Chapter 406: Inquiring
The lead-colored clouds outlined the sky in a spectacular way, as if you could touch the thick dark lead clouds as soon as you stretched out your hand, but it also seemed that the house was getting darker and darker.
Zhang Mao's family is very familiar with Lao Wu, in fact, there are only two rooms in one room in total, and they meet everywhere, but this is also a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and Lao Wu still feels good when he lives in this west house. If you want to talk about the east house where Zhang Mao lived, Lao Wu was just in the process of catching Wen Shenglian last time, and Wen Shenglian said that there were ghosts in the house, so Lao Wu went in once. At that time, it was very dark, in fact, I couldn't see anything, at most it was a small earthen kang, and the bedding on it, but the strange rancid smell made Lao Wu particularly impressed, because it was the smell of moldy corpses in the tunnel, and when he came to this house again, he was a little cramped, and he didn't even dare to hide when he sat on the side of the kang, like the little daughter-in-law who went to her mother-in-law's house for the first time.
But when he followed Jiang Nan into the house this time, Lao Wu lowered his eyes and found that the house was much cleaner, mainly because the old bedding on the kang was gone, and some of the furnishings were basically gone, and it was naturally clean when it was empty, but the ash in the house was still very large, and it seemed that Jiang Nan had not cleaned up carefully after he came back, and it seemed that he had cleaned up in a hurry, and there were a few strings of fragmentary footprints on a layer of thick ash on the ground.
Lao Wu suddenly noticed one thing, the footprints on the ground in this room showed a few that he stepped on when he came in, and the rest should be Jiang Nan's, but the footprints of the footprints are particularly strange, basically the places where the activities are in front of a wooden box in the corner of the wall, and it seems that he followed the footprints of the door to go out, but this box can't get in, so what are you busy working in front of the box?
Just as Lao Wu was staring at the feet on the ground in a daze, Jiang Nan was sitting beside him, very close to him. When Lao Wu came back to his senses, he turned his head and startled him, and he almost didn't fall off the kang, this panicked reaction caused Jiang Nan to cover his mouth and laugh again, the crescent-like eyes at this time were very good-looking, and they looked particularly harmless.
Lao Wu glanced back at the oppressive sky outside the window, he swallowed his saliva and smiled a little stiffly: "Sister." What are you asking me? If I knew, I would have sued you. ”
Jiang Nan didn't speak, but looked for Lao Wu's gaze just now to look at the footprints on the ground, suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he instantly returned to his usual appearance and said to Lao Wu: "Brother Ang, since they are not outsiders, then I will say it directly if I have something to say, do you know that there are many stalls in our village on the way to the county seat?" ”
Lao Wu noticed something, but he still didn't quite understand, so he nodded and said, "This, this knows!" We eat there a lot! Why do you ask this? Are you hungry? ”
Jiang Nan pursed his lips and laughed. Keeping a smile and staring at Lao Wu's eyes, he asked him, "Then do you know a person who sells noodles and soup with a Shaanxi accent?" Can he be in his early forties, oh yes, he always wears a hat, do you know? ”
As soon as this sentence was said to sell noodles and soup with a Shaanxi accent, Lao Wu unconsciously took a breath, and the person Jiang Nan actually asked was Liu Hao.
Lao Wu lowered his head to prevent Jiang Nan from seeing his expression, and his eyes rolled wildly, thinking about why Jiang Nan asked about the Liu hat, but he couldn't figure it out. I don't know what the truth is in this, but I put away my expression and raised my face and pretended to be puzzled: "Oh! You said Liu hat! I know that man! What's wrong? ”
I heard Lao Wu say that he knew. Jiang Nan's eyes widened a little, although he was still very subtle, he was a little anxious and said: "I think you should be able to know Brother Ang, but in fact, it's nothing, he is a relative of my hometown, this is not me coming back from my mother's house, someone asked me to pass a message to him." But his noodle stall is gone for some reason, and no one knows where he went, so I just wanted to ask you, Angkor, do you know where he went? ”
looked at Jiang Nan's handsome appearance and the words that popped out of his mouth. Lao Wu's face slowly turned cold. This Liu hat is actually a fellow countryman with him, they are all from Tumen Town, but Lao Wu left when he was young, and he didn't go home much, he didn't expect this Liu hat to join the army, and he was also a member of the 16th plan of the Kuomintang army. But this Jiang Nan said that he and Liu Mao are relatives, so Lao Wu can't verify it, because Jiang Nan is not very old, almost the same time as Lao Wu came out to wander, even if they are neighbors, it is impossible for them to see anything, there is no problem from this sentence, but it is definitely not normal for her to want to find Liu Mao to pass the word, there is a problem here.
Lao Wu's palms were a little sweaty, in the dim room, the two people who were very close looked far away and a little blurred, Lao Wu took out a cigarette from his pocket in order to hide his nervousness, took out a cigarette and dropped it on his mouth, and wanted to touch the match in his pocket, but he didn't bring it with him, and when he was thinking about where to put the match, suddenly a flame appeared in front of him, and scared Lao Wu, and he went back to hide and hit the wall, staring at the flame getting closer and closer to him, and finally stayed on the cigarette butt in his mouth, Lao Wu subconsciously took a puff of cigarette, but he choked and coughed, and tears and snot suddenly flowed all over his face.
"Angkor, what's wrong with you?"
The surroundings suddenly lit up, Lao Wu wiped the tears and snot on his face with his sleeve, soured his nose and squinted his eyes, it turned out to be the cigarette that Jiang Nan had lit for himself with the match he had just struck, and also lit the candles on the table by the way, but the light only stayed around the table, and the back of Jiang Nan, who was standing at the table with his back to Lao Wu, was mapped onto the kang, leaving a figure, as if it was a person lying on the kang.
This strange sight attracted Lao Wu's attention, he sniffed, and looked at the figure that seemed to be lying next to him in a daze, but suddenly the figure's head turned, and then moved to him. Lao Wu raised his eyes and found Jiang Nan standing in front of him, looking straight at him with a pair of big eyes, his eyebrows were very delicate, the face of this difference in light and shadow was very white, and it could even be said that it was a little pale, it was like a female paper man.
"Angkor?"
Jiang Nan tilted his head and pursed his lips and asked Lao Wu with a smile, and raised his hand to touch him.
Lao Wu couldn't stand it at this time, he jumped on the kang with a low howl, and squatted in a corner of the kang with his shoes on, panting and sweating all over his face, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his fingers, only then did he see that the smoke had burned to the root and burned his fingers, so he quickly threw it out, covering his fingers and blowing non-stop.
Lao Wu suddenly realized something, and his movements stiffened, and he slowly raised his head, and he was face to face with Jiang Nan, and his big eyes still reflected Lao Wu's own reflection. (To be continued......)
