Chapter 65: Everything is ready, only money is owed
Ma Yiao had his usual reserve written on his face, and said calmly: "You're polite, it's just a gesture." ”
Li Jun's husband stepped forward and preached to us, saying Dad, Mr. Liu and Mr. Hou are really trying to turn the tide this time, if they don't have them, you and your eldest brother will probably be in danger this time......
Ma Yiao was recommended by his wife Li Jun, and he made a great contribution to this matter, and when he saw that Uncle Nine was awake at this moment, he couldn't help but express his merits.
However, Uncle Nine had just recovered from a serious illness, his brain hurt straight, and he heard such sad news, obviously he didn't have the patience to listen to him, his face sank, and he directly reprimanded: "What Ah Ren? He's your second brother, you know? ”
Li Jun's husband didn't expect that his father would come to this time, and he was still protecting Wang Liren, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously argued: "Dad, you don't know ......"
Before he finished speaking, the old man glared and said, "Go out." ”
Li Jun's husband didn't expect him to be like this, he was stunned for a moment, he was unconvinced, he didn't move, and he left only under Li Jun's pull.
Uncle Nine said to us with a tired face: "The life-saving grace of the two of you is unforgettable, and when I rest, I will be grateful; I'm in trouble for the two of you today, Ah Fu, you take the two of you to live in the mansion, and when I finish handling the family affairs, I will have a banquet to thank these two masters. ”
He said everything about this, and Ma Yiao and I couldn't rush to ask for money as soon as they woke up and were anxious, so we had to leave the ward with Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu led us to live in a villa near the hospital.
There is a housekeeper and a cook here, sitting on the grandstand on the second floor looking down the mountain, you can see the dazzling Victoria Bay, after the two of them have eaten a well-prepared seafood feast, lying on the chaise longue in the stand, looking at the scenery outside the window, I said: "I really can't imagine that at noon, we are still squatting outside the tea restaurant, looking at the stalls where people come and go, swallowing saliva, and now we are lying in the most expensive Mid-Levels villa on Hong Kong Island to watch the scenery - you say, is life very strange?" ”
Ma Yiao stretched his waist and said What is this, our line of work, hunger and cold for a while, glory and wealth for a while, just a cloud of smoke.
I licked my lips and said, "Speaking of which, that geoduck sashimi just now is sweet and delicious, can you let them prepare some more tomorrow?" As for the fried crab with a shelter from the limelight, it feels a little oily, and the ingredients of the crab are good, but the cooking technique is average, so it's better for me to ......get it."
Listening to my idle talk, Ma Yiao laughed, and then said: "I don't think it will work tomorrow, we have to go to Chongqing Mansion at noon, and we made an appointment with that kid from Wei Chijing, have you forgotten?" ”
That's when I thought about it and said, oh, yes, yes.
After saying that, I remembered one thing, saying that we have good food and drink here, which is good, but when will the money be given to us?
Ma Yiao shook his head and said that he didn't know, he got the invitation to the auction tomorrow and got the admission ticket, and he would ask when the time came.
I remembered something again, was that the Raptor Nightcrawler I met today very powerful? When it came in, I felt that the whole space was suffocated, if it had a separate mind, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to escape, right?
Ma Yiao said no, you still haven't figured it out, why do people with demon bloodlines call themselves "night walkers"?
Yes?
Suddenly hearing Ma Yiao bring up such a topic, I couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it, and said why?
Ma Yiao said, "The principle of yin and yang, infinite changes, can not be exhausted, let me cite the important words; The husband speaks of yin and yang, or refers to heaven and earth, or refers to qi and blood, or refers to Qiankun, this treatment of the body, in fact, yang is unified with yin, heaven and earth, blood with qi, so the sage is easy" - this is the ancient theory of yin and yang, and there is orthodoxy for yang, the wrong way for yin, throughout the ages, human beings are orthodox, and the demon clan is the wrong way, for the yin, worship the moon, and the blood under the sun is insufficient. The difference in this point, the lower it is, the more imperceptible it is, and the more it goes to the top, the more significant it is.
I said, so that's where the Nightkin comes from?
Ma Yiao nodded and said yes, that guy didn't want to entangle, this is one of them; The second is the land of Hong Kong Island, where a hundred streams gather, I don't know how many heroes and heroes are stationed here, he shows his incarnation this time, the demonic spirit is overflowing outside, there must be a big take, if you don't leave quickly, I'm afraid that there will be a snake guarding the island. At that time, even if he wanted to leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave.
I couldn't help but laugh, what kind of snake guarding the island, why haven't I seen it?
Ma Yiao stared at me and said You haven't seen it? Have you forgotten who we worshipped yesterday?
I was surprised, saying that Master Wu Yingli is the island keeper?
