Mystery Collection 2

After returning from the small town of Kalia, Gu Tingxi went to live in the old house for a few days. It was the New Year's Eve, and there was an endless stream of relatives visiting. It's about to collapse.

The old lady was very happy, she shouted all day long, making Gu Tingxi unable to open her mouth even if she wanted to leave.

On this day, my aunt brought her ten-year-old grandson to visit, and she started to sell her niece before her butt was hot.

Between the lines is the hope that the old lady can introduce her to a good partner.

As long as my aunt doesn't covet his brother, Gu Tingxi will be quite happy listening to her, eating melon seeds and listening to her bragging, and finally ask: "Auntie, you used to be a supermarket salesman?"

The cousin said with a smile: "The fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. My niece is really nice. You haven't seen it before, but you can't figure it out."

Just as Gu Tingxi was about to speak, her chubby grandson ran up to Gu Tingxi drinking milk, and opened his mouth and said, "Little uncle, give me the lucky money."

"Naughty ghost, what are you talking about? Will your little uncle miss your New Year's money?" The cousin smiled shyly and patted his grandson on the shoulder a few times.

Gu Tingxi rolled his eyes speechlessly, took out his wallet and took out 2000 yuan, handed it to the little fat man and said, "Here, go back and put a red envelope on your own."

The little fat man quickly put the money into his pocket, and smiled triumphantly at his grandma.

Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, there are still many relatives and friends who come to pay New Year's greetings, Xu Jianyang's mother Chen Manhua also came.

Chen Manhua is nearly fifty years old, but still has a girlish figure. She wears a simple black long sweater and a string of elegant pearl necklaces around her neck. The heels of her boots make a crisp sound every time she steps on the ground. knocking sound.

Chen Manhua smiled leisurely, and said gently: "I think Tingting has really grown up in the past few years, not only has a good temper, but also is sensible, and he is still a child in school, so he knows how to give the juniors New Year's money, but this point The money is enough to buy something, do you think this is sending beggars?"

My aunt's face turned white and red, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and drill into it.

Gu Tingxi glanced at her, changed the subject and said, "Auntie, I'm working in a bookstore now, and the boss only gives me 1000 yuan a month. Do you think he picks it?"

Chen Manhua said with a fake smile: "You and our Jianyang are really good brothers. One is in the bookstore and the other is in the flower shop. I didn't expect that I have taught a gardener in most of my life."

The old lady hadn't spoken until now, but now she spoke: "There is no high or low occupation. I think Yang Yang is a good boy with ideas. Don't be too attached to him. The children will grow up sooner or later."

The old lady sighed slightly, her words were full of sadness.

Gu Tingxi hugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "I'll be a child when I grow up, you have to give me pocket money all the time, okay?"

"Don't think about making progress. When your brother was your age, he had already graduated early and joined the company to work. It's like you hang out in a bookstore every day. Tell grandma, what books have you read?"

Aunt Biao looked at Gu Tingxi with a strange expression, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Gu Tingxi said casually, "I watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

The old lady smiled and asked: "Who is in the allusion about the seven captures and seven moves?"

Gu Tingxi: "..."

"Why did Zhang Xiu want to assassinate Cao Cao?"

Gu Tingxi quickly said: "I know this, Cao Cao must have slept with his wife!"

"Nonsense!" The old lady patted him on the head holding back a smile.

Everyone laughed, Chen Manhua said: "Tingting also wants to marry a wife?"

The old lady didn't make a sound, and took a sip of tea from the teacup.

Aunt Biao smiled, and said lightly: "How is this possible? How did I hear that Tingting fell in love with a man? Since he likes men, why would he miss girls?"

The people in the living room gasped, their eyes wandered around Gu Tingxi's face and then fell back on the face of the old lady. Everyone dared not show their anger and waited for the old lady's reaction.

Aunt Biao smiled and said: "I also heard that the man is an employee of the bookstore, Ting Ting, is Aunt Biao's news accurate? I saw it that day, you and that man were chatting on the road... "

The old lady looked at her aunt with a blank expression, her expression was not happy or angry, she just stared at her without blinking, and she felt chills behind her.

"Shut up!" The old lady slammed the teacup on the table, and said coldly, "Chen Xiurong! You are in control of my grandson! Who gave you the guts to be in my Fang family's old house?" Chew your tongue!"

My aunt's body trembled, and she was about to defend herself when the little fat man in her arms wrinkled her face and burst into tears.

Gu Tingxi looked at the old lady in a state of bewilderment, and subconsciously grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

The old lady glanced at him, stood up silently, and walked upstairs alone.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Patting her eldest grandson on the back, the aunt complained, "It's unlucky that you provoked the old lady's anger, and also implicated me."

Gu Tingxi gave her a cold look, stood up and ran upstairs.

When he ran to the door of the room, he suddenly backed away and lingered at the door several times.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

When Gu Tingxi heard his grandmother calling him, he quickly opened the door and went in.

"grandmother."

