Chapter 243: Chasing the Wind and Shadows

"Wait for me. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Tao couldn't take a big breath in a hurry, and then stabbed down as well.

After a while, both of their heads were exposed to the water.

"Look, I've swam so far!" Mo Linshu shouted happily, "It's definitely not just 30 meters, it's 50 meters!"

"You're young, and your physical strength is better than mine. Tao couldn't say unconvinced.

"But I rode for more than half an hour. Mo Linshu grimaced, "You didn't consume much physical strength in the store. ”

"I haven't been sleeping well lately. After Tao couldn't swim to Mo Linshu's side, he said, "I've been sleeping late for the past few days. His gaze inadvertently fell on the necklace around Mo Linshu's neck.

It was a metal necklace with a strange shape, and the pendant was like a hovering nautilus, and Tao couldn't look at it, until he thought of mosquito coils.

Tao couldn't curiously point at Mo Linshu's neck, "You wear it when you go down to swim in the river, aren't you afraid of getting rusty?"

"Don't be afraid. Mo Linshu said solemnly, "This is my father's 18th birthday gift, and it will definitely not rust." ”

Tao couldn't really ask why the Mous sent it didn't rust, but he didn't say anything. He instinctively sensed that Mo Linshu's answer would be related to wealth and the like, and this was the last thing he wanted to discuss.

"Come again. Mo Linshu stepped on the water and said, "Do you see that crooked-necked tree by the river in the distance? Let's start at the same time to see who can swim there first!"

"Come on, come on. Tao couldn't help but say.

The two shouted at the same time, "One, two, three!" and plunged into the water together.

The crystal and fine splash of water splashed on the sturdy bodies of the two with a fresh breath. Boom, boom, the sound of the water is like music, it is a song of joy in the summer.

"You want to be better than me everywhere?" Tao couldn't paddle forward hard and thought to himself, "Then you have to ask me if I agree or not!"

A few minutes later, Tao couldn't reach the river first, and he cheered excitedly, "I'm first, hahaha!"

Mo Linshu wiped a handful of water from his face, "Okay, you're pretty good." ”

"Hey, hey. Tao couldn't smile smugly, and suddenly hit the surface of the water hard, splashing the water on Mo Linshu's head. "Look at the move!"

Mo Linshu was defenseless, and a lot of water immediately poured into his eyes and mouth. "Wow, you're sneaking up!"

The two of them giggled and laughed by the river, and then swam for a while. It wasn't until the sun went down and the tired birds returned to their nests that they returned to shore.

The afterglow of the setting sun softly casts on this green countryside. The midsummer heat gradually dissipated, the cool evening breeze blew slowly, and the joyful chirping of crickets sounded in the grass.

Tao couldn't lie lazily on the grass with Mo Linshu, counting the clouds in the sky in a daze. Countless curled clouds walked slowly, as if Tao couldn't be full of thoughts.

"Xiao Mo, there is something I am really curious about. ”

"What, so carefully. Mo Linshu said with a smile, "We have known each other for more than seven years, you can ask whatever you want." ”

"It's your longevity lock. Tao couldn't say, "Those two pieces of amber are not the new materials you bought, I don't think I've ever seen them before." ”

"Well, it's not new. Mo Lin Shu lowered his smile, "What's wrong?

"It's not. Tao couldn't scratch his head, "I'm just a little curious, because I've never seen anything like that." He hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Mo, isn't that material particularly expensive?"

"Expensive?" Mo Linshu laughed, "It can be regarded as a priceless treasure." ”

Tao couldn't be stunned, "Does it mean that you don't sell it for as much as you give?"

"If you want to understand it that way, you can do it. Mo Linshu sat up, the water on his body had already been dried by the wind. He got up and walked over to the bike, ready to get dressed.

"Ahh

Tao couldn't notice that Mo Linshu's neck was empty, and the necklace was gone!

"Could it be that it fell in the grass?" Tao couldn't speak, but also stood up to help find it.

"It's bad. Mo Linshu said in a panic while looking for it, "It's over." ”

Tao couldn't listen to what he said seriously, and couldn't help asking, "Will Uncle Mo blame you for his temper?"

