What I am saying at this moment is that I did not mention the tacit understanding with Li Laodao after I had already guessed. If there is anyone who really wants to help me when I am facing such a predicament today, except for my biological parents, it is only Qin Wuye or Qin Wuye's subordinates.

Li Tong thought for a while and shook his head: "I really haven't heard of this name." But ......"

I hurriedly asked, "What?" But what? ”

"There is an old lady surnamed Hu next door, and my father and mother have to call other people's aunts...... The old man met with Grandma Hu a few days ago, and then the old man asked me to come to you today. ”

"Grandma Hu?" I was shocked, "Not tall, just over 1.4 meters, full of wrinkles, that old lady with small feet in Zhouzhuang?" When my grandfather Li Gui died, she presided over the funeral. A few years ago, she also brought her aunt and grandmother to help Boss Li and their little grandson see a doctor......"

After my description, Li Tong patted his head and said, "Isn't it...... I still know that...... Oops, sorry, I was busy with work and didn't go to see you...... I heard that you were smashed by someone, and Grandma Hu sent you home. ”

"Huh? Alas, alas. Don't talk nonsense. Are you saying that Grandma Hu and Uncle Li Dao have met, and they are saying that something big is going to happen to me? "I seem to have grasped something, and I seem to be guessing.

Li Tong jumped up and said with a frightened face: "You want something big to happen?" What's the big deal? Robbery or death? ”

I smacked my mouth a few times and waved my hand at him: "Pull it down, it's time for you to play this chess." I'll just say it casually. ”

Li Tong laughed awkwardly a few times before sitting down again.

"Don't get out of the car, do you want a cannon?"

For a moment my thoughts came alive, and after a while they became a mess again. I pointed at the chessboard with my fingers in annoyance, and before I knew it, I lost to Li Tong.

"Do you have any other toys in the house? Do game consoles have them? Li Tong saw that I had no intention of playing chess after playing this game, so he immediately proposed, "I spent my salary some time ago to buy a game console, a 4-to-1 card, which is very expensive." ”

I rolled my eyes and pulled out the SE (Sega Corporation, or Sega) game console I bought last year from the cabinet under the big back TV. I opened one of the side cabinets on the cabinet and showed Li Tong a full yellow cassette tape. I said proudly: "That is, Cao Zhengyi doesn't like to play games, otherwise I would have remembered this thing a long time ago...... What's the matter, let's have a plate? ”

No matter what era, no matter how old the man is, except for the special case of Cao Zhengyi, I believe that the charm of the game will move from this man's ignorance to a more naïve old age.

"Brother Li......" Li Tong was obviously shocked by the cassettes in front of him, and he was a little uneasy to speak, "Brother Li, if I had known that you had so many good things, I swear that no matter how busy I was, I would have taken the time to see you." ”

"Don't be. It's not too late, I'm still missing a yellow cassette called "Fire Dragon", so I'll buy it and give it to me as compensation for not coming to see me when I'm seriously injured. ”

Li Tong shouted and skillfully installed the equipment, picked up the pistol model equipped with the game console and said, "Come on, let's start, I'm ready." ”

"Your mother...... Alas......" I just pointed at Li Tong with my finger, and then turned around and found a shooting game for him, "Let's talk about it, you have to find a way to get it for me." ”

Li Tong responded again and again: "Don't worry, we are all people who talk and count." ”

Look, the nature of our Li people is so upright. As soon as I heard about the play, the corners of my eyes bloomed, and the cassette of "Fire Dragon" is not seen on the market now, so I can only find acquaintances to buy it from Japan. I'll admit that I have a grudge against the Japanese, and although I can afford to buy what is known as the best game cartridge to date, I don't have to worry about the Japanese and the Japanese having to buy it on my behalf.

Li Tong played a game here, and I was also hot at this time, but there was always something I couldn't let go of in my heart, so I picked up Big Brother and walked to the balcony to call the fat man.

