Chapter 585: Old Story (I)

Uncle Dewang didn't seem very happy about the cancellation of the afternoon launch, but he seemed to realize something, and sat in the small courtyard at the door early in the morning, brewing tea and smoking shisha and waiting for us. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uncle Dewang is so Yaxing." I say.

"It's not for myself, it's for you. I don't have good tea at home, these are ordinary jasmine, make tea eggs when you have nothing to do, don't dislike it. Uncle Dewang said.

I poured myself a cup of jasmine, and I also poured a cup for Yun Ning, this time, I only brought Yun Ning and A Luo, and came over to talk about things, there is no need to bring so many people, especially men, so that I don't want to talk but judge. This is what Yun Ning told me, she has been in psychology for a long time, she said that it is too sinister to read people's hearts by reading minds, and she hopes to use mind reading to understand psychology for a long time.

"It's such ordinary tea, especially old tea, drinking old tea, it's more suitable for listening to old stories. Uncle, we are here today just to hear your old story. I said.

"Me? I am a lonely old man who has been begging for a living in the water all my life, how can I have any story. If you like to hear about the strange things in this water, I have quite a few of them. Uncle Dewang said with a haha.

"We've seen a lot of strange things, and I came to you today mainly to tell fortunes." I say.

"Fortune telling? Girl, are you kidding me here? How can I have any fortune-telling skills, and if I can tell fortunes, how can I watch my family die in the water again and again? Uncle Dewang said.

"Then I'll have to ask what's in the water. What is there that makes you choose to stay here after knowing the fate of your family, and what is there that makes you ignore your master's advice and stay here again and again? I asked.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Uncle Dewang said this, but his face turned ugly.

"We read the suicide note of Mr. Ge you mentioned, the address mentioned in it has now become an empty space, and the key in the letter, although it is a copper key, but we are not stupid, you don't know what the people in our team are from. The copper key is a copper key mold, which is the same as the key mold stored in the current key shop with the key, and it has not yet been bladed. It's not a key at all. Why did Ge Lao just give us a key that couldn't open anything? In this case, it seems that the important clue should be the address. I went to check, that place is not somewhere else, it is your original home, do you think that we will not be able to find out if the house was sold and demolished more than 20 years ago? I said.

Uncle Dewang fell silent and said no more.

"And your grandson, we have inquired in the village, your grandson is not the useless stupid child you say, I heard that he is also one of the best in the village, and is a very smart and clever child. What is the reason why you can reverse black and white and hide it at the expense of discrediting your grandson? I asked.

"Now that you've found out, you should know everything, so why bother coming to me?" Uncle Dewang said.

"We are looking for you because there are some things that only you can tell us. Don't you still know your master's intention in leaving this letter to Uncle Lu? "I said, Uncle Dewang looked at me a little blankly, and I knew that I was right." Okay, let me give you an analysis, at the beginning, your master said that your family would die here and let you leave with your family, but you didn't do it, why? Because you know a secret, a secret hidden in that sea. For this secret, you do not hesitate to gamble with the lives of your family. Later, your master left, leaving you this letter and asking you to hand it over to Uncle Lu, I'm afraid Uncle Lu's scarred face is a sign. But it is written the address of your old house, which makes you very frightened, you don't know why your master is doing this, so you put a key in it, you want to disguise it as if your master has something buried in this place, I'm afraid you demolished your own home to find that thing. It's just that you didn't expect that your master didn't leave anything, and the reason why he wrote that address was because he expected that you wouldn't leave, and it was you who he asked us to find. I said.

I saw Uncle Dewang squint and was noncommittal, but he had already begun to think, and this was the first step in taking him along with my train of thought.

"I have investigated in the village, and there are not many people of the same age as you, but in your time there were more people who fished for a living, and there were very few people in the village who had read books, but your speech and demeanor were not as vulgar as ordinary fishermen, which shows that you have received a good education." I say.

Finally, Uncle Dewang sighed and said, "Okay, I admit it, Ge Younian used to be my master. ”

"Ever?" I asked rhetorically.

"I did such a thing of betraying my master, where do I have the face to call him master." Uncle Dewang said.

"So what did Ge Younian do in your village back then?" I asked.

"That was more than 50 years ago, when I was young and vigorous, and I was one of the most beautiful in the village, and I was very popular with girls. But at that time, my heart was higher than the sky, and I always thought that one day I could go out and see the outside world, until I met my master, I dispelled this idea. The uncle said, "At that time, it was just after the natural disaster, and the families were not rich, but our village chief was better, and because of the proximity to the sea, everyone at least had enough to eat." One day, a fortune teller suddenly came to the village, and this person was my master. You said that in those years, who still has spare money for fortune telling, so my master's business is not good, but he doesn't mind, he tells fortunes for free, and even gives a lot of subsidies to people who are not doing well. You must know that at that time, food stamps were very scarce, and after a long time, the news of his generosity spread, and more and more people came to him for fortune telling. Uncle Dewang said.

"He came to your village, can't it be as simple as telling fortunes?" I say.

"Yes, at first he probably thought that he could leave as long as he stayed for three or five days, so he built a shack by the lake, but later found out that his affairs were far from being as simple as he imagined, and he was afraid that he would have to delay for a long time, so he stayed at my house. At that time, the master was already very famous, and there were more and more people looking for him to tell fortunes, but he had a lot of rules. First, only three trigrams are counted every day. Second, who counts, who doesn't count, what he says counts, and those who have been rejected once will not be counted for you again. Even with such a big rule, there is still an endless stream of divination. (To be continued.) )
