When I woke up the next day, Zhao Wang had already come to work, and when he saw me going downstairs, he immediately greeted me warmly and asked, "Brother Evil, have you had breakfast, I was just going to buy it." "He just graduated from college, is in his early twenties, has the unique vitality of a young man, and he doesn't call me boss, he calls me and Wang Meng brother.
After thinking about it all night, I still felt that I was going to check the address of the third uncle, but I was really hungry after a busy night, so I asked Zhao Wang to buy breakfast, and he bought two bowls of hot wontons and packed them in plastic boxes. It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and there are basically no people on the street, so I sat with him on the wooden table and was eating wontons, and he suddenly said: "Brother Evil, Brother Wang called last night and said that your phone has been turned off, let me tell you that everything is going well with what you asked him to do." ”
I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that it was out of battery, and it had already been automatically turned off. After more than a year of training, Wang Meng has already started the handicap things, and the people left by my side are the longest with him, and he can only trust him.
I nodded, drank the last bite of the wonton, and found that Zhao Wang on the other side had even drunk the soup base, sure enough, the young man had a good appetite, and I found that he had been staring at me, so he said, "Do you have something to say to me?" Let's talk about it first, don't talk about a salary increase. ”
Zhao Wang smiled and said, "No, didn't I see that your two dark circles are too eye-catching, boss, didn't you sleep well last night, shouldn't it be haunted?" ”
I saw that this kid had been getting bolder and bolder recently, so I said with a black face: "My Wu Xie name was taken for nothing?" With me, no demons or monsters can come. Zhao Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "But I've heard that places like antique shops are the easiest to attract ghosts." I found out that something was wrong with this kid today, I had never seen him discuss this topic in normal times, and today he talked more and more energetically, and I couldn't help but wonder: "What are you crazy about?" ”
Zhao Wang grabbed the broken bangs in front of his forehead, smashed his mouth, and said: "Evil brother, the night you just left a few days ago, I closed the door and went home, and halfway through I remembered that I forgot to bring my mobile phone, so I went back to get my mobile phone, but I heard the sound of a thunderbolt on the second floor, as if someone was turning things over again......" He swallowed nervously, I was shocked, knocked on the table quietly, and said calmly: "And then?" ”
Zhao Wang saw that I didn't have any expression, so he said: "I thought I had recruited a thief, so I picked up the hardcore cat that locked the door and went upstairs, but as soon as the light was turned on, there was no one, and everything was intact. I took a sip of soup, knocked Zhao Wang's head, gave him a blank look, and said, "Damn, I've met it, I've met it when I'm dreaming." ”
Zhao Wang rubbed his head and muttered, "I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." ”
I naturally believe his words, but I don't think it's a ghost, it seems that things are more complicated than I imagined, as soon as I left, the family was 'thief', and this thief can hide in an instant, and he hasn't taken anything, what is he looking for?
I suddenly had a spirit, and the hand holding the soup spoon couldn't help but tremble, and instantly thought of something - ghost seal! I don't know if Zhao Wang has noticed that something is wrong with me, if it was before, I would definitely rush upstairs immediately, but now I don't dare, it's not that I don't believe Zhao Wang, but what I have experienced over the years has made me understand that you can't be seen through by others at any time, otherwise the more you want to protect something, the faster you lose it.
After drinking the last sip of soup, I wiped my mouth, squinted and yawned, turned around and went upstairs, Zhao Wang asked in the back, "Evil brother, aren't you going out?" I gave him a roll of the eye and said, "So early, should I go out to walk the birds?" Zhao Wang was speechless, and when he reacted, I had already gone upstairs.
As soon as I reached the second floor, my lazy body immediately stiffened, and when I rushed into the room, I locked the door, and then closed the curtains, and the whole room instantly became dark.
On a row of bookshelves against the wall, there is a pen holder, on which are bolted some brushes of various models, I took off one of the fine golden wolves, the place of the pen is engraved with patterns, open the top of the book, the shelf behind the book reveals a small hole, the pen head is stuffed in, only to hear the card erase, then there is a sound of the operation of the mechanism, the back of the bookcase to the side to reveal a dark grid in the wall.
This shop was given to me by the third uncle, there was this secret grid when it was designed, over the years, I put valuable things in it, and now there is only one thing wrapped in a yellow cloth in this dark grid, I see that the thing is still there, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if this thing is lost, I immediately rushed out to jump the West Lake. Not to mention that it is worth hundreds of millions, I still have to rely on it to open the door in just ten years, and this thing cannot be lost.
