"Nonsense! Do you still need you to remind me? His cell phone has gone unanswered. I then asked, "Do you know him, where is he now?" ”

"I don't know." Xiao Chen's answer was a little helpless, but his next sentence made me even more shocked, "I haven't seen him for almost three days!" ”

I instructed Xiao Chen to notify me immediately whenever he saw my second uncle. After that, I hung up. It's past 11 o'clock, and I can't do anything at this late, and my brain is a little heavy. I'll just go to bed and lie down first, and I'll figure it out early tomorrow morning. I slept very painfully this night, sometimes falling asleep, sometimes waking up, always dreaming about my second uncle.

As soon as it was dawn, I opened my eyes and could no longer sleep.

I got up with my spirits up, and I had to try to pretend to be calm so that my parents could not see my abnormality.

After my parents left, I sat on the sofa in despair, thinking back to the last time I had a phone call with my second uncle, and my second uncle's voice still lingered in my ears.

I picked up my phone and couldn't help but think in my heart, second uncle, second uncle, where did you run again!!

Wait a minute, after I rethought the phone call with my second uncle and Xiao Chen, I suddenly felt that something was wrong! I remember that I called my second uncle three days ago, when my second uncle told me that he was going up the mountain to collect medicine. And Xiao Chen said that they had already returned from collecting medicine from the mountain three days ago!

These two statements are completely incompatible in terms of time, and I am actually more inclined to Xiao Chen's statement about these two statements, because it doesn't make sense for him to lie to me like this! But why did the second uncle lie to me! What did he want to do? At the same time, I was also wondering, will there be anything to do between the second uncle's loss of contact and the two suspected Tan family people?

When I think of this, my heart is full of palpitations! I almost want to step back to Guiyang and look for the traces of my second uncle. I scratched my head vigorously, my brain was quickly looking for various ways, and suddenly, an idea appeared in my mind, I could ask Yuan An, who was in Guiyang, to help me check the traces of my second uncle, the power of the Yuan family in Guizhou should not be underestimated, they will definitely be able to find it!

But I looked at my phone and found that although I had cooperated with the Yuan family several times, I didn't even have the mobile phone number of any of them! Communicative skills are really my weakness. As the saying goes, it's really a lot of friends and many roads, and I just hate myself for having too few roads now!

I suddenly thought of Lantern Festival again, I don't know if he has the contact information of the Yuan family, I dialed the number of Lantern Xiao and told him the general situation, but I didn't expect that Lantern Xiao did not have the contact information of the Yuan family in his hand, but he also told me not to worry, saying that he would call his grandfather soon, in this case, it is very likely to find Yuan An's contact information directly.

It was best to be able to find Yuan An's phone, so I hung up the phone and waited for the good news of Lantern Festival, but after ten minutes, Lantern Xiao told me that no one answered his grandfather's phone and could not be contacted for the time being. Lantern Xiao comforted me not to worry, he will try his best to find it, and he will notify me as soon as there is news.

I hung up the phone, I couldn't wait any longer. I remember that the second uncle had a small notebook to remember the phone, although the second uncle was very smart, but he was slow to respond to things like mobile phones, until the first two years, he completely abandoned the hand-copied address book and switched to the contacts software that came with the mobile phone. The second uncle and Yuan An have known each other for many years, and if they can find that address book, they are likely to find Yuan An's contact information!

Without further ado, I got on the bus back to my hometown and went straight to my second uncle's pharmacy first. I know that some of my second uncle's personal belongings are in a small cabinet in the tea room of the pharmacy, and there may be something I want.

The few young guys in the second uncle's pharmacy are not very old, and they all get along well with me. As soon as I walked into the pharmacy, I probably hadn't seen him in a long time. A couple of guys immediately came over to greet me. I smiled and responded to them one by one, and it was a good feeling.

The guy, named Xiaoliu, asked with a smile, "Brother Ran, why do you have time to come over today?" ”

I nodded, "Ah, I'll come over and find something." ”

Xiao Liu continued: "Your uncle and nephew are really interesting, if you don't come back, you won't come back, and you will come back one by one!" ”

My mind was on looking for the second uncle's address book, so I was a little absent-minded, and when I heard Xiaoliu's words, I casually agreed to a few words, but I quickly eased up. I stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Liu, "What! You say my second uncle is back?? ”

Xiaoliu was taken aback by me, "Brother Ran, don't get excited, what's wrong with you?" ”

Only then did I realize that I was a little out of shape, so I let go of Xiaoliu and said, "You just said that my second uncle has come back?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Just yesterday, ah, no, it was the day before yesterday!" Brother Ran, if you don't believe it, you asked them, and they all saw it. I looked at the other guys, and they nodded.

