As I said earlier, Guoguo has a longevity lock, cast in pure gold, with the word "Guo" engraved on it. Guoguo has been wearing it as a talisman since she was a child, but during the summer vacation of that year, the longevity lock The lock was gone.
After searching all the places but finding nothing, Guoguo was in a panic, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of despair and bewilderment.
He took Qin Mu's hand and murmured over and over again: "Little brother, what should I do, I will never find my parents again." Repeating this sentence over and over again, Guoguo began to fall into endless self-blame and regret among.
Qin Mu knew the importance of that lock to Guoguo.
It can be said that in the future, if you take Guoguo to find your parents, the longevity lock is the only breakthrough, and you can't lose it.
Perhaps because there is no hope at all, Guoguo stares blankly at a certain place in nothingness, the once clean and bright eyes are coated with a layer of gray mist, and no longer can shine any light. Worried about Guoguo's collapse, Qin Mu felt sorry for him, and began to actively look for any possible clues.
"Think about it again, have you looked for everything at home?"
"Could it be accidentally dropped somewhere? Think about where you went today."
"Are you sure you haven't unlocked the longevity lock?"
Regarding Qin Mu's question, Guoguo just shook his head, his eyes were empty: "I definitely can't find it."
Qin Mu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "I remember the three of us went fishing during the day, and you told me that your longevity lock is too long and you always bump into the fishing rod, and the noise is easy to catch the fish. I ran away in fright, and then I didn’t hear any sound, did you put away the longevity lock?”
Hearing this, Guoguo's eyes flashed with hope again, "I remembered, at that time I wanted to put the longevity lock in my pocket, but the pocket on my clothes was shallow, so I was afraid it would leak out, so I let it Xie Ge pretended for me."
Xie Ge
Qin Mu was taken aback.
He happened to be in a hurry to urinate at that time, so he found a place for convenience. When he came back, Xie Ge had already left. Guoguo told him that Xie Ge was called back by his mother. If this is the case, Guoguo's longevity lock should be At Shego.
"Go, let's go find Xie Ge now."
Qin Mu stood up, patted the dust on his pants, turned around and extended his hand towards Guoguo.
"Um."
Guoguo nodded, and held Qin Mu's hand.
…
Xie Ge's mother's name is Xie Fenglan, and she opened a small hair salon. Because of her bad reputation, she doesn't have much business during the day. Xie Ge usually lives in a small room in the hair salon. The high-pitched panting of men and women could be heard from next door.
Since Xie Fenglan had to "work" at night, she spent most of her daytime sleeping. Xie Fenglan would actually take him back in person today. To be honest, Xie Ge was a little surprised.
When he got home, Xie Ge found that the walls of the house had been scratched by sharp objects, the floor was covered with broken glass, and the only few wooden tables and chairs had been beaten back to their original shape, lying in the corner staggeringly. He was silent for a moment, then turned around, and Xie Fenglan in front of him was caressing her hair indifferently, and the red high heels under her feet were so red that it dazzled the eyes.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that an old friend of mine wants to dump his yellow-faced woman and run away with me."
Xie Ge: "And then?"
"Then his yellow-faced woman found out, and asked someone to come over and smash it."
Xie Ge knew Xie Fenglan well, if things were really as simple as she said, she would not have called him back in person. Although he and Xie Fenglan are mother and son, the relationship between them is only a little better than that of strangers. Since he was sensible, his father who was locked in and Xie Fenglan had often quarreled. Hook up with other men.
When his father was arrested for robbery, Xie Fenglan's concubine got tired of playing with her and she dumped her. After spending money on her body, Xie Fenglan, who had no money, started a flesh and blood business.
Although there is no deep love between mother and child with Xie Fenglan, there is still a bond of blood between them after all, Xie Ge was silent, "What happened?"
"...the gossiping women in the village said that I seduced their husbands, and reported me to the village chief collectively, and wanted to drive me out of Anping Village." Speaking of this, Xie Fenglan's brows flashed obvious ridicule and disdain: " Heh, I don't have the ability to control my husband, so it's none of my business."
"If I were them, I would either find a rope and hang myself to death, or use a rope to strangle those cheap men to death. It's really boring to hang on to such a man for the rest of my life. It's better to die."
"Those old women just wanted someone to beat me up. Hmph, I've slept with all those men and women who came here. If they dare to beat me up, I'm not afraid that I'll reveal all those nasty things..."
"Okay." Xie Ge didn't want to listen to Xie Fenglan's endless chatter, so he just asked, "Then we must move out?"
Xie Fenglan sneered: "What is there to miss about this kind of place?"
"... then where do we move?"
"Let's move away first, anyway, my old lady won't starve you to death." She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the young man, "Why, are you reluctant to leave here?"
Xie Ge fell silent in a rare way.
