Chapter 8: There are two phoenixes

There were several fires burning in the house, and Zhang Qixun felt a little hot, so he took off his hat.

The little brother just stared at his head a few times, but there was no surprise on his face.

Zhang Qixun raised his hand and fluttered the slightly longer white hair, and said with a smile: "Aren't you curious?" ”

"Yes." The little brother said lightly, "You are very similar." ”

Zhang Qixun raised his eyebrows, "Was he also white and short-haired at that time?" It seems that the gene was inherited from him. ”

The scene in the pheromone was too blurry, and he only saw that after the cap of the cloak fell off, the clearest thing in his vision was that Zhang Menyu had a red tattoo on his face, and he really didn't see what his hair looked like.

The instant noodles were cooked quickly, and Balma was still squatting in the corner with mushrooms, squinting and peeking at the side from time to time.

Zhang Qixun glanced over and scared him to look at it again, and then ignored him, took out disposable dishes and chopsticks to scoop noodles for himself and his little brother, and added a braised duck leg to each person.

The two chatted while eating, and Zhang Qi asked the little brother, "How did you find here?" ”

The little brother ate the noodles slowly, and only said two words when he heard the words, "Blind." ”

Zhang Qixun was a little surprised, "That guy also came over?" ”

The little brother shook his head, "No, he pays for it." ”

Zhang Qixun suddenly understood what the little brother meant, "He still owes you money?" ”

The little brother nodded, put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and got up to look at the corpse by the fire on the other side.

There was a gurgling sound in the corner of the room, Zhang Qixun raised his eyelids and glanced at Balma, took out a new packet of instant noodles from his backpack and threw it to him, asking, "Do you remember how to cook it?" ”

Balma nodded a little embarrassed, the fragrant aroma in the air made him unable to stop the saliva secreted in his mouth, and saw that Zhang Qixun also went to the other side, so he cautiously moved over.

While disassembling the instant noodles and putting them in a small iron basin, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

"A man and a woman, both of them are phoenixes." Zhang Qixun sighed, "It seems that they attach a lot of importance to this surnamed Ma, and they actually sent two phoenixes at once." ”

Balma's hands froze, after so many years of living in this area, he could see at a glance what kind of purpose the other party was approaching him, he could feel that these two people had no obvious ill will towards him, but they were also definitely not pure.

"How did you know my surname was Ma?" Balma asked.

Zhang Qixun raised his eyebrows, "Is it difficult to find?" To be honest, your camouflage skills are really bad, and you don't really know how to hide yourself. ”

"Those vendors reject you so much, it means that you are probably an outsider, and after your Ma family moved to Nepal, you are actually selling antiques."

The thangka is a parody painting, the prototype is the large white umbrella covered with the Buddha mother mandala painted by the Naga king of Nepal, the figure is the same, but the painting method is different, there is a clear Tibetan Himalayan Kadam style.

Balma was silent for a few seconds and lowered his head, "I don't know what you are looking for me, I have already told you what to say." ”

Zhang Qixun and the little brother glanced at each other, "Did you misunderstand something?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Balma suddenly broke down and yelled, "Who the are you guys, what do you want to do?" I have told you all I know, and my home has been harmed by you, what do you want? ”

"Do you have to force me to death before you are willing? Isn't it? Balma was hoarse, and when he stood up, he was about to slam against the wall, "Okay, come, kill me, all die, a hundred dead!" ”

The little brother quickly picked up a piece of dry wood that had not yet burned, threw it and hit him on the back of his knee.

Balma threw himself on his knees, his leg numb, and a large cold sweat broke out on his back, and he could not stand up for a long time, so he could only limp to the corner of the wall and wrap his felt coat tightly, as if this would give him a sense of security.

Zhang Qixun glanced at him lightly, and pointed to the two corpses of the Wang family on the ground, "Please find out first, here, these two are here to kill you, and we are here to save you." ”

Balma smothered his head, obviously not convinced, "Do you use less of such tricks?" ”

Zhang Qixun originally had no intention of poking people's scars, but now it seems that it is impossible not to poke a knife.

"Listen to those small traders, the reason why your family is declining is because you offended a noble priest here?"

Balma shuddered, apparently remembering some very bad memories.

