Outside the window, the rain was still heavy, and the two of us were silent, and the room was filled with smoke and silence for a long time. These smokes, like a blurred illusion, many fragments flashed in them, the grandfather disappeared, left his hometown, worked hard, and then went bankrupt, went to fight, and betrayed his conscience in the choice between life and death.

I suddenly felt like a person who had been splashed with ink, and it was already dark. After a long time, I made a decision in my heart, looked at the tofu, and turned back to my room.

In the second half of the night, there was no further incident, and the next day, the weather gradually improved, and the repair team was repairing the road, which would not be opened to traffic until about six o'clock in the afternoon. I remembered what Ah Xiang said about the hot spring in Hall 7, so I made an appointment with Gu Da Beauty, and the two of them entered Hall 7.

It's a pool of hot spring water under a rock, with a door built outside, and it's bright during the day, and there are no people around. We looked closely, but we didn't see any difference. I thought to myself: maybe we're thinking too much about it? But for three years in a row, the hot spring pavilion has followed the dead people around the time, which seems too strange. Could it be that there is a problem with the feng shui in this place? However, hasn't that feng shui master already changed the game?

Just as Wen Min and I were about to give up, suddenly, I noticed a strange detail.

The hot spring water flowed slowly out of the crevices in the rocks, but when the water flowed out, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some red light flashing in the crevices, as if something was stuffed inside.

I looked left and right, and when I saw that there was no one around, I grabbed Wen Min, who was about to leave, and pointed to the crack in front of me, explaining the situation to her just now. Gu Da Meinu is also a curious person, the two of us looked at each other, and without saying a word, they came to the slit and looked inside.

This look, I saw that there was a red stuff stuffed inside, and I couldn't see what it was, but the color was red and orange, and it was as beautiful as the sunset, which made people unforgettable at first sight. ”

Wen Min was surprised: "What should I do if someone finds out?" ”

This place is a hot spring, so there are no cameras inside, only outside the door, and what we are doing inside, no one else knows. I said, "Who knows if we did it, just say it's broken." ”

Wen Min shook it, with a helpless look on his face, and said, "You, you always don't play cards according to common sense. That being said, she was eager to give it a try. The two of us found a decorative antique downlight on the table not far away, one for each person, and chiseled it with the pointed cone in the front. After two clicks, the slit became bigger and bigger, and at this time, Gu Da Beauty and I saw clearly, only to see that behind the slit, there was a basketball-sized melt space, which was filled with hot spring water, and in the spring water, there was a small red fish half a finger long swimming.

The fish is smooth and fusiformal, with scales reflecting the glow in the light, leisurely wandering in a small world, seeing us, as if curious, stopping in place, wagging its tail slightly.

Gu Da Meinu was surprised: "What kind of fish is this?" How can you survive in this stone crevice? And still in warm water? ”

I thought about it, and suddenly remembered some strange stories that Wei Nanjing had mentioned before, among which there was the saying of 'fish in the stone', it is said that the place where the fish in the stone is produced is either a place of great evil or a place of great luck, which is very rare.

I said in my heart: Could it be that this fish in the stone is the crux of the entire Longpan Mountain? Is it auspicious or evil? Wen Min heard me say this, and said; "According to you, this fish is a spiritual thing. I have heard the older generation say before: the mountains gather aura, the small mountains produce spirits, this stone fish in this place, I am afraid that it has absorbed a lot of Longpan Mountain's earthly energy, if it is taken away, this place may be too peaceful in the future. ”

I said, "In that case, it is better to just die." ”

Wen Min hurriedly stopped him and said, "No." If something with aura is rashly killed, I am afraid that it will lead to disaster. I was amused for a moment and said, "When did you start paying attention to these things?" ”

Wen Min glared at me, her beautiful eyes seemed to be angry, and said: "Who can be blamed for this, it's not all you, follow you, the zongzi have seen a dozen, can you not be superstitious?" ”

As soon as she said this, it reminded me of the weasel spirit in Yin Yang Liubu Village, and said that these exquisiteness really can't be ignored, and this fish in the stone is really rare, and I know very little about it, and it is rare and expensive, so it is a pity to die like this, so I said to take it first. When the time comes, it's not too late to figure it out and think about how to deal with it. There was a viewing fish tank not far from the hot spring, so we made a small fish tank, scooped up the hot spring water, and caught the fish in the stone.

