Chapter 258: Chicken Cutting Knife (3)
"Do you need to get out of the car to buy medicine?" the driver asked earnestly as the car turned onto Sangyuan Road. Bayi Chinese Network ?(一)?.
On both sides of the street, the only shops that are open 24 hours a day are a few small shops selling mom-and-pop products.
When he asked, Lian Chengbi immediately blushed and bowed his head.
I looked over from the back row, and the light of the dawn street lamp was projected on Lianchengbi's face, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and crimson cheeks, and a real beauty with culture and courtesy.
The modernist girls in Jinan City are naturally bold, and they put all kinds of "organ language" on their lips when they have nothing to do, "I lean" when they enter the door, and "I wipe" when they go out, and they don't know what "shy and blushing" is all about since they were children.
That kind of girl is just the scum of the scum compared to Lianchengbi.
Because of this, I cherish Lianchengbi more and love her reputation in life even more.
"There's no need. I replied.
The driver smiled wryly: "Big brother, I can be regarded as a favor for you tonight, and I have pulled an extra beauty for you." She's drunk like this, if you just do something, she'll probably just go with the flow—"
I handed over a hundred-dollar bill and immediately shut his mouth.
The car stopped at the gate of the General Garden Community, 100 meters east of Jigang Middle School, and I helped the girl get out of the car, and even Chengbi hurried over to help.
The driver honked his horn, reversed, and ran to the road.
"The safe house is in Building 2, room 208 on the second floor. Lian Chengbi said.
Along the way, I already had an idea in my mind. Safe houses are not safe, and this girl's home is here, God help me.
I straightened the girl, shook her shoulders vigorously, and called into her ear, "What is the building?
"II...... Building 2, 801, 801......" The girl was awake for a while and reported the room number.
"You still don't think the safe house is safe?" asked Lian Chengbi.
I looked around, and in the pre-dawn darkness, even the street lights on both sides of the street were extinguished. Looking around, there were no lights, people and cars, only bursts of white fog rising from the big chimney of the Qilu Pharmaceutical Factory in the easternmost part.
"Maybe I'm overthinking, but this girl is a good shield. I said.
Lian Chengbi nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
I simply carried the girl into the community and took the elevator from Building 2 to the eighth floor. Luckily, the girl's drunken words were also reliable, and I found the key in her satchel and successfully opened the security door of 801.
As soon as I entered, I carried her to the bedroom, put her on the bed, dragged a blanket to cover her, and then went out and closed the door.
Lian Chengbi washed his hands in the bathroom, but I didn't dare to slack off, first using the top door of Changsha, and then searching room by room.
It's a two-bedroom unit, and when the bedroom closes, there's a living room, a study, a washroom, a kitchen, and a small front balcony.
Judging from the single photo posted on the kitchen refrigerator, this girl lives here alone and has no fixed boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, there was an entire wall of bookshelves in the study, and the shelves were full of books.
This is extremely incommensurate with her identity as a street girl, in the minds of most people, street girls are no knowledge, no culture, no intelligence, no emotional intelligence, and no means of making a living, so they can only choose to sell meat for a living.
There is a Changsha on the opposite side of the bookshelf, and on the small coffee table by the sand, there is a book with a white bookmark.
I walked over and took out the book, and the title of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was prominently printed on the cover.
This is a world-class masterpiece, but its meaning is very obscure, and the storyline and characters are quite metaphorical, just like "Dream of the Red Chamber" of the four classical Chinese classics. Even professional writers have a headache with "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and when reading it, it is like reading a Zen masterpiece, and every short paragraph you read, you will cover the volume and ponder and experience the deep meaning in it.
The ancients once said that in China, the few do not read the Red Mansion, and the old do not read the Three Kingdoms.
Modern Chinese and foreign literary researchers also say that young people should not read "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and old people should not read "The Old Man and the Sea".
The reasons for the two statements are much the same.
Lian Chengbi stood at the door and knocked lightly: "Tianshi, I'll go to the living room to sleep in Changsha, what about you?"
After washing her face, she is like a hibiscus out of water, her eyebrows are natural, and her facial features are not carved, the more pure and moving.
I nodded: "Okay, you sleep, I'll read a little book here." ”
Lian Chengbi smiled: "Okay, anyway, there is sand here, you can take a nap too." ”
I heard her go to the drawing-room, and soon after lying down, she fell into a deep sleep.
"What a good girl - it's a pity that under the command of King Qin, I have to let go of my innocent dreams, dance with guns and sticks, and kill for King Qin. When will such a life be the end?" I cried out in my heart for Lianchengbi.
People can't choose their parents, sometimes they take the wrong step, and they can't choose their own life.
