Chapter 032: A Different Legend
Anyone will be numb after seeing this kind of strange thing too much, maybe it is new to her, but it is light and tasteless to me.
Seeing that I didn't speak, she pushed me with her hand: "Aren't you surprised?" ”
"What's there to be surprised about? You know everything, what else do I say? I twisted my neck, lay down on the bed, and said, "Officer, if there's nothing to do, please go back, it's not too early, I want to take a lunch break." ”
She stomped her foot angrily, and then said, "You can rest here for the rest of your life."
I'm too lazy to take care of her, this stupid old lady doesn't have any use for farts except to make a look like she knows everything.
After a few more days, to be honest, I panicked, because no one may know the news that I am here, and it is at this time that I remember to give Lin Ying 80,000 yuan.
I didn't give it to her now, and I had to let her misunderstand.
On this day, I was lying in bed watching the branches swaying outside the small window, and I was thinking about how to get out, when the policewoman came in with Shu Jin.
Shu Jin wears a pair of gold-wire glasses and a well-fitting suit, like a successful person.
After Shu Jin saw me, he reached out and pushed the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose: Since my client has no motive and suspicion, why hasn't he released him until now?
The policewoman said I begged them not to let me go, and I was about to point to her nose and greet her family.
In the end, Shu Jin took me out, and asked the policewoman to apologize to me, in fact, it doesn't matter if I apologize or not, after all, it doesn't make sense.
When I came to a restaurant, Shu Jin threw the menu to me: I stayed in it for half a month, right? Please have a good meal and order whatever you want.
I didn't say anything polite to him, and after ordering five or six dishes, I ordered a beer.
Shu Jin said: I don't drink.
I said it's okay, you don't drink and I'll drink alone.
He looked at me in surprise, and then muttered that I really didn't know what wine was good about, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.
Since Shu Jin got acquainted with me, I feel that he talks a lot, unlike when I first met, he never said a word more than what he did.
Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors.
I asked Shu Jin if he had found any useful clues after leaving for half a month this time, and he said that he did, but let me eat first, and then talk about the clues he found after eating.
So I stubbornly held back the habit of liking nonsense at the dinner table, and when I was done, he settled the bill and asked me to get in the car and go to a place with him.
When I said where to go, he didn't say anything but glanced at me, and in his eyes I saw five words of unknown meaning: 'You talk a lot of nonsense' or 'You'll know when you arrive'.
The car drove directly into the highway, and I asked him where he was going, and he said that he was going to meet a high-ranking person, because the high-ranking person said that I might have a great background, and there must be other reasons behind these people's calculations against me.
I said yes, that's an answer.
I thought to myself that the Bulls didn't know that I was out of prison today anyway, so I didn't bother to ask him for leave.
When I arrived at Marina City, he drove around to a small courtyard house, and when I stopped at the door, he let me in by myself.
I said you didn't go in? He said no, just wait for me outside.
No, I had to go in by myself, because I also wanted to see how tall this person who could be called a master by Shu Jin was.
Pushing open the heavy gate, there sat an old man with a white beard in the courtyard, who beckoned me to sit down.
I don't doubt that there is him, just this style and Shu Jin's respectful appearance, he is a proper master.
After sitting down, he pushed an empty teacup in front of me and poured me a cup of tea, which immediately filled with fragrance.
I couldn't help but say a good word of tea.
The old man said, "Oh? Do you still know the tea ceremony?
I didn't understand, but it smelled very good, and the old man smiled and said: Your name is Qiu Yan, right?
I said yes.
He said his surname was Xu, and I just called him Mr. Xu.
After I nodded, he said, do you know if your cousin is still alive? I shook my head and said I didn't know.
Xu Lao told me as if asking himself that my cousin was still alive and had been hiding from me, and what was his purpose.
Elder Xu said let me not worry, listen to him slowly.
I stopped talking.
Xu Lao took a sip of the tea in the cup and said: Your cousin may not know what he is going to do, because the initiator of the whole thing is the captain who has been staying by your side, this is a dead cycle he created, and his purpose is to get the dowry box, that is, the blood-colored mandarin duck, do you know why?
I shook my head and said I don't know, please let Mr. Xu know.
Xu Lao said: According to the legend of the blood-colored mandarin duck, this box must contain a pair of mandarin ducks and an eyeball, as for the legend to be verified, so I won't tell you first, and I'll tell you after I let Shu Jin investigate clearly, but at present, it is certain that you have an inextricable relationship with this blood-colored mandarin duck.
"What is the legend of the blood-colored mandarin duck, Xu Lao, tell me, since this thing is inextricably related to me, then you will let me have a little bit in my heart." I said with a smile.
Xu Lao may think that this is the truth, so he said: "According to legend, a scholar named Qiu Yan and a young lady of an official eunuch made a private agreement for life, but this Xiucai was the champion of high school and poisoned this young lady in order not to fulfill the marriage contract, and the young lady's unjust soul turned into a ghost to kill Xiucai and deducted his eyeballs, but I didn't know that Xiucai had yin and yang eyes since he was a child, and that eyeball was yin in the yin and yang eyes, so the young lady was swallowed by this yin eye, but the resentment is still there, it is said that ......"
"What do you say?" I was a little excited.
Xu Lao frowned and glanced at me, I felt a chill behind my back, and I felt that my performance was a little abnormal, and he saw something.
To put it mildly, a person like him who is buried in loess up to his neck can almost be said to be a human spirit, could it be that he really saw something from my performance just now?
I said, "Old Xu? What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong, boy? ”
Xu Lao said no, and then said to me: It is said that the left eye has the ability to make unpredictable prophets, and as soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted a large number of hidden masters to compete, and in the end, no one got the eyeball but disappeared with the blood-colored mandarin duck.
After Xu Lao finished speaking, he muttered like a sigh: It may be that the young lady has no feelings for Xiucai, and she can't bear to see the things on his body being taken away by people with unscrupulous intentions.
However, although there are similarities between what he said and what Mr. Huang said, they are very different, and the question is, which legend is true?
……
Coming out of this courtyard, it was already seven o'clock in the afternoon, and after waiting for the highway, Shu Jin asked me: What did the surname Xu tell you?
I asked rhetorically: What is your relationship with the surname Xu?
Shu Jin struggled for a long time before saying that the surname Xu was half of his master and his savior.
I said, how rude is it for you to call someone with the surname Xu directly? Who knew that Shu Jin said: The one who wanted to kill me was surnamed Xu, maybe he later found out that I still had use value, so he changed his identity and saved my life, he thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew it.
I laughed dryly, I didn't know how to answer this, and he asked me again: What did the surname Xu say?
I told Shu Jin everything I said to Xu Lao, although Xu Lao repeatedly told me not to tell Shu Jin when I went out, but between the two of them, I trusted Shu Jin more.
Shu Jin sneered and said: Didn't he tell you that he wanted Qiu Yan's right eye?
