CHAPTER XIV
"Sister Xie, what do you say is there a way to put the poison into the coffee, poison people to death without knowing it, and you won't be caught." Su Jianxia sat on the stool behind the bar and asked seriously.
Sister Xie's hand that was mixing coffee trembled, and some of the coffee that was about to be mixed spilled fell on the table, and she quickly reached out and touched the rag on the side to wipe the water stains on the bar.
"Xia Xia, this Miss Xu should be here for the third time today, and she hasn't talked to the boss much, so there's no need to poison her directly." Sister Xie helped the frame of her glasses and glanced at Xu Chenxi, who was sitting in the hall.
It's also a working day, but she seems to have brought some work papers with her, and after asking for a cup of coffee, she began to flip through the papers in her seat.
"It's indispensable to guard against people, I didn't have a good impression of her from the first day this person came, and sure enough, you see, I ran over every day for the past three days, and my uncle didn't want to see her and couldn't see it, isn't this upside down?" Su Jianxia said angrily.
Sister Xie watched Su Jianxia's emotions become more and more excited, and quickly put her middle finger to her mouth, "Oh, my aunt, you can be quiet, she is a guest anyway, and she didn't take the initiative to hook up with the boss." ”
"What's wrong with the guests, there are few customers in the store, a cup of coffee is more than 20 yuan, and one more or less doesn't matter." Su saw Xia glaring, "No, I have to talk to her, what is the matter with coming every day from now on." ”
After speaking, Su Jianxia reached out and took the coffee in Sister Xie's hand, put it into a tray and walked towards Xu Chenxi. Sister Xie, who completely ignored the behind, shouted in a low voice: "I haven't finished adjusting yet!" You come back first! ”
"Miss Xu, the coffee you want is ready."
As soon as Xu Chenxi said "um", he heard a crisp sound of something slapping on the table, and then a few drops of cold liquid fell on his hand.
Xu Chenxi frowned, raised her head just in time to meet Su Jianxia's condescending face and unkind gaze, and then looked at the tray in her hand and the spilled coffee, and understood a little in her heart
"Miss Su, do you have an opinion about me?" Xu Chenxi naturally took a sip of coffee, and then froze in place.
It was brought before it had time to add water?
Su Jianxia couldn't help laughing, and said expressionlessly: "Miss Xu, what are these words, you are the only customer in the store, how dare I have an opinion on you." ”
Xu Chenxi put down the coffee, took out a piece of paper and wiped the water stains on her hands, "Then Miss Su has something to say to me?" ”
Su Jianxia pulled out the chair opposite and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Miss Xu has come to the store every day for the past three days to drink coffee, can't it be that she has taken a fancy to my uncle?" ”
"I don't rule it out." Xu Chenxi nodded seriously.
Su saw Xia Yi frowning, "That is, you talked the most on the day of the blind date, right?" The past three days have not added up to more than ten sentences, why do you fall in love with him? Do you know him? It can't just because he's good-looking, opened a store, and looks a little rich, right? ”
"There are also a lot of good-looking and rich people who chase me, some look like Korean stars, and some drive Ferrari and Lamborghini downstairs to my house, if I were like these two, then I wouldn't be single now."
"So what exactly are you interested in him? You don't have any abnormal thoughts, do you? Su Jianxia immediately became alert.
"I just think he's a funny person, unlike the men who come to see me every day and pretend to like me very much, he doesn't seem to be interested in me at all, and he's even ...... Hide from me. Xu Chenxi described.
"What's wrong with liking people who aren't interested in you?"
Xu Chenxi shook her head, "It's not just because of this. What about you, weren't you adopted by him, it stands to reason that you should be in the relationship between the guardian and the ward, and with such a big age gap, will you still like him? ”
"You have to take care of it!" Su Jianxia glared: "I'll tell you the truth, it's useless to squat every day, don't you find that he is not interested in you, every time I see you, he will avoid you." ”
"I can see it, but so what, it was like this at the beginning, maybe he will be interested if I come a few more times, and then after getting along with me, he thinks we are very suitable, and we fall in love and get married." Xu Chenxi looked at the girl who was getting more and more angry opposite, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Su Jianxia took a deep breath, and was just about to start "preaching" to the other party with the brewed vocabulary, when a thin man outside the door happened to push the door in, and called "Miss Su" from a distance.
As a middle-aged man who has been married for many years and is familiar with women's psychology, he immediately realized where the problem between the two people was, and took a few steps back involuntarily.
"Let's talk first...... We'll talk about it later. Hu Shouyu cautiously retreated to a table in the corner of the hall and sat down, feeling a little further away from the tense atmosphere before breathing a sigh of relief.
