Chapter 10: Eight-tone rats
I couldn't wait to start looking at my dad's phone, but before I could light up the phone screen, my heart suddenly tightened.
The phone was stained with dried blood, and it looked like it had been for a while. I had a bad premonition in my heart, but I still managed to hold back the tremor of my hands and began to look through the communication records and text message boxes on my phone. In the communication log, I only saw my own mobile phone and dormitory phone number, and the text message box only had mobile phone bill information.
I suddenly put down my phone, threw myself in front of the child, grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Why is there nothing in my father's phone?" You said that you had something to do with him, did you delete it! ”
"No, it's not, there's a recording of your dad on my phone." The child curled up, his eyes fixed on the peanuts beside him.
I let go of him and picked up my phone again to rummage through the recordings. Indeed, although my dad can read, this kind of thing is too high-tech for him to type on his mobile phone, and recording is definitely his best choice.
Soon, I found the only recording file on my phone. I took a deep breath, not knowing what I was going to hear, and after five or six seconds, I pressed play.
In an instant, there was a loud ringing on the phone, and we were all startled. The sound was like a man with a hammer knocking on an iron door. What's even more bizarre is that the sound of metal crashing is mixed with a woman's cry, and the scalp of the listener is numb.
All four of us had stiff expressions, all waiting for the voice to fade away. After about half a minute, the previous two voices were noticeably quieter. Then, a series of heavy breathing sounds came from the phone.
"Daddy, it's my daddy." I screamed and turned my head to look at Peanut and Lao Tan, and at this time, I noticed that Peanut's expression was very serious, and even, in the corner of his eye, I saw a trace of doubt that was difficult to capture.
"Yuan Zi, it's Dad." Finally, the voice of the old man came from my phone, and I had never heard my father's voice so tired and heavy as it was at this time. I couldn't help but think of the way he usually looked in front of me. I wiped away a handful of tears and focused on listening.
"If you can hear, Daddy, I should have already gone to see your grandfather, don't be sad, this is your life. I'm gone, you still have your two uncles and aunts, you will have a good time in Beijing in the future, don't think about anything. The person who gave you the phone is not a good thing, you give him the thing he wants, and then a fire burns down the old house, you remember for me, after worshipping your grandfather, don't go back for the rest of your life. And "
At this point, the loud metal thump rang out again, and then I heard a sound like a rock collapsing. I tensed even harder, and waited more than a minute before I heard my dad coughing violently.
"Ahem dog, ahem Yuan Jie, your father has thought about it for a long time, I think I still have to tell you something, Lao Tzu is a tomb robber, your grandfather, and your ancestors are all in this business. I don't want to continue this kind of thing with you, so I didn't dare to tell you anything all these years, but it finally kept you away from these things. And one more important thing."
At this time, the voice of the kid next to him came from the phone. "Sixth Master Yuan, there's no time, if you say again, we're going to die together."
"Okay, anyway, your uncle will remind you, Yuan Jie"
Daddy's voice was instantly drowned out by the loud crash, and then, in the midst of a rock collapsing, the recording was cut off.
There was a dead silence around me, and I even felt a little uncomfortable, but the damn reality seemed to curse me, telling me: Your father is dead, and this is his last words.
"No, it can't be, it can't be you!" My eyes widened and I stared at the kid, "It's you!" You lied to me! You lied to me! ”
Seeing that I was about to pounce, Lao Tan hugged me. "Yuan Jie, calm down, first, listen to what this kid has to say."
After a moment of rage, I felt weak, as if every muscle was out of control, and I sat down on the ground.
"Young Master of the Yuan family, this, this really has nothing to do with me, I am just exploring the way, the situation at that time was too complicated, no one could do anything"
I didn't know what he was talking about, and my head still echoed with Daddy's worst voice. Peanut was the calmest of the few now, and he walked over to the kid and crouched down.
"Listen to your Wu Nong's soft language is from Suzhou, what is your name?"
"I don't have a name, and the people on the road call me 'Eight-tone Mouse'."
Peanut nodded, "Since you were with Master Yuan at the time, why did you escape the only one who escaped after that?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately got up from the ground as well. "That's right, what are you the only one who is back? Isn't that right, you must have done something to my dad with that guy called Earth Dog! ”
"Eh, this, this can't wronged me, although I have two hits, but compared to Yuan Liuye's ability, I am really a mouse."
I didn't bother to listen to him flattering my dad there, "Then what do you say is going on?" ”
The mouse glanced at us with a gloomy look, "I was able to escape from that place because I would shrink my bones." ”
"Shrinking bones?" Old Tan tilted his nose, "You can find a better reason for the to lie, when we are all stupid, right?" ”
The mouse didn't answer, but his body suddenly moved. His movements were very strange, as if the joints of his whole body were falling off together, making a clicking sound, which made Lao Tan's eyes straight. After less than ten seconds, the whole person curled up into a ball of flesh the size of half of his body, while his two hands were lying on the ground, walking in place with great agility.
"It's really a shrunken bone." I don't know if this is the first time Lao Tan has been stunned tonight. I also saw that my eyes were straight.
Soon, the rat shook his body again, and returned to its original state before our eyes, and his face was not without pride.
