Chapter 30: The Mysterious Man's Call
Sitting up suddenly, Zhong Xu picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, hurriedly opened the phone book to find the fat man's phone and dialed it out, his heart "plopped" and picked non-stop, and his heart said Don't have an accident, or the most dangerous place is the safest place, wouldn't you slap yourself in the face!
After four or five "beeps" on the other end of the phone, the fat man's cheap voice and the noisy traffic around came from the phone, and the fat man seemed to be very noisy, shouting at the top of his voice, "Master Xu, you wake up, I'm outside!" ”
Hearing the fat man's voice, Zhong Xu's heart returned to his stomach, and he took a long breath and scolded angrily, "Can you leave a note or something when you go out, I thought you were taken away by a cat, hurry back." "www.biquge.info After saying that, Zhong Xu hung up the phone angrily, got up and stretched, and was about to wash his face to sober up, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the messy pile of information under his feet, there was an open book, and a black and white picture in the book attracted Zhong Xu's attention.
Bending down to pick up the book on the ground, Zhong Xu sat back on the sofa and read it. After flipping through the pages, Zhong Xu found that the book did not seem to be published by a publishing house, but more like a roadside novel printed by a private person. The entire book has no name, no table of contents, no author's signature, and is entirely a printed copy of ordinary A4 paper.
The picture that caught Zhong Xu's attention in the book was a portrait of a woman wearing an ancient costume, the woman was wearing gold hairpins and jade beads, her face was like water and frost, her apricot eyes and willow eyebrows and cherry mouth, and she was wearing a necklace made of pearls and various ornaments around her neck, and at the bottom of the necklace was an irregular polygonal jewelry fragment.
Zhong Xu was stunned, Zhong Xu was not unfamiliar with the jewelry on the woman's neck, this thing he didn't know how many pieces he had given himself since he was a child, and it was exactly what he was looking for now, a fragment of the pubic hall.
How could this thing appear on the neck of the woman in this illustration, Zhong Xu hurriedly turned a page, wanting to see what was recorded in the text behind it, but found that there was no record on the second page of the illustration, but directly began to introduce the history of the next dynasty. Zhong Xu frowned, and turned to the previous page of the illustration, only to find that the previous page had been forcibly removed, leaving only the uneven paper residues in the seams.
Continuing to look ahead, Zhong Xu was surprised to find that the story written on the first few pages of the book was exactly the same as the story of the princess Dongyang of Chu that he had seen on the Internet, and the place where the story was interrupted was exactly the same as the end of the post on the Internet.
It seems that the post on the Internet did not end on purpose, but where Princess Dongyang went later, and the most important story information such as the location of the country was deliberately deleted.
After flipping through the replica in his hand several times, Zhong Xu carefully tore off the woman's illustration, folded it and put it in his ghost bag. Although it is not certain whether this illustration depicts Princess Dongyang, the woman in the illustration has a yin fragment. Then it means that this woman has a lot to do with the ghost gate and Princess Dongyang, who was forced to marry back then.
After washing his face, he casually found something to eat in the room, and an hour later, the fat man returned to the hotel in a shiny streamer, threw a few sets of new clothes on the sofa under Zhong Xu's surprised gaze, and said with a smile, "Master Xu, we have been in the metropolis recently, we can't lose our share, you look at the nouveau riche appearance of Han Li's kid yesterday, no matter how embarrassed my treasure is, I can't throw it to my rival in love!" After that, he took out a car key from his pocket and slapped it on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, I bought it newly." ”
Zhong Xu put down the information in his hand, glanced at the Lincoln car key on the coffee table, shook his head helplessly and looked at the fat man and said, "You take out the old man's card and swipe it like this, aren't you afraid that the old man will discount your two lotus root-like legs when you go back to Binjiang?" ”
The fat man waved his hand and smiled, "What are you afraid of, although my father said that I won't give me a gold card before graduation, but isn't it a month, this card won't be mine at that time, it's not bad, hurry up and try on clothes." Saying that, the fat man pulled Zhong Xu up, picked up a new set of clothes and stuffed them into Zhong Xu's hands, raised his head and said with a bitter smile, "Come on, Xu Ye's clothes are perfect for you, but it's a pity that my treasure doesn't have your face that attracts little girls, or Xiaoman wouldn't look down on me." ”
Zhong Xu glanced at the fat man, scolded him for being sick, turned around and stuffed the clothes into the fat man's hand and said, "These clothes are stored first, I don't know how long I will stay here, and I will talk about it when I finish changing my clothes." When he said this, Zhong Xu patted his thigh and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu's suitcase is still in Chunli Hotel." ”
"That little hotel you stayed in?"
