I asked what the promise meant, and why I wouldn’t cry until I saw the coffin. How do you want me to give up?
Without making a promise, she just asked me to wait downstairs at home. She would arrive in twenty minutes. By the time I messaged her again, she had stopped replying to me.
I was a little confused, so I changed my clothes and tidied up briefly. I looked at my watch and felt that it was almost time, so I put on my shoes and went out.
I can't believe a woman's sense of time. She said twenty minutes, but I waited downstairs for almost half an hour longer. It was already December at that time, and the cold wind from Siberia was blowing. Give it to me.
My nose was so cold that I was about to go upstairs when I saw a white Audi A4 parked in front of me.
I didn't react at first, until I rolled down the window, I saw that the driver was Xu Nuo, so I asked her if this was your car? Xu Nuo said no, damn, come up quickly, it's not too cold.
What?
I opened the car door and got in. As soon as I got in the car, I scolded her: "Didn't you tell me to go downstairs in twenty minutes? It's almost an hour now. Do you think you can do this?"
Xu Nuo was quite confident: "Then don't I have to pack up and wash my face? Besides, who would have thought it was so cold outside? I came out of the hotel and went home to change clothes, and by the way, I drove my mother's car out. I don't have time to go home.
?”
You made me angry, so I said, do you mean that I wrongly blamed you? Xu promised that you should stop inking soon and don't disturb me while driving. I'll take you to a place and you'll know what's going on when I get there.
I asked Xu Nuo where she wanted to take me, but she didn't tell me. She just told me that she would know when she got there.
Seeing her like that, I didn't ask any more questions. When I had nothing to do, I took another look at the interior of the car, and it felt like it was a high-end version. In fact, just because Hu Jiner promised to give me a red envelope at the beginning, I felt that she
The conditions should be pretty good, and she usually wears all the same brands, but I really didn’t expect her family to be so spoiled by her and let her drive the car around casually.
Xunuo then took me to my destination. Later, when we arrived at the intersection of Sanbao Temple, Xunuo turned a corner and went in. Only then did I feel something was wrong, so I asked her, are you taking me to Sanbao Temple?
She then told me that it was not the case. She had a relative who was a Mr. Yin Yang who happened to open a shop here. She felt that I had been possessed recently and planned to take me to his place to have a look.
I said you were possessed by an evil spirit. I am not going to tell fortunes. You should turn around quickly. He promised to tell fortunes but it was nonsense. He is Mr. Yin and Yang and he has real abilities. Do you think he is one of those charlatans who deceive people?
?
When she said charlatan, I suddenly remembered that the old man didn't know what happened last night. When I met Yingying, he suddenly disappeared. I didn't even know how he got out.
The most important thing is that I don’t even know if he is a human being. Thinking of this, I stopped talking and thought about coming to Sanbao Temple. I can also go to the old man to ask after a while. I just want to know who saved me last night.
Was it him? If it was him, why did he run away later?
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Nuo actually parked the car in front of the old man's store. I remember clearly that the shabbiest facade on the whole street and the dirty plaque must be the old man's store.
I thought to myself what a coincidence, so I asked Xunuo, is your relative an old man? Xunuo said what old man, that was my brother-in-law. After saying Xunuo, he asked me to get out of the car, and I followed her down in a daze.
At that time, I was still thinking, the old man was over sixty, and if he promised to be her brother-in-law, then her father must be in his seventies or eighties? But as soon as I entered, I realized something was wrong. The person sitting on the chair in the room was not an old man, but an old man.
He is a young man who looks to be in his early thirties.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Nuo called out: "Uncle, this is the friend I told you on the phone. Please show him."
Now I was a little confused, so I turned around and asked Xunuo, is this your brother-in-law? Xunuo said that’s right, how about my brother-in-law, isn’t he handsome?
I was confused at that time, and blurted out, Damn it, then who was the old man I saw that day?
Xu Nuo was also stunned: "Where is the old man? What are you talking about?"
I said no. I came to this store a week ago. At that time, there was an old man with a goatee sitting in the store. He was looking at things for me. He also went to school with me last night. That old man
Where did it go?
Xu Nuo asked me if I remembered wrongly. Her brother-in-law had been running this store for several years, and there was no old man at all.
I ignored the promise and turned to look at the young man, but I obviously felt something was wrong with his expression. He lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.
After Xu Nuo finished speaking, the young man raised his head and smiled at me: "I went out of town half a month ago to help someone deal with a haunted house. I just came back the day before yesterday, and the store has not been opened. Brother, you must have remembered it wrong, right?"
"
I shook my head vigorously and told the young man that I couldn't remember it wrong. Your store was the worst on this street and I picked it specially. After I said my promise, he patted me next to me and asked me if I could speak.
There was no sound either.
The young man didn't answer me, but walked up to Xu Nuo and said with a playful smile: "Niece, I didn't eat in the morning. Why don't you buy me a bowl of mutton soup from Li's Baozi Shop?"
I promised that I won't go. It's so far away and it takes half an hour to drive back and forth. Isn't there a bun shop nearby? You can just make do with it.
The young man shook his head and said that he couldn't make do with it. He just wanted to drink mutton soup today. Xu Nuo pointed at me and said that you should show it to him first and then we can drink it together after watching it. It happened that I didn't eat anything in the morning.
But the young man still shook his head with a playful smile and said no, I can't watch, I haven't eaten and I don't have the energy to watch. He stomped his feet in anger at Xu Nuo, but later he couldn't resist him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait, I will buy it for you."
Before going out, she even kicked me and said that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have given it to him. What did I say, I gave you the money for the mutton soup in return for being cheated? She promised to let me go.
After Xu Nuo left, the young man still looked like he didn't deserve a beating: "My eldest niece is so ignorant that you made me laugh."
I didn't say anything, just stood there and looked at him. I could tell from his behavior just now that he must know what was going on with the old man, and it was obvious that she wanted Xu Nuo to go shopping so far away.
Branch away.
Seeing that there was no expression on my face and I didn't answer my words, the young man was obviously a little embarrassed, so he took back his smile after thinking for a while.
Then he walked up to me and stretched out a hand: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Mingyang. If nothing else happens, the old man you said you saw should be my master."
I also stretched out my hand to shake his hand and told him my name was Gu Yan. Then I said that I was just here to see his master and wanted to ask him something.
"Tsk, how can I explain this to you?" Xu Mingyang withdrew his hand. The expression on his face was a bit awkward and felt a bit strange. I asked him what was wrong, is your master not here?
"It's not like he's not here. Hey, there's no way to explain it. Come in with me."
After saying that, Xu Mingyang turned around, opened a curtain and walked in. It should be a back hall, and I followed him in.
Then I saw a scene that I will never forget. There was a table next to one wall of the inner hall. There were candles, tributes, incense burners and other objects on the table. The decoration was obviously a mourning hall.
The old man's black and white photo hangs brightly in the middle of the mourning hall.
