Chapter 178: The Mysterious Northwest Corner (1)
Lu Kun lowered his head and turned his face sideways to kiss her.
Xu Bai's hand suddenly pushed his chest: "I'm sorry, I can't do it for the time being."
Her words of sorry made Lu Kun's heart ache very much.
He dragged Xu Bai by the back and pushed the person up.
"Don't say anything to me, I'm sorry, the person who owes me is never you." Lu Kun lowered his eyes and squatted in front of her, hiding all the lust under his eyes.
Xu Bai sat on the edge of the bed, looked down at him, and said succinctly: "But my surname is Xu."
"So what? You have made the wisest decision. He curled up his fingertips and gently scratched the back of Xu Bai's hand.
Xu Bai sighed and told Lu Kun all the information he had obtained in the compound.
Lu Kun's expression was not surprised, because during his time at the archaeological institute, many questions were completely solved. However, Xu Bai's words can make the confessions that come out of the public security bureau more authentic.
Xu Bai said: "The so-called right decision is quite difficult for me. I walked with my dad that day just to let you live. In fact, Lu Yueping and Ding Lie teamed up to design my dad, and I know many details, and not reporting to my dad was the biggest contribution I made in the compound in those days. ”
"I know."
Xu Bai asked rhetorically: "Then do you know the reason?"
"Is it because of me?" The corners of Lu Kun's mouth curled with pride as he spoke.
Xu Bai glanced at him: "Yes, but not exactly."
Lu Kun didn't know if it was because he had been squatting for a long time or something else, and one of his legs began to go numb after Xu Bai finished speaking.
"For whom?" Lu Kun was inappropriately jealous, and he looked at her stupidly, desperate to know the most standard answer.
"And for myself." Xu Bai tilted his face towards Lu Kun and said word by word: "I don't want to accept the life my father arranged for me, I don't want to stay with a criminal, pretend that nothing has happened, and live a life with peace of mind." He should pay for his actions, which is the most just law of this society. I don't want to read so many books that it ends up being a joke, and I don't want to live in the shadow of the outside world for decades to come, which is very unfair to me. ”
Lu Kun's eyes lifted little by little, and the last pair of eyes were huge.
He wanted to thank Xu Bai for telling him this words so honestly, compared to the goddess who was not a goddess of fireworks in the world, Xu Bai who could say these words was more real and humane.
Lu Kun stood up and looked down at her: "It sounds like a selfish statement. But I know that you are not greedy. ”
Xu Bai was inexplicably amused by Lu Kun's words, and laughed a few times before retracting his smile: "Who said I'm not greedy, don't fantasize about me too well."
At least she's greedy for him, greedy for all he has.
The small light bulb overhead, with a bang.
The two of them looked up when they heard the sound, and the copper wire was bubbling with fire in the simple light bulb.
Lu Kun pulled Xu Bai up and hugged him.
Not long after, there was a bang, and the light bulb split apart, shattering the glass of a bed.
"It's a terrible environment." Lu Kun said.
Xu Bai walked over to clean up the debris, but Lu Kun grabbed her: "Don't move, even if you clean up, this sheet can't sleep."
Xu Bai nodded and stepped aside.
Lu Kun twisted the sheets, lifted them carefully, rolled all the broken glass into the sheets, and threw them in the corners.
Xu Bai opened the cabinet: "There is a clean one."
Together, the two of them laid out the futon they were going to sleep on at night.
Later, the landlord came in and changed the light bulbs for them, and asked them by the way: "Why did you go to this island?" You don't look like you're here to buy fish, and there's no tourism here, so ...... you?"
Lu Kun handed the landlord a cigarette and interrupted: "A friend brought us here, if you are curious, you can ask my friend, he lives in the room on my left."
Lu Kunren is tall and big, with a good figure, dressed in black clothes and a bald head, which makes him really not look like a decent image at all.
Xu is Lu Kun's eyes had a certain aura, and the landlord immediately pouted: "What I ask, it's none of my business anyway." A word of caution, my wife will come back from her hometown next week, you can stay for a few days and leave, and don't go to the northwest corner of the island. ”
The landlord's kind reminder provoked the two to be vigilant and curious.
After the two glanced at each other, Xu Bai asked, "Why can't you go to the northwest corner?"
The landlord said, "Don't go, just listen." Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
After the landlord finished speaking, he walked to the door with a half-broken light, and the moment he opened the door, he suddenly turned around and repeated: "Northwest corner, don't go, don't forget, I don't want to cause trouble."
After the landlord left, Xu Bai sat down on the wooden chair, and said with a folded eyebrow: "You said that Ding Lie took us to the island this time, will the target be the northwest corner that the landlord said?" There is also that thin man, who was pushed away by Ding Lie to do errands, and he didn't know what to do, he was mysterious. ”
Lu Kun said: "When I first went to the toilet, I had already asked for leave with Fu Zhongyi, and the staff of the archaeological institute and the relevant departments in Hebei will give support when necessary."
