On the morning of the second day, when I went downstairs for breakfast, my mother told me that Nashojintang had already gone out.

It seems that he is a busy man who is going to sign the contract. As the general person in charge, he is at the low ebb of the Rensheng Society, but he has to do it himself, although the hall masters can stand in the way, but before the Rensheng Society has not transformed, they are indeed good at all parties in the Taoist sect, and the friends in the Taoist are also afraid of them. However, after the transformation into an industrial factory, it involved a variety of professions and businesses, dealing with and doing business with more foreigners. When it comes to the rules and regulations of law and business, the bosses of these churches are all people who can't get on the stage.

So this situation needs to be reversed, and the Jintang Sutra told me that there is no need to cultivate professional business talents, and it is unfortunate that he is treating me as one of the training objects. To be exact, it's not a coincidence, but a lot of training, I don't know what his thoughts are, but in order to reduce his burden, of course I'm going to do it.

Usually I accompany him to business activities, but today he didn't call me, maybe he has his own plans, just today, just like me and Mr. Wang at home.

After breakfast. Mother Wu came to me in the garden: "Miss Cat, the old man told you to go to his study." ”

"Well, got it, I'll go back right away."

I'm very curious what did the old man tell me to do?

When I stepped into his calligraphy, he was squandering his pen and ink in his study, and I saw that he was painting a vigorous green pine, which easily grew on the edge of the cliff. On the edge of the cliff, there happened to be an eagle flying by, which was hovering in the sky, looking down at the sky.

I knocked lightly on the door and reminded him that I was coming: "Old man, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, come in, sit on the couch for a while, and finish the picture." He didn't even raise his head, and as he spoke, he intently stamped and signed.

After about 5 minutes, he finally finished the painting, he straightened up and beckoned to me kindly: "Mao Jiujiu, come here, come and evaluate." ”

I stood up and walked over, standing at my desk, looking at the painting he had just finished, and I wasn't afraid of him at all. Sometimes I feel that my bold and straightforward words make him happier than me, and I intend to give up flattery to him.

"The lifelike feeling of your painting, but I don't know much about it, is there any point in getting along with the cliffside, the green pine, and the eagle? The words you mentioned above are also very interesting: the green mountains are still red at sunset a few degrees. This painting reminds me of the cliff edge we are in the cottage, and the cliff edge of your painting is very close to the cliff edge of the cottage, there seems to be such a long green pine, and occasionally a few eagles are circling in the sky. I suddenly looked at him in surprise: "Then I know, you are painting your past, this painting is the cliff edge in your memory, right?" ”

The old man smiled, nodded and said: "It seems that you still discovered my secret, this place is indeed the same as the place you said, many years have not passed, I am thinking about the cliff or that cliff, the green pine has grown, it was still a small green pine, it was just to my shoulder, I and the old gang leader Cao easily gave their respective names, I remember that we were joking at the time: When our next generation sees this green pine again, it will prove that we are old." Those eagles that were in the sky, he is already a descendant of the eagle we saw before. ”

"Yes, the green pine next to it is like a big tree. Well, there are a lot of pine cones on it, which is particularly impressive, and it is a single seedling green pine on the side of the bare cliff, so it looks particularly different. "I suddenly remembered.

Old Man Wang had an epiphany: "It's a pity that the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year." One tree, one person, one scene. ”

Seeing him miss the cliff so much, I guess it must be a child's dream, I don't know if I should talk about it, this cliffside, at least I know that there was a cliff incident, and several things in the cottage are related to the location of this cliff.

Old Man Wang asked me on the edge of this cliff: "Old Gang Leader Cao got drunk from here, right?" ”

He asked suddenly, I glared at him, I was hesitating whether I should tell him to like it, I was measuring this, how safe was it to tell him the truth? Because Na Jintang once told me that what happened in the past was that I was afraid that too much would affect Old Man Wang's mood, and it would inevitably interfere with his mind and even affect his body.

Just when I was hesitating, Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Jin'er has already told me the matter, he was drunk, and he was actually pushed into the bottomless abyss by his most beloved favorite woman. A generation of heroes did not expect to fall into such a situation, so you pushed the people who designed him off the cliff and buried them here. Although it is said that it is not kind, sometimes it is moral, but it is also a last resort. ”

I know what he wants to say, in extraordinary times, you don't need to do extraordinary things. The big husband can't do things with kindness first, and don't follow the rules.

