because of his characteristic, but also because of his smile, his face always has a smile that controls everything in the world, and his calm and sophisticated self-confidence is in stark contrast to his age, so it is no wonder that Jiang Yuan said that he has the title of smiling Yama on the road.
At this time, he was lying on the hospital bed very quietly, as if he was asleep, I was a little hesitant to wake him up, but when I thought of the strange situation in the hospital now, I suddenly felt that this thing was very strange, just when I was thinking about it, Zhang Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a weird smile, "Boss Xiao, long time no see." ”
I took two steps back and pressed my hand to the holster of the gun at my waist, the safety clasp already open.
"Boss Zhang? How are you? I asked him.
Zhang Yang put his hands on the back of his head, and lay there lazily looking at me, "Are you afraid?" ”
I snorted disdainfully, "This is not called fear, this is called caution." ”
Zhang Yang took out an envelope from under his pillow and threw it to me, "Jiang Yuan has been sent to where he should be by me, and this is what he gave you." ”
After that, he sat up and looked at me very seriously with a very strange look, "Actually, I'm curious, that kid Jiang Yuan was also using you at the beginning, but in the end, not only did you not blame him, but you would save him, is it really like he said, you are a person who has no hatred in your heart, and you are a good friend worth making?" ”
When I opened the envelope, there were only two words on it, "Goodbye".
I took out a lighter and burned the letter and envelope, and sat on the hospital bed near the door, "You said that he was using me, but do you know it, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't know that the Xiao family's secret had been leaked, so this person can't just look at things on the surface, not to mention, he himself is a pawn who has been calculated." ”
Zhang Yang still looked at me with a smile after hearing this, and I also looked at him, both sides are observing each other's hearts, who can win, it depends on whose psychological quality is excellent.
The door opened, and a nurse-like person came in, he handed Zhang Yang a mobile phone, and after turning on the speakerphone, a woman's voice came from the other party, "Boss, it's all ready, and you can go at any time." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Yang pulled out a travel bag from the thick quilt and threw it to me, "Do you want to do it yourself, see you at seven o'clock tomorrow night, Yunwu Villa." ”
After he finished speaking, he still looked at me with a smile, and then jumped with the female nurse, and actually went out of the window, this is the eighteenth floor.
I sat in the hospital room and looked at the backpack in front of me, and when I opened it, there was some change of clothes and some electronic devices, and in addition, there was a letter, and I hadn't seen the words on the envelope for a long time.
That's my uncle's handwriting, a very beautiful thin gold body.
"Fangzi, when you read this letter, the uncle may no longer be in this world, I remember when I was a child, you often asked me why I didn't take you back to the Xiao family to live, now you should have understood, since you were a child, to hide from you, to keep you away from the Xiao family, just to protect you, so that you can live a normal life, but the Xiao family is thin, can no longer protect you, the uncle and your aunt are already on the way, can't go back, the rest of the things depend on you, we have helped you remove the obstacles ahead, the rest of the uncle believes, You can definitely deal with it, trust them, they will help you, remember, you must send the Yellow Spring Sacrifice back to the underworld, and you can't let it reappear in the world. ”
I burned the letter and watched the orange flames disappear little by little, and my heart grew heavier and heavier.
That night, I drove back to the Xiao family's mansion, the fallen leaves at the gate were already fist-thick, I parked the car at the door at will, gently pushed open the door, the door was not locked, after opening the door, a cold wind came instantly, and the hairs stood up.
The small English-style bungalows built in the middle of the last century look even more mysterious in the bright moonlight.
The mailbox at the door was stuffed with all kinds of letters and newspapers, and the kennel next to it was empty.
I was about to open the door with the key, when I suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass, I cautiously leaned over to take a look, and before I could see what it was, I saw a dark figure coming out of it, and it stopped not far from me and was looking at me.
I crouched down and clapped my hands, "Aaron, come here." ”
Aaron probably recognized my voice, smelled my clothes and shoes, and suddenly barked at me.
I thought it was strange, so I followed it all the way through the little garden, and at a corner of the back door, Aaron barked at me a few more times, then gouged with his paws, and then turned to me a few more times.
"Are you asking me to dig this hole for you?"
"Woohoo."
Damn, I really understand.
I found a handy guy from my backpack, and after a few digging, I found that the soil under the ground was very loose, and there was a terrible smell of almonds, I was worried about some poisonous gas, and I covered my nose a little farther, as soon as I left, Aaron continued to scream, as if to say to continue digging.
I found a mask to put on, returned to the position just now and continued to dig, digging repeatedly for about ten minutes, and a large pit one meter square appeared, but there was nothing in it.
"Dude, you just kid me when I came back, don't you?"
"Wangwang"
Aaron jumped into the pit and continued to gouge with his paws, as if there was really something underneath, and I sat on the ground and watched it keep digging the soil with its paws, and it didn't look like a dog playing willfully, as if something was really wrong.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it."
Aaron obediently lay on the side and watched me, I dug with a shovel for a while, and now, I really dug something.
An iron box, after opening, is the corpse of a dog, looking at the degree of decay should have been a month, but the corpse has been treated, there is no insect repellent on it, and it is basically preserved.
I covered my nose, but a few tears fell, and looked up at Aaron, "You want to see it, don't you?" ”
Aaron didn't scream, just whined a few times, then lay on the ground, exposing his belly, and barked at me a few times.
I thought it was because it had an upset stomach, and I didn't find anything unusual when I touched it, but Aaron still yelled at me, and I suddenly thought of something, dug out the whole suitcase with a shovel, and then carried it back to the room with Aaron.
The attic on the third floor is where I came back to stay, so everything here is very familiar to me, I turned on the light and put the iron box on the coffee table, Ah Long immediately jumped on the coffee table and circled around the iron box, I saw it clearly from the side, it actually cried.
The dog in the tin box was bought by my uncle when he was a month old, and he was ten years old.
I turned the dog's carcass upside down, and I noticed that there seemed to be something in the dog's belly, and Aaron next to me was barking at me at this time, as if he had found something.
I touched it with my hand, and there was something completely different from the bones besides the bones, but I was afraid that I would have to take it out to find out.
Since the corpse was already decomposed, I easily found the foreign object with two fingers through the rib part, and when I took it out, it was actually a bronze key.
When Aaron saw the key, he was so excited that he jumped onto the couch, looked up at the ceiling, and kept screaming, as if to say that there was something on it.
I buried the iron box back in its previous position, covered it up, and then got some fallen leaves on it to hide people's eyes.
When I got back to the room, Aaron was gone, and I looked around for him, only to find a note behind the couch, "What a smart dog, I'll take it first." ”
