Chapter 13: Letters

Tofu exclaimed, "Damn." I saw what was wrapped in the cloth, and I was stunned for a moment. This cloth wrap should be specially made, with ropes on both sides, which can be tied to the wrists or feet, and there are many hidden buckles next to it, and there are a silver shiny throwing knives inserted in it!

Tofu said: "Good girl, this is the flying knife used by Old Man Chen, strange, doesn't it say that the flying knife is red?" ”

I recovered from the shock and explained, "The original color of the knife is this color, and it will only turn red when it is quenched with poison. "There are two cloth wraps, which can be tied to the left and right hands respectively, and when the sleeves are put down, they cannot be detected at all, and each cloth is wrapped in nine throwing knives, adding up to a total of eighteen.

As the cloth wrapped and shook open, a long-length azure porcelain bottle fell out of it, and because it fell from a height, the porcelain bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and a pungent red liquid flowed out of it, presumably a poison used to quench the knife.

I took this thing from Tofu's hand and thought, "Is this what Grandpa and Chen Ci used back then?" Thinking of this, a strange feeling rose in my heart, and I couldn't help but tie them to my wrists, fortunately, the rope can be adjusted, the size is right, very firm, when using it, the fingers move slightly, open the hidden buckle, and the flying knife will slide down the wrist, the design is simple but very practical.

There was nothing else on the stick, so I pulled out the notebook and continued to check its contents.

But said that grandpa, Ma Popi and Skinny Chicken, the three of them left Yunnan, but they didn't expect that a strange thing also followed them.

On the way back, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the three of them inevitably stayed overnight, and in the evening, they spent the night next to a yellow mud road that was inaccessible. Qiu Da's stunned body was cremated directly in the vertical cave tomb, and those who dig mushrooms and die in the tomb cannot be considered unjust. A few people stayed overnight on the dirt road where few vehicles were visited, roasted and eaten game, and took turns to rest the vigil.

That night, my grandfather was guarding the first half of the night, and after the changing of the guard, he was exhausted, and fell asleep, and when he was halfway through his sleep, he suddenly heard a bang, and his grandfather was very cautious, and immediately opened his eyes, and he was awake most of the time. When I opened my eyes, it was a skinny chicken on the night watch, walking around.

Grandpa didn't make a sound, didn't move, and even breathed less.

Why did he do it? Because he had seen before that the skinny walked in an abnormal posture, a bit like a thief, hunched back, bent knees, open hands, walking slowly step by step. Is he stealing something? Grandpa was a little puzzled, and said in his heart: This time the upside down, Ma Popi and the skinny chicken brought a lot of gems, could it be that the skinny chicken wants to eat black?

This is unlikely, because the gems in the vertical cave tomb can be stuffed with two equipment bags, and the skinny chicken can take as many as he wants at that time, so why bother to eat black now? Furthermore, does the skinny chicken have the courage to eat the skin of the horse and himself? Where did he get his confidence? Grandpa felt that something was wrong, in this case, it shouldn't be eating black, so what did he want to do?

So grandpa pretended to continue sleeping, squinting at the skinny chicken's every move, at this moment, the skinny chicken turned around, just with his back to grandpa, through the bonfire that was almost extinguished, grandpa suddenly saw that on the back of the skinny chicken's head, there was a fox face!

Grandpa breathed in fright, and his breath suddenly became disordered, and this disorder seemed to arouse the vigilance of the thin chicken, and he turned around violently and stared at Grandpa viciously. Before, Grandpa only saw the side face of the skinny chicken, but now that he was facing it, he found that the muscles on the skinny chicken's face were very strange, as if he was forcibly pulled, like a patient with facial paralysis.

Immediately afterwards, the chicken came over to Grandpa, his eyes were vicious, and he still maintained his previous posture, and Grandpa realized that he was not stealing anything, but looking for a target, like a wandering zombie. Grandpa shouted: "Brother Ma, get up quickly!" As he spoke, a fierce carp struck.

The skinny chicken had already arrived in front of the grandfather, and the carp straightened up, and his legs immediately kicked on the legs of the skinny chicken. The skinny chicken's legs were bent after being kicked, and he fell to the ground on his knees, his head down, and the things on the back of his head were suddenly exposed more clearly in front of his grandfather's eyes.

At that time, Grandpa didn't know what it was, but later found out that this thing was a kind of primitive shaman totem, transliterated as: Hu Yu Duo.

Seeing this, Tofu gasped and said, "It's the one that Zhen Rui has encountered, something that can make people grow out of the soil." ”

I nodded, shocked in my heart, how did this Huduo come about? Now it seems that the thing came out of the tomb of the Queen of the Treasure Elephant, and came out with Grandpa. Eighty percent is in the tomb, and it is already attached to the skinny chicken. According to legend, the purification and rebirth represented by Hu Duo, the thin chicken is not right, and among the three, it is the one who attracts Yu Duo the most, and it is not surprising that that thing will be attached to him.