"Hmm!" I agreed with him, and then we were able to reach a balance of opinions, and if we had changed to the past, the two of us would have absolutely diverged views.

He asked me with squinted eyes, as if he was already sitting in his executive chair and I was already sitting on the couch across from him, he was a standard old-fashioned pipe, and I was sipping my jasmine tea, and in our leisure time, the two of us sat together.

I'm still laughing in my heart, this old zombie, what do you want to say today?

If he doesn't ask me questions, he will never ask you to touch his sometimes extremely strict principles, and afternoon tea, and talk about the weather forecast, and talk about anecdotes is just a passing time.

I looked at him with a puzzled expression, and I couldn't control my curiosity: "I guess you're here today to ask me something more about what's going on in the cottage, right?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a smart kid, and your cleverness will make you get more help." He smiled indifferently.

I didn't care about what I said: "There are a few things that we can discuss together, shall we?" "He provoked me first, and he originally wanted to take the 6 little yellow things in one stroke. Who asked him to always mention the matter of the deep cottage to me, I was thinking in my heart: Even if you don't give me the six little yellow fish, but you don't put a single taciturn fart, you have to make this matter clear.

He smiled indifferently: "There is something you can say directly, and you don't need to beat around the bush." "Sometimes I can't tell if his encouragement is intentional or implied.

I gritted my teeth and finally made up my mind to start asking him, "Then let's start reminiscing from the day before we started." ”

"Hmm."

"I remember when you told me that if I went up the mountain with Najintang smoothly, and successfully took out the contents of the box from the small attic, would I be able to get 6 small yellow croaker, and you agreed at that time. And, well, hide from inside the crate. "Try to speak as plainly as possible, with a look of indifference.

"Well, it was designed like this at the time, if you were going to go directly with Jin'er at that time, of course I know my own son, of course he won't let you follow, so you have to enter the small cargo box. Is there anything wrong with this, now it seems that you are standing in front of me so safely and lively, which means that the container is safe enough. "He is actually a clear articulate and logical thinker.

I recalled how I had died and lived, and I gritted my teeth and replied almost in a grinding voice: "That little black box is so amazing, I almost couldn't get out, if I hadn't come out 5 minutes later, maybe you wouldn't have seen me standing in front of you so alive now." ”

He analyzed, "Didn't I tell you to open the rope?" It contains water and a dagger, and you can operate it according to the method beforehand, and there should be no problem, is there no rope to open for you? Could it be that the dagger inside is stewed? What's wrong? ”

I want to refute him, there is no loophole for me to refute, there is indeed a rope and a dagger and water that day, and the rope is also loose, the only thing that exists is that I was sick that day, and I was very sick, and the suffocating space made me sick like a mountain.

I swallowed hard: "Okay, you're right, there's nothing wrong with this one. "Of course I don't want to tell him that I was sick at the time, and how I can get his sympathy, and his sympathy, in general, will point to Bai Wei. I'm still self-aware at this point.

I continued to talk about the second thing: "If you arrange tasks to solve things, it is difficult to go to the sky, and in layman's terms, it is impossible to complete the tasks. You just need to arrange for me to go into the small attic alone, is there something terrible in the small attic, just let the brocade talk to you yesterday, what a big python, what a Tibetan mastiff, what a vampire bat, and a miasma. If I want to go alone, I think the first time I go there is no return, there is nothing in it that I can carry, the beasts in the small attic can't even carry the cottage brothers, and in the end I have to rely on the brocade hall to lead them to break in together. What's more, I'm a woman like me, and the guy in my hand doesn't have a kitchen knife, so she takes a small pair of scissors and breaks in? I paused, because I wanted to tell him what was in my heart: "Are you sure I'm up to it?" You trust me so much. ”

I said this very tactfully, in fact, what I want to express in my heart is: Are you sure you didn't harm me? Knowing that I am impossible to do this position, I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Then I'm not sure if he knows the truth of this matter, that is, the truth about the dangers in the small attic, then you say that he should know a little bit about it, and he has great powers, and it is possible for him to escape his eyes.

He replied to me without shock: "If you are arranged to go in this way, I will definitely trust you, otherwise I would not have arranged to do this." ”

I expressed my suspicions in advance: "If we go over, let's say, I'm talking about hypothetical, if the old gang leader Cao is still there, will you let me go and steal this so-called treasure chest treasure hunt in front of him?" "I asked very directly, I was a little curious, and in my understanding this was a key turning point.
