Strange Stone Part I (4)
When everyone dragged Jin Wei, who was half-drunk and half-awake, to the counter to settle the bill, Xiao Tao knew that their bill had really been settled by Gao Zhishang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wei Fan, his girlfriend, and a few sober people couldn't help but shout injustice, and they didn't give up until Xiao Tao promised to double the compensation for them again a few days later.
Originally, he was going to have a treat today, but he was robbed, and Xiao Tao also complained helplessly.
Suddenly, his eyes swept to a figure standing in the corridor, Xiao Tao smiled bitterly in his heart, he really had a "fate" with himself! Let a few people go to take a taxi first, and under the pretext that they want to go to the bathroom, they turned around and walked towards the man.
"Hello sir, is there anything you can help me with?"
Seeing Xiao Tao walking straight towards him, the middle-aged man wearing a security uniform and a somewhat gloomy face looked stunned, but he reacted instantly, smiled politely at Xiao Tao, and asked.
"Well, it's really helping, let's come and talk!"
Xiao Tao's tone was tough with no refusal, he glanced at the man lightly, and walked towards the emergency fire escape in front of him.
The man paused for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, his eyes showed a sudden realization, and with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he followed abruptly.
"What do you call it?"
"Step awake, step by step, wake up!"
Bu Xing, who was dressed in a security suit, was not tall, about the same as Xiao Tao, with one meter seventy-two, and the complexion on his face was darker than that of ordinary people. However, at the age of about forty, the hair on the sideburns has begun to show signs of graying. Maybe it's because of the sadness on his face, and the wrinkles have deepened a lot.
"Thank you! I, I'm confused for a moment! ”
Xiao Tao looked at Bu Xing with an indifferent face, and the strange light in his eyes seemed to have ghostly magic, which made him feel weak in his heart, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was the first to open his mouth to break the silence, and bowed to Xiao Tao with a sad face.
"That person didn't pursue it, and you are lucky!"
In Xiao Tao's shining green eyes, he saw a faint "sickness" and "bad luck" exuding from Bu Xing's body, which are only found in people who have encountered misfortune and bad luck in life. From his soul, Xiao Tao saw a trace of "blessing" that seemed to be absent, which was only available to people who had a good heart and had never done anything to harm the heavens and cause evil, but at this time it was already very light.
"Is there someone in your family who is suffering from calamity?"
Bu Xing was worried about the worries in his heart, and suddenly heard Xiao Tao ask such a question, he couldn't help but raise his head in shock, with an incredible look in his eyes, he lowered his voice half in surprise and half joy, and spoke.
"You, no, master, do you know fortunes? Can you see that someone in my family is sick and can you save my son? ”
Seeing the sad face of Bu Xing, with a look of ecstasy on his face, as if grasping the last straw, he stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, Xiao Tao frowned slightly, and coughed lightly.
"Where do you live? Where's your child? ”
"Master, my son and I are both renting a house in Haidian District! Have mercy on my poor son, who has been sick for more than half a year! All the hospitals and clinics, large and small, all the ones that can go have gone, and the money has been spent, but it still can't be cured! The relatives have also borrowed all the money, and if it drags on, we adults can afford it, but the children can't afford that sin! ”
Bu Xing cried and half-squatted in front of Xiao Tao, and told him his helplessness and impulsive behavior after seeing Gao Zhishang's obviously valuable watch accidentally left in the sink, with guilt.
"Alas, I live in Fengtai District, tomorrow you ask for a leave to come to me and take me over to see!"
Xiao Tao listened to it, couldn't help but think of his students, couldn't help but soften his heart, said an address near his residence, left a phone number for Bu to wake up, and then bowed down to thank him for his gratitude, and walked to the door.
After seeing Xiao Tao's back disappear from view, he woke up and washed his face in the bathroom, and after the excitement in his heart eased a little, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the office of the personnel department upstairs.
"Whew, it's finally here, this dead fat man, it's really heavy! If you can't drink it, don't drink so much, the last one to suffer, but a few of us! ”
Xiao Tao, who was the protagonist of this party, was not drunk at all, and Jin Wei and Wei Fan, who had drunk it, couldn't control their mouths, boasting about the innocuous past while pouring bottles of beer into their throats. Fortunately, it's beer, if it's liquor, according to their way of drinking, they have to go to the hospital for gastric lavage.
"Okay, you guys go back first, it's okay to have me and Brother Yuan here!"
Carrying Jin Wei to his bedroom with difficulty, Xiao Tao looked apologetically at the three people who had drunk a lot, but were still sober and sent Jin Wei back with him, stretched out his hand and patted it, and said with a smile.
"Okay, brother, don't be so polite! We took a taxi back, remember to meet again next time! ”
Xiao Tao sent the three of them to the door of the first floor, called a taxi, and then turned back.
