Chapter 165: The Calm Before the Storm
Life is always very interesting, there is separation, there is separation, there is gathering, there is dispersion.
Two strangers from all over the world will come together and get together, is this the so-called fate and separation? But how long can this fate last?
"Is this your home?" 11 looked at the humble room, which contained two small beds, a dilapidated wardrobe full of holes, and a small table for dishes. There is not even a place to cook food, and there is no toilet or bathroom that every household should have.
On the way over, Ruan Qingyu introduced that she lived with her mother, and this house was rented, and it was less than 100 yuan a month. The house was originally quite large, but it was later divided into several small rooms by the owner and rented out separately, so that they could live in such a cheap house. You know, in today's era when every inch of land is at a premium, it is very rare to rent a place where the monthly rent is less than 100. Therefore, Ruan Qingyu is very content. She is a very optimistic girl and easily satisfied, which was already heard by 11 when she introduced herself.
The house is small but tidy, which shows that the owner is a very clean person. Ruan Qingyu patted a bed, beckoned 11 to sit down, and said, "Well, my mother and I live here." ā
The bed board was very shabby, and it was "creaking" when I sat on it, and 11 turned his head to look at her and asked, "Why don't you live in school?"
Ruan Qingyu stuck out her tongue and said, "It costs more than 1,000 a year to live in the cheapest bedroom, and my mother can't live with me." So I live with her, so I can save a lot of money a year. After a pause, she seemed to realize that it was rude not to pour water for a guest, and hurriedly asked 11 to pour a glass of water.
"No need. 11He stopped: "I am not thirsty." ā
Ruan Qingyu didn't insist, put the bowl he had just taken out back again, sat on another bed and asked, "Brother Chu, where are you from?"
11 said expressionlessly, "I don't know. As if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, he diverted from the conversation and asked, "What do you do when you eat?" and go to the toilet and take a bath?"
Ruan Qingyu smiled and said, "This place and next door were originally the same house. Later, it was used separately. But the kitchen and bathroom are shared, we have the kitchen room next door, and the bathroom next door, which is very convenient. ā
"Your family is so poor, why do you still study?"
"It's my mom who insisted. Ruan Qingyu reached out and hugged the guitar, gently plucking the guitar strings, the clear string sound echoed in the room, and she said softly: "Our family was originally okay." Later, my dad had cancer, and at the end of the stage, my mom wanted to treat my dad. Even the house was sold, and a lot of money was owed outside. But my dad was gone. I used to love music and wanted to go to the music department. After my dad left, I also wanted to go out to work to earn money, but my mom refused, no matter how hard and tired I was, she insisted that I go to college. I couldn't resist my mother, so I continued to study. I heard that it was easier to find a job in the Department of Literature, so I applied for the Department of Literature. After a pause, she smiled as if self-deprecating and asked, "Am I stupid?"
11 shook his head slightly. In a flat tone, he said, "You are strong. 11 People are rarely praised, it should be said that no one has ever been praised, and Ruan Qingyu is the first. Because she's really strong, at least 11 feel so.
Ruan Qingyu sighed and said, "Actually, my mother is really tired. I have to work three jobs a day. That's why I often go out to play and sing to earn some money, and I want to help my mother reduce her burden. Oh, by the way, Brother Chu, thank you so much for today's incident, otherwise I really don't know what to do. ā
He replied lightly, he didn't pay attention to the three gangsters at all, there were so many people who died in his hands that he couldn't even remember himself, how could he care about three more. However, Ruan Qingyu didn't know what happened to those three people, she always thought that this person who claimed to be Chu Yuan was just a good wanderer, and the unexpected road was uneven and helped her repel the three hooligans.
Still carrying the travel bag, 11 walked to the door and looked at the sky outside, it was almost late at night, and he said lightly, "I'm leaving." ā
Ruan Qingyu got up and asked, "Don't you sit down for a while?"
11 He did not answer, but showed by action, and he walked out of the door, and walked into the night without looking back.
Ruan Qingyu walked to the door, watched 11's back go farther and farther, and finally closed the door with a silent blessing for him in his heart. They were originally strangers, and they only met because of a farce, so why bother to keep them.
11When he walked out into the street, he turned around and looked at the dilapidated house behind him, picked up his backpack, and walked on. 11 walked on the street for a long time, until the early hours of the morning, when there were hardly a few pedestrians and vehicles in the street, and then skillfully pried open a car parked on the side of the road and drove away from the noisy city.
11. A total of five cars were changed on the road, and every time I encountered a toll booth, I would always get off the car and hide the car first, and then walk around, and then steal the car to continue to drive, and then drive all the way back to the capital after a big circle. When it was nearly dawn, he drove to the outskirts of the capital, and after disposing of the stolen vehicle, he walked to the direction of Dr. Mad Man's room with his backpack on his back.
