"Fatty, have you ever offended anyone?" Finally, I turned my gaze to Fatty.
Fatty was confused by the question. "What are you talking about, Brother Mu? You know me. When have I ever done anything to offend others?" Fatty was wronged. Besides not liking school and contradicting his teacher, he hadn't offended anyone.
"Could it be that one of my teachers dislikes me and wants to harm me?" Fatty put forward his own idea.
"Please spare your teacher. Is he stupid enough to harm you?" I couldn't help worrying about Fatty's IQ. It was really not easy to grow up so big!
Suddenly, the window was blown open by a gust of wind. "Snap!" The room instantly darkened - there was a power outage.
Fatty shivered with fright and quickly hid behind me. As soon as he came, he felt that this ancestral house was very strange. Sure enough, something happened! He was really smart.
"Brother Mu, think of a way quickly!" Fatty urged me anxiously. What if a ghost came to take him away! He hadn't lived enough.
"Don't worry. It's okay," Chen Mu said. "It's normal for the circuit in this ancestral house to be unstable. It's okay." Chen Mu was right. It was normal for a house that had been around for so long to have an unstable circuit. The wires were aging.
I turned on my phone. The bright light shone on my face, adding a bit of strangeness.
I found the flashlight and turned it on. The area in front of the desk was illuminated, shining on the paper that had been torn off just now. The words on it began to blur, and the writing faded. Finally, it became a blank piece of paper.
Fatty was hiding behind me and didn't notice this strange scene. I looked at the blank piece of paper in front of me in disbelief. I wasn't scared, but I just felt it was strange.
"I'll go to the power room to see if the circuit breaker tripped," I patted Fatty on the back and said. "Stay here and don't run away. Wait for me to come back."
Fatty grabbed my arm and refused to let go. "No, I'll go with you. Don't leave me alone here."
I saw his fear and had to take him with me. The two of us walked towards the power room together. It was still a bit of a distance from my own room. The power room was very close to the wood shed. They were both in front of the wing room on the west side. These two rooms were not often visited. They were eerily quiet.
Looking at the doors of the two rooms, Fatty tightened his fist and unconsciously swallowed his saliva. There shouldn't be any fierce beasts behind the doors.
"Creak" sound, the door of the power room was opened by me. The dust came towards us. "Cough cough" Both of them were choked. "Brother Mu, how long has it been since anyone came to this power room?"
"If there are no circuit problems, no one will come. Besides, no one has lived in this ancestral house for a long time," I said as I opened the circuit breaker box. "Strange, the circuit breaker didn't trip. Everything is normal."
I used the flashlight to shine inside and outside the circuit breaker box. I didn't find any problems.
"Let's go back." I could only take Fatty back. The lights were on in the room. Everything was so normal.
I frowned tightly. It was too strange. I suppressed the curiosity in my heart and walked into the room.
As soon as Fatty entered the room, he ran to the bed. The bed was suitable for him. I continued to go to the desk to look for information. "Ah!" I exclaimed in fright.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong with you?" Fatty rushed over when he heard the sound and left the comfortable bed.
I looked at the booklet that had appeared on the table in surprise. The yellow cover didn't look like a book, but more like a notebook. The cover was full of dust.
Even though he was well-informed, this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.
Fatty looked at me and then at the table. "Hey~ Brother Mu, when did you start looking at this notebook? Isn't it that thick classic?"
Chen Mu rubbed his forehead. "Someone came when we went out and left this notebook."
Fatty suddenly realized something and then suddenly realized something. He rushed to my side and grabbed my arm. "It can't be haunted, can it, Brother Mu? I said before that this place is too evil."
So I slapped his chubby hand away. "There definitely aren't any ghosts, but there must be people with bad intentions." I calmed down my emotions and said, "It seems that this matter is not simple."
A pair of incomplete jade bottles and an old notebook. Who was calculating all this? What did they want? I felt that there was a problem with this matter, but I couldn't say exactly what was going on.
Now I could only hope that Uncle Second would come. He had experienced a lot and must know about these things. I had to ask him clearly during the ancestor worship.
So I opened the notebook. On the title page, it was written, "My Chen family's tomb-robbing adventure for the reference of future generations. This is the Yin and Yang Handbook. It must not be leaked."
Fatty looked at this notebook curiously. He was even more curious when he saw the words on it.
"Could there be any records in this book, Brother Mu?" Fatty looked at the notebook and asked me. "Maybe this is God's will. Knowing that we would get the jade bottle, they sent us the game guide."
I ignored Fatty and continued to look through the booklet. "My Chen family's descendants must remember that the secrets must not be shared with outsiders. All the places and experiences in this book must not be told to outsiders."
"This matter concerns the safety of the Chen family and the world," Fatty read. "Brother Mu, look. There is also a signature here: Chen ×. Hey, why can't I see the last character clearly?"
The note that suddenly appeared and the sudden incident. Everything happened casually, casually as if it had been deliberately arranged.
"I don't know what is recorded in this notebook, but it seems to know that we need it," I continued to flip through the notebook and found a picture that was exactly the same as the jade bottle.
"Here, Brother Mu. It also records an adventure," Fatty looked at the words under the picture and said.
"It's getting late, Fatty. Go and rest quickly. Uncle Second will come tomorrow. We'll discuss it then," I closed the notebook and pushed Fatty towards the bed. "I'm going to rest too. We can't let Uncle Second see that we're abnormal tomorrow."
Fatty had to listen to him. After all, Uncle Second was not easy to deal with.
I turned off the lights and went to sleep. The two of them took off their clothes and got into the covers. Of course, it was two sets of covers. I could accept that Fatty slept in the same bed as me. This was already the biggest concession. I had always had a strong sense of territory and hated it the most when others occupied my things.
The people in the distance outside saw the two of them go to sleep and then left.
After lying down, I didn't completely fall into a dream. I wasn't very eager to see Duke Zhou. Fatty fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed and even started snoring. In Fatty's snoring, I recalled what had happened. I didn't dare to let go of a single detail.
First, Fatty bought a bottle, but it turned out to be broken. Then, Liu Er brought him a package without a sender - another broken bottle. It was a pair with Fatty's. Then, the two of them came to the ancestral house and then these things happened.
No, someone left the room in the middle and there was an extra notebook. So who was following him? Were they in the same group as the person who sent the bottle? What were their thoughts?
The incident happened suddenly. I didn't have time to tell Uncle Second.
