Chapter 79: The Decree of the Head of the House
The one who opened the door was a man of five big and three thick, very burly, and there was a trace of light between his eyebrows, and the skin on his body that was in contact with the air had scars, and at a glance he knew that he was a battle-hardened character.
However, when he saw that it was Mai Xiaolong, he couldn't help frowning, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he asked lightly, "Who are you?" Which one are you looking for? ”
There were two other people in the room, and when they heard the strangeness in their companion's tone, they immediately stood up as well, and at the same time assumed a posture that could attack at any moment.
Mai Xiaolong couldn't help waving his hand and said with a smile, "It was Shao Meiqian who asked me to get something." ”
The man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. If it's okay, please leave. ”
Mai Xiaolong thought for a moment, and then said, "That Hidden Village, you should always know, right?" ”
Yinyi Village is the name of the village where Mak Xiaolong used to be, and it is also the goal of their group. Hearing Mai Xiaolong say this, the doubt in that person's eyes dissipated, and he nodded, "Then you come in!" ”
After Mai Xiaolong entered the room, he found that the three people were not ready to hand over the things to him at all, but inadvertently formed a zigzag shape, and unknowingly surrounded him.
"What are you going to do?" Mai Xiaolong shouted in a deep voice.
"Even if you can name Yinyi Village, it doesn't mean that you are Miss Shao's person. Miss Shao has ordered, this matter is very important, so I'm sorry, please forgive us for being cautious. You stand still and don't move, I'll contact Miss Shao, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind to you. The man said with a blank face.
Mai Xiaolong nodded, in fact, these people did this, but it made Mai Xiaolong feel very satisfied.
The middle-aged man was also relieved when he saw Mai Xiaolong standing in place, spreading out his hands to signal that he would not move, and then grabbed the phone. The phone was connected quickly, and I didn't know what Shao Meiqian said on the phone, so I saw that the middle-aged man looked at Mai Xiaolong strangely, and finally nodded.
After hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man showed a smile to Mai Xiaolong, "It turned out to be Mr. Mai, Miss Shao said just now that we can hand over things to Mr. Mai, and the moment we hand over the things, our task will be completed." ”
Mai Xiaolong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded, "It's been really hard for you along the way. ”
"It's not hard, we use people's money to do things for people, this is a natural thing." The middle-aged man said.
Mai Xiaolong only then knew that Shao Meiqian had used some people, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking in his heart that she could think of it - the mercenary Mai Xiaolong also knew that most of the members were retired special soldiers, and they had always been very secretive, and most of them carried out some special tasks, which was very credible.
However, if you want to use a mercenary army, it will cost you a huge price, just to send one thing, this Shao Meiqian is inevitably a bit of a fuss!
"Then give it to me!" Mai Xiaolong smiled and stretched out his hand.
But the big man shook his head, "I'm sorry, we have one last mission before we give it to you." ”
"And a mission?" Mak Xiaolong was a little puzzled. Things have already been shipped, and Mai Xiaolong is also standing in front of them, shouldn't it be directly delivered now and then split up, no longer in contact with each other, and never know each other from now on?
What else is there to not complete?
The big man nodded solemnly, "This task was just temporarily released by Miss Shao. ”
Then he said to the two companions next to him, "Catch him for me!" ”
Seeing that Mai Xiaolong was also Shao Meiqian's person, and the task was about to be completed, the two of them relaxed their spirits, and now the big man shouted, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then rushed towards Mai Xiaolong without hesitation.
In terms of skill, where Mai Xiaolong was their opponent, he was immediately pressed to the ground by them.
Mak Xiaolong couldn't help but be shocked, he said, "What are you going to do? ”
The big man walked in front of Mai Xiaolong at this time, looked at him condescendingly, and smiled faintly, "The task that Miss Shao just released is to squash you severely, and it will be done without beating you to death." Give it to me! ”
Mai Xiaolong immediately let out a miserable scream.
After a few moments, the men finally stopped, and McAlong's head was beaten into a pig's head.
"Shao Meiqian, labor and management will part ways with you from now on, and they will not stand on the other side!" He shouted in dismay.
At this time, a lockbox was placed in front of Mai Xiaolong, and the big man said, "Now that the task has been solved, then you can inspect the goods now, can you see if this is it?" With that, he opened the lockbox.
Mai Xiaolong grinned and got up from the ground, don't look at the bruises and purples on his body, in fact, these mercenaries all kept their hands, but they just made him suffer a little bit of flesh and skin.
They knew that it was probably this kid who made Miss Shao unhappy somewhere, so they would let them beat him hard, and they naturally couldn't beat him to death.
Otherwise, with the skills of these mercenaries, a single punch can make Mai Xiaolong fall to the ground and completely lose the ability to resist.
The lockbox contained a book, a book with yellowed pages.
This is Mai Xiaolong's ancestral ancient book! Mai Xiaolong couldn't help but solemnly take it out and hold it in his hand.
Don't look at Mai Xiaolong's usual demeanor, but in the face of the Mai family's ancestral treasure, he didn't dare to slack off, whether it was his expression or actions, he was full of respect.
After turning the page and reading a few more chapters, Mai Xiaolong nodded, carefully put the book into his arms, and then smiled, "Thank you so much, this is it." ”
But soon he discovered that there were other things in the lockbox besides the ancient book.
It was bottles the size of a palm, filled with various powders, a token, and a letter under the sign.
Mai Xiaolong picked up the token and looked at it for a long time, always feeling very familiar, and finally suddenly realized - this thing is not the black wooden block that has been placed under the offering table all the year round!
The offering table of Mai Xiaolong's family is three legs, and this token was used by his grandfather to pad the table legs!
I remember that once Mai Xiaolong and his friends were at home, because they lacked something to make a fire, so they secretly took this token, and then burned it as firewood, and finally found that this piece of wood could not be burned at all.
For this reason, his grandfather was so angry that he was almost beaten out of his.
