I thought silently to myself and said nothing for the time being. I have to admit that Uncle Lai is indeed like a fox. At least he understands me very well. Although I don't speak, he seems to be able to guess my thoughts.
"Child, it's not safe, so give up your thoughts." Uncle Lai's tone returned to calmness and gentleness, and he patted me on the shoulder: "If there were no unpredictable factors in this matter, your father would not hide it from me.
So many times, he left on his own without telling me his whereabouts, just because he didn’t want to drag me into it.”
Uncle Lai's eyes were full of kindness, but when I looked at him and said these words, I immediately understood his intention of taking me to the basement. He was indeed scaring me. He could guess that after I heard the truth
Something would definitely be done, so I was given a subtle warning in advance that this was unsafe and could not be done.
"Uncle Lai, it's what you said. The ghost curse cannot be eradicated. If we don't find a complete solution, it will kill him sooner or later. I don't want Zhang Qiao to have an accident because of this. Even if it takes ten or eight years, I hear
I will be very sad when I hear the news about his accident." I explained my opinions to Uncle Lai and told him clearly that even if he did not deliberately search for my father, Zhang Qiao's matter could not be left behind.
"You only think about these, but have you ever thought about it? What if you really go there? There are dangers and accidents that you can't deal with."
"So, Uncle Lai needs your help for all this." I squinted my eyes and smiled. I understood that Zhang Qiao and I probably wouldn't be able to accomplish much, and Uncle Lai probably wouldn't just watch me. After all,
His relationship with my dad has lasted for so many years.
Uncle Lai sighed and glanced at me helplessly, probably knowing that he could not dissuade me, so he stopped talking. He finally smoked a cigarette and thought while smoking. When he finished smoking, Uncle Lai stood up and said to me:
"Wait for two days and make some preparations."
Uncle Lai agreed so readily, which really surprised me. I originally planned to spend a few days with him. The two of us returned to the small house from the fish pond. The smell of fish filled the room, and Zhang Qiao was too big
I was so frightened that a few hours ago I was scared and pale, but now I was in the mood to make fish soup with Taoist Qiu.
"Stop drinking." I grabbed Zhang Qiao, dragged him outside, and warned him in a low voice. Zhang Qiao was indeed panicked before the accident in his eyes was completely resolved.
While Zhang Qiao and I were talking quietly, Uncle Lai and Taoist Qiu were also busy muttering together, but I didn't go and eavesdrop. That night, we stayed at Taoist Qiu's place for the night and returned to the city the next day.
Uncle Lai told me not to go home for the time being, but to stay in the hotel.
Actually, I don't have much doubt about Uncle Lai. He couldn't have any malicious intentions. At most, he was hiding something from me. But after listening to these words, I realized that this matter is exactly what I thought. He will come back sooner or later.
If you cannot avoid something happening, you must make all the corresponding preparations in advance. Uncle Lai must have smelled something, otherwise he would not hide in the hotel and work.
"Stay here first." Uncle Lai seemed to be getting ready to go out, but there were a lot of messy things in the room. Even though he had organized them, they were still piled up in big piles. He frowned secretly as he looked at these things. He definitely couldn't take them with him.
Leave, he knows that once he leaves, I will never be so honest.
I immediately promised not to mess with Uncle Lai's things. Uncle Lai had no choice but to shake his head and go out. I quietly watched Uncle Lai leave from upstairs and immediately started to look through these things.
There are a lot of things, and most of them are written materials. These materials have been carefully organized and classified, and the amount of information is quite large. However, just because the amount of information is too large and complicated, it is difficult for people to understand. What are the people who collect the information looking for?
information.
"Maybe it's all the information that Uncle Lai collected for my dad?" I opened the information that had been carefully cut and sorted, and browsed through them one by one. The content was boring, mostly dogmatic numbers.
I felt dizzy. But I didn’t know when Uncle Lai would come back. I didn’t have much time, so I kept flipping through it, hoping to find something useful to me.
I flipped through the pages of the book. I didn’t know which book I had turned to, but my eyes stopped on a few pictures. The pictures were hand-drawn, simple and rough, and the contents of the pictures were all composed of black dots.
