Chapter 5: The Strange Old Horse
"Who else have you talked to about this?" I asked.
Wang Xiaoyu shook his head: "The stakes are very high, I didn't say anything to anyone." Maybe it's wrong. ”
I said, "That's the end of it. At this time, my mind was spinning quickly, and it was full of conspiracy theories: "Xiaoyu, whether this matter is an accident or not, the two of us can know the truth." If it weren't an accident, someone was really committing murder, no matter what the identity of that person was, it wasn't something we could afford to provoke. ”
Wang Xiaoyu leaned against the wall, her face was not good-looking: "Liu Yang, I always feel that something is wrong." You know, I have a strong sixth sense, and now this feeling is very bad......"
I was about to say something when I suddenly glanced and seemed to see something flying by outside the window. I went to the window and poked my head out to see that it was nice and breezy outside, but the streets were empty. I shook my head, after all this stuffing, I'm also a little nervous now.
As we were talking, someone knocked on the door, and when we opened the door, we saw that it was Li Yang. Li Yang estimated that he had just come back, he was the core figure of the Lantern League, and there was such a big incident, and he couldn't see anyone outside the busy. He saw that there were only me and Wang Xiaoyu in the room, and a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his originally very serious face.
"Liu Yang, come out, I have something to look for you." Li Yang called me.
We went out of the room, and I closed the door and asked him what he was doing.
Li Yang looked at me: "How much do you pay attention to your image, someone told me that you have not come out of Wang Xiaoyu's room all the time." This is covered in the open and dark in the daytime, and the impact is not good. ”
I punched him: "Fuck off." Who owes so much? "I'm a little annoyed in my heart, just now I saw a few people who entered Xiaoyu's room and couldn't escape from the villa. Such a lewd voyeur style, a bit like a copper lock.
Li Yang threw me a cigarette: "Come with me." ”
"What for?" I asked.
"Go see the old horse."
I was stunned: "Didn't he come back alive?" What's going on again? ”
Li Yang wanted to speak and stopped, and said slowly: "It's a little weird. We'll talk about that until then. ”
Li Yang and I came out of the villa and walked towards the courtyard where Lao Ma lived. I hesitated, but I still didn't tell Wang Xiaoyu about seeing the chandelier. I subconsciously feel that this matter is not so simple, if it is opened rashly, it will implicate Wang Xiaoyu in it.
Li Yang was very keen, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "Lao Liu, your face is not good-looking." ”
I was afraid that he would see it, so I quickly interrupted and asked, "What the hell is going on with the old horse?" ”
Li Yang sighed and said that he heard that the old horse had come back alive this morning, so he hurriedly ran over. When I arrived, I saw that the old horse's eyes were dull, and he was covered in mud, as if he was rolling in the dirt, and there was no clean place on his body. And the body was covered with wounds, and the blood marks were shocking. The doctor sent by the resort examined his body very carefully, and said that it was not a major problem, but he was overly frightened.
Later, the old horse gradually regained his senses, went to take a bath, and only then came out to tell everyone that he had indeed fallen off the cliff at that time, and he was also a fortune teller, and he actually hung on a tree. It was dark and rainy, and the cliff was extremely steep, and although the straight-line distance was not too high, it took him a whole night to climb from the tree all the way back to the edge of the cliff, and only then did he save his life.
Hearing this, I said, "It's good to be alive, what's the strange?" ”
Li Yang didn't say anything, looking mysterious.
We arrived at the villa where Lao Ma lived, and the quiet courtyard was quiet. Li Yang said that the old horse had just come back and needed to rest, and their companions in the villa had left for fear of disturbing.
We walked through the small courtyard to the main house, all the doors were open, and the wind blew through the hall, although it was a hot summer day, but the room was very shady.
We looked around, there was not even a figure on the first floor, and the sound of cicadas outside seemed a little mysterious.
Li Yang and I walked down the stairs to the second floor, and before we could reach the top, we heard the voices of a man and a woman talking. I was stupid to go up, Li Yang grabbed me, lowered my body, and made a "shhh" gesture.
His move honestly made me uncomfortable. Lao Ma and he are very good friends, and they have a lifelong relationship, and they are so sneaky behind their backs to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit inferior.
The two men spoke softly, and it seemed that the place of conversation was not in the living room, but somewhere farther away.
I am very ashamed of Li Yang's behavior, and I have to go up. Li Yang was a little annoyed and made a vicious expression to warn me. Then I heard the man say, "Don't be afraid, I won't say anything." ”
I only heard a girl's whining cry: "Brother Ma, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing this voice, I chuckled in my heart, this girl was Lili last night.
