Chapter Ninety-Five: Straight to the Point
Weekends and weekends, constantly changing and changing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½γγγγ
Come on Monday, the weather suddenly became colder, and it was enough to stand it, and I couldn't get up at all. Although I have classes, I want to sleepγγγγγγ
The bad old man came to my Beichen Xuan quietly like last time. But there was always a dark color in his body, as if something bad would happen to him as soon as he approached.
That day, I was holding a copy of "Intensive Reading of Western Literature" as usual (don't ask me why I always read books like this, on the one hand, my major is limited, and I am always asked to read it; On the other hand, it's okay to pretend to be forced. Lying on my back on the soft chair at the counter, in fact, I was lying relaxed and talking about my life ideals with Zhou Gong.
I was half-asleep and half-awake, Ah Cheng shook me vigorously on the side, opened his eyes very impatiently, and said sharply: "What are you doing, you are sick?" Can't I get a good night's sleep? β
Ah Cheng stretched out his orchid finger, which was very inconsistent with him, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, look, the old man came here again last time, looking at things there." β
I really have a headache when I must extinguish the girlish breath on Ah Cheng's body. Although I don't have people coming and going in Beichen Xuan, there are many people who come to take care of it every day, what is an old man, and how do I know who the old man is when he comes every day.
said impatiently: "People are looking at things, just go to the reception, maybe it's a rich man, call him old and dizzy, hurry up and kill him, then you don't have to live this 9-to-5 life anymore......"
At this time, a voice that I received sounded: "It turns out that Xiao He Ye taught his subordinates like this, not bad, not bad, the future is terrible, the future is terrible......"
I swear I don't necessarily hear the tone of his voice, but the tone of his voice is something I will never forget. The first time was such an opening: "Is there that cold iron in the Western Zhou Dynasty?" β
I stood up with a "swish", staring directly at the source of the voice, eager to kill him in Beichen Xuan with a knife, but I knew that since he took the initiative to come to me, it must be about tomb robbery, and maybe I would know some things about the road from his mouth.
So now I can only endure the anger strongly, and the bad old man smiled and said, "Little Master He, you sit and you sit, I'll take a look casually." β
This also regards himself as a respected old man, since he wants to pretend to be better than anyone else, I put on a businessman's tone and said: "Ah Cheng, this is a distinguished guest I met not long ago, you accompany him to see the things in our store, explain more, if you don't understand something, come and ask me again, say hello, be careful of your salary." β
Ah Cheng nodded tremblingly, I couldn't bear to see it and said, "You also know that this old gentleman came last time, he is reasonable, there will be nothing wrong, go ahead." β
The old man had been hanging out in my little shop for two or three hours, and he had no intention of leaving. During this time, I have been wondering what he is going to do this time, if I obviously don't match the news, and those who know me well know that I am a person who can hide secrets, and this can be known by a casual investigation, or is there any way for the bad old man to make me speak.
Moreover, apart from the family affairs of our old He family, I think that there is nothing hidden in my heart that is worth exploring with great fanfare. Could it be the Zhanlu Ancient Sword? Isn't that something that should have been spread a long time ago, the bad old man had already sent someone to intercept us in the middle of the road, I don't believe he didn't know that the Zhan Lu Ancient Sword was now in our hands.
Thinking about it like this, there are some unreasonable places, when those few people intercepted us, Wu Ming pretended to be dead, the little brother in black kept staring at Wu Ming, the three fat men were talking nonsense on the side, and the Zhanlu Ancient Sword was stuffed into my hand by Wu Ming, according to this statement, it is understandable that the bad old man came to me, and nine times out of ten he still wants to know the whereabouts of the Zhanlu Ancient Sword from me.
According to his current character, it is impossible for him to tell me where my second uncle is now, and the premise of this affirmative sentence is that he knows where my second uncle is now. In addition, it is impossible to know from his mouth that the next tomb robbery, the burial location of the next ancient sword, I have always had a hunch, the bad old man and the so-called Japanese Chamber of Commerce organization do not know where Oujiko's ancient swords are buried, they pretend to be the dominant person every time, but when they go underground, they still look at the eyes of others.
