Chapter 1 A New Beginning

Early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was sleeping soundly under the covers when my mobile phone rang.

I didn't even open my eyes, I grabbed it in a daze, pressed it, and put it next to my ear, "Hey..."

"Ah Leng Ah Leng!"

Xiaoqing's loud voice came from the phone, and I couldn't help frowning, "It's me, what's the matter..."

"You're still sleeping, aren't you?"

"Nonsense, what else can I do if I don't sleep so early?"

"Hey, hey..."

"Don't hehe, what the hell is going on, say it quickly, don't say I'm hanging..."

"Hey, don't hang up, don't hang up, don't sleep, come on, my dad is okay, he wants to see you! …”

I suddenly lost my sleepiness, got dressed in twos and threes, and got out of bed. Yuxin and Morning Star were in the dark room, and the two of them were still asleep, so I didn't call them. Master has been in retreat since yesterday afternoon, and he eats and lives in the backyard. Uncle Yang spent the New Year at Xiaoqing's house. Xiang Feng had already gotten up and was practicing in the yard.

"Do you want to go?" I asked.

Xiang Feng stared at the branches that probed into the courtyard wall and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I won't go, Old Man Yang should be grateful in person." As for the questions that bothered us before, it's up to you to ask, you are better at speaking than me..."

"Well, you're pretty lazy," I shrugged.

Xiang Feng looked at me.

"Teasing you," I laughed, "practice your skills, and don't forget to feed my fox..."

"Do you need me to feed me?" Xiang Feng smiled, "With your two beauties here, how can the little fox be hungry?" ”

"Heh... Your mouth is oily..."

As soon as I stretched out my fist, I reacted very quickly to the wind, and my body was quite agile, and my foot moved to a distance of two meters.

"What are you hiding, I'm not going to use force with you, I mean, be careful that I find you a lot of beauties when the time comes, one by one like a little parrot, twittering, pestering you every day."

"Okay, I can't fight you, admit defeat, go and do your business, Master Leng..."

"Haha..."

When I came to Xiaoqingjia County, it was already bright, but most of the residents had not yet gotten up, quietly, and there were shredded firecracker skins everywhere.

The door of Xiaoqing's house was open, I parked the car outside, got out of the car, and walked in with my feet up. In the courtyard, there was a big snowdrift standing in the corner of the wall, white, three leftover incense sticks were inserted on the top of the snowdrift, and a bowl was placed next to the incense, and in the bowl was a piece of frozen hard tribute meat.

Mr. Yang had moved from the old house to the main house, the air conditioning in the room was very warm, and when I entered, he was sitting on the edge of the bed in his pajamas, holding a small teapot in his hand. Although he is still very thin, his face looks much more ruddy, and he is also in good spirits, and his black and white hair is neatly combed.

"You're alone?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Hmm."

"Why don't you call Master Zhang and Ah Feng as well, you stinky little cold..."

Before Xiaoqing finished speaking, she was interrupted by Old Man Yang, "What a stinky little cold!" ”

Xiaoqing and I were both startled, although this old man Yang is thin and seems to be able to be pushed down with a slight push, his voice is really not small. It seems that Haruko's big voice was inherited by her father.

"Master Leng, I'm sorry, I was supposed to go over to see you, but I'm like this now, I can't go out at all, so I have to let you come over, Master Leng..."

Old Man Yang looked a little excited, his body trembled, he put the small teapot to the side, slipped off the bed at once, and knelt on the ground.

"Thank you..."

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Get up! Sister Qing, help me get your dad up..."

The old man refused to get up, his hands trembled and grabbed my hand, tears came down his cheeks, "Thank you, Master Leng, thank you, you have done a lot for me in this year, and have experienced a lot of dangerous things, I know everything, in fact, I have an old life, I don't have many years to live, it doesn't matter if I can't save it or not, if you have a mistake, I'm really..."

The old man's words moved me a little, and my eyes were hot, Xiaoqing stood aside, wiping her tears and sobbing her nose. Uncle Yang's lazy worm didn't see anyone, so he shouldn't have gotten up yet.

"Don't talk about this, uncle, it's all over, hurry up..."

Helping the old man back to the bed, I handed him the teapot.

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you."

"Just say."

"Do you know Wanjin Mountain?"

The old man's face darkened, his eyes looked at the ground, and he clenched his fists, "Don't you know..."

"You used to have a good relationship with him?"

"It's not very deep."

"You teamed up with him and engaged in tomb robbing and reselling antiques, didn't you?" I looked at him and asked.

The old man's body shook, and after a while, he said slowly, "You all know? ”

"Hmm..."

"Dad, you... Have you robbed a tomb? Xiaoqing asked.

"No, the tomb robbery was done by Wanjin Mountain, I haven't done it for a long time, I'm only responsible for finding a buyer."

"Uncle, don't worry, drink saliva, and say slowly, I asked you this, not to find out what you did back then, but to know the details about Wanjin Mountain, he has already harmed a lot of people, and now I don't know where to hide..."

"Alas, it's a long story..."The old man took a sip of water and looked out the window, "I'm not a good person, just when the reform and opening up, I robbed tombs with others, and ran through many places from all over the world. After accumulating some capital, I washed my hands and didn't dry it, not because I was afraid that I would be punished by God, but because I couldn't get over it on my conscience. However, once a person steps into a certain line of trade, it is very difficult to completely clear himself. Although I don't wash my hands anymore, my network is still there, which is why Wan Jinshan found me..."

"Wan Jinshan found it?"

