Chapter 79 The same year
The thoughts that flashed through my mind made me gasp. I quickly picked up the teacup in front of me and took a sip to calm my mood. I thought about it in my heart, then smiled at Nie Zhenyun and said, "Uncle Nie, I really don't know if I don't listen to you. My second uncle turned out to be of this temper back then."
"Yes," Nie Zhenyun nodded.
I pretended to be unintentionally asked, "When was my second uncle keen on fighting?"
Nie Zhenyun put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at me.
I called, "Ah, I'm just curious, so I want to ask."
"I have to think about this." Nie Zhenyun lightly pointed his forehead, thought for a while and said, "I remember it was almost twenty years ago."
"Twenty years ago?" I blurted out in surprise. It was twenty years ago, and it seemed that the starting point of these strange events I had experienced was almost twenty years ago. At this moment, I was really eager to know what happened back then!
If the second uncle started to be keen on fighting back twenty years ago, what caused him to change such a person?
I continued to pretend to be calm and said to Nie Zhenyun: "It's really strange. Did my second uncle short of money that year?" After I said that, I picked up the teacup and looked at Nie Zhenyun.
Nie Zhenyun leaned back on the sofa, picked up his shoulders and looked at me with a smile. I was uncomfortable when he looked at me, and smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Uncle Nie, why are you looking at me like this?"
Nie Zhenyun narrowed his eyes, "Young Master, you have been testing me with words. What do you mean?"
Nie Zhenyun's words shocked me. I was indeed trying to understand the situation of my second uncle back then, but I didn't want to expose my motives, so I kept trying to understand the situation indirectly. However, how smart a person like Nie Zhenyun is, he immediately understood my thoughts. Now that I have exposed me, I have already given me a lot of face.
I also know that I did not do the right thing just now. It is like adding fuel to the fire when I argue like this. The only thing that can be remedy is to apologize frankly.
I quickly stood up, "Uncle Nie, I'm sorry, I'm really rude. I want to know some of my second uncle's situation back then, so I'd like to ask Uncle Nie to tell me."
Nie Zhenyun tapped the handrail of the sofa with his hands, "Yes, if you have something to say, I hate talking around the bush."
I nodded quickly and said yes.
Since I have said this, I don't have to hide it, so I asked directly
He said: "Uncle Nie, I just want to know if my second uncle encountered something twenty years ago?"
Nie Zhenyun shook his head gently, "I'm going to tell you, I really don't know about this matter. Because we rarely met that year." After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and I secretly complained in my heart. Since I didn't know anything, wouldn't I be tempted for nothing, and he even robbed me of it.
But I didn't give up and asked, "So did my second uncle have anything special about my second uncle that year?"
Nie Zhenyun stroked his chin gently, thought for a while and said, "This, your second uncle was indeed a bit strange that year. Before, because he liked antiques, he had close contact with people in the undraft circle, and even occasionally went to the field. Although he didn't do this often, your second uncle's ability was inherited from the family, and you also knew this, so each family would still be willing to participate."
I nodded. I had deeply experienced the second uncle's attainment in fighting.
Nie Zhenyun continued: "But from that year on, your second uncle's behavior suddenly became extremely low-key. Not only is it difficult to see your second uncle in the backfight circle, but it is difficult to find your second uncle's trace even in the entire antique circle."
"Oh?" The situation Nie Zhenyun said was indeed very strange. My second uncle has been obsessed with these things since he was young. If he put them down for a short time, it is possible. However, if he didn't get in touch with this for a whole year or even longer, there is only one reason, that is, my second uncle is busy with an extremely important thing and ignores his hobby.
I took a deep breath and thought about it carefully, but I had no idea. I couldn't help but rub my forehead and muttered unconsciously: "What happened that year?"
"Uh," Nie Zhenyun frowned and thought for a while before saying to me: "If something happened that year, there was really a big event that year, and it was the biggest thing in the undulating circle in the past century!"
"What's the big thing in the Circle of Fighting?" I thought for a moment, and with the twenty years ago that Nie Zhenyun mentioned just now, I immediately thought of what he was referring to, and subconsciously blurted out: "Is it because the four major families joined forces to join Gurbantonggut?"
After hearing what I said, Nie Zhenyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "That's right, it should be your second uncle who told you."
I nodded and replied, "Yes, is my second uncle's change related to this matter?"
"I think it's not, so I didn't.
It was mentioned," Nie Zhenyun shook his head, "Because before this incident, your second uncle was nowhere to be seen. Besides, the four major families intended to invite your second uncle to participate in that operation, but your second uncle refused. I think you should know about this, right?"
Yes, that's it. If things are as I guessed before, that is, the second uncle changed his style of conduct because of an extremely special thing, then it means that when the four major families began to plan a joint action, this extremely special thing had already happened! The second uncle's change really has nothing to do with this matter.
But if it weren't for this, what would it be? It had happened at that time and had such a great impact on Uncle Second, all I could think of was me who was seriously ill at that time. Is the truth of the matter just that Uncle Second wanted to cure my illness? So why did he keep going to the ground to fight? It was also to find a way to save me? This sounded a bit incredible. Could it be that the way to save me was hidden underground?
This matter was confusing. I closed my glasses tightly and let out a long breath. I drank the tea in the cup in front of me, and looked up and saw Nie Zhenyun looking straight at me. I smiled reluctantly, and then asked casually: "Uncle Nie, do you still remember when the four major families jointly operated?"
Nie Zhenyun did not think too much this time, but said, "I have an impression of this year, because our country just held the Asian Games the year before, and this happened in the second year!"
The Asian Games twenty years ago must have referred to the one in 1990. The second year of its 4 major families joined forces to enter Gurbantonggut was 1991!
But what's the use of knowing this?
I shook my head gently, picked up the teapot and filled the tea cup in front of Nie Zhenyun, and then filled myself with tea. While I was upside down, I muttered in my heart, "1991, 1991..."
As I was thinking about it, suddenly, I remembered something, like a flash of lightning flashed in my mind, 1991!! I said why do I always feel that this year is familiar? It is because the abandoned camp we discovered in the Qilian Mountains was frozen in 1991!
The Qilian Mountains were conducted in an organized survey, and the four major families entered Gurbantonggut, and both things happened twenty years ago. So will there be any connection between them!!
