Chapter 14: The Return of the Old Clam
Seriously, since I was a child, Chu Ying has never spoken to me in this tone, when I was a child, she was like a younger sister, following my ass all day long, like a follower; When we grew up, we met again after not seeing each other for several years, and the feeling was still there, she was both like a younger sister and a little stubborn little girl - after knowing each other for more than 20 years, this was the first time she had spoken to me very seriously and even a little indifferently.
I suddenly felt that all the things that had happened in the past year or so, those bloody cases, those strange cases, and the things that the toad had done to her that were not as good as a beast - and so on and so forth, had changed this originally sunny and straightforward girl into a person. Her heart has become extremely fragile, and she still has a big grinning surface, but it is difficult to hide the little girl's heart she has begun to show, in the end, no matter how female she is, she is an ordinary girl, that's all.
So much has happened in the past year or so, and she has begun to yearn for a hug, a safe harbor, and a lover with whom she can stay with her for the rest of her life. However, this person will not be me, and it will not be Brother Gu Rui, whom she has been in love with since childhood......
We have really grown up, and we are no longer children in open crotch pants and sand pits, but Ben San young people who can't catch the tail of youth, reality, will eventually tear apart our childhood little by little, gray our flower season, and bid farewell to our youth.
Before I knew it, the sky outside the window had darkened, and two lines of tears overflowed from my eye sockets - we could never go back to the past.
"Knock, knock, knock-" Three knocks on the door, I wiped my tears, thinking that Chu Ying was back, hurriedly went over to open the door, but I didn't expect to see the second uncle's face.
"What's wrong with Chu Ying's girl?" The second uncle also seemed to see that Chu Ying's face was wrong after going downstairs just now, so he hurriedly came up to ask.
"She ......" I hesitated, but still said: "She said that she wanted to marry Xu Zeming!" ”
"Huh?!" When the second uncle heard this, he almost fell headlong: "Marry Xu Zeming?" Hahaha......"
"What are you laughing at!" I was a little annoyed: "She said very seriously, very seriously! ”
"You're stupid!" The second uncle was about to laugh out of tears: "Think about it, she wants to marry Xu Zeming?" Will Xu Zeming marry her?! Chu Ying's father is the first secretary of the municipal government, how will it help Xu Zeming? Xu Zeming is now hanging on that Xiaomin, and he can't wait to marry her as soon as possible, so that he can get on the old man's big ship and marry Chu Ying's girl? What is he trying to do?! ”
"Yes, yes......" I ignored this, but quickly came to my senses: "That's not right! Even if it's the same as you said, in case, in case that Xu Zeming takes care of Chu Ying, wouldn't it be more troublesome! ”
The second uncle was stopped by me, the smile on his face disappeared, he paced a few steps in my room, and muttered: "Well, this matter may not be so simple, I think about it, but I think of a few things." First, Lao Chu has encountered some troubles recently, and his teacher has also landed passively and smoothly, so Lao Chu needs to find a new backer to overcome this hurdle; Second, Xu Zeming has been staring at us for so long, it is impossible not to know Chu Ying's existence, and he should know everything about the relationship between you and Chu Ying, it is impossible for him to really like Chu Ying, it is likely that he played a chess move, and when it is useful, he will throw out Chu Ying, who has already taken the bait, to contain us. ”
"Oh my God......" I lay down on the bed decadently: "Why are you so intrigued, you just have to live a good life, what's the point of spending your mind fighting back and forth!" ”
"Third." The second uncle ignored me and continued: "Do you think Chu Ying, this girl is stupid? ”
"Don't be ......stupid," I sat up, "When she told me just now, she actually said it quite clearly, she knew everything. ”
"That's not it." The second uncle said with a smile: "Chu Ying can only use Xu Zeming, but I'm afraid that if I really move the truth, it's hard to say." Okay, you can't care so much, go downstairs and eat. ”
I answered, went into the bathroom and washed my face, followed the second uncle downstairs, and before I reached the first floor, I heard a "crackling" sound in the restaurant downstairs, as if someone was eating.
I looked at my second uncle and hurriedly walked down, and I saw a sturdy figure sitting at the dining table with his back to us, and there were piles of clam shells on the table in front of him! Looking further, I saw the Seventh Master sitting opposite with a smile, looking at us.
"Seventh Master!" I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the strong man: "Old clam?!" ”
The old clam was eating clams raw and eating happily, and when he heard me call him, he turned his head and came to me and said, "Xiaorui, shopkeeper Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
No way! This thing actually grew a beard, and now it looks like a sturdy uncle in his thirties with a scruffy beard, and he still chews clam meat in his mouth.
"Old clam!" The second uncle walked over and turned his head to me and said, "Xiaorui, go out and buy some cooked food, drink some tonight!" ”
"When won't the second shopkeeper drink that night?" The seventh master joked: "I found a drinking friend today, right?" ”
I said hello and went out to buy a bunch of cooked food and came back, followed by a few drinks.
