"Hello? Brother Huo, have you found it?" I put the phone to my ear and asked quickly. Huo Jiujian also responded as soon as I finished speaking: "It's found. Wait a minute, I'll look for it.

, there are too many files.”

I said "oh" and began to calm down the excitement in my heart, waiting quietly. Huo Jiujian was still so interesting. As long as I asked him to do something, although he would nag him in advance, but after the busy work,

We will still handle it very quickly.

After waiting for nearly two minutes, there was a constant buzzing and noisy sound on the other end of the phone. I shouted twice into the phone, but no one responded.

A few minutes later, I was standing in the snow, almost buried by snowflakes. Only then did Huo Jiujian's voice from the other side sound: "Hello? Are you still here?"

I reacted, opened my mouth that was already frozen, and then put the phone to my ear. Because the body of the phone was too cold, I didn't dare to put it too close to my ear, so I had to press the hands-free button.

.

There weren't many people on the street where I was standing, so I wasn't afraid of disturbing others.

"I'm here, have you found Xiaomei?" I buried half of my face in the scarf, and my voice passed through the lattice gaps of the scarf and entered the phone.

"Well, I found it." Huo Jiujian didn't say anything nonsense to me. He just paused and continued: "Xiaomei's real name is: Liu Jiamei. According to her birth date, this year has already

46."

"Well, what next? Where is she? I'll go find her." I said hurriedly.

When Huo Jiujian heard what I said, he actually chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Little guy, don't worry, what I want to say is still behind.

That Liu Jiamei actually died 20 years ago. Even if I tell you the location of her cemetery, all you can find there is just a stone tablet or ashes."

I listened to his words quietly. When Huo Jiujian said the last word, several thunder and lightning flashed in my mind like a bolt from the blue.

What? This idea came to me when my uncle said that he could not find Xiaomei for many years, but I still took a chance.

"I'll send you a MMS with the information I found. You can accept it." Huo Jiu saw that I was silent, so he said lightly.

"Okay, please, Brother Huo, I'll treat you to dinner next time." I laughed dryly and said politely to Huo Jiujian.

After Huo Jiujian agreed, he hung up the phone.

About a minute later, a message alert sounded for a MMS message. I opened the MMS message and received it.

I walked to the nearest print shop near the market and printed out the photos sent through the MMS.

Looking at the photo in my hand, I silently put it into my pocket.

"Dad, I'm going out for a while and I'll be back in the evening. My friends are inviting me to dinner." I walked to the stall and shouted to my dad who was seriously changing the water for the fresh seafood in the stall.

Dad squatted in front of the fish basket. When he heard me shouting, he stopped what he was doing, turned his head in displeasure, and shouted at me: "You kid! You say that every time, I see you

I just want to go out and play!”

"Hey dad, if you understand clearly, don't say it." I responded with a playful smile.

"Your mother will be here soon to deliver food! Don't run around!"

"I won't eat anymore and will go to a friend's house to eat."

After hearing this, my father stood up and acted as if he was going to come out and beat me. I quickly stuck out my tongue and ran away.

I hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went to the place where my uncle lived. It was still an old house with the word "demolished" printed on it, and it was still the same big tree with green leaves all year round regardless of the season.

I stood at the door of my uncle's yard for a long time, then gritted my teeth and walked in.

In the yard, the uncle was squatting under a tree, holding a plastic pipe connected to the water pipe, and watering the uncle.

It's strange to say that on this cold day, the land around the big tree didn't have any trace of freezing.

"Uncle..." I calmed myself down a bit and yelled at the uncle.

The uncle turned around and looked at me, showing a happy expression. He walked over quickly and stretched out his arm towards me.

The uncle put his hands on my shoulders and laughed: "I thought you were kidding me? How come it only took two days to find out?"

The uncle seemed to believe me and spoke to me very familiarly.

The corners of my mouth twitched and I smiled awkwardly. The uncle looked at me with hopeful eyes, and I had to swallow my saliva.

Just as I was about to speak, the uncle suddenly waved his hand and interrupted what I wanted to say.

He invited me to sit inside the house, but it was too cold outside. I had no choice but to face him and walked into the house with him.

Sitting inside Nuan Nuanhe's house, I took out the photo in my pocket and handed it to the uncle.

This photo was none other than Xiaomei's death photo. The uncle was stunned when he looked at the photo and could not recover for a long time.

"This is not true!" It took the uncle a long time to come to his senses. He squeezed the photo tightly and grabbed my shoulder at the same time. He said in horror: "No, this is not true! You must have taken

He created a composite photo to deceive me. You young people today just like to mess with this kind of thing on the Internet!"

The uncle's words were a little hurried, and his breathing became even more disordered. I looked at him, and I was suddenly afraid that he would be like last time, deliberately struggling and falling down.

But to my surprise, the uncle was only shocked for a moment, and then calmed down.

I helped the uncle sit on the edge of the bed. The uncle kept his head lowered, but he had a look of relief on his face.

It's like looking away from certain things.

"Uncle?" I stood in front of him, not daring to sit down. I could only call softly.

"Yeah." The uncle muttered, "Forget it, after so many years, I have already looked away from it."

I stared at the uncle, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, a white shadow flashed outside the transparent window glass.

Finally, after the two of us stood like this for a long time, I sighed.

He slowly said: "I know where Xiaomei is buried. Uncle, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Would you like to take a look?" The uncle looked up at me and repeated what I said.

"Yes, go take a look. Don't you miss her very much?" I continued, saying that my uncle has kept Xiaomei's photos for so many years and is still a bachelor in order to get married.

It can be seen that the uncle is devoted to Xiaomei.

In fact, when Huo Jiujian was helping me investigate Xiaomei, he also searched for my uncle's information.
