【127】A smile by the pond
The seventh master took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Yes, for decades, the good years have gone by like this." Fortunately, God has eyes, but the year of the sixtieth year can see the dawn, this is the road to the sky......"
Yan Fang said: "I can't stay here for too long, it's always not good to be seen." Senior brother, do you have anything else to explain? ”
The seventh master said: "Mr. Hu of Jintian Real Estate, is there a place where he often goes in and out?" ”
Yan Fang thought about it and told the Seventh Master that this Mr. Hu Kaiwen Hu had been anxious recently, scurrying around like a headless fly, and his whereabouts were difficult to grasp. But this guy pays attention to health, every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, as long as there is nothing big and big, he will inevitably stay in the health center on Jinhu Road for an hour. Or soak your feet, or get a massage, or take a medicated bath...... When the seventh master heard this, he nodded and said, "Health Hall?" It's a good place for me to do things, and I'll go and see it in the afternoon. ”
After a slight pause, he looked at Mr. Liu, who was sitting precariously on the side, and said, "Zhan Wen, you have a criminal record on your body, so let's stop and find a place to settle down first." Those of yours follow, let them leave Province A first, our line of work is based on brains, and with so many muscles around you, not only will it not work, but it will also be bad. ”
Liu Zhanwen nodded and said, "What the Seventh Master said is that I will send them away later." ”
The seventh master nodded and said, "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, let's go now." ”
Liu Zhan seemed to be a little unwilling when he heard this, and said, "Seventh Master, what happened in the Forest Park ......"
The seventh master said: "Let it go first, this matter is not in a hurry, the monk can't run the temple, just determine the location." ”
Liu Zhan heard that the seventh master was not in a hurry, and he was helpless in his heart, so he had to nod yes, and after calling the waiter to settle the tea money, he turned around and left.
Yan Fang looked at Liu Zhanwen's departing back, and said disdainfully: "Senior brother, this kind of person who has more than enough success and more failures is also a loss because you are in the mood to take it with you......"
The seventh master sighed and said, "Yan Fang, we are all old, some dirty work has to be done by someone, right?" ”
Yan Fang sneered: "We are old, but we are not alone, your two apprentices, as well as the little Feng'er I taught, are the right time to use them." I can't understand why you don't use them all the time. Senior brother, you won't not understand the truth that jade can't be cut into a weapon, right? ”
It was not the first time that the Seventh Master had heard Yan Fang complain about this matter, he frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Fang shook his head and said, "Come on, there is still something waiting for me in the community, a handyman, and I ...... gone."
He got up and wanted to leave, paused, and said, "The matter over there in the forest park is really not in a hurry to deal with?" Do you want me to take a trip at night and take things out? Lt the night be long and the dreams be ......"
The Seventh Master shook his head and said, "There's no need to rush for a while...... In his suicide note, the master repeatedly warned that the thing that his old man had hidden in Courtyard No. 36 was only a part of it, and now that he took it out, it was just a chicken rib. It's better to be still, so let it stay there, lest it startle the snake and ruin the whole plan. ”
Yan Fang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
After speaking, he bent his waist and left the tea house.
After Yan Fang left, the seventh master sat for a while and made two phone calls, before getting up and leaving slowly.
……
"Boss, I went to Wanling University and consulted several history professors, and they all said that they had never seen similar ancient characters."
In the backyard of Courtyard No. 36, near the edge of the pond, there is a small round table and two chairs.
Su Yu sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea, and said, "Later, I went to the Institute of Archaeology, but I didn't gain anything either." However, when he was leaving, he met a retired old expert, who looked at this ancient script and said that it might be some kind of tribal script from 5,000 years ago. ”
Tribal scripts?
Mo Yan groaned, feeling that this statement was somewhat possible. China's thousands of years of history, since the Yan and the Yellow Emperor, most of them have been recorded, only the tribal culture in ancient times was annihilated. Time is the best ablative agent, no matter how glorious a civilization is, it can't resist the erosion and wear of time...... There is no trace of any resemblance to the characters on the tablets in the existing historical records, and it can only be attributed to a tribal culture, or to an earlier civilization.
"Boss, if you need it, I can go to Kyoto......" Su Yu said: "In terms of cultural heritage, Kyoto must be the most abundant, maybe you can find an expert who can interpret this kind of writing." ”
Mo Yan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm just on a whim, there's no need to run around." ”
In terms of cultural heritage, Wanling is a thousand-year-old city, with outstanding people and heroes, which may not be much worse than Kyoto.
Seeing Mo Yan shaking his head, Su Yu did not continue to ask for help, but pulled out a grass, squatted down, and teased the fish in the pond...... These fish were bought from cabbage and stocked three times, almost 100 fish.
