Yin Xiaoman felt a chill in her heart, and her fingertips became cold.
"Did all this happen after you moved into my house?" she asked with difficulty after a while.
"Yes. Oh, no."
Li Fang had just finished answering when she realized something was wrong.
I quickly explained: "Sister Xiaoman, you don't think I'm saying there's something wrong with your house, do you? How is that possible?
If there really is a problem, it is ours. What does it have to do with your house? Your family lived here for so many years before we moved in, and nothing happened, right? ”
"Oh, Sister Xiaoman, please don't think too much. If I had known, I wouldn't have told you."
Her tone was full of annoyance, and you could tell that she was speaking from her heart and was not being perfunctory.
"No, I didn't think much about it."
Yin Xiaoman shook his head: "I just think it's a bit strange. So many things happened at the same time, it's hard not to feel strange."
"It's quite strange." Li Fang also nodded.
Then she subconsciously looked around, then put her head close to Yin Xiaoman's ear and asked quietly: "Sister Xiaoman, do you believe in Feng Shui?"
Yin Xiaoman raised his head.
"Oh, I was just saying it for fun."
These days, such words are really too sensitive. Li Fang must have regretted saying it. Seeing that Yin Xiaoman didn't say anything, he was frightened and explained hurriedly.
"believe."
Yin Xiaoman looked at her and said, "Everything has a reason. If something can be passed down from ancient times to the present day, it must have its reason for existence. I believe it."
Hearing her say this, Li Fang's eyes suddenly turned red.
Then when he looked at Yin Xiaoman again, his expression was actually much more intimate than before.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "My grandfather used to believe in these things. There were many books on this subject at home, such as the Book of Changes. He gave them all to my mother when she got married. Since my brother didn't believe in them, my mother left them all to me.
As a result, during the revolution a few years ago, my father forced me to burn all of them, leaving not a single one. But I have imprinted everything in it in my mind since I was a child.
Sister, I haven't told anyone, but I found that the area behind Shuanggui Village was marked by someone.
There were always accidents at the educated youth sites, and I always suspected it was related to those marks. ”
"What mark?" Yin Xiaoman was really confused at this moment.
Before, she always thought that her dreams were related to her father’s family background, and those people were rummaging around the house, looking for something her father had hidden.
But she had never dreamed of any signs.
What is going on here?
"I'm not sure either." Li Fang hesitated.
"Some rocks on the road were obviously moved, and some trees were chopped off. There were also a lot of strange little holes dug on the flat ground. These were things that were not easy to notice, and no one would care if they were seen alone.
But no matter how I look at it, I feel that this is man-made. I don’t know if it is a formation or a mark left for people. ”
Yin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat when he heard Li Fang's words, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Although this girl is not young, she went to the village right after graduating from school. She has not had contact with many people and her mind is relatively simple.
In her opinion, the marks she mentioned were Feng Shui formations set up by someone, but to Yin Xiaoman, they sounded more like marks left by some organization.
Having stayed in the army for a long time, they learned a lot about other things, but their family members were organized to study the confidentiality regulations, the methods of spies and so on seriously.
Especially when he was in the Vanguard Camp, Yin Xiaoman personally participated in the operation of catching spies.
Li Fang's words made her first reaction that this matter was definitely no longer the private family matter she thought it was, and it was very likely related to a bigger incident.
"Have you told anyone about this?" Her tone finally became serious.
Li Fang shook her head, looking a little bewildered: "No? I'm just guessing. Who can I tell?"
"good."
Yin Xiaoman stood up and said to her, "Li Fang, I have something urgent to do and I have to go out for a while. I won't keep you here. I made some delicious food these two days, please come over for dinner."
Hearing this, Li Fang naturally didn't want to stay any longer and immediately got up and said goodbye and left.
After seeing Li Fang off, Yin Xiaoman did not return to the house, but went directly to the expert group's research laboratory and found Mr. Hua.
She figured it out on the way and realized that this matter must be reported to the organization. But before reporting, you have to discuss it with your family first.
When she got to Mr. Hua, she had just started to speak when he immediately interrupted her.
He took Yin Xiaoman to a more secluded place, which was the office they used to hold confidential meetings. No one was allowed to enter there at will.
Mr. Hua sent someone to find Shen Qingyun, and only after he arrived did he let Yin Xiaoman continue.
Yin Xiaoman repeated Li Fang's words verbatim, especially the experiences of the female educated youth and the mark on the back village that she mentioned.
Then she opened a cloth bag she had been holding in her hand and took out the wooden box left by her father, which she had never shown to anyone.
"This was left by my father, and I discovered it by accident after he died. I couldn't find the key to the box, so I never opened it.
I had never told anyone about this box because I always felt that there was something wrong with it.
