Chapter 147: An Amazing Coincidence
The person who posted the task is called He Ruxin, a real estate boss with a rich net worth. Ten years ago, he began to offer a reward to protect his daughter He Mengdie for her twentieth birthday. This goal seems simple, but it has lost eight masters of the magic path, and all of them died on He Mengdie's birthday every year, but He Mengdie himself miraculously survived.
Three months ago, He Ruxin raised the bounty price several times in a row, and the remuneration soared all the way to 50 million, not to mention, He Ruxin even promised to take out 20% of the company's dry shares. If someone can successfully take on this task, they can live lying down for the rest of their lives. However, no one dared to take on this task. There is no other reason, but because the reputation of the few masters who died in the mission is too prominent.
Because of this task, the ranking of masters of the art path has been changed again.
The master list is not a hunter list, and the people on it are all masters of the previous generation, either the uncle of the current master of the hunter list, or the master. Even they are planted on this mission, is there anyone on the hunter list who dares to take over?
I frowned and looked at the information: "Eight masters have died in ten years, so how did He Mengdie survive the other two years?"
Xiao Qian'er said: "According to the information, He Ruxin once spent a lot of money to hire a team of demon hunters and three onmyoji from abroad. In those two years, they desperately saved He Mengdie. But none of those two batches of masters left a single living mouth. ”
"Understood!" I nodded, "Didn't the He family provide any corresponding clues?"
Ye Xuan handed over the information in his hand: "According to the clues provided by He Ruxin, his brother He Ruyi went out with a few friends to do a project, and when he came back, he said that he kept an eye on He Mengdie. It was said that a few of them had committed a big taboo. In the future, someone will find He Mengdie. He Ruyi swallowed his breath inexplicably after speaking. The clues are all broken. ”
Ye Xuan pulled out a photo from the information: "The only thing that still has some value is this photo." The person above is the person who worked with He Ruyi on the project. ”
It was an ordinary group photo, and the age difference between the five on it was not too big, and the oldest was only in his forties. Judging from their clothing, this photo should have been taken for some years, and whether the people on it are dead or alive, or who their surnames are, maybe they can't be found.
When I took the photo and looked at it, Xiao Qian'er suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Tie, the person in the photo is Uncle Tie?"
"Who?" I turned my head to look at Xiao Qian'er, her face was already a little pale: "Uncle Tie is Tie Danzi's father! At that time, I called him Uncle Tie." ”
Xiao Qian'er told me that what she met in the Hong family's villa also said about the iron egg. Can such a coincidence be in this world?
Ye Xuan also said: "Little Qian'er, don't you recognize the wrong person, right?"
"Can't be wrong!" Xiao Qian'er said: "Uncle Tie is a bricklayer who builds houses, and he also said that he has studied Lubanshu......? And Iron Danzi died on his birthday. Uncle Tie didn't let him go out to play that day, he didn't know how to run out, so he had to drag me to catch crickets. Actually, when I think about it, there must have been something wrong with it that day. And ......"
Xiao Qian'er paused: "Also, after Tie Danzi died." Uncle Tie built a tomb for him on the mountain. It can't be called a grave, it should be a house. He buried the iron egg in the house. Many people saw the house on the day of the burial. But then the house didn't know where it went. ”
Xiao Qian'er said to herself: "Later, I was taken back to the family, and I never went back to that mountain village." Shouldn't I go back and see? ”
I knocked on the table and said, "Can you remember anything else?"
Xiao Qian'er thought for a while before saying, "At that time, in the entire village, only me and Uncle Tie were the people who moved over. So we got close. At that time, Uncle Tie often went out, so he always handed over the iron eggs to my family to take care of. Me and Tie Danzi are two little guesses!"
