Chapter III: Major Discoveries

As the candles went out, darkness plunged all around. I stood in the local atmosphere and didn't dare to breathe, and the sound I just made out of nowhere was so frightened that my hairs stood on end.

"It's just me and an alien's corpse in the small room, and I'm standing still, where does the sound and wind come from?" Although frightened, the instinct to protect oneself in danger caused my brain to react quickly, "The only possibility is that it is alive or not dead at all." Maybe now it's standing behind me, waiting for me to turn around, and as soon as I turn around, it bites my throat like a wolf. Thinking like this, I seemed to feel a small cool wind blowing down my neck, "What should I do?" What should I do? It came up and blew out the lights first. Is it like a wild beast that is afraid of fire? Or at least don't like it...... Whether I am afraid or not, I can only see it if there is light. "I touched the lighter with minimal movement," the fire was there. But if you want to escape without getting too hurt, you must have at least a weapon in your hand. I only brought a flashlight with me when I came in, but the flashlight was too small and too light. Flashlight doesn't work...... Stone saucer, right! Stone saucer. I let go of the piece of paper on which my father had written something, and picked up a stone saucer as if I were holding a lighter.

It only took 30 seconds from the time the lights went off until I did it. Now that the fire was there, and the weapons were available, I didn't dare to turn back, so I took a step to the right at great speed, felt my shoulders against the wall, and quickly leaned sideways against the wall. At the same time, he held a lighter in his left hand and a stone saucer in his right hand.

The moment the fire lit up, I saw a man crawling face down on the ground in the doorway. Looks like my mother.

"Mom-" It was really my mother who walked up to her, and she woke up and fainted.

I didn't care about anything else, so I threw down the burning lighter in my hand and dragged my mother to the kang outside. It was almost dark in the room, and I knew it was getting dark. Turning on the electric light and pinching her mother for a while, she let out a sigh of relief and woke up.

"Mom, why did you faint inside? Almost scared the hell out of me! "I saw my mother awake and complained.

When she woke up, her eyes were straight, and it was clear that she had not fully recovered her senses. After a while, she sat up straight from my arms and looked at the hole leading to the black hole in the secret room on the kang: "What's going on?" ”

"I found a secret room down there."

"You were down there just now?"

"Yes!"

"I called you, why didn't you agree?"

"You called me? I didn't hear it at all! ”

"I've come back from work, and I can't find you anywhere. When he saw that the door of the house was open, he came in and looked. Seeing the hole on the kang, I climbed up and saw a faint light inside, so I shouted twice, but there was no response. I wanted to go in and have a look, and when I saw the black rumbling, I was about to go to the house to get a flashlight, but I didn't expect to fall in as soon as I stood up and my eyes were dark, and I was dizzy. ”

After listening to my mother, I sat on the kang with my buttocks, and I had no strength at all because of a false alarm and dragging my mother up and tossing.

"When did we have such a hole in our house? Is it big down? What's there? At this time, the mother came to her senses, "Do you have a flashlight?" I'll go down and take a look. ”

Then I remembered what my father had written on the piece of paper, but I hadn't read it, and at the same time I was afraid that the alien corpse would scare my mother, so I said, "I didn't put anything down, but there was an earthen platform with half a candle and a piece of paper on it." It seems to have my father's handwriting on the paper, and before I could read what it was, you ......."

"It's paper, take it out and take a look."

"It's still down there, I'll get it." With that, I rolled over and got up, jumped into the ramp under the hole, and got into it with my waist bent.

After a while, I climbed up. The two looked at the paper in the light. The handwriting on it is not legible, but it is not difficult to read.

When I finished reading it, I found that what was written on the paper turned out to be something unusual that my father had experienced before he disappeared. Since my father's words were too brief in some parts and too cumbersome in others, I compiled what he had written down and some things my mother told me, and the whole story was roughly as follows:

Two generations of the family died in this way, and it is possible that he will die like this, and my father Zheng Sanjin is upset. A few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and when he has completely lost confidence in finding the truth, he did not expect that by chance, he made a major discovery.

Counting the time, it was the year I was admitted to university.

The son was admitted to college, and the father was happy, but he was not happy for long, and his son's tuition made him worried. Life is a little better now than in previous years, but it is not something that people like us can afford to ask for so much money all at once. If you can't take it out, you can't take it out, and your son can't be stopped because he can't pay the tuition. So my father wiped his face and borrowed some from relatives and friends, and the family sold grain, pigs, and so on, and there was still a gap of more than a thousand when they got together.

"Where are you going?" He thought about it, lost a handful of his hair, and thought of going to the credit union to take out a loan.

At that time, the credit union was really anxious for the people's urgency, unlike now, the richer the people can borrow, and the less money people can't borrow...... Without further ado, I said that my father arrived at the credit union at noon, and the people from the credit union gathered around a table outside the stove room for lunch.

