Hearing Xiangyu say this, I sat up straight. I originally wanted to say something, but Xiangyu covered my mouth, then leaned into my ear and said, "The walls have ears, and there are people here."
Keep an eye on the Zhou family, we'll go out and talk tomorrow."
I looked at her and nodded.
"Okay, you've also taken this medicine. It's almost dawn. Let's take a rest first. If the fever is still like this after dawn, then we should go to the hospital to see a doctor." Xiangyu said.
I understood what she meant, so I didn't say anything more and asked her to go back to sleep. Then she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Later, I must have been too tired, so I fell asleep without realizing it. I don’t even know when the fever went away.
Anyway, when I was woken up the next day by the sound of Xiangyu and grandma talking outside, the sun had already filled the window.
As if I was suddenly frightened by someone, I instantly jumped up on the bed, and then looked around, looking a little startled.
"Shh..." I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that if I continued like this, I would suffer from schizophrenia even if I wasn't beaten to death by my opponent.
Around this time, I decided that I must find all the astrolabees, take control of them in my own hands, and use these astrolabees to force those who are hiding in the dark or wearing masks to reveal their prototypes.
I want to see how many ghosts there are around me.
After making up my mind, I got up, changed my clothes, and walked out of the room calmly.
Grandma, who was sitting in the front hall chatting with Xiangyu, stood up immediately when she saw me walking out of the room. She might still be thinking about the slap last night, so she pinched the corners of her clothes and hesitated.
After a while, he didn't shout my nickname loudly as usual.
Grandma's frightened look made my heart hurt suddenly, and I wanted to kill all those monsters hiding in the dark that looked like humans and dogs.
My good family was ruined by this guy's fictitious sacrifice and the interests behind it.
"Milk," I tried my best to pretend to be my normal self and walked over with a playful smile.
"Cang'er," grandma called my name, and tears overflowed from the corners of her wrinkled eyes.
I felt very sad. My grandma was originally treated as a daughter by my grandpa. In an environment where the Zhou family’s old house was full of pinhole cameras, the old couple had no choice but to find themselves at odds with each other.
Last night, my grandma had no choice but to slap me again in order to prevent me from speaking out. When I was young, every time my grandpa spanked me, my grandma would shed tears on the side because of my skin.
If I shed tears, grandpa will spare me because he is afraid that she will be sad.
Therefore, after the slap last night, I knew that grandma's heart was really hurting to death.
Thinking of this, I suddenly discovered an important piece of information that I had ignored, and this information might also have been ignored by the opponents of the Zhou family and those wearing masks around me, that is, grandma's dowry.
Last night, in order to stop me from continuing to ask questions about the dowry, grandma hit me.
In this way, grandma's dowry may contain the most important clues about the astrolabe.
Xiangyu said that there are actually eight ancient books, and each ancient book contains a lot of wrong information. Could it be that the ancient books are just a cover-up, and the ancestors of the Xu family actually used the same burial location for all astrolabes.
It is represented by an object, and the place where this object was unearthed is where the astrolabe is.
That’s why gold silk and Maurya bracelets appeared in grandma’s dowry. That’s why my grandfather hit me so angrily when I was young and ignorant and only touched grandma’s dowry box.
"Zhou Cang, what's wrong with you? Is your fever not gone? Why do you look a little dazed so early in the morning?" Xiangyu probably saw me staying where I was and didn't respond to grandma, so she thought I was uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's just that the sun was a bit too hot, so my eyes couldn't relax for a while." I made up an excuse casually, and then walked over to grandma, "Mom, is there anything to eat in the kitchen?
I'm so hungry."
"Yes, I have kept them all for you. Xiangyu said that you had a high fever last night. Now that you are hungry, the fever should have gone away." Grandma said, not forgetting to touch my forehead.
I have grown up now, so my grandma no longer uses her native method to measure my temperature. When I was a child, when I had a fever, the old lady would put her lips to my forehead to judge whether my fever was gone.
Therefore, every time I had a fever in the past, I would be kissed several times by my grandma, and my grandpa expressed his envy every time by his real name.
"You sit here and I'll bring it to you. You're just sick. Don't run around. There's a big sun at the door of the kitchen. Don't bask in it." Grandma said, like a child, pooping on the ground.
Walk quickly to the kitchen.
"Zhou Cang, you are really lucky to have such a grandma." Xiangyu said with envy in her eyes.
"Yes, I really like my old lady too." I looked at my grandma's back and said a little sadly.
After a while, grandma brought me several kinds of breakfast, including soy milk and fried dough sticks, red dates and millet porridge, and marinated eggs.
I was really hungry and wolfed down the food, and after a while, I just started eating.
After breakfast, I made an excuse and walked out of the Zhou family's old house alone.
I don’t know why, but I felt that Xiangyu should be trustworthy, but I didn’t want her to know all my actions, so I didn’t take her with me when I came out.
After walking around the town for a while, I selected a small shop in a small alley and made two calls there.
The first call was to my father, but no one answered the call.
The second call was to my mother. After about three or four rings, the call was connected, but there was no sound. At first, I thought it was because the signal was not good, but after I called "Mom", the call was answered immediately.
I got hung up on, and then I couldn't get through again.
Through these two phone calls, I concluded that something must have happened to my parents, and it must be related to the horoscope.
After making these two phone calls, I started on my third goal today——
Looking for an old cell phone with an unknown number.
Because all numbers now have to be registered with real names, I am afraid that my own mobile phone is not safe, so I have to borrow someone else's mobile phone number.
I set my target on the old lady who was dozing off in the canteen.
After some haggling, I bought the old lady's probably antique Nokia phone for 3,000 yuan, along with the number on the phone.
After I got the phone, I immediately called Andrew.
The phone only rang twice before he answered it and immediately knew it was me. "Zhou Cang, I've been waiting for your call for a long time. How is it? Have you decided to cooperate with me?"
"In the future, use this number to contact me and contact me via text message. I am calling you this number just to let you confirm that it is me. Now I have some things to deal with, so I may not be able to go to Shentang Bay right away.
, you prepare what you need first, I will sort it out and set off immediately, I will inform you then." I finished this sentence in a tone that surprised even myself, without doing any drafting before.
, everything is improvised.
Andrew on the other end of the phone was silent for a short while, and then laughed loudly and said: "Zhou Cang, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be different."
"That's it," I said, and hung up the phone.
It is actually very easy to make a boy grow up, just force him to despair.
I looked up at the bright white sun, which hurt my eyes a little: it was time to start fighting back.
