CHAPTER 5 FAMILY

Harbin in winter is really beautiful, full of white, snow-white world like in a fairy tale, but it is really cold, I didn't bring thick clothes, my teeth were shivering from the cold, but fortunately there was air conditioning in the car. We walked all the way to Brother Dong's house, originally thinking that he should also live in a building in the city, but the car drove all the way out of the downtown area, like to the suburbs, and finally arrived at a villa area.

Brother Dong, the rich second generation, is really not built, the house is magnificent, and the decoration is in place. The villa is a simple European style, a large one-piece window, white wall, the key is that the scale is very large, from a distance it should be composed of several courtyards, the big door number at the door is engraved with a 'Liu' word, the penmanship is vigorous and powerful.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Brother Dong trotting over, he was dressed in a neat black suit, and his usually unruly hair was also waxed up at this time, with Russian blood, he looked so energetic, a genuine young master. He first paused, then hugged me and said, "Emma, Xiaocao, I haven't seen you for a few months and become handsome, how is your health, it's okay." I happily said, "It's okay, it's just anemia." ”

"Why are you still anemic, when you have time, brother will find you a few girls to make up for it." Brother Dong shook his eyes, hugged me, and said shyly.

"Go, go, go, I know I don't like that." After saying that, I gave him a blank look.

I thought to myself, you are just talking and your image is shattered. Seeing that Brother Dong was as happy as a child because he teased me, my heart couldn't help but warm up. Brother Dong is really righteous enough, he is a rich second generation, and his character is much better than that Zhao Qiang.

"Let's go and come in." We talked as we walked. But as soon as I entered the courtyard gate of the villa, I noticed that something was wrong, there were a lot of people in black suits around, who were they? looks very organized, could it be that Brother Dong is also mixed with the underworld? No way. And all of them are men, they are all strong, and they should all look good. I quickly lowered my head and followed Brother Dong in. Dustwind just silently followed.

I whispered, "Brother Dong, now the underworld is going to be cracked down, you... Brother Dong glanced at me, and then looked outside. Pursed lips and smiled.

"You kid have watched too many Hong Kong films, these people are relatives of our family, some time ago, something happened at home, everyone came to deal with things together, and they will go back in a few days."

"Oh, something's wrong? Brother Dong, did your disappearance during that time have anything to do with this? I whispered.

Brother Dong raised his eyebrows.

"I know I can't hide it from you, go, go in and say." We came to a room on the third floor of the villa, and Brother Dong said to one of the people who followed, "Xiao Qi, go find some good tea, don't let people come over if you have nothing to do." ”

"It's Brother Dong... The man quickly withdrew and closed the door. I thought to myself, it's not the fucking underworld, this classic dialogue is here, and I'm thinking, Brother Dong won't pull me into the gang, probably not, he knows best what I can do.

"Xiaocao, I, I'll tell you something, that, I" Looking at Brother Dong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, I'm in a hurry,

"Brother Dong, tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

"I, I, I'm sorry for you, I'm really sorry for you for getting you involved." After speaking, Brother Dong touched his temples with one hand, his expression was very remorseful.

"Excuse me? You mean to introduce Xiaoyan to me? That is over, and now I'm fine... Before I finished speaking, Brother Dong interrupted me, lowered his head and said:

"All who have seen the stone are dead."

What the? I only felt a bang in my head,----- what is the situation, what is the death, I am not returning, Brother Dong is not returning.

"Brother Dong, you make it clear, what is the situation and why..." I asked anxiously.

Brother Dong continued;

"The one who sold my stones, and the one who sold the stones, everyone is finished, and I only found out after the attack, and the phone call was not available to avoid danger, and all contact was cut off."

"Risk-avoiding? Brother Dong, someone wants to kill you? How so, are you hurt? I asked anxiously, my buddy is more important than stones.

"I'm fine, the kid who beat me is still tender, and he has a lot of strength, but I found out that something was wrong a long time ago, and I found a lot of people to help me, but I can't let ordinary people go."

I exhaled and relaxed.

