Chapter 9 The Tomb Raiders
Women's minds are the most difficult to figure out, especially those of beautiful women.
The beautiful senior sister invited me to dinner, but just to reminisce about the past. I just invited her to dinner. She hated the love of dusk, and I had nothing but a secret love.
The taxi arrived soon, and my senior sister invited me to get in and said she would take me back. I hesitated and refused.
My senior sister had to ask the driver to drive. I vaguely heard the place name of "Golden Apartment", which was a single apartment. The security guard kept the door for 24 hours. I had a friend from the same village where I worked as a security guard.
In the bustling city where night falls, I am just an outsider, looking for a home alone in the cold wind.
Fortunately, street lights were illuminated in the streets and alleys of this city. I found my residence and found that it was not far from the Old Luoyang Noodle Restaurant, but my eyes were already a little blurred. Maybe because I had just drunk two bottles of beer.
Lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think about it, and I could only imagine what I couldn't get.
I suddenly became rich overnight and then went to compete with the civil servant for my senior sister.
Working in the emergency department, patients enter every day, and this novelty makes me forget the pain of being single.
After get off work, I returned to my residence and began to study "Compendium of Materia Medica" and acupuncture. In order to practice, I specially went to the pharmacy to buy a set of stainless steel acupuncture tools.
I work in the afternoon and don’t get off work until 10 o’clock in the evening. There are not many patients, so Xiao Tang’s boyfriend comes to the department to accompany her.
This young man was wearing a dark blue down jacket and was also a fat white man. When he saw me, he handed me cigarettes regardless of the warning "no smoking" on the wall. I refused, and he did not smoke either.
While I was reading "Compendium of Materia Medica", I listened to them chatting.
Xiao Tang's boyfriend has a household registration in the city, but he has no good job, so he can only take his father's job and go to Luotuo Group to work as a civilian. His income is not high, but his family is well-off and there is no pressure to buy a house and get married.
"I plan to buy a suite in the Golden Garden next to Jianhe River on Dingding Road. You can take bus No. 67 to get off work." The young man named Zhu Dingqi proudly promised his girlfriend.
Xiao Tang is a rural native of Yiyang County. He dared not ask to buy a house in the city, so he was worried: "The house price there must be not cheap, so let's go to the suburbs to buy a house? I want a bigger house."
They got married and bought a house with me, but it sounded a little bitter. The golden garden was about 3,000 yuan per square meter, and the possibility of me being able to buy it is very small. Even the house price in Mapo in the suburbs is about 2,000 yuan. It seems that I can only go back to our county to buy a house.
Xiao Tang and her boyfriend failed to reach an agreement, so they turned around to go to the rounds.
Zhu Dingqi turned to me and asked, "Where are you from?"
I answered truthfully: "Qiantang Zhizhai, Xin'an County." After closing the "Compendium of Materia Medica", I opened the acupuncture book and continued to read.
He must have learned about my situation from Xiao Tang, so he comforted me: "Although you are a doctor, your income is still considerable after becoming famous. Do you still know how to acupuncture?"
I quickly replied: "I just learned it, but I have never actually done it."
Zhu Dingqi whispered to me: "If you have a practicing physician certificate, you can open a clinic by yourself and earn a lot of money."
I never thought about opening a clinic by myself. It’s not that I look down on individual doctors, but that I have no idea about my medical skills and the cost of opening a clinic.
After get off work, Zhu Dingqi pretended to be generous and invited me to have midnight snacks, but I refused. After leaving the hospital gate, I felt someone staring at me secretly, so I speeded up. When I turned around the corner, I stopped quickly and turned around and saw a fat man stopping as well, deliberately reaching out to attract a taxi.
I'm sure this fat man was not Zhu Dingqi, but who would it be?
Someone was following me. Did I offend anyone?
When I returned to my residence, I was lying in bed and tossing and unable to sleep. I guess who would follow me?
Could it be Huang Fei’s civil servant boyfriend? He knew that I had dinner with my senior sister, and misunderstood our relationship?
The next day, it was still afternoon work. I slept until I woke up naturally, but the house was a little cold. When I was staying in the quilt and reading a book, I heard a knock on the door and had to get out of bed and open the door. Who would come to me at this time?
I asked casually: "Here is here, who?"
"It's me, you can open the door first!"
I'm not the landlord, I've paid him a rent for two months.
The door opened, and a fat man in a black leather jacket took off his mask. It turned out to be Lao Ma's son. I hurriedly invited him in and asked: "How do you know that I live here? Is there anything to ask me for trouble?"
He sat down on the chair and admitted frankly: "Doctor Yuan, do you know about my dad?"
I was shocked after hearing this and asked: "What's wrong with your dad? Haven't you been discharged from the hospital?"
I was just curious about the word "longevity" on Lao Ma's arm.
Lao Ma's son took out a box of Meiden cigarettes and gave me one. I refused. He started smoking by himself, and then said, "My dad is now disabled, so don't pursue him anymore, let him go!"
I was even more confused. After taking his last puff of cigarette, he extinguished it on the ground and said, "My dad had been to Yehugou, Guling before. After he came back, he was worried, but he still couldn't escape the disaster. If you were willing to let him go, there would be 500,000 here, you can keep it."
He took out a bag of money from his leather jacket and put it on my bed.
"This is all the money from my family. I have sold the excavator and are going back to my hometown to farm!" Xiaoma explained.
I didn't dare to accept the huge amount of money that came suddenly, so I immediately refused and asked: "What do you mean? How about I not treat your father?"
"My father even hid this matter, but he still couldn't hide it. Twenty years ago, my father and a group of people from the same village went out to work. When they passed by Yehugou in the Mangling Mountains, a well-drawn craftsman encouraged them to rob the tomb and invited two local people together." Xiaoma said slowly.
My face changed and I thought to myself, "Twenty years ago, was this group of people invited my grandfather and Brother Zhenmin's father?"
Xiao Ma explained more carefully: "They entered an ancient tomb and took a lot of treasures, but they could not leave. They also encountered the tomb owner's wronged soul entangled. The older guide asked them to put the treasure back, and the timid ones did as they did. But my father was unwilling to accept it, so he secretly hid a gold bracelet, and then made a poisonous oath to the tomb owner that he would return it twice as much when he was rich in the future."
"The tomb owner's wronged soul agreed, but he had a word for longevity on his arm. If my father could fulfill his promise, he would live a hundred years old, otherwise he would be unable to escape. But my father has been delaying and refused to fulfill his promise, but he did not expect that he would still be in a disaster."
After hearing Xiaoma’s statement, I immediately understood and asked in my heart: “Are there really ghosts in this world?”
Grandpa and Zhenmin's father did enter the ancient tomb, but returned empty-handed. In order to keep this secret, they both died soon.
There must be a hidden secret here. Why did Lao Ma, who took the treasure, not die immediately, and grandfather, who didn't take the goods, die soon?
I asked Xiaoma: "What about the villagers who entered the ancient tomb with your father back then? Especially the Taojing craftsman, how is the situation now?"
Xiaoma replied expressionlessly: "They were all dead, without exception. Some died of old age, some died of illness, and some were hit by a car, but many of these people returned empty-handed from the tomb. The Taojing craftsman died the worst, and was crushed to death by a train. Among these people, my father was still alive."
