Chapter XI
It is obvious in small villages and big cities that this land will not make you feel lonely in life, on the contrary, it will increase the noise on your eardrums and heart, and Zuo An has always been very picky about this environment, so he would rather live in isolation, although he has the financial resources to build a private castle of his own in this precious place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 By the way, you can also draw a lawn with a radius of 10 kilometers in the left heart, but a city is a city after all, and the noise in the distance spreads in all directions through the air with great patience.
It's nighttime, and you'll see colorful food with a variety of cooking methods, dazzling lights, and a variety of entertainment venues. It is filled with warmth that emanates from human affection.
It was also the first time for Zuo Xin to come to such a big city, and the colorful glass doors around her were enough to make her feel dizzy.
Their target is a teahouse called Yujiage, which at this time, should be some sixty or seventy old men who spit Beijing films, here has always been a fair price, suitable for you can enjoy even if you don't have a retirement salary, all the tea sets are left from the era of the Republic of China or above, the meaning of opening this teahouse is to eat and have nothing to do, there is no other explanation. There is also an explanation, that is, the owner of this place has a rental space, and the person who rents this place generously pays my rent here, the only condition is that everything here remains the same, even in the case of soaring prices, the rise of each pot of tea shall not exceed two yuan, even if the rent he pays once a year is enough to buy forty or fifty square meters here every year, but he has no intention of buying it at all.
They walked through a dark hallway, with only dim yellow light bulbs glowing from the wings. The bare wires were exposed without the slightest disguise.
The two sides of the corridor are decorated with old-fashioned pear blossom wood, which must have been a long time, and the paint is almost peeling off, and only the remaining ones are attached to the pitted wood. The people here didn't think to redecorate it, for example, by tearing it down and replacing it with cheap and beautiful wallpaper. After walking for a long time, the smell of agarwood chips inside makes people's minds heavy. Out of the dark category, a lobby in front of it suddenly opened up, looking at the decoration should belong to the scope of the private room, there are independent spaces scattered around, but there are very few people inside, it is better to say that there are just two of them now, a little girl in her twenties who hastily tied up her hair is lying in front of the computer to play the landlord, and she doesn't care much about the guests, and the whole person is wandering in a state that seems to be about to be fired by the boss at any time.
Zuo An knocked on the countertop, and Zuo Xin saw the dust on the countertop shake a few times, and thought: The boss here is really generous.
Among the stacks of paper on the countertop, I picked out a plum blossom card, looked at it with my left heart, and it was no different, and I could buy a pile of it for ten yuan.
Zuo An wrote his name on it. Then he said please.
The little girl raised her head and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose. The appearance is very delicate. Carefully picked up the card, walked to the elevator on the side, opened the door, and walked in.
After a while, the little girl came out of the elevator and asked, "Do you need me to show you the way?" ”
Zuo An shook his head, "I can do it myself." ”
Zuo Xin followed Zuo An into the elevator, and after Zuo An closed the door, he didn't press any button, but pushed the entire area of the button inside. At that moment, the entire elevator wall on the left retracted to the side, making way for a space inside. It's another corridor. Zuo An walked in with Zuo Xin, and the elevator door closed again the moment they came out. It was as if it was blocking their way out. It makes the left heart feel very uneasy. I had to speed up my pace.
Passed through an electronic door, though it was indistinguishable from the wall. The door seemed to be a dividing line, and when you took a step forward, you were immediately surrounded by a soft light. It was a very wide corridor, on both sides were ceiling-high partition cabinets, which were filled with all kinds of cups, even the lowest floor was full of enamel, crystal, glass, all kinds of colors intertwined, all the way to a far, far away, with the light of the crystal lamp, reflecting the dreamy feeling. Zuo An told her to stay here and not go anywhere, while he walked to the opposite door.
Zuo Xin stood on tiptoe and watched, every cup was spotless, and every detail was impeccable. This makes the left heart, which is naturally crazy about beautiful things, and is simply obsessed.
At this moment, Zuo An came out and let Zuo Xin in. Zuo Xin asked if the talks were ready. Zuo An wanted to speak and stopped.
"He told you to go inside. He's a bit weird, but don't be afraid. ”
The large space inside is even more terrifying, illuminated by slender candles, the bright light makes the space less dim, and the arched dome is decorated with blue, pink, and yellow stones in simple patterns. The walls around it were covered with swords. The ancient color suddenly pulls time far away. There was a long desk in front of it, perhaps a dining table would be more appropriate, for it was indeed a little longer and wider than a normal desk, and a man was sitting in front of it, but his body was sunk in the shadows, and only a vague outline could be seen. There are two opposing sets of sofas in front. This owner should be very picky about the environment, and the illiterate person of the left heart can also see that the sofa legs are worth a lot of money.
