Chapter 288: In front of the gymnasium
Luo Xiaohu bypassed the main seat to the backyard, passed through the stone-framed doorway to the Sanjin courtyard, turned right and then left, and after walking through a long corridor, he came to a room behind the martial arts hall.
Luo Xiaohu stopped in front of the wooden lattice door, knocked on it, and only pushed the door in after getting permission from the people in the house.
Behind the door is an ordinary bedroom, divided into two bedrooms, the front hall and the back bedroom, separated by a screen in the middle, and the decoration layout is oriental.
At this time, Director Rhoda was sitting in a rocking chair in the antechamber, holding a book and reading.
By the light of the table lamp, Luo Xiaohu could clearly see the embarrassing name on the book, but Luo Xiaohu was used to it.
"Sit down."
Curator Luo put down the book, took off the headphones, looked up at Luo Xiaohu and asked, and after he sat down on the wooden bench, he continued to ask: "In the middle of the night, aren't you usually practicing at this time?" Why did you come to me? ”
"Something happened in the town, it seems that someone has dropped chemical weapons in the town, the poison and the source of the poison are not known for the time being, but there are many monsters transformed from people, they are ferocious and murderous, they will eat human flesh, they are killing people everywhere, their numbers are slowly increasing, and the situation seems to be slowly getting worse." Luo Xiaohu said carefully, this is what he learned from the phone call just now.
Luo Xiaohu keenly noticed that when he just mentioned the words chemical weapons and monsters, the corners of his father's eyes twitched vaguely, and the meaning was unknown.
"Do you know which force did it?"
After a while, Director Luo asked lightly, his face was like a waveless lake, calm and without ripples, as if he was indifferent to this appalling thing.
"It's not clear which force did it for the time being, so the other party's purpose is unknown, but someone has already gone to investigate, and further information will be sent later."
Although due to various reasons, the Luo Clan Martial Arts Hall has never had the ambition to expand externally, but Green Town is also their base camp, and if such a thing happens, of course they can't turn a blind eye, they have to investigate it clearly, as for how to deal with it later, that's all a later story.
"In that case, let's wait for the news, it's safe and secure away from the town, let's stay in the museum and wait and see for a while, whether it's bad or not, there will naturally be government police to deal with it." Director Luo nodded and replied, still unfazed, looking like he didn't want to meddle in things.
After all, as he gets older, he naturally experiences more things, and there are fewer and fewer things that can make him feel new, and his emotions are not so easy to fluctuate and be exposed.
"But..."
"But what, if you have something to say, Xiaohu, when did you become so spitterful?" Seeing that Luo Xiaohu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Director Luo's hand, which was originally going to turn the new page of the novel, paused, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"I also know that the martial arts hall is far away from the town, and what happened in the town can't be affected here for the time being, let alone me and my father here." Luo Xiaohu sighed and said directly, "But the problem is that Fluttershy is not in the martial arts hall right now. ”
"Huh? Where is she? Didn't you say you were going to stay in the museum tonight? ”
Although Luo Dakai has been in Dakzhou for many years, he is still the character of the Eastern Xia Kingdom in his bones, and he is still not very interested in the traditional festivals and habits of Western countries.
The algorithm of the Eastern Xia New Year is completely different from that of the West, so for the Tutlan people, the vigil Kaiyuan, which is quite important, is just an ordinary day for Luo Dakai.
What's more, today happens to be the death day of Luo Dakai's wife, so on this night in the past, the Luo family would stay in the martial arts hall.
Therefore, when Director Luo heard that Luo Xiaodie did not obey and stayed in the museum, but ran out secretly, he immediately looked displeased.
"She has made an appointment with a friend to meet in the town, and she will probably have gone to the University of Greentown, father, as you know, the university has recently held a large garden tour every year on New Year's Eve, and in addition, there will be a lot of juggling shows and novelties in the town."
"It's noisy, it's annoying, it's annoying, what's there to go to?"
"Father, Luo Xiaodie is still young after all, and she usually has nothing to do, but in a big season like now, the town is so lively, where can the little girl hold herself?" Luo Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "Father, have you forgotten? As it is today, Luo Xiaodie wanted to go to the town on this day last year, but you stopped her, so she didn't make it, and she locked herself in her room for a night, and then sulked for a long time. ”
Luo Da opened and closed the novel, rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, he recalled that when he was young, the girls around him of Luo Xiaodie's age were not noisy or noisy, they were all well-behaved and sensible, and they would only stay in the house in peace on weekdays, where would they be as active and eventful as Luo Xiaodie.
"Then you should call her back quickly, now that something like this is happening in town, it will be dangerous if she happens to run into it." Luo Dakai woke up from his memories and continued.
"Fluttershy doesn't have a cell phone, or I would have informed her." Luo Xiaohu shook his head and replied seriously.
"Then you don't hurry up and think of a way." Director Luo's tone was aggravated, and he looked at his son helplessly.
"Okay, I'll figure it out."
With that, Luo Xiaohu got up and walked out.
"Wait, if something happens, you can go to the little factory in that printing house." Curator Luo suddenly stopped him.
"Father, what do you mean......" Luo Xiaohu asked hesitantly.
"It's Gabriel's father, that self-righteous fellow, a person like him who pursues secrecy, knows all those things best, maybe he will know something, if you need to, you can go to him directly, he will not refuse."
Luo Xiaohu knew that his father and Sean had known each other for a long time, but he was not too clear about what was going on between the two of them, although the two had lived together in Green Town for many years, Luo Xiaohu had never seen any interaction between the two sides.
Listening to the tone of his father's speech at this time, the relationship between the two is obviously not very good.
Luo Xiaohu didn't say anything, just nodded and left the room directly.
There was only one Curator Luo left in the room again, he turned his head to look at the table lamp, pondered carefully, and showed an expression of memory, the bright yellow light shone on his face, and the hills and ravines were distinct.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the green town university, on the square in front of the track and field gymnasium, there are crowds of people at this time, all of whom are residents of green town gathered from all directions, and there is no trace of stopping because of the deep night.
When Gong Bing said goodbye to Miranda and arrived here from the convenience store, there was a faint sound of music coming out of the gymnasium, and it seemed that the year-end party had begun for a while.
In this regard, Gong Bing shook his head helplessly, only hoping that Rita's performance had not started yet, and it was not too late for him to come.
At this time, he had already thrown away the torn coat, and he didn't have time to go home to change his clothes, so he took off the clothes of the short-haired man he knocked down and put them directly on his body.
Fortunately, although this guy is not as tall as Gong Bing, he usually likes to wear clothes one size larger than himself, and he doesn't feel cramped when he wears it on Gong Bing, otherwise at this time, there is not even a store that sells clothes, and he doesn't know where to look for clothes.
There are two kinds of seats in the year-end party, one is completely free, as long as you come, you can enter, but this kind of seats are in the stands that surround the stage and are far away, and the other seat is located on the ground in the central area, which requires a fee and a certain relationship to get.
Gong Bing has a ticket to the center seat because of Ruita's relationship, and there will be no embarrassing situation of coming but not being able to enter.
Originally, Ruita planned to let Gong Bing come over early, and she could take him around the backstage in person, but Gong Bing missed the time, and non-related people were already prohibited from entering the backstage at this time.
However, Gong Bing was not interested in visiting the backstage in the first place, so he didn't feel sorry for it.
Just when Gong Bing was about to take out the ticket to enter the venue, he was suddenly stopped.
