Chapter 2 The Qi Brothers
Chapter 2 The Qi Brothers
After picking up his ticket at the station counter, Lin Que stared at the address on the ticket in his hand, a series of question marks popping into his head: ???
Wait, Anshi?
Although Lin Que hadn't read many books or learned much about history, he still knew that there were no ancient noble families or gentlemen's tombs in this place, right?
I don't know what my second uncle is up to. Oh well, I'll just go over there first.
Fortunately, Lin Que didn't have much luggage, only two sets of clothes to change into. It seemed that his second uncle and the brothers he mentioned would take care of the tools. He got on the bus with just a bag on his back.
The journey takes about 5 hours, but I got up early today, so I can have a nice nap on the bus.
Soon the bus was full, and with a loud rumble, it started moving. There were no clichéd events along the way.
For example, if he encounters robbers on the road and is robbed, there's a beautiful woman with a graceful figure sitting next to him, waiting for Lin Que to come and rescue her.
Come to think of it, how could anyone in this safe society still resort to highway robbery? They'd have to be out of their mind.
Besides, the buses on this route travel on the highway.
......
"Passengers, the vehicle has arrived at its destination. Please disembark in an orderly manner."
Five hours later, with the driver's shouts, we finally arrived at the bus station in Anshi.
Lin Que rubbed his eyes, stretched, picked up his backpack, and got off the bus. He had just reached the exit of the bus station when he saw his second uncle waving at him from afar.
"My dear nephew! Over here! Over here! Come here quickly!"
Lin Que approached and asked, "Tell me, Dezi, where did you get this job? Don't tell me you found it yourself, I definitely won't believe you."
"Hehe! That can't be, I don't know how to do these things, my brother taught me."
"And also, you have to call me Second Uncle!" Zhang Mengde shouted in a protesting manner.
The name of my second uncle is also funny. My maternal grandparents named him "Zhang Mengde". The older generation likes to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and thinks that Cao Mengde is a good name, so they named my second uncle this name.
Good guy!
Unexpectedly, the prophecy has come true, and he has become a tomb raider in this era.
It's unclear whether this Mengde is the same Mengde as before. Lin Que guesses that his second uncle probably only knows how to recite the phrase "Searching for the dragon and dividing the gold, look at the winding mountain" from time to time.
However, one thing must be mentioned: although my second uncle is also named Mengde, he is quite good-looking. He has three-dimensional features, a distinct face shape, and a somewhat roguish and handsome appearance with his long, choppy hair.
Lin Que was only slightly inferior to his second uncle. He wore a white T-shirt and faded light blue denim jeans, which made him look quite handsome.
The main reason is that Lin Que's skin is much fairer than his second uncle's. When they were in school, many girls in the class were jealous of Lin Que's skin, which was the kind that never got tanned no matter how much sun he got. His second uncle, on the other hand, had a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
To be fair, their good looks are actually comparable to those of you readers!
Lin Que shrugged and said, "Come on, Dezi sounds much better. Anyway, we're about the same age."
"You take advantage of my seniority every day, and I haven't even bothered to hold you accountable for the things you've done to me."
"Should I go and report to my grandparents?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mengde put his arm around Lin Que's shoulder and said, "Hey...hehe! If you don't want to call me, then don't. Come on, give me your bag, I'll take you to eat first and introduce you to my brothers."
Zhang Mengde took Lin Que's backpack, hailed a taxi, and the two got into the car and set off.
The two chatted idly along the way. Soon the taxi stopped in front of a restaurant. After paying the fare, they got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Lin Que looked at the restaurant in front of him with some surprise and said, "Wow! Not bad, such a grand restaurant, you must have spent a lot of money on it?"
The restaurant in front of them was located on the first floor of a towering office building. It had a rather grand name, "State Banquet Restaurant," which suggested it was one of the top restaurants in Anshi. A meal there would probably not be cheap.
Zhang Mengde said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? It's not like I'm treating; it's two brothers I know who are treating."
"Let's go in."