"Well, he didn't know where he heard about me, so he came over and asked me to help him deal with what he got out of the tomb. He threatened me that if I didn't agree, he would poke out what I had done back then, and I couldn't do anything about it. However, one day, he suddenly washed his hands and did not dry them, and I was very strange, and when I asked him why, he would not say. ”

"When was that?"

"Probably..."

The old man snapped his fingers, "It has been several years before I got sick. ”

I thought to myself, it should be the time when Wanjin Mountain dug Gao Qien out of the stone chamber by the Yellow River. Wan Jinshan used to just use the Yin and Yang Five Elements technique passed down to him by the old fox to detect and find the ancient tombs, and sell the stolen antique artifacts, although the profits are very high, but the risks are very high, and I have always cracked down on tomb robbery activities very harshly. Wan Jinshan and Gao Qien learned to borrow fortune, and after borrowing Yangshou, they naturally would not engage in tomb robbery. I think the reason why he killed Old Man Yang should be to kill people and kill his mouth, so as not to let Old Man Yang shake out what he had done. Judging from this, Old Man Yang should not have seen Gao Qien...

As for burying the iron box in the forest outside the county seat, Old Man Yang said that he was not personally buried by Wanjin Mountain. Wan Jinshan once mentioned the forest to him, and asked him about his birthday... Old man Yang shouldn't be lying, he was sleepwalking, probably subconsciously remembering this incident, so he ran to the forest. If he had buried the box, he wouldn't have searched all over the woods...

"Then when you went to Uncle Yang's house in Hebei and ordered him to carve a spell into the well, and his mother's birthday, what happened?" I asked.

"Hebei Shujun's family?" Old Man Yang was stunned, "I haven't been there?" ”

"Why haven't you been?" Uncle Yang walked in, "You went to my house and hugged my head and cried, don't you remember?" I told you about my mother's death and her body, and you told me to find a well, and carved that pile of things into the well, saying that if you do that, my mother will not be able to walk out of a radius of ten miles, and every time she wants to kill someone, I can sense it. What else do you say, you got lost and broke into the Taihang Mountain, and you saw my uncle, it was my uncle who asked you to bring me a message to let me do this..."As he spoke, Yang Shujun pointed to the house where the old man lived in Niansheng, "Look at it, my uncle has to be served by someone to pull a poop, and he will ask you to bring me a message?" Last night he pulled a poop..."

Xiaoqing was eating potato chips, and when she heard Yang Shujun say this, she exclaimed, "Uncle Cousin, you are pooping and going, and you don't let people eat?" ”

Yang Shujun grinned.

Old Man Yang shook his head, "How can I... Why don't I remember at all? ”

Looking at the situation, this old man Yang's memory has not fully recovered, after all, he has been paralyzed in bed for several years. As for the fact that he instructed Boss Wang to buy the abandoned mansion, I didn't ask, and I planned to wait for a while when his body was almost recovered.

At noon that day, Mr. Yang called a large table of dishes to entertain me, and during the banquet, I shivered and poured me wine, saying that it didn't matter if I drank more, and asked Xiaoqing to drive me back.

"Master Leng..."

"Uncle, it's okay to call me Xiao Leng."

"Okay, Xiao Leng."

"Hmm."

"Xiao Leng..."

"Huh? What's the matter, uncle? ”

"I hit it off with you at first sight, and you saved my life, but it's a pity that I'm just such a daughter, and I'm married, otherwise I'll promise her to you..."

I looked at Xiaoqing, who was gobbling up, swallowed my saliva, picked up my wine glass, and took a sip of wine.

"So I thought about it, why don't we two become brothers?" Old man Yang said seriously.

I almost didn't throw it out in one gulp. Just listen to the 'poof', Xiaoqing sprayed a mouth full of vegetables on Yang Shujun.

"Ah, you belong to the fountain?

Yang Shujun patted his body and said.

Xiaoqing coughed repeatedly, "Dad... Are you confused... Confused? ”

"What nonsense?" Old Man Yang's face was flat, "I am sincere..."

I couldn't cry or laugh, and I said in my heart, the people of the Yang family are really unreliable.

Before leaving, Old Man Yang was still saying, "Xiao Leng, you can think about the matter of worship." ”

"Uh-huh, okay, uncle, go back to the house quickly, it's cold outside..."

Uncle Yang and I went back to Master's house together, and it was very easy during the Chinese New Year, with nothing to do, just drinking and playing cards every day. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I began to study Qimen Fangshu, and in addition, every day with the two of Morning Star, I learned sanda fighting with Yuxin. Morning Star has a high level of understanding, and she often exercises, she learns quickly, and in just a short period of time, one or two ordinary young people are no longer her opponents.

That afternoon, I was squatting on the ground to rehearse the situation, and my mobile phone rang, and Mr. Yang called. said that he remembered that at that time in the city, Wanjinshan liked to go to a fixed foot bathing city to wash his feet and massage.

I said in my heart, I don't know if Wanjin Mountain has been there recently, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go to the bathing city and inquire.

"Xiao Leng, Xiao Leng, wait a minute!" After Master Yuming, I was about to drill into the car when I was stopped by Yang Shujun.

"What?"

Yang Shujun smiled, "I'll go with you, I'm going to live at such an old age, uncle, I haven't had a massage yet, let me enjoy it too." ”

I can't laugh or cry.

"I've heard people say, that place is not very clean, you are so handsome, what if there are indiscriminate women hooking up with you? Uncle I do massage secondly, the main is to supervise you, if you don't take me there, it means that you kid has a ghost in his heart, right, two sisters? ”

Yuxin and Morning Star both pouted at him at the same time.

"Okay..."I opened the car door and said with a smile, "Yang Dudu, please get in the car..."
