"I didn't expect you to congratulate me." Zheng Xiaofeng's tone was not so good, "I didn't die, I thought you would be disappointed." ”

Wang Lifa smiled, but his face did not show the slightest embarrassment, he took a puff of cigarette, and said very indifferently: "I am here to apologize to you." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng was very surprised and asked, "Apologize?" Why? For the sake of your character? Wang Lifa shrugged his shoulders: "Sort of." ”

The girl sat down on the bench on the side of the boat, and she didn't seem to care about the conversation between the two men.

"Little brother, to be honest, I appreciate your ability, I never thought that someone could leave alive under such circumstances before, which is enough to show that your mind, skills and character are top-notch." Wang Lifa said, "So I came, first, to apologize to you, and secondly, to make friends with you, and this time it is sincere." ”

Before the words fell, Zheng Xiaofeng let out a "snort" and smiled coldly: "Boss Wang, do you have any misunderstanding of the word friend?" You hurt me, and you still want to be friends with me? ”

Wang Lifa spread his hands and said puzzledly: "I only hurt you once." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng listened to this, and suddenly gave birth to countless mothers selling batches in his heart, he forced the dirty words in his heart to hold back, and then said the words on his lips: "Only once? What do you mean only once? Isn't one time enough? ”

Wang Lifa looked like a matter of course and said with a smile: "Of course, if you have been on this road for a long time, you will understand that no two people can never be friends with each other, including you and me, of course." ”

"But I'm not on this path, not now, and not in the future." Zheng Xiaofeng immediately said categorically, "I, Zheng Xiaofeng, will starve to death and die outside, and if I jump from here, I will not become friends with you." ”

Wang Lifa suddenly grinned, and it seemed that he was laughing at Zheng Xiaofeng.

"Little brother, I'm doing it for your own good, you must know that Zhu Da is not a generous person, and he won't just forget today's matter. I don't know where you come from, but no matter what your background is, once you are targeted by the Qingyun Society, you are destined to have no good fruit to eat. But if we become friends, then the situation will be completely different, with your ability, it is definitely not difficult to make a name for yourself in the treasure stealing world, if you help me do things, I will provide you with protection, we will cooperate, each take what he needs, why not? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng understood now, he dared to love this guy who wanted to win him over and follow him, but this is even more impossible, not to mention that there is such a big industry in the family in Beijing, even if it is sitting on the mountain, it will have to be eight lifetimes later, if you don't go back and inherit it well, why do you want to take the initiative to mix in the underworld? Just because the surname Zhu may retaliate? Hehe, being afraid of others doing evil can't be a reason for doing evil yourself.

So Zheng Xiaofeng said "heh" and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Boss Wang, our family is also a bit of a family in the local area, I think no matter who it is, you must always understand the truth that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, right?" ”

In addition to the superficial meaning, Zheng Xiaofeng's words actually implied another meaning, that is, he was satirizing Wang Lifa. As far as today's events are concerned, Wang Lifa is a local snake, but the ghost market and the Qingyun Club are obviously equally famous, so how can Zhu Da be called a strong dragon in comparison? If the surname Zhu makes such a trouble, it doesn't matter if your boss Wang doesn't deal with it personally, he actually wants to use a newcomer as a shield, this kind of behavior is really too damaging and despicable.

Wang Lifa couldn't understand what Zheng Xiaofeng meant, his expression was a little subtle, and said: "Little brother, I know, today's incident is impossible for you to eliminate the mustard for me so quickly, I understand, but please also believe it, I am absolutely forced to do this, the relationship between the treasure stealing world is far more complex and subtle than you think, although the ghost market is famous, but after all, it is just a small place, what can be mixed up is nothing more than this geographical advantage and the prestige of our Mayor Shen, out of here, Outside is half of Xu Qingyun's world, and I have to be cautious when I act. However, there is one thing that I, Wang Lifa, can guarantee, from now on, for you, brother, the same thing will never happen again. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng listened, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly grinned, making the same mocking expression as Wang Lifa before.

"Boss Wang, it's all this time, you are still lying to me, how can you make me believe in your sincerity in making friends with me?"

