“…If I have any misfortune, I hope Brother Lin will not pursue it any further. Let everything go. Everything is fate. It has already targeted me…” The back of the letter seemed to be deliberately ignited. I wanted to burn it all, but I still left this little content.

Who was targeting Professor Moy? He was eager for the old man to go at first, but later changed his mind. I flipped through the box again. It seemed that there was something else? At the bottom of the box, I found another book about archaeology at the bottom of the box. It seemed to be a very ordinary book.

I opened it casually, and a yellowed paper fell out of the book. It seemed to be a receipt.

“This is…”

I was a little puzzled. After a closer look, it turned out to be a pawn ticket. The year of the pawn ticket has been more than ten years. It is a time-honored brand called Tianyi Pawn Shop.

The text on the pawn ticket is still clearly visible, but the thing pawned is actually… "Journey to the West". Could this thing be the "Journey to the West" that Professor Moy sent to my grandfather?

But why did the old man pawn this book? I really don’t understand.

From the time of the pawn ticket, it can be seen that it was probably pawned before the old man disappeared.

"Boom--"

Suddenly, I felt the top of my head begin to shake. I looked up and saw that the stone door of the secret room slowly cracked a gap, and then water poured in. Oh no, I have to leave here quickly.

In a panic, I picked up the pawn ticket and some letters that I could take away from the box, and prepared to find an exit. The originally small space seemed even more strange at this moment, and the soil on the surrounding walls began to fall off.

"Bang--"

I had just taken a few steps when a big hole appeared in the corner on the right. I went out through the hole and heard the sound of the secret room collapsing behind me.

"Ahem--"

When I finally climbed out, I was actually under the bookcase in the room of my grandfather's house. I quickly pushed the door out, and at this time, I ran into Da Kui who looked anxious.

"Where have you been, kid? I've been looking for a long time, but I can't see a ghost." Da Kui stared at me.

"I..."

I pretended to yawn and smiled embarrassedly, "I was sleeping inside just now, I was sleepy, so..."

"Oh, by the way, what happened when you called your dad just now?"

I just remembered.

Da Kui had a gloomy face and cursed for a long time, "This place is really bad, there is no signal anywhere, if I stay here for two more days, not to mention no archaeological discoveries, even I will become a primitive man!"

"How about we go to the town for a few days?"

I suddenly thought of the pawn ticket left by my grandfather. If I redeem that thing, maybe I can find some clues, maybe I can know what the old man has experienced, and the secret of his disappearance for more than ten years.

"Brother, I am so touched that you can have this idea." Da Kui patted my shoulder seriously.

I guess Da Kui was also traumatized by what happened in the village.

Until the evening, I didn't see the shadow of my parents. Obviously, they would not come back tonight. At night, the village was dead silent all around, and no sound could be heard.

"Ding-ling-ling--"

In the second half of the night, I was awakened by a crisp bell. I woke up from the bed in a daze. When I opened the window, a cold wind came in from outside, and I shivered for a while.

"What's that sound?"

I don't know whether Da Kui was awakened by the cold wind or by the noise. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window. In the dark, the sound was particularly creepy, like someone knocking on an old bronze bell, and it seemed very deep.

The bell was getting closer and closer to us. Suddenly, something appeared downstairs of my house...

Then I could still see it in the dim moonlight. It was...

"Horse?"

But when the horse passed by downstairs of my house, I clearly smelled the smell of decay in the air, and there was something on the horse's back, which was a little unclear, and the horse walked very slowly!

Of course, in the deep mountains, almost every household in our village would raise a horse to facilitate the transportation of things in the mountains.

The horse went straight to the house of the Third Master.

"What?"

Da Kui rubbed his eyes.

The horses in the village are generally raised for several years. No matter where they are lost, they can be found by following the path. But it was late at night, and we didn't know what the horse was carrying.

"Ah——"

Soon after the horse disappeared from our sight, a heart-wrenching sound came from the village.

Not good!

My head buzzed loudly, and I felt something was wrong. The scream came from the gate of the Third Master's yard.

This scream almost woke up everyone in the village. The villagers followed the sound and rushed over. Only then did they see that there was a light on the gate of the Third Master's house, and there was a person lying on the ground!

That person was the Third Grandma who fainted!

The Third Master seemed a little lost, his face was pale, as if he was possessed by evil spirits, and his eyes were staring at the horse. At this moment, the horse was at the door, not moving.

"Dead...dead..."

The Third Master's lips trembled, and he could not speak clearly.

"Bang--" As soon as he finished speaking, two people rolled down from the horse...
