"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

"Please! Leave me alone! I really didn't touch your stuff! ”

In the darkness, there seemed to be a faint shout, mixed with bursts of wailing, which made people feel heart-rending just listening to it.

Zheng Xiaofeng opened his eyes suddenly, and the scene in front of him stunned him.

I was standing in front of a huge clearing, not far away was a tall bell tower, and when I looked around, it seemed to be a villa.

"This ...... Isn't this my home? How did I come back again? ”

Cheng Ruxue...... Am I not with her? Didn't we crash? ”

"Am I misremembering...... Haven't I ever left home? But ......"

Zheng Xiaofeng's brain fell into chaos for a moment, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

The voice came again, as if someone was calling for help, Zheng Xiaofeng quickly retracted his thoughts, and cautiously traced the source of the sound.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... "The voice was getting weaker and weaker.

Zheng Xiaofeng came all the way to a very hidden corner on the periphery of the villa, where there was a bush, and the sound came from the depths of the bush.

Zheng Xiaofeng bent down, getting closer little by little, and when he got closer, he saw that there were two people hiding there face to face, one of them was his father, Zheng Huairen.

The other was the family's bodyguard, who was kneeling in front of his father, his face covered in blood and babbling and begging. A pistol with a muffler was in my father's hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the head of the bodyguard.

"Dad? How could he have a gun?! What are they doing here?! Zheng Xiaofeng was stunned.

"I'll ask you only once, who told you to steal that book?" Zheng Huairen suddenly spoke, his voice was extremely hoarse, making people sound very uncomfortable.

The bodyguard trembled all over, his throat and eyes had already choked with blood and tears, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"Sir...... Are you mistaken...... I'm not...... The ...... who went to steal the book"

Zheng Huairen's eyes were cold, and he shot the bodyguard in the leg. The bodyguard suddenly fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to scream.

"Ahh Zheng Xiaofeng was taken aback and almost screamed.

"What's going on? What book? Did Dad really shoot? Why would he do it?! ”

Zheng Xiaofeng looked at Zheng Huairen's eyes, and felt that his father's gaze at the moment was so vicious, just like those vicious villains in film and television dramas. His whole body trembled involuntarily, his father is not like this, his father is obviously so kind on weekdays, why did he suddenly become like this?!

"I'm not here to steal books, so you're going into my secret room?!" Zheng Huairen roared angrily, and before the bodyguard could catch a few breaths, he stepped forward and stabbed the muzzle of the gun on the bodyguard's temple.

"I'll give you one last chance, I'm going to hear the truth!"

The bodyguard cried, wriggling on the ground like an ant, powerless against his fate.

"Master, I beg you to let me go, I beg you! I really don't! ”

Zheng Huairen touched his forehead and sighed deeply.

"The Chamber of Secrets? What secret room? Have a secret room at home? Zheng Xiaofeng's heart was still a mess, he wanted to think, but at this time, the gunshot suddenly rang out again, Zheng Xiaofeng reflexively shook, and then his eyes widened.

The bodyguard's head had been opened, and he was lying in a pool of blood, dead.

And Zheng Huairen, as if he was accustomed to it, put away his gun, turned around, and left as if nothing had happened.

"Murdered...... Daddy killed someone...... Dad actually killed someone! Zheng Xiaofeng's brain "buzzed", he couldn't control himself anymore, he stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly at his father's back: "What are you doing!" ”

Zheng Huairen paused, slowly turned around, and saw him staring at Zheng Xiaofeng with faint eyes, looking like a demon, Zheng Xiaofeng was inexplicably a chill.

"Ah, you've found out! Then you should die! Zheng Huairen's expression suddenly became very hideous, like a beast, he raised his gun with a "swoop", and pulled the trigger without even hesitating.

With a "bang", Zheng Xiaofeng looked at the blood on his chest and couldn't believe it was true for a long time.

"Why...... Why do you want to kill ......? Zheng Xiaofeng asked with difficulty.

"You'll never know." A strange smile appeared on Zheng Huairen's face.

"Nope! I want to find out! Why are you doing this! I'll have to find out! ”

"Ahh Zheng Xiaofeng screamed, and finally woke up from his sleep.

