I looked at my phone and could only smile wryly.

Because I refused to give up, it didn't take long for me to call the master again, mainly because I had too many doubts in my heart and wanted the master to solve my doubts, but I tried five or six times in a row, and the master's mobile phone was still turned off.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up.

Lying in bed, I thought about one thing, I never figured it out.

Since the master let me know about the soul painter and left the soul painting decision to me, he really felt at ease to let me throw stones to cross the river by myself, all by groping?

Isn't he afraid that I'm stupid and can't learn?

After thinking about it for a long time, I think there are two reasons.

First, the master has great confidence in me, and he believes that even if there is no one to guide me, I can keep groping my way.

Second, the master said that he was on the run, and it is possible that he really did not have time.

But when it comes to the escape, I have new doubts.

Why did the master run away?

Also, who is after him?

Could it be Daochang Li who caught up later?

But I quickly dismissed such speculation.

Daoist Li is willing to hand over Xiao Ran to me to take care of, how could he run to chase and kill my master? Isn't he afraid that I will take Xiao Ran as a hostage?

However, before the master left, he told me about the origin and grievances of the North and South Maoshan Mountains, that Li Daochang's spell is very powerful, and he is proficient in ghost hunting, it is obvious that he inherited the Nanmao Mountain faction, and it is inferred from the incompatible relationship between the north and the south Maoshan Mountains and rivers, Li Daochang went to chase my master, and it must not be for the sake of reminiscing.

So, what else can Daochang Li go to chase after the master for?

Thinking of this, I overturned the previous veto, and I suddenly felt that the escape that the master said was very likely to be chased and killed by Li Daochang all the way.

It's messy!

Speculation comes, speculation goes, and I'm a little confused.

Never mind!

I decided not to think about it, and I didn't want to speculate, because the more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and I was sure that the master would not have an accident easily.

A dreamless night, early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, I took Xiao Ran to leave Huazhi Village and went to the county seat together, originally I just went to the county seat to withdraw money, and then remitted it to the master, at most I went home to see my father and I went back to Huazhi Village, after all, the master left, and there was always someone to greet the family and the museum.

But Xiao Ran's eyes are inconvenient, leaving her alone at home, I will be worried even if I am outside, so I can only take Xiao Ran to the county seat together.

Three hours later, I withdrew 20,000 yuan from the bank, and then remitted it to the master, but as soon as I took Xiao Ran's hand and left the bank, my mobile phone rang.

"The master called?" I thought to myself, but I took out my phone and looked at it, only to find that it was an unfamiliar number, but this unfamiliar number gave me a very familiar feeling, I seemed to have seen it, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

I hung up.

Then the other party hit again.

I'll hang again.

The other party hit again.

I was a little annoyed after getting through, and just as I was about to speak, a woman's angry voice exploded: "Bastard, I asked you to report to the county public security bureau at eight o'clock, where are the people?" Where did you die? ”

I was so frightened by the sound of the other party's explosion that I almost dropped my mobile phone, and after hearing what the other party said, I suddenly remembered that the other party also called me yesterday, and asked me to report to the county public security bureau at eight o'clock this morning, but I thought the other party was a liar, so I didn't take it to heart.

Who knew that the other party was calling again now.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are all liars so rampant now?" ”

"What do you say? Swindler? You call me a liar? The woman questioned again and again.

"Uh, isn't it?" In fact, at this time, I felt that I was a little inconsiderate and too cautious.

Since the other party dared me to report to the county public security bureau, how could he dare to lie to me at the public security bureau?

"Chen Tian, I'm very unhappy now, you'd better show up at the Public Security Bureau within an hour, otherwise, you're dead."

After the woman gave me a very serious warning, she hung up the phone as if she had done yesterday before I could speak.

"Is it so grumpy?"

I looked at my phone and was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile, if I was still in Huazhi Village now, I would definitely not bother to pay attention to her, but now that I have come to the county seat, and it is not far from the Public Security Bureau, I plan to go and see what is going on.

