I nodded. “This is between him and me anyway. Plus, there’s the history
between him and my parents. Little Uncle, I don’t want to force you to take
sides. You can turn a blind eye. AlthoughI don’t have any memories, I don’t
want to be your enemy. I think you were good to e before.”
I said this sincerely. I did everytlhing based on my internal feelings. I voiced
them directly. Based on the people’s reactions, I was able to confirm my past
relationship with them.
My little uncle gently shook my hand. He was a little excited, and there were
tears in his eyes. “Nanxing, don’t say that. If Big Brother did something evil, I
won’t just stand by and watch. If he really did harm my sister and
brother-in-law, I won’t let him off either.”
l looked at him and felt pity for him. To him, it must be painful to have to make
a choice like this.
“What happened to second uncle? I should still have two cousins.” I returned to
the topic that had gone astray.
My little uncle changed his position and sat properly. “When I rushed back, the
old residence was already razed to the ground by the bomb. The surviving
servants said that second brother and Tong Mo were still inside.” He paused,
and he lowered his eyes. “Tong Mo was only twelve years old. He was an extremely smart child. However, his mother passed away early. Second Brother
cared too much about sister-in-law and didn’t pay Tong Mu much attention.
Therefore, Tong Mo was a quiet child. He was not as eloquent and likable as
Tong Zhuo.
Tong Zhuo was also very smart. However, he had always been two-faced, even
when he was young. I am not a few years older than him, and I suffered a lot
because of him when I was young. Therefore, I had always hated him.
“The servants brought me eldest brother and Tong Zhuo’s effects.
“The Tong Family was exterminated by an enemy. Big Brother’s whole family
was killed. They didn’t even have a body left. Second Brother and his son were
also killed by an explosion. You were my only family remaining, but you were
far away.
“Second Brother arranged your parent’s funeral. He followed your parent’s
dying wish and moved you back to China. Now that I think about it, this should
be Second Brother’s way of protecting you from Big Brother. It was why Eldest
Brother hated him so much.”
My little uncle lowered his voice.
I already understood what he meant.
My parents, my second uncle, and his son were all killed by my first uncle.
The one who was cold and protective of me in my dream was Cousin Mo, and the one who tricked me into drawing the maps was my first uncle’s son, Cousin
Zhuo.
I knew that my dream was my memory.
“Little uncle, my parents should have many islands. They seem to be keen on
hiding treasures on the islands.” I asked my little uncle for confimation.
My little uncle smiled wryly. “Originally, all their wealth was handed over to
the Tong Family. When Big Brother made a move on you, they switched to this
tactic. They kept their wealth at different islands and made Big Brother look
for them. This way, he wouldn’t have the time to come after you.”
“But, I have drawn s0 many maps for Cousin Zhou.”
My little uncle sighed helplessly. “I know. Tong Zhuo had been my big brother’s
good helper since he was young. My Big Brother once praised him for being
better than his senior. With his intelligence, it was easy for him to deceive you.
However, you were still young at that time, so there was a limit to what you
could remember. Your parents also didn’t care about the maps you gave him.
They still had bigger treasures.”
