The next day, I heard back from a secret email I sent to Hans after I got over the wall.

After opening an encrypted video file, Hans's big face with a full face appeared on the screen.

"Lao Xu, my brother, you finally asked me for help. I've drunk so much of you, and I've always wanted to repay you for this favor, hahaha!" I pouted, Hans was still so emotional.

"I miss the days with you infinitely, we drank together, fought, watched little movies together in the place where the bird at Chatail didn't lay eggs, it was the easiest day of my life. Oh, I still treasure all the classic little movies you gave me. I pouted again, apparently stealing my tablet while I was drunk, and embarrassed to say that I gave it to him.

"Stop talking nonsense, get down to business. Hans said with a haha.

"Queen Lancoco is very famous in Europe, she is the most famous modern Robin Hood who helps the weak and fights. Hans said.

It turns out that Lan Keke on the underworld has three rules for helping people do things, one is that he must not violate the norms of being a man, the second is that he must not violate his conscience, and the third is that he cannot disobey and change the great historical trajectory. These three points are known as the "Three Laws of Queen Lan Coco", so Lan Coco is also a person respected by the underworld all over the world, and is honored as the "Queen".

"There's no way to get in touch, if you want to ask her for help, you can only post on the Internet, or go to your Lancoco bar in the capital in person, but recently I heard that her bar is closed and people are missing, I don't know if it's a miss. If you have something, contact me, although I dare not say that I am absolutely sure, but there is a high probability that I can help you get it. ”

Turning off the video, I was silent for a long time.

For Wang Lan, Wang Keke, or the "Lan Keke" queen of the underworld, which one is you?

I stood up silently, walked to the window of the office, smoked a cigarette, looked at the setting sun in the distance, and said softly, "Where are you?" Since Wang Keke disappeared again, the relationship between Mi Min and me has briefly fallen into a delicate situation.

I understand that although she thinks she is generous and chivalrous "genius scientist" and martial arts hero, Mi Min is still a woman, so she still can't stand her husband's mental cheating, although this happened to Wang Keke, who was kind to her and me and Xiao Xuxu, and when she was trapped in a high-dimensional space.

However, with her informal personality, she put this matter behind her after Wang Keke disappeared again and had a cold war with me for a few days.

This morning, when I was exercising with her on the balcony, she suddenly said to me, "Why do you say the state would send an enforcer to protect you?"

I put down the dumbbell and said, "Probably because of my parents, who died when I was in kindergarten, and I don't know anything about them except for two martyr's certificates." My grandparents don't even have pictures of them, so it's really unclear. ”

She thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to do without photos, it should be restricted by confidentiality regulations, and I don't want you to see what they look like." ”

At breakfast, she said, "You said you grew up in your grandparents' house?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, my grandfather was a stereotypical veteran, and my grandmother was a housewife who spoiled me superly, and they passed away when I was in elementary school." I was raised by the village council. ”

She stopped her chopsticks, touched my face with her hand and said, "Xu Sansui, you are so pitiful." ”

I smiled and said, "What's so pitiful? I had very poor grades in middle school, I was sent to a university, I was given all kinds of preferential treatment, I was designated to join the student union, I joined the party in my junior year, and I should say that I was still taken care of by the state." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "You didn't think about going back to find clues? The suburbs of your 19th-tier small county town should not have been demolished yet." ”

I said, "I lived in that house from elementary school until I graduated from high school, and I knew every corner of the house without any clues. In the past, the village committee helped me fill in the information I needed, and even the political examination of graduation assignment was filled in by the village party secretary. ”

Speaking of which, I came back to my senses and said, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about my past?"

She smiled and said, "Isn't it like I haven't been in love with you, and now I have nothing to do, and this lesson still has to be made up." ”

I sneered and said, "Okay, what else do you want to know?" ”

But she said, "It's nothing." ”

When it was time for dinner, she said to me, "I think we should go back and go to your grandparents' graves." ”

I put down my chopsticks and said, "Don't go around, people are gone, why are you still looking for these?"

She smiled wryly and said, "You misunderstood me, I didn't mean to track her down, I just want to know about you, don't you disappear one day." ”

I got up and went to the balcony to smoke.

