Chapter 7 Back to the ancestral home again

"Nonsense! Do you still remind me of this? His phone has been unanswered." I continued, "Do you know where he is now?"

"I don't know." Xiao Chen's answer was a little helpless, but his next sentence made me even more shocked, "I haven't seen him for almost three days!"

I told Xiao Chen to inform me immediately whenever I saw my second uncle. After that, I hung up the phone. After a while, I went tossed and said, it was already past 11 o'clock, so I couldn't do anything so late, and my mind was a little heavy. I had to go to bed first and find a way tomorrow morning. I slept very painfully that night, sometimes I fell asleep, sometimes I woke up, and always dreamed about my second uncle.

As soon as it was dawn, I opened my eyes and could no longer fall asleep.

I forced myself to get up, and I had to try my best to be calm, so that my parents could not see my abnormality.

After my parents left, I sat on the sofa in a daze, recalling the last time I was talking on the phone with my second uncle, and my second uncle's voice was still lingering in my ears.

I picked up my phone and couldn't help but think in my heart, Uncle Second, where have you gone again!!!

After waiting, after I thought about the phone with my second uncle and Xiao Chen again, I suddenly felt something was wrong! I remember calling my second uncle three days ago, when the second uncle told me that he was going up the mountain to collect medicine. Xiao Chen said that they had already collected medicine from the mountain three days ago!

These two statements are completely inconsistent in terms of time, and I actually prefer Xiao Chen’s statement about these two statements, because it doesn’t make any sense to lie to me like this! But why did the second uncle lie to me! What did he want to do? At the same time, I was also wondering whether the second uncle’s missing contact and the two people who were suspected to be the Tan family would have anything to do?

Thinking of this, my heart felt a burst of palpitations! I simply wanted to step back to Guiyang to find the traces of my second uncle. I scratched my head hard and quickly looked for various solutions. Suddenly, an idea appeared in my mind. I could ask Yuan An, who is in Guiyang, to help me check the traces of my second uncle. The power of the Yuan family in Guizhou should not be underestimated. They can definitely find it!

But when I looked through my phone, I found that although I had cooperated with the Yuan family several times, I didn’t have the mobile phone number of any of them! Communication skills are indeed my weakness. As the saying goes, it’s true that there are many friends and multiple ways. I just hate myself for too few ways!

I suddenly thought of Lanxiao again. I didn’t know if he had contact information from the Yuan family. I called Lanxiao and told him about the general situation. However, I didn’t expect that Lanxiao didn’t have contact information from the Yuan family, but he also told me not to worry, saying that he would call his grandfather immediately. In this case, it is very likely that he would find Yuan An’s contact information directly.

It was the best to find Yuan An's phone number, so I hung up the phone and waited for the good news of Lantern Festival. But after more than ten minutes, Lantern Festival told me that no one answered his grandfather's phone number and could not be contacted for the time being. I got the phone number at home. The guy told him that Mr. Tang did not bring his cell phone when he went out. Lantern Festival comforted me not to worry, he would try his best to find it, and would notify me once there was a message.

After hanging up the phone, I could never wait like this again. I remember Uncle Er had a small book that recorded the phone. Although Uncle Er was very smart, he was slow to react to things like mobile phones. It was not until two years ago that he completely abandoned the hand-copied address book and switched to the address book software that came with his own on his mobile phone. Uncle Er and Yuan An have known each other for many years. If he could find that address book, he would probably find Yuan An’s contact information!

Without further ado, I took the bus back to my hometown and went straight to my uncle's pharmacy. I knew that some of my uncle's personal belongings were placed in a small cabinet in the pharmacy tea room, and there might be something I want there.

The guys in the second uncle's pharmacy are not old and they get along well with me. As soon as I walked into the pharmacy, I might have not seen each other for a long time. The guys came over to say hello to me immediately. I responded to them one by one with a smile, and this feeling was still good.

The guy named Xiaoliu asked with a smile: "Brother Ran, why do you have time to come today?"

I nodded, "Ah, I'll come and find something."

Xiao Liu continued, "Your uncle and nephew are really interesting. If you don't come back, you won't come back. Once you come back, you will come back one by one!"

I was thinking about looking for the second uncle's address book, so I was a little absent-minded. When I heard Xiaoliu's words, I agreed casually, but soon recovered. I stepped forward and grabbed Xiaoliu, "What! You said my second uncle is back?"

