Chapter 2 Three years of reincarnation

Walking from North Street to Starbucks downstairs in Kaiyuan is far faster than taking the subway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoI don't like coffee, but since I'm here, I'm still here, and everything tastes the same, and I sit in this window position so that she can see me and find her. However, it's been 2 hours, and there is no one to talk to me except for the deaf-mute donation.

It's not quiet in the café, there are children crying, and there are couples whispering. The air is filled with a strong sweet and greasy taste of coffee, which does not inhibit its volatilization by turning on too low the air conditioning.

I looked at the picture in my hand, and I had actually seen it many times. Even the voices and smiles of the people inside seemed to be engraved in my mind. That's not familiar anymore. I'm well aware. Some things, if you come into contact with them too much, will be like maggots on the tarsal bones, deeply integrated into the bones and blood. Fingers ran over the man's face. The photos are not very clear, and I don't like the feeling.

Where are you? I should, yes can find you. Leave no clues...... I'm looking so hard. You and him, you are all the same. I always walk away by myself, and then leave me alone to chase after me. Actually, I've never been very good at sports. You can, go slower, slower.

rubbing back and forth, on the photo, only his face became more and more blurred.

Two and a half years. What I lost, I will definitely get back, is a promise to myself.

Someone sat across from me, the graceful figure with the smell of Shanghainese woman alabaster had a different feeling separating her from this ordinary café, a somewhat out of place abrupt feeling, probably she was enjoying it. If the other girls sit opposite, they shouldn't be too comfortable, even if they don't feel inferior. is such a delicate and charming person, this contrast is maddening. But I don't care anymore. Just like now, I shave my short hair at the hair salon at the entrance of the community for 3 yuan a time, and I have short sleeves, denim and sneakers. The only thing worth it on the whole body is the green wrench on the neck, but with such an outfit, it will only make people think that it is just a fake, and there is no taste. Unconsciously shook the wrench with his hand.

I don't like to wait for people. If it had been two and a half years ago, I might have been impatient, or I might not have sat there for so long. But these days, waiting two hours is nothing. No matter how long it takes, it will be a long time coming. There are very few people who can provide me with valuable information.

"Good wrench."

"Thank you." I was visibly nervous, my fingers shaking the coffee cup.

She didn't say anything, I didn't ask, and gradually, I stopped being nervous. After a while, she probably felt like she could get into the conversation......

"The young man inside is my uncle. The person you are looking for should be him! ”

yes, I want to find him. I remember that he gave me one of the few smiles I never recognized. I thought he was him, but he wasn't. I thought he was him, but he wasn't him. I always admit my mistakes, and in the future, I still want to admit my mistakes, at least, it means that I have found him.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know."

I raised my eyes.

"I only know the approximate location, you go to look for it, there will definitely be clues."

"I want to know, his name." Finally, finally had the opportunity to ask, I want to know your name, why can't you tell me, I won't say it, I just want to know, that's all. "You know that, right! He's your uncle, I'm just ......" My speed of speech became faster, and I forced myself to restrain myself.

"I'm sorry." The thing in her gaze is sympathy. Some self-deprecation, yes, I also think I live a humble life, but what is that, self-esteem can be exchanged for him? Hehe...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

She put down the cup in her hand and turned to take the business card from her bag. The style and the light sandalwood attached to it...... I reached out, retracted, and rubbed against my pants. She just smiled a little and put it in front of me.

It is a very simple name and address, no header, no phone.

"Fucha Dong Jiu? Manchu aristocracy? "Fucha, such a noble surname, one of the eight major surnames in Manchuria, I still know that the three flags are inlaid with yellow flags, and the Fucha clan of the Qing Dynasty was the queen, which is the same as those famous ministers, and there are not a few. Looking further down, it's the address, I haven't been to the capital, I don't know. "What should I call him?"

"Let's call Dong Ah Gong, I think, you can call him that now. Insiders call him Dong Jiuye, that's business, just like Fu Gui is called Gui's second master. Of course, they are different in generation, and when they see the ninth master, his second master also has to call himself 'little rich and noble'. While speaking, he probably thought of the embarrassment that the second master would have in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "You, don't be too angry when you see Dong Agong, he has a kind temperament, no better than the old lady of the Mu family, a dignitary from a big family, he has a temper and an aura, but he has also reached the stage of sending and receiving freely, and the sword is hidden." Call him Grandpa, and then ask me about my uncle, and he will know, that old man, shrewd...... Okay, that's all I have to say, to go or not to look at yourself. You have my contact details. ”

"No." I looked at the business card in my hand indifferently. Smelling the sandalwood, I was a little intoxicated. Faintly audible, his voice ......

The first time I came to Beijing, I didn't bring any luggage, and in my waist bag, in addition to money and cards, all I had left was the business card full of sandalwood. Standing at the exit of the T2 terminal of the Capital Airport, waiting for a person...... A person I haven't seen for a long time, but I definitely won't be born.

"Fatty."

"Feizi."

"Long time no see."

……

The fat man was driving, and I sat in the back seat, and I could see her gaze in the rearview mirror sweeping backwards from time to time. By the way, I'll laugh a little, and she looks away. The atmosphere was heavy, and I didn't want to open the topic. I really don't have much to say to her.

"Did you come to Beijing for something? How can I help you? She spoke first.

“…… I came to him, can you help me? "My tone was not good, even faintly mocking.

