Chapter 158: New Year's Day
When I got home, I called Lin Zihao first, wanting to ask him what was going on with the cement wall, but I didn't expect him to turn off the phone, and so did Li Yueyi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Could it be that his leave of absence has anything to do with this matter? Or are they avoiding me?
I said to myself, "Could it just be that I'm thinking too much?" ”
"Wang!" Xiao Jiu has been running around in my footsteps,
I picked it up and said, "Do you feel the same way?" ”
How could Xiao Jiu answer me? It just gasped with its mouth open.
I went to the park to play, Xiao Jiu made himself too dirty, so I carried it to the toilet, gave it a bath, and then used a hair dryer to dry it.
Carrying Xiao Jiu to the box and sleeping well, I cleaned myself up again, and lay on the bed before I had time to think about these things and fell asleep all of a sudden.
The next day, I called Jia Shiduo and told me about it, I was very surprised, after hearing the news, his tone was very calm, and he just said that he knew, the plan was suspended first, and I would do the things at hand first.
I called Lin Zihao and Li Yueyi again, but the phone was still turned off. I was a little worried, but I couldn't go to the Antiquities Bureau to find him, and even if I did, they wouldn't tell me the truth.
After that, I have been writing novels at home and playing with Xiao Jiu. Sometimes Shen Wuluo would call me and ask me to go with her for interviews, but it was something that had nothing to do with the pentagram.
After a long time, there was no investigation into the matter of the ancient coffin, and there was no news about the matter of Jiangtailou. We were just doing some ordinary horror stories, I asked her why she hadn't started the ancient coffin thing yet, and she said that because the time had not yet come, and the Jiangtai Building matter, the Cultural Relics Bureau was also involved, we had to keep a low profile for a while.
This period of low-key time has been two months, the weather has become cold, and Xiao Jiu has grown up a lot, half as tall as Jack. Jiang Yi and I often walk our dogs together, so we became familiar with each other and became friends.
My life has also returned to peace, and all the weird and bizarre things that I used to do before seem to exist only in my novels.
Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I even wonder if those things are just the plot of my own fantasy novels. But the photos and call logs on my phone reminded me that they weren't my hallucinations.
In the past two months, Lin Zihao and Li Yueyi have been in a state of disconnection, and my phone calls are always turned off. Even when Jiangtai Building was repaired, they didn't show up, and I couldn't help but go to the Cultural Relics Bureau and Li Yueyi's school to look for them, and the reply I got was to ask for leave. How could it be possible to take such a long vacation? Even if you travel the world, it's time to come back!
In the end, I can only admit that they did try to avoid me, and as for the reason, I think maybe they got some unspeakable news about these things, or they just didn't want to have any contact with me anymore.
Life is like this, no one can always be with you, we have to get used to others leaving for no reason.
Fortunately, the magazine only needs to deliver on time every month, and I don't have to go to the office every day, so I also have a lot of free time, so I often come to Uncle Qing's shop, only this place makes me feel that Meng Yingjiu really existed, because of him, I will know here.
Ah Zhi didn't like Xiao Jiu at first, for fear that it would break the things here, but later found that Xiao Jiu was very obedient and gradually accepted it.
Sometimes I come here with my laptop to write novels, and when I organize my thoughts, I think of the sweetness of the past, although I am not so sad anymore, but my heart is still empty.
But when I had to put the picture on paper bit by bit with words, I still felt too cruel to myself, so I kept stuck there and didn't dare to write anymore.
Looking back at the previous plot, I saw the ghost, in fact, I still can't figure out what it is, and I can't find a result when I search on the Internet.
I asked Ah Zhi if he knew about the Dragon? He said it was a monster from an ancient legend. I said I had seen it and asked him if he believed it? He calmly said he believed it.
"Did Meng Yingjiu tell you?"
Ah Zhi shook his head and said, "I've seen something like this that I can't believe. I asked him what it was, but he didn't want to say any more.
This made me even more curious about Ah Zhi's identity, and I asked a few times after that, but he was playing tricks and bypassing me, and I was no longer strong.
I took it to the store for a long time. I met a lot of people who came to buy or sell antiques, and I gradually became curious about these things, because Meng Yingjiu had been very interested in these things before. So when Ah Zhi was free, I pestered him and asked him to teach me the basic knowledge of antiques.
It's what he's good at, and he's happy to tell me about it. While waiting, I found a little fun, and life gradually became more comfortable.
Sitting on the carved stool that Meng Yingjiu once sat on, he always hoped that the bamboo curtain would be lifted, and the person who walked in was him, or Uncle Qing. But every time the bamboo curtain is lifted, it brings a moment of disappointment.
I haven't been able to get through Uncle Qing's phone, I think Ah Zhi must have other contact information with Uncle Qing, it is impossible for him not to contact his boss? But Ah Zhi said that this is the trust between them, Ah Zhi will not leave and can take care of the business, and Uncle Qing will definitely come back.
Ah Zhi's words also reassured me a little, at least Uncle Qing will definitely come back, and he will at least let me know if Meng Yingjiu is okay now.
Before I knew it, in 2016, on New Year's Day, my parents asked me to invite Luo Huan to eat at home, and I had to lie again that she was traveling. In order not to be too sudden in the future, I told them that Luo Huan might be getting married, so I got a few more frustrations and urgings.
At the regular meeting in January, Jia Shiduo was not there, saying that he was on a business trip. I asked Shen Wuluo if she had been low-key for so long, and she didn't start acting? She still said indifferently: "The time has not come." ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Actually, do you want to investigate these things at all?" Don't want to look for the underworld that your boss says? ”
At first, I was worried that if I didn't start and I didn't use it, would they still keep me like I used to? Later, my work became more and more handy, and I became a well-known editor of "Unknown" magazine, and there were still some fans on the Internet, so I was no longer worried, and my speech became the same as before.
Shen Wuluo looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and said, "Yes." Those outside the walls want to get in, but those inside the walls want to come out. ”
"What do you mean?" Doesn't this phrase describe marriage?
"If he doesn't find it, he won't give up, but now the time has not come, we can only wait."
I knew she wouldn't explain, and during this time, I asked her many times what the timing was, but she never answered, and I didn't ask again.
I thought that the comfortable life would continue like this forever, until the afternoon of January 19th, when I was writing a novel at home, I suddenly received a call from Xiao Zhang, he said that I had sent a package to the newspaper, he helped me sign for it, and asked me when I would pick it up?
"Who sent it to me? I've quit my job for so long? How could anyone send it there? ”
"It's ugly! I look at it, it seems to be called... Zou... Continent. ”