It's still the depths of the woods, it's still the dilapidated houses. 11And he did not come here until the dawn of the day. He checked his surroundings to make sure there was no one before he lifted the tiles and went down the secret passage. 11 is a very cautious man, and he will not trust anyone, including the companions of the Dark Cross. When he was on the Yuehai, he knew how to check the travel bag that Leng Ye asked Zhang to hand over to him, but fortunately, there was no tracker or anything like that in it, otherwise he would be the first to settle accounts with Leng Ye.
The madman doctor was still fiddling with his real yĆ n, not even knowing that 11 was coming in. 11 And did not disturb him, but remained quietly as usual, waiting for him to finish the work at hand.
I don't know how long I waited, but it felt like I had a whole day. The madman finally lifted his head in the air and breathed a sigh of relief, then thumped his back. He was old, after all, and the silver on his head made him look even older, and such a huge workload took a toll on his body,11 and he even wondered if the madman doctor would one day suddenly fall to the ground halfway through the day, and hold his breath with a kick on both feet.
"Maniac. 11 called softly.
Dr. Mad turned his head to look at 11, frowned slightly, and said, "Why haven't you left yet?"
11 sighed darkly. Dr. Mad will always be a man with no sense of time. Without much to say, he took out a small tin can from his backpack and handed it over.
Dr. Maniac took the tin can and opened it, it contained a bottle in the shape of a test tube filled with blue liquid, Dr. Maniac unscrewed the cap and sniffed, frowning, "What is this?"
"Invisible medicine. ā
This is indeed the invisible medicine,11 found it in Kayoko's clothes, and at that time he took out a total of two bottles, and one bottle of Kayoko was used. A bottle was given to the cold night. And Leng Ye and the monkey didn't know that there were actually three bottles of this invisible medicine, and this was the third bottle. I was secretly hidden by 11. After 11 spending, replace the bottle of the Invisibility Potion. It was put into a shockproof tin can, along with the bottles and jars containing the potion. Without knowing it, Leng Ye left the invisible medicine with 11 along with those potions.
"Invisible medicine?" Dr. Mad was stunned, "What invisible medicine?"
11 After briefly talking about the effects of the invisibility potion, Dr. Mad Man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to turn around and study the invisibility potion, and even forgot to ask about the information.
"Maniac. ā
Dr. Maniac was already in research mode, and didn't hear 11 calling him.
11 walked into the warehouse, put his travel bag inside, and left empty-handed with only a mobile phone that was soaked in seawater and could no longer be used.
Come out of the real yĆ n room. It was already dusk outside, and 11 had unknowingly spent the whole day in Dr. Mah's room. He walked a long way before he stopped a taxi, and the taxi driver looked at him with some puzzled eyes. 11His clothes have not been changed. The head is still lumpy and looks a little scruffy. 11 ignored the driver's strange gaze. Got into the car directly and reported the address, and then the driver drove him suspiciously all the way to the base camp of the Dark Cross. 11The address reported to him is the villa area, although it is not as good as the luxury villa where Wen Qiang and Ouyang Yue'er live, but at least it is also a villa, not something that ordinary people can buy. That villa was originally a private house for Cold Night, and was later donated as a base camp for the Dark Cross.
After the taxi drove outside the villa, 11 got out of the car and said lightly, "Wait for me for a while." Then he walked out the door without looking back and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang for a while, but no one came out to open the door, and under the driver's increasingly puzzled gaze, 11 blocked his vision with his body, took out the master key he carried with him, and quickly opened the door and walked in. He went to his room, took out a stack of bills, and paid the fare, which was the only way to beat the suspicious driver. However, when the driver left, he still looked at him from the rearview mirror from time to time, and he may still wonder if he was burglarizing?
11After returning to the house, he poured a glass of water, and then used the fixed satellite phone to dial the frenzy phone, and just two rings, the hoarse voice of the frenzy came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey. ā
"It's me. ā
"Chu Yuan, when did you come back?"
"Just arrived. 11 A ** sat on the sand next to him and asked, "What about the cold night and the monkeys?"
"They were called in from above and were discussing the ownership of the hackers. ā
11 pouted, he had long known that it would not be so easy to pull this group of hackers, and the national government would definitely not let go of this group of network elites. So 11 hate to cooperate with the government, as long as it is a good thing, it will be a piece of the pie, and they weak people can't object to anything, after all, they are people under the roof and have to bow their heads. However, he is not worried, after all, the Dark Cross is not a vegetarian, and the above will not break with them when the Dark Cross is still of great use, so they are still very sure to get back this batch of hackers, otherwise Leng Ye would not have blatantly borrowed Zhang Zhiguo's power to smuggle back to China.
