DAY 71 Uncle's whereabouts

But just in case, it's best to make sure that Uncle and they are not buried under this huge "island" that has been smashed to pieces.

Having said that, with such a huge project, without any tools and detectors that can help us, it is up to me and my brother to find where and how to start.

"Sister, look there." The younger brother suddenly pointed to the center of the "island", which had now become a huge mound of earth.

I looked closely, and there was something white that was leaking out of a corner, and it looked familiar......

Yes! Isn't that the statue on the island?! Falling from such a high place didn't break?! Even if there is a buffer surrounded by clods of dirt, it's incredible, isn't it?

Before I could finish my exclamation, my younger brother suddenly said, "Sister, is this the statue of the uncle you said before?" Then do you think uncle, will they run back into this statue later? ”

"Huh?" I was blown away by this huge brain hole. The younger brother's expression became more and more affirmative: "You see that I haven't met my uncle and Dean Lu on it before, maybe they are really still on the island, if the island is about to collapse, they will definitely hide back in this statue at first." Sister, let's go see this statue. With that, he pulled me in the direction of the statue on the dirt slope.

But when we got to the statue and saw the panorama of the statue lying horizontally at the moment, we realized that this statue was really ...... It's not ordinary! Not only was it not shattered when it fell from such a high place, but there was not even a small broken mark on the whole body. This made me suddenly wonder: even if Uncle and they were really magically in here, would we have a way to open the statue and release them?

After all, even the forces of the earth can't turn it on......

And I have the impression that my uncle seems to have said that this statue cannot be opened from the outside......

Just when the atmosphere began to become a little silent, the statue actually moved on its own! It shook for a moment, and then rolled with its back to us with a "poof", and it was not slow.

My brother and I were so startled that we hurriedly chased after us, but there was a small slope of dirt in front of us, and the statue stopped halfway through the roll because of the lack of impact.

"Quick! Stop it! I pointed to the stopped statue and yelled at my brother, who was a fast runner, rushed over and sat on top of the statue to steady it, and then waved at me eagerly.

I ran as fast as I could, panting, and my freshly buried body could not withstand the exertion.

When I finally got in front of the statue again, I was surprised to find that the statue had changed shape a little after the roll it had just been.

Well...... If you insist on saying it, it seems to have flattened out......

I knocked on the statue vigorously and shouted at it, "Uncle, Dean Lu, I know you're inside, right?" There's no one else here, just me and my brother, you don't have to continue to hide inside, come out quickly! After speaking, he motioned for his younger brother to get up, so that his uncle could "open" the statue and appear.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened, and the statue, which had obviously become a little flattened, was still lying alone in front of us.

"They're not going to get knocked out in there when they just fell, are they?" The younger brother reasoned cautiously.

I shook my head: "Then how do you explain that it just moved?" And it's rolling so fast......"

The younger brother thought about it, knocked on the statue a few times, and shouted inside: "Uncle, if you don't come out again, I'll tell my sister why you haven't had a girlfriend for so many years!" ”

After waiting for a while, a muffled but extremely familiar voice sounded from inside: "...... Dead child, what about the secret between the two of us? I'll give you gag candy back......"

The younger brother evoked a triumphant smile and said with a slight belly: "Sister, do you know? I went to my uncle's place that day, and I accidentally flipped through my uncle's college graduation photo, who would have thought that it would be ......"

"Enough! That's enough!! Dead imp!! I'm coming out, can't I come out!! Uncle's helpless voice sounded from inside, and then a crack suddenly appeared around the bottom of the statue's "feet", and then the whole statue was flattened.

Then the crack was opened, and a hand was stretched out, then the head, the body, the legs, and the feet...... The first to crawl out was the uncle, with a grizzled and depressed face, followed by Dean Lu with a smiling expression, dragging two huge backpacks in his hands.

I was immediately curious: "Actually, I wasn't really interested...... But what is the reason for being able to force my uncle to this extent? Tell me, I promise not to tell my mother. ”

"You're a liar! You'll definitely tell your mom! My uncle pointed at me angrily, then turned to my brother, "Say, what do you want this time?" As long as you don't tell your sister! ”

The younger brother squinted at him triumphantly, "First of all, you two must promise to stay with us from now on. ”

"Why was I even dragged into ......" Dean Lu pursed his lips, and his face became a little depressed.

The younger brother ignored his whispered complaints, and continued with that little man's expression of triumph, "Then you must tell us what you have been through. Finally, you have to help us find our parents. ”

When the uncle heard the word "Mom and Dad", his face darkened, his expression suddenly became a little sad, and his tone began to be a little slurred: "That...... Listen to me calmly, because something unforeseen has happened...... Your mom and dad may have ...... We didn't expect ...... either."

Dean Lu stopped his uncle, who had "I'm sorry for you" written on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your uncle actually wanted to go out of this statue to save them, but I stopped him, so if you want to blame me, blame me." ”

"What? …… Wait," I said, raising my hand to stop them from saying something, tentatively, "You don't think that Mom and Dad were still on the island at the time, but now they are dead, do you?" ”

"It's not that I think," my uncle looked at me with guilt on his face, "it's true, I know you must be having a hard time accepting it now...... I saw your 'mom and dad' on the island before, but we got into an argument over something and ended up separating from them, but I didn't expect it to happen soon after...... I swore that if I had known that this would be the case, I would do anything to redeem them...... I know it's useless to talk about it now...... If you want to fight, hit me, don't hold back, cry when you should cry, this is what I owe you, I won't fight back...... But if you are willing to let go of your hatred one day and do not dislike me, I am willing to raise you in the rest of your lives in the place of your parents......"

"Wait, wait, Kaka." I looked at him with some tears and laughter, "Where did you misunderstand?" It's not what you think it is at all, in fact, I was there at the scene at the time, but I hid, and then I escaped with them, and they are all right now, but their whereabouts are unknown. As he spoke, he repeated to them what I had experienced afterwards.

The expressions of Uncle and Dean Lu at this moment can be described as "wonderful". After a long time, the uncle, who finally digested the facts, covered his face, and felt sincerely ashamed that he had made such a big oolong and said such a large part of the inner emotional confession that he had made such a play.