When he raised his eyes, he found that Zhang Qixun was already standing in front of him, Bamal was startled, and his hands fluttered and he desperately retreated.

Zhang Qixun was a little speechless, hasn't Wu Xie's face always been quite affinity, when did it become so terrifying, look at it and be scared.

"Your family has really offended the nobles here? Or is all this just a fictitious idea, and offending the nobles is just an excuse to deal with the Ma family? Zhang Qixun asked tentatively.

Balma's whole body tensed, like a weak beast that had had its claws removed and curled up in a cage.

"I don't know...... I don't really know ......."

He was incoherent, his spirit seemed to have been greatly damaged, he held his head in pain, "I really don't know anything, why do you just refuse to let me go......"

Seeing him like this, he couldn't ask anything for a while.

Zhang Qixun sighed, scooped the noodles into a disposable bowl, served the soup in front of him, reminded him and ignored him.

The little brother dragged the two bodies out into the hallway, and the snow grew heavier and heavier, and soon covered the bodies from beginning to end.

Zhang Jixun asked him on the fire, "When did you arrive in Nepal and did you find anything in this house?" ”

"Two days ago." "There is nothing unusual about the surface of the house, there is a deep well in the backyard, and the water in it is frozen and cannot go down. ”

When the Wang family was about to make a move on Balma outside, the little brother suddenly jumped out of the window of the house.

"That's good." Zhang Qixun nodded, "Let's go to that deep well later to see the situation." ”

"There's nothing in there." Balma suddenly interjected.

Zhang Qixun looked back at him, perhaps because he had eaten some food from his hometown, and Balma's face was much better at this time.

"Even if there were things in there, they must have taken them away." Balma continued.

"What did they do to you?" Zhang Qixun opened his mouth and inserted the knife directly.

Balma breathed for a moment, paused for a while, and then said slowly: "You both read my grandfather's memoirs and found them from China." ”

Seeing Zhang Qixun nodding, he continued: "Since you have read that memoir, you naturally know that my Ma family was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time, and in order to save my two sons, all my remaining family property was lost, but this did not change my son's life. ”

"Because this is a bureau they set up for my Ma family from the beginning, a scam."

Balma slowly recounted the memory, which must have been very painful for him, but he spoke it out anyway, in a manner similar to his last words.

Bamal's original name was Ma Chongshan, and he was Ma Pingchuan's grandson.

At that time, Ma Pingchuan's youngest son moved to Nepal with the rest of his family in order to escape the cursed death.

The youngest son of the Ma family was very business-minded, and with a lot of family property, he soon made progress in the upper class here, and their family began to resell antiques.

Although the system was not suitable for business, it was a suitable transit point, and the Ma family soon made a lot of money by transferring antiques from the mainland.

One year, Ma Chongshan went to the snow area and got some antiques from Tibet, and then the priest of the Brahmin family sent out an invitation for the Ma family to come and visit.

Due to business contacts, the Ma family and this noble priest are still relatively friendly, and Ma Chongshan's two sons are also very familiar with the priest's family.

But the Ma family never imagined that this was a Hongmen banquet specially set up for them, and it can even be said that they have been targeted from the moment they came to Nepal from the mainland.

When Ma Chongshan was busy doing big business with the Brahmin family, his two sons were deliberately induced, one became addicted to smoking, and the other became a gambler.

Ma Chongshan often runs away from home and abroad, and when he knows it, it is too late, his two sons have been detained as meat tickets, and the family property has also been defeated, so he can only hurry up and sell this batch of antiques in his hand, so that he can use money to redeem people.

Because of his eagerness to make a move, and because it was the Brahmin family who made the match, out of trust in his long-standing partner, Ma Chongshan fell into the trap so stupidly, not only did he not rescue his son, but even all his family property was put in.

The antiques that Ma Chongshan transferred to foreign countries are themselves mixed with the fake, and the foreigners bought these antiques in order to pretend to be arrogant, and the work of identifying these is done by the Brahmin family, the Brahmin family is the most noble nobleman in Nepal, and basically no one dares to doubt the authenticity of the goods that go out of their hands.

But there was a problem this time, and it was a fatal problem, all the goods were confiscated, and Ma Chongshan not only didn't get a penny, but almost put himself in.

