"Really? Really?" Wan'er was overjoyed. Her eyes widened immediately, and she leaned forward, asking anxiously, "Where is he? Who is he?"
"Where is he?" The uncle gasped, his eyes filled with confusion. He raised his pipe, tapped his head, and looked somewhat dejected. "Have I heard of this person somewhere before?"
"Old man, would you like to have some wine to warm yourself up?" Auntie came over, looked at the remaining cured meat in the pot, and turned to ask Uncle.
“Wine! That’s right, it was two years ago, at my son’s wedding, I met an old man at the banquet…” Uncle’s eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table. “Old woman, bring me some wine, I really want to have a sip right now.”
Upon hearing this, Auntie turned and glanced at Mercury, then quickly ran a few steps, retrieved two small wine glasses from the cupboard, poured two glasses of wine, and Uncle handed one of them to Mercury…
As the aroma of wine filled my mouth, memories surfaced clearly.
At that time, my uncle was a little tired, so he sat down on a chair next to the hotel's dining table.
By this time, most of the guests at the table had already left.
"Haha, you must be our in-laws?" A bald old man walked over and grabbed the uncle's arm.
"You are..." The face was somewhat unfamiliar, and the uncle couldn't remember which relative of his daughter-in-law the other person was.
"Yes, I am! I am your daughter-in-law's cousin. I met you at the engagement banquet last time. You have a good capacity for alcohol, and I was very impressed by your eloquent talk about how you know about alcohol. How about I have a drink with you today?"
Without saying a word, the person moved and sat down in the seat next to them.
“Oh, my dear in-law, but I…” Uncle wanted to postpone it because he had things to do.
"No, let the young people do these things. You need to rest too." The other person grabbed him, had already poured wine, and handed it to his uncle. Then, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Let's get to know each other today. Maybe we'll have to do business together in the future."
This old man is really interesting; he speaks strangely too. Despite being faced with a table full of leftovers, and unable to refuse his hospitality, the uncle had no choice but to pick up his wine cup.
"Glug!" After a few sips of wine, the other person seemed a little drunk and started talking nonsense. It might be inappropriate to drink any more.
Today is his son's wedding, and there are some things that need to be taken care of, so the uncle decided to find an excuse to leave.
"My dear in-law, I must take my leave now." He was about to get up.
"I have something to say to you." The other person reached out a hand, grabbed his clothes, tilted his head, and looked at his uncle with glazed, drunken eyes. "I think you're a master. Have you ever heard of creating illusions or moving illusions?"
"you……"
"Shh!" The bald old man put a finger to his lips, looked around, dipped one finger into his wine glass, and started drawing numbers on the table as he drew. "We hit it off, so I'm just asking. You can take a look too. Alright, I've had enough to drink, I should go now. You can go do your thing."
After the old man finished speaking, he withdrew his fingers, stood up, and walked towards the door without looking back...
"Illusion Mirror?" Watching his retreating figure, the uncle strode up to his daughter-in-law and asked absentmindedly, "Do you have a cousin?"
"Yes, she is, but she didn't come today. Dad, why are you asking this?" The daughter-in-law was puzzled by the question.
"No, I was just asking." The uncle shook his head, even thinking to himself that perhaps he was just a con artist trying to scare people.
