Chapter 36 Where is the address book?

I looked at Qin Yiheng and suddenly had an idea, the reason why he brought me here was because he had already known that the ancestral hall of the Markham Rong family was here? So, did he bring me to find Markham's "address book"? If my guess is correct, then why has Qin Yiheng been hiding from me and refusing to tell the truth? And what information is in that "address book" that he must find? And if my guess is wrong, it makes even more sense, this is not a money-making business, why did he have to bring me?

There were too many doubts in my head, so I paused, and wanted to organize the language and ask Qin Yiheng what was going on. Before I could open my mouth, he preemptively said, I know that you are full of question marks now, but it is inconvenient for me to tell you here now. After speaking, he gestured with a flashlight and said, I paid attention just now, there is still a room inside, we must at least look at it before making plans.

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the inner room. The room we are in now should be the center of the entire ancestral hall, because judging from the size, it should already occupy a large part of the entire building. I shone it with a flashlight, and there was indeed a door next to the wall, I thought about it in my heart, anyway, there are not many places left that have not been explored, let's listen to Qin Yiheng first, I will get to the bottom of it now, and it is indeed not the time, just follow him.

Qin Yiheng was still very careful when he opened the door this time, and I also had a long memory, so I paid special attention to my feet. The two men entered the room, looked around with their flashlights, and saw that it was a slender room. There was nothing in the room, and at first glance it looked like a corridor, but when the light shone into the distance, all that was left was the wall and three small round windows. Qin Yiheng glanced around, but he didn't seem to find anything. I grew bold, and went straight to the farthest wall, trying to see what it was like outside the window. Because of the line of sight, I didn't seem to pay attention to it from a distance, but when I got closer, I found that these three windows were opened a little strangely, first of all, the window opened very low, and it was up to my waist, and if I wanted to look outside, I had to squat down halfway; Secondly, I only knew that there was no glass on the windows, and I don't know if the road was not installed or designed like this. Anyway, I didn't bother to study the aesthetics of architecture, so I crouched down and looked out curiously after thinking about it, and the result was very disappointing, the outside was darker than the inside. I shone my flashlight out of the water, and I could barely see the trunks of the trees in the forest, which was already the outer wall of the entire building.

I stood up and thought to myself, what the fuck is going on, there are three holes in here, and they are open so low that if it rains, the rain will come in. I used my body to draw the position again, is this for people to pee? Straight from the house to the outside? But is it that troublesome to fix a toilet? Everyone in this family loves performance art? The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, and I looked back to see that Qin Yiheng was still holding a flashlight to look at the wall. I pondered for a moment, then crouched down to poke my head out to take a look.

It was no problem for people of the size of the hole to crawl out, so I crouched down and stuck my head out of the wall with the pestle. It was still dark outside, and I turned my head to see if there was anything special on the outside of this wall, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw a person lying under the wall, also looking up at me with his head up. Looking at each other, I almost didn't scare my back, I immediately wanted to retract my head with an "ah" sound, it was a big hole, I was so flustered, my head hit the edge of the hole, and this knocked my eyes black for a while. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng heard my scream, dragged my clothes from behind, and dragged me back. When I got back into the house, the man was paralyzed on the ground panting, trying to tell him that there was someone outside the wall, but he couldn't say anything for a long time, so he could only show him with his finger.

Qin Yiheng saw that I didn't understand, and Bacheng thought that I was evil, so he hurriedly told me to take out a stick and prick myself. I waved my hand, and I was finally able to speak, there was someone outside! When he heard this, he was also shocked, and he pulled me up with both hands, retreated to the door, and asked me, do you see clearly what kind of person it is?

I was scared at the time, where could I remember what kind of person it was, so I could only shake my head and ask Qin Yiheng, what is this person doing lying there in the middle of the night? As soon as the words came out, I reacted, could it be that this person broke the bureau of the town? He came in first, and then he heard us both of us, and he got out of the hole and hid outside the wall? In this case, I was really fated just now, and I was completely sticking out my head and waiting for someone to slaughter. However, that person didn't attack me, could it be that he didn't intend to harm the two of us, or did he not expect me to poke my head out just now, and he was not prepared for a while, so he didn't have time to attack me?

Anyway, it was already a big problem for this person to be here at such a time.

Qin Yiheng shook his head when he heard my words, drew a "shhhh I did so, and the room was suddenly darkened again. Qin Yiheng pulled the corner of my clothes a few times with his hand, seeing that it meant to signal me to follow him. Unfortunately, it was too dark, and I was afraid that I would be separated from him, so I had to drag his backpack strap with my hand, and slowly move out of the door with him, and returned to the ancestral hall.