"He doesn't necessarily blame me, but I will blame myself!" Mo Linshu's panic overflowed, which made Tao couldn't secretly wonder: the Mo family has never cared much about money and wealth, why do they value a metal necklace so much?

The two searched for a long time in the grass, but still found nothing.

Mo Linshu thought for a while and asked, "No, when was the last time you saw my necklace?"

"I want to think about it......," Tao couldn't recall, "it seems like when you said you were going to swim to the crooked neck tree, yes, it was at that time, and you were still wearing a necklace at that time." ”

"It's over, and I fell into the river. When Mo Linshu heard this, he rushed into the river without hesitation. Tao couldn't see this, so he had to follow.

The river is not deep, less than three meters at its deepest point and less than forty centimeters at its shallow. Tao couldn't keep his eyes open and groped at the bottom of the river. The metal necklace was so thin that he could only try to find something shiny.

The two searched in the river for a while but couldn't find it, Tao couldn't be a little discouraged, "What if it's swallowed by a fish?" After a while, the sun will set, and then it will be even more invisible. ”

"If you can't find it after dark, you go to the store and get a flashlight. Mo Linshu said, "You must find the necklace." ”

Tao couldn't see that he didn't want to give up, and was very helpless, so he had to plunge into the river again.

Probably because of the mercy of the heavens, after a few minutes, Tao could finally see a faint flash of light on an underwater plant. He swooped down, then dragged the plant out of the river's bottom.

Tao couldn't surface, and shouted, "Xiao Mo, look at it, isn't this it?"

Mo Linshu surfaced when he heard the sound, and then quickly swam to Tao Fu's side. He grabbed it and looked at it, and hugged Tao Fu excitedly, "That's it! Thank you so much! Really! Thanks to you!" He didn't have time to clean the sludge off the necklace, so he held the necklace to his mouth and kissed it.

"I don't even know how to thank you. Mo Lin Shu clutched the necklace tightly, as if he were clutching his fate. "Say, how can I thank you?"

"Hey, thank you for something. Tao couldn't smile. He wanted to say, "If you give me 2,800 yuan, that's the best thank-you." But the words rolled in his throat like sharp thorns, and he could not say anything. He remembered what Kuang Meiyan had said during the quarrel, and suddenly felt an inexplicable desolation.

In the end, Tao couldn't just point to the sky, "Go back, it's not too early." ”

"Let's go, go to my house for dinner!" Mo Linshu said happily, "Call your daughter-in-law and Wu Nian too, we haven't eaten together for a long time!"

Tao couldn't smile and walked to the shore, "Another day, there is something going on these days." ”

"What's the matter, can you delay eating?" Mo Linshu followed ashore and asked curiously.

Tao couldn't smile, "The things on my daughter-in-law's side are all trivial things. ”

Meda's words were like a seed wandering around, forming a dense and dark jungle in Tao's heart: "Mysterious amber, expensive necklaces, unknown wealth, and faces that don't look like Chinese, the Mo family may really hide some terrible secrets." ”

Mo Linshu couldn't send Tao downstairs, "I won't go up, say hello to my sister-in-law and Wunian for me." ”

"Well, you can go back quickly. Tao couldn't wave his hand, "It's getting dark, and if you don't go back to Xiaoguan, you should be in a hurry." ”

After seeing Mo Linshu's bicycle disappear into the night, Tao couldn't pull out a box of matches and lit a cigarette. He finished smoking the cigarette downstairs and made a decision.

Tao couldn't afford not to go home, but walked to the guest house ten kilometers away. Passing by a grocery store on the way, he went in and bought some pastries. "Next time, I'll have to let Meiyan fry some peanuts and bring them over. Tao couldn't get out of the store, thinking to himself, unconsciously quickening his pace.

"I was thinking, I didn't have enough for dinner, should I go out and buy something to eat, and you came. Meda smiled and greeted Tao through the door, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Didn't I happen to be passing by? Tao couldn't lie, and handed the pastry to Maida in his hand. "This is a local mung bean cake in Hancheng, it tastes good, you can try it. ”

"Good. Meda smiled, "Brother Tao is so good to me. ”

Tao couldn't go to the window and looked out, "If you live in Hancheng, you might as well rent a house." It's not cost-effective to live in a guest house, you see that Brother Gao rents a house to live. ”

"It's fine. Meda grinned, "It's nice for me to live here." He looked at Tao Wu carefully, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it. Tao couldn't subconsciously say, "Today, my boss happened to have something to do with me, so we had dinner together." ”

"Oh. Meda nodded, "By the way, I went to a few shops this afternoon. ”

"Do you have any good products in mind?"