Interrupted by Hu Shouyu like this, Su Jianxia suddenly couldn't remember the manuscript that he had prepared a long time ago, and after sitting in place for a while, he glared at Xu Chenxi with some resentment, turned around and went upstairs.
"She's gone?"
In the room on the second floor, Wei Ziqi was lying on a crystal clear jade recliner, shaking the recliner with his eyes closed, and holding a bamboo leaf puff fan that was popular in the countryside more than ten years ago in his right hand, fanning it gently.
"No, I'm still sitting downstairs, saying that I want to come every day to make you fall in love with her for a long time." Su Jianxia rolled his eyes, "I didn't see that Mr. Wei's personal charm is so great, people drive Ferraris, and they look like Korean stars, and they can't get this surname Xu, but it makes you fascinated, and she takes the initiative to come to the door day by day, and the recent performance of the store depends on her more than 20 yuan a day." ”
"Why does your tone sound so wrong?" Wei Ziqi felt a little flustered for no reason.
"How could it be, oh yes, it must be because it is not as dignified and knowledgeable as Miss Xu's words." Su Jianxia walked in front of Wei Ziqi and sat on a log stool with the same texture, looking at the man in front of him with unkind eyes.
Wei Ziqi was a little nervous, sat up from the recliner, and quickly defended: "I really don't have any interest in her, otherwise I wouldn't have gone down to see her, and I'm so relieved that you can come forward to solve it, doesn't this show my attitude?" ”
"You still have an attitude, I thought you wouldn't refuse to come." Su saw Xia's yin and yang strange qidao.
"What are these words, let her go, you must let him go!" Wei Zi Kai looked serious.
"You'd better really think so." Su Jianxia lightly hammered the table, "By the way, Hu Shouyu is here, it should be arranged for the family, and today is the next day." ”
Wei Ziqi looked at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall, and the time stopped at 10:23, "It's still early, but it's just right, and it's just in time for lunch." ”
"I won't run into her when I go down, will I?" Wei Ziqi suddenly reacted.
Su Jianxia sneered: "People are sitting in the hall downstairs, with a wide field of vision, facing the staircase, what's the matter, you jumped from the second floor?" ”
"It's not impossible." Wei Ziqi thought seriously and said, "You take Hu Shouyu to get in the car first, and I'll be there in a while." ”
"Yo, I didn't expect that one day there would be a woman that Mr. Wei was going to hide." Su Jianxia gave Wei Ziqi a middle finger, and jumped up and ran out without waiting for him to reply.
Walking downstairs, Hu Shouyu was still sitting in the corner, looking around from time to time, looking a little nervous.
Xu Chenxi glanced behind him after hearing the footsteps, and found that he was a little disappointed after going downstairs alone, but he quickly disappeared, lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
"Come with me." Su Jianxia walked up to Hu Shouyu and knocked on the table.
"Ah, okay, isn't Mr. Wei together?" Hu Shouyu looked around and didn't see Wei Ziqi's figure.
Su Jianxia looked at Xu Chenxi quietly, she didn't seem to pay attention to this side, "He'll be here in a while, let's go over first." ”
"Okay, okay." Hu Shouyu also glanced at Xu Chenxi's reaction, and then realized that he shouldn't have asked in person.
After Su Jianxia walked to the bar, he took out the car key from the drawer and patted Sister Xie on the shoulder, who was watching the drama, "Sister Xie, I'll go out, you can just lock the door when you get off work at night." ”
"Don't worry." Sister Xie waved her hand without looking back, in the past few years of working here, it has often occurred that the two bosses have not gone out and not come back, and she has long been used to the days when she closes after work.
"That woman, don't let her go upstairs!" Su saw that Xia was just about to leave, and saw Xu Chenxi looking over here, so he hurriedly turned around and admonished.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Sister Xie replied nonchalantly.
Su Jianxia sighed, he must have watched the drama until he got up, and he didn't listen to it.
Took Hu Shouyu out of the door and walked to the gate on the side of Chaoge, Su Jianxia pressed the key in his hand, and the door slowly rose, revealing the black Audi inside.
Hu Shouyu always thought that the shop next to Chaoge was just not open, but he didn't expect it to be a private garage.
"Mr. Wei's personal assets should be a lot, there can be two two-story storefronts on this street where every inch of land is valuable, and the rent alone is going to five million in a year. This coffee shop looks ...... It's really not very profitable. ”
"I don't know much about that, but I'm not really short of money." Su Jianxia put on sunglasses and pulled the driver's seat, "You sit in the back, uncle will be here in a while." ”
"Okay." Hu Shouyu nodded and opened the door in the back row.
The Audi started quickly, Su Jianxia skillfully shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, and the car drove in the direction of Fusu Road where there was less traffic, so that when he left, he didn't notice the woman behind him who pushed open the gate towards the entrance of the song.