Ma Yiao said yes, he is, but only one of them, these people are not all good-hearted, Hong Kong Island can maintain today's order, people can't see the dark place, there are all kinds of forces to compete, and anyone who wants to get into it will probably have to be counterattacked by these people.
I took a deep breath, sighed, and said that this river and lake is really complicated.
Ma Yiao smiled, took out the copper ball from his pocket, shook it, and said that the way to balance lies in the game.
I watched him play with it for a moment and said, "How the hell can you fit such a big spider into it?" That poisonous spider is as big as a basin......
He shook it, and then said: "This thing, called the Demon Refining Ball, was handed down by my master, in addition to the special material, it is said that there are many secret forging methods in it - the junior brother of Wudang Sword Immortal Li Jinglin, the hundred-handed craftsman Wen Bolong, got a volume of "Mo's Spring and Autumn" from the tomb of the Song Dynasty, and concocted it according to the ancient method to create a lot of demon refining balls. …”
I was a little puzzled, what is a foreign body?
Ma Yiao touched his chin, how to say, let's take this poisonous spider for example, it is not naturally golden, and its body will not be so huge, its appearance is artificially refined. This kind of unnatural formation can be called a foreign body.
He said again: "The material of the demon refining ball has a natural suction for this kind of thing, but if it is an ordinary thing, let alone such a big thing, even if it is a rabbit or a mouse, it may not be able to fit into it......"
I mean, this thing is really magical.
Ma Yiao agreed, saying that I have been trying to study everything I have seen from a scientific point of view all these years, but the end of science is theology, and it is precisely because we know too little that the scientific knowledge system formed since the Renaissance has not fully explained what happened to us......
The two chatted, in the middle of the moon, and before they knew it, they became sleepy, and they went back to their rooms to rest, and there was nothing to do all night.
The next morning, after we got up, breakfast had already been prepared, and after we had breakfast, Uncle Fu rushed over and told us that because there were too many funds, it was a little troublesome to raise, so we needed to wait for a few days.
After saying this, he gave us another 50,000 yuan, saying that it was for our expenses in the past few days.
If you run out, you can ask him for it again.
Ma Yiao was a little surprised, and asked a few more questions, only to learn that although Uncle Nine has several good industries under his name, because of the impact of the financial turmoil last year, there is not much liquidity on hand.
Whether it is from the stock market or the finances of listed companies, it takes some procedures and time, and I hope we can understand this.
Hearing the other party's sincere words, Ma Yiao and I didn't say anything more, saying that there was no problem.
Uncle Fu left, but arranged a car for us, Toyota Crown, which was enough for us, and after packing up a little, we left by car and headed to Chungking Mansion on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Chungking Mansion is a building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, which is nearly 40 years old and consists of five buildings with nearly 4,000 residents.
The reason why it is here is probably that it is famous enough, at least I, who have never been to Hong Kong Island, know it, after all, Wong Kar-wai's movie "Chongqing Forest" a few years ago is about this place.
However, unlike in the movie, it is actually quite chaotic here, coming and going, all of them are foreigners of Indian Asan and Pakistani origin.
And the way they looked at us was not very friendly, which made me very nervous.
Fortunately, Huang Maowei did not miss the appointment, and at noon, he sent someone to connect with us and handed us the invitation to the auction.
With the admission ticket, and then wait for Uncle Jiu to pay the salary, we can participate in the auction and take down the things.
Thinking of this, both Ma Yiao and I breathed a sigh of relief.
After days of running, I finally got a result.
Of course, Huang Maowei Chi talked about credibility so much, and we naturally reciprocated the peach, Ma Yiao found a place to make a phone call to Lao Wei, and asked his younger brother Ah Shui to release the two of them.
After doing these things, we returned to the Wang family's half-level villa, and stayed for several days, and I remembered the situation of meeting the bird of prey nocturnal stalker that day, and I felt more and more weak, so whenever I had free time, I pestered Ma Yiao and asked him about various problems encountered in his practice.
Ma Yiao is also very much looking forward to my growth, knowing everything and saying everything, and giving me great support.
In the past few days, I have gained a lot, I am obsessed with cultivation, and my heart is satisfied, until the day before the auction, Ma Yiao suddenly said to me: "Houzi, things may be a little wrong. ”
I was stunned, what did I say was wrong?
Ma Yiao asked me, "We have been here for several days, have you ever seen Uncle Nine or someone come to us to talk about the honorarium?"
I thought about it for a while, and I was shocked to find that not to mention Uncle Nine these days, even his eldest son has not shown up, Li Jun and her husband have come once, but they have no right to speak at home, and they can't speak; As for Uncle Fu, I have the impression that although he shows up every day, every time Ma Yiao asks about it, he says that he is doing it, waiting for news.
And in the past two days, he has not appeared again, so that there is no one else in this room except for two Filipino maids who know nothing.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but gasp, saying that this ninth uncle's family is rich, should it be, and he has to repay the debt, right?
