Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 54 Second uncle is back

That night, Xiao Ran didn't sleep well.

He dreamed again and again of the previous experience, he and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan fought desperately with Xie Ling, who suddenly turned into a half-human, half-weasel yellow skin and got into a bloody hole.

They went in along the hole, but they saw rows of corpses standing in the open field, and the ground was full of broken porcelain.

Those corpses slowly opened their eyes, green pus flowed out from the seven orifices, but red hair grew on their faces.

In the next second, these corpses shouldered their submachine guns and fought side by side with them. The bullets interweaved into a dense firepower net and shot at the huge figure moving in the dark.

A square cover suddenly fell from the sky, pressing him, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan under it.The darkness didn't make him feel scared or suffocated, but it gave him a sense of peace of mind.

When the square cover was slowly picked up, the surroundings were plunged into darkness and nothingness, but he could see a person on the opposite side wearing a black robe, and his face was also wrapped in black veil.

He slowly reached out and grabbed the black veil on the man's face. As long as he exerted his strength, his face could be seen.

But under the veil, there was a sound like knocking on a coffin board...

Boom, boom, boom...

Boom, boom, boom!

"Manager! Manager!"

Liu Shengli's call to the door suddenly sounded, Xiao Ran woke up suddenly, opened the door, only to see Liu Shengli pointing out the door nervously, stuttering while speaking.

"Jing, manager, the second uncle, the second uncle is back!"

"What second uncle? Your second uncle?"

Xiao Ran rubbed his sleepy eyes, seeing Liu Shengli so nervous, he really couldn't think of the second uncle.

"Second Uncle, my name is Second Uncle, your Second Uncle!"

Uncle?Oh, right.When he was hospitalized, in a daze, he knew that the second uncle had been here many times, busy with his affairs, but because of his head injury, many details were not clear.

But in the days when he was about to be discharged from the hospital, the second uncle went to another place, and he hasn't seen each other until now. I didn't expect the second uncle to come back today.

Xiao Ran hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the front hall. He didn't see the second uncle, but he saw Da Jinya who was about to enter the door with a big smile on his face.

"Yo! Master Xiao! Are you staying up all night stealing cows? These eye circles look like preserved eggs."

Xiao Ran probed to look outside, but there was no sign of his second uncle, so he glanced back at Liu Shengli.

Liu Shengli scratched his head, his face full of puzzlement: "It was still coming just now..."

Da Jinya also looked puzzled: "Master Xiao, it seems that you have guests here today?"

"Jin Ye, you came so early in the morning, do you need me for something? Have you eaten yet? Let's have breakfast together, and talk while eating..." Xiao Ran said.

"No, I really have something good to come to you today. I have an acquainted buyer in Jinmen, and I plan to take Mr. Hu and Mr. Fatty there to see if I can sell both of them. Would you like Don’t you want to go see it too?” Da Jinya said.

Xiao Ran thought about it, although Liu Shengli was lazy and confused, he was not really insane.Since he said that the second uncle was back, it shouldn't be out of thin air.

He took Da Jinya into the back room, gave Da Jinya the small green-glazed lotus-mouthed floral bowl, and said, "Master Jin, I really have some personal matters today and I can't get away. You take this away." , let’s see if we can sell them together, and the approximate price. For the others, as you said, let’s keep them far away.”

Da Jinya stuffed the celadon bowl into his bosom and said, "That's fine! Master Xiao, please wait for my good news!"

After seeing off the big gold tooth, Xiao Ran hurriedly washed up, put on his clothes and hurried out.When passing by the door, he said to Liu Shengli: "Be smart and be careful of Buddha (thief)!"

When the second uncle came back, if there was any place that made him miss so much, he took a quick look at the store and left, there was basically only one place.

After a while, Xiao Ran arrived near Huimin Restaurant.From a long distance, he saw the familiar figure from behind beside the corner seat.

The second uncle wore a denim shirt with frayed corners, a pair of handmade cowhide boots, and a rare cowboy hat on the stool. His mid-length hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head.This dress is almost 10 years ahead of the trend.

Xiao Ran walked over quickly, took the plate from Lingling's hand, and put it in front of the second uncle: "Boss Xiao, make your breakfast."

The second uncle raised his eyelids to glance at him, and said, "Little bastard!" Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The image and past of the second uncle became clear in Xiao Ran's mind.His second uncle has been generous since he was a child, and he is a well-known bully of this generation.When Xiao Ran was young, his second uncle also liked to take him around to play around.

Now the second uncle is over 40, and he is still alone, living a chic life.He looks at least ten years younger than his real age, I don't know if it has something to do with this attitude towards life.

"Where did you come back from? You are covered in dirt." Xiao Ran asked.

"I went to Xiqiang and did some errands. I have been thinking about this for a long time."

The second uncle didn't lift his head, and made a splash of soybean juice.

"Missing this mouth, or thinking of the person who made this mouth?"

Xiao Ran looked at the second uncle with a smirk on his face, he always felt that the second uncle was interested in Mrs. Fang.

"Hey? Then who is it?" Second Uncle suddenly raised his head to look behind Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran turned his head to look, but didn't see anyone worth noting.

As soon as he turned his head, Second Uncle hit him on the head with a chestnut.

"Little bastard, make fun of your second uncle! Hiss...why is your head so hard? What medicine did the hospital doctor give you..."

While speaking, Lingling also brought over Xiao Ran's three-piece suit.Jiaoquan'er, bean juice, and shredded pickled vegetables, the uncle and nephew really have similar tastes in this regard.

After a while of hissing, the plates and bowls in front of the two of them were almost devoid of crumbs.

"Tell me, I'm not here during this time, what's the big deal?"

The second uncle took out a cigarette and a lighter, ready to get one.

Xiao Ran thought about it, although Second Uncle basically tolerated all his nonsense, but he had to start with accepting it.

So he asked mysteriously: "Second Uncle, have you heard of Captain Mojin? I recently met two of them! I even had a fight with them!"

The cigarette case in the second uncle's hand fell to the ground, Xiao Ran was taken aback.The second uncle randomly stomped on the cigarette case on the ground and said, "When will I finish smoking..."

He calmly took out another pack of cigarettes, lit one, took a deep puff, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Xiao Ran told him a series of experiences from the time he met Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, such as the sixteen-character yin and yang feng shui secret art, wild man ditch, and the underground base of the Kwantung Army.

The second uncle listened expressionlessly, smoking a cigarette while playing with sesame seeds with chopsticks, his expression was like listening to a story.

After Xiao Ran finished talking that he had someone translate the contents of the letter yesterday, the second uncle also finished smoking his second cigarette.

He didn't make any comments on the experience Xiao Ran said, just maintained the original posture, took out another cigarette, and smoked it.

"What else?" Second Uncle asked.

Xiao Ran was a little surprised, but also a little frustrated.He thought that such an experience, even for a well-informed person like Second Uncle, would always be a little shocking, after all, there are many almost unnatural things in it.

So he decided to make a big news, and whispered to his second uncle: "I can hear those antiques talking..."

Unexpectedly, the second uncle suddenly sat up straight, stretched his neck and waist, and said easily: "Oh..."

Compared with the calm expression just now, his current state is more like relaxing.The next thing he said, shocked Xiao Ran so much that he almost slipped off the stool.

"Didn't you be able to..."
