"Time is the best healing elixir." Xiaofeng gently patted Grandma's shoulder and comforted, "I'm sorry we reminded you of a sad memory again." ”

"What did the lad say?" Grandma smiled and said, "It's been so long, and those negative emotions have long since disappeared." What's more, when I talked to you about the things that were pressed in my heart back then, I also felt like I was happy. This person still has to communicate more and talk more. If you talk too much, you will have fewer nightmares in your heart. ”

"Yo, a guest?" A rough voice came. I looked up and saw a stout young man in his twenties pushing open the courtyard door and walking in. The young man looked unusually loyal, with a smile on his face. It's a pity that the smile on his face completely disappeared after seeing the three of us.

"Grandma, who are these three? Why do you lead everyone into your house? The young man said to his grandmother with great dissatisfaction: "I know that you are old and lonely, and I just registered you for a member of the elderly activity square a few days ago, but you didn't go, so you had to hold a book at home every day." You said that you can read books just by reading books, why are you still involved with such outsiders?"

"Outsiders, what's wrong with outsiders?" Grandma was dissatisfied, "Fifty years ago, your grandmother and I were still outsiders!" Don't be so rude, apologize to a few guests! ”

"I'm sorry." The young man was also very well-behaved, and immediately apologized to the three of us, but the next sentence made us a little ridiculous: "If there is nothing to do, you should go out quickly, I don't know what a few young people have to talk about with an old lady." ”

"I'm afraid this will be difficult to do." Xiao Feng said: "We just signed a contract with your grandmother - we rented the third floor of your house. ”

"Nani?" The young man was so angry that he came out in a foreign language, turned his head and asked Grandma, "Why don't you tell me if you rent their house?" ”

"Say what? This house is written in my name. I can toss my own house as much as I like, it's your business? Grandma picked up the broom and made a gesture to beat the young man: "Take something when you go home, get it quickly, and then go back to your broken hotel." I don't know what I'm busy with every day, and when I come back, I get angry. ”

"That's it, grandma, you're old, but don't be angry." The young man laughed, then glared at us fiercely, went into the house, picked up a bag, and left.

"I'm sorry, but don't mind. My grandson has been like this since he was a child, and for some unknown reason, he has never dealt with outsiders. I wondered if our family wasn't a local here, and his parents had never been like him...... Really! Grandma said to us apologetically, "You go upstairs and rest first, and I'll go get you dinner." ”

"Grandma, don't bother, let's go out to eat." I stopped Grandma and said politely.

"What to eat when you go out, Grandma is home alone, and she cooks for one person, and cooks for four people. Listen to Grandma, dinner is here. Grandma was very persistent, which made me a little embarrassed to refuse, so I had to nod my head and answer.

"That's it. Grandma, you go get busy first. Uncle Mao, you go and give Grandma a hand, and I'll go out with Ah Fei to buy some side dishes or something. Xiao Fengdao glanced at Uncle Mao again.

Mao Du had a "hearty" look on his face, and then said: "Ah, okay, then it's decided." You two go and come back quickly! ”

"What kind of side dishes to buy...... No, hey, there's really no need to ......" Grandma originally wanted to stop it, but she was already "enthusiastically" hugged into the house by Mao Du: "Grandma, let me tell you, today's meal, let's come together, I cook a delicious meal......"

Walking out of the gate of Grandma's house, Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said to me, "Do you know where there are side dishes around here?" ”

"Do you really want to buy side dishes?" I was a little confused and said, "Isn't it the grandson who followed Grandma?" ”

"Who told you I was going to follow that guy?" Xiao Feng said: "I'm just looking for an excuse to come out and make something clear to you." ”

Recalling Mao Du's previous expression of "sudden realization", I seemed to understand something: "What do you have to avoid Uncle Mao?" You made a foolish look at Uncle Mao before, and you also wanted to cover it up, right? ”

"Not bad." Xiao Feng walked and lit a cigarette and said, "Uncle Mao didn't tell us the truth. ”

"Why? But he didn't have a reason to lie to us! ”

"He has, and for a big reason — that's his daughter, Cat Cat." Xiaofeng said: "But Uncle Mao is not a bad person, I can be sure of this - don't ask me why, I trust my intuition." ”

Nima's, you've said everything, what else can I say. I whispered.

"Remember what I told you?" Xiao Feng highlighted a big eye circle and said slowly: "In Maomao's memory, the person who always takes care of her sister, the person who resembles a father's role, is not Uncle Mao. ”

"I know, but didn't Uncle Mao explain it later, because of the reason for the illness, the cat always confuses his imagination with the real world." I say.

"No, it's not." Xiao Feng said: "Uncle Mao just used this reason to explain why Mao Mao would claim that his parents were policemen. ”

"But what's the difference?" I said, "Maomao's memory is confused, which leads to the fact that the person who takes care of my sister in my memory is not Uncle Mao, which also makes sense!" What's more, the cat itself doesn't have a sister yet! ”

On the face of it, this statement of yours is very logical. But you forgot one thing. "Small air ducts.

"What's the matter?"

"Cat Cat said that his sister was picked up by her parents, who were police officers, in a small village in the middle of nowhere. So I wondered, this small village, could it be a faint village? ”

"Hey, you figured it out. Isolated small village, remote don't you understand? Where is the village remote? Even if it is pushed forward more than ten years, according to its development stage, it has already begun to take shape at that time, right? I said dismissively.

"You're right. But with a fluke mentality, I still asked Grandma while the two of you were away. As a result, my grandmother actually told me that about 30 years ago, a policeman did pick up a baby girl in the village and asked from house to house, but no one admitted that the baby girl was abandoned by herself. Xiao Feng's eyes widened suddenly, causing a large area of the whites of his eyes to lower the position of his pupils, staring at me.

"More than thirty years ago? How is this possible? This timeline is extremely inconsistent with the age of the cat and Uncle Mao's age! At that time, the cat had not yet been born! As for Uncle Mao...... Well, you god-sent ones can change your appearance, I'm not sure. But at least according to Uncle Mao's appearance now, he was at most ten years old at that time, right? ”

"That's right, not at all!" Xiao Feng snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, saying, "The memory of the cat is something I inadvertently captured. I'm only glad I caught Maomao's memories at the time, otherwise, I would definitely think that Maomao confused his own memories with other people's stories - after all, according to Uncle Mao, even he didn't know about Maomao's sister. ”

Moreover, at that time, the cat was able to say that "the Fang family is very strong", which also confirmed from the side that the memory of the cat is true to a large extent. I added.

"That's right." Xiao Feng said, "So it's impossible for Uncle Mao not to know about the memories of Sister Maomao." Even if the cat doesn't tell him, the cat will definitely leak the corresponding information when it gets sick. But Uncle Mao told us that he didn't know that Maomao had mentioned his sister to him, and even prevented us from asking Maomao at that time - now it seems that there is only one reason! ”

"I don't have enough IQ!" I said in unison with Xiaofeng.

"That's right! Uncle Mao is hiding a lot of information from us. Xiaofeng continued: "From several encounters with us at the train station, he has already noticed that his IQ balance needs to be recharged, so he knows that he will lose if he says more, so he simply began to ask three questions, and pushed all the unreasonableness to the symptoms of the cat. However, if that's all there is, I'm not in a hurry to call you out alone, after all, we have time to say this - just now, another extremely unusual thing happened. ”
