lying down

Ouyang Yu walked in the direction pointed by the second leader, but there were two small holes side by side. There were thick cloth curtains hanging on the door, one curtain painted tigers and the other snakes. Gold powder was applied to the portrait to show the difference.

Ouyang Yu shook his head, he really didn't understand the mentality of these people.The first choice was Tiger Cave, and he gently opened the door curtain with a stick to look inside, but Ouyang Yu was taken aback.In his impression, a reckless person like the head of a family who started his business halfway through everything must be carefully crafted in his most perfect place, filled with antiques, filled with gold and silver treasures, and then lay a peerless girl on the bed .

But in the small hole in front of him, it is nothing more than ordinary.Looking through a pine oil and copper lamp on the stone wall, a dark and greasy mattress was spread on a large wooden bed, and a roll of quilt was thrown aside in a mess. A cabinet nailed up with wooden strips and boards is no better than a beggar's clothes.Two broken wooden basins were thrown beside the cabinet, and the most conspicuous ones were wooden boxes one foot square on the rotten wooden table close to the wall.Ouyang Yu went into the room and searched carefully, but found nothing special, only the small wooden box remained unopened.

Ouyang Yu walked to the wooden table, picked up the box, the box was painted red, but many places were peeled off, a simple small copper lock was hung on the opening and closing.Rubbing the rough carved pattern on the outside, it is smooth, it must have been used for a long time.Ouyang Yu thought for a while, then took out the dagger from his waist and pried lightly, the copper lock fell on the table with a "clang".

Opening the wooden box again made Ouyang Yu curious, there was a piece of yellowed paper and a very ordinary jade pendant inside!There is nothing else.

Ouyang Yu took out the letter and looked at it, and a line of crooked words that he could barely read came into his eyes, "Feng'er: You have been studying art in the mountains for five years, and this year is the year you agreed to be a teacher. Mother is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to your return." But there is no news, but mother is very relieved, you can study with master for one more year, and if you have the ability, mother will tell you about marriage. There is a severe drought this year, and many people in the village have left their homes. But mother can't leave, mother has to wait for my son to return at her own home. The reason why mother left this letter is because of two things. Mother is only taken care of by your brother Zhang. You need to keep it in your heart. You want to send your elder brother Zhang to his retirement age. Although he is short and ridiculed by others, he is kind to others and does not fight in everything. I think that when your mother and you first came to Yang County, they were penniless, and it was the time when the war was raging. It was your elder brother who gave it to you Our mother can only take two bites of food to take root here. Although mother talked about it every day when you were here, it was because she was afraid that you would forget, and a person needs to be grateful! The second thing, mother didn’t want to tell you, but the two Nianniang's health is not as good as before, and sometimes I can dream of your father smiling at me in my dreams. My mother's time is not long, so I can only write here what happened to you for more than [-] years, just in case. You Father Qin Lu is a real man. He didn't die of illness, but was killed by Turkic dogs. Since you have learned martial arts, the first thing you should do is to get rid of violence, and secondly, you should kill a few more Turkic dogs for your father. If your mother dies, Mother must be very happy to lay the head of the Turkic dog on Mother's grave! That jade pendant is a betrothal gift from your father to Mother, so you should keep it and pass it on to your family! The letter was written by a literate villager in the village, please hand it over first. Keep it for Brother Zhang. Remember: eliminate harm for the people, serve the country, and avenge your father! Be a dignified man! In the middle of March in the first year of Zhenguan."

Ouyang Yu gently folded the letter and put it in his arms together with Yu Pei.

Reaching out to wipe away the tears, he clenched his teeth to keep himself from crying.He didn't dare to think about his family members in his previous life, but the more he dared not, the more thoughts and memories came flooding in.When I was a child, I celebrated my birthday with my parents for the first time. I was rewarded with a Nintendo game console when I got a double-percentage test for the first time. I was chased and beaten by my father with a broom for lying for the first time. When I was in college for the first time, my parents traveled far away to see each other off. , When they got married, their parents drank happily... Ouyang Yu tightly closed his eyes, squeezing the picture in front of him, his eye sockets hurt from holding back.Take a few deep breaths, now is not the time to miss.

This letter confirmed part of Ouyang Yu's conjecture. He was not wrong about the person. The head of the family must have been forced to leave his hometown by the famine, and later became a bandit due to the situation in Jinyang City, but Qin Feng in white was an innocent person. , have never been contaminated with a single bad habit here.

Walking to the entrance of the Shelian Cave, he lifted the curtain with a stick and took a look. This place surprised Ouyang Yu even more.Compared with the Hulian Cave of Dadao's family, the decoration in this cave is like a heaven and an underground.

There was a large carved wooden bed, brocade quilts, a mahogany table opposite, high and low cabinets on both sides, and a wooden box with two big locks next to the cabinet covered with silk.Ouyang Yu thought about it, and immediately thought whose room this was.

This time Ouyang Yu searched more carefully, even felt the inside of the quilt inch by inch, but he didn't find any useful information.Ouyang Yu rubbed his head and thought that the second boss wouldn't throw everything into a big box, would he?If you lose it, wouldn't you lose it all?Too lazy to think about it, I picked up the stick and hit the two copper locks of the big box. With two bangs, the copper lock snapped.Ouyang Yu picked it up with the tip of the stick, and his eyes were almost dazzled!

A whole chest of gold and silver! "This, this..." Ouyang Yu held the stick in his hand, he couldn't believe it at first, and then he was furious!

There is no money at Dadang's house, but there is a big box here.This must have been their usual looting and plundering. According to the situation in the past few months, how many people are needed to gather such money?Ouyang Yu stirred the stick in the box a few times, there was no foreign matter on the bottom layer, it was still gold and silver.Ouyang Yu couldn't help feeling puzzled, this second boss should be one of "those people", otherwise how could he suddenly appear in this bandit mountain?Otherwise, how could he know the names of Di Xue, Xia He, and Ouyang Yu?Otherwise, how could he point here just after he said something?He must have a special status.

When he pointed to the cave, he should have known that he wanted something about "them", but he searched the house and found nothing!

Ouyang Yu was about to go back and ask the second master if there was any evidence of their correspondence and where some documents were, when there was a scream from outside the cave, followed by the sound of his toes twitching.Ouyang Yu was shocked!Could it be...

When Ouyang Yu turned around and ran to the small hall, he saw a black figure rushing away in the passageway, and the right chest of the second master in the wooden cage was pierced with a broken knife!Zhao Danyang, Di Xue, Xia He, and Wu Yuanshuang were all stunned on the spot!

"There's a leak! Shut up!" Ouyang Yu immediately reacted, and quickly glanced at the small hall, the cage where one person was imprisoned alone was actually empty! !

Ouyang Yu rushed in front of the second master, he was spitting out blood, and there was a "hehe" sound from his throat, this knife pierced through the second master's lung, Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save him!

The second leader's eyes showed panic, unwillingness, and even more anger!

He raised his finger, still pointing out of the cage, trembling all over, and exhausted his last bit of strength to say a word: "Pot!"

After all, he tilted his head and died!
