Chapter 113: Little Octagon
The taxi drove for more than an hour before it reached the location that the blind man had said.
The blind man said before that the identity of the octagonal was a well-known professor of the archaeology department in China, so Wu Yi always thought in his heart that such a noble person lived not only in a mansion but also in a high-end villa area, but at this time he got out of the car and saw that it was not.
In front of it is a very ordinary courtyard, and two miniature stone lions are placed at the gate. The two wooden doors painted with red paint were not opened in broad daylight at this time, and the fat man was not afraid of heaven and earth, so he grabbed the copper ring hanging on the wooden door and knocked on the door.
The blind man looked a little nervous and cramped, the former friends were all sincere friends, unlike most of the current friendships established for their own interests, so the blind man was a little shaken with excitement at the thought of seeing his old buddies and brothers immediately.
It didn't take long for the door to be opened, and to the surprise of the three of them, it was not an old man who opened the door, but a twenty-four or five-year-old girl.
"You are ......"
The girl asked with a gentle face, and her voice was quite crisp.
"Oh, that, we're here to find the octagonal old-timers, and ask the girl to introduce you, just say that an old friend of his in Yunlai County came to him to catch up!"
Wu Yi said with a smile.
After listening to this, the girl thought for a few moments and then blinked at the blind man with big eyes, her eyes flashed brightly, and she smiled politely,
"You are the blind predecessor of Juyunlong, who is incognito in Yunlai County, which Grandpa Octagonal often mentioned! Come in, come in, come in! ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly and politely led the three of them in, and the fat man grinned in the back,
"What? Ju Yunlong? Blind man, your name is really unkind. ”
The blind man smiled a little embarrassedly and said,
"When the old man was not blind, he also had some kung fu, and the best thing was a swallow light skill, and then thanks to the brothers at that time, he gave us the nickname of 'Juyunlong'. Now that I think about it, it's just a laughing stock when I was young and frivolous, fat man, Wu Ye, don't squeeze the old man with this matter. ”
Entered the main hall of the room and sat down, the girl poured tea and served fruit, she was really polite, and she was decent and generous in speech and demeanor, quite educated and qualified, Wu Yi and the three of them had a good impression of her, and the fat man sighed again and again,
"Hey, this highly educated girl is different, what's wrong with Xiao Wu, if you fall in love with us, let the blind man be a matchmaker for you, with his friendship with the octagonal old man, there is a chance that this matter can be taken down! In today's society, if you are beautiful and can be so knowledgeable, you can't even pick up a lantern to find a second one! ”
Wu Yi looked at the girl who was still busy rummaging through the cupboard, and hurriedly lowered his voice and scolded,
"You him. Mother. Why isn't there a right line? If you talk like this, if the girl hears it, then you won't have to turn our faces on the spot! Don't talk about it, let's ask her to invite the old man octagonal out first, let's ask about the things on the human skin map, and then think about other files! ”
At this time, the girl also came over with a box of tea canned tea, and after adding it to the three of them, she sat on the chair next to her with a smile.
The blind man's palms and backs of his hands were sweaty, and when he thought of seeing his old brother soon, his heart jumped like a drum, and when he heard the girl sit down, he hurriedly asked,
"Well, little girl, the old man hasn't asked you who you are?"
The girl laughed,
"Blind senior, you are really, listen to grandpa, my name is still the one you gave!"
The blind man was stunned when he heard this, I gave it? After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Cai patted his thigh and smiled,
"Haha, more than ten years ago, the octagonal brother said in a letter to the old man, 'get a granddaughter', and asked the old man to help him give the girl a new name. The old man thought at that time that the octagonal brother had always been alone, and he didn't even have a granddaughter who had no heirs? I thought he was joking with the old man, so I casually replied to him, 'You are the old octagonal, the granddaughter might as well be called the little octagonal', what, is the old brother of the octagon really called you that? ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said,
"My parents were both students of Grandpa Octagon, but they both died in an accident, and I was taken in by Grandpa Octagon from that day, in order to allow me to come out of my previous life, he asked you to give me a nickname, just Little Octagon. My previous name...... Not to mention it, I also like the name Little Anise. ”
When the blind man heard this, he couldn't help but sigh,
"Hey, the octagonal brother has always been kind-hearted, girl, you can meet him after the incident, and you should have this blessing! Okay, I don't know where the octagonal brother is now, and he hasn't come out yet, could it be that he went out to investigate? ”
Xiao Octagon's face showed a somewhat lost look, sighed, and said,
"Hey, blind senior, I won't tell you, Grandpa Octagonal...... He died just after the end of the year last year. ”
The blind man got up from his chair and asked in disbelief,
"What! Passed away? This ......"
Little Octagon hurriedly ran over to help the blind man sit down slowly, and hurriedly comforted,
"Blind senior, don't be too excited, about Grandpa Octagon, you must also know what he did before, you also know what he did before, you are also very relieved when he died, saying that they can have such a good end, it is not easy to come by."
The blind man trembled and took a few sips of water, and the tea flowed onto his clothes, and he didn't know it, and only after being quiet for a long time did he sigh heavily and said,
"Girl, I bother you to go to the grave of the octagonal brother when you have time, he has no children and no daughters under his knees in his life, and his life is really hard! Since the octagonal brother is gone, then the three of us won't bother......"
Wu Yi also saw that the blind man really didn't want to stay in the land of the old man anymore, and he was afraid that it was touching the scene, so he didn't say anything, and followed the blind man to the door. It's just that I'm still a little disappointed in my heart, this trip was originally to find Octagon to help him decipher the information on the human skin map, but I didn't expect that Octagon was dead, it seems that the plan to ask for help from Faqiu Tianguan can only end here, and if you want to crack the information on the human skin map, you have to find another way.
All of a sudden, the road ahead became pitch black again, and I didn't know what to do.
Xiao Octagonal kept three people in the back, but the three of them knew that it was pointless to stay longer, but the blind man would add to his sorrow, so he didn't want to stay longer.
It wasn't until the three of them walked to the gate and were about to go out that the little octagonal suddenly shouted,
"Blind senior, the three of you are here to ask about the ancient tomb, right?"