"When I last met Uncle Tie, he also went out to work for others. Usually the first thing he did when he came back was to pick up Tiedanzi's home, but that day, he hurried back with a few bricklayers, and when he got home, he began to repair his storehouse. When Tie Danzi heard that his father was back, he happily ran home, and after a while, he came back crying, saying that Uncle Tie would not let him in. My mom coaxed him for a while. ”
"I remember that after Uncle Tie came back, he was rushing to work day and night, and when there were not enough people, he called back from the town and the county, and at that time it cost a lot of money to hire people from the county. Not many families in the countryside would do this, but Uncle Tie not only did it, but also hired two groups of people to come back. No one knows what he's going to do. ”
"Uncle Tie repaired the house for three or four days in a row, and he drove people away without even inviting those bricklayers to drink Shangliang wine. The bricklayers were quite upset when they left, and one of them, the one-eyed bricklayer, said a word. Don't pick on other people's affairs, other people's families have something to do, what are you doing with these things? Besides, aren't people doubling their money? It's not enough for you to drink. ”
"That one-eyed man has a lot of authority among the bricklayers, and when he speaks, no one else will say much. Uncle Tie also thanked him twice. ”
"It stands to reason that the house has just been renovated and can only be inhabited for two days, but as soon as Uncle Tie repaired the house, he took Tie Danzi home and locked him in the house, saying that he would not let him come out. At that time, Tie Danzi was crying and making trouble in the house, he had to come out, Tie Danzi's voice was hoarse, and Uncle Tie just locked the door and said that he wouldn't open the door for him. ”
"I remember that at that time, the cadres of the village women's federation and the school teachers all came to look for him, but Uncle Tie sat at the door with a knife, and no one could intercede. Just didn't let Tie Danzi come out, and when people asked him why he was holding the child, he refused to say. In a word, don't let the iron eggs come out. ”
Later, Tie Danzi was silent, I don't know what happened in the house? Uncle Tie was still sitting in the yard and not moving. ”
That night, Iron Danzi somehow ran out of my window, and insisted on finding me to catch crickets. I hadn't seen Iron Danzi for a few days, and I didn't care that I jumped out of the window and went up the mountain with him in the middle of the night. ”
"The place where we always catch crickets is not far from my house, but that day, let alone crickets, even other insects were not called. The entire hillside was silent. We're going farther and farther away. I'm scared to go, and I'm going to go home. Iron Danzi kept following me, but he didn't speak. It wasn't until I cried that he pointed to a path and said, "Follow this road!" ”
I didn't think much of it at the time, so I went down that road. But when I walked some distance, I realized that I had never walked that road before. I don't know if I can get home by which road, so I want to ask Tie Danzi what's going on. The others are gone, and the road I have traveled is gone. It's pitch black everywhere. I was so frightened that I ran down that road as fast as I could to get home. ”
"When I got home, my family was crazy. Ask me what's going on, and hurry up to find Uncle Tie. When Uncle Tie saw me coming back, he was stunned for a while before begging someone to go up the mountain to find Tie Danzi. It took three days of searching for the people in the village to find someone, and the iron eggs had already fallen into human shape. After Uncle Tie brought him home, I didn't dare to look at it. ”
Later, Uncle Tie built a tomb for Tie Danzi on the mountain and moved away. After that, I never saw Uncle Tie again. ”
After listening to this, I gritted my teeth and said, "That surnamed Tie should be killed! Tie Danzi should have died before he came to you." The bricklayer surnamed Tie wanted him to pull a stand-in. ”
Xiao Qian'er's face turned pale in an instant: "Uncle Tie, he won't ...... You won't do that, will you?"
I shook my head slightly and said, "People can't be measured by ordinary thinking at critical moments. With your own son on one side and the child next door on the other, who will you choose to save?"
Xiao Qian'er's face couldn't help but show a gloomy color, but Ye Xuan said: "Hey, that's not right! We all just knew about Xiao Qian'er, but how did the head lowering master in the Hong family's villa know?"
I said in a deep voice: "This is the uniqueness of Nanyang's secret technique. The other party should have captured the memory fragment of Xiao Qian'er's heart, and only then did he make an iron egg. Even if Xiao Qian'er escaped, the memory of Tiedanzi would always linger in her heart, forcing her to return to her hometown. If the head descender hadn't died, he would definitely go over in advance and put Xiao Qian'er to death. This is the uniqueness of Nanyang's secret art. ”
I said casually: "This time, I can take the opportunity of the mission to take Xiao Qian'er back, and by the way, see what happened back then?"
Xiao Qian'er shook her head and said, "Let me think about it, I don't know if I should go back." ”
When I saw Xiao Qian'er's state, I couldn't help frowning, hesitation is a big taboo for warlocks, what's wrong with Xiao Qian'er?
Don't talk about the little money, I don't want to ask too much. could only comfort the other party for a few words, but Xiao Qian'er hid back in the house and didn't come out all night.
Early the next morning, He Ruxin rushed to my villa with his secretary, and after shaking hands with me, he said, "Mr. Chen is much younger than I imagined." ”
I smiled and responded, "Is Boss He ready to make me shine?"
"No, I believe my introducer, Mr. Ning. He Ruyi asked the secretary to take a box: "This is the blood dragon ginseng that Mr. Chen wanted." Please inspect the goods!"
I casually pushed the box and pushed the little jelly bean: "Eat it!"
"Brother Fox, did you take on the task for this ginseng?" Little Jelly Bean's eyes turned red.
"Eat it!" I watched the little jelly bean eat the blood dragon ginseng before turning to He Ruxin: "When will the transaction start, Boss He...... Boss He......"
I noticed that He Ruyi's eyes were a little straight when he looked at the little jelly bean.
