How could Uncle Lai appear here at this time? My sleepiness, which was not much to begin with, disappeared in an instant, and I woke up immediately. I turned over and sat up. This was not a dream or a hallucination, Uncle Lai was standing beside my bed.
"Little boy." Uncle Lai slowly took a chair from behind, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at me. His expression was a little sad, but more of a relief. Perhaps seeing that everything was fine with me, he felt a stone in his heart.
Finally he let it go: "You have suffered a lot during these days."
"Uncle Lai, why are you here?" I have been locked up in a strange place for so long, and I have experienced loneliness and loneliness. The moment I saw Uncle Lai, I felt a sense of dependence in my heart. But then I thought about it.
, I felt scared, was Uncle Lai really caught by Jin Ping Mei? Was he also imprisoned here like me?
"Little boy, I'm fine, don't worry." Uncle Lai patted me to reassure me: "I came here to tell you something."
Uncle Lai had actually arrived at Jin Ping Mei's territory a few days earlier. When Huang Laoyi returned defeated, Uncle Lai probably felt that he couldn't defeat Jin Ping Mei with this method. He hesitated again and again, and finally took the initiative to find Jin Ping Mei. Between the two of them,
Some issues between us have been put on the table, so we started talking immediately after meeting. Because I was in Jin Pingmei's hands, and Uncle Lai wanted to get me out, so Jin Pingmei undoubtedly took the initiative in this matter.
They talked for a long time and reached some agreements. Before Uncle Lai saw me, he had brought Jin Ping Mei to Taoist Qiu to temporarily suppress the ghost curse.
"This person is really bullshit!" I looked at Uncle Lai's expression and knew that he must have been forced to make a lot of compromises. Jin Pingmei was giving Uncle Lai a hard time. In fact, I didn't have much dissatisfaction with Jin Pingmei because there was something about this man.
I was impressed, but when I saw Uncle Lai, I felt that Jin Ping Mei was too special.
After being alone for a long time, I realize how precious the few close people around me are.
"Do you know who he is?" Uncle Lai asked me.
"He's a bastard who lives on the streets."
"He is the son-in-law of a leading man." Uncle Lai continued to ask me: "Little boy, do you still remember that I once told you that I met a person on the train?"
"Is it him you met?"
"Yes, that's him." Uncle Lai smiled bitterly: "At that time, I just wanted to get some photos in his hand. I originally thought that we would not have any intersection with him again, but by some mistake, we met again, and still in this way.
A way to meet."
Before this incident happened, Uncle Lai’s stories to me were relatively general. Now that I have really come into contact with Jin Ping Mei, Uncle Lai said a little more. In fact, he didn’t know much about Jin Ping Mei and only had a one-time relationship with me. But according to what he said on the train at that time,
Judging from various details, Uncle Lai felt that Jin Pingmei must have just returned from Tibet. Therefore, Uncle Lai also believed that the photos in Jin Pingmei's hand were also taken somewhere in Tibet.
"Little boy, you have to be mentally prepared. This time, I may not be able to take you away." Uncle Lai's expression was full of apologies.
"Why?" My boss is reluctant. This kind of detention is not too long, but I have had enough. I don't want to stay here anymore.
"I reached an agreement with this person. You know, he was cursed by the ghost shadow. Taoist Qiu can only suppress it temporarily. He asked me to find a way to completely lift the curse." Uncle Lai said helplessly: "Until I find a way,
, you must remain in his hands.”
I fainted when I heard it. How to completely remove the curse? How long will it take to find it? If Uncle Lai never finds it, I will have to stay in this place forever?
"The solution is always what people think of. His current attitude is very resolute. No matter how much we discuss it, it will be useless. For now, I will do my best. Don't worry, little boy, stay here and he won't make things difficult for you. Wait until you have the opportunity later.
, I will still think of a way."
If under normal circumstances, I met Uncle Lai again, I would definitely have some questions to ask him, but now I'm not in the mood, I can't even get out, so what's the use of asking so many questions?