Later, the reason why I was in a hurry to join the army and lend my house to the brigade as a place for educated youth was because I was afraid that this box would bring disaster to me..."
Yin Xiaoman told the two people in front of him all his thoughts, except for his memories and dreams.
She has thought it through clearly, and now it's time to speak.
If you ask her who she trusts most in this world, it would be the two people in front of her.
One is her man, and the other is the only relative she has known so far. And she could feel that both of them were sincere to her.
Yin Xiaoman’s words shocked both of them.
Shen Qingyun felt that the case had finally been solved.
What he could not understand the most before was why his wife suddenly changed her mind and went from being determined not to join the army to being eager to join the troops?
Now that I have seen this box, the question mark is naturally immediately solved.
He also thought about how before he returned to the Pioneer Camp, his wife had written back early to solve the problem of the house at home, and she solved it so beautifully.
It's like having the ability to predict the future.
The box seems to be because of this box.
Its existence has always been an insurmountable hurdle in the daughter-in-law's heart, making her always in a state of fear and caution.
Thinking of this, he held Yin Xiaoman's hand with heartache.
What shocked Mr. Hua was that he had never known the existence of this box!
At least his wife doesn't have one.
He touched the antique wooden box, which clearly showed its age, and looked carefully at the exquisite little lock.
Then I realized that Xiaoman was right. This box and its lock were too delicate. It was impossible to open it without a key without completely destroying the box.
He looked up at Yin Xiaoman, then told himself with certainty that there was no need to say anything extra. This girl would never agree to anyone destroying her father's belongings.
"Do you think those people are looking for this box?" he asked after a moment's silence.
Yin Xiaoman was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I used to think so, but now I feel like it's not true."
She looked up at Shen Qingyun: "You should know the open space in the back village, right? It's quite far from my house. If they were looking for the box, shouldn't they have gone to my house? Why did they go to the open space in the back village? And why did they leave any marks?"
This made Elder Hua's pupils shrink suddenly. He quickly interrupted their conversation and asked anxiously: "What does the mark look like? ... Where is Li Fang? Qingyun, go and find her yourself!"
Shen Qingyun had never seen Mr. Hua behave so out of control before. He didn't even dare to ask any questions. He just stood up and walked out.
Before he left the room, Mr. Hua could no longer sit still. He stood up and paced around the room, obviously unable to control his emotions.
Yin Xiaoman looked at him quietly, not daring to ask any questions.
On the contrary, after turning around a few times, Mr. Hua sighed deeply, turned his head and looked at Yin Xiaoman with complicated eyes, and said apologetically: "If I am not mistaken, Xiaoman, this disaster may be caused by me, not because of your box."
Yin Xiaoman sat up straight at once.
"Uncle, what did you say?"
You can't blame her for blurting out the name she had kept in her heart. She was just too surprised!
Mr. Hua's words overturned her previous understanding.
She kept thinking about those dreams, including what Li Fang said today, and kept trying to figure out the connection between them. But even if she racked her brains, she couldn't imagine that this matter was related to Mr. Hua!
Hearing her call like that, the expression on Mr. Hua's face became even uglier, and was filled with guilt.
"When we were in the Pioneer Camp, I saw the wooden sign around your neck, and then I asked you about your parents. Do you remember?"
Yin Xiaoman nodded: "Remember."
"Because your hometown, age, and everything else you said don't match your father's situation, but that brand is 100% owned by the Jiang family. I'm confused and can't figure out the connection.
In desperation, I had to send someone to your hometown to inquire about the situation.
Now that I think about it, maybe I wasn’t careful enough at the time and let this matter leak out.
Let someone know your existence.
To be honest, this happened so long ago that I would have almost forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. If you hadn't mentioned that the place is far from your home, I wouldn't have thought about it in this way.
Now I also feel that it is definitely not the case that the villains learned about your father's situation and ran to your house to look for the treasure.
Such behavior is very much like an organized spy operation. ”
Shen Qingyun moved very quickly. Just as Mr. Hua was talking to Yin Xiaoman about this, he had already brought Li Fang here.
Li Fang has never had this kind of experience in her life? Especially after walking through such a long corridor and going all the way to the belly of the mountain, and following the Captain Shen whom she feared the most...
When she arrived at the office, the girl's mouth turned pale with fear.
"Sister Xiaoman."
When she saw Yin Xiaoman, she was like seeing a savior. She took two quick steps, surpassed Shen Qingyun, ran to her, and grabbed her arm tightly.
His eyes were filled with longing, as if he was about to cry.
Seeing her nervousness, Mr. Hua laughed twice.
Then he kindly pointed to the seat next to him and said to her gently, "Comrade Li Fang, don't be afraid, it's nothing. We asked you to come here today because we want to understand some things."