After closing the secret compartment again, I went downstairs and silently read the address on the letter: 303, Building 1, Old Dormitory, Nanwei Road. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Zhao Wang asked strangely: "Evil brother, aren't you not going out?" I glanced back at him and said lightly, "Walk the bird." ”
Zhao Wang picked it up all of a sudden, and said, "Evil brother, take me." I scolded, "Take you, my shop doesn't have to open?" Zhao Wang smiled and said, "It hasn't opened for half a month, it's not bad for this day." "I thought about it, Zhao Wang's rented house happened to be in the south tail section, and he could save some trouble with him, so I asked him to close the store and told him the address.
When the two of us arrived at Nanwei Road, it was already about 12 o'clock, this area is the old area, and most of the people living in it are migrant workers, Zhao Wang asked: "Brother evil, do you want to go to my house to sit." ”
I said, "What are you doing at your house?" Big-eyed staring? Hurry up and find your way. Zhao Wang said that he knew the road, and followed him for half an hour, and the road became more and more deviant, and I was a little skeptical that this kid was trying to make money and kill him, so he asked, "How long is it?" ”
Zhao Wang stopped and said, "It's here." "We're in the ruins, full of broken cement slabs, and the only thing standing in the rubble is an old building with cracked walls, and I pointed to the building in disbelief and said, "It? Zhao Wang nodded and said, "If it's a few days late, it will be the same as what you are underfoot." ”
Shaking my head, I asked Zhao Wang to wait for me downstairs, and entered the old building alone.
The stairs at my feet were old gray and white, the corridor was dimly lit, the house had long since moved away, and now there was only one empty building left, so I went straight to the third floor, counted the numbers painted green on the walls, and finally stopped in front of door 303.
There is no iron door, it is the old-fashioned kind of wooden door, the imprint on the door is mottled, the foreskin has fallen off a lot, I reached out and pushed, the door is locked, this old wooden door, there is only one lock inside, it belongs to the kind of anti-gentleman and not against the villain, I directly stretched out my legs and kicked a few feet, the shock of my legs and feet were numb, kicked to the third foot, the whole door was kicked open, a dull smell came to the surface.
The electricity in the corridor has been completely cut off, the entire corridor is dim, and the room in front of me is even darker, I can't see my fingers, I subconsciously took a step back, and the bad memories of the previous Golmud sanatorium came out, and I couldn't help but have goosebumps on my arms.
I haven't been scared by myself before I go in, the more I think about it, the more I scold myself in my heart, so I walked into the room with a lighter, and subconsciously looked at the roof, fortunately, there is no forbidden woman, nothing.
I noticed that there were heavy curtains on the other side, so I immediately opened the curtains, and the sunlight outside the window instantly shone into the room, and the originally gloomy room was warmed by the midday sun.
The uneasiness in my heart instantly settled, and then I began to look at this house, it was a single room, there was a row of bookcases by the wall by the door, in front of the bookcase was a table table, and an iron bed was placed opposite, and the things in the tables and chairs were all tattered, I couldn't imagine that the third uncle had lived in such a place for a while.
Then I began to search the house, and the layout of the whole room was clear at a glance, and there was no place to hide anything, and I searched through the drawers and bookcases, and I found nothing in a layer of dust.
Pacing around the room, I was somewhat dismayed to find that there were no clues left, and my eyes fell on the table. On it was a dusty map of China, the kind that was coated with film, and although it was covered with dust, it could be seen by wiping it.
I took a book, tore the first two blank pages, wiped the map, and found that there was a line drawn on the map.
The opening of the line is in Sichuan, forming an arc, straight across Qinghai and Xinjiang, I was shocked, the trend of this line is obviously the general trend of the Kunlun Mountains, is it really me to be right? Before the third uncle left, he had been studying the topographic map of Kunlun Mountain?
Suppressing the shock in my heart, I carefully observed this map again, the ratio of this map is larger, and it is a three-dimensional map effect, which belongs to a more professional topographic map, which is generally bought by professional tourists, and the price is relatively expensive.
The whole map is more than a meter wide, the mountains and rivers on it are marked, and there are remarks next to the artificially drawn lines, because the map has been coated, the pen and ink on it are not easy to preserve, I can not see what was originally written by a wipe, only the traces of writing, I hurriedly opened the drawer, I want to see if I can find a pencil, copy the notes out, as a result, just together, the whole back of the head suddenly came a sharp pain, and the brain was chaotic for a while, when I fell, I saw the second uncle dressed in a Tibetan Tang suit, frowning at me.
