As soon as the man outside the teahouse saw me, he immediately left. I immediately grabbed Bu Jin and said, "Let's go!" ”

Bu Jin picked up the cloth bag and rushed out of the crowd with me to the outside of the teahouse. I looked up and saw that the man had walked far away, barely seeing. So, I pulled Bu Jin and hurriedly ran to catch up. The man didn't look back, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, just turned left and right in a big stride, and walked forward.

To my surprise, although I was the man I met in Wenshan, he seemed to be very familiar with the location of Kunming, and he barely needed to speed up his pace among the alleys and high-rise buildings, and it didn't take long to throw me away. And I was not from Kunming, and I had a suitcase and backpack in my hand, and it didn't take long for me to lose the man.

At this point, I looked around again, and I didn't know where I was. Although I was a little frustrated, I thought that Liu Zhen had just called me and told me not to look for the fake Wang Chengbao, although his news was a little late, but I finally got rid of that Wang Chengbao by chance. I thought to myself, now according to what Liu Zhen said, find a remote hotel to live in, and wait for him to come to Kunming to make plans.

I hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take me to a small but neat inn where I stayed for a while. This time, I booked two double rooms, because the thought of sleeping with Bu Jin's bag of poisonous insects gave me goosebumps all over my body.

When I arrived at the hotel, I hung up a phone call to Liu Zhen and told him that I had encountered some trouble just now, and he asked me what the situation was, so I briefly explained, but did not tell the mysterious man about it, but told him that the details of the matter would be discussed in detail when we met. Liu Zhen listened to my story and said to me: "This is really dangerous, but don't think that you can easily get rid of that fake Wang Chengbao, this operation fails, and the other party will definitely attack again to find your whereabouts." The hotel you are staying in now is best not too close to the Qing Ming teahouse you mentioned, because they will definitely conduct a large-scale investigation nearby. ”

"Don't worry, I specifically instructed the taxi driver to take me to a more remote hotel." I said, "But what are the other people, them, and who are those people that you are talking about?" ”

Liu Zhen said helplessly: "Actually, I only know a little bit about it, and the teacher just briefly explained a few words to me, and did not explain it in detail." In short, according to the teacher, we are in big trouble. ”

"Okay then, everything will wait until you get to Kunming." With that, I hung up. Nowadays, there are more and more puzzles, and what I am most concerned about in front of me is the mysterious man who has just been lost.

I came to Bu Jin's door and knocked on it, and when I saw that the door was hidden, I pushed the door and walked in. Bu Jin was sitting on the bed, wiping her tinkling silver jewelry with a handkerchief from an inn. When she saw me come in, she lazily looked up at me and went on wiping her jewelry. I scratched my wrists, walked to her bedside, sat side by side with her, and asked, "Bu Jin, let me ask you something." ”

She nodded, it seems that he still understands the meaning of this sentence, but I can only say the rest of the words like a monkey, and after asking questions, I can do a set of radio gymnastics. Fortunately, Bu Jin finally understood what I meant. I asked a few questions: first, did she know the mysterious man; Second, what the mysterious man said to her; third, whether the centipede on Wang Chengbao's shoulder is related to her; Fourth, and one of the most heartily asked questions, was where she got her jade plaque.

When answering the first question, Bu Jin just shook his head, although it was simple, but the answer was also very clear. As for the second question, she struggled to answer, as she seemed to be trying to search her head for the corresponding words and then connect them into sentences, but she didn't do it. She pointed out the window, and I thought she was probably referring to the mysterious man. Then, Bu Jin pointed at himself again and said, "Miao." As soon as I heard these two words, I was shocked, that mysterious man turned out to be a Miao person? So how did Bu Jin make his judgment? Could it be that the man said something to Bu Jin in Hmong? However, being able to speak Miao does not mean that they are Miao people, and in China, some Li people can also speak Miao language, so Miao language cannot become a symbol of Miao people. But I thought that since Bu Jin said so, she must have her own reasoning, so I asked her a third question. After listening to the third question, Bu Jin shook his head very resolutely, pointed out the window, and said "Miao". I understood what she meant, but I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, the black centipede was put on by the mysterious man? If this is the case, then why did the man do this? But as for the reason, Bu Jin didn't know, so I didn't ask too much.

