Chapter 1456 Uncle Chen's Memories
So, when the tomb ghost came to its senses, it found itself following behind this human.
Although it was a little surprised, it calmed down again.
Such an important thing...
It's going to be taken back.
……
"Then you have been following Uncle Chen for a few days, and you didn't find anything?"
Xiao Xiao was puzzled.
The tomb ghost was following and monitoring Uncle Chen closely 24 hours a day.
It should know exactly what Uncle Chen did.
Uncle Chen’s previous performance speaks for itself.
He really didn't know what he had taken from the Tomb Ghost, and he didn't know that the Tomb Ghost was by his side before, which means that he wouldn't hide things on purpose.
If the tomb ghost doesn't know what he is looking for...
But the intuition came out. Once the tomb ghost saw such an important thing, he should know that it was what he was looking for.
As a result, after a few days, the tomb ghost was still following the middle-aged man.
……
The tomb ghost shook his head.
If it had discovered something, it would have taken it back long ago.
……
"Then are you sure the things are still here with Uncle Chen?"
Xiao Xiao thought of another possibility.
Could it be that the thing was no longer on Uncle Chen's body, so the tomb ghost couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked?
……
There was a hint of confusion in the tomb ghost's single eye.
Then it nodded.
Ok.
It's OK.
For no reason at all, its heart told it that what it wanted was right next to this human.
……
Looking at the monster's serious expression, Xiao Xiao showed a little helplessness.
What a subjective monster.
Perhaps, this is what is called the mysterious connection?
He stared at me for a moment, and then he confirmed it one last time, "Are you sure?"
"You have to know that you don't have much time left."
This monster can't afford to pick the wrong target.
……
The tomb ghost pursed his lips and then nodded vigorously.
It trusts its own feelings.
"it is good."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Chen, can you tell me what happened when you visited the grave that day?"
"Please tell me even the most insignificant details."
“Maybe, there will be unexpected discoveries.”
……
"is it?"
The middle-aged man scratched his hair and said, "Okay."
"But, the insignificant details, even if you asked me to tell them, I don't know if I would remember them."
The man smiled bitterly.
“Who would bother to remember these things?”
“I’ve been trying to think about it.”
"My head hurts from thinking about it, but I still can't think of anything that I might have taken by mistake from the tomb ghost."
……
"It's okay, Uncle Chen. Maybe you'll suddenly remember a lot of details while you're talking."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
This is often the case.
Sometimes when I am alone pondering, all I can think of are the impressions I already have, and it is easy to end up in a dead end where my mind goes blank.
But when you speak it out loud, you may have a flash of inspiration during the narration process.
……
"Haha, I hope so."
The middle-aged man laughed twice in a somewhat dry voice.
Then, he restrained his expression and thought carefully for a while before speaking with some caution.
"That day……"
Uncle Chen drove his wife and children back to his hometown to visit the graves.
Just like every year.
Everything is in order.
……
The tomb of my hometown is on the mountain.
The usually quiet mountains were very lively that day, even a little noisy.
Along the way, you can see men, women, young and old carrying things for tomb sweeping.
They are also one of them.
……
Uncle Chen's hometown is in the countryside. Unlike the cemeteries in the city where you can drive up, the mountains in the countryside can only be climbed on foot.
It was still a small path with thorns and weeds on both sides.
It's not easy to walk.
The Chen family’s tomb is a little higher up the mountainside.
Good location, great view.
It's just a bit tiring every time I walk up there.
He carried the child the last part of the way up.
He was also blamed by the child's mother for spoiling the child too much.
Having said this, the middle-aged man stopped.
He was a little embarrassed, "Isn't it too trivial?"
Because the young man had asked him to say whatever he thought of, even the most insignificant details, he kept this in mind, and it was as if he was nagging a lot of useless words.
Does what he said before help me find out what I took from the tomb ghost?
Obviously not.
Now time is running out and he still talks so much nonsense.
But other than this, he didn't know what else to say.
Indeed, all he remembered that day were these tiny little things.
There's nothing special.
……
"will not."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Please continue."
"I just hope you can remember more of the little things."
"The more, the merrier."
"is it?"
The middle-aged man smiled and continued speaking as before.
There are a lot of weeds growing around the cemetery.
The entire tombstone also looked gray.
He stopped the old man who was about to clean up.
"Mom, I'm coming."
He pulled out the weeds deftly and wiped the tombstone clean with a rag.
They came early.
It was still daybreak.
The gray-white tombstones gleamed faintly in the morning mist.
"We laid out the offerings, lit incense, and burned a lot of gold ingots."
"The old man muttered a few words in front of the grave."
"I told you about the recent situation at home."
"Then our tomb sweeping is over."
The middle-aged man ended the introduction that day with a few words, "From the beginning to the end, is there anything special?"
"Not at all."
"Besides, what can we take near the cemetery? The only things of some value are the tributes we took away ourselves."
".Did you encounter anything on the way?"
Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.
"On the way?"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Then he frowned and thought.
On the road
"Nothing—"
"what!"
The middle-aged man suddenly shouted in surprise.
The two children were startled.
Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Do you remember?"
"Uh"
The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "I don't know."
"Probably not."
"I just remembered a little thing."
"what's up?"
Xiao Xiao asked at the right time.
“It’s just a small thing really.”
The middle-aged man stressed.
He was afraid that his performance just now would give the young man in front of him a wrong impression.
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I know."
"You just said that."
Middle-aged man:.
“That’s when I came down the mountain.”
The man walked to the back as he went down the mountain.
Always pay attention to the situation of the family members in front.
I kicked something without noticing.
The foreign body sensation made him look down subconsciously.
He turned his head and saw the basket of flowers on the ground?
The middle-aged man bent down in surprise and picked up the small flower basket on the ground.
It's really a small flower basket.
He could completely hold the small flower basket with his five fingers together.
But it is done very delicately.
