Chapter 3: The Second Uncle's Secret
In addition, the second uncle said that after the house was built, the grandfather's grandfather did the construction by himself for a long time, which corroborated the previous situation, and it is very likely that the underground secret room was secretly built in order to avoid people's eyes.
At this point, I became interested in the secret room of the ancestral house, and I was determined to find a way to go in and have a look!
The second uncle on the side was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't your second uncle come?" ”
I was shocked, could it be that the second uncle planned to ask the second uncle Xingshi who was absent from the ancestor worship for no reason, so I hurriedly defended the second uncle, "Ah, my second uncle is suddenly a little anxious, and he is in the field, and he really can't get away from it for a while." Otherwise, he would have come! ”
The second uncle nodded, "Speaking of which, your father has several brothers, your second uncle has lived in the ancestral mansion for the longest time, and he has lived here for several years after your grandfather's death, and even now he comes back from time to time." ”
I also understand what the second uncle said, among the five brothers and sisters of my father, the second uncle and my grandfather have the deepest relationship.
The second uncle paused and then said: "Your second uncle used to be a master who was not shocking and never stopped, and he did the same thing!" I thought that after your grandfather left, he would also fly away, but I didn't expect him to be able to stay here for so many years. ”
I smiled, "It seems that when my second uncle was young, he did a lot of things out of the ordinary?" ”
The second uncle nodded, "That's not it!" Just when your grandfather just died, your second uncle didn't keep the spirit, nor did he talk about the future, he picked up his bag and was about to leave. We were all stupid to stop him and go for him, guess what he said? ”
I shook my head, and the second uncle smiled bitterly and said, "He said he was going to bring your grandfather back!" Everyone thought that this kid was sad and overhysterical, but they couldn't stop him! ”
When the second uncle talked about this, it seemed to be telling a joke, but when I heard it, I chuckled in my heart, thinking of the experience I had just experienced in that strange Shan Huan ancient country, I knew very well in my heart what the second uncle meant by bringing my grandfather back! But at the same time, I had a lot of doubts in my heart, could it be that at the beginning, the second uncle knew the meaning and peculiar role of that place? If this is really the case, then what is the real purpose of his entry into the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom this time?
At this time, my heart had already begun to turn over the river, and the second uncle didn't notice my expression, and then said: "As long as your second uncle recognizes the right thing, the eight cows can't pull it back, so you have an idea!" ”
I took a deep breath, calmed down, and pretended to be casual and asked, "What about later?" ”
The second uncle smiled, "Later, I really couldn't stop him, I was in a hurry, I went up and gave him a big mouth, and scolded: 'You bastard boy! What madness! Your dad is lying here, find another one, can it be your father?! I really explained him in these two sentences, and he was honest at once. ”
I nodded blankly and looked at the second uncle blankly, "Second uncle, your words are really to the point!" "Something similar, we said it in the Fountain of Life below the Ancient King City of Shanhuan, and that's why I blew up the waterhole.
The second uncle thought I was praising him, so he took a sip of wine happily. And I fell into deep thought, the second uncle would know so clearly. If it was the information brought out by the four great families entering the royal city twenty years ago, then it would be easy to understand, the problem is that the four major families failed back then, and they failed to pass through the royal tomb, nor did they find the fountain of life. So where did the second uncle know all this, did he really ...... A flash of lightning flashed through my head, the picture in Sadiq's hand!
We did doubt the authenticity of Sadiq's photos at the beginning, and we also speculated that he was bought by the Tang family, but now it seems that things are definitely much more complicated than we imagined!
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I thought that the departure of the second uncle would take away a lot of secrets and everything. But now it seems that the secrets left behind seem even more intricate!
I thought about it for a while, so I asked my second uncle, "Then later, did my second uncle do anything other strange things?" ”
The second uncle had already eaten half a glass of wine at this time, and when he heard my question, he smiled and waved his hand, "He, since he was young, he likes to tinker with strange things, do you know, once he actually brought back a lamp that can change color, and another time, he ......"
I saw that the second uncle was a little drunk and couldn't stop talking, so I hurriedly stopped him, "Second uncle, do you think about the time after my grandfather's death, did the second uncle do anything strange?" ”
"This," the second uncle frowned and thought for a while, "It seems that no, after your grandfather died, your second uncle's temper also changed a lot, and after living in the ancestral house for a while, he left." ”
I nodded a little disappointed, and just wanted to get up and leave to find a place to be quiet.
Suddenly, the second uncle grabbed me, "Hey! By the way, I remember, it's really a strange thing for you to say that. ”
"What's it!" I hurriedly sat down again.