I leaned on Changsha, picked up the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude", turned a few pages, let go of my hand, the book fell to my chest, and I fell asleep with my eyes closed.
In my dream, I saw the dragon demon in the dark ravine.
The dragon demon circled around the mirror room, and the entire mirror room was covered with a layer of black and oppressive demon atmosphere.
Tang Wan is still in the mirror room, that is the only thing I care about.
Somehow, I single-handedly crossed the ravine and confronted the dragon demon.
"That's the person you're closest to, and one day, when the truth is revealed, you'll have a hard time making a choice......," a voice came from the sky.
I roared at the place where the voice came from: "I have no relatives in this world, and I live to avenge my brother-"
The knife is in the hand, the blood is stirring in the chest, and the anger has risen to the crown, what I want to do next is to fight with the blade, and the blood sacrifice to the eldest brother Xia Cheng.
The dragon demon is hidden in the boundless black curtain, not seeing its shape, only hearing its voice.
I know that the survival of mankind is a battle for life.
"Go back, stop all impulses, go back to the beginning, carefree, ignorant and ignorant. The skillful work and the wise worry, and the incompetent ask for nothing, and they are full of food and travel all day long, just like an untied boat...... The only correct way in the world is for you to turn around and go back to zero...... "The sound was like thunder beyond the rain curtain, roaring above my head.
Along the way, I've forgotten where my zero point is. Maybe it was the night my grandfather died, maybe it was the night of the Daming Lake Iron Shrine where my eldest brother was killed, maybe it was the three years old I just remembered, or maybe it was the moment I fell to the ground.
Didn't that voice force me to forget all hatred and abandon everything I had learned?
"I can't go back!" I roared into the clouds.
"If you can't go back, you will die, you don't know at all, what stands in front of you is a sea of swords and fire—if you move forward, you will only fall into hell and die without life!" the voice lamented.
Of course, I know how hard it is to take every step forward in the world of thaumaturgists. The more you reach the realm of wisdom, the more difficult it is to move forward under many obstacles.
Giving up is an easy thing to do, go with the flow, and go with the flow. However, I didn't have the right to give it up at all, because I had so many responsibilities on my shoulders to this day.
"Let's fight, let's fight! My sword is hungry and thirsty!" I pointed to the sky.
Life is short, and if I can't light up the sky in a glimpse like a meteor, then I will walk the path of my life in the long dark night.
Short and shining, long and nameless—I'm going to choose the former. For this reason, he risked his life, this life, his blood spirit, and the prestige of the Xia clan, the righteous path of the vicissitudes of life, and the righteous glory of thaumaturgists.
A cool hand suddenly covered my forehead, and I woke up suddenly, and I staggered to my feet.
The girl was standing in front of the sand, bending down and caressing my forehead.
"You have a fever, I'll go get medicine for you. She said.
I shook my head, "No, what time is it? ”
The girl pointed to the quartz clock on the left side of the bookcase: "At ten o'clock in the morning, take a few cold medicines, it won't delay your big event." ”
She opened the bottom drawer of the bookcase, found two plates of green cold clear capsules, placed them on the coffee table, and went out to pour water.
The dream dissipated, but I felt tightened in my chest and couldn't breathe. Moreover, his forehead and temples were swollen, as if he had been strangled by a tightening spell.
The girl poured water and handed me the cup and cold medicine.
She had just finished taking a shower, and her head was wet and glowing with a faint water.
I took the medicine and drank the water, and then sincerely thanked him.
The girl shook her head: "No thanks, we can help each other." You carry me back, I take care of you and take medicine, and it's smooth. ”
I looked at the room full of books and opened my mouth to ask, but the girl immediately shook her head: "Don't ask anything, everyone will meet in Pingshui, and they will be separated in a few hours, and we will not see each other again in this life." Don't ask the best, the wanderer has no intention, naturally there is no worry, and there is no trouble. ”
She picked up the book that had fallen in front of the sand, blew it carefully, and put it back on the bookcase.
"We'll be gone in a moment. I said.
There was a clanging sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and I was a little strange, and when I went out of the study to see, it turned out to be Lianchengbi cooking.
"About half an hour to eat, borscht, omelette, shredded mustard, slices of bread with cereal. Lian Chengbi said with a smile.
She looked back and saw the blood on my sleeve and frowned.
The girl was standing right behind me, looked in, and pulled me to the bathroom.
I was at the mercy of the two of them, and I couldn't help myself, so I could only obediently follow me to the bathroom.
The girl wiped the blood with a brush dipped in water, and then dripped a few drops of lemon juice on her cuffs.
"Wait, two minutes later, the citric acid will dilute all the blood. She said.
I respected her and didn't ask any personal questions, just waited quietly.