"Alas, it's not interesting for the two of us to say that, what I'm sorry for, you didn't mean to. Actually, Lili, I'...... I've always liked you. Lao Ma said.
I really can't listen to it, this Li Yang is really not a thing, his good friend picks up a girl, he eavesdrops on the crack of the door.
"Brother Ma, how are your injuries?" Hearing this, I laughed secretly, this Lili is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when she encounters a sensitive topic, she quickly interrupts.
Lao Ma said: "I'm a rough man, and if I can't do anything else, I have good physical fitness." It was all bruises last night, or you look at it. ”
I only listened to the small pieces, and then Lili's voice was very shy: "Brother Ma......"
The old horse trembled and said, "Look how quickly my injuries have recovered......"
I stood up and coughed violently, and there was no movement on it. Li Yang glared at me, I ignored him, and went up to the second floor with heavy steps. Li Yang had no choice but to follow.
At this time, Lili came out of a room, blushed, and whispered, "Brother Li is here." ”
Li Yang seemed to have a great prejudice against her, and he didn't have a good face, so he hummed and walked into the room.
The room in the villa was very large, and when I went in, I saw a fat man with a big waist sitting on the bed. This fat man's stomach is about to catch up with Zhu Bajie, his height can be more than one meter eight, and his weight is estimated to be more than two hundred pounds. He was shirtless, with a large pair of pants underneath, and he could clearly see that the tent was being propped up. This kid has a hairy chest and bandages around his head, and he looks like a brazen deserter.
As soon as he saw Li Yang coming, he didn't care about the embarrassing situation in his crotch, stood up as soon as he stood up, pouted like this, and walked over to hug Li Yang.
Li Yang hehele: "It didn't disturb your good deeds, right?" ”
The old horse glared at him fiercely, and laughed with a snort: "Get out." He looked at me, "Who is this brother?" ”
I hurriedly stretched out my hand: "My name is Liu Yang." ”
Liu Yang ......" Lao Ma shook hands with me and remembered: "Is it the author who wrote "Hades"? Although you are not a member of the Lantern League, I have heard many people say that you have admired your name for a long time. I'm a big fan of yours and know a lot about your legends, and to be honest, I envy you. I'd love to have a chance to go with you. ”
We exchanged pleasantries, and I had a good impression of this person, who talked and laughed and was very hearty.
Li Yang pulled me and chatted with him. Chatting and chatting, Li Yang asked him about falling off the cliff. Suddenly, I was sure that it was not my own delusion, and the old horse, who was originally hip-hop, suddenly changed his aura. His face became extremely fast, and there was almost no transition from a big smile to a serious brow: "Didn't I say it several times, why do you still ask?" ”
The atmosphere in the room became strange and somewhat awkward. Lao Ma's unsmiling aura and attitude made me feel very uncomfortable.
Li Yang learned Lili's tone: "Brother Ma, are you angry?" ”
Lao Ma smiled: "Li Yang, Li Yang, don't you believe me?" I didn't die after falling off a cliff, which does sound a bit mysterious, but it's not unbelievable. I did fall into a tree and climbed all night before I came up. I don't have to hide anything, do you think I'm Superman? Can't you fall to death? ”
Looking at the old horse in front of me, I suddenly had a sense of déjà vu with his certain temperament. It seems to have been seen somewhere.
"Then you can rest well." Li Yang pulled me out of Lao Ma's room.
Walking out of the villa and seeing that there was no one around, Li Yang asked me: "Do you feel different when you see the old horse?" ”
I was stunned for a moment: "What do you say?" ”
Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "Maybe I'm wrong and shouldn't have come to you." Let Ye Daining or Qin Dan come, the effect may be better. ”
"What do you mean?" The more I listened, the more confused I became.
Li Yang said: "Qin Dan knows spells. Ye Daining, you may not understand, this person has yin and yang eyes. ”
As soon as I heard this, I came to my senses: "You mean, this old horse...... Got ghosted? ”
"When he came back this morning, he was covered in injuries, and it was only a few hours before he recovered so quickly."
I laughed, and it turned out that his reason was this, and I said, "What's so strange about this." ”
Li Yang shook his head: "When he was taking a bath in the morning, I went in to hand over the towel, and I saw with my own eyes that a wound on his thigh that was almost deep to the bone was slowly healing. I haven't been in contact with the old horse for a long time, and this time I have a very strange feeling when I see him again, he is not the old horse I am familiar with. ”
I don't know Lao Ma, and I don't have much experience of Li Yang's feelings.
Li Yang suddenly looked at me: "Do you remember that Lao Ma seems to have reached an agreement with Lili, and Lao Ma promised her not to tell her anything, what will it be?" ”