The two walked into the restaurant side by side and saw two people waving at their second uncle from a table not far from the entrance. Lin Que naturally followed his second uncle over.
Second Uncle stepped forward and greeted them: "Brother Qi, Second Brother Qi, it's great to see you again!"
Then he warmly pulled Lin Que over and introduced him, saying, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Lin Que."
"These two are Brother Qi and Brother Qi the Second."
"Brother Qi, Second Brother Qi, just call me Xiao Lin."
Lin Que then stepped forward and introduced himself, taking the opportunity to sized up the two brothers his second uncle had mentioned.
Brother Qi had dark skin and looked to be in his early thirties. He had a rugged appearance but a kind smile.
Qi Erge seems to be the kind of honest and simple person. It feels like both brothers are people who travel around all year round, but they just give people a simple and honest impression.
Brother Qi said with a smile, "Oh, sit down, sit down. Since he is Mengde's nephew, he is also a good friend of our brothers!"
"Yes, yes, they are all our good friends!" Brother Qi echoed.
After Lin Que sat down, he saw his second uncle ordering food from the waiter and also chatted with the two Qi brothers.
"Brother Qi, Second Brother, how did you meet my Second Uncle? I'm really curious. It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship."
Brother Qi sighed with emotion, "Speaking of Brother Mengde, he is truly our kindred spirit! From childhood to adulthood, there has never been anyone we brothers admire so much!"
Qi Erge also chimed in, "That's right. Brother Mengde is definitely not someone that can be compared to ordinary people. He is not only knowledgeable but also has a wide range of experience. I admire him to the point of prostration."
Hearing this, Lin Que became even more curious, his head full of question marks. How could he not know what his second uncle was like?
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Brother Lin Que, you don't know, we met Brother Mengde in a massage parlor."
Lin Que immediately felt like he'd been screwed over; he knew it would be like this...
"Yes, yes, you're right, brother. We were still worried about which technician to choose when a brother with a beaming smile came out of there."
"He noticed our worried expressions and curiously came over to ask us what was wrong, whether we didn't know how to choose."
"You know, we've grown up and suddenly earned our first pot of gold. We were curious and wanted to have some fun. It was our first time in a place like this, and we didn't know anything about it. His question stunned us."
"He analyzed it to us with a serious expression, saying that technician number 28 was obviously not good enough, she was too old."
"Number 19 is good, but she is too thin and has little strength, so her massage technique is definitely not good."
"Number 32 is perfect. She has a well-proportioned figure, neither too fat nor too thin, and her smile gives people a feeling of spring. She also looks quite strong. It must feel very comfortable to massage her!"
"Moreover, chatting during the process can easily help you relax, making it a very enjoyable experience..."
"We were shocked!!"
"How can it still be like this?"
"Afterwards, he gave us a lot of analysis, explaining things very logically, which we greatly admired. It was later proven that his analysis was correct!"
“This person is your second uncle. You can tell he’s a regular here. After that, we exchanged contact information and often asked him to take us to see the world.”
"Yes, yes, yes! We're just going to broaden our horizons."
After hearing this, Lin Que's forehead was covered in black lines. He knew it was no good news. Sure enough, his second uncle was still the same old second uncle. What's more, he even raised an eyebrow at Lin Que with a smug look on his face.
"Oh dear! Brother Qi, what are you saying? You flatter me! This is called discussion, yes, we are discussing and learning from each other."
......
After a satisfying meal, the four of them left the restaurant together, planning to check into a hotel for the night and discuss their departure the next day.
As Lin Que walked along the road, he seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Qi, Second Brother Qi, I still don't know your full names. Could you tell me?"
Brother Qi said, "Hey~! What's the big deal? We actually forgot to introduce ourselves. It's our fault. Let me tell you our names."
My name is Qi Delong.
My name is Qi Dongqiang.
Lin Que was stunned for a moment upon hearing the two names.
He suddenly turned his head.
He looked at Zhang Mengde with a serious expression.
"Dezi, is it too late for me to back out now?"
