Chapter 20: A Lot of Doubts
The night, before you know it, is already deep.
In the middle of the night, in front of Xiaolou, Gao Chao and the fat man stood there at a loss, they saw Xia Qing open the door of Xiaolou, but they really couldn't figure out what Xia Qing's purpose was.
Since she opened the door, she wanted Gao Chao and the fat man to enter that small building, but what was waiting for them in that dilapidated little building? What happens when you go in? Could it be that there are some other people in the building? Or is it just a trap?
All these questions are constantly colliding with each other in Gao Chao's head at the moment, as if they are about to break his skull, but even if they break his skull, I'm afraid Gao Chao can't think of an answer.
At this time, the fat man beside Gao Chao was actually thinking about the same problem, but he had immediately come to a conclusion, so he quickly poked Gao Chao with his hand and whispered: "Lao Gao, this little girl is afraid of fraud, let's take thirty-six plans as the best policy!" ”
Although Gao Chao also wants to go, but the matter has come to this, he understands a truth, go, just for a while, but you can't go for a lifetime, no matter how far you go, I'm afraid you can't get out of the fear in your heart.
Besides, this matter doesn't seem to be as bad as he imagined so far, and the woman who calls herself Xia Qing doesn't seem to be an undercover policeman, because how could the police deal with people like them to do such a troublesome thing.
Thinking of this, Gao Chao has already decided to come down, the past will pass, no matter what Longtan Tiger's Den is, he has to break through now, he wants to take a good look at what kind of medicine is sold in this Xia Qing's gourd.
So Gao Chao whispered to the fat man: "Fat man, are we brothers still afraid that she won't succeed?" Since she let us pass, we can't go, and we'll be looked down upon for the rest of our lives, follow me, brighter moves, on! ”
The word "up" exited, Gao Chao and the fat man walked to the front door of the small building, looking at this posture, there was quite a bit of pride in the heroes who sacrificed themselves in front of the battle, but Xia Qing glanced at the two of them, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Chao and the fat man had already come to the door, Gao Chao glanced at Xia Qing at the door, and then walked into the small building, and the fat man behind him also glanced at Xia Qing, but stretched out his hand and said: "Lady first, please!" ”
Xia Qing also glanced at the fat man, but he just gave him a cold look, then shook his head slightly, and followed Gao Chao into the small building.
The next moment, the three of them were already standing in the small building, but the small building was very dim, and they could only barely see each other's positions by the light that penetrated through the window.
As soon as the fat man came in, he said, "It's so dark, where is the light?" Why don't you turn on the lights? ”
Xia Qing stood in front of him, didn't even look at him, and said lightly: "There is no light here." ”
The fat man was surprised and said, "What? No lights? So what are you letting us in? Playing hide and seek in the dark? ”
The fat man spoke indignantly, but Xia Qing no longer paid attention to him, but said to Gao Chao, who was also standing in the dark: "My task has been completed, now it's up to you." ”
Gao Chao was stunned for a moment, at a loss, so he hurriedly said, "Wait, Miss Xia, what do you mean by this?" ”
When Xia Qing heard Gao Chao say this, he seemed to be stunned, and then said to Gao Chao: "What? Don't you know what to do next? ”
Gao Chao spread his hands and said, "How do I know? I don't even know why you're letting me in. ”
At this point, Gao Chao had just begun to notice the interior of this small building.
Although it was dark in the small building, there was still some light, and the superb eyes had adapted to this darkness, so they found that the inside of this small building seemed to be uninhabited at all.
The indoor floor of the small building has already decayed into broken wooden boards, all of which are seriously deformed and warped, it seems that it should be because of the roof leakage, soaked by rainwater, and then look at the indoor wall, due to the excessive moisture here, resulting in a large area of mold on the wall, so that there are pieces of black mildew, which also causes the indoor air to be filled with a musty smell, and the indoor roof, it is even more yellow and black, and there are many large pieces of wall skin that have been broken and hung there, It seems that it could fall off the roof at any moment.
The indoor environment is still like this, but there is not even a piece of tattered furniture, and in the dark, it seems to be very empty, and even taking a breath at the moment seems to have an echo, which makes people feel indescribable.
Now, Gao Chao's feeling is like this, I can't say it, I just feel very uncomfortable in my heart, but the Xia Qing who was standing in front of him doesn't seem to be much better at the moment.
In the darkness, I saw that she sighed with some regret, and then said to Gao Chao: "It seems that you are not the person my grandfather said." ”
In fact, since Gao Chao heard that Xia Lao had a granddaughter, he has been puzzled in his heart, until now, his doubts have completely confused his thinking, he doesn't know whether this Xia Qing is true or not, let alone why she took them into this small building, and now what makes Gao Chao even closer to collapse is that this Xia Qing actually said such a thing again.
