Chapter 15 The Lag of the Times

As soon as the old ghost heard that we were going to Egypt again, he immediately jumped on the other end of the phone. **. said: "Damn, what a good buddy, Lao Tzu also has this intention!" I've been thinking about it for a long time, when are we going to go? ”

"Let's leave for Beijing!" I said to the old ghost, "Then I will book the tickets for my brothers in Beijing first, and we will leave when we arrive." ”

"No problem!" The old ghost agreed as soon as he could, and then asked me again: "Does Qian Cheng want to get a passport and visa over there?" ”

When Qian Cheng heard the old ghost ask, he hurriedly raised the two documents in his hand. I said to the old ghost, "He's all alive here, and now I'll cut you there." ”

"No problem! Now the headquarters of our army is waiting for your revolutionary advance team to move north! The old ghost said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "As soon as you arrive, we will send it to Egypt." Draw those Indian little Ah San one by one, and have to successfully rescue Comrade Wu Lisha and Comrade Qian Duoduo. ”

"Alright, don't be stinky, let's get down to business. We're going to have to 'swing north'! After saying that, I hung up the phone and helped him pack his things with Qian Cheng.

As I was about to leave his house, I suddenly remembered the original purpose of this visit. When he first arrived, Qian Cheng said that he had something to say to me. I asked him what he wanted to say to me. Qian Cheng patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about business!" You waited for me, I almost forgot the key thing. ”

After speaking, Qian Cheng entered the back room, as if he was rummaging for something. After a while, he came out with something like a canvas bag in his hand. I asked him what it was? He said. Let's go first, so you won't be able to keep up with the car for a while. On the way to the airport, I'll tell you again.

In this way, we decided on the spur of the moment to reorganize the "Iron Triangle" and immediately set off for Egypt.

Qian Cheng was on our plane to Beijing and took out the rucksack he had found. He took out an old yellowed photograph from it and handed it to me for me to see.

As soon as I saw this old photo, I was immediately shocked: I have this photo at home! That is, my aunt has always collected it, and my grandfather often looks at the group photo in a daze. I hurriedly asked Qian Cheng where did he get this photo?

Qian Cheng sued me. This photo is also his grandfather's. If you count the age. Older than his dad! Since he was a child, he often watched his grandfather often take this photo, look left and right, and then think about it for a long time.

As soon as I heard Qian Cheng say this, I was immediately surprised. Don't. Behind this photo. Is there really any secret to be hidden? Why do almost all the older generation have one? And it's all looking at this picture. It's like being cursed, in a daze, thinking?

I sue Qian Cheng and I also have a photo of this at home. Qian Cheng's surprise Cheng dΓΉ. Definitely not under me. Say, how is that possible? I hurriedly pointed to the center of the photo and told him that the third person was my grandfather. He immediately jumped up, pointed to the man next to my grandfather, and said, "This is my grandfather!" ”

The two of us were stunned! How could it be such a coincidence? It turns out that our ancestors had a certain intersection at a very early age. It's just that no one talked about it, no, it should be said that it was never mentioned. What's the secret? What's going on? Let everyone among them be deeply taboo and tight-lipped about this.

So Qian Chengcheng and I hurriedly said what deeds our grandfathers had in our memories, trying to find any internal connections and commonalities from the middle. However, since we are separated from my grandfather after all. And without seeing them with their own eyes, they returned to the West, and there are few memories of them. Therefore, it is not so easy to check correctly.

The most terrible thing is that the life deeds of my grandfather are basically learned from my father's mouth or the mouth of my neighbors. Therefore, very little is known about their true situation. In this way, there is very little comparison.

I only know that my grandfather used to be a scientific researcher who went abroad and was a pillar of the country. However, I don't know what the reason made him give up the "iron rice bowl" with good treatment. When I came to the countryside, I never asked about the world again. What is really going on in the United States? Except for himself, no one really knows.

