Chapter 142: A Strange Letter (1)
Speaking of which, Yang Lei's kid can be regarded as a clear door to the small post office where Zhang Qiang is located, his family has been working in the post office since his grandfather's generation, and the treatment of the post office at that time was quite good, so his father was also arranged here, but then for some reason his father left after working in the post office for ten years and drove a taxi to work.
If a person drinks cold water and stuffs his teeth when he points his back, it only took half a year for the taxi to ascend to heaven with the car. It is said that when Yang Lei went to the hospital, he was still conscious, and grabbed Yang Lei's hand tightly and said, "Son, you are not allowed to be a postman for me for the rest of your life." ”
Yang Lei must have had great ambitions at that time, and nodded hurriedly, and then the old man's hand twitched hard, Yang Lei made an OK gesture, and the old man finally swallowed his breath. But this kid was really competitive, and after half a year, he finally became a postman again.
Many old people in the post office are quite familiar with Yang Lei's father, so most of the inside information comes out of his mouth.
At this time, Yang Lei's eyes were bright, his breathing became a little short, and then he said slowly: "Do you know why my father has been a postman for ten years and never does it again?" ”
"Come on, don't hang around here, hurry up." Zhang Qiang said impatiently.
"Well, more than ten years ago, when Zhang Qiang was still young, my father was good as a postman, but once he received a letter, he hadn't heard of that place at that time, but at that time he was young and vigorous, so he didn't think much about it. A few days later, my father suddenly opened the door at night, his hair was shaggy and his face was pale, and when he entered the house, he locked the door tightly. Since then, my father seems to have changed as a person, always day and night, not eating any meat, frowning all day long, sometimes waking up from his dreams during the day, and constantly shouting don't kill me, don't kill me.
Later, my mother saw that he could no longer go to work, so she helped him quit his job. After about three months, he gradually recovered, so he bought a taxi with his friends and drove it, and at that time he only drove at night, because he had to sleep during the day.
The business started well, and my dad was very motivated. But one night not long after, my father suddenly came home, and he was supposed to go out of the car in the evening, but that day he came home with trembling all over his body, his lips were bruised, and sweat was pouring down, and he locked the door tightly, and paced restlessly in the room, smoking cigarette after cigarette. A week later, he was in an accident when he got out of the car again. After Yang Lei finished telling the story, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiang.
"Do you know where that letter was delivered?"
"No......" Zhang Qiang said with a gentle cough, "It won't be Cao Yucun!" ”
Yang Lei nodded helplessly.
"You save it!" Zhang Qiang is a naturally hard-mouthed person, although he doesn't believe it, he is still very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Xiaoqiang, don't believe it, no matter what happens in the future, my brother promises to make you happy tonight." Old man Zhao said and handed over a cigarette to Zhang Qiang.
"Wow, when did Old Man Zhao change to a red panda?" To tell the truth, Zhang Qiang usually only smokes cigarettes for four or five yuan, and they have nothing to calculate, just enough salary to make ends meet, and it is already a luxury to be able to hold a smoking thing, and the red panda really doesn't dare to think about it.
"Hey, I didn't smoke a few, you can bring the rest, smoke it on the way!" Old man Zhao's ability to scare people is really not ordinary, and Zhang Qiang is the same as walking on Huangquan Road.
"Okay, then I'll laugh at it." Zhang Qiang took the cigarette and stuffed it into his pocket. Then everyone remained silent throughout the banquet, only Old Man Zhao occasionally said some non-meat jokes to adjust the atmosphere.
When I walked out of the hotel, it was already nine o'clock at night, and everyone drank a lot, especially the old man Zhao who was already unconscious, because Zhang Qiang and the old man Zhao lived closely, so Zhang Qiang had to send him home first.
didn't take a few steps, Old Man Zhao suddenly patted Zhang Qiang gently. Zhang Qiang was stunned, this guy had already come down from Zhang Qiang's back, and then walked in front of Zhang Qiang. Dizzy, this guy is taking advantage of Zhang Qiang, and the drunken and unconscious appearance just now is completely pretended.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Qiang said angrily and hatefully.
Old man Zhao smiled, "If it weren't for this, how would you have deceived those kids." Old man Zhao let out a sigh, patted Zhang Qiang's shoulder lightly, and said, "Let's go, go to my house, I'll give you something!" ”
Seeing that Old Man Zhao's clothes were confident, Zhang Qiang followed behind at a loss. His family's community is the family home of the power department, the building in the early nineties, the house is not big, about 60 square meters, Zhao's father also passed away early, and his mother has been paralyzed in bed. But the house was very clean.
