Chapter 51: Uncle Hu
Before he could enter the room, he heard a deep baritone voice from inside, and laughed loudly:
"Lao Mu, I haven't seen you for so many years, is it because your legs and feet are not good? It's only a few steps, and it's so slow. ”
When my father heard Uncle Hu's words, he was not angry, but his feet sped up, and he opened his arms and collided with the majestic figure that came out of the hallway.
"Akiko, this is my house!"
The bodies hug together, but the mouths are merciless.
Uncle Hu didn't show weakness, and slammed his fists on his father's back, scolding and scolding:
"Didn't that little cub of yours still mess around with my house every day? Why, I come to your house now and you still don't agree? ”
The two big men finally let go of each other, and my dad pulled me and stood in front of Uncle Hu.
"You're lucky, the little bunny is back today."
When Uncle Hu saw me, his eyes lit up, he laughed heartily, and slapped my big rough hand on my shoulder.
"Little cub, do you remember your Uncle Hu? You peed in my arms when you were a kid. ”
Hu Kunming didn't know where to come from, and I was ashamed to hear it.
"Hahaha, Xiao Mu is still so shy."
Hu Kunming laughed again.
"Brother Hu, don't laugh at us, it's time for dinner."
As she spoke, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and a little flour brought out a pot of steaming dumplings from the kitchen and greeted as she walked.
"Mom!"
I screamed in delight and ran at my mom. Only in front of my mother, I can still be coquettish.
My mom put the dumpling bowl in her hand on the table, turned around, and looked at my son, whom she hadn't seen for more than a month.
"Good son, let mom see if you're fat."
Hu Kunming muttered to my father with some resentment next to him:
"Your son is so filial, look at that little girl in my family, I don't know how to go home for more than a year."
When my mother heard this, she raised her head and defended the children of Uncle Hu's family:
"Brother Hu, don't say that, Chengyu is promising, and people are busy."
Then he turned to me and said:
"Shi'an, do you remember your Sister Chengyu? People are studying in the United States now. ”
I had a beautiful girl in my mind. This Hu Chengyu can be regarded as my childhood sweetheart, although it is my sister, she is only a month older than me. For as long as I can remember, there has always been a girl half a head taller than me running after me. Even when I was practicing with Master, I always had to move a stool and hold my cheeks and watch at me. My master also said that if she didn't have spiritual power, she wouldn't mind taking another apprentice if she hadn't been bored by watching me practice for ten years. Later, when he was eleven or twelve years old, Uncle Hu's family moved to the provincial capital and never saw him again.
"What's the matter, it's a bargain."
Aunt Hu complained beside her, but it was difficult to hide her nostalgia for her daughter.
"Okay, Chengcheng will come back after she's done, I heard that studying in the United States is hard."
My mother comforted Aunt Hu, but set the dishes and chopsticks for them one by one.
"It's time to eat, and if you don't eat dumplings, it's cold."
A few of them were not polite, pulled out their chairs and sat down. My dad easily set wine glasses for himself and Uncle Hu, but Hu Kunming took out a bottle of white wine in a ceramic bottle from the ground and placed it on the table. The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Xiao Mu, are you an adult, do you want us to come together?"
Uncle Hu poured wine for my dad, but turned his head and smiled at me.
Before I could refuse, my mother became anxious, waved her hand again and again, and said:
"No, no, he's never drunk such strong wine, it's not good for his stomach, you two drink it."
Aunt Hu also persuaded on the side:
"You and Lao Mu have been galloping in the wine field for so many years, don't bully other people's Xiao Mu."
Uncle Hu was stunned by his daughter-in-law, so he stopped pestering and shrank back stupidly. I didn't expect this colonel-level officer to be so strict.
The two Northeast men drank by themselves, but the two women looked at me.
"Xiao Mu, tell me, are there any female classmates who hit the eye at school?"
Aunt Hu asked first.
"No, no, it's only been less than a month, how can it be so fast."
I waved my hand again and again, but I couldn't help but think of Xun Qingzi in my heart. I don't know when the next time she can think of me.
"Sister-in-law, haven't we been childhood sweethearts since childhood, see if you can develop it."
My mother is cunning and cunning, saying that she wants me and Hu Chengyu to develop, but her eyes keep glancing at me, as if she wants to read something from my expression.
"It's okay, you see that Xiao Mu is also a tall and handsome young man, Cheng Yu looks pretty good, the two are put together, it's quite a match."
Aunt Hu and my mother have been friends for many years, and they soon understood what the other party meant, and immediately echoed it.
Facing the singing and harmony of the two middle-aged women, I couldn't help but have black lines on my head, but Xun Qingzi's tall body appeared in front of me again, thinking about the bits and pieces of that week with her, and now it was such a thing, and I couldn't help but sigh.