Then I asked a fourth question. Bu Jin's attitude was the same as I imagined, I pointed to her chest, she subconsciously held the jade plate with her hand through the small shirt, and said three words to me with a firm look - "Ashuna". After that, no matter what I asked, she remained silent and continued to wipe her silver jewelry intently. I was helpless, but I also had a reason to comfort myself, at least, I finally knew that the jade plate was passed on to Bu Jin by Ashina. I sat in Bu Jin's room for a while, it was getting late, and I asked the innkeeper to help me ask for two dishes from a nearby restaurant and eat with Bu Jin. After eating, I went back to my room because of the taboo about Bu Jin's cloth bag.

As I lay on the bed in my room, scratching my wrists, I suddenly remembered something I had been ignoring all along—whether my mother was safe now. If everything had gone according to Liu Zhen and my father had disappeared on the third day I left Liaoning, then my mother would have been very worried. I know my mother too well, she is a typical little woman with poor psychological capacity, I can't imagine how my mother reacted when she found out that her father was missing. Just thinking about it, I wanted to call my mother, but as soon as I took out the phone, I remembered what Liu Zhen said about my "fake" father last night. Thinking about it this way, what is the current situation in my family? Could it be that someone has taken possession of it? And where is my mother?

I thought about it and thought it was the most likely that my mother would go to my cousin's house. My mother has loved her little niece since she was a child, so even after my cousin got married, she often came to my house as a guest. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I picked up my phone and made a long-distance call to my cousin.

When the phone was connected, I made a brief inquiry, and as I expected, my mother lived at my cousin's house. But my cousin seemed surprised that I didn't know about it, and asked, "Didn't your father tell you about it?" ”

When I told her that I had never known anything about it, my cousin said, "A few days ago, your father came to my house in a hurry, saying that he wanted your mother to stay with me for a while, saying that he was in a hurry to make a long trip. I asked why Wei Lu didn't arrange it at your house, and your father said that you would help him do something in Yunnan, so I didn't ask any more. That afternoon, your father sent your mother to my house. ”

"Then let me say a few words to my mother."

The other side of the phone hesitated for a while and said, "Peixi, my sister doesn't want to hide it from you, so I'll tell you the truth." The cousin pondered for a moment and continued: "Your father is gone, there will be no news from our side, call him, it is turned off, and he doesn't know where others have gone, and the whole person has almost evaporated from the world." You also know your mother's character, how can you withstand this kind of blow, and you can't afford to be sick since then. ”

I said with concern, "Then she's okay now." ”

"Now that she's asleep, the doctor told her to rest more, don't always think about it." My cousin continued: "In the past few days, I have also called many people who have close contacts with your father based on some phone numbers provided by your mother, but none of them know where your father has gone. Peixi, do you have any news? ”

I sighed and said no, and at the same time asked my cousin if she had called Liu Zhen.

"You're talking about your father's student," said my cousin, "and when I called him the day before yesterday, he also said that he didn't know where your father went." ”

I said in my heart that although Liu Zhen had received some instructions from my father, he would probably not know where my father was. Then I asked, "Then my parents' house is empty now." ”

"Of course, can you still be a thief?"

I agreed, it seems that Liu Zhen didn't lie to me, there is indeed no one in my parents' house now, but who was the person who talked to me on the phone that night? My mind was very confused, and I didn't have the heart to talk to my cousin anymore, but I just told her to take good care of my mother, and it would be a problem for her for a while. When it was over, my cousin warned me that southerners should be careful in everything when they are in the field.

After hanging up my cousin's phone, I called my partner's best friend Gao Peng again. Gao Peng is a well-known miser, which is a good quality in the profession of a businessman, but it is a bit stingy for friends. As soon as Gao Peng answered the phone, he said, "Fuck, big brother, what are you calling me in Yunnan?" Don't you know what long-distance and roaming mean? ”

Gao Peng told him about my trip to Yunnan, which I told him the day before I left. I remember that day he taunted me and said that it was the same with me or without me in the store, and sometimes, business was better without me. I was unhappy, but I had to admit that what Gao Peng said was the truth.

