Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 380 Still Confused
Xiao Ran looked at his second uncle's shrinking back, and suddenly realized that it was the first time he felt his second uncle's oldness and loneliness, and it was also the first time he saw his second uncle's madness and gaffe just now.

"Second uncle..."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and the second uncle's heavy steps of climbing the stairs stopped again, turned his head, and squeezed out a difficult smile on his somewhat pale face.

"Xiaoran, don't worry, I'm fine..." He paused for a while and then said, "...I will definitely be able to undo this curse, and I will definitely live...I will definitely be able to..."

The second uncle kept repeating this sentence, and walked up sadly until he left the entrance of the basement.Xiao Ran's heart trembled, his nose felt a little sour, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

Only then did he realize how much this childless second uncle cared about him.It turned out that the almost crazy behavior before was entirely because of worrying about his safety, so he was full of fear and self-blame for the failure of the recasting of the Faqiu seal.

Xiao Ran wiped his face, quickly tidied up all the things in the basement, and hurriedly crawled out of the basement.But when he came to the lobby of Baorongzhai, only Liu Shengli was left to make the bedding.

"Manager, the second uncle left by himself just now. I thought he was not very happy. I asked him a question. He said he would go back to his place first and come to see you tomorrow."

Seeing Xiao Ran going downstairs, Liu Shengli hurriedly reported the situation first.

Xiao Ran nodded, and asked again: "Where's my dad?"

Liu Shengli laughed and said, "Hey, sir, you should be confused. Don't be confused when you shouldn't be. People don't need to wait for them to go to the toilet, wash their faces and brush their teeth. They clean up after work. They turn out of the cabinet and sleep on the floor. Yes. I have to say that the uncle is a blessed person..."

"Sure, Liu Er, you've become more and more eloquent these days, how about I give you this shop and you'll be the manager?"

Liu Shengli laughed, closed the door of the store and got into the bed of the camp bed.

Xiao Ran tidied up and went back to the bedroom with a bunch of things, and saw that Xiao Changfeng had already made a floor not far from his bed, lying down to sleep quietly, with a smile on his lips.

And his young bachelor's room is equipped with standard features: wine bottles and bread, peanuts and other snack wrappers all over the floor, socks, pants and other underwear thrown around, and crooked stools, etc., at this time All returned in an orderly manner.

It is estimated that when he and his second uncle were busy in the basement just now, Xiao Changfeng was not idle and cleaned up his bedroom.What Liu Shengli said was "cleaned up very well" originally referred to his bedroom.It seemed that although Xiao Changfeng didn't recognize him, he was not completely confused, and he could take care of himself completely, which made him feel much more at ease.

"It's so clean, how can people live in it..."

Xiao Ran complained nonchalantly, but a tinge of warmth rose in his heart, and some fragmented pictures flashed through his mind quickly, as if in a room full of sunlight, amidst laughter, the tall Xiao Changfeng and another A figure from the back that makes Xiao Ran feel warm and at ease is cleaning up the house.

He seemed to be able to smell the fresh scent of soapy water wafting through the room.

But these images just flashed by, and he wanted to catch them but was in vain.Trying to recall again, those pictures disappeared like broken bubbles, and he couldn't recall them anyway.

The headache came suddenly after drinking, and Xiao Ran felt dizzy, and the blood vessels in his brain were throbbing.He hurriedly washed up and threw himself on the bed.

At night, he seemed to hear Xiao Changfeng get up to go to the bathroom, and then stood by his bed again, looking carefully at his face.But Xiao Ran seemed to be crushed by a ghost, he couldn't even move his eyelids.

"what?"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Changfeng suddenly uttered a voice full of doubts, and then slowly returned to the floor.As he calmed down, Xiao Ran also fell into a deep sleep again.

When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.He turned over and got up, and saw that the floor beside him had been folded and placed on the stool, and Xiao Changfeng had disappeared.

He quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the hall. Seeing that Liu Shengli had opened the store, he hurriedly asked, "Liu'er! Where is my dad?"

Liu Shengli stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Master said he was going to buy breakfast, and told me not to wake you up..."

