Uncle Seven is still the same, drinking wine at the wine table every day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he saw me coming, he hurriedly pulled me to sit, I said no, what did you call me to do? If you want to say that you want to tell me now, if you don't, I'll leave. Uncle Seven was holding a wine glass in one hand and stroking his forehead with the other, his face was slightly red, obviously a little drunk. I watched him bow his head and say nothing, and I felt a little irritated, and I wanted to slam the door and leave this goddamn drunkard's house.
Uncle Seven is famous for drinking, as long as he drinks, he can drink a few bottles of old wine, especially when he drinks, he will not stop if he is drunk. Every time I came to his house, he would stick to me like a toad and ask me to drink with him. Every time I was drunk, he drank until he vomited, he slept on the wine table, and his mouth called "Lihua, Lihua, my Lihua" every day
I asked him, who was Lihua, he held it for a long time, the whole person almost suffocated to death, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "My Lihua, my Lihua"
After talking to him for a long time, he never told me who Lihua was, but I could see from his eyes that every time Uncle Qi was drunk, he called "Lihua, Lihua" every day, and Lihua must be very important in his heart. Especially like Uncle Qi, a rich boy who comes to open his mouth for food and stretches out his hands for clothes, he is still an old bachelor in his thirties, which girl likes it.
That's right, people like Uncle Seven, who run to the YE store every day, don't know how many women are under him, which woman follows him, and Qiao Qiao, who can't die under him. As his nephew, my seventh uncle, she is my father's only younger brother, every time I persuade him, tell him not to drink so much wine every day, and, when I have time, go to a nearby house to see if there is a suitable mother-in-law for you, now that you are old, if you don't marry your mother-in-law, I'm afraid you have to be an old bachelor.
Uncle Seven said disapprovingly, you know a fart, our family has money, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to marry a wife.
I said: You are not young anymore, you don't care if you are young, you will regret it when you are old, you can't just have money.
After talking for a long time, Uncle Seven's nature was changed, but at least it was relatively peaceful these days, and he didn't go to molest the women of other families. However, Uncle Seven didn't know what was going on this time, so he called me to come to his house, just to drink?
Uncle Seven lowered his head on the wine table, and said without raising his head: "I heard that you have an ancient scroll at home?" ”
He asked me, looking a little weird, and looked up, hoping I could tell him. I just lifted my feet out of the door, and when I saw him ask this question, I was shocked at that time, how did Uncle Seven know that I had an ancient scroll at home? I wondered, more puzzled.
I turned my head, pretending to have listened to the Book of Heaven, and shook my head: "Where is my family?" What does this do, you ask? ”
As Uncle Seven said, my family does have an ancient scroll left by the older generation, I heard my grandmother say before, inside this scroll is a buried place that records treasures, this scroll except for me and grandma, my father knows about it, no fourth person knows, even my mother doesn't know, because this scroll is my family's heirloom, inherited from generation to generation, has been passed down for thousands of years, more than ten generations of single transmission to the present, never leaked outside the slightest rumor, the origin of this scroll is unknown, All I know is that this scroll is important to my family, otherwise I would have kept it and never sold it as an antique.
Uncle Seven patted his brain, suddenly thought of something, and quickly said to me, "Do you want to steal treasures?" ”
"Treasure theft, what treasure theft?" I didn't seem to understand what Uncle Seven said, and as soon as I finished speaking, I said: "Is it like my grandfather before, traveling all over the country, looking for treasures in the world." ”
The seventh uncle smiled: "You kid old melon seeds are not too stupid." ”
"I've never been stupid." I glanced at Uncle Seventh and said lightly, "You want me to steal the treasure and want the ancient scroll that my family inherited?" ”
"Yes, yes." Uncle Seven nodded vigorously at me, squeezed his eyes, and said: "That scroll is indeed a treasure, your grandfather, that is, my uncle, when he was young, accidentally found an ancient scroll in an ancient cave in the process of a treasure hunt, on this scroll clearly recorded the burial place of a treasure, in order to find the treasure, your grandfather ......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Seven seemed to pause a little, he sighed, and said to me: "It's a pity that there are only a few words scribbled on that scroll, and there is no detailed record of the location, and the sky above that scroll is outrageous, except for a black and black circle, there is nothing else, and the white one is like a tofu block." ”
"What? You won't blind your dog's eyes, will you? "Seeing Uncle Seven say this, I remembered my grandfather's scroll, in fact, the truth is not the same as what Uncle Seven said, I remember the content on the scroll clearly, the scroll not only has scribbled ancient characters, but also has dense drawings on the scroll, those pictures are depicted with grinding ink, beautifully carved, lifelike, like a beautiful product. Uncle Seven obviously said something wrong, I wanted to refute it, but I was thinking that it was my seventh uncle, and I was afraid that if I said him, he would feel uncomfortable. I still have to say something, so I tried my best to make it sound good, walked in front of Uncle Seven, stretched out a hand on his shoulder, and kindly advised him, hoping that he could correct it, the treasure theft thing is too dangerous, and I don't know if I will get into a dead end one day.
Uncle Seventh is a monk who can't figure out his head, and I kindly advised him, but he listened with his left ear and out of his right ear, and didn't listen to me at all.
