Chapter 26: Old Photos
The two hugged for a long time, and then slowly let go, they were partners who had played together since they were children in Mogu, and their relationship was better than that of brothers.
"Senior brother, you seem to have become a little more handsome again. Guan Xiaoqi held Liu Xuan's arms, looked up and down carefully, and said with a smile.
"Haha! I've been in the city for a long time, and I'll be able to dress up more or less, mainly because of my good foundation. Liu Xuan said cheekily.
"By the way, Senior Brother, this is something that Master entrusted me to give you. As if he suddenly remembered something important, Xiao Qi hurriedly took out a box from his arms and planned to hand it over to Liu Xuan.
"Don't worry, let's go back to my place first. Liu Xuan vigilantly observed left and right, then pulled Xiao Qi into the company and walked towards the dormitory.
"Senior brother, are you working here?" Guan Xiaoqi asked curiously as he looked at the surrounding situation.
"Yes, that's what Master meant, otherwise I wouldn't be able to look down on such a small place!" Liu Xuan said.
"Master must have his deep meaning in doing this, Senior Brother, you have to slowly understand it!" Xiao Qi said with a smile.
Liu Xuan smiled when he heard this, in fact, he had already guessed a rough idea, the master must know the identity of Shangguan Jinyue, so he was assigned the task of coming here, I am afraid that even the master does not know now, he will find out the secret of Shangguan Jinyue so quickly.
After arriving at the dormitory, Liu Xuan let Guan Xiaoqi into the room, and then locked the door.
"Xiao Qi, what did Master ask you to bring me?" Liu Xuan asked straight to the point, what he was most eager to know now was his life experience.
"Master asked me to tell you, you don't need to rush back now, if you want to know something, you can investigate it yourself!" Xiao Qi sat on the head of the bed and said.
"What! Didn't he say that he would tell me about my background as soon as I completed this mission? Liu Xuan said with some eagerness when he heard this.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me anything else, but Master has always done things strangely, maybe he just wants to use this condition to trick you into coming here!" Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"This old fellow is getting more and more cunning. Liu Xuan couldn't help but complain.
"Senior brother, how can you say that, Master!" Guan Xiaoqi said with a dark face when he heard this.
"Hehe, just kidding, by the way, what's in that box?" asked Liu Xuanfu with a smile.
"This is what Master entrusted me to give you, saying that it was something you had stored with him before, and the reward for this mission, you can open it yourself and see it!" With that, Xiao Qi handed over the small box to Liu Xuan's hands.
Liu Xuan took it and quickly opened the box to check, and found that in addition to a black card, there was also a photo that was already a little blurred due to yellowing, Liu Xuan carefully turned over the box and checked it again, and found nothing else.
"There's just a card and a photo in it?" asked Liu Xuan reluctantly.
"I haven't seen it either, Master said that the card is your commission for doing tasks over the years, and as for the photo, it is related to your life experience, let you uncover the answer yourself. Xiao Qi said.
Hearing this, Liu Xuan immediately took the old photo in his hand and carefully observed it, although the photo looked a little old and blurry, but it was vaguely recognizable that there were two children, a man and a woman, standing on it, a little girl with pigtails with a smile on her face, leaning on the shoulder of the little boy next to her, and the little boy was a little shy to hide to the side.
"Who do you think the two people in this photo are?" Liu Xuan looked at it for a long time, then handed the photo to Xiao Qi's hand and asked.
Xiao Qi picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, and looked up at Liu Xuan next to him from time to time.
"Senior brother, this little boy should be you! You see that the eyebrows are exactly the same as you!" Xiao Qi thought for a while and said.
"Impossible! How could this little boy be me like this! There are girls who throw themselves into their arms and hide to the side, which is not my style at all!" Liu Xuan said with a straight head.
"Haha! People change, not to mention that you were young at the time. Xiao Qi said with a smile.
Liu Xuan took the photo and looked at it carefully, although he didn't want to admit it, but between the eyebrows of the child, he did see a little bit of his own shadow, but he didn't have any impression of the little girl next to him, all the memories in his mind stayed in the bits and pieces of Mogu, and he couldn't remember anything further back at all.
"This little girl next to me looks very cute! Master should give you this photo so that you can find the little girl on it! As long as you find her, you should be able to solve the mystery of your background, but unfortunately I didn't even have a photo left when I was a child, even if I want to know my own background, I have no clue. Xiao Qi said with some depression.
"Don't be sad, it's man-made, even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter, you still have Master and our group of senior brothers. Liu Xuan patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and comforted.
