Xia Haizhou said "Hey", put his hands together, and squeezed the door open with difficulty. A puff of dust hit his face, he turned his head and choked, and waved to the person standing above: "Brother Zheng, the door is open!" , let's go in and have a look!"

In fact, Zheng Ran didn't have that kind of curiosity, he just came here as an accompanying guest, thinking that this is at best an abandoned house, what's so interesting about it?But he didn't want to disappoint, so he went down the stairs and went in together.

Xia Haizhou checked with the flashlight, and found many boxes and sundries piled up around it, which seemed to be an ordinary utility room.

"Oh, nothing." Xia Haizhou was a little disappointed.

"Then let's go out." Zheng Ran said.

The two walked out the door, and suddenly Xia Haizhou felt something quickly crawl over his instep, and he could even clearly feel the touch of four tiny claws stepping on his feet through the upper of the shoe.

Xia Haizhou trembled instantly, hugged the shoulders of the person beside him in a panic, and jumped up with his legs off the ground, as if his hair had exploded.

"what happened?"

"Rats! Damn!" Xia Haizhou was most afraid of rats in his life. Let alone seeing them with his own eyes, he would get goosebumps all over his body just thinking about them. Although he was not sure if it was the one who had just crawled over, it probably didn't run away, which made him feel nervous Oh no.

"Get out quickly!" He was the one who wanted to come just now, but now he can't wait to leave quickly.

At this moment, a gloomy cool wind blew from nowhere, and with a bang, the half-open wooden door closed by itself.

Xia Haizhou immediately rushed over to touch the rusty doorknob, and twisted it, but he didn't use the expected strength.He stared at Mr. Doorknob whose hand was out of its place, a little suspicious of life.

Zheng Ran checked it with the light of the flashlight, and said: "It seems that it cannot be opened from the inside, and it can only be pushed in from the outside."

Unconvinced, Xia Haizhou slapped the door vigorously.The door panel is thick, except for the dull sound and the pain in the palm of the hand, no one came after a long time.

"It's over, they can't hear what's going on from our side." Xia Haizhou scratched his scalp, took out his cell phone and looked at it, as expected, there was no signal at all.

"They will come to look for us when they find out that we are missing, just wait patiently."

Xia Haizhou sighed: "That's the only way." He felt a little guilty, if he hadn't insisted on coming down, Zheng Ran wouldn't have been imprisoned here with him.Even so, Zheng Ran is still so calm, which makes him very admired.

They lined up several boxes and covered them with a piece of felt ripped out of nowhere, and it became a simple resting place.In fact, Xia Haizhou was very apprehensive when moving the boxes, fearing that he would suddenly find a rat's nest. Fortunately, this terrible scene did not appear until the end.

Fearing that the power of the flashlight would run out, Xia Haizhou turned it off first.In this basement with no windows, where even the moonlight cannot penetrate, if the only light source is extinguished, only darkness remains.

In this darkness, maybe there is a nest of crawling things hidden in any corner of the wall. They are jumping around, with red eyes and long tails... Maybe they are here now...Xia Haizhou held his head , Refusing to imagine that beautiful picture.

Zheng Ran could feel that Xia Haizhou's nerves were tense, and he was thinking of finding some topics to divert his attention, but he was good at talking about business, but he was not good at finding topics for small talk, so he was stumped for a while.

After a while, Xia Haizhou changed his sitting position, and accidentally touched a hard object with his left hand, which felt like a metal box.He took it over, and somehow fiddled with it, but it broke open as soon as he broke it, and there seemed to be something inside.

Turn on the flashlight again and look at it. Inside are a stack of letters, a few yellowed photos, and two rings. Judging from the style and ring size, they should be men's.

Xia Haizhou found that all the photos showed the same man. Sometimes he was smiling and facing the camera, sometimes he was writing at his desk, and sometimes there was only one back view.The technique of black and white photos used to be like that, and these old photos were already mottled and damaged. Xia Haizhou could barely see that the man's face was deep, but he didn't look like a pure foreigner.

