Anyway, everyone is already here, and I can't go home without any effect. So I still had the courage to ask an aunt who was walking out of the village.

"Auntie, I want to ask, where does the old gentleman who lives in this village, who sets up a fortune teller stall in Qingfeng Lane in the city, live? Oh, the one who takes twenty bucks every time. ”

The aunt was warm-hearted, and quickly stopped, and said to me: "His house is in front of you, you go inside, and then turn to the left, the house is on the side of the road, or the mud house." There are not many mud houses in the village, and you can see them when you walk in. ”

I hurriedly thanked him. Head inside. The roads in the village are concrete, and as far as the eye can see, they are all two-story or three-story brick buildings. The new houses in the countryside are all in this pattern, just like the house where Zong Sheng and I live now.

It's a bit difficult to find a mud house in one of these small buildings. This view will be blocked by the small building, where can you still see the mud room?

I asked a few more people, and I guess he still has a lot of people in the village who respect him. Although it is the age of science, these old gentlemen are generally respected by others. Even young people, if they don't believe it, they will at least give it the respect they deserve.

Finally I stood in front of the mud room, which was a small courtyard washed out of the mud. The walls of the courtyard had fallen, and only a half-broken door frame remained. Inside was a mud house, very old, with a large room, a door, and a wooden window on each side. When I was a child, I grew up in the village, and I knew that this kind of house was at least from my grandparents' time. It's decades before our family's previous mud house.

I muttered, "He's poor enough." A person who goes to the street to set up a stall lives in such a house. ”

My words were heard by a lady passing by, and the gray-haired lady said, "He is not poor." He is not from our village, the grandson of this family is filial and takes the old man into the city. The old man is still dead outside, no one wants this house, and his grandson is the master who sold it to him. Twenty thousand! He pulled it out at once! ”

In the countryside, it is really difficult to take out 20,000 at once. To build a house, many people take out loans, and then slowly repay them, and take out 20,000 yuan at once, of course, it is surprising.

"Auntie, do you know the uncle who lives in it to help people tell fortunes?"

"My house lives next to him, why don't I know? He's just a person, sometimes stupid, but he's rich, he eats meat, and he smokes well. Even if you come back with a meal bought outside, it's the kind of braised pork. Everyone said that he had the ability, and he must have been a master master before, and he made a lot of money, but something happened to him to hide in our small village. ”

"Oh, so, auntie, thank you. I'll go find him first. ”

He didn't know what was going on for the past two days, so he drank in the house and didn't go to the street to set up a stall. In the middle of the night, I was still drunk and screaming. ”

"Thank you, auntie." I walked inside, and at the same time I heard what the lady said: "What to shout, he is not surnamed Niu, he doesn't know Mr. Niu." ”

My steps froze, and it seemed that it was really my problems that had caused him to be in trouble. This person must have a good relationship with that Mr. Niu, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about these things.

I walked into the mud room, and the light dimmed all of a sudden. There is only one offering table in the living room, on which is a portrait of the God of Wealth. There was also a small table against the wall, and on the small table, there were crooked wine bottles and a plate of peanuts.

Mr. Twenty Dollars had fallen asleep in the room, he must have been drunk, and it smelled of alcohol.

I was not a girl who could not go in, so after thinking about it, I put the glass bottle on the small table, and then tore off a piece of paper from the small notebook I carried with me, and wrote:

Uncle Twenty Yuan, I am Zong Youxuan, who has looked for you several times. This is the ash of a fetus whose hair, teeth, nails, and blood have been burned with a talisman. If you meet someone who really needs it, please send it out.

After writing the note, I pressed it on the table, and after thinking about it, I covered it with a large vegetable basket on the side, or it would be bad if the cat jumped up at night or something and knocked off the glass bottle. I originally wanted to ask him about Mr. Niu, but it seems that I can't ask today.

As I picked up the basket, I noticed a picture of the peanut dish pressed halfway down. It's been a long time since the photo was taken, and the whole photo was yellowed, and in some places there were even traces of the color being washed away due to watermarks. The photograph shows a little boy sitting on a threshold with a string of sugar gourds in his hand. Probably because of the nervousness of the camera, his expression was very nervous, his eyes were wide, and the whole person felt frozen.

