Chapter 2 Finding Relatives
Soon Mr. Wu came out with an envelope, the envelope looked a little old, and he didn't know what it contained.
The old dean took the envelope, put it on the table, and poured out all the contents of it, a white wrench, the kind of jade wrench that the rich and noble liked to wear on their thumbs in ancient times, an old yellowed photograph, and a letter.
In the photo, a middle-aged couple, holding a month-old baby in their arms, the couple is dressed very plainly, this dress is 80s clothes, but the two have happy smiles on their faces.
Seeing this photo, the four of them were puzzled, "What is this?" Wu Liang was the first to speak, because looking at the person in the photo, he vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Wu Liang, in fact, it was the couple in the photo who sent you to the orphanage at that time." The old dean saw Wu Liang's doubts and slowly spoke.
This time, Wu Liang was stunned, could it be that the middle-aged couple in the photo were his parents.
"Are they my parents? Then why did they send me to an orphanage? "For a long time, his own life has been Wu Liang's biggest heart problem, why would his biological parents leave him.
"I don't know, but I remember that it was already night, and this couple sent you here and handed you over to me in this photo, with a white jade wrench and a piece of paper with your name and date of birth written on it." The old dean looked at Wu Liang with a look in his eyes as if he was reminiscing.
"You know, like this situation, the orphanage will not take you in, I told them at the time, this is illegal, it is to go to prison, the woman knelt down for me at that time, and kept saying that she begged me to take you in, the man looked scared, looked panicked, shouted the woman's name a few times, saw that the woman was still kneeling there, stepped forward and pulled the woman up and left in spite of my obstruction." Speaking of this, the old dean picked up the photo.
"You were a year old when I sent you here, and you see that although the couple in this photo looks very plainly dressed, they are in good spirits and smiling happily, but do you know what they looked like on the night they sent you? Both of them are a lot thinner than in the photo, and they are very haggard, and the most important thing is that the man has been in a panic, feeling like someone is chasing him. Putting down the photo, the old dean looked a little tired.
"Originally, I was going to call the police, but when I saw that you were one year old at the time, you didn't cry, just stared blankly at the direction they left, so I didn't call the police as soon as my heart softened, and I took you in."
The old dean's words caused an uproar in Wu Liang's heart, which made him feel calm for a long time, and he also thought about finding his biological parents, but he didn't expect that when he heard about the process of his abandonment, he felt so uncomfortable and a little hateful.
"Dean Chen, why didn't you tell me these things before?"
"Alas, you kid, you have been introverted since you were a child, and you have always been stuffy in your heart when you have been hit and bullied, we are really afraid that you will be sick, if you tell you, you will definitely be cranky, so I just haven't told you." The old dean paused and continued
"I've been thinking all these years, maybe I should tell you, I don't want to take this thing to the coffin, and it's very unfair to you."
Wu Liang's face was cloudy, and he wanted to try to pretend to be calm, but his trembling hands betrayed him.
Looking down and thinking for a while, Wu Liang seemed to have made some decision.
"Dean Chen, then you know my father...... What is the name of the middle-aged couple? ”
"They didn't tell me their names, and when I asked them if they were your parents, they didn't affirm or deny it, but the man called out the woman's name when he was urging her to leave, and the woman's name was Xu Hong."
"Xu Hong? Do you know where they are from? Wu Liang continued to ask.
"In fact, in those years, I also privately asked someone to investigate, at that time, the household registration system was far less developed than it is now, and it was too difficult to find someone with a name, but I have an old friend, who happened to be in the Public Security Bureau, and in those years, I intermittently found out a few pairs of women named Xu Hongnan's surname Wu, and I also went to verify a few, but they were not."
Wu Liang has some regrets, but he can look for it himself if he knows the name, and he must solve his heart problem.
The old dean seemed to see Wu Liang's thoughts, "If you want to find it, I have some information here, this place is actually the most likely place in my opinion, but because the orphanage was to be replaced at that time, so this matter has been put down, I didn't expect this to be almost ten years, recently I only turned out this envelope when I was tidying up the study, but I am old, and this place is relatively remote, so I have a weak heart." ”
As he spoke, the old dean got up and went to the study to take out another envelope and handed it to Wu Liang.
