Chapter 10: She's Gone

I sat in the second uncle's tea room, drinking tea, thinking about this matter, I felt that the second uncle was like a big pit here, as long as I came here, I would be caught in some strange things!

But as long as I made up my mind not to get involved in these things, even if the Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin was printed on that page, it would be useless.

I made up my mind again, so that my heart also settled down, drinking tea, casually flipping through the magazines in my hand, thinking about where Kong Xue would take her to play for a while when Kong Xue came back, and I was not afraid of the big expenses, anyway, the 600,000 that Lantern Festival called me last time only used a very small part.

When I think of Lantern Festival, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I often ask myself if Lantern Festival finds me again, will I forgive him, maybe......

I shook my head, thinking too much to myself, maybe I really won't have a chance to meet in the future.

I looked at the time and found that Kong Xue had been gone for a long time, did it take so long to buy a magazine? I began to worry a little that Kong Xue was not familiar with this place, so nothing would happen, so I stood up and took out my mobile phone, and was about to call Kong Xue.

At this moment, the door of the tea room was opened, I glanced at it and knew that it was Kong Xue, I raised my head and wanted to make a joke, but suddenly saw that her expression was not quite right, I hurriedly put down my phone and walked over quickly, "What's wrong?" Are you okay? ”

Kong Xue shook her head and forced out a smile, "I'm fine!" ”

"Are you really okay?" I could see from her expression that this was not the case, "Then why did it take so long?" ”

Kong Xue lowered her head and said: "This book is very difficult to buy, I went to several newsstands, but I didn't buy them!" ”

Looking at Kong Xue's flickering eyes, I knew that she must not be telling the truth, but since she was unwilling to say it, I couldn't force her.

I smiled and said, "If you don't buy it, forget it." ”

We sat in the second uncle's tea room for a while, chatting intentionally or unintentionally. Later, I went to an international fast food chain to have dinner, and although Kong Xue tried her best to be relaxed and happy throughout the night, I could see from her eyes that Kong Xue had something in her heart, and she would be absent-minded from time to time.

In view of this situation, I found a hotel after dinner and settled Kong Xue to stay. In fact, we can live in the second uncle's house, but I don't want to do it, the first is because I really can't estimate the health of the second uncle's home at this time, if the second uncle is busy, the family wants to compare with the garbage dump, but if he is free, the house is cleaned spotlessly, and even the vegetable leaves in the refrigerator are facing one direction. In either case, it's scary, so I don't want to take this risk with Kong Xue. The second reason is that I always want to take the girl home when I feel that it's okay, and most of the time I just don't think about good things. I was worried that Kong Xue would think that I was a hooligan, so I decided to open two standard rooms and stay in a good hotel not too far from my second uncle's pharmacy. That's probably why I can't talk about a girlfriend.

Kong Xue and I lived in two adjacent rooms next door, and after sending her back to the room, I went back to my room. I picked up a water glass and fastened it to the wall between the two rooms, listening carefully to the sound of Kong Xue's room.

The reason why I did this was definitely not a pervert or a bad intention, but I really wanted to find out what happened to Kong Xue during the time when she was separated from me and left the pharmacy to make her have such a change.

I had just listened for a while, and Kong Xue's voice came from the other side of the wall, and it sounded like it was supposed to be calling someone again, and the intermittent voice came......

"Brother Tao,...... Is the stuff still there......"

"That's good, I found ...... I want to check! ”

“...... No, I'll be careful, you...... Inform you! ”

......

Then, the sound of talking was gone, I listened for a while, and suddenly the sound of a stream of water came, could it be that Kong Xue was taking a bath? Listening to the voice so clearly, eighty percent of her didn't close the door when she took a shower! Thinking of Kong Xue's graceful figure during the day, I can't help but feel a little confused.

But I quickly shook my head and scolded myself for being shameless, and this kind of thing happened at this time.

Listening to Kong Xue's words just now, she should be talking to Shi Tao on the phone, and asked about something, the key is what Kong Xue found and what she wants to investigate!

This at least shows that during the period just now, Kong Xue found out something, but she has been with me all the time, so ......

I grabbed my coat, opened the door and walked out.

