As soon as Principal Zhao shouted, Old Man Xu hurriedly went to the kitchen to pick up a kettle, nodded and entered the office, and closed the door with him.

The curtains were originally drawn, and as soon as the door was closed, people outside could not see inside.

At this time, Old Man Xu straightened his waist, and the person who nodded his waist was replaced by Principal Zhao.

The feeling of the stars holding the moon just now is still in my heart, I have been angry since I was a child, and I finally raised my eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, how can I be willing to give up this beautiful feeling.

In the eyes of Principal Zhao and me, Old Man Xu is the key to all problems.

Seeing that Old Man Xu sat down, I believe he already has a countermeasure.

Only he can solve this matter, and he can also help me resist Hu Sangu, who is hiding in the shadows and cursing me with witchcraft.

And at this time, I can't ask for help from my grandfather.

I have already asked Xu Da stunned, it was not he who notified him when his grandfather came home last time.

Xu Da was stunned that he didn't have his grandfather's contact information, and neither did I, so I could only count on Old Man Xu.

Principal Zhao nodded his head, what face do I have, I can't put it down.

I hurriedly lifted the kettle, poured a glass of water for Old Man Xu, picked it up and handed it to him, and said, "Master Xu, you drink it first." ”

"Mr. Xu, when the crowd was surrounding Huangshan just now, I inadvertently walked to the edge of the puddle to take a look, and I saw a reflection on the water, it seems that this thing, as you said, is really not simple."

After Principal Zhao finished speaking, he let out a long breath.

Obviously, after Principal Zhao saw the reflection outside, he was quite frightened, and he always wanted to tell Old Man Xu, but there were many people outside and he couldn't say it, so he was not lightly choked.

"Principal Zhao, what reflection do you see?" I hurriedly asked.

"What he sees must be his own reflection." Old man Xu took a sip of water and said.

I said how do you know, and I turned to look at Principal Zhao again.

As a result, Principal Zhao was surprised, and said Xiao Huang, what Mr. Xu said is right - Mr. Xu, the reflection appeared and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and you were facing away from the puddle at that time, how did you see it.

"I didn't see it, I guessed it, and I can guess that the expression on that reflected face was not at all the same as you at the time."

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, Principal Zhao's face changed again, and he immediately regarded Old Man Xu as a god.

"Mr. Xu, what you said is right, when I saw the reflection, I found that the reflection was clearer than when I looked in the mirror, just like I dreamed that I was in the water."

When Principal Zhao said this, he clutched his chest, and it seemed that recalling the situation at that time scared him again.

Old man Xu pointed outside, motioned to Principal Zhao to hurry up and said, there are still so many people outside, waiting for us to go out and make arrangements.

"It scared me so much just now that I almost couldn't hold back the scream, I must have had a frightened expression on my face at the time, but that reflection, instead of fear, smiled at me, it was so weird!"

I imagined what happened to Principal Zhao at that time, and said that if it were me, I would be scared too.

Old man Xu slapped his thigh and said Okay, I'm finally sure what that thing is, although it's very difficult to deal with, but as long as I find out where he comes from, at least tonight, I can still keep him from doing evil.

"What about tonight?" I asked at the same time as President Zhao.

"After tonight, let's figure it out! For me, there is still plenty of time, I believe I can think of a way, Xiao Zhao, next, after you go out, arrange those merchants to leave, they are all in a hurry to do business, people in Cao Ying's heart are in Han, and staying will not help much. ”

Old man Xu was right.

Merchants have a way to make money, as long as the school develops, the business of Lao Cai is self-explanatory, they don't have to sharpen their heads to drill into the school, looking for cleaning and dormitory jobs.

Not to mention other merchants, it was Xu Da and Datou, who had been staring at the direction of Lao Cai just now.

The noon meal is approaching, Xu Da is stunned and Datou, waiting to go back to the meal to start the fire and do business.

The villagers of the two villages are different.

Xu Daochang's warning is there, they can't go to Ranhuling to collect medicine, and they are unwilling to farm with their backs to the loess facing the sky, but they are staring at the big fat of the school.

