It's been a thousand years in the world Chapter 8 Gloomy Wood
Just as Xu Anguo was making tea, Qi An picked up the stack of paper and looked at it, the paper had turned yellow, and it looked like it had been some years.
Twisting the letter with his hand, feeling the passage of time on the paper, Qi An knew what it was. This is a record that I left before I fell asleep, recording those memories that I didn't want to forget.
Immortality is an ability that anyone can want, but longevity comes at a price. Those fading memories are one of the costs.
When Qi An realized that he was gaining knowledge of the new world, and at the same time, he would gradually lose some of his memories, so Qi An wrote down the memories.
At first, everything will be recorded, although it will take a lot of energy and time, but the last thing Qi An cares about is time.
Gradually, time made the memories that were once treasured no longer important, and the love for those people and things in life became indifferent, and Qi An only recorded some important things.
Thousands of years of memories eventually turned into a few yellowed squares. This stack of paper looks thick, but it is nothing compared to the time span of a thousand years.
Compared to this pile of old papers, Qi An was more curious about the box on the side, in his memory, he had never handed over such a box to the Xu family, how could it be put together with his memo?
Picking up the box, it felt a little heavy. The whole body of the box is jet black, the wood grain is delicate, and it is very bright. There are about two inkstones as big as they are put together, and the boxy ones are a little flat, and they are like jade when they are used. If it weren't for the roughness of this box that nephrite didn't have, Qi An would have thought it was made of a whole piece of black jade.
It seems to be gloomy wood, Qi An thought. But what is it used for?
Looking at Xu Anguo, Xu Anguo hurriedly explained, "It was passed down from my grandfather, kept by my father, and passed it on to me by the old man, and this box has always been empty. ”
"Grandpa instructed me to come down and say," said a little embarrassed, "but whenever anyone finds me, as long as he can make an incision, no matter who it is, no matter how young he is, he must be carefully served by the juniors." ”
"Then I will give this man both of these things that my Xu family keeps on his behalf, and do my best to meet any of his requests. ”
"My Xu family has very strict family rules, and my elders don't dare to disobey them, which is why I have always regarded myself as a junior in front of you. ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Anguo let out a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a burden, and stopped talking, just waiting to see if there was anything wrong with Qi An.
"Are you saying that these two things were entrusted to your Xu family for safekeeping and then handed over to me?" Noticing that Xu Anguo did not explain the reason for the box and paper separately in his words, Qi An asked, "These two things are one from the beginning?"
I don't know why Qi An asked the meaning of this question, Xu Anguo had no choice but to nod, "When my grandfather was entrusted by someone, these two were handed over to his old man together. ”
Sensing that something seemed to be wrong, Qi An didn't remember the box, nor did he have any memory of it. Since it was handed down by Xu Bangwei, then out of trust in him, he should not suspect that there was something wrong with the box, so was there something wrong with his memory? Did he really give this thing to Xu Bangwei, and then forgot it in a long sleep?
Giving up looking for clues from the blank memory, since he knew from Lao Xu that his grandfather was still very tough, Qi An decided to ask him directly face to face in the future.
Taking back his things, Qi An remembered his intentions, so he asked Xu Anguo: "Uncle Xu, Xiaoqing has already told you about my intentions today, right?"
Xu Anguo's brows furrowed when he heard this, Qi An actually wanted to be a cook. It's not that he looks down on chefs, it's just that the work of chefs is extremely tiring, and no matter how you look at Qi'an, he doesn't look like a person who can work.
"Is Xiaoqing ......," Xu Anguo asked tentatively.
Qi An shook his head, "It's just that I want to stretch my muscles and bones." ”
"Besides, it's not too embarrassing to let Xiaoqing stay alive. ”
After Xu Anguo said that it would be harmless to open a small restaurant if he found it interesting, the two agreed on the details and walked out of the study together. At this time, Xu Anguo also let go of the burden on his shoulders, and Qi An was a little less restrained.
Xu Wanqing in the living room was watching TV with Liang Zhen, watching the biography of Huan Huan. It seems that no matter how old a woman is, she will be obsessed with the drama of Gong Dou.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Xu Wanqing hurriedly got up from the posture of slumping on the sofa, and Liang Zhen also pressed the pause button and beckoned Qi An to sit down.
Qi An declined Liang Zhen's invitation to sit for a while longer, and was about to go back.
"I'll send you!" Xu Wanqing hurriedly said. Looking at Liang Zhen's expression of having a boyfriend and forgetting her mother, she explained, "Qi An lives quite far away, and it is not very convenient to take a taxi back." ”
remembered the death he made during the meal and Lao Xu's black face, and wanted to escape Lao Xu's lesson, so he took the initiative to send Qi An home when he was crazy.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Anguo heard this, he waved his hand, "Your car will be driven by Xiao Qi first." What does it look like to drive such a car all day long!"
This made Xu Wanqing both aggrieved and a little incredible, she didn't expect her father to be biased to such an extent. She looked at her father aggrievedly and said nothing.
Qi An hurriedly played a round, saying that he couldn't drive and didn't need Xu Wanqing's car, which made Xu Anguo, who also regretted his words, go down the stairs, and smile at Xu Wanqing before trying to soften his voice and say, "Xiaoqing, you go and send Qi An." ”
Xu Wanqing just put on her coat without saying a word, pushed open the door and motioned for Qi An to come out.
When the two of them sat in the car and fastened their seat belts, Qi An said: "Don't pretend, your goal has been achieved, and show me what to do." Xu Wanqing burst into tears and laughed.
Although she was a little sad at first, she knew that Lao Xu was such a macho old antique, so she no longer felt sad.
Xu Wanqing thought about it again, so that Lao Xu would no longer pursue the fault of kicking him at the dinner table. Sure enough, as soon as he saw his daughter crying, Lao Xu immediately panicked.
"Woman. Seeing that Xu Wanqing's expression changed rapidly, Qi An couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
Xu Wanqing just glanced at him disdainfully, and then drove on the road.
In the room, Liang Zhen was counting Xu Anguo: "You dead old man, why don't you say anything to save face for Xiaoqing in front of Xiao Qi." You always scold her, making Xiaoqing embarrassed in front of her boyfriend. ”
"By the way, tell me what Qi An's family does, and I can't ask too carefully when I come to the door for the first time. Don't you know him well, tell me about it quickly, and check our Xiaoqing. ”
Xu Anguo was helpless when asked, so he had to shake his hand: "Don't ask, Qi An and Xiaoqing can't make it!"
He thought to himself, how could this be done, these two people are two generations apart, and Qi An himself has to call him uncle in terms of seniority. He said that he was probably only talking about age when he talked about Xiaoqing's peers, and the gap in seniority couldn't be changed.
