Chapter 118: The Shadow of the Pond

The white elf is very psychic, if it weren't for the danger and the threat of the environment, it would never be like this!!

I pulled Mu Qin behind me and stared at the lake vigilantly. In the twilight, this dead lake is only a few ripples, and there is no movement, and there is no difference to be seen.

Uncle Qiao, who was holding a rice bowl at the door, trotted all the way over, came to him, looked at the two of us carefully, and asked contemptuously:

"What kind of letter?"

When I got closer, I looked closer, this Uncle Qiao was about the same age as Hu Badao, his hair was half white, he was stepping on a pair of mountain shoes that had been glued, wearing a dirty denim jacket, leaking dark and strong shoulders, and his appearance was mediocre, and he looked like a big old man.

I was still nervously guarding against the lake, and the white elf suddenly returned to normal at this time, it stretched its head and looked around, stunned for a moment, and then closed its eyes as if nothing had happened, and continued to rest.

Its abnormal behavior can make me confused, Uncle Qiao saw that I didn't talk, raised his leg and kicked me, and said sharply:

"What do you say?"

I came to my senses and hastened to reply:

"Uncle Qiao, my name is Cheng 100 billion, and I'm here for Aunt Ling!" I spoke word for word according to the opening sentence that I had been taught, and handed over the letter in my hand.

As soon as he heard Aunt Ling, this Uncle Qiao was just about to pick up rice in his mouth, and he was immediately stunned. When he reacted, he exaggeratedly skimmed his rice bowl, pulled the letter and turned around and ran into the house.

Seeing that he reacted so violently, I was really startled, and quickly gave Mu Qin a look and chased after him.

The wooden house is independent of the lake, the area is not large, but the daily necessities are readily available, it can be seen that it is a place where people live for a long time, Uncle Qiao is wearing reading glasses, hiding under an incandescent light bulb, looking at the letter with an excited expression.

Listening to Da Fei, Hu Badao and Uncle Qiao are rivals in love, although I don't know the grievances and hatreds between them, but seeing this picture, I can probably guess one or two, Hu Badao taught me that this Aunt Ling should be the heroine of the two of them competing with each other!

I don't know what was written on the letter, Uncle Qiao didn't look at it for a while and was moved to tears, his calloused hands kept shaking, and he choked like a child for a while.

Mu Qin and I had the heart to comfort me, but we couldn't talk at all, so we stood quietly at the door for a few minutes, Uncle Qiao gradually calmed down, and finally noticed the existence of the two of us, wiped his tears and asked me:

"Is the letter really from Ah Ling?"

"Yes." I replied: "Two years ago, I rented a house in Hangzhou and became a neighbor with Aunt Ling, she heard that I was from the Northeast, and when she left, she asked me to send you this letter two years later!" ”

Uncle Qiao seemed convinced, and muttered to himself:

"Hangzhou, I heard that she did go to Hangzhou later...."

"What else did you say?"

"Didn't say anything else!"

"When you saw her, was she married, and with whom?" When Uncle Qiao asked this, he held the letter in his hand as if it were a treasure, and stared at me nervously, as if this question was very important to him.

"I didn't have a family, I lived alone." All of Uncle Qiao's questions were within Hu Badao's expectations, and I answered them fluently according to the words I had prepared in advance.

Uncle Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he still asked tentatively:

"Really alone? Have you ever seen a guy with glasses, a small stature, a mustache, and a smooth eyebrow around her? ”

Isn't this description nonsense? I was stunned for a moment, and then replied in embarrassment:

"No, Aunt Ling is indeed alone!"

Uncle Qiao seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and sighed abruptly.

"Ahem... It's also that I'm too careful, more than 30 years have passed, and I don't know if the old guy is still there! ”

After asking, Uncle Qiao beckoned us to sit down, and looked at the letter reluctantly.

I completely followed Hu Badao's instructions, he didn't ask, I didn't say anything, and waited quietly with Mu Qin for him to speak first.

