    Chapter 46 [1/59]

    Ye Feng was really furious this time, and stood up abruptly: "Impossible! What evidence do you have?!"

    Amei raised her head and looked at him: "After many years, I don't have any substantial evidence. I overheard their conversation, and I couldn't just record it. Besides, I can't exorcise ghosts in the first place. Where can I figure out what happened?"

    "Then aren't you spitting blood?!" Ye Feng clenched his fists, but seeing Amei's pale cheeks and firm expression, he felt like his anger was hitting cotton, and he became more and more irritable.

    Amei said again: "Ashes, I only know about ashes."

    Ye Feng was stunned.

    Lu Yingjiu also remembered the ashes in the little crocodile toy.

    Amei said: "Your grandfather once said, 'Only ashes are useful, you can pray to her', but I don't know the rest. Then, they summoned the spider mother, and the people in the village began to transform into spiders. "

    She closed her eyes: "My mother worked as a cleaner in a sanatorium during her lifetime. She didn't understand exorcism at all. She just did simple hygiene every day, and even some patients' rooms would not let her go in. But you have a so -called activity, Called 'Visit The Mountain'. "

    "Almost all people going to VISIT The MOUNTAIN are exorcists, making some broken runes or something, my mother does not understand. But VISIT the MOUNTAIN wants to bring tribute, such as a large number of paper money ingots, or various apples and meats. When you are solemn, you will lift two or three suckling pigs, roast goose ... In short, you have worship. "

    "For the few ghost exorcists who went there, the talisman paper alone was heavy enough, not to mention the need to climb the mountain. Therefore, they occasionally ask others to help transport things and give extra money. My mother has been there twice. Second-rate."

    Ye Feng slowly loosened his clenched fists.

    Although his heart was still mixed with anger and horror, what Amei said was the same as what he had learned from the elders of the Ye family.

    Plus the ashes thing...

    Could it be that Amei really didn't lie?

    Chaotic thoughts crowded into his mind, like a mess.

    The sound of the rain was a little quieter, tick-tock hit the top of the pavilion, and slowly flowed down the carved body of the snake.

    Others didn't know what happened, they stared at each other with big eyes, and they didn't dare to ask.

    Lu yingjiu asked: "So, your mother has participated in VISIT The MOUNTAIN?"

    "Yes." Amei nodded, "She also died because of VISIT The Mountain. Visit the Mountain was unexpected. It was 95 years or 93 years at a time.

    She coughed twice again, her face paler: "Both times were caused by mudslides caused by heavy rain. The first time they were just trapped on the mountain, and they quickly returned to the hospital safely. Not so lucky, it took several lives and my mother died because of it."

    Ye Feng's face was also pale, and he slowly sat down.

    Lu Yingjiu asked him in a low voice, "When did your second grandmother die?"

    "00 years..." Ye Feng murmured, "It happened to be 00 years, but they clearly told me that she died of illness."

    Amei added: "They didn't say that my mother died because of the nursing home."

    She smiled slightly sarcastically: "You don't know the situation at that time. In fact, many people in the village have great opinions on the nursing home and think it is unlucky. Who would want to have ghosts all over the mountain? In this situation Next, if you talk about what happened in the hospital, and your employees are dead, how can the nursing home continue to open?"

    "So after the mudslide, the people in the courtyard found me and asked me to claim to the public that my mother stumbled when she went up the mountain by herself."

    "You agree?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

    "I agree." Amei said calmly, "because they gave me a lot of money, and with that money, I can go out to study. My mother's dream is to send me out to this small mountain village. I've never seen so much money."

    "It's a shame that half a month before I left, this village turned into spiders. People who turn into spiders can't leave this mountain range for the rest of their lives, and I'm also trapped here. I'm with you this time. Go, this is my last gamble."

    "So," she almost gritted her teeth, "I am so unwilling. Obviously, later, I can go out of this village and never come back again! It's really unfair to fucking!"