I walked to the side of the road, looked around, and suddenly found that next to a small intersection, a small newsstand was about to close the door, I hurriedly ran over, "Boss! Boss! Wait a minute! ”

The young man who was loading the board looked at me suspiciously, and stopped what he was doing, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

I pointed to the newsstand, "I want to buy a magazine!" ”

The young man put the things in his hand on the ground in surprise, "Which one do you want?" ”

"Antique Quotes!" I said.

"Give!" The young man squatted under the counter, took out a magazine and handed it to me, "Is this book so good?" It's so late and you still run out to buy it! ”

I took the magazine and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want this issue, I want the last one." ”

When the young man heard this, he shook his head with a smile, "It's really evil today, don't want new issues, buy expired ones!" As he spoke, he gave me another one.

I took the book, handed him the money, and asked, "Listen to your tone, is there anyone else who wants to buy it besides me?" ”

"Yes!" The young man said as he went up to close the shop, "A pretty girl!" ”

I immediately understood, the beautiful girl he said must be Kong Xue, this is not far from the second uncle's pharmacy, he should have bought the magazine here during the day, but why did she lie to me and say that she didn't buy it?

Actually, there is no point in me thinking here, the answer must be in the book in my hand! I thanked the young man. The young man waved his hand again and again, "I left these two expired magazines last month, and I let you deal with them, I thank you!" ”

Saying goodbye to the young man, I walked back to the hotel, I couldn't wait to tear off the plastic packaging of the magazine, find the auction feature article, and when I saw the torn page, my heart suddenly tugged.

Because on that page is a photograph of a lot, and that lot is the statue of a horse stepping on a snake that we once saw in the underground tomb of the Confucian villa!

Now I understand why Kong Xue attaches so much importance to this matter, this lot is almost exactly the same as the one collected by the Kong family in terms of form and workmanship, so this thing is probably related to Uncle Kong, or the things that Uncle Kong experienced, and it may also have some relationship with the ruins of Qilian Mountain.

And when Kong Xue called just now, she said that she was going to investigate, which should be the matter she was referring to. And the reason why she hid it from me, I can probably think that since I have stated many times that I will never be involved in such a thing, Kong Xue feels that telling me about this will make me embarrassed and embarrassed. So she wanted to check it herself.

Thinking about this, I let out a long sigh, yes! If Kong Xue told me about this, would I go with her? Or send her away and turn around and leave on your own? I'm really struggling!

Before I knew it, I had walked to the door of the hotel room, I slowly walked to the door of Kong Xue's room, raised my hand and wanted to knock on the door, but my hand stayed in the air for a long time, and finally let it go.

Back in my room, lying on the bed, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, why is this! Why is it endless! Can it still make people clear for a while, can it let me take a breath! I can't stop complaining about the injustice of fate, did I do anything bad in my last life, I am entangled in these messy things in this life, and I can't extricate myself!

I thought about it for a long time, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, the sun was bright and dazzling, and it was almost noon when I looked at the angle of the sun outside!

I got up, washed up, and knocked on the door of Kong Xue's room next to me. But I knocked for a long time, but no one answered, I panicked, could it be that Kong Xue fainted again?

I hurriedly called the floor attendant, originally planning to ask her to open the door for me, but the waiter told me that Kong Xue had checked out and left about half an hour ago.

I was stunned for a moment, Kong Xue was already gone! I took out my mobile phone and dialed Kong Xue's number, but in the end I only heard "The call you made is not answered for the time being, please call again later." Tone.

Although I already knew that Kong Xue would go to the auction to investigate, I didn't expect her to leave quietly without a word! This did catch me off guard!

I know that the magazine says that the auction will start in two days, whether it is Kong Xue or the second uncle, they should all go straight to Beijing to participate in this auction!

I thought about it for a while, and finally gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, "Uncle, what did Lao Tzu do in his last life!" With that, I ran to the front desk of the hotel lobby, "Hello, help me check, what time is the latest train to Beijing today?" ”

It's a small city, no airport, and it's not far from Beijing, and now the high-speed rail technology is developed, so taking the train from here to Beijing is the fastest way! I think Kong Xue must have chosen this way!

Soon, the attendant at the front desk told me that the nearest high-speed train to Beijing was an hour and a half later.

"Good! Order one for me right away! "I threw the money down and ran out the door, straight to the train station.
