Chapter 47: There is a secret in the bamboo forest
"Ahh I screamed, looking away, not daring to look at her, only my own screams.
There was no attack I expected, no pain. I gradually stabilized my emotions, and then slowly looked at her. There was no ghost outside the living room door, the incense burner fell to the ground. The lid was thrown aside, and the incense from the stove was spilled.
The pet cat made a high-pitched meow in the yard. If it weren't for the corpse of my little black cat on the couch, I might have thought that it was just my own eyes.
My heart was still pounding, and I slowly walked to the little black cat, and tears couldn't help but fall. This kitten has been with me for a long time, and he is always so well-behaved. Why are you dying like this now? If we had kept it with us for a few days, would it not have happened?
My heart sank, and tears had melted my eyes. Holding the body of the little black cat, its head was unnaturally tilted to the side.
Ren Qiancang and Bao Ye ran in at this time. Ren Qiancang hurriedly hugged me and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”
I didn't answer me, just kept watching the little black cat cry. Ren Qiancang said in a low voice: "We can bury it." Make a grave for it. ”
"It died because of me. In the past, the little black cat would hide whenever it was in danger. And it runs so fast, even Xu Xin shouldn't be able to catch it. ”
Bao Ye said outside the door: "Ghosts don't go to catch cats." Unless the cat goes to die on its own. ”
When I said this to him, I cried even louder: "It must have prevented Xu Xin from coming in, so it was caught by Xu Xin." Ren Qiancang, the kitten died. ”
"Well, okay, stop crying." He whispered, kissing my hair.
"Where's Xu Xin?" I wiped away my tears and calmed myself down.
Ren Qiancang said: "Bao Ye caught her." When we came in, she was injured and ready to leave. You smashed that incense burner? ”
I looked outside the living room door, and Bao Ye was squatting on the ground, holding the incense burner and studying. I just wanted to go, Ren Qiancang said that the incense burner is the only ancient piece in this courtyard. But that's it, and I smashed it out like a brick. I quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I was ......"
"I didn't blame you. Merchant, you are very capable. It's a lot more capable than I thought it would be. "He hugged me tightly." You don't know how worried I was when I felt Xu Xin here. Hearing your voice, how I hate myself for leaving you here alone. ”
Outside the door, Bao Ye walked in with the incense burner and said, "This kind of evil spirit-warding incense burner is rare now. It was even possible to make Xu Xin hurt. I think this incense burner should have been placed in the temple to make offerings. Uncle Ren can take this to auction. ”
Hearing him say this, I became even more anxious: "I didn't know that this incense burner was so valuable, otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown it out." ”
"Shangshang," Ren Qiancang shouted, "I don't blame you. You are the wife of the Ren family, and everything in the Ren family is yours. As long as you want, you can smash all the things in the study. ”
I looked at him stunned. I never thought I would have such a right. In this big yard, I will be very careful about not a single thing here, for fear of breaking them. Since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have been told by others, an orphan like me, I can't afford to pay for it.
"I won't, that's the Ren family."
"The Ren family has no descendants, businessmen. You can spend your whole life with me, and when you are old and gone, all these things will become our funeral and move to our tomb. ”
My heart was full of emotion, and at this time, Bao Ye sat beside me, pinched the little black cat's ears and hung it up, and said, "In the middle of the night, I really want to sleep." This one, although it was brought by my mother-in-law's family. But can you do me a favor? Bury it. I think it's better to bury it in the bamboo forest behind your house, so maybe it will become a fine after a while. ”
In this kind of mood, only he will be so disturbing. Ren Qiancang said angrily: "You deal with Xu Xin!" ”
Bao Ye nodded, and then left our yard. Under my puzzled gaze, Ren Qiancang said: "Xu Xin was caught by Bao Ye and was injured, so leave it to Bao Ye to deal with." ”
Looking at the kitten's corpse on the table, I said, "Let's go and bury it." "If something like this happens, we can't fall asleep, so we just go to the bamboo forest in the back.
Ren Qiancang did not refuse my proposal, and there are not many people in the house now, there are only a few people in such a large yard, we took a flashlight and a cloth bag, took a hoe in the kitchen, and went to the yard from the back door. It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the full moon in the sky was bright, shining on the dilapidated basketball court and the bamboo forest behind it.