Because there are no natural predators, the pond is rich in plankton, aquatic plants, and mud snails, and these fish are considered to have come to heaven. They swim back and forth in the water, occasionally surfacing, spitting a few bubbles at Su Yu, and they are not afraid of people at all...... "No wonder cabbage always likes to run here, boss, this yard is really a good place!" ”
Su Yu sighed and said: "The villas around here have a very good environment, but only the early villas have this kind of garden-style backyard, tsk, this is a real independent villa." There are ponds, mountain springs, and wooden pavilions...... Compared to those European-style villas, this is a good place to live. ”
The two chatted with each other, and after a while, Su Yu suddenly became interested and wanted to fish in the pond.
Mo Yan said that there was no fishing rod, so Su Yu smiled and said that the fishing tackle store next to the management office sold it, and it was delivered to the door immediately after making a phone call.
There are mountains and rivers in Baohe Forest Park, so naturally there is no shortage of anglers, and it is not surprising that there are shops specializing in fishing gear. Of course, the people who can fish here are not ordinary people, if you want to sit down and fish by the Bao River that passes through the mountains, first of all, you have to spend tens of thousands of yuan to apply for a membership card, and secondly, a better equipment and fishing tackle, without tens of thousands of yuan can not be taken. If you take a green bamboo to fish here, no one will think that you are a hermit in the city, but will laugh at you for being shabby and tasteless.
All in all, the people who can 'steal half a day' in the forest park are all noble and rich.
After Su Yu made the call, someone rang the doorbell within ten minutes.
"The rod I bought has arrived ......"
Su Yu jumped up and ran to open the door.
A few minutes later, she brought back not only a fishing rod, but also Assistant Xu and Mei Qingqian.
Mo Yan stood up and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Mei here?" ”
Mei Qingqian sat in a wheelchair, wearing thick clothes, with blankets on her legs, and most of her face was covered by a thin scarf, leaving only a pair of clear big eyes exposed...... Assistant Xu explained with a smile: "Miss Mei was a little depressed in the house, so I asked her to push her out for a walk, but she turned around and turned around and turned around and turned around here. Miss Mei said that she hadn't thanked you face-to-face for the last time, so ......"
Mo Yan smiled: "There's no need to be so polite...... Come on, come over here, it's a little less windy here. ”
Mei Qingqian said softly: "Mr. Mo, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
Mo Yan took the wheelchair from Assistant Xu's hand, pushed her to the edge of the pond, and said, "It's windy here, and there are fish to watch...... By the way, what do you drink? How about a hot cup of tea? ”
Mei Qingqian nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
Su Yu put down the bag containing the fishing rod in his hand and was about to make tea, Mo Yan said: "I'll make tea, you accompany Miss Mei to fish." ”
By the time he had brewed the tea and brought it over, Su Yu had already assembled the fishing rod and was putting bait into the pond.
Although Mei Qingqian's background is good, she suffered from a strange disease at the age of eight, and since then, her ugly appearance and weak body have made her almost never leave the house...... She opened her eyes wide and looked curiously at Su Yu clumsily busy there, her eyes full of envy.
Su Yu is such a clever person, he knew what the girl was thinking of at a glance out of the corner of his eye, so he stuffed the fishing rod into Mei Qingqian's hand, and said with a smile: "Qingqian, you can try it......"
She has met Mei Qingqian more times than Mo Yan, and she can easily become friends with Mei Qingqian by her means, so she is much more casual and affectionate to Mei Qingqian.
Mei Qingqian was stunned for a moment, and said a little crampedly: "I...... I've never fished. ”
Mo Yan came over with tea and said with a smile, "Doesn't Miss Mei know how to fish?" It's just like me......"
Mei Qingqian said curiously: "You don't know how to fish?" ”
Mo Yan nodded, and said, "But I'll eat ......"
Mei Qingqian burst out laughing, probably thinking that her smile was ugly, and immediately lowered her head, not wanting Mo Yan to see it...... Mo Yan could understand the girl's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Actually, you look good when you laugh." ”
Mei Qingqian was stunned, looking at Mo Yan, there was a slight annoyance in her eyes.
In her opinion, Mo Yan's words were obviously comforting herself, and it was a very insincere comfort...... At the age of eight, she needed such comfort, but now, such casual comfort can only make her more inferior and sensitive.
Mo Yan smiled: "You must think I'm comforting you, right?" ”
Mei Qingqian turned her head and did not speak.
"You wait......"
Mo Yan suddenly pulled out a piece of paper and pencil as if he were juggling, and then quickly sketched the ...... Two minutes later, he handed the paper to Mei Qingqian and said with a smile: "When I cure your illness, you will laugh like this." ”
Mei Qingqian took it, looked down at it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
On the white paper in her hand, a delicate girl was smiling slightly, with thin shoulders, long black hair, and a pair of bright eyes...... The girl's face may not be very beautiful, but her smile is so pure, blooming slightly, it can easily touch people's heartstrings...... After a long time, she raised her head and asked softly, "You didn't lie to me?" ”
