Early the next morning, Tan Zhe and I packed up and went home for the New Year. As I was sorting through my things, I pulled out the dark yellow mutilated ancient book from the bottom of my backpack. Thinking of Xie Luan's words, I couldn't help but study the piece of paper carefully against the sun.

Under the sunlight, every stroke of the text is extraordinarily clear, but what is annoying is that the words on it are like ghost drawings, and we don't know any of them.

What kind of information does Xie want us to unearth from this ancient book?

Approaching the end of the year, the tickets were tight, but fortunately, Tan Zhe had acquaintances in the railway department, and after saying hello, he got two tickets.

I was amazed: "I didn't expect you to be so capable!"

Tan Zhe was on the phone with his acquaintance in the railway department, and although I had my back to me and was holding the microphone with my hand, I still heard a few words floating over from him: "Thank you, thank you, and ...... The other thing...... I'll leave it to you! ”

Something else? What else? I'm confused.

Tan Zhe's phone call was finished, and he turned his head not to look at me, just lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.

I asked him, "When did you know anyone on the railroad?"

He smiled wryly and said, "It's just borrowing my eldest brother's name." This is just one sentence, and there is no follow-up after it is finished.

I had to nod, just as the radio announced that the train had entered the station, Tan Zhe took the opportunity to reveal the topic and urge me to get on the train.

In this way, the two of us successfully got on the train home. Lanshan City is not far from my home, and my parents are close to me when I see the terrain outside the car window slowly getting shorter, and the rich water town atmosphere slowly fades in the increasingly cold wind.

I didn't tell my parents about my return to my hometown, but when Tan Zhe and I showed up at the door of the house with large bags of gifts, my mother wearing an apron and flour on her hands, her eyes were red.

She called my dad out while she greeted me and counted me down, "I don't know how to say hello in advance when I got home".

My dad was just about to burn the stove, with a half-old towel around his head and a blackened burning stick in his hand.

I introduced Tan Zhe to my parents, and my parents were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.

I hurriedly explained: "Tan Zhe is my fellow junior brother, he has nowhere to go for the New Year, so I will bring him to our house for the New Year, and I want to have a lively time."

My parents knew that it was a misunderstanding, so they immediately laughed, and then very enthusiastically let Tan Zhe into the house, made tea, and boiled water for us to wash our faces.

Tan Zhe took out the gifts prepared in advance, he bought a pound of good Mingqian Longjing for my father, and two pounds of bird's nest for my mother.

My mother pretended to reprimand with a tense face: "You are Xiaomi's junior brother, just like your younger brother, it's hard to go home, why do you buy such a valuable thing?" You can't buy it again! ”

I hurriedly laughed and said, "Mom, don't be polite to him, he's a big guy!" Rich many! ”

My mom laughed and slapped me on the back and scolded, "I didn't do anything right all day." Then he asked me to talk to Tan Zhe well, and he took off his apron in a panic and pulled my dad to buy some good food.

After my parents went out, Tan Zhe and I sat in the living room while eating melon seeds while watching TV, and when chatting, Tan Zhe's words were full of envy: "I really want to come to your house a few more times in the future, my aunt and uncle are really enthusiastic."

The two of us were chatting, and Aunt Zhu's voice suddenly sounded in the yard, I went out to take a look, only to see Aunt Zhu standing in the yard with bubbles. As soon as she saw me, she smiled and said, "When did Millet come back?"

In this village, Aunt Zhu is one of the few kind-hearted and enthusiastic people, and I will never forget how she and Bubbles helped me when Liu Tiangen led a large group of villagers to my house to make trouble!

I hurriedly said, "I just got home, and my ass is not hot yet!" Auntie, are you coming to my mother? ”

Aunt Zhu nodded and said: "I saw your mother wearing a big red jacket the day before yesterday, looking beautiful and rowed, I want to ask her where she bought it, no, it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, I will also buy one, it can be regarded as a decent dress!"

I laughed and said, "Then you come later, my mom is out to buy groceries!"

Aunt Zhu held the bubble hand and said, "Okay." After agreeing, he didn't forget to count me: "You finally came back, but you have to accompany your mother at home, you don't touch the house outside, she is really heartbroken for you!"

I replied. Aunt Zhu turned around to leave, but I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped her. I ran back to the room, took out two large boxes from my backpack, and said, "Auntie, I don't have any great skills, I'm thinking about bringing you and Bubbles some small gifts, it's not worth much, don't dislike it."

Aunt Zhu took the box from my hand, touched the plastic packaging, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "You child, you are still ...... with your aunt You're welcome? Hey, this is a mask, right? She touched her cheek and smiled honestly and said, "I'm an old skinned old face, and I don't know if it's useful or not!" That's a lot of money, right? ”

I hurriedly said, "Money is secondary, but when I bought it, the counter lady told me that after using it, I can definitely be about ten years younger!" I bought a set for both you and my mother, and if it works, let's buy it again! ”

I handed another box to Bubbles and said with a smile, "Bubbles, this is a school bag, see if you like it or not!"

Bubbles seemed to be more shy and introverted, he bit his lip and squirmed and hid behind Aunt Zhu, only showing a pair of big eyes looking at me, his eyes were a little ...... Complex......

Aunt Zhu grabbed him by the collar, pulled the bubbles out from behind her, and scolded: "This kid is getting more and more twisted, quick, Brother Mi bought you a new uncle bag, should you say thank you?"

At the moment when Aunt Zhu pulled the bubbles out, I saw a row of blood-red tooth marks on his neck!

I grabbed Bubbles' clothes and asked Aunt Zhu eagerly: "Bubbles...... What's going on? ”

Aunt Zhu patted it lightly on the bubble head and said, "I don't know who bit it, I guess it was a fight with a classmate, so I didn't say anything when I asked him." I smeared him with some iodine yesterday, how can this ...... Seems to be getting redder? ”

How could this be an ordinary bite? This wound faintly exudes a black gas, which ordinary people can't see, but can't hide it from me and Momoko's eyes!

Tan Zhe also squatted down, pulled the bubbles and asked, "Little friend, tell Brother Liu Mi how you got it?"

Tan Zhe is a living person, and Bubbles was timid for a while, and he hid behind Aunt Zhu and refused to show his head. Aunt Zhu also saw that something was wrong, and asked us tentatively: "This wound ...... Is there something wrong? ”
