On the screen of the computer, there is a photograph. In the endless desert as far as the eye can see in the photo, there are several people standing in the middle of the picture, one of whom I know, he is the father of Lantern Festival - Tang Zhendong, and there is a person standing next to Tang Zhendong, this person is dressed in black, with a black mask, blocking all the parts below the eyes on his face.

This photo is obviously taken from the last time I went to the ancient country of Shan Huan, not to mention Tang Zhendong, and the man in black next to him also remembers me deeply. I remember that I was outside the ancient country of Shan Huan, and I was attacked by zongzi that night, and I once saw this man make a move, and I was deeply impressed by his skills.

I looked up at the Lantern Festival, "This is the picture you took when you went to the Gurbantunggut Desert?" Did you shoot it? ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "But that's not the point, look at the man in black in the photo." ”

Due to the wind and sand blowing at the time, and the light, the image on the photo is not very clear. I leaned closer to the computer screen and looked, "This is what Mr. Yue you were talking about at the time, right?" ”

"Yes," Lantern Xiao replied, "Don't you think this person is a little familiar?" ”

"Familiar?" After Lantern Xiao said this, I carefully looked at the man in black on the photo again, "Let you say this, it's really familiar, it seems to be ......" Speaking of this, a thought flashed in my mind in an instant, and I looked at Lantern Xiao with wide eyes, "You mean ......"

Lantern Xiao said: "Like Mr. Hong, right? I nodded vigorously.

Lantern Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that I am not mistaken, if this is the case, that is to say, when he was in the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom, this Mr. Hong was involved, and this time he appeared again." I originally thought that he was a helper invited by Tang Jian'an, but now it seems that Tang Jian'an is being used by this Mr. Hong at all, and he is using the power of the Tang family to achieve some of his own goals! Tang Jian'an, this fool doesn't even know that he is being used as a gunman! ”

I wondered in my heart, "It seems that this Mr. Hong is not a simple character, but I don't know which side he belongs to?" The Tang family and the Yuan family are impossible, could it be someone from the Tan family or the Nie family? ”

Lan Xiao shook his head, "This is also unlikely, although the Tan family and the Nie family are low-key and have not been involved in inverted fighting in recent years, it is more than enough to organize a team with their forces, and there is no need to rely on the strength of the Tang family." ”

I also agree with this statement of the Lantern Festival. Lantern Xiao then sighed, "It's a pity that my dad is no longer here, he can deceive Tang Jian'an, he must not be able to deceive your dad, he must know some details about Mr. Hong." ”

"Forget it," I said, waving my hand, "maybe we won't have much chance of running into him in the future." ”

But Lantern Xiao didn't think so, "Zhuo Ran, I don't think this matter is over yet, as long as we continue to pursue, we will meet him sooner or later." ”

"Keep pursuing?" I sneered and shook my head, "Forget it, it's too late for me to hide." ”

Lantern Xiao also smiled, "I think it's not the first time I've heard of what you said." Suddenly, I was speechless, so I drank all the tea in my cup.

At this time, Lantern Xiao's mobile phone rang. When he picked it up and looked at it, his face couldn't help but change, and he was a little dazed for a while, letting the mobile phone ring in his hand, but he pressed it to answer for a long time.

I looked strange and asked, "Why don't you answer, whose call is it?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked up at me, "It's my grandfather!" ”

I understand that the reason for Lantern Xiao's hesitation is still related to some entanglements between Tang Zhendong and his uncle. In fact, the old man of the Tang family, that is, the grandfather of the Lantern Festival, has always been very good to the Lantern Festival. It's just that after Tang Zhendong died, in the matter of Lantern Festival being excluded, Old Man Tang did not stand up and speak, which made Lantern Xiao inevitably feel guilty, and when treating his grandfather, there would be some contradictions in his heart, in fact, I can understand Lantern Festival, at that time, Tang Zhendong had just died, and Lantern Festival was when he was lonely and helpless, at this time he was squeezed out by the same sect, Lantern Xiao thought that his grandfather would stand up and administer justice for himself, but he didn't expect that his hope would be disappointed, and anyone would have some ideas in his heart.

Lantern Xiao looked at the phone for a while, and finally pressed the answer button, "Hey, grandpa!" ...... No...... Well, okay...... Okay, goodbye grandpa! ”

Hanging up the phone, Lantern Xiao seemed a little absent-minded, so I asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lantern Xiao pondered for a while and said, "My grandfather wanted to ask me to have dinner tonight, and said that it was just the two of us." ”

I raised my eyebrows, "Isn't that good?" It's normal for a grandfather to ask his grandson to have a meal! ”

Lantern Xiao sneered and said, "When I was squeezed out of the Tang family, I didn't see my grandfather stand up and ask me to have a meal!" Instead, call me at this time. ”

I can probably guess what Lantern Xiao was thinking, "Are you worried that your grandfather came to you because of Tang Jian'an's matter?" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now Tang Jian'an is the orthodox Tang family's eldest young master, what am I, I'm just a forgotten Tang family's outcast." ”

"If you still abandon your son, you won't drag words." I patted Lantern Xiao on the shoulder, "Can't you bear your title of the eldest young master of the Tang family?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head, "Of course not. ”

"That's it, what are you afraid of losing? After all, it's your grandfather, so it's time to go. I said.

