Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts
Chapter 37
Pass through the outer courtyard, open the door and enter the living room. Sure enough, I saw two familiar guys sitting on the sofa. However, the weird atmosphere in the room told me that I came back at a very bad time.
"Yo, you guys are here." I turned away from Lao Chu who was winking at me and Dao Feng who was sitting next to Ji Xuan expressionlessly, and then looked at the fiery mom and Ji Xuan who were discussing something. , the mood was extremely complicated for a while.
"Stinky boy, hurry up and greet the guests." Old Chu gave a serious cough and said to me while winking, "I've been waiting for you here for two hours."
Seeing Lao Chu's amiable face, I thought to myself that it was difficult to tolerate before, why did he switch sides so quickly, what kind of drama is Lao Chu playing?
When Dao Feng saw me, there was no change in his face. He stretched out his right hand to the coffee table and picked up two walnuts. When he tightened his fingers slightly, he heard two "clicks". When he opened his palm again, the two walnuts were completely broken into pieces. cinder block.
Dao Feng handed the broken walnuts to Ji Xuan, who looked at me proudly, then turned around and gave half to my mother, saying: "Sister, come to eat walnuts, you should bring our knife, You don’t have to do it yourself to eat walnuts.”
"Wow, that's true. Why is the knife so powerful? Normally, I can't crack open this walnut with a hammer. He can squeeze it open with one hand?" Mom asked with a smile on her face as she took the walnut. .
From the looks of it, my mother has completely subdued these two, no wonder Lao Chu fell so quickly.After experiencing my "running away" incident, my mother has a vague tendency to take the lead, and Lao Chu has no status at present, so it is only natural that Lao Chu will follow my mother's wishes.
But what surprised me the most was not this incident, but Dao Feng's badly injured arm.
If I'm not mistaken, Daofeng didn't use too much force when he crushed the walnuts just now, and his relaxed appearance was like crushing an ant. Daofeng is extremely powerful. I don’t think it’s unusual, but these walnuts at home, I usually try my best to crack them open for my mother, Lao Chu, and he can handle them easily after being injured. Could it be that his hands are fine, because the doctor deliberately exaggerated to defraud medical expenses ?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Dao Feng...you, are your hands alright?"
Dao Feng's dark eyes swept over, I don't know why I was breathless, and my heartbeat started to speed up strangely.
"It's okay." After looking at me for a while, he turned his head and said lightly.
"Don't listen to him talking nonsense." Ji Xuan sneered, glared at me and said, "How could it be fine? After more than a month of rehabilitation, I could crush an apple with one hand before. If I didn't come here in a hurry to find someone, maybe It will recover more thoroughly."
"Sister Xuan..." Hearing the sarcasm in Ji Xuan's words, I felt as if a thorn had been stabbed in my heart. I felt uncomfortable, and I didn't dare to look at Dao Feng, because I was at least half responsible for his injury.
But I don't want to run away, and I don't want to hide from Dao Feng. To be honest, I like him very much. Working with him always gives me a relaxed feeling. If I lose a brother just because of my cowardice and incompetence, wouldn't it be The loss outweighs the gain.
With a wry smile, I forced myself to look at Dao Feng. After noticing my gaze, Dao Feng stood up and walked out of the house. I froze for a moment, and almost wanted to hold his hand when he passed by, but Reason tells me that the consequences of doing so will only make myself more humble.
Immediately after Dao Feng left, Ji Xuan came over and gave me a pinch, grabbed the bag from my hand and said, "Go and accompany him for a stroll, and come back for dinner in an hour."
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly pushed me out of the door, turned around and continued to deal with my mother who was completely confused about the situation.
Standing outside the door, I found that Dao Feng was waiting for me not far away, so I hurried over and walked out of the outer courtyard side by side with him.
In the deep winter, the weather is very cold. Without the warm current in the house, the whole person is frozen.
I took Daofeng towards the park, thinking about how to speak.
"Is your hand okay?" Looking at his stern side face, I asked tentatively: "The doctor told me that day that your right shoulder was severely injured and it would affect the entire arm."
Dao Feng paused a little when he heard my words, then continued walking and said, "It's not as serious as Ji Xuan said."
That's what happened...
I can't tell what it was like, I started to regret not staying at that time, but thinking about the results now, I feel that it is worthwhile to do so, the waste that can't help, will only make Dao Feng more likely to be injured, I don't want to do it A wimp who needs protection everywhere.
But now, I want to know what Dao Feng thinks, will he misunderstand me, thinking that I don't want to meet them again?
"Dao Feng..." Hesitating how to speak, I turned my head and suddenly met a pair of golden cat eyes, so scared that I blurted out the next few words without thinking: "Oh shit!"
The black cat emerged from the hat behind Dao Feng's jacket, stared at me with its big shrewd eyes for a few seconds, then shifted its target, stretched out its small cat paws, and struck behind me.
I glanced back and realized that it was playing with Xiaohai. It was probably the first time Xiaohai saw an animal that could communicate with it. He curiously teased the black cat with his slender and white fingers, completely disregarding my master’s willingness to Talk about things up front.
