Chapter Seventy-One: A Chance Encounter on the Street
The first time I regretted choosing to take the bus was now—based on Su Bei's personality, she was naturally full of curiosity and admiration for the old lady who had been a "medium". This is nothing, but there are so many passengers on the bus, and Su Bei is not a person who can talk softly, let alone a person who will consciously shut up.
In the strange eyes and chattering questions all the way, I got out of the car as if I was running away.
"It's the first time I've been here, and I didn't expect there to be such an old housing area in the suburbs!" Su Bei sighed, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and handed it over, "Shan, help me take a picture!" ”
I was patient and accompanied her to walk and shoot, and finally came to the door of Du's house.
"Don't make such a fuss later!" I warned.
"Okay, okay, I promise you won't let me speak, never say more!"
To my surprise, it was Xiaohu who came to open the door.
"Didn't you go to class today?"
"It's early for summer vacation!" Xiaohu ran towards the yard and shouted, "Grandma, Sister Shanshan is here again!" ”
I'm full of black lines, why do I have to say "again", this kid!
"Old lady!"
"Hello old lady, I'm Su Bei, just call me Beibei!" Su Bei walked past me and took the initiative to come forward to say hello. I shook my head helplessly, and the "guarantee" before entering the door was really empty talk.
The old lady glanced at Su Bei and raised a kind smile, and when she looked at me again, there was a trace of worry in her eyes.
"Sister of the Lin family, how are things going?"
I took out the brocade box and handed it over: "You can help me see if it is safe for the time being!" ”
The old lady put it on her knees, rubbed her hands on the brocade box, and after a while, she said with relief: "This is the seal of the Xia family?" ”
I glanced at Su Bei, and some words were inconvenient for her to say because she was present. And she will be mistaken and make a "zipper" gesture to indicate that she will not interject. I smiled helplessly, forget it, the more some people avoid, the more curious she becomes.
"Hmmm! You must already know about the wooden box last time! Seeing the old lady nodding, I continued: "Although I suspect that Elder Li has something to hide, no matter what happened back then, I need to ...... Take a trip! ”
"Are you sure?" The old lady looked at me worriedly.
"Hmm!" I nodded firmly, "You said that escape is not the way to go, no matter what happens, I should be more positive about it!" ”
The old lady closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and muttered, "That's fine! It's a pity that I'm too old to accompany you on this trip...... Otherwise, let Chen'er accompany you! ”
"No! …… I know you didn't want him to be involved! This thing is too dangerous, I can't avoid it, I don't want to affect others! ”
"But you are a girl's ......," said the old lady with a heavy sigh, "as far as your current ability is concerned, if there is really any problem in that place, you cannot deal with it alone!" ”
"I just want to get rid of it as soon as possible, if I can't get rid of it, that's my life!"
The old lady touched my head with pity and said with emotion: "Silly girl! ”
I smiled reluctantly: "By the way, I have one more thing I want to tell you!" At this moment, I really cared about Su Bei on the side, but I couldn't help but say, "Old lady, I dreamed of a woman related to flowers in the past two days, and I saw her. Although the brass bell rang at that time, she ...... It should be personal! ”
"You're saying Brass Bell is a warning to this man?"
"Hmm!"
"Is there anything else wrong?"
I was puzzled and said, "She's a florist owner, and she has an unusual scent on her, but I'm sure it's not a floral smell, it's a smell...... I think it's a little ...... Disturbed! ”
The old lady frowned slightly, and suggested, "You might as well take Chen'er and go and get in touch with her!" ”
I wondered a little in my heart, usually the old lady was eager to protect the calf, and she didn't seem to be very happy for Xue Chen to participate in these things, why was she so "positive" today? I didn't want to ask too much, and left the Du family with the more "abnormal" Su Bei.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
Su Bei pointed to her mouth, crossed her two index fingers, and asked me for help with her eyes.
"You can talk!"
"Let me accompany you!" Su Bei blurted out.
I looked at her confused, and she said in a pleading tone, "I didn't speak just now, you see I'm doing so well, you can take me with you!" ”
"Where are you going?" I looked at her warily.
Su Bei suddenly learned to be obedient, looking at the residents coming and going on the road, she approached me and whispered: "I heard everything you said, it's so fun...... No, you're going to take me with you for such a dangerous thing! ”
I was completely speechless!
"Hey, Shan, wait for me! Think about it, I'll listen to your ......"
At noon, I went to the store to help, and Su Bei naturally went together. As long as there are no guests, she will grind and bubble all kinds of soft and hard bubbles, alas, I really regret not blocking her!
"Shan, your phone is ringing!" Xiao Ting reminded.
"You pick it up for me, I'll move this box to the back!"
"Hello, Lin Shan has something to do, wait a minute!"
Xiao Ting saw me coming back from the warehouse and handed over the phone. I glanced at the caller ID, and it turned out to be Li Hao - "Li Hao, is there something wrong?" ”
"Let's talk when we meet!"
I asked uncertainly, "You got it?" ”
“…… Well! ”
I made an appointment with Li Hao in a nearby teahouse box, and when I got out of the mall, I realized that it was raining lightly outside. Looking at the gloomy sky, my heart became more and more uneasy - what was the truth that Li Lao was hiding?
The teahouse is not far from the mall, and while the rain is still light, I want to just run over. I trotted all the way, and when I saw the door of the teahouse, a copper bell suddenly rang in my ears. I froze there and saw her walking towards me with an umbrella - "You are Miss Lin who came to my store last time to buy potted plants?" Don't have an umbrella with you? Yulan stopped beside me and moved the umbrella towards me.
"Who are you?" I asked.
Yulan smiled slightly: "I'm the owner of Jiaolan Flower Shop, we met yesterday!" ”
"Yes! I still have something to do, so let's go first! I dropped these words and quickened my pace and ran to the teahouse. I stood in front of the door of the teahouse, looked back, and she also looked at me sideways, smiled at me, and turned away.
I couldn't help but think of the scene in my dream, and my heart became more and more anxious. After entering the hall of the teahouse, I waited for a while before Li Hao hurried over.
"I'm sorry, rush hour, traffic jam on the road!"
I handed over the half-pack of tissues in my hand: "Wipe it!" It's getting raining outside! ”
"Hmmm! Let's go inside! ”
I followed Li Hao to the box on the second floor that he had booked, and the rain hit the glass window, crackling and annoying.
At first, neither of us spoke, until the waiter had finished serving tea and exiting, and I asked, "Old man, ...... Are you okay? ”
Li Hao looked at me, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "It's okay!" ”
