CHAPTER XII. No. 23

At eight o'clock in the evening, Tan Jian packed his things and prepared to go out. He usually wears a suit and leather shoes, but now he has changed into civilian clothes, looks much younger, and looks like he is going to an appointment. I'm still a little worried in my heart, although Tan Jian looks mysterious, but in fact, he can only write things like easy divination and feng shui, and his combat effectiveness is actually not very strong.

The boss behind that woman is obviously a powerful person, Tan Jian goes alone, isn't it equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

I decided to follow, and when I got to the car, Tan Jian asked me what I meant, and I said, "Boss, I can't let you go on an adventure alone." ”

Tan Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I have a good conscience, but let's say it first, if something happens, I won't increase my salary." ”

I'm happy, this is a promise? I didn't say much at the moment, got into the car, and the car went all the way to the destination. Since the place was a bit far from our area, it took us more than forty minutes to get there.

I looked at the time displayed on the car, it was exactly nine o'clock, and we arrived an hour earlier.

There are very few people on Huainan Road at this time, after the period of the handover of the surrounding factories, the surrounding residents sleep, the night shift of the night shift, the surrounding streets seem deserted, and the plane trees beside the road are brushed by the hot wind in the summer leaves.

Tan Jian drove slowly, and the car slowly slid on the road, looking for the location of No. 23.

Soon, at an intersection, we found the house number of the eighteenth, and the number twenty-three, which should be the position behind it.

This is a corner, compared with the asphalt road, the road at the corner is pure cement, the road surface is cracked, and the roadway is narrow, it belongs to the kind of old-fashioned road surface where cars can't turn around when they enter. Tan Jian and I had to pull over to the side and get out of the car and walk.

This area should be a part of the old buildings that have been preserved, all of which are low-rise single-family old residential houses, most of the houses are empty, uninhabited, and look black. Most of the surrounding street lamps are also broken, and only occasionally there is a little light coming out of the windows, and the lights and shadows are swaying in the dark, which looks particularly eerie.

I thought that the other party would make an appointment in a teahouse or a place like a meal, but I never imagined that this No. 23 Huainan Road would be so desolate.

As the saying goes, when the night is dark and the wind is high, when you kill people and set fires, you will meet in such a place at night, and no matter how you think about it, you will feel that the person who comes is not good. Tan Jian looked at the environment, his expression became serious, and he walked forward quickly,

Number 19......

Number 20......

21st ......

No. 22......

Wait a minute.

Tan Jian and I stopped and looked at each other in amazement, for by the time we reached Gate 22, the old road had come to an end, and behind it was a large untouched hill overgrown with weeds, and in the dim light, the branches of various shrubs stretched out with teeth and claws.

I didn't know if I went around again, and there really wasn't a place like the twenty-three.

Facing Tan Jian's frowning brows, I felt a little weak, and said in my heart, could it be that I checked the wrong address? Could it be that there is another Huainan Road?

I took out my phone and looked at the time, at 9:20, there were still 40 minutes left before the agreed meeting time, and now Baidu is still in time? I turned on my mobile data, intending to cram, but as soon as I took out my phone, I heard a thud, followed by a burst of cold water, drenching me from head to toe.

…………

People are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth. I looked up, and in the residential building next to me, an old lady was holding a basin of water, and her old face showed embarrassment, and she said repeatedly: "Ouch, why are there still people, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

I wiped the water from my face, looked at the old Nokia that had been with me for three years, and at the moment, it was dripping with water, and I tried to press it, and found that the screen was no longer lit.

Tan Jian didn't hide from it, and the very elite hairstyle she combed on weekdays was messed up by a basin of water at this time

I hope this is not footwash......

The old lady hurried downstairs, and said that she was sorry, and that she was dizzy and could not see the people below, and invited us to come into the house and wipe it, but our clothes were so wet that we could not wear them at all, so she found her son's old clothes for us to change.

