Chapter 122: Lost Contact
The night breeze blew a slight chill and blew the white curtains up and down.
The hot spring inn is probably close to the hot springs, and the air has a heavy moisture, and Bai Yicong has the dampness of water vapor when he breathes. In winter, the interior is still a little cold, and the cold air through the window turns into a thin layer of frost, which clings to the transparent glass window and condenses into beautiful frost flowers.
There was no air conditioning in the house, and Bai Yicong felt that it was too stuffy to turn on the air conditioner, so he simply chose to open the window instead.
The cold always promotes people's thinking, and the excessively low room temperature keeps Bai Yicong awake at two o'clock in the morning, and his mind is rapidly analyzing the reasons for certain things, such as Liu Mu's abnormal performance at the moment, which he has to think about.
Liu Mu made a call to Bai Yicong last night, but he was in Zhaohui Mountain at the time, and the phone was completely like a brick, and there was no signal at all, so it was a long time before he received a missed call reminder.
The time and space in Zhaohui Mountain were stretched for a long time, and Bai Yicong was not sure how long he had been trapped in that ancient temple, under the realm of the goddess, time and space seemed to have lost the meaning of existence. So the way in which time is recorded as known to mankind has lost its meaning, and in those infinitely extended mirages, the past and the present are confused, and the means of communication are of course meaningless.
When Bai Yicong and He Manzhou left Zhaohui Mountain, he called Liu Mu as soon as possible, but no one answered there.
Adhering to Liu Mu's consistent style, those hands are like they can't type, and they have to make a phone call for big things, regardless of whether it is convenient or not, or according to Liu Mu's young master's temper, it is completely true: Lao Tzu's convenience is more important than anyone's convenience, I am inconvenient or uncomfortable, and once I am uncomfortable, no one wants to be comfortable.
As for you not feeling well, it's easy to do it, either bear with it or don't let me know, or you don't want to be comfortable.
Bai Yi has never educated this bastard boy more than once, it is nothing more than saying that Liu Mu is unreasonable, like a spoiled gentleman, and there are too many behaviors that hinder the Bai family's family style, which really makes him, the head of the family, unbearable.
Liu Mu's behavior is too typical, in ancient times, he was the kind of loser of a big family, he didn't do anything serious all day long, either a small gamble or a place to drink flower wine, carrying a bird cage and walking on East Street towards West Street, a whole day of good time passed, idle and idle, plus the kind of master who had to whistle when he met a beautiful girl.
"So when will you learn to think about other people's feelings, or rather, find something serious to do?"
"Hey, I'm not young...... If you have experienced a lot of things, you will naturally come out, but it is just the length of time. Cousin, are you worried, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Yicong didn't see any potential in Liu Mu for the natural straightness of the boat to the bridge, but found that many dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water. And his verbal criticism did not have much effect on Liu Mu, at most he restrained a little in front of Bai Yicong, but there was no change in essence.
Just talking about the phone call, Liu Mu still always goes his own way, regardless of the time.
Even if it's what time it is in the morning, as long as he thinks about it, he can wake someone up with a phone call. It's not okay if others don't pick it up, otherwise Liu Da Shao will be stunned to be able to kill the serial call until someone picks it up, this kind of behavior is said to be angry at best, and it is to disturb the people at worst, but the other side is still very temperless, and the reason is nothing more than to offend. Many behaviors can be said to make those who clearly feel that Liu Mu's behavior is too annoying, but those who dare not say it in front of Liu Dashao are quite distressed, and all their psychological activities are afraid to be angry in the end.
Bai Yicong can be regarded as suffering from this, but his strong deterrent power in front of Liu Mu does not allow the stinky boy to make any mistakes. Although Liu Mu couldn't change the problem of nine out of ten nonsense sentences on the phone, he didn't dare to blow up his cousin's mobile phone when it was not very necessary, for fear of being scolded by the root of his ear.
So when he came back from Zhaohui Mountain and saw the three missed call reminders, Bai Yi's first reaction was to feel abnormal. According to Bai Yicong's understanding of Liu Mu, if it weren't for the fact that this kid seemed to have a pain in the egg and started to have convulsions again, then there was really something urgent to find him, or that kind of big thing that could not be delayed.
But since it was a big deal, why did no one answer Liu Mu when he called back?
It stands to reason that for Liu Mu, who is a hotline 24 hours a day, it is already very unusual for the phone to be unavailable, and as for yesterday's missed calls, he has not given a reply until now, and it has never been a thing. There must be a demon when things go wrong, what kind of moth is Liu Mu's kid tossing?
Thinking like this, Bai Yicong couldn't help but start recalling his contact with Liu Mu.
During this time, his heart was on Wucheng, and he was worried every day about how to find out the clues of the treasure of the relict king as soon as possible and find the location of the Tower of Babel and the ancient temple, so he didn't have much effort to care about the affairs of Bai Yulou and the Bai family. In this regard, of course, Bai Yicong can guide the country remotely, but there is an indispensable premise for these things, that is, someone within the Bai family must keep an eye on him, and once there is any emergency, someone will inevitably deal with it.
This arduous task was naturally placed on Liu Mu's body, and Bai Yicong was of course indispensable to contact him.