Xiaoliu was startled by me, "Brother Ran, don't be excited, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did I realize that I was a little out of control, so I let go of Xiaoliu and said, "You just said, my second uncle has come back?"

"Yes," Xiao Liu nodded, "Just yesterday, ah, it's not the day before yesterday! Brother Ran, if you don't believe me, you ask them, they all saw it." I looked at the other guys, and they nodded.

My mind was a little confused now, "Where is my second uncle now?"

"I don't know," the guys shook their heads, "After the second master came, he checked the accounts, asked about the situation during this period, and then left. We haven't seen him in the past two days!"

I got this news unexpectedly. I left the pharmacy and went straight to my uncle's house. But after I opened the door of my uncle's house, I found that I was still empty. My uncle's house was empty. I sat on the sofa and couldn't help but blame him, "Where are you singing this again?"

Gradually, I calmed down and began to think about why I didn’t I tell me when I came back that there was something here that he needed to hide from me? After thinking about it, I felt that there was only one place, which was our family’s ancestral tomb!

Without further ado, I got up and left my second uncle's house and took the bus back to the village. When I arrived at the village, it was already noon and I walked straight into Brother Dacheng's small restaurant. Brother Dacheng was both surprised and surprised when he saw me in, "Zhuoran! Why are you here today?"

I replied casually: "Ah, I'll go to the county town to do something and go back to the village to take a look."

Knowing that I hadn't eaten, Brother Dacheng quickly brought two dishes and brought them up, "Don't leave tonight, stay here, I'll call the big country and the others, let's have some drinks for a few nights!"

While eating, I waved my hand, "I can't do anything for Brother Dacheng, I have something to do, let's go next time!"

Seeing that my attitude was firm, Brother Dacheng didn't force me. I was really hungry, and soon the wind blew the clouds. While eating, I said to me, "Hey, Brother Dacheng, have you seen my second uncle and the others come over the past two days?"

"This?" Brother Dacheng recalled, "No, I haven't seen my second uncle for a long time!" Because it was my family, Brother Dacheng called my second uncle the second uncle and my father and uncle. Then Brother Dacheng continued, "I saw my uncle come a few days ago to see the construction progress of the ancestral home."

After eating and drinking, I bid farewell to Brother Dacheng and came to the Zhuo family's ancestral home. The project progress was very fast and it had reached the point where it was about to finish. Fortunately, the project captain still recognized me, so no one asked me to go in and out.

I quietly came to the backyard of my ancestral home, far away from the collapsed position, so the reconstruction project did not involve it.

I looked around and found that everything here was almost the same as when I came last time. Seeing that no one noticed, I walked towards the utility room in the corner of the backyard. I gently pushed the door open, opened the flashlight on my phone, and went directly to the innermost reprint, which was the entrance to the cellar below.

The huge main plate padlock on the flip board was still there, and I lifted up the bottom of a jar in the corner, and lay there quietly with a copper key. I am familiar with these things, just like when I came last time.

When I was taking the key, I noticed that the copper key was very clean, especially the place where I pinched my hands. Obviously, someone must have touched it recently. I know that this is probably the second uncle! It seems that my guess about the second uncle coming here is correct.

I opened the lock on the flip board and walked into the cellar. But as soon as I entered the cellar, I couldn't help but be stunned. The fragments of the several large tanks that were originally standing by the wall were all cleared to the side, and the entrance of the secret room that was originally hidden under the large tank was exposed. On the other side of the cellar was piled up with a large amount of soil. Seeing this scene, I quickly ran to the edge of the entrance of the secret room, and it was indeed cleared. The soil also shows that Uncle Second must have done something here!

I hesitated for a moment, lowered my head and entered the entrance of the secret room. There were many shoveled forks on the wall of the entrance, and it was very new, obviously it was left behind in the past few days.

I went in the hole, and I remember that Lantern Festival told me that the passage had collapsed, and at this time I saw that it had been dug up again. I walked forward while observing the situation around me. I am a little scared now. If a second collapse occurs here, I will never have a chance to survive.

I was lying down and I found that the re-digging passage was also a method of digging holes. I must have been made by my second uncle. I just don’t know where this thief hole leads to? No matter how powerful the second uncle is, he can’t dig out the tomb room with the coffin below!

The flashlight on my phone uses the light of the flash, which is good, but the penetration is not enough, so the light cannot shine far. I crawled along the thief hole for a while. When I looked up again, I suddenly found that I had reached the end of the thief hole.
Chapter completed!
