Volume 1: Fury Chapter 85: Dark Clouds (5)
Knocking on the mottled iron door again, Lin Feng and the others waited for a while, and Shi Wenlong, who had just met, appeared in front of the two again.
"Brother Huangfu, Lin Feng, why are you... ”
Looking at the two people outside the door, Shi Wenlong was also surprised, and the words of doubt involuntarily came out, and he realized that something was wrong halfway through speaking, and quickly stopped his mouth.
Seeing that Shi Wenlong was halfway through his words, Huangfu Xiaobo didn't say much, waved his hand, raised his feet and walked into the courtyard a few steps, without beating around the bush, he said directly: "Wenlong, let me ask you something." ”
Looking at Huangfu Xiaobo with a serious face, Shi Wenlong pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, and his face stiffened slightly: "Brother Huangfu, if you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”
"Hmm. ”
Huangfu Xiaobo looked at Shi Wenlong with both eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Wenlong, what did you do this morning after you heard Aunt Wang's shout?"
"What did you do?"
Shi Wenlong's expression froze, his pupils opened slightly, as if he was recalling the content of Huangfu Xiaobo's questioning, and after a while, the gaze of a pair of eyes returned to the two people in front of him, and said calmly: "I heard Aunt Wang's shout this morning, and ran out directly, and when I was about to run to the intersection, I saw that the gate of Huangfu's house was opened, and Uncle Ding ran out, and when Uncle Ding saw me, he asked me a word." ”
"What did Uncle Ding ask you?" Huangfu Xiaobo hurriedly asked.
"Uncle Ding asked me... ”
Shi Wenlong recalled for a moment and said, "Uncle Ding asked me if I had seen Steward Li. ”
"Uncle Li?" Huangfu Xiaobo looked surprised, obviously unable to believe it.
Seeing the shock in Huangfu Xiaobo's heart, Lin Feng, who was standing beside him, immediately whispered, "Xiaobo, calm down." ”
It seemed that Lin Feng's words had an effect, Huangfu Xiaobo's mood calmed down again, sorted out his mood, he turned his head to look at Lin Feng, opened his mouth and pretended to smile easily, and then asked Shi Wenlong, "Then what?"
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shi Wenlong replied: "Then Uncle Ding said that he would go to the intersection first to see what was going on, and let me go to your building to see if Steward Li was there, although I was strange at the time, but I still went to your house to take a look, and after I didn't find Steward Li, I rushed to the intersection of the compound, at that time everyone had already come out, and you also knew what happened after that, Brother Huangfu, so I don't need to repeat it." ”
"Hmm. ”
After listening to Shi Wenlong's narration, Huangfu Xiaobo nodded slowly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Shi Wenlong and said, "That's okay, Wenlong, I'm going to go home first, thank you." ”
"Eh, what's the thank you for this, you can help the eldest brother. Shi Wenlong hurriedly waved his hand and said.
Looking at Huangfu Xiaobo, who was about to leave, Lin Feng didn't say anything more, smiled politely at Shi Wenlong, and then walked out of the courtyard.
The two walked on the side of the road one after the other, staring at the silent back of Huangfu Xiaobo all the way, and finally stopped when they walked to the gate of Huangfu's house.
"Lin Feng. ”
After hesitating for a while, Huangfu Xiaobo turned around, glanced at one place, and said in a low voice: "You say, should I ask Uncle Ding and Uncle Li." ”
"Just ask. Lin Feng's tone was calm.
“。。。 Huangfu Xiaobo did not reply.
"What's going on?" Lin Feng chuckled, "Didn't you just figure it out just now, why did it happen like this again?"
"Hey. ”
Huangfu Xiaobo raised his head and sighed, and said in a tangled voice: "This is different from just now, Uncle Ding and Uncle Li, they are both people who came to this house before me, how dare I question them? How can I question them?"
"I can't help you this time. ”
Lin Feng spread his hands and said in a low voice helplessly: "This is your own family matter, it's up to you." ”
"I... ”
Huangfu Xiaobo turned around and was about to say something, when suddenly, his body was stunned, and his face looked forward unnaturally.
Noticing Huangfu Xiaobo's strange appearance, Lin Feng also raised his head and followed his line of sight, at the end of the road, a figure was slowly walking towards the two, and after seeing the person clearly, Lin Feng couldn't help but purse his lips and narrowed his pupils slightly.
I saw that the man was dressed plainly, not tall but straight, and under his slightly pale hair was a weather-beaten face, and the person who came was the person Lin Feng and the others had just talked about, Steward Li.
Looking at Huangfu Xiaobo, who was not far from him and had a stiff body, Lin Feng hurriedly raised his feet, came to him in two steps and stood still, as if sensing Lin Feng's arrival, Huangfu Xiaobo's face also relaxed, and quietly looked at Steward Li, who was getting closer and closer to the two.
When the distance between the three of them was only about ten steps, Steward Li, who was walking slowly, raised his eyes to look at the two, he didn't stop at his feet, and said with a smile: "Xiaobo, Lin Feng, what are you two doing standing at the door, don't you hurry up and go home." ”
After waiting for a while, seeing that Huangfu Xiaobo didn't reply, Lin Feng had no choice but to hook the corners of his mouth and replied with a smile: "Uncle Li, it's too stuffy in the room, let's go out and smoke a cigarette to breathe." ”
"Oh?"
