I guess it must have been a call from the employer, and the phone was answered immediately.

"Is it Mr. Servant?" A very gentle voice came from the phone, not fast or slow.

I can hear that the speaker should be old.

I asked, "Who are you from Shi Huayin?" ”

The other party didn't seem to expect me to ask this question as soon as I came up, so he was silent for a moment, and then didn't answer my question, but just said: "There is a Hilton hotel outside the airport, I am waiting for you here, please come." ”

He may have said something inconvenient to say on the phone, so I didn't ask any more questions, and accepted his invitation on the spot.

After the call ended, I hung up the phone first, and he waited politely and did not take the initiative to hang up.

Yan Yanan is right, the other party is indeed a very cultivated person.

Not long after leaving the airport, I saw the Hilton Hotel sign on the side of the road, I had heard of this hotel in the past, but because I couldn't afford it, I had only heard of it, and I had never entered it.

After staying at my wife's house for so long, my style of dressing has become the same as that of my family.

Dressed in a gray Tang suit, gossip money and yang threads were wrapped around my wrists, and Tongling jade was also worn on my chest.

I'm used to seeing this kind of outfit, and I don't think there's anything special about me, but in the eyes of others, my dress is very different from ordinary people, and even my identity seems to have changed in their eyes.

In the past, when I went to the restaurant to eat, the receptionist usually didn't look at me squarely, and I don't know if it was because my dress temperament was different from most people, or because the service in the big hotel was more exquisite.

I asked him to take care of my luggage, saying that there were a lot of valuable things in it, and the hospitality was a little bit agreed.

And the so-called precious things refer to the Chinese herbs in the box.

As soon as the hostess took my luggage, someone in the distance smiled and waved at me.

The other party was an old man in his seventies, he was thin, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and had a bright silver pocket watch chain hanging from his chest.

He quickly walked up to me, stretched out his hands and shook my hand: "It's Mr. Yan, right?" ”

Despite his age, his steps are very light, he doesn't make a sound when he walks, and the handshake is just right, which can make people feel his enthusiasm and not cause others to be disgusted by too strong his hands.

When he spoke, he was also gentle and polite.

I smiled at him, "What do you call it?" ”

He immediately gave me a smile, but he said, "What's my name...... It doesn't matter, hehe, it doesn't matter. ”

Okay, don't say it if you don't want to, anyway, I'm here to do business, and I don't want to make friends, and after this time the matter is dealt with, I and the old gentleman in front of me are separated by the end of the world, and no one can see anyone.

In this case, it really doesn't matter what his name is.

The old gentleman led me up to the second floor, where he had booked a private room early in the morning, and opened the door for us with his own hospitality, and after the old gentleman and I were seated, someone soon brought me steak. The red wine was opened a long time ago, and when we entered the house, we had been awake for a while.

The old gentleman let the hostess leave, and got up again to pour me a drink.

I waved my hand: "I may have to do something tonight, I can't drink right now." Let's get down to business, what is the situation with Shi Huayin? ”

The old gentleman smiled at me: "It's still early, let's not be in a hurry." By the way, looking at Mr. Yan's face, he shouldn't be very old, I don't know which school Mr. Yan is? ”

From his tone, I sensed a hint of caution, and it seemed that he didn't trust me.

But I can't answer his question, if I say I'm only nineteen this year, I guess he will think I'm even more unreliable, and I don't know how to answer the old family.

It seems that he can only show his hand in front of him and stabilize him first.

Thinking of this, I shouted to the door, "Waiter!" ”

Immediately, someone pushed open the door and asked me what I needed.

I asked him, "Do you have a drinkdriver?" ”

The hostess nodded.

Then I said to him, "In which pocket, show me." ”

The receptionist looked confused, but pointed to the right pocket of his jacket.

I smiled at him, "It's okay, you can get out." ”

The hostess, apparently not knowing what I was going to do, was stunned for a moment before turning to leave, and gently closing the door shut.

I could see in the afterglow that the old gentleman was now looking at me with very puzzled eyes.

Just as the door was about to be closed, I immediately spread the yang line, and with a flick of my wrist, the gossip money followed the force of the yang line, and in just an instant, it passed through the crack in the door and flew silently into the hospitality's pocket.

Then I took my wrist and collected it, and the gossip money flew into my hand with a wine driver.

The receptionist outside the door probably didn't know what was going on, and still closed the door softly.

I spread out my hand and pushed the drinker in front of the old gentleman: "How old am I this year, which school and which school, does it matter?" ”

Although I still owe the fire for this hand, it should be enough for the old gentleman in front of me.

The old gentleman looked at the wine driver on the table and was stunned for a long time, and then slowly stood up and bowed deeply to me.

