Chapter 22: The Affair of the Underworld
"You know him so well?" I asked.
"My master's fucking virtue is just two friends. A Lu Xiannian, an old smoker. Every time he chats with me, he either brags about his own, or about Lu Xiannian and the old smoker. My ears are calloused, can I not know? Wei Xuan said.
"Braised duck head and spicy pig's trotters are easy to do, and the phoenix tail stir-fried with green peppercorns and sharp peppers is a bit difficult!" I said.
"As long as you have money in your pocket, can you handle such a trivial matter as chicken butt?"
Wei Xu found a shop and bought two bottles of Moutai, he said that the old smoker likes to drink this the most, but because he is poor, he can only drink it every time Zheng Chengsheng invites him to drink.
After the wine is bought, it's time to prepare the old three.
Braised duck head and spicy hoof flowers are very easy to do, and they can be done in braised vegetable shops and Jianghu restaurants.
The dish of double pepper phoenix tail is more troublesome. Wei Xu found a restaurant specializing in roast chicken, and asked the boss to slaughter all the chicken butts to us after other guests ordered chicken. I waited there at five o'clock, and waited until half past nine in the evening to get twenty or thirty chicken butts.
The amount is not too much, but with more green peppercorns and sharp peppers, you can barely fry a plate.
With wine and food in hand, we took a taxi to Datong Street.
When I arrived at the door of the old smoker's house, it was already 22:50, and I was about to knock on the door, but Wei Xuan stopped me.
"When you get ten minutes away, don't rush for a while. When the time comes, the old smoker will naturally open the door. Wei Xuan said.
"Isn't our master an old friend with him? Didn't you open the door 10 minutes earlier? Besides, didn't you knock on the door during the day? I asked.
"It's definitely someone knocking on the door during the day, and who knows what it is at night. The most taboo thing for corpse chasers is the knock on the door at night. Wei Xu said.
Dealing with corpses, driving so many corpses, there is really no guarantee that they will be recovered. The job of a corpse chaser, if you are not a bold person, you really can't do it.
Not a second, a second is a lot, and when the time came, the door made of the coffin board "creaked" open.
There was a black kerosene lamp lit on the table, and the room was a little dim.
"It's all in this age, why don't you use electric lights?" I asked.
"The corpse chaser can only light an oil lamp, and only when there is a fire can he be sure. The thing that corpses are most afraid of is fire. The old smoker said.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. The old smoker kept chatting with us, and as for the matter of hitting the copper street, he didn't say a word. Wei Xu, this guy, only cares about eating and drinking, and doesn't ask.
"You two really want to take care of this?" The old smoker asked.
"If you can manage it, you can manage it, and if you can't manage it, you just need it." Wei Xuan said.
"In my house, not only the door is made of coffin boards, but even the bricks on the walls are made from the tomb. We're going to have this meal for almost an hour. The old smoker looked at Wei Xu and asked, "How deep is the water in Copper Street, do you know clearly?" ”
"I don't know, but I don't want to worry about it anymore. O man! You have to be self-aware. Wei Xu said.
After eating, Wei Xu and I took a taxi back to the hotel.
"The old smoker didn't say anything, why didn't he care?" I'm a little confused.
"You don't understand." Wei Xudao.
"It's because I don't understand that I asked you!" I was speechless.
"You don't understand." Wei Xuan said.
If you don't tell me, it's like someone doesn't hear it.
In the next few days, Wei Xu and I didn't have anything to do, we played all day long. Wei Xu's guy bought two mobile phones and gave me one, saying that it was convenient to contact.
"It's boring to play like this. It's all spent on your money during this time, and I can't follow you for the rest of my life, right? So I decided, I'm going to look for a job tomorrow. There is something to do, and the heart is not empty. "I told Wei Xu very seriously.
"Looking for a job? If you have a degree or not, if you have no ability, what kind of job can you find? Wei Xu asked me.
"It's always okay to go to a restaurant and brush the dishes!" I said.
"It's only 800 yuan a month to brush dishes, and in addition to rent, water and electricity, you can only eat porridge and pickles every day. As Lu Xiannian's apprentice, don't you feel ashamed of your master's face when you live this kind of life? Wei Xuan said.
"Playing like this every day and wasting your life, isn't there a shame?" I asked.
"Didn't Ouyang Chuchu leave a phone number for you? Call her one. Wei Xu said.
"Why are you calling her?" I asked.
"You won't, but I will! Anyway, being idle is idle, isn't her family very rich? If you can drive Pajero, then go and kill her! Wei Xuan said.
"You're so extravagant and wasteful every day, you're running out of money, right?" Others don't know Wei Xu, don't I know him?
"Talk like you're useless." Wei Xuan glanced at me and said, "The reason why I use the money so quickly is because I have the motivation to earn it when I run out." ”
"Do we really care about Zhou Jia?" I asked Wei Xu.
"Although the ghost ran away, he was injured by me after all, and he will be able to recover in less than three or five months?" Wei Xuan said.
