Chapter 392 Bruce Carey
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
Sun Zhu tried to pretend to be stupid, but after thinking for a moment, he felt it was unnecessary and just looked at Anna, waiting for her next words.
After all, Senior Anna is one of our own, and there is no need to keep it a secret as to who created Uncle Long's "agent".Just this golden cup...
"Senior, so you know the guy who lives in Hogsmeade..."
"I don't know where he lives now, but I can tell you that his name is Bruce Carey. He is my brother-in-law. Although he is not related by blood, I haven't seen him for a long time." Anna nodded, "I have one at home. Many of his works have a carrot carved on each one. It is said that this is his favorite food..."
"What, radish?" Sun Zhu was stunned, "Where is the radish? Why didn't I see it?"
"The gold... tail, that day it sprayed water on a Ravenclaw in the restaurant, broke his book, and was chased around for several times. I was afraid something would happen, so I grabbed it ’s tail, I saw a familiar mark on it. It was very inconspicuous, only as big as a small fingernail, and I thought I had seen it wrong. But look at the inside of the handle of this golden cup, is there one too?"
Sun Zhu went over and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed such a small mark, but it was not a carrot. She was not sure. She just asked curiously: "But senior sister, why are you sure that I know about this?"
"Weren't you also at the auction that day?"
"Fina, Karina, and Seid, they are all here."
"But the flying gold is yours."
"Okay, but this matter is decided by the Ministry of Magic. I can't decide the key."
"You actually admit it like this?" Anna touched her chin, "I was just worried, so I came to ask you. After all, Hufflepuff shouldn't be cheating like this... but it seems like you really don't know the specific situation."
In fact, she really knew, but it was not convenient to say it.This feeling of being full of secrets is really unpleasant.
"Well, I didn't expect that the very powerful genius alchemist is your uncle." Sun Zhu decided to change the topic, "You can recognize his works, you must have a deep relationship with him."
"On the contrary. In fact, he is not much older than me. When my grandfather brought him back from the orphanage... ahem, anyway, I could just run around the house, and he was only seven or eight years old."
Then he is probably in his 20s this year.Sun Zhu tried to recall the appearance of "Bruce" and felt that he looked older than his actual age.
"He didn't talk much after he came back, and I was more lively. My grandfather said he was a rare genius. Although he didn't seem to really integrate into the Carey family, everyone was very tolerant of him in accordance with his grandfather's wishes." Anna He seemed to be recalling the past, and then shook his head, "Of course, we think we are tolerant. Because my parents only gave birth to me, and then told my grandfather that they would only need me as their child. My grandfather also only had my father as his child. , of course he was very dissatisfied, so he brought Bruce back. Ha, don’t you think it’s incredible? He thought Bruce was a genius, and he showed incredible alchemy talent when he was only seven or eight years old. He wanted to make any invention, grandfather All will be satisfied.”
Sun Zhu stared at Anna with a self-deprecating expression, not knowing how to answer the question.
"I had a good relationship with him at first, because I found that this little uncle could always make me a lot of weird little toys. But when I grew up, I realized that my grandfather didn't like me, not even with me. Like my parents. He pinned all his hopes on this person who has no blood relationship with him, just because he is gifted."
Sun Yuanbao, who was lying on Anna's lap, brushed his tail and shook off the football uniform covering her body.Sun Zhu bent down to pick it up and heard Anna let out a long sigh: "It's a pity. This kind of conditional love can naturally be taken away easily. After he turned 11 years old, his grandfather discovered that he had not received the Hogwart gift. Then I learned from Principal Dumbledore that Bruce was recognized as a squib by the Book of Admission. How ridiculous that a born alchemist turned out to be a squib. Tell me, how did he make these alchemical products? of?"
"I don't know. I asked him this question at the time, and he said that there is always something special about genius. That's probably his answer."
In fact, he was quite rude at that time, but in front of senior Anna, it was better not to speak ill of her uncle.
"Then he naturally noticed the change in his grandfather's attitude. Although he would not be kicked out of the house, the difference would naturally be noticed by any teenager. Later, a year before I entered Hogwarts, He left a letter saying that he would try to find the secret of alchemy elsewhere. He also said that he would work hard to make money in the future and return all the money the Carey family has spent over the years." Anna shrugged, "Yes. If I hadn’t received gold galleons from him in the past few years, I would have thought he had died outside.”
Sun Zhu suddenly understood why the guy seemed to regard money as his life. It turned out to be to pay off debts.Although, maybe the Kaili family has no intention of letting him return it, but...
Seeing that Anna looked inexplicably depressed, Sun Zhu changed the topic again: "Ah, I remember you said at the beginning that he was a crybaby..."
"It was because I gradually disliked him when I was a child, and I often teased him with onions." Anna did not hide it, "And he is indeed not very courageous. When I told him ghost stories, he would be frightened into tears every time, and he would always be so arrogant. He said that he was not afraid, but that he thought the story written by the other person was terrible. Tsk, he said it as if he could write it."
"Then have you ever seen him write?" Sun Zhu asked subconsciously.
Ana was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't really understand him."
"He should still be in Hogsmeade now. A little further past the Hog's Head Bar, you can see a trail. Follow the trail to the end and you can see him..."
Anna waved her hand: "I'm very busy. I'm just worried that this fake gold cup will be discovered by others and exposed by others. So I'm reminding you. Zhu, I know you have a way to convey it. And don't worry, Although I don’t know what you plan to do, I will keep it a secret.”
"Actually, I really don't know anything." Sun Zhu sighed.
Anna smiled, as if she immediately returned to her previous appearance where nothing could trouble her.
Out of nowhere, Sun Zhu suddenly asked: "Senior, do you have any favorite food?"
Anna was stunned and hesitated: "Pumpkin, it should be counted as one."
After all, Senior Anna is one of our own, and there is no need to keep it a secret as to who created Uncle Long's "agent".Just this golden cup...
"Senior, so you know the guy who lives in Hogsmeade..."
