Tomb Keeper

Chapter 51 The Secret of the Grave Mountain (2)
I couldn't help but screamed a few times in the dark, the sound was much more tragic than a wolf falling into a trap.I don't care about conserving any energy, the energy I save will still be cold, so I might as well scream a few times to show that I have struggled and existed.I was lucky enough to wonder if the voice could get out.But I know it's a luxury.

I stayed in the dark like this, waking up from time to time, not knowing whether it was day or night outside.Sometimes when I think of the sky above the cemetery, whether it is cloudy or sunny, I feel how happy the person who can see the sky is.

The sleep under this tomb is not really called sleep, because under my closed eyelids floated nightmares.When I wake up, I try not to think about it, because once I think about the dream that I have had, it will be strung into the next dream.

After such a long time in the unknown, I suddenly heard a voice in a daze saying, hello, hello, are you dead?When I woke up, I thought it was a dream, but when I turned around, I saw a faint light coming in from the iron gate.I rushed over immediately, and was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Zi standing outside the gate.She seemed to be relieved when she saw me, she said, but there was no response after calling a few times, I thought you were dead.It's only been a day, and I don't think you're that vulnerable.

I asked her, what time is it now?She said it was midnight.I quickly said again, let me go, you misunderstood me.She immediately turned her head away from me, and said, don't make this request, or I will leave immediately.I panicked, and immediately said repeatedly that I didn't make this request, you can stand here for a while, and I can live for a few more days by breathing the air coming in from the cave.

Only then did Ye Zi turn her head, and she said, there is a problem that I want to clarify.The last time Master Diao visited the Yin House, he said that the person who bought the tomb was Zhao Dong.I know that "Dong" is not a name, it means director or chairman.You spent the longest time with Master Diao that day, and even went to live with him in the town. Did you hear him mention Mr. Zhao's name?

I thought about it seriously and said, no.He also called Zhao Dong to me, maybe I'm used to calling it that way.

Ye Zi asked again, so, has Master Diao talked about the situation of Zhao Dong's family?
As I said, there are eighty-year-old parents in the family, and there is a nanny surnamed Yuan.Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and Dong also have a goddaughter named Lingling, who said she fell ill and was hospitalized before graduating from university.

Ye Zi cried out suddenly, as if something had stabbed her on the wall of the cave.I hurriedly asked what was wrong, she put her hands on her forehead, panted and said it was nothing.

Her state lit up in my brain like lightning.Too late to think, too late to associate, a strong intuition made me call out to her, Lingling!I figured if she didn't respond, my instincts had failed.

However, Ye Zi was stunned when she heard the cry, and she stared at me for a long time before saying, it turns out that you knew everything about me in order to harm me.But I still have to thank you, otherwise I would not be sure that this tomb was bought by my godfather.

I cheered up all of a sudden.Ye Zi's identity disappeared in an instant, and when I recalled Master Diao's conversation, I also learned that Master Diao's father had driven Ye Zi's father, and the couple went abroad because of tax evasion worth hundreds of millions.But, why is Ye Zi guarding the tomb here?Is it to evade the police?This is impossible.Because she was only in elementary school when her father had an accident, it was impossible for her to have anything to do with adults.

At this time, I heard Ye Zi say to herself, well, this matter is clear, I should go.

God, you figured it out and left, what should I do?So I yelled, Lingling, you can't leave, you locked me here, if I die, you will kill someone, how can you explain to your parents abroad?
Leaf lowered her head and burst into tears.After a while, she said, let me tell you about myself too.We've all confessed to each other, and that's only fair.

Ye Zi's narration, and what I heard from Master Diao, are actually just some more details.

In Ye Zi's memories, her childhood was happy.The parents who had been educated youths had no job after returning to the city. Later, his father set up a bookstall on the street, and her mother also helped sell books.With her during this period, her mother often hugged her and sold books at the bookstall, which made her more interested in books than anything else since she was a child.Her parents used their hard-earned money to buy toys for her. At the age of two, she threw away the toys and just grabbed the books and flipped through them.When she was five years old, the family situation changed, and her parents suddenly started a small trading company.Two years later, when she had just entered primary school, her parents' company had grown.Her father's car is a Nissan, which is driven by a master surnamed Diao.Ye Zi called him Uncle Diao.Uncle Diao sometimes drove her out to play, and said that this car was rented by your father from the provincial government. Your father is an amazing person.Xiao Yezi said that my dad just likes to smoke, it's very choking, it's nothing special.Uncle Diao said that you don't understand, and your father's business has gone abroad.In the warehouse of the train freight station, the goods that your father wants to deliver are twice as much as those of the Foreign Trade Bureau.Uncle Diao also told her that your father's deputy is the son of a high-ranking official in the province, and he admires your father.Her father's deputy is the current Zhao Dong, and he recognized Ye Zi as his goddaughter at that time.Ye Zi's nickname is Lingling, so her parents and godfather have always called her that.

In Ye Zi's narration, I didn't hear the mystery I wanted to solve.So, after she finished speaking, I asked like everyone who listened to the story, what happened next?

Leaf said, then there is nothing to talk about.After I went to college, I kept finding out that someone was following me around the campus.After returning from vacation, I told my godfather about it, but he spoke for those who followed me, saying that no one followed me and that the campus was safe.I knew that my godfather had also changed. If I wasn't with my parents, no one would really care about me.Moreover, when I was reading in the study, my godfather kept coming in to get things, so I knew she was watching me.Therefore, I think it is best to do things in the cemetery, where there are fewer people and more graves, and it is safe and quiet.If you hadn't broken in here, I really thought no one in the world would be watching me and following me.

Leaf's words made me breathe a sigh of relief.Even people with the simplest knowledge of psychology know that she is delusional.So she is afraid of strangers and cars that suddenly stop in front of her. When encountering these situations, she will get sick and avoid them.Of course, she is more afraid of being watched. I have done this to her for a long time, and I deserve it.Of course, my crime is actually not a crime, at least not in the grave.However, when Ye Zi talked about the past, his tone was calm, which made me see the hope of being forgiven.

However, what awaits me is still despair.After Ye Zi finished telling the past, she smiled and said to me, I am not afraid of telling you this now, because if you can't get out, you won't be able to hurt me.After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and closed the door of the tomb amidst my shouts.

Until now, the things I experienced in the cemetery were not big, far less vigorous and life-threatening than I expected.However, it makes me very sad to end up like this after doing nothing great.I'm not afraid of death, but I shouldn't die in such an unclear way.And, strictly speaking, the person who killed me was not malicious, and she also admitted that she fell in love with me at least one night.God, how the logic of things is so confusing all of a sudden.When I was in the special forces unit, the instructors never talked about how to deal with this kind of thing.

When I think of my special forces career, I can't help feeling ups and downs.Of course, I can't reveal the major things I have done here, but it may not be too disciplinary to talk about trivial things.I participated in anti-narcotics at the Yunnan border.I parachuted from a helicopter into a deep mountain, and disguised myself as a delivery man to meet the leader of the drug dealer.That night, I drove a jeep to a bridge deep in the mountains and stopped. After a while, the drug dealer's car arrived, a farm truck that locals love to use.Three men jumped out of the car, approached me and asked, did you bring the money?I said, they are all in the car, several large boxes.A man searched me, and after confirming that I didn't have a gun, he said, "Squat down and don't move, let's transfer the money to the truck first."I immediately said with my hands on my hips, what about the goods?No one can touch the money without seeing the goods, don't you understand the rules?My toughness convinced them that I was a real buyer, so they said, if you want the goods, please drive with us.I started my car and flashed the lights three times, which was a signal to my comrades that the delivery location had changed.