Meda pouted, "There are good ones, but they are all more vulgar." He rubbed his nose, "I'm still thinking about that six-colored amber, and after hearing what you said, I even thought about sleeping." ”

Tao couldn't laugh, "Xiaomei, you're too funny, Amber doesn't have long legs, and she can't run away." ”

"It's hard to say. Meda said solemnly, "If your owner suddenly sells it, then I will never see this treasure again." ”

"He's not going to sell. Tao couldn't sigh, "I asked him today, and he said it was priceless." I look at his expression, it doesn't look like a joke, I'm sorry, Xiaomei, I've disappointed you. ”

To Tao's surprise, Meda didn't show an unhappy look, instead, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up, "So valuable?"

"No matter how valuable it is, it's useless, and he doesn't sell it. Tao couldn't sit down on a wicker chair, "You might as well think about something else." There are so many 'old Burma' here, and you can always encounter strange materials. ”

Hearing that Tao couldn't say that, Meda stopped insisting, and he carefully tore open the package of mung bean cake and tasted a small piece. "Well, it's delicate and sweet. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the mung bean cake, "Come, you can eat it too." ”

Tao couldn't swim all afternoon, and he hadn't eaten yet, so he was already hungry. He unceremoniously gulped down the mung bean cake, an expression that made Meda laugh out loud.

"What's wrong?" Tao asked blankly.

"Nothing. Meda smiled and said, "I see you eating, and you really look like my big brother." He also likes to eat a lot, and it tastes good to see him eat. ”

"Really?" Tao couldn't be a little embarrassed, "I don't look good." ”

"Men, it doesn't matter if you look good or not. Meda said disappreciatively, "Men, you have to be pragmatic and down-to-earth to earn money." At the bottom of the story, a man has to support his family, and at a big point, a man has to make a name for himself. ”

These impassioned words came to Tao's heart, and he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

"Brother Tao, what are you worried about?" Meda put down the unfinished mung bean cake and stared at Tao Wu, "If you don't treat me as an outsider, just tell me, maybe I can help you." ”

Tao couldn't expect that his heart would be seen by a young man, and he didn't feel very embarrassed, "You can't help me, alas." ”

"Not necessarily. Meda patted her thigh, "Although I am not very old, I have been to many places and made a lot of friends, maybe I can solve your troubles." ”

Tao couldn't twist for a long time, and then Ai Ai said: "I, my daughter-in-law has caused me trouble." ”

"What?" Meda clearly didn't understand what he meant.

"My daughter-in-law...... lent money to people. ”

"Lending?" Meda blinked, still confused.

"It's my daughter-in-law who vouched for her and borrowed money, and the amount was very large. Now, the man is not on it. Tao couldn't finish speaking, and felt that the roots of his ears were burning all at once.

"Oh. Meda suddenly realized, "That is, Sister-in-law Tao owes money to the bank?"

“...... It is also possible to ...... Let's put it this way. Tao couldn't get irritated and took out his cigarette case, "Do you smoke?"

"Give me one. Meda pulled out a delicate silver lighter, and Tao couldn't look at it with envy. "Poof. Meda lit a cigarette for Tao before lighting it for herself.

"How much?" Meda spat out an ethereal smoke ring.

“2800。 Tao couldn't think of Kuang Meiyan's crying face, and his heart suddenly felt irritable.

"It's not a small number, indeed. Meda said after taking a few puffs of her cigarette. His face grew serious and cold under the smoke and light.

"yes. Tao couldn't force a smile, "That's why I said, you can't help me." ”

"If not, will Sister-in-law Tao go to jail?"

"It's not going to go to jail, but it's going to be bad. She was originally a probationary party member, and as soon as this happened, ......" Tao couldn't sigh heavily, "It can be regarded as a ruined future." ”