Ren Qiancang led me carefully in the bamboo forest, looking for a suitable place to bury the little black cat. Ren Qiancang finally chose a big bamboo. He said that if there are no small bamboos next to this kind of big bamboo, bamboo shoots will not grow. In this way, it will be safer for the kitten to be buried here.
I knelt on the ground and covered the little black cat with dirt. The pet cat appeared next to us at some point, and was digging the dirt into the pit. It must have felt very uncomfortable in its heart, too.
On the way back, I asked Xu Xin what she would do. Ren Qiancang said that with the meaning of Bao Ye, it was sealed in the tablet and sent directly to the temple to be exceeded. I uh, I hope Xu Xin doesn't show up again. Every time she appears, it means danger is coming. And now that her head has sunk into the well, she doesn't know what will happen next.
At this time, Ren Qiancang suddenly turned off the flashlight and pulled me to squat behind a big stone next to the bamboo. I was about to ask what was wrong, when his finger touched my lips. Motioned for me to look over there.
Although there is no light from the flashlight, relying on the light of the bright moon in the sky, we can still see clearly the person walking over there, and he is actually in the same direction as them. If it weren't for Ren Qiancang's cat-like hearing, we might not have been able to hide it first.
The man grew closer, closer. He can already be seen. He is Wu Guang. Wu Guang gasped and moved his mouth, but the voice did not come out, and we could not hear what he said. He won't let his voice come out even if he complains, and it can be seen that he is a very cautious person.
For a while, we could only hear Wu Guang's footsteps on the bamboo leaves, and it wasn't until the footsteps jumped past us and walked towards the big courtyard that we made a new discovery.
On Wu Guang's back, the gray Tang costume was stained with some very strange soil. It must have been something he had carried on his back before.
Waiting for Wu Guang's voice to disappear completely, it is estimated that he has already walked into the big courtyard, Ren Qiancang said: "Go!" Go check out where he just came! ”
But we had only walked a few steps before he stopped again, and I whispered, "What's wrong?" On Wu Guang's back, there are obvious traces of what he was carrying before. He must have put something over there. ”
"It's Xu Xin's body, and I can smell the smell of fertilizer from the orchard coming from him. At this time, he deliberately brought the corpse over, and cut off his head and threw it into the well, and the body was somewhere else. There's definitely a connection. If Wu Guang just wanted to dispose of the corpse, he could just ignore it. He's so bothered to do it, maybe there's some reason we don't know. Let's wait for Bao Ye to come over and take a look. ”
"And now?" I asked.
He reached over and wiped my cheek. I don't know when my face was covered with mud. "Now go back to sleep," he said. You see you can't hold it anymore. ”
I wiped my cheeks and pulled out my phone to check the time. Before you know it, it's already past three o'clock. Looking at the direction where Wu Guang came just now, although he was a little unwilling, he still agreed with Ren Qiancang's decision, and now go back to rest first.
Originally, I thought that I would wait for dawn to wake up, so I went to find Bao Ye and followed him to the bamboo forest behind to have a look. But I didn't expect that when I woke up, it was already 11 o'clock at noon. And it was the aunt from the kitchen who brought lunch and called me, and I woke up.
Ren Qiancang is no longer at home. When he got up to eat and called Bao Ye, Bao Ye was already babbling in the school, and his classmates' voices could still be heard in the background.
I saw that this was not suitable for talking, so I directly asked him to have dinner in the Tibetan Museum at night, and I could also call Ren Qiancang by the way. As soon as I heard that I was going to the Tibetan Museum, Bao Ye called out, and many classmates said that they wanted to go together. After all, a place like the Tibetan Museum, they are very eager to study archaeology.
Bao Ye didn't understand what I meant, so he said directly: "Okay, auntie." There are four of us here, and you have to ask Uncle Ren to prepare our meals. We don't have to eat anything good, just a working meal in the library. ”
When Bao Ye said this, he was still shouting so loudly, I couldn't agree. Although my heart is full of what happened last night, it is not convenient to say it right away.
After tidying up, I will go out of the big yard, and I will feel very uncomfortable to stay here. Today, the people in the big yard have no holidays, and you can see people in a few steps, and the security guards are busy. Just as I was exiting the gate of the large courtyard, I happened to see a familiar van driving from the other side of the road, and it happened to be parked in the parking lot. That was Wu Guang's car.
When I saw the car, I was so nervous that my feet were messed up. But I still had to feign my composure and watch him come over.
