When she saw Uncle Feng in the place, Xue Xuxu was naturally criticized at first, and Uncle Feng even traced the troubles in the past cardamom years because of her forgetfulness this time, and then sighed that the years were ruthless, as if they were eight or nine out of ten, etc.
The old man is old, and there are not many people who can talk on weekdays, so Xue Xuxu behaves very smoothly, and has been pushing his cheeks high, and his eight big white teeth are shining in the sun.
Xue Xuxu listened casually, sometimes with an aftertaste, sometimes he just listened to Uncle Feng alone, but he also passed the time very well.
"Crazy girl, you know about the lumps of wood."
Hearing this, Xue Xuxu was stunned, and he was still holding a feather duster in his hand, and accidentally dragged a few down.
The crazy girl is Xue Xuxu, and the wooden lump is Shen Liyang, Uncle Feng always called them that in the past. Although, Uncle Feng always likes to make fun of her, but in fact, he prefers Shen Liyang more, and if there is anything delicious, he will stop Shen Liyang at the school gate and give it to him, sometimes if he just touches Xue Xuxu and wanders around alone, he will also hand over the things and tell her to leave some for Shen Liyang.
Yes, Shen Liyang has always remembered Uncle Feng, and after graduating from high school, several classmates said that they saw Shen Liyang go back to Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School to visit his old man. The two of them have such a good relationship, but Shen Liyang is gone, and Uncle Feng, who has been living in Jiangcheng, also knows about it, so he didn't mention Shen Liyang's name when he saw her.
But now, it seems that I can't help it.
Xue Xuxu's grinning face suddenly tightened, and his tightly pursed lips pulled helplessly, and nodded with his head buried.
Uncle Feng sighed and turned back to the house, and after a while, he sat back by the fire in the courtyard, and handed over the things in his hand, "I don't know how many years I can live, I will hand over the things to you for safekeeping when you come back, and when he comes back, you will return it to him for me." ”
"......" Xue Xuxu looked up and saw that Uncle Feng's trembling hand was actually a key, she took it and looked at it again, looking at him incomprehensibly.
"Almost six years ago, he asked my son to hand over the key to me for safekeeping, and he said that he would come and get it later. Then, I kept it, and then something happened to him, and I didn't know who to give this thing to, so I thought that if someone would take care of me, I would hand it over when I wanted, and it turned out to be six years. Uncle Feng's face covered with the vicissitudes of time suddenly turned lonely, he took the pliers on the side and moved the carbon of the stove, and sighed heavily when he saw the flames coming out of the hole, "It's still that day, Teacher Wei said that you crazy girl is back, so I thought of simply leaving it to you." Anyway, no matter what happens to you in the end, the previous relationship is still there, it's not this reason, crazy girl! ”
Xue Xu glanced at him weakly, smiled bitterly, and realized halfway through the laughter, "Uncle Feng, how do you know that I am with him...... Broken? "To say that he was dumped by Shen Liyang at that time, no one said anything about such a shameful thing except Le Jia and Jiang Hao, and according to Shen Liyang's stuffy character, he would definitely not publicize it everywhere, so at that day's class reunion, there were still people who thought that Xue Xuxu's old single young woman did not get married and had children just to keep the festival for Shen Liyang!
This is rich in imagination, and I'm really embarrassed to judge; But from the side, all kinds of outsiders between her and Shen Liyang are not clear, so how did Uncle Feng know? Could it be that Shen Liyang is talking about feelings with an old man?
Xue Xuxu was stunned when he thought about it.
Just when she was guessing, Uncle Feng took the initiative to tell the truth, "I still remember that night, I saw him on the playground, and when I saw him sitting on the side in a daze, I urged him to go home, but the wooden bump said that he would send me back." But he didn't say a word along the way, and I saw that something was wrong, so I asked him if he was arguing with you, and he didn't answer me at that time, but when he sent me back here and was about to leave, he suddenly asked me something like that......"
Uncle Feng narrowed his eyes and thought about it seriously, and vaguely repeated the sentence, "'If the person I like...... Not who I thought he was...... What to do'Hmm...... That's what I said. ”
"Anyway, I didn't understand the old man, and when I came back to the taste, I was worried that the two of you were probably tired of something. Later, you didn't even come back when something happened to him, so I thought, maybe I really expected it. ”
What Uncle Feng tasted from Shen Liyang's brainless words, Xue Xuxu didn't know, but when she carefully recalled the meaning of that sentence, she also felt that she didn't understand.
However, Xue Xuxu was very curious, "Uncle Feng, do you remember when this happened?" ”
"When?" Uncle Feng stroked his beard, "It should be winter, there is no one in the school at night...... Oh...... It's the winter break before you graduate from college, probably around that time! ”
Winter break, college?
In this way, it should have happened shortly after the last time he saw Shen Liyang, Xue Xuxu scratched his head in annoyance, and failed to grasp the key point in it. Fortunately, she was not very embarrassed, she had to unscrew it one by one, and after continuing to drink tea with Uncle Feng for a while, Xue Xuxu took the key and said goodbye.
