"What did you say?" I screamed almost immediately, so I hurriedly covered my mouth and looked around, but luckily no one noticed me. However, after listening to Liu Zhen's words, I only felt a cool breeze coming from my back, and suddenly I felt that I had fallen into some huge conspiracy.

Wang Chengbao died thirty years ago? This news is so strange that if Liu Zhen told me that Wang Chengbao had died last month, I could even grudgingly accept this fact, but he said such a situation that I could not even dream of. People who have been ancient 30 years ago, why should anyone mention it 30 years later? If Wang Chengbao is really dead, then who is the old man sitting in the Qingming Teahouse? Why the hell did he impersonate someone who had been dead for thirty years to approach me?

I suddenly remembered that Wang Chengbao wanted to see the jade plate on Bu Jin's neck just now, and said in my heart, is it for that jade plate? This is very likely, because if everything is really as Liu Zhen said, the person who called me last night was not my father, but someone else, then the old man in the Qingming Teahouse must be his accomplice, and the thing that both of these people mentioned was the jade plate around Bu Jin's neck, could it be that they came for the jade card?

I was thinking about it intently, when I heard Liu Zhen say on the side: "Peixi, Peixi, are you still there?" ”

I came back to my senses and responded, "It's still there." ”

"Did something happen?" Liu Zhen asked with concern.

At this point, I was caught in a difficult choice. The message Liu Zhen gave me was by no means unfounded, because he seemed to be well aware of my recent affairs, but it was difficult to believe that the person I spoke to last night was not my father. Now, whether it is Wang Chengbao in the Qing Tea Teahouse, or Liu Zhen who is talking to me on the phone at the moment, I know that I must believe one of them. It's very difficult for me. Because real life is not the plot of the movie after all, what Liu Zhen said is too bizarre and weird, and in comparison, the phone call that my "father" called me last night seems more reasonable.

I was hesitating, obviously, Liu Zhen on the other side of the phone had already guessed what I was thinking at the moment, so he said: "Peixi, I know that what I am saying now sounds very bizarre, even like a fantasy, but I ask you to believe me." You can even investigate that Wang Chengbao, but the current conditions don't allow us to do that. ”

Believe you? I thought to myself, I really can't believe anything now.

Liu Zhen continued: "If you don't believe me, you will encounter a very, very dangerous situation, if I don't scare you, to put it bluntly, your death will not be far away." ”

"Phew!" I spit out three times in a row, and my heart said what is this called, isn't this a curse on me? That Liu Zhen has always been like this, he will say anything directly, and never beat around the bush. Sometimes, his character is very lovable, but sometimes, his character is also very helpless. Liu Zhen and I are very close friends, and there are not too many taboos between each other, so I scolded directly: "What the are you talking about? I haven't lived long enough. ”

"Then you must take my word for it." Liu Zhen said with great certainty.

I said in my heart that the content of what Liu Zhen said was bizarre, but we have known each other for many years and are very familiar with each other. On the contrary, I only occasionally heard my father chant his name when I was a child, but I never saw him in my memory, even if he really put an imposter in front of me, I can't tell the truth from the fake.

So, I said into the phone: "Lao Liu, I believe in you, what should I do now?" ”

"Hold still." When Liu Zhen heard that I finally believed him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "You have to hide yourself well, find an inconspicuous hotel to live in, and try not to go out unless there are special circumstances, and when I arrive in Yunnan, we will discuss the next step." Also, don't go to that fake Wang Chengbao. ”

As soon as I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and said, "Lao Liu, I have to tell you a rather unfortunate news......

As soon as I was halfway through my words, someone suddenly slapped me on the shoulder, and when I turned around, my whole body trembled, and the old man Wang Chengbao was already standing behind me at some point.

The old man's expression had changed a little compared to the previous moment, but I couldn't say why for a while, I just felt that his eyes were staring at me directly, and there was a kind of aggressive momentum.

At this time, Liu Zhen's "hey" voice came from the phone in my hand, and I subconsciously pressed the button to end the call. The old man raised his eyebrows and said to me with a smile, "Big nephew, if you don't drink the tea in the house, it will be cold." ”

It was probably after I talked to Liu Zhen just now that I left a shadow on my psyche, at this moment, I always felt that the old man was eerie and eccentric, and even his smile looked weird and contrived. I nodded hurriedly and said, "Hey, it's good, I'll go back now, I'll go back now." ”

At this time, the mobile phone in my hand rang again, and I didn't need to look at it to know that it must have been Liu Zhen's call, so I hung up the phone directly. The old man glanced at my phone and asked tentatively, "What, the eldest nephew is in a hurry?" ”

Thanks to my brain reacts quickly. Urgent? That's just an excellent reason to get out of here. In the past, every time I went out for a drink with my friends, I often used this trick to get away and leave, but I didn't expect it to be used on such occasions now, so I casually echoed: "Ah, yes, yes, a friend of mine suddenly said that there was something wrong with me." ”

"Friends? Do you still have friends in Yunnan? "The old man was clearly suspicious of my words.

But fortunately, I have a super strong ability to talk nonsense from the editor, and I didn't even think about it, so I replied directly: "It's a former college classmate, and his hometown is in Yunnan." He learned that I was in Yunnan now and wanted to meet me, so he went to his house to stay for a few days, and I thought there would be no need to trouble you, Uncle Wang. ”

"No, you can't go." The old man's words made me almost roll my eyes, and I heard him say: "I have been entrusted by your father to take care of you, so I must be responsible for your safety, and besides, your father must have told you that you may experience many strange things during this period, and may even be in danger of your life, so I must not let you go casually." ”

So saying, the old man put his hand on my shoulder, and was about to take me back to the teahouse. I hurriedly stretched out my hand to block it, but at this moment, I obviously felt that the old man was making a move, my shoulders were sore, and I didn't even have the strength to resist, and I was surprised in my heart, I didn't expect such a seventy-year-old man to have such great strength.