Looking at the entire Bai family, everyone knows that Bai Yicong has the best relationship with Liu Mu, whether it is the scheming Bai Second Master or the Bai Third Master who is watching the fire from the other side, Liu Mu is automatically planned to Bai Yicong's camp. And Liu Mu did not live up to the big guy's expectations of him at all, and he was very conscientious and competent in espionage work, and he was quite well-informed to deliver first-hand information to Bai Yicong, plus first-hand gossip about his cousin.
For example, on the day of the end of the auction, Liu Mu was like a senior reporter of the paparazzi, and he called for condolences as soon as possible, and he didn't care about serious things at all, and opened his mouth to ask Bai Yicong about his emotional experience with He Manzhou.
"Cousin, you are too willing to be sister-in-law, our Bai family's heirloom treasures are all said to be sent, and business opportunities and connections are not given as if they were given money, what is the situation, is it to pave the way for not being a family in the future, not entering a family?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Bai Yicong's attitude was very light, and he wanted Liu Mu to shut up immediately, "These rumors and rumors are all spread by gossips like you, gossip is meaningless, it's better to think about something practical." ”
"Hey, cousin, don't beat people to death with a stick, how dare I talk nonsense? I'll keep it all ........"
Liu Mu smacked his tongue, and didn't care whether Bai Yicong liked to listen to it or not, so he continued to talk with a big grin.
"I heard that friends in the antique circle of Wucheng are going crazy, the love story between you and your sister-in-law is called a ups and downs, several versions are more dramatic than the other, and the big guys are sighing that your 10,000-year-old iron tree has finally bloomed, which is called an exciting. I said, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and I helped you check the information of my sister-in-law at the beginning, and I also helped you with the auction...... Bai Ye, don't you mean it?"
"Where did you come from, sister-in-law?" Bai Yicong's voice was cold, "Moreover, come to me to ask for credit, and you are out of business?"
"How dare I ask for credit, it's just a matter of facts...... Cousin, what are you hiding from me about this, tell me about it, I promise that the topic will stop when it comes to me, and it will definitely not be spread out, isn't it okay?"
But even if Liu Mu said it, Bai Yicong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and completely treated his as air. In this regard, Liu Mu quite pretentiously understood this as everything was silent, and his cousin said that he couldn't do anything about him, so he simply acquiesced.
So for a long time after that, Bai Yicong was deeply tortured by Liu Mu.
Regardless of whether Bai Yicong admits it or not, Liu Dashao took the prerequisite that he had investigated He Manzhou's information for him, and had a little understanding of his cousin's previous trip to Wucheng, and decided that he could be regarded as mastering the information of eating melons with one hand, so it was logical to start a long side knock.
At the beginning, Liu Mu still adhered to a business-like attitude, just asking a few words when reporting to Bai Yi on the phone, and the proportion was also based on the internal trends of the Bai family, supplemented by emotional experience and personal attitude.
But later, Liu Mu's focus gradually changed. Between his words, he inevitably inquired more about He Manzhou, and then became inquiring about the people around He Manzhou, such as the senior sister who had a good relationship with her, I heard that it was still a female teacher named ...... Expectancy.
"Gu ......." Bai Yicong whispered the name.
He still remembered the subtle changes in Liu Mu's words when he talked about this girl.
The trilling sound that was chewed between the lips and teeth had a subtle sweetness, if there really was some invisible emotion that came out of the lines.
That's probably something that can't be disguised.
Regarding Liu Mu's love life, Bai Yicong didn't want to give any evaluation at all. But this time, no matter how much he realized it later, he still felt a trace of difference in Liu Mu's words and deeds. From the perspective of a bystander, he didn't put gold on his cousin's face at all, but simply said something, Bai Yicong carefully recalled the time of the previous twenty years, and he really hadn't met Liu Mu when he was so interested in a girl.
The last time he contacted Liu Mu, he also said mysteriously that he was going on a date.
Bai Yicong only thinks that he is going to take a pure little Internet celebrity or a bewitching little model on a trip, have a drink on the beach in Sanya, or take advantage of the winter to see the snow in Hokkaido, and do those extravagant and meaningless things.
"How can you be so capitalist, cousin, this time I'm going to get down to business. Liu Mu smiled mysteriously at that time, and did not say it thoroughly, but said very meaningfully, "I will go to send warmth to the people's teachers, whether it will be successful or not depends on this time, if it goes well, your younger brothers and sisters will come." ”
Bai Yicong: "......."
Whether these words are exaggerated or true, Bai Yi never paid much attention to it.
Or in other words, when Liu Mu really brought the so-called "younger siblings" home, he regarded it as an illusory thing, and there was no need to care too much.
Bai Yicong has always had a free-range attitude towards his cousin, especially Liu Mu's love life of having to change an object of pursuit at two ends in three days, and he feels that he is not enough to give him a headache. Unless it's really a stinky boy poking out some basket, Bai Yicong has to wipe Liu Mu's fart, and other times he just adheres to the attitude of "he's happy", he really cares, but he is really lazy to ask, so he just goes with him.
But now that I recall it, it was after that that Liu Mu's phone could no longer get through.
Liu Dashao actually lost contact like this.
