Chapter 3 Returning Home
Old man Zhao's next explanation made my mood gradually become solemn.
It was an old silk book, with a combination of words and patterns, the patterns were weird and messy, unorganized, and the words were unprecedented. Old man Zhao has been in this line for decades, and he has seen too many ancient characters, but this silk book makes him feel like reading a book from heaven. With a keen directness, the old man Zhao concluded that the content recorded in this silk book must be very important, so he was greedy to hide it, and after a period of time, he had worked hard to study, but unfortunately there was no gain, and then he gradually left it behind, until he came out of the civil official tomb and saw me and Tofu.
At that time, he wanted to exchange this silk book and use my skills to obtain the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone, who knew that in the end the things would be taken away by Lu Su. There is a lot of strange things in this, and Second Master Zhao is naturally unwilling to hand over things to me, so what happened later. This time I entered Shu with Zhen Rui, and the two had an agreement, and Old Man Zhao promised to return the things left by the statement to me, but when I came back, the box was empty.
After speaking, Second Master Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "People who can steal things from my territory should not be underestimated." ”
I don't know if what he said is true or not, but if he can't even understand the contents of that silk book, I'm afraid it won't be useful in my hands.
At this point, the clue was completely broken, and my mind was full of one question: who was stealing?
Why did the man steal the silk book? Could it be that the man could read the silk book?
Zhao Erye saw that I didn't answer, so I smoked, I suddenly smelled, this smoke smell is a little strange, I am also a smoker, I am more sensitive to the taste of smoke, he puffed out the smoke, there is a trace of sweet taste. I sniffed and looked at his cigarette butt again, and the tobacco inside was a little black.
I remember that Zhao Erye is a 'Wen family', and generally Wen families pay attention to protecting their sense of smell, so they quit smoking, and the last time I saw him, the interview lasted a long time, and I never saw him smoke, why did he suddenly become an old cigarette pouch?
Probably noticing my gaze, Old Man Zhao smiled and said, "There's something added here." ”
I had already guessed most of it, and before I could say anything, I got up and left the summit building. If I'm not wrong, Old Man Zhao's tobacco should be poppy for pain relief, and there must be something wrong with his body, and he must be enduring some kind of pain, so he smokes this thing.
Old man Zhao obviously didn't mean to explain just now, what happened to them when they entered Shu this time?
Where is Lu Su?
Did the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhaishi take it back? This series of questions, I'm afraid I can only wait for Yuan Rui to answer.
There was no news from Zhuanrui's side for a long time, and I waited for two days, so I couldn't wait, and the sixth sense told me that this matter was not simple. In the past two days, I took out the jade tablet of Princess Geger to study, and handed the jade tablet to the one-eyed dragon palm, he touched and smelled and photographed, and finally said: "This is an object from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the text on it is incomprehensible, I think this is a bit like a prayer." ”
"Prayer?" His words intrigued me and I asked, "Tell me more about what this blessing mean?" ”
The one-eyed dragon shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the prayer is just a general term, representing words in a specific environment, such as Taoist talismans, you can't understand it, right?" It looks like some lines and drawings, but in fact it is a kind of writing, and for example, a foreign cross, it belongs to a blessing and prayer, which can represent words, or some kind of symbol, or some kind of power. ”
I immediately understood, and said, "So, the thing on this jade plaque is probably related to some ancient religion, and it is a religious text?" ”
The one-eyed dragon nodded, and an idea immediately popped into my mind, and my heart said, "Could it be the shaman's divine word?" Perhaps, I would have to find an old shaman to make out the words. But most of the shamans exist in the northern Inner Mongolia area, and it is definitely not possible to go now, so after thinking about it, I decided to go back to my hometown first and investigate the affairs at home.
The injuries on Tofu's body are also healed, and he looks like a dragon and a tiger again, and his life has been very moist recently, full of red light, and he has only been a month, and he hooked up with the cheongsam beauty in the tea house opposite. I've seen that girl, at first glance, it's a heart higher than the sky, scheming, tofu and her absolutely no play, in my countless eyes, they have only two results together, first: tofu's chastity is not guaranteed, and then abandoned; Second: Tofu's chastity is not guaranteed, and then he is deceived.