Old man Zhao asked Zhang Qiang to sit on the sofa in the living room and walked into the room by himself. The living room of this house is not large, but it is very warmly furnished, and behind the sofa hangs a portrait of his father. After a long time, Old Man Zhao finally walked out of the house sweating profusely, with one more thing in his hand.
It was wrapped in newspaper, like a box. He sat next to Zhang Qiang, gently patted the dust on his body and said, "Hey, I don't know if there is anything that can help you, you take this with you!" ”
"What's that?" Zhang Qiang asked curiously.
Old man Zhao smiled, and then said: "My old man died early, this is the only thing he left us, after so many years, I really don't know if it's useful!" ”
His words made Zhang Qiang even more curious, what is the content wrapped in this newspaper?
As soon as he said that it was left by his father, Zhang Qiang's curiosity was immediately aroused, he had known Old Man Zhao for so long and often heard him boast that his father had collected a lot of treasures when he was alive, but every time he wanted to see it, Old Man Zhao was really wilted.
Old man Zhao gently opened the newspaper, inside was a black box ten centimeters square, the box was engraved with some strange patterns, although Zhang Qiang didn't know anything about antiques, but Zhang Qiang still felt that this box was a little weird.
"Look, here's the moment to witness the miracle!" Old man Zhao's triangular eyes flashed with golden light, and he said in Liu Qian's tone. Old man Zhao opened the box gently as he spoke, and a black stone appeared in front of Zhang Qiang, looking like a piece of solidified asphalt if he didn't look closely.
"I'll go, what is this, you made it so mysterious!" Zhang Qiang leaned back on the sofa in disappointment.
"Hey, don't underestimate it, it's not any ordinary thing." Old man Zhao said and closed the box, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Qiang and said, "This thing has some origins!" ”
Zhang Qiang took a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at him and nodded noncommittally.
"When my old man was young, he lived in the Wenfang shop, which was surrounded by mountains, but a long time ago there was a big man surnamed Yang, and their ancestral graves were all in that area. It is said that on the festival day, relatives from afar would take a cart at night and bring various offerings to the bookstore, and when they woke up the next morning, they could see paper figurines that were valuable and filled the streets! Old man Zhao took a puff of his cigarette and said.
"Bluff! Coming to worship in the middle of the night? It can't be a ghost! Zhang Qiang said disdainfully.
"You know what a! I heard the old man say that there is a feng shui treasure in that place of the study, but no one found it, and then the Yang family moved the ancestral tomb there after finding it, and the Yang family began to make a fortune since then. But Feng Shui is a more mysterious thing, and it is easy for masters to break it, in order to prevent others from knowing the specific location of the ancestral tomb, so they basically worship at night! "Old man Zhao said the head of the way.
"Go on!" Zhang Qiang pinched his cigarette and looked at Old Man Zhao with a confused expression.
Later, the Yang family was defeated, but at that time, the old man said that there were many rare treasures buried in the Yang family's tomb. But no one could find the whereabouts of the graveyard. Old man Zhao said with a long sigh.
"Text. During the Revolution, it was just in time to build the railway in the scholar's shop, and at that time, many cemeteries around the railway were moved, and many treasures were dug up. At that time, the old man was young and his family was poor, so he went to the dug up cemetery with a few friends to pick up treasures. ”
"Well, what about then?" What kind of era was that?
"I heard the old man say that they didn't pick up any treasures for a few days after they started to walk around the mass graves, and there were fewer people who went later. In the end, only he and a man named Li Ergou were left, and the moon was very bright that night, and the two children went to the cemetery again, and it was normal at first, but just after the child, the old man heard a sound of Xixi Suo Suo coming out of his ears, and the sound was like a gentle footstep. The two children were stunned, it was inevitable that they would be weak when they were wandering around the mass graves at night, and the footsteps made the two of them even more panicked. So the two children quickened their steps and walked forward, but at this moment, the old man suddenly heard a bang behind him.
The old man hurriedly turned around, but found that Sun Li Ergou was gone.