We walked to the corner, Qin Yiheng said to me in a low voice, we can't turn on the flashlight yet, let's try not to expose our position. I just thought about it, those three holes should be the venting eyes in feng shui, which are used to vent the evil qi of disaster, year, and calamity. As for that person, whoever it is, we have to be careful. I saw on the wall of that room a lot of people writing numbers with their pens on the wall, the handwriting was very fresh, it was probably left by that person, it seemed to be calculating some values, and I didn't understand what it meant. There are too many quirky things in this house, and I'll take a look at the other side houses. But the current situation can't take you there, you wait here, I'll come back to you when I'm done.

With that, he turned and left. At first I could still feel him tiptoeing, but after a while, I couldn't feel his presence at all. I leaned against the corner of the wall, and suddenly began to be inexplicably afraid, after all, there were so many spiritual positions in this room, and Qin Yiheng was not around, this atmosphere was indeed a little scary. I tried to calm down and reassure myself that the wind and waves had come, it was no big deal, but my heart was still beating fast. I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but I was afraid of revealing my position, so I just put up with it. After a while, I can't say exactly how long, but I heard a sound from somewhere in the house that looked like metal grinding, and on closer listening it sounded like the movement of chains dragging on the ground.

I pricked up my ears to tell what was going on, but I couldn't really hear it, and yet, although the movement was small, it scared me enough to choke and send a chill down my spine. Fortunately, after a while, the voice disappeared, and then I felt Qin Yiheng tiptoe back, slowly come to my side, and pat me gently.

I couldn't see it, but I could still feel him turn around and creep out after he finished filming me. When I saw this, I knew that he was telling me to go with him, so I cautiously took steps to follow. There were no windows in this house, and it was so dark that I was afraid that I would accidentally bump into the spiritual position while walking, so I reached out and grabbed the strap of his backpack. However, after I stretched out my hand, my scalp immediately felt numb, because I didn't touch the imaginary backpack belt, but directly touched this person's back - this person is not Qin Yiheng!

At this time, I was completely panicked, and instinctively took two steps back, not caring if there was a sound in the movement, and I wanted to pick up the flashlight to defend myself. The flashlight we bought is more than 30 centimeters long, and it is still quite heavy in the hand, although it is not handy, but it is still okay to use it as a guy. I stepped back again, trying to keep myself and the other person at a relatively safe distance. Then, I directly turned on the flashlight and shone it at that person, and said in my heart, fuck, even if you fight, you have to let Lao Tzu see who you are. However, after the lights came on, I was stunned, this was obviously Qin Yiheng! But where did his bag go?

When Qin Yiheng saw that I turned on the flashlight, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly told me with a gesture to turn off the flashlight, saying that he had just found a room and had to take me to see it. His voice was very soft, and I was a little stunned, but I didn't react. When he saw this, he snatched the flashlight from my hand and extinguished it, then grabbed my arm and told me to follow him on.

We walked out of the ancestral hall and went straight back to the courtyard. The moonlight outside had been obscured, and the visibility was not good, but it was still much stronger than the black lights in the house. Qin Yiheng took me to the left side of the courtyard, and then I saw that there was a small iron door here, on which were tied three finger-thick iron chains, which were fastened together by a metal lock, could it be that the movement I heard just now was from here? I immediately respected Qin Yiheng, I didn't expect him to have the ability to pick locks. Who knew that he turned over directly in three steps and two steps, and told me not to be stunned, and to follow quickly. I overestimated him, so I took off my bag, threw it first, and then flipped it over.

Passing through this door, this side should be considered a small corridor, but it is not transparent, the corridor is sandwiched by a wall more than one person high, and walking in it is also very similar to walking indoors. I walked with Qin Yiheng for a while, and I had almost gone around to the back of the house, and Qin Yiheng stopped. At this moment, another door appeared in front of us.

There's a room here? It depends on the situation and the room inside. Qin Yiheng rummaged through his pocket for a while, stuffed something into my hand, told me to hold it in my mouth, and then reminded me to take the wooden skewer and walked in first. When I opened my hands, I couldn't help but gag, this is still a fucking ball of sheep dung. To be honest, this smell is really unbearable, but Qin Yiheng is also for my good, so I had to endure the nausea and follow it in my mouth.

Originally, I thought that the room should still be pitch black, but I didn't expect that Qin Yiheng had already lit three white waxes on the ground when he came in before, and the visibility in the house was okay, but when the two of us came in, because of the air flow, the fire of the candle wick swayed a few times, which made people a little uneasy. I put my bag down and looked around a few times, this house is not big, at least much smaller than the room we were in before, only 30 square meters, there is a large stone grinding plate in the center of the house, it looks like it should be some years old. Along the stone mill there is a long conduit cut from bamboo to divert water, and the wall inside is covered with a rainproof cloth, which looks like something small.
