Chapter 21: Abnormal Nodes
Lantern Xiao poured me a glass of water, "Don't do this, maybe this matter is not too complicated, but there are still some things we don't know." ”
I nodded, "I have to get this straight!" With that, I got up and turned around to leave.
Lantern Xiao grabbed me and dragged me back to my seat. "Zhuo Ran, calm down, I understand your feelings, don't talk about you, when I first found out about this, I was really taken aback!" As she spoke, Lantern Xiao suddenly stared at me, but didn't speak.
I glared at him, "What are you doing, kid?" ”
Lantern Xiao frowned, "You won't really be dead, you're not talking to me now, you're not a person!" ”
"I'm your uncle!" I picked up the teacup and pretended to throw it over, "You're not human!" I'm annoyed now, don't mess with me! ”
Lantern Xiao smiled, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Don't worry, it's useless for you to be excited now, you said you go to figure it out, where do you go to figure it out? Now we should find a direction and figure out a clue before we can move on to the next step. ”
I had to admit that what Lantern Xiao said made sense, so I asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
Lantern Xiao pulled a chair and sat next to me, "In this way, let's take care of it first." Decide where to start. In this matter, I think let's first figure out a timeline and distinguish the chronological order. ”
I was a little confused, "What timeline?" What do you want to say? ”
Lantern Xiao continued: "In this way, if I give you an example, you will understand, is it the ancient tomb chamber that you found under your ancestral house?" ”
I nodded, "Yes! ”
Lantern Xiao continued to ask: "Then tell me, is there an ancient tomb first, or is there your ancestral house first?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense! Of course, there is an ancient tomb first! ”
Lantern Xiao tapped her fingers on the table, "Look, this is the order of these two events." Let's put all your discoveries and related things in chronological order, and then form what I call a timeline, so that we can find out which node on this axis has a problem, and our direction will be clear! ”
Although I was still a little confused about what I said about the Lantern Festival, it sounded quite reasonable, so I said, "Well, good! Just do as you say. ”
In this way, we sorted out the previous things, and finally summed up three strange nodes, first, of course, there is no doubt that it was about a few decades ago, and we can't judge the specific age, and suddenly Zhuo Chengyang's tablet appeared, and Zhuo Chengyang is my name on the family tree.
Second, after the death of the grandfather, why did the second uncle go to the ancestral grave to live for two days, which is indeed very abnormal.
Thirdly, and what I just discovered, according to Rensheng, on the day the ancestral house collapsed, he saw the black shadow that appeared under the wall of the ancestral house.
Regarding the third point, I focused on the discussion with Lantern Xiao, and we agreed that the collapse of the ancestral house was indeed a bit sudden. The reason why everyone thinks that the ancestral house collapsed because of the sinking foundation is because no one would think that there is an ancient tomb hidden under the ancestral house. Lantern Xiao and I knew that there was only one possibility for the ancestral house to collapse in a similar situation, and that was the collapse of the underground tomb.
However, we still know a little about the ancient tombs, including the last time I visited the ancient tombs, in fact, I saw that there were no problems with the internal structure of the tombs, at least in the next few decades. At this time, it suddenly collapsed, and someone must have done it on purpose. It should be the dark shadow that Rensheng saw.
I even think that the people who vandalized the tomb would destroy it after I found it, and the reason for this is even more intriguing.
In fact, there is another point, I didn't say it to Lantern Festival, there is a feeling in my heart that the black shadow I always feel may be the second uncle! I would think so, it is not unreasonable, the one who can enter the underground tomb smoothly must be the people of our Zhuo family, and the only person who is familiar with this situation is the second uncle. Could it be that the second uncle has been around all the time? This feeling suddenly made me feel crazy! Second uncle, what are you doing!
Lantern Xiao took a sip of tea, and then took a few sips of tea foam, "This broken tea is too much!" ”
I stretched, "Okay, young master, in our small place, you can just order!" ”
Lantern Xiao said, but still took a big sip, "How is it?" Having said all that, where to start? ”
I rubbed my forehead and didn't speak, my brain was getting a little uncomfortable right now.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Lantern Xiao said to herself: "I don't know if you have noticed, these things seem to have a carrier, that is, the underground tomb." If you want me to say, there is a thread in all of these things, which is the tomb underneath, so I think we should find the tomb. ”
"Looking for an ancient tomb?" I said angrily, "How do you find it?" The burial chamber is buried in the earth, and I'm looking for a fart! ”
Lantern Xiao said: "What are you afraid of, don't forget what we do?" The big earth rake of the new era! Is it still difficult to dig a robbery hole and find an ancient tomb? Not to mention knowing the exact location! ”
I turned my head to look at Lantern Xiao, "You kid won't have the idea to hit that ancient tomb, do you want to buy some goods for your Dongding Pavilion?" ”
Lantern Xiao showed a very speechless expression, "My God, I am so kind to help you, but you treat me like this, my revolutionary red heart, I fell to the ground with a chirp, and the powder was shattered!" ”
I smiled and looked at Lantern Xiao quietly, and after a moment of silence, Lantern Xiao also smiled, "Okay!" So what do you say? I listen to you! ”
I lowered my head and thought about it carefully, "Let's go to the ancestral house to have a look first, and then I want to figure out another thing, that is, after my grandfather died, why did my second uncle go to live in the ancestral tomb for two days." I always feel that this matter, although it is not very conspicuous, but there must be a big article in it! As for who the black shadow that Rensheng saw, we don't know where to start now, and we are not police, so we can't follow the track. What do you think? ”
Lantern Xiao thought for a while, "Well, that's fine!" Let's do it, let's get ready, and then let's go. ”
I looked at the Lantern Festival, and suddenly felt in my heart that having such a friend as the Lantern Festival touched me very much.
Lantern Xiao looked up and saw that I was staring at him, frowned suspiciously, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of my eyes. "Are you okay, why are you looking at me so affectionately?!"
I smiled, "Thanks, bro! ”