After a while, she ran to the balcony and said, "I didn't mean that, you know scientists are curious." ”

I looked at the setting sun outside the balcony, turned my head and said to her, "I really should go back to the grave of my grandparents." ”

I mentioned this idea at the family gathering on the weekend, and Xiao Xu said that it was not far away, so it was better to leave tomorrow so that I could rush back on Sunday night. Xiao Ling and Lao Fan also said that they could follow along to have fun, and watched Xiao Xu slowly recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

After dinner, Xiao Ling went to Lao Fan's house to chat as usual, and our family of three planned the itinerary at home.

After setting the itinerary, Miao Min and Xiao Xu began their routine cutting-edge technology discussion again, and this time I also participated in it, because they talked about Xiao Xu's coco mother again.

Here's how the conversation went.

Xiao Xu: "Mom, aren't you a god in the high-dimensional space? Why are you still so interested in Ke Ke Ma's experience in those ten years? Shouldn't you be able to see it all?"

Miao Min (white eyes): "That's lying to your dad (completely ignoring my feelings next to me), what kind of god! I'll float in this time and space for a while, and then in that time and space, who knows which time and space is which time and space." I started trying to index, but after marking thousands of planes, I gave up because I found that one marker had been broken by a kid, and I don't know how many marks I had made on the same plane. ”

Xiao Xu: "Then how did you project Coco's mother?"

Miao Min: "When I saw your father die, I went crazy at the time, and cast a shadow on Wang Keke in every parallel time and space I encountered, and in the end I almost lost the ability to repair the passage. Or why don't you think I don't know what your dad did to be sorry for me after he came back to life?"

I was in a cold sweat, and I couldn't help but think of the naked teasing I had with Wang Keke, Chen Cuihua, and maybe Tina, and the drunken trip with Hans to peek at the barmaid taking a shower.

Xiao Xu: "What does this mean? Is the parallel space-time seen by high-dimensional space-time disordered?Or is the parallel universe uncountable?"

Miao Min: "Your knowledge has been learned on your toes? There is no concept of high-dimensional space, time and space, you have to count how many parallel universes there are, and the only way to do this is to jump out of this universe!"

I interjected in time: "This is called only in this mountain, and the clouds are deep and do not know where." ”

The two of them gave me a roll of the eye together, and the conversation ended.

Xiao Xu pulled my clothes when he left, I immediately understood, told Miao Min to go down to check the condition of getting out of the car, and followed him downstairs.

Next to the car, Xiao Xu and I opened the hood to check the car, and said while looking: "Dad, I think my mother is lying again, she must know something." ”

I said, "I understand, Wang Keke's ten years may not have been very good. ”

Xiao Xu said: "You have to forgive Mom, if you know these things, Keke's mother will be more important in your heart." ”

I closed the hood and pulled out the cigarette, and the two of us stood next to the car and smoked silently.

I said, "Anyway, I'm most sorry for your mother." ”

Xiao Xu said: "But didn't she agree to be with you when you picked up Coco's mother out." ”

I smiled and said, "She should have guessed who the projection was for her, after all, she is also a time-traveling person." ”

Xiao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, Keke's mother is an excellent executor, and she is much better than me in this matter of keeping her mouth shut." ”

Back home, Miao Min was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine.

I sat next to her, lifted her legs up to mine, and massaged her calves.

She said leisurely, "Do you two think I'm lying to you?"

I smiled and said, "Let's go down and check the car." ”

"Recently I've found myself a little bit menopausal," she says. ”

I said, "You look exactly like when I first met you." ”

She laughed and said, "I really didn't lie to you this time, I was like an illiterate person who didn't know anything in the high-dimensional space, I didn't understand anything, I even thought I had arrived in the Heavenly Palace when I first went, and I didn't know how long it took to figure out some of the basic rules there." ”

I said, "You're so smart, how else you'd have found that passage?"

But she didn't answer me immediately, took a sip of wine from her glass, and said, "So I say that I suspect that there is a higher being guiding me, and that passage has suddenly appeared before me. ”

I patted her on the leg and said, "Okay, don't think about it, let's go to bed early, we'll have a long ride tomorrow." ”

After driving for nine hours in turns, our two cars, six people, finally arrived at my hometown, where I had lived for 18 years, Lingqian Village.

The village in front of him was hidden in a twilight, and a thin layer of green smoke drifted over the entire village. Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a woman is calling for a child who has returned late. All of a sudden, I thought I was back when I was a child, and the memories that had been erased came one after another. In a trance, the exhaustion on my body went to the clouds, this is my fairyland on earth, a paradise.