, this kind of abstract picture will be difficult to understand in a short time without someone’s guidance.
Uncle Lai has never given me any advice, but when I look at one of the pictures, I always feel something familiar. Dense black dots form lines, and the lines are zigzag and disorderly, which looks very messy. But
These zigzag lines always seemed familiar to me. I pinched the picture in my hand and tried to recall it.
I definitely have an impression of this, but I can't remember exactly when I saw it. The memory is too huge. It may be difficult to find an already vague fragment in my memory. I thought about it for a long time, and I always thought
Can't get up.
I guessed that Uncle Lai might be back soon, so I hurriedly rummaged through the remaining things, and then tried my best to put everything back into place. But I waited for several more hours, until my eyes fell into the night.
When I almost couldn't open my eyes, Uncle Lai appeared. He didn't appear alone, there was another person behind him.
Seeing the people Uncle Lai brought back, Zhang Qiao and I's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a girl who is a little younger than me. She is very delicate, very white, has short hair, is not tall, and wears a very slim sportswear. When she saw me and Zhang Qiao, her eyes were a little
Erotic, maybe not used to being stared at by two strange men, he stepped slightly behind Uncle Lai, then lowered his head, deliberately avoiding our eyes. This slightly shy expression was like a green apple.
I like the taste.
"Hello..." Zhang Qiao was so happy that he forgot all about what happened to him and started chatting with others with a grin on his face. I feel that sooner or later in my life, I will die at the hands of a woman.
"Be serious, don't laugh!" I scolded Zhang Qiao. When I turned around, my expression completely changed. I winked at Uncle Lai and said, "Who is this?"
"My sister's children..."
"Niece?" I hesitated for a moment, and the love for green apples in my heart was instantly overshadowed by another emotion: "Uncle Lai, why did you bring a girl back? How can she help?"
Uncle Lai frowned, looked at me, and then at the niece behind him, but said nothing. The girl also frowned, raised her eyes and glared at me.
"What's wrong? What did I say wrong?" I was a little confused.
At this time, the girl suddenly came up from behind Uncle Lai and stretched out a hand towards me, apparently wanting to shake my hand. I was a little dizzy and even more confused, so I extended my hand in confusion.
Her hand was warm and soft, but before I could think any further, my whole arm was suddenly twisted in a circle. The other person's force was very skillful and she held it just right. Before I could react,
When he did, his body shook, he was thrown almost somersaulting in the air, and fell heavily to the ground. A bright starry sky suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Zhang Qiao quickly pulled me up. I shook my head and had a new impression of the fair-skinned and delicate girl in front of me.
"If you hadn't seen that you were a girl, I would have beaten you." I refused to give in, but I was already a little frightened in my heart. This girl must have practiced. I have learned a few tricks from my dad, and ordinary people of the same tonnage
No one can defeat me. Thinking about it, I shook my head and subconsciously took a step back, trying to keep a certain distance from her.
"Then you beat him." Uncle Lai gently sat down on the sofa. He didn't seem to notice that I was thrown so hard. He glanced at me and said, "He is my nephew, boy."
Zhang Qiao and I were speechless for a moment. We looked at each other and then turned our attention to Uncle Lai's "niece".
"Are you kidding! A man?" Zhang Qiao seemed to be unable to accept it.
"My name is Chen Xiaoning, and I am a man." This "niece" whose gender I couldn't tell moved her wrist, looked at me and said, "You just said, come and beat me."
"Please pay attention to the wording I just said. I just said what if, but don't think that I dare not beat you." I ran around in a circle and ran to Uncle Lai, with my back to my "niece", and asked in a low voice: "
Are you really a man? Why do you look so girly?"
"I won't explain this question. You will be in contact with me in the future, so you can experience it yourself." Uncle Lai took a sip of tea and said to me: "I have some urgent matters during this period and I really can't get away. What's going on over there on the Kongque River?"
It’s okay, Xiaoning will accompany you, everything you need is almost ready, you can set off at any time if you want.”