"Brother Dong, according to what you mean, you and I may be killed right now?。。。 You, just kidding. But what does that have to do with that stone? We can't hide for the rest of our lives, I have to go to work after the New Year. "It's just weird, a small stone, it takes a bunch of people's lives, just kidding.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Brother Dong showed me a bunch of photos.

"Look, here's an inside document sent to me by my brother from the police station, and these are the people who died because of that stone."

I stood up in surprise, "So much... No way.. It's all necks, "I'm not used to seeing bloody photos, and I half-covered my eyes to read it, this is definitely not done by people." Suddenly, I felt like I had been poured a basin of cold water, and I felt chills all over. The brain is a little stuck. Is this, is this true?

Brother Dong stared at me very seriously and said; "Xiaocao, let me ask you, can you guarantee your safety when you encounter such a killer?"

I shook my head vigorously.

"So, so am I, and that's why I called you over."

I immediately gave up and sat on the couch.

"Brother Dong, how is the police, they should be able to find the murderer easily. Someone with such a lot of energy should look for that kind of big guy, like Schwarzenegger, whose target is so obvious, that he should be caught quickly, so I think we are still very safe。。。。。 "I started to speak a little incoherently.

"You are a police child, people's means are high, although there is a preliminary direction, but it is not very clear, this murderer's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and there is evidence that he is not a person."

"How can it not be clear ,。。。。" Before I finished speaking, I saw Dusty Wind stand up, walk to the coffee table, and slap it with his hand, only to hear a bang, and the leg on one side of the coffee table was broken.

"Isn't it time for us to get down to business?" He still finished speaking very calmly, but his eyes were a little impatient.

He succeeded in shutting me up. I was dumbfounded, looking at him as quiet as a scholar, he actually broke the leg of the coffee table, what does this mean? He actually has that kind of strength.

"Ah, yes, forget about business, Xiaocao, let's set off tomorrow and go to Changbai Mountain, you haven't been to Changbai Mountain yet, you have to go to bed early later." As soon as Brother Dong finished speaking, Dusty Wind stood up and left.

"Dustwind, you wait, what do you mean? This coffee table, you, your loss of money, madman, dust maniac... "I don't know where my temper came from, maybe because his actions really scared me, or maybe it was because he was rude.

Before I finished speaking, Brother Dong stopped me, "It's okay, it's okay, a broken coffee table doesn't cost much, what do you need, I'll prepare it for you here, it's a little cold in Changbai Mountain, but it's the best place to hide people's ears, those killers will definitely not find us, you can also play by the way." Listening to Brother Dong say this, I also slowly eased up.

I was invited to have dinner with Brother Dong's family in the evening, but I don't know if Chenfeng was angry and didn't see him.

Brother Dong's family atmosphere is very strange, the dinner table is full of men, and in the middle sits an elder with white hair and beard. The others should be Brother Dong's uncles, and the whole table of people looked very imposing, but I was the only one sitting there softly and glutinously, uncomfortable.

"Xiaocao, this is my grandfather. This is my dad, this is my uncle, this is. Brother Dong introduced them one by one. I quickly got up and nodded politely. The elders all greeted me, but his grandfather never spoke.

"Dongzi's classmates, come and eat more, you have never eaten this fish stew. Come. "Brother Dong's father greeted me as warmly as Brother Dong, making me no longer so restrained.

Brother Dong's grandfather actually didn't eat much, and after a while, he supported his crutches with both hands, squinting his eyes and staring at me, which made me very embarrassed.

"Xiaomeng, your hometown of Shanxi, right?" The old man suddenly spoke

"Oh, yes," I replied cautiously.

"Do you know what your ancestors did?"

"Ancestor? Well, my parents are both workers, and my grandfather was a soldier... I really don't know anything else, and then I smiled helplessly.

"Then can you know the Chen family in Shanxi?" The old man continued to ask.

"The Chen family? I don't know. I answered honestly.

"Have you ever touched a stone, or climbed your head, or played with it?" the old man asked, with a bunch of strange words.

My head was full of question marks, and my head was shaking like a rattle.

"It seems that there is really no foundation... The old man shook his head helplessly.

Uh, what does that mean?

