Chapter 43 Mysterious Woman
I held back the countless swear words that surged in my heart, "I guess you are a second fool! If you talk nonsense, I will die!"
"Hey!" The other party quickly stopped him, "Brother Ran, don't be anxious, it's me, I'm Xiaoliu!"
"Xiao Liu?" I know this Xiao Liu. He is a guy in Uncle Er's pharmacy. He is in his early twenties. He likes to play games and joke, but he is not very careful. "Xiao Liu, have you called me? What are you asking me for?"
Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone said to me, "Brother Ran, someone called the store this morning and said he wanted to find you."
"Look for me?" I was stunned for a moment, then a little excited, "Who? Who is looking for me? Is it my second uncle?" After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao next to me hurried over.
Xiaoliu said, "Brother Ran, don't be excited, it's not the second master."
When I heard him say this, I felt a little disappointed. Yuanxiao patted me next to me. I continued, "Who is looking for me?"
Xiao Liu said sarcastically: "Brother Ran, he is a woman! He sounds very young and has a sexy voice. He should be a beauty!"
"Female?" I was a little confused. "There are not many women who have been in contact with me, and I can call the second uncle's pharmacy. Who will this person be?"
Xiaoliu continued: "Brother Ran, are you trying to make someone else's girl so irresponsible? I'm here to come!"
"Get out!" I cursed at the phone, and when I looked up, I looked at Yuanxiao with a slutty smile on my face. I kicked him under the bed.
I asked Xiaoliu, "What did this person say?"
Xiaoliu said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked if you are there. If I said I was not there, she didn't say anything. Oh! By the way, she wanted you to call, but I don't know what kind of romantic debt you owe, and I didn't dare to tell her. Brother Ran, are you right to say I did this?"
My mind was full of thought about who this woman would be. When I heard Xiao Liu's words, I replied casually: "Yes, yes!"
Xiao Liu laughed, "You are indeed in debt!"
"Fart!" I glared at the Lantern Festival again, sat on the side and nodded, and then asked Xiaoliu, "What else did she say? Did you say who she is?"
Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "There is no such thing, but she left a phone number and said that if you contact you, you will ask you to call her."
"Oh !" I frowned, "Then tell me your phone number!"
Xiao Liu smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Ran, I didn't expect you to call me at this time. I'll leave the piece of paper that recorded the phone in the store. Why don't I tell you tomorrow?"
"..." I shook my head helplessly, "Forget it! I'll go to the store myself tomorrow." Uncle Er's pharmacy shop is also in the county town, not very far from where we live now. Uncle Er has been away for so long, and I think I have the responsibility to help him take care of the pharmacy shop. Although I don't know what I need to do, I should at least go over and take a look.
"Okay, that's it! See you tomorrow." Xiao Liu continued, "But, Brother Ran, I think the girl is quite pitiful, you should be responsible..."
Before he could finish talking, I hung up the phone. I leaned on the bed, thinking about who this person might be.
Yuanxiao walked over and said, "You kid, can you hook up with another one so quickly?"
I glanced at him and said, "That's a big deal. After we come back from Altay, it's almost the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I'll go to your place. Then something happened to my ancestral home, so I'll come back first, and then you'll come over too. How can I have time to hook up with anyone! Don't be nonsense!"
Yuanxiao blinked and nodded, "It's true, who will this woman be?"
I shook my head gently, and Yuanxiao fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, I suddenly picked up my phone and started to read the content of the text message.
I didn't have anything shameful on my phone, and I wasn't afraid of him watching it. But I was a little curious and asked, "What are you looking at?"
While looking at the text messages that call reminders, Yuanxiao asked without raising her head: "What is the phone number in your second uncle's store?"
I told Yuanxiao the landline number. After watching Yuanxiao for a while, his expression suddenly became a little serious, "Zhuoran, I think of this woman, we should be careful. She was not coming to you, but to your second uncle!"
Lantern Festival's words made me stunned and I asked, "What do you say?"
Yuanxiao flipped through my phone to me, "These caller IDs are basically the same number, and this number is from your second uncle's store, and another mobile phone number. This number should be from the guy named Xiaoliu in the store. So this shows a problem. This woman does not have your mobile phone number! She can't contact you directly, so she uses this roundabout way."
"So, I don't know this person." After hearing the words of Lanxiao, I nodded, "You continue to say."
Yuanxiao continued: "And this woman has a phone number in your second uncle's shop, which means she knows your second uncle. According to my guess, this person should be looking for your second uncle, but she can't find it, and then she hopes to find you and wants to find your second uncle through you."
