Chapter 11 From Lop Nur
After some hard fighting, Sun Yan finally decided to open it and take a look, even if it was a prank, he wanted to see for himself what was inside.
Determined, he walked briskly back to his bedroom and opened the small drawer of the bedside desk. The drawer was usually locked, but there were nothing important in it, a junior high school diary, a college acceptance letter, two lighters, and then the email.
He took out the mail package, and his eyes quickly scanned it, sender: Sun Qijun, mailing address: Lop Nur Abutan Village. Signatory; Sun Yan.
Seeing these two words again, Sun Yan almost vomited blood, he didn't remember when he signed this email, sleepwalking? Unlikely. But he remembers that once in high school, when he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he put the bedside radio into the closet in the living room, and the next day he searched everywhere but couldn't find it, and then two days later, a picture of getting out of bed in the middle of the night suddenly flashed in his mind, and he opened the closet in the living room to see that the radio was really there, and it was tightly hidden in the cracks of a pile of clothes.
Is this supposed to be an autonomous activity in light sleep? However, Sun Yan was not impressed at all about signing the email.
When he opened the email, Sun Yan found that there were several photos inside, and counted them, a total of five. Four of them are blurry, but you can see the back of a man walking naked and groping in a dark place. The photograph looks like it is in a cave, and the bright light from outside the cave comes in, forming particularly bright spots of light in one or two places in the photo. The first four photos are clearly from behind. The fifth photo is extremely strong, obviously overexposed, and a man's enlarged face and an unusually frightened expression in the photo look at Sun Yan.
The man's cheekbones were high, his cheeks were sunken, his face was full of stubble, and his frightened pupils shrank into two beans in the bright light. Sun Yan's heart was cold, the man's face looked unusually old, his messy hair was long and his shawl was long, both his face and this photo gave the person who looked at it a sense of over-amplification of the paleness. This is Sun Qijun? His uncle? Someone who has been missing for twenty-two years?
But what surprised Sun Yan was not this, but the other face in the photo, should it be said to be a face or what? Because the light was extremely unclear, Sun Yan only felt that it was a melon-shaped dough, behind the man's right shoulder, miserable white.
Sun Yan unconsciously shivered, and in the summer, he felt cold again. He was horrified by the look on the melon-shaped face. reminded him of that oil painting by Edvard Munch, shout. The face of the man in the scream is attached to this photo like a sticker, simple but distorted, and the mouth that is twisted into an O-shape seems to shout to the man: There is someone behind!
Then there is the hand that rests on the man's right shoulder, which is smaller, more tender, and whiter than a baby's hand. It's just that the fingers are not completely separated, and the skin is attached, like the claws of a frog, can this be said to be a human hand? However, Sun Yan did see that it had five fingers, as well as nails.
What is it? An unfully evolved ape-man? Amphibians in Lop Nur? It looked like it was hanging face back on the man's chest. Sun Yan took a closer look at the first four photos, although they were very blurry, it seemed that there was indeed a blurry shadow on the man's chest, which was very small.
Sun Yan took the five photos and looked at them, and he suddenly realized that this might not be a simple prank. He opened the paper bag again and found that in addition to the photo, there was a piece of paper inside!
He hurriedly pulled out the paper, the paper was folded in half twice and stuffed into the innermost, and in the process of opening, Sun Yan found that his hands were shaking involuntarily.
On paper, there are only a few simple lines of words.
In 2008. I can't remember the months anymore. Came out with it today and it seemed happy and spent half an hour changing teeth at Z. After that, it got sexual/and wrapped it around my neck. Unfortunately, I found them again, entangled for a few months, and the most painful thing for me, among them, I found my wife Mei Fang, still so beautiful, she didn't even die, did she really come to kill me?
And then a few lines apart there is another sentence: I can't give it to them, when winter comes.
What is it? Sun Yan read it several times, but he didn't understand. So what is it? Is it that horrible amphibian in the photo?! What does it mean when winter comes?
And Mei Fang, her aunt, the woman who was stabbed in the stomach by robbers in Ruoqiang County 22 years ago?
Sun Yan only felt a mess in his head, and he rubbed the cold sweat in his palm against his pants. Paper is a very ordinary letter paper, except that the words don't seem to be written, these words are crooked, as if carved on the wall, and later printed on the paper one by one with black ink, because the size of the words is very large, and the places where the words on the letter paper are potholed. Smelled it, and there was a stench.
Sun Yan checked the paper bag again and again, and found that there was nothing left. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, there are a lot of mysteries on the photos and stationery now, but the most critical issue is that he wants to know who the man in the photo is, whether it is Sun Qijun or someone else.
If it was really Sun Qijun, it would be a bit unreasonable to take a few frightened photos of himself and send them home. Could it be that the letter said "they" sent it? But what do "they" represent? Person? Animal? Or is it a cosmic creature?
Looking at the photo, Sun Yan once again declared that he really had no impression of this uncle, and such an old and terrifying face could not be seen to be any similar to himself. Ask Sun Qixiang, he will definitely be able to recognize his own brother at first sight, no matter what he becomes. Sun Yan stood up with the photo. When I thought about it, no, I can't show him, I don't know anything now, but after showing him, things are over.
That's right, look for photos. He hurriedly came to Sun Qixiang and Chen Shuyan's bedroom, rummaged through the cabinets, turned out all the photo albums at home, and looked for them one by one. Fortunately, there are many photos at home that are piled up into a hill, and there are a lot of old photos, there are more than a dozen photos taken by the three brothers together, father, third uncle, and uncle?
Judging from these photos, Sun Qijun has a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and exudes a literary crepe atmosphere. Also, the cheekbones are not as high as in this photo, and it is clear that the face is distorted by overexposure. However, after checking the photos one by one, Sun Yan could only say, like! I can't say that it is ten out of ten, but it is enough to be seven points like.
Sun Yan banged in his head, could this really be Sun Qijun? I sent an email from Lop Nur, inexplicable content, what do you want to explain?
"What are you doing?"
Sun Yan shivered, turned his head in a panic, and saw Chen Shuyan standing at the door of the room with a surprised expression.
"What's going on? Why do you turn all the photos out? Chen Shuyan walked over with a frown, squatted down, and wanted to tidy up.
"Hey, I have nothing to do, so I'll dig out the old photos and take a look." Sun Yan inserted that photo into the other photos, then picked them all up, got up and was about to walk out.
"What are you hiding?" Chen Shuyan asked coldly.
Sun Yan stopped at his feet, pretending to be annoyed and said, "What can I hide!" I can't look at the previous photos! ”
"Look at it, you're angry! Is there a picture of your girlfriend hidden? Chen Shuyan turned his head with a wicked smile, "Quick!" Show Mom! ”
"Spare me!" Sun Yan didn't look back, walked briskly back to his room, and quickly stuffed all the photos and letters into the mail bag, and then locked them in a drawer.