"I..." I looked at Fuyuko in confusion. Fuyuko avoided my eyes and said, "Eh, it's okay, it's okay, eat."

No, there must be something going on, and the feeling of uneasiness is another layer.

After eating, Dongzi and I were called to the study by the old man. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a Bogu shelf leading to the roof, on which were all kinds of antiques, including vases, porcelain jars, calligraphy and paintings, and some bronzes that I couldn't name, and I was dazzled to see them. Although I don't know how to do it, the unique sense of historical vicissitudes on old things attracts me very much.

"Come here." The old man slowly walked to the bookcase, pulled out a photo, and handed it to me.

I took the picture, and there was a pile of rubble, so big, that it had obviously been excavated by hand. Could it be some kind of building stone?

"Can you see what it is?"

I continued to shake my head, "From this cutting angle, it should be a round arch thing. ”

"Oh?" The old man finally looked at my eyes and said, "Have you seen it?" ”

"No, I've studied design, so I can probably imagine what it will look like after stitching. Yo, there's a carving on it? "I flipped through the pictures and looked at them. The pattern on it made it obvious to me that there were some carvings that resembled dragon scales. I quickly put these pieces together in my head, yes, it is indeed the appearance of a dragon.

"It should be a dragon together, but why is there no dragon claw? And the style is also simple and strange. I was talking to myself.

Brother Dong slapped me with his fist, "It's okay, Xiaocao, learning to design is amazing!" ”

I smiled and thought to myself, isn't that just a three-dimensional view of things in my head? Anyone who studies design should be able to do it.

Brother Dong walked to the side and suddenly lifted a black cloth, "Come, look." ”

Because the room was very dark, I didn't notice the black cloth at first, and when Brother Dong opened it, I was stunned. A white marble, a ring-shaped thing with a diameter of nearly 2 meters is revealed. Along the ring, there is a dragon carved in the photo.

"This,,, this."

"This was found by ordinary people in the streams around Changbai Mountain, and we bought it back, and it should have been washed down from the mountain. Also found this thing. The old man pointed to the inside of the stone ring.

I took a few steps forward, and when I saw a black iron chain with the thick mouth of a bowl, rusted on it, stacked in a stone ring. It seems familiar to me. In the dream I had a few days ago, it seems that there are iron chains, so it can't be so coincidental. I reached out to pick up the chain, it was so heavy that I had to pull it with both hands, and suddenly, the chain hit the stone ring, and there was a bang, and my ears hurt. Quickly let go of his hand.

I looked up at Brother Dong and the old man, but they looked at me strangely.

I was embarrassed to say, "This ancient well is really loud when it is knocked down." ”

"Boy, you say this is an ancient well? Gujing, sure enough, no wonder. The old man looked at me with keen eyes, then stepped aside, his eyes sank and he began to think about things.

Just when Brother Dong looked at me even more strangely. Suddenly, a person ran in from outside. Before I could take a closer look, the man threw himself on the stone ring:

"Mine, it's all mine, you all go away. It's mine. ”

Then a group of people ran in, and they went up and tied up the man. Only then did I take a closer look, and the man was not very old, but his hair was unkempt, dirty, and smelly.

I hurriedly asked Brother Dong: "Brother Dong, this... ”

"It's okay, the son of an uncle in the family went crazy last year."

looked at Brother Dong's face was not good. I didn't continue to ask. After saying goodbye, he was about to go back to rest, and as soon as he went out, he heard Brother Dong say.

"Old man, do we have to go there? You see my cousin is like this. ”

I wanted to hear it, but Xiao Qi was next to him, and it was not polite to think about it. So, I walked out anyway.

After seeing so many strange things, I was a little tired, and Xiao Qi took me back to the room. As soon as I opened the door, I saw that it was a standard room layout similar to that of a hotel, and Dusty Wind was lying on one of the beds looking at my phone, so I walked over slowly.

"Just now, I'm sorry, I said it too much, if you haven't eaten, there's still a supper outside."

Dusty Wind didn't look at me, "I'm full on the plane" After saying that, he began to wash, I sat awkwardly for a while, and began to clean up, after a day of hard work, I just fell asleep in bed.
