Chapter 11: Finding the Firesparrow
Nan Hanfei remembered that when Uncle Ge walked the birds before, he often left the birds in the forest where the birds were walking, and it is estimated that the same thing happened this time.
Nan Hanfei smiled and said to Uncle Ge, "Did you drop the bird in the forest again?" ”
Uncle Ge lowered his head and did not respond.
"Uncle Ge?!" Nan Hanfei saw that Uncle Ge did not react, and called softly.
Uncle Ge sat on the chair, his head bowed, still motionless.
Gu Yanan felt that something was wrong, stepped forward to check Uncle Ge's state, stretched out his hand to try, his pulse and breath were normal, but his body was slightly hot.
Uncle Ge just fell asleep!
"Slept?!"
Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei whispered in amazement at the same time.
Although Uncle Ge is old, the time to fall asleep is too fast.
Nan Hanfei helped Uncle Ge and sighed slightly: "Uncle Ge has been sleeping more and more frequently recently, and now he can fall asleep in the police station." ”
Nan Hanfei greeted Gu Yanan, who was standing aside, "It seems that before sending you home, I need to send Uncle Ge back first." ”
"You can't send him home."
"Why?"
Nan Hanfei helped Uncle Ge and was about to walk outside the police station, but was stopped by Gu Yanan.
Gu Yanan explained: "Uncle Ge is obviously sick now, and he should be sent to the hospital to find the cause. ”
Nan Hanfei: "You don't need to go to the hospital, Uncle Ge was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease before, and he will have drowsiness." ”
"Diagnosed?"
"Well, I've seen the diagnosis."
Gu Yanan still felt a little strange, but he couldn't say anything was wrong for a while.
But since Nan Hanfei had decided to send Uncle Ge home, Gu Yanan helped to help Uncle Ge get into the car.
——
Uncle Ge's courtyard.
When Nan Hanfei and Gu Yanan sent Uncle Ge back to his small courtyard, it was already completely dark.
Uncle Ge's courtyard is located in an ancient building complex of the Republic of China near the western suburbs of Lianhai City.
This ancient building complex of the Republic of China in Lianhai City has been classified as a cultural relics and ancient building protection area by the municipal government, and it is not allowed to be destroyed and transformed, so this area still retains the antique architectural style of the Republic of China, compared with the surrounding high-rise buildings, like a small town staying in the Republic of China period.
Walking into Uncle Ge's courtyard, the roof of the green tile slope and the green bricks in the wall all show the long history of this small courtyard.
In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a glass flower house made of transparent glass.
When Nan Hanfei and Gu Yanan helped Uncle Ge through the small courtyard, Gu Yanan subconsciously glanced at the glass flower room, and saw that there were many shelves in the flower room, on which there were all kinds of flowers that could not be named, and there were many bird cages hanging near the top of the flower room, and there were more than a dozen of them.
After some bumps on the road, Uncle Ge was already awake when he was helped into the house.
Nan Hanfei was very familiar with Uncle Ge's room, poured a cup of hot water and put it in Uncle Ge's hand, and said, "Uncle Ge, can I go to your glass flower room to have a look?" ”
Uncle Ge is most distressed about the flowers and birds in the glass flower room, and he usually doesn't allow others to enter, even if Nan Hanfei, who is very familiar with him, wants to go in, he has to get his consent.
Uncle Ge took a sip of water, squinted his eyes and asked, "What are you doing in the glass flower room?" ”
"Help you find the lost red-billed finches."
Uncle Ge thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Oh, I remember, my red-billed firefinch was lost, I went to report the case just now, why have I gone home now?" ”
Uncle Ge obviously didn't remember the sudden fall asleep at the police station just now.
Gu Yanan stared at Uncle Ge, his brows furrowed inadvertently.
Uncle Ge remembered his lost red-billed firefinch, and hurriedly asked Nan Han to fly to the glass flower room to check, but when he saw a tall and beautiful girl standing aside, Uncle Ge suddenly said, "Xiao Nan, bring your girlfriend this time?" ”。
Nan Hanfei didn't deny it, just smiled.
Gu Yanan felt that Nan Hanfei was deliberately standing there without speaking, deliberately watching her reaction.
Gu Yanan explained to Uncle Ge, "We are just friends. ”
Nan Hanfei only then explained, "Well, we are friends. ”
Uncle Ge looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him with the eyes of a passerby, and said with a smile: "I understand, boyfriends and girlfriends are developed from ordinary friends." ”
Gu Yanan felt that there was no point in arguing with an old man about this topic, so he kept silent.
Nan Han quickly entered the glass flower room, inspected the situation, and found no trace of the red-billed firefinch, and there was no trace of the glass flower room being picked by outsiders to pick the lock and force it in.
Coming out of the glass flower room, Nan Hanfei instructed Gu Yanan, "I'll go look in the nearby woods, you accompany Uncle Ge first, and I will be back in half an hour." ”
Gu Yanan nodded in agreement.
After seeing Nan Hanfei leave, Uncle Ge pulled Gu Yanan and started chatting.
But this kind of chat is more like Uncle Ge checking Gu Yanan's household registration.
From age, occupation to family relationship, Uncle Ge asked in detail.
After learning about Gu Yanan's situation, Uncle Ge began to say what he knew about Nan Hanfei's situation.
Nan Hanfei just moved here two years ago, living next door to Uncle Ge, and it is also an old mansion in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, I heard that it was the ancestral home of the Nan family, Nan Hanfei settled abroad with his parents before, and came back two years ago to work in the Lianhai City Police Department.
In the past two years, because Uncle Ge lived alone, Nan Hanfei often came to help Uncle Ge, cleaning, repairing furniture, going out to buy medicine or something, just like half a son.
After chatting about the situation of Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei, Uncle Ge began to introduce his glass flower room.
"In the past, I raised flowers and birds on my own balcony, but the temperature on the balcony is not good, a lot of flowers can not be raised, so a few years ago I found someone to build this glass flower room, since there is this glass flower room, the temperature inside can be guaranteed, a lot of flowers can be raised, I also specially asked someone to buy imported flower soil from the outside, these flowers and soil can not be obtained by ordinary people, now those flowers grow well, the girl does not want to go in and show me?"
When Uncle Ge said this, Gu Yanan was also very interested in the glass flower room, "Okay, I also want to see what strange flowers and plants you have planted." ”
Uncle Ge got up from his chair and prepared to take Gu Yanan to the glass flower room.
Suddenly, the gate of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Nan Hanfei walked in with a birdcage.
There was a flaming bird in the cage, which was the red-billed firefinch that Uncle Ge thought was missing.
Nan Hanfei carried the bird cage to Uncle Ge, "Do you think it's this?" ”
Uncle Ge happily held the bird cage, only glanced at it and said happily: "It's this one, my little red, where did you go by someone to steal it?" It's good that your little brother Nan found you, otherwise I would have died of distress. ”
Nan Hanfei leaned into Gu Yanan's ear and whispered: "Uncle Ge is usually too lonely alone, and he regards these birds as his son, so I have become the elder brother of these birds." ”