As soon as I heard Gao Peng's words, I didn't feel angry and said: "Then I'll make a long story short, Gao Peng, I'm here in Yunnan, and I won't be able to go back for a while, so our business has to be taken care of by you all the time." ”

As soon as Gao Peng heard what I said, he immediately said, "Is it difficult to achieve this bit of?" ”

"Of course not," I explained, "Gao Peng, you are my best friend, although you are usually a stingy person, and you have no other skills than trading, but, I have to say, you are the most trustworthy of all my friends." ”

"Gotta have it, don't fucking be hypocritical, okay? I'm getting goosebumps, if there's anything you can say, don't grind! Gao Peng said: "However, buddy, I am a principled person, I have a few requirements: first, we will not do anything that violates the law and discipline, and second, we ......"

"Where did you get so much nonsense? Just listen to me. I yelled impatiently.

Although Gao Peng is on par with me on weekdays, if I really lose my temper, he will still taboo me. I've been experiencing so many strange things these days, and I've just learned that my mother is seriously ill, and I'm really in a bad mood, and I can't control my emotions all of a sudden. But that's fine, Gao Peng won't continue to play tricks with me, but listen to me carefully.

I'm a stuffy person on weekdays.,Always a no-fight and easy to bully image.,Generally don't get angry.,And once you lose your temper, you're also famous for turning your face and not recognizing people.。 Gao Peng probably sensed my uneasiness, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Peixi, what's wrong with you, something happened in Yunnan?" ”

I subconsciously shook my head and said, "It's really hard to say," but I thought about it carefully, and I felt that this word was not appropriate. I continued: "Actually, I don't have much trouble asking you for help, it's just a trivial thing, you remember the key to my parents' house that I always keep in the store. ”

"I remember." Gao Peng said: "In the past, when you didn't have the money to buy a house, you always lost everything, and often forgot to bring the key, so you put a handful in the store as a backup. ”

"Yes, that's the key."

"What do you want me to do?"

I took a long breath and said, "I want you to take this key to my parents' house." ”

"Huh?" Gao Peng's surprise was as I expected, he said: "Big brother, which one are you singing, let me go to your parents' house with the key from an outsider, can't I knock on the door and go in?" It's like burglary. ”

"No, there shouldn't be anyone in my house."

"Oh, I see, that's fine, what am I going to do when I go in?"

I said, "Don't be in a hurry to ask this, I have a few more important words for you." First of all, you must go to my house at night, and secondly, before you go into the house, you must check whether the lights in our house are on, and if the lights are on, then you go back the way you came, and don't mention it to anyone, and then you secretly stare to see who is in and out of my parents' house. ”

"And what if the lights don't come on?" Gao Peng asked.

"Then you will quietly open the door and go in to see if there is any change in our house."

After listening to my words, Gao Peng asked hesitantly: "Peixi, do you suspect that your parents' house is a thief?" ”

Thieves? I thought to myself that the burglars were fine, and that would be a simplification, after all, I had never heard of a burglary thief pretending to be someone's father calling his son. I said, "Well, don't get to the bottom of it, just do it, and one more thing, be safe." ”

Probably because my tone was not as playful and angry as usual, Gao Peng seemed to smell a trace of uneasiness, so he said to me solemnly: "Don't worry, this matter is on me, I just want to say one word, don't stand up for yourself if there is anything, and buddy me." ”

Naturally, there was no need to say any thank you between the two of us, so I said yes and hung up the phone. I was tired, I didn't know what to do, and I was a little dizzy, like I had a cold and a fever. I thought to myself, it's been a lot of tossing in the past few days, and today it's not too late, so I quickly took off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I scratched my wrist, and since this morning, my wrist has been itching, at first I thought it was bitten by a mosquito in the hotel, but now that I took off my clothes and looked at it in the toilet, I couldn't help but be surprised, and saw that my left political arm was swollen, red like a big radish, and the arteries and blood vessels on my arm showed blue-black marks. The red and swollen skin was not painful or itchy, and it seemed that there was no feeling at all, but the wrist still felt itchy.

At first, I was still wondering how I got it, and then, in an instant, I suddenly realized that I remembered the box of red maggots in Bu Jin's cloth bag!
