As soon as I entered the store, all the guys knew me and greeted me with a smile. I waved at the group and motioned for them to continue to ignore me.
Then I beckoned to Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu hurriedly walked over. I stretched out my hand to him, Xiao Liu understood, reached out and took out a note from the inside of the counter, with a string of numbers written on it, "Here, Brother Zhuo, this is that person's phone." β
I wanted to be able to get more information, so I asked Xiaoliu: "Did the person who called mention my second uncle?" β
Xiao Liu thought for a while, "No! β
"No?" This made me a little strange, and I pressed on, "Are you sure?" β
Xiao Liu didn't think about it this time, and nodded resolutely, "That's right, I'm sure." At that time, this person came up and asked if this was Zhuo Jitang Pharmacy, I said yes, and then he directly asked Zhuo Ran if he was there. I thought it was a little strange at the time, but when you asked, I remembered. β
Hearing Xiao Liu say this, my heart immediately hung up, if Xiao Liu said this, then the situation analyzed by the Lantern Festival last night would not be established. Because if this person's real target is the second uncle, then she should ask if the second uncle is there first, instead of looking for me directly.
I waved my hand and motioned for Xiao Liu to go about his own business, and I glanced at Lantern Xiao, and he shrugged his shoulders at me, indicating that he had nothing to say.
I frowned, if this is the case, I immediately thought of a possibility, if this person called and did not ask the second uncle, but directly asked me if I was not, it means that this person is sure that the second uncle must not be there, and subconsciously thinks that there is no need to ask at all, so he goes straight to the topic to ask about my situation.
If this is the case, either the second uncle is with this person, or this person knows where the second uncle is going, so I think this person will probably be a key to finding the second uncle.
At this time, it was still early, and there were no other customers in the store except for the guy and us, so Lantern Xiao and I found a chair and sat down at the door.
I took out the note that Xiaoliu gave me and dialed the number according to what was written on it, but just when I remembered the dialing tone on the phone, the mobile phone rang suddenly from the direction of the store door behind us.
I was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and looked in the direction of the store, only to see a person standing at the door.
Because the sun was shining outside, and the light inside the store was a little dim, Ben and I couldn't see the man's face clearly, only a tall and pretty silhouette, with a slender figure, a high ponytail, and especially two long legs, which were particularly eye-catching.
For a moment, I felt that the person who came was Kong Xue, but then I knew that she was not, this girl was taller than Kong Xue.
The dial tone of "beep" was still coming from the phone I was holding, and the ringtone of the phone was still ringing on the girl's body. I can't believe it's such a coincidence.
Just as she was thinking, the girl walked in, took out her phone as she went, and pressed the answer button. With the girl's mouth and the earpiece of my phone coming out at the same time, a hey? I was surprised to find out that it was such a coincidence. It seems that this girl is the one who is looking for me, but who is she?
Lantern Xiao also stood up and said softly in my ear: "This is the merry debt that is looking for you?" β
I looked at the girl and nodded. The girl walked straight towards me with her mobile phone, and I saw her appearance clearly, with a white and pure melon seed face, with a pair of sunglasses, plump lips are very ruddy, and with a neat ponytail, the whole person looks very capable.
The girl kept walking in front of me, and Lantern Xiao and I were all stupid, and we didn't know what to say for a while. The girl took off her sunglasses, and above her beautiful eyes, two sword eyebrows went straight into her sideburns, looking heroic.
The girl looked me up and down, and said softly, "Are you Zhuo Ran?" β
I nodded a little dazedly, then frowned slightly, "This beauty, who are you?" β
As soon as I finished speaking, the girl came up and patted me on the shoulder, "Hey! I've found you! β
I was blinded all of a sudden, and looked at Lantern Xiao as if asking for help, "This ......"
Lantern Xiao thought for a while, and then smiled, "Zhuo Ran, this seems to be your family matter, you better handle it yourself, it's inconvenient for me as an outsider to interfere." With that, Lantern Xiao lit a cigarette and walked outside the door.
"Holy! No righteousness! I cursed in my heart and turned my head to look at the girl in front of me, who seemed to be about the same age as us.
Originally, I still had great doubts about the identity of this girl, and even thought that she and the disappearance of the second uncle might have something to do with it, maybe his arrival portended some conspiracy, but when this person really stood in front of me, these thoughts were forgotten at once. No matter how I look at it, I can't connect this face with the word conspiracy.
