Chapter 243: Returning to the Clear Water Cottage

Leaving the medical institution of the Security Bureau, Li Yiming refused Lin Lu's request to send him a car, and strolled alone on the streets of Hangzhou, looking at the familiar streets, but he really felt what was wrong with things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The slanting sun hangs high in the afternoon, but it seems particularly lonely in this late autumn, the streets are full of traffic, and the bustling pedestrians are endless, Li Yiming's thoughtful eyes swept over them one by one.

Reality? Secret realm?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Yiming went straight to the performance site of the music festival.

Standing outside the empty stadium, Li Yiming stood for a long time. There was peace as far as the eye could see, and Li Yiming even opened his perception to the fullest, enveloping the entire street, but he did not find a trace of battle.

A year is not enough time to cover up the original battle, that is, whether this is a secret realm or not, at least not the original one......

There was nothing suspicious around, except for the black Land Rover that followed unhurriedly in the distance, Li Yiming knew that it was arranged by Lin Lu.

Demon beasts appear frequently, and in front of the Dao Protector appearing, it stands to reason that this should be a secret realm, but Li Yiming's unique perception of the Holy Rank tells him that this is reality.

With a flick of his fingertips, Li Yiming took out half a pack of cigarettes from the space that had just been restored, took one out of it at random, and brought it to his mouth with a blank expression.

"Did he buy a cigarette?" The agent in charge of surveillance in the distance was slightly stunned, and looked at his companion suspiciously.

"I'm sure, he didn't." Another agent with a telescope in the car shook his head vigorously, Li Yiming's current dress was provided by the bureau, a set of clothes, a mobile phone, and 5,000 yuan in cash, which he was still responsible for preparing, and he dared to guarantee that there were absolutely no cigarettes in it, including the lighter that Li Yiming used to light the fire now......

"Record the details and report it to the director immediately." The agent picked up the intercom with a grim expression.

Li Yiming didn't care about the surprise of the two agents, he sat alone on the stone bench in front of the square and smoked three cigarettes in a row. He thought a lot, he thought of Liu Meng, thought of Li Huaibei, thought of Qing Linglong, thought of Mr. Kong, thought of the unknown building, thought of that hot and humid night, and thought of the silent rooftop.

Shimizu Thatched Cottage ...... That's where you started......

Li Yiming extinguished his cigarette butt, walked to the side of the road, and stopped a taxi.

Standing at the door of the Qingshui Thatched Cottage, Li Yiming was full of emotion, pushed open the swaying wooden door, and the lovely welcome girl in his memory was not there, but the screen that read: "Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bone, and Confucianism is the surface" is still eye-catching.

"You ...... You are deceiving people too much! The abrupt drinking spread from the hall, Li Yiming's heart moved, and he walked around the screen suspiciously, and looked in.

"Old thing, don't be embarrassed." A playful voice with playfulness, behind the screen, there are four or five young people dressed in advance sitting on the familiar sofa in my memory, playing poker around the solid wood coffee table, the room is full of cigarette butts, the strong smell of tobacco chokes the nose, and an old man who has entered the sixtieth year stands aside angrily.

"Go back and tell your boss, if you do it again, I'll call the police!" The old man trembled, and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

"Call the police? We're just spending, don't you see that each of us ordered a glass of water? Among the five young men with thieves' eyebrows, the only man with glasses said coldly.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know your minds, I won't sell this store to you." The old man shook his hand vigorously and glared at the young man angrily.

"Then we'll see! 34567 straight! A young man slammed the card in his hand on the table, flicked his fingers, and the cigarette butt between his fingers made a beautiful arc, bounced onto the exquisite wallpaper, splashing countless sparks.

"You!" The old man's expression twitched, and he stepped forward quickly, stepping on the cigarette butts that fell on the goose down carpet, as if he wanted to bend down to pick them up, but when his eyes swept to the cigarette butts scattered on the carpet, he sighed slightly, and raised his hand froze in the air.

"56789, haha, just right!" Another young man happily flipped over his cards and writhed his ass on the couch with his hands and feet.

"Phew, what the hell." The throat of the young man before squirmed, and a mouthful of thick phlegm flew out and landed on the celadon potted plant next to the coffee table, and the viscous liquid exuded a fishy smell, slowly dripping along the delicate plant.

"I ...... I'm fighting with you! The old man's suppressed anger finally exploded, and his trembling hands clenched into fists.

"What's wrong?" The young man slapped the table fiercely, and four or five people stood up at once, glaring coldly at the old man, their eyes flashing with confidence that the treacherous plan had succeeded.

In the face of the fierce and vicious five people, the old man's momentum weakened, but the madness that could be ignited did not cool down, the boundless anger and the only remaining reason struggled in the bottom of his heart, the red eyes protruded irregularly, and the blood vessels in the forehead were clearly visible.

"Who are you? , there's no business here today. The five of them got up suddenly, and finally someone noticed Li Yiming standing at the door.

"Are you married?" Li Yiming walked into the lobby expressionlessly, and casually picked up a coffee spoon placed on the decorative shelf by the door.

