Chapter 4: Three Days Later
Three days later, Lao K held a readers' meeting for me at a large bookstore in the China Trade Plaza, and sure enough, before I arrived at the bookstore, there were already many people gathered in front of the bookstore, and the staff needed to maintain order. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I hid in the bookstore in a low-key manner, and Lao K was already waiting for me in the bookstore, and the bookstore was also full of my new books, and the publishing house and bookstore sold thousands of copies in a blink of an eye.
Like all readers' meetings, the process is roughly the same, except that Lao K and I are paying attention to these readers, and Lao K really made a questionnaire for each reader to fill in, and mobilized the editors of eight or nine magazines to help, like grading test papers, according to the standards given by Lao K.
In the evening, there were still readers coming one after another, and in order to select the team members, Lao K ignored my hunger and asked me to go to the bookstore to close.
"Hungry, let's have a big meal." Lao K looked at the results of my new book sales today, was quite satisfied, patted me on the shoulder and smiled.
"You still have the face to say, but you starve me." I was really hungry, breakfast and lunch were hastily settled, and I was looking forward to a good dinner to make up for my hunger.
"Let's go, then." Old K said and picked up the car together.
There were not many people at the supper stall, and when the car was parked, Lao K went to order something to eat, and finally came back with his hands very satisfied.
"Just come here, invite me, and have a big meal?" I stared at him with a puzzled look on my face, and I felt the urge to beat him to death.
Old K grinned: "Isn't this a quiet picture, there are not many people here, just to discuss our plans." ”
The bag was placed on his lap, and Old K took out several questionnaires filled out by readers from his bag and handed them to me and said, "Look at these, you can definitely do it." ”
There are three copies in total, three people, and my summary is a charlatan, a gravedigger, and a military expert.
I looked at it, and it was indeed a good object, so I said to Old K: "Good vision." ”
"That's it, old K, my biggest ability is to know talents, or how to dig you out!" Old K said with a smile.
Old K's words left me speechless to refute, and made me feel like I was fluttering.
"When are we going to meet?" I asked Old K.
"If you want, I can ask them to come and meet right away, right to your house." Old K was eating what had just been delivered, looking like a hungry wolf.
I refused, after all, I was still a stranger, and it was not the best choice to go to my house, so I asked Lao K to arrange another time and place, and Lao K also agreed, and the time was set for a restaurant at noon tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Lao K drove downstairs to pick me up, saying that I am not suitable for driving by myself (the main thing is that I am afraid of drinking, and at that time, at least one person will have to drink, leaving one person to drive).
When I arrived at the restaurant that I had made an appointment with in advance, the restaurant was a Gan restaurant, and Lao K said that it was all to accommodate me, so I chose to eat fresh and spicy Gan cuisine, which moved me very much, and I suddenly forgot about last night's supper dinner.
Over the years, Old K has treated me as a friend, and at the same time arranged for me to have all the issues related to the publication and publication of new novels, although it is within his duties, but it is somewhat like an agent, especially today, when it comes to this kind of thing, he is particularly enthusiastic and positive.
Old K took me to a private room, where there were three people waiting, apparently the three people I saw filling out the questionnaire yesterday, and when I saw it, I immediately threw my puzzled eyes at Old K, and winked at him.
There is a beautiful woman among the three, the waves are turbulent, and I wonder how to make a big wave of beauties by doing such physical work underground, and not going to the suburbs for fun.
Lao K understood what I meant, and responded with his eyes, probably saying that men and women are not tired of working together, and they can adjust the atmosphere, and they can also boost morale at critical times.
Old K's crooked reasoning is one after another, I'm ashamed that I can't talk about him, so I'll stop for the time being and see if I'll talk about it.
Lao K's care for me is meticulous, I don't even have to order the dish, he just gave the package, just waiting for the dish, not waiting for me to know the three, the waiter served one after another, and brushed more than ten dishes, basically all of which are famous dishes in Gan cuisine, which is the real feast.
"It's kind of compensation for you last night, and for entertaining you." Old K said to me and the other three in the room, as if he were the host.
The trio smiled or nodded their heads in gratitude.
The wine and food, and even the meal were served at one time, and Lao K specially told the waiter not to disturb him if he didn't call.