    There was a windy wind outside the pavilion, and the sea of ​​trees was bent.

    Women's face is mixed with sweat and sweat, full of anger.

    I don't know how long it took, Amei took a deep breath.

    Then she slowly relaxed the muscles below.

    "It's time to this day," she added again, "To this day, I talk about this, not to blame anything. After all I want to point out that your so -called "second grandma ', I'm afraid die is not so simple."

    "If the spider mother realizes her wish, it will definitely give the wishing person a price. Those bizarre missing and death of the nursing home must be here."

    "You said that your second grandfather three times and five times, and when you come back here to find the truth, I'm afraid it's not because of any sense of responsibility, but guilty."

    No one spoke again for a while.

    Ye Feng sits suddenly, and even the rain floats in, and he does not realize that he wet his body.

    Silence for a long time.

    In the end, Lu Yingjiu spoke first: "The rain is small, let's hurry up and hurry."

    He patted Ye Feng's shoulder and motioned him to cheer up: "Wait until the place to think, these are all the things before."

    This topic makes the atmosphere that is not good, which is heavier.

    Everyone rushed silently and rushed to the hill where the next pavilion was located.

    There were no spiders all the way, and the typhoon was almost unable to open his eyes. The rain was randomly hit on his face without half a second.

    Even on the road to the third pavilion, a large thick branch fell from the sky and smashed the two people's head. Fortunately, Lu Yingjiu's response was fast, and he directed Hair Balls to fly out.

    Fortunately, it was a long time. saw that there was no chase behind me, and took a good rest again in the pavilion. Everyone calmed down, and finally didn't fall as miserable on the mountain road.

    According to the VISIT The MOUNTAIN route drawn by Ye FENG, they do not need to take the full journey.

    There are 35 mountain heads, which are 35 pavilions, which are not too far away.

    According to the route, the 21st pavilion is very close to the road at the foot of the mountain, with only 30 minutes in the middle. They only need to reach the 21st pavilion, and then go through the dangerous midway, and they can go to the place where there are people.

    Along the way, when it was close to the 10th pavilion, time pointed at 8 o'clock in the evening.

    Lu Yingjiu looked back, and everyone's faces were full of tiredness, and the speed slowly slowed a lot. Although on the way, he continued to put them with rune paper and gave him the hot tea and snacks that he was leisure to him. Divided out.

    Seeing that it was a man trembling slightly.

    Lu Yingjiu remembers that he was the one who waved a fruit knife at the foot of the mountain.

    Along the way, watched this person's vision. If the road greeted the wine, the person was finished.

    Lu Yingjiu sighed, and poured him a cup of hot water again: "Drink something, it's almost the place."

    The man was stunned and picked up, and whispered, "... Thank you."

    After this round, Lu Yingjiu was gone at all of the hot water, and the thermos cup was empty.

    He had a little subtle guilt.

    It wasn't because he regretted the hot water, but that he felt that his leisure was brought by him alone. Now he didn't have time to drink a few sips, and his mind was put on the surrounding environment and stickers.

    He was afraid of being unhappy. He just wanted to say something with honor, and he took a mystery to him.

    Then quietly stuffed him a new insulation cup.

    Lu Yingjiu opened it, and there was a hot wolfberry tea inside, full of fooled.

    He smiled at him with leisurely: "Drink it."

    Lu Yingjiu:?

    His eyes fell on the mysterious backpack again, and I couldn't help asking, "How big is your bag ..."

    "It's not too big." Jing Xian still held him and said with a sullen voice, "Drink it, this is for you alone.

    Lu Yingjiu heard the words, and couldn't help but hook the corner of his mouth.

    He looked down, and there were a few big characters engraved on the thermal insulation cup: [lyj exclusive]

    The words are well written, and the pen is strong, and it is completely leisurely; this strange and cute behavior is also a leisure style.

    but……

    Lu Yingjiu asked again, "Why do my name use pinyin abbreviation?"