"Huh?" Li Yiming's headless words made everyone inside stunned. But the next moment, everyone's eyes focused on the coffee spoon in Li Yiming's hand.

The stainless steel coffee spoon with beautiful color was flipped and twisted in Li Yiming's hand, and everyone who watched was dazzled, and in just a blink of an eye, the coffee spoon with hard material was twisted into a beautiful rose by Li Yiming, and the spoon surface at the front end of the coffee spoon was also broken by Li Yiming and pressed into three leaves with unique and delicate shapes.

"If you're not married, your girlfriend should have it, give this to her. She'll love it. Li Yiming was still expressionless, and coldly put the metal rose in his hand into the hands of the stunned young man.

"You...... Who are you? The young man with glasses subconsciously took the metal rose, and suspiciously tried the authenticity of the petals with his hands, but unexpectedly his fingers were pierced by the broken leaves, and a drop of scarlet blood slowly appeared on his fingertips.

"Guest." Li Yiming said calmly, walked to an independent wooden chair and sat down, looking at the decoration in the hall with a melancholy expression.

The same arrangement, the same decoration, that day, I seemed to be sitting on this chair......

"I don't care who you are, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, we ......" The young man's words were not finished, but he ushered in Li Yiming's flat gaze, this gaze did not carry any emotion, but the young man who could be watched seemed to be stared at by a giant bear awakened from hibernation, breathing, his feet were soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Let's go...... Let's ......," the young man shouted inarticulately, and several people stumbled and rushed to the door.

"Thank you." A few people left, and the trembling old man slowly exhaled and nodded seriously at Li Yiming.

"You're the boss?" Li Yiming's stiff expression did not change at all, and he looked at the old man quietly.

"Yes." The old man nodded dejectedly, although the young man's expression was cold, the old man did not feel hostility from him.

"What about the original sisters?"

"You mean Miss Qing? Do you know her? The old man looked stunned, and there was a hint of abruptness on his face.

"I'm friends with them."

"They originally rented a teahouse from my storefront, but they quit the lease a year ago, and I renovated it quite chic, so I didn't sublease it anymore and tried to run it myself." The old man sighed, took out a clean cup, and poured a cup of boiling water for Li Yiming.

A year ago...... Li Yiming touched the stubble on his chin, and his eyes paused slightly.

"Those ...... just now"

"It was the developer who found it, the old city renovation, here to build a community, this is also a good thing, I don't know how to run a teahouse, this year down the business is bleak, just take this opportunity to sell the storefront, take care of the elderly, but where do you know, the developer actually said that the world is not peaceful recently, the property market has plunged seriously, only at the price of one-fifth of the market price to buy the store, how can I sell? It's a storefront, and it's my life's savings. ”

Li Yiming nodded, understood the key, and naturally guessed the purpose of the gangsters just now.

"Although it is true that the world is not peaceful now, and the mess is one after another, this is still reported by the news, and I don't know how many have not been reported, but this price has been pressed so much at once......" The old man seemed to have found an outlet, and sat down on the sofa with a distressed face.

"What about the other merchants? If it's an old city renovation, you shouldn't be the only one, right? ”

"They...... They all agreed......"

"Same price?"

The old man's face stiffened, and he nodded weakly.

But Li Yiming moved in his heart and sold them all? In other words, the public generally accepted this price, and the property market plunged by 80%......

"That's it, thank you today, tomorrow they come back, and I'll sell this shop." The old man took a deep breath and seemed to understand Li Yiming's question, in his mind, Li Yiming may also be found by the developer, but it is just the difference between a red face and a white face.

"You agreed to sell?"

"What if you don't sell it? I can't hold it. ”

"Then you sell it to me, and I can buy it at the market price." Li Yiming raised his eyes and glanced at the decoration in the lobby, especially the crystal lamp on the ceiling that had flickered and dimmed.

"You want to buy it? You're not ...... with them."

Li Yiming didn't speak, just looked at the old man quietly.

"The market price is ......"

"At the market price a year ago."

……

In the garden of the deep palace, a dressed concubine leaned softly on the arms of the imperial doctor, her eyes were obsessed, and she was coquettish.

The imperial doctor with a raised expression was at a loss, his trembling arm was helplessly pressed on the concubine's shoulder, his expression was struggling, and his eyes were flustered.

"Click! Very good, Sister Shui'er has worked hard. The director, wearing a multi-functional vest, stood up from behind the camera with satisfaction and greeted the water with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." Fang Shui'er nodded calmly, the shyness and obsession on her face disappeared instantly, she calmly stood up from the actor's arms, and walked to the rest area on the side with an indifferent expression.

The actor on the ground obviously hadn't come out of the play yet, looking at Fang Shui'er's bewitching back in a daze.

"By the way, director, even if my scene is finished, I want to take two days off." Fang Shui'er, who had a calm gait, suddenly stopped, and turned to the director hesitantly and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't it schedule......"

"I have a personal matter, and I want to go to Hangzhou." Fang Shui'er said with a smile, her gaze crossed the gorgeous inner wall of the palace and fell in the direction of Hangcheng.
