Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Song Calls for Lovesickness
After Wang Xiaomin came out of Shu Yang's place, it was already night, and today's night was very dark, plus it was a suburb here, there was no lighting equipment, only a gust of wind whistling, which was a bit in response to the phrase "The night is dark and the wind is high and kills people".
He was about to return the pendant, but when he passed the door of a renovated shop, a burst of string sounds suddenly came from inside the store, like a melodious sound.
Wang Xiaomin was instantly attracted by the sound of the piano, which was like crying, sometimes poignant, sometimes melodious, sometimes golden and iron, sometimes tactful and melancholy, it was like a heavenly sound, so that people who heard it would fall into it unconsciously.
Wang Xiaomin was already intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and he didn't even feel the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, he only felt extremely sad in his heart, and the scenes with Zheng Kexin always appeared in front of him.
At some point, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the store, sitting next to the concrete wall, with an old red wooden bench under his buttocks, wearing a black round felt hat, and his exposed hair was also intertwined in black and white.
A black Republic of China robe looks very clean, without a trace of dust, and only a pair of cloth shoes are worn on his feet.
"Can you understand the meaning of my song?" After the song, Wang Xiaomin was still immersed in his sadness, and the middle-aged man's voice pulled him back to reality from his sadness.
Wang Xiaomin smiled and said, "I don't understand, I just feel very sad." ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, pointed to half of his empty bench, wiped his sleeve and said, "Can you sit down?" ”
"No, I'll just stand. Wang Xiaomin didn't know the meaning of the middle-aged man, so he politely declined.
"Where are you sitting, I don't really like people standing and talking to me, it's rude. The middle-aged man pointed to a wooden plank not far away and said politely.
Wang Xiaomin became more and more fond of this middle-aged man, and he didn't care whether the planks were clean or not, so he sat down. "Excuse me, uncle, why are you playing the violin here alone?"
"I'm here to kill you... The middle-aged man did not shy away from it, and said bluntly.
"Oh, then why don't you do it?" Wang Xiaomin was not surprised, and he was not wary because of this, because he knew that if this person really had the intention to kill himself, he didn't know how many times he had died just now.
"Do you know what my song is called?" the middle-aged man did not answer his question directly, but asked an unrelated question.
"I don't know, but it's good!" Although Wang Xiaomin doesn't know much about music, he sincerely appreciates the song just now.
"Because I just knew from your expression and inner activity that you weren't a bad person, so I wasn't among the killings. ”
Wang Xiaomin was secretly shocked in his heart, "This person can peek into other people's inner thoughts with just a tune, it's just amazing." ”
The middle-aged man said again: "As long as anyone who has heard this song of mine, they will fall into their own thoughts, and the wicked will have evil thoughts, and the good people will also have good thoughts. ”
Therefore, I also named this song, "Calling Acacia", which means that I will produce my own thoughts and thoughts. The middle-aged man carefully introduced the music he was playing.
The middle-aged man was very talkative, and said to himself: "I am a killer, but I have three kinds of people who do not kill, kind and righteous people do not kill, women and children do not kill, and patriots do not kill." ”
"What kind of person am I?"
"You're the first. ”
The middle-aged man said to himself: "I didn't expect this to be the first time in my career as a killer of the piano." ”
Although Wang Xiaomin has never heard of his name, he admires himself from his three-no-kill principle, which is rare among existing killers.
"Then why did you take on this task in the first place?" asked Wang Xiaomin, puzzled.
"My employer told me that you are a heinous person, not only tyrannical, but also abducted. Qin Shengke shook his head and sighed: "It's all because I took it without investigating your details, which caused the mission to fail." ”
Wang Xiaomin smiled and said, "I didn't expect someone to exalt me like this, even I almost believed it, let alone you?"
"Hahaha, you're such an interesting person, if it weren't for our different identities, we might have become friends. The piano guest laughed heartily.
"Okay, since the mission has failed, I'm leaving, so you can do it yourself!"
Looking at his departing back, Wang Xiaomin asked loudly, "Can you tell me, who is the employer?"
Qin Shengke stopped and said, "You can't reveal your employer's identity in our business, but I still advise you to return other people's things as soon as you get them!"
What a master, coming and going without a trace! Wang Xiaomin sighed, but his face gradually became gloomy.
Although Qin Shengke did not say it explicitly, the last words left behind had clearly told Wang Xiaomin who his employer was, which not only did not destroy his principles, but also indirectly reminded him.
Wang Xiaomin squeezed the pendant in his hand tightly, saying that the clay man would also have three points of anger, and he was chased and killed again and again, even a saint couldn't help it.
Originally, he wanted to return the pendant late at night, but now he didn't want to, and he would return it tomorrow, so that they could hurry up one night first. But Wang Xiaomin didn't expect Yu Yali to fall out with Yu Qinghai because of this matter.
The next day, Wang Xiaomin came to pick up Yu Yali early in the morning, and when he saw her red and swollen face, he knew that he must have been beaten because of the pendant, and he was instantly angry, and pulled her to the study.
"Did you hit it?" Wang Xiaomin pointed to Yu Yali's face and looked at Yu Qinghai coldly and asked. Yu Yali did not stop him, but stood obediently behind him.
Originally, Yu Qinghai was very unhappy because of the pendant, and was questioned by others early in the morning, and his heart was even more angry, and he roared angrily: "I beat my daughter, what does it have to do with you?"
"Why did you hit her?" Wang Xiaomin clenched his fists, his voice became colder and colder, his eyes gradually turned red, he didn't know why, when he saw Yu Yali injured, he couldn't control his anger in his heart, he just wanted to get everything back for her, even her father.
Originally, he had already regretted beating Yu Yali, but now seeing Wang Xiaomin defending his daughter like this, Yu Qinghai felt very relieved, and his tone softened, and said:
"You should know why... ”
"Is it because of this?" Wang Xiaomin took out the pendant and threw it on the desk, "This pendant was given to me by Yali, but I don't want to possess it, although I don't know what this pendant is, but I found some secrets from it... ”
Wang Xiaomin didn't want to expose his knowledge of the tomb key, so he deliberately lied.
"What secret have you discovered?" Yu Qinghai suddenly stood up in shock。。。。。。
