Chapter 153: Searching for Someone

I said politely: "Brother Jiu, I was all by mistake. ๅmiscellaneousใฎๅฟ—ใฎ่™ซๅ"

Brother Jiu waved his hand: "Don't come here to be so polite." Child, are you humbling or are you politely rejecting me? โ€

I hurriedly said I didn't mean it.

Brother Xu said beside him: "Xiao Feng, don't worry, Brother Jiu is the brightest one I know, let's do things if we have something, and if we can't do it, we can't do it." โ€

"Alas, yes," Brother Jiu said, "Why did I hit it off with Xiao Xu at first sight, that is, he understands me about his temper." โ€

"So, Brother Jiu, who are you looking for?" I asked.

"Don't be in a hurry," Brother Jiu smiled: "There are still some friends in the evening, let's meet together, eat, and talk about it then." โ€

I noticed that Brother Jiu was very weak and weak, and he had to cough a few times after speaking.

The talks were over, and we were sent out. What do I want to say, Brother Xu waved his hand and said softly: "I'll talk about it when I go back." โ€

The driver took us to the car and went around to the back, where the yard is very deep and further inside are some guest houses. The driver dropped us into a building, opened two rooms at the front desk with a pass, told us to have a good rest, and came to pick us up in the evening.

The room was of a high grade and there was a suite at the back. I had just taken off my coat when Brother Xu came and threw me a cigarette.

He said: "Brother, chatting with Brother Jiu, there are no scruples, but there is one thing you should pay attention to." โ€

I asked what it was.

"Body." Brother Xu said: "Brother Jiu was born in a wealthy family, he wants money, money, power, and power, and wealth forces people to come. His biggest concern now is health problems, his health is very poor, I don't know how bad it is. โ€

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "I heard that when Brother Jiu was in a bad pain, he even took morphine to boil. He is secretive about his physical condition, and he belongs to the reverse scale, so don't mention this. โ€

We chatted for a while, and Brother Xu asked me to have a good rest, and it was likely to be a big scene at night, so I could take out some energy.

After he left, I slept comfortably, and when I woke up at night, I was watching TV when there was a knock on the door outside. The furball was lying on the bedside table and falling asleep, I wanted to take it with me, but I thought about it and let it sleep.

I cleaned up, looked in the mirror, and felt decent, and after opening the door, I saw that Brother Xu was here and picked me up.

We got in the car outside, and the driver drove us further into the yard. I don't know what kind of place it is, there are all kinds of receptions, accommodations, and meals. The last place we arrived at was a large banquet restaurant, and we were invited directly to the third floor and into a private room.

Inside is a large space, a water of antique style, hanging high ceiling, hanging ancient red lanterns, on all sides are the screens of Tang Dynasty ladies, the pillars are carved green lotus, with white lotus in the middle.

In the middle of the position is placed a table of eight immortals, there are already a few people, on it is a tea set, it is not yet time to eat, a few people are drinking tea, next to three or four cheongsam girls, gentle and elegant, not at all dusty, the smile is natural and kind.

Among these people, I saw Brother Jiu, and was about to step forward to say hello, when I suddenly saw another person, who was actually an acquaintance.

The man was drinking tea, and when he put down the tea bowl, he saw me and said with a smile, "I know you." โ€

He is Yan Yuqing, a native of Guangdong.

At that time, Wang Erdonkey came out of the hall, and he was originally obedient, but Yan Yuqing came out to make trouble at a critical time and gambled with us. Later he won and he slipped away. This benevolent brother claimed to be a descendant of the Maoshan faction in Malaysia, and he had a unique ability, and he came to the Northeast to break into the door, claiming to punch Hei Jiliao and kick Shanhaiguan, and he was so arrogant that he was boundless, but he didn't expect to become the guest of the ninth brother.

The ninth brother was quite interested: "Yo, you all know each other?" Come, come, sit together. Today, we are all fellow practitioners, and I am also half a cultivator, and I am involved in immortal qi with you masters. โ€

In addition to Yan Yuqing, there were several people at the table, including an old man and a young woman, all of whom had bad complexions, and they didn't know what the number was.

I'm secretly glad that I didn't bring the hairballs here, tonight's table is full of people in the Dao, good and evil are unknown, so be more careful.

It didn't take long for a few more people to come one after another. Everyone didn't know each other, so they exchanged a few polite words. The Taoist people who can do Ma Xian as a fragrant boy are generally very characterful, not to mention how proud, at least they feel that they are not mortals, and the tone of their speech is brought out, and they are polite and respectful.

Drinking tea with these people is not as pleasant as eating fried peanuts with Blind Li, which is quite depressing.

