Chapter 217: Stars
We stayed with my second uncle in my hometown for a few days, and my brother's attitude towards me has become more and more cold these days, and since the last incident, more things have begun to happen, and the two of us have very different opinions.
My expectations of the world and his perception, like the South Pole and the North Pole, can never intersect at two ends of the earth, and neither the shortest straight line between the two points nor any other theory can change them, they are the farthest places in the world.
A few days later, I suddenly received a message asking for help, the message was from a woman, she looked nervous, claiming that she has been doing some strange things around her recently, and wants to ask for our help for a fee, as long as she can help her solve the problem, the price is all right.
There is also a contact information of a mobile phone number at the bottom of the message, I hesitated, showed the information to my brother, and asked him if he wanted to go, after all, this is the first order after starting business on a different forum, but the problem is that this is more special at the moment, we have all become public sinners, this woman is also active in different forums, she must know about us, why do you dare to look for us?
My brother thought for a while and said, "Go, why don't you earn money if you have money, even if you become a great sinner, you can't wait to eat." ”
Since he had said so, I didn't say anything more and started calling the man.
But I called three or four times in a row, but no one answered, I had some doubts in my heart, so I sent a text message over: Hello lady, I am from a different forum, I received your message here, and I want to know about the situation.
The short message had just been sent, and within ten seconds, the phone call came.
As soon as I got through, I listened to the phone and the other side immediately said in a fierce tone: "Is that you?" The two people who are very popular on different forums? What's it called, what's the picture? ”
"It's us..."I laughed helplessly, and then asked her: "I read the message you sent that there have been a lot of weird things around you recently, can you tell me more about what's going on?" ”
"I'm going crazy!" Her tone was close to collapse: "It's been going on for many days, I really don't know what to do, I have a friend in the forum, she invited me and said that there is a way to find you, it's better to meet and say this matter, it's not convenient on the phone." ”
I listened to her tone in such a hurry, not like she was joking, so I agreed, and then she sent us the address, and made a special note that it should be as soon as possible!
This kind of thing really can't be slowed down, and if it's a day late, the appointment may be gone.
After discussing with my brother, I said goodbye to my second uncle, who stood at the entrance of the village and watched us leave, and he did not turn around for a long time.
After leaving the village and starting to Shanghai, it took almost a day on the way, and after that, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
I made an appointment to meet her at a café, and when the two of us passed, we saw a woman sitting in the innermost position, and she saw us coming and hurriedly waved her hand.
"It's you, right?" The woman was dressed strangely, with a mask on her face, a hat on her head, and most importantly, a pair of sunglasses, as if she was going to wrap herself in full armor.
But despite this, it can also be seen that her identity is not ordinary, the objects she wears and the jewelry she wears are expensive, and she is dressed very exquisitely.
My brother and I sat down across from her, and she looked around before carefully taking off her sunglasses a little.
Behind the sunglasses, there were very beautiful eyes, bright and bright.
I was stunned when I saw this, and she stretched out her hand and said, "My surname is Tang." ”
My brother held her hand and nodded, frowning and wondering, "It's so dark in the café, why are you still wearing a pair of sunglasses?" ”
"I'm afraid of being recognized...", she said this in a somewhat stumbling tone, as if she was very scared to death, wearing a mask, and she couldn't see what her face looked like.
"Recognize?" I looked at her suspiciously, and suddenly understood something: "You... Is it a public figure? ”
"Pretty much." She looked around warily.
"You're a star?" I was even more confused and surprised.
She didn't deny it, but she didn't refuse either, and said in a decisive tone: "In short, I can't let people recognize it, let alone let people know that I'm looking for you, so this matter must be kept secret, money is not a problem, as long as I can solve the matter, I can pay three times your normal price." ”
Her aura is very high, and the conditions are not to think and refuse with others, my brother and I were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and couldn't help but ask her curiously: "Regardless of your identity first, can you tell me what happened to you?" ”
"I still can't believe that such a thing could happen to me!" As soon as she mentioned what she wanted to say, her tone immediately became anxious, and she said: "It started two weeks ago, when I just released my new single, and the sales were very good, and my good friend Rong Rong also took me out for a walk to celebrate." ”
"We went to the amusement park that day, bought a lot of things, and when we went out later, we met an old man selling paintings outside, this old man was very strange, so many people didn't have anybody, so they had to look for us."
"He said that he was a painter, and he painted a picture for us, and asked us to buy it, but my girlfriend and I didn't want it, because the old man was dressed in tatters, dirty, and smelly, but he had to sell it to us, and he couldn't get rid of anything."
"As you know, the amusement park is crowded with people, and I can't expose myself, so in the end, I couldn't get along, so I had to buy it."
"After leaving, I was dirty, and the painting was full of dust, so I found a place to throw it away, and forgot about it at the beginning."
"I went to dinner with my girlfriend at night, and I drank some wine that day, I was a little drunk, and I can't remember the rest of the story, but I remember that after I got home, I put things down, and suddenly I saw the painting in my bag again!"
"I remember throwing it away, how did I come back? I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't remember what was going on, so I called my best friend Rongrong, and I asked her if she had thrown away the painting she bought. ”
"She said it like, what's wrong?"
"I said I put something in my bag just now, and I found that the painting was still in my bag, but I remember that it seemed to have been thrown away!"
"She told me not to think about it, I didn't want to throw it away anymore."
"So I threw the painting in the trash can under the neighborhood and went to sleep, but when I woke up the next day and went to the bathroom to wash up, do you know what happened?" When she said this, her tone became tense: "As soon as I opened the door, I saw that this painting was actually hanging on the bathroom mirror, blocking the whole mirror in half!" ”
When I heard this, my brow furrowed, and I motioned for her to continue.
"I was completely confused, I didn't know what was going on!" She was scared: "I hurriedly took off the painting and threw it in the trash, and in the end, I was really worried and burned it with a lighter!" ”
"Burned?" My brother was stunned for a moment: "And then?" ”
"Then I thought it would be okay and started to go to work, but when I came back in the evening, something even more terrible happened!"
"It's back?" I asked suspiciously.
Xiao Tang nodded nervously, and said in disbelief: "I swore I would definitely burn it, but it came back, this time hanging in my living room, next to my grandmother's posthumous photo." ”
"Could it be someone's prank? Is there anyone else living with you? ”
"Impossible!" She immediately denied it: "I live in that house by myself, it can't be a prank!" ”
"How can you be so sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!" She said in a fierce tone: "Because then I found something even weirder!" It's this thing that I can't stand it at all! ”
I heard her say: "I didn't throw it away several times in a row, and at first I wondered if it could be a prank by that friend, so I just let it hang there." ”
"But then one time, in the middle of the night, I was sleeping in the house, and suddenly I was woken up by a strange sound, which was very strange, as if someone was grinding something, rustling."
"I was dazed and my head wasn't very clear, and I thought I had heard it wrong, until a 'bang' in the living room woke me up completely!"
"I thought there was a thief in the house, so I dared to open the bedroom door a crack to look, and found that the light in the living room was on, but there was no one in the house, and something on the ground was broken, and I took a closer look and found that it was my grandmother's portrait!"