It was already dark, I looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. Toad's three-day hunting period, it should be counted from twelve o'clock tonight, this place is not far from the villa, but it is not how remote, I really can't figure out why Hu Badao is so confident, and I believe that this Uncle Qiao has the ability to keep the two of us.

Uncle Qiao is still looking back and forth through the letters, and the emotions on his face are also changing subtly, from the grief and sadness at the beginning to the happiness now, which is really elusive.

Time was advancing minute by minute, and I still didn't know anything about his ability and arrangement, and my mouth was dry with nervousness.

Uncle Qiao seemed to notice my unnaturalness, glanced at me, and asked in a cold voice:

"Boy, Ah Ling Ken asked you to send a letter two years later, which means that you have a good relationship!"

I hurriedly replied:

"Yes, Aunt Ling is beautiful and kind-hearted, and we get along with the family."

Uncle Qiao nodded proudly when he heard this, just like I praised his daughter-in-law.

He carefully put the letter into his pocket, his eyes wandered between me and Mu Qin, and when he saw the sleeping white elf, he suddenly stopped and asked more meaningfully:

"I haven't seen you for so many years, I have forgotten what Ah Ling looks like? Did you click on the black mole on the left side of her face? ”

This question is also in the design of Hu Badao, I lamented in my heart that Hu Badao is cunning and cunning, and at the same time, corrected him and said:

"Uncle Qiao, you may be mistaken, Aunt Ling's black mole grows in the corner of the right eye on her face, and she said that the mole on her face can't be removed casually, which will affect her luck."

Uncle Qiao's sentence just now was obviously a temptation, and when he heard me say this, he nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"I see you've been flustered since you saw me, is there anything else going on?"

It was not too early, and after twelve o'clock I might be in some danger, and when I finally got to the point, I couldn't wait to reply:

"Uncle Qiao, when I was a neighbor with Aunt Ling, she mentioned you to us, saying that you are a good person and have great skills, to be honest, I poked the basket, in addition to helping deliver the letter, I actually want to avoid you for a few days."

Uncle Qiao didn't reply immediately, staring at me thoughtfully.

"Look at what scared you like this, this Lou Zi stabbed you a lot, right, running for your life?"

"Yes." I nodded in response.

Uncle Qiao suddenly laughed, stood up and patted me on the shoulder and comforted:

"Don't worry, just rely on you to send this letter, I have to help with this! You two can live here in peace, no one can enter my room! ”

Seeing that Uncle Qiao didn't ask about cause and effect at all, so he took it in one bite, but I felt a little guilty about his deception, and I was afraid that it would affect him, so I said:

"Uncle Qiao, I'm hiding from outlaws, look ....."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Qiao suddenly became serious, and waved his hand disappreciably:

"Let you rest assured, you can rest assured, even if the king of thieves is here, he can't enter my house without my consent!"

As he spoke, he confidently picked up the water cup and flashlight on the table, gestured outward, and said:

"I have packed a few ponds here, and I am also responsible for patrolling this forest, and there is a house in the back mountain, I will go there to live, and you two will sleep first." After saying that, he turned his head to leave.

I suddenly felt bad, and I went to great lengths to find him to save my life, but I couldn't get in without knowing anything, so I left Mu Qin and me here?

Just wanted to open his mouth to keep him, Uncle Qiao walked out of the door with half a foot and retreated, patiently repeating:

"Remember, stay in the house honestly." With that, he resolutely turned around and left.

There is nothing peculiar about this dilapidated house, there is not even a lock, how can people not get in?

Human life is at stake, so I can't be sloppy, just I can say it, but I can't put Mu Qin on it, I still want to ask for an understanding, so I went out with him, and Uncle Qiao was already gone.

The wind was blowing, and a cool breeze blew from the pond and into my collar, and I hugged my shoulders and shivered.

By the light moonlight, I looked around and was surprised to find that there seemed to be a huge shadow swimming not far from my feet!!