I walked out to the balcony and broadcast the number waiting for the fat man to answer the phone. With the phone in one hand, I lifted the corner of the curtain with the other and looked around. To put it bluntly, I still have a weak heart, I know that Li Laodao is capable, but I can't guarantee how many people Li Laodao can defeat with his fists.

This look, in this dark night, in this dark night that is not too late, the neighbors who usually walk around did not appear at all, and it was quiet everywhere, only the not small wind whining on the glass.

I unconsciously shuddered, and the phone was connected.

There was a lazy voice from the fat man's side, as if he had just woken up from his sleep. He said, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine. I'll ask you how the situation is going over there, I'm afraid something will happen to you. ”

"Don't worry, there are police officers following me now. Ercui and I found a guest house next to the station, and we will catch the earliest train back tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, oh. That's good, that's good. Stay safe, preferably we can meet tomorrow. ”

The fat man yawned, and his voice was a little fluttering: "You still have something else, right?" ”

"It's fine." I insisted, "We'll meet tomorrow." "I turned Li Laodao's words around three times in my head, and finally decided not to tell the fat man about this somewhat mysterious hypothesis, which would only make him more troubled.

"Well, let's meet. By the way, Li Xiao, are you at home now? I told Mayor Wang that he would send a few investigators around our building in the evening......"

My eyes were hot, and I almost burst into tears: "Well, I'm at home, don't worry." You don't have to worry about me, you and Ercui pay attention to safety. When you get back, you'll be at least a little safer on our ground. "I am only saying this to comfort the fat man, where is the safe place now?

"Well, let's not talk about it for now. We'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Okay, you must take care, fat man."

Hung up the phone, I immediately felt a lot of emotion in my heart, a fat man is a fat man after all, and he is my best brother.

I hung up the phone here, looked into the darkness a few more times, and saw that I couldn't see the reason, so I was going to turn around and play games with Li Tong. As I pondered how many secrets were hidden in the darkness, Big Brother rang the bell in my hand.

I picked up the phone and casually said, "Hello, who?" ”

Chen Ergou's voice came from the other side of the phone, and he coughed violently a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, where are you now?" ”

I frowned, opened my mouth and replied, "What? I am home. ”

"That's fine, that's fine. You listen to me......" Chen Ergou was silent for a while, and after more than ten seconds, his voice came out again, and he explained, "I just responded to Director Liu of our police station. Listen to me, don't go out tonight, our film management will send someone to protect your personal safety. ”

"Huh? Did something happen? I pretended to be stupid.

Chen Ergou "squeaked" a few times before he said, "Li Xiao, do you have a four-six?" What are you doing today? Is there a dead person in front of the store? Chen Ergou paused, didn't wait for me to reply, and said, "Yes, the brother won't have anything to do with you." Li Xiao, I'll just tell you this, there is a big man above who gave me a breath, and there is a group of Northeast people in the mountains who want to play with you. The above decided to use you as meat (bait) and catch turtles in an urn. ”

"What? Catching turtles in the urn of the fart is to lure the snake out of the hole. "I was stunned for a moment, it can't be those bunch of quilts, right?

Chen Ergou laughed awkwardly a few times and said, "That blue and white porcelain vase from years ago...... That's all I can't say. My brother is so good at talking that he asked Director Liu to send the police to protect you. The set up is at your store, and I heard that there was an accident at the entrance of your store this afternoon...... Aren't we afraid that those Northeast people will be frightened and go to your place to live? Speaking of which, these Northeast people are really ruthless, more than 60 armed police officers sealed the mountain, and still let a small half of them run. ”

I slapped my head: "No wonder, I said why did the police come to the police a few minutes after someone died in front of my store......"

