Liu Shangang smiled: "Of course you can't walk into the city, I have contacted Lao Zhai, let's go to him after dinner, he is just going to go into the city to see his granddaughter, and we will stop by the way." ”

I asked him, "What kind of car does he drive?" Can so many people sit apart? ”

Liu Shangang still smiled: "I've seen Lao Zhai's car, that van is usually used to pull goods, although it is dirty and broken, but the space is big enough." ”

I nodded: "Let's eat quickly, and then leave after eating." ”

It was about a little past six o'clock, everyone had finished eating, and we didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so after Liu Shangang packed up the things to use, we left the hotel together.

The guy who was watching the store on the first floor saw us come down and asked us if we would come back at night and if we needed to stay at the door, so I simply answered "no" and went out of the store.

Like this kind of guy who guards the bar on the first floor, there is one in every Jijizhuang Hotel, they are only responsible for receiving visitors and collecting money, although they occasionally go up to the second floor, but they can't enter the room on the second floor, because in the hotel opened by Jijizhuang, the implementation is the "card system", that is, if you want to stay here, make an appointment in advance, the store will ask someone to hand over the room card to you, when you come to stay in the hotel, enter the door directly to the second floor, swipe the card to enter the door. When you leave, you will take your room key card, and after a while, someone will come to your door and ask for your room card. Usually if someone enters the hotel and goes directly to the second floor, the little brother just checks the room number and never asks too much.

To put it bluntly, these little guys who watch the hotel are just outsiders, they don't know what kind of people are the guests on the second floor of the hotel, and these people will forget that there is a second floor in the hotel when they leave the hotel every day, and according to the rules of the store, they can't bring their friends or relatives to live.

I guess even the staircase that leads from the second floor to the cold underground has never been walked by the guy who looks at the store.

I once heard Senior Brother Zhuang say that the bar counter of the hotel is actually decorated with some decorations, as if the people of Longhu Mountain were entrusted to cast spells on the tables and chairs, and that kind of spell can make ordinary people like the shopkeeper forget some specific things, but it has no effect on people like us who can condense mental power.

As for who will clean the second floor of the hotel, I can only say that I don't know, after all, the business of the hotel is not managed by us.

After leaving the hotel, we walked for less than 20 minutes along the path pointed out by Liu Shangang, and we saw in the distance a small car repair shop covered with oil and dirt, which Liu Shangang said was Lao Zhai's home.

Liu Shangang came to the door of the car repair shop, and shouted "Lao Zhai" twice inside, although the door of the car repair shop is small, but the internal space seems to be very large, Liu Shangang's cry came to the door, and soon there was an echo.

Not long after, a man who looked to be in his fifties walked out of the room, still holding a rice bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and eating cold skin as he walked outside.

As soon as Liu Shangang saw him, he smiled and shouted again: "Lao Zhai." ”

Lao Zhai chewed the food in his mouth and raised his chin at Liu Shang, which was considered a response.

Liu Shangang asked him again: "When are you going to the city?" ”

Lao Zhai casually put the rice jar on the windowsill, turned around and shouted to the car dealership: "You guys are optimistic about the store, I'll go out, I won't come at night." ”

Then I heard a "huh" from someone in the car dealership, and this response also caused a series of echoes.

Lao Zhai's gaze glanced past Liu Shangang and towards us, and I found that his eyes were very cloudy, and there was an uncomfortable viciousness in his eyes.

What does this man do? How could there be such a look.

He and I looked at each other for a moment, and then said to Liu Shangang, "Let's go now." The one behind you is Master Chai's apprentice? ”

Liu Shangang laughed twice and said, "Well, this is my brother Dao." ”

Lao Zhai didn't speak, he walked into a small alley on the left side of the car repair shop, and in less than a minute, he drove back in a van that looked like some years old, he rolled down the window and waved to us, signaling us to get in the car.

As Liu Shangang said, this car is very dirty and dilapidated, but the space is indeed large enough, five of us sit in it, counting Lao Zhai is six people, but there is still a lot of space.

When the car was about to drive into the city, Lao Zhai found that I was looking at him when he looked in the rearview mirror, so he asked me: "How is Master Chai in the past two years, and his health is okay?" ”

I said, "Do you know my master?" ”

Lao Zhai wrinkled his nose, sighed again, and said, "I was almost killed by him back then." ”

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhai said again: "But if it weren't for him, I might really die." ”

Only then did I respond to his question: "My master is fine, but he is also old, and now he is occasionally sick. ”

Lao Zhai: "It's good, if I have the chance, I'll go to Shandong to see him." ”

After that, there was a long silence, and Lao Zhai's tone was particularly stiff when he said Hu, and it was not a pleasant thing to chat with him.

