When I got home in the evening, I took off my human skin mask and sat on the sofa to rest.

Looking at this watch on my wrist, I had mixed feelings. The old man's past, the grievances between Wu Da and his master, the actions of the Bird Gate, and the insidious cunning of the human heart...... Thinking about it, I fell asleep on the couch.

When I woke up, I was woken up by the ringing of my mobile phone.

Swallow?

I picked up the phone in surprise: "Swallow?

"Where are you, Xiaofeng? I found an excuse to sneak out. “

"Ahh

"Okay, then I'll go to you now, and we'll see you at the bubble tea shop near your house. “

"Okay, I'll go out now. “

Not long after arriving at the bubble tea shop, the swallow came. She looked a little anxious, and her face turned red.

"What's wrong, Swallow? What's going on?"

"Xiao Feng, I only have an hour, and I have to hurry back in a while!" Yanzi said breathlessly.

"Okay, don't worry, you can drink saliva first. “

Yanzi picked up the water cup and swallowed it with a clatter: "Mom, I'm dying of thirst, today I discovered a big secret, it turns out that Uncle Dong is ......" Yanzi said halfway, covered his mouth, and looked around.

"It turns out that Dong Bo used to be in the same door as Master!" the swallow lowered her voice and leaned into my ear.

"What!!" I was so shocked that I almost didn't lift the table!

"Uncle Dong is the master's apprentice?"

Yanzi shook his head: "That shouldn't be, the master should have three apprentices, two men and one woman, just like that Meng San'er said." It's just that I don't know what role Dong Bo plays in the master's sect. “

"How did you find out?" I asked, curious.

"I was packing up at home today, and when I saw a photo album, I took it out with great interest. It's full of old photos from Dong Bo's past, but when I flipped through it, I actually saw Master!"

"Huh?" I was so shocked that my jaw was about to drop, and my mouth was open.

"It's true, that photo should be years old, the master still looks like a hairy boy, very young! And then there is an elderly man with gray hair in the photo, it is estimated that it is the master, and Wu Da and a little girl!"

I nodded, and what Meng San'er said was correct.

"The most amazing thing is that Dong Bo is also in the photo, standing next to the master, looking very statused!"

"What?" I thought was even more strange now.

"What is the relationship between Uncle Dong and Master?"

"It's hard to say, Uncle Dong looks younger than his master, but he is older than those apprentices, and it shouldn't be easy to stand by the old man's side. “

"Oh......" I thought in my heart, if Uncle Dong and the old man and the master are in the same faction, then Wu Da should not support him, he must hate Uncle Dong to the core. But now he supports Uncle Dong as his own father, there must be a story in this!

"Did you ask Dongbo?"

Yanzi shook his head: "I asked, but you also know the situation of Dong Bo, where can he answer, he was very excited when he saw the photo, dancing like a child, whining in his mouth, but he couldn't tell any facts." “

"I think there must be other clues in Dong Bo's house, Yanzi, you might as well rummage through it in the past two days to see if you can find anything." ”

"Good. ”

"But be sure to pay attention to safety, Wu Da is a sinister and cunning person, and if he finds out, you will be in trouble. ”

"Don't worry, I'm just here to tell you, this matter is not simple, let's keep an eye on it!"

"Hmm. ”

After saying goodbye to the swallows, I walked home along the street.

The streets are not crowded at night, this area belongs to the old town, many people have moved away, it is quiet, only a few orange street lamps give a quiet light.

The world is unpredictable, I always thought that Uncle Dong was a person from Wu Da, but I never expected him to be so friendly with Master and Master.

No wonder Master gave me a phone call and specifically instructed four words: "Be kind to Uncle Dong." ”

Early the next morning, the call from the agent came.

"Sir, how are you thinking about it?"

"Oh, you're talking about the Jiuqu House. “

"Yes, the owner wants to communicate with you for the past two days, and this is about to be the middle of the month. “

It seems that I have frightened Wu Da bald them...... Bird Gate thought that a big pie had fallen from the sky and smashed it on his head!

"Okay, let's meet again this afternoon!"

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment for you. “

In the afternoon, I stepped into the big mansion of the Bird Gate with a face that the rich second generation could not look at.

Today, there is only Wu Da, and the bald head and horizontal meat don't know where to go.