When Dao Feng saw that I stopped to look at the cat in the middle of my words, instead of asking, he whispered, "Are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" I was stupefied by his question, I didn't turn my head around, and realized what he was referring to after a while, and immediately said: "How is it possible, you underestimate me, the thing I'm least afraid of in my life It’s just ghosts, so why would you be afraid of that kind of place! I said I will help you find what you want, and I will definitely help you to the end, so don’t think too much about it.”
Knowing that Dao Feng regarded me as a coward, a surge of anger suddenly rose in my heart, and I couldn't help but speak a little harshly.After thousands of calculations, he didn't realize that he thought I was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so I ran away.
"Yeah." Dao Feng didn't say anything more, took out two photos from his pocket and handed them to me, and said: "The things brought out from below have been sold by someone else, and the money will be transferred to your card, and we will leave in a few days Go to Yunnan, everything you want to know is in these two photos..."
Seeing me take the photo, he said again: "I don't mean to blame you, the injury is my own fault, it has nothing to do with you, so don't think too much about it."
My body trembled almost invisible, and when I looked up again, Dao Feng had already walked to the front.
Holding those two photos, my mind is full of what he just said.
It turns out that he knows, he has always understood the distress and anxiety in my heart, and he knows what I am worried about, so he said these words to comfort me.
"Hey, Lao Dao!" I was suddenly a little excited and excited, and felt that it was really good to be a partner with Dao Feng. At least, he could understand me and get along with him without adding unnecessary troubles.
"how."
"Let's become sworn brothers, I want to be your brother."
"Blessed?"
"Yeah, I've seen TV, it's the kind of people who don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day..."
"..."
"Forget it..." I looked at Dao Feng's speechless expression, knowing that only my brain could come up with such a hot-headed idea, so I dragged Dao Feng to do it with me. will be killed...
With a light cough, I looked down at the two photos in my hand, and found that the first one was five palms reflected in the picture. These five palms were different from each other. It can be said that the difference is very obvious, each has its own characteristics. One hand is missing a little finger, and there are only four fingers. The second hand is slender and soft. There is a string of pure gold bracelets on the wrist. It is a woman's hand. The third hand wears a glove, but judging from the wrist joints It belonged to a man, and there was a strange pattern printed on the back of the fourth hand. The fifth hand was ordinary, without any special features, but because of this, it became the most unusual hand in this photo.
I don't understand why, I don't know what Dao Feng is trying to show me with this photo.
Shaking my head, I turned to the next one, and saw that it was a very old black and white photo. The person who took the photo probably didn’t hold it steady, or it was too urgent to take a photo. The whole field of vision was shaking, blurred in the image A few figures can be seen faintly, among them is a woman who is looking back, the background is the wild woods, and obvious mountains, stones and forest leaves can be seen.
"What is this?" I flicked the photo on my hand and asked Dao Feng: "The friendship testimony of five good friends?"
Dao Feng didn't answer my question, but asked instead: "You really didn't see anything?"
I looked at the photo again: "I see, it's just that five people went on a trip, someone followed behind and took a sneak shot, and then the five people showed their hands and took a group photo, but judging by the colors of the photos, there is a difference of decades What about?"
In my impression, China's photographic technology began to change around 40. Before that, black and white photos were always used, and color photos began to appear after [-]. Needless to say, the first one was black and white, and the second one was viewed in terms of pixels. It is obviously a product of recent years, and the difference between them is at least three to forty years.
"Three or 40 years?" I suddenly realized, Dao Feng asked me what I saw, and he was referring to this: "The time difference between the two photos is so large, and the hands in the photos don't seem to have changed, especially the woman's hands. , not at all like an old woman in her 60s or [-]s, she is simply a young girl in her early twenties."
Seeing that I finally understood, Dao Feng nodded and said: "That's right, after the cooperation 70 years ago, only these five of the 64 people have appeared, but no one can be sure whether they are alive or dead, until someone secretly took a photo of their back, from then on Since then, people have been investigating their affairs, but most of them have disappeared. Three years ago, my elder brother also took people to look for them, but only sent back these two photos."
"You mean, these five people didn't die, and they have lived until now after the incident 70 years ago?" I looked at Dao Feng in amazement: "How is it possible, isn't this nonsense, if they really live forever Why didn’t you come out and tell you, instead of hiding and refusing to show up?”
"Indeed." Dao Feng said: "So the eldest brother mentioned in the letter that these two photos are just one of the clues, and it cannot be ruled out that the latter was forged by someone who found the bodies of the five people and took away their belongings. In order to cover up the truth of the past, we have now found another way, as long as we enter the place where the 64 people fell, we may be able to know where they went."
"Understood." I repeatedly looked at the two weird photos in my hand, and asked, "Then why do we have to wait a few days before leaving? Why don't we leave tomorrow."
"To wait for someone." Dao Feng turned his head and teased the black cat on his shoulder, and said lightly.
"Yo, you guys are here." I turned away from Lao Chu who was winking at me and Dao Feng who was sitting next to Ji Xuan expressionlessly, and then looked at the fiery mom and Ji Xuan who were discussing something. , the mood was extremely complicated for a while.
"Stinky boy, hurry up and greet the guests." Old Chu gave a serious cough and said to me while winking, "I've been waiting for you here for two hours."