"This is the information of the mountain village and the couple, you should be able to use it if you want to find it."
As he spoke, he picked up the envelope on the table again, put all the wrench photo paper in, and handed it to Wu Liang later: "These things should also be returned to their original owners." ”
Wu Liang took it and quickly thanked him.
After getting the information, Wu Liang couldn't sit still anymore, and the four of them got up and refused the kindness of the old dean and his wife to stay for dinner, and went downstairs after saying goodbye to the old dean and Mr. Wu.
Wu Liang sat back in the car, looking at the photo without saying a word.
Zhu Yitian took the envelope from Wu Liang's hand and looked at it, the female Xu Hong, and the male named Wu Wanjin. In Damu Village, Jinlong County, it is more than 600 kilometers away from here.
"Why don't we get together for a trip." Wang Lung, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke.
"Forget it, this is my business, so I won't delay you."
"Talk about it, what do you think of us, brothers' business is our business, not to mention such a big event, if you really find a happy event, won't you let the brothers be happy together? Isn't it Boss Zhu, if you don't have time to talk about it earlier, let's just accompany Liangzi. Xu Chen also came, and made fun of Zhu Tiantian by the way.
"Less, I'm a small workshop at best, and then such a lively thing, I can't do it without me, I'm the wisdom of a few of us, if you don't have me, you can't find a place, now the first task is to find a place to eat, and set off after eating." The old pig shook his hair angrily, causing everyone to retch.
Wu Liang was deeply moved in his heart, this is a brother, needless to say, everyone came together.
Zhu Yitian now has opened a small advertising company in Shenzhen, which is the best among several people, Wang Long, he opened an antique shop, he loves to read history books when he has nothing to do, thinking about when he can pick up a leak and make a fortune, but it has been tepid, Xu Chen has engaged in a second-hand car sales by himself, and is ready to go down the road of second-hand car dealers, the worst thing to mix is Wu Liang, who has made breakfast by himself and set up a barbecue stall is yellow, and then simply closed the stall and went to work.
Zhu Yitian drove the car, the four of them talked and laughed along the way, in the direction of Jinlong County, Wu Liang was a little excited in his heart, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that something bad would happen on this trip, but under the gags of several people, he didn't think so much.
It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Jinlong County, and the four of them found a restaurant with few people, and they were going to find a place to rest for a night after eating, and set off again the next morning.
When the proprietress of the hotel saw that business was coming, she hurriedly beckoned them to sit down and brought the menu.
After ordering, Wu Liang asked the proprietress about Damu Village by the way.
"Boss, isn't Damu Village far from here?" As soon as Zhu Tiantian opened his mouth, the boss's wife's face changed.
"Young man, are you going to Damu Village? Listen to my advice that the evil sect in that place is very evil, and you can't go there! ”
"What's going on, what's the matter?" As soon as the four of them became interested when they heard this, Zhu Yitian hurriedly asked.
"I've just heard that village is haunted!" The proprietress looked mysterious.
Zhu Yitian smiled when he heard this, he is a staunch atheist, how can he believe these words.
"Really, I didn't lie to you, you may not know if you ask a young person, but you can just find an elderly person to ask." The proprietress was a little anxious to see that Zhu Yitian didn't believe it.
"Okay, let's serve the food quickly, let's just ask casually, don't go there and find someone in the next village." Zhu Yitian saw that the proprietress was a little anxious, and said something without wanting to argue with her.
"Okay, but really listen to me, it's really hard to go there." After the proprietress finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to urge the vegetables.
"Is this Damu Village really so evil?" Wu Liang was a little uncertain, coupled with these bad premonitions along the way.
"It's a haunt, it's all rumors, how can there be a ghost in this world? Do you know what people in my company call me? Call me the living Hades, if there really is a little imp with long eyes who bumps into me, then I won't twist it into a twist and fry it. Zhu Tiantian said with a nonchalant expression.
"There are so many things in this world that can't be explained, and what you haven't seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Wang Lung on the side spoke.
"What's the matter, have you collected antiques and harvested gods?"
"Old pig, don't talk about it, hurry up and eat, you will know if you have to see it, what else can scare us if the four of us are together?" Xu Chen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, hurriedly played a round.
After the four of them finished eating, they found a hotel to stay in.