"Weizi really doesn't have a long memory, come, Taozi, look at this!"
After Yuan Wei took a glass of water from the water dispenser for himself and Xiao Tao, he took out a file bag from the briefcase on the side and handed it to Xiao Tao, who was sitting on the sofa and kneading his brows.
"This is what you're protecting this time?"
Xiao Tao asked in a low voice without raising his head while drinking the water in the cup while flipping through the documents and information in the file bag.
"No, my mission is in the south, this time I just came to a meeting in the name of vacation, I have already bought a plane ticket, and I will go back the day after tomorrow!"
"And what is this?"
Looking at Yuan Wei with a smile on his face, Xiao Tao shook the piece of paper in his hand with a suspicious face, which was full of information about several people, and looked up at him and asked.
"I have a bad feeling and want to ask you for a favor?"
Yuan Wei looked at Xiao Tao with a straight face, put down the water cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Tao's left hand was placed under his right elbow, and his right thumb and index finger rubbed the acupuncture points between his eyes vigorously, soothing the nerves in his sore eyes.
"Well, then tomorrow night, I'll bring someone over, okay!"
Yuan Wei on the side hung up his mobile phone, looked at the few pieces of paper spread in front of Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao, who was half-lying and half-sitting and self-massaging and adjusting, with a little smile on his face, he exhaled lightly.
The next day, Yuan Wei went out early to buy breakfast and came back, Xiao Tao looked at Jin Wei, who was still hangover and had not woken up, and laughed with Yuan Wei a little helplessly, and then closed the bedroom door.
Half an hour later, Xiao Tao, who had finished his breakfast, left a note on the table and went downstairs with Yuan Wei, both of whom had something to do today.
"Hey, step wake up, have you taken a leave of absence today, huh? Okay, I'm not far there, yes, just a few steps away! ”
Xiao Tao, who had finished talking on the phone with Buxing, sighed helplessly, pulled the backpack behind him, and walked forward.
"Master Xiao, here, I'm here!"
In a taxi, Bu Xing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window, stretched out his hand and shouted hello to Xiao Tao, his face was full of ecstasy.
"You're leaving?"
"Uh, yes! That security post was originally a temporary position, and the leader was my former comrade-in-arms in the army! ”
Although Xiao Tao was a little surprised, he saw at a glance that he was waking up from his resignation, but suddenly remembered that this was a master-level figure, and he was relieved.
"This is my cousin at home, the taxi is run by the two of us together, if you want to make more money, you can only fight some!"
Bu Xing looked at Xiao Tao who was sitting in the back row, pointed to the driver who was driving on the side, and introduced with a smile. Next, Bu Xing put his child's recent illness and the medical records of his previous medical treatment, and while talking, he took out a package of documents and told Xiao Tao in detail one by one under the suspicious gaze of the cousin who was driving.
"That, Master Xiao, we are all old and coarse, and our education level is not high, I want to ask you about your charges, can you owe it first, we have even had a little bit of food recently, that, nervous!"
Under the hint of the cousin on the side, Bu Xing's swarthy face was flushed with a faint blush, and he looked at Xiao Tao with some embarrassment and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm not short of money, just look at it! But let's take a look at people first, after all, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, no one can guarantee that you will be completely sure! ”
Xiao Tao glanced at the two casually, and dispelled the argument that he didn't want money. Otherwise, with their repeated encounters and precautions, they will really think of themselves as liars with other plans and kick them out of the car.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Tao's words, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to get nervous again, after all, it was true that they had not eaten a serious meal other than a working meal for a while.
After all, I often drive, and on the way back, I only drove for more than half an hour before I arrived at Buxing and his family, near the rented house in Haidian District.
"Okay brother, you guys go back first, and I'll go back to work!"
Xiao Tao woke up, and after his cousin drove away, the two walked one after the other towards a low rental bungalow yard.
Sure enough, there is the following bad luck! Xiao Tao, who followed behind Bu Xing, the blue light in his eyes flashed, and looked at the direction in front of the two of them, there was a trace of gray fog line floating from below, as if it was blown away by the wind all at once, but it was still looked at by Xiao Tao.
"Master Xiao, this is it! Cheap prices here, sorry! ”
Just below where Xiao Tao saw a bad luck floating out, it was the rental house of a family of three. At most, the sheep intestine path that the two of them could barely squeeze through, until they came to the end, only when they woke up pushed open a small door under the stairs, and smiled at Xiao Tao who followed behind him with embarrassment.
"Master Xiao, this is it! The smell inside the house is not very good, open the door first to ventilate, by the way, I will let the child's mother boil some boiling water, you wait for a while! ”
