31. Chapter XVII
The blue van drove slowly in the suburbs, not close to the road, and by the time they reached the house they remembered, it was already slightly dark.
Lao Chen stopped the car, he shook out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked Liu Dajian: "What should I do?" ”
Liu Dajian smashed the smell of cigarette in his mouth, and when he thought about it, he was unstoppable, and when he was really about to do it, he flinched a little. He turned over and took out the courier box he had prepared, and thought about the 15,000 yuan red bill promised by the landlord. He twitched the eye from Lao Chen's mouth and threw it out of the window.
"Let's go!" Liu Dajian opened the car door and walked out, standing in front of the strange and familiar door. He took out his phone, found the number he had found in logistics, and dialed it.
The phone vibrated slightly, and it was pressed under the pillow and ignored in the empty room. But it was the small sound that woke up the blood ball, and his eyes widened as he slept on the couch. He stepped forward and took out his mobile phone under the sofa pillow, looked at the unfamiliar number on it, and looked pensive.
Who is it?
Yan Xi left in a hurry, but before leaving, he gave him the mobile phone he had been using, saying that if there was anything serious, he could call him? And entered his mobile phone number into this mobile phone.
Xuetuanzi has been watching it on his mobile phone for a day, and he has memorized the number after reading it once, and he has already memorized the number deeply in his mind. He had been holding his phone, looking forward to it ringing, and he could see the familiar number on the caller ID. It's just that it's quiet all day, and it's a bit annoying to be quiet.
It turned out to be ringing now, and it showed an unfamiliar number.
Xuetuanzi thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he connected to his mobile phone.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Yan Xi?"
It was really not his father's voice on the other side of the phone, Xuetuanzi's eyes drooped, his throat moved slightly, he opened his mouth, and the voice that came out was Yan Xi's voice and tone: "Yes." ”
The person on the other side of the phone really didn't notice: "Oh, hello, we are expressing, here is your piece, it has arrived at the door, please come out and get it, okay?" ”
Express delivery......
"Oh, I'm not at home right now, you can just leave it at the door, I'll take it in when I get back." Xuetuanzi had a cold and beautiful face, and learned Yan Xi's demeanor and attitude ten out of ten.
The person on the other side was stunned for more than ten seconds, as if he didn't expect this reaction.
“…… Forehead... All right... Remember to pick up the pieces! ”
"Okay."
The blood ball hung up the phone with a snap, he listened attentively, and there were really two more people outside, holding a box in their hands, as if they were delivering a courier.
At this time, he couldn't wait to open the address book of his mobile phone, and when he saw the number entered by Yan Xi in the morning, he kept hesitating and tangling with his finger on the connect button.
Is it okay to call my dad for this reason?
The snow group here is hesitating, and Lao Chen and Liu Dajian outside are also in a dilemma. Today, they have come over thousands of miles away, will they just return like this?
The sky in the suburbs is already in a blue-gray state, and I believe that it will be dark in another ten minutes. Liu Dajian stepped back and saw the room in this house that was darker than the night.
He licked his lips, feeling that his addiction to smoking was a little offended, he looked at Lao Chen, who stretched his neck to look inside, gritted his teeth, and said, "Why don't we go over the wall!" ”
Lao Chen's eyelids jumped in fright. The nature of this circumvention of the wall and taking a photo is not the same.
Liu Dajian also felt that this behavior was a bit out of line, but he thought about it, no one in this family is at home now, there is no monitoring here, and he does not steal anything, at most he can find two photos. Even if it's a photo, he doesn't take it away, can't he take a picture with his mobile phone?
He didn't want to spend half a day running in vain.
Most men are strong-blooded and bold, especially at his age, so he told Lao Chen what he thought.
Hearing his thoughts, Lao Chen's stretched head on the side came back again, and he stood in place for a long time without speaking, looking like a quail who wanted to do it but didn't dare to do it. Even if Liu Dajian couldn't see his face clearly in the darker and darker night, he could guess his expression at the moment, his eyes and eyebrows must have drooped deeply again, and the folds overlapped, a bitter and hateful look.
Liu Dajian suppressed his anxiety, and mentioned the child he was thinking about, so he could be considered to convince this man who was scheming. Then the two of them discussed the course of action, and then drove the big blue truck to the back of the house to hide their whereabouts, and stood on the cart, easily climbing over the fence.
At this time, the blood ball that was standing in the room and was engrossed in the mobile phone was woken up by a hissing sound, and the little white snake crawled up to him, swallowing his tongue, and Huang Zhan looked at him with snake eyes.
Blood Tuanzi reached out and touched the little white snake's head, and replied to him briskly with two strange tones.
The little white snake seemed to understand and left quickly.
Liu Dajian and Lao Chen jumped into the courtyard, although it was in the suburbs and there was no one in the house, but because what they did was too disgraceful, they still subconsciously slowed down their pace, gently pushed open the door, and sneakily walked in.
At this time, in the process of Liu Dajian and Lao Chen's discussion, the sky was already dark, and only the faint reflection of the moon gave a little light to the night. And the inside of the house is even more black and hollow. Liu Dajian instantly remembered the content of the landlord's post inappropriately, the weird father and son or something, and ...... Snake!
