Volume 5 The Mystery of Life_Chapter 20 A knock at the door in the middle of the night
The photo is black and white, and the corners of the photo have turned dark yellow, indicating that the era is long gone.
There are five old men in the photo, all of them are old, the other four are standing, only my grandfather is sitting, all five of them are looking ahead, but there is no expression on their faces, as if they were reluctant to take this photo, and they were forced to take it together.
"Xiaolong, do you know the person in this photo? I see your eyeballs are about to fall out! Seeing that I stared at the photo directly, and didn't react for a long time, Jin Dianlong felt curious, glanced at the photo again, and said suspiciously: "It's just five old men, and it's not five fruit girls, you don't need to stare so big in your eyes, right?" ”
Then I pointed to my grandfather, who was sitting in the middle, and whispered, "This person is my grandfather!" ”
Jin Dianlong's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at my grandfather in the photo, then at me, and stammered, "You, are you sure?" ”
"This is my grandfather, and it's none other than anyone else, of course I'm sure." I let out a long sigh and shook my head vigorously, "Xiaolong, why do I think that this Wanxiang Street seems to be related to our family?" You see, in front of me is my uncle's bones, my father's, and then the person who brought us here is like my third uncle, and here I see a group photo of my grandfather...... What does this mean? ”
Jin Dianlong looked at me straight for a long time, and then said, "It means that the people of your family want to gather here?" ”
After saying that, he shuddered suddenly.
I shuddered, too!
The reason why both of us shivered was because I felt that what Jin Dianlong said was ...... It could be true!
I suddenly thought of another question, turned my head and asked Jin Dianlong, "I entered the cave just now, and on the mural I saw on the cave wall, it said that there were a few people who helped the people in the village kill the ghosts that invaded the village, do you remember, how many people are there?" ”
Jin Dianlong first shook his head, then his eyes suddenly lit up, pointing to my grandfather and the five old men in the photo, and shouted excitedly: "Fengzi, you mean, those people who helped the villagers kill the ghosts are the five old men in this photo...... Grandpa? ”
I nodded slowly.
This is just a bold speculation on my part, though!
The cave before entering Wanxiang Street is clearly an alienated temple, and most of the things recorded on the murals of the "temple" should be related to this Wanxiang Street.
"After finding the senior brother and them, ask how many people are on the mural, I'm afraid things will be clear." Jin Dianlong muttered again, going back and forth in the west room, "I'm just curious, where did that person run away, and where did this paper man come from, it's really fucking aggrieved, no one has ever dared to tease Xiao Ye like this!" ”
I put the photo close to my body and looked at him silently, "That person is probably my third uncle." ”
After seeing this photo, I became more and more sure that the person who led us into Wanxiang Street and led us here should be my third uncle.
Jin Dianlong hurriedly smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used grandson and turtle to describe your third uncle before, I shouldn't have scolded you together...... Fengzi, don't you want to find your third uncle and ask for a clear understanding? What can't he say to your own nephew, he has to run around, is there anyone in this Wanxiang Street......"
At this point, he suddenly paused.
Then, Jin Dianlong suddenly lowered his voice, "Your third uncle has been avoiding us, is it because there are still people on Wanxiang Street that he doesn't dare to come out?" ”
This time, he no longer said "that person", but directly said that it was my third uncle, and obviously believed in his heart that the person who had been leading us was my third uncle.
My heart sank suddenly: That's right, there may be someone else in Wanxiang Street, so my third uncle didn't dare to meet me face-to-face, but wanted to use this method to lead me to discover the truth of Wanxiang Street little by little, as well as the mystery of my life experience!
After a moment of silence, I went back and forth in the room looking for a possible hiding place for my third uncle.
If the spell of the Golden Palace Dragon is not wrong, then my third uncle must be in this west room, if we don't find him, then there is only one explanation - there are other mechanisms in this room, and my third uncle has hidden somewhere else, so we pounced!
In the following period, Jin Dianlong and I searched back and forth in the west room several times, and we didn't even let go of the kerosene lamp in the room, but we never found any place in this room to hide, or where it was a mechanism, let alone find any trace of my third uncle!