"You wait, I'll play the music. She left the bathroom, and soon Eason Chan's powerful and moving singing voice sounded in the room.
She ran back, dipped her wet towel in water, and wiped it down my sleeve repeatedly.
"That's pretty much it, it's not expensive, I'll change it when I get home. I said.
"Will you ever be able to go home?" she asked.
With just this sentence, she showed her feet. If you don't know anything about me, how do you know that I can't go back to the old house on Qushuiting Street?
"We didn't meet in the water, but you did it on purpose?" I asked lightly.
The girl was stunned and replied in a low voice: "I have no ill intentions, if you don't ask, everyone can finish this meal quietly." ”
I nodded, no more.
If everything is arranged by one side of the forces with other intentions, then all my impromptu responses, which seem to be correct, have actually fallen into the trap laid by the other side.
The sleeves were cleaned, and I returned to the living room, where Lian Chengbi was already setting the dishes and chopsticks.
"On the surface, I love Shaanxi, but that's just to cater to my dad and make him happy. Actually, I only like to eat Western food, and my best products are steak and borscht. Lian Chengbi smiled, and the butterflies circled around the rectangular dining table, and in the blink of an eye, three pairs of dishes and chopsticks were arranged.
"Sorry, but if you two come back next time, I'll buy a steak frying pan and steak. The girl said as she stood in the kitchen doorway.
I don't want to be angry, and I don't have any reason to be angry, I just smiled lightly and listened to the two girls chatting with each other.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to buy the steak, I'll bring it from the city. Snowflake beef, black pepper sauce, Spanish black truffle and tuna caviar, it's delicious just to think about......" Lian Chengbi said as he went to the kitchen to serve the soup.
I was thinking about the questions I needed to ask after meeting Yue Buqun, but I was actually worried about the situation in the tunnel under the church.
The sky is already bright, and the workers will definitely appear the "human skins" of Zhang Yun, Sun Huazi, and the surnamed Wan after they go to work. They will definitely not call the police, and will only close the tunnel under the instructions of Lu Fengxian and others, and put it on hold for the time being.
The most difficult thing now is that we can't get rid of Zhao Tianzi's pursuit, no matter where he goes, his people have a way to emerge from all corners and desperately entangle.
"The next time we meet, don't push me to kill. "This is the only request I have for Zhao Wanghui's subordinates.
When there is no extreme event, I can control my emotions and be cautious and not ask for my life. However, I cannot guarantee that everything will be calm when the time comes to the hostile battle.
Sun Huazi and Zhang Yunzi trampled on that girl, so when they became "human skin", I was neither frightened nor sorry, but I felt very happy, and I was happier than I made my own move.
If someone touches Lianchengbi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my killing intentions.
Soup, omelette, and bread were served, and the three of us sat down in three directions.
"The atmosphere is weird, three are missing one?" the girl laughed.
"Yes, three are missing one, but I know that you beggars are not short of people at all. No matter which city or street you stand on, as long as you give a call for a call, you can gather thousands of people in an instant—" Lian Chengbi smiled.
Immediately, the girl's smile condensed on her face, and she pressed her hands to the table, grabbing a chopstick and a spoonful in each of her fingertips.
"You're the number one gang in the world, right?" asked Lian Chengbi.
Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the beggar gang is the first big gang in the Central Plains, the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China.
As an old Jinan, I have always known about the existence of beggar gangs, but I have never come into contact with them.
"The beggars help Jinan divide the rudder and the three masters of the red sleeves, is that you?" Lian Chengbi asked again.
"You check my roots?" the girl asked coldly.
When she says this, she is tantamount to admitting that she is a red sleeve move.
Lian Chengbi nodded: "Yes, I have a hacker friend who happens to have some connections with the beggar gang." Therefore, the top 150 people in your gang have data secrets in their computers. After the battle of Hongjialou, I could see that you were a member of the beggar gang, but I couldn't tell which master you were, so I called my friend. It's not strange to call your name, now in Jinan City, as long as it is registered in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid you can't hide away from it alone - drink the soup, there is no poison and myrrh in the soup, it's clean, and it tastes better than the borscht in the Western restaurant......"
Lianchengbi broke the girl's identity without shock, but it was only to the point, and nothing else was involved.
I bowed my head and drank the soup and did not participate in the opinion.
"From yesterday to noon today, I beg you not to tell you anything. Otherwise, either I will die or you will die. The girl whispered.
"Drink soup and drink soup, no one will die, the beggar gang and the king of Qin will not interfere with the river water, you can rest assured. You see, now that everyone can drink soup at the same table, what else is there to talk about?" Lian Chengbi responded indifferently.
