Headless General (4)
After dark, Luo Sichen and Xuehu hid in the iron cabinet. The two of them sat opposite each other in the small space. In order not to suffocate to death, Luo Sichen left a small gap in the cabinet door. As for the office door , he opened it wide and turned on the light. Of course, Luo Sichen didn't want those workers to come out to cause trouble, so he told Zhou Yongcai and asked Zhou Yongcai to tell the workers not to come out if they heard any noise at night. Waiting quietly, Luo Sichen and Xuehu waited in the iron cabinet for more than two hours, but there was still no movement. Xuehu had sensitive ears and was confident that there was no movement outside yet, so he asked in a low voice: "Sichen, are you there?" Said he would come tonight?"
"I don't know." Luo Sichen leaned his head against the iron cabinet and smiled. "But I'm sure that if he doesn't come today, he will come tomorrow."
"Why?"
"No reason, just a feeling. Don't you think that headless ghost is strange? It appears once and then disappears for a few days."
"It's a little strange." Xue Hu replied in a low voice. She felt that Luo Sichen was thinking about something, but Luo Sichen didn't tell her. As a result, she couldn't ask again and could only continue to wait.
In the middle of the night, the iron cabinet became much cooler, as if it had suddenly cooled down. Luo Sichen was about to fall asleep while waiting, when suddenly he was gently shaken by the snow fox.
"Si Chen."
"What's wrong?" Luo Sichen opened his eyes.
Xuehu leaned his head, hissed, and looked out from the crack of the iron door...
The lights in the office were turned on, and a man suddenly appeared at the door. A man wearing armor. He held an old ax in his hand. He stood motionless at the door. Snow Fox slowly looked up. , Sure enough, it was the headless guy, but that guy didn't seem to have any intention of coming in, he just stood motionless at the door. After a long time, when Xuehu was thinking about whether to go out and take down the headless ghost, the headless ghost moved, and the armor made a scraping sound. The headless ghost swung the ax, cutting up and down, with mechanical movements. And slowly. Luo Sichen also saw it and held his breath, ready to take action at any time.
At this moment, the headless ghost seemed to hear something, turned around and ran away. Xuehu and Luo Sichen rushed out of the cabinet and chased after them desperately. Logically speaking, Xuehu's speed was incomparable to other creatures. Yes, but when she chased him out, except for the mud on the construction site and the machines on the construction site, there was no one around. Luo Sichen was so angry that he cursed himself: "Damn, I'm such a pig. If I had taken action earlier, it would have been solved."
"I don't blame you, he ran too fast." Xuehu comforted her gently.
Luo Sichen knew that Xuehu was right. It was not that he was too slow, but that the other party was too fast. So who was the other party? Even if it is a ghost, there should be some breath left behind. He didn't feel it at all. What's the reason? Could it be that people are pretending? It was impossible. How could anyone run so fast? Not to mention faster than him. He couldn't even catch up with the snow fox. This was incredible. Judging from this, Luo Sichen felt that the other person was neither human nor ghost. monster. After hearing Luo Sichen's thoughts, Xuehu shook his head: "No, he is not only neither a human nor a ghost, nor a demon." Xuehu himself is a demon and knows that demons have demonic aura. Although some demons are good at hiding, It can leave some breath, but the snow fox only smells corpse air, without the smell of goblins.
Luo Sichen and Xue Hu walked back to the office. After sitting on the chairs, Luo Sichen began to think about the whys that he couldn't figure out? At this time, Xuehu reminded softly: "Why doesn't he come in when the door is open?"
"Does he know we are inside?" Luo Sichen looked up at Xuehu.
Xue Hu shook his head: "No, with the skills of the two of us, he shouldn't be able to notice it. If he has that ability, we should be able to feel his presence."
"You're right." Luo Sichen nodded, but he couldn't figure it out.
Xuehu sighed and looked around the room casually. Suddenly, she found something under the cabinet. She couldn't see clearly. It was a dark patch. Xuehu was curious and reached under the cabinet. Luo Sichen thought Xuehu was taking out the partition, so he hurriedly said, "You don't need to do it. I'll do the cabinet later."
"No, there is something underneath." Xuehu stretched out his hand and finally reached the thing. When he pulled it out, he saw that it was a rotten wooden board. The color of the wooden board was very dark, as if it had been there for many years. In addition, there were deep stains on the board. With the corpse aura, Xuehu exclaimed: "Si Chen, could he be looking for this?"
"Let me take a look." Luo Sichen walked to Xue Hu's side, looked at it, and said to himself: "Is this a coffin board?"
"A bit like it." Xuehu nodded.
Luo Sichen turned the board over and saw that the back of the board was covered with patterns. It was a pattern, but it looked a bit like a painting, but it was a little blurry and could not be distinguished very clearly. Luo Sichen pointed to a few recognized patterns and said : "This is a flower...this is a fish...and a bird...this..." There is another pattern that Luo Sichen can't understand.
