Han Yi accompanied me, and it was already afternoon when we got there.

The fellow inquired and found out that Uncle Li worked in a government agency, and when I took Han Yi to find there, it was already dark, and the people had already left work, so we found a place to live first.

The next morning, we came again, Han Yi and I waited outside Uncle Li's unit, and when we got off work at noon, a crowd of threes and twos came out of it.

I didn't know Uncle Lee's full name, so I couldn't ask, so I had to wait outside to see if I could recognize him when he came out.

I lit a cigarette and handed it to Han Yi, who shook his head and said no.

I squatted across from someone's flat, smoking a cigarette while watching the crowd coming and going across from the unit.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure, and I immediately stood up.

To be honest, after so many years, I have almost forgotten Uncle Li's appearance, and I can only identify it by general impressions, I feel that the person should be Uncle Li, but it seems to be a lot older than before, so I hurriedly greeted him.

He walked out with another colleague talking and laughing, and when I came to him, I tentatively shouted, "Uncle Li! ”

He was stunned for a moment, looked me up and down puzzled, and wondered, "Young man, are you calling me?" ”

I nodded and smiled, handing over a cigarette.

He waved his hand, said he didn't smoke, and asked me puzzled, "Do we know each other?" ”

I said, "I'm not sure, is your surname Li?" Formerly from North China? ”

He nodded, a little surprised, and said, yes, how do you know.

I smiled and said, do you know Wang Hongshan?

After hearing this, his face changed, and he looked at me and said, "You and Wang Hongshan are ......."

I smiled at him and said, "I am Wang Hongshan's son, Wang Yu." ”

Uncle Li's face moved after hearing this, the light in his eyes flickered, and his voice was a little disbelieving: "You are Xiaoyu?!" ”

I smiled and nodded.

Uncle Li's face was full of excitement, he grabbed my arm tightly and looked me up and down, and said, "Come, let my uncle take a good look, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I have grown into an adult." ”

After the greetings, Uncle Li took us to the restaurant, and told me that he had visited our house to find me and my mother when he left, and wanted to say goodbye to us, but our neighbor said that our family had moved away.

I said I'd change schools, and my mom took me to my uncle's.

Uncle Li asked my mother how she was doing, and I said it was fine with my uncle.

He suddenly looked nervous and asked me, "Xiaoyu, you came to see me this time, does your mother know?" ”

I remember when I was a child, my mother told him to have less contact with our family, and I didn't know why when I was a child, but now it seems that Uncle Li is afraid that Uncle Li will tell me about my father.

I smiled and said, my mom doesn't know.

His face changed and he asked my mom if she would be angry when she found out.

I sighed and said, "Uncle Li, you don't have to hide from me, I basically know about my father's affairs." ”

He was shocked when he heard this, and he stayed for a long time before he asked me, "How do you know?"

I told him what a mysterious person had told me, and he got nervous and asked me what was going on.

I told him about the mysterious person telling me that Song Houhai was the enemy who killed my father.

Uncle Li looked solemn after hearing this, and did not speak, it was obvious that he knew this.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I said a little anxiously: "Uncle Li, don't hide anything from me, what is my father's identity, and why did Song Houhai kill him?" As for this mystery man, can you guess who he is? ”

Uncle Li was silent for a while, sighed and said: "Xiaoyu, I really can't guess this mysterious person, I separated from your father after I finished the army, and I went to find him later, and as for your father's death, I only know a rough idea, I can tell you, but if you take revenge, ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at me with emotion, and said slowly: "Forget about revenge, it's all in the past, and your father also expected that he might have an accident before his death, and told me, if you grow up and know about him, let me tell you that revenge is not allowed, this is his last wish before his death." ”

I didn't say anything, I kept my head down, and I looked stubborn.

Uncle Li sighed and said: "Your father and I can also say that we are flesh and blood, we were soldiers together, we were born and died together, if it weren't for him, I might have died on the battlefield, and then although I was separated for a while, but then I don't know how he found me, saying that he was married, let me go to North China, I passed without hesitation, we did business together, and we were together almost every day until he had an accident......

Speaking of this, Uncle Li's tone suddenly became hoarse, swallowed his saliva, adjusted his emotions, and continued: "Until he had an accident, I had less contact with you, and you went there a few times when you were a child, but you were all kicked out by your mother, saying that if it is good for you, let me not go in the future." ”

I frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Then you tell me, how did my dad die, and why did Song Houhai kill my dad." ”

Uncle Li sighed and said, "It is said that your father had a business conflict with Song Houhai, so he hired a murderer." ”

I asked, "It's that simple?" ”

Uncle Li hesitated, nodded, and said, "It's as simple as that. ”

I shook my head, lit a cigarette, sank my face, and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, if my dad is an ordinary businessman, then I believe this, but when he first saw my mother, he was injured and almost died, so now tell me that he was killed because of business, I don't believe it." ”

Uncle Li's expression was complicated after hearing this, and he shook his head and said, To be honest, I really don't know about your father's death, but I also guess that this Song Houhai may be just a disguise.

I asked him, "Uncle Li, you said that my father was a soldier with you for a while?" ”

He nodded and said, yes.

I asked him what kind of soldier he was, if he had ever killed someone on the battlefield, then I am afraid it should be a special soldier, right?

Uncle Li nodded and said, yes.

I asked him, "What about my dad after you separated?"

Uncle Li said that my father was transferred away, and then I don't know why he completely lost contact, and then he himself was a soldier for a few years and then gave up the opportunity to stay in the team for his girlfriend, chose to be demobilized, and was arranged to work in his hometown municipal party committee until my father looked for him.

I asked him, "My dad lost contact after he was transferred?" ”

He nodded, and I said, how did my dad behave when he was in the army?

Uncle Li was a little surprised when he saw me suddenly ask this, and then said with some emotion: "Your father was in our brigade at the time, he was definitely a number of figures, the champion of the martial arts competition since he came, the champion has no one else's share, and his marksmanship is also first-class, he is a famous sharpshooter in the team, he has won two first-class merits alone, not to mention other second-class and third-class merits, what is the concept of first-class merits, it is in exchange for his life, I was also an excellent non-commissioned officer in our company back then, and I have also won a few times for small merits, quite arrogant, I haven't served anyone, but your father, I'm really convinced. ”

When Uncle Li mentioned my father and his past, he was a little impassioned and emotional for a while, and at the end he sighed twice, his expression was a little depressed, and he muttered: "It's a pity, it can only be the past." ”

I waited until he finished speaking before I asked him, "Uncle Li, do you think my dad would have been transferred to another company or some secret department at that time?" ”

Uncle Li shook his head and sighed, I really don't know this, but we have also guessed so, otherwise a big living person would not have been heard from for no reason, and when he left, he promised that he would contact me when he arrived.

I didn't speak again, took out the pendant that Uncle Lin had left for my dad from my arms, put it on the table, gently pushed it to him, and said to him, "Look at it, do you know this?" ”

Uncle Li took Xiang Shen'er over, put it in his hand and looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, then shook his head, and asked me puzzledly, "What is this?" I've never seen one. ”

I smiled at him and said, "Have you ever heard of a thousand blades?" ”
