As he spoke, he took out an equally rusty hammer from the wooden box behind the door, and after a few glances, he suddenly opened the lock on the drawer.

"This kind of small lock is not against the gentleman but not against the villain!" The second uncle smiled bitterly, with a sad look on his face, "When your grandfather was alive, he didn't let anyone touch this drawer...... I remember when I was a teenager, I looked unlocked and wanted to pull it open and take a look...... As a result, I was beaten up by your grandfather, so that when I smashed the lock just now, my heart was pinched. ”

After saying that, the second uncle opened the drawer, and I could clearly see his hands shaking.

The drawers are full, but they look neat, and they are full of old objects at a glance.

The second uncle took it out one by one and gently put it on the table.

At this moment, I also joked to myself: Since grandpa attaches so much importance to it, will there really be a treasure in it?

Old notebooks, old pens, rusty manual hairdressers, medals that were common in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and even a few food stamps, looking at the pieces on the table, there is nothing of value!

As soon as he thought so, he saw the second uncle take out two bulging brown paper envelopes from the bottom of the drawer, and they were full of dust.

"It can't be a love letter that grandpa wrote to grandma when he was young!" I quipped casually.

The second uncle ignored me, blew the soil on the envelope a few times, and reached out to take out the contents of the contents.

Inside the bulging vellum envelope was a stack of black-and-white photographs.

Old photos?

I couldn't help but lean my head over to take a look, the photo had been yellowed and faded, because the light in the room was dim, I only saw a group photo of several people in black and white, more or less, looking at the old tunic of the last century.

I didn't take it seriously, maybe my grandfather took it when he was young, and for people of their age, photos are relatively precious things, and most of them are well kept.

I picked up a hero pen on the table, it was very old, and I felt that it could be collected as an antique, and in my opinion, this old fountain pen was more attractive than the two stacks of old photos.

The second uncle is different, since he picked up the old photo, he has never let go, and even because he is too involved in watching it, he almost sticks his face to the photo.

"Second uncle, you know all the days in the photo!"

The second uncle shook his head and replied casually: "Some know, and some look familiar...... This man...... Why does this person look so much like my junior high school classmates! "He seemed to answer me, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

"Wrong, right? Why would your junior high school classmates take pictures with grandpa, and you don't know it yet! ”

The second uncle took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Having said that, this is too similar......

With that, he walked to the door with a few photos.

"You said that in addition to twins, there are two people in the world who look alike!"

There was enough light at the door, and after the second uncle flipped through a few photos and compared them, he asked me suspiciously.

"I guess so! In fact, there are only a few types of human faces, isn't it that someone has found a face that looks very similar to themselves in the terracotta warriors! Plus the photos are in black and white and the clarity is not high......"

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by my second uncle.

"That's not right! Wrong! This person seems to be my junior high school classmate......"

"Ahh I looked at ...... "Out of curiosity, I leaned over too."

This is a photo taken from the wild, there are a total of four people in the photo, all looking at a man in his thirties and forties, with a big river behind him, because there are no landmark buildings or scenery, I can't see that it is the river, and then look at the four people in the photo, all wearing Mao suits, standing in two rows, the one on the left in front is a short, handsome looking short, with a pen pinned to his chest.

I recognized it at a glance, this person was my grandfather Liu Maotang.

The second uncle's finger pointed to the person next to his grandfather, who was about the same height as his grandfather, slightly chubby, with a round face, and looked like he was in his forties.

After two glances, I gasped too.

Odd! How do I think this person looks familiar?

What does this person look like - Yao Liguo? Why is it so similar to Yao Liguo!

I also pointed to this person's face: "Second uncle, you said he was your classmate?" ”

The second uncle nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" My junior high school classmate. I remember every two weeks in the second year of junior high school! He transferred to our class, and later, it seems that he suddenly changed schools before the college entrance examination, at that time, rural people did not pay attention to school, and most rural schools have dropped out of school and gone home one after another since the beginning of the junior high school, so this person transferred to another school, and the second uncle didn't take it too seriously. ”

The classmate in the second uncle's mouth is also surnamed Yao, called Yao Zhijun, and he has forgotten what village it is, I think maybe he doesn't know at all.

The second uncle is less than fifty this year, and I can't forget whether he is forty-seven or forty-eight, according to this calculation, it was thirty years ago when he was in junior high school, and the school was in our village at that time.