Xu Bai nodded.
After a short while, Lu Kun, who had not slept all night, finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Except for Xu Bai, the rest of the people also made up for sleep one after another.
At noon, Li Chunxiang got up and made lunch for everyone.
There are chickens, vegetables, and fish soup.
Several people gathered around a large table, Li Chunxiang brought out a plate of dishes, sat down at the table and said, "The landlord said that the dishes here need to add extra money." I saw that the chickens in the yard were good, and the vegetables and fish were fresh. The kitchen is full of basic seasonings, but fortunately, the ingredients are fresh enough and should be delicious no matter how they are cooked. Xu Bai, Lu Kun, Ding Lie, Yue Ping, you all have a taste. ”
Li Chunxiang looked like she had been reborn, not only did she not indulge in the emotional wounds given by Lu Yueping, but her face was also filled with the most simple and natural smile. It's just that her acting skills are still full of flaws in front of Ding Lie, the actor.
Ding Lie served Li Chunxiang a bowl of soup, he put the soup bowl in front of Li Chunxiang, and said with a pun: "In the next few days, we may live together for a long time, and it will be very hard for you to always be like this."
Li Chunxiang's face changed, and she understood the additional words in Ding Lie's eyes, but in order for everyone to get along naturally, she grinned and pretended not to understand: "It's just to cook a few meals, and I'm not tired, and besides, our older generation people say that pregnant women have to be more active, so that they don't have to work hard when giving birth."
Xu Bai felt uncomfortable in her heart, she tried her best to get Li Chunxiang to clear up her misunderstanding, and deliberately flattered Li Chunxiang and said, "I can also cook, and we will cook together in the future."
Li Chunxiang looked at Xu Bai, her face stiffened, and then she said with a pleasant face: "Okay."
Although there is only one such simple and unfamiliar word, throwing it makes Xu Bai's heart feel a lot better.
She was quite noodle-filled, and praised Li Chunxiang for her delicious cooking.
"It tastes good." Lu Kun looked at Lu Yueping, who was very uncomfortable, and said: "The surname is Lu, your daughter-in-law is indeed capable, better than my stupid girl."
After that, Lu Kun also doted on Xu Bai's head in front of everyone, and the kind of love that was so hot that it burned people couldn't be stopped.
"I'm not hungry, you eat." The burly Lu Yueping stood up suddenly, he looked at Chunxiang guiltily, but he felt that Ding Lie was right, since he couldn't use one heart for two purposes, there should be a decision.
Lu Yue calmly didn't pick Li Chunxiang's dishes with his chopsticks, and walked outside alone to smoke.
Ding Lie smiled: "Ignore him, we will eat ours." I don't believe he starves every other time. ”
Li Chunxiang didn't participate in this topic, lowered her head and drank the soup that Ding Lie scooped for her, and when she looked up, she realized that her rice bowl was already full of vegetables.
She understands that at this dinner table, the only person who will serve food for herself is Ding Lie.
She glanced sideways at him, her eyes full of gratitude, because he was there, so she felt that she didn't seem so redundant.
After Ding Lie and Li Chunxiang's eyes collided, Ding Lie said lightly: "Eat more, you have another one in your belly."
In the time that followed, several people finished the meal in silence.
After Lu Kun put down his rice bowl, he tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and suddenly asked, "Is it time to tell us why you brought us to this island?"
Ding Lie also put down his chopsticks when he was full, looked at a window and said, "Our business is too risky, so we only do business with acquaintances, or business introduced by acquaintances." In other words, all customers are introduced through acquaintances. After completing a few transactions with the ghost, the connector of the small order may introduce the person with the big order to come and trade with the ghost, and the large order will introduce the larger order, and so on, this structure has not been destroyed for many years. So this time, we are looking for the connector who purchased a five-piece cultural relic recorded in my notebook. And he, right on this island. Only by finding him can we know the whereabouts of the five artifacts and lead from him to the boss behind the next connector. ”
Xu Bai blurted out: "Is it in the northwest corner?"
"What?" Ding Lie was stunned.
Lu Kun could see from Ding Lie's reaction that although Ding Lie took them to the island, he didn't seem to be sure where the connector of the five cultural relics was on the island.
Lu Kun narrowed his eyes: "Don't you have the contact information of the connector in your book?"
Ding Lie said: "Many of the numbers on the book are already empty, including this one. So I'm curious about how Xu Bai came up with this conclusion in the northwest corner? Listen to your dad? Or what? ”
Xu Bai said lightly: "It was the landlord who warned us not to go to the northwest corner of the island when he just changed the light bulb for us. So I think there may be some people living in the northwest corner, or a force that is not compatible with the fishermen on the island. ”
Ding Lie looked at Lu Kun, and Lu Kun nodded knowingly and said, "In the evening, a few of our men went to the northwest corner in the dark to have a look." But for the safety of the women, we must not startle us with anything we see, and return here immediately. ”