"Huh?" Zhang Qiang's heart then rose to his throat, "What's the matter?" ”
At that time, the old man also felt very strange, he turned his head and looked left and right, and finally saw a hole in the ground by the moonlight, compared to Li Ergou who fell into the hole, he shouted twice but there was no sound. The old man was already a little frightened at that time. After a long time, Li Ergou let out a dull shout from below, compared to when he had just fallen, he had already fallen and fainted. Old man Zhao said and lit another cigarette.
This had happened before, so the old man had already prepared for it, so he took out the rope he had prepared in advance, tied one end of the rope to the stone, and the other end went down to the hole. But Li Ergou was already injured, and he couldn't climb up at all, so in desperation, the old man followed the rest into the hole. The more Old Man Zhao spoke, the faster he spoke, as if he was recalling the experience of his youth, "The cave is very deep, and the hole is empty all around, as if the entrance of the cave is opening above the tomb. After the old man felt that his feet touched the ground, he stepped hard to make sure that his feet could be struggling, and then he was relieved. Standing in the middle of the tomb, he took out a pack of matches from his pocket, lit the torch he carried with him, and immediately saw everything in front of him. ”
"Li Ergou was lying in the cemetery with his back to the old man hunched over, with scattered white bones under his feet, and there was a small hole not far away, which seemed to lead to a deeper place, and at this time, there was nothing else in the hole in the ground in their depths except human bones." Old man Zhao was almost lit with a cigarette but he didn't realize it at all, "The old man looked around, and then walked towards Li Ergou, he gently pushed Li Ergou's back, but Li Ergou didn't seem to react, still hunched his back to the old man. ”
The old man pushed again, and at this moment, he suddenly stood up from the ground and slowly turned his head. Old man Zhao said that there was a sudden stop, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, there was a noisy knock on the door, and Zhang Qiang and Old Man Zhao's bodies trembled, after all, Zhang Qiang was too absorbed in hearing Old Man Zhao's story just now, and after a few seconds, they finally returned to normal.
"Who could it be so late?" Zhang Qiang looked at Old Man Zhao curiously, Old Man Zhao stood up and walked towards the door, looked out from the cat's eye, and then quickly opened the door, a tall girl appeared at the door, she was wearing a white T-shirt, combed a ponytail, her eyes were very big, she smiled when she saw Old Man Zhao, and said, "Brother, have friends?" ”
Old man Zhao nodded, the girl walked in, looked at Zhang Qiang and nodded, if it weren't for what she said just now, Zhang Qiang would really be difficult to associate the girl in front of him with Old Man Zhao, and they turned out to be brother and sister. The girl smiled and walked towards Old Man Zhao's mother's room.
"Your sister?" Zhang Qiang looked at Old Man Zhao incredulously.
Old man Zhao nodded expressionlessly, then sat next to Zhang Qiang again, and said, "I'll talk to you next!" ”
Zhang Qiang secretly thought in his heart that Old Man Zhao was not a shallow city, and he had never said that he had such a beautiful sister.
Li Ergou's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes looked straight at the old man. The old man secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, it must be a ghost. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Li Ergou suddenly thought like he was crazy, and the old man pounced, and the old man was young at the time, and this blow was already expected by him, so he hurriedly dodged. Li Ergou didn't stop after a blow in the air, and turned his body to hit another heavy blow. The old man dodged left and right, and suddenly stepped on a bone under his feet, and fell upside down to the ground. Old man Zhao swallowed his saliva as he said and said, "Li Ergou half-arched his body as if he had finally seized the opportunity, and pounced as soon as he jumped over. When Li Ergou rushed over, because the torch had been extinguished, he didn't find the bone in front of him at all, and as a result, the bone passed through his chest, Li Ergou struggled in pain, pounced viciously around, and suddenly grabbed the rope, Li Ergou had an idea, pulled out the knife, and cut the rope with a knife. The old man saw that the time had come, and grabbed half of the bones like Li Ergou's stab, and Li Ergou was twitched twice by this thorn and fell to the ground.
The old man pushed Li Ergou again and saw that he still didn't move, so he sat down on the ground limply. After a while, he realized that it was impossible to climb out of the cave at this time, and the rope had been cut by Li Ergou with a knife, and suddenly he remembered that there was a small hole on the side of this tomb, although it was small, but it was enough for a person to bow over. ”
After a short rest, the old man climbed into the hole, and before he climbed a few meters, the sound of gurgling water came from the old man's ears. Old man Zhao let out a long sigh. R1058