I was impressed by Yuanxiao's reasoning, "What do you mean, is this my second uncle causing a romantic debt?" Yuanxiao looked at me and didn't say anything. I thought about it, but I felt it was wrong, so I said, "This is not right. If this person came to provoke a criminal, he should look for my father or other elders in the family, why do I look for me?"
Yuanxiao looked at me straight and said slowly: "Don't forget that you only know some of the things in your Zhuo family except for your second uncle!"
"You mean..." I raised my voice as I was excited, and immediately realized it, I lowered my voice and said, "What do you mean is related to this series of backlash?"
Yuanxiao nodded slowly, "I think this is probably the case!"
The words of Lantern Festival made my heart sank. I don’t know if Lantern Festival is right, but the analysis seems to be very clear.
I walked into the bathroom to wash my face, thinking to myself, I would get the phone number tomorrow before talking. I thought in my mind, maybe I could find someone to check this number, maybe I could find some clues. I looked at myself in the mirror, and it seemed that I was the only one who was dead. Some things were too unavoidable. Let the soldiers block the water and cover the soil!
This night, I slept very uneasy and had many dreams. I dreamed of a dark gate with countless scorpions crawling on it. Several people were standing in front of the door and waiting for it, as if they were guarding against something inside the door.
I walked over and looked curiously, and found that one of them was my grandfather!
As soon as I was about to rush over, I was pulled from behind by someone. When I turned around, I saw that it was my second uncle. I was delighted. Just as I was about to talk to him, he disappeared suddenly. I woke up in anger.
I opened my eyes, took a deep breath, turned to look at the Lantern Festival on another bed, and he was still snoring like thunder. I took a sip of water, turned over and continued to fall asleep.
Soon I fell asleep again. This time I dreamed of Kong Xue, but she still smiled like a flower and had picturesque eyebrows. It’s a pity that it has gone far away.
I woke up soon and thought about Kong Xue, and felt a little disappointed. I once thought for a moment whether the woman who came to find me would be Kong Xue, but reason told me that this was impossible. She should be in France at this time. And she had my phone number, but maybe she had deleted it.
I looked at the still dark sky outside the window, shook my head vigorously, threw away all the messy thoughts, and forced myself to continue sleeping... In this way, I finally got to dawn and I was dizzy that night.
I slept in a daze for a while before I struggled to get up.
I don’t know when Lantern Festival was no longer in the room. My whole body was still a little sore. I leaned against the bed and looked at the news of my friends on my phone, watching them all be busy with life, or spend money in a drunken and dreamy way, or show their love, or show off their children. In fact, I have no interest in these things themselves. I just look at their appearance. I can tell myself that the weird world underground is just by chance, and this is where I live. I don’t know what kind of psychology this is, maybe I’m looking for my sense of existence in the real world!
As my fingers slide, a familiar avatar enters the screen. The pretty face was so familiar, but now it seems a little strange.
In the photo, Kong Xue was holding a glass of red wine in her hand and stood in front of a beautiful farmhouse. There was a sentence under the photo: Bordeaux, let me start to forget!
Looking at the photo of Yiren still smiled like a flower, but I felt a little sad. Maybe Bordeaux's red wine made her forget something, which was a good thing for her.
Just as I was thinking, the door suddenly opened. Yuanxiao walked in with soy milk and fried dough sticks. When she saw me lying on the bed, she said, "Wake up? Come on, have some breakfast. The fried dough sticks are fried well, crispy and delicious." As she said that, Yuanxiao pulled out of the bag and held them in her mouth. Then she opened the cup containing soy milk, took a sip, smashed it, it tasted good, "If there was a little spicy pickles, it would be perfect!"
I looked at his eating habits and found it interesting. Now I finally know how Lanxiao's body came from. Although I was willing to lie on the bed, when I saw him eating and drinking, I was also attracted by his strong appetite, so I jumped out of bed and had a feast with Lanxiao.
After eating and drinking, Yuanxiao and I left the room and went straight to my second uncle's pharmacy.
Since we came early, as soon as we entered the store, I saw the accountant in the store leading several friends to clean up, and Xiao Liu was also inside. This is what I admired my second uncle. Although the second uncle is careless and sometimes a little vulgar, the pharmacy is well run. I have never seen him do any training or implement any system, but these guys do not cheat or be sloppy. The second uncle is the same as the other person. Although it is not very disciplined, everyone can do their job well.