My sigh attracted the attention of two middle-aged women, my mother was my mother after all, and she guessed what the problem was at the first time, took my hand, and asked with concern:
"Shi'an, if there is something to tell your mother, your mother has experienced a lot of things, maybe it can help you."
I looked at my mother's somewhat haggard face, opened my mouth, and still told the story of me and Xun Qingzi over and over again, although the details of the ghost collision were replaced by other made up stories, but the general experience and Xun Qingzi's attitude towards me now is still no different from reality.
After listening to my story, my mother and Aunt Hu were silent at the same time. Even though there were two big men drinking and bragging about the mountains next door, the atmosphere on our side was still eerily quiet.
"Shi'an, what are you going to do? Since you like that girl named Qingzi, are you so willing to give up? ”
My mom said slowly.
Hearing my mother's words, a flame of hope ignited in my heart, which was already like ashes. Yes, since I like her, am I really willing to let go like this? Can I really watch Xun Qingzi be embraced by someone else one day in the future?
"I ...... I don't want to let go either, but I'm going to annoy her if I'm in front of her now. ”
I said with a low voice.
My mother, however, lifted my chin with her hand, looked at me firmly, and said:
"Shi'an, you are a warlock, you should believe in the existence of Heavenly Dao, if you give up this marriage in order to save people, I believe Heavenly Dao will not agree."
Aunt Guo, who had been listening silently, also spoke:
"Xiao Mu, I think this is an opportunity, after all, you took this way to save her, although her soul consciousness is to treat you as an enemy, but in the deeper world, I believe that the human soul is able to distinguish who is good to themselves, cats, dogs can distinguish who gives them food, who expels themselves, how can people not distinguish? As long as her girl, Seiko, can remember a little memory of you, and the relationship between the two of you will grow by leaps and bounds. ”
Hearing the words of the two mothers, the knot in my heart gradually loosened. Originally, I had been entangled in the words with the ghosts, thinking that as long as I took that method, there could only be a hostile relationship between me and Xunqingzi in this life. But to put it mildly, ghosts are ghosts and not people, how can he understand the emotions between human beings? Indeed, theoretically speaking, anyone who invades a person's soul must be regarded as an adversary. But theories ignore the most ethereal element of human hearts, emotions.
The emotions between two people can make each other completely open to each other, and at that time, even if two souls are integrated with each other and intertwined, they will not turn against each other because of soul rejection. Although there is not much difference between humans and ghosts in terms of intelligence, they have an emotional relationship that ghosts do not have. In the hearts of ghosts, there are only two attitudes of trust and deception, but there are no other thousands of complex emotions, and in this regard, the relationship between the souls of two people is much more complicated than that of ghosts.
"Child, remember what my mother said, the relationship between people will never be a stereotype, maybe at a certain point, turning enemies into friends is just a matter of one or two sentences."
My mom patted me on the shoulder and said softly.
I nodded heavily, and secretly decided in my heart that after I go back, I must appear in front of Xun Qingzi with a dead face, and it would be best if she could recover her memory of me, and if she can't recover it, I will create another memory.
But seeing that the two men had already drunk three rounds on their side, but after all, they were Northeast men who had been drinking since childhood, and the two of them had a slightly red face, and there was no tendency to get drunk, but they both put down their wine glasses and looked at me a little drunk.
"You're drinking so much again!"
Aunt Hu complained.
Uncle Hu surprisingly did not refute it, but stared at me closely, and said:
"Xiao Mu, if I'm not mistaken, you're a warlock."
What he said was a surprise to me, not that I was surprised that he knew that I was a warlock, but that my neighbors knew about it since I was a child. I was just surprised that this officer, who was in the top echelon of the army, would suddenly bring up the matter of a warlock. It stands to reason that this kind of army leader, who is well-rooted, has always been blind to this kind of ghostly thing.
"I am, uncle, what's the matter?"
I nodded and asked again.
Uncle Hu nodded incomprehensibly, turned to my parents and apologized:
"Lao Mu, brother and sister, I'm sorry, this matter involves the secrets of our military, so I can't say it in front of you. Xiao Mu and I went out to talk in private. ”
Father and mother obviously understood Uncle Hu's distress, and did not hesitate, so they nodded and expressed understanding.
Uncle Hu stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and motioned for me to follow him out.
Walking into the courtyard, Uncle Hu glanced around vigilantly, and said in a low voice that only the two of us could hear:
"Xiao Mu, uncle may need your help with something."
"Uncle Hu, if I can help, I will definitely be duty-bound, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help too much."
I said quickly. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the military is involved, and it will be a little inconvenient to get involved.
Uncle Hu shook his head and explained in a low voice:
"No, that's the only thing you can help with."
As he spoke, he took out an encrypted military mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to me.
I took the phone, but the pictures on the screen shocked me.