"Seventh Master, Xu Zeming has contacted you?" After a few sips of wine, everyone finished greeting and got to the point.
"Connected." The seventh master nodded: "When he contacted me, I was already almost in Jinan." What do you think? What day does it depart? ”
"Really going?" The second uncle was stunned: "Seventh master, this yin and yang coffin, do you think it really exists?" I thought about it, and I always felt that this was Xu Zeming playing with us! ”
"Well, I thought about it that way, too." The seventh master changed his words: "However, the yin and yang coffin, it should indeed exist, in the Nanpan Divine Palace, the ancestor Gu Yusheng told me something about the yin and yang coffin, he also felt that this thing did exist, and the approximate location was near Long Island, hundreds of years ago, he went to look for it once, but he didn't find it." Because of his health, he didn't go any further. ”
"Then, how do you count the sound of the east and the west?" The second uncle asked.
"Hmm...... I won't hide it from you. The Seventh Master groaned and said, "Ancestor Gu Yusheng told me two places, one is Changdao and the other is Taibai Mountain. Among the ten secret realms, he felt that at least two of them had been destroyed or the fortune of heaven and earth had changed, and it was no longer a spirit pool. Coupled with the Tianshan Medicine Garden, Jinsu Mountain, Taiji Halo, and Nanpan Shrine that we have found, there are a total of eight, and there are two more, and there are no clues now, because even Gaozu Liu Bang may not have really been there. And it has been several months since the map in Hanjia was taken out, and Xu Zeming can know about Long Island, and it is very likely that he also knows other places. So after he contacted me and explained his intentions, I immediately contacted the master of the bag, and the master of the bag also happily agreed to go to Taibai Mountain to watch, if necessary, he would stop Xu Zeming's men, Lao Clam, and he would also rush to Taibai Mountain tomorrow to help. ”
"The master lost an arm, and this time he was injured again, I guess, he is completely relieved at the moment......" The second uncle was a little melancholy: "As a master of Buddhism, the master must have seen life and death a long time ago, and followed us to act, completely to find the dragon vein of the spiritual pool that affected the land of China, but now he ended up with a disability, this heart is indeed rare......"
I was listening to the clouds on the side, I don't know why the second uncle suddenly said such a paragraph, the seventh master smiled and nodded: "That's right, in fact, we are also very urgent, if the effect of Tai Chi halo is over, Xu Zeming finds out that something is wrong, he will definitely find us immediately, with his identity, even if we don't say it, he will quickly get clues from others, when the time comes, he is much more dangerous than any evil corpse, if you don't get it, it is possible to kill us directly." ”
"Are you annoyed and angry...... second uncle grinned: "This is really dangerous, I heard from Qingyue's seniors that Xu Zeming's situation will definitely be counterattacked, when the time comes, stealing chickens will not be able to make rice, don't talk about Gao Sheng, it is likely that others will smash them to the ground with a punch, and he will never get up again, all his status is gone, such a gap, presumably he is really likely to do something murderous." ”
"Holy!" I felt that it was very tricky at this time, and I didn't even gnaw on the pig's trotters in my hand: "What should I do then?" If he wants to kill us with all his heart, will we not be like waiting to die? ”
"You're stupid!" The old clam spit out a fish bone: "It's hard if you don't let him find you!" Besides, he has at most two pistols in his hand, and Shopkeeper Gu or the rest of us are all masters, so how can they be killed so easily! ”
"Well, it's better to hide." The seventh master smiled bitterly: "It's good if he can't find it, in fact, there is only one best way - to strike first, and when he slowly loses power, strangle this sign in the cradle!" ”
Wow! I really can't figure out who is a cat and who is a mouse! I stared at the seventh master with wide eyes in surprise, thinking that this is too ruthless, Xu Zeming originally wanted to ask for a promotion, and the old man was also willing to be buried alive, but the result was good, not only did he become the moon in the water, but in the end, he even took his life, or our gang killed him, this life is too fucked up!
"Forget it, let's not discuss this." The second uncle saw that I was stunned, and said with a smile: "Xiaorui is not from our rivers and lakes, and his heart is beating when he listens, it's not good!" By the way, Liang Ruoyi, have you informed the seventh master? ”
"Informed." The seventh master said: "You don't ask me to forget this, Miss Liang should be there soon, to my surprise, she has long known about Taibai Mountain and Long Island, when I informed her, she was driving from Beijing to this side, it is estimated that she will arrive at nine o'clock in the evening." ”
"Oh?" The second uncle frowned: "This Liang Dong, I'm getting more and more interested, if the time is ripe, let's make a bureau and see the true face of this person's Lushan, how about it?" ”
The seventh master nodded and said, "No problem, I plan to do the same." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, this dinner was quite happy.
