Chapter 371: The Gambler (17)
We decided to find someone who knew Silly Qiang to set some clues, and this person was undoubtedly the black god called by the Jianghu people - Wu Yi. However, things didn't go as smoothly as we expected, and by the time we went to find Wu Yi at the address shown on the information, the house had already changed hands. When I asked the family, they just shook their heads and couldn't tell me. It's already difficult to get started, which inevitably teaches us a little frustration.
We walked out of the balcony with our heads down, and the streets were full of people. Maybe I lowered my head and didn't look at the road much, so I bumped into an old woman. I was startled and hurried to help her up, apologizing desperately. The old woman stood up slowly, complaining in a somewhat angry tone: "I said you little girl, how can you walk like you have lost your mind, walk well, now there are many cars on the street, and a ......person who accidentally lost his life is confused" I patted the dust on the hem of my pants for the old woman, and kept saying sorry in my mouth. Brother Yang and Bai Xuanzhi next to me also helped me out of the siege one after another, carefully supporting the old woman, and also calming the old woman's angry mood with kind words. The old woman looked at us and nodded silently. She didn't scold me much, but told me to be careful next time and stop walking recklessly. I nodded in response.
"Hey, you're pretty face-stricken, are you looking for someone in this building? I've lived here for decades, and there's no one in this building that I don't know. The old woman whispered, perhaps she had just seen us coming out of this building, so she couldn't help but ask for a moment.
After Bai Xuanzhi heard this, he nodded lightly with a smile on his face, "Actually, it is the first time we have come here, and we still came according to the address given by others, looking for a person named Wu Yi, who knew that the house would change hands when we went to it." Mother-in-law, do you know a person named Wu Yi?" Bai Xuanzhi asked politely
As soon as the old woman heard Bai Xuanzhi's words, her face changed greatly, her face looked a little surprised, she glanced at us over and over again, pondered for a while, as if she hesitated for a long time, showing a look of embarrassment, she suddenly came over and whispered to us: "I advise you, don't look for this person again." When the old woman had said this, her eyes looked around warily, and she was relieved when she saw that there was no suspicious person.
Seeing her look so flustered, I was even more sure that she knew something, maybe she knew Wu Yi. "Mother-in-law, do you know this person?" I couldn't wait to ask, "We have something to find this person, if you know where he is, please tell us, please, we really have something urgent to find him." "I deliberately spoke eagerly, with the expression of Emperor Jiji on my face. When the old woman heard this name, she shook her head slightly, her expression was quite frightened, maybe she couldn't bear the entanglement of the three of us, she finally relented, and said loosely: "That person is not a good person, you go to him, I am afraid that you will be sold by him and don't know, he used to be, but he lost his conscience, did all the bad things, and did all the business to live people's lives, you look for him, and he thinks his life is long?"
"Mother-in-law, just tell us, we are looking for him for a matter of life. It's urgent, please. "I don't know where I got the idea, so I deliberately exaggerated it in order to let my mother-in-law tell us Wu Yi's whereabouts. Although I was a little reluctant to go, in order to find Wu Yi, I could only say big things with my conscience, hoping that my mother-in-law could understand my suffering. I looked at the old woman's face, and she seemed to feel a little bit about what I was saying, and a sympathetic look appeared on her face.
She looked at us, her lips twitched slightly, as if she had something to say to us, but she didn't say it, just narrowed her eyes, hesitated for a long time, and sighed softly. My eyes lit up, and I engaged in a new round of entanglement with her, probably because I couldn't resist our persistence, and she finally told us the truth she knew.
"This Wu Yi, the old people in this neighborhood all know him, and he didn't dare to sleep at night when he harassed him. He is that person, who has done a lot of murder and arson, and he is fierce when he talks, and he will beat anyone when he sees something unpleasant, and the people in this building will turn around and walk away when they see him. How dare you meet him face to eye. However, just a few years ago, I heard that he was bankrupt, and he had some mental problems, and he was crazy all day long, saying that someone wanted to harm him, and even he sold the house and went to the street. What is this called, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, it's not that the time has not come for not repaying, and now his present life is coming, and he has to repay his debts. I advise you not to get too close to this kind of person, and be careful of getting into bad luck. In the end, the old woman did not forget to persuade us to be careful of people like Wu Yi, and we nodded in response, very grateful to the old woman for providing useful clues. The East Street overpass is not very far from here, and it can be reached in about ten minutes.
After exchanging a few words with the old woman, we searched all the way along the path of East Street. To tell the truth, I saw the homeless people all over the street, who were on the ground in a decadent place, maybe they were bored with life and felt hopeless. What kind of experience can make a normal person become such a languishing appearance, living is equal to dying, and sometimes, living in the world is more painful than dying.
We walked all the way and found no trace of Wu Yi. In order to see the homeless people sleeping with their heads covered, we deliberately lifted their shelters to take a closer look, of course, after cursing a lot, some of them were short-tempered and stood up directly, and wanted to fight with us viciously. In this case, we can only avoid it, spread our legs and slip away. Although there were always bursts of curses behind him, it was much better than being beaten by the fists of this group of loveless homeless people. Being scolded doesn't hurt or itch, but being beaten is not the same thing, and I'm afraid they won't give up if they don't have a blue nose and swollen face.
After running a distance, we stopped to catch our breath and rest for a while. I looked at Brother Yang and said, "It's not a way for us to go on like this, and if we don't find Wu Yi at that time, we will be killed by this group of homeless people." There are so many of them that we will definitely not be able to eat and walk around when the time comes. And we don't have that much energy to run. I adjusted my pounding heart and took a few deep breaths before I was relieved. Brother Yang was also a little out of breath at this time, he waved his hand at us, paused for a while, and said intermittently: "I...... Agree with you...... Parlance. Go on like this...... We have to ...... You can't die of exhaustion. "Brother Yang and I looked at Bai Xuanzhi together, this guy didn't have anything to do, he was calm, where did he look like a person who ran for his life?