    "I'm afraid of others." Geraphic said, "How can my daughter -in -law's name, how can I know others casually."

    "What." Lu Yingjiu laughed, "What strange concept is you, just like elementary school students."

    "Don't care about it," Jing leisurely urged him, "You drink quickly."

    Lu Yingjiu held the thermos cup and took a sip.

    The fragrance exploded in the mouth, the warmth warmed the tip of the tongue, falling down like a fire, and the blood was immersed in each drop of blood. He drank a few sips, and he was too warm and comfortable.

    "Is it delicious?" Jing asked him.

    "Um." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

    Gong Xian gave him a pack of snacks again: "Is this delicious?"

    Lu Yingjiu laughed, and said that this was the same as coaxing a child. He still answered: "It's delicious."

    Suddenly his eyes lighted up, and after a few seconds, he said, "Then you see, all have passed for a few days, have you started to like me a little bit?"

    The drunkard's meaning is not wine, and the meaning of leisure is not tea.

    In a sense, the meaning of leisure lies in wine ... the one he is holding now.

    Lu Yingjiu bent his eyes and smiled: "Guess."

    "That's a bit like that."

    "Well," Lu Yingjiu still smiled, "Guess it is right, don't tell you."

    Seeing that he laughed so much, he was a little deer in his heart, bouncing, and he couldn't wait to make 80 cups of wolfberry tea on the spot.

    Unfortunately, the environment is not good. Lu Yingjiu left his leisurely hand, speeded up his footsteps, and continued to explore the road.

    After another half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the 10th pavilion.

    According to Ye Feng, the 10th pavilion was built very well, and it was specifically resting for VISIT The Mountain. Now that it is true, the pavilion is on the top of the mountain, a little bit below is a lake between the mountains, and there are five old wooden houses.

    One of the wooden houses was broken, and half of the roof was gone. The furniture in the room was blowing and rain all year round. There is also a room with a complicated pattern on the wall. It is the rune paper of the Ye family, and I don't know what it is hidden inside.

    The remaining three rooms are quite complete.

    In order to explore the nursing home, the anchors brought a series of things, including fast food, snacks, small cans and flashlights, and sleeping bags.

    Although a lot of things were fell out of the hotel in a hurry, the rest can be sent in handy, which is unfortunately fortunate.

    They were divided into two batches. One group of people cleaned up the house and blocked the water leakage. The other group of people sorted out what they could eat and used.

    The rain is already small, only a little bit of drizzle.

    I don't know if it is a good sign.

    Lu Yingjiu saw those anchors without any problems, and he didn't know what he was playing, so he went to find Ye Feng again.

    Ye Feng was squatting in front of the wooden house with runes to study, and she murmured something in her mouth.

    Lu Yingjiu stood beside him and asked, "Can you solve it?"

    "It's easy to solve it." Ye Feng replied, "I am familiar with these runes, and the age is long. No one is maintained. It has faded a lot. The effect is far from that."

    He checked it carefully again, throwing out a few rune paper on his hand, and sticking it at the door of the wooden house.

    A few seconds later, accompanied by "squeak", the wooden house opened itself.

    The smell of Chen Rotten came from, and it was very pungent. Ye Feng covered her nose with her sleeves and walked in quickly.

    Lu Yingjiu thought, although Ye Feng looked nothing on the surface, his every move was still anxious.

    Presumably, because of Ye Deyong and Zhang Nianyun, he was still upset.

    Sure enough, Ye Feng began to look around as soon as he entered.

    There is a small bed in this house, and there are several cabinets, and books are placed on the bookshelf.

    Those books are basically all broken because the tide is basically broken, and it will be scattered when it touchs. Ye Feng quickly glanced over a few times, saying, "These should be the books that Erye have read. Here it should be a small house of his private person."

    His hand stroked the bedside and picked up a photo on the bedside table.

    The photo is Ye Deyong and Zhang Nianyun.