Su Jianxia drove very fast, looking young, but he seemed to be more skilled than many years of old drivers, and he controlled the gaps between cars very accurately, and he could always pass by other vehicles without slowing down.
The two of them drove all the way to the south of Jiangning City, and the speed of the car has been stable at about one hundred and sixty or seventy yards, it stands to reason that such a speed in Jiangning will long be targeted by the traffic police, but until they leave the city, they have not even seen the shadow of a police car.
"Miss Su, is the master we want to see also in Jiangning?" Hu Shouyu asked with a strong push on his back.
"yes." Su Jianxia nodded.
"If the blood pact is lifted, will I die?" Hu Shouyu hesitated for a moment and asked.
"It's not good to say, you have to meet someone to know." A cold male voice came from the co-pilot.
Hu Shouyu was stunned, "Mr. Wei, when will you ......?"
The car kept driving at high speed, and he was still in the car, and he didn't notice when there was a sudden extra person.
"Did you bring the jade statue?" Wei Ziqi asked.
"Bring it." Hu Shouyu hurriedly took out the jade statue from his bag.
When I saw it last week, only the lower part was soaked with blood-like red liquid, but now that I took it out, the red had soaked into the head of the jade statue, and only the upper part of the face was still crystal white.
"What would happen to me if this jade statue was all dyed red?" Hu Shouyu asked cautiously.
Wei Ziqi glanced at the jade statue in the rearview mirror and did not answer.
After driving another forty or fifty kilometers to the south, the car stopped in front of a large mountain in the suburbs.
Hu Shouyu put away the jade statue, got out of the car with the two, and looked at the deep mountains in front of him.
This mountain seems to be called the Hidden Mountain, and in the early years, when I had to go to the tomb in person, I passed here several times, because from the perspective of feng shui, this mountain does not look like a big tomb is hidden, so Hu Shouyu and the people in the family have never entered the mountain to explore.
It's just that when I rested here a few times, I heard the nearby villagers say that the reason why the hidden mountain is called the hidden mountain is because there is a master who has not entered the world living in the mountain, but when asked about the origin and appearance of this master, no one has seen it.
For this kind of folk rumors, Hu Shouyu has heard of it, and whether there is a master or not does it affect him to rob the tomb, so he didn't take it too seriously, that is, he followed Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia over today, and only then did he remember the rumors he had heard here before.
"Mr. Wei, this mountain doesn't look like it can be inhabited." Hu Shouyu said cautiously.
Judging from his years of experience in the mountains, the hidden mountain will only be covered by countless trees and vegetation, and there are many jackals and wild beasts hidden among them, if anyone can live on this mountain, it will take at least five or six years to clear a clearing for himself, and he must always be on guard against the invasion of wild beasts.
In addition, if you don't go down the mountain, you have to consider water sources, crop planting, etc., which are all troubles, is that master so leisurely?
"He doesn't live in the mountains." Wei Ziqi said lightly.
Well? Don't live in the mountains? Is it to live under the mountain?
Hu Shouyu had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia walking towards a certain place at the foot of the mountain, he didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly followed, after all, he still had to rely on the two of them to save his life, and it was not good to ask too many questions.
Wei Zi Qi first looked up at the sun in the sky, it was now more than eleven o'clock in the morning, the sun soon reached above his head, looked at the place where the sun was shining, Wei Zi Qi stretched out his hand and drew a complex symbol in the air.
After the symbol was drawn, the sunlight above the heads of the three people suddenly reversed its direction and slowly moved away from the mountain, and as the sunlight moved away, the hidden mountain in front of the three people was like a painting, and the owner opened the drawing paper, revealing the true face behind it.
A winding mountain road climbs halfway up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and although there are trees on both sides of the road, they are not as dense as the original trees of the hidden mountain, but thick plane trees.
Different from the common plane trees on the street, each of the plane trees here is about 100 meters or more, with lush branches and leaves, which can really be regarded as shading the sky and the sun, and in this kind of summer when the sun shines on the head, the mountain road in front of you is also shaded by the trees, and there is no sun on the road.
"Is this, what the mountain is?" Not to mention Hu Shouyu who stayed where he was, even Su Jianxia had been in Jiangning for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen a hidden mountain with his disguise torn off.
"It's a separate space." Wei Ziqi explained: "My friend, with his ...... The family doesn't like the changes and changes in the world today, and they still live in the existing space, so they will inevitably be disturbed by the world, so he has opened up an independent space here, although it exists in this place, no one will ever find it. ”
Su Jianxia thought for a while, and then remembered that the "family" that Wei Ziqi said referred to was his friend's seven wives.
Just as Wei Ziqi was about to take the lead in going up the mountain, a coughing sound suddenly came from behind the three of them.