And Mrs. Qian is too, who has done an investigation before. I don't know why, so I took the mountain and never went to the United States again. He even said that he never went abroad again.

After such a comparison, it seems that there is really something in common: that is, the two old men have engaged in scientific research. Moreover, in the same team. After returning from that trip to the United States, I have never participated in any of your similar activities. Even, from this business, quit forever.

As for the relationship between the two old people? Then it is unknown. Qian Cheng and I were not only surprised by these discoveries, but also conjecture and suspicion: Could it be that they did something unsightly in the United States at that time? Seeing that they are all so taboo, there must be an ulterior secret in them.

Talking about this, I remembered what Edward once said to us in Savannah: that we juniors are all arranged, and we are all pawns in the legacy of the older generation. Moreover, each of our ancestors has an unsightly criminal record. Even the family's property and wealth are unsightly black money.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little empty in my heart: Could it be that what Edward said was true? If what he said is true, then our fate is arranged. The wealth of our families is all dark money that cannot be seen.

The only consolation to me is that our family doesn't have much of a fortune. On the contrary, our family is considered a poor middle peasant. The only bit of barely enough money to make ends meet was also earned by my dad by running boats. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh again.

Qian Cheng asked me what I am laughing at? I told him everything I thought of him.

He also shook his head after hearing this, and said, "I don't think it's that simple! Perhaps, what you said about Edward was just talking nonsense, trying to frame our grandfather. Besides, our family's property is with my grandfather. Basically, they all sank to the bottom with the castle. Never again!

And, as far as I know, apart from an old house, our family doesn't have any property worth nostalgia for. What kind of illustrious family property he is talking about is nonsense! ”

I nodded, agreeing with him. At the very least, the analysis is reasonable.

Qian Cheng finally told me that there is one thing that must be done and checked: that is, when you arrive in Beijing, you must carefully investigate the situation of the old ghost's house. See if the old ghost house also has such a photo? If any. Then it shows that this thing is really strange. If that's the case. That's really worth scrutinizing!

I couldn't agree more with him, let's go to Beijing first. Whether it's an overt investigation or an unannounced visit, in short, pay more attention to the situation of the old ghost's house. If you can, it's a good idea to talk to the person in question. Let's find out. Of course. With our relationship with the old ghost. It is definitely not difficult to get close to Old Man Shi. However, if he never takes out the words in his heart, it will be difficult to say.

Anyway. I think it's a bit of a suspense! Because if Mr. Shi was also a participant, he would definitely not dig into our hearts. If he deliberately concealed the facts of the year, he would definitely not have been demolished by us hairy boys.

But until things are tried, any guesswork is futile. No one can guarantee what the result will be until you try it. The only thing I can do now is to silently pray that Old Man Shi will find out in his conscience, and he doesn't want to bring the secret behind this into the coffin. Before he died, he wanted to find someone to dig out his heart.

Qian Cheng asked me if I could break through from the old ghost father.

I said, "It's enough to do it!" If Old Man Shi really wants to hide it, it is estimated that the old ghost's father also knows very little about it. And, as far as I know, the old ghost's father doesn't seem to be interested in this. ”

After listening to my analysis, Qian Cheng nodded thoughtfully. But he insisted and let him try.

I heard him say that, of course, a hundred willing. After all, if there are many people and many paths, there will be one more answer.

Having said that, we will not say any more, rather than rest our eyes. I wanted to look at the long legs of the flight attendants, but somehow, the flight attendants on this flight didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as before. I don't know if it is related to the plane crash incident two days ago, and everyone's feelings are all about the color change of the "plane".

When we woke up, we were already at the Capital International Airport. When I got out of the airport, I saw the old ghost waiting outside the airport from afar. It seems that he is also eager to travel, and he came to pick up the airport early.

Without saying a word all the way, we took the car and went straight to the old ghost's house. The old ghost told us that we didn't get a ticket to Cairo that day, and it was estimated that we would have to stay at his house for half a day. Qian Cheng and I glanced at each other and understood each other, which is exactly what we asked for!

