"This is... Ah Wu?!"
After taking the phone and looking at it, Xu Xiang's originally dull eyes suddenly widened, even his arms were trembling slightly, and his mood was obviously extremely agitated.
"Where did you get this portrait?"
He asked with an excited expression, but full of vigilance.
"This is an elder in our village named Wei Shufen. She left the village due to some changes and her whereabouts are unknown. This is a portrait she left behind."
Chi Yao explained.
"Wei Shufen?"
Xu Xiang muttered the name while looking at the portrait carefully.
I found that the person in the painting was very similar to Ah Wu in my memory, in terms of face shape, hair color, and figure. The only difference was the eyes.
Ah Wu's eyes are empty most of the time, with no focus and no emotion, but the woman in the painting is different. Her eyes were extremely focused, and it seemed that her persistence and ambition could be seen directly from those clear black and white pupils.
The difference in their eyes also made a huge difference in their temperaments.
However, with such a level of similarity in appearance, it is highly unlikely that there is any relationship between them.
The thoughts in Xu Xiang's mind turned over and over again. He and Ah Wu had known each other for more than seventy years, and he knew very well that Ah Wu's biggest wish now was to find her family.
But unlike Ah Wu, whose memory is suspected to have been wiped out and who lacks understanding of the ghosts of the human heart and many common sense things, Xu Xiang is well aware of the risks of letting Ah Wu walk alone in this state. So after he gained some power, he immediately took her to his side and took care of her personally, protecting her from wind and rain.
Therefore, although he already believed Chi Yao to be able to produce the photos, for the sake of safety, he still asked tentatively: "What will you do if you find her or her descendants?"
"Oh, don't worry, we won't do anything."
Seeing Xu Xiang's careful look, Chi Yao laughed and said, "When that senior Wei left, he took away a very precious item in the village. My biggest purpose of coming out this time is to retrieve this item. As for What you are worried about is completely unnecessary. Times have changed, and what happened back then has long since passed, and no one will continue to pursue it."
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiang's heart dropped slightly, "That's good, Ah Wu should be doing a task near Nanbukai University now. If you are in a hurry, I can take you there immediately."
He was still worried about letting outsiders have direct contact with Ah Wu, so he decided to supervise it personally.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Chi Yao nodded slightly.
…
…
Nanbu University is one of the famous universities in Tianjin.
Feng Shayan drove a Hummer and turned into a community near the university under the guidance of Xu Xiang.
Park the car, go upstairs, open the door.
The aroma of braised beef noodles immediately hit your nostrils.
"Ah Wu, you ate instant noodles again,"
There was a hint of helplessness and doting in Xu Xiang's voice, "Didn't I tell you to go out and eat more nutritious meals? Instant noodles can only be used for emergencies. Eating too much is not good for the body. "
"Sui~Sui~It's okay, Gouwazi."
Along with the sound of whispering, a sentence in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect came out in the room, "It's all the same to me."
I don't know what Feng Shayan has to do with Feng Baobao, but just hearing her voice made a cross wrinkle on her forehead. But she finally remembered what she came for today, so although her lips moved, she didn't say a word.
The three of them entered the door, followed the sound of whispering, and found Feng Baobao, also known as Ah Wu in Xu Xiang's mouth, beside the bedroom window.
Ah Wu and Gou Wa Zi are Feng Baobao and Xu Xiang's... um, nicknames for each other.
She was wearing a brown employee jacket that was standard everywhere, and a baseball cap on her head. Her waist-length black hair was not taken care of in any way, and it was just scattered behind her, looking a little sloppy.
But these are just appearances. If you look closely, there is nothing that can be called stains on Feng Baobao's body, whether it is skin or hair. It is too clean.
Well... except for the soup that stains the corners of my mouth when I slurp instant noodles hard.
Moreover, she ate her instant noodles very attentively. Apart from saying hello to Xu Xiang, she didn't pay any attention to Feng Shayan and Chi Yao who came in together, as if she didn't see them.
"Damn it...it's this kind of disregard for others again."
Feng Shayan was a little bit crazy. This kind of situation where she regarded her as her enemy but others didn't care at all was indeed a bit embarrassing.
But Feng Baobao obviously didn't do it on purpose, because she really doesn't remember many things that are not important to her.
Forehead……
Putting it this way, it seems not only embarrassing, but even a little pitiful.
While she was eating instant noodles, Chi Yao casually looked around the room and found that except for a set of telescope equipment placed in the window, there was almost nothing of note here.
It was just a bucket of instant noodles, and Feng Baobao ate it quickly.
But after she finished eating, she had no intention of talking to Chi Yao and the others. Instead, she put the empty bucket of soup at her feet, leaned back on the telescope, and started working with concentration.
"Hey! There must be a limit to ignoring others!"
Feng Shayan finally couldn't help but speak.
"Ahem, Ah Wu, stop for a moment."
Xu Xiang smiled apologetically, took two steps forward, patted Feng Baobao on the shoulder, and whispered, "There is no need to monitor Zhang Chulan today. The two people I brought may also know your life experience."
"really?"
Feng Baobao turned around, his eyes passed over Xu Xiang's face, past Feng Shayan in the middle, and finally fell on Chi Yao, "Do you recognize me?"
"uncertain,"
Looking into his big witty eyes, Chi Yao smiled slightly, "But you can see if you have any impression of this thing first."
He handed over the mobile phone with Wei Shufen's portrait on it.
"Hmm...I don't recognize it!"
Feng Baobao looked at the portrait and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"The name of the person in the portrait is Wei Shufen. She was once the most powerful young Gu Master in Qinghe Village. More than seventy years ago, specifically in 1944, due to some changes, she jumped from the cliff near Qinghe Village. He passed away and has not been heard from since..."
Chi Yao casually said a few words about Wei Shufen's life.
"Wait a minute, which year did you say she jumped off the cliff?"
Xu Xiang suddenly interrupted Chi Yao's narration and asked eagerly.
"Four or four years ago, it was the year before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."
"Is this... such a coincidence?"
Xu Xiang was stunned because it was also that year when he first met Ah Wu.
And according to his parents, when they first met Ah Wu that year, she was dressed gorgeously and was obviously not an ordinary person. In addition, she couldn't remember anything, so they temporarily named her Ah Wu.
This seems to be completely consistent with Wei Shufen's experience.
Could it be...
"What coincidence?"
Feng Shayan's question interrupted Xu Xiang's train of thought.
"Ahem, it's nothing..."
Xu Xiang's eyes flashed and he ignored the topic.
From the beginning of 1944 to the present, Feng Baobao has not changed at all for seventy years. Xu Xiang will not tell anyone easily. Because even for strangers, the temptation of immortality is too great.
