The two found a hotel, opened a room, and fell asleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Qin Lai woke up the next day, it was already noon, and when he saw that Zhou Zheng next to him was still sleeping, he quickly woke up Zhou Zheng and said, "Hurry up, aren't we going to find our little father?" Zhou Zhengyi was busy shouting badly, because the two of them drank and forgot that Su Xiaoxiao's father said that he would take Xiaoxiao away early this morning. The two hurriedly washed their faces and brushed their teeth and went out directly to the hotel where Su Xiaoxiao lived, but they were still a step late, and when they arrived, the waiter said that Su Xiaoxiao's family had checked out early in the morning, and they didn't know where they went. The two of them drooped their heads and walked out of the hotel, and sat down to eat a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop opposite, Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered: "Aren't Uncle Su and that Professor He from the same school, let's just go to the school to find it." Qin said, "You don't know what Professor He's name is, how to find it?" ”

"You are stupid, don't we know the name of the little one, first ask if anyone knows Su Xiaoxiao's father, and then ask if you know Professor He? Now that I still have some money to support, I will take the opportunity to figure it out," Zhou Zheng said.

Qin Lai thought about it for a while, otherwise he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to find it next time, and the two of them suddenly had the motivation again, and quickly finished eating the noodles and went directly to the school where Su Xiaoxiao's father used to work.

When the school doorman asked, the young security guard shook his head and said that he didn't know, but after Zhou Zheng's ID card registration, he was very enthusiastic to help Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai guide the way to the archaeology department. The two walked to the office building of the teacher of the Department of Archaeology, because it was the summer vacation, and there were almost no people, so they finally found two people and asked if they knew a teacher surnamed Su who used to teach here or a professor surnamed He shook their heads and said they didn't know. The two couldn't help but wonder, if Su Xiaoxiao's father was not known, it would be good to say, after all, after walking for so long, why Professor He was not known, but unfortunately the two did not ask Professor He what he looked like, and they couldn't describe it. The two of them walked around the office building a few times and didn't find anyone, so they could only walk back stupidly, and when they walked downstairs, they saw a gray-haired old school worker who was taking care of the lawn downstairs, and the two walked forward and thought about trying their luck, Zhou Zheng asked: "Uncle, can I ask you personally?" The old man didn't raise his head to take care of the lawn and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Do you know that there was a teacher surnamed Su here more than ten years ago, and he had a daughter named Su Xiaoxiao," Zhou Zheng said and saw that the old man didn't respond for a long time, thinking that there was no drama, and he was ready to leave with Qin Lai.

"What are you looking for him?" The old man finally spoke, but still didn't look up.

When Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai heard that there was a play, they hurriedly squatted down next to the old man and said, "Uncle, you know, we are little friends, I want to inquire about a colleague of Uncle Su surnamed He, do you know him?" ”

The old school worker finally stopped, looked up at Qin Lai and Zhou Zheng, and then stared at Qin again: "What are you looking for him?" Raising their heads, Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai saw the appearance of the old school worker clearly, it is not too much to say that it is an old man, he looks like he is over seventy years old, but his spirit is not bad, unlike the kind of person who does dirty work all year round, he has a literati atmosphere.

"Uncle, we have something very important to look for him, if you know him, please tell us where he is, thank you," Zhou Zheng felt hopeful.

"You're here for the little ones, aren't you? What should come will always come, and the time is almost up. I don't know if the last two sentences were for Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai or to themselves, anyway, the two of them heard it, and the two knew that they had found the right one: "You are Professor He, right?" At first, the two thought that Su Xiaoxiao's father's colleague should be about the same age as Su Xiaoxiao's father, but they didn't expect that there was such a big age difference.

The old man stood up, packed up his tools, turned around and prepared to leave, Zhou Zheng hurriedly took the tools in the old man's hand and helped hold them, the old man didn't say anything, just walked forward, and the two hurriedly followed behind.

The old man didn't speak along the way, and the two didn't know what to say, so they followed, and walked out of the school gate until they walked into a residential building next to the school, the door number at the door of the building showed that this was the school's faculty residential building, a seven-story apartment without an elevator, but it was obviously old, the two followed the old man to climb the dim corridor to the 7th floor, the old man looked good, and he didn't stop in the middle, Zhou Zheng was a little tired and panting, look at Qin Lai, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, Zhou Zheng felt a little envious.

The old man opened the door and let the two into the house, the house was not big, it was a two-bedroom house, but it was very clean and tidy, and the living room had no light, which seemed a little dim. There was no one in the house, and there was only the old man's shoes at the door, so it seemed that the old man usually lived alone. The old man asked the two of them to sit on an old but clean-looking sofa in the living room, and went to wash their faces and change their clothes. Looking at the old man after changing his clothes, he is an old professor, wearing thick glasses and plain clothes. After changing clothes, the old man turned out a yellow envelope after rummaging through the cabinets for a while, and then sat opposite Qin Lai and Zhou Zheng, and did not speak, but handed them the envelope in his hand, Qin Lai reached out and took it, Zhou Zheng leaned over to take a look, the envelope was obviously old, it was an old-fashioned brown paper envelope, there was no postmark and stamps on it, and there was not even the name of the recipient, obviously it was not sent, but the opening of the envelope was well sealed, and it should not have been opened. The two opened the envelope, and there was a piece of paper inside, and when they took it out, there was an address written on it, and there was nothing else, and the two looked up at the old man, expecting the old man to say something.

The old man looked at the expectant eyes of the two, sighed and said, this is a gift from him shortly after the family left, leaving only one sentence: "One day when someone comes to ask about a small matter, give it to him, I think today is the time, if I don't come again, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until that day, and finally fulfilled a wish." "This is obviously the Mr. Yin and Yang he is talking about.

Zhou Zheng heard the old professor say this and hurriedly said: "Old man, you are in good health, it is not a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years, but I want to ask, what did he say in your ears back then, why did you let Xiaoxiao leave Xi'an." ”

"The letter has been given to you, you can ask him for yourself what he said back then, I am also tired and want to rest." The old professor said.

"And what's his name?" Zhou Zheng asked. The old professor didn't answer, waved his hand to let them go, it seems that the old man is indeed tired, maybe he is relaxed, as if he has completed a task for many years and let go of the pressure in his heart, it is time to rest, the two did not disturb the old man again, and walked out of the old man's house with the letter given by the old man after saying goodbye to the old man. Although Zhou Zheng and Qin Lai didn't ask anything, they didn't gain anything, at least they got the address.
