Chapter 19: Three Returns to Beijing
When we returned to the ground, it was already two days later, which was full of hardships and dangers, but because of Yi Lin's protection, all the crises were resolved, and when I saw the sky again, I didn't want to say another word, it was a kind of exhaustion that went deep into the bone marrow, and in the backpack was the wrench that Qianjue secretly put in, which was the thing I always wanted for the king of Nanyue, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources he used to find this rare treasure for me, but it didn't matter, the thing was already in my hands.
Yi Lin sat next to me, he looked at the long yellow sand in front of him, as if he wanted to express something, while I lay on the ground, looked at the gray blue sky, and said: "There used to be the most beautiful grassland and the most melodious singing here, but now everything is gone." ”
"6,300 years ago, the snowy region used to have the most beautiful grassland and the most beautiful songs, but the war turned everything into scorched earth, but unfortunately, it doesn't exist anymore."
He lay on the ground like me, and neither of them spoke anymore, but just basked in the sun quietly, because we had been underground for so long that I almost forgot that I was a living person, and I needed the sun to awaken the breath of a living person in my body.
The sun is setting in the west, and I have rested enough, so I stood up and called Yi Lin to prepare to return to southern Xinjiang, because I am now carrying a super old birthday star who has lived for 6,300 years, and I can't rush on the road, Lingyun must be covered with the eyeliner of the Hanhai headquarters, and as soon as I go up, I will definitely be arrested, so I better not take risks.
Although there is not much time, but it is not nothing, after returning to southern Xinjiang, I showed that I found a very simple guest house, where the facilities can be called only the lowest, not lower.
Yi Lin is completely unsuitable for modern life, in order not to let him show his feet, and in order to protect myself from being targeted, I had to buy him a new set of clothes, and bought a pair of glasses, let him pretend to have a cold and wear a mask, after seeing that he was dressed neatly, I shook my head helplessly on the side, looking like this, walking outside is too eye-catching, I feel that this is still not safe enough, I had to take him to the barbershop, and the color of his hair has changed, anyway, it is so neat that even my mother can't recognize it, Only then did he reluctantly take him to the airport and prepare to return to Beijing.
When the plane landed at eight o'clock in the evening, the capital airport was crowded, as soon as we came out, someone was holding a mobile phone and ready to move, Yi Lin and I fled into the taxi as fast as possible, the driver heard that I was going to Miyun, and immediately shook his head and said that he was about to hand over the shift, and asked me if I could change one, I was also in a hurry, and I threw him a stack of red tickets, and said in a low voice: "You'd better send me there, otherwise, you will be wanted to drive in the future." ”
The driver's master looked at me as if he was a nervous disorder, and he stepped on the accelerator with a scolding grin, he was angry, but he was afraid that I would complain, so he had to take the money and endure it, it was already early in the morning when the car drove into Miyun, Yi Lin sat behind nervously and did not move, I wanted to laugh when I saw him, but I was afraid that he would show his feet, so I had to poke him with my fingers to let him relax, otherwise he would be suspected.
Yi Lin is obedient, but an ancient person like him is already strong in his heart when he sees the modern technology of the car and does not jump on the spot, but fortunately, the driver master has been angry, complaining that I shouldn't do this, and that he should find a different car for such a long way, delay him from getting off work, and so on.
I asked him to stop at the foot of the mountain, and the driver looked at us suspiciously, "Who are you two guys, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”
I'll go, this guy is still a nosy person, I was worried that he would ask something, so I said, "The place is here, the car money is also given to you, what should you do, I don't know if I am curious to kill the cat." ”
The driver cursed a nasty word and drove away.
After he left, I pulled Yi Lin and started to walk up the mountain, but I didn't really plan to hike up the mountain, but stayed in a farmhouse on the mountain road for one night, the owner of this farmhouse is the parents of a friend of mine, the old couple never asked about the world, just ran the farmhouse here, so, I didn't feel anything wrong when I saw me, I prepared two rooms for us, and dinner was made by the kitchen and sent into the room.
Yi Lin looked at the food on the table, he had no appetite at all, and his disgusted look made me lose my appetite suddenly.
"You have to adapt to the life of modern society, don't always act like a big prince, you will arouse suspicion in some quarters."
Yi Lin was very disapproving, looked at the contents of my bowl, and said, "These things can't be eaten at all, besides, I don't need to eat, you still don't prepare them for me in the future, when will we go to Lingyunding." ”
Because I don't have a mobile phone, I don't know what to say, in fact, my head is still a mess, I told him that this will be said tomorrow when I go back to the Xiao family's old house.
I have always been worried that someone in the capital is following me, so I deliberately took a taxi to walk around, and waited until I was sure that the surroundings were safe before letting the driver drive directly to the Xiao family's old house, at the same time, Yi Lin said that he felt that someone around him had been watching him, I asked him to go into the courtyard first, and then go to the second floor of the villa to activate the monitoring device, so that I could observe the surrounding situation on the hidden curtain wall outside the gate.
Yi Lin soon reached the second floor of the villa, but I still made a mistake, I forgot that Yi Lin was a person from 6,300 years ago, and he didn't know what a switch was.
However, to my surprise, all the monitoring areas in the villa area were opened, and I was very surprised to see the camera rotate slowly, because the procedure for turning on the anti-theft monitoring was more complicated, and Yi Lin could not be self-taught.
I turned on the monitoring system inside the room outside, and then quickly returned to the villa, at the same time, I also saw a person sitting on the sofa, as if waiting for me.
This person has no hair and looks like a bald head, I quickly searched for relevant information about this person in my head, but after a few minutes, I still didn't think of anything, but he knows how to turn on our Xiao family's anti-theft system, and it should be no outsider.
When the "bald head" saw me, he immediately stood up, pointed to Yi Lin who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Who is this person, how can you casually bring outsiders into the ancestral house of the Xiao family." ”
This sentence is said justifiably, without a little weakness, but I was said by him like this, and immediately felt that I was a little inappropriate, I looked at Yi Lin who was sitting on the sofa and was confused, and I didn't know how to explain it for a while, can I say that this is the crown prince of the king of the snowy region six thousand three hundred years ago? I said it, and someone had to believe it.
The best way to protect yourself without knowing the other person's true identity and intentions is to say nothing, do nothing, wait and see how things develop, and then improvise.
I pretended to sit on the sofa relaxed, shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, lit it and took a few puffs, and said, "Who are you, this is Xiao Mansion, the master has not yet spoken, what are you calling here with a bald head?" ”
The "bald head" was in a hurry, and he wanted to come over and beat me with angry eyes, but he just made a gesture and didn't dare to really do it. (To be continued.) )