"He is confused, why did you let him go out by himself!" Xiao Ran shouted.

Liu Shengli quickly retracted his unfinished stretch, and said, "Master is not confused at all. When I got up, he was chatting with the aunt next door. He opened the door..."

Xiao Ran didn't care about talking nonsense with Liu Shengli, so he hurried out, and Liu Shengli shouted behind him: "I told him the location of Mrs. Fang's shop..."

When Xiao Ran arrived at Mrs. Fang's shop, Lingling threw herself into Xiao Ran's arms like a bird, regardless of her hands.Xiao Ran touched his body, took out two big white rabbits and stuffed them for her, and asked, "Lingling, did you see an old grandpa..."

"You said Grandpa Xiao, he is here, buy it and go back early!" Lingling said.

Xiao Ran slapped his head, although their father and son had amnesia to varying degrees, but the others did not. Lingling also lived here since she was a child, and this was not the first time she saw Xiao Changfeng.

"Lingling, don't bother Uncle Xiao..."

Seeing Mrs. Fang coming, Lingling made a face and ran back to the store.Sister-in-law Fang said worriedly: "Xiao Ran, your father just left not far away and said that your second uncle came back and wanted to buy it and go back early. I feel that he is a little... I didn't dare to ask more questions, so hurry up and chase after him. "

Xiao Ran bid farewell to Mrs. Fang, and walked all the way back along the road pointed by Mrs. Fang. The old people on the road were all greeting Xiao Ran, and most of the words they said were "your father is back".

The more Xiao Ran walked, the more he felt at ease. The seven aunts and eight aunts along the way had become the most ideal cameras and road signs, and Xiao Changfeng couldn't lose them.But what did Mrs. Fang mean when she said, "Your second uncle is back"?
Just thinking about it, he stepped into the store and saw Liu Shengli and his second uncle sitting around a small table, eating fried dough sticks and eating pickles.Xiao Ran was a little surprised, so the second uncle really came?But how did his father, Xiao Changfeng, be so unpredictable?
"Sit down and eat quickly. I just came here just in time for your dad to buy breakfast. He went to heat up the soy milk..." said the second uncle.

Seeing the smile on Liu Shengli's face, Xiao Ran couldn't hold back any longer, and sat down slowly, full of doubts.As soon as his butt touched the stool, he saw Xiao Changfeng coming over with a pot of steaming soymilk, and when he saw him, his face was full of smiles.

"Long sky! You finally came back after walking for so many years. I was shocked last night. Come on, it's all your favorite food. Tell me where you have been for so many years..."

Xiao Changfeng said such a big thing to Xiao Ran with joy on his face, which made Xiao Ran's eyes wide open.Immediately afterwards, Xiao Changfeng turned to Xiao Changkong, and said with a serious face, "Xiao Ran, are you called Second Uncle?"

It was only then that Xiao Ran suddenly realized that Xiao Changfeng had become confused again and had completely misidentified him and his second uncle.He quickly waved his hands and said, "I've called, I've called..."

Xiao Changfeng's face sank, and he said, "Don't smooth things over for this kid, he's been naughty since he was a child, no matter how big or small, why don't you hurry up and call your second uncle?"

The second uncle had no choice but to raise his eyelids and shouted to Xiao Ran with a half-smile: "Second...uncle!"

Xiao Ran swallowed the fried dough sticks that he hadn't finished chewing with a "gudong", and the second uncle's expression clearly read "If you dare to promise, I will blow your head off"...

Finally Liu Shengli couldn't hold it anymore, he burst out laughing with a "puchi", sprayed the fried dough stick residue and soy milk from his nostrils to the ground.Unexpectedly, Xiao Changfeng got up quickly and came over, patted Liu Shengli on the back worriedly and said, "Uncle Liu, eat slowly, you are quite old..."

Xiao Changfeng was so confused that he regarded Liu Shengli as Liu Shengli's grandfather and directly raised him for two generations.This time, both Xiao Ran and his nephew looked at Liu Shengli who looked innocent.