In front of him was the top of the cave, and the air was still sporadically filled with last night's humidity, Zheng Xiaofeng realized that he had a nightmare, he was panting, and his hair was already soaked in cold sweat.

"If only it were really just a dream......"

The night had long since faded, and before Zheng Xiaofeng, people had already woken up from their sleep, and everyone stood up and walked outside the cave to welcome the warm sunshine.

Zheng Xiaofeng also moved, but at this time, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a soft object holding him tightly, and a slight aroma penetrated into his nostrils at the same time, although he couldn't remember what it was, but there was an inexplicable sense of comfort.

He had forgotten that the night before, he had fallen asleep with someone, so he lowered his head and looked curiously, but happened to meet the eyes of the person in his arms looking up, and the four eyes met each other in this way became the prelude to a new day for the two of them.

The two looked at each other for a second, and suddenly they both came to their senses, let go of each other in a panic, and widened the distance slightly. Cheng Ruxue turned her head to the other side, not to mention how embarrassed she was, she clearly realized that she was so actively wrapped in his arms in her sleep, so tightly, and for a whole night. Both of them still have each other's temperature on their bodies, and such a little temperature will burn their whole body.

"That...... You okay? How did you sleep...... Not sick, right? In the end, it was Zheng Xiaofeng who spoke first to break the deadlock.

"Hmm......" Cheng Ruxue just responded very simply.

"Uh...... This one...... The rain has stopped, and everyone seems to be going out, so let's go out and have a look. Zheng Xiaofeng continued, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward.

"Hmm......" Now Cheng Ruxue, it is really difficult to say anything else.

The two men walked out of the cave one after the other, and everyone gathered in front of an open field to look at the place where the plane had fallen. The smoke and fire were long gone, and in the morning light, it was once again a beautiful sight.

Chen Yan took the initiative to take Liu Bushuai's hand, and saw that her complexion had recovered a lot. Liu Bushuai smiled from the bottom of his heart, which shows that Chen Yan is really important in his heart.

The uncle silently lit a cigarette, he stayed up all night, hardly slept much, but his mental state was still very good, this figure is really not comparable to ordinary young people.

"Everyone's awake?" The uncle spat out a smoke ring and asked.

"Yes, I'm awake, thank you." Zheng Xiaofeng replied.

"It's been a night, and the government must have known that something was wrong with us, and maybe a search and rescue team will find us today." Uncle said.

Zheng Xiaofeng nodded and said, "So I said, we have to find an open and conspicuous place, in case there are planes flying by, it will be easier to find us." ”

"I look at the hill across the street." The uncle finished his last puff, tossed the cigarette butt aside, and stretched out his finger to the opposite side not far away.

"Hmm." Zheng Xiaofeng agreed, "The height over there is not low, and there are not so many trees on the top of the mountain, I think it's okay." ”

"Then I'll go talk to everyone, and we'll leave in a while."

After saying that, the uncle stood up and asked everyone's opinion, and sure enough, everyone had no objection, and soon everyone reached an agreement and set off together.

The mountain doesn't look far away, but as the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, the actual distance must be much farther than imagined. Most of the people didn't get much sleep that night, their mental state was very bad, and the speed of the whole team had to slow down.

Zheng Xiaofeng walked in the middle of the team, looking at the road under his feet, but what he was thinking about was the scene from last night's dream.

It happened a week ago, and I still remember it vividly, almost every night, the scene of that day would enter Zheng Xiaofeng's dream like a nightmare, reminding him again and again that it was definitely not a hallucination. But Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out, how could his father do such a thing.

Zheng Huairen has always enjoyed a good reputation in Beijing, he treats people modestly, is keen on public welfare, is a big philanthropist praised by everyone, the relationship between father and son has always been very good, if there is any dissatisfaction, that is, Zheng Xiaofeng always feels that his father is too focused on work, and does not accompany his family more, but even if there is this dissatisfaction, it is also based on family affection. Zheng Xiaofeng never thought that his father would have another side, but that day, he saw it with his own eyes. The gun, the cold, the eyes, the cold, if you are not used to killing people, who can do that habitually? The only difference from the dream was that Zheng Xiaofeng at that time did not dare to stand up from behind the bushes to question his father, because at that moment, he felt fear, an incomparably huge secret that was faintly shrouded in his family made him feel an irresistible fear, he was afraid.

