Time seemed to stop at that moment, I and the third uncle stood under the eaves in front of the hall door, I was a head taller than the third uncle, the rain hit the brick house, ticking, the third uncle stared at me, his two eyes of different colors, directly opposite me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and one of my hands, on my waist, gripped the handle of the pistol. As long as the third uncle wants to call someone, or there are other abnormal movements, I will control the third uncle. This is the worst plan, the more low-key the better.

But by chance, the third uncle gave us two problems in a row. Just when I was so nervous that I was about to lack oxygen, the third uncle suddenly smiled, and he nodded to me with satisfaction: "Young man, he looks good, he is very young, I hope to make great achievements in the future." After the third uncle finished speaking, he turned around, raised his foot, and stepped into the threshold.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I noticed that Tang Yingxuan also breathed a long sigh of relief. Tang Yingxuan approached me and whispered to me: "Third Uncle doesn't take care of things very much, it's normal that he doesn't recognize you." "Indeed, looking at the appearance of the third uncle, he really doesn't know me. Tang Yingxuan had several droplets of water on his forehead.

I don't know if it's sweat or rain, at this moment, what we are most afraid of is that the third uncle didn't take off my sunglasses, and he had to take off Tang Yingxuan's sunglasses. It's normal not to recognize me, but if you can't recognize Tang Yingxuan, it's definitely abnormal. I put my sunglasses back on, and crossed the rotten wooden threshold with Tang Yingxuan into the hall.

The hall was damp and smelled of wood mold. Inside, whether it is the pillars, or the tables and chairs, they are all made of wood. These woods should all be used for decoration, because they have long since decayed to the point of being unusable. When we came in, the third uncle had already lit the candles in the house.

When we looked up, we saw that the roof of the hall was leaking, and several tiles had fallen off. The water on the ground dripped through the holes in the roof. The third uncle beckoned to us and let us pass, and he still complained a little: "The house is old, it can be renovated, and I don't know what the old one is thinking. ”

We didn't know how to answer what the third uncle said, so we didn't answer. The third uncle led us to the hall, but before he took two steps, the third uncle suddenly stopped. He turned around and asked something a little inexplicable: "Is it that you can't answer what I said?" ”

We also don't know how to answer the third uncle's question, so we can only keep our heads down and shake our heads from side to side. The third uncle sighed: "That's it, I'm used to it for so many years." The third uncle finally turned his body around again, he slowly walked forward, and continued: "I make flower tea, arrange flowers, and write by myself, which is also quite interesting, but there is no one to talk to. ”

The third uncle said a lot, but he was talking to himself alone. I cast an inquiring glance at Tang Yingxuan, and Tang Yingxuan motioned to me, the third uncle has always been like this, and he has seen it during the time he followed the third uncle. I looked at the back of the third uncle walking slowly, and suddenly felt that he was a little lonely.

"I have no one under me, let alone any of them. Finally, a few years ago, Xiao Xuan followed me, who knows, he doesn't know his whereabouts now. The third uncle's hands were behind his back: "I always wanted to send someone to find Xiao Xuan by myself, and if I found him, I would secretly let him go, let him escape, and then tell everyone that he had been killed by me." However, everyone refused to let me go to find it, you see, this Liang Kuan and Xiaonuo went out to find someone, and if the person didn't find it, forget it, one person put his life into it, and the other was also dying, and it was a pity that such a beautiful little girl was dying. ”

Tang Yingxuan and I couldn't stop the third uncle from talking, so we could only listen quietly. Soon, the third uncle led us to the inside of the hall, and he pointed to a black cloth on the wall and asked us to take down the picture frame. If it weren't for the third uncle, I really wouldn't have seen that it was a picture frame, because I could only see the black cloth covering the outside.

