Chapter 27: The Photo
Xiu'e, how heavy this word was, everyone present understood. It was this woman, who finally couldn't resist the pressure of life, and chose to leave my second uncle behind, and ran away with that Zhuo Anu back then, although according to my current perspective, her behavior was actually understandable.
Her own father-in-law husband brother-in-law is the village notorious evil spirits, although everyone will not ostensibly ostracize her, but with the toes can understand, in the back of the absolutely no less than be pointed out, plus the living conditions at that time is indeed too poor, a woman with a disabled child is not easy, looking for someone else to marry again for fear of their evil spirits husband to find trouble.
Life was indeed unfair to that woman, and she did not withstand the devastation and chose to escape.
It can be said that it was Xiu'e who changed the life of my second uncle, Zhao Laobai.
If not, Zhao Laobai is still Li Erdan, but there is no denying that if Zhao Laobai is still Li Erdan, it is estimated that he will have a hard time marrying my wife, Orchid, who later became the flower of the village, and, of course, he won't have today's achievements.
It seems that the time and the destiny of everything is not clear.
My grandmother once asked Zhao Bajie could ever want to find Xiu'e, at that time Zhao Bajie's answer was to look for no news, and at this time, my father said this sentence, so that the original wind and fire of the second uncle instantly a little bit of a loss of concentration.
I originally thought that the reason my old man photographed that jade pendant was only because it looked like the jade pendant in my house, but I didn't realize that it was still a little bit related to Grandma Xiu'e.
"Brother, tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Bajie lit a child's cigarette and asked my old man.
"Back then, my family has a complete this jade pendant, it itself is two halves of something, is considered my family's heirloom treasure, right, in the Xiu'e aunt and Zhuo Anu left, my grandfather did not have anything else to give them, sent half of it out, after many years I just have so little memory, today's auction of this jade pendant with that one, is indeed very much imagined. " My old man said.
"En?" I instantly wondered.
My old dad waved his hand and said, "I know that your grandfather's notes said that Zhuo Anu eloped with your grandma Xiu'e, in fact, it's not, at that time, your grandfather had no choice, he knew that your grandma Xiu'e wasn't easy, and he was afraid that your grandpa Guozhong would come to look for trouble, so their departure was considered to be the acquiescence of and even support from your grandpa, and after they left, your second uncle was passed over to Zhao's family, and after that his whereabouts were unknown, and he had no idea of what happened to him. Your grandfather in the first few years of this matter has been grudging, that he is the one who harmed your second uncle, the content of his notes, should be the reason why he is regretting it, this you can ask your second uncle."
Zhuo Anu's elopement with second uncle's grandmother was tacitly approved by grandpa? –I was depressed, but I was also immediately relieved. Still, that in itself was an understandably helpless choice.
If that was the case, then everything was easy to understand and explain.
I have a whole jade pendant gifted by Li Guozhong at home, and my grandfather gave half of it to Zhuo Anu and Xiu'e as a traveling allowance, and as a result, that half has now arrived at this auction.
My old man speculated that Xiu E may have fallen in the hands of Huang Lao, this is no excuse, but looking at the unnatural face of the second uncle, I feel quite bad, after all, after reading my grandfather's notes, I think the Li Erdan is the most tragic character, he obviously did not do anything, a small child almost bear the weight of life can not bear.
My old dad finally looked at my second uncle and said: "So the value of this jade pendant itself you will not look away, he may be worth a little for me, after all, I still have the other half of the hand, but for that person is worth money, he so want to get, I think if he is not a real fool, perhaps with Xiu'e aunt is also more or less a little bit of relationship."
Pops' words made Second Uncle's face even more ugly.
"Second uncle, don't worry, this, maybe my old dad looked away, second, you said that this jade pendant might have been resold by them at that time, it's been thirty years, and it's not necessarily from their side." I advised Second Uncle.
Second uncle waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's been decades, how old am I. Besides, do you guys really feel I'm that fragile?"
Although the words are so said, their own old mother, decades without any news, any one would like to go looking for, my second uncle still made a phone call, seems to be with today's auction to greet the people said: "Old black, tonight's that last plucked away half a la the jade pendant of the Lord, do you know who is it?"
