Everyone knew what the festival meant to me, and for a while none of the three of them spoke, and the old clock on the wall walked up and down, making a sound like a gear turning with every frame. Invisibly, I felt as if there was a huge wheel of time squeezing towards us.

If you can hide, you will escape; If you can't dodge, you will be crushed.

After being silent for two or three minutes, the black bull coughed dryly and said, "Little brother is right, since we can't hide, let's solve it as soon as possible!" After the last festival, the two of us will find a way for you, that is, to rob them, and I will also snatch the three gold jewelry plates for you! ”

Gao Moli still looked calm, but I read a kind of perseverance in his gaze. That kind of perseverance comes from the depths of the heart, worthy of a thousand years!

What should come will come, and perhaps, we should enjoy the calm before the storm.

I picked up the water that Gao Moli had drunk and poured a few sips, and said, "Okay, the arduous task is after the festival, before that, we should enjoy it quickly." ”

The black bull picked up the knife and said while cutting the braised meat: "This is like words!" When you encounter a mountain, you want to open a road, and when you encounter water, you want to think about how to build a bridge! Let's learn from those monks who have a wide heart and a fat body, and when a monk hits the bell for a day! One day's peace is a day's free! ”

"Makes sense! However, the monk doesn't open meat, so I collected your piece of braised meat on behalf of the Buddha! With that, I threw the dry jerky to the black bull, took the braised meat from his hand, and feasted on it.

Gao Moli glanced back at the wall calendar, walked back, and sat on the single sofa.

The black cow didn't care about me, and said poorly: "Yes, this piece of braised meat, just as I am happy to help others and subsidize children in poor areas!" Tomorrow I'll go into the city, and you both need something, make me a list, and I'll buy it together." ”

After eating and drinking, we discussed it, made a shopping list, handed it to the black bull, and he took it into the city to buy the next day.

Professor Kang has no TV or computer at home, and time flies very slowly. Gao Moli may have long been accustomed to this loneliness, he nestled in the sofa, flipping through Professor Kang's obscure archaeological seeds, occasionally supporting his head with his arms, and closing his eyes for a while.

The black bull was like a sharp spinning top on the buttocks, and I was dazzled by his shaking eyes, so I simply turned out a pair of old-fashioned chess pieces from under the bookshelf, put it on the stone table in the yard, and played with the black bull all afternoon.

Finally, when the sun sets and night falls, this day is about to pass!

Before going to bed, Black Bull took out his shopping list and added another item at the back - Beauty Magazine! And with a pen on the back of the key mark, add an exclamation mark.

The night in the suburbs is exceptionally quiet, and the leaves in the courtyard rustle in the night breeze. There are few cold stars in the sky, the moon is like a silver hook, and in the distance, there are occasional roosters and dogs barking, which makes the village more and more empty!

I stood alone in the courtyard for a while, and when the cold air hit, I shivered, so I had to turn around and go back to the house, and lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

I didn't wake up all night, and I had a good night's sleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn outside, and I had an extra blanket on me, neatly and neatly, and I don't know who put it on it.

There was a rattling sound outside the door, and I realized that it was raining.

Gao Moli was standing at his desk, looking through old photos of Professor Kang's work, and when he heard me get up, he turned his head to look at me.

I looked around, saw no shadow of the black bull, and asked, "Where did the black bull go?" ”

"It's in town."

I heard the torrential rain outside the door and muttered, "It's raining so hard, and it's not easy to ride a motorcycle?" Why didn't this guy wait for the weather to clear before going? ”

"Didn't ride. He said hello when he bought things yesterday, and there is a shuttle bus into the city in the village, which runs once a day and departs at seven o'clock. He got up early in the morning and drove into the city. ”

With that, the water in the kettle boiled, and a shrill alarm sounded. Gao Moli put down the album, walked over and skillfully unplugged the electricity. I took two buckets of instant noodles, skillfully tore open the lid, and brewed them with hot water.

I sat on the sofa worriedly, watched Gao Moli busy with interest, and asked, "Do you still use an electric kettle?" ”

He probably found the question a little funny, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he replied, "Yes, and I will have a lot of things." ”

He put the instant noodles on the coffee table and continued, "Are you curious about my past? Well, after eating, I'll show you something. ”

Gao Moli may have sensed my strong curiosity and offered to show me something. My heart was full of anticipation, like a child anxious to solve the mystery, and hurriedly ate the instant noodles.

I put the paper bowl down, wiped my mouth and asked, "What is it?" Take it. ”

Gao Moli was stunned for a moment and asked, "You ate it before you soaked it?" ”

I said poorly: "I'm not in a hurry, besides, instant noodles are cooked, soaked and eaten is called soup noodles, accompanied by eating is called mixed noodles, and dry eating is called crispy noodles." My way of eating it is called crispy instant noodles, and it has a unique flavor. ”

Gao Moli couldn't help me, pointed to the old-fashioned suitcase behind the door, and said, "Just put the things inside, you can open it yourself." ”

The brown suitcase was typical of the Republic of China style, with only one handle, flat and square, like a simple signal transmitter.

At that time, when Wuju Island was attacked and we fled in a panic, the old patriarch handed the suitcase to Gao Moli and said that his things were ready. I was very curious at the time, what is there to prepare for a person like Gao Moli who travels alone in the world, his suitcase looks very light, what is there?

I took three steps and two steps, took the dark brown leather case and placed it on the coffee table, ready to open it, only to find a hidden lock next to the handle. The dark lock was a shiny bronze color, and it rarely seemed to be opened.

I joked to Gao Mo leaving: "Don't eat it yet, go and bring the copper pith sword, lend it to me, I can split this copper lock." ”

"Even if you give it to you, you won't be able to take it." After that, Gao Moli leaned over, stretched out his hand and pressed under the copper lock, and the bright copper lock was like a blind, and it opened with a bullet, revealing the combination lock inside!

I was surprised and asked, "So advanced!" It's not ...... Combination lock? ”

Gao Moli nodded, and replied while turning the password: "A foreign teacher sent it." ”

There are three rounds of numbers in the combination lock, and each round is ten numbers from 0 to 9. I saw Gao Moli turn the 5 in each group of numbers to the middle, and when he turned to the third group, there was a soft "click", and the suitcase was opened.
