Chapter 52: The Ancient Tomb in the Notebook
But later, Ren Qiancang took advantage of the holiday after elementary school graduation exams, and Ye Yan and Ye Yan took pocket money to retrieve the old house of Ren's family. There he saw his mother. When he went there, her mother was already dead on the hospital bed. There was a bowl of noodles with black hair next to the bed, and her mother was lying on the bed, with white bugs all over her body. It was the kind in Wu Guang Express.
At first, he thought that his father was too busy, so he neglected his mother. No one knew that his mother died in the old house while she was sick.
But his father just told him not to ask about it, he would handle it. After that, he did not have the funeral he expected. When he got older and slipped to the old house, he asked many people and didn't know where his mother went. Finally, he found a coffin full of insects in an empty room behind the old house. That was his mother.
From then on, he had always hated his father and began to investigate what happened in the Ren family well.
Ren Qiancang sat on the roof, holding himself with both hands, and said, "Wu Guang used my mother to anger me, and he really knew me very well. He knew that letting me see my mother again would definitely deepen my hatred for my father. He succeeded. Wu Guang's counterattack was more and more serious. Even if he didn't use Taoism, he could use the human hearts to let me follow his design."
I reached out and hugged Ren Qiancang, put my head on his shoulder: "Stop talking about this."
He turned his head, looked at me, and smiled, "Aren't you afraid at that time?"
"Scared, but not afraid."
"I killed someone. This time I really killed someone. Or did I kill my dad with my own hands."
"We said that if you want to go to hell, you will go to hell together. What are you afraid of?"
"Shangshang." He lowered his head and kissed my lips. I didn't avoid it. Even if he was a real murderer now, I wouldn't let him go.
Baoye’s phone call came at this time. Ren Qiancang answered the call impatiently and said, “Why is it so wrong every time you call?”
Mr. Bao said on the other side of his phone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't see if you roll on the bed. Otherwise, I'll fight again later?" After pausing for two seconds, he said: "You're still fucking? If something happens, you're still in the mood to get out! I asked you, how did your father die? Okay, don't you tell me, I just took a look and I knew that it was yours. I said, Uncle Ren, can't you restrain yourself? If you kill someone with your own hands, how can I lead you in the future? Even if I have a way to bring you there, it's impossible for someone to reincarnate immediately. Uncle Ren, you are the uncle, how can you still be beaten by Wu Guang's way?..."
We didn't know what Master Bao said later, because Ren Qiancang hung up his phone, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said, "On the fifteenth night, I should have sat with you to appreciate the moon like this. But there were too many things that night."
"Can't we watch the moon here now? Although the moon seems not as round as yesterday the day before yesterday, and there are clouds in the sky covering the moonlight, it doesn't matter, you are still so handsome." We were not disturbed by Master Bao's phone call at all. That night, we looked at the moon from the rooftop and didn't return to the room until the early morning.
He hugged me and kissed me, but I didn't refuse. He was a murderer, I was an accomplice, and we were going to hell together anyway. When I just walked into the small building, I would never have thought that one day I would commit such a crime. But now, I no longer care. As long as I can be with him, only he can give me the feeling of love and home.
Master Bao came directly at dawn the next day. I was still asleep on the bed. Ren Qiancang threw the keys through the window and asked him to open the door and come in by himself.
When I finished washing and returned to the living room on the first floor, Mr. Bao had already prepared all the breakfast for me and said, "My husband, fortunately, your husband doesn't need to eat, otherwise you are the ones, who dares to ask for it?"
"Well, I know you are virtuous and you know your wife."
"Wife!" Master Bao was angry, "Auntie, can you change the word? I'm very unhappy that people say I'm a wife! I'm still the leader in the school, and you're talking about a wife?"
Master Bao was angrily eating breakfast on the large antique table, and I first came to Ren Qiancang to look at the thing in his hand. It was a very old, yellowed page, and a small notebook with a ** avatar. Some papers were ragged and the words on it were a little blurred. After all, the ink at that time was not waterproof and poorly protected, and the handwriting was easily blurred.
"What is this?" I asked.
"The information of an ancient tomb should be used for tomb robbers. Tomb opening with scientific research nature will not be recorded like this."
