Volume 1: Wrath Chapter 81: Clouds (1)
Fortunately, the western restaurant when the two of them were eating was not far from the compound where Huangfu's house was located, and Lin Feng didn't take the car again, because of the anxiety in his heart, he ran at full speed all the way, attracting a lot of surprised eyes, but Lin Feng didn't care about this, and came to the gate of the compound after more than ten minutes.
Far away, Lin Feng saw at a glance that Huangfu Xiaobo was squatting on the side of the road, lowering his head, and kept smoking the cigarette in his hand, and there were already four or five smoked cigarette butts scattered on the ground, and Huangfu Xiaobo's huge body trembled slightly under Lin Feng's careful observation.
"Xiaobo. β
Lin Feng sped up and ran towards Huangfu Xiaobo, stopping beside him.
Sensing Lin Feng's arrival, Huangfu Xiaobo slowly raised his lowered head, and when Lin Feng saw the face of Huangfu Xiaobo squatting on the ground, his heart was shocked, and his face changed.
At this time, Huangfu Xiaobo in front of Lin Feng and the two of them in the morning can be said to be like two people, squatting in front of Lin Feng, his eyes are red and swollen, the original cynical temperament has long disappeared, and his whole face is filled with sadness that cannot be concealed.
"What's going on?"
Lin Feng frowned, looked at Huangfu Xiaobo and asked.
"Lin Feng. β
Huangfu Xiaobo stood up, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, he still wanted to speak, but after his lips squirmed for a moment, his whole body suddenly began to twitch violently, which was a reaction of extreme sadness.
"Xiaobo. β
Lin Feng looked at Huangfu Xiaobo, who was standing beside him, depressed and hanging his head, and suddenly stretched out his right hand and held Huangfu Xiaobo's big hanging hand tightly.
Feeling Lin Feng holding him, Huangfu Xiaobo also raised his blood-red eyes, looking at Lin Feng with a calm face, as if the tightly clenched palms gave him strength, Huangfu Xiaobo slowly opened his trembling lips, and with all his strength, squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Lin Feng, Brother Biao... It's gone. β
Huangfu Xiaobo's voice was choked, and at the end he even had a whimper of emotional collapse, but Lin Feng still heard what he said.
"What!"
Lin Feng's eyes widened, although he had guessed that the people in the red ring would kill Chen Biao, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, only a few days had passed since they discovered the problem of Ma Ta Feiyan, Chen Biao had already been killed, you know, Chen Biao is a person in the compound, killing Chen Biao is basically equivalent to provoking the entire compound, these people in the red ring, are they really dead.
Calming down, Lin Feng looked at Huangfu Xiaobo and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Huangfu Xiaobo raised his hands to cover his face, and after a long time, he let out a long breath, put down his hand, forcibly calmed himself, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Just this morning, when we haven't come back yet, Aunt Wang found Brother Biao at the gate of the compound... β
Huangfu Xiaobo said, his mind kept recalling the scene when he came back just now, his voice couldn't help but become more and more fierce, and the emotions that had just eased began to gradually get out of control.
"Xiaobo, Xiaobo. β
Lin Feng's soothing voice sounded again, this was the third time he had appeased Huangfu Xiaobo's emotions, he knew that Chen Biao could be said to be the eldest brother in Huangfu Xiaobo's heart, and when he encountered this kind of thing, it was impossible for Huangfu Xiaobo to calm down, so he didn't force it, and asked, "Does the old man know?"
Huangfu Xiaobo pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Lin Feng, and nodded slightly.
"I'll go in and see the old man, do you want to come along?" Lin Feng asked.
"Nope. β
Huangfu Xiaobo turned his head away, not letting Lin Feng see his expression, he wanted to say a few more words, but after trying hard for a while, he could only shake his head silently.
"Alas. β
Looking at the emotionally unstable Huangfu Xiaobo, Lin Feng sighed softly, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Listening to Lin Feng's footsteps gradually disappearing, Huangfu Xiaobo squatted down again, stuffed another cigarette into his mouth, and took out the lighter.
"Click. β
"Click. β
"Click. β
Because of the trembling of his hands, Huangfu Xiaobo tried several times in a row and failed to light the cigarette in his mouth, and his expression couldn't help but change, and he held the lighter in his hand and smashed it forward.
"Bang. β
The firebolt cut a sad arc through the air and landed heavily on the icy concrete floor.
Looking at the broken lighter, Huangfu Xiaobo's eyes became redder and redder, and suddenly, he raised his right hand, covered his eyes violently, lowered his head, and his body trembled.
"Uh... β
At the gate of the empty and unmanned compound, there was a whimper that made the listener feel extremely depressed.
Inside the compoundββ
Lin Feng's steps were hurried, and after a while, he came to the gate of Huangfu's house, at this time, the gardener Uncle Ding and Steward Li were standing in front of the door, talking something, seeing Lin Feng coming, the two also stopped talking, looked up and said hello to him.
"Where's Grandpa Huangfu?"
Lin Feng looked at the two and asked.
"In his own room. β
Steward Li pointed to the small courtyard hidden in the bushes.
"Hmm. β
Lin Feng raised his feet and was about to go in, but was stopped by Uncle Ding.