This picture frame is hung on the wall, hanging very high, no wonder the third uncle just said that this place is too high for him to reach. Tang Yingxuan dragged a chair over me, I stepped on it directly, and just as I was about to touch the black cloth on the photo frame, the third uncle told me: "Boy, be careful, this photo frame is very important, take it off with the photo frame with the cloth, if it breaks, the old one will definitely kill you." ”

I frowned, nodded to the third uncle, and grabbed the edge of the picture frame under the black cloth and black cloth with both hands. The frame wasn't heavy, and the black cloth was still on it, so I took it off. I didn't get out of the chair, turned around slightly, and handed the picture frame to the third uncle. But the third uncle didn't reach out to pick it up, but stared at my face and asked a question that didn't match me at all: "Boy, this big night, the sunglasses just took off, why did you put them on again?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and stepped on. The third uncle didn't ask any more, he waved his hand to us, let us hold the photo frame first, and follow him. The third uncle took us out of this hall, and walked slowly on the way we came. The third uncle looked a little tired, he was walking slower than just now, but we couldn't rush him.

We said it was ten minutes to borrow, but it had already taken us fifteen minutes just to go back and forth, not to mention the time spent in the hall. The third uncle didn't feel the anxiety of me and Tang Yingxuan, and continued to walk slowly and leisurely. The rain suddenly became heavier, and the whole old house was filled with a mist and the sound of rain.

"Boy, how long have you been following Lao Qi?" I don't know if the third uncle is idle again, so he suddenly asked me a question.

My heart sank, and I was worried that the third uncle would notice the abnormality and start to test me.

I stubbornly followed the gestures Tang Yingxuan gave me, and said for a while: "It's been three years." ”

"Looking at some faces, following Lao Qi, everything is good, it's just too dangerous. He and the fourth child, I don't know what kind of enmity I can't resolve, I have to fight to the death, the two of them who have stepped into the coffin with one foot will naturally not do it, and when the time comes, it will be you who will be your subordinates. In the event of a fight, none of you can guarantee your own lives. The third uncle sighed and said.

I don't even know why the third uncle said this to me, but seeing that Tang Yingxuan looked like he was used to it for a long time, I didn't take it to heart. The third uncle is indeed a person who has no quarrel with the world, but he also has a lot of troubles, and after taking a few steps, the third uncle's feet cramped again.

Tang Yingxuan and I could only help the third uncle to sit on the guardrail of the aisle, and the third uncle didn't trouble us, he leaned down and rubbed his feet. Taking advantage of the third uncle's inattention, I secretly took a look at my watch, and we were separated from the seventh uncle, and it had been nearly half an hour. In order not to make the third uncle suspicious, the seventh uncle did not follow, so he could only wait in place.

The third uncle rubbed his legs for a while, and then stretched his waist again. This old man was quite interesting, he suddenly asked Tang Yingxuan again, why didn't he speak. Tang Yingxuan pulled the brim of his hat very low, and the third uncle couldn't recognize him. Tang Yingxuan didn't speak, because he was afraid that the third uncle would recognize his voice.

Tang Yingxuan didn't answer, and the third uncle was a little annoyed.

The third uncle's voice was a little deeper than just now: "That's it, don't embarrass you, none of the people in this house are normal!" ”

The third uncle said, reaching out to take my hand and support him to stand up. But he didn't grasp it accurately, and grabbed the black cloth covering the picture frame. With this pull, the black cloth was torn off by the third uncle at once, and the third uncle didn't sit firmly, and his back hit the pillar all of a sudden.

I hurriedly put the photo frame aside and helped the third uncle up. Pulling up the third uncle's clothes, he saw that the third uncle's back was red and swollen from the collision. The third uncle snorted a few times and asked me to leave him alone and quickly sort out the photos. I quickly leaned down again to pick up the frame.

Without the black cloth, I could see the picture on the frame, it was an old man. I was stunned, because the old man in the photo frame was clearly the old man with the lantern who took me out of the old mansion in the first place. When I was stunned, the third uncle picked up the photo frame for me, and said something that shocked me: I have been dead for 20 years, and I can't stand such a toss.