He wanted to try to make himself forget about that day, but it was obviously impossible, but he didn't know what to do, call the police? That's my father! Ask your father for the truth? But can such a father really be trusted?

Maybe with the passage of time, this matter will sink forever, with the strength of the Zheng family, it is not impossible for the police to never notice this murder, but in the days to come, an invisible gap will be deep between the hearts of the father and son, and they can no longer be as close as before. Zheng Xiaofeng can't accept it, if there is a way to make the future less honest, it must be that he will find out all this by himself, perhaps, this is a misunderstanding, perhaps, there is a way to solve it.

So Zheng Xiaofeng first has to know what books and secret rooms mean.

Three days ago, after some investigation, Zheng Xiaofeng finally found the secret room in his father's study, which only had a set of tables and chairs, and an ancient book.

The book is not thin or thick, the size of two palms, except for the words in it, which Zheng Xiaofeng can't understand, but it is certain that it is by no means a text in Chinese history, and the things painted are also strange and varied, and some can't recognize what the painting is. Zheng Xiaofeng flipped through the book in its entirety, and there was a very strange painting that caught his attention.

My father made a lot of marks under the painting, and it seemed that he was looking for this place.

So Zheng Xiaofeng took a picture of the painting with his camera, and he realized that his father's secret must be related to the place on the painting, so he took this as a clue and launched a further investigation.

Next, he left home on the pretext of attending summer camp and came to the ghost market, which is what happened next.

This trip, he is imperative.

Before they knew it, the procession had been walking for a long time, and after noon, the group had finally crossed the valley between the two mountains and began to march towards the top of the mountain. The road became steeper and steeper, and Zheng Xiaofeng had to retract his thoughts and concentrate on catching up on the road.

At first, there were still people talking to each other in the process, but the more they went, the fewer people talked, and the itinerary became more and more boring.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a loud "oops" came from behind everyone, breaking the silence that had lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Everyone looked back and saw Zhou Qianchao, who was walking at the back of the line, fell to the ground for some reason, covered in mud.

"Hey, fuck me!" Zhou Qianchao cursed and got up in embarrassment.

There was no one to help him.

"I said, what's the matter with you? Hungry and can't stand still? Liu Bushuai asked in a somewhat mocking tone.

"Fart!" Zhou Qianchao said, "I didn't know what was in the grass just now, so I stumbled over it." ”

"In the grass? What can be in the grass? In the wilderness, can there still be people fighting in the field? Listen carefully and see if there is anyone still calling? Liu Bushuai continued to sarcastically say, these two people have not looked at each other since last night, and now how can he let go of such an opportunity to taunt.

Unexpectedly, Qian Chao seemed very serious that week, turned around and played with the grass behind him, looked at it for a long time but found nothing, so he had to say: "Seriously, there was something fucking in the grass just now, and it must not be small, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen." ”

Liu Bushuai snorted, and said in his heart that if there was really something, how could others not find it? Everyone ignored it, thinking that it was probably because he accidentally fell down so find a reason to save some face, everyone continued to walk forward, still leaving him alone. He scratched his head and muttered a few words to himself, revealing an incomprehensible expression.

The day passed slowly, and unlike everyone thought, dusk came one step earlier than the plane. By the time we reached the summit, everyone was exhausted.

"Isn't the plane coming today?" Finally this question was raised, and as soon as this was said, everyone began to feel uneasy, and if this was the case, it would mean that everyone would have to endure the cold and starve for another night.

"Maybe we are too optimistic, the Tarim Mountains are very big, and our plane fell so suddenly, and the government probably doesn't have our exact location." The uncle said silently.

Zheng Xiaofeng, who was closest to him, did not answer him, and at this moment Zheng Xiaofeng was thinking more about how to solve the problem of diet. If, as the uncle said, it will take some time for the search and rescue to arrive, then diet is a real priority at present.

At this moment, Cheng Ruxue suddenly made a silent gesture, pointed to the depths of the woods on the side, and said softly: "Listen, is there any sound over there." ”
