Chapter 21 [Xuanyang Club] (Part 2)
Walking out of the gate of Xuanyang Club and getting into the car that had already parked there. Neither of them spoke. Sparrow silently started the car and drove away. Luo Lie turned around and looked behind. Seeing that Xuanyang Club was already far behind, he turned to Sparrow and said, "Thank you!" No matter what the other party is in, he should say thank you.
The sparrow's response was: "Are you hungry?"
Luo Lie shook his head, but his stomach screamed very honestly. The sparrow couldn't help laughing. Luo Lie was inevitably a little embarrassed. He stayed in the cold basement for so long, cold and hungry, and when he entered the warm car, his intestinal roar naturally became much louder.
The sparrow said: "There is a night market not far ahead. I'll treat you to a meal."
Luo Lie originally wanted to say that he was here to be a businessman, but he was short of money when he touched his pocket. In fact, he still wanted to return to the hotel as soon as possible so that the blind people and the others could not worry about their concerns. He was about to say it out, but he heard the sparrow say, "You don't have to worry about your companions, they probably forgot you a long time ago."
"How do you know?"
The sparrow said: "I followed you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that you were caught here by the Japanese." The car had arrived at the entrance of a night market called Laobatou, which was close to Meigouying Wharf. Because the wharf works day and night, the night market came into being. Laobatou is the best business room. When the shift is handed over at twelve o'clock every day, it is the most lively here. Now it is two in the morning, and most of the drinkers have dispersed.
There was only one old man in the small restaurant to keep warm against the stove, and there was no customer except him.
The sparrow should have been here before and was very familiar with everything here. He ordered a few special dishes. The old man arranged for them to sit in the compartment east of the backyard. The compartment was not big, and the long kang was separated. The room was as warm as spring. The two took off their shoes and got on the kang.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "This is the first time I have been on the kang with a woman."
The sparrow glared at him, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot. Luo Lie had already seen her shyness from the sparrow's eyes, and he was secretly amused. Although the sparrow's makeup skills were superb, her clear eyes often easily reveal her simple heart. Luo Lie wrapped his feet under his thighs and felt the whole body heated. Then he took off his coat and sighed and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have stayed in the Japanese small dark room tonight."
The old man brought a small stove, and the iron pot sat on the stove, which was fragrant and stewed, accompanied by a plate of peanuts and a plate of braised beef. Although the roasting knife is not a good wine, it can warm your stomach with a sip, especially for Luo Lie who has been frozen for a while for the middle of the night.
The sparrow only poured a small cup, and tasted it lightly, and the style of drinking was full of femininity.
Luo Lie first filled himself half full, and felt warm all over his body. His body had recovered his vitality and naturally he had the confidence to speak. Then he said: "So you have been following me all the time? I didn't expect that I still have such great charm."
The sparrow sneered at her nose: "Don't be too sentimental. I didn't follow you. You left without saying goodbye last night. I couldn't find your place for a while, so I could only find that big nose first." The big nose pointed to Arnold Teutun.
Luo Lie thought to himself that he and Arnold were just a coincidence tonight, and the sparrow might not be able to believe everything. Perhaps she was following him, but it was meaningless to discuss this matter. He smiled faintly and said, "This trouble tonight was caused by a big nose."
Sparrow said: "I didn't expect you to be really good to your friends."
Luo Lie said: "Friends should have watched over each other, not to mention that I owe someone a favor." In fact, the favor that I owe Arnold should be counted on the head of Sparrow. At that time, I met Arnold in order to rescue Sparrow.
"It's a pity that your friends are flying in the face of disaster. No one cares about your life or death. In the end, I, an outsider, will help you solve the situation."
Luo Lie slowly lowered the wine glass and smiled and said, "It sounds like you are instigating our relationship."
The sparrow said: "I don't have that leisure. You saved me yesterday and I helped you today. Even if we don't owe each other."
Luo Lie said: "You are so nice to me, I don't know how to repay you."
