Zhong Lingyu looked at the time.
Normally, Uncle Huo should be up by this time.
During the time when Uncle Huo was here, as long as she got up every day, she could see Uncle Huo sweeping the courtyard.
Could it be that...Uncle Huo is sick?
Zhong Lingyu put down the newspaper and went to the small courtyard where Uncle Huo lived.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, Zhong Lingyu saw a crumpled box placed in an inconspicuous corner of the yard.
She always thought he looked familiar.
Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the cake Kong Bin gave her yesterday?
She was thinking at that time that Uncle Huo was looking for his wife and had not been back to Shaocheng for a long time, so she just happened to give the pastry to Uncle Huo so that he could enjoy the meal.
But Uncle Huo not only didn't eat it, he also threw away the cake.
Zhong Lingyu saw a pile of shredded residue in the box.
If you don't like to eat it, just throw it away.
But it was broken into pieces like this, and it was obvious that it had been dropped or run over.
Uncle Huo...why did he throw away the cakes Kong Bin gave him and break them into pieces?
Zhong Lingyu's mind was confused again.
She couldn't figure out Uncle Huo's intention of doing this.
However, if it was as she thought before, that Uncle Huo was pretended by Shen Huaizhou, then the matter of crushing pastries would be very logical: Shen Huaizhou didn't like men approaching her. So not only did he throw away the cakes Kong Bin gave him, but he also... attacked Kong Bin.
Zhong Lingyu couldn't calm down.
But that night, she was misunderstood and peeked at Uncle Huo while he was taking a shower, and she clearly saw Uncle Huo's upper body.
That is definitely not Shen Huaizhou's body.
However, if we take a bolder guess, maybe, with Shen Huaizhou's ability, he can not only change his appearance, but also his body shape?
After thinking for a moment, she knocked on Uncle Huo's door.
After a while, Uncle Huo opened the door from the inside with sleepy eyes.
He paused, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't understand why Zhong Lingyu came and knocked on his door so early in the morning.
Zhong Lingyu smiled stiffly, "Good morning, Uncle Huo. I came here to tell you that something happened to Mr. Kong. Shaocheng is very uneasy now. You should try not to go out these days."
Uncle Huo nodded.
At this time, Zhong Lingyu suddenly saw an inconspicuous blood stain on Uncle Huo's gray clothes.
Her heart skipped a beat and she stared at the blood stain.
Throwing cakes, Kong Bin's accident, blood stains on Uncle Huo's clothes...
Uncle Huo followed her gaze and looked down.
He explained on the paper: [Little Miss, don’t worry, my legs and feet are not flexible. I fell down in the morning and accidentally scratched my arm. 】
"That's it." Zhong Lingyu said absently, "Uncle Huo, be careful then. I'm going back to my room first."
Uncle Huo nodded.
Zhong Lingyu ran away in a hurry.
After returning to her yard, she dared to take a deep breath.
Uncle Huo...is he really Shen Huaizhou?
He traveled from Yuncheng to Shaocheng to see her.
Zhong Lingyu is still a little unsure.
After thinking about it, she called Mother Wang.
"Wang Ma, I heard you say before that Uncle Huo is your relative and my grandfather's savior." Zhong Lingyu asked while drinking tea.
Wang Ma nodded, "Yes."
"Who is Uncle Huo your relative?" Zhong Lingyu pretended to be curious.
Wang Ma explained with a smile, "Our Wang family and Huo family were related a few years ago, but they don't move around much now, so they are considered distant relatives. But Uncle Huo saved the master in his early years, and then he started to associate with our Wang family. "
Zhong Lingyu said: "That's it."
"Little miss, why do you suddenly ask about this?" Wang Ma asked tentatively.
Zhong Lingyu's heart skipped a beat.
She quickly thought of an explanation, "Last night, I dreamed about my grandfather. This morning, I was actually thinking that Uncle Huo was able to save my grandfather, and it was probably because of you, Mother Wang. After all, the Wang family and the Huo family are related. I was wondering what I could do to thank you."
Wang Ma quickly waved her hand, "This is all due to Uncle Huo, you have failed me."
Wang Ma answered all the questions flawlessly.
Zhong Lingyu didn't ask anything.
She sent some fresh fruits and sent Wang Ma away.
Two days later, the thief who broke into Kong's house and made Kong Bin crazy was still not caught.
Unable to delay the business, Zhong Lingyu took Uncle Huo to the street uneasily and took care of the wine shop together.
When Uncle Huo is busy, Zhong Lingyu can always overlap his figure with that of Shen Huaizhou.
In fact, if you look carefully, aside from Uncle Huo's hunchback, he is about the same height as Shen Huaizhou.
Zhong Lingyu began to be stunned again.
It wasn't until Uncle Huo knocked on the table to remind her that Zhong Lingyu came back to her senses.
Uncle Huo: [Little miss, why are you absent-minded? 】
Zhong Lingyu said slowly: "Oh, I feel that the thief who broke into Kong's house has not been caught yet, which is quite disturbing. What if the thief comes to my liquor store to extort money and rob me?"
Uncle Huo: [Don’t worry, I will protect you. 】
"Thank you, Uncle Huo." Zhong Lingyu lowered his eyebrows.
Uncle Huo stayed busy with her all day.
The two of them walked down the street together, the breeze blowing and it was a little chilly.
Uncle Huo put his coat on Zhong Lingyu.
Zhong Lingyu felt heavy.
She thanked Uncle Huo.
Uncle Huo smiled gently.
Zhong Lingyu was even more worried.
At night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I have been thinking about Uncle Huo’s identity.
She didn't slowly fall asleep until she couldn't help but feel exhausted.
The next day, Zhong Lingyu received Uncle Huo's letter again.
The letter said that he had found traces of his wife and was leaving Shaocheng again.
Zhong Lingyu wrinkled the paper, bit her lip and thought.
Uncle Huo always returns to Shaocheng only once every one month, and then stays for two or three days before leaving.
This is so suspicious.
If you want to find out Uncle Huo's identity, it seems you have to use some means.
Zhong Lingyu thought of a good idea.
*
time flies.
Another month passed.
The business of Zhong Lingyu Liquor Shop has stabilized due to good management.
The monthly income is not much, but it is still profitable.
During this period, Zhong Lingyu saw a shocking news in the newspaper: Shen Huaizhou, the eldest son of Shen, was officially engaged to Jin Ya, the only daughter of the Jin family.
There is also a photo on top.
In the photo, Shen Huaizhou is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and Wen Qingyu is wearing jewels.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman are like a match made in heaven.
Zhong Lingyu didn't care.
She just wanted to find out whether Uncle Huo was Shen Huaizhou.
In mid-December, Uncle Huo came back.
More than a month had passed since the day he left Shaocheng.
Uncle Huo stood in front of Zhong Lingyu and wrote on the paper: [Little miss, I haven't been able to find my wife yet. 】
Zhong Lingyu comforted, "Uncle Huo, don't be discouraged. When there is news about your wife for the third time, I will help you find her. Maybe you can find her?"
[Thank you, little lady. 】
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Huo, I want to introduce someone to you." Zhong Lingyu lowered his eyes and smiled, his cheeks red.
Uncle Huo was puzzled.
Zhong Lingyu said: "During your absence, I met a man. Although his family background is not high, he is a very nice person. I just want to say that I am not young and should talk about marriage. Everyone said Men know men best, why don't you, Uncle Huo, help me check and see how he is doing?"
Shen Huaizhou pretending to be Uncle Huo:? !