This was the case for the first time in the tomb of Song Sleeve, he and his subordinates couldn't find the main tomb at all, and they also made some foolish moths out, and in the end, they directly fell into the robber method. And the second time I was looking for the real Zhan Lu Ancient Sword, it was even more so, I directly chose not to participate, and only excluded a few brothers to speculate on my attitude halfway.
In fact, I have pondered many times why they didn't participate in the last fight against the old man. At first, I thought they wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but when I think about it, that's not the case at all. From the beginning to the end, it was just me and us, and there was no such thing as "fighting each other in the nest" at all.
Since this is not the case, there is only one way to say, that is, the bad old man and they don't know that the Zhanlu Ancient Sword is buried in that place. Maybe they also knew later, but it should have been a long time after we entered the ancient tomb, according to the situation, it is 100% impossible for them to come first, so we didn't see them in the fight, no matter who they were.
It seems that the old man came here to ask for something.
I closed the book neatly, moved my muscles and bones, and said to Ah Cheng: "Ah Cheng, prepare tea, please come and sit down." β
Ah Cheng instantly became shrewd, and quickly cleaned up my so-called living room, which was actually a corner of the small shop that I was extremely chaotic day by day, and made a small pot of good Biluochun into the counter, leaving a great space for me and the bad old man to communicate.
Although I wish to kill this old man thousands of times in my heart, but on the surface, I still have to pretend to be kind, after all, I am a junior now, and I have just taken over the He family's shop, according to the old man's ability, it is not impossible for him to make something tricky for me behind his back, and I don't necessarily have the ability to solve it.
I spoke first and said, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Li when he came to Beichen Xuan this time?" My guy just came to help, so please bear with me if there is any inhospitable place. The small shop is like a drop in the ocean, I can only do my best, this is the Biluochun brought back by my second uncle, you drink and see, if it's not good, I'll let Ah Cheng change it. β
"Where, I see that Xiao He Ye is thoughtful, and besides, this tea is also very delicious." Oops, old man, this is just talking nonsense with your eyes open, do you dare to take a sip before the fucking tea is good.
Silent......
Silent......
Then he fell into infinite silence, the bad old man didn't speak again, and I didn't have nothing to say that I couldn't say first, since he had something to ask me, then I opened my mouth first It would be equivalent to lowering my "price", he turned a few words, but it made me have a request for him, this is more than worth the loss, I as a businessman, the pros and cons can still be seen clearly.
At first, I was a little restless, the atmosphere of the whole room was unstable, I kept pretending to be calm, on the surface it seemed that I was sitting next to the bad old man without moving, but only I knew that at that time I was scratching my heart and eyes, and I had been speculating about the bad old man's thoughts.
Why hasn't he spoken yet?
Ah Cheng made a lot of movement like a nobody at the beginning on the side, but after we didn't speak, he seemed to be aware of the "silent molecules" flowing in the air, and even breathed very lightly, which made it even more uncomfortable for me to do something.
After all, I was still too young, and it took me more than ten minutes for me to relax. The person who came was not a flood beast, at most he was a powerless old man many years older than me, and if I had to add any title to him, he was just a "Yama Li" on the road.
For the rest of the day, I sat in a chair and relaxed, taking small sips of tea. I remember the third uncle told me that drinking tea seems simple but is actually a tedious thing, how long does it take to boil? How to pour out? What kind of tea set to take? How to drink? How many sips do you drink? And so on and so forth, they are all very particular, and I only remember to take small sips to drink so much.
Just like that, "silent and silent, never tired of looking at each other." I don't know how long I did it, but the old man suddenly coughed twice and cleared his throat. I knew he was really going to speak this time, so I quickly sat up straight and made a gesture of listening.
He first smiled silently, and then said: "Xiao Heye, the rumors on the road are wrong, it seems that Xiao He Ye is still calm." β
I replied half-truthfully: "Since it is a rumor, where is it true, and it is still said in the Tao, it is even more uncountable." β
"Oh? Is it? β
"Of course, at least for me." I knew he understood the meaning of my words, and that I was talking about rumors about him and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.
He smiled again and said: "Since everyone understands people, I don't want to be dumb anymore, so that it seems that the old man is a little boring, let's put it bluntly, I came to you this time, I want to invite you to go to the next fight with us, I don't know if Xiao He Ye is willing?"