"We're asking you what happened, if you like to show off, I'll lock you up in the cellar later, for three years and five years, you can continue to cultivate in it, and when you practice to the point where you can shrink yourself to the size of an ant, maybe you will be able to come out."
Peanut's words seemed to be ridiculous, but the murderous aura that loomed in those eyes was a fatal warning to the mouse.
"Eh, I said, I'll explain it all. In fact, I'm really a miscellaneous, the earth dog has a good relationship with our boss, the boss asked me to help the earth dog master when they go to the ground, when the sixth master followed me, that trip was simply dangerous, but you also know that they will definitely not let me outsiders see the real guy, outside the cemetery, the gang let me wait outside, but I waited for a full three days. I thought something had happened to a few people inside, so I wanted to run away, but as soon as I left, the tomb seemed to explode, so where would I dare to delay any longer. However, when I ran back, I found that "when I said this, the mouse's eyes began to tremble."
"Say it quickly." We were all very impatient, so Lao Tan urged him.
"I found that when I came, the tomb road turned into three, I was so scared that I was stupid, at this time, Yuan Liuye ran out of the tomb, he was very panicked at that time, his whole body was bleeding, as if he was bitten by something, that miserable"
My eyes became wet when I heard this, and Peanut said, "We don't want to know about this for the time being, and talk about the rest of the matter." ”
"Later, I discussed it with the sixth master, and felt that the tomb road on both sides was a way to obstruct the eyes, so I chose the tomb road in the middle, but as soon as I walked, I found that the road in front was wrong, and we actually walked to a side room. The side room was so big, we were all stupid. At this time, I heard a group of women crying on the way to come, the sixth master said that the thing was catching up, and pulled me to run to a side door in the side room, and those things were chasing behind, I was so scared that I urinated, I didn't dare to look back, and it was dark all around, and we ran behind a big iron door, and I didn't know what kind of mechanism the road was, and the door was closed as soon as we entered. Taking a candle to shine, there was a half-dug tunnel inside the iron gate, and the sixth master and I thought we were saved, so we ran into the stone cave. At this time, those things caught up, and they slammed the door vigorously, those things that I don't know what the road was, and the strength was so great that the iron door twenty centimeters thick was almost cracked by them. Of course, we could only run into the Yongdao, but the Yongdao became narrower and narrower, and soon, the sixth master would not be able to go any further. Later, you will know the way, the sixth master recorded the audio, let me bring it out. ”
After the rat finished speaking, I stayed for a long time. I can't understand the tomb robbery, and I don't know how I should react, the only thing that is clear is the feeling of powerlessness in my heart.
Peanut suddenly smiled, "You said that Master Yuan asked you to take your phone out?" This is Master Yuan's idea? ”
After hearing this, the mouse immediately began to avoid Peanut's gaze.
"And what do you want to get in this old mansion?" Peanut pressed step by step, "Do you want me to answer for you?" In fact, this idea was thought of by you, Master Yuan just wanted to leave a few last words for his son after the last day, and you took this opportunity to ask Master Yuan to hand over that thing to you, you said that you were just doing miscellaneous things, but I don't think you seem to know a lot of things. ”
The "I" mouse was speechless at the time.
"My ancestor, my father is dying, and you still want to hold him hostage! Lao Tzu killed you! "I immediately stepped forward and kicked the kid.
He was kicked aside by me and made a gesture begging for mercy, "Young Master Yuan, I, I can't help it, if I can't do that, my boss will definitely let me die an ugly death when I turn around, don't fight, I'll say it all." ”
I gritted my teeth fiercely and bit the skin of my mouth before I could hold back the breath in my heart.
"Actually, our boss doesn't really want to help the dog, but wants to take something from the tomb, I don't know what it is, the name of that thing is 'Blue Blood Dragon Pattern', my boss doesn't know what the reason is, I really want to get this thing, at the beginning of the country in the crazy like digging tombs, but there was no result, and then I learned that Lu Dao that thing may be in a certain king's tomb in Sichuan, so I let me take it. When I came, our boss said, 'When you come back to see me, you will either hold the blue blood dragon pattern, or you will carry your head', babbling, Allah is really forced to do this, I know that I am sorry for the sixth master, but please spare me for the sake of my life." ”
Peanut stopped me with his hand and asked, "What does the thing in the Yuan family's old mansion have to do with the blue-blooded dragon pattern?" ”
The mouse blinked his eyes and held back a few tears, "At first, I didn't know what to say, then, when they entered the tomb, I actually didn't stay where I was, but followed in, but I only saw the earth dog and the sixth master arguing there, what did the earth dog say?" The key must be there', forcing the sixth master to take it out, and then I was discovered by the sixth master, I thought it was going to suffer, but at that time the tomb exploded, billowing smoke, and the earth dog didn't know what was swept away, and the sixth master took me to escape, and then the thing was what I said before. ”
"Hey, who the still believes you?" Old Tan took a sip.
Peanut suddenly smiled deeply, staring at the mouse and couldn't help but tremble.
"I believe in you." Peanut said softly, "Not only do I trust you, but I also want to help you get the key back to the Blue Blood Dragon Pattern." ”