The three of us drank the soup in silence, then fried eggs with bread and shredded mustard to accompany the meal.
At first, the girl was full of murderous intentions.
I saw the projection of her eyes on the noodles in the soup bowl, and I was worried that when she scooped up the next spoonful of soup, she would not put it in her mouth, but stabbed the soup with a spoon into Lianchengbi's throat.
If that's the case, I'll have to destroy her and save the city.
Fortunately, until a large pot of soup was over, and a plate full of fried eggs and a bag of sliced bread was eaten, the girl's spoon was still in her hand.
"When you're done, you're gone. The girl said.
"Yes, that's right. Lian Chengbi nodded.
"We've never met, have we?" asked the girl.
Lian Chengbi nodded again: "Yes." ”
"Let's talk individually. "The girl asked me out.
I remained silent, followed her up, walked into the study, and then closed the door with my hand.
The girl took a deep breath and pointed to the bookcase: "There are at least twenty books in here that are hollow, and there are guns, daggers, poisons, and hidden weapons hidden in them. I don't know the strength of the two of you, but I believe that if you go to war, you will be able to keep one of you. The beggars are in decline, and they are laughed at by friends on the rivers and lakes all the year round, but they are just tigers. When it comes to the critical moment, the number one gang in the world will never fall. ”
I didn't doubt her words and nodded slightly.
"I am a red-sleeved move, a seventy-second generation disciple of the bloodline of the beggar gang on the genealogy of the main incense lord. In my generation, there is a 'sleeve' in the name. The world is harmonious, the Central Plains is prosperous, and there is no need for gangs to exist. Therefore, the masters of the beggar gang are all scattered into the people, and they have changed their faces, and everyone has a dual identity. Don't laugh at me last night Meng Lang, people are in the rivers and lakes, just acting on the spot. She said.
"I understand, I don't have to explain. Even Miss said that when we go out in a while, we will erase the memory of the twenty-four hours, and we will not remember you at all. I replied.
Redsleeves shook his head coldly: "Memories can't be erased, I only hope that before you make a big move under the church, you can notify us first, so that the beggar brothers can evacuate in advance." ”
I also have a headache about what is going on in the tunnel, and when this thing is fermented, in fact, everyone feels the same.
"I ...... Well, we try to ...... Ensure the safety of the people and do not cause trouble to your gang. "That's all I can say.
The more you talk about it, the more you know about the Red Sleeve Move, the more trouble it will be.
I won't say much, it's all for her good.
"Mr. Xia, I only know a little bit about your information, but there is an old Jinan landdoer in my gang who has done a lot of research on the history of the Xia family, and the draft of the record alone is as thick as two feet. If you need it, I can communicate on your behalf and let the two of you meet. How?" said Redsleeves.
It's a good thing I can't ask for, but I don't have a chance to do it right now. If you don't uncover the secrets of the tunnel stone chamber, there will be many people in the Qin King Society.
"Thank you, thank you enough, but now I have to go. I said.
"The rivers and lakes are dangerous, how about I give you a weapon?" Red Sleeves gestured to the bookcase.
I shook my head without hesitation: "You can't take it without merit, Miss Hong, goodbye." ”
With my current sword skills, even if I don't use a quick blade, I can still defeat the enemy. Therefore, I don't need to owe the other party a favor for a cold weapon that can be used or not.
Red Sleeves beckoned me out, and Lian Chengbi was already standing at the door, and his shoes were on.
"Let's go?" said Lian Chengbi.
We didn't greet Redsleeves too much, just said goodbye and went out front and back.
While waiting for the elevator, I told Lianchengbi what the red sleeves had said.
"The beggars are hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff. What they do is often unexpected, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes cannot guess. In my opinion, the Red Sleeves have a purpose in reaching out to you. All the things she did last night were all to get your attention. Lian Chengbi said sharply.
After Red Sleeves revealed her true colors, I felt that she was not so annoying anymore.
At the very least, she's fighting for some kind of belief, and definitely not just for money.
"Mudicate the waters—that's what King Qin is all about. The beggars appeared, just in time to achieve this. I replied.
The deaths of Zhang Yun and Sun Huazi will cause a sensation in the ruffian circles of old Jinan, and this will also help muddy the water in the bay of Jinan City.
Before the elevator came, Lianchengbi changed color: "It's really not good, let's go down the stairs." The safe houses are really not safe, I checked by code phone, and at least three safe houses in the city center were destroyed last night. At present, the police have suppressed the news and have not released it to the public. Lian Chengbi said.
The elevator never came, so we went downstairs by the walking elevator, and when we reached the second floor, there was a large group of policemen in front of room 208.
It appears that not only was the safe house smashed but there were also casualties, which eventually alarmed the police.
