Chapter 159: The Old Club
A low, hoarse voice came from behind a Taishi chair, and I squinted at the chair, which was supposed to be an old man, in a black coat, with his back to us.
"Old club, Xiao Ye hasn't returned yet." Qingxue looked at the old man and said.
The old man raised a hand and shook it slightly: "Don't worry, he will definitely be fine, Hongqing They will not really kill him." ”
"Qingxue, who is he?" Hearing this old man mention Hongqing, I inexplicably felt that this person was related to Hongru, plus his age, and Qingxue's name for him, could he be?
"This must be Xiao Jiu'er of the Qing family, right?" The old man asked.
"I'm Qing Jiu'er, who are you?" I looked at him.
He slowly turned his face sideways, and the short and fat man stepped forward quickly, about to reach out and help the old man to his feet.
The old man waved his hand and refused to be helped by the man, pressed the armrest of the Taishi chair, and slowly stood up.
When he turned around, I was stunned, my God, how could there be such an old face in the world, this face was covered with dense wrinkles and spots, there was no black hair in the gray hair, the whole body exuded this kind of dying wood, and the coat on his body was like a shroud, as if he had crawled out of a coffin.
I looked at him stunned for more than a minute, if it weren't for Qingxue's slight cough, I don't think I would have reacted.
"Scaring you?" He raised his eyes and stared at me.
The cloudy eyes have already distributed the whites of the eyes and pupils, and I feel that the whole eyeball is yellowish and black.
"Qing Jiu'er, this is Hongru's old club." Qingxue turned her face sideways to me and reminded.
"The old club?" This is the person I've always wanted to meet? But now that he is standing in front of me, I am a little confused.
Isn't Xiao Lengyan a person who has been on guard against Hongru? Why did you suddenly cooperate with this old club of Hongru? What's going on?
Countless questions kept swirling in my head, and I didn't know how to speak for a while.
In the end, it was the old boss who spoke first: "Qing Jiu'er, you should have a lot to ask me, right?" ”
"If I ask, will you answer?" I looked at him and felt that it was not that simple.
If he really wanted to tell me, in the past three years, he would have been able to explain everything to me.
At this moment, I even looked at Qingxue with some suspicion, thinking if she should have betrayed Xiao Lengyan and Hongru's people to cooperate, right?
"You don't believe me?" The old boss looked at me, his cloudy eyes unblinking.
"I'm going to wait for Xiao Ye to come." I said, taking a step back.
At this time, I think I must be cautious in my words and deeds, otherwise whenever I say the wrong thing, it will be very good for me and Xiao Lengyan.
"Hehehe, hehehe." When the old boss heard me say this, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter was very terrifying, and the laughter was very hoarse, which made people feel very harsh.
The rats on my back shrank into a ball, and I said in a low voice: "Ninth Master, our luck is too bad, just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den." ”
"I have been taken by Xiao Lengyan for a few years, and I am really a lot calmer, and I am no longer a frizzy little boy." After the old boss finished speaking, he waved at me and motioned for me to come over.
I stood still, overwhelmed and overwhelmed.
The mouse on his back whispered: "Ninth Master, don't go over, this old man is so weird, it's crazy to look at." ”
"Hmm." I whispered.
Qingxue stretched out her hand and grabbed my arm: "It's okay, the old club and Xiao Ye have already negotiated and will work together." ”
"But, before Xiao Ye?" I looked at Qingxue, didn't she try her best to not let Hongru's people know about the relationship between her and Xiao Lengyan?
Qingxue saw that I still had concerns, so she pulled me aside, and whispered: "It was the old boss who came to us first, he had already seen through my identity, and said that this time I really hope to cooperate with Xiao Ye to solve the secrets in the fragment together, the third fragment has actually been in the hands of the old boss all along, and the boss behind the hidden market is the old boss." ”
"What?" I listened and looked at Qingxue in amazement.
In this way, it makes sense, Xiao Lengyan is completely passive to cooperate with this old club this time, because, the third fragment is in the hands of the old club, and it is impossible to grab it with Xiao Lengyan's own strength, so in the end, he can only choose to cooperate.
"Hey, the brother who snatched the photo, didn't he lose a fortune? Spent a high price and got nothing? "The rat was lying on my back, and I didn't forget to interject a sentence or two.
"That Mr. Zhang, he didn't have the idea of beating the fragments behind his back, and the old boss just gave him a little lesson and beat him." After Qingxue finished speaking, she gave me a look and asked me to pass.
I nodded, put the mouse down first, the mouse stood crookedly, Qingxue kindly went to help him, he simply fell directly into Qingxue's arms, pretending to hug Qingxue weakly, and his nose was still smelling on Qingxue's body.
Qingxue looked displeased, but she didn't push the mouse away.
The bottomless eyes of the old club stared straight at me, I pursed my lips, very nervous, but still walked towards him step by step.
As soon as I walked in front of him, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my wrist, I was startled and instinctively wanted to pull my hand back.
However, this old man who seemed to be on the verge of shriveling up was surprisingly strong, but he didn't want to attack me, but to take my pulse.
Figuring out what he meant, I stopped struggling and let him grab my wrist.
After taking the pulse, the old club's snow-white eyebrows frowned together, and he also sighed.
"Qing Jiu'er, it seems that you have also begun to change." As he spoke, the expression on his face was somewhat lost: "It seems that the generations of your family have not come up with a way to suppress beasthood. ”
"If there was a way to curb the beastification, my father and grandfather would not have died so miserably." I deliberately mentioned my father and grandfather to see if my old club would take the initiative to tell me about the events of that year.
As a result, the old boss raised his eyes and looked at me for a long time before he said: "That's why we need to cooperate with each other, if your grandfather had known this truth, he wouldn't have ended up like that." ”
The old club's answer was vague, and he didn't mention anything about my father and grandfather.
I could only look at him and ask directly, "Who was the person who killed our whole village back then?" ”
"It's a ghost face!" The old club said without hesitation.
"Ghost Face?" I immediately thought of the people in the tomb, those wearing red ghost masks.
"That's right, if it weren't for this ghost face, we would have found all the fragments a long time ago, he has been holding us back all these years, but it doesn't matter, this time we will succeed soon." When the old boss said this, he paused and looked at me: "Qing Jiu'er, you must trust me, I hope you don't follow the old path of your grandfather and your father." ”
I stared at him with my eyebrows, didn't speak, thinking in my heart that if I couldn't bear it, I would make a big plan, this old boss opened his mouth and closed his mouth to talk about trust, but he didn't mention the matter of hiding my father's "corpse" at all, how should I trust him?
After two hours of driving, the car finally came to a very remote shanty town, which was very dirty and full of beggars lying on the ground.