The boy didn't get my attention, what caught my attention was the scene behind the boy. Behind the threshold, there is a relatively Chinese-style soft couch, and from the oblique angle of the door, you can see that there is a very special inverted incense tray on the desk. Isn't this Niu Lifan's pawnshop?

You can't see the sign of the pawnshop in the photo, but I think it's the pawnshop. I'm not sure, because the desk I saw in the photo is only one corner, and the incense is only one corner, so I can't see it clearly at all, it's just an intuition.

I looked in the room, except for the uncle's snoring, there was no sound at all, I took out my mobile phone, looked at the photo on the table, found a clear angle to take a picture, and took the photo.

I also deliberately took a few more shots. Then he gently exited the mud room.

I came out, thought about it, and turned back again. Under the basket of vegetables, twenty dollars were pressed up, and then it came out again.

By the time they took the bus back to the city and returned to Zong'an's office building, it was already their time to get off work. The clerks are all in the administrative class, and they commute to and from work on time. I was in the elevator in the lobby and waited for a while for the elevator to take me up.

It's just that Zong Dahong, who came out at the end, saw me, and his eyes were wrong. He walked up to me, and I quickly shouted, "Uncle." ”

"Humph! I'm about to call you hostess. Zong Youxuan, you picked up a good man. Zong Sheng's kid, I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and I didn't come to work by swiping my card, so I followed you to the bed. This time it will torment me, and it will be like this, and it will be like that. Am I his little secretary, or am I the errand boy in this company? ”

I smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, this, I, I'll tell him." He's just come back......"

"You're going to sow discord with me. What has come out of your mouth about this? Hum! He's still working overtime upstairs. Just let him go by himself, we're all going to get off work. ”

Zong Dahong left like this, I felt strange in my heart, he didn't want me to tell Zong Sheng, and he wanted to come to me, what did he mean? He's an uncle, so I can't talk to him like that.

From the elevator to the sixth floor, a string of offices have been turned off and closed. The office of the Lingling Building is still open and the lights are on.

I walked over gently, and in the huge office, Zong Sheng was alone, operating the computer, and the drawings of that kind of architecture appeared on the screen. I basically can't read it.

Before I walked to his side, he looked over first and said, "I don't think I can finish it tonight, you call Niu Lifan and ask him to take care of Shen Han and her mother." Shen Han's mother's surveillance can be lifted, and now she wants to take Shen Han away smoothly and we need our help, she will stand with us. ”

I answered softly, and walked out of the office so as not to disturb him. After making the call, I thought about it and ordered a quick snack downstairs. Zong'an Group has a lot of administrative classes working here, including lunch, but not dinner. Unlike hotels, which work 24 hours a day, there are three meals and supper.

I bought fast food, bought drinks, and after going upstairs, I sat in the corner of the office and watched the back of Zong Sheng's work. The last time I entered the old warehouse, I didn't even know the direction, it was a mess, and I didn't know which one was right. Watching him draw on the computer, dynamically promoting, he was able to demonstrate all the places we walked that day. I think he can still make changes when it's already complete. Men's sense of direction and space are sometimes really stronger than women's.

Looking at Zong Sheng's back, I forgot the passage of time and just looked at him quietly. It was only when he moved his hands that I realized that it was already past nine o'clock. Hurriedly said to him: "The food is cold, I will go down to bring you ......"

"There's a microwave in the pantry." Zong Sheng stood up and went to the pantry with the fast food. It's just the two of us, I'll look around and see how empty it is, so let's go with him. There's always the illusion that there's something hidden somewhere. It's as if when I sat in front of their desk, I didn't put my feet under the desk, and I always felt like my hands were sticking out from under the black desk and touching my feet.

The pantry was very small, and it was almost as long as a big man stood in Zongsheng, and I could only lean against the door frame and look at him.

While he was heating the meal and making tea, he asked, "Did you go to find that uncle today?" ”

"He didn't come out of the stall, I found his house." I told him about my side of the situation. However, at the beginning of the sentence, he had already come over, pressed me against the door frame, and whispered in my ear, "Aunt is here?" You smell blood. "When the eldest aunt comes, it means that the month is up as the doctor said. He really remembers.

My body stiffened, and it did come, but it was only the first day, was he a dog's nose? I pushed him unnaturally: "Listen to me, there is something important." ”