Everyone is in a village on weekdays, and they all know everyone who looks up and doesn't look down. The director of the credit union is surnamed Li, and he is white and chubby. When he saw my father Zheng Sanjin enter the door, he knew what he was doing here, put down the bowl and said, "Sanjin, congratulations!" ”

My father grinned, "What to congratulate, I'm dying of sorrow." ”

"Haha...... Since ancient times, I have never heard of the champion Lao Tzu worrying to death! Director Li joked.

Everyone at the table laughed. My father laughed too.

"You're here for a loan, aren't you!? How much is the difference between my son's tuition fees? ”

Director Li spoke about this first, and my father knew that there was a door, and said excitedly: "It's still ...... A little over a thousand. ”

"That's a lot!"

Hearing Director Li say this, my father thought that he couldn't get a loan, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Director Li then said, "You wait for a while, and wait for us to eat...... Have you eaten it? Eat some together. ”

"I've eaten, I've eaten."

My father was standing at the dinner table waiting, Director Li felt uncomfortable, and said to a young man beside him, "Xiao Wu, take your Uncle Zheng to the room over there to sit for a while." ”

Xiao Wu put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and walked out. My father followed him out the door.

"Turn on the TV for him." Director Li shouted through the curtain.

"Got it."

At that time, not every household in the village had a television set. People from the village also come to see it in the evening. When there are many people, it is black and pressed, like a fair.

Xiao Wu turned on the TV, went back to the stove room and went to eat. My father sat alone in a huge room watching TV. In order for everyone to see when watching TV, the TV set is placed on a high wooden shelf. So my father tilted his head and watched TV like he was looking at the stars in the sky.

After watching TV for a while, my father's neck was tired, and when he moved his neck, he saw a few villain books on the windowsill on the left side of the TV shelf, so he walked over to look at them. flipped through the two or three copies of "Huo Yuanjia" he had read, and there was also a book without a cover, which was much larger than the villain's book, but it was thin and did not have many pages. He took it and sat on the chair and flipped through it. Flipping through the photos above, one of them caught his attention. The photo shows two plates stacked on top of each other as round as a stone with a small hole in the middle.

"Why is it so familiar? Where have I seen ......" Suddenly my father remembered two stones that had been handed down from the family.

Seeing that the two stones in the photo were the same as the stones at home, my father carefully looked at the text entitled "Chinese Duliba Stone Saucer" on the side of the photo. It really made him more and more shocked the more he looked at it: the two stones in the house turned out to be Duliba stone plates!

After reading a short text, my father couldn't calm down, and a series of questions surged in his mind: Could it be that grandpa and father became like that had something to do with the stone saucer at home? Could it be that the stone saucer was really left by aliens? Don't......

Knowing that the two stones in the house were Duliba stone butterflies, and when I came back from the credit union, my father wanted to study it carefully to see if he could find any clues, but he couldn't find it when the house was turned inside and out.

"Fuck! usually stumbles, and I can't find it at a critical moment. "He was a little angry.

When the family saw him rummaging around in the courtyard of the house, they asked him what he was looking for. He didn't want us to know, and he said he wasn't looking for anything, which made us baffled.

After lying down at night, he did not give up, carefully recalled where the stone dish was placed, and for a while remembered the edge of the chicken coop, and came down to look for it, and then remembered that it was in the water tank, and came down to look for it...... After tossing back and forth four or five times, my mother asked him what he was looking for and didn't say anything, and she got angry and scolded him before she stopped.

For the next few days, my father searched for it at home every day when he was free, and when it was time for me to go to school, he couldn't find it. I really don't know if they ran away on their own legs, or if aliens came to pick them up.

I was admitted to Shanxi University. On the first day of school, my father sent me to Taiyuan. After completing the enrollment procedures, it was not too early, so I asked him to stay for a night and then come back. He insisted on leaving, and I had no choice but to accompany him to the bus stop sign and watch him get on the bus to the train station before returning to school.

Little did I know at the time that my father was in a hurry to leave not to return home at all, but to learn more about the Duliba Stone Saucer. It was inconvenient in the village, and he finally came to the provincial capital, how could he take such a good opportunity. So, he inquired and came to Xinhua Bookstore. Since he was reluctant to spend money on books (and had no money to buy them), he could only read them inside. There is no clear goal, and there are a lot of books about historical mysteries, aliens, etc. He watched it for three days, opening the door with the bookstore staff every morning and closing the door with the staff at night. Sleeping on a bench outside the bookstore at night. When you are hungry, you eat dry food, and when you are thirsty, you climb on the faucet and drink cold water.

Three days passed, and my father read all the books in the bookstore that he thought would be very rewarding, only to realize that all the mysteries of history were unsolved, and all the aliens were.

I was full of confidence when I came, and I was disheartened when I came back!
