Chapter 18: Cause and Effect
Abin left the wanderer with his front foot, and Li Banruo got up with a yawn, but his expression was very serious.
Lao Wu could see that Li Banruo was worried about Abin's trip, but he didn't break it, he knew Li Banruo's temper too well, and Li Banruo would not say these superfluous emotions.
"I'll leave it to you tonight, I'll go see the Ninth Master. Li Panruo stretched his waist, left such a sentence, and left the wanderer on his hind feet.
On the road, Li Banruo had a serious face, driving a little absent-mindedly, his mind was full of Abin who suddenly integrated into his world, it seemed that this seemingly simple guy had a kind of magic, whenever he thought that after seeing Abin clearly, this guy became turbid, and after a long time of contact with Abin, he didn't feel familiar, but felt more strange.
Parking the car in front of the huge villa, as a frequent visitor to this villa, Li Banruo walked into this villa without hindrance, and asked the nanny who was cleaning in the hall, the woman who laughed the most and said to Li Banruo that the ninth master was in the study, Li Banruo nodded, and walked up the antique wooden staircase.
Walking all the way to the top floor, there was a somewhat huge mahogany door, giving people an extraordinarily deep feeling, and Li Banruo knocked on the door slightly.
After a while, he gently pushed the door and entered, the study was a little dim, but a table lamp was on, and the room was filled with a good smell of sandalwood.
Jiu Ye took off his glasses, put them on the mahogany desk, closed the book that looked a little simple and thick, and said, "Something's wrong?"
Li Panruo shook his head and told the story about Abin and Pan Dongzi to the ninth master, and after finishing speaking, he said meaningfully: "This Abin, where is it sacred." ”
The Ninth Master's expression was not surprised at all, although this was a particularly unbelievable story for Li Panruo, he held two extremely smooth walnuts in his hand and said, "Where do you think this Abin is sacred?"
"I can't understand it thoroughly, and I can't figure it out, so I came to ask the ninth master. Li Banruo said very sincerely.
"He's not a god, he's not a ghost, he's just a fallen man like you. Jiu Ye shook his head slightly and said, his voice was very deep, and he gave an answer that Li Panruo was not an answer.
Li Panruo still looked confused.
"Some answers need to be found by yourself, the answer I gave you, if it's not the answer you want, what's the point?" Jiu Ye put down the walnut and got up slowly, behind him was a majestic picture of eight horses, which set off his body with a bit of a sense of grandeur.
"Why, he would do these meaningless things, for an unknown woman who doesn't know whether it's good or bad, to offend Pan Dongzi, I know, he's not a fool, but what he did really made me confused. Li Panruo said very confused, it was the first time he had seen such a person, in this society, what everyone did was nothing more than that little profit, his own big or small ambition, but this outlier seemed to destroy the rules that Abin thought.
In this river and lake, you may be able to find another Li Panruo, but you can't find another Abin.
"If you know his past, you will understand that whatever he does now, you will not feel strange, but the past is too heavy. The ninth master sighed, Rao is to see a lot of hard-working people, his eyes are a little trembling, in this world there are always rich people who are richer, and the poor people always have more bitterness, for the rich, money is just a symbol, and for the poor, the bitterness is really painful into the bone marrow.
"What kind of past is that?" Li Panruo muttered, he really couldn't imagine that behind that smile as bright as the sun, there would be something hidden that even the Ninth Master described as extremely heavy.
Jiu Ye shook his head, looked at a few old books in front of the bookshelf and said, "You need to dig it yourself, but there are some things that really make me unhappy recently." ”
"What do you say?" Li Banruo's eyes slowly sharpened, as if a hungry wolf in the forest had stared at its prey.
"The guy called the mourning ghost has reappeared, which has made many people suffer, and some of my farms have also been implicated. The ninth master took out a book, beat the dust on the book, and said disapprovingly.
"Isn't he dead?" Li Banruo said with a shocked expression.
"But now it seems that this guy is still alive and well, and his style is more devastating than two years ago, just like a mad dog, no matter what the forces, as long as it gets a little black, he will bite, and now there are many forces that have begun to crusade against this powerful ghost, I can't help but express it. The Ninth Master put the book back in its place again, pulled out another one, and looked at it with relish.
"Ninth Master, leave this matter to me, since this guy wants to be a hero, then I will make him pay the price of being this so-called hero. Li Panruo agreed directly, without the slightest hesitation.
