Chapter 66: Huo Haiwei
After my master said this, Huo Haiwei and Assistant Ma turned their heads to look at me at the same time.
I stood there calmly, letting them see, my mind had already been taken away by my master's sentence "I want to go on a long journey".
Where is my master going?
He wouldn't say it for no reason, but now is not the time to ask.
I pursed my lips, and the fat man came next to me: "And me!" ”
Assistant Ma smiled and asked my master, "This young man is also your apprentice?" ”
"The disciple of the deceased, the master passed away, and occasionally he set up a partner with me." My master explained, and looked at Huo Haiwei again.
Huo Haiwei seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he looked at my master.
"Master Wu, don't mind what I say later, those who do our job are very cautious."
My master lowered his eyes, poured tea, and motioned for them to drink.
Huo Haiwei continued: "Before I came, I had people investigate you and know that you are a famous feng shui master in the rivers and lakes! Although many things or many cases, we have solved them logically. It's just that it's too smooth for people to believe it easily! Moreover, I seem to be able to feel that every case is very weird, and after solving this case, there seems to be a faint shadow of Master Wu behind it. ”
When I heard what he said, my heart jumped, what did he mean?
The fat man also put away the smile he had just put away and looked at Huo Haiwei vigilantly.
Maybe it's really a professional habit, and the vigilance and hostility exuded by me and the fat man were easily felt by Huo Haiwei.
He turned his head to look at me and the fat man, and at this glance, I felt like I could see directly into my bones.
"Hmm!" My master suddenly responded, and only then did he dispel the discomfort given to me by his sharp eyes, "You don't have evidence, even if you have evidence, what are you going to do?" Do you say that we engage in feudal superstition, or do we mean that we are involved in the case and want to arrest us? ”
Regarding my master's rejection of the official family, Assistant Ma was a little like sitting on pins and needles, probably not expecting that when he dealt with Zhou Lao's affairs before, he was kind to him, but now he will not give any face.
Even brought out Zhou Lao, it didn't seem to have any effect.
Huo Haiwei suddenly smiled, and the momentum on his body also subsided a little.
"Master Wu, you misunderstood! I'm here today and I really want to ask for your help! I know that many of the things you have dealt with, and there may have been misguesses, but the good news is that the results are good, and although the methods used are different, the end goal is the same as ours! So, since I'm sitting here, I don't have any prejudice against you! said that it was feudal superstition, and it was all for those liars outside. ”
"Yes, that's what it means!" Assistant Ma hurriedly said.
My master smiled, "I understand, so if you want to help, my apprentice can do it!" ”
"But ...... he," Huo Haiwei turned his head to look at me again, "Is he too young?" ”
I couldn't help but roll my eyes in my heart again, who do I look down on?
The fat man stabbed me and despised Huo Haiwei with his eyes, I raised my eyebrows and told him not to move, listen!
Huo Haiwei picked up the tea bowl and tasted it slowly.
I know that people like them, like us in the industry, don't trust anyone easily.
He can trust my master because my master is indeed very famous in the rivers and lakes.
And then because of Zhou Lao's recommendation.
He trusts Zhou Lao, although I don't know how much of this trust can be given to my master.
Since he can sit here with Assistant Ma today, it can show that he has indeed encountered something that cannot be solved.
In the previous dialogue, there was temptation, explanation, and an unquestionable certainty.
He's so sure my master will agree?
Seeing that he didn't speak, my master didn't speak, and motioned to Assistant Ma to drink tea.
He took a sip and looked up at me, "Ziwu, go and bring my cake Chen Pu and give them a taste!" ”
"Good!" I said yes and headed to the study.
That cake old Chen Pu, the master is very precious, only when he has to leave the house or come back from outside, he will break a little bit and drink two sips of the baby.
Now let me bring it and tell them to taste it, but I don't want to do it at all.
But when Master spoke, I couldn't help but listen, so I could only take it with emotion.
When I entered the study, I went to the bookcase and took a flat wooden box down, and turned around and put it on the bookcase.
I didn't expect the fat man to come in with me, "What are you doing here?" Get out! ”
Seeing that my expression was serious and my voice was stern, the fat man was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't enter here, I went out!" ”
"Forget it!" I said again, looking at him as if he was a little hurt, and then I realized that my tone just now seemed to be a little hurtful.
The fat man is so good, his emotions come and go quickly, and when he hears me say "forget it", he turns his face and laughs.
I used a tea needle to pry off a piece of pu'er, and the little fat man looked back and forth in the study, and when he saw the tablet offered by my master, he immediately withdrew his gaze, walked to my side, and whispered, "I really didn't know that I couldn't just enter here." ”
I sighed, "Forget it this time, don't come in again!" ”
"I promise!"
"Let's go!"
The fat man and I went out of the study, my master had already poured the tea dregs, reached out to take the Pu'er I handed over, and said with a smile: "Come, taste this!" This can't be bought with money, the entrance has an endless aftertaste, it seems that more than 50 years of precipitation has let all people, things, and things melt into this tea soup! ”
Assistant Ma smiled and nodded, "Fifty-year-old Chen Pu, then I'm going to have a good taste!" ”
Huo Haiwei still didn't speak, and after listening to my master's words, he seemed to be thoughtful.
Wait until the tea is brewed, pour it into the washed tea bowl, and the three of them take it, take a sip each, and put it down.
Assistant Ma said: "Sure enough, it is a good tea, soft in the mouth, obvious sweetness, and a pleasantly fruity aroma." ”
My master nodded and looked at Huo Haiwei, who took another sip of the tea bowl and put it down.
Raising his head and looking at my master, "I feel a little bitter, it doesn't seem to be obvious, but after tasting it carefully, I realized that the root of the tongue is sweet, and the fruity aroma is not very strong, but it can make people think of a piece of fruit forest flowering and fruiting, taking root, endlessly, and long!" ”
My master finally showed a sincere smile, nodded, and looked up to call me over, "Ziwu, come here!" ”
I walked up to my master and faced Huo Haiwei and Assistant Ma.
My master said: "I'm not shirking, I'm really going to go on a long trip, and Zhou Lao also knows about this." ”
As soon as these words came out, Assistant Ma was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "It's that ......"
My master nodded, and he immediately frowned, "But if it's because of that, why is Old Zhou ......?"
"I understand what Old Zhou meant, so I'll ask my apprentice to help you! Don't look at him young, he has almost learned all my skills, and there is nothing he can't handle! ”
Huo Haiwei looked up at me again, as if trying to see me through by looking.
I also looked at him, and his face was the same as what I saw before, but it was ......
My pupils shrank, and a layer of blood seemed to linger between his eyebrows.
I didn't see it clearly just now because of the angle, the blood color is not thick, it should have been with him for a long time, or he was exposed to something bloody, and it was formed after a long time of not being able to solve it.
"See?" My master asked me suddenly.
"Hmm!" I nodded, "There is blood lingering between my eyebrows, I should have encountered a murder!" ”