    They stood side by side on the rooftop of the nursing home, behind the continuous sea of ​​trees. A huge round of rising sun was rising from the green sea.

    Zhang Nianyun was wearing a simple skirt and laughed very beautifully, don't have a charm. Ye Deyong's expression of the camera was still not salty, but she also had a smile in her eyes.

    Ye Feng gently wiped off the ash on the two people's faces and said, "Do you know, everyone in the past thought that my second grandfather would not get married in this life."

    He sighed: "He has a strange temper, and he likes to drive ghosts, and he doesn't even give one look at the peerless beauty. He just has been single to his fifties, and suddenly one day, he met the second grandma. Call a see at first sight, almost stunned everyone. "

    Ye Feng continued: "How did they meet and what happened, I don't know what happened. But the relationship between them is really good, obviously two older people, and they are still with little couples. Stick up together. After my second grandma died, he did depressed for a long time. "

    Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while and asked, "So you think he will be a person who sacrifice his principles for love?"

    "... I don't know." Ye Feng smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I really don't know. Before today, I firmly believe him, but now I don't know."

    "After all," he rubbed the photo with his fingertips again, "I have never had any vigorous love, I don't know what love at first sight is, and I don't know what life and death are, and of course I don't know what I can do for my lover. Maybe, I I've never really understood Second Master."

    After an unknown amount of time, they smelled the faint aroma of the food next door.

    Smells like instant noodles and sausage.

    It seems that those anchors have finally made progress.

    Ye Feng sighed deeply: "However, if he really sacrificed the sanatorium to make a wish to the Spider Mother in exchange for his second grandmother, why is my second grandmother still like this today?"

    Zhang Nianyun guesses which mountain is he still climbing.

    Maybe they continued to walk, and they could bump into her as they walked.

    "You know," Lu Yingjiu said, "the risk of making a wish to ghosts and gods is very high. Nine times out of ten, the final result is completely different from what you imagined. Maybe the Spider Mother really brought back Zhang Nianyun, just a crazy, Zhang Nianyun, who looks like a ghost."

    "...Yes, what you said is right." Ye Feng couldn't help sighing, "Where is it so easy to cross between life and death."

    He touched his pocket again.

    I felt the outline of the key.

    This time, he took all the relics of the second master with him, including small notes, bronze keys, and little crocodile dolls.

    The numbers on the note were used in nursing homes, the ashes of the dolls, and they also had guesses.

    It's just that the key doesn't know what to do - Ye Feng took a picture and showed it to the family, but no one knew what lock it could open.

    Originally, Ye Feng was in this room, looking for a corresponding lock.

    But after all, it was just a guess, and he didn't see anything that could be opened.

    Just as Ye Feng was about to go out, he suddenly heard Lu Yingjiu say, "Is there something under this bed?"

    Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then he and Lu Yingjiu moved the bed away together.

    In a flurry of dust, the bed was moved to the side. There was indeed a small pull tab at the very end of the bed, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

    Lu Yingjiu got started, and it took some effort to open the door.

    What appeared before me was a wooden staircase.

    Take a flashlight and look down, it is a small room, with a bed, a bookcase, a desk, and even a small wardrobe.

    The two looked at each other, Ye Feng took the lead with the flashlight and went down the stairs.

    The stairs creaked underfoot, unsettlingly, but they still supported the weight of the two men.

    Going down to the bottom, judging from the color of the sheets, the headband on the desk, the skirt in the wardrobe, and the various jewelry and earrings in the drawer, it is clearly where women live.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Your second master and second grandma still sleep in separate rooms?"

    Ye Feng was also surprised: "I don't know what's going on. But my second master snores really loudly... I can't sleep by his side, or I don't think anyone can sleep well."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    There is no way to refute this reason.

    There is nothing special about this small room.

    It was originally a temporary resting place, and there were not too many personal items.

    There seemed to be something buried under the clothes in the closet.

    When Lu Yingjiu reached out and stroked his clothes, he noticed a foreign body sensation.

