Chapter 148: No Wind and Waves
Zhao Wan'er, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of sirens from far and near, and when she heard the sirens stop abruptly, she subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see the red and blue police lights flashing on the window glass.
Zhao Wan'er was stunned, with a hint of foreboding in her heart, she hurriedly woke up Shi Liya, and after the two of them got dressed, they knocked on Li Bing's room.
As soon as Li Bing opened the door, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya saw Zhang Yuanshan and Qian Yiduo staring out of the window without looking back.
The two of them then also looked over, only to see across the road, in the normal university, two cars in the seventh dormitory of the female students were blocked by the fence, and they could only see two police cars with red and blue police lights constantly flashing there, and there were many noisy voices on the opposite side.
"Something happened", the same thought came to the five people's hearts, especially the place where the police car was parked, which was the downstairs of the 507 dormitory of the girl they were most concerned about, which made them feel that they were afraid that there were seven evil gods about to return to their places.
Everyone glanced back at Li Bing, but they were surprised to see that Li Bing had already taken out the clay sculpture of the turtle and snake and respectfully placed it on the small table.
Sure enough, after a while, the turtle and snake clay sculpture began to vibrate slightly. While everyone stared intently at the clay sculpture of the turtle and snake, Li Bing focused his gaze in the direction of the 507 bedroom.
Suddenly, Li Bing roared: "Look, there are really seven evils about to return to their places." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, I saw the direction of the 507 dormitory of the girls' seven houses far away, and vaguely saw a small wisp of black thing floating slowly from the 507 dormitory.
The black smoke drifted out of the window of Li Bing's room. Through the glass window, everyone gasped in shock.
They vaguely saw that the swirling black fog suddenly appeared on Li Wei's face. It's just that unlike the beautiful face of Li Wei they usually see, half of Li Wei's face seems to be blurred with flesh and blood, and there is a piece of glass-like stuff inserted into it.
The black mist slowly increased its rotational speed, and suddenly silently passed through the glass window, and after circling the turtle and snake clay sculpture three times, it suddenly rolled into the turtle and snake.
Li Bing hurriedly picked up the clay sculpture and looked at it, and as he expected, the distance between the turtle and the snake was one step closer.
"Three", Zhang Yuanshan sighed and said: "I didn't expect that in addition to that associate professor Qian Mo, the other two Qisha would be Zhou Hua and Li Wei." Alas, it's really emotional. ”
After more than a month, everything that happened in the normal university has gradually begun to fade into oblivion, and everything has returned to peace.
During this time, Li Bing and several others ran around because they were bored.
Zhao Wan'er, in particular, fell in love with a steamed bun shop on the side of the wall of Normal University, and she often asked Li Bing to accompany her to eat steamed buns.
The steamed bun shop is not as narrow as in the city, but a very spacious two-bay storefront, and upstairs is the accommodation room of the owner and his wife and a man.
Although I only make a few big steamed buns a day, the business is quite prosperous, and in this remote place, it is quite good.
After a long time, Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er are also familiar with the couple and the guy in the bun shop.
The boss was in his 40s, he looked strong, and he almost always moved those big steamed buns around with his hands at once.
The boss's surname is Guo, and Li Bing doesn't know what his name is, anyway, he is used to being called 'Boss Guo' when they meet. Although he is a local, he worked in Shanghai when he was young and learned the art of making Nanxiang xiaolongbao.
Nanxiang Xiaolong began in the late Qing Dynasty Tongzhi period, is the traditional famous product of Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, at the beginning called Nanxiang big meat steamed buns, and later changed to Nanxiang big steamed buns, finally, set the current name: Nanxiang xiaolongbao, with thin skin, tender meat, juicy, fresh, beautiful shape is famous.
Boss Guo not only opened a steamed bun shop on the edge of the local university campus, selling large steamed buns that the locals like to eat, but also made several Nanxiang small cages every day. This Nanxiang xiaolongbao made Zhao Wan'er miss her hometown and visit it almost every day.
Boss Guo's wife was met when Boss Guo was working in Shanghai. Although he is not from Shanghai, he has learned to speak Shanghainese. Because Boss Guo has made a lot of money, he has a very prosperous life, and although the proprietress is also in her early 40s, she is dressed up brightly and fashionably.