11 took a sip of water and asked, "How's the information?"
"One copy was sold to Han Guo. The retainer money has been received. One was taken away in the cold night as a condition for bargaining codes. ā
"I need one. ā
"I know, it's already carved for Cold Night. ā
Answered lightly.
"That's right. The frenzy said, "Why did you get off the boat halfway?"
11 "Hmm" as an answer.
Frenzy knew 11's temper, and if he didn't want to say anything, it would be fruitless to ask, so he said, "Do you want to inform them of Cold Night?"
"No, you don't. ā
"By the way, there seems to be movement on the Chen family's side recently, you have to be careful. ā
"Got it. 11 said lightly: "I hang." ā
"Good. ā
11 Hang up the phone. Drink all the water in the cup in one go, gently put the cup down and get up and walk into the pantry. There are two special cabinets in the storage room, one of which is open and hung inside with various types of firearms, as well as grenades and various types of bullets. In the other cabinet, there are all kinds of mobile phones, from hundreds of thousands of high-end mobile phones to hundreds of low-end mobile phones, and even the original Big Brother simulator.
The cold night is a little perverted, and it should be said that everyone in the dark cross is perverted, and they obviously don't use their mobile phones. I like to collect a lot of mobile phones, and the stock of mobile phones in this cabinet is enough to open a mobile phone store.
11. Take out a mobile phone at random and replace the card in your mobile phone. The phone can no longer be used if it is soaked in water, but the card can still be used. As soon as he turned it on. Immediately received three more text messages, all of which were message messages from Zhang Xinxin.
11 just wanted to turn off the phone, but after thinking about it, he still dialed Zhang Xinxin's phone. As soon as the phone rang, the other end couldn't wait to pick it up, and Zhang Xinxin's voice immediately came from the phone: "Brother Chu Yuan, you finally turned on." ā
11And he said, What is the matter?"
"You...... You don't remember?"
"What?"
"It's Wednesday. ā
"Oh. ā
Zhang Xinxin seemed to have an aggrieved voice, and reminded in a low voice: "Today is my birthday." ā
Said lightly: "Happy birthday." ā
"You...... I ......" Zhang Xinxin sighed. In a helpless tone, he said, "Are you free today?"
"Nope. ā
"But didn't we say yes? I want to invite you to our house for dinner. ā
"I didn't say yes. ā
"How can you be like this, you don't talk a word. ā
11. Walk into your room. He took a random set of clothes from the closet and said, "I didn't say that." ā
"You...... I don't care. You must come today. My dad and mom took a special leave of absence, and they cooked a table of good dishes and waited for you to come. ā
11 took clean clothes and went into the bathroom, and said, "Let's talk about it." ā
"No, what do you mean by saying it again? I don't care, you must come, or I'll be angry." ā
"Oh. ā
"You...... I won't tell you!Mom!Mom......" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xinxin and Chu Fan's voices were muttering quietly. A moment later, Chu Fan's voice came from the phone: "Chu Yuan." ā
"Hmm. ā
"Is there something wrong with you?"
11 was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's all right. ā
"Then can you come over?" Auntie made a lot of dishes today, and besides, I haven't had a chance to talk to you since I came back last time, so let's get together today, how about it?"
What a strange term. 11 stood in front of the mirror, looked at the mirror with his phone, and was silent for a while before saying, "Okay then." ā
Chu Fan smiled: "Okay, we'll wait for you, come early." ā
Hang up the phone, throw your phone aside, go into the bathtub, unscrew the faucet, and rinse your body directly with water, regardless of whether it is cold or hot water flowing out of it.
The tiredness of that body, the salty smell of that body can be washed away with water, but it can never be washed away, and the blood of that body. He didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Fan's family, because he was destined to be a person from two worlds, and his life was destined to roll in the sea of blood. But fate is often like this, the more you want to escape, the more you can't escape, I don't know if he owes the Chu family, or the Chu family owes him, he always has to be entangled.
After taking a shower happily, 11 came out with a change of clean clothes, and neither Leng Ye nor the monkey had returned. He habitually put on his spider wrist, picked up two pistols and looked at them, and finally tossed them aside, carrying only the swarthy dagger by his side, and then locking the door with enough cash.
There were several cars in the courtyard of the villa, and 11 picked one at random, drove out of the villa area, and drove in the direction of Zhang Xinxin's home.
Night has fallen, and the road ahead is uncertain. The Chen family has begun to move, and the battle with the "devil" has not ended, as well as the person who made 11 move to kill.
A qiÄ is just the calm before the storm.