Steward Li's sparse eyebrows were raised, and he smiled and said, "Xiaobo actually knew that he came out to smoke, but I want to tell the master about this." ”
Between the two talking, Steward Li had already walked in front of the two of them, but he didn't stop at all, his body slightly avoided the two people standing in front of him, and walked towards the Huangfu compound step by step, at the moment when Steward Li had stepped into the threshold of the compound with one foot, Huangfu Xiaobo, who had not made a sound, clenched his hands and suddenly shouted.
"Lieber. ”
Hearing Huangfu Xiaobo suddenly speak, Lin Feng also raised his head and looked at the big man standing beside him in surprise.
"Huh?"
Steward Li heard Huangfu Xiaobo call himself, his body shook slightly, but he only stopped his figure in an instant, he unhurriedly retracted his other foot into the compound, and then turned around, looking at Huangfu Xiaobo with an indifferent expression.
Turning around slowly, Huangfu Xiaobo raised his head, his face was resolute, and his eyes looked directly at Steward Li.
"What's wrong? Steward Li looked puzzled: "Why are you so serious?"
Steward Li's question fell into the ears of Huangfu Xiaobo, and after he was entangled for a moment, he slowly asked, "Uncle Li, I want to ask you, where were you this morning, when everyone first found Brother Biao?"
Asking the doubts in his heart, Huangfu Xiaobo suddenly felt that his heart was relieved, just like a huge stone pressing on him was suddenly moved, and his whole body was a lot easier, but at this time, his face was still slightly condensed, staring at Steward Li standing in the Huangfu compound.
After listening to Huangfu Xiaobo's questioning, Steward Li was silent at first, and then cracked his mouth, and the smile soon crawled all over his wrinkled face.
"That's what you're asking. ”
Steward Li paused, and then explained: "Over the years, I have gone out to buy vegetables at six o'clock in the morning every day, and this purchase is an hour, and it was more than seven o'clock, and I was still on my way back." ”
After listening to Steward Li's explanation, Huangfu Xiaobo also suddenly remembered, the old man also told him before, Steward Li went out at six o'clock every day to go out on time to buy vegetables, and he couldn't move, why did he forget it? And now he still puts on a look of asking Steward Li about the guilt. Thinking of this, Huangfu Xiaobo couldn't help but feel embarrassed, his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
After all, Steward Li also grew up watching Huangfu Xiaobo, how could he not know Huangfu Xiaobo's current mood, so he raised his hand and waved, and said with a smile: "Xiaobo, something happened to Biaozi, I know that you are very anxious now, and I also understand you, Li Bo and I have been in the compound for more than thirty years after all, if you two find anything, or can't make up any ideas, if you don't dislike it, you can also tell me." ”
"Hmm. ”
Without waiting for Huangfu Xiaobo to speak, Lin Feng nodded first, and said to Steward Li: "Uncle Li, Xiaobo is also very confused now, thank you for your understanding, if there is anything uncertain, I will definitely ask you." ”
"Well, that's good. ”
Steward Li rolled his gaze, and a pair of bright and wise eyes fell on Lin Feng's face, and Lin Feng looked at him without flinching.
"Good, good, good. ”
After a while, Steward Li nodded, smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first, after all, there are still many things waiting for me at home." ”
"Well, okay. ”
Lin Feng also laughed.
After glancing at the faces of Lin Feng and Huangfu Xiaobo a few times, Steward Li turned around and walked towards the courtyard in the sight of the two outside the door.
Watching Steward Li's figure disappear into the bushes, Huangfu Xiaobo scratched his head with a look of annoyance, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Hey, Lin Feng, I'm impulsive again." ”
"What's this?"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "You can ask the doubts in your heart, it's better than holding them in your heart all the time, isn't it much more comfortable now?"
"That's right. Huangfu Xiaobo nodded approvingly.
"Moreover, Li Bo also watched you grow up, how could he not know what you were thinking, and he would be more relieved to ask him, because in this way he could see that you did not treat him as an outsider. Lin Feng then comforted.
"Haha. ”
Huangfu Xiaobo grinned, and his trademark laugh came out again: "Although I know that you are comforting me, it sounds quite reasonable." ”
Listening to the familiar laughter, Lin Feng also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as one of Lin Feng's few friends, of course he didn't want to see Huangfu Xiaobo's will be so depressed.
After a while, Huangfu Xiaobo also stopped laughing, his mood calmed down, and his eyes stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes, staring at him in the hair.
"What are you doing... ”
Lin Feng subconsciously took a step back and looked up at Huangfu Xiaobo with a strange expression.
Huangfu Xiaobo also noticed his actions, but he didn't care at all, nodded firmly and said, "Lin Feng, thank you." ”
"Huh. ”
Lin Feng looked at Huangfu Xiaobo and smiled, shook his head and said, "Thank you, who made us friends?"
"Yes. ”
Huangfu Xiaobo also nodded, and said with a smile: "We are friends. ”