The reason why Boss Guo's steamed bun shop is prosperous, in addition to his good craftsmanship, is largely due to the charm of the proprietress and her kind attitude of smiling people.
The guy invited by the bun shop, known as Wang Xiaoer, is not yet 20 years old. Although he looks thin, he is quite clever and capable, and he is Boss Guo's apprentice and partner.
Watching Li Bing accompany Zhao Wan'er to the steamed bun shop for breakfast every day, talking and laughing, Shi Liya felt very uncomfortable. Although she understands that she can't be compared with Zhao Wan'er, and she is not clean, and she is more than ten years older than Li Bing, Shi Liya, who longs for a peaceful life, has completely fallen in love with Li Bing, who can't be called a handsome guy at all, and even a little unable to help herself.
Seeing Zhao Wan'er happily inviting Li Bing to go to the steamed bun shop every day, Shi Liya's heart was always sour, and she politely refused Zhao Wan'er's invitation to her again and again, under the pretext that she didn't like to eat steamed buns.
Shi Liya often quietly followed the two of them alone, watching the two of them walk into the steamed bun shop with a smile from a distance, and felt even more lonely and miserable.
Out of her liking for Li Bing, Shi Liya slowly reduced the number of times she secretly reported the situation to Wang Liping. Wang Liping was very dissatisfied, and not only threatened to reveal Shi Liya's identity that was secretly spying on Zhao Wan'er by his orders, but also threatened to recover the huge debt owed to her.
Although Shi Liya knew that Wang Liping was only threatening and did not dare to really do this, because once Wang Liping did this, then he would not get anything, and his conspiracy and plan would be completely bankrupt, but Shi Liya did not dare to be careless, he was afraid that Li Bing would know, and he was afraid that the other three would also know.
After all, for so many years, Shi Liya, who has been accustomed to seeing the darkness of society and experiencing countless hardships, finally felt warmth and care in these four companions, even if all this is unattainable for her, just a mirage, Shi Liya does not want to be shattered so early, so that she will lose the last trace of nostalgia for life.
Fortunately, Wang Liping learned that Zhao Wan'er and his party had been nested in a small mountainous area for more than a month, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he delayed Zhao Wan'er's trip and bought time for him to actually control the power of Guangming Company.
Several people have been together for more than a month with nothing to do, which is also Shi Liya's wish, but she really can't bear the huge psychological pressure that one person bears secretly, and the jealousy of Zhao Wan'er, who sees Li Bing every day, going in and out of the bun shop in pairs.
Just as Wang Liping called her and asked Shi Liya to report on Zhao Wan'er's specific situation, Shi Liya's heart moved, and an idea suddenly popped up.
She perfunctory Wang Liping for a while, reassuring him that Zhao Wan'er and his party were trapped by many mysteries, and it was estimated that there would be no progress in a month or two, so Wang Liping was sent away.
In Shi Liya's thoughts, she wanted to try to prevent Zhao Wan'er and Li Bing from spending time alone. As long as the two of them don't really burst out of affection, once Zhao Wan'er returns to Shanghai and marries Wang Liping, then Shi Liya still has considerable confidence in her charming posture to conquer Li Bing.
Shi Liya was determined to find something to break the peace, and she thought of the charlatan Yuan Feng who asked her to buy and do things for her.
Shi Liya wondered why what this liar said was actually being verified one by one. She secretly thought in her heart, it seemed that it was indeed the will of heaven, and God was also using the mouth of this liar to skillfully give Li Bing clues and guide him to solve the mystery of Qianling.
Shi Liya decided to quietly date Yuan Feng and teach her face-to-face, so that Yuan Feng, a charlatan, could stir up some turmoil, so as to break the status quo and make some contributions to Li Bing's early collection of the Xuanwu Seven Evils.
In the evening of that day, Shi Liya quietly notified Yuan Feng by phone and made an appointment to meet at the edge of the Normal University. Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er also entered the steamed bun shop with a spring breeze on their faces.
It turned out that this morning, when Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er came to the steamed bun shop as usual, Boss Guo told the two with a smile that since Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er were frequent customers in their store, tonight, Boss Guo wanted to invite Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er to drink in his store together, and asked Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er to appreciate their faces.
As soon as Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er walked into the steamed bun shop, they saw a table full of dishes on the table, and Boss Guo and the proprietress were already waiting for them with smiles.