"You came to the capital to find him? He's over here? At the time, I didn't hear the slight panic in her tone. I was just a little surprised by her reaction.

"What's so strange about that. Some people said that Dong Jiuye might know, so I came to ask. ”

"Yes." Her tone returned to calm. Again, I still haven't noticed these details. It wasn't until later that I realized what I had missed.

"Do you know how to meet Dong Jiuye?"

"There's a business card with an address on it." She parked her car on the side of the road and took the business card from me.

"You can't get into that place. Not to mention meeting the old man. In this way, you go to the glass factory with me, there is an acquaintance there who has a way, maybe it can be done. ”

"Good. You arrange it. I nodded. In Beijing, she knows her better than I do, and there's no reason why she shouldn't listen to her.

“…… Feizi, I beg you, don't talk to me in this tone, okay? I...... I know I'm wrong, but...... Never mind...... Whatever you want. ”

I didn't answer, some things, done, wrong, can't change anything. Back then, everyone roamed in this red dust, life and death followed, and that kind of trust of exchanging lives for lives, even if it was a difficult situation, would not make people despair, but would only be full of motivation. Fatty, you ruined it all with your own hands. I don't blame you, because I'm also at fault, and the fault is in the trust in you and the misunderstanding of him. In that case, I don't want to hate anyone, I just want to find them back and see them alive and well.

I looked at the copper coin-sized red marks in the palm of my hand, and I was running out of time.

Beijing Liulichang and Xi'an's academy gate is not much different, in terms of antique calligraphy and painting, here compared to Panjiayuan is not much more reckless. Longbao Xingzhai of Liulichang was founded in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years. According to legend, the founder's name is Xie Jiang, and he is a scholar. After repeatedly failing the exam in Beijing, I remembered the laborious scene of studying ink in the examination room, and thought about whether I could use ready-made ink to avoid the pain of ink grinding. Therefore, he developed a kind of ink and opened a shop specializing in ink in Liuli Factory, which was very popular with customers and business was prosperous. So he wrote a couplet: "The treasure is enough for the world; Xinglong is more than a book from ancient times". The shopkeeper also wrote a plaque in front of the door.

The car couldn't get in, so I followed the fat man around twice and entered the gate of Longbao Xingzhai. This is no longer the small factory that sold ink in the past, the 3-storey attic is antique, the first floor of the hall is a small bridge and flowing water, the second floor of the tea pavilion is used to appreciate the book, and the third floor is separated by a private room for business. The fat man and I went straight to the third floor to see that it was indeed a little girl.

The girl sat strangely on the side of the dragon table, the little hammer didn't know what it was doing, and the two twisted braids were very special and extremely exquisite. "Miss Huan'er, I'm sorry to ask to see the Ninth Master." The fat man said as he handed the woman the business card to me.

"When can you let people in in the private room of Longxing Bao Zhai casually." The little girl continued to toss without raising her head.

"That's not true, I have a good relationship with the boss here, please don't blame it."

"Who wants to see my grandfather?"

"It's me." I dodged the fat man's arm and stepped forward. sat in the empty seat next to the coiled dragon. "If you want to ask about the whereabouts of a person, probably Dong Ah Guild knows."

After listening to me, the little girl suddenly stopped what she was doing. He dragged a stool and sat down in front of me. looked at my face and said, "Your name is Grandpa Tai?" I haven't seen you, you call him Ah Gong...... Then I should know you, right? Who is it? …… I know! I should call you Auntie. She took my hand and suddenly smiled sweetly. The fat man was also surprised, obviously frightened by this cousin.

"Big cousin let you come! I gave her this business card. Ay...... Actually, I asked my grandfather later, but he didn't know. Don't look for him, it's just a trip for nothing. Come on, I'll show you something. As she spoke, she brought me what she had been pouring back and forth with a hammer.

"Cousin, let me tell you, this thing is amazing, I stole it from my grandfather, it's called 'Wangxiangtai', you know what it's used for when you hear the name. Come, give me your hand. "She swiped my finger with a knife on her side, dripping blood into the scraps of the 'Wangxiang Terrace'." All right. Then he stumbled for a moment.

"What's the use of this thing?" The fat man also leaned over, looked at the broken piece and asked.

"Uncle Cousin, that person is a man who walks three steps and looks at four steps. It's unusual, but when I was a child, I learned some strange things with that group of cow noses. I dare say he wouldn't fail to plan for himself. You see, since the accident, hasn't there been nothing? I haven't heard of any mess either. So, there must be some detail you're missing. After a while, you go back, swallow this 'lookout platform' and water, and then hang glucose to ensure the body's function. You probably sleep longer than usual. You'll recall what you want to recall, and maybe you'll find some clues. ”

"Do you really want to try? It's something to eat. Feizi, think about it. ”

"I don't have a choice." Sitting quietly on the bed in the hotel, holding a bottle of mineral water, "If you don't wake up for two days, send me to the hospital." Don't wake me up, I might have slept longer. 'Wangxiangtai', what a good name, maybe really useful. You know, I'm not going to pass up any chances. ”

Without hesitation, and swallowed the water, lying flat on the bed.

"It's good to see you again!" I thought silently in my heart, glad that these days, because of insomnia, it is difficult to dream of him anymore......

I could feel my consciousness blurring, feeling like I was forgetting something, remembering something.

…… The effect of the medicine is really fast......
