Chapter 10 She's gone
I sat in my second uncle's tea room, drinking tea while thinking about this matter. I felt that my second uncle was like a big pit. As long as I came here, I would be trapped in some strange things!
But when I thought about this, I thought it was nothing. As long as I made up my mind to stop participating in these things, even if the Nine Dragon Coffin was printed on that page, it would be useless.
I made up my mind again and calmed down. I drank tea and flipped through the magazines in my hand casually. I thought about where Kong Xue would come back to take her to play for a while. I was not afraid of the expenses. Anyway, the 600,000 I called to me last time in Lantern Festival only used a very small part.
When I think of Lantern Festival, I always feel an indescribable feeling in my heart. I often ask myself, if Lantern Festival finds me again, will I forgive him? Maybe...
I shook my head, thinking too much myself, maybe I really won’t have a chance to meet in the future.
I looked at the time and found that Kong Xue had been there for a long time. Does it take so long to buy a magazine? I was worried that Kong Xue was not familiar with the place and nothing would happen. I stood up and took out my cell phone, and prepared to call Kong Xue.
At this moment, the door of the tea room was opened. I glanced at it and knew it was Kong Xue. I looked up and wanted to make a joke. Suddenly, I saw something was wrong with her expression. I hurriedly put down my phone and walked over quickly, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Kong Xue shook her head and forced a smile, "I'm fine!"
"It's really okay?" I looked at her expression and knew that the truth was not the case. "Why have you been there for so long?"
Kong Xue lowered her head and said, "This book is very difficult to buy. I went to several newspaper booths, but I didn't buy it!"
Looking at Kong Xue's flickering eyes, I knew she must have not told the truth, but since she didn't want to say it, I can't force her.
I smiled and said, "Forget it if I didn't buy it."
We sat in the second uncle's tea room for a while and chatted for a few words intentionally or unintentionally. Then we went to a certain international fast food chain lock for dinner. Although Kong Xue tried her best to behave relaxed and happy all night, I could see from her eyes that Kong Xue had something in her mind and was absent-minded from time to time.
In view of this situation, after dinner, I found a hotel and settled Kong Xue. Actually, we can live in my second uncle's house, but I don't want to do this. The first is that I really can't estimate the hygiene situation of my second uncle's house at this time. If I am busy, my family will want to compete with the garbage dump. However, if he is idle, the house will be cleaned spotlessly, and even the vegetable leaves in the refrigerator will be in the same direction. No matter what the situation is, it is quite scary. I should not take Kong Xue to take this risk. The second reason is that I always feel that I want to take the girl home if I have nothing to do, and most of it is not thinking about good things. I was worried that Kong Xue would think that I am a hooligan, so I decided to open two standard rooms and live in a pretty good hotel not too far from my second uncle's pharmacy. This is probably the reason why I can't always be a girlfriend.
Kong Xue and I live in two adjacent rooms next door. After sending her back to the room, I went back to my own room. I picked up a water cup, buckled it on the wall between the two rooms, and listened carefully to the sound of Kong Xue's room.
The reason why I did this was definitely not a pervert or a ill-thinking plan, but I really wanted to figure out what happened to her during the period when Kong Xue was separated from me and left the pharmacy.
I had just listened for a while and the sound of Kong Xue speaking came across from the wall. It sounded like someone was calling again. The intermittent voice came...
"Brother Tao, is the...thing...still there..."
"That's good, I found...I want to check it!"
"...No, I will be careful, you...notify you!"
......
Then, the voice of her speech disappeared. I listened for a while, and suddenly a sound of water flowing came. Could it be that Kong Xue was taking a shower? Hearing the sound so clear, she probably did not close the door when she took a shower! Thinking of Kong Xue's graceful figure in the daytime, I couldn't help but feel a little imaginative.
But I quickly shook my head and secretly scolded myself for being shameless. At this time, it was like this.
After hearing Kong Xue's words just now, she should be on the phone with Shi Tao and asked about some things. The key is what Kong Xue found and what she wanted to investigate!
This at least shows that Kong Xue discovered something during that time just now, but she has been with me, so...
I grabbed my coat, opened the door and walked out.
I walked to the side of the road and looked around. Suddenly, I found that next to a small intersection, a small newsstand was about to close the board. I hurried over, "Boss! Boss! Wait!"