The old lady was holding an old plush doll in her hand, and sighed faintly: "It's not good for you to like someone, you have to like him."

Gu Tingxi was in a daze for a moment, and then realized that the old lady probably knew about it early on.

He stood still, looking at the depressed back of the old lady with wet eyes.

"At that time, you were almost dead, and you had nightmares all night long. We hid all your mother's belongings, photos, jewelry, clothes, even her comb, just because I was afraid that you would see it again. Nightmares." The old lady choked up, "I thank him for saving your life, but he caused all of this, and you will repeat the same mistakes one day when you are with him."

Gu Tingxi walked up to her and squatted down slowly, "No, grandma, my nightmare has nothing to do with him. I've already figured out the car accident. Aunt Zhou wanted to save me, not harm me, and she had nothing to do with my mother." Relationship, I haven't had a nightmare for a long time."

"Tingting, things are not that simple, nor will they be so simple." The old lady looked at him with hatred, "I don't ask much, as long as you live well."

"If you're not happy, what are you doing alive? Grandma, I like him, I really like him."

"Nie Yuan!" The old lady sighed wearily, looking out of the white window and said slowly, "I still remember the first time I saw him, when you were only six years old that summer, your mother took you abroad On vacation, I lived at Han Chen's house for a month. Your mother said that you liked that boy very much, and you were with him every day and night. I don't know why you like him so much. On the day before you left, you cried so badly But he still refused to let go, and used his fingernails to scratch countless red marks on the child's arm."

"and after?"

"Later, Han Chen came back with you, and spent a day and a night on a plane to accompany you home. He was 16 years old at that time. He doesn’t even like to talk, he often stands in the yard and looks at the passers-by on the road for a whole day, and I later found out that he is studying.”

"Study?" Gu Tingxi asked suspiciously.

The old lady's tone was very slow, with an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes like a memory: "Yeah, study, your mother said that he had no contact with the outside world until he was 15 years old, and he couldn't communicate with others like normal people , but he observes other people's words and deeds, observes everything in nature, he has a very strong learning ability, and when I saw him later, he came back from abroad and turned into a special policeman in this city. A dull fool has turned into a mature man, from being unable to communicate with people to being able to accurately analyze the psychology of others, all this has changed too quickly, his learning ability is terrifying, Ting Ting, you believe in grandma, Han Chen is not suitable for you, he is definitely not an ordinary person willing to be ordinary, you will definitely experience some terrible things when you are with him, just like back then, we have paid a huge price."

Gu Tingxi lowered his head silently. He didn't agree with his grandmother's words, but he didn't want to make her angry again.

While the two were talking, they didn't know that Mr. Fang had been standing at the door for a long time. At this moment, he knocked on his crutches to interrupt their conversation, and said coldly, "Gu Tingxi, don't listen to your grandma. If you want to like it, open a bookstore if you want to, and do it if you want to be a detective.”

The old lady stood up abruptly, turned around and said, "I'm doing it for his own good."

"You are delaying him!" Fang Lao said with a gloomy face, "Our daughter is dead, but the children are still alive. Who can predict the fate of the future? Tingxi, listen, you will live for one day." Live happily for me, and don’t regret it if you die tomorrow!”

The old lady gasped and said, "Old man, what are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth! How can the descendants of my Fang family live in fear?! You can have no beliefs, no lofty ambitions, but you can't live a lifetime of frustration! Do you hear me?"

Gu Tingxi nodded nah: "I understand."

The old lady was so angry that she clenched her fists and pushed Mr. Fang out the door: "Go away, don't talk to me today."

Elder Fang glared at her, and really walked away with the help of a cane.

Gu Tingxi looked at the two dumbfounded, and asked, "Grandma, are you still angry with grandpa?"

"Don't be so hippie, I can't control you when you grow up, but you have to remember, always protect yourself, don't listen to your grandpa, it's just nonsense."

Gu Tingxi nodded obediently, but he was muttering in his heart, Fang Gu should have promised him with his body when he encountered a life-saving grace in the ancient times, it was reasonable and reasonable.

He thought about it but didn't dare to say it, for fear that his grandma would faint from anger.

For some reason, he wanted to see Han Chen so much today, and when her grandma calmed down a little, he told her to go home for a few days.

The old lady couldn't bear to restrain him, and since she had spoken, she didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I will go to the bookstore to buy books in a few days, and then you will accompany me to the nearby shopping mall."

Gu Tingxi froze for a moment, then nodded with a bitter face: "You are welcome to come and inspect."

The author has something to say: I’m here to slap my face. I originally said I wouldn’t write the main story, but it’s really uncomfortable if I don’t finish writing it. I’m not only slapping myself, but I’m also afraid that you will slap me. It may have been too mysterious before, but the main story is still It is relatively simple, so I plan to write the main line first, and then focus on writing only the case when opening a pit case.

There will still be some small cases interspersed in the main line, and there are still many places where the writing is not very good. I also hope that I can make progress slowly. Thank you for watching, okay? (*￣3)(ε￣*)