In the afternoon, the road down the mountain was finally opened, and so big happened that no one here wanted to stay any longer, except for us, and the rest of the tourists also drove away. When we went down the mountain, we met a group of people surnamed Shi, and Shi Wei, who had broken his finger, seemed to be back to normal, and looked at me fiercely. Shen Li said worriedly: "Brother Chen, they will definitely retaliate against you afterwards." ”

I shook my head and said in my heart: Lao Tzu has done everything without conscience in the past two years, once a person gets dark, he is not afraid of anything, let him let the horse come. If he dares to play yin, I will dare to kill him!

Thinking so, he didn't bother with the Shi family, and drove all the way back to Shenzhen.

When I returned to the shop, it was already night, and after a tiring journey, I put the fish in the stone on the table, and I didn't care, it was too late, and the three of us ate a piece of instant noodles, hurriedly washed and went to sleep.

The next day, Gu Da Meinu received a phone call, saying that there was a big case in Beijing temporarily, and she had to go back to suppress the formation, so she rushed to the plane that afternoon and left.

Tofu was still in high spirits, I remembered the decision I made in the palace the day before, my heart was ruthless, I dragged Tofu in front of me, the two of them sat down at the tea table, and I said, "Xiaodou, let's have a good talk." ”

Tofu said: "I also happen to have something to tell you." ”

I smoked a cigarette and said lightly, "You can say it first." ”

Tofu let out a long breath, lowered his head, and said, "I said before that I would accompany you to find a solution to the curse, and I will not be afraid of any danger. But now I realize that I can't bear it, I'm not afraid of death, but I ...... It's going to crash. No one can say what will happen in the future, and I am afraid that one day, I will be forced to the same road and face the same choice. Lao Chen, I'm sorry ......"

I interrupted him, but I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and said, "I understand, actually, that's why I want to talk to you. Xiaodou, in the past ten years, the two of us have no relatives, supporting each other, sharing weal and woe, and we can be regarded as brothers who have broken bones and tendons. No matter what path we take in the future, this friendship will not change. ”

Tofu was surprised, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Old Chen, what do you mean?" ”

I said, "I know very well what my future looks like, and I can't go back." However, you can still go back, get out of here, live your own life, the experience of these two years, forget it. I took out the card I had prepared in advance, put it on the table and pushed it to him: "The capital of this shop is half of yours, I will return it to you in a while, there is only 100,000 yuan in this card, I run outside every day during this time, and the business is not taken care of. ”

When the one-eyed dragon heard this, he was very anxious and asked me, "What are you doing here, boss?" Did he make you angry, this, there is no need to break up the family. ”

I turned my head sideways and said, "Lao Zhang, don't worry about this matter, I have made up my mind." ”

Tofu raised his head, we looked at each other, this glance, I don't know how long, maybe it was short, maybe it was long, and finally he nodded and said, "I...... Give me some time, let me calm down, and I'll come back to you then. ”

I said, "If it's coming to visit my brother, I'm welcome, if it's something else...... Then you'd better not come back. ”

……

…………

Tofu didn't respond to my last word, was silent for a while, went upstairs to pack his things, and left that afternoon. I don't know where he picked it up, and although there was a phone, I didn't get in touch again. But I think, whatever is there, at least better than following me.

If the future is really dark, then let me go alone.

The Shi family's revenge came quickly, and that afternoon, a group of thugs who appeared out of nowhere suddenly rushed into my shop, smashing them with iron rods in their hands. You know, I'm an antique shop, and the things in it are half real and fake, and if you hit the real thing, you can smash it with a pole, and it will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The one-eyed dragon was red at the time, and he picked up a chair and started a fight, I am not a vegetarian, two against six, two groups of people hit the head and bleed. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was bare-handed, it would not be difficult to solve them, but it is a pity that these people are holding iron rods and steel pipes, as the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and we can't get close to each other at all. At that time, there were still many people outside, of course, no one dared to rush in to help, I was in a hurry, my heart was dark, the flying knife on my wrist was buckled, just as I was about to shoot at the wrist of one of them, a group of police suddenly rushed in.

I had to quietly put away the knives.