"Why, eldest nephew, can't you still trust me? Did someone say something bad about me to you? The old man asked.

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, I'm just afraid of bothering you!" "I said in my heart that the three words "old rivers and lakes" are really not called in vain, don't look at this old man who is still a big nephew, and he is called very kindly, but in fact, maybe he has been eavesdropping on my call with Liu Zhen for a long time just now.

With that, I went back to the teahouse with the old man. But as soon as we entered the teahouse, we saw a strange thing. There was a strange man in his thirties sitting at the edge of the table where we were sitting at some point, and at this moment, he was saying something to Bu Jin, as if he was talking.

Old man Wang Chengbao and I couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at each other, obviously, we didn't know that man.

At this point, the man seemed to notice both of us, looked up, and then stood up and walked towards the two of us. I always had a sense of déjà vu when he came, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him for a while. The man came to our side, didn't stop, and walked out of the door after rubbing Wang Chengbao's shoulder.

The old man Wang Chengbao looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

I scratched my wrist and said, "I don't know, and I don't know where he came from." ”

When Wang Chengbao heard this, he went to ask the owner of the teahouse. The boss told us that the man had been here early this morning, except that he had been sitting in the private room in the back room, drinking tea by himself, and not saying a word.

Back in my seat, I asked Bu Jin if he knew the man just now, and Bu Jin just shook his head. That Wang Chengbao also seemed to be curious about the identity of the man, but, in comparison, he was obviously more interested in the jade plate around Bu Jin's neck now, so he once again asked to see the jade plate.

This time, I didn't ask Bu Jin, and said directly to Wang Chengbao: "Uncle Wang, you also saw it, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that the jade card is someone else's thing after all, she doesn't want to show it to others, and I don't ...... it."

Before I could finish my words, I was stuck, and Bu Jin beside me was also stunned. Wang Chengbao obviously noticed our reaction and asked with some puzzlement, "What's wrong?" ”

Neither Bu Jin nor I squeaked, I don't know how Bu Jin reacted now, but my heart was beating wildly. Because, I suddenly saw just now, at some point, a slender centipede crawled out of Wang Chengbao's shoulder. At first, I almost mistook it for the centipede in Bu Jin's small wooden box, but on closer inspection, this centipede was completely different from Bu Jin's. Bu Jin's centipede is green-backed and yellow-clawed, and it is huge, and the one lying on Wang Chengbao's shoulder at the moment is black and shiny, thin and long, but the feet on both sides of it are more slender.

I didn't dare to alarm Wang Chengbao rashly, but whispered to him not to move. However, that Wang Chengbao has already seen from the eyes of me and Bu Jin at this moment, and at this moment, there must be something on his shoulder.

As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats. In fact, people's curiosity is no worse than that of cats, although I have whispered to that Wang Chengbao not to move, but from my frightened eyes, he can also feel that something is wrong. Almost instinctively, he reached out his arm and patted himself on the shoulder.

However, this time, the centipede did not shoot off, but gave the guy a heat. I saw that the jet-black centipede raised its head like a snake, and almost instantly, it quickly climbed up Wang Chengbao's cheek, followed the trend, and went directly into his ear. Wang Chengbao screamed and hurriedly reached out to pluck his ears, but this puff was obviously too late, the centipede was surprisingly fast, and in a blink of an eye, most of his body had disappeared into his ears, Wang Chengbao only pulled out the centipede's two hind legs. Immediately afterwards, he saw that the old man jumped up from the rattan chair at once, threw the broken leg of the black centipede to the ground, and stepped on it with his foot, and seemed to be very frightened.

That Wang Chengbao stepped on it desperately, and suddenly listened. His eyes were wide open, his face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead and temples bulged at once, and at first glance it looked as if an invisible hand was holding his neck at the moment. At this time, everyone in the teahouse looked at Wang Chengbao in unison, some felt scared, and some were in a hurry to call the 120 emergency number. However, Wang Chengbao seemed to be dying, he covered his neck with both hands, and a trace of black blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

Centipedes are poisonous, which I have known since I was a child; The centipedes in the south are more poisonous than those in the north, and people with a little common sense naturally understand this. But I know that no matter how poisonous a centipede is, it is just a worm, and I have never heard of a person being poisoned by a centipede, but if the centipede crawls into your head along your ears, it is difficult to say.

I was overwhelmed by the sudden change in front of me, and I felt a trace of horror when I saw the painful expression of the old man Wang Chengbao, and even subconsciously touched my own ears. However, when I looked at Na Bu Jin again, I found that she was sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, and except for the stunned look just now, she had been watching everything that happened unusually quietly.

At this time, the owner of the teahouse and several other old retired cadres had already rushed over, helped Wang Chengbao, and asked questions, and a bald old man was still shouting on the side: "Hold on, hold on, the ambulance will come soon." ”

However, those people obviously didn't see the scene where the centipede crawled into Wang Chengbao's ears just now, and they all thought it was a heart attack.

In this moment of panic, the corner of my eye suddenly glanced outside the teahouse, and I found that the mysterious man just now was standing quietly outside the teahouse and watching everything that happened here. I looked at the man, my head buzzed, and I suddenly remembered where I had seen him.

It was my first night in Yunnan, at the Wuzhan Hotel, in the middle of the night, lying on the window staring at my miserable white face. That's right, the owner of that face is him!