The second uncle leaned into my ear and whispered, "Two days before your second uncle left, he lived in the Zhuo family's graveyard for two days!" ”
"Huh?" I can't believe it, although the second uncle said that he was upside down, it was impossible to even fall his own family's tomb!
The second uncle said even more mysteriously: "Only I know about this matter, and I didn't say it to anyone!" ”
I looked at my second uncle who was a little drunk, and said in my heart that this old man wouldn't have drunk too much, so make up a story about tomb robbery and shake me. However, the Zhuo family's lineage is the secret of the Faqiu descendants, and the other Zhuo family members don't know it. So I asked, "Second uncle, how did you see it?" ”
The second uncle sighed, "I was born with weak gastrointestinal function, and it has been chronic enteritis for many years, the older I get, the less I sleep, the more I don't sleep, the more I want to go to the toilet, and it just so happened that at that time my house was flipped, and the toilet was demolished, so I could only go to the toilet in the village in the middle of the night." You know this kind of thing like chronic enteritis, pull it out ......"
I couldn't stand it, and I put up with the chatter before, after all, I was old, but then I even had to describe the in detail, I really couldn't listen to it anymore, grabbed the wine glass and handed it to the second uncle's mouth, "Hey! Ay! Second uncle, take a sip of wine and moisten your throat. ”
The second uncle took the wine glass, and I quickly asked, "Second uncle, you saw my second uncle at that time?" "I want to skip this topic and get to the main thing.
The second uncle swallowed the wine unhurriedly, and then said: "My chronic enteritis is ......."
I suddenly felt a wave of despair in my heart, I can't hide from it, can I! I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ......and then listened, "It's been the middle of the night when I came out of the toilet, and I accidentally saw a flashlight flashing on the way into the mountain, and I didn't care about it at first, thinking that maybe I was dizzy and misunderstood." But on second thought, maybe not. You know that because of my family's construction of a house, the old Li Toufei next door said that I occupied a foot of his family's homestead and asked me to rebuild it. Can I listen to you? Whoever dares to stop me, I will take a stick and slap him......"
I couldn't hold back the hovering resentment in my head, and insisted on listening, and the second uncle continued: "This old Li Tou actually threatened to demolish my ancestral grave!" So when I saw the flashlight that entered the mountain, I said to myself that this old boy would not really go to the ancestral grave in our mountain! So, I followed, I followed all the way to the cemetery, and by the moonlight, I saw that the person was actually your second uncle, who was kneeling on the ground to offer incense to your grandfather. I was a little strange at the time, I had never worshiped the dead at night, and I wanted to ask, but I also had a filial piety to remember your second uncle, and I couldn't bear to bother after thinking about it. And I wasn't an outsider, so I went down the mountain with peace of mind. It wasn't until I got up early the next day that I saw your second uncle coming down from the mountain. On the same night, your second uncle should have gone again, although I don't know when he went up, but another day later, when I went out at that time in the morning, I saw your second uncle coming down from the mountain again. So I guess he stayed in the cemetery for two days, and after that, your second uncle left here and went to the pharmacy in the city. ”
After listening to the words of the second uncle, I had some difficulty understanding the behavior of the second uncle, even if he wanted to pay tribute to his grandfather, it should not be this way, anyone does everything for a purpose, and the second uncle is no exception. Moreover, the second uncle can deceive the elderly second uncle, but he can't deceive me, with my understanding of the second uncle, he must have discovered the second uncle who followed him early, and knelt down to worship the grandfather, it must be just a trick for the second uncle to see. His real purpose must be to wait for the second uncle to leave, but what is it?
I didn't expect to come back this time and find so many strange things, could it be that behind the Zhuo family itself, there are still secrets hidden that I don't know at all. I decided to investigate first, starting with the underground crypt of the ancestral house that I found today!
After the ancestor worship activity was completely over, my father planned to go back, but I couldn't go, so I made a temporary appointment with a few brothers of the family, we rarely saw each other once a year, and we were very happy to meet, so I made an appointment to go out in the afternoon and evening to play. Since my father saw that I had an appointment, he didn't force me to go back, and after telling me to be careful, he took the car home by himself.
In the evening, after everyone had eaten, two older brothers who lived in the same village invited me to stay at their house for the night, and I deduced that there was something to do during the day tomorrow and I had to rush back. I was worried about the secret room, and I wanted to get out quickly, so my attitude was very resolute, and they couldn't resist me, so I had to give me a car to take me home, the county where my hometown is located, from the city where I live, about forty minutes by car, speaking of which the transportation is convenient now, and it is not very troublesome to go back and forth.
But I got in the car, and after the taxi turned a few corners, I beckoned the driver to stop, threw down the ten dollars, and got out of the car. Turn around and walk in the direction of the village.
