Fourteenth: Late-night visitors
The people soon dispersed, Xu Erye arranged everyone's own room, and I also returned to my original room on the second floor.
The noodles were delivered quickly, and Second Master Xu really cooked a big fried sauce noodles for me personally.
Just after two times of water hand-rolled dough, and then with freshly fried meat sauce, cucumber shreds, shredded radish, plus a few pieces of garlic, the fragrance is no exaggeration, straight out of the two miles!
But although I said I was hungry, I couldn't eat at all, so after a few bites, I put down my chopsticks and set the bowl aside.
I walked to the window and pushed it open, the September wind was still a little cold, but I didn't care at all, and let the cool breeze blow on my face.
Perhaps, I think this will help me calm down a little bit and figure out things that I couldn't figure out before.
I looked out the window for a moment, then lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. And just as I was about to close the window and go back to the house for a good night's sleep, suddenly I found that there was one more person in the yard at some point.
A guy dressed in shabby black, with a hat, holding a spirit flag in his left hand and a bamboo whistle in his right hand.
When I saw this person, I couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly exclaimed, "Isn't this the guy I saw in my dream?" How did he end up in One Yuan Zhai? How did he get in? What exactly does he want to do? ”
I was going to shout "Who are you?" What do you want? ”
But just as I was about to make a sound, the guy suddenly raised his hand, put his index finger to his mouth, and made a silent gesture to me.
Then, slowly, he raised his head. However, because the hat on this guy's head was so big, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I could barely see this guy's mouth.
I saw that this guy opened his big mouth and smiled at me, revealing a mouth full of charred teeth, which was disgusting and weird.
The guy laughed for a moment, and his lips suddenly began to move slowly, as if he were talking, but he didn't make a sound.
I was on the second floor, and the guy was in the courtyard on the first floor, not too far away, but not too close, and it took me a lot of effort to understand what the guy was trying to say.
"Sixty years ago...... Your Hu family...... Debts owed...... It's time to ...... It's time to pay it back...... The descendants of the Hu family...... Are you ready......" I followed the shape of the man's mouth and read out what he had said little by little.
"What? The debt owed by the Hu family sixty years ago? I muttered to myself in amazement. Back then, what happened after the Lower Eight Gates collectively entered Songtao Mountain? Who is he? What debt to collect? Whose debt is it again? ”
Countless thoughts rushed into my mind for a moment, causing me to hesitate for a moment, but it was only a matter of seconds.
And when I came back to my senses, I suddenly found that the man in black who was standing in the middle of the courtyard had disappeared at some point.
I was shocked and screamed, "Damn! Where are the people? ”
I rushed downstairs as I was amazed, but when I ran to the location of the guy just now, the surroundings were already empty, and there were still any people in black, only gusts of cold wind blowing.
And just then, the phone in my pants pocket suddenly "dinged" twice.
I took out my phone and looked at it, and it turned out to be a text message.
I glanced at the number from which the text message came, and I didn't recognize it. However, the content of the text message made me gasp, and I saw five words written on the phone screen at this time, "The game has begun!" ”
"!" I looked at the words on my phone and couldn't help but curse. "You want to play with Lao Tzu, don't you? That's good, Lao Tzu will play with you to the end. ”
And with such an episode, I didn't feel much sleepiness in the first place, and all of a sudden there was no trace of it.
"Since I can't sleep, then I won't sleep at all, and I may be able to find some new clues in this night's time." With this in mind, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ran back to his room, took the confidential file and re-read it.
Time passed quickly, there was no word all night, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.
"Dangdangdang", someone knocked on my door a few times, I looked up, it turned out to be Hua Muling, she didn't know when she was standing not far in front of me.
Hua Muling looked at me and asked with a smile, "You haven't slept all night?" ”
I nodded, and found that Hua Muling's eyes were also soaked with bloodshots, so I asked rhetorically, "You haven't slept all night?" ”
Hua Muling also nodded and said, "Hmm! There are so many things in my heart that I can't sleep! ”
After speaking, Hua Muling took two steps forward, saw the scattered documents on the table, and continued, "Are there any new clues?" ”
I shook my head, lit a cigarette and said slowly, "No! Not at all! I still can't figure out what happened back then. Oh yes......"
I wanted to tell Hua Muling about what happened last night, but I don't know why, but I didn't say it in the end.