Question after question, Gao Chao couldn't bear it anymore, and he had to figure out these things now.
But he still understands that if he wants the Xia Qing in front of him to make things clear, I'm afraid it's not that simple, this is definitely not something he will definitely answer as long as he asks.
So Gao Chao thought about it and weighed the pros and cons, he decided to give it a go, but it was a feeling in his heart in the dark.
In fact, too often, people are often moving forward with that kind of feeling, and that feeling comes from a kind of subconscious in the depths of human hearts, scientists believe that this subconscious is the natural response of human beings to the future based on the memories that occurred in the past, while philosophers believe that this subconscious is completely an instinct that distinguishes human beings from animals, and is a manifestation of human talent, which can explain why in this world, there are too many inventions and creations, which are realized by human beings according to such a feeling.
So Gao Chao followed this feeling, unzipped the backpack in the dark, and then carefully took out the bronze drum in the backpack with his hands.
Xia Qing had actually been watching him all the time, and at this moment, when she saw Gao Chao take out something, she already understood that that thing should be the item that Gao Chao brought over to ask Xia Lao to palm.
Although she had guessed, she did not react, but watched quietly as the coarse cloth that Gao Chao had wrapped around slowly opened, one layer, two layers, three layers, until finally in the dim light, a touch of patina appeared in front of her eyes.
At this time, Xia Qing's spirit was already highly concentrated, and she looked nervously at the bronze drum in Gao Chao's hand, while Gao Chao was nervously observing her.
At this moment, Gao Chao seemed to have captured something, and then he wrapped the bronze drum in coarse cloth again and stuffed it directly back into his backpack.
Xia Qing's originally silent face changed slightly, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and she said to Gao Chao: "What is that?" I...... I haven't seen it clearly. ”
Gao Chao saw her like this, but he was secretly happy in his heart, but he said lightly: "It doesn't matter what it is, I'm not the person Xia Lao said anyway......"
As he spoke, he began to walk out the door, and then went on to say, "Go, fatty, we are home!" ”
The fat man has already understood it, I don't know how many times they have cooperated with this trick, and when he heard Gao Chao say this, he immediately stretched his waist, yawned and said: "Okay, we should have left a long time ago, how can this broken place accept our baby?" ”
Xia Qing is still a woman after all, she saw that the two of them really went out of the door at this moment, she couldn't help but be a little confused, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet and said, "I hate it!" Stand still, both of you! ”
Gao Chao didn't really want to leave, but before he walked out of the door, he pretended to be startled by her, and then looked back at Xia Qing.
At this moment, Xia Qing's originally fair face had a hint of redness, although this flush was caused by anger, it was still moving.
Xia Qing bit her lower lip and looked at Gao Chao with a slight frown, as if she wanted to bite him to death at once, Gao Chao was even happier when he saw her like this, but there was still a fake confusion on his face, and he said, "Miss Xia, what's wrong?" Why didn't you let us go? ”
The fat man also said ill-intentionedly: "Yohe, don't you want our brothers to play with you?" ”
Ordinary women, if they were in such an environment, and they were facing such two men, I am afraid that they would have been unable to calm down for a long time, and coupled with the fat man's hooligan-like behavior just now, it would be even more likely to shout the word "help".
But Xia Qing is not an ordinary woman, she is Xia Qing, so she is still standing there, and she actually laughed again.
It's just that this time the smile was a little helpless, a little self-deprecating, her smile surprised Gao Chao and the fat man, and faintly, Gao Chao was more sure of his thoughts, this woman is by no means simple.
He was not wrong, Xia Qing was by no means a simple woman.
Xia Qing smiled, shook his head lightly and said, "Okay, let's talk about it now." ”
When Gao Chao saw her say this, he knew that the matter had already been resolved, so he nodded and said, "Since Miss Xia wants to talk about it, how can we refuse?" Just ......"
Gao Chao grew up in Qibaoxuan since he was a child, and his chatting and speaking skills can be regarded as practicing at home, at this moment he is unhurried, and he just wants to give Xia Qing the initiative to speak, because if he wants others to say something, then he had better show weakness and take the initiative to be a listener.
So Gao Chao continued: "I just don't know what Miss Xia wants to talk about, let's listen to it." ”
Seeing that Gao Chao said this, Xia Qing had no way out, so he had to sigh lightly and said, "Okay, but I can only say that I know, if you don't understand the things, I can't explain it, because until now, I don't know very well." ”
Gao Chao nodded and said slowly, "Miss Xia, please speak." ”
Xia Qing's face returned to her previous calm, she glanced out the window, as if her eyes were far away, and then she said slowly: "This matter has to start from a month ago......