But this subtle "eyebrow flirtation" was still discovered by the old ghost.

The old ghost saw that there seemed to be something greasy between us, so he said, "Damn, it's only been a few days?" How long have you known each other, and you've been so 'affectionate'? ”

"Sentimental?" I looked at the old ghost curiously, trying to remind him that his words were not very appropriate.

Unexpectedly, the old ghost waved his hand and said, "That's right, it's 'full of feelings'!" This is one of the popular online words of this year, 2014. ”

I looked at him in amazement, and with a puzzled look in my eyes, he went on to say to me, "In the years we've been away, the world has changed dramatically!" Even talking and chatting online are not the same as before. ”

"Really? What's the difference? I heard that the old ghost seemed to have something to say, and wanted to explain something to us, so I followed his meaning and asked, "Please also ask the head of the history to make it clear!" ”

"I just like your studious drive!" When the old ghost saw that I was following his topic, he said with great interest: "Then I'll give my brother a few words today!" ”

Qian Cheng and I saw that the old ghost was going to start his "Century of Conversation", and looking at the momentum, it was estimated that he couldn't pull it back. Then he cheered up and saw what he could say.

The old ghost said smugly: "Now people on the Internet speak in a special Internet language, I will write a word, and I can stump you if I keep it!" ”

When I heard this, I was immediately unconvinced and said, "Oh? Although I can't say how proficient I am in Chinese, I have memorized the "Chinese Dictionary". Ordinary words, it's really hard for me! There is still some confidence in this. ”

"Good!" The old ghost saw that I looked extremely confident and full of confidence, so he immediately picked up a pen and wrote down the word "embarrassment" on the paper. After writing it, he handed it to me, and then said to Qian Cheng: "You are a person living in modern society, you are not allowed to participate, and you are not allowed to have any hints and hints. ”

After Qian Cheng looked at it, he smiled slightly. Looking at his appearance, this word seems to be very simple to him.

As soon as I looked at his watch, I relaxed. Because, my Chinese level is still above the average person. Otherwise, I'm not sorry for my title of "King of Literacy". This title mainly comes from a difficult word recognition contest held by the school.

However, when I saw the note handed over by the old ghost, I was dumbfounded. Money looks at it after looking at it, looking up and down, looking left and right, but I don't know it. Seeing the old ghost's smug appearance, I suspected that the old ghost had deliberately written words that were not there to fool me. So he said to him: "Damn, you write a word that doesn't exist at all, how can I guess?" ”

"How is that possible?" The old ghost said, "Absolutely save zΓ i!" ”

"Really?"

I couldn't believe the old ghost, so I moved my eyes to Qian Cheng, who was sitting next to me. Qian Cheng nodded at me and said, this word really exists. And, it is indeed popular online.

When I look at it, I still don't know it, and it seems that the composition of the whole character is unreasonable. shook his head and admitted defeat: "I admit defeat, I really don't know the word "embarrassment"!" What kind of word is this? It looks like a face. You might as well sue me directly. ”

"Haha, don't you know?" The old ghost immediately laughed when he saw me admit defeat, and said, "What a pity, you guessed close!" It is pronounced jiong, which means that people are very embarrassed and embarrassed. ”

"Fuck off! How can there be such a pinyin structure? I looked at the pinyin written by the old ghost and said unconvinced.

"Look, you're lagging behind, aren't you? What I'm saying is true! The old ghost said.

Seeing Qian Cheng, who was sitting on the side, nodding, I believed it. I can't help but sigh that I am about to be eliminated by this era and become a "lagging product of the times".

The old ghost said, what is this, now people are talking all: Lying groove, Niu Fork, Smecta; Kaisen, pop, mom......

Listening to these Internet terms said by the old ghost, I really have never heard of it. Immediately, one head becomes two large.

While we were talking, we arrived at the old ghost's house. (To be continued......)
