I walked to the wooden table, opened the drawer and looked around. There were a few very worn books inside, but nothing else. I searched everywhere else, but found nothing.
I didn't believe that there were no clues here, so I focused on those books. I opened the pages page by page and finally found something in the thickest book.
It is also a black and white photo, exactly the same as the old man's photo. It is the three of them on the photo. The reverse also has the addresses of several people written on it, but there is an extra time on it: "May 1958, by the Qinling Divine Lake."
.I took out the old man's photo and compared it. I was sure that it was developed from the same negative. No need to think about it, Blind Man Chen must also have one.
Now it is basically certain that the three of them have a deep relationship, so what role does He Tao play among the three? And the Qinling Sacred Lake? Where is that place?
Although I am not willing to find anything more useful, it is very rare to find these. At least it proves one thing. The old man has more friends than I thought. At least I have never heard of this He Tao.
.Also, they went to a place called Qinling Sacred Lake together, and this photo was taken there.
I took off the photo and stuffed it into my bag. The address seemed to have been invalidated and the clues were broken. However, I was not decadent. The old lady told me that He Tao and his family went to a well-known place in Hanzhong City.
place, the group decided to look there again when I go back tomorrow.
I wrote down a phone number and address and put them in a drawer and lay on the bed to rest. Due to the exhaustion from the past few days, I quickly fell asleep.
But I have a problem. If I am in a new environment, I will be very frightened when I fall asleep. I will wake up several times a night, even if I am given a presidential suite.
In a daze, I woke up again, and subconsciously looked at the window. It will be the 15th day of the month in two days. The moon was very bright, and the window shining on it was like a piece of white paper.
But this time I saw a dark figure standing directly in front of the window. My scalp exploded, and I suddenly woke up completely.
In this strange place, when I was half asleep, I suddenly saw a shadow standing in front of the window. This was even scarier than seeing a corpse in a coffin come alive. My heart almost stopped beating, if I hadn't tried my best to control it.
, I'm afraid I have already screamed in fear.
My mind gradually regained its sanity. I knew it was a person, but I didn't know who it was. What was the purpose of coming here in the middle of the night?
Soon, I thought that this person must be targeting me. Everyone in the village knew that I entered this village and moved into this house today. What on earth was he going to do to me? It would definitely not be chatting.
, otherwise I’ll just knock on the door.
I suddenly thought, could this person be related to He Tao? Yes, he must know about He Tao and couldn't tell what I was here for, so he kept standing in front of the window hesitating.
When I thought of this, I suddenly felt some hope in my heart, hoping that he would enter this house, which would prove that he is indeed related to He Tao. If I catch him, I might be able to ask him something useful. Of course, if this
I am just a thief, and if I want to steal, I can only consider myself unlucky.
I lay motionless on the bed, and it took nearly half an hour before the black figure quietly left. But soon I heard the door being opened, and that person came in.
Then there were very slight footsteps in the main room, which continued directly to my bed. Although there was moonlight outside, I could only see an outline in the room. The person was standing straight in front of my bed. I felt
He was staring at me.
I didn't dare to move at all, trying to keep my breathing as steady as possible to prevent the other party from seeing any flaws.
The man looked very careful and stood there for nearly five minutes before slowly moving to the table, opening the drawer and looking at it, and finally focused on my package.
Here it comes! Sure enough, the man moved to my package, opened it carefully and rummaged through it.
That's when! I suddenly sat up from the bed, rushed forward and grabbed one of the man's arms without saying a word.
The man was startled by my sudden movement and fell to the ground. I jumped on him, but at this moment, he grabbed a piece of broken head from somewhere and hit me hard.
My head was in severe pain. I let go of my hand, and the man took the opportunity to get up from the ground and ran toward the door anxiously.
How could I let him run away like this? I didn't even have time to put on my clothes and shoes, so I chased him out barefoot.
It was only when I was completely under the moonlight that I saw clearly that the man was very thin, like a half-grown child, which made me doubt whether this was really a child from some family who was naughty and wanted to steal my things.
?
