Chapter Twenty-Six: The Smoke Man Returns

After listening to the story of the fifth master, the fat man and I were silent, it seems that I guessed it, and someone really wanted to do something against the inverted craftsmen in the capital. And it's certain that it wasn't the "big hats" who did it, just look at the robbers' skills and know that they are not ordinary ordinary people. Now that the enemy is dark and we are in the dark, it seems that we need to be more careful.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell the fifth master about someone trying to poison me and the fat man. After listening to my story, he was very surprised, snatching things and killing people are completely two different kinds of problems, and it seems that things are much stricter than he imagined.

I comforted the fifth master and said: "Maybe the person who harmed me and the fat man has nothing to do with this matter of the fifth brother, it is purely a revenge for the two of us or the stranger, you don't have to worry too much." ”

The fat man scolded angrily on the side: "His grandmother, if I catch this group of eight lambs, I will definitely steam them." ”

I thought of the old man who was traveling, so I asked the fifth master: "Fifth brother, does the old man know about this incident in the antique shop?" ”

Fifth Master Zha shook his head and said, "The old man and a group of friends went abroad to Russia for a tour, and they are not in the country, so they don't know what happened here. ”

I didn't look very good and said to him: "My old man has also gone abroad, and in a few days, I and the fat man will also go to the field to do something very important, and I can't stay by your side to help, how can this be good?" ”

Fifth Master Zha looked at me and the fat man, and said gratefully: "Don't worry, there will be no major incidents here." I don't believe anyone can do anything to me? Besides, there are many people around me, and the heads of the eight families outside the capital have also heard the news. They have also sent someone to say hello, as long as I have something to do here, they will definitely not stand idly by, you two can rest assured. ”

I heard him say this, a lot of peace of mind, the money can be earned again if it is lost, as long as people don't have accidents, it's not a big problem. I was very worried and told the fifth master: "Fifth brother, when you go out, bring a few more people with you." Be careful in everything and never do anything dangerous. ”

Fifth Master Zha nodded, and the fat man also said beside him: "Fifth brother, if you have something, you can call someone to come to the other place to inform you." We'll be here right away. You need to take care of yourself. With that, we both stood up and took our leave.

Fifth Master Zha stood up and sent him off: "You two should also take care of your body." ”

The two of us said goodbye to the fifth master and returned to the store in the other place, the aunt of the curtain was cleaning, she was extremely industrious every day, and it was rare for her to be idle and lazy.

The fat man and I stayed in the antique shop in front, so I asked the aunt to go to the old house behind to cook, and then I came back to inform us when it was ready. She nodded immediately. I opened the curtain door behind the glass display case and walked into the narrow alley behind. As I listened to her footsteps fade away until they were gone. Then he asked the fat man, "Fatty, what do you think?" ”

The fat man looked at me and asked, "You mean the matter of the fifth master?" ”

I nodded and asked him, "Are you afraid?" ”

The fat man said disdainfully: "I'm afraid of a ball!" Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, I think they are tired and crooked. ”

I smiled and said to the fat man: "It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow, so you don't feel nervous and scared at all?" ”

The fat man still had a coaxing expression and said, "These eight lambs, just let the horses come." Fat man, I can sit on them with a butt, they come to one and I sit one, come to two and I sit with a pair, just put it in the store as a leather carpet. ”

After listening to the fat man's nonsense, I laughed and scolded: "Your braggadocio skills are a top trick, in case there is an unknown enemy agent who comes to sneak attack, I will definitely stand by and watch the excitement, see how you show your skills and sit on the carpet?" ”

The fat man laughed and said to me, "You girl just stand next to me and watch the show!" You can't intervene anyway, and even if you do, it's a disruptive disservice. ”

Hearing the fat man's words of contempt for me, I immediately sneered at each other angrily: "When did I help me, sir, you don't bury me." You're a girl with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, without me, you can't even find a fight, just kung fu has a fart. Besides, if you are as civil and military as the little brother who smokes, you have the qualifications to pretend to brag, you know? ”

When the fat man heard me mention the cigarette man, he thought of all the past experiences, and he was a head shorter than the cigarette man, and he couldn't help but get angry. He is now most annoyed by others to compare him with the cold cigarette man, and immediately continued to ridicule me very dissatisfied: "You are good, you have a pretty good face, you have a false smile all day long, a belly full of flower intestines, and a small white face as soft as a steamed bun, but it is not as economical and practical as a steamed bun, at least the steamed bun can still be used to fill your stomach, what can you use it for?" ”

I was not convinced and said to him: "You compare me with a steamed bun, is this comparable?" Master, my whole body is not stronger than steamed buns. Besides, you're a dead fat man, just hello, and you won't change new words. It's still soft, how do you know that I'm not hard, sir, I have nothing but a soft heart. ”

When the fat man heard what I said, he laughed evilly on the side. At this moment, the curtain aunt walked in and informed us that dinner was ready.

