Chapter 9: The Man Who Glows Red
Early the next morning, Brother Qiao dragged Jiao Zuoren, who had not yet woken up, from the bed, and the two were ready to set off.
Yesterday's Lexus LS was parked in front of the hotel, but the driver who picked them up yesterday was not in the car.
Brother Qiao opened the door of the driver's seat and looked at Jiao Zuoren, who saw the car yesterday and deliberately searched for the price, was looking at the car in a daze. "Gone, what's the fuss?"
"This car is so expensive, people will drive it away for you? Rich... Uh, no, people are really rich," Jiao Zuoren almost slipped out again.
"Oh, his isn't mine, Huo Huo will be done, it's a big deal to be cleaned up by him when we meet" Brother Qiao didn't fully understand the meaning of Jiao Zuoren's words.
Obviously, Jiao Zuoren misunderstood "he" as "she", and by the way, mistook "tidying" for some kind of indescribable operation.
"Don't grind, hurry up and sit tight" Brother Qiao looked at Jiao Zuoren's sympathetic and pitiful expression, he was very puzzled, but he didn't bother to ask, so he started the car.
Soon Jiao Zuoren understood why Brother Qiao asked him to sit tight, the distance from Tokyo to Mount Fuji was about ninety kilometers, and it only took less than ten minutes. But in the eyes of Jiaozuo people, it may be more than half a year.
The car stopped outside a quaint mansion, Brother Qiao got out of the car, lit a cigarette leisurely, and looked at Jiao Zuoren.
"Hey, I'll make up... Vomit, big brother, this is in the city, are you in a hurry to see the rich woman? , I'm scared to death" Jiao Zuoren held on to the car door, the bow was spitting there, and the luxurious buffet eaten in the hotel in the morning was estimated to be nothing left.
"Alright, don't bother. Didn't you tell you to sit tight when you left?" Brother Qiao spread his hands, with helplessness on his face. After saying that, he dragged Jiao Zuoren to the old house.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Jiao Zuoren's eyes widened, this house not only looks very old from the outside, but even the architectural style in the courtyard is also a strong Showa painting style.
Jiao Zuoren just wanted to complain about the rich woman that Brother Qiao was looking for, but when he was afraid that he was not an old lady, he saw two big men and a man in black kimono behind the big man walking towards him, and immediately shut his mouth.
The two bodyguards separated, and the man in the kimono stepped forward, and with an authentic deep bow, Jiao Zuoren was so frightened that he took a step back.
"Long time no see, Mr. Qiao, how much money are you going to take this time" Although the man in the kimono was smiling, he smiled very reluctantly in Jiao Zuoren's eyes.
"Ahem, who's here to get the money, I'm here to look for that old thing, and he's still in it?" Feeling Jiao Zuoren's strange eyes, Brother Qiao hurriedly coughed twice and said righteously.
The man bowed again, as if relieved, "Yes, Lord Longzu, you are still cultivating quietly in the mountains, and you have told us not to disturb you."
"Eh, Saito, don't do this with me, take me to him" Brother Qiao held a cigarette in his right hand, patted the man's shoulder with his left hand, and said with a big grin.
"Yes"
Jiao Zuoren was very confused by the conversation between Brother Qiao and this man named Saito, didn't he come to find a rich woman? What the hell is Lord Longzu? Although he was full of doubts, Jiao Zuoren still followed the two honestly.
There was a not-so-wide path in the backyard of the house, and the three of them walked along the path without feeling much at first, until they entered a dark stone cave.
"Mr. Qiao, I'll send you here, you, it's better to go in by yourself" Saito bowed deeply again, with embarrassment on his face.
"Let's go" Brother Qiao nodded, motioning for Jiao Zuoren to follow.
The more he walked inside, the more Jiaozuo felt that the heat was abnormal, as if he had entered a steam room, but his strong self-healing ability still allowed him to barely hold on.
"Oh my God, where is this? Why is it so hot, I'm almost ripe" Jiao Zuoren, who was sweating profusely, looked at Brother Qiao, who looked normal, and couldn't help but complain.
"Well, it should be about one-third of the belly of Mount Fuji now, I can't go forward, and I'll have to be too hot to go again" Brother Qiao lit a cigarette, put it to his mouth and took a puff, glancing at Jiao Zuoren.
Before Jiao Zuoren could react to the fact that he had unknowingly entered the depths of Mount Fuji, he heard Brother Qiao tear open his throat and start shouting.
"Oh yes, old bug! If you don't come out, I'm going to die of heat! You can't get out! If I don't come out, I'll ask that kid from Saito for money! “
Before Jiao Zuoren, who wanted to block his ears to prevent his ears from being deafened by Brother Qiao, could cover his ears, another deep voice came from the depths of the stone cave.
"Qiao Sanba, you TM is really a three-eight, it's a bunch of bullshit when I see you"
Jiao Zuoren looked into the dim cave and saw a human figure wrapped in red light coming out of the hole.
The red light gradually dissipated, and the man spoke again, "Hey, Qiao Sanba, what are you doing this time?" Running out of money again? The man laughed and punched Brother Qiao on the shoulder.
"How many times have I told you? Don't call me my full name? Do I have to do it with you? Brother Qiao gritted his teeth, jumping out of the root of his teeth word by word, looking very angry.
"Ya, you still call me an old bug, I didn't say anything"
"Fart, that's because you can't beat me"
Knowing that his mouth cannon would never be the opponent of the man in front of him, the man rolled his eyes, so he glanced at Jiao Zuoren.
"Who is this guy?"
Jiao Zuoren was still surprised at this time, and the man had just walked out, and it was a red, scale-like thing that gradually disappeared on his body.
"Oh, this kid is Jiaozuoren" Brother Qiao took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, with a trace of indescribable emotion in his eyes.
