Chapter 5 Uncle Liu
After more than three days of 'dark' time, I am so excited to see the light again, and for the first time I feel that my eyes are so important. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info walked closer, raised his hand and pinched Leng Qi's face, hugged her and smiled excitedly: "I'm fine!" I can see it! Hahaha, I can see it!! ”
The mood calmed down a bit, and I realized that I was a little excited, and I was slightly embarrassed and quickly let go of Leng Qi: "Ang...... I'm sorry, I ...... I'm so happy......"
Leng Qi's cheeks also flushed slightly, and he turned around and walked into the kitchen with the dishes: "It's okay, call the bones and bald heads, and let them come back for dinner." ”
After making the call, I went through everything in the living room again, and still didn't find anything furry. Looking back, it seems as if my eyesight suddenly regained when I realized that it wasn't rum, but I was so nervous that I didn't notice it right away.
Half an hour later, Bones came back with Rum first, looked at me and smiled: "Lao Zhang, are your eyes really okay?" ”
I nodded: "It's fully recovered, don't worry." Where did you go with Rum, and you didn't see anyone all morning? ”
Where else could he go, squatting at the gate of the community and calling Xiaoxin's sister for a morning, and the two chatted for three or five hours. This great Inner Mongolia and Xi'an are not close, long-distance plus roaming, really when the phone bill does not need money! ”
As he spoke, the bald head also walked in from outside the door with a roast chicken, and slapped four tickets on the coffee table with a wave of his big hand: "The direct ticket to Egypt, the plane at six o'clock in the morning in four days, the bald man's efficiency is so high, let's prepare for these two days." ”
I took it in my hand and looked at it, and said it was a 'direct' ticket, but there was no direct flight at all. Arriving in Cairo, there are many things that need to be learned in order to successfully find the traces of crystal fragments. Now that the equipment and passport are in hand, the only thing left to prepare is to find the right route and arrange the itinerary.
The bone tore off a chicken leg and took a bite of it, and stuffed the rest into Rum's mouth: "What is Egypt, is it all human talk?" ”
The bald head shrugged his shoulders: "No matter what you say, we don't understand anything anyway, let's find a translator first when we get to the place." By the way, Leng Woman, do you know what people in Egypt say in bird language, do you know how to say it? ”
Saying that, he walked into the kitchen with a bald head, smelled the fragrance of vegetables, looked at a table of food and Leng Qi's busy figure with a surprised face: "I'll drop a grandfather, Lao Zhang, you can cook our dignified cold heroine yourself!" ”
Leng Qi put a cucumber on the cutting board, took out a kitchen knife and turned it around twice in the palm of his hand, glaring at the bald head: "Go out if it's okay, don't get in the way here!" ”
Looking at the kitchen knife that was whirring by Leng Qi's dance, the bald head stopped talking and returned to the living room in a gray manner.
Since the four of us came back from the Crystal City to live here together, Leng Qi has hardly cooked himself, and today I don't know if it is to celebrate the rediscovery of my eyes, or to boost morale before leaving, he actually prepared a whole table of dishes.
Her skills are much better than expected, originally we thought that with her background in the international special forces, although she is powerful and can write and martial arts, she is definitely not very proficient in cooking. Before the meal, I also quietly instructed the bald head and the bones to eat more no matter what the taste of the food was.
But when I put the first bite of food in my mouth, I was shocked, not because it was delicious, but because the taste was extremely familiar!
The bald head and bones also gobbled up, and his mouth was so full that he didn't even bother to say praise.
After a storm, the bald head wiped his mouth and touched his bulging belly with a look of satisfaction: "It's a big loss for Lao Qian to go back ahead of schedule today, Leng Woman, I want to be impressed by you again." ”
Bones also nodded again and again: "It's delicious, it tastes exactly the same as the dishes made by Miss Xiaoye!" ”
After saying this, the originally lively atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing, and everyone quieted down. The bald head glanced at me, and then stepped on the bone under the table: "So many dishes can't stop that big hole in your face!" Hurry up and eat! ”
Seeing that my face was a little ugly, I also knew that I had said the wrong thing, so I went into the kitchen with an empty bowl: "I'll go again...... Bowl of rice ......"
Although Xiao Ye's matter has been a long time, I still can't let go of it in my heart. The taste of the food made by Leng Qi is very familiar, and it is indeed very similar to Xiao Ye's craftsmanship. I felt it in the first bite, but I didn't want to let the pent-up sadness in my heart ruin the beautiful atmosphere.
Now that I'm broken by the bones, although I want to be happy and restore the joyful atmosphere, I find it so difficult. That painful sadness, so suppressed that I couldn't even force a smile.
After being embarrassed for a few seconds, the bald head laughed and broke the silence: "That ...... Cold Woman, you haven't answered what I asked you just now, what language do the people in Egypt speak? ”
Leng Qi put down the dishes and chopsticks, although he smiled, he could see that it was very unnatural: "I don't know, you eat first, I'll check it, and I'll come back to clean it up later." After saying that, he got up and walked into the study.
I also sighed, went back to my room and closed the door and lay on the bed in a daze, and I could still hear the bald head complaining about the bones: "Why are you a second goods, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, and a good meal is made like this!" ”
Bones was also very aggrieved: "Got it...... In the future, I won't be able to stop talking when I eat......"
