Chapter 5: Alone
I lowered my head and took another sip of tea, and there was no squeak.
Old man Xu is very talkative, and he talked with me about the past and the present, and he talked about it for a while, and then he returned to the book.
Old man Xu said: "Zhang Gongzi, the origin of this handkerchief is extraordinary. The current owner of this handkerchief is the little girl Ruohong, and it is a love object given to the little girl by your good brother Da Lei in his previous life. Hey, it's an unfinished relationship! Ruohong and your friend Da Lei, the death and resurrection of the previous love, people and gods envy it. ”
Where did I believe, I fixed my mind and said, "Is it true?"
He was noncommittal about what Old Man Xu said.
The old man surnamed Xu saw my thoughts, was a little angry, and said, "Gongzi Zhang, looking at your hesitant appearance, do you believe the old man's words?"
I said, "Old Xu, don't be angry, it's not that I don't believe what you say, but what you said is too mysterious and I can't accept it for a while." ”
Old Man Xu sighed and said, "Gongzi Zhang, in fact, I don't believe it either. However, we are also outsiders, so we might as well call the two parties to come out, let the little girl and Da Lei confront each other, and this matter will come to light, such a matter is nothing, so it will end here, and I will make amends to you. ”
I saw that what Old Man Xu said was serious, and I believed it in my heart. But how could he let Da Lei confront her? What method did he use to confront Da Lei and his daughter? Not to mention that Xiao Qian was still there, and even if he was not there, he must not let them meet now.
I made up my mind, paused slightly, and shirked: "Elder Xu, this matter is not in a hurry, the so-called everything must be considered in the long run." Elder Xu, you can tell me more about their past, wait for me to go back to Da Lei to verify, if it is as you say, I will ask him to personally send him over and make amends to you. ”
In fact, I was shirking, just saying that I would make amends, but I didn't talk about marriage.
Old Man Xu pondered for a while, didn't seem to pay attention to the loophole in my speech, and said: "Zhang Gongzi is as you said, don't worry, things will always come to light one day." Tea must be tasted slowly, and things must be talked about slowly. ”
I gently picked up the teacup and took a sip to ease the atmosphere, but I was hurrying to find a solution.
Old man Xu was unhurried, and he started a family routine with me again.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Xu changed the topic back and said, "Zhang Gongzi, I guess your friend is near here, right? We don't have to go far, since they are already here, why don't we invite him over, have a cup of tea, and confront him by the way? Not to mention that there will inevitably be omissions in the message, and it happens that all the parties involved are here today." ”
I was shocked, the ginger was still old and spicy, and I thought that all this was done very secretly, who knew that it was all in the hands of others.
Before I could answer, Old Man Xu shouted inside: "Xiaoqing, there are two guests in the back mountain, you go and invite them." ”
Old man Xu simply came to cut first and then played, so I couldn't refuse.
"Hmm. I'll go. A female voice answered inside.
I hurriedly said: "Old Xu, don't bother them, I'll go and shout in person, Da Lei They are ordinary people, you go and scare him, but it will make things worse." ”
In fact, I was worried that if they shouted Da Lei, maybe there would be a conflict, and that little thing on Da Lei, whether it was spiritual or not, would make things worse.
Old man Xu said: "Zhang Gongzi, it's okay like this, I will also accompany you over, which can be regarded as a little sincerity to my son-in-law." ”
Old man Xu changed his words and said, "My friend, I just said my son-in-law." ”
I am secretly anxious in my heart, it seems that the yin family of Da Lei is settled.
Old Man Xu and I got up and left our seats and walked out.
Old man Xu didn't bring an entourage, just the two of us.
He was a good driver, and I followed him.
He is full of spring breeze, and I am worried.
I nervously brewed the next plan, and in the end I had to fight hard, and the big deal was to break the net.
Looking at Old Man Xu's words and deeds, he is confident, and his deeds can only be described as unfathomable.
I didn't have a fallout for it, so I had to bite the bullet and walk over. From a distance, I saw Da Lei and Xiao Qian stretching out their heads and shrinking their heads, looking nervously at me, and I didn't know if they saw us. I saw that they had no idea that danger was coming, and my heart was about to jump out, and my palms were sweating.
When Old Man Xu and I approached, we found that Da Lei and the others had mysteriously disappeared.
There were still traces of chaos on the ground, and it was obvious that the people were still there, but when they got closer, they disappeared.
I was amazed, how could a good person suddenly disappear in front of my eyes?
Old Man Xu sighed even more.
You must know that you can make people disappear in an instant under the nose of Old Man Xu, this method is very human.
My mind was in a mess, and suddenly I thought of a person, the old woman, who had appeared before, and now she must have been the fault of this, but it seemed that there was no malice, at least now it solved my thorny problem. You must know that I have to tear my face with the old man surnamed Xu now, and I may not be able to gain the upper hand, not to mention how much Lei Xiaoqian and the two burdens will be. Now that they are gone, give me and the old man a room for relaxation.
Old man Xu said to himself: "Good two people, how can they disappear if they don't see each other? It's really strange and weird, have you seen it?"
Old Man Xu turned his face and looked at me.
I told the truth: "I should have seen it from afar, just like you, but it was gone in a blink of an eye." ”
Old Man Xu muttered, "There are no more people, what should I do?"