"Uncle Lai, I want to know." I hesitated for a while and then summoned up the courage to ask him about Xiaoning and Zhang Qiao. I had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but I was afraid that if I asked it, I would receive something I couldn't face.
and the accepted answer.
"They are all very good, you don't have to worry." Uncle Lai said, "Xiao Ning will be here too."
"Why did he come?"
"I feel uneasy leaving you alone here. It will be better if Xiaoning is with you."
I feel indescribably happy. This may be the only comforting news I heard in the worst situation.
Uncle Lai stayed for a while and was about to leave. The moment he turned around, I grabbed his sleeve, like a child who was about to be sent away from home, and refused to let go. Uncle Lai kept talking for a long time.
I also knew that it was useless even if I was reluctant to let go, so I got excited for a while and slowly let go of my hand. Uncle Lai smiled at me when he left, but I could feel the same in his smile.
There is helplessness and bitterness.
Uncle Lai left like this. On the day he left, I was still locked in the room. However, on the next day, my situation changed. My living location was changed from the basement to a room on the ground.
The conditions are much better. Not only does it have a TV, but it also has a computer, but there is no connection.
That afternoon, I was taken to Jin Ping Mei. When I stood in front of the door, I saw Xiaoning at a glance. I was very excited to see him here at this moment, but Xiaoning didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as me.
, he also looked at me and nodded.
In addition to Xiaoning and Jin Pingmei, the fat bald man was also there. After I came in, Jin Pingmei said to Xiaoning: "That's it for now. You go down and prepare. I will tell you the specific time."
Xiaoning didn't refute, stood up and left, passing me by, still not saying a word, acting as if she had a big problem with me. I was at my wits end, and kept looking at him until he walked out of the yard.
's back.
"Stop reading, sit down first and tell you something."
"What are you telling me? Just lock me up." I couldn't vent my frustration and helplessness, and I didn't dare to lose my temper at Jin Ping Mei. I could only mutter in a low voice to express my dissatisfaction.
"Why, you don't want to find your father anymore?" The ghostly shadow in Jin Pingmei's eyes was gone, and he showed a meaningful smile. The fat bald man next to him didn't say anything and drank by himself.
"Jin Ping Mei, what do you mean?"
I was so anxious that I blurted out the nickname I had given him. Jin Ping Mei was startled, but he quickly realized it. He didn't get angry, smiled, and asked me to sit across from him.
"I'm going out during this period, and I think I can take you with me. Although our purposes are different, our destinations should be similar." Jin Pingmei said to me slowly: "I want to find a way to completely lift the curse."
"What do you mean? Are you kidding!" I couldn't help but yelled at him: "Didn't you ask Uncle Lai to find it? You also took me hostage!"
"It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. This problem is related to my life. If I only let him find it alone, it is equivalent to putting my life in his hands." Jin Pingmei put away her smile and said to me seriously: "
Your life must be in your own hands, otherwise, you will end up very miserable."
Jin Pingmei might not be worried about Uncle Lai, or she might think it would be too slow for Uncle Lai to look for him alone. He was not joking, and his tone and look were serious.
"If you want to find your father, you may come with me. Of course, I won't force you. If you don't want to, you can stay here forever. You won't be short of food and drink."
I immediately didn't understand Jin Pingmei's intention, but I don't know why, but I always had a lingering feeling in my subconscious. I felt that although he imprisoned me, he would not harm me. Jin Pingmei is not the kind of person who harms others without benefiting himself.
I'm not very familiar with him, so my idea may be too arbitrary, but that's what I really think in my heart.
More importantly, I really want to find my dad. This is my ultimate goal and only goal.
"I want to save my life, and you want to find your father. We are going the same way, aren't we?"
"I'll go with you." I said with a bit of anger. In my opinion, even traveling across mountains and rivers is much better than being locked up in a birdcage-like room every day.
"Okay, forget our identities for the moment, and just treat yourself as comrades who come together for a goal." Jin Pingmei said to me: "Comrade, during the time you were here, something happened outside, and I have to tell you.
speak."
Something did happen outside, something I didn't expect.