………………
In the afternoon, I went to the bank to withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash and went to visit Xiaoye's parents.
Although half a year has passed, the two old men still have not come out of their grief, and their homes are full of various photos of Xiaoye from childhood to adulthood. Mother Ye washed her face with tears all day long, and she still didn't believe that her daughter was suddenly gone.
Father Ye is a relatively dull person, he hardly shows things out, he holds them all in his heart, and his hair has turned gray a lot in a few months. However, when they see me, they still smile and chat, asking about my recent situation.
I put 100,000 yuan in cash on the table: "I said, Xiao Ye is gone, I am your son, if you need anything in the future, just open your mouth." ”
Seeing this, Father Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "Child, it's not easy for you to make some money, how can this work, we still have a pension, we don't lack anything, take it back quickly, take it back quickly." As he spoke, he stuffed the money back.
I grabbed his hand and sighed: "You're welcome, I'm going to go on a long trip in two days, and I won't be able to come back for a month or a few months." You take the money first, try to take Mother Ye out for a walk, Xiaoye's unfinished filial piety, I will bear it! ”
Seeing my resolute attitude, Father Ye also sighed, his eyes were a little moist: "Xiao Rui, you are a good boy, Xiao Ye is not mistaken." It's just that her life is not good, and you have no chance in this life. Don't worry too much about us, just do your thing with peace of mind. ”
I chatted with Ye's father for a whole afternoon, and I got up to say goodbye in the evening, and walked back to the community.
Walking downstairs, I suddenly felt as if something was not right, every night at this time, the aunts dancing in the square dance in the community should have come out a long time ago, and the most dazzling national style also resounded around. But today, I don't know why, the community is surprisingly quiet, only a few unfamiliar faces standing downstairs in my house are discussing something with each other.
Since I didn't know each other, I didn't ask too much, so I walked around them and went upstairs.
When I walked to the first and second floors, I only felt that a dark shadow seemed to flash in front of me, and I subconsciously looked up and saw something squatting outside the window around the corner. It was pitch black, like a big black tanuki, and like a black garbage bag blown up by the wind.
Just as I was about to get closer to take a closer look, a figure slowly descended from the upper floor, blocking my view. I looked up and saw that it was Uncle Liu who lived on the second floor, so I opened my mouth to say hello: "Uncle Liu, are you going out for a walk so late?" ”
Uncle Liu looked at me and nodded slightly with a smile on his face, but did not speak.
I smiled back: "But your van should really be repaired, and the engine doesn't sound normal." Simply, tomorrow you give me the key, and I will help you repair it thoroughly, and thank you for borrowing the car in the middle of the night two days ago. ”
The smile on Uncle Liu's face did not change, and he continued to nod, looking a little stiff, and then passed me and walked down.
I shook my head and sighed: "Could it be that this old man also has a problem with his cervical spine?" It's really a person who comes to the door when he gets old and has any diseases. ”
Only then did I think about the black thing outside the window, but when I looked up and looked again, I found that there was nothing, and the window was clean inside and out.
Back in the building, Leng Qi was still in the room and didn't come out, the bones were trimming Rum's hair, and the bald head was lying on my bed sleeping Zhengxiang.
I chuckled: "The bald man knows that he will have to travel a long way in two days, and he is now recuperating." After that, I closed the door, went to the sofa in the living room, lay down, and used my mobile phone to go online to find out the route to Egypt and the news about the crystal shards.
So far, we've only seen a crystal that resembles a crystal fragment in the news reports brought back by the bald heads, and it's still uncertain whether it's a crystal fragment. Because it is foreign news, when I report it in China, I only talk about the Egyptian region, but I don't know exactly where it was found in Egypt.
I always had the feeling that finding the right path was much more difficult than finding crystal shards......
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to gradually darken, and just as I was holding my phone to check the cities in Egypt, a very noisy sound sounded from downstairs, and it seemed that many people were talking together, and there were even bursts of crying.
I frowned, put down my phone and leaned on the balcony to stretch my neck to check, only to see twenty or thirty people downstairs around something and talking about something, including men and women in their thirties and forties, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.
I squinted to see what was going on around the group, but I couldn't see it because it was too far away and it was too dark. However, he found that Uncle Li, who went out for a walk, stood not far from the crowd and watched quietly.
On the other side of the grass, the black mass reappeared, and I stared at it for a long time, and finally realized that it might really be a big black civet cat, curled up motionless, its fur black and shiny as if it had been smeared with oil.
Having been a reporter in the newspaper for several years, I have cultivated a strong curiosity, and the more I can't hear what the group of people are saying, the more I want to know, so I leaned on the balcony and shouted at Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, what happened?" ”
Hearing my shout, the group of people downstairs instantly quieted down, and they all looked up to check, with very strange expressions on their faces, looking at me as if they had seen a ghost.
Uncle Liu on the side didn't seem to hear my shout, and was still standing quietly staring at the group of people.
Being stared at by such twenty or thirty strangers, I felt a little furious in my heart, and I paused and left the balcony, only to turn around and see that the bones were also staring at me, and the expression was exactly the same as the group of people downstairs!
I subconsciously touched my face and looked at my body again, and asked, "What are you looking at, old bone, do I have dirt on my face?" ”
The bones swallowed hard, looking very nervous: "Lao Zhang, you ...... Your eyes...... How to turn green! ……”