But Zuo Xin didn't understand that this was supposed to be an adult's occasion, so why did she call her in, a minor. The left heart is not yet used to talking about things with adults. I always feel that life is far away from me, at least wait for another three or four years. So he looked at Zuo An with some confusion.
Zuo An squeezed her hand and said softly, "Go to him." Don't be afraid. ”
Zuo Xin, with the intention of not understanding his squeeze of his hand, slowly stepped forward, the surroundings were too comfortable, and the sound of calfskin boots hitting the ground seemed a little abrupt. There is a long distance between them, which is a little embarrassing, but there is always a moment when they are finished.
From a table's distance, Zuo Xin still couldn't see his face clearly, as his face was hidden under the huge hood. Only a beautiful chin is exposed. Let Zuo Xin not be able to tell whether he is a man or a woman, but he should be very tall, because even if he is sitting, his eyes are about the same height as himself.
"Reach out." The sound of a fever of forty-two degrees made Zuo Xin coldly startled. But he still stretched out his hand. The coldness of his fingertips seemed to be able to reach human blood and bones, and for a moment the left side of his heart felt like he was being immersed in ice water. His hand made contact with himself for only a few seconds. Then, the silhouette of the body faded back into darkness.
Zuo Xin walked out, still immersed in his strange demeanor. The night had already fallen, and the lights were on, and there were many more people than in the daytime. It is full of youthful atmosphere. "What did you call me in for?"
"It's him." Zuo An put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead, "He's a strange person, it's not unusual to do anything." ”
Left Heart: "Oh. With a sigh, his eyes were drawn to the surrounding shops.
Zuo An recalled a previous conversation. Participate in the action with the left heart as a group. The only condition offered by Gisekin is not mentioned. I don't know what he was thinking about doing this.
"Left Heart, where is your mother now."
Zuo Xin's gaze was retracted by this sentence. Biting her lower lip, "She should have moved somewhere else." I don't know. ”
Zuo An didn't care, "I want to visit her another day." Do you think you can. ”
Zuo Xin knew that he was not in terms of etiquette, but wanted to investigate the source of his bloodline. And he didn't want to see his mother again. Zuo An sank into his thoughts at this time. I didn't notice any change in my left heart's mood. It's just that Zuo Xin no longer feels that this place makes her have any thoughts of excitement. This continued until the inn. Zuo An just told Zuo Xin not to go out, and then he went out by himself. By ten o'clock the next morning still not returned. Let Zuo Xin feel that even in such a prosperous city, there is a person who makes you feel lonely so easily.
recalled a sentence that Jin Boshan mentioned to himself. "He's a ** embryo, and he always has been."
This made Zuo Xin worry like a little daughter-in-law.
"Where did the address come from?" After Zuo An settled Zuo Xin, he hurried to meet Watina. The surrounding shops had been lit up, and the addresses she had given herself were interspersed among them, some of the residential houses that coexisted with them.
"My friend found it. It's safe. "It's still a bit of a walk from there, so Vatina can use this time to ask some questions, "Do you suspect that her father is related to the Bing Clan?" ”
"Her pedigree doesn't come for no reason. She said her father, a gambler, left her five years ago. But she didn't realize that there was something in her bones that was not given to her by a gambler's father. ”
Vutina found the house number 361, which was carved in metal, flanked by coffee bread and a shop selling handicrafts, the upper floors were used for people, the rent here was moderate, the town here was more shabby, the fawn skin gloves kept her fingers warm, but staying outside for a long time at night made the tip of her nose a little red, and there were some slight droplets of water on the woolen collar, "This is it." Watina knocked on the door and explained to Zuo An, "This is an active rental house, and it is paid once a year. ”
After waiting for a long time, and didn't wait for someone to open the door, Zuo An tried the handle, leaned slightly sideways as a cover, unscrewed the doorknob raw, and brought it in his pocket.
The lights in the hallway are on. Zuo An communicated with Vatina with his eyes, and motioned for her to stay down and go up to have a look by herself.
Five minutes later, Zoan asked Potina to go up.
After Vatina went up, she saw Zuo An staring at a pot of daffodils on the table, "There are still people moving here for a few hours." ”
Vatina looked around, and sure enough, there was no one, everything in the room was haphazard, and there was no trace of destruction or haste. The windows are also closed well, there is no possibility of leaving when they hear their voices, and even if there is that possibility, Zuo An has the ability to arrest him back, so there is only one last explanation left that he has not returned. It was ten o'clock now, close to the time of his return.
"I'll wait for him in the café below, and you'll be on top of this."
"Are you sure the person who helped you find the news can be trusted." Zuo An replied to the question. ”
Vatina thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.
"I just looked inside the living room," Zuo An walked to the kitchen window to see the lights in the back, "and all his personal belongings were taken away." ”