There is really nothing good about Anping Village. It is located in a remote mountainous area with underdeveloped transportation. Of course the village chief wants to limit the flow of people, but how could the younger generation who have seen the colorful world outside choose to stay here for the rest of their lives.
It's just that no matter how good the outside world is, it's meaningless without Qin Mu.
Xie Ge originally wanted to wait for Qin Mu to go out to study, so he would go out to work so that he could see the world, but now this happened suddenly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Xie Fenglan on the side was still urging him: "Those old women threatened me, saying that they only gave me three days, if I don't leave, they will set fire to this place..."
Tired of being read, Xie Ge said impatiently: "I see, let me think about it."
"What's on your mind?"
Xie Fenglan rolled his eyes at him, and was about to continue persuading, when Qin Mu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Xie Ge, Xie Ge."
"Yo, your good brother is here to look for you." Xie Fenglan leaned against the door frame, knocking on melon seeds leisurely, "You just took this opportunity to say goodbye to him."
Xie Ge didn't speak, and pushed her away to go outside.
Opened the door, Qin Mu and Su Jiayu were standing at the door, Xie Ge stepped out and closed the door, "Why are you here?"
Qin Mu: "When I was fishing just now, Guoguo locked his long life with you. Let's come and get it from you."
"Longevity Lock?" Turning his gaze to Su Jiayu next to Qin Mu, Xie Ge raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I return it to you?"
When Su Jiayu heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes: "When did you give it back to me? Why don't I remember."
Xie Ge was worried about moving at this time, and his tone was a little offended: "What do you mean, I will still take your things?"
"Don't quarrel, have something to say."
Qin Mu didn't know who to trust. Guoguo had always been a good boy in the eyes of his parents and teachers. He was smart, well-behaved, honest and kind. Everyone in Anping Village liked him very much. Afterwards, Xie Ge got rid of those petty theft habits.
He thought for a while, then turned his head to confirm with Su Jiayu: "Think about it again, did Xie Ge return the longevity lock to you?"
"No." Su Jiayu's eyes were black and white, and he said firmly.
"You fucking fart." Xie Ge swears loudly, staring at him sullenly, suppressing the deep anger in his dark eyes: "Don't blame me for losing something yourself."
"I don't." Su Jiayu is not as afraid of Xie Ge as he was when he was a child. After so many years of getting along, he also knows Xie Ge. Xie Ge is fierce and aggressive, but when he meets Qin Mu, no matter how angry he is. Can't send it out.
"Fuck you, I've already seen that you're not a good guy."
Xie Ge rolled up his sleeves, and as soon as he took a step forward, Qin Mu stood in front of Su Jiayu, "We're all brothers, don't do anything."
"Who is his brother?" Xie Ge spat on the ground, staring at Qin Mu with his dark pupils like black holes, and slowed down his speech as if swearing: "If I take his Longevity lock, then I will have a terrible death!"
Hearing him utter such a serious oath, the balance in Qin Mu's heart was wobbly, and he still didn't know which side to lean towards.
Guoguo has never told a lie, and he has no reason to lie, but looking at Xie Ge's appearance, it doesn't look like he is lying. Guoguo said that he gave the longevity lock to Xie Ge, and Xie Ge said that he gave it back to Guoguo. One of them must be wrong. Could it be that there is some misunderstanding
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at Xie Ge: "When did you return the longevity lock to Guoguo?"
Xie Ge frowned, "My mother told me to come back, and I put the things in his pocket before I left."
"Auntie, did she see it?"
"No."
But the things were indeed missing, and Guoguo also said that Xie Ge didn't return the longevity lock to him. Qin Mu didn't want to doubt Xie Ge, but if he had to choose between Guoguo and Xie Ge, he still chose to believe in Guoguo. Guo, after all, the longevity lock is the most important thing for Guoguo, it is impossible for Guoguo to joke about it.
So Qin Mu hesitated for a few seconds, and slowly said to Xie Ge: "If you look for it again, things can't disappear without a reason."
Staring at Qin Mu almost in disbelief, Xie Ge blinked very slowly, and when he opened his eyes again, the color in his eyes became darker, staring at Qin Mu with an extremely strange gaze, and then Under such staring eyes, the reader dared not look at each other, and was about to move his eyes away, but he heard Xie Ge's gloomy and cold voice: "You don't believe me?"
Qin Mu opened his mouth: "I... no."
"You just don't believe me!" Xie Ge twitched the corners of his mouth, and a smile spread across his face, revealing a cold and cruel aura in the twilight.
Before there is any real evidence, Qin Mu knows that he should not doubt Xie Ge, but Guoguo's longevity lock is the key for him to find his biological parents, and he just wants to help Guoguo find his only hope.
"Xie Ge, I... It's not that I don't believe you."
"Enough." Xie Ge snorted, turned his back to Qin Mu, his straight back was still proud in the dim light, but the words he said revealed a trace of disappointment and loneliness, "I Thought you were different from others."