"This mourning ghost is not an ordinary character, be careful in everything, you control the entire wanderer in your hands, you don't need to do it yourself, it's best not to do it, no one knows if there will be an accident. The ninth master took this old book, sat down from the desk again, and naturally put on his glasses, everything was so breezy and bland.
Li Panruo nodded, wanting to say something more, but seeing that the Ninth Master had blended into the book again, he gently exited the room.
Driving back to the homeless, Li Banruo made a few phone calls in succession, and after making the last call, his mobile phone rang, and after seeing that it was the fifth child's call, Li Banruo answered the phone.
"Master Ban, the woman's identity has been found out. Lao Wu said on the other side of the phone, but his voice was a little complicated, and it was not a good thing for Li Banruo to be able to hear it.
Say. ”
"She has a history of drug abuse, has been arrested for gathering people to gamble, and seems to have defrauded her father's company of a large sum of money, and has an inseparable relationship with many big gentlemen. Lao Wu said in one breath, obviously this is not a good thing, but he is not too surprised, in this world, how can there be so many good people who grow naturally, after all, the soil is black from the very beginning.
Li Panruo's expression was very complicated, and finally turned gloomy, he just said coldly: "Don't tell Abin about this yet." ”
"I know. ”
"I'll be there in half an hour. Li Banruo hung up the phone, the sarcasm, in the heart of the sarcasm, even Li Banruo felt a little annoyed in his heart, not because of this woman who looked pitiful, but because he felt worthless for Abin.
The black Jaguar sent Abin back to the wanderer, and then walked away.
It wasn't until Abin left that Pan Dongzi, who was enduring the pain, poured the pill into his mouth, and then looked a little relieved and gasped for breath.
"It's all retribution. Pan Dongzi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, this is a sentence that he once thought was extremely ridiculous, but such a sentence, he would only feel extremely terrible.
Lao Xue's expression was still so calm, just looking at Pan Dongzi's appearance that life was worse than death, and there was a trace of awe in his heart for everything that happened in the dark, this secret and great everything.
"Although it was difficult to meet such a young man I liked, for me, a gambler, I lost. Pan Dongzi looked at the gradually changing scenery outside the window, this kind of scenery he had seen too much, and finally looked at the disgusting place.
"What else do you want? If you lose, you lose, but fortunately, you end up like this, otherwise those undead can't bear to close their eyes. Lao Xue didn't give Pan Dongzi any face, although he was a dying man, but Lao Xue didn't have the slightest mercy, he just felt a little sad, maybe it was the most decent way God gave Pan Dongzi to die, for Pan Dongzi, who was deeply sinful.
After hearing this, Pan Dongzi laughed and burst into tears, he touched the cold car window, as if his body was beginning to get colder, the scene outside the car window was a home, a broken home.
"Xuan'er is getting married, and she hasn't let me tell you, but thinking that at this juncture, I will hide it anymore, it will be too sad for you, an old man. Lao Xue looked through the rearview mirror and could see Pan Dongzi, whose face was slowly turning pale.
After hearing this, Pan Dongzi's expression was so calm, and he said in a low voice: "The man who wants to marry her is not upright in his backbone." ”
"He's a top student, a nice young man, and very polite. Lao Xue said.
"In these years, I don't know my heart. Pan Dongzi said weakly.
"If you let her hear that, don't want to see a smile on her face in this life. Lao Xue said to Pan Dongzi, who seemed to be stubborn.
Pan Dongzi laughed self-deprecatingly, he waved his hand weakly and said: "Thirteen years, she has never smiled at me, I know that she hates me more than anyone else, she is very much like her mother, very strong, very strong, she left home at the age of sixteen, and did not ask me for a penny....." Pan Dongzi recalled like a bad old man, maybe this is the only thing he recalled, the rest, except for gambling, or gambling, in the end, he still bet, but the bet lost.
Lao Xue listened to Pan Dongzi's memories like this, although in the end, Pan Dongzi was completely unable to speak.
"Where are you going?" asked Lao Xue.
"I want to go back to the past..."Pan Dongzi said with cloudy eyes, and his voice gradually became weaker.
Lao Xue sighed, this gambler finally gambled to the end, but this is too undignified for this gambler's final farewell.
Pan Dongzi ...... Dongzi .....," Lao Xue shouted.
There was no answer behind the car, Lao Xue stopped the car, opened the window and slowly lit a cigarette, his expression was very complicated, this most beautiful flower of desire in this city, the scene of the final withering was so bleak.
