I've been thinking hard along the way, but I still couldn't figure out what role Uncle Ming played by my grandpa's side.
The only thing I'm sure of is that he meant no harm to me.
Also, since he's so confident in judging the authenticity of Azure Goat Tallow, it can be seen that he's definitely not a simple lawyer, I really suspect that he's an unskilled teacher!
But it doesn't matter if Uncle Ming is good or bad, since I'm riding a tiger right now, it's impossible to stop now. Even if I die, I have to get the Azure Goat Tallow!
When I got back to the shop, I made myself a cup of tea, calmed myself down a little, and then picked up the documents to read them carefully.
Even though the Azure Goat Tallow that her grandfather had drawn was only sketched with a pencil, at first glance, it looked very three-dimensional. Even an outsider would be able to tell that it was priceless.
I scrolled through the material, but found nothing unexpected.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, a loud knocking sound came from outside the door, giving me a fright. Through the crack in the door, I saw Fatty standing at the door with a large suitcase in tow.
"Good efficiency, Fatty!"
I opened the door quickly. I've been a little nervous lately, and always thought that loan sharks might come knocking.
"Nonsense, how can I, Master Fatty, accomplish something as big as this? Moreover, it is not easy to mix in Panjiayuan, I can only trick some fake goods to sell to the foreigners, it would be a waste of time to stay. "
Fatty came in while dragging the big suitcase.
"Hurry up and pack up. Come out the door with me. I feel like there's a clue inside my grandpa's old house."
After I finished my orders, Fatty and I casually ate a bowl of noodles and took a taxi to the outskirts.
Grandpa had an old house in the suburbs, and every day after he went crazy he would hide in the old house and drink and paint. There is a graveyard nearby. Honestly speaking, if I didn't have Fatty with me, I wouldn't dare to come here alone at night.
They parked nearby, and the driver refused to drive any farther because there was a cemetery up ahead and there had been a lot of robberies.
"I say, Master, you f * cking put us down in the cemetery. When we run into something unclean, will you be able to pay for it?" "If you don't drive today, Master Fatty will kill you."
Fatty got angry when he saw that the driver was about to drive him away.
"Master, there's no shop in the village in front of this place, how do you want us to get there?" How about this! You take us to our destination, and we'll take your car when we're done, plus twenty dollars. "
I hurried to the side to sing a red face.
"Sure, but don't delay it too long." The driver looked hesitant, but he still agreed.
After all, it was impossible to bring guests back now, so he still had to hand over the money.
Along the way, they passed by the cemetery, Fatty said Dingdang your grandfather would really pick a place, this damn place, I even saw it in the car, how can I live here?
I say, Fatty, stop bullshitting, you know shit about the lives of rich people, this is called returning to the village.
Five minutes later, we finally arrived at Pappy's old house, a three-storey brick building full of climbing tigers and a large seal at the gate.
Since my grandfather's estate is now a frozen state, the house has been sealed off by the court.
The taxi driver looked at me suspiciously. I took out my key and waved it in front of his face. "This is my grandpa's house. I'm here to pick up something."
With that, I opened the door. Fatty took out a emergency lamp from his bag and opened it, then followed behind me.
"Hey, you two, hurry up!" The taxi driver shouted at the door.
As soon as we entered the room, we were choked by the strong smell of dust. Fatty said: Dingdang you heartless grandson, if you don't clean up, who knows when your grandpa will go to sleep again.
"Hurry up and get to the point, this house isn't small, look for clues." Fatty has been training in the Panjiayuan for two years. I thought that he would be a lot calmer, but I never thought that he would still be so unreliable.
"Alright, I'll start the search from the third floor. You can start from the first floor and then we'll gather on the second floor." Fatty took out another emergency lamp from his bag and gave it to me.
I took the emergency lamp and started searching. After going through the living room, bathroom, toilet, warehouse and so on over and over again, the furniture here had already been taken away and sold off after my grandfather passed away.
I searched the first floor, but there was nothing in the room but dust.
All of a sudden, I heard Fatty's voice, which was especially harsh in the quiet room.
I jumped in fright and rushed up to the third floor with the lamp in hand. The moment I went up, I saw Fatty squatting on the floor with his butt sticking out.
I kicked Fatty's butt and said, "What the f * ck is going on with you?"
Fatty's face paled as he pointed to a corner while trembling. I immediately lit up the lamp and the scene immediately made my scalp tingle.
In the corner of the third floor, there were many memorial tablets neatly placed there. In the middle, there was even a six to seven inch statue of the King of Hell. The scene gave off an indescribably strange feeling.
It was only then that I realized there was a thick layer of ash on the ground, as if left behind from burning ingots.
"Isn't it just a few tablets? "What's there to be afraid of? Let's quickly see what we find." I pretended to be calm.
"Lee Dingdang, what kind of person is your grandfather? Is he crazy?" These tablets all had a date written on them that didn't even have a name. These thirty to fifty tablets, even if Guan Yin Bodhisattva came, would be scared away by the yin energy. Let's hurry up and go! This house is a cemetery. There's definitely nothing else. "
Fatty said while trembling.
Don't worry, I said quickly. I picked up a tablet and blew the words on it. April 1, 1980.
"Don't tell me that this day is when your grandfather went to fight?" Fatty asked.
"That's not right. The date is not right. Strange, my grandfather didn't seem to have told me about this date. He stole Reese's grave in ShangCai County. It should have been around 1960. "
I frowned, feeling very strange.
The entire third floor was sealed, with not even a single window. A thick smell of ash permeated the room, making it difficult to stay inside. Seeing that there was nothing, Fatty and I went down to the second floor.
When we reached the second floor, Fatty and I discovered that there was something even more terrifying! The entire second floor was filled with flower wreaths, paper bundles of children, ingots, and things like the Spirit Summoning Banner.
Fatty said in a trembling voice: "Dingdang, your grandfather specializes in the business of the dead, right? Why are there so many damn things piled up, can this house even be inhabited? "
I also felt a little weak in my heart, but I forced myself to say, "Hurry up and find some clues. These things might have intentionally disturbed our line of sight."
Fatty and I turned the entire second floor upside down, but we still didn't find anything. I didn't give up and tore open those wreaths and ingots to examine them carefully, but there was still nothing related to Reese's grave.
"That's it, Dingdang, you should hurry up and run!" Just with those few crappy paintings that your grandfather left behind, where are we supposed to find a fight over them? "
Fatty was extremely tired and sat heavily on the ground.
I was a little upset, then I lit a cigarette and smoked a few puffs, then remembered that my grandfather hadn't been home for a long time, until he couldn't help himself and moved back into the city to live with me.
This house was the only place he could possibly leave any clues. If he really wanted the Li family descendants to find the Azure Goat Tallow …
"Aiya! Dig in, it hurts so much, why is the roof of this second floor so low! "
The screams coming from Fatty behind me pulled me back from my thoughts. I suddenly grasped onto something as I shouted at him, "Fatty, quickly go up to the third floor. There must be some damn sandwich in this room!"
As I expected, Fatty and I busied ourselves for almost three hours before we finally found a hidden layer on the floor of the third floor.
In the narrow space, I fished out a small black box.
I forcefully suppressed the excitement in my heart. I placed my hand on the lock on the chest and started to open it!
