Twenty-six, strange lines

I saw the lines on this floor, that is to say, the cracks on the floor and the floor are not one by one, but intricate, not as good as a mess to describe the apt, some of them are vertical, some are horizontal, the lines are completely unlimited, fortunately I am not a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise I might as well die in this place.

"Why are you still here?" That's when I heard Master Rib's voice.

"Are you done?"

"I didn't have anything I wanted, but I just flipped through it, and most of the things here were taken." Master Rib didn't know where to find a pen to write on the wall.

You're really convenient, this house doesn't need to be like this, right? I despise him a little bit in my heart.

"What did you find here?"

"I didn't find anything, it's just that the floor here is wrong, have you looked carefully at what is underneath?" I reminded him.

Master Libu nodded unexpectedly, then pulled the little duo over directly, asked him to act as a translator, and then said to me, "The floor here is really not quite right, it was like this when my uncle was decorating, the lines of the floor are very messy, it seems that it is necessary to smear, otherwise you think there will be such thick lines?" ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, my uncle is an obsessive-compulsive patient, he is strict with everything, not so much obsessive-compulsive as a perfectionist. So on the one hand, he was waiting for my brother to come back, and on the other hand, he had a hard time teaching a student who had entered the interior, so this place was a mystery that we had not solved. ”

"Does your aunt know about this?"

"The floor of the house was renovated by my uncle, the house is handed down by the older generation, but it has been renovated and renovated continuously, and the firewood house behind the house still has a passage to walk through, but unfortunately the material was not enough to be demolished in the end."

"Not enough materials?" I'm a little confused.

"My uncle said that this house must be built within that period of time, otherwise." Master Rib stopped talking.

"What do you think of?" I waved my hand in front of him, "You're all right." ”

He didn't answer, slapped my hand open, sat down on the floor in vain, and seemed to be thinking about something. He must have thought of something, these things seemed to have some kind of influence on him or this matter, I didn't interrupt his thoughts but thought about it myself, this house is very strange, I don't rule out the possibility that there are things in it, and this house is still lived in by Aquribu, did he choose the room or was this house originally reserved for him? I don't know, but the only thing I know for sure is that a perfectionist wouldn't let a house like this exist, at least the floors should be lined up.

I leaned against the wooden wall, a slight cold feeling did not enter the back of my neck, closed my eyes and there were too many doubts in my head, I had to eliminate some distractions, the floor style was square, I opened my eyes, and saw that there were many gaps on the four sides of those square planks, but the small gaps were not enough to form lines, so one side of the four sides of those planks was painted with black paint, which caused the lines to be unusually heavy.

There's a reason, I look at the messy lines, some of them overlap in some places, some of them never seem to intersect, and so on, and all of a sudden, I seem to notice something, I stand up, I stand up, I see that it's a puzzle, yes, it's a puzzle, it's the simplest puzzle. It's just pure lines.

"It's a puzzle."

"Right, left, left, left, left."

Master Ribu and I said at the same time, and we were stunned for a while, and then I gradually realized that this place really seemed to be a little different.

"You can have Chinese."

"Yes, this sentence is a sentence that my uncle often hangs on his lips." Xiao Duo translated to me.

"Right, left, left, left, left?" I muttered, and after thinking for a long time, I didn't come up with anything, and then I said to them, "Do you want a puzzle in this place?" ”

"Puzzles?"

"yes, have you ever thought that if you could put these lines together, you might be able to get a pattern?" I stood on the bed and spread my hands here and planned, "Maybe it is, you can get an unexpected result." ”

"But there's one thing you haven't thought about." The little duo said to me, "If it's a puzzle, I've played it too, but the puzzle has a gap!" How do you move the planks if they don't have a notch? ”

Hearing this Master Libu muffled, he walked to the corner of the wall and snapped, a wooden board was pierced, and I looked at the empty floor for a little bit, could this really be a puzzle.

"How do you know where to go?" I asked, a little curious.

"I lived here for a day, that is, the first day of the renovation, that day my cousin didn't dare to live alone, so I came to accompany him, that day we were fooling around in the house, this piece of wood was stepped on at once, at that time I was frightened, I didn't dare to tell my uncle, plus I found that the plank is actually good, but it just sank, so we put the plank back privately."

"I see, so your brother should know about it too? So what about the last time he came back? ”

"If it's really him. No, I'm saying that if he really is your brother and there is no one to replace him, do you say that this place has also been discovered by him. ”

“。” He listened to my words, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly changed the conversation, "I have one more thing, in fact, I don't know if there is no need to say, my uncle didn't dare to die that day to arrange the floor of the house, we have always been very curious, until a week later, those outsiders came to us and handed my uncle a photo." ”

Then Master Libu recalled the original scene again, as if it was his nightmare, and he kept talking about the situation, many of which I had basically heard once, but I could not interrupt his sadness, but I was quietly thinking about what was worth attracting so many people here, and what was there in this room worthy of their protection. And how did his uncle know that someone was going to be here, and that the news had leaked?

If that's the case, I'm willing to make a guess about this:

They coveted something that has been the guardian of this place for generations, and this thing has never been known to outsiders, but one day the first explorers broke into it and took a set of photos, and then this set of photos leaked out without strict encryption, and it was known by another group of people, and they came here to threaten his uncle, but his uncle knew about it in advance and saved Dongzang, this thing we never know, but I can be sure that it is not a temple, nor is it a statue, It must have been something else, or he wouldn't have preserved it so well.

I held my chin and watched the little flower fiddle with the planks, and it seemed to be really playful. I ignored the previous thoughts and thought, "So is it going to be like the plot in the movie?" ”

"No!" A voice interrupted my thoughts, and I looked at the patchwork of things and became speechless.

"Is the bed board taking up space? Let's go and lift the bed. ”

"No, it's not." He exclaimed, "What's going on with this thing?" ”

"Damn, didn't you say you've been playing with this stuff since you were a kid?"

"Get rid of it, I just said I played it when I was a kid, didn't I say I started playing it since I was a child, right?"

"That."

"Right, left, left, left, left."

"Right, left, left, left, left, right, hey, Master Libu, don't make such a joke."

"You try." He said to me.

Then after a while, we saw something like a map of the distribution of rivers in front of us, and we moved the bed to the side, looked at the devastated inner room, and then looked at the patchwork map, and suddenly felt that our minds were blank, and there was only one thought that crossed each of our minds: "If the place where the beginning is the river basin, then there is no river exchange from the beginning to the end." ”

"It's boring." I said a little angrily.

"Isn't it?"

And Master Libu didn't speak for a while, he even thought that after we arranged the order of the floor, there would be an entrance to a secret room, or a treasure box or something, but the reality was even more cruel This is a puzzle, a boring masterpiece, nothing more.

"Forget it, let's go to the small house in the back, where the storage room was originally remodeled with the floor of this room, I hope there are some clues."
