Volume 1 Origin Chapter 48 Entering the Money House
The next day, Tang Shao was sent to the Qian family's villa in Xishan as promised. It's just that this time he didn't see either Liu Xiaoqing or the woman named Zheng Qianxue. It was Liu Xiaoqing's old driver who sent him here, and the person who picked him up was a bald middle-aged man. Later, he learned that the middle-aged man was the housekeeper of this villa, named Li Liang.
Such a situation had to make Tang Shao feel that the world was cold. Thinking about Liu Xiaoqing yesterday and going to Zheng Qianxue for her own business, although she was later told that a lot of clothes were paid for with her own money, but it was good for herself; Zheng Qianxue often secretly sends autumn waves to herself, although nothing will happen, but it can be regarded as a manifestation of care.
But today, Liu Xiaoqing didn't see Liu Xiaoqing, and Zheng Qianxue didn't see Zheng Qianxue. When a merchant talks about buying and selling, he naturally has to revolve around the commodity, but once the transaction is made, it is his subordinates who deliver the goods, and the same subordinates who receive the goods.
"You come with me!" Steward Li didn't have a lot of words, just whispered a word of greeting and turned around and walked towards the depths of the villa.
The building in front of me is more of a mansion than a villa. Just from the tall courtyard walls, you can feel the huge size of this house. The architectural style of the mansion is a bit strange, and when you look through the open door, you can see the classical buildings with flying eaves and arches, as well as the square modern buildings.
A short turn right at the entrance of the mansion is a small botanical garden with a path through it. Steward Li just walked briskly and didn't look back. Tang Shao followed closely behind, and because he was distracted by the surrounding scenery, he stumbled a little when he walked.
Just when Tang Shao was fascinated by a cluster of roses planted in a glass cover, he heard Steward Li whisper: "Keep up." When he turned around, Steward Li had disappeared around a corner. Tang Shao hurriedly stepped up his pace and ran to the corner.
"Ahh A woman's scream came, which frightened Tang Shao as well.
"Tang Shao? How did you......? The woman could see each other's faces before she could get up.
"Ouyang Beiyan!" As soon as Tang Shao said a few words, he was covered by Ouyang Beiyan. Then he put his middle finger to his lips and made a silent gesture and whispered, "I'll look for you in two days." Then he raised his voice and said, "Why don't you look at the road and rush to reincarnate!" ”
This sentence was obviously said to Steward Li.
"Why two days? ...... tonight" Tang Shao sat on the ground and asked in a low voice, but Ouyang Beiyan had already left and didn't seem to hear his words at all.
Steward Li finally stopped, he was standing at the door of a room, looking at Tang Shao. Tang Shao was a little hairy by those eyes, and quickly got up and ran in the direction of Steward Li.
Tang Shao followed the housekeeper into the door, and inside the door was a small room. The room was empty, with a bed by the wall facing the doorway, and a desk and a stool under the wall in the back. The table was also empty, with only a white notebook in place.
"I don't ask you how you got into this courtyard, and I don't want to ask you about all that, you just need to remember one thing, you can disrespect me in this courtyard, but you must respect the rules here. You have two days to learn these rules, and you are not allowed to leave the room for those two days. Someone will bring you food, and there is a bathroom for washing. While speaking, Li Liang picked up the white notebook on the desk and threw it into Tang Shao's arms: "If you can't memorize it, how can you get in and how you can get out." ”
After speaking, Li Liang turned around and left without giving Tang Shaoti a chance to ask questions, and then the sound of locking the door came from outside the door.
"MD, lock the door!" Tang Shao scolded indignantly.
Tang Shao thought about it and flipped the white book casually, and a burst of dust almost blinded Tang Shao's eyes.
"No wonder it's two days later." Tang Shao thought of the agreement with Ouyang Beiyan and immediately understood. He sat down on the bed, which once again kicked up a layer of dust. I don't know how long it's been since anyone has been here.
Two days later, the locked door finally opened. Steward Li walked in with a middle-aged man who looked quite old. The sunlight was shining through the open door. Tang Shao hurriedly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Steward Li didn't pay attention to Tang Shao, who was not dressed properly, but walked directly to the table, stretched out his finger and tapped on the white paper. An obvious fingerprint mark was immediately left on the white page, and Steward Li secretly laughed.
"Books, read them all?" Steward Li asked with some disdain, he asked this purely to go through the motions, just waiting for the bastard boy to lose the young master's temper, and said "Lao Tzu didn't see it" and walked away.
"Looked." Tang Shao replied casually.