Now he won't realize that he is being calculated, and his brain can really pretend to be paste.

But even if he realized it, it was too late, he could only sell the rest of the family property to protect himself, and then took the last bit of the family heirloom to China, intending to find someone to evaluate it for some money to save his life.

In the end, those orphan books were collected by Jin Wantang, and he returned to Nepal with the money to save people, and his wife and other family members stayed in China at this time.

Ma Chongshan actually knew very well that he would not be able to go back this time, but he still went, and then he was detained in prison by the Brahmin family for an excuse.

During the time he was in prison, he was questioned by people all the time, at first it was just mental torture, his two sons were tortured to death by those people in front of him, and then those began to torture Ma Chongshan, not a heavy punishment, but very devastating will.

Ma Chongshan didn't know anything about what they asked, and finally had no choice but to confide that his father took them to Nepal and built a deep well of the Sea Dragon King in the back yard when he built a house, which is said to be used to lead the dragon to the town.

Ma Chongshan didn't know what they did, but a month later, he was released from his dark cell.

He wandered around outside pretending to be crazy and stupid for a while, and when those people dispelled their suspicions and completely gave up their stalking on him, he immediately changed his name and surname to find a way to get out.

But he has no money and no identity, he is struggling here, and there is no way to return to China, so he can only end up in the joint as a homeless man who buys antiques.

It wasn't until he went back to the basement this evening that Ma Chongshan found that the lock hanging on the iron door had been moved.

The experience had made his personality extremely cautious, and he could immediately detect any disturbances.

When Zhang Qixun appeared at his booth to ask, he was already suspicious, so after finding that the dust on the door lock had been wiped off, he immediately understood that those people back then had found him again.

Because the door lock is just an ornament, the iron door in the basement can be opened directly with a push of the hand.

The strong landlord knew that the door lock was broken, and every time he came to find someone, he would kick it open, and then stand at the door with his nose covered and scolded Ma Chongshan inside, it was impossible for the landlord to condescend and bend down into the low Xiaoice cold basement.

Only unfamiliar strangers will pick the lock when they see it, but this will also leave marks on the lock, and in order to avoid suspicion, he will naturally wipe off the dust, but it just exposes his whereabouts.

After listening to Ma Chongshan's story, Zhang Qixun pondered for a few seconds and asked him, "Your Ma family, did you bring anything out of that scorpion tomb back then?" ”

Ma Chongshan shook his head, "That's all about the last two generations, I don't know." ”

"When the Ma family left the Ma Nunnery in a hurry, what was the surname of the person who bought the original address of the Ma House? Do you know this? Zhang Qixun asked again.

Ma Chongshan frowned and thought carefully for a long time, and finally turned out a little information from the corners of his childhood memory, "When I was a child, I seemed to hear my father mention that it was said that it was a rich kid who came back from Tokyo to stay abroad, it seems to be ...... It seems to be, surnamed Wang. ”

Zhang Qixun's heart was clear, and there was no surprise in the little brother's expression, obviously he had already guessed it.

Zhang Qixun stretched out his finger and pointed to the corpse under the snow layer outside the porch, and said to Ma Chongshan: "Then do you know what the surnames of the two people who wanted to kill you before?" ”

Ma Chongshan was stunned, heard something from Zhang Qixun's words, and his eyes widened, "You mean, they are also surnamed Wang!" ”

His expression suddenly became excited, covered his heart, and said eagerly: "Were those people also surnamed Wang back then!" The methods used to interrogate me in prison were not at all used by the Nepalese aristocracy, so they were also Han Chinese! ”

"Why would they do it? What kind of grudge does my Ma family have with them? Ma Chongshan muttered, as if there were signs of collapse again.

"All these things are related to the scorpion tomb that your Ma family found under the tomb mountain."

Zhang Qixun left this sentence, looked at the sky that had darkened outside, and whispered to the little brother: "Let's go to see the well again tomorrow morning, don't be in a hurry." ”

The little brother nodded, although the well didn't know how deep it was, but the turbid water in it had frozen into ice under the accumulated cold, and it was not easy to go down.

Zhang Qixun asked the little brother to stay in the house to watch Ma Chongshan, and went to the backyard to pack up more firewood, preparing to spend the night in the Ma family's house tonight.