    He reached out to touch it, and his fingertips touched some kind of metal object, which was not small in size. He talked to Ye Feng, took out all the clothes, and temporarily piled them on the bed.

    After the clothes are cleared, this time, the things underneath are finally exposed.

    That's a huge... rectangular iron box?

    The iron box was locked by a huge lock, which was very large and did not fit into the size of the entire box.

    Lu Yingjiu stretched out his hand and tapped the top of the box with his phalanx, and there was a relatively empty "dong dong" sound.

    "What is this?" Ye Feng was confused.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "It can't be your second grandma's private money."

    "Impossible." Ye Feng categorically vetoed, "Where is the need for her to make private money, my second master's money is all hers, and she has to ask her for living expenses every month."

    Lu Yingjiu looked at the huge lock again.

    He suddenly remembered something: "Ye Feng, take out the key and take a look. The one in your grandfather's belongings."

    Ye Feng was also agitated when he heard the words, he reacted, and immediately took out the key in a hurry.

    The key was a little longer than his palm, heavy.

    He tried to put the key in the keyhole

    really plugged in.

    Lu Yingjiu and Ye Feng looked at each other.

    Originally, they guessed that the key should correspond to a very large door, but they didn't expect it to be such a small box.

    Ye Feng clutched the key tightly and swallowed.

    His heart was beating fast, and his palms were almost sweating.

    This should belong to Zhang Nianyun, he thought, could it have something to do with the spider mother? Will you tell them what the truth is?

    He turned the key.

    I don't know if this lock is a long time ago. The touch on his hand was very heavy, and it was very laborious during the turning process. Blue veins burst on the back of his hand.

    "Crack-"

    Finally, after a certain moment, the lock was opened.

    Ye Feng took off the lock and put his hand aside. And Lu Yingjiu reached out and touched the lock, frowning——

    There was a very strong fluctuation of the rune paper on the lock.

    Without this key, I am afraid no one can open it. Even if it is placed in a ghost exorcism family, it is the highest-level and most complicated talisman.

    What is it that deserves such protection?

    Zhang Nianyun is also a member of the ghost exorcism family. Could it be that this is a secret of the Zhang family?

    Ye Feng opened the iron box.

    At the top was another piece of white paper. He picked it up, and there was only one line of numbers: [1995.3.24]

    "What's this?" He scratched his head, and his mind went blank when he thought about it. "This is not their wedding date. Did they secretly have a child? Is this the child's birth date?"

    "...No," Lu Yingjiu said, "it shouldn't be any of their children. I know the date."

    Ye Feng was stunned: "Ah? You know?"

    "Yeah." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

    The light of the flashlight fell on his cheeks, drawing beautiful lines, and the little fan-like lashes cast shadows. There was not much expression on his face, and when he breathed lightly, the light and dust in the air were dancing.

    "It's my birthday," he said.

    Ye Feng was completely stunned.

    Lu Yingjiu reached out and pulled out the things under the iron box.

    There were a lot of papers underneath, which were stapled together. He reached out and picked up a stack, and suddenly a dozen photos slipped out of them.

    The photos swayed around, all scattered on the ground.

    Ye Feng took a closer look.

    They are all photos of Lu Yingjiu!

    In the photos, because of the age, the color has faded badly, and the photos were taken of Lu Yingjiu when he was a child. He carried a school bag to school, he built sand castles on the beach, he squatted down and touched the head of a stray cat on the side of the road, he hopscotched by himself in front of his house...

    All are everyday photos.

    It looked like it was secretly filmed.

    It was as if... someone had been watching him!

    Why is Lu Yingjiu in the photo?

    Could it be that Zhang Nianyun or Ye Deyong once spied on him?

    For a moment, the house fell silent.

    The two faced the iron box, both in shock.

    After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yingjiu exhaled softly.

    He picked up a few photos and turned them over.

    Most of the photos are blank on the back with nothing.

    But on the back of one of them, it was written in black pen [1/59]