After looking for a while, Jin Dianlong was deflated first, and he threw himself directly on the bed, "Fengzi, if the two of us continue to look for it like this, and we haven't found your third uncle yet, the two of us will die of exhaustion first." Also, if you're hungry or not, I'm dying of hunger. Why don't we go to the kitchen and see if there's anything left? ”
Jin Dianlong's idea is not too strange, because this Wanxiang Street does give people the illusion that there are still people living here, and there should naturally be no shortage of food.
But this time we thought wrong, although this yard is cleaned up everywhere, there is food in the kitchen, but the food has long been rotten to ashes, and I can't even take it out, Jin Dianlong touched his stomach and smiled bitterly, "Anyway, the food in the kitchen looks quite in line with common sense, although I'm hungry, but if the food in this kitchen can still be eaten, I'm really scared to death." ”
I thought the same thing as Jin Dianlong, and although I was a little disappointed when I saw the food in the kitchen that had rotted to ashes, I also breathed a long sigh of relief...... In this Wanxiang Street, I finally found something that conforms to the convention, which shows that this place is really still in the yang world, which is not too outrageous!
We didn't find any food, and Jin Dianlong and I didn't think about going out to look for it, but we searched back and forth into several rooms in this courtyard, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, we finally found a clean room, symbolically cleaned the beds that looked clean and couldn't be cleaner, and lay down comfortably.
"Xiaolong, do you remember, the map in the hands of the senior brother has mountains and rivers, not only Wanxiang Street but also caves?" After lying down, it suddenly occurred to me that we had been fighting each other, and if the map on the cold man's body was related to the place of Wanxiang Street, it was definitely not only Wanxiang Street but also a cave.
Jin Dianlong sighed, nodded and said: "If you don't say it, I will forget the map in my brother's hand, yes, the place marked on the map is quite large, definitely not only as big as Wanxiang Street...... You say, could the map be marked under Wanxiang Street? ”
I didn't answer.
What Jin Dianlong said, it is very likely!
"If what Dangfu said is true, then there is a very good chance that there is a treasure under this Wanxiang Street, if our brothers find this treasure, they can take out a few things casually, and they can make a fortune and marry a daughter-in-law." Jin Dianlong suddenly thought that the reason why Wanxiang Street was so prosperous was because of the treasure, and he danced excitedly.
I smiled bitterly, "I don't know if there is a treasure, but I know that this place is quite evil, we haven't found Senior Brother and Su Su yet, whether you can go out or not is two words, you all dream of marrying a daughter-in-law!" ”
Jin Dianlong laughed, "I have a huge amount of money, and then marry a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower, this is the ultimate dream of my life." When I help my brother fulfill Master's last wish, and your side is settled, I will go to realize my ultimate dream in life. Don't tell me, you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Shi Xiaonan's beautiful face suddenly flashed in my mind, and I really wanted to ask Jin Dianlong, does he still like Su Su now, but after thinking about it, he and the cold man are like brothers, but I didn't expect him to like Su Su, Su Su likes the cold man, Su Su may have become a thorn in the heart of the Golden Palace Dragon, why should I pull it out?
Although the bedding lying under us is comfortable, in this kind of place, no matter how big our hearts are, we can't sleep all at once, so we just mess around for a long time.
Later, when I got tired, I said seriously, "Xiaolong, no matter whether I can find my background this time, or what my background is, I will send you and my senior brother out." ”
The Golden Palace Dragon was silent for a moment.
He was silent for a long time, and just when I thought he wouldn't say anything more, Jin Dianlong suddenly said, "A few nonsense!" ”
Then, the two of us were silent together, but my heart was full of emotion.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door......
This knock on the door sounded particularly clear in the dark, and the Golden Palace Dragon and I suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at the direction of the door together in horror!
", there is no one on this Wanxiang Street except for a few of us...... Could it be that your third uncle is knocking on the door outside? After the two of us sat up, neither of us immediately got off the kang, and Jin Dianlong muttered in a low voice.
In fact, we all know that the one knocking on the door outside will definitely not be my third uncle.
I still quietly got off the kang, and Jin Dianlong also followed me down the kang, opened the door of the room together, and tiptoed towards the gate!
Knock knock knock......
The people outside didn't seem to be able to wait, and they didn't stop knocking on the door in the slightest!
I exchanged glances with the Golden Palace Dragon, suddenly quickened my pace, rushed to the door, and opened the door at once!
