Chapter 8: The Second Uncle Goes Missing

By the time the master's teaching was over, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and our master and apprentice walked down from downstairs, but we saw that the second uncle and Qingyue Taoist priest had made a large table of food at some point, and their faces were red from drinking, and their eyes were foggy.

"Two drunkards!" The master laughed angrily, stroked his stomach and smiled: "I'm hungry too, it's so fragrant, I haven't eaten the food here in Jinan for a long time." ”

I walked over with the master, sat at the dining table, and the four of us chatted while eating, until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, this miniature family banquet was over, I and the second uncle originally wanted to keep the two seniors, just recently nothing happened, take them around to play, who knew that the two masters claimed to have something important to do, and it was inconvenient for me and the second uncle to stay, so we sent the two away.

"Boy, how much kung fu have you learned?" Back at the antique shop, the second uncle sat on the sofa and asked me with slightly drunk hazy eyes.

"Fur's fur ......," I smiled wryly, "I guess I won't be able to use it in my life." ”

I'm telling the truth, I don't have much chance to fight with others, even if I fight with others, if they are a little better than me, my slow and not necessarily successful tricks are basically the same as nothing......

"Well, practice hard, don't embarrass our Gu family!" The second uncle simply lay down on the sofa and fell asleep......

I shrugged my shoulders and hurried to clean up the mess on the dinner table, and there was a tinkling sound, and by the time I was done, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

The second uncle woke up and sat on the side watching TV, and I sat at the counter thinking about a question: why can what I think in my mind affect what the other party does? I asked Master before, and Master only said that because the two places of the spiritual eye and the pupil are connected to the micronervous system, or the brain system, which can affect human sleep, it is easy to make people in a state of sleep or semi-sleep by affecting these two places.

It's just that even with this explanation, I find it a bit unbelievable.

I was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that someone was wandering at the door, because the second uncle was sitting with his back to the door, he couldn't see it, I hurriedly turned my head to look, but saw a familiar figure standing in the corner of the door, looking at the antique store with his neck stretched.

I sighed, got up and walked out.

"Zhao Jing, why are you still in Jinan?!" As soon as I went out, I asked the girl at the door.

The girl was Zhao Jing, with a ponytail and a pink and white sportswear, and when she saw me come out, her face was suddenly full of smiles, but when she heard me ask, her smile seemed a little embarrassing: "Oh, that, I've been working in Jinan...... A few days ago, I saw that your store has been closed, and I thought something had happened to you, and I was off duty this afternoon, so I came over to take a look, that, the glass is black, I can't see the inside from the outside, and I am embarrassed to go in......"

I said "um", looking at the blush on Zhao Jing's cheeks, maybe because I often came and went in the rain and wind when I was a child, and if I looked closely, I could see the fine lines left by the chapped cheeks, even if it was the first time I saw her, I could see that this was a child with a poor family background.

"So many things happened a few days ago, I thought you would go back to your hometown." I smiled wryly and said: "There are no relatives of yours here, you are alone, and there is no one to rely on, a girl, after experiencing those things, she must be very scared in her heart." ”

"I didn't go back......," Zhao Jing said subconsciously leaning towards the corner, glancing at the store, as if she was embarrassed to be seen by others, and then whispered: "I'm in Jinan, I can feel that you are by my side, that's all, I'm not afraid." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was an indescribable taste in my heart, and after a pause, I still said: "Zhao Jing, between us, I am sorry for you, but even if something happens, I didn't mean to, not to mention, I was not sober at that time...... I told you before, it's impossible for me to be with you, I have my own lover, and I don't want to delay you, I still hope that you can go back to your hometown, be by your family's side, care for each other, find a lover as soon as possible, get married and have children......"

"I know!" Zhao Jing suddenly interrupted me with some stubbornness: "I know, didn't I also say it, I don't ask you for anything, we are friends, that's all." ”

"Then ......" I was a little speechless, "then what are you going to do?" ”

"You don't have to." The smile on Zhao Jing's face disappeared, replaced by a kind of arrogance unique to girls: "I have my own plans, don't worry, I won't disturb your life." ”

After that, she took out a gift bag from the small backpack behind her back and stuffed it into my arms: "It's late autumn, it's cold, this, I knit it, wear it, I'm leaving." ”

She didn't give me a chance to reply, she turned around and left quickly, and soon disappeared into the sea of people in the cultural market......