Steward Li knew that he was lying, and he didn't care, so he casually asked: "What time is breakfast on the first floor of the compound, what time is it on the second floor, and what time is it on the third floor?" ”
Tang Shao only hesitated for a moment before replying, "Six o'clock, six thirty o'clock, seven o'clock." ”
Steward Li was shocked in his heart, but he still had that cold expression on his face, and then asked, "What is the reception time of the male host?" ”
"Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., except by special arrangement."
"How to deal with conflicts between masters?"
He immediately got the answer to his question from somewhere, but he couldn't believe it, so he hesitated and asked, "Silence?" ”
Steward Li snorted coldly, did not continue to ask questions, but turned to the middle-aged man who followed him and said, "Master Xia, he will belong to you in the future, watch carefully, teach more." ”
The middle-aged man's back is slightly bent, and he makes a promise.
It wasn't until he saw the humility of this middle-aged man that Tang Shao finally noticed his rudeness, and quickly stood up in front of the bed, standing with his head bowed like a middle-aged man.
Steward Li walked away, leaving only Tang Shao and a middle-aged man surnamed Xia in the empty room. It wasn't until Steward Li's unhurried footsteps completely disappeared that the middle-aged man stood up straight and said, "Come with me!" ”
"Damn, are all the people in this courtyard so virtuous?" Tang Shao only saw two people when he came here, but the opening remarks of the two people were so arrogant.
Tang Shao followed behind the middle-aged man, and assumed a posture like a child. The bored Tang Shao asked in his brain: "I don't know what he's thinking?" ”
"Didn't think about anything." A voice replied in his head, "It's like a dead man." ”
Tang Shao couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, not because there was someone else's voice in his brain, but because with Tang Rou's prompt, the more he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, the more he looked like a dead man. It's okay not to look closely, but after careful observation, Tang Shao found a lot of non-human signs. For example, the frequency of his steps seems to be uniform from beginning to end, and even when he walks over undulating roads, he never has half a point of confusion. There is also the magnitude of his steps, and the dozens of steps seem to be strictly uniform. The weirdest thing is that when he turns, he walks two steps straight across the corner of the wall, and then his body stands, and his head, shoulders and hips rotate ninety degrees at the same time and then continue to move forward.
The more you look at it, the more it looks like a zombie!
Tang Shao was apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop. When he turned the corner, he suddenly loaded a heavy object and was bounced back. Tang Shao was so frightened that he screamed.
"What do you want?" Master Xia's scolding voice came. Tang Shao's throbbing little heart settled down.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Tang Shaoxin got up with palpitations.
"Hehe, according to the test of Mr. Xia's physiological characteristics, he is indeed a living person." Tang Rou's voice came out of Tang Shao's head.
"Of course I know he's a living man." Tang Shao replied to her angrily, but immediately reacted again: "It can't be that you are playing some tricks on my brain, right?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Tang Shao suddenly had a number in his heart, and his guess must be true. Those scary thoughts just now must have been deliberately made up by the little girl to trick him.
"The boss's surname is Xia, right?" Tang Shao tentatively accosted him.
The middle-aged man actually replied: "What a boss, it's not an underworld." Let's call Master Xia. Master Xia said teasingly.
Although his tone is not good, Master Xia is obviously not as unkind as Steward Li. Tang Shao hurriedly ran two steps to Master Xia's side and said, "Where are we going?" ”
"Just follow along, and you'll be in place soon." Just as Master Xia was answering the question, a word flashed through his brain, toilet!
"Damn! It won't be a toilet wash! Tang Shao suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Well, when Master Xia answered your question just now, what appeared in his brain was the toilet." Tang Rou's voice quickly followed.
Tang Shao followed Master Xia, and after many turns, he finally stopped in front of a remote hut.
"You will live here in the future, and when Dalong comes back, you will say that you are sent by Steward Li to work with him." Master Xia turned around and left without waiting for Tang Shao to ask questions, Tang Shao looked at the back of the unhurried walking away and lost his interest in communicating with him.
"All one virtue!" Tang Shao was also helpless, so he could only scold again.
Fortunately, he didn't have to face that stinky face in the future, and Tang Shao finally relaxed a little.
Tang Shao turned to look at the hut behind him. Although it is a small hut, it is not small, probably to match the green style of this area, and its shape is the kind of log cabin that often appears in fairy tales, so as to give people a small feeling. The spire and chimney would have been mottled if it weren't for the paint on the exterior walls, and it would have tasted like a child's talk.
Tang Shao pushed open the door of the hut and saw a relatively large room, which gave people a large feeling and was partly because of its emptiness, which was a kind of pure emptiness, without any superfluous things.
There are three small doors on three walls of the living room, allowing only one person to pass through.
Tang Shao casually opened a small door near the door. There were all kinds of tools inside, and even the walls were covered with hoes and shovels and the like. But although there are many things in the house, they are not messy, and everything is placed in an orderly manner.
