Chapter 69: The Second Uncle's "Confession"
My second uncle and I walked up to the fourth floor, and I took out the key to open the door and walked in.
The room looked very tidy, but when I reached out and touched it, I found that there was a layer of dust on the table, chair, cabinet and sofa. It seems that this place should also be a lot of people who have not been here for a long time.
The second uncle closed the door with his hand, then walked into the house and looked around. Then he went back to the living room, and sat down without worrying about the dust on the sofa.
The second uncle took out some notes from the small bag on his waist, and then looked at them casually. Although the second uncle was careless, I could feel that he was running away from something, because he didn't look up at me from the beginning to the end.
I walked over and stood in front of him, and the second uncle had no choice but to raise his head, "Eldest nephew, what do you want to do?" ”
Hearing the second uncle ask this, my anger didn't come to one place, and my heart said, are you embarrassed to ask me what I want to do? What else can I do?!
I lowered my head and looked at the second uncle, and asked in a somewhat cold tone: "Second uncle, after so many things, there is no need to detour between the two of us, I just have one question, what is the relationship between me and that Zhuo Chengyang?" ”
Hearing me ask, the second uncle didn't speak at first, but looked at me quietly for a while before he spoke: "Actually, we didn't intend to hide this matter from you, but we just felt that the past had no impact on the present, so as not to add trouble to you, so we haven't told you all the time." ”
I rubbed my head vigorously and said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, don't pave the way, just say it." ”
The second uncle nodded, "Actually, Zhuo Chengyang is you, you are Zhuo Chengyang." ”
I had thought of this matter before, but now that it comes out of the mouth of the second uncle, although I have been mentally prepared, it still makes me feel strange in my heart.
I sighed lightly and sat down on the sofa opposite my second uncle. "Second uncle, this situation, in fact, I have thought of it before, but why did the two old ladies of the Tan family say that I died when I asked for medicine in the Tan family just now?"
The second uncle shook his head, "The two of them are so old, and the events of twenty years ago will inevitably have deviations." ”
"But," I always felt a little strange about the information I got from the two medicine men of the Tan family this time, "They are very sure that Zhuo Chengyang was dead at that time?" ”
The second uncle laughed, "You kid is really! You are sitting in front of me alive now, why do you have to let me prove that you are dead! ”
I was speechless by the second uncle for a while, and I found that the one thing that was originally bothering me was so understated by the second uncle? I always feel that things are not as simple as the second uncle said. But I didn't know what to ask my second uncle for a while, but I didn't want to let him go like this.
So, I had to continue to ask: "If I hadn't died at that time, what made that mother-in-law of the Tan family have such an illusion?" ”
The second uncle sighed, "Alas, you were very sick at the time, and it was okay to say that you had half a life left, almost dying." At that time, everyone thought that you would not make it home, and I think it was at that time that she felt that you were going to die. I'm still saying that, it's been 20 years, and who knows if they're confused. Besides, don't you know if you're dead or not, I think it's a joke that we're here to discuss whether you're dead or not! ”
"That's it!" As the second uncle spoke, he stood up suddenly, "Eldest nephew, I really don't have time to play with you here, if you have such strange thoughts, you can feel your own pulse." The second uncle smiled and patted me on the shoulder, and walked towards the door.
Although I couldn't find any obvious loopholes in the second uncle's words for a while, I just felt that what the second uncle said might not be the truth. There seems to be another point in this incident that I didn't grasp, and my mind tried to think about it.
"Second uncle!" Suddenly, I stood up and spoke again to stop him.
The second uncle turned his head and looked at me strangely, "Eldest nephew, what else is wrong with you?" ”
I said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, since you just said that the Tan family's medicine mother-in-law thinks that Zhuo Chengyang is dead because they are mistaken, then how to explain Zhuo Chengyang's tablet in the underground secret room of our Zhuo family's ancestral house?" ”
When the second uncle heard my words, a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes, although it was fleeting, but it was still noticed by me.
The second uncle frowned slightly, "Huh? Then he nodded with some relief, "Yes, you've already found those." I almost forgot. ”
"Speaking of the tablet," said the second uncle, he turned back again, "that was your grandfather's idea." He thinks that you are a person who has gone through the palace of Hades, and the old man has gone and regained his life. Therefore, set up Zhuo Chengyang's tablet and renamed you Zhuo Ran again. It is meant to bless you with good health and all things to be safe in the future. After speaking, the second uncle smiled again, "I don't believe in these, it's just useless rituals." But your grandfather thinks it's good, so listen to him. Ha ha. ”
I blinked and frowned, "Second uncle, aren't you fooling me!" Do you think I can believe it! ”
"Stinky boy, who fooled you!" The second uncle glared, "Do you believe it or not, if you don't believe it, ask your grandfather to go on Qingming Festival!" ”
"Hey!" I was also a little angry, "Second uncle, aren't you unreasonable!" I asked my grandfather if he could take care of me! ”
"And what do you want me to do?" The second uncle spread his hands helplessly, "Let me tell you, you were originally called Zhuo Chengyang, and later changed your name to Zhuo Ran, you didn't say that Zhuo Chengyang was dead, which means that you are dead, but you don't know if you are dead or not!" Who is unreasonable! ”
"I ......" I was speechless!
The second uncle reached out and patted me on the shoulder again, "Big nephew, there have been too many things that have happened during this time, you may be too sensitive, and this is difficult for you!" You'd better go home and get some rest first! ”
After the second uncle finished speaking, he walked to the door, although my doubts were not resolved, but for a while I didn't know what reason to ask the second uncle again.
The second uncle opened the door and stopped, and he said without looking back: "Actually, this is also to blame on the second uncle, I involved you in these bad things, but I really didn't expect things to develop like this." Don't always struggle with what you can't die, just live well, don't waste your grandfather saving you back then. After speaking, the second uncle closed the door and walked out.
I sat on the couch a little dejected, leaning my head back on the couch, my head full of thoughts.
At this time, the second uncle suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, took out a small box from his bag, and reached out and handed it to me, "In the past few days since I left, if you are very uncomfortable, eat a little of what is in it." ”
I opened the box strangely and saw a paper bag inside, I carefully opened the paper bag and found that it was wrapped in some medicinal powder, and at the same time, I smelled a strange aroma coming to my nose, refreshing my heart. This aroma is so familiar to me, I subconsciously blurted out, "This is Uznamu!" ”
The second uncle didn't answer me, and when I looked up, I found that the second uncle had already left.