She took out her phone as soon as she went out the door.
"Hey, Wang Hao. An elder handed me a key, saying that Shen Liyang had placed it with him, and I looked at the words engraved on the key, which was the nameplate of 'Immortal Crane Tomb'. You say, could there be anything in there? ”
The Immortal Crane Mausoleum is a cemetery in the south of Jiangcheng, and a young man in his prime gave a key related to the cemetery to the old man in his last years, isn't it strange!
"Bring life to where you are, I'm coming for you." Wang Hao on the other end of the phone also realized the importance of the matter, so he planned to meet Xue Xuxu again without saying a word.
Xue Xuxu also heard a trace of excitement in Wang Hao's tone, and strengthened her thoughts, she looked at the sky and suggested to Wang Hao, "Let's meet at the Immortal Crane Tomb, otherwise it will be too late." ”
"Good!"
The two quickly ended the call, and Xue Xuxu also stepped up his pace and walked to the road to stop a car and go straight to the Immortal Crane Tomb. Actually, she is selfish with this suggestion, Uncle Feng's home is located in the south, close to the Immortal Crane Mausoleum, to be honest, let her be alone here in a hurry to wait for Wang Hao to come from the east, I just think it is a waste of time.
So, after she got out of the car, she went to the office building of the cemetery, and after entering the door, she found the staff Xue Xuxu and took out the key that Uncle Feng gave her, "Excuse me, is this key here?" ”
The other party looked at it and nodded affirmatively, "It's the key to the ashes storage place in our cemetery, and we usually give the family a spare one to collect." ”
"Store the urn!" Xue Xuxu was a little startled, looked down and suddenly panicked, she held back the uneasiness in her heart and asked, "This key is my ...... My husband stayed, so could you please help me find out who is stored here? ”
The staff glanced at Xue Xuxu and was embarrassed, but she still turned to a desk and knocked in front of the computer for a while, and when she finally saw the display screen, her brows were obviously frowned. She returned to Xue Xuxu and pointed to the number engraved under the Immortal Crane Tomb on the key, "According to this number, this columbarium was only bought, and there is no one's ashes in it for the time being." ”
"Empty?"
The man nodded.
Xue Xu thought for a while and asked, "Who bought it?" Can you tell me. Seeing that the other party hesitated, she was anxious, "Was it bought by a person named Shen Liyang?" ”
The man shook his head, "That person's surname is Shen." "I think this is the maximum that the other party can help.
But Xue Xuxu reacted immediately, "Mo Huifang?" Seeing that the other party's eyes lit up, she quickly took out her mobile phone and called Mo Huifang, in which Mo Huifang was very surprised that Xue Xuxu knew that she had bought the ashes, but she also told her that she had bought it for a friend in the early years, and as for the spare key, she remembered that Shen Liyang had asked her to ask for it, and she had no impression after that.
Mo Huifang didn't understand why she asked about it, but when she wanted to know more, Xue Xuxu casually found a reason to prevaricate.
Hung up the phone, Xue Xuxu asked if he could go to see the columbarium, the staff thought that it was empty, and heard that she was very familiar with the property owner just now, so he smiled and nodded, and told him to be careful not to touch other things.
So, Xue Xuxu went to Xiaoyao Garden by himself in the direction pointed by the staff, and found No. 330 according to the vague number on the key.
In a glass lattice of less than 0.2 square meters, like other lattices, there was a large box of dark lacquered wood, Xue Xuxu looked at the lock on the glass, checked the key in his hand, and inserted it without hesitation.
With a click, it opened, revealing most of the side of the lacquer box.
Xue Xuxu stood on tiptoe to move the box out of the lattice, and carefully lifted it down with his hands, when the mobile phone rang coincidentally.
She walked to the table next to the bed with the box in her hand, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and saw that it was Wang Hao's number.
"Lifelike, have you arrived?"
"Well, here it is. What about you? ”
"Traffic jam, I guess there will be a while. You remember to wait for me first when you get there, and don't go in alone. ”
Uh, it seems to be late.
Xue Xu pursed his lips and replied honestly, "I've already come in." The key left by Shen Liyang was to open an ash site, and the ash site was bought by Aunt Mo in her early years. I went out of the empty box to see what was inside, but it seemed to be locked and I couldn't open it......," she said, flicking a small metal lock on the lacquer box.
"......" When the other side heard that Xue Xuxu had taken matters into his own hands and acted rashly, Wang Hao could only express his inner collapse at the moment with silence.
"Wait!" Xue Xuxu suddenly called out into the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"This lock...... It seems to be the lock of that strange key. ”
"Strange key?" Wang Hao recounted, instantly remembering what Xue Xuxu found in the box of things left by Shen Liyang, and suddenly, he instinctively became nervous, and shouted into the phone, "Xuxu, don't do anything now, wait for me to come, take the box and wait for me to come over in a crowded place." Lifelike, lifelike, do you hear that? ”