Lao Liu, the branch secretary of the village committee, was waiting for us to eat in the village committee, and when he saw me, he was not too excited, he just shook my hand, and said flatly: "It's good to come back, let's eat first, and I'll take you to see Lao Xu tomorrow morning." ”

At the dinner table, several old people from the village committee were very excited, and a few of them even wiped tears from their eyes.

I took Miao Min and Xiao Xu to toast them one by one, expressing my gratitude. Miao Min was happy, and he also made a decision to build a reservoir for the village.

After eating, Lao Liu took us to live in my old house, and he said as he walked with a flashlight: "You have not come back for so many years, but only send some money during the New Year's holidays, what do we want your money for? We raised you not for your money, we have children." First, we are to complete the tasks assigned by the state, and secondly, the village has received the kindness of your grandfather, and the people in our village are all benevolent and righteous, and your old house is maintained for you, and a lot of money is kept for you, just like your grandfather back then, at least there is a place to go back when there is trouble. ”

I said with a smile: "I haven't come back to see you for so many years, it's really wrong, it's not that I was transferred to Africa by the unit, I was only transferred back this year, so I hurried back to go to the grave of my grandparents." ”

Lao Liu nodded and said, "It's good to come back." ”

Walking to the door of the old house, Xiao Xu looked up at the lintel on the door, blue bricks and blue tiles, carved railings and jade masonry, and said in surprise: "Ah, Dad, we are still a big family." ”

Mi Min stabbed me and said to me with a smile: "It turns out that our family still has this family." ”

I ignored them, pushed open the door of the old house, and the gecko I drew when I was a child was still there, and wanted to beat me for this grandfather, but was beaten by my grandmother. I looked back at Mi Min, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to myself in my heart, it's normal to not be able to beat my wife, it's family inheritance.

There are three houses in the house, there are more than a dozen houses before and after, and they are very clean, and the two houses are made with beds, which should be ready in the afternoon.

I assigned them a room and went to the hall to chat with Lao Liu.

Lao Liu sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, there was a small red clay stove on the table, the sand jump on it was "ding ding ding" and bubbling white gas, a celadon full moon shaped tea tray was placed on a small Su jar, and there were three tea washes next to it.

Lao Liu took a celadon teacup, soaked it in the tea wash, and then put it in front of me, picked up the sand and jumped while pouring tea for me and said: "The cold night guest came to tea as wine, when your grandfather just came back, I came to see him, he used this tea set to make tea for me when he said this poem, I always remember." ”

I took a sip from the teacup, and the tea was pleasantly fragrant, penetrating my heart and spleen. After tasting the tea carefully, I smiled and said, "When I was a child, you often came to drink tea." ”

He nodded and said: "Your grandfather is a person who has seen the world, I just became a branch secretary at that time, and I came to ask him if I didn't understand anything, he has hills and valleys in his chest, but unfortunately he is not lucky, and he can only grow old in this small place." Later, he passed away, and whenever I encountered something difficult, I would come to your house to drink tea, and I would be in a good mood. ”

I put down the teacup and cautiously asked, "Do you have an impression of my parents?"

He thought for a while and said: "Your grandfather was only a teenager when he came out of the mountain, and he came back when he was old, and your grandmother only brought you back in a few years, I asked, and he said that your parents are busy with work, and your grandmother is too tired to take you alone, so it is better to come back." It wasn't until your grandparents died that the government entrusted you to Murakami according to your grandparents' will, that they all died for the country. Your family is a loyal martyr. ”

I nodded and said, "I'm very grateful to the village, this time Mi Min, that is, my wife said to build a reservoir for the village, so you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

Lao Liu laughed and said, "As you can see, the people in the village are used to using mountain spring water, and the reservoir water is stale water, and no one wants to drink it." Besides, the young people in the village have gone out to work, and there are only some women and children left, and the land is deserted, so there is little point in building a reservoir. ”

I said gloomily: "Okay, I'll pay for the old man's house in the village to be repaired, and I can express my heart." ”

Lao Liu thought for a while and said, "Okay, so that the old people who helped you before will also feel that you still think about them." I'm coming to call you tomorrow morning, and you're going to walk a little mountain road. At the end, he said, "Your wife is not as beautiful as the last time she brought Xiao Xu." ”

When I heard this, I stood up suddenly, held his hand and said, "What did you say? Someone brought Xiao Xu here before?

He was frightened by me, and said suspiciously: "You don't know? It's been seven or eight years since this happened, she said that her surname is Wang, she is your wife, and she also said that you are busy with work, and she took Xiao Xu to the grave of your grandparents." ”