Uncle Two was on speakerphone, so I heard the voice over there and said, "Master Eight, what rules of the road don't you understand? Is it convenient for me to divulge this information? There are a lot of people who are curious about that master, who made him so big?"
"I'll do you a favor, it's not a big deal." The second uncle said directly hung up the phone, that is quite domineering, but this is also in my expectations, today the second uncle can let the bodyguard with a gun into the auction house, surely will not be really afraid of the owner of the auction house.
After five minutes, the second uncle grabbed the phone and looked at it, apparently came the message, after that stood up and said to us: "Go."
Second uncle drove, the back of a few cars to follow, to the Hilton, a group of people volubly got off the car, that old black or gave my second uncle face, directly to the master where to live are sent over, and so we arrived at the room, found that the door of the room is hidden.
And the table in the room, there is a yellowed old photo, the second uncle took the photo looked at a long time, trembling handed my old man.
I went over to look at it, on the photo was a man and a woman, dressed in what seems to be very old-fashioned nowadays, and the photographic technology at that time was average, but still you could tell from the photo that the clean-cut woman and the handsome man, it was indeed a very suitable couple.
"This is your Grandma Xiu'e when she was young." My old man said.
I looked at my second uncle, he was clenching his fists, that person grabbed this jade pendant tonight, and now that I saw this photo, I can be sure that it's not a coincidence, that person, even expected that we would come looking for us, so he left the photo on this table.
"Check this Zhou Dalong! Check! I want to find it out even if I have to go to heaven! Live to be tough die to see the corpse!" Second Uncle roared in a low voice.
If he said he wasn't nervous about this kind of thing, did he really not get nervous?
After we exited the hotel, the second uncle's mood has not been very good, has been frowning, but so late we still separate, as long as I am in Luoyang, Chen Jiuzi and I are cohabitating relationship, before and she is alone feel nothing, today after the people risked to save me, I was feeling very embarrassed.
All the way I don't know how to talk to her, at the time of getting off the bus, I really can't help it, said a big thank you, this little girl just calmly looked at me, making me run away.
Waiting for us to return to their own house, in the corridor, I saw our door stood a person, Chen Jiuzi two subconsciously walked to my body, after today's matter I also know the lightness of the matter, did not show off, and even ready to run at any time.
We stood and did not move, that side of the person standing in our doorway but raised his hand to do surrender towards us, walking close to me to see clearly this person looks very familiar, I feel that I know him, but can not think of who he is.
"Old Huang's henchman, Mr. Zhai." Jiu Liang whispered.
"Little brother San Liang, I want to talk to you." That Mr. Zhai smiled kindly at me and said, his face full of sincerity.
"Didn't manage to take my life, and now you want me to enter the trap?" I said.
"Please believe me, I came here with sincerity, I came today, it has nothing to do with Mr. Huang, it's on behalf of my personal identity. Also, I can help you answer a lot of things, things you don't know." He said.
"Go to the house to talk." Chen Jiuzou promised for me.
"Thank you, this young lady." Mr. Zhai said.
When we arrived at the house, Chen Jiuzou went back to his room, I sat on the sofa with this Mr. Zhai and I spoke, "Tell me, what is it that you want from me? We didn't seem to know each other before."
"I know about that dream you had." Mr. Zhai said to me.
It was this again! I feel like this matter is actually quite humiliating, heck a bunch of us have been made to look like monkeys by Old Huang!
"Yeah, I know you know, and even more so, I know you're capable, what are you telling me this for?" I asked.
"That bottle with the white hair inside is a fake, it was deliberately placed in that position beforehand by Old Huang, you should know this, so I would like to ask you, aren't you curious about where that altar you rescued in your dream is?" He asked.
"What with what?" I said, confused a bit by the relationship between those altars.
"The altar in your dream, in fact, has also been dropped, which is very complicated, in three words I can't tell you clearly, well, I can only say to you now, that the yellow-skinned spirit, indeed, ran away, and now its whereabouts are unknown." Mr. Zhai said.
