Chapter Eighty-Three: A Strange Suitcase
Remember [Lewen .la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
This situation made me frown, I had never heard the second uncle mention this matter, even the last time we entered the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom, the second uncle didn't reveal half a word, and I didn't even notice anything unusual. Looking back now, only the state of the second uncle when he left seems to have a deep meaning with the sentence he said to me, "live well".
In fact, not only that, but speaking of this, I remembered the photo that Sadiq showed me at the beginning, and now it is just corroborated with Nie Zhenyun's statement, the second uncle did enter the depths of Gurbantunggut alone twenty years ago.
I asked Nie Zhenyun, "Uncle Nie, why did my second uncle come by himself after refusing the invitation of the four major families again?" ”
Nie Zhenyun shook his head lightly when he heard this, "I don't know about this, and it's also something I haven't thought about clearly over the years." ”
"Since you know about this and think it's very strange, haven't you thought of asking my second uncle for clarification all these years?" When Sadiq showed me the picture and what he said to me, I was a little skeptical at first. But what Nie Zhenyun said was different, and the caution he mastered was even more conclusive.
Hearing me say this, Nie Zhenyun shook his head, "I also said that I and your second uncle are very good friends, last time he went to Xinjiang alone, but he didn't inform me through my territory, he must not want others to get involved, everyone has their own secrets, respect him and respect his ideas." Although he refused the invitation, the four major families had already withdrawn at that time, so it was not a bad rule for your second uncle to enter the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom later, and I had no reason to ask. ”
I nodded with a little disappointment, "You can resist asking, I can't bear it, the next time I see my second uncle, I must ask to understand." ”
Nie Zhenyun waved his hand at me, "Virtuous nephew, I think it's better to forget it, it's been twenty years since the incident." Actually, I'm too talkative, I shouldn't tell you this, your second uncle will probably blame me if he knows. ”
I knew what Nie Zhenyun meant, he thought that after I asked my second uncle for confirmation of this matter, the second uncle would guess that he told me about it, and he was worried that my second uncle would hate him for revealing these hidden secrets to me.
I said to Nie Zhenyu: "Uncle Nie, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, I won't tell you that my second uncle went to Gurbantunggut twenty years ago, and the last time we went there, I had already detected some clues, but I wasn't sure." What you said to me today is nothing more than confirmation of this matter. I know what to say, don't worry. ”
Nie Zhenyun smiled and did not speak.
I thought for a moment and then asked, "Uncle Nie, besides, did you find anything strange at that time?" ”
"This ...... Think about it," Nie Zhenyun pondered for a moment, "It doesn't seem to be anything, but if you talk about it, there is only one thing, and that is that your second uncle is carrying a large suitcase in addition to a backpack." It is said that when he goes out, he should travel as lightly as possible, and a backpack base is enough, I don't know why he still carries a large suitcase. ”
"What's in the suitcase?" I asked.
Nie Zhenyun looked at me, "With your second uncle's prudence and shrewdness, if he doesn't want to, how can others know!" However," Nie Zhenyun paused and said, "The guy who followed your second uncle at the time told me that there was a little white powder leaking out of that suitcase. ”
"White powder?" I was surprised, "It can't be drugs, but it can't be flour either!" ”
Nie Zhenyun smiled and waved his hand, "Of course not, it's lime!" ”
"Lime?" I don't understand why the second uncle's suitcase hit the lime, what is he carrying a suitcase of lime for?
Nie Zhenyun shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't have any ideas.
This is, Nie Chuan walked in, smiled at me, and then said to Nie Zhenyun: "Father, the banquet has been prepared, and you and Brother Ran can sit at the table." ”
"Good!" Nie Zhenyu patted his thigh and stood up, "Let's go, virtuous nephew, let's go eat!" ”
"I'm sorry, I've been delaying you for a long time." I also got up and waved my hand.
"Huh!" Nie Zhenyun reached out and grabbed my wrist and quipped, "What? Don't eat at Uncle Nie's house? Are you afraid that my food here will not be delicious? I'll pack you to eat it once and think twice, haha. ”
I had to smile and agree, and Nie Chuan also smiled and made a "please" gesture to me. I had no choice but to follow the Nie family father and son to the restaurant in the villa.
During the dinner, we didn't talk about the events of the year, and Nie Zhenyun told me about some of the strange things he had experienced over the years, which was also very interesting. This meal is very comfortable, compared to the upper echelons of the other three major families, Nie Zhenyun has a special temperament, which makes you inevitably want to be close to him, and he will give you an approachable affinity. I was in contact with him, and there was basically no pressure, so I was a lot less inhibited.
Of course, it has to be mentioned that the level of this meal is very good. The chef of the Nie family is really extraordinary, no wonder Nie Zhenyun is so confident in the taste of his own food.
Full of wine and food, the father and son of the Nie family originally planned to leave me to live at home, but I felt that I had already drunk an afternoon tea and eaten a big meal at someone's house, and it was really embarrassing to bother me any longer, so I excused myself and left with a friend.
Nie Zhenyun was not reluctant, and ordered Nie Chuan to arrange a car to send me back to the city.
Actually, I didn't have any dates, so I didn't have any destinations, and I wanted to go to find soybeans, but remembering his newlywed Yan'er, I dispelled this idea again. When I got to the downtown area, I asked the driver to pull over and got out of the car myself.
It was getting late, so I decided to find a place to stay and go home tomorrow. I searched online and found that there was a nice hotel nearby, just a few hundred meters away from where I was. Anyway, when I was full and idle, I walked in the direction of the hotel while walking.
At dinner, I ate a lot of dishes and drank a lot of red wine, and I felt a little dry at this time. I walked in when I passed by a supermarket, I walked to the shelf and got a bottle of mineral water, and when I turned around, I saw a gray-haired aunt pushing a shopping cart past. Her eyes were focused on the shelves on either side, not noticing that there was something white spilling under the cart.
I hurriedly stepped forward to remind, "Auntie, what did you spill in the car?" ”
"Huh?" She quickly picked up a few bags of vegetables on the shopping cart, and when she looked down, it turned out to be a foam box that was crooked, and the white thing over there turned out to be some broken ice scattered in the box.
As she put the foam box back on, my aunt said to me, "Thank you, young man. I bought a box of seafood, and I just asked the salesperson to fill it with crushed ice. ”
I glanced at the box and smiled, "You have too much crushed ice, how heavy it will be when you move it for a while." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, just load it in the car." Auntie waved her hand, "I have something else to do in a while, if I don't decorate the ice, the car is so hot, and when I get home in the evening, the seafood will stink!" ”
After checking out from the supermarket, I continued to walk in the direction of the hotel, but I always felt uneasy along the way, and I don't know why I kept thinking of the scene of the foam box spilling broken ice just now.
Walking through a junction, I was a little absent-minded. I didn't notice that the traffic lights had turned red, and a speeding car suddenly honked its horn, startling me. I quickly retreated to the sidewalk. But just the stimulation of this car horn, I instantly understood the reason for my restlessness.