"Lying? What lies? Wang Lifa subconsciously paused.

Zheng Xiaofeng smiled coldly and said, "The reason why you hurt me today is not because you have to, or this is not the main reason, in fact, you are completely out of your own considerations." The ghost market is managed by you for Shen Qianjue, which is like a boss and an employee, when the boss hands over the important affairs of the company to you, but when you look back, you actually set up a big enemy outside that can't be solved for a while, so no matter who provokes it first, the boss will have some thoughts about you as an employee, so even if you want to engage Zhu Da, it must be Shen Qianjue to do it, but at the same time, you can't let the boss feel that you, an employee, are incapable, and you only know how to be bullied. So it became your best choice to make a move through an outsider, but unfortunately, I was this unlucky outsider. How about Boss Wang, am I right? You don't want to tell me that you didn't think of any of this with your cleverness, do you? ”

Wang Lifa was silent now, his face was no longer taken for granted before, Wang Lifa didn't expect that such a seemingly ordinary teenager could understand people's hearts to such an extent, and what he said could be said to be not wrong at all. Wang Lifa knew that it was impossible for him to fool the young man in front of him anymore, so he thought for a while and said calmly: "Little brother, if I say that you want to find out, I can tell you now, will you agree to be friends with me?" ”

"What...... What? As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xiaofeng immediately hesitated, he thought that by now, there was no hope for the news, but he didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to mention it again, so he had to think about it carefully. What did you come here for? Isn't that it? Compared to this, friends or something...... It doesn't seem impossible to do it.

Zheng Xiaofeng weighed it for a long time, but still made up his mind, and suddenly pulled out a photo from his pocket. The expressions of both of them softened slightly, and Zheng Xiaofeng said slowly: "If your answer can satisfy me, then we are friends." ”

Wang Lifa immediately stepped forward with a smile, didn't talk nonsense, took the photo in his hand, and began to look at it carefully. I saw that the picture was a very strange-looking book, to be precise, a very strange picture painted on the book.

The book looks very old, the material is like cowhide, and the few lines of text that occasionally appear on it do not look like they are from Chinese civilization. Cowhide, foreign language, all taken together, this book must have a history of nearly 1,000 years.

The book depicts an old village nestled in the mountains, dotted with many strangely shaped wooden houses, some large, some small, some tall, some short, chaotic and dense, which does not look like it is used for people, but it is impossible to guess what it is intended for. The reason why this house is weird is because they all have a round top and a triangular bottom, and this shape of the building is very wasteful of space, as long as you are a normal person, you should not choose to build a house like this. And if you look closely, the whole village is surrounded by high mountain cliffs, and there is no gap at all, almost isolated, so why would anyone choose to build the village here? What's the point of building it?

However, these are not the real weird parts of this painting, and directly above the village, there is a dense black figure of a human figure suspended in mid-air, with its head lowered, like a ghost, as if it is staring at this ancient village, not knowing what it is.

Wang Lifa frowned and asked Zheng Xiaofeng, "What do you want to know?" ”

"I'm trying to ask, if this place really exists, and if it does, where do I find it?" Zheng Xiaofeng said.

Wang Lifa slowly put down the photo, his expression was a little strange, and after a few seconds he said seriously: "Little brother, if you came to me a day in advance, I really wouldn't be able to answer your question, but you came at the right time today." ”

Wang Lifa's words were obviously something Zheng Xiaofeng didn't expect, he blinked, reacted for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?" ”

Wang Lifa said: "This morning, a person came to me to ship, it was a batch of ceramics, according to the usual practice, I asked him where this batch of ceramics came from. The man said that he found this batch of goods by accident in the Tarim Mountains in our western Chinese Xinjiang, and the specific location is very similar to the one described in your photo, the terrain near the village, the style of the houses, it should be the same place. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Then where is this specific location?" ”

Wang Lifa replied: "This man didn't elaborate, but just said that it was the remains of an ancient village in the depths of Tarim Mountain, and that place was very hidden, and if he asked him to look for it, he might not be able to find it." But there was one thing, he didn't say that there were those humanoid shadows above the village, I don't know if there weren't, or if he didn't notice. ”
