I was surprised why my grandfather would say this, and I asked my second uncle what it meant. The second uncle said that he didn't know.

I actually don't believe in this, but since the second uncle doesn't want to answer this question, I know it's useless to continue to ask. After so many years, I still have some understanding of the temper of the second uncle, if he doesn't want to say, it won't work if you force it, it's better to wait for the opportunity, just like squeezing toothpaste to squeeze it out little by little.

I remembered what I had just encountered in the dungeon, when I got into the coffin, and soon the other coffins shook strangely, I wonder if it had anything to do with my grandfather's statement. However, this is all my guess.

I felt that my head was a little swollen, and the information I got today was enough, and I couldn't digest too many secrets for a while, so I had to give up and leave the ancestral house with my second uncle.

The second uncle wanted to go back to the pharmacy first, but when we returned to the county seat after taking the car, it was almost dusk. We had to dispel the idea of going to the pharmacy first, and returned to the second uncle's house together to spend the night.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is improvised, because the area of the second uncle's home is not large, and the construction area is less than 60 square meters. I often ask him why he doesn't change his house since he is not short of money? But the second uncle felt that he couldn't live at home for a few days a year, so it was better to keep the money to do something more useful.

The second uncle's house is small, so there is a problem, his house only has a double bed. If you live here, you have to sleep in the same bed with your second uncle. I've grown so old that I've never slept with anyone else except when I was a kid and I slept in the same bed with my parents. This feeling makes me extremely uncomfortable, even my second uncle.

But fortunately, we were all tired, so we ate something casually and went to bed. At the beginning, I still remember deliberately keeping a certain distance from my second uncle, so that the unshaven face was far away from me. But within a few minutes, I fell asleep.

This sleep was very heavy, it was almost dark. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly fell into a trance, where did I sleep? After thinking for a while, I remembered the second uncle's home at this time, and my heart was once again steady. Then I subconsciously rubbed back, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and I opened my eyes slightly, only to find that the place where the second uncle was sleeping was empty.

I had doubts in my heart, and my drowsiness quickly receded. I opened my eyes wide and slowly got up, but found that the second uncle was not in this room, so I got out of bed and quietly walked to the other room. Then the light came through the window, and I saw the second uncle sitting in a daze on the chair in front of the desk, holding a cigarette in his hand.

It's been a long time since I've seen my second uncle smoke, and I can't guess what my second uncle is doing, so I'm very curious. So I walked over, and when the second uncle heard my voice, he raised his head and said with some surprise: "Eldest nephew? How did you get up? ”

I smiled and said, "When I opened my eyes and saw that your old man was gone, I thought you had left me again!" So hurry up and take a look. ”

The second uncle puffed out a cigarette and snorted. I walked up to the second uncle, "Second uncle, what are you doing sitting here?" ”

"Ah, it's nothing, sometimes people can't sleep when they're old, so they get up and sit down." Although the second uncle said this, his eyes went to the top of the table.

"You get up and sit down, just sit here and smoke a cigarette?" I obviously didn't believe it, and when I looked into the eyes of my second uncle, I found that there was a photo pressed under the glass plate of the desk. It was when I was very young, and my second uncle took a group photo of me, and there was a line of small characters written in the upper left corner of the photo, as if it was a commemorative year or something, and I couldn't see it clearly when the light was dark.

The second uncle saw that I had also noticed the photo, so he said: "This time I went to the dungeon under the ancestral tomb, especially when I bombed it again, no matter what, it was also the place where the Zhuo family guarded for hundreds of years, It's gone, I feel a little uncomfortable!" This is also one of the signs of old age, and it has become very nostalgic. As he spoke, the second uncle took a deep puff of his cigarette.

Looking at the appearance of the second uncle, I couldn't help but sigh, "Second uncle, I can understand your mood very well, but at that time, I had no choice but to do it, that place was so weird, it was better to be buried in the ground, and it would harm others again!" ”

The second uncle nodded slightly, but did not speak. I asked a little strangely: "Second uncle, the last time Lantern Xiao and I arrived at the bottom of the dungeon, nothing like this happened, why did such an accident happen this time?" ”

The second uncle's tone was very flat, "It seems that these places are becoming more and more unstable!" ”

"These places??" I didn't quite understand what it meant. The second uncle reached out and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it vigorously, "Let's go, hurry up and go to sleep, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!" ”

"What can happen tomorrow? Sleep until you wake up naturally. I shrugged my shoulders and said.

"Nonsense," the second uncle glanced at me, "that's you, a jobless vagrant wandering around every day." There's a lot of stuff waiting for me in my pharmacy! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a vagrant anyway, I can go and help you tomorrow or something."

The next day, I went straight to the pharmacy with my second uncle, and for the first time, my second uncle and I were a little surprised to see me and my second uncle appear in the shop so early.

The second uncle said with a smile: "Everyone, I am not in the store during this time, it all depends on your dedication, I will give everyone a bonus this month, I hope you can make persistent efforts!" "Listening to the second uncle's speech similar to the college entrance examination mobilization meeting, I couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and bitterly.

And the other guys were even more confused, Xiao Liu scratched his head, hesitated and walked over and asked, "Second, second master, what are you...... Is our store going to break up? ”

As soon as the second uncle kicked over, Xiaoliu immediately returned to his job with enthusiasm. After that, the second uncle began to count the accounts and medicines, although what I said last night sounded good, but now, I find that I really can't help anything. So I began to wonder if I should go home.

Suddenly, the phone rang and I remembered, I picked it up and saw that it was my mother calling. I immediately guessed that she must have come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and before she could speak, I first admitted my mistake, and then explained where I had been going for the previous two days. Mom sighed, "Okay, I don't blame you, next time no matter where you go, remember to call home, otherwise we will be very worried." ”

I said yes again and again, but my heart was infinitely warm. My mother said that she was going on a business trip for two days, and my father has been busy recently, so if I go home, I will take care of myself for two days first.

After hanging up the phone, I felt that since my parents were not at home, I was not in a hurry to go back. I went to my second uncle's tea room to make a pot of tea, and then brought it to the table outside, drinking it while watching the situation in the shop.

The whole pharmacy can be said to be antique, and in retrospect, I remember that when my grandfather was still alive, this pharmacy was probably like this, and it has never been renovated or renovated twice, but only some minor repairs. Therefore, decades have passed, and the pharmacy is still the same as it was back then.

As I drank my tea, I looked around, and gradually my eyes fell on the painting hanging on the wall of the main hall!