Grandpa didn't know what it was at the time, and when he looked at the face that looked like a fox, he felt a sense of evil penetrate the bottom of his heart, and the fox face suddenly fell off the back of the thin's head, and pounced straight at Grandpa.

Grandpa was shocked, and he didn't have time to retreat, but it happened that the horse next to him woke up in time, and pushed his grandfather at the last moment, so he didn't let grandpa get hit.

The situation at that time was extremely chaotic, and neither Grandpa nor Ma Popi were fuel-efficient lamps, so naturally they tried their best to deal with this thing, and it took a lot of effort to trap it with a wooden box. And this wooden box is locked in the coffin in front of us.

The old man has the habit of preparing longevity for himself, grandpa was old at the time, and the old people in the same village have purchased longevity, but he did not have it, it is inevitable that people will say, grandpa has been digging graves and robbing graves all his life, and he has already looked down on life and death, so he saw the coffin as a scene.

At that time, the two of them grabbed the thing, but the skinny chicken was already foaming at the mouth and was in shock, according to the current medical technology, it could be rescued, but at that time, the three of them were in a deserted place, so the skinny chicken went like that. Ma Popi's anger can be imagined, he said: "I don't care what it is, water and fire are ruthless, even a thousand-year-old zongzi can't stand the fire, I want to burn it." ”

As soon as he said this, the wooden box that was held by his grandfather trembled violently, as if the contents could understand human speech, and when he learned that someone was going to burn it, he was anxious to break free.

Grandpa is also selfish, although he didn't know what it was at the time, but vaguely felt that he had seen that thing somewhere, grandpa has always been very serious about his intuition, so he said: "This thing will be handed over to me first, don't worry, I will make it look good." Ma Popi knew his grandfather's temper, so he had to give up, and he fell ill in anger that night, and his grandfather couldn't, so he could only send Ma Popi home, and take care of it next to him, Ma Popi lingered on the sick bed for more than half a month, and only returned to his hometown after he was complete.

It was that time that I met Ma Popi.

When my grandfather came home, he mainly studied two things, one was the bowl and the other was the wooden box. The things in the wooden box are very smart, once they are released, it is not easy to capture them, and grandpa is in a dilemma for a while. At the same time, he finally remembered why he thought the fox's face was familiar, because he had seen a stone statue that resembled this thing on the outskirts of the tomb of the Giant Ear King.

Eventually, Grandpa decided to leave it alone for the time being, as it wasn't a priority, so he dug the hole, put it in the coffin, and used the hole to study the bowl.

What is so special about it that it can be buried with the Queen of the Elephants?

In the process of research, grandpa finally made a breakthrough, he found that the bottom of this bowl is very thick, thick and a little abnormal, grandpa thought, could it be that there is something hidden in it? Thinking of this, he took his tools, chiseled the bottom of the bowl, and sure enough, he found a silk cloth, and the silk book was drawn on a map.

Since the silk book had become very fragile, Grandpa only had to copy it with a parchment scroll, and it was unknown what was hidden in the destination of the map.

Tofu said: "I said, this is a treasure map, you said, your grandfather disappeared later, could it be a treasure hunt?" ”

I said: "Don't talk nonsense, my grandfather doesn't like to fight backwards, he has this ability, if he really wants to get rich, he would have made it a long time ago, how can he go to find any treasure." I followed the notes and looked down, and suddenly I realized that there was a letter glued to the back.

The paper was a little yellowed, because it was glued to the paper, so I didn't notice it before.

Who wrote this letter?

Tofu stared at the words on the letter and said, "This handwriting is really beautiful, hey, the payment is a white letter, is it Bai Laosi?" ”

I chuckled in my heart, and looked down the letter, which began with a limerick:

Huangquan River, Yin Si Stream, has always been here, out of life and death;

Waiting for you in the treasure hall of Yashan Mountain, when you help get out of trouble, September 17, the tengu points the way, and does not wait for the obscurity.

The date of the inscription is August 23, 1999.

I stared at these few lines, and my nerves swelled, and I remembered that day, when my grandfather suddenly left. When I was thirteen, my grandfather said to me, "I'm going out for a while, you're already a little man, and during this time when your grandfather is away, you have to take care of yourself, and if you have anything, ask your neighbors for help." "There is a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and in the countryside, this phenomenon is more common.

Grandpa said to me again: "Come back this time, we can live a good life, and grandpa will take you back to the city to live." "I was young at the time, so I didn't notice that my grandfather was using Hui Zi instead of Go Zi.

There were cars, high-rise buildings, and all kinds of fun things in the city, so I was naturally looking forward to it and sent my grandfather to the entrance of the village, but since then, he has never returned.

White.

Who does this white letter refer to?