But then I suddenly saw something in his hand. From the outline, I could tell it was a photo. I made sure of it and ran after it with all my strength.
After all, he was a native, and he was very familiar with the environment here. However, I bit him hard and he could not get rid of me. In the end, he simply ran towards the back of the village, where there were low mountains and woods.
If I let him get in, I guess it would be difficult for me to catch him.
In desperation, I shouted at the man: "Don't run, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to ask you some questions."
But the man was unmoved at all and continued to rush towards the woods quickly.
At this time, I had to take some strong medicine. I took it as a gamble and shouted: "What is your relationship with He Tao? Don't worry, I am the same person as Mr. He, and I am a descendant of his friend."
, I came to see him this time specifically to ask for some news. You should know that I came alone and will not pose a threat to you. "
Sure enough, following my words, the man's body paused, and finally gradually slowed down, until he finally stopped in front of the woods.
I felt happy and wanted to run over quickly, but the man backed away and waved his hand at me repeatedly, signaling me not to go over.
I had no choice but to stop. At this time, I was only about ten meters away from him. It was really cold here at night, but I didn't feel it due to the strenuous exercise. I just felt a little cold on the soles of my feet.
Now that the man stopped, the matter would be much easier to handle. After thinking about it, I said: "I don't have any hostility towards you or anyone here. I just want to find Mr. He. I want to ask him about something."
matter."
The man stood there quietly for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at the photo in his hand, but refused to say a word.
I thought to myself that this person was too cautious and refused to speak even in this situation. But now I had no choice. The initiative was completely in the hands of the other party. I said: "Yes, I have a picture of that photo."
Relatives are one of them. I can only tell you that I also have a photo like this in my hand. If you don’t believe it, you can go back with me and have a look."
The man looked a little confused and looked at the photo in the moonlight. After a while, he moved towards me, but stopped again after taking only two steps.
I saw that he wanted to go back with me, but I wasn't sure yet of the authenticity of my words. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed, nodded to him, then turned around and walked back.
Sure enough, the man followed me step by step, but as long as I stopped, he would stop immediately. I was helpless and could only keep walking back.
When I returned to He Tao's house, I was completely cold. As soon as I entered the house, I quickly put on all my clothes, but the man did not follow me in, but stood quietly in front of the window.
I understood what he meant, so I took the old man's photo out of the package and posted it on the window. I thought that with the moonlight, I could see it clearly outside.
After a while, the man finally moved, nodded towards me, and then slowly walked into the room.
Through the light, I finally saw his appearance clearly. He was a man in his twenties. Of course, from the appearance, he was very thin, but he was very handsome, as quiet as a scholar. But
I soon discovered that his palms were covered with calluses and his hands were very rough. He must be someone who often does farm work.
After the man came in, he put the photo on the table again. Before I could say anything, he pointed at my head and showed an apologetic look.
My head was not broken, it was just a bag knocked out. It was not a big problem at all, so I said it was okay, but I discovered one thing. This person seemed to be mute and could not speak. Although it was a bit rude, I still asked
After a moment, sure enough, the other party nodded, then walked to a bed next to the table and sat down.
No wonder he kept silent just now, Qingqing is mute! I walked up to him and watched him write a few words on the table with saliva: "Who are you?"
I chuckled lightly, held the photo in front of him, then pointed at the old man in the middle and said, "This man is my grandfather."
The mute showed an expression of realization, and then grinned, showing his white teeth. He wrote on the table again: "What do you want to ask?"
There was nothing to hide in this matter, so I said: "My grandfather suddenly disappeared recently. I can't find him anywhere. I thought he had always been in contact with Mr. He, so I wanted to come over and inquire to see if he knew.
The whereabouts of my grandfather.”
The mute thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and then wrote: "It has been ten years since Grandpa He died."
When I saw it, I was a little dumbfounded. He Tao was already dead? How could it be possible? If he was dead, who had sent the keel rubbings?
Seeing that I kept frowning and saying nothing, the mute simply took out a pen from his pocket, found a piece of paper and started writing on it. It took him a few minutes to hand it to me. I only understood it after reading it.