After all, I'm a curious person.

"Brother Tian, the woman who called you is so fierce." Xiao Ran said softly.

"It's fierce." I nodded approvingly.

"Are you still going?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Go, why not? I wanted to see what she wanted to do. ”

The woman gave me an hour's limit, and if she could talk to me on the phone, I would have arrived on time, but she was fierce and irritable, as if she had reached menopause, and she didn't know who it was, so why should I listen to her obediently?

So, I first took Xiao Ran shopping, and then took her to the snack street to drink milk tea, every time I came to the county, as long as I was free, I would drink tea and milk, after all, there are no such things in the village, it takes more than two hours to come to a trip, and if you don't eat something, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to yourself?

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and I was still taking Xiao Ran to eat in the snack street.

After a few minutes, the phone rang.

I wiped the oil off my hands, and then I turned on and fed it.

"You haven't come yet?" The woman didn't make a thunderous sound as soon as she opened her mouth this time, but it could be heard from her tone that she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Well, it's not there yet, it's stuck in traffic." I casually found a reason to say.

"How much longer?"

"Don't rush, it's fast, I can't help it in a traffic jam."

As soon as I finished speaking, the kebab proprietress suddenly walked up to me with the grilled meat skewers and smiled: "Handsome guy, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, this is the beef skewer you want." ”

"Thank you, hostess, two more strings of squid." I smiled at the proprietress and smiled.

"Okay." The proprietress turned around and grilled the squid.

Suddenly, a woman's voice of gritting teeth came from the mobile phone: "Chen Tian, didn't you say that there was a traffic jam?" ”

"I said I was hungry when I was stuck in traffic, and there happened to be skewers on the side of the road, so I got out of the car and ate something, do you believe it?" I asked.

"Bastard."

I distinctly heard the rattle of the woman's teeth.

"Do you eat or not? If you want to eat, I'll bring you some by the way? I asked.

"Don't eat it."

"Forget it."

After I finished speaking, I thought that the woman was going to scold me, but I didn't make a sound for a long time, and when I was about to speak, she spoke.

I only heard her say in a calm tone: "Chen Tian, don't make trouble, there is an urgent matter at night, can you report first?" ”

"Actually, I don't know you, and I don't know why you have to let me report to the Public Security Bureau, if you can explain, maybe I would have appeared in front of you a long time ago, right?" I said as I ate the beef skewers.

"I don't know why the director asked me to contact you, if you have any questions, when you come, you can ask the director yourself when you have time." The woman said.

"That's okay, I know, there's still a traffic jam here, and when the traffic jam is over, I'll go again." I hung up the phone right away.

The other party hung up on me twice, and I hung up on her once, which is not excessive.

"Brother Tian, Xiao Ran has been confused by you, you said to go for a while, and lied to people about traffic jams for a while, but we are obviously eating meat skewers here, so are you going or not going?" Xiao Ran said with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll go when I'm full." The thought of the hot-tempered woman helpless against me on the other side of the phone, I wanted to see the look on her face, and I guess it would be wonderful.

"Is it delicious?"

"Uh-huh."

"Eat more if it's delicious, you don't have to save money for your brother." This is the most angry I've ever been, I can't help it, I'm in a good mood today.

"Okay."

After that, Xiao Ran and I ate for more than ten minutes and finally ate enough, and the remaining bunches were really uneaten, so I asked the proprietress to pack and take them away for me, during which the woman called three times, the first two times I refused to listen, and after the last connection, I told her that it would be there soon, and then I hung up again without waiting for her to speak.

I didn't lie to her this time, I really wanted to pass.

It took fifteen minutes to arrive at the gate of the county public security bureau, and then asked for directions to find the registration office, and when I led Xiao Ran slowly into the registration office, more than a dozen people were silent for a moment and all looked at me.

Time seems to stand still in this moment.

After a long time, I led Xiao Ran to a beautiful woman in a police uniform, and then threw the packaged meat skewers on the table, saying, "Eat the rest, it's cheap for you." ”
