The last place where the descendants of Confucian merchant Yu Chengxian settled was called Yanhe Village, but there was not even a ditch outside the village, and I don't know how this place name came from.

To make matters worse, the place along the river was so deserted that if it weren't for the smoke of a few chimneys, I would have thought it a dead village.

As soon as I entered the village, I met an old man who told me about the five remaining families in the village. There is a second-rate son who specializes in touching porcelain and Mengren, let's leave quickly, don't get involved with him. said that "when he stuffs a broken book into your hand, you will wait to be falsely accused by him".

I casually asked, "What kind of book is that?" ”

The old man sneered: "It is said that it is a treasure map left by his grandfather." Fuck it! His grandfather didn't know where he came from, and he could leave a fart? ”

"Treasure map?" I immediately hit the idea on that second-rate man.

We deliberately walked around the village after a few laps. An old man who looked to be in his forties and didn't look like a station came over from afar: "You're here to explore, right?" ”

"Fuck the bullshit!" I pointed to the village, "Do you have a haunted house?" Or is there a treasure? Shall I come up to you to explore the well? Hurry up, tell me how to get to Baqianping, and after pointing out, this money is yours. ”

As I spoke, I took out a hundred dollars. It shook in front of the man's eyes.

The man's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Big brother, don't pretend, I saw that you were here to explore." Also go to 8,000 pings...... You know 8,000 pings, why don't you know about the riverside store? ”

"Bad luck!" I spit on the ground: "Go out, don't find a way, don't talk about it, why the hell met a madman!" ”

As I spoke, I turned around to get into the car. As soon as the man saw that I was leaving, he immediately became anxious: "Don't go, don't go!" I'll tell you, we've got all the things you just said! ”

I'm pretty much there when I hear it. He simply turned around and asked, "You have it all here?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

The man smiled and said, "You went to Baqianping to see the Yu family's old house, right?" Over the years, I have heard that the old house of the Yu family is haunted, and there are more young people who have to go to see it. What happened? It's not all about scolding and coming back. If you're looking for excitement, you might as well be in our village! ”

"What do you have here?" I deliberately pretended not to care at all: "Broken house, I've seen a lot." ”

"Look at this ......," the man mysteriously pulled out a yellow book bound in thread.

"What is this?" As soon as I got the book, I knew it was an old object.

"During the Republic of China, the notes left by the largest family in the riverside shop." The man pretended to be mysterious and said, "There must be a big secret in this!" If you're interested, I'll sell it to you cheaply. ”

"What did I buy it for? Wipe your ass? "My face sank, and I picked it up and threw it out.

"Wait!" Tan Yue jumped out of the car: "Don't throw it yet, I'll take a look." The paper of this book is indeed old. This person writes well with a brush, and he can't write such a good word without more than ten years of skills, maybe it's an old object. ”

The man gave a thumbs up: "It's still this little brother who has eyesight, and he knows that this is a good thing at a glance!" ”

Tan Yue closed the book: "Anyway, it's late today, why don't we stay here for a night, and by the way, see if there is anything new in this book." If there's something that interests us, I'll buy it, and the price won't be a problem. ”

"Okay......" The man agreed, "It just so happens that there is an empty house in the village, and I will take you there." But. You have to bring your own food. ”

"Your things, I'm afraid of diarrhea after eating them!" With a straight face, I drove the man into a house in the village.

The house was fairly clean, but at a glance it was clear that there had been days when no one lived there, and there was not even a pot on the stove.

The man didn't stay long after taking us to the house, and told us that his name was Wang Erkui, and he lived in the courtyard next door.

When he walked away, Yu Haoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you inquire about the news directly, why do you have to buy that book?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Before I came." I didn't expect the riverside village to be dilapidated like this. How much news can these people in the village know? Fortunately, there is still a second-rate son in the village who wants to get rich, otherwise. We can't even find a single message. ”

Yu Haoxuan glared and said, "Are you so sure that the book in his hand is real?" He's a thug like that, maybe he got something somewhere. ”

"You still have little experience in the rivers and lakes. I'll tell you. If you think second-rate people are gangsters, then you are wrong. ”

I explained: "A second-rate person is not as good as a gangster, so he has a second word." Fighting is not okay. I can't do it with my brain, so I can only eat with other people's buttocks. These people don't dare to mix far away at all, so they can only cheat around their homes to eat and drink. ”

"The fact that he has a book in his hand means that the provenance of the book is not too far away, and if it is not something that has been handed down from his family, it has been obtained near the village. Maybe there's something in this book. ”

"You take a break. I'll look into what this book is all about. ”

Du Miao and I were placed in Haoxuan, Tan Yue sat at the window and read the book, and when we settled down, he could read almost the same.

"This should be a private note written by a person named Yu Qiwu before liberation."

Judging from what he recorded, this man had a good private school education. But he was born at the wrong time, and in the era in which he lived, what he learned in private school was no longer enough for him to settle down.

Yu Qiwu was in poverty. A legend about his own family came to mind.

According to his recollections, his father once said that his great-grandfather was the youngest son of the Confucian merchant Yu Chengxian. His name is Yu Yinhai. Of course, it is possible that this is a pseudonym.

Yu Yinhai was not expelled from his home because of bad conduct, but Yu Chengxian had already anticipated the coming troubled times, and in order to leave blood for the Yu family, he deliberately expelled Yu Yinhai from the house.

After Yu Yinhai hid in Yanhe Village, Yu Chengxian began to secretly transfer the family wealth to Yu Yinhai, who tried to hide the wealth in the mountains.

Later, Yu Yinhai disappeared for no reason when he went into the mountain to hide treasure. After that, no one knew where the treasure went. Yu Yinhai's descendants also speculated about the place where the treasure was hidden, but the treasure was never found.

Yu Qiwu, the owner of the note, felt that the descendants of the Yu family did not find the treasure, but did not look for it. So, he's been looking for treasure through the clues left by his father during his lifetime.

Tan Yue stopped at this point, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Nope." Tan Yue raised the broken book in his hand: "When the notes are written here, there is only a blank space." ”

"Blank?" I took the notes and looked at them, and sure enough, I didn't even remember a word behind them.

I also deliberately flipped through the cracks in the paper twice, and there were no traces of tearing in it, that is, the one surnamed Wang did not tear off the contents on it. But where is the record that should have been left behind?

When I was holding the notes in a daze, Du Miao stretched out his hand: "Show me." ”

After I handed the note to the other party, Du Miao first put the note under his nose and sniffed it, and then gently tore off a corner and put it in his mouth: "This note is complete!" It's just that someone has placed a spell on it, and it can only be triggered when it encounters a special medium. ”

I raised my eyebrows and said, "You mean, this notebook is from the handwriting of the mantra. ”

"Maybe it's the Wumen ......" Du Miao pulled over Hao Xuan's palm, gently cut his index finger, and dripped blood on the note.

I watched as the blood beads fell, splashing a circle of blood-colored ripples on the yellowed and hardened old paper, and the next moment, two regular scripts that seemed to be written in cinnabar appeared on the notes: "Village entrance!" ”

I couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean?" ”

Du Miao said: "Probably speaking, the content of the next page can only be seen at the entrance of the village, and there should be something that triggers the note." Now one thing is certain, Hao Xuan is indeed a descendant of Yu Chengxian, and there is a master of magic hidden among the ancestors of the Yu family. ”

"Go find the one surnamed Wang!" I carefully recalled that when we entered, there was nothing special about the entrance to the village. If it weren't for some details that I hadn't noticed, it was that we were entering the village in the wrong direction.

I'll have to find a guide to show me the way.
