Chapter 303: Dialogue (I)
Hearing this, I stared at the man, he was right, since this village is the headquarters of the Eighth Office, and he, as a member of the Eighth Office, can naturally appear here, not to mention that his status in the Eighth Office is not low, and he is the captain of the Shura team.
So, I smiled slightly, and I was relieved, and said with a smile: "Captain Peng, didn't you let me go to Changsha after the New Year?" ”
Captain Peng smiled, shook off his clothes, took out a pack of cigarettes, threw it at me, and said with a smile: "It is true that you are asked to go to Changsha, and now, you have come to the headquarters of the Eighth Office, and you are also exempted from going to Changsha, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" ”
Well, he said this, what else could I say, so I had to tighten the package in my hand and ask him: "Captain Peng, I..." ”
Before I could finish speaking, he stopped and said lightly: "Dongchuan, don't ask anything, don't say anything, just follow me." ”
I sighed, didn't say anything more, lit a cigarette, and followed him as I smoked.
Soon, Captain Peng led me into a thatched hut, and to my surprise, the decoration in this thatched hut is not an exaggeration to describe it as splendid, and the most surprising thing is that from the outside, this thatched hut is quite a lot of only about 30 square meters.
However, after entering the house, I found that there were about 30 square meters, and it was conservatively estimated to be about 200 square meters.
Just when I was stunned, Captain Peng pulled me and said with a smile: "Okay, don't look at it, this is my room, if you have anything to say, just ask, don't worry about the wall having ears." ”
With that, he led me to a coffee table, where he first pulled a stool for me, then sat on a Taishi chair, and began to tinker with the tea set.
Although I don't know much about tea, I can still see that his tea set is definitely expensive, especially the teacup, which is polished with jadeite at first glance.
After a moment of consideration, I came back to my senses slightly, put the package on the edge of the stool, and then asked Captain Peng, "Captain, when I entered the village, I saw that there were two names on the archway, one was the Eighth Office, and the other was a ghost village. ”
Captain Peng said with a smile while tinkering with the tea set in his hand: "It's very simple, our eighth office is different from ordinary villages, and the names will naturally be different, strictly speaking, there are nine names on the archway, and the names that everyone sees when they come over are not the same, but your kid is more strange, and you can actually see two names." ”
I was stunned, I didn't understand what he meant, what is called nine names.
I asked this doubt, and Captain Napeng told me that it was the archway that was created by the wisdom of all the people in the Eighth Office, and there were nine names, namely: Eighth Office, Ghost Village, Desire Village, Happiness Village, Fortune Village, Blessing Village, Longevity Village, Academic Village and Career Village.
Different people who approach the village will see completely different names, just like some people who want to see progress in their careers, the name they see in their eyes will become a career village, and those who want to live a long life will see a longevity village.
His words really subverted my three views, and there is such a magical plaque in the world.
I muttered in my heart, but I didn't ask, but I heard Captain Napeng tell me again, saying that people who come to this place in general, if they are not from the Eighth Office, will be blocked from entering outside, and only the people from the Eighth Office can lead the way.
When he said this, he told me that ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to see this archway.
This made me curious, so I asked him why.
He said that a kilometer away, a large array was set up, and ordinary people could not see it at all.
Well, it's right to think about it, this eighth office itself is a snarment of strange people in the world, presumably, there are a lot of metaphysical people who can set up a formation.
At the moment, I didn't dwell on this matter anymore, so I asked him, "Captain Peng, if it is the people of the Eighth Office, what do they see?" ”
Captain Peng smiled, handed the brewed teacup to me, and said with a smile: "This, it has to be different from person to person, just like the name I saw is the Eighth Office, and what Team Leader Wang Jiong saw seems to be Fuqi Village, as for some other people, I didn't ask in detail, after all, people, who doesn't have a little secret in their hearts, but you kid, you actually saw two names, it's really weird." ”
"Weird?" I took a sip from my teacup, which melted in my mouth with a hint of sweetness.
Captain Peng saw that I drank tea, took the empty teacup, and said lightly: "Do you know that since this archway was hung there, eighty years have passed, and no one has ever seen two names, as for the specific reason, I don't know, I'm afraid only the old guys above know." ”
I stared at him tightly, not like I was lying, yes, he didn't have to lie to me at all.
At that moment, I didn't say anything polite to him, and asked him a few more questions, all of which were about the headquarters of the Eighth Office, for example, why the thatched house you saw on the outside was extremely luxurious inside.
He explained to me that in life, you have to enjoy what you should enjoy, and the reason why people work hard is to enjoy it, and he told me that there are nine houses in the headquarters of the Eighth Office, eight of which belong to the captain, and the rest belong to those old men.
This aroused my curiosity, and when I went to the village first, I deliberately counted the houses, and it seemed that there were only eight, and I didn't see the ninth at all.
I asked that question.
He laughed and said, "I'll tell you that the ninth house, only our captain can see it, you... Not enough qualifications at this time. ”
As soon as I heard this, I gave him an angry look, and talked to him for a while, it was all quite ordinary trivial matters, and I never told Captain Peng how I got here, and why the scene on the train happened.
To put it bluntly, I was waiting, waiting for Captain Peng to take the initiative to mention this, and my intuition told me that whether it was what happened on the train or coming here, it was definitely inseparable from Captain Peng.
In this way, the two of us talked without saying a word.
I don't know how long we talked, but I knew that during this period, Captain Peng changed the teapot three times, and my stomach was full of tea.
"Dongchuan, how long are you going to hold back?" Captain Peng tore open a bag of tea leaves again, poured it into the teapot, poured boiling water, shook the teapot a few times, poured the tea on the tea tray, and poured boiling water again.
I knew what he meant, he was testing me.
I smiled and pretended to be puzzled, "What are you holding?" ”
He slowly looked up, glanced at me meaningfully, and smiled, "What do you think?" ”