Sparrow said: "It's a pity that there are too few people in this world who know how to repay kindness."
"Not necessarily, aren't you?"
The sparrow looked at Luo Lie quietly: "How do you know that I will not repay my kindness with revenge?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "You like to joke!"
"Do I look like a joke?" asked Sparrow.
Luo Lie said: "It seems that I will stay away from you in the future."
The sparrow said: "Human good and evil are often in a moment. I can save you and harm you."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I really can't imagine anything I offend you."
The sparrow said: "Luo Xingmu!"
Luo Lie said laughing and cryingly: "How many times do you want me to tell you? I don't know him at all, and I have never seen him before."
The sparrow said: "The mastermind behind the hijacking me yesterday should be Luo Xingmu!"
Luo Lie was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the sparrow with suspicion. It was obvious that the sparrow tried every means to find Luo Xingmu, but why did Luo Xingmu suddenly become Luo Xingmu hijack her? Although Luo Xingmu told him a lot of things and generously gave him two properties and a jade slip, Luo Lie never believed everything about what Luo Xingmu said, and he did not want to dig deeper and investigate the truth. Even after the sparrow appeared, he still did not want to get involved in the grudges between them. However, the sparrow's words made him realize that Luo Xingmu was not that simple. Is there an unknown force behind Luo Xingmu?
The sparrow said: "The jade slip he gave you contains the most distinctive words of all dynasties, and the most difficult ones are oracle bone inscriptions and Dayu inscriptions."
Luo Lie said: "Although I am not an archaeological expert, I can also see that all the words on the jade slip were carved later, and they were all fakes. Do you believe that they were antiques?"
Sparrow said: "The jade slip is an ancient object. The jade used to make the jade slip comes from the late Qin and early Han dynasties. The color on the jade slip should be corpse stains. It is a long time, and most of them are from ancient tombs. However, the engravings on it should be something in the past ten years. If I guess correctly, this jade slip is a work made by Luo Xingmu himself." Sparrow said it tactfully, but the meaning is very clear, and he didn't say that Luo Xingmu was faked.
As early as when Luo Xingmu gave him the jade slip, Luo Lie made the same speculation. Now Sparrow said this, it should be wrong. After all, her father Ma Boxuan is the top archaeological expert in contemporary China and has a family background. If this jade slip was really made by Luo Xingmu, then he obviously lied to himself. What is the purpose of giving him the jade slip? After a little thought, you can find that there are too many hidden mysteries in it. Could it be that the jade slip is bait? Luo Xingmu's real intention is not himself. His purpose is to use the jade slip to lead to the sparrow? If this is true, Luo Xingmu's scheming and routine will be too deep.
The sparrow said: "The jade slip is bait, and you are also bait. Luo Xingmu is a man who is very scheming and scheming. He should have noticed that we are looking for his whereabouts. So he took the plan and wrote a letter to you on purpose, and then found someone to reveal the news to us without any trace, so that our judgment will be wrong, and the clue will be introduced step by step into the game."
Luo Lie said: "I have never met him, I am just an ordinary pastor. What's the point of spending so much energy on me?"
Sparrow said: "His real intention is to lead me into the game. After my father's death, I will be the only one in the world who can crack the Dayu stele."
Luo Lie sighed in his heart. This girl was too confident. Although her attainments in ancient characters were not as good as hers, in the field of Dayu inscriptions, no one in the world could surpass her. Even if Ma Boxuan was resurrected, she could not. After all, her grandfather had taught herself all the words on the Yu Shen Monument. In this way, the jade slip was just a bait and had no important meaning. It is not difficult to figure out the truth. Putting aside the complex changes on the jade slip and the various fonts of different ages, who would carve the real precious things on the jade slip? This is actually the same as the golden key in Ye Qinghong's hand. When she thought of Ye Qinghong, she didn't know if she would be worried about her arrest. Are she busy rescuing herself now?
