Chapter Ninety-Eight: My Conditions 03
Liu Hao drank all the wine in his cup, "Value your talent." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"The reason is far-fetched, I'm new to the city, and I haven't shown anything, you know the talent."
Liu Hao took out a brocade box from the dark compartment under the table, "This thing, if you can get it, it shows your ability, if you really don't have any ability, then you are also lucky, no matter what, I want it." β
Drinking in the dark, my little amount of alcohol came in handy, Liu Hao and I drank half a catty and eight taels, and in the end I didn't even know how I left, anyway, after I woke up, people were already in the room.
Xue Wei waited beside me with a cold towel, and said while wiping my sweat: "What are you doing with so much drinking, you can't do it." β
"Why can't I, my alcohol consumption is very good, but Liu Hao's alcohol consumption is comparable to mine, I can't help it, if I don't be ruthless, I can't let him eliminate his vigilance."
I touched my temple, "What time is it?" β
Xue Wei looked at the gilded bell in the room, "It's nine o'clock, and you slept for eight hours." β
I forced myself to sit up, "I'm going to take a shower." β
"Okay."
In the process of taking a bath, Xue Wei has been guarding outside, because I don't really want to take a bath, or with the help of the sound of water to isolate all information outside, and then use a password dedicated to Captain Jin to send a message to Xue Wei, I wrote a few words on the ground with soap, and then shouted loudly for Xue Wei to come in and help me rub my back, Xue Wei was also very cooperative, and after coming in, I saw the code words I wrote on the ground, and immediately understood, she stayed in the bathroom and pretended to take a mandarin duck bath with me, while I changed my clothes and avoided the secret guard in the bungalow, Climbed out of the wall and went outside the city, I vaguely remember that place should be the old house of the Xiao family, although it is ruined a hundred years later, but at least it is still there, so I estimate that a hundred years ago now, the house should be still in good condition, maybe, you can still see our Xiao family.
Walking on the street, walking to the east city with memory, to the place, although there is a big difference with a hundred years later, but the chessboard pattern is still unchanged, I followed the memory to find, counted the steps to a wall root, along the wall root to touch forward, sure enough, I found a wooden door, there is a pile of stone lions at the door, although the gate is cold, but this stone lion is very spiritual, I walked over and touched the lion's head, "Sure enough, it is a good thing." β
"The little brother's eyesight is good, and this pair of stone lions is not small."
It was a middle-aged man in coarse cloth clothes who spoke, although he was in the grade and slightly fat, but his eyebrows were clear, his eyebrows were standing, and his hands were even more bone-studded, I recognized his identity at a glance, but I chuckled in my heart, resisted the urge to shout, and smiled slightly, "Don't dare, I just think that this stone lion is lifelike, and the extraordinary quality is comparable." β
Xiao Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled with satisfaction, "What are you doing here, looking for someone?" β
I shook my head, then nodded, "The old man entrusted me to come to pay a visit." β
Xiao Yi's expression moved slightly, "Who is it?" β
I lowered my head and thought for a moment, "Xiao Yuan." β
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, looked me up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"
I looked up at him, and when I met his eyes, I had a feeling of incomprehension.
"Xiao Fang."
Xiao Yi looked me up and down, and only after half a sound did he say: "The people of the Xiao family naturally know the door of the Xiao family, little brother, Qing comes with me." β
I bowed my head slightly, "Yes Lao." β
Follow Xiao Yi into the Xiao family's mansion, walk along the corridor, through a row of bamboo forests, where the ancient well is located, is where the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family is located.
"Since we are the younger generations of the Xiao family, we should visit our ancestors and ancestors."
I did it one by one, this is the duty that the descendants of the Xiao family should do, after bowing sincerely, I followed Xiao Yi to the front yard, sitting in the flower hall in the front yard, the fragrance of chrysanthemum tea was overflowing.
"Little brother, since you are the Xiao family, what about your family."
I shook my head, "Separated." β
"Brother and sister?"
I said, "Four brothers, one is a soldier, one is a businessman, and the other is a ......."
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to ask me to stop, he looked at me and sighed, "This kind of appearance is different from my Xiao family, but everything you show has the shadow of the Xiao family, little brother, are you willing to have a drink with me." β
I thought that I had only drunk so much last night, and my stomach was still churning, but now I couldn't bear to refuse, so I had to nod, "Okay." β
A glass of sake went down, but he was not half drunk, but felt clear.
"What kind of wine is this, why is it so sweet, it's delicious."
Xiao Yi smiled and poured me another glass, "This is sake, it is brewed by the ancestors of our Xiao family, the wine is strong but not intoxicating, but it is clear-eyed,"
"yes, it's really good."
Xiao Yi poured me another glass, and then said: "Little brother is here, there must be something to ask, there are only you and me here, there is no need to estimate, but it doesn't matter." β
I thought about it, nodded, looked around again, made sure there was no danger, and then said, "I want to know the current situation. β
Xiao Yi drank a glass of sake, and then didn't say a word, then turned around and left, and didn't say anything to me when he left, please go back or something, he didn't say, I won't leave, I can't be clearer about the Xiao family's behavior.
After he was gone, I sat there without taking a step, and when it was dark, he came back with a telegram in his hand, and although I could not read it, I knew that it was instructive.
Sitting still obediently, Xiao Yi handed me the telegram, "Read it yourself." β
I took the telegram and smiled, "I can't read the telegram with the code." β
Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, "I'll tell you what you want to know, what benefits I can get." β
I took out all the Yuan Datou from my pocket, "I only have so much, okay?" β
Xiao Yi glanced at Yuan Datou on the table, and smiled, "It's really a big deal, in fact, you don't have to give me these, and you don't need to ask me, everyone knows these things, and they are reported in the newspaper." β
I shook my head, "That's different. β
"What's different?"
"Identity."
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth moved slightly, his eyes were fixed on me, and a pair of eyes were like scanners, which made me panic.
I smirked a few times, "Tell me about it." β
Xiao Yi put down the eye bag pot in his hand, and then said: "This matter, you have to make it clear, it's difficult, do you have time?" β
I said, "No." β
Xiao Yi smiled, "You, what a weirdo, but I just like you, I don't have time, right, okay, can you read and write?" β
"Acquaintance."
Wait a minute, I'll get you something."
Xiao Yat went to get something, while I continued to sit in the flower hall and wait, quite anxious.