Brother Jiu said: "Everyone is here, let's go down the tea and serve the food." โ€

The old man asked, "Brother Jiu, who are you looking for?" โ€

Brother Jiu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, you are all guests from afar, eat first, and it's not too late to talk after three rounds of wine." โ€

It didn't take long for a long time, and all kinds of famous dishes in the Northeast were turning in circles, such as big-boned chicken, small sheep, puffer fish meat, all kinds of seafood crab roe, prawns, scallops and oysters, all of which were the end of a pot.

Yan Yuqing stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Jiu, I want to taste the seafood here when I came to the Northeast, is there any beer?" โ€

The old man sneered: "You southerners are laymen, eating seafood and drinking beer are easy to get gout, that is called looking for death, you have to drink liquor." โ€

Brother Jiu smiled, and his interest was very high: "Yes, on liquor." โ€

The cheongsam girl is like a butterfly string of flowers, and bottles of liquor come up, almost one bottle per person. Jiu Ge said: "No one is welcome today, just drink a lot, we have an old saying in the Northeast, wine is like character." It doesn't matter if you're drunk, I have a place to sleep. โ€

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone let go of a glass of wine, and took turns to toast Brother Jiu. The ninth brother did not refuse to come, and all of them came to the bottom. I went up and toasted too.

After drinking for a while, Brother Jiu's face was as red as a jujube, his breath was not smooth, and his description was extremely terrifying. Everyone looked at each other and put their glasses down.

Brother Jiu wiped his mouth with a napkin: "I'm sorry, go to the bathroom." With the help of the two girls, he went out.

When he left, everyone at our table was a little embarrassed, no one knew anyone, what was there to drink.

Yan Yuqing ate the prawns by himself, and sighed. One woman snorted, "This southerner eats like a pig." โ€

Yan Yuqing was not angry, and said with a smile: "It is said that the cabbage makes the pig arch, and my pig will arch your cabbage." โ€

The woman was furious: "If you don't brush your teeth, go home and play your mother, don't make the old lady happy." โ€

Yan Yuqing's skin is really thick, she should still eat and drink, and her mouth is slippery, which makes this woman so angry that her face is white.

It didn't take long for Brother Jiu to come back, his face was a little better, and I don't know how he got it. He wiped his hands and said, "Come, come, don't stop, keep going." โ€

The atmosphere on the table can no longer be lively, and after a round of drinking, the food is almost over. Brother Jiu was not reluctant, and said: "You are all people in the Dao, some are local gods in the northeast, and some are Taoist masters from the south. โ€

The people stopped eating and drinking, but sat and listened.

Jiu Ge said: "My ancestor was not from the Northeast very early, he was from Shanxi, and later went to the Northeast from Guandong. I heard my grandfather say that after his father and his family went to the Northeast, they met Japanese soldiers in Liaoning, and the female dependents were all sent to Kanto to serve as military prostitutes. There were a lot of labor camps in that area, and they were dedicated to digging underground fortifications for the Japanese. At that time, my grandfather's father, and his father, an old man and a young man, finally escaped from the concentration camp. โ€

Speaking of this, he took a sip of wine, "My grandfather's grandfather was old at the time, and he was frightened and scared when he ran out, and he was injured, so he died in the forest of Heilongjiang and was hastily buried by my grandfather's father. As everyone knows, my grandfather's father participated in the revolution and became a member of the team, worked in the northeast, and later followed the team to the south, fought in the south and the north, and made great contributions to the founding of New China. Before his death, his old man had a last wish, saying that in the future, if conditions permit, he must invite his father's bones out of the forest and bury them separately. โ€

Brother Jiu paused: "So please come and let you find someone, what you are looking for is not a living person, but the bones of my ancestor." โ€

Brother Jiu looked at everyone. No one at the table spoke, and those who could mix in the Tao belonged to the human spirits, and everyone had their own thoughts, and they were all weighing the weight of this matter.

Brother Jiu looked around, smiled and didn't urge.

After a long time, the old man said: "Brother Jiu, let me ask if the old man left any clues about the burial place." โ€

Brother Jiu shook his head: "This matter is troublesome, my grandfather's father was already confused before he died, and when he finally sobered up, he tried his best to recall, just to say, he knew that the place was near Qiqihar, close to the mountains and bordering the Xing'an Mountains, and there was a river nearby, and the specific location was unknown." โ€

Everyone looked at each other.

I don't have any idea at all, Qiqihar is big, where to find it. Finding a skeleton buried many years ago there is more like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Brother Jiu said: "This incident has also become a heart disease in our family, and we have mobilized a lot of resources to find the bones, starting from my grandfather's generation, until my lifetime, there is still no way." To tell you the truth, I have also invited strange people, but the effect is not good, I want to work hard again, please help me a lot. โ€

With that, he stood up and bowed to us.
