Chapter 55: The Future
After Pudding and I returned to Tianrenzhai, we first took a shower and then changed into clean clothes, which made us feel much more comfortable. There is still some food in the kitchen of Tianrenzhai, and there is even a carp in the large water tank next to it. I looked at the carp and drooled, but the pudding said that the carp was most likely a feng shui fish, not for cooking.
I'm already hungry with my chest on my back, who cares if this master is a feng shui fish, I only know that it is fried in oil and then stewed in sweet and sour, which is undoubtedly delicious in the world. So I cleared my throat and said sincerely: "Pudding, think about it, we don't care what kind of fish this fish is, if we leave tomorrow, it will starve to death sooner or later, right?" Instead of letting it survive in clear water, let it be sublimated in flames. My old Mo family's sweet and sour carp is a must in southern Fujian, I will make it for you to taste? ”
Pudding swallowed, pondered for a while, and then said, "Then you put less sugar." ”
Half an hour later, two meats, two vegetables and one soup were put on the table. I gobbled up the pudding, this guy was still fighting about the big carp before, and he really served me the table, I didn't even eat a few chopsticks, and the pudding even licked the marinade. While eating, he also praised: "Hey, this fish is so fragrant, it's a pity that there are a little less, it would be nice to have two." ”
I gave her a blank look at the pudding, then handed her a napkin, and said angrily, "My aunt, wipe your mouth first, you have eaten all the grains of rice in your nostrils." Pudding took the napkin, wiped her mouth, and I asked her, "What are your plans for tomorrow?" ”
Pudding said, "What are you going to do next compared to me?" Are you really going to find the Jade of the Living Dead? Mo Laosan, it's not that I said something to hurt morale, you have also seen what happened during this time, our team, with gods like Granny Zhuang and Lao Lu in charge, is still almost wiped out. Speaking of which, this is just a small "Braided Aunt Tomb", and Lao Lu said that the living dead jade is the biggest secret in this world, if you really want to embark on this road to find it, its danger must be thousands of times higher than that of the Braided Aunt Tomb. You Mo Laosan is a cat, and nine lives are not enough for you to take it! ”
I said, "Pudding, I have made up my mind, so don't persuade me." This matter is not a question of danger or not, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I have to jump in shirtless. I don't care what the secret of the living dead jade is, I'm just trying to fulfill Lao Lu's instructions before he died, this is a manly feeling, and you don't understand it. ”
Pudding seemed to have expected me to say this, so he slapped the table and shouted, "It's okay to go, then you can take me!" ”
I almost choked to death when I heard her words, and hurriedly stopped her: "My aunt, you save me worry, why don't you go to the airport early tomorrow morning, you Beijing and I Xiamen, one south and one north go east and west." If there is fate, let's see you in the rivers and lakes. ”
Pudding said: "Mo Laosan, think about it, we are not here to eat spicy fragrant pot in Bashu this time, three of us have died, this matter will be known to the police sooner or later, how can we explain it when the time comes?" If you tell the police about the yin-yang pot, people can whip you with the soles of your shoes, do you believe it? Do you think we're going on an adventure now? It's a runaway! ”
Pudding took a bite of the steamed bun fiercely, and said aggrievedly: "My work in the publishing house must not be done with peace of mind, we must avoid the limelight now, tomorrow I will go back to Beijing to settle down, and then I will come to Xiamen to find you." When it's completely safe outside, I'll think about the way forward. Before that, let's tie up a piece and run away. Besides, the search for the Living Dead Jade is no small matter, it is absolutely impossible for you to do it alone, you need help, and I am undoubtedly the best candidate. ”
Originally, I was resolutely opposed to Pudding's continued involvement with Lao Lu, but I have to admit that there is some truth in her words. Zhuang's mother-in-law Han Benchu and Lao Lu died in the tomb of Aunt Braid, although no one knows about this matter for the time being, but the three big living people disappeared for no reason, and their relatives will inevitably come to look for it, now that technology is so developed, and there are so many cameras, as long as you work hard to find it, you will definitely be able to find some clues, and then I and Pudding will inevitably be involved.
Although Pudding and I are not murderers, we can't explain Lao Lu's death even if we have eight mouths. What do you say? Say we're going to rob the grave? Isn't this looking for death? So after thinking about it, what Pudding said makes sense, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, let's talk about it after you run away. At this time, choosing to avoid the limelight is definitely the best policy.
After eating, we simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, after experiencing the incident of the pigtail aunt's tomb, we both had some fear in our hearts, no one could sleep well in this big night, so we decided that it was better to sleep together and take care of each other. So the pudding slept in the east, I slept in the west, and after a tired day, we had just closed our eyes for five seconds, and there was a deafening snoring sound from both ends of the east and west, which rose and fell one after another in the quiet heaven and human fasting.
Early the next morning, we hastily nibbled on two steamed buns, and then without delay, we took a turnaround car and went straight to the airport. Pudding is a plane at 9:45, I am a plane at 10:10, and we are half an hour apart. Pudding was a little sad and reluctant when he boarded the plane, ran over and hugged me, and cried.
I patted her head lightly and said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Bu, don't you just go back to the battalion headquarters to pack up your weapons and equipment, and settle down the soldiers, horses, food and grass a little, in a few days, won't our Red Army from all sides converge in Xiamen, don't be so sad, you see, everyone is looking at the two of us." ”
Pudding nodded slightly, and didn't bring any paper, so she simply wiped her teary eyes and snot on me, but I couldn't say anything when I saw her tearful appearance, so I took the initiative to hug her, and rubbed the snot on my chest back a little, and then watched Pudding board the plane with affection.
After this aunt left, my world was much cleaner all of a sudden, and my brain became cheerful, and I looked at my watch and there was still half an hour before I boarded the plane, so I walked to the smoking area, surrounded by a group of big smoking guns, and elegantly took out a hibiscus king with vicissitudes, and swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog.
I have made up my mind in my heart, after returning to Xiamen, I will first go to the thatched hut by the lake to get the piece of living dead jade back, and then go to the hospital to see Lao Lu's little granddaughter, and tell her the news of Lao Lu's death, although this is not conducive to her condition, but I can't hide this matter from her, at least let her know how much her grandfather paid to save her, put that gratitude in her heart, live well, as for the rest, leave it to me.
There was a flight reminder on the radio, and I extinguished my cigarette and boarded the plane back to Xiamen.