I deliberately paused for a moment, and said when I saw the opportunity: "Old Xu, let's say goodbye, my brother's friend suddenly disappeared, and there must be a mystery inside." I'm afraid that something will happen to them, and I will find them as soon as possible, in case something goes wrong, there is no way to deal with them, after all, I brought people out. ”
Old Man Xu didn't answer for a while, and closed his eyes.
I guess Old Man Xu is using mana to search. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed that nothing had been found.
Old man Xu said: "I checked it silently, and there were no of them around. ”
I said, "Old Xu, let's say goodbye, I'm going to find my friend." ”
Old Man Xu also had no other good plan, nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Gongzi, that's the only way." Please keep this handkerchief with you, and wait until you find your friend and let him take a good look at it, maybe it will bring back his memories or something. ”
"Oh, by the way, whenever you come, as long as you shout Lao Xu three times at that old locust tree, I will definitely come out to see you. ”
Old man Xu pointed to an old locust tree not far away. Then he said meaningfully: "Fate is fate, fate can't be avoided, the score should be scored, the union should be combined, the division will be combined, and the division will be combined for a long time."
In the end, Old Man Xu politely said goodbye, and disappeared before I could reply. I was still thinking about how to explain it and end this scene.
Not long after Old Man Xu left, at the moment when I was still in the god of Lengshen, a miracle appeared. Da Lei and Xiao Qian were still squatting in place.
The old woman stood beside them.
The old woman smiled strangely, and she looked at me very meaningfully while cleaning up the black cloth covering the two of them.
Da Lei stood up ignorantly and said to Xiao Qian beside him: "What happened just now, why did it get dark all of a sudden?"
Xiao Qian was also in a daze, and said to Da Lei: "As soon as it gets dark, I find that I can't move my whole body, and I can't shout if I want to shout you." ”
The old woman folded the black cloth, put it in the basket, and said to us softly: "You all go back, it is very dangerous to stay here, in case Lao Xu and they kill the horse pistol, it will be troublesome." ”
Xiao Qian said: "What Lao Xu, what is the horse gun?"
I said to Xiaoqian: "If you don't understand, don't ask more." "It's good to prove that they didn't see us coming, and it saves me a lot of money.
I said to the old woman sincerely, "Thank you, Grandma, I was glad that you did it just now, otherwise things would have been difficult." ”
The old woman said: "Little brother, what are you thankful for? The old body is just this little belongings, I admire you for breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den alone, but it was me." And the old bones were torn apart for them. ”
Da Lei, they didn't know why, they didn't speak, and looked at the two of us strangely.
I hurriedly urged Da Lei Xiaoqian to go back with us.
Everyone did not speak in a hurry, especially when passing through the cemetery, everyone was extra careful.
The New Taipei community is still so quiet, and our footsteps are so noisy.
We went straight back to our building.
When she arrived on the fourth floor, the old woman said with a solemn expression: "Miss Childe, you come in with the old man and sit in my room, I have something to say to you." ”
In fact, I was just about to look for her, so I was not polite, and said, "Then disturb my mother-in-law to rest!"
The old woman said softly, "How many years, you are my first guests. ”
When the old woman opened the door, the first thing she did was not to turn on the light, but to light a candle. She said apologetically: "I'm sorry, that old ghost in my family is afraid of light, how many years, I've been like this." ”
I looked into the room by the dim light. This is like a place where people live, it is simply a mourning hall. The windows were sealed with black cloth, and a long table was placed inside.
A posthumous portrait is enshrined on the long table, not a black cloth photograph, but a portrait. And under the case, there are some paper money, paper ingots, fire paper, and those paper-tied sedan chairs, paper-cut white horses or something. Under the long case, an earthen incense burner, half-lit and half-dark, a few pillars of incense, looking at the accumulation of incense ash, I know that it has not been accumulated overnight.
Because the room is impermeable, the smell in the room is a little smoky, and Xiaoqian's tears are almost choked.
The old woman was accustomed to it, and said to herself: "There is a mess at home, and no one usually comes, so I am too lazy to clean up, you can sit casually, and I will boil some water for you to drink." ”
I hurriedly said, "No trouble." The old woman didn't insist either.
The old woman's house was all that kind of little stool, and we sat down one after another.
As soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but ask, "Hello old woman, thanks to your help, thank you!
The old woman rarely showed a smile and said proudly: "Thank you, I'm exempt." That's a little trick on my side, it's okay for a short time, and it's revealing when it's long. ”
Then she introduced herself again and said, "My surname is Yin, I will be a little older, you can call me Granny Yin." What is your name, boy? By the way, what did that old guy just give you?"
I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and handed it over, saying, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Jiansheng." Then he briefly relayed the story of the handkerchief that the old man Xu said.
Da Lei was calm and looked at the handkerchief, Xiao Qian looked at Da Lei, and her eyes were about to fall off in shock.
Granny Yin was very calm, as if all these were expected by her.
Granny Yin took the handkerchief, looked at it several times, and sniffed the handkerchief close to her nose, and she also saw the bloodstains.
Then, Granny Yin's eyes suddenly lit up a little, and she said to Da Lei and Xiao Qian, "Are you willing to go back to your old memories?"
Da Lei looked at Xiao Qian and me and nodded.
Xiao Qian also nodded firmly.
After the formation just now, I am also full of trust in the old woman. So, I didn't stop it.
Granny Yin instructed Da Lei to press his left hand in the middle of the handkerchief, and then closed his eyes. And instructed Da Lei not to think crankily, to be clear and clear.
Da Lei still looked at me hesitantly, and did as he was told.