Lantern Xiao nodded, got up and walked into the store, "I'll go change my clothes and get ready." ”

I nodded, and continued to sit alone in front of the Lantern Festival shop, drinking tea while watching the bustling crowd in Panjiayuan. Many people who come here hope to be able to pick up the treasure with their eyesight. But nowadays, the chances of Pan Jiayuan picking up leaks are getting lower and lower. After all, there is no good selling after all, and if you want to pick up the leak here, it is better to buy lottery tickets. It's just that many people don't understand this truth until they pay a large amount of "tuition".

After a while, Lantern Xiao walked out, took off his bloomers and shoes, and changed into a slightly more formal outfit, "Zhuo Ran, I won't greet you, you can find a place to live by yourself in a while, and we'll talk about it again tomorrow." ”

I agreed, and Lantern Xiao hurried away.

I sat for a while, but it wasn't interesting to sit alone, so I got up and said to Sisi, and I was going to say goodbye. But as soon as I turned around, Sisi stopped me, "Hey, Brother Ran, I want to ask you something." ”

I looked at her strangely and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sisi hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Ran, are you doing something dangerous?" ”

I was slightly stunned, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Sisi said: "I see that Brother Tang came back this time, and there are a lot of injuries on his body. And he also brought back some antiques, these things Brother Tang didn't say what the origin was, but I can guess a little, you should know what I mean? Seeing that I nodded, Sisi continued: "Actually, I understand Brother Tang's thoughts, I want you to tell him that I don't want to be rich and expensive, with this small shop, it is enough for us to eat and drink without worrying." ”

I groaned slightly, "Actually, in some cases, your brother Tang can't help himself. Don't worry, I'll tell him what you say. However, you don't have to worry too much, Lantern Xiao's ability to deal with problems is far stronger than his hanging appearance! ”

Leaving the Lantern Festival's Dongding Pavilion, I found a hotel not far away to stay, and I had nothing to do at night, so I called my second uncle. The second uncle told me that he was still in Guizhou and was buying a batch of herbs. Anado's condition has improved a lot. It's just that Wenmo has not heard from him so far. After that, we had a casual chat. I told my second uncle about my Lantern Festival. The second uncle pondered for a moment on the phone and said, "Eldest nephew, you pay attention, if Mr. Hong does not send Tang Jian'an back to the Tang family, then you must be careful that the Tang family will count this matter on your head." But if Mr. Hong sends Tang Jian'an back to the Tang family, you have to ask Lantern Xiao to inquire about what Mr. Hong got from the Tang family. ”

I didn't quite understand what the second uncle meant by this, but the second uncle said that when I met with Lantern Xiao tomorrow and knew Tang Jian'an's situation, I would naturally understand. Since the second uncle said so, I have no choice but to be skeptical. The second uncle also told me that he would collect medicine in the mountains these days, and sometimes the signal was not good, so don't worry if the phone can't get through.

After hanging up the phone, I began to think about the situation of Lantern Festival meeting with his grandfather at this time, and I had the heart to call him to ask, but I felt that it was inappropriate. Eventually, I resisted the urge and threw my phone aside to go to bed, wondering that when I woke up and saw the Lantern Festival again, things might be clear.

But I didn't expect this dawn to come so early, early in the morning I was woken up by a call from Lantern Festival, I looked up at the window, and found that it was just dawning. I thought there was something urgent about Lantern Festival, so I quickly answered the phone, "Hey, Lantern Festival, what's wrong?" ”

Lantern Xiao smiled on the phone, "It's nothing, I just want to call you to have breakfast together!" ”

I was angry in my heart and shouted: "You are sick, what time is it, eat your uncle early!" With that, I hung up.

But soon, Lantern Xiao's call came again, and I scolded Lantern Xiao for being stupid X in my heart, so I hung up the phone directly. I was angry in my heart, thinking that if Lantern Festival called again, I would pick it up and scold him. But the phone didn't ring for a long time, so I tried to roll over and go back to sleep, but I found that I couldn't sleep for a while. At this time, the phone rang with a text message prompt. I didn't want to read it, but that's how people are, the more you don't read it, the more curious you are about it, and my heart is always unsure, and it makes me sleepy.