"Lin Feng, Biaozi also grew up under the watch, the children in the compound, although they are not related, but they are no different from the children of their own family, the lord's current mood... Uncle Ding didn't finish speaking, and looked at Lin Feng who was standing in front of him.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ding, I'm measured. β
Lin Feng hooked the corners of his mouth, barely hooking up a smile, after all, in such a dull atmosphere, a smile was also a luxurious expression.
"Well, there you go. β
Uncle Ding said, moved his body, and let go of the door to Huangfu's house.
Walking all the way, the beautifully trimmed garden in the past did not let Lin Feng's eyes fall on it for a moment, but in a moment, Lin Feng walked to the small courtyard of the old man Huangfu.
The old man was not in his small courtyard, Lin Feng walked quickly into the low house, walked to the old man's bedroom with the door closed, took a deep breath, and raised his hand on the wooden door.
"Crunchβ"
With a sharp and piercing friction sound, the vermilion wooden door slowly opened, there was no light in the bedroom, only the afternoon sun shone in, the whole room was full of smoke, Lin Feng raised his eyes to look at the dark area without sunlight, the old man Huangfu was silently shaking the rattan and bamboo chaise longue that had been old, in the package of smoke, the figure of the old man Huangfu looked thinner.
Raising his hand and taking a puff of the bamboo pipe that he had been holding in his right hand, the old man Huangfu raised his head, his eyes also lost their brightness in the past, he looked at Lin Feng, and said in a low voice: "Lin Feng, here you are." β
"Hmm. β
Lin Feng nodded lightly, walked slowly to the old man Huangfu, and asked, "Grandpa Huangfu, what's going on?"
"What's going on?"
Looking down at the pipe in his hand that kept emitting green smoke, the old man opened his mouth, and just wanted to speak, but was stuck in his throat by a mouthful of phlegm.
"Ahem. β
Clearing his throat, the old man whispered, "Don't you really know what's going on?"
βγγγ β
Lin Feng didn't expect the old man Huangfu to ask him directly, his expression was slightly stunned, he stood straight beside the old man, and he didn't make a sound.
There was silence for a long time, so long that the tobacco leaves in the bamboo pipe were about to burn out, and the old man Huangfu spoke again: "Lin Feng, this time, I want you to tell me this matter completely." β
Listening to the old man's almost commanding tone, Lin Feng did not hesitate any longer, and accurately told the old man Huangfu what had happened and encountered since the night he got off the plane.
By the time Lin Feng's last sentence was over, the tobacco leaves in the bamboo pipe had been completely burned out, leaving only a cluster of black ashes.
The old man struggled to sit up, flipped over with his pipe, poured all the ashes into the trash can beside the wicker chair, and then whispered, "It seems that it is indeed the Biaozi who has provoked the wrong people." β
βγγγ Lin Feng didn't reply.
"Listen to what you just said, what kind of colorful eagle and black swallow are still locked up in our Huangfu's house?" the old man suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng's eyes were slightly stunned, and he said in surprise: "Grandpa Huangfu, you don't know?"
"At my age, it's too easy to know what to know, and too hard to know what to know. The old man Huangfu said: "Xiaobo did lock the two of them in the small building a few nights ago, but let go of this matter, since I promised him, I won't care about him anymore." β
"Well, it should still be there. Lin Feng nodded and said, "At the beginning, I persuaded Xiaobo to lock them up here, just to get more chips to rescue Chen Biao, but I didn't expect that... β
"Well, those two people do have some skills, you should go and see it later, and save some mistakes. The old man explained.
"Okay. β
Lin Feng nodded in response.
After a while, the old man of Huangfu leaned back on the rattan chair, and then said: "Lin Feng, in fact, you don't need to come to see me as an old man for the first time, in those years, I have experienced too many life and death, and the brothers who slept together yesterday may have their heads blooming the next morning, you look at me here." β
As he spoke, the old man ripped off his off-white cloth shirt, revealing his chest, only to see a hideous and twisted scar clearly visible on the dry skin.
Pointing to his scar, the old man said with a smile: "At that time, if this bullet deviated by five centimeters, my heart was shattered, so I am also a person who has died once. β
"Go ahead, take a look at Xiaobo, his feelings for Biaozi, everyone in the entire compound knows that this blow to him is indeed too great. β
"I have already met Huangfu Xiaobo when I came, and he is very emotionally unstable now, so I think it is better to let him calm down first. Lin Feng replied.
"Alas. β
The old man sighed deeply.
"Grandpa Huangfu, I want to know the whole process of finding Chen Biao's body today, this morning. β
"You go to Wang Mei, she is the first to find out. The old man lowered his slightly cloudy eyes and said without raising his head.
"Well, okay. β
Lin Feng nodded in response and turned to leave.
"Lin Feng. β
When he walked to the door frame, the old man Huangfu stopped Lin Feng.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the old man lying on the rattan chair with a calm expression.
"Ahem, ahem. β
The old man used too much force because of his shouting, and he coughed a few times, and after relieving himself, he raised a pair of angry eyes with something that Lin Feng had never seen before, and said coldly: "I look down on life and death, it doesn't mean that I don't plan to pursue it, and those who dare to touch the compound, I will let them know that these people in my compound can still eat." β
"Well, don't worry, grandpa. β
Lin Feng nodded, then turned around and walked out of the slightly cold hut.