The girl looked at me and smiled faintly at me, which immediately made my heart tremble.
I took the girl to the tea room in the second uncle's room and sat down, and then asked Xiaoliu to help pour a glass of water. I sat down across from the girl and said, "This beauty, we should be meeting for the first time, I don't know about it, let's talk slowly." β
The girl didn't speak, she nodded with a slight glare, and I continued, "Who are you?" Why did you come to me? β
The girl listened to me and nodded, but instead of answering my question directly, she suddenly said to me, "Hey! Let me ask you one thing first, this matter is very important! β
I nodded, motioning for her to speak first. The girl leaned forward and said, "Do you know where your second uncle has gone?" β
"What!" The girl's sentence stunned me, and in an instant I felt that my mind was messed up, and many of the assumptions I had thought about before had all been overturned just because of the girl's words! I just felt that my brain was a mess at this time, and it was difficult to sort out the clue for a while.
I frowned, "What?" Don't you know where my second uncle has gone? β
The girl looked at me a little inexplicably, "Of course I don't know, if I knew, would I still use it to find you?" β
I asked the girl, "You came to me to find my second uncle?" β
"There's a reason for that," the girl nodded in acknowledgement, but then shook her head again, "Not exactly, I have other things to do with you!" β
All of a sudden, my head hurts, what is this! It's not quite what I expected! This feeling reminds me inexplicably of a question I saw on the Internet before, three people come up from the first stop of a bus, two people go down, and five people come up from the second stop, one person. Twenty-five people came up at the third station and thirteen people went down, and they asked, is the bus driver male or female?
I rubbed my head and waved my hand, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let's come step by step, let me ask you first, who are you?" What does it have to do with my second uncle? β
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, let me introduce myself first, my name is Anaduo, and I am from the Miao ethnic group." I am your second uncle in Guizhou...... Friends, also help him with some of the business over there. β
I nodded, but I was still a little skeptical, just at her age, she could help my second uncle handle business? The second uncle is a person with a relatively high vision, and it is difficult for ordinary people to look down on him and gain his trust. For example, in the pharmacy we are in now, the second uncle has always done it himself for so many years, and I have never heard of him asking anyone to help him take care of his business.
I asked strangely, "My second uncle still has a business in Guizhou?" β
The girl seemed a little surprised, "What? Don't you know? β
I shook my head, "I've never heard him talk about it. β
The girl nodded, "No wonder! β
I continued to ask, "Why did you come to me?" β
Hearing me ask, the girl's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Your second uncle is missing, do you know about this matter?" β
I sighed, "yes, I haven't seen him in a long time!" β
When the girl heard my words, her brow furrowed, "Hey! I said Xiao Ran! Your second uncle is missing, why aren't you in a hurry as a nephew! Why don't you look for it! Xiao Ran, if I didn't say you, you wouldn't worry about your second uncle at all? β
I was stunned by the girl's snatching, I was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "I'm looking for it, I've been looking for it!" It's just that there are no clues. And before...... "In a hurry, I almost revealed my previous experience, but fortunately I shut my mouth in time."
The girl didn't seem to hear that I was hiding something, and shook her head to herself, "We haven't been in contact with your second uncle for more than half a month......"
As soon as she said this, I was immediately taken aback, and I quickly interrupted her, "More than half a month? Do you mean that half a month ago, you once got in touch with my second uncle? The girl's words made me very happy, I have lost contact with my second uncle since before Altay, and it has definitely been more than a month now. And the girl said that she had contacted her second uncle half a month ago, which shows that at least from the disappearance to half a month ago, the second uncle was still safe.
The girl nodded when she heard me ask.
I hurriedly asked: "Half a month ago, you got in touch with my second uncle, what did you say?" He said he didn't say where he was now. β
"No, he didn't say where he was, but," the girl continued, "he told me something else. Your second uncle told me that if he hasn't come back after half a month, he will come here to find you, and then transfer his business in Guizhou to your name. That's why I came to you! β
I nodded, I see. It seems to be a little different from what we think. However, I already have a general idea of what is going on. I had calmed down a lot by now, and I was still a little suspicious of the girl's sudden appearance and what she was saying.