"It's another three or five months, and if you say that, three or five months." I said.
"It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and the ghost hurts the soul, just like a person hurts the muscles and bones, and it takes so long to recover." Wei Xuan said with a serious face.
I dialed the mobile phone number that Ouyang Chuchu left for me.
"Hey!"
A very nice female voice came from the earpiece, it was Ouyang Chuchu's voice.
"Remember me?" I asked.
"Who?"
I could hear her voice, but she couldn't hear me, and I thought I was at a loss.
"I've found someone who can solve the matter of your house. Half an hour later, picked us up at the gate of the Intercontinental Hotel! ”
Without waiting for Ouyang Chuchu to speak, I hung up the phone after speaking.
"That's all you have to do with women. The more you hold her, the less she cares about you. The more you don't care about her, the easier it is for her to take you to heart. As a physiognomy master, as a capable man, in front of women, you have to hold your noble head high, just like your master. Wei Xuan said.
"So Lu Xiannian has been a bachelor for a lifetime." I was speechless.
"Hit a single?" Wei Xuan was happy and laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Lu Xiannian told you that he beat a bachelor?" Wei Xuan asked me.
"Do you need to say it? I can see it myself, I don't even have a teacher, what is it if I don't beat a single? I said.
"His affairs are too many to count, and you don't have a master because that old rascal doesn't know who to marry!" Wei Xu, this guy, seems to really know a lot of things about Lu Xiannian!
"Tell me about it!" I, as a person, still like gossip, especially Lu Xiannian's gossip.
"I'm boring when I tell you, you have to get it out of Lu Xiannian's mouth yourself, that's interesting." Wei Xudao.
was talking to Wei Xuxian when the mobile phone rang, it was Ouyang Chuchu calling.
"I'm at the door of the hotel, where did I die, get out of here!"
This Ouyang Chuchu, why are you so fierce to me! After the murder, he didn't give me a chance to fight back, so he hung up the phone directly.
"Beautiful women are fierce, you have to get used to it." Wei Xuan said with a hippie smile.
There was a Pajero parked in front of the hotel, which was driven by Ouyang Chuchu.
Wei Xu and I both walked to the side of the car, but she didn't get out of the car to greet her, and she didn't even roll down the window.
"You don't even say hello, you're too rude!" I said.
"He's the guy you said could handle the affairs of the underworld?" Ouyang Chuchu rolled down the window of the car and pointed at Wei Xuan and asked.
"This little thing, Xiaodao can still solve it." Wei Xuan said.
"Two little kids, get in the car."
When he sees a child, he is fierce, Ouyang Chuchu's bad habit must have been developed as a teacher.
I thought that Pajero would drive towards Nanhu County, but the car went directly around the city, and then on the national highway. Judging from the direction, this is going to Longgang Field!
"Where are you taking us?" I asked.
"Look at the house! My family's ancestral grave is in Longgang Field. Ouyang Chuchu said.
"No wonder I can meet a big beauty like you in Longgang Field, it turns out that your family's ancestral grave is buried there!" I said with a sudden realization.
"Be serious!"
Listening to me say that she is a big beauty, she is obviously very happy, but she deliberately puts on a cold face towards me. Women are such animals as incomprehensible and unreasonable.
I don't know if I dislike me or what, even if I take the initiative to chat with her, Ouyang Chuchu can't spit out a good word in his mouth. I can't even talk to her properly, so I naturally don't have anything to say to her.
Wei Xuan was already snoring, and I was bored sitting in the car, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
"Still sleeping! Get up! ”
It was Ouyang Chuchu's voice, and in addition to hearing the sound, there was also a sharp pain in his ears.
was pulled, and my ears were pulled by Ouyang Chuchu. She was very ruthless, twisting it while pulling it back, which made me feel painful.
"Why are you squeezing me?" I asked.
"If you can't wake up, then wake up." Ouyang Chuchu said coldly.
"He's sleeping too, why don't you pry him?" I pointed to Wei Xu, who had just woken up from his sleep and was yawning.
"I don't know him well."
Ouyang Chuchu's answer made me speechless.
"You two flirt, don't do it in front of someone outside me, right? We Taoists talk about cultivating the mind, and we can't mess with the red dust. "Wei Xu, this guy, is embarrassed to talk about cultivating the mind for all the obscene things he did?
"Two little rabbit cubs, no big or small, think I can't cure you, don't you?" Ouyang Chuchu put his hands on his waist and said angrily.
"My master is over 70 years old, and he can't cure me. You little girl, you still want to cure me? Wei Xuan glanced at Ouyang Chuchu and said, "Friendly reminder to you, I invited me here to deal with the affairs of your family's Yin Mansion." If you want to offend Xiaodao and make me angry, you can ask Gao Ming to go again! ”
I went to Nanhu County to show Ouyang De for almost half a month. If you can invite Gao Ming, Ouyang Chuchu can drive to the Intercontinental Hotel to pick me up and Wei Xu?
