Yanjing Fuyao Ji

chapter 31

Before he stepped into the yard, he felt that the plane had stopped vibrating.

On the ground in the yard, a cat was writhing desperately.Black and white patterns, and a foreign-style leather collar around her neck...

cow?

"What's wrong with this cat? Was it beaten by another cat?" Dong Cang's wife who came out of the kitchen casually glanced at the cat on the ground, then returned to the kitchen to prepare staple food for Dong Cang and Chu Jiu.

Dong Ximing was really angry, and he didn't show up in the room.

The sharp-eyed Chu Jiu found that the ground beside the cow was clearly covered with dark red bloodstains!

"Hush, don't move..." Chu Jiu squatted on the ground and held down the cow with great difficulty, and found an egg-sized wound on the outside of its right hind leg. Although it was rubbed all over with dirt, the edge of the wound could still be seen It turned black, and saw that the hair on the tip of its tail seemed to be scorched by someone, Chu Jiu immediately thought of that disgusting fire mouse...

The cow held down by Chu Jiu gradually calmed down. It saw clearly that it was Chu Jiu's empress, and suddenly got up, crawled to Chu Jiu's feet, and rubbed its neck against Chu Jiu's shoe upper.

Chu Jiu understood that the cat asked himself to untie the collar for it.Thinking of this, Chu Jiu's pupils shrank suddenly, so it was rolling on the ground crazily just now to get rid of the collar?

He helped the cow take off the collar in two or three strokes, and it slipped under the kitchen table with its tail between its legs, and couldn't get out no matter how hard it tried, as if it had been greatly frightened.

Was it attacked by fire rats?Were the firerats targeting this collar?Chu Jiu looked down at the shivering cow under the table, and suddenly understood something.

"Hey, on the ninth day of the ninth day, you don't want to eat before leaving?"

Dong Cang's daughter-in-law shouted from the back of Chu Jiu who was walking towards the courtyard gate.

"No sister-in-law, I'm in a hurry, please tell my brother!" Chu Jiu said and walked out of Dong Cang's yard.

However, he didn't find anything unusual until he reached the entrance of the alley.

At the entrance of the alley there is a big bluestone, on which sits an old man wearing an old-fashioned blue-gray padded jacket.

Before Chu Jiu could get close to him, the private plane quickly started to vibrate.

Looking up, he saw a little girl in a red coat walking not far away, but at the age of eight or nine, she didn't look like a child in this village in terms of her clothing and temperament.

"Master, do you know whose family that child belongs to?" Chu Jiu just walked up to the old man, leaned down and asked loudly.

But the old man kept waving his hands and didn't speak. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether the old man meant "I don't know her" or something else.

While talking, the girl had already walked over, but Chu Jiu was surprised that her arrival did not cause any waves in the old man's slightly cloudy eyes. How should I put it, it was as if the girl was transparent, and the old man didn't see her ...

Chu Jiu pressed the vibrating private plane in his pocket that was about to disintegrate, walked quickly to catch up with the girl, and said quickly, "Stop! Who are you?"

"Mr. Dong..."

Before Chu Jiu finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice.

Turning his head subconsciously, he saw Chunsheng in a long black trench coat walking towards him.

"What a coincidence, I met you here again..." Chunsheng laughed.

What a coincidence?I don't think that's the case at all, is it?

Chu Jiu walked up to Chunsheng in two steps, grabbed his arms with both hands, and pushed him against the brick wall of the alley.

A series of actions were completed in front of the big bluestone.On the big bluestone, the mouth of the old man who witnessed the whole process opened into a capital O...

"Who is that girl? How did the Fire Rat appear here? How did you save me that day? How many things are you hiding from me?" Chu Jiu's eyes were sharp like a knife, and he looked straight into the room. In Chunsheng's eyes, two hands gripped Chunsheng's arms tightly like pliers, and he was afraid that he would bleed if he squeezed harder...

"..." Chunsheng leaned his head back subconsciously, and managed to distance himself from Chu Jiu's handsome face, but behind his head was a cold and hard wall, "Do you have to talk to me like this?"

"You didn't come here just to collect books with Laobao, did you? Who are you? What are you doing here?" Chu Jiu completely ignored Chunsheng's protest, and pressed on step by step with his neck stuck, his body from the chest down was almost It's all posted on Chunsheng...

"Let go of me first!" Chunsheng said sharply, trying hard on his arms to break free from Chu Jiu's hands.

"..." The two of them were deadlocked.

The old man on the big bluestone is still watching the performance of the two silently, his heart is full of horses: I live to be almost a hundred years old, and I have never seen it like this... Alas... The world is going down...

For a moment, Chu Jiu felt that Chunsheng's pupils seemed to have changed color—the originally dark pupils were gradually covered with a deep amber light and shadow...

In Chujiu's trance, Chunsheng broke free: "I warn you not to go too far!" He was arranging his crumpled clothes by Chujiu while speaking.

Unwilling Chu Jiu still rushed forward, but was attracted by a figure that flashed by not far away—isn't that Dong Ximing?