Now my mind is a little messed up, "Then where is my second uncle now?" ”

"I don't know," the guys shook their heads, "After the second master came, he checked the accounts, asked about the situation during this time, and then left." We haven't seen him in two days! ”

Unexpectedly got the news, I left the pharmacy and went straight to the second uncle's house, but after I opened the door of the second uncle's house, I found that I was still empty, and the second uncle's house was empty. I sat on the sofa and couldn't help but complain to him, "Which one of your old men are singing?!" ”

Gradually, I calmed down, and began to think in my heart, why didn't the second uncle come back and tell me if there was any place here that he needed to go without me? Thinking about it, I think there is only one place, and that is our family's ancestral grave!

Without further ado, I got up and left my second uncle's house and got on the bus back to the village. When I arrived at the village, it was already past noon, and I went straight into Brother Dacheng's restaurant. Brother Dacheng was both surprised and surprised when he saw me come in, "Zhuo Ran! How did you get over today? ”

I replied casually: "Ah, I'll go to the county seat to do some business, and go back to the village by the way." ”

Knowing that I hadn't eaten, Brother Dacheng quickly got two dishes and brought them up, "Don't leave at night, stay here, I'll call a few of them, let's drink some in the evening!" ”

While eating, I waved my hand, "No, Brother Dacheng, I still have something, let's do it next time!" ”

Brother Dacheng saw that I was resolute and did not force it. I'm still hungry, and soon the clouds are gone. While eating, I said to him, "Hey, Brother Dacheng, have you seen my second uncle and them come over in the past two days?" ”

"This?" Brother Dacheng recalled, "That's not true, I haven't seen the second uncle for a long time!" "Because it is my own family, Brother Dacheng calls my second uncle the second uncle and calls my father and uncle. Then Brother Dacheng continued: "I saw my uncle come a few days ago to see the construction progress of the ancestral house. ”

After eating and drinking, I said goodbye to Brother Dacheng and came to the ancestral house of the Zhuo family. The progress of the project is very fast, and it has reached the point where it is beginning to finish. Fortunately, the engineering captain still recognized me, so I went in and out freely and no one asked.

I crept into the backyard of my ancestral home, far from the collapsed location, so the reconstruction project didn't involve it.

I looked around and saw that everything was pretty much the same as the last time I was here. Seeing that no one was looking, I strode to the utility room in the corner of the backyard. I gently pushed the door in, turned on the flashlight on my phone, and walked straight to the innermost copy, which was the entrance to the cellar below.

The huge main padlock on the flap was still there, and I lifted the bottom of a jar in the corner, where a copper key lay quietly. I'm just as familiar with these things as I was the last time I was here.

When I took the key, I noticed that the copper key was very clean, especially the hand pinch, and it was obvious that someone must have touched it recently. I know that nine times out of ten, this is the second uncle! It seems that my guess that the second uncle came here is correct.

I unlocked the flap and stepped into the cellar. But as soon as I entered the cellar, I couldn't help but be stunned, the fragments of several large vats that had been standing by the wall were all cleaned aside, and the entrance to the secret room that was originally hidden under the large vat was revealed. On the other side of the cellar there was a huge pile of dirt. Seeing this, I quickly ran to the edge of the entrance to the secret room, and sure enough, this place had been cleaned up. And those dirt also show that the second uncle must have done something here!

I hesitated, bowed my head and entered the entrance to the chamber. There are a lot of shoveled forks left on the wall of the cave inside the entrance, and they are very new, obviously left over from the past few days.

I walked along the hole and I remember when Lantern told me that the passage had collapsed, and at this point I saw that it had been re-dug up. As I walked forward, I observed the situation around me. I'm a little timid now, and if there is a second collapse here, I will definitely not have a chance of survival.

Lying on my stomach, I found that this section of the passage that had been re-dug was also a method of stealing holes, and I was sure that it was from the second uncle. I just don't know where this thief hole leads? No matter how powerful the second uncle is, it is impossible to dig out the tomb with the coffin below!

The flashlight on the mobile phone uses the light of the flash, and the brightness is okay, but the penetration is not enough, so the light can't shine far. I crawled along the cave for a while, and when I looked up again, I suddenly found that I had crawled to the end of the cave.

This makes me a little puzzled, did the second uncle give up halfway after spending half a day's effort? This is not like the style of the second uncle. So I climbed forward again. When I got to the end of the cave, I realized that it wasn't a solid layer of soil.
