Chapter 213 True and False Fourth Uncle
Chapter 213 True and False Fourth Uncle
It's dark, and many shops on both sides of the street have been closed.
Xue Xiaobao casually walked on the street that was not so lively, thinking about it, and unconsciously it was eight o'clock in the evening. With the passage of time, pedestrians on the streets are becoming more and more scarce. Only those local businessmen are still guarding the shops.
At the end of the street is a crisscrossing residential area. Xue Xiaobao looked up and saw that he had come to the end, so he wanted to turn around. At the moment he turned around and left, under the corner of his eyes, suddenly three figures carried a rectangular thing covered with black cloth, looking at a long cabinet. The three of them ran quickly into the alleys in the residential area.
Is it a thief? Xue Xiaobao narrowed his eyes and was curious, so he followed.
The three figures entered a private house. In the dim light, the three people turned their backs to the door. Xue Xiaobao lay on the window and could only see what was wrapped in black cloth on the ground.
One of them is human: "Open."
The man in the middle nodded. Two people beside him lifted the black cloth and saw a coffin appear in the room.
Xue Xiaobao frowned and looked at the coffin carefully. This coffin was not new, but an old coffin. It was probably dug out from a cemetery with dirt on it. Looking at the back of the man in the middle, Xue Xiaobao actually had a familiar feeling. Just as he was thinking about who this person was, the two had opened the lid of the coffin.
Because the light in the room is too dim, I can't see the scene in the coffin at all. Although Xue Xiaobao was very powerful, a man in front of him blocked his sight.
After opening the coffin, a man turned on the kerosene lamp and came over, blocking Xue Xiaobao's sight and quickly walked to the front of the coffin, as if he were looking at the body in the coffin.
In the light of the kerosene lamp, the man in the middle nodded, as if he was very satisfied. At the same time, Xue Xiaobao also saw the scene in the coffin clearly. He thought that these people were like-in-way, but when he saw the bodies in the coffin, he couldn't help hesitating and was stunned when he grew up.
"It's the fourth uncle... the fourth uncle... he... how could he... die..." Xue Xiaobao repeatedly said about his fourth uncle in his heart. Xue Xiaobao was extremely sad. With his murderous heart, he wanted to push the door and enter. Just then, he heard a man's voice, and he fell into shock again.
"It's well done. Let the peppers put the coffin away tonight." The man in the middle said.
"Fourth Master, it's windy tonight, I'm afraid..."
Before the man finished speaking, the man in the middle waved his hand and said, "If the wind is strong, find a few more people. It must be done before dawn."
"Yes, Fourth Master!" The two of them spoke in unison and covered it with black cloth.
The moment Xue Xiaobao recognized the voice, there should have been countless reactions, doubt, anger, surprise, doubt, fear, etc., but in fact, his brain was blank.
It was really beyond Xue Xiaobao's expectation to hear his voice here. But the person lying in the coffin is exactly the same as the fourth uncle, especially the facial features, which are simply carved out of a mold.
If Xue Xiaobao hadn't heard the voice of his fourth uncle, he would have killed him earlier.
Indeed! That man's voice is indeed the fourth uncle. How could he be here? What is he doing here?
Does he want to use his fake corpse to cover up something, right? If he uses a fake corpse, there is no need to put it in the coffin?
Xue Xiaobao was puzzled, and at this time, the footsteps of two people came not far away. The footsteps sounded strange. The three were light. Is there anyone who was lame? Thinking of this, Xue Xiaobao jumped to the back of the courtyard wall and secretly watched the people.
"Brother, there are a lot of people here this time. We should pay more attention to it."
"Well, let's see."
The voice is very familiar. Xue Xiaobao can be sure that someone is Liu Zanzi. The two of them said and walked to the door. Knocking on the door, the people in the room opened the door and welcomed the two of them in.
After Xue Xiaobao's brain was blank, countless questions surged up like a tide. Xue Xiaobao couldn't think all of a sudden. What did they do here? Did they reach some kind of agreement with the fourth uncle? Why did the fourth uncle never tell me about these things? Liu Yanzi has been missing since he came back from Hebei. Today, he actually appeared in the Western Regions.
"Fourth master, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Liu Liaozi said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, to make a long story short, let's take action tonight." The fourth uncle said.
"Tonight? We just arrived..." Listening to Liu Er's tone, he seemed to be a little reluctant.
The fourth uncle raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Liu Er. Xue Xiaobao saw half of the man's face this time. This person was his fourth uncle, exactly the same as the "fourth uncle" in the coffin.
As soon as Liu Zizi saw that the fourth uncle's face was wrong, he quickly pulled Liu Er and smiled and said, "Everything is up to the fourth master's arrangement."
Liu Er suddenly remembered the eldest brother's words and immediately smiled.
The fourth uncle waved his hand, and the two people around him walked to Liu Lap and said, "Come with me."
Two of the fourth uncle's men took Liu Zanzi and Liu Er out of the door and went straight to the street.
Xue Xiaobao didn't follow him. He was wondering if he wanted to go down to say hello to his fourth uncle and ask about something.
Seeing that Liu Zanzi and others went further and further, Xue Xiaobao planned to go down and meet the fourth uncle alone, but the light in the room suddenly went out.
Xue Xiaobao took a deep breath. Never mind, I must make it clear today, otherwise I will have insomnia these days. He gently pushed open the door and whispered, "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle..., I'm Xiaobao..."
The room was dark, but he quickly got used to it. He narrowed his eyes and saw that the familiar face finally appeared clearly in front of him. The fourth uncle sat on the chair with a blank face, as if he hadn't heard Xue Xiaobao's voice.
The only difference between the fourth uncle and his meeting in Honghu County is that he has beard on his face. Xue Xiaobao carefully walked to the fourth uncle and whispered, "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, I'm Xiaobao..."
The fourth uncle still did not respond. Xue Xiaobao pushed gently. Unexpectedly, something happened. Xue Xiaobao did not force at all, but the fourth uncle actually fell down.
Xue Xiaobao's brain was completely frozen. At this time, he looked at him stupidly. He forgot all the problems he had thought about before and had nothing to say for a while. When did the fourth uncle become so vulnerable? A terrible idea flashed in Xue Xiaobao's mind. His face was pale, and his trembling hands gradually stretched out to the fourth uncle who was lying unconscious on the ground. Touching the familiar face, Xue Xiaobao's tears couldn't help flowing down.
He was afraid that the person in front of him was not his fourth uncle. If the person who fell to the ground is not the fourth uncle, the person lying in the coffin may be his fourth uncle. This kind of blow is simply fatal to him.
Xue Xiaobao repeatedly touched the fourth uncle's face carefully, but did not find the mask. Is this true? Xue Xiaobao looked back at the coffin, gritted his teeth, opened the lid of the coffin, and saw that the body lying inside was exactly the same as the fourth uncle. Xue Xiaobao's mood was very complicated, which made him feel afraid and uneasy. He even had a manic idea. This uneasiness and fear made him almost collapse.
Xue Xiaobao did not look carefully at the face of the fourth uncle lying in the coffin, but turned his eyes to his body, especially his hands. The fourth uncle has been robbing tombs all year round. He has a good skill in his hands, and the gravel with his bare hands is like playing.
Xue Xiaobao picked up the hand of the dead body and looked at it carefully. He said it was wrong. This person was not my fourth uncle. Xue Xiaobao quickly looked back at the fourth uncle who fell on the ground. Ah!" I couldn't help screaming.