"You little baby, your grandfather stole treasures for decades, was arrested by the police several times, and squatted between the numbers for a month without quitting, look at me." Uncle Seven glanced at me, knocked his hand on the table, and said, "Since I entered this job, I have been thinking about how to make a fortune every day. ”
The more Uncle Seven talked, the more energetic he became, so he simply moved a stool and sat on the side, telling me about the past of treasure theft. When he talked about my grandfather, I asked him, "Did my grandfather really disappear from Doghead Mountain in Jizhuling?" There has been no news of him for decades? ”
Uncle Seven wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket, but as soon as he reached into his pocket, when he saw me asking about his grandfather, his hand twitched obviously, and the corners of his mouth were flat like bean sprouts: "Your grandfather ......"
Uncle Seven's face changed instantly, and when he saw me talk about his grandfather, he seemed to be a little scared, as for why, I don't know, I felt a little wrong with his face, because Uncle Seven is a more dirty and straightforward person, no matter what he does with him, what he talks about, so that he can also understand, treat anyone the same, others ask him anything, he will truthfully summon him, just like a prisoner, what to say, answer honestly.
However, this time, when Uncle Seven saw me ask about my grandfather's past, his body shook obviously, and he didn't even know that the cigarette in his mouth fell on his nose.
"Oops, it hurts." Uncle Seven frowned, stood up from the stool in an instant, and hurriedly shook off the cigarette butt on his nose with his hand. After working for a while, he sighed, and then he told me about his grandfather.
He told me everything that happened to my grandfather, and he told me about it for nearly two hours before he stopped. Uncle Seven's words are not too true, because he is not clear about his grandfather's affairs, as for the things he just told me, all of them were told to him by his grandmother, he was still a doll at that time, and he was in the first grade of primary school, although it was not big, but it was not small, he had just become an adult, and he still knew a little bit of things.
I always have a question I want to ask Uncle Seven: "Uncle Seven, can you tell me how Grandpa died." ”
Uncle Seven shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know how your grandfather died, and I don't know if your grandfather is dead or alive, after all, it was decades ago, your grandfather did go to Goutou Ridge in Jipaw Mountain back then, but whether he was in distress in the cave, or something unexpected happened, in fact, I don't dare to guarantee it, because it has been decades, and your grandfather has never come back after going to Goutou Mountain to steal treasures, it is estimated that ......"
Uncle Seven said this, he didn't dare to go down again, I watched him talk, he looked very honest, Bacheng didn't lie to me, in order to get his own thoughts, I asked Uncle Seven again: "Then do you know where Doghead Mountain is in Jizhuling?" ”
When Uncle Seven saw and asked about this, he immediately became interested and said, "You kid want to go to Goutou Mountain?" ”
"Yes." I nodded and said, "I want to know exactly where my grandfather was killed in Goutou Mountain, although after so many years, I will never give up looking for my grandfather's whereabouts." ”
Grandpa is also my relative, I think how great he was when he was young, great makes me deeply proud of him, since my grandmother told me about my grandfather's experience when he was young, I admired my grandfather's five-body throw.
When Uncle Seven heard this, he stayed silently and lit a cigarette, spit it out, and the smoke rings came out of his mouth and nose, enjoying the endless consumption brought to him by the smell of smoke. He looked out the door, his eyes on the flowers and trees outside the door, and the old picture still made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
"More than 20 years, it's all over, it's over......" Uncle Seven muttered to himself, tears flowed from his eyes, I looked at Uncle Seven like this, it seemed that when I asked about Grandpa, he was very painful, could it be that there was any ulterior secret between Uncle Seven and Grandpa?
Thinking that Uncle Seven was hiding from me, I broke the casserole and asked, "Uncle Seven, do you know how my grandfather died." ”
The dream last night was like a night wandering god in my heart, although it was just a dream, but what he brought me was very real, I would never believe that it was just a dream, and my grandfather would dream of me, so there must be something to hide from me. Perhaps, grandpa still has unfinished business, or some wishes.
Uncle Seven was still dumb, sitting on the stool silently, and when I asked him, he ignored him. I told him a few times, but he still didn't tell me, I turned around, walked straight up to him, and looked down at him condescendingly.
At this time, Uncle Seven was like a beggar begging along the road, waiting for someone else's choice, I looked at him coldly, as if I wanted to see him through. After a long time, Uncle Seven shook his head at me, didn't look at me, got up and walked into the room, he was depressed like a ghost, I wanted to ask him, he left me the last word: "Since you want to find your grandfather, then follow me to Dog's Head Mountain in Jijialing!" Maybe your grandfather's death, after you get to Kotoushan, all the truth will be known.
"Where is Kotou Mountain?" I was puzzled.
"Pack up your things and come with me tomorrow morning, at the corner of East Street Avenue, I'll be waiting for you at that noodle shop." Uncle Seven finished his last ass remark, ignored me for half a minute, closed the door, and I stood outside his door in a daze, hesitated for a while, and the matter was settled.
I think Uncle Seven must be wishful thinking. I don't know how I got back to the pawnshop, I don't know what time it was to eat, or how late I went to bed.