"Now that you're home, it's easy to do. After a while, I will inform the eldest brothers on the road again, and ask them to find a few cadres (who are familiar with hands, and have been stained with blood) to settle this matter for you. Brother Li, you can sleep at ease, my brother will do this for you. ”

Chen Ergou is this temper, doing good deeds without leaving a name is said to **, the meaning of his phone call is obvious, just to make me owe him a personal favor. I knew it in my heart, so I nodded: "Brother Chen, I'm relieved to have you say this." Why did I still touch all day today......"

"Little things. Sleep well and have a sweet dream, Brother Li. The limelight has passed, Brother Chen, I will give you a drink to suppress the shock. Put your mind at ease, we don't have anything on the market that your brother Chen can't do, come openly. I don't know too well who Chen Ergou has been playing with recently, and he has a lot of courage when he talks, "Sleep, I won't disturb you." Back! Back! Go back, Brother Chen, I will set a table for you and introduce to you the brother-in-law of the new development director of our bridge west district. He said it well, industry is prosperous, your set is too dangerous, we want to engage in real estate, industry and prosperity! ”

I heard that Chen Ergou had drunk a lot of wine, so I hurriedly stopped the topic: "Brother Chen, let's talk again one day, I still have guests at home here." Let's talk about it, we two must have a few drinks. ”

"Oh, do you hear that? Hahaha, there's nothing else, your brother has settled everything for you. Let's talk about it later, let's pay for it, one and a half, I'll take care of the official, let's build two fucking buildings......"

Chen Ergou still wanted to express some grand ambitions to me, but the phone hung up directly. I didn't think to call him back again, and I guessed about what he did.

I thought to myself, first Li Laodao appeared to protect me, then a fat man begged for a big man, and now Chen Ergou helped me find someone by mistake, my reassuring pill is a little too big. In any case, the central point of all things, if I expected it to be right, is that the tomb thief took Ash San to see it, and then happened to be picked up by Wang Yi of Hejia Town, and finally I collected and was snatched by someone with a heart and the bronze mirror in the Tongzhi period.

The Hall of Eternal Life, called the Hall of Eternal Life, does it represent the word "Eternal Life"? If it doesn't represent the word "immortality", why does Li Laodao talk to me about the way of immortality?

The stars were sparse, the sky was gray, and my thoughts were drifting away. Once upon a time, in the Japanese military base in Taihang Mountain, didn't that bottle of brown potion turn people into immortal monsters?

For a moment, I felt as if I had grasped something extremely important. A lot of times, we're all the same. Maybe it's the moment you stop, maybe it's the gap between chatting and speechless, or maybe it's in your sleep, there is a fleeting aura, but you can't catch it.

I had just thought of the key point, when a few lights flashed outside the window, and when I immediately fixed my eyes to look, the sound of "crackling" gunshots reached my ears.

In a short time, the direction of my oblique side was full of fire, and I looked at it from afar, and it turned out to be the location of my "Wufeng Gift Shop".

I pinched my thigh hard, but there was nothing I could do about it.

My screen that is not sold for less than 100,000 yuan, my Taishi chair of the Song Dynasty, my emperor's edict received from Chen Tingjing's descendants, and the authentic fan of Liu Bingzhong in the Yuan Dynasty...... Half of my life was burned with a fire.

I covered my heart tremblingly, my feet were weak, my eyes were black and I almost passed out, and this retribution came too quickly.

Li Tong, who heard the noise, came behind me at some point, and when he saw that my legs were weak, he helped me. He grabbed me with one hand, lifted the corner of the curtain with the other, glanced at it and said: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good day to kill people and set fires, and the old man will not deceive me." ”

I shuddered and broke free of his hand and leaned against the balcony door. I said, "Li Tong, if you have a cigarette, let me have one." ”

Li Tong turned sideways, groped with his hands on his body for a while, and took out cigarettes and matches. He lit a cigarette and brought it to my lips. He said seriously: "What? Scared? ”

His words stung me deeply, but I didn't have the strength to deal with him, so I took a puff of cigarette, and then tremblingly put the cigarette between my fingers.

"You...... What the are you ...... It's the fear. My money, my half-life......"