If it weren't for the sudden sight of this stack of black and white photos, the second uncle would not have remembered that there was such a classmate at all, and he might not remember it for the rest of his life, for this transfer classmate, the second uncle actually didn't have much impression, because everything about Yao Zhijun belongs to "middle and non-slip", his academic performance is neither the best nor the worst, his personality is neither the most extroverted nor the most introverted, and even his appearance is neither handsome nor ugly.

The reason why the second uncle still remembers Yao Zhijun after thirty years in the past should come from those two things......

At the end of the 80s, with the discovery of Shengli Oilfield, the local oil lifter was continuously erected, and the so-called near-water building was the first to get the first month, and our area also became the first rural area in China to be connected to natural gas.

At that time, most of the rural areas did not attach importance to education, although there were also physics and chemistry classes, but they were all called "small subjects", and many schools did not even have enough teachers to teach these subjects. Coincidentally, at that time, there was a female teacher teaching chemistry in our village junior high school, who was still a recent graduate.

The second uncle remembers that it was a winter afternoon, and the new female teacher took the second uncle to clean up a few rooms in the school, not to mention that era, even when I was in elementary school, I often helped the school and teachers to work.

That's not the point, the point is that it was cold at the time, and the gas was free, and the school bought several gas stoves, and they brought one with them when they were working, lit it, and put it aside.

As a result, when they finished their work, they closed the door casually, and everyone forgot about the gas stove burning in the corner.

At that time, the room they cleaned was at the back of the school, and the classroom where their class was located was at the front, and the second uncle said that the two places were about five or six hundred meters apart.

It wasn't until she walked into the classroom that the female teacher remembered it and cried on the spot.

The second uncle and they also panicked, and the classroom suddenly became noisy, because they all knew that once the gas leaked, it would cause a fire at least and an explosion at worst, and the danger level would definitely exceed five stars.

At this time, Yao Zhijun stood up without saying a word, and ran out with a "poof", when the second uncle happened to be sitting by the back window of the classroom, and happened to see the scene of Yao Zhijun running like an arrow, at that time, his speed was not only far faster than his peers, but also faster than an adult athlete in the cognitive world of the second uncle.

A few minutes later, Yao Zhijun calmly returned to the classroom, just casually said "It's okay" to the female teacher, and returned to his seat. 04

In fact, the second thing left a deep impression on the second uncle.

In the 80s and early 90s, there were several middle schools in a township at that time, and most of the people in those days lived a monotonous life, neither mobile phones nor movies to watch, and most of the half-grown children were not interested in books.

It was an era when youth was destined to be accompanied by boredom, and the children had to "find fun" and even "find excitement" on their own, so there were often fights between different schools, in the popular saying of the time, called "dating fights".

Most of the teachers don't care.

At that time, there was also a middle school in Liuwangcun, and there were often "wars" between the two schools.

From the 80s to the early 90s of the last century, there were many children in rural areas, and there were early and late schools, and it was common for the difference of three or five years in the same class at that time, and some children were seventeen or eighteen when they graduated from junior high school.

The second uncle remembers that it seems to be the second half of the second semester of junior high school, and there was evening self-study at that time, but most of the evening self-study teachers would not go, and the students' attendance was very free, and the obedient children would sit in the classroom on time to do their homework, but most of the time, the attendance rate would not exceed half.

The specific time of the second uncle is no longer remembered, it seems to be the end of autumn, and it seems to be the beginning of winter, there were seven or eight people sitting in the classroom at that time, and there happened to be the second uncle and Yao Zhijun.

The door was kicked open with a "clang", and several tall boys walked in laughing, looking like they were from a foreign school. At first, I said that I was looking for so-and-so, but how could the second uncle have this person in their school! It's obvious that he wants to find fault on purpose.

has a straight personality, and reasoned with them in the past, but was slapped twice, and what is even more annoying is that several people looked at a well-developed girl in the second uncle's class, and walked over with a hippie smile and teased.

The girl was scared and cried and wanted to run, but she was dragged by several people to her clothes, and she could still run.

The other people in the room dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak! The second uncle was the same, he wanted to rush up, kick one by one, and cripple several people.

At this time, Yao Zhijun, who has never been very talkative, pointed at one of them and yelled, "Let her go."