I sighed heavily, looked down and opened the gift bag, and found that it was a gray scarf - this was the second girl to knit a scarf for me besides Xiaoxiao......

I shook my head slightly, looked up and went back to the store, but suddenly I caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures, and hurriedly turned my head to look, but I couldn't see them anymore, and those figures disappeared into the crowd......

I frowned, although our antique shop has been under the watchful eye of others for more than a year, but it has never made me feel in danger today...... I looked around again and saw nothing suspicious, so I walked back into the store.

"Who?" The second uncle saw me talking to someone outside the door for a long time and asked.

"A classmate." I said.

"Female!" The second uncle turned his head to look at the gift bag in my hand and said with a playful face.

"What's going on?" I scowled: "Can't there be any female classmates?" I'll go to Xiaoxiao's place, and you can eat by yourself at night! ”

The second uncle had a playful smile on his face: "Will you come back to sleep at night?" ”

I glared at him with a bitter face: "If you bring me an aunt to sleep in your house one day, I won't come back!" ”

"Phew! Stinky boy! Nothing big or small! "The second uncle made a gesture to get up and beat me, and I ran upstairs with a smoke.

In the evening, I had dinner with Xiaoxiao, and walked around with the strong man, and then slowly walked to the antique shop.

At nine o'clock, I walked back to the antique shop along the cultural market that was no longer empty, but I found that the door of the store was closed from the outside, and the second uncle seemed to be out of the house.

This makes me a little puzzled: the second uncle rarely goes out to meet customers, under normal circumstances, going out is to exorcise evil spirits or travel far away, close friends, usually have anything to do directly to the store, at this time, the second uncle went out, a little surprised.

I took out the key and opened the door of the store and walked in, turned on the lights in the store, and looked around, the store was as clean as new, and it was normal. Looks like he may have been drinking with a friend.

I didn't care much about it, I went upstairs to take a shower and play games for a while, but the time was already eleven o'clock, but the second uncle still didn't come back.

Drink like a fish?! I frowned, the thing I hated the most was that my second uncle was drunk outside, and I picked up my phone to call my second uncle, but I heard the phone ringing in the front hall downstairs!

Broken! Something happened! I hurriedly rushed downstairs, and saw the second uncle's mobile phone lying quietly on the sofa, which happened to be where the second uncle usually sat watching TV.

"Damn, where's the second uncle?!" Although I have all kinds of doubts about my second uncle in my heart, he is my only relative at this time after all! I scolded, walked to the sofa and picked up my second uncle's mobile phone, flipped through the call logs, but there were no clues.

If the second uncle goes out, he will not bring his mobile phone, because once there is business in the store, he must be contacted, even if it is not for business, in order for me to be able to contact him as soon as possible, the second uncle has never gone out without a mobile phone!

It seems that there are only two possibilities: one is that someone directly kidnapped him; The second is that things are too urgent to take away the phone at all! But if it's the second case, how can the second uncle find a way to leave me some clues, or notify me, just disappear out of thin air, I can't die in a hurry!

I looked around and there was nothing unusual in the store, about the same as when I left, so it was probably the first possibility!

There are not many people who can kidnap the second uncle quietly and directly, and there are not many people in the whole of China! I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't think of anyone who would kidnap my second uncle at this time!

I flipped through my second uncle's mobile phone, thinking about whether to call the seventh master and ask, there was such a big thing, there was no one around me, so I had to find someone to discuss!

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the door, and I hurriedly hid behind my chair and looked through the gap towards the doorβ€”the entire cultural market was almost empty at night, and I could hear even a fly flying outside the door.

There was only a small light in the hallway in the front hall, which was not lit, but it was just enough for me to hide well.

After a few breaths, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the door, wearing dark clothes and a mask, and the face could not be seen clearly, but the figure was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

I was frowning and thinking in my head, when suddenly another figure flashed, and this figure swept by, as if it had lightly patted the first person, and then, two people on tiptoe, quickly disappeared into the street......

Who the hell is it?!

I'm a little nervous in my heart, if only the Qingyue Taoist and the master were still there, now that even the second uncle is gone, and I'm the only one left in the huge antique shop, how can this happen?!

Seeing that the door was quiet, I slowly stood up, and was just about to walk over when a "click" of footsteps came......
