Chapter 22 Symbol Reproduction
I opened this marriage letter with trembling hands, and the handwriting was Xiuxiu's! My mind went blank in an instant, and I couldn't read a word of what was said in the letter! I think the numbers at the end are quite glaring.
The sixth day of April! Isn't that today?!
Engaged today?!
But, but! Last time, she gave me a handkerchief that she had embroidered herself, and we drank together under the peach tree! Isn't she interesting to me?!
My eyes were sour, and I hurriedly dragged my sore body and limped to Xiuxiu's house in the next village.
"Xiuxiu!" I stood in the lighted gatedoor and shouted inside.
A familiar figure appeared in front of me, walking slowly towards me in a red wedding dress. That person is Xiuxiu! She looked at me timidly and whispered, "You're here......"
"Why...... Are you engaged? ”
"Hmm......" Xiuxiu lowered her blushing little face, and said in a milky voice: "You...... Didn't you read what I wrote to you? ”
"What are you writing about?" I said in a hurry, I was busy searching my whole body up and down, and I didn't know when the letter would be lost!
"I'm sorry...... I always thought you were handsome and chic, occasionally a little suave, and calm and capable of solving things...... However, I heard about your village. Now I see ...... As the rumors say, the brain seems to be missing roots......"
I was confused, and I didn't know what the rumors were saying. I hurriedly explained, "No, not what you heard! ”
I only heard Xiuxiu take a deep breath and say, "I'm sorry...... You're good! But...... I like mature men. You're too impatient! With that, she seemed to sob a few times, and ran into the house.
When I heard this, I felt a sharp pain in my chest! It's as if the heart has been pinched hard by a baby's little hands.
Women, sure enough, are all real material!
"It's over...... Finished! I wanted to cry without tears, and muttered, "The person who finally stood up has collapsed!" Damn it's the troublemakers behind Xin! ”
The wood is already in the boat, and no matter how sad I am, it is in vain, so I have to go home in disgrace.
I wiped my tears and secretly decided: I must find out the troublemakers behind this!
I slept in bed all afternoon, and the next morning I got up early and came to the yard, and the more I looked at the big tree in the yard, the more uncomfortable I became, and my heart was annoyed and bored, and I kicked the number hard.
"Holy! It hurts me! ”
The sharp pain calmed me down instantly. The father who hid his secrets, the second brother who behaved suspiciously, and the bad woman Xiuxiu all started when I took over Yu Xin's rituals.
Be sure to find out something! Justify my own name and let Xiuxiu, that bad woman, impress me! I crept to my eldest brother's door and looked through the window - it was empty. I came to the second brother's door again, the second brother's door was open, I carefully pushed it open, and there was no movement inside.
The eldest brother and the second brother are not there, I locked my eyes on my father's room, my father went out yesterday, he went out to do errands for three days, and now he is definitely not at home.
The timing is great! I'm going to my father's room! See if Daddy has left anything left.
I pushed the door, and my father's door was locked. It seems that a different way to get in. I looked at the half-open window on the side of the gang and climbed through it.
Dad's room is antique, the bed, bookcase, coffee table, and screen are all solid wood, and there is a solemn and luxurious feeling as soon as you enter. I looked at my father's bedside table, which was covered with a layer of dust. Dad has always loved cleanliness, and this time he went out for a long time, but he didn't clean it.
I pulled out a few drawers of my bedside table, which contained some of his notes. I don't understand the strange assertions and annotations. I rummaged through the layers and felt bored.
Suddenly, I touched a pile of paper manuscripts that seemed to be hard inside, and suddenly, I was happy in my heart - could it be that I had found something? I touched the outline of the thing, and it was a card-shaped, as if it had edges and corners. I hurriedly pulled the thing out, and it was- tokens?
The token was bronze and covered in pits, with some rust. It looks like it's been hundreds of years, to say the least. The front is carved with a winged bird, and the token is surrounded by a pattern of characters that I can't read.
I flipped the token over - in an instant, my scalp was numb, and I was suffocated in my chest and my breath almost stopped!
My eyes widened and I looked at the back of this token in disbelief - this! Here's the gossip map! It seems to be the same as the gossip map that the old man picked out from Yu Xin's corpse, and it is exactly the same as the gossip map on the ground in the corner of the wall!
The only difference is that the bottom of the Bagua diagram is engraved with a seal "open".
What does this "on" mean...... My mind was a mess. And what does this symbol mean?! Father...... Yu Xin didn't say a word after finding this symbol in his corpse, and then this symbol appeared under his wall.
And then ...... Daddy went out the next morning! I don't dare to think about these things together, don't ...... Someone was signaling Daddy to leave under the wall, in fact...... Yu Xin...... It was killed by Daddy! So Dad kept his mouth shut!
What about the second brother? I can't figure it out, there are so many contradictions that are difficult to explain!
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gate, and someone seemed to be talking something. My heart tightened, and I hurriedly put the token back into the pile of papers with trembling hands.
I hurriedly climbed out of my father's yard through the window and went around a long way and climbed over the wall into my bedroom.
Before I could sit down in the room, I heard my father's strong voice from outside the door, "Ah Chen?" Ah Jun? Arvin? ”
Daddy didn't go to a dangerous place?! I'm happy and worried, it seems that my eldest brother didn't lie to me! That daddy...... Is it really the one who is behind the troublemakers?
I bit my lip tightly, didn't dare to take a breath, and got into the quilt and pretended to sleep. The next second, there was a knock on the door, and I felt someone peeking at me through the window...... I curled up and listened to the silence outside the window.
I just wanted to pretend to be asleep, but I didn't expect to fall asleep. When I woke up, it was completely dark, and suddenly, I saw a figure outside the window, and when I looked closely, it was Daddy!
Why is he out so late?! I waited for him to go away, and hurriedly followed, but I didn't think that before I could walk out, there was a figure behind my father.
The man was sneaky, as if he was going to do something under the tree, and he looked around, and just as he turned his head, I saw his face!
No way! How could it be him??
