The master looked completely like a patriarch, serious and rigid, which was very inconsistent with his bright and moving face.
But I just couldn't find the words to refute, because everything he said was right.
"I see."
Sister Hu Ming turned into a human body, got a packing box from somewhere, and put Master's portion of chicken in it: "Sir, it's done."
The master picked up the box and walked towards the balcony: "There are still official matters to be dealt with in the underworld. If you need anything, call me."
"good."
He jumped from the balcony...
Sister Hu Ming stood next to me and said in surprise: "Nuan Nuan, do you think it's strange?"
"ah?"
"Master Lu usually doesn't eat vulgar food, even the less qualified devils. This time he actually took away the chicken you made."
"Then I am his apprentice. I can always eat the food made by my apprentice, right?"
Sister Hu Ming curled her lips and shook her head: "Not necessarily. If he wants to eat, he can eat it here. What's the point of packing it away?"
Makes sense!! So... "Take it back and give it to others to eat?"
We stared at each other for a long time, and finally felt bored and sat down to eat in peace.
Wong Tai Sin is not here, so there is not much time to relax at home.
After finishing her meal, Sister Hu Ming went back to the hall to practice.
I was bored by myself. After taking a shower, I lay on the bed and video-recorded with my second uncle, telling him about my marriage.
My second uncle gave me instructions again on what I could and couldn’t do, and I agreed for a long time.
"By the way, uncle, I saw a pair of barefoot monsters at the vegetable market in Nanjiang today."
The second uncle was drinking tea. He blew off the foam on the tea bowl, took a sip, and spat out the tea leaves. Then he was stunned for a moment: "Barefoot monster?"
The second uncle frowned, lowered his eyes and turned around several times, obviously thinking about something.
A bad premonition suddenly arose in my mind: "Second uncle, has something happened at home?"
The second uncle held the tea bowl with his left hand, and rubbed the edge of the tea cup with his right hand unconsciously, and said decisively: "No."
"!!!" The second uncle's appearance made it clear that he was lying!
I'm sure something happened at home, but what happened could make my second uncle lie and hide it from me?
It's obviously a big deal, otherwise the second uncle's character would not bother to lie, let alone to me!
I sat up excitedly, immediately hung up the video with my second uncle, and called Lulu. As soon as Lulu got through, the background was the crystal chandelier in the luxurious living room, and she and my second uncle were both in the living room.
I didn't say anything, and immediately hung up again, racing against time to record Fang Zhongyu's video. Fang Zhongyu's face with the mask on was immediately in front of the camera: "Nuan Ting, look at how good my mask is..."
"Fang Zhongyu! What happened at home?"
"ah?"
"Say it!"
"Oh, the house was stolen."
"What was lost?"
"It seems like the pair of barefoot monsters..."
Before Fang Zhongyu could finish his words, his second uncle and Lulu had already rushed towards the door behind him.
"Xiaoyu! Nuanting called you, don't tell..." The second uncle's words were stuck in his throat, and his eyes were looking straight at the screen, with fear in his eyes!
Fang Zhongyu looked at the screen, then looked back at his second uncle, his big ignorant eyes blinking.
Lulu walked in with a smile on her face and walked out holding Fang Zhongyu's fiery red hair.
"Ahhhhh! Help!! What did I do wrong again?"
The picture on the screen changed from Fang Zhongyu's big face to the ceiling. It should be that the mobile phone was thrown on the bed.
My mind went blank for a moment. It was just that the barefoot spirit was stolen. Why should it be hidden from me?
Moreover, the pair of bare-footed monsters had been affixed with talismans by the second uncle for twelve years, and their Taoism had long since disappeared, so what was there to worry about?
The second uncle sighed from the opposite side, and then the screen rotated, and the second uncle's face appeared on the screen.
The second uncle's expression was a little helpless and sad... Why, I just came to Nanjiang City for two days, but I feel that the second uncle has changed?
Not only the second uncle, but also Lulu helped the second uncle.
"Second uncle..." My voice was a little dry, and I didn't know where to ask. What I wanted to ask was not only about the barefoot monsters, but also why they hid it from me.
The second uncle moved his eyes away guiltily, put his cell phone on the bedside table, lit a cigarette, and took a heavy drag.
"Girl Yun, the second uncle didn't mean to hide it from you. Originally, the second uncle also planned to tell you, but the person who stole the barefoot spirit... may be an acquaintance of the second uncle."
"Since we are acquaintances, why don't we just come back?"
The second uncle shook his head, and his tone was indescribably sad, accompanied by the sound of electricity rushing into my ears: "We haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and the second uncle is not sure if it is her."
My heart skipped a beat.
The second uncle swallowed another mouthful of smoke and blew it out. Behind the smoke, his white and fat face seemed to be lost in memories.
I have a hunch that this acquaintance may have a deep connection with my second uncle.
"Second uncle originally wanted to tell you, but since you have already established a relationship with Judge Lu, I can't let you know it yet."
"No, second uncle, what does this have to do with my master?"
"Because Second Uncle is afraid. In the judge's life and death book, everyone's deeds are recorded in the book. If it is really her, then if Judge Lu knows about it, she will... Yun Yatou, don't ask, Er.
My second uncle is asking you to handle this matter by yourself."
I looked at my second uncle with a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes on the screen, and my nose suddenly became sore.
My second uncle raised Lulu and us together as mother and father, and now he speaks to me in such an almost pleading tone that I feel like crying.
My second uncle hung up the video and I called again, but he didn’t answer the call anyway.
I jumped out of bed and walked around the living room with my hands behind my back, feeling anxious and bored.
Second uncle's acquaintance...who is she?
Is she that important to my second uncle?
The second uncle is a righteous person, even when he is not sure whether the other party is her, he still breaks his principles. Thinking about it this way, that should be quite important, right?
But since it’s so important, why haven’t I seen this person in the eighteen years I’ve known my second uncle?
If I think about it carefully, my second uncle's attitudes towards the people around him are pretty much the same, so if I exclude people I know... then they can only be people I knew before my second uncle came to Songcun.
But what is their relationship that can make my second uncle never forget it for nearly twenty years?
The most important thing is that my second uncle didn’t tell me the truth. I was really worried!!
I thought for a while and made a video call to Aunt Duan. It was now around ten o'clock in the evening. Normally at this time, Aunt Duan would have already started to have her beauty sleep.
I didn't expect Aunt Duan to pick up the call, but to my surprise, Aunt Duan did.
Aunt Duan was lying on the bed wearing a maroon silk nightgown. Her eyes were as red and swollen as rabbits. She looked like she had cried. She was a little surprised: "Hey, why did Nuan Ting call Auntie? I told your second uncle the good news.
No? I heard Song Liang call your second uncle today and tell him that you have established a court?"
"Well." I was silent and stared at Aunt Duan's red and swollen eyes, "Aunt Duan, do you know who stole the barefoot spirit from my second uncle's place?"
