Twenty years ago, it seemed like too much had happened. Twenty years seems like a point in time.

At night, I stayed in my room. Taking the seal from my suitcase, I held it up to my eyes and looked at it carefully. I can't help but wonder what kind of secret this hair mound seal that has been passed down for thousands of years is hidden! The small holes arranged on the hair mound mark made me even more puzzled.

It's strange to think about it, this hair mound seal is a treasure of the hair mould, and it is said that it has been lost in the Tang Dynasty, so why did my grandfather keep the matching fire velvet. From this series of events, I can see that the Zhuo family and Faqiu and all these strange events have this connection in some way. Especially when the velvet is inserted into the hair mound print, the mysterious complex pattern that resembles a turtle shell is revealed through those fine pores. This turtle shell-like pattern has begun to appear more and more frequently in these subsequent experiences. I have a gut feeling that this pattern could be an important clue to the mystery.

However, among all the mysteries, there is one that I have always cared about, that is, the Zhuo family, or specifically the second uncle, what role does it play? Especially twenty years ago......

Now I know that my second uncle took me to the Tan family twenty years ago, but the Tan family failed to cure my illness. So where did the second uncle take me after that? Or did you give me to my grandfather? But my mother told me that my grandfather went to a friend of his because of my illness, and my illness was cured. So, grandpa should have gone out after my second uncle and I came back from the Tan family, or were they divided into two ways?

Thinking of this, I rubbed my temples, it was really big!

Twenty years ago, there was an extremely special thing, that is, the four major families took the lead in exploring the ancient country of Shanhuan in the hinterland of Gurbantunggut, but it was such a big event, but the second uncle did not participate, and even declined the invitation of the four major families, with my understanding of the second uncle, the second uncle would refuse such a thing, it must be a very special reason, and I think it is related to me, if so, where did the second uncle go at that time?

When I think of the Gurbantunggut Desert, I think of our previous experience, and suddenly something comes to mind.

When we first lived in Sadiq's house, we once saw a picture of my second uncle. Gu Sadiq said that the photo was also taken almost 20 years ago, especially when the second uncle told Sadiq that he went into the depths of the desert to find Zhuoran. This sentence still feels a little creepy when I recall it. And the sentence he left behind the photo made me even more incredible.

I don't know how much Sadik's memory of this incident is biased, so I can't estimate which time came before this incident and the four great families entering the desert.

It was just because things were too chaotic for me to sort it out for a while, and now it seems that this should be an important clue that I missed at the beginning. Maybe a lot of things were already beginning to emerge at the beginning, but at that time, I was so dazed by the sudden change that I didn't have time to take care of it.

When I recalled the events at that time, I suddenly felt that although the things had not been long in the past, I already had a feeling that things were wrong......

Under the effect of the Uzna wood powder, my body did not show the same severe discomfort as before in the next few days. Now that this is the case, I don't want to dwell on it all the time, maybe it's because of the previous experience, but after the initial fear of death, my mind seems to be much calmer. The only thing I can't let go of in my heart is the guilt and reluctance to my parents.

I can't bring this emotion out, I can only try to divert my attention from it, so I usually go out for a walk, look for my former classmates and friends, and everyone gets together, and the joy of getting together makes me forget these troubles for a while.

One night, when I came home from eating outside, my mother said to me a little unhappily as soon as I entered the door: "Xiao Ran, why didn't you answer your call today?" ”

I pulled out my phone and looked at it, "Oh, Mom, I'm sorry." I forgot to charge it, and the phone was turned off. ”

"Alas," the old mother sighed, "there was a phone call to you this afternoon, saying that it was your classmate, who seemed to be named Dou Zhi." ”

"Soybeans?" As I changed my clothes, I said, "What is he looking for me?" ”

"I said I was going to get married, so I asked you to come over and attend the wedding." After speaking, my mother looked at me with resentful eyes, "Look, your classmates are all married, when will you bring a girlfriend back to show me." ”

I suddenly felt a little big, forced marriage and forced marriage are what everyone must experience in their lives! I thought about my physical condition again, and my heart felt sour, whether I could live or not was a question, and how could I hope to marry a wife and have children.

Seeing that I was in a daze, my mother softened her tone and said, "Xiao Ran, Mom is not forcing you, I also want you to start a family as soon as possible." ”

I quickly put away my thoughts and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, maybe it won't be long before I bring you a daughter-in-law back!" ”

"Huh?" My mother looked at me in surprise, "What?" Got a goal? ”

"Oops, no!" I waved my hand repeatedly, "That's what I said." ”

Avoiding my mother, I hurried back to my room, took out my phone to charge it, and then called soybean back. Dou Zhi was my classmate in college, and because of the homonym of his surname, we called him Soybean. Soybean is from Shanxi, and his family conditions are very good, and we all wonder if their family has a mine.

After graduating, we kept in touch less, and occasionally chatted online. Don't look at the same ancient civil engineering technology as such an unpopular major, it is difficult for me to find a job, but Doudou was arranged by his family into a public institution early. It's really more popular than people.

This guy was honest and taciturn when he was in school, but he didn't expect to graduate and get married quite quickly, and whether he should get married or not was also arranged by the family!

But anyway, since Soybean was invited, of course I still want to go to Hexi. Lantern Festival and I are also classmates, but we are not the same major. Although he and Soy knew each other, they weren't familiar with each other, so I didn't talk about it. Two days later, I got on the train to Taiyuan by myself.

After getting off the train, Soybean was already waiting for me at the station.

"Why did the bridegroom greet me personally! It's an honor! I quipped as soon as I saw him.

The soybeans are still the same, and he smiled honestly, "Old classmates are coming, of course I have to come to greet them!" ”