He went out and turned left without looking at the road, and walked quickly with his head down.

A thought flashed in Chu Jiu's mind: This kid is going to the old house!

So, the girl in red that I saw just now...is Gu Yu?That is clearly a demon!

"I'm telling you, don't leave, we haven't finished talking about the two of us!" Chu Jiu turned his head and said to Chun Sheng who was stretching the hem of his clothes behind him.

Chunsheng: "..." Are you fucking finished?

On the ninth day of the ninth day, he stepped forward to chase Dong Ximing, who knew that the child ran quite fast, and he had already disappeared after chasing to the gate of the old house.

The big black iron lock on the door of the old house is still hanging securely in place, and it looks even darker under the rain.

Didn't this kid come here?Chu Jiu frowned and looked at the big iron lock.

Suddenly, there was a splash in the yard.Chu Jiu's heart tightened, she didn't have time to think about it, she got up and climbed up the courtyard wall.

Chu Jiu's gaze scanned the entire courtyard, but nothing unusual was found, but...why is the door of the main room open a crack?Didn't you close it when you left just now?

While quickly drawing a talisman on his hand, he sideways pushed open the suspicious door...

Another rustling sound came from the east room, Chu Jiu walked over quickly, and caught a glimpse of a black shadow quickly getting under the bed.

Before he had time to think about it, Chu Jiu used his superb legwork again, exactly the same as that day when he overturned the bookstall on fire. With a big foot, he overturned the simple bed board.

At the same time as the bed board was lifted, he flew a talisman over, the movement was so smooth, it was at the textbook level...

However, when the bed board and Fu Qiqi fell down, he discovered what that black shadow was...

"Cow...why is it you again?" Chu Jiu stood next to the overturned bed board with her hips on her hips, one hand resting on her forehead, she didn't expect to make a big oolong...

The cow was obviously also petrified by Chu Jiu, and didn't know to escape, but shivered in the corner under the bed.A pair of dark green cat eyes seemed to be filled with tears immediately.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I didn't do it on purpose..." Seeing this, Chu Jiu hurriedly comforted, fearing to scare the already distraught cat to collapse.

Slowly he knelt down in front of the cow and reached out to pet the cat's head.

Behind the cat, something strange on the wall caught his attention.

What the hell is this?

The wall under the bed had already peeled off a thick layer due to the return of damp. A round object protruded from under the precarious wall. The circle was about ten centimeters above the ground, about the size of an egg, and it was perfectly round. Rough white and gray walls are out of place.

Chu Jiu reached out to brush off the wall that was about to fall off on the round protrusion, and a large doorknob-like thing made of some kind of metal appeared in front of Chu Jiu.

What is this switch for?Secret passages?darkroom?Chu Jiu lay down on the ground recklessly and began to study. There seemed to be words engraved on the handle, but it was a little blurry. It looked like a circle of numbers... This is 0... This is 8...

Twist it lightly, and the handle makes a clicking sound.

This is a combination lock?

Who set this lock?Is it grandpa?Or the original owner of this house?

If it's grandpa...

Chu Jiu subconsciously glanced at the full cabinet next to the bed, a golden light flashed through his eyes inadvertently...

That is……

触电一般，他的脑子里闪过那张从《资本论》里掉落的纸片，纸的背面用蓝黑色的墨水写着几个算式：0×2、1×2、8×2、9×2……大约是组成他生日的数字？

Try it first, Chu Jiu has always been a down-to-earth activist.He rolled up his sleeves three times and tried them one by one, the cold handle was turning in his hand.

1...9...finally 8...1...

Suddenly, he noticed that the private plane in his pocket began to vibrate slowly, and before he had time to think about it, the last 1 had already been unscrewed.

There was a loud bang, and a large piece of white ash on the wall fell down.

Chu Jiu was surprised to find a big pit with a square meter of one square meter in the ground in front of him in a cloud of dust rising out of nowhere!

His heart began to beat violently, and he cautiously looked into the hole.

A cool breath came up from the cave, Chu Jiu noticed a row of steps on one side of the cave, it seems that this is not a simple big pit, it is really a secret room! ?

He turned on the light of his mobile phone and looked in, and found that it was a basement-like room, more than ten square meters in size, usually under this house, and half under the next-door house.Next door is... Dong's Ancestral Hall...

There are some things that look like boxes and cabinets against the wall in the room. I don't know what is inside.

Chu Jiu simply walked in with his mobile phone in his hands, not noticing that the private plane in his pocket was vibrating more and more violently.

There were more than ten steps. When Chu Jiu came to the lower floor, he looked around and saw that there was a lamp on the top of the secret room.

After searching for a long time on the wall at the entrance, Chu Jiu really found a white switch.

When the switch was pressed with a snap, the light flickered twice and turned on.Chu Jiu could now see clearly that there were some old books in the cabinets against the wall in the room.

This is...an ancient book collected by grandpa?I don't know if there is a genealogy of the Dong family in it?

Chu Jiu carefully opened the first box, and saw several dusty booklets lined up side by side.Randomly pulled out a book, flipped through the contents, he couldn't help being surprised...
