The fat man sighed, took Agui's hand, and stood up unsteadily while holding on to the table, almost tripping over the bench. He finally regained his balance and forgot what he was about to do.

Although the sweet wine was delicious, Wu Xiaoxie himself felt a little dizzy after drinking too much, so he stood up and went to the pool on the side to get cold water and splash it on his face.

After washing his face with cold spring water, he felt quite awake. Wu Xiaoxie then thought about asking Agui for some fruit.

As soon as he raised his face, he saw the fat man holding his waist and squeezing against the wall. His face was almost pressed against the wall. He didn't know what he was looking at, but he was looking at him so absorbedly.

Wu Xiaoxie thought he had drunk too much and was in trance. Just as he was about to walk over and take a look, he saw the fat man suddenly turning his head, his eyes red from the alcohol, looking left and right as if he was looking for someone.

After spotting Wu Xiaoxie diagonally behind him, he immediately waved, "Zhenzhen, come here quickly."

Wu Xiaoxie walked over and asked him what was going on.

The fat man pointed to a yellowed and old black-and-white photo in the lower right corner of the large photo frame on the wooden wall, and lowered his voice, "Look at this, who is the person in this?"

When Wu Xiaoxie saw it, his eyes widened immediately. Among the three people in the photo, one of them was Chen Wenjin!

He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and hurriedly called Agui over and asked, "When was this photo taken?"

Agui came over to take a look, thought for a moment, and recalled, "It must have been decades ago."

"This person is my father." He pointed to the man wearing traditional Yao costumes in the photo and pointed to Chen Wenjin, who was wearing an archaeological uniform next to him. "This woman is from the expedition team."

Wu Xiaoxie's scalp exploded and he hurriedly asked him, "Inspection team? Has an inspection team come here?"

Agui nodded, a little confused as to why he looked so excited, but he still pointed to a direction up the mountain with the cigarette rod in his hand, and said: "I'm not very sure. I heard rumors that it's that way. When something was discovered in the mountains, an expedition team was sent from above. They worked on it for several years, but then suddenly nothing happened."

When Wu Xiaoxie heard this, he thought to himself, "Hey guys, this is really a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. This trip is really not in vain." He quickly grabbed Agui and asked him to tell him in detail about the archaeological team back then.

Agui's expression became suspicious, "Why are the bosses asking about this?"

The fat man was almost sober by this time. When he saw this, he pulled Agui to sit at the table and began to use his best deception skills.

The younger brother also got off the stone pier on one side and stood next to it, listening carefully to Agui's account of what happened that year.

The fat man lost 300 yuan because of this. In order to delay time and earn more money, Agui deliberately explained the matter in detail.

Wu Xiaoxie also took the opportunity to bring the camera over and asked him about the address inside.

"You are looking for this place." Agui's attitude became obviously more enthusiastic as he got money for just talking, "This place is indeed in our village, but it is far away from here. It is already dark now. How about I take you there tomorrow after dinner in the morning?"

Wu Xiaoxie and the three of them looked at each other. Although they were anxious, they were afraid of arousing suspicion, so they had to smile and respond.

The fat man was still chatting calmly, and he and Agui were drinking and chatting animatedly.

The little brother leaned on the pillar, looked up at the starry night sky, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wu Xiaoxie walked up to him and comforted him: "Don't be too impatient. We don't have the key in our hands. I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion if we go there hastily. Have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Anyway, that's it." The house is there and it won’t suddenly disappear.”

The little brother was silent and didn't speak.

Wu Xiaoxie sighed, and when the cool breeze blew, he had just drank a lot of wine, and now the alcohol was rushing to his head. His mind was a little overwhelmed, and his stomach was a little full, so he thought about drinking some water in the evening. Also get a good night's sleep.

As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a wooden building diagonally ahead of him. There seemed to be a person standing next to a window on the second floor.

He rubbed his eyes, half-squinted and looked over carefully, and then realized that it seemed to be a shadow. There was no light in the room, and under the moonlight, the shadow looked gray.

Moreover, Wu Xiaoxie found that the two shoulders of the shadow seemed to have been gouged out. The two places collapsed suddenly, just like the photo Muyu took from Chu Guangtou, there was a hanging hanging behind the screen. The shadows are almost identical!

As the cool breeze blew, Wu Xiaoxie shivered all over, and all the alcoholism was driven out of his body by cold sweat. His brain was sober at this moment.

"Brother..." He hurriedly turned around and called someone, pointing to the window and said, "Look over there, there is... hmm?"

As soon as he turned his head, there was nothing next to the window, only darkness.

The younger brother frowned slightly and stared over there, "What did you see just now?"

Wu Xiaoxie looked away with difficulty and said softly: "Shadow, the shadow behind the screen in that photo, I just saw it there, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

The little brother was silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the wooden building over there.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by Agui, "Bosses!"

Agui took two quick steps over, blocked the entrance to the stairs, and said with a smile: "Your room is not here. It's getting late and it's time to rest. I'll take you upstairs to the room specially arranged for guests."

Wu Xiaoxie turned around and saw that Fatty had fallen asleep on the table, mumbling in his sleep.

He cursed in his heart that Fatty was so unsatisfactory that he could be overwhelmed so easily.

Seeing Agui blocking the entrance to the stairs, Wu Xiaoxie felt strange and asked casually, "I think the scenery outside the fence here is good, can we change our room to this side?"

A look of uneasiness flashed across Agui's face, and then he felt a little embarrassed: "To be honest, my youngest son lives upstairs here. He has poor health and a weird temper. He doesn't go out often... "

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes flashed, and then he said with a nonchalant smile: "That's it, then it's okay. I just said casually, uncle, please bring me two bowls of sobering soup. My friend is very drunk. I'm worried about him. I feel bad at night."

"Hey, okay."

Agui responded and helped Wu Xiaoxie help the fat man upstairs to lie down, then turned and left.

The creaking sound of the bamboo stairs gradually faded away.

Wu Xiaoxie stood sideways by the window, hiding his body behind the wooden wall, looking down until Agui's figure entered the kitchen, then turned around and looked at each other.

"I'm sure I'm not blind." Wu Xiaoxie said with a frown, "There is indeed a figure with slumped shoulders in that room, and when talking about that room, Agui's expression was a little strange, so I think, that There is a big problem with the house."

The younger brother nodded, his expression a little solemn.

Wu Xiaoxie took out his cell phone and whispered: "I have to call Muyu and tell him to hide when he comes."
