Chapter 68: Something Happened
After hanging up Master's phone, I came to the door after washing up, and called the old man Xiao, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, to go to eat together.
In a Hunan restaurant not far from the Jiang family's office building, Old Man Xiao ordered a few home-cooked stir-fried dishes, ordered two bottles of beer, and then found a table near the door and sat down.
Not long after I sat down, the fragrant meal was served in a short time, and I was just about to serve the dishes. Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper of the Jiang family, ran over sweating profusely: "I finally found you, you two used to eat here!" ”
"Uncle Zhong, why are you looking for us in such a hurry?" I put down my chopsticks and handed over a cigarette.
Uncle Zhong took the cigarette and looked at the crowd in the Hunan restaurant, and then said softly: "This is not the place to talk, please come with me!" ”
Old man Xiao looked at the food that had just been served on the table with regret and said, "I finally found a Hunan restaurant, the food has been served, and I haven't moved the chopsticks yet!" ”
"Mr. Xiao rest assured, the Jiang family is responsible for all the food and accommodation expenses of the two of you during this time in the Jiang family, and I will buy the order for this meal! But this matter is very urgent now, I hope you two can go with me to meet the patriarch immediately! Uncle Zhong looked at Old Man Xiao with a smile.
"Uncle Zhong, is it Patriarch Jiang's illness?" I looked back at the diners eating and drinking next to me, and I didn't dare to say the Five Poisons Corpse Oil, but said the condition of Patriarch Jiang.
Uncle Zhong's sweaty face showed a slightly worried expression, and I nodded to Old Man Xiao: "Let's go!" Lao Xiao, let's go over and see what's going on first! Don't keep people waiting, and besides, this is not a place to chat. ”
"Alas! All right! Let's go!" Old man Xiao stood up, patted his buttocks, turned his head and shouted, "Waiter, check out!" ”
A young man walked over with a smile on his face: "The two of them spent a total of 150 yuan, cash or credit card?" ”
Uncle Zhong waved his hand: "It's all recorded in the name of the Jiang family!" At the end of the month, the bill will be paid to you together. ”
The young man smiled and nodded, "Hmm! Good! Let's take a slow walk! ”
Uncle Zhong looked at me: "Let's go!" Brother Wang, let's talk as we go! ”
The midday sun was so hot that even the asphalt pavement became very soft and hot, and there were basically no pedestrians on the road, and even fewer vehicles. I didn't go far from the Hunan restaurant, and I was already sweating like rain. Turning his head to look at the old man Xiao next to him, it seems that he is no better than me, his clothes have been wet with sweat. And his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, walking listlessly on the hot road.
I finally entered the building of the Jiang Group, because the whole building was air-conditioned, so the temperature inside was relatively comfortable.
Old man Xiao sat down on the sofa in the hall: "Why is it so hot over here?" It's much hotter than our Changsha. I can't stand it anymore, so let's sit down for a while! ”
I smiled and said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong! This is your Jiang family's territory, and there are no outsiders. Besides, it's very cool here, so let's tell us what the hell is going on! ”
Uncle Zhong sat down on the side, then took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket and handed one to me and Old Man Xiao. Then he looked at us and said.
"Here's the thing, a couple of people in our company who do antiques trade went to the countryside to buy antiques and something happened. I heard that one was bitten by a ghost and two were bitten to death, and I don't know the situation very well, so I have to ask Shen Gongzi specifically, he and the patriarch are waiting for the two of them in the office now! ”
"What? Ghost? Biting? And bite people to death?" I stood up and shouted curiously. Uncle Zhong looked at me, I hurriedly looked back at the people in the hall, and then sat down and asked Old Man Xiao, "Old Xiao!" What do you think? I've seen a lot of ghosts and ghosts, but this is the first time I've heard of ghosts biting people, so it's very interesting. ”
"In my opinion, it's definitely not a ghost that bites people. Because a ghost is just a spirit, it has no substance. How can it bite! Even if it wants to harm people, it only shows up to scare and scare, and at most, it will go up to control people to commit suicide. Old man Xiao lit a cigarette and said while swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.
"I don't know about this, let's ask the patriarch!" Uncle Zhong smiled awkwardly.
I pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the glass ashtray on the table next to me, then stood up and said to Old Man Xiao, "Let's go!" Old Xiao, Uncle Zhong doesn't know much about this matter, let's go ask Shen Gongzi! ”
"Since there are ghosts and monsters that harm people, how can I, as a disciple of Maoshan Mountain, stand by and watch! Let's go! Go directly to the office to see Shen Gongzi! Old man Xiao threw away half of the cigarette in his hand and said indignantly.
Uncle Zhong took us into the elevator, but I didn't expect Jiang Yimeng, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, to be there.
I smiled and said hello: "Miss, good afternoon!" ”
Jiang Yimeng looked at me with a smile: "Can you trouble you?" Don't call it that! You still call me Mengmeng! ”
"Little niece, let me tell you! This Wang Youyu is not a good person, you must be careful when you contact him! Old man Xiao said to Jiang Yimeng with a sly smile.
"Why am I not a good person again? Lao Xiao, don't talk nonsense! I pinched Old Man Xiao's thigh hard.
"Ouch! It hurts! Why are you pinching me! If you pinch me again, I'll say the same! You still say you're a good person? Even my thighs won't let go. Old man Xiao shouted while holding the place where I was pinched.
Jiang Yimeng's face was red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said softly: "Uncle Xiao, if you are still so unserious, I will ignore you!" ”
"Yo! Feelings: You two teamed up to bully me, an old man? You only knew each other last night! Wearing a pair of pants so soon? Stinky boy, you have no conscience! We've known each other for so long, can't we compare to her who just met for a day? Old man Xiao looked at me, and then at Jiang Yimeng.
"Lao Zhong! You can give a review! The two of them teamed up to bully me as an old man, you can't sit idly by! Old man Xiao looked at Uncle Zhong snickering next to him with a sad face.
"Ugh! Well, this one! I really can't help it, so go ahead! I saw nothing, heard nothing. Uncle Zhong smiled and said.
"Good! Count me old man out of luck. Old man Xiao shook his head self-deprecatingly.
The elevator stopped, and Jiang Yimeng asked with a smile, "Are you going to the office?" That's it. ”
"That's right! Didn't any of you die from being bitten to death by a demon? How can I, a Maoshan disciple, sit idly by! Old man Xiao nodded and said.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? I'm going to go over and have a look, so let's go to the office together! Jiang Yimeng's curiosity was aroused by Old Man Xiao's words.
"That ghost is terrifying! Are you sure you want to go? Old man Xiao made a grimace to scare Jiang Yimeng.
"Don't be afraid, I haven't seen a real ghost yet! I'm going to definitely check it out. Jiang Yimeng nodded categorically. After speaking, Uncle Zhong and I took Old Man Xiao and me to the office.