Therefore, Old Man Xu left the villagers behind, retaining people who could really contribute.

"What about your men, when are they coming?" Old man Xu asked Principal Zhao again.

"The families of the two drowned workers had already arrived in the county town in the morning, and I was afraid that the news would leak out and cause a bad impact, so I asked my subordinates to take those family members to the hotel, so they had to keep an eye on that side, and they would not be able to come for a while."

Principal Zhao said this, looked at the watch on his wrist again, and then said: "Although my people can't come, the pumping machine and another group of workers will be here soon." ”

Old man Xu lit a cigarette, and after taking a puff, he had an idea.

"It's just right that your subordinates don't come, they stay in the air-conditioned room all the year round, they don't have the yang energy of the croppers, and they can't help when they come, those workers who pump water, don't stay until you meet, you can give as much salary as you want, leave the pumping machine, and the people will be sent away."

Principal Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said that there were only these two groups of secretly unconvinced villagers.

I couldn't help but feel happy.

I said in my heart that the two villages were fighting openly and secretly just now, and Principal Zhao, who was emotional, had already seen it in his eyes, and what kind of mountains and rivers were beautiful and the people were simple, those were all polite words he said.

Old man Xu shook his head and said: "The simpler the group left, the better I can judge who has a connection with the things in the puddle, I can be sure that the people in the two villages don't know the secrets in the puddle, and in addition to the people in these two villages, whether it is a merchant or a worker who sends a pump, whoever has to stay will be suspected!" ”

I was shocked, I didn't see who was suspicious of the people outside just now.

It seems that the rice is not eaten for nothing.

Old man Xu has eaten more than me for decades, and I can't compare to my judgment of things at all.

Xu Laotu snuffed out the cigarette butt and emphasized: "Wait a minute, no matter what situation happens outside, Xiao Zhao, you have to leave the villagers of the two villages behind me, this is the key to the matter!" ”

Principal Zhao said Mr. Xu, you can rest assured!

When the door was opened again, Old Man Xu pretended to clean up in the office, wipe the table, clean up the ashtray trash can, or something.

Principal Zhao and I walked out one after the other.

At the entrance of the construction site, a series of horns sounded.

A group of workers tricked by Principal Zhao came over with a pumping machine.

Principal Zhao waved his hand to the two village chiefs, signaling them to be calm and take me over with them, and let the workers move the pumping machine off the pickup truck first.

Principal Zhao saw that the pump had been moved down, took out two bundles of money, and slapped them in the hands of the foreman.

"This is the money for the brothers' hard work and the money for renting a water pump, there is a little trouble here today, the villagers have come to make trouble, if you want to get some benefits, you should go first."

When the foreman saw that there were hundreds of villagers on the construction site, all holding sickles and hoes in their hands, he really thought that he had come to the construction site to make trouble and ask for money, so where did he dare to stay and mix.

And there was no work, there was still money to take, the foreman and a group of workers did not say a word at all, packed up their things, drove the pickup truck and left.

Foremen and workers, walking cleanly.

I said in my heart that it seems that the person who has something to do with the puddle is definitely not among them.

Excluding the villagers on both sides, it seems that the person who is secretly playing ghosts is in the merchants of Lao Street.

Which one will it be?

As long as it's not Lao Bai, and Xu Da is stunned, it doesn't matter who he is.

Principal Zhao and I walked to the edge of the crowd, and Principal Zhao cleared his throat and spoke.

"Merchants, I can't delay your business because of a little thing here, Boss Mi, you take them back, when I am busy for the past two days, I must put a few tables, and invite the bosses who are here today to eat."

"The leader is polite, then I'll go first." Lao Bai was in a hurry to grind tofu, and left after speaking.

Xu Da was stunned and Datou didn't know that there was danger here, so they greeted me and left.

The other merchants are gone, leaving only Mi Mancang and Xiaotong's mother.

I looked back over there, and Old Man Xu was carrying a trash can, staring at it while emptying the trash can, and raised a finger at me.

What Old Man Xu meant, Mi Mancang and Xiaotong's mother, there must be something wrong with one of them.