Li Tong smiled, smiled at me, and smiled very seriously.

Li Tong slowly lit a cigarette and said, "Didn't I tell you just now?" 'The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good day to kill people and set fires. That's what the old man taught me. ”

If anyone can hold back at this moment and not scold the street, I will recognize him as an ancestor. What I want to do most at the moment is to press a cigarette butt on Li Tong's face.

"Look at the way you look like you're going to eat people." Li Tong shook his head with a disappointed expression, "Forget it, tell you." The old man told me to take someone to drive a tractor on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and broke open the backyard door of the 'Wufeng Gift Shop', and snatched out more than half of the items inside in an hour. ”

Li Tong's face turned pale, leaned back, and leaned on the windowsill. He took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled several smoke rings, which he interspersed with his index finger. He added: "'Wufeng Gift Shop', this name is familiar, right?" ”

I squinted, and without paying attention, the cigarette in my hand fell down my fingers to the ground.

At this moment, from between the two fingers where the cigarette came out, Li Tong's hand, which was still playing with the smoke ring, flicked forward, and the movement was surprisingly fast, and the three fingers immediately grabbed and pinched the cigarette holder and held the cigarette in front of my eyes.

Li Tong said slowly: "The old man said that at three o'clock and fifteen, you will close the door of the store and leave, at this time, as long as we move fast enough, you will not find that we have entered the door when you pass by the back door." The old man said that in an hour's time, he expected someone to break into your shop after 4:15 and try to kill and set fire. Alas, you say how embarrassed I am, while I have to help you clean up your things, and at the same time, I have to try not to let people after you find out that you have missing things in the house. By the way, I've put all the stock in your backyard in the front room. I don't understand either, you just put valuable things in the store, and all the worthless goods are hidden in the backyard......" After Li Tong finished speaking, the cigarette in his hand was almost gone, so he simply threw the cigarette butt at his feet and extinguished it.

I retched a few times, not knowing if it was because of the smoke or the stimulation between Li Tong's words. The movement of the opposite is the use of the weak. I thought I was smart all my life, but I was stimulated by Li Tong so much that I almost collapsed, this Li Tong clearly let me see another Lu Fengqin - the soft knife is also a killing weapon.

Li Tong looked at me quietly, as if he was watching an innocuous performance. He said softly: "The words are clear, then I might as well tell you one more thing, I am also here to protect you, I believe you are also very clear about my strength now." Even you have a good friend by your side who has been arranged to protect you from the first moment he stays with you. ”

I struggled, "Why?" ”

"Why?" Li Tong's eyes showed an innocent blankness, "How do I know." The master said that if you see the shop burned down and you can't break it, then it's still a deal between us. The master is moved to cherish talents. ”

"I ...... ......" a thousand words, and in the end I can only choose this one.

There was a dog barking outside the window, and I could easily tell it was a big dog. The big dog had just barked over there, when Li Tong suddenly grabbed my neck with one hand, grabbed my head into his arms, and turned his palm into a knife with the other hand, and slashed at the back of my neck.

For a moment, I lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of my eyes.

When I woke up from the bed in my bedroom the next day, Li Tong had moved the TV and game console from the living room to my bedroom, and was sitting on the floor playing games.

My throat was extremely dry, and I licked a few mouthfuls of foam from the roots of my teeth and swallowed them into my stomach.

Li Tong didn't reply: "Wake up?" There is water on your right, it was hot water last night, and now it is cool and white. ”

I put one hand on my neck and sucked a few times, the pain still didn't go down, and with the other hand I took the cup and poured a few mouthfuls of water. I cleared my throat and asked, not without fear, "Why did you knock me out last night?" ”

Li Tong turned his face sideways and glanced at me very seriously: "Do you want to see murder too?" ”

I quickly waved my hand and said cautiously, "I said...... Where did you put my home? ”