Thinking of what kind of cold reptile, Liu Dajian's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't believe the strange god that the landlord said. But according to the description of the landlord's post, the father and son are likely to be a snake lover, and it is not a joke to be accidentally bitten! I went, I was thinking about money before I came here, why didn't I think about bringing some realgar or something.
Thinking of this, Liu Dajian couldn't help but pause.
"What's wrong?" Lao Chen asked softly.
Liu Dajian hesitated: "Or, let's turn on the lights!" ”
Lao Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head: "No." ”
"What if this family comes back and sees the lights?" Lao Chen said softly, dispelling Liu Dajian's thoughts.
"Okay!" Liu Dajian was helpless, but after coming into the house for a while, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the room, and he could roughly see the furnishings in the room, not as dark as just now, Liu Dajian thought about it, took out his mobile phone, and looked around his feet with the help of the tiny light on the mobile phone screen. He was relieved to see that there were no snakes.
Then the mobile phone light, the two continued to walk forward tentatively. Probably because of the psychological effect, secretly, Liu Dajian always felt that there were a lot of snakes staring at him with bad intentions, he moved the light of the mobile phone uneasily and looked left and right, and suddenly, a white shadow flashed in front of him very quickly.
Someone!
Liu Dajian reacted very quickly and turned off his mobile phone, subconsciously holding his breath, and Lao Chen on the side also stopped meaningfully, and the room suddenly became quiet.
"Did you see that?" After a long time, Liu Dajian pulled Lao Chen and asked softly.
"What?" Lao Chen was at a loss.
"There was a shadow ...... just now," Liu Dajian said halfway through, he recalled the glimpse in his mind just now, and frowned, the white figure was very small, and it flashed in front of him, and the speed was incredible. Could it be a cat?
"What's wrong," Lao Chen asked suspiciously.
Liu Dajian swallowed his saliva, a little irritable, he was silent for a while, but still insisted on his thoughts: "Let's continue to move forward." With that, he subconsciously stepped forward. However, the soles of his feet were soft, and the slippery feeling through the soles of his shoes could not disappear, Liu Dajian was shocked, and before he could react, his ankle was a pain!
"Damn!" Liu Dajian let out a low curse, reflexively raised his foot, and heard the sound of snakes crawling in his ears, Liu Dajian leaned on the wall on the side in fright, turned on his mobile phone in a panic and quickly, and illuminated the floor with the light of his mobile phone.
The lights came out, and a white tail dived into the darkness.
"Snake!" Lao Chen exclaimed in an overwhelmed voice, and hurriedly helped Liu Dajian: "You were bitten by a snake." ”
"Yes." Liu Dajian replied unwillingly, in the face of life and death, he didn't care if he would be discovered, and hurriedly shone the light of his mobile phone on his wound.
After biting for only two or three seconds, Liu Dajian didn't feel any discomfort except for the pain, but the bitten wound on his ankle was already slightly red and swollen, and the blood was also oozing slightly, and it seemed that the bite was very deep.
"!" It seems to be a poisonous one, and now, Liu Dajian didn't have the heart to think about his bonus at all, so he quickly stood up and was about to go home. Lao Chen helped him walk back, and halfway through. Liu Dajian's footsteps suddenly stopped.
In this wilderness, it takes an hour or two to drive to the city, and if you are a poisonous one, you will not die in the middle of the road.
Liu Dajian continued to walk back, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. I thought to myself, I must count the hospital fee when I go back and let the landlord pay for it. But who knows if there is such a fate!
"!" Extremely angry, Liu Dajian couldn't help but be angry, "What kind of snake spirit father and son is this!" Raising snakes doesn't mean that you can't just let snakes out! The landlord is right, they just have a problem, they are not murderers, they are monsters, they are not normal people, ......"
Liu Dajian cursed in a low voice, Lao Chen didn't care, he also felt a little like a poisonous snake, worried about snake venom, he helped Liu Dajian's body, quickly returned the same way, and came to the door.
A subtle snapping sound sounded, but neither Lao Chen nor Liu Dajian heard it. When Lao Chen arrived at the door, he put Liu Dajian aside and pulled the door, but he couldn't open it.
After trying this several times, Liu Dajian, who was scolding, came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
And as he asked, behind them, from far and near, the hiss of the snakes gradually resounded throughout the room, making it impossible to ignore, and in the darkness, it seemed that it had become a nest of snakes.
Lao Chen and Liu Dajian both swallowed their saliva, turned their heads stiffly, and saw that the moonlight outside the window was on the floor, and under the moonlight, the darker and darker shadows, the child that Lao Chen had been thinking about stood not far from them, his delicate face revealed a gloom, staring at them, hoarse voice, and asked softly, "You... What are you talking about? ”
And around the children, they were densely packed with snakes, all of them staring at them with cold snake eyes like children. One of them, the largest of the snakes, thicker than their waists, stared at them from the high ceiling, hissing and spitting out its forked tongue.
Cold sweat flowed, and their bodies immediately stiffened.
Not far from the urban area, Yan Xi, who was still tirelessly watching the video of the operation, received a call from Xuetuanzi.