Xue Hu came over, looked at it carefully, raised his head and looked at Luo Sichen gently and replied, "What's behind the bird is armor."
"Armor?" Luo Sichen frowned.
Snow Fox nodded. She was sure it was armor, because the shape on it was almost the same as the armor worn by the headless ghost. Luo Sichen took the wooden board, sat on a chair and began to study it slowly. He found that apart from visible things like flowers, plants, fish and birds, the pattern on the entire board was just some incomprehensible symbols, not even half a word. Luo Sichen strongly doubted whether this thing belonged to the era before writing. Xuehu laughed after hearing this. Although she had been dead for thousands of years, she still understood this knowledge. She corrected it with a smile: "Luo Yi's book said However, before writing, there were no wooden coffins."
"Has it been written in her book?" Luo Sichen looked at Xue blankly.
Hu, after Xue Hu said this, Luo Sichen discovered something. It seemed that he had not seriously read any novel written by Luo Yi for so long.
Xuehu nodded and replied: "Yes, she mentioned it in the book."
"Then what era is this thing from?" Luo Sichen chose to believe in Xuehu's memory, because he lacked part of his growing up experience and naturally did not understand certain knowledge.
Xuehu shook his head: "I don't know, but I think these patterns seem to express something..."
"...No way...Male version of Xiao Yanzi?" Luo Sichen thought of the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" he had watched. The heroine Xiao Yanzi in it could not write but used drawing to express what she wanted to say. , although the idea was a bit ridiculous, Luo Sichen felt that it was possible. He wanted to know what was on the board. Before that, he had to find someone to help repair the board.
Just when Luo Sichen was calling a friend, Xuehu found two more understandable patterns, one was a guzheng and the other was an incense burner, but no matter what, she couldn't connect the pieces of information. After Luo Sichen made the call, he saw Xue Hu looking at it so seriously and asked with a smile: "Did you find anything new?"
"..." Xue Hu shook his head and looked at Luo Sichen. "Are we taking this back?"
"No." How could Luo Sichen take this thing away? If the headless ghost is really looking for this thing, then it is very likely that he will follow Luo Sichen and run across thousands of mountains and rivers. Did everyone know about the commotion? Such weird things would be reconciled. Luo Sichen was afraid that irrelevant people would be affected, and he was also afraid that he would be harmed. When the time came, no one would save him, which would be miserable.
Xuehu smiled slightly: "So, we are going to stay here?"
"I definitely can't leave today. My friend will come over tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes." Luo Sichen nodded, unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, and said casually: "He is half an expert on cultural relics. He always likes to play with these ancient gadgets. He has repaired many things that were impossible to repair. , such as the wine glasses of the Tang Dynasty and the hairpins of the Yuan Dynasty..."
"Is he sure he can fix this?"
"There shouldn't be any big problem..." After Luo Sichen thought for a while, a smile appeared on his lips. The madman he knew would work hard to repair any cultural relics he wanted to know about. Countless facts have proved that , as long as someone is interested, the success rate of repair can be controlled at 80%.
Xuehu listened and nodded gently... That night, the two of them slept in the office for half the night. As soon as it dawned, Zhou Yongcai came. The purpose of Zhou Yongcai's coming to the office was very simple. He just wanted to know. He couldn't catch the headless ghost, so when he heard Luo Sichen say he was close, he looked a little disappointed. Luo Sichen was afraid that Zhou Yongcai would think too much, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will be killed."
"...Eh...it's a blessing, not a curse..." Zhou Yongcai shook his head and left. He began not to believe that this young man, Luo Sichen, could catch such a ferocious 'ghost'. He left with the idea of resigning himself to fate. .
When Xuehu saw Zhou Yongcai leaving, he smiled and said, "He doesn't seem to believe you."
"...Really?" Luo Sichen raised his eyebrows, stretched his face in front of Xue Hu, and asked with a wicked smile: "Xue Fu..."
"Hmm..." Xuehu's eyes widened. Such a close distance made her a little shy. Coupled with Luo Sichen's ambiguous movements, she felt as if she was starting to think too much.
Luo Sichen smiled: "What do you think that person's expression would be like when he knew you were a vixen?"
"..." Xuehu didn't expect that Luo Sichen was actually teasing him. He turned his head away from Luo Sichen and answered with a smile: "How could he know if you didn't tell him."
Luo Sichen laughed loudly. He felt that the snow fox was getting cuter and cuter, so he couldn't help but play with the snow fox just now. Just when he was getting carried away, his cell phone rang. After answering, Luo Sichen heard something like "Handsome Horse" 'The roar...
"Luo Sichen, what kind of plane are you planning? Is it Shanxi or Shaanxi?!"
Luo Sichen was stunned for a moment and replied: "Shanxi..."
"Luo Sichen! Do you know that my time is precious?! You told me about Shaanxi last night, and I am already in Shaanxi! Did you hear that?! I am in Shaanxi now!"
