Chapter 9: The Secret Council

After Sister He explained the matter of giving tea dumplings, she put forward an additional "condition" to me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss Huo!" He Zhibai said calmly on the phone: "When you come, can you be alone?" There are some things, I want to explain to you in particular, by the way, I will talk to you about avoiding the disaster." ”

He Zhibai's words made me suspicious.

What is strange to me is that I obviously have no personal relationship with Sister He, why didn't she call Zhao Haipeng this time, nor did she call Zhao Shuihe, who wanted to eat tea, but called me alone to talk about things?

And what can she talk to me about?

Surprised and inexplicable, I stood in my shop, looking at the water lotus lazily napping in the sun, and then at the doorway leading to the basement kitchen.

Then, I made up my mind in a certain way, so I whispered to He Zhibai on the other side of the phone: "Where shall we meet at noon? I will go by myself." ”

"Ten meridians, Wild Dog Cafe, you know?"

I happen to be clear about the wild dog café He Zhibai mentioned, and it is a ten-minute drive from Shijing Road to Heihu Street in Lihou District, where we are located.

I hadn't been to that café, and the only image I had of was remembering that there were a lot of stray dogs begging for food outside the café, and a dense and green creeper in front of the café.

Knowing the meeting place, we further agreed on the exact time, and then put down the phone, and after the peak of the noon meal had passed, I casually found an excuse, left Luweiju, and went to Shijing Road to find the wild dog café.

When I arrived at the café, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, there were almost no customers in the coffee shop, so as soon as I entered the door, I immediately saw He Zhibai sitting in the corner of the window, drinking tea quietly.

Seeing the acquaintances, we looked at each other and smiled, and then Sister He stood up generously, helped me pull out the solid wood bench, and asked me what to drink.

I'm not a sentimental person, and naturally I don't understand the doorways of those coffee shops, so I just ordered a cup of unsweetened black tea, and then went straight to the point, asking Sister He why she was looking for me alone.

He Zhibai was asked by me, her eyes became a little deep, she didn't answer me directly, but asked me first: "Boss Huo, how do you feel about Zhao Haipeng?"

"My eldest brother!" I replied without hesitation: "Stick a knife in my brother's ribs, talk about rules, understand faith, and am a well-known abbot in our five visceral temples, follow him, I can live until now." ”

"Don't just say nice things!" He Zhibai shook his head and said to me, "...... But do you still feel that Zhao Haipeng's brain is a bit dead, he can't keep up with the times, and he always likes to take you to the ditch?"

He Zhibai's words made me fall into silence and embarrassment.

She's right.

Since Zhao Haipeng took me to "hide from the yin disaster" and fight the cat demon, the three of us have been completely tied to a chariot, which can be said to be inseparable, his life is my life, and vice versa.

In this process, Lao Zhao showed great ability, and at the same time participated in many things, through this period of contact, I have long found that his way of thinking is "solidified", almost not a little flexible. It is completely the appearance of an abbot and a veteran of the Five Organs Temple, which is very unsuitable for this deceitful society.

In this way, I am really worried about Zhao Haipeng's future fate.

And He Zhibai's words completely pierced the knot in my heart for many days, and also resonated with me.

I understand that the person who can say such things bluntly, except for the humerus, can only be the best friend who really cares about Zhao Haipeng's life and death.

Therefore, I couldn't wait to say to He Zhibai: "What does the eldest sister mean by this? You might as well tell me directly!"

"It's easy to say!" He Zhibai nodded and said: "Back then, Yin Wujia sent Zhao Haipeng into the army to experience, which not only protected him, but also harmed him, and the army turned him into a high-quality person, but it also made him a little out of touch with this era. That's why he's a little out of place with us......"

Speaking of this, He Zhibai took a sip of faint black tea, and continued: "But Boss Huo, you are different, you have been working hard in this city for a long time, you know a lot, you know when to make what choices, when to advance and retreat, at this point, you are better than Zhao Haipeng." ”

"Sister Bai is overrated!" I said humbly from the bottom of my heart.

"Don't be modest, I've talked to you to this point, I think Boss Huo should also understand what I mean, right?" He Zhibai smiled.

I nodded and replied firmly: "Understand, Sister Bai wants me and Zhao Haipeng to complement each other, take better care of each other, and get through the current calamity together?"

He nodded, and at the same time added: "In this society, it is really difficult to do anything, especially for someone like Haipeng, I can't rest assured, so no matter what, please ask Brother Huo to take care of Zhao Haipeng, what he can't 'workaround', he can only rely on you." ”

He Zhibai's words revealed her concern for Zhao Haipeng, and this concern was very unusual, obviously infused with some kind of feelings that I didn't know at all, not so much that her words were an explanation to me, but rather an exhortation or even "entrusting orphans".

This kind of trust is very rare.

In the face of the rare trust in modern society, my eyes moistened a little, so I nodded without hesitation.

I involuntarily held Sister He's hand and said: "Sister, don't worry! Zhao Haipeng is my eldest brother, I, as a brother, will do everything for him, and we are all from the Five Organs Temple, what should a boss from the Five Organs Temple do, I understand!"

After listening to my words, He Zhibai smiled knowingly, and then changed the topic and said: "I put the dim sum and steamed dumplings handed over to Shui He at the café owner's place, just pick them up when you leave, and I have one more thing to tell you today......

As he spoke, He Zhibai suddenly pointed out the window of the café and said, "I have an old friend, I want to match it for you." ”

I didn't quite understand what He Zhibai said, but we had long eyes and could see by ourselves, and after following the direction she indicated, I saw a white economy car parked in front of the café.

A woman in a pink jacket and sunglasses walked out.

Even though the woman was wearing sunglasses, the first time I saw her, I recognized the person.

Not only did I recognize it, but I was so shocked that I almost squirted out the black tea in my mouth!

Stunned, I quickly shook my head and asked He Zhibai, "Isn't it the eldest sister!

He Zhibai raised his head and glanced at the café's watch pointing to three o'clock before he said to me, "...... It's punctual, don't panic, she's here to apologize to you. (To be continued.) )