While wiping my hair, I looked at the layout of the room, it was very simple, the furniture was very old, and there were a lot of graffiti on the walls, and there were pictures of Ultraman and other things. Sensing my gaze, the old lady also looked at the painting on the wall and said, "My little grandson painted it." ”

I didn't hear anything else when I came in, and it seemed that the old lady lived alone, so I asked, "At such an old age, you live alone?" "This place is an industrial area, and the surrounding facilities are not perfect, so it is not very suitable for living.

The old lady estimated that she hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time, and while making us hot tea, she nagged up, to the effect that she had lived here for most of her life, and was reluctant to go, and her children and grandchildren had their own children and grandchildren, and now young people don't like to live with the elderly, so they simply lived by themselves, fortunately, their children are filial, and they often come to visit, but unfortunately, this area will be demolished soon.

It seems that the old lady herself is quite happy to live here, after wiping her hair, I remembered the incident on the 23rd, so I asked the old man, the old lady's surname is Xia, and her figure is still very tough. After I asked, Mrs. Xia thought about it and said, "No. 23...... Oh. She showed a sudden realization, and immediately asked us: "You are looking for No. 23, are you here to find someone?" This was all called more than ten years ago, why not come during the day? ”

I said in my heart that it wasn't the perverted woman who made an appointment for the night, but it seemed that Mrs. Xia knew such a place, so I asked, "Why didn't we see the house?" ”

Mrs. Xia said, "You see that mound, right?" In the past, there were no mounds, it was a flat land, and the soil that was piled up into the hills was excavated by exploitation, and it was all piled up here, so it was blocked. You've climbed over this mound, but isn't it good to go at night? If you are in a hurry, you can stay with me for one night and go back early tomorrow morning. ”

I looked at Mrs. Xia's kind face, and I was moved in my heart, people in this year are very guarded, where will strangers let people stay at home. On the contrary, these old people who have little education don't have many eyes, so I said, "Don't bother you, let's leave when we're done." ”

Since we had to climb the hill, we borrowed two flashlights from Mrs. Xia, and the two of us began to climb the hill.

Man is really a fragile and great life, an unarmed person, a poisonous snake can poison him, wolves can bite him to death, cattle and sheep can trample him to death, once back to the natural environment, man is particularly powerless. But at the same time, the wisdom that people possess gives them the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

Shenzhen is located in the coast, originally a place surrounded by mountains, the original inhabitants of Shenzhen lived, that is, a very small piece of land, after the reform and opening up, see the mountains and push the mountains, see the sea reclamation, only to transform it into the current appearance, a horse flat river.

The so-called hill in front of us, if Mrs. Xia hadn't told us in advance, I could hardly have thought that it was piled up by people, because it was indeed very large.

Tan Jian and I climbed over the hills in the dark, this black light blinded the fire, barren mountains and mountains, I had a feeling that I was going to be killed for money, so I said: "You said, she asked us to be in such a remote place, she didn't want to ......"

Tan Jian said: "She wants to kill you, thousands of miles away." ”

I was choked by his words, indeed, that woman seems to be able to manipulate the worm in my stomach, and can make me die of pain and come back through the phone, if you want to kill me, you need to go so far? But the problem is that the object she wants to attack is not me at all, I am just unlucky, what she really wants to murder is Tan Jian or not.

Thinking about it, I said it directly: "...... Do you have a weapon with you? Boss, will you do anything other than divination and feng shui? Don't those people in the movie have unique skills and are very capable of fighting? ”

Tan Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, told me to shut up, and deducted my salary if I talked nonsense.

Okay, it's good to deduct anything, don't deduct your salary, I touched my nose and planned not to ask any more. Who knows, at this moment, in the dark forest, a terrible cry suddenly came.

"Woo ......!!!"

The sound was not like a human, nor like a cat or dog, but like the cry of some unknown animal.

This area is close to nature reserves, and the management of nature reserves in Shenzhen is very good, and some rare wildlife can indeed be found from time to time.

However, this voice is too strange, why does it sound so creepy? It's like the screaming of an animal when it encounters danger, and it makes people's ears sore.