"I'm a mortal with the naked eye, and I've never seen a real dragon or a real tiger, I hope Mr. won't be surprised."

I smiled and waved my hand: "It's okay, I understand, there are too many liars these days, and it is also appropriate to be more vigilant." ”

After the old gentleman sat down, he sighed helplessly: "Actually, I have already found a lot of people for the sake of the little master, but when everyone came, they all swore and swore that they would be able to save the young master, but ...... But after everyone saw the young master's appearance, they either said that the matter was troublesome and they couldn't handle it, or they just did a hasty ritual and left, but the young master never got better. ”

He still paused often when he spoke, a little bit of a desire to speak and stopped, relying on the craftsmanship of three hanging coins alone, it was not enough for him to fully trust me. He bowed to me just now, which can only be regarded as a kind of politeness.

But I don't care, anyway, the honorarium is only 20,000 yuan.

I scratched my temples: "You should be the butler of the master's family, right?" ”

Old gentleman: "Sir, I am indeed the housekeeper beside the young master." ”

I said, "It's over, I also heard you call him young master, so I made this inference." Ordinary people probably don't call it that. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's get down to business, what is the situation with Shi Huayin? ”

The old gentleman immediately nodded and said, "There are some things that I have already told the person who joins me. But there are some hidden secrets that I dare not say. ”

"Then tell me what you didn't say. Hey, I have a question I want to ask in advance, why did Shi Huayin have such a big incident, but his parents didn't know about it at all? ”

Ever since I met this old gentleman, I have always spoken with a high-ranking posture, and to be honest, I can't pretend to be a little bit like this now.

The old gentleman said: "The old man and the wife have encountered a lawsuit in the past two years, and they have been in the provincial capital, and that lawsuit is very important to the master's family, and I don't dare to distract the old lady, so I have never dared to tell them about the young master." ”

First the young master, and now the old lady is calling, listening to the old gentleman, there will be an illusion of returning to the Republic of China.

And the bloody case in the old villa also happened during the Republic of China.

I interrupted the old gentleman halfway through: "Do you usually talk like this?" ”

Old Gentleman: "What do you mean, sir?" ”

"You are usually in the teacher's house, is that what the old lady calls you?"

"yes, it always has been."

Seeing that I nodded, the old gentleman said to me again: "Young master, he has not been crazy during this time, but has become a different person. ”

Speaking of which, the old gentleman stopped talking, and I didn't rush him, just waited silently.

After a long time, he continued: "In the past six months, every morning, the young master will always get up before eight o'clock and go to the courtyard to do tai chi, he doesn't know where to get a set of adult clothes and a very old briefcase, before nine o'clock, he will put on that set of clothes, carry the briefcase to the living room, write and draw on the table, and this state will last until five o'clock in the afternoon. Every day was as punctual as going to work, and during that time, he didn't seem to see anyone else, just doing his own thing and not eating. ”

I interjected and asked, "What about after five o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

The old gentleman did not respond to my words immediately, and still said according to his own train of thought: "Since the young master was born, I have always been taking care of him, and I can conclude that the young master has never learned tai chi. And when he writes and draws on the table, all he writes is some words that he can't understand......"

I immediately asked, "Do those words look familiar, but I haven't seen any of them?" ”

Old Gentleman: "How does the gentleman know?" ”

The last time I saw the Ghost Gate Pass in the Northeast Laolin, I also saw similar words, and the second master once said that those words do not belong to our world.

But I couldn't say anything like that, so I just waved my hand at the old gentleman: "You go on." ”

"The young master is like that every day, it's been half a year, and nothing has changed. After five o'clock in the afternoon, he would go to the restaurant to eat alone, in the past, the young master always ate quickly, but in the past six months, he had at least three hours of dinner each time. As soon as it was past nine o'clock, he would go to the villa that the master had given me alone. I once secretly followed the young master to see it, and I saw that every time the young master went, it seemed that someone was waiting for him at the door, and he also greeted the people in the house affectionately, as if a husband had seen his wife. But I crept up to the window, only to find the young master alone in the huge house, sitting on the sofa, chatting with someone, and often holding a yellowed old newspaper in his hand. ”

"What kind of newspaper?"

"I don't know where the young master got the old newspaper from the Republic of China, so he put it in his briefcase during the day."

"Didn't you stop him?"

"We also tried to stop the young master, but the young master didn't know what was wrong, obviously he was getting thinner and thinner day by day, but his strength was surprisingly great, four or five servants couldn't stop him, we also tried to lock him in the house, but he always came out."

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it in both Western medicine and Chinese medicine, and I've also invited the best local psychologist to come to my home. The young master's body is just weak, and there are no other problems. The psychiatrist said that the young master had a very serious paranoia, but I knew that the young master definitely didn't have any paranoia, he was ...... It's possessed by something. ”