"Well, I know, by the way, Senior Brother! Before I left Mogu, my little sister secretly gave me something and asked me to pass it on to you, and asked me to ask you when you would go back, and bring her out to see the world, she was about to die of boredom in the valley. Xiao Qi suddenly remembered this and immediately told Liu Xuan.
"How is Ling'er's health now, and do you take medicine every day!" Liu Xuan asked with concern.
Xiao Qi sighed when he heard this, with a worried look on his face.
"It's still the same, I have to drink a specially made decoction every day, and I look lively on weekdays, but when the weather changes, I get sick. Xiao Qi said.
"Now that medicine is so advanced outside, any disease can be treated, why does the master insist on refusing to bring the little junior sister out for treatment!
"I didn't understand it at first, but then I heard that the little junior sister's illness could not leave Mogu, and once she left Mogu, even if she drank medicine, she could not continue to save her life. Stingy explained.
Liu Xuan frowned when he heard this, he had been wandering outside for so many years, and he had never heard of such a strange disease.
"You go back and tell Ling'er not to worry, I will definitely find a way to cure her illness, and then take her to enjoy the outside world. Liu Xuan said with a solemn face, he knew that the little junior sister was so eager to let him go back, it was nothing more than worrying about his own condition, afraid that he would never see him again.
"Here, this is the bell that the little junior sister gave you, saying that you should wear it on your body, and take it out when you have nothing to do, don't forget her. Xiao Qi took out a small bell from his body and handed it to Liu Xuan's hand.
Liu Xuan held the bell in front of him, only to feel a sour nose, which he made with his own hands when he was a child and gave it to his little junior sister.
"Senior brother, the matter is settled, and it is time for me to go back and report to the master. With that, Guan Xiaoqi stood up from the head of the bed and was about to leave.
"Xiao Qi, you finally came out for a trip, stay and play for a few more days! Tomorrow I will take you to visit all the delicious and fun places in Zhongzhou." Liu Xuan said to stay.
"I also want to stay and have a good time with you for a few days, but you also know Master's temper, it will be miserable if I go back late, and Master has recently taken on a big task, I must go back quickly, so as not to delay the big event. Xiao Qi said.
Liu Xuan nodded when he heard this, and he didn't force him to stay anymore, but just followed Xiao Qi until he was sent to the door of the company.
"Xiao Qi, pay attention to safety on the road, if there is anything in Mogu, you must notify me as soon as possible. Liu Xuan advised.
"Well, I know, there have been many changes in Mogu now, except for the old clothes, we are almost in line with the outside world now, even the master uses the phone, I will tell you his contact information, but he rarely uses it, whether you can get through depends on your luck. Xiao Qi took out his mobile phone and said.
"Great! Hurry up and save it for me!" Liu Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, he had persuaded Master to buy a mobile phone many times before, so that it was much easier to connect, but Master was very conservative and resolutely refused to listen to him, but he didn't expect that during this time he left, this old guy suddenly figured it out.
After having a phone, Liu Xuan's heart was much more steady, even if he couldn't find any results from the investigation, he could call the master directly and pester him to tell him the truth.
After leaving the number, Liu Xuan insisted on sending Guan Xiaoqi to the station, but Guan Xiaoqi politely declined, saying that it was already very late, let him go back to rest early, Liu Xuan didn't say anything more when he heard this, and after seeing Guan Xiaoqi get into a taxi and leave, he turned around and walked to the dormitory.
After walking for a while, there was a noisy sound of footsteps behind him.
"Captain, something happened, someone just sneaked into the president's office and turned it inside into a mess, and what's even more annoying is that the thief actually made a cup of tea on the table, which is simply provoking us!"
Hearing this, Liu Xuan slapped Kuroko's head.
"Who is a thief, what's wrong with provoking you? Who made your security work useless, hurry up and tidy up the office for Lao Tzu, otherwise when the president comes to work tomorrow, you will all wait to die!" Liu Xuan remembered what happened before, and couldn't help but get angry.
Heizi scratched his head inexplicably, not understanding why Liu Xuan didn't have the slightest hint of the thief in the company, but asked them to restore the scene, without any intention of calling the police or tracking, but he didn't dare to ask when he saw that Liu Xuan was angry, so he had to do as he was told.
After returning to the dormitory, Liu Xuan fell on the bed and picked up the photo for a while to observe carefully, wanting to find hidden clues, and then held the bell in front of him, falling into the good memories of the past, until his eyes were a little open, and then slowly fell asleep.