It's already dark, and there are usually no more customers in the antique store at this time, and most people don't come to buy antiques in the middle of the night with brain cramps, and the lights are dim and unknown, and it is easiest to drop the items, which is not a good time for buyers and sellers to do business. I saw that it was dark tonight, so I locked the gate on the window of the antique shop and went to the back house to eat.

After the meal, the fat man sat on the chair and fell asleep, the door curtain aunt began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I moved a chair to sit in the yard to enjoy the cool, heard the sound of Aunt Huifang walking around in the courtyard, turned her head suddenly, and asked her busy back: "You are a good person, right?" ”

The aunt of the curtain was startled by my sudden questioning, and stood stiffly and motionless, not thinking about how to answer me for a while.

I turned my head back to look at her again, turned my back to her and shook the fan, and said casually to the air in front of me: "The fat man said that he believes that you are a good person, even if you dare not show your true face for any purpose, it is also a last resort to protect yourself, he is convinced that you will not do harmful things, I hope his idea is right." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps behind me, slowly disappearing into the dim distance, and my heart became heavier and heavier. Looking up at the night sky, the silent night sky seemed to be blackened with satin, shrouded in the earth endlessly, and there were no stars like jewels on it, only the lonely moon face, which was particularly dazzling and bright.

I thought about whether the prisoner who had been hiding in the shadows to manipulate and poison me and the fat man was the same person who was robbed this time, and I was not sure. What worries me more is the disappearance of the locksmith king, who closed the shop after I came to the door with a secret color porcelain box, and has not been open until now, and the people have disappeared without a trace. Is this a coincidence, or is there another reason? This confusion made me a little uneasy.

Often, it is the small things that seem to be unconnected, and there is a huge conspiracy behind them, and when these chaotic dots are connected into a line, the truth of the truth will come to the surface, but now there are too many unclear things that make me inexplicably worried.

It seems that I will have to find other skilled craftsmen to open the secret color porcelain box and learn the secrets hidden inside. However, the secret lock on the secret color porcelain box is not something that ordinary people can open lightly, which has also become a very headache.

After all, everything will be a blessing rather than a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Thinking about it, I was relieved all of a sudden, and the corners of my mouth involuntarily naturally raised, and my heart said: It seems that the wonderful life I am looking forward to is finally about to begin.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the fat man got up early and went to the store of the fifth master to help. Originally, I should also go to the side of the fifth master with the fat man to help him investigate the robbers. However, I suddenly noticed that the behavior of the curtain aunt became a little strange, and she began to stay unstable only in the antique shop, but frequently appeared in the ancient mansion of the strange man, which made me very relieved of her, so I had to stay at home and monitor her every move, so I let the fat man go to the shop of the fifth master to help alone.

Two days after the fat man left the strange house, the long-awaited cigarette man finally arrived.

Now the weather is very warm, he is still wearing a high-necked velvet jacket, a thick trench coat, a pair of cold eagle eyes are still shining with cold light, with a cigarette in his mouth, as soon as he stepped into the door, he didn't even say hello, so he said to me: "Hurry up and pack your things and come with me." ”

I looked at the smoke man who looked hurried and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry that you don't even drink saliva?" ”

The cigarette man immediately said to me: "There is a reason for it, Shandong" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by my outstretched hand. I glanced at the curtain aunt in the store and said to her, "Sister Huifang, you look at the store first, I'll go out and come back immediately." With that, I pulled the cigarette man and walked out of the store.

The cigarette man glanced back at Huifang, and then followed me out of the store.

On the way to the shop of the fifth master, I asked the tobacco man curiously: "Brother smoke man, why did you have to leave in such a hurry when you just arrived in Beijing." ”

Yan Nan explained: "This time the fight is in charge of someone else, they have already arrived in Shandong first, I will personally pick you two up, and I will immediately meet them when I receive someone, and I can't let them wait for a long time." ”

Hearing the smoke man's explanation, I knew that there were other people, although I guessed that the smoke man would bring a partner, but I didn't expect the smoke man to be the head of the business. Last time, he took his sworn brother to fight, but the second and third children were folded in the fight, which should have hit him hard.

Then I guess that the man who is waiting for our partner, the cigarette man should not be very familiar.

A strange partner, an ignorant underground chamber, not knowing what will happen to the unknown and unpredictable? (To be continued......)
