Chapter 180: Guest
The area of the back garden is not large, there are no scattered paths, only a gravel path paved with thumb-sized stones, the front yard in the north and a wall in the south? I walked to the south wall, stretched out my hand to pull away the vines, and touched the wall, which was no different from an ordinary wall, why was I still a little entangled in my heart when I stood here?
"What are you doing! Get out of there. The old lady's voice came from the intersection of the front yard and the garden.
I turned to look at the old lady in a floral dress on the left, with a kettle in her hand, a scarf wrapped around her head, and a cane walking towards me.
"You can enjoy the flowers here, but no one can touch the wall." The old lady walked to me and arranged the vines I had set apart evenly.
"I didn't mean to." I hastened to apologize.
The old lady squinted her eyes and looked up at me, "Later." When he said this, he couldn't say a word, and I saw a tear in his eyes.
"Mother-in-law, go down, this is a guest invited by the master's family." The anachronistic appearance of the cap.
The old lady pointed at me, "he"
The man directly helped the old lady out, "Mother-in-law, you didn't take medicine, how many times have you confessed your mistakes, but it's not." ”
The cap quickly explained, "This woman has a problem with his brain." ”
"What stimulated you?" I have no intention of asking.
"This is a matter of the government, and it is difficult for our subordinates to say. But just remember that we won't hurt you, and your gear is here, in the front room, and you can go and see if there's anything wrong. The tone of the cap made me feel that this was not imprisonment, but like you had been poor for half your life, and suddenly a person came over and told you that you are the young master of my family who has been missing for many years, and now the master has found you and gone back to inherit the family property.
"Why do you keep wearing a hat, what's so ugly." Cows are fat and straight.
The cap subconsciously touched his face, this action in my eyes, this person's face must have something unspeakable in the past, so that I don't want to face it until now. "Fatty, that's someone else's business, it's your business, and you have a lot to worry about." I interrupted.
Three meals to last, this kind of day is comfortable and comfortable, during the period has not seen the door of the room opened, after the rest, in Hangzhou at night, cold to the bone, three people around the stove to roast the fire, this place has no air conditioning heating facilities, the host is sick, but rely on the coal stove to live.
Niu Pang deliberately set the alarm clock on his mobile phone, lay on the bed and fell asleep, the snoring sound could be heard throughout the yard, no one came to warn him, not even the sound of opening the door and window.
I felt someone slapping me in a daze, and when I opened my eyes, the boss was already standing at the door, and Niu Fat's snoring continued, and the cap saw that I was awake, and pointed at Niu Fat, "I really can't wake up your friend." ”
I nodded knowingly, kicked at Niu Fat's ass, kicked the ground, Niu Fat rubbed his cheek, and looked at me viciously, "Won't you call me?" ”
I was said to be desireless, the cap shrugged his head down, and I felt him laughing.
"Three, the main family is already waiting for three in the lobby." Cap Road.
There was indeed a man sitting on the main seat in the lobby, with fair and unnatural skin, delicate eyebrows, and a demeanor that exuded temperament as I thought, but at this age, he was thirty-five years old, and no matter how well he was maintained, he could not be so young. I straightened my waist and walked in, showing all my gentlemanly demeanor, and in front of him it seemed like a class man with an axe, and even the boss's momentum was greatly reduced in front of him. This person is dressed in yellow silk clothes and trousers, with auspicious cloud embroidery technology, a jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, a dragon ring on his ring finger, and a dragon ring on his right index finger and ring finger.
"Several, please be seated." His voice could tell him that he was seriously ill.
Just sat down, the cap has closed the lobby door, is this closing the door to let the dog?
"Don't worry, I'm just talking to you about two things, I wonder if a few of you would like to hear me?"
"Then you said it, we have already been arrested, we don't listen, you also have to say it." The boss refuted him without saving a little face.
This owner is the head of the family, and the number of people under his command is even more unknown, and I am worried that there will be some trouble if the boss says. The next words surprised me, "Qiyi, watching tea, are you already impatient without looking at the guests?" ”
The cap called Qiyi bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes." "Bend down and leave. When he reappeared, the whole room was filled with the soft smell of tea.
"A few people already know, we are squatting outside your store, today we don't say secret words, we are also for this fight, gold, silver and jewelry, you can practice casually, but what about other things belong to me?" The proprietor's tone is to discuss with us, but everyone knows that this is just a reminder to us, whether your answer is or not, he has already made a decision.
"Aren't you all ready? Why don't you go down yourself? The Boss picked up a cup of tea.