"Hehe, it seems that he is a florist at most, but a florist with a habit of cleanliness is really rare." Tang Shao muttered to himself in a low voice.
After looking at the first room, Tang Shao walked to the door of the second room again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a cold and calm voice came from behind him: "That's my room, you live opposite." ”
Although this sound was not loud, it scared Tang Shao's heart to a beat, and he instinctively turned around and made a defensive move.
The man who spoke was about the same age as Tang Shao, wearing a blue overalls, but he had an unexpectedly handsome face. If it weren't for the coldness he brought when he spoke, I believe most people would have liked this young man at first sight.
Tang Shao also relaxed slightly when he saw this face, and said, "You are Da Long, right?" I was sent by Steward Xia to work. ”
"Got it, go back to your room, I'll call you if you have work to do." As he spoke, Dalong had already begun to clean up, and he took off his shabby, but not very dirty overalls, and hung them in the tool room.
Dalong's face was indifferent from the moment he entered the door, and he looked at Tang Shao with an expressionless face, and Tang Shao was a little hairy. If it weren't for the fact that he could still speak, Tang Shaozhen would have thought that he had encountered a zombie.
"Is there a rule we have here that you don't laugh?" Tang Shao wanted to ask this question from the time he saw Master Xia, but Master Xia's own majesty made him a little jealous, and now that he saw such a person who was about the same age as himself, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's just that the man doesn't like to be too presumptuous." Dalong didn't seem to hear that Tang Shao just wanted to complain, but replied very seriously.
Tang Shao's worst thing is to communicate with serious people, and that sense of restraint will always come as scheduled at such a time. In order to draw a sentence to this conversation, Tang Shao asked, "Is there a toilet here?" ”
"Go out to the right and follow the path to see it." Dalong replied without a voice.
Tang Shao walked out of the room and walked ten meters briskly before he breathed a sigh of relief, it felt like a prisoner had finally walked out of prison.
"Hey!"
Tang Shao, who had just relaxed, was so frightened by a hand on his shoulder that he slapped on his shoulder from behind and almost urinated in his crotch. The atmosphere here is so oppressive, and there are so many strange people, it's hard not to be nervous. If he hadn't been scared out of his mind, he would have given the guy who was filming himself a roundhouse kick first.
"Scared the hell out of me, you!" Before Tang Shao could speak, Ouyang Beiyan, who was behind Tang Shao, spoke first.
"You still sue the wicked first, you scared me to death." Perhaps infected by the atmosphere of the compound, Tang Shao naturally lowered a few decibels when he spoke.
"How did you get here? What about my sister? ”
"I'm embarrassed to ask me, you don't know why I'm here?" After speaking, Tang Shao pointed at Ouyang Beiyan. Ouyang Beiyan's face was slightly red, but he said coldly: "You reckless man, do you know that my sister is very dangerous now, and now it is estimated that people have been targeted." ”
"What's the danger, who's eyeing her? Aren't you being targeted? ”
"I'm just a little guy, and no one is eyeing me. You hurry up and take my sister away and go to a remote place, the more remote the better. ”
"But you look ......," Tang Shao waved his hand and gestured in front of Ouyang Beiyan's face.
"You think they're all like you, and the people looking for her are much smarter than you."
"Oh. By the way, what exactly are you here for? ”
"Why should I tell you? Your mission is to take my sister away and fly away. Ouyang Beiyan was a little angry when he said it.
"Tang Rou won't leave, I can't convince her to abandon her sister and leave."
"Don't pretend to be confused with me, you know better than me what she is, so she won't care about my safety. If you don't care about her, what's ......" Ouyang Beiyan suddenly felt as if she had spoken of a reality that she hadn't realized yet, and couldn't help blushing again, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Anyway, it's right for you to take her away, if Ren Jiuyan doesn't find her, my uncle can be safer." After saying that, Ouyang Beiyan hurriedly ran into another path, and Tang Shao fed her several times in a row, and she didn't look back.
Tang Shao returned to the cartoon hut after going to the toilet, and just when he closed the door and was about to go back to his room, a voice suddenly sounded in Dalong's room: "No matter who you are, don't come nonsense?" ”
Tang Shao's little heart, which had already experienced several frightes, almost stopped work completely this time. Isn't this guy just a gardener? How do you look like a spy?
Tang Shao leaned his back against the door and took a few breaths before finally returning to normal.
"MD, is this a haunted house? There are no normal people left! Tang Shao complained in a low voice and returned to his room.
called Tang Rou in his head a few more times, but did not get a response, Tang Shao could only fall asleep sullenly by himself.
A new week, a new chapter. I was apprehensive, and I sighed at midnight.