Mr. Bao was drinking porridge over there and said, "Zhengjie, I am worthy of being a member of the Ren family. Do you think it's a big deal to come out, and everyone is like you, hide and kiss me, and I'll go there? Yesterday, Wu Guang was busy and worked hard. Because of the confidentiality of this matter, he had to do many things with his own hands. He didn't go home until the early morning.
It was just right for me when he was not at home. I slipped into the old man's room. He took a small flashlight and shone it! Wow! I felt like I had entered the ear room. Why was there an antique in front of me? I flipped it inside and out, and finally I found the book by me who got under the bed and took off one of his boards. If I were not familiar with the ancient pieces, I would never see that the board had a mystery. The bed in that era would not have had that decorative board, but fortunately I went to see it with many thoughts.
When I saw that book, I knew I had found the right thing, so I bit the flashlight and looked under the bed, afraid that Wu Guang would come to check it out. Is it easy for me? Can the merchant aunt understand these things?"
I shook my head, I really didn't understand this.
Ren Qiancang said: "In front is the design drawings of the various agencies in the tomb passage, and a road map to bypass the agencies. Then we arrived at the central tomb. There is a sarcophagus in the central tomb. Whose tomb is the tomb?" he asked.
Bao Ye said, "Uncle Ren can't see that it's natural, because you haven't learned Taoism. See that sarcophagus! Sarcophagus is rarely used in ancient China. Because it's difficult to make a coffin. The sarcophagus in the record are very powerful figures. The sarcophagus are engraved with many Taoist symbols. The middle is a pattern of Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish. I guess that the Taoist people used this sarcophagus at the beginning. As for who it is, I don't know, what's the use. The book does not record who the owner of the tomb is. But you see, this records the route to enter? What are you doing? It's just to go to the next time. I won't go again, and I'll go for the second time. The rules and customs do not allow this. So it seems that the reason they want to go in should not go to the tomb robbers."
"What are you going to do?" I asked. I was a little confused when I heard this.
"I'm going to transport this coffin! When I first went there, I couldn't get it out, so I recorded the route and prepared to transport this coffin for the second time."
Master Bao said, "I think so too."
"From the perspective of the times, the one who used this book should have been the years of the Cultural Revolution. Even if it was not the years, it was close to these years. At that time, the one who led the family should have been my grandfather."
Master Bao asked, "Yes, uncle, do you think the sarcophagus can be made out with the Ren family's ability?"
"Yes! The Ren family belongs to a private collection, but there are many things that the national collection wants but cannot be obtained. If the Ren family wants it all, I think it can be shipped out."
"Yes! The construction of the large yard was more than fifty years ago, and it was less than a few years away from the time when the coffin was transported out."
Ren Qiancang frowned: "Are you suspicious that the coffin in the tomb under the big yard?"
"It's just suspicion. I'll find a store later and scan it. Then I'll ask my master. Maybe he'll tell me everything when he's angry. I feel that if there's really such a sarcophagus below, the Ren family wouldn't have built such a large tomb to seal it. There must be something special."
Ren Qiancang did not hand the notebook back to Master Bao, but handed it to me, saying, "Go upstairs and take a photo first."
"Yes." I quickly took the book and went upstairs. Master Bao was stunned for a moment, but he did not object.
I held the book and looked at the yellowed pages on it, and some handwriting that I couldn't see clearly. Is this really an ancient tomb? It turns out that the tomb robbers are so close to us.
I took a very careful photo of no page in the notebook. Even if I took a few more photos, I had to make sure I could see the words inside clearly. Then I returned the notebook to Master Bao.
Ren Qiancang also took me to the city center when he went to the collection. He was looking for all the collections that were in and out of the collection in the past ten years from 1966 to 1976, and maybe he could find some other things about the tomb.
I went to find Lele. However, Lele did not go to work, and it was the little girl who was looking at the store. The little girl said that Lele and her boyfriend went to see the house. They planned to get married next spring. The man's family paid for the money and asked them to choose a two-bedroom apartment. Hearing this, I suddenly felt that Lele was so happy. Although I didn't find a rich boyfriend, it was also very happy to have a stable family. Sometimes, happiness is such a simple thing.
I went to find Lang Feiyi again. Today she had time, so she went to the cafe with me and sat down. She told me why his father chose her husband at forty years old. Before, Ye Yan looked young, but in fact he was almost forty years old. Now he chose a real estate boss in Lin City, who was 42 years old and had a son in high school. She married her and became a stepmother for others.