"Oh. You're talking about those things. I don't think you've been seeing you lately. Li Tong paused the game and turned to look at me, "I don't know if you've ever met a kind of person who can roughly deduce where you've been and what you've done in the past two years from the furnishings of your living place and the things you often play with." Unfortunately, the customer we did with wanted us to bring your collection to him, and I guess that this customer is the kind of person I described. And—your home is frequented by people when you're not at home, and it seems like it's only in the past two months. ”

I had no doubt that Li Tong could say anything shocking, so I said calmly: "It's only been two or three months since I moved here. ”

"You're a very lazy person, I have to say that. If you know what trace science is, I'm interested in talking to you...... When I was in college, I had the privilege of becoming a close friend with a local expert in trace science who was also the vice president of the Wushu Association, or to be more precise, a year-old friend. Forget it, I won't feel strange if anything strange happens to you, the old man can stay by your side for seventeen years, what weird thing can't happen to you? Li Tong's eyes flashed with curiosity, he is a person who spares no effort to confess his thoughts to others, and I have thoroughly understood it. I can call his behavior casual, but it might be more accurate to say that he is willful of someone with real skills.

I barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Do you think I'm going to talk to someone who I thought I knew, but was actually just giving me a false face?" ”

"You asked a good question. I still know a little bit about philosophy, and the question you asked could have been written in a question of dozens of scratch papers. So, let's cut a long story short, what you think is false is just that you don't understand, and when did I give you a false face? My main social survival is a veterinarian, but you can't deny that I pay attention to some heavenly Taoism, a little bit of philosophy, even a little bit of theology, and a little bit of martial arts. I have an all-encompassing master who taught me to respect my master, to be obedient to my parents, to be kind to my friends, to be cruel to my enemies, to be indifferent to passers-by, and to be cruel to the wicked. So you tell me which one is the real me and which one is the masked me? Li Tong smiled lightly, that pride came from self-confidence.

"You are sophistry. You were trying to get close to me, and you're insincere to me......"

Li Tong interrupted me, and his voice was slightly raised: "Well said." Isn't everyone who is close to you with a plan? Parents give birth to you to raise children to prevent old age, the master teaches you to repay your kindness, friends kiss you for good and wealth, who else has no plot against you? ”

"You are sophistry......" I was stimulated by Li Tong again, and after a violent cough, I hurriedly picked up the water cup and drank water.

Li Tong shook his head: "Let's only do it once, I'll say a few more words to you from the bottom of my heart." After this deal, I don't think we'll ever see each other again. Li Tong paused and said, "Think about how much you have changed in the past two years, you are careful with people everywhere, and if others give you a little favor, you will allow people money and goods and then cut off your robe, and your indifference to human feelings is even more than mine." I don't get along with you for a long time, but I can see that you are selfish, cowardly, and afraid of things, if you are not blessed by the Quartet, how can a person like you sit on wealth and lie deep in a high house? ”

Li Tong calmly said resentful words, but at this time, I suddenly calmed down. I said: "I seem to have heard the confession of a person who has achieved great results on his own hard work but still can't compare to someone who was born to win at the starting line. I get it. The moment you come into contact with someone, your mind, for whatever purpose, harbors malice, then all your pretense is just hypocrisy. Furthermore, I tell you plainly, I can't choose my surroundings, and I don't even know who I'm protected by. I can only rely on the instinct to avoid evil...... I'm just a human being after all, and if I don't even want to make myself good, and I don't even have this right, then there won't be any right person in this world. ”

Li Laodao squeezed open the bedroom door with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The child can be taught." Li Tong, I said earlier, Li Xiao is inferior to you in terms of martial arts, talent, character, and appearance, but this wisdom root alone can be met but not sought, one in a million. ”

"You're ugly." I was originally resentful, and in terms of language, my self-confidence exploded instantly after I beat Li Tong down, and I didn't shy away from this Li Lao Dao, so I opened my mouth and said, "Uncle Li Dao, I can figure it out now, you two are working together to calculate me." ”