In the absence of a waiter, Lao K poured the wine by himself, filling it for everyone present, and in the process, I met three of my "readers".
The white-skinned man is called Yang Gang, with a shirt and trousers, and he is a master of Kanyu (ancient name of Feng Shui), and Lao K said that he is a descendant of Yang Gong (Yang Yunsong), who is proficient in the environment and the laws of the universe, and is also a scholar of philosophy.
I heard Lao K talk about it blindly, and I couldn't find a flaw to refute it, but in the final analysis, it is still the master who looks at feng shui. However, the feng shui masters who look at feng shui are not all old men running around the mountains with a compass, the feng shui master I saw in my hometown is like that, with dark and thick skin, but this Yang Gang's skin is well maintained, like a little fresh meat, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the feng shui master in my impression, but like a charlatan who uses a computer to tell fortunes.
The man with a face full of vicissitudes is called Zhang Jiuping, dressed casually, with a stand-up collar T-shirt and slacks, he is a master of digging graves, and insiders call him "pangolin".
Zhang Jiuping's image is in line with his identity and profession, I don't doubt it, I think he is a reliable teammate, so I nodded my head.
The last one, when I saw the name on the questionnaire, I thought Shangguan Yaxiong was a man, so I didn't tell Lao K that the team didn't need women, which was also my negligence, Yaxiong was actually the same as Yanan, she must be a woman.
Shangguan Yaxiong has long hair and high ties, a beautiful face, and a graceful figure, especially when she is wearing an army-green tight vest and loose camouflage pants, which is enough to make men bleed. The muscles that are faintly visible on the exposed arms, it seems that Shangguan Yaxiong usually does not practice less, the so-called military experts, but not ordinary fitness players can call themselves, they must be able to do kung fu and play with knives and guns.
I stared at Shangguan Yaxiong suspiciously, she smiled at me, and a military short knife instantly flashed out of her left hand, and the military short knife flipped extremely quickly in her hand, and then instantly inserted, with a sound, the knife was inserted on the table, and to my surprise, it happened to pass between the fingers of the palm I put on the table.
I was stunned that this beautiful girl could actually play magic.
"Bang bang." Lao K high-fived in time to clear the siege, "Yes, the woman does not let her eyebrows go, and she deserves to be a heroine among women." ”
I also relieved myself, I shouldn't judge people by their appearance, smiled apologetically, and raised my glass at the three of them.
My acquiescence means that the expedition has been formed, a total of five people, and then we will discuss what tools to prepare and when to leave.
I have no experience in this kind of thing, except for what I saw in movies, television and novels, I have no experience at all in reality, a real layman, I discussed it for a long time, and everyone couldn't unify, and in the end it was the old K who was refreshing.
"Don't discuss this kind of thing, since we are a team, we will live and die together in the future, and we will be in the same boat, I absolutely trust you, Yang Gang will handle this kind of thing by finding the entrance, and Zhang Jiuping has experience in digging holes, and he will handle it, and the safety and security of all of us will be handed over to Shangguan Yaxiong, and any tools you want will be handled by you, everyone see, this arrangement is good." Lao K arranged things in one sentence.
I thought for a moment and added, "However, I will contribute a little of this fund, but not all of it." ”
"This is not a thing, when you get to the tomb, take a random one, it is priceless, and you will never let everyone run errands in vain." Old K smiled and comforted the three of them.
I glared at Old K, and then corrected, "This is not a tomb robbery, it's an underground expedition." ”
The three of them looked at K, who only smiled and didn't answer, and I could feel what he meant, but it was impossible to stop the expedition now.
"Where are we targeting?" Yang Gang and Zhang Jiuping asked almost in unison.
Old K glanced at me and said, "Xi'an." ”
"When are you leaving?" Shangguan Yaxiong asked.
I said, "It will be as soon as possible." ”
"Three days later." Lao K announced it on his own initiative.
I think it's too late to stop it, and after three days, it seems to be going to become the mantra of Lao K, and since it's all said, I can't say anything, so I have to nod.
"Alright, we'll get ready when we get back." Zhang Jiuping looked at Liu Gang and Shangguan Yaxiong on both sides and said.
After this feast, everyone was full of wine and food, and when I left, I told everyone that this matter must be kept secret, and not a word of it should be leaked to others.
