Chapter IV
Wu Yuzhen saw that Rong Ziyi did not have a worried look on his face, and obviously did not take Rong Zixiao's safety to heart, but was just looking at the surrounding buildings and discerning the direction, and he became suspicious in his heart, could it be that they secretly arranged for other people to follow, otherwise with the feelings between their brothers, how could they not be in a hurry at all?
At this moment, there was a sudden cheerful car bell, but it was not who Rong Zixiao was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He rode his bike through the thick night fog with a relaxed expression and was unscathed.
Wu Yuzhen stepped forward to take a closer look at his son, and saw that he only had a loose neckline and sleeves, except for a slightly ruddy complexion, he was no different from Fang Cai.
Rong Ziyi looked at his watch, shook his head with a smile and said, "Seven people, two and a half minutes." ”
Rong Zixiao was quite unconvinced: "What's the matter? Have you been too long? ”
Rong Ziyi said half-jokingly: "It can only be regarded as passing." Your wife is so tired that she worries in vain, shouldn't you save more time? ”
"You're so confident in me?" Rong Zixiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wu Yuzhen relieved her mind slightly, she didn't understand what kind of dumb riddles the two brothers were playing back and forth, and was about to ask, but she heard Rong Ziyi say: "Don't say those useless." I think we should have reached our destination. ”
At this time, the sun had completely set, the moon had not yet risen, and only a few stars were scattered on the canopy. There are no street lights here, and Rong Ziyi and Zixiao have turned on their flashlights, and these two rays of light constitute the only light source. The night fog was shrouded, and from time to time there was a strange cry of a tired bird returning late in the air, and the surroundings were very quiet, and in the dark shadows, there always seemed to be an unknowable danger.
Wu Yuzhen seemed to be a little cold, and couldn't help but clasp her arms with her hands. Rong Zixiao approached her mother and reached out to support her. Wu Yuzhen smiled: "I'm fine." ”
Rong Ziyi shook an iron door in the corner with a flashlight, and said, "It should be here." ”
He knocked on the door. It was quiet, without a trace of light, and there seemed to be no one. He knocked a few more times, and the knock on the door was heard far away in the darkness.
Finally, the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps was heard from far and near. Slowly, a little light came through the crack in the door. An old voice asked through the door, "Who?" ”
Rong Ziyi and Zixiao glanced at each other before saying, "We're here to find someone." I don't know if the old man can open the door. ”
"Who are you?" The voice asked again, but the door remained locked.
"The surname is Rong." Rong Ziyi replied.
There was a sudden silence in the door, and the voice seemed to disappear. Wu Yuzhen and the three of them looked at each other, I don't know what the reason is, could it be that this sentence is wrong?
Just when Rong Ziyi wanted to ask again, the door bolt rang a few times, and then a crack opened in the door, and a head full of white hair poked out from inside.
The man held a wax head in one hand and a candle flame in the other, for fear that the wind would extinguish it. Rong Ziyi was afraid that it would be rude to shine the flashlight on people's faces, so he was busy only pointing the light on the ground. Although the light flickered and dimmed, only illuminating half of the old man's face, it could still be seen that he was sixty or seventy years old, and his face was wrinkled like walnuts, but his eyes were still clear.
The old man squinted his eyes, held a candle, and took a careful look at Wu Yuzhen and the others, looking at them from head to toe, before he said slowly: "I don't know anyone surnamed Rong." After that, he was about to close the door: "You have found the wrong person." ”
Rong Zixiao's eyes were quick, he stretched out his hand to pin the door, and said with a smile: "Uncle, we came from afar, at least let us go in and beg for saliva to drink?" ”
Rong Zixiao didn't let him close the door, the old man wanted to be angry, but when he saw Rong Zixiao smiling, he was very kind, and he always stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and he was not good at attacking, so he still said in a slow tone: "The world is not peaceful." Nowadays, don't look at the oily and slippery on the surface, who knows what is inside? Let you in, what if it's a robber? ”
He said it in a very difficult way. Wu Yuzhen is a quick temper, although she doesn't have to deal with an old man, but she has something in her heart, and seeing that he is so unreasonable, she can't help but show anxiety on her face.
Rong Ziyi sneered: "Your old man lives here, are you still afraid that the robbers will not succeed?" ”
The old man glared: "What's wrong with living here?" You young man is too unpleasant. You don't know what to do, you think that this area is inhabited by some homeless bandits, but this is all forced by the world. But where there is a way to live, who wants to take this road? Besides, even though I'm old, I haven't been bullied by them! The old man was a little angry, but what he said was reasonable and confident.
Rong Zixiao was afraid that he would be in a hurry and it would be difficult to end it, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, we are not bad people. Coming from afar today, there is indeed a very important thing. With that, he put two silver dollars in the old man's hand.
"If you're visiting, why don't you choose to visit during the day? How can there be a reason to go to someone's door when it's dark. The old man took the money, and his words were no longer so polite.
"It's really a delay on the road. The old man let us in, and we will explain it to the old man in detail. Rong Zixiao said with a smile: "There are so many of us blocking the door, and it's not good for the neighbors to see it." ”
The old man snorted coldly, "Don't worry. We all take care of our own business here, and we don't bother with other people's hearts. He added: "It's not that I don't let you in, it's just that I'm a person who looks at the house for others, and I don't know you when you come to the door for the first time, and I let you in, and I'm afraid that the master will blame you." ”
"The master is not there?" Rong Zixiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Is your master's surname Shen?" When will he be back? ”
In Rong Bin's letter, the name of the warehouse custodian given was Shen. Both Ziyi and Zixiao brothers speculated that this person should have nothing to do with the Boss Shen who his father paid him, maybe it was the same person.
The old man nodded, and the expression on his face did not change at all: "It is surnamed Shen." As for when I'll be back, I think tomorrow will be the earliest. ”
Rong Zixiao was disappointed in his heart and couldn't help but look at his eldest brother. Rong Ziyi suddenly asked: "Then I don't know the old uncle's surname?" ”
The old man snorted: "I'm a nobody, what's the matter." It's just that, I want to ask, you came to find Boss Shen, so does he recognize you? ”
Rong Zixiao was a little hesitant. Let's say they don't know each other, how can the three of them have a reason to come to the door rashly? Do you want to lie and say that you know? It's just that once you meet with Boss Shen, it will inevitably be exposed. Could it be that today is reckless, why do you have to come for nothing?
Rong Ziyi said truthfully: "I don't know." My father and Boss Shen are old acquaintances, and we are entrusted by him. ”
When the old man heard him say this, he groaned for a moment, and instead said, "I see that you are quite frank. Boss Shen is here, but since you have come all the way, come in and drink saliva before leaving. With that, he opened the door and let the three of them in.