The young man who was on the board looked at me in confusion and stopped the action in his hand, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
I pointed to the newsstand, "I want to buy this magazine!"
The young man put the thing in his hand on the ground in surprise, "Which one do you want?"
""Antique Quotes"!" I said.
"Give it!" The young man squatted under the counter, took out a magazine and handed it to me, "Is this book so good? It's so late and I'm still out to buy it!"
I took the magazine and looked at it, and said, "Sorry, I don't want this issue, I want the previous issue."
When the young man heard this, he smiled and shook his head, "It's so evil today. I don't want the new issue, I'll buy expired!" As he said that, he changed me another one.
I took the book, handed him the money, and asked, "I heard from you that, besides me, there are people who come to buy it?"
"Yes!" the young man said, and went to Banban to close the store, "A pretty girl!"
I immediately understood that the beautiful girl he mentioned must be Kong Xue. This place is not far from Uncle Er’s medicine shop. He should have bought the magazine here during the day, but why did she lie to me and say she didn’t buy it?
Actually, it doesn’t make any sense for me to think about it here. The answer must be in the book in my hand! I thanked the young man. The young man waved his hands repeatedly, "You have to deal with these two expired magazines last month. I thank you!"
Farewell to the young man, I walked back to the hotel. I couldn't wait to tear off the plastic packaging of the magazine and found the special article for the auction. When I saw the torn page, my heart suddenly became thrust.
Because on that page is a photo of an item, and that item is the horse-stepped snake statue we once saw in the catacomb passage in the Kong Family Villa!
Now I understand why Kong Xue attaches so much importance to this matter. This item is almost exactly the same as the item collected by the Kong family in terms of form and workmanship. This item is probably related to Uncle Kong or the things that Uncle Kong experienced, and may also have some relationship with the remains of Qilian Mountains.
When Kong Xue called just now, she said that she was going to investigate the matter. And because she hid me, I could probably think that since I have stated many times that I would never be involved in such a thing, Kong Xue felt that telling me this would make me embarrassed and embarrass everyone. So she wanted to investigate it alone.
After thinking through this, I sighed a long sigh, yes! If Kong Xue told me about this, would I go with her? Or would I send her away and turn around and leave by myself? I am really embarrassed!
Before I knew it, I had already walked to the door of the hotel room. I slowly walked to Kong Xue's door, raised my hand to knock on the door, but I stayed in the air for a while, and finally put it down.
When I returned to my room and lay on the bed, I couldn't help but sigh to the sky, why is this! Why is it endless? Can I still be purified for a while, can I let me take a breath! I kept accusing the injustice of fate, did I do something bad in my previous life, and I was entangled in the middle of these messy things in this life, and I couldn't extricate myself!
I thought about it for a long time in my mind, and fell asleep unknowingly. When I woke up the next day, the sun was bright and dazzling outside. Judging from the angle of the sun outside, it should be almost noon!
I got up, washed up, and then knocked on the door of Kong Xue next to me. But after I knocked for a long time, no one answered. I panicked. Could it be that Kong Xue fainted again?
I hurriedly called the floor waiter. I originally planned to ask her to help me open the door, but the waiter told me that Kong Xue had checked out and left about half an hour ago.
I was stunned for a moment, Kong Xue had already left! I took out my cell phone and dialed Kong Xue's phone, but in the end I heard the prompt sound of "No one answered the phone you have called yet, please dial it later."
Although I already knew that Kong Xue would go to the auction to investigate, I didn’t expect that she would leave quietly without a sound! This really caught me off guard!
I know that the magazine said that the auction started two days later. Whether it was Kong Xue or the second uncle, they should have gone straight to Beijing to participate in the auction!
I thought for a while, and finally gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, "Damn it, what did I do in my previous life?" As I said that, I ran to the front desk of the hotel lobby, "Hello, please check it out for me. What time is the nearest train to Beijing today?"
This is a small city, without airports, and not far from Beijing. Nowadays, high-speed rail technology is well developed, so taking a train from here is the fastest way to get to Beijing! I think Kong Xue must have chosen this way!
Soon, the front desk waiter told me that the recent high-speed train to Beijing was one and a half hours later.
Chapter completed!