Hua Muling looked at me and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? ”
I shook my head and said, "No...... It's nothing? I just suddenly thought of something, and then I forgot what I was going to say. ”
Hua Muling smiled: "You may be too tired. ”
I looked at Hua Muling and said, "By the way, did you have anything to do with me so early?" ”
Hua Muling said: "Nothing! It was Second Master Xu who asked me to call you. He had breakfast arranged for us, and the equipment we needed would be delivered later, so he told us to go down for breakfast. ”
I nodded and said, "yes, got it." I'll get up and pack up at once, and I'll come. ”
Hua Muling nodded and turned to leave, but just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, then turned around and opened her mouth, as if she had something to say to me.
"What's wrong? Anything else? I looked at Hua Muling's speechless appearance and asked.
Hua Muling smiled slightly, then shook her head and said, "No...... It's nothing! ”
I smiled along and said, "That's good! You go down first! I'll be right away. ”
Hua Muling nodded, then turned around and went downstairs.
I looked at Hua Muling's back, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "When this girl is not fierce, to be honest, she is still very good-looking." ”
Such an idea suddenly popped up in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing, laughing at myself: "Hu Tian, Hu Tian, when the fuck is this, you still have the heart to count other girls." You're big! ”
I cursed myself, let out a long sigh, and then got up and walked straight to the bathroom.
When I finished washing up and went downstairs, breakfast had already been placed on the table, don't you say, there are really a lot of samples, what fruit soy milk, pancake tofu brain, bun pie, fried liver noodles......
Xiong Ming grabbed three fritters and chewed them heavily, while Hua Muling drank soy milk in small sips, looking like he had no appetite.
When Xiong Ming saw me going downstairs, he greeted me loudly: "Hu Tian, come quickly!" I'll tell you about this breakfast arranged by Uncle Xu, it's amazing! Especially this big fruit, just fried, 100% full of oil, fragrant and crispy, twice authentic! And this fried liver, I'll go, that's called a fragrant! I guess it's the one in the Drum Tower...... What's it called......"
I glanced at Xiong Ming and said, "Yao Ji! ”
Xiong Ming had a suddenly realized expression on his face, and said loudly: "Yes, yes! It's Yao Ji fried liver! I'll tell you, how many years have I not eaten at their house. I didn't expect the smell to have changed at all. Uncle Xu is really interesting, he arranged so many delicious foods for us this morning. ”
I grabbed two buns and stuffed them into my mouth, chewed them a few times, and then said, "Okay, don't be here to sigh, I think about eating all day long, can I still have something serious in my head." With this effort, let's sum up what we should do next! ”
Hua Muling took a sip of soy milk and said slowly: "Hu Tian is right. I always feel that this matter is not so simple, that person made such a big move, it should not just be as simple as letting us go into Songtao Mountain to get the Fountain of Youth. ”
Xiong understood the two of us and said disdainfully: "What's the use of thinking so much!" In the end, don't you still have to take one step at a time? Since we are useful to him now, that is to say, the older generation is still safe for the time being, and since they are safe, then which guy wants to play any tricks Lao Tzu is accompanied! What is it called? It's called ......"
"This is called having wine today and getting drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow!" Xiong Ming was halfway through his words when he was suddenly interrupted by a person.
Hearing this voice, we couldn't help but look at the door, and found that the person who spoke was none other than Second Master Xu.
Xu Erye is an old smoking gun, and he basically smokes on weekdays, but at this time he took out a bag of red and black Chinese, took one out of it, lit it, took a big puff, and then continued: "Little Bear's mentality is actually right!" In the art of war, this is called the constant to respond to all changes. ”
Seeing Second Master Xu walking in, I hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Xu, you're back!" Thank you really hard for buying us so many things early in the morning! ”
Xu Erye came over and patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Little Hu Ye, I'm old!" It is no longer the time when the rivers and lakes were dominant, not to mention that the current rivers and lakes do not belong to our generation. So, all I can do is do all the logistics for you. The cars, supplies, and equipment you might need are ready, when are you going to go? ”
I glanced at my hand, it said seven and five minutes, I thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't wait, since everything is ready, the three of us will leave now." ”
As soon as Xiong Ming heard me say that he was leaving, he immediately said loudly: "I said Hu Tian, don't!" You bear and I haven't eaten yet! Wait for me for a while? ”
I glared at Xiong Ming and scolded, "What to eat!" You know how to eat every day, and Hou Dayong is the same, they are all fucking starving ghosts reincarnated. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! ”
Xiong Ming scolded back angrily: "Hey! You kid actually compared me to that dead monkey, Lao Tzu is stronger, at least I didn't lie in the coffin! ”
Xiong Ming said that he was not idle at all, and asked a new little girl from Yiyuanzhai on the side for a plastic bag, and then put all the buns and pies on the table into it, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Lao Tzu, I will keep it for the road to eat!" ”