"You also see that my body is not good, who do you fancy to my subordinates? You pick. "The proprietor said it politely, but in the end, it was not his own choice.
The boss smiled, "It's an old friend, so don't play dumb riddles anymore." ”
The proprietor also smiled and looked at me, "Little brother, who do you think is good?" ”
The two of them threw this hot potato to me, and I had to take it, and I had to take it if I didn't, "Then Qiyi, he is agile and has strong ability to take charge, don't you just want him to be the vanguard of your side?" As soon as I spoke, everyone froze.
"Little brother, how do you know I want him to go?" The proprietor asked me unhurriedly.
I moistened my throat, "There are so many people in your hands, but no one dares to step into here, which is enough to prove his importance in your heart, and besides, he and you are definitely people who share weal and pain." You don't ask about any big or small things in the house, so it can be seen that there is only one person you trust, and that is Qiyi. ”
Everyone didn't speak, and I caught a glimpse of Qiyi's eyes skipping a second of distraction, and the owner clapped his hands and applauded, "You're really smart, that's him." ”
I didn't expect him to be such a scoundrel, I thought that if I pointed out him, I could not let him go, but I didn't expect it to be the same whether I pointed it out or not.
Silence, silence, continued silence.
In the end, the owner shook his head, "I still can't spend it with you, and my sick body is useless." As he spoke, he got up, and the cap wanted to help, but his movements stopped in mid-air, and he didn't dare to do anything more, and I became more and more curious about what could make two people who were in trouble together like this.
When I passed by, the owner faded down, and I hurriedly stepped forward to support me, "Are you okay, boss?" ”
The proprietor shook his head and looked at me for a second, "Can you take me with me?" ”
I was startled and glanced at the boss, who nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”
The proprietor's whole body was on me alone, and he didn't use a little strength, and finally put him on the garden seat, and I clearly saw a feeling in his eyes that he couldn't read, was it sad? Is it happy? Is it sorrow? Is it a dead heart? Sure enough, every successful person has a poignant past behind them.
The proprietor pointed to the wall I had opened during the day, "There used to be a person living there, one of my most proud disciples, but now it is empty. ”
"Is it the reason why Qiyi is reluctant to take off the mask?" I asked.
"Seventy-one? Qiyi is not my disciple, I have expelled him from the division, if there is no Qiyi, then he will not die, he will not die. "The voice is excited, I'm worried about dying by my side, I don't even have a reason, don't say I hate it, anyone will think so.
When I was appeasing the owner, at the place where the front yard and the backyard were linked, Qiyi lowered his head and watched everything silently, he should have heard it.
"The owner, sometimes you feel that it is not the truth, some people don't say it, they are annoyed, he just attributes other people's deaths to his own mistakes, you should look away, he may not be wrong on July 1, maybe there was a last resort?" I persuaded the proprietor.
The proprietor shook his head, "I know, but everyone went with him, and he was the only one who came back, and they all died." ”
My persuasion seems weak and pale, I am not an eyewitness in the face of human life, I am not one of them, I have no right to comment.
"You and him are like, he will never shift the responsibility to anyone, even if he dies, he will not blame anyone who hurt him, he is said to be a demon who kills people without blinking, in fact, I know, he just wants to protect him and thinks he should protect, he is in this room, locked himself up for twenty years, and the only time he comes out is to announce his death." The proprietor said that it was miserable, but he did not shed tears.
"Him." I don't know whether to say it or not, but I said, "How many years have you been dead?" ”
"Twenty-three years, exactly twenty-three years, he threw this place to me for twenty-three years." The proprietor's hands are supported, all lonely, echoing the entire courtyard.
Twenty-three years? It happens to be the year I was born, hey, people are alive, it's not necessarily a good thing to be too serious, people can't be resurrected after death, no matter how you torture yourself, what's the use?
"Can I go and have a look?" I was ready to face his rejection.
"There you go."
This sentence made me seem at a loss, several owners agreed, I didn't go to see it I couldn't help my curiosity, opened the vines, leaked the whole wall, I actually had a familiar feeling, standing on tiptoe, the movement of my hand skillfully pulled the top layer of brick joints, I was even surprised how I knew that there was a mechanism here, so accurate to open it.
There was still an old electric light inside, I pulled the wire ring, the light exploded, and it fell into darkness, and at this moment, a flashlight was handed over to me, and I turned my head to see the look in the cap looking at me, and I felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Have I been here before?" I wondered.
The cap returned to his previous attitude, "Mr. said with a smile, this is not a place where ordinary people can come, and no one dares to come to this place if they are fine." ”