Later, Liu Shangang took out the map again and said to Lao Zhai: "Lao Zhai, where is your son's house?" ”

Lao Zhai: "Just tell me where are you going?" I'll leave you and go about my own business. ”

Liu Shangang was also not polite, pointed to the road ahead and said, "Turn left from here and put us on the side of the road." ”

Lao Zhai nodded and drove the car onto the left turn lane.

Under the guidance of Mr. Liu, he drove the car to the side of a construction site. But Liu Shangang was not in a hurry to get out of the car, he first carefully observed the outside environment in the car, and seemed to be sure that there was no problem, so he urged us to get out of the car quickly.

After getting out of the car, Liu Shangang led us into the construction site along the cracks in the iron wall.

Generally speaking, in addition to reinforced concrete, the construction site is yellow sand and loess, but on this construction site, it is covered with waist-high grass and even taller than people.

I looked around at the weeds that were starting to turn yellow and asked Liu Shangang, "This construction site has been abandoned for many years?" ”

Liu Shangang looked up at the high-rise building not far away that had not been completely built, like a cement shelf, and said: "It's not abandoned, this building is still bidding for the next developer." Lao Bao said that this place has changed hands several times, but none of the people who took over this real estate ended well. Some people also say that the feng shui of this place is not good, when the first developer made this building, it was originally intended to be used as a hotel, but the developer went bankrupt halfway, and then the people who took over here were either bankrupt or the capital chain was broken, anyway, none of them had good results. ”

As he spoke, he pushed aside the grass in front of him and walked towards the tall building.

On the way, I noticed that there were some construction sand piles on the outskirts of the grass, a very dilapidated cement mixer not far away, and a lot of hard hats and broken bricks scattered on the ground.

Looking at the faded and gray hard hats, I suddenly had a very bad feeling, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

The building is about to be capped, the stairs have been built, and when we walked up the stairs, Liu Shangang said to me: "Looking east from this building, you can see the business building where Yan Xiaotian's company is located at a glance. ”

I asked Liu Shangang: "Senior Brother Bao has been here?" ”

Liu Shangang: "I've been here, not only have I been here, but I also looked at the feng shui here, he said that there is a wind break in the location of this building, if you live in this kind of place for a long time, your wealth and luck will be exhausted, and your body will become poor." And he said that near the feng shui bureau like this, it is often evil spirits, and those properties near here are especially prone to haunting. I asked Lao Zhai, and Lao Zhai said that he had never heard of haunting in the neighborhood. I guess the old bag was wrong. ”

Speaking of which, Senior Brother Bao seems to be suspected of not being proficient in learning such things as feng shui.

The building has 15 floors, which was relatively high at the beginning of the 21st century, and we climbed all the way to the top floor, after which Liu Shangang took out his binoculars and looked at an office building due south.

It seems that the office building is where Yan Xiaotian and them work, and the two buildings are very far apart, separated by a very narrow street. From where we looked, we could clearly see the scene around the office building, and even the expressions and clothes of the pedestrians on the road could be seen.

But our position was in the backlight, and now it was almost night, and it was hard for people on the other side to see us.

Liu Shangang is right, this is indeed an excellent observation point.

Liang Houzai looked downstairs and said, "This place should be the downtown business district, and it is estimated that the land price is not low." ”

Liu Shangang smiled: "I don't know about this." ”

After saying that, he intently observed the office building opposite, and did not say a word for a long time.

During this time, I walked around the top floor and looked around, and although I didn't know Feng Shui, it felt really bad.

All the way from the suburbs to the city, all the houses are located in the north and south, but the building we are in is northwest and southeast, each wall of the tall building is facing the right angle of the surrounding buildings, there is a building on the west side that is much higher than this building, and on the east side is a low old building, those old buildings are not only dilapidated, but also in the more eastward position, there is a thick chimney, the chimney is very dark, from a distance, it seems that the sky in the distance has cracked, leaving a dark gap.

And today it is obviously a southwest wind, but standing upstairs, I always feel that the wind is blowing from the east, and this gust of wind seems to be difficult to disperse when it reaches the west end of the building.

Liu Shangang observed the office building not far away for nearly half an hour before putting down the binoculars, turned his head and said, "There is nothing too abnormal, but I heard Lao Bao say that on the back street of the office building, there seems to be a surveillance camera that is not quite right." He was in a hurry to come and go, and he didn't check it himself. ”

At this time, Liang Houzai suddenly said: "Huh? Isn't that Liangzi? ”

I hurried up and looked towards the office building, and sure enough, I saw Liang Zi standing at the door of the office building, he seemed to have something on his mind, and sat down on the curb before pacing the door twice.

After a while, Senior Brother Shi and Yan Xiaotian also came out of the office building, Liang Zi stood up and told them what to write with a smile, and then Senior Brother Shi and Yan Xiaotian left in a hurry, and Liang Zi sat on the road again and smoked.