"yes, I jumped out of the window that day, and the fucking suitcase was thrown there, and it was full of clothes and my bank card!" Zhong Xu said that he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and flipped through it several times, and finally found the phone number of the bearded boss who answered him that day, and quickly dialed it.
A few minutes later, Zhong Xu came out of the room and said with a long sigh of relief, "Grandma's, fortunately, the boss saw it and helped me clean it up, come on, didn't you buy a car, take me on a trip and get a box." ”
"Come on!" The fat man got up, picked up the key, and followed Zhong Xu out of the door. As soon as the two of them closed the door of the room, the sofa in one of the bedrooms in the room was blurry and distorted, and a ghost with a big head slowly floated out of the void, the only big eye on his face turned back and forth, and after making sure that there was no one, the ghost slowly fell to the ground, quickly walked into the living room with two slender legs, walked straight to Zhong Xu's ghost bag, stretched out his hand and was about to take the things in the ghost bag, the compass in the ghost bag suddenly flashed with golden light, and knocked the ghost back a few meters away.
The ghost screamed, quickly retracted his smoking paws that were still struck by the golden light of the compass, and glanced at his back with a frightened face, and let out a low roar from his mouth, as if begging for something.
"Take it!" An angry shout came from the void, and the ghost's whole body trembled, turned around and looked at the compass that was still glowing slightly golden in the ghost bag, gritted his teeth and put his claws into the ghost bag, endured the intense stinging pain and burning, grabbed the illustration that Zhong Xu had put away in the ghost bag, and quickly shrank back.
……
It was already half past five in the afternoon when Zhong Xu and the fat man arrived at the Chunli Hotel, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when they got their things and slowly moved back to the hotel with the evening rush hour. Jiang Xiaoman was not in the two of them, so they naturally didn't dare to spend the night in the hotel, so they found a place to eat something, and were about to find an Internet café with a lot of people to spend the night, when Zhong Xu's phone suddenly rang. Zhong Xu put down his chopsticks and took out the phone to glance at it, frowned and looked at the fat man, and said in a low voice, "Strange number!" ”
"You don't need money to answer the phone, what are you afraid of!"
Zhong Xu glanced at the fat man, picked up the phone vigilantly and looked around, and said in a low voice, "Which one?" ”
There was a pause on the other side of the phone, and after an interval of a few seconds, an old voice came out, and said with a smile, "You are Mr. Zhong!" ”
"It's me, who are you?" Zhong Xu asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that I know who you are and what you're looking for...... That's enough! ”
Hearing this, Zhong Xu paused for a moment, looked at the people around the hotel again, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by this, I don't understand?" ”
"It's inconvenient to say on the phone, if it's convenient for Mr. Zhong, I'll send you an address, and we can have a good talk."
"If you don't make it clear, I don't think I have anything to talk to you about."
There was a pause on the other side of the phone, and the old voice laughed dryly, and said again, "I just want to do a business with Mr. Zhong, I want my things, you exchange your life." If Mr. Chung thinks his life is not important, he doesn't have to come! After that, the phone was hung up directly, Zhong Xu held the phone and was stunned in his seat, until the phone rang again and a text message popped up.