Xia Haizhou put it down after looking at it for a few times, then picked up the folded letter paper, but hesitated before unfolding it, and looked at the photo after seeing it, and peeping at other people's letters would be an invasion of privacy.A sense of guilt crept up in my heart, after thinking about it, I put it back.

Zheng Ran picked up one in a blink of an eye, and began to read it casually.

"..." Xia Haizhou froze for a moment, not knowing whether he should stop it or not.

After reading a letter from the beginning, Zheng Ran's expression was slightly subtle.

"Uh, it's written in English?" Xia Haizhou also looked around twice, his eyes were full of tadpole script, which was still very beautiful cursive, and he couldn't tell what was written at his level.

"German."

"Can you understand?" Xia Haizhou admired.

"I don't quite understand." Zheng Ran said lightly, "Just take a look." Just as he was talking, he picked up the second one.

...Didn't you say that you don't understand it?

It didn't take long for Zheng Ran to go through all the letters, fold them all up and put them back in the box, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Haizhou endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking: "What did you write?"

"It's a love letter."

"Ah?" Xia Haizhou was a little surprised. On second thought, it must be an important letter that could be put away solemnly. If it was a love letter, it would make sense.

"The person who wrote the letter is called Alan, and the person in the photo is called Kathy. These letters are all addressed to Kathy. There are a total of twelve letters. One is written every month, but none of them have been sent."

"...Two men?" Xia Haizhou felt as if he had grasped Huadian.

Zheng Ran paused and asked, "Do you mind?"

"No, no, I don't mean any discrimination, it's just an accident. Why didn't you send it?"

"Don't dare."

"?"

"The person who wrote the letter didn't have the courage to confess. Moreover, the current situation was turbulent and wars were frequent, so the letter might not reach Mr. Casey's hands smoothly."

"Well, when was the letter written?"

"The last letter was signed in October 194X."

"That's really long enough." Xia Haizhou felt a little emotional, and at the same time thought: "Maybe the two gentlemen are gone..."

"Common sense, yes."

"It's a pity that I didn't let the other party know my intentions until I died. So the owner here is the descendant of Mr. Allen?"

"Not necessarily, the castle may be easy to pass, because Mr. Allen mentioned in his last letter that he was about to be transferred to the frontline battlefield. At that time, he was still unmarried and should have no children."

"The battlefield?" Xia Haizhou murmured, and felt that it was reasonable. Wasn't war everywhere in those days?Even if Alan is a nobleman, he cannot escape the fate of being involved in the war.

"And then? Did he come back alive?"

"I don't know, there are no further letters."

Xia Haizhou couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that the light of the flashlight was getting dimmer and dimmed, it seemed that it would not last long. In case it would not be useful when needed, he turned it off again, and the thick darkness surrounded them again.

The biggest advantage of the interruption just now is that Xia Haizhou temporarily forgot about the rat, and Zheng Ran's breathing was soft and regular beside him, unknowingly reassuring.

Zheng Ran lowered his head, struggling in his heart, knowing that he couldn't see Xia Haizhou's face clearly, but he still turned his head to stare, "Azhou, I..." He wanted to say something, but his tone was very hesitant. After a pause, he finally Still decided not to worry about the consequences anymore, and said, "Azhou, I am to you..."

The sleepy Xia Haizhou yawned at this moment, but he opened his mouth too wide, suddenly choked in a mouthful of dust, and coughed with an itchy throat.

Zheng Ran couldn't continue talking, so he hurriedly rubbed his back.

"Cough, cough, huh? What are you talking about?" Xia Haizhou asked after coughing.

Zheng Ran sighed secretly, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just want to say that someone outside seems to be calling us."

"yes?!"

Xia Haizhou jumped down to the ground very nimbly, and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a faint cry.