"Sir, what kind of business do you have? It's rare to see so many people in your family these days. I asked, feigning curiosity.

"Hehe, it's nothing, ancestral craftsmanship, small business. “

"Oh......" I rolled my eyes in my heart, this Wu Da really dared to say that what the master taught was not a pit and abduction, but the right way in the world!

"Then these helpers of yours usually live in this courtyard, who is responsible for the food expenses or something?"

Wu Da glanced at me: "Little brother, these don't seem to have anything to do with buying a house, right?"

"Ah...... Haha, that's that, I'm just curious to ask, I don't care about the food and accommodation of workers in so many factories at home, and they live together. "I interrupted, it seems that Wu Da has been very cautious recently.

"How did you discuss it with your family?" Wu Da asked.

"Actually, it's quite simple, I'm married, I'm the only son in the family, and all the good things are mine, but my dad thinks it's a bit outrageous that you offer this price!" I said with a frown.

"Hahahaha! That's a pity, this house is my lifeline, for a living, if I sell it, I will sell it, it's a big deal that I will go down to the ancestors and scold me and beat me, but the price is not in place, I am sorry for the people under my hands now." “

I spread my hands: "Then old man, you mean you can't talk about it?"

Wu laughed and said nothing.

"Alas, well, although I have some money in my hands, but such a big expenditure is still my father's nod, then we won't have a chance to see each other again!"

I got up to leave, and then I came in through the door.

"Ah, the little brother is here!"

"Yo, bald brother, I didn't see you today!"

"I'm a little busy, I'm busy!" I noticed that the bald head and Wu Da secretly exchanged glances.

I understood this in an instant...... Fish, hooked!

They treated me like a rich second generation with a lot of money and stupidity, and they didn't plan to sell me the house at all!

"How's it going? Have you negotiated a price with our boss?"

I shook my head: "No, it seems that I have no fate with this house! “

After saying that, I was about to go out the door, and the bald head grabbed me.

"Oh brother, business is not benevolent, we can be regarded as fateful acquaintance, why do we want to leave?"

I stopped, looking at the bald head, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"That'...... What does Big Brother mean?"

"Let's have a meal together, it's going to be dinner soon, you don't have to be so raw when you get acquainted!"

I turned my head to look at Wu Da, and he nodded with a smile.

"Young man, you still have a good eye, you have an acquaintance, let's eat here tonight. “

"Yo, that's really troublesome for the two of you! I'd better obey my fate if I'm respectful!"

I stayed, and the bald head told his horses to prepare dinner, and the yard was finally a little popular.

For more than an hour waiting for dinner, the bald head cooperated with Wu Da and asked me a lot of questions, basically about my family's background, what kind of business I do, where my ancestral home is, and how many assets I have.

I knew it in my heart, tried my best to answer, and set myself up with a "lack of heart" character.

"Boss, the meal is ready, it's in the hall. A stunned young man came in and said to the bald head.

"Okay, then please!" said the bald head to me with a gesture of please.

I walked to the hall and saw that the table was full of dishes, and the standard was almost as high as the Manchu and Han banquets.

"It's too much trouble for you!" I said politely.

"Wherever it is, it's all coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it, little brother. “

After sitting down, I was about to move my chopsticks when the door of the Bird's Gate Mansion suddenly opened!

Twisting his face, it's Dong Bo!

I saw that his face was covered with water, the vest on his body was also soaked, his two eyes were wide, he looked at the hall in horror, and shouted in his mouth: "Wu Da, you can't do this, you can't do this! You let Wu Da go, he is just confused for a while!"

"Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong!" followed by Yanzi, who looked very flustered and ran fast.

"What's going on?" Wu Da angrily threw his chopsticks on the table and stood up to stop Dongbo.

"Master, don't be angry! I'll go. The bald head got up and stopped Dong Bo with a few young men, and said to Yanzi angrily: "What do you think?

Yanzi didn't recognize me, and when he saw a guest in the hall, he said apologetically: "I'm doing laundry, and I didn't pay attention to Dong Bo and opened the door and ran out by himself, I'm really embarrassed!"

Yanzi bowed and apologized again and again, and pulled Dong Bo back.

What do those words mean, and what kind of old stories are hidden?