Several people were stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Yao Zhijun, who was not tall or strong, and then laughed.

After a few people let go of the girl, they sneered and surrounded Yao Zhijun in the middle.

At that time, the second uncle's heart was hanging in his throat, he knew that these guys were ruthless, this time Yao Zhijun was afraid that he was going to suffer a big loss, and when he was in danger, he also thought about several ways in his mind, and it was too late to rush out to find the teacher, so he picked up the bench like a man and fought with the other party, and he didn't have the courage.

I'm struggling with it!

Suddenly heard a scream, the second uncle thought it was Yao Zhijun, who knew that he looked at it intently, but saw one of the foreign colonels with a pimple on his face sitting on the ground, holding his left calf tightly with both hands, and his mouth was still wailing, the sound was like killing a pig.

The second uncle was stunned, he was distracted just now, and he didn't notice what was going on at all.

But he could see the next scene clearly.

It is estimated that the other three saw that their own people had suffered a loss, and almost at the same time they raised their fists and slammed them, and the second uncle "chuckled" again in his heart, thinking that Yao Zhijun was going to suffer a big loss this time.

Who knew that Yao Zhijun, who was surrounded in the middle, was not in a hurry, and skillfully dodged the attacks of several people, and at the same time raised his left foot, and kicked the people on both sides of his body like lightning, and as soon as his foot landed, his left hand was a punch, which directly knocked out the black-faced cold-faced god standing opposite him more than two meters and fell heavily on the desk.

Suddenly, the screams in the classroom were continuous, and the four people couldn't stand up from beginning to end.

More than 30 years have passed since the incident, and the second uncle can't remember what happened next, he vaguely remembers that this incident made a big fuss, as if the parents of these four people went to school, and later he heard from others that these four people were sent to the hospital that night, all of them had broken bones, and the most seriously injured were lying in the hospital bed for three months.

The second uncle didn't remember whether Yao Zhijun had been punished for this incident, but he remembered that it seemed to be, because he still had the picture of the principal taking Yao Zhijun away with a few uniformed people in his mind, but it didn't seem to be, because the matter was finally over.

Yao Zhijun still went to his school, but no one dared to underestimate him from then on.

About half a year later, Yao Zhijun transferred to another school, and the matter was completely closed.

Because these two memories are deep memories, the second uncle has a deep impression of this old classmate from three years ago, although he has never seen him again over the years, and he has not even heard his classmates talk about him.

After listening to the second uncle's speech, I thought it was quite interesting, but I was even more sure that this person could not be his classmate Yao Zhijun.

The second uncle asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"How much older is Grandpa than you?"

The second uncle thought for a moment and replied, "Twenty-nine years old!" ”

I pointed to the person in the photo again: "Look at this picture, how old does he look?" ”

The second uncle glanced at it a few times and muttered, "Why are there thirty-seven or eighteen, or even early forties!" ”

"Then compare your grandfather standing next to him."

The second uncle suddenly realized, and patted his head: "Yes!" Seeing that he is more than ten years older than your grandfather, how can he be my classmate! Merely...... It just looks like it! ”

"Okay, second uncle, we have to pack up quickly, it's not too early."

I said that, but I wondered in my heart.

If you don't look at the clothing and hairstyle, the appearance of this person in the photo is also eight or nine points similar to Yao Liguo.

Is there such a coincidence? They all have the surname Yao......

Time was pressing, so my second uncle and I picked up some supplies from our grandparents, hugged two more bedding, and went to the cemetery again.

Before going out, I also made a special observation, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the person in the photo looked like Yao Liguo, and not only looked similar, but also looked similar.

During the whole process of going to the grave, I was a little absent-minded, and when I thought of Yao Liguo's words that night, my scalp was numb for a while.

Is there such a possibility that the second uncle's junior high school classmate named Yao Zhijun is Yao Liguo, but he later changed his name for some reason...... How should the person in the grandfather's photo be explained! It's impossible that he is also Yao Liguo, he can't take pictures with his grandfather, and then return to his youth, and after thirty or forty years, he and his second uncle became classmates!

This isn't Infernal Affairs!

Grandpa and second uncle are not important people either.

That...... Will there be two or two identical Yao Liguo? They lived under different names in the teenage years of the two generations of grandfather and second uncle......

I'll admit it's a bit sci-fi, but I can't really think of any other explanation for that.