Although I shouldn't be so wide, even my brother's personal happiness is mixed with a kick, but Tofu has no heart, and I can't watch him jump into the fire pit, while the two of them are not like glue, I said to Tofu: "Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown, you will also follow, and the shop will be handed over to Zhang Sheng to take care of." ”
Tofu has gained three pounds in more than a month, with a popsicle in his mouth, shaking his head and saying, "Don't go, I'll make an appointment with Kiki to go fishing tomorrow." ”
I said, "Is it important to be a brother or a woman?" ”
Tofu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you ask this kind of question?" What do you think of me, nonsense, of course women are important, women can sleep with me, give me children, brother? I choked and said, "That girl is not for you." ”
Tofu was very persistent on this issue, saying, "Why, I think Kiki is good." ”
I said, "Yes, she is very good, with a slender figure, melon seed face, bright skin, wearing a cheongsam, sitting there, like a fox spirit, nine out of ten male tourists passing by want to enter her shop." ”
Tofu got angry and said, "You can't say she's a vixen!" ”
"I didn't say she was a vixen, I was complimenting her, what a good woman, so many excellent men, like me...... Why do you fall for you? ”
Tofu was speechless for a while, looking very hurt. I said, "It seems that you are not too stupid, you should see that she is playing with you." ”
Tofu sighed and said, "Men are not bad, women are not loved, in this world, women like bad men." Lao Chen, from now on, you have to stay a hundred meters away from me, and if you are with you, your sister will be snatched away by you. I saw that Tofu had opened my mind, so I said, "Okay, don't talk about what you have or not, pack up your things, and prepare to leave tomorrow." ”
Kiki is a beautiful girl, but it's a pity that she failed to seduce me two days ago, and now she turns around and hooks up with my brother again, is this trying to sow discord or sow discord?
Fortunately, the tofu is not really stupid, and I guess I can see the clues, and the next day I set foot on the way home like a frosted eggplant, and I have been nagging about my eighteenth spring along the way.
My hometown is in Longnan, strictly speaking, that place is not my hometown, because my grandfather and I are immigrants, but the local people are simple, so they have not excluded us. When I arrived at my hometown, I had to walk a mountain road, and Tofu was disgusted and said, "It turns out that you came out of this poor ravine, and it is really a shame to be a brother with you." ”
I said: "Okay, I still think I am the second generation of the rich, this barren mountains and mountains, if you talk nonsense, I will murder you directly." "It's getting late at this time, we are walking on the rugged mountain road with a flashlight, there is a ride without a ride to talk nonsense to relieve boredom, about an hour, in the difficult conditions of the poor mountainous area, in the difficult conditions of the poor mountainous area, in the distance, a ravine, revealing a dim light.
I looked at the quiet mountain village in the night at my feet and said, "Here we are, here it is." ”
There is no change at all in our memory, we are standing on a high place, the mountain village is located in a ravine, although the location is remote, but fortunately, there is electricity, and you can see the quiet lights at this time, but many people in the village have moved out, so the lights appear scattered. I took the tofu all the way down the mountain, and entered the village in half an hour.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, people in the village came and went, many people no longer knew each other, and under the reception of Uncle Ge, we lived in his house.
Uncle Ge is over 50 years old this year, and he used to be neighbors with our family, needless to say, I heard that I came back to clean up the old things, Uncle Ge looked a little embarrassed, as if something was wrong. Looking at his gray hair, I wondered, "Uncle Ge, is something wrong?" ”
"To tell you the truth, there is no one at home, you haven't come back for more than ten years, and the little things in the house, if there are any households in the village that are missing, they took it away, and now there is nothing left."
I was a little surprised, not so much concerned about the old furniture, but worried about whether it would destroy any clues, so I asked, "Did they find anything special when they moved things?" ”
Uncle Ge recalled for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, what, you came back to find something?" ”
Uncle Ge is honest and honest, and I don't hide it from him, saying that I came back this time mainly to check my grandfather's relics and want to know the clues of his disappearance. Everyone in the village knew that my grandfather had disappeared suddenly, so Uncle Ge just sighed and said, "You are a filial child, it's getting late, you can rest first, and find it tomorrow." ”
That night, Tofu and I slept at Uncle Ge's house, and in the middle of the night, I slept in a daze, and suddenly I was woken up by Tofu, because there were only two beds in this house, so Tofu and I were crowded together. When I was woken up in the middle of the night, I was very angry and said, "What are you doing? ”
In the dark, Tofu said nervously: "Listen, there are women laughing." ”
I listened closely, and sure enough, I heard a sound like a woman's laughter, but I knew very well the origin of this sound, it was not a haunted in the middle of the night or something, but an animal unique to this place, the name is 'Shen Xiao', the legend has long hands and long feet, looks like a monkey, is the embodiment of the mountain god in the mountains. No one has ever seen this animal, but at night, their voices are occasionally heard, and there is no major problem.
