Regarding Blind Chen, because he has been an old friend of the old man for many years, I have always respected him in the past, but this incident has caused a subtle change in my mentality. He behaves very mysteriously, although I have never interacted with the old man before.
Li Da Longtou disappeared suddenly, but he seemed to know everything. For example, in the mausoleum, he has been leading the way since we met him behind the Corpse Washing River. He seemed to have completely grasped the layout there.
Thinking of Ashue's questioning of him, I also felt that he had hidden something very important from us.
Originally I wanted to ask him, but I didn't expect that he also disappeared at this time. The three old men disappeared while playing together, and they had the experience of going to the ground together before. This can't help but remind people of many things.
"Dao Sect Seven Stars" and "Seven Stars Leader" Axue and Chen Xiazi respectively proposed such terms, as if these two are a very key point throughout the whole matter, but I can't think of any connection between them.
Finally, I asked the monkey some things, such as the woman in black and the cross-eyed man. The monkey said that he had never seen them again since they escaped.
We already know that Cross Eyes is a chess piece secretly manipulated by a certain force and has some entanglements with Li Dalongtou, but what about the woman in black? I am more curious about her origins. She does not seem to have any hostility towards me. Who is she?
With what purpose?
It’s winter again. It doesn’t often snow here in Shanghai, but it’s still terribly cold, especially when the cold wave from the northeast blows like this. People all over the street are wrapped up like penguins with only two exposed.
Eye.
Staying in the shop for more than a month has made me feel a little decadent. There is no news about the few people I haven't heard from at all, so I can only wait.
It was closed that night, so I went to a nearby snack bar as usual, ordered a braised pork and vegetables, and a glass of rice wine, and ate and drank alone.
The snack bar is very small, with only three or four tables. The shop is run by a woman in her thirties. I don’t know her real name, but others call her Axiang.
Axiang didn't hire any helpers in the store. She was just dragging a half-year-old child by herself. Her child was still in school. She would come back to help her with some odd jobs after school. This woman was also capable of working.
I worked hard for several years.
The woman's face is quite iconic, with fair and supple skin, but her reputation is not very good. I heard that the man in her family used to be the second boss of a construction site, and then he found a small job outside when he got money.
, I was homeless for days and days, and in the end, I simply didn’t enter the house for several months.
This woman didn't care about him, because she herself wasn't a serious person. She couldn't stand the loneliness after not seeing her husband for a long time, and she had a lively relationship with several nearby private households.
Later, her man found out about this, and the two of them got into a fight on the street. Axiang said, if you can work for other women outside, I can work part-time for other men at home.
If you don't like it and want a divorce, fine, you can just come up with the money. This will give you a head start. Otherwise, you can wipe your own butt clean first and then come back to take care of me.
At the end of the incident, the man turned around and left, not coming back for two years. The woman became even more courageous, and sometimes even started messing around in the store in broad daylight.
Although Ah Xiang's reputation is not very good, she is still a cheerful person. I often come here to eat, and I am already an acquaintance with her. Every time I come here, I get a bunch of rice wine for free, saying that she brewed it herself.
, others generally can’t see it, and I quite like it when I drink it.
Also, her cooking is very good, which is the fundamental reason why I come here often. Her braised pork is my favorite, and I have to order a plate every time I come here.
There was no one else in the shop at this time. I was chatting with her while I was eating. She liked to joke a lot, especially when there were no other people around. She would tell a dirty joke, which often made me blush.
She herself was giggling on the side.
By the time I finished eating, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and I was a little dizzy from drinking. After paying the bill, I was ready to go home.
Ah Xiang said to me: "Xiao Wang, you won't leave tonight. I'll stay and take care of you. Don't think you're too dirty. I'll keep it safe for you."
I gave a wry smile, shook my head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be woken up by a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and then be stuffed under the bed by you. I'm sure I won't be the only one stuffed in in the end."
It's possible for one person to put together a table of mahjong, so I won't be tortured to death in one night."
After hearing this, Axiang was not angry at all. She giggled at me and said, "Xiao Wang, I think you are usually quite honest. I didn't expect you to be so bad. It seems that you men are all the same. Well, since you don't
If you stay, then get out of here. Be careful not to hit the telegraph pole! Haha..."
When I returned to my apartment, it was already eleven o'clock. As soon as I took out the key, I suddenly found that the door lock had been unlocked, revealing a slight gap.
I was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but feel happy. Only the old man and I lived in this house. The monkey usually lived in the shop. Could it be that the old man was back?
I hurriedly opened the door and walked in, but I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped in with my front feet, a person quickly came forward and pressed something cold against my neck. "Don't move, or I'll kill you."
My body froze in place and my heart was beating fast. I never expected to encounter such a situation. From the sound of this man's voice, he must be no more than thirty years old. He spoke a foreign voice. Could it be that he was a thief who broke into a house and robbed a house.
"What are you going to do?" I quickly calmed myself down. If this is a thief, it usually won't hurt people's lives, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
The man sneered and said, "Hand over the things."
I was shocked. Hearing this tone, it seemed that he was not here to steal money. So I asked, "What is it? Please explain it clearly."
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me, it's just something you brought back from Henan."
My whole body was shaken. How could this person know this? Could it be? "Did you come here because of cross-eyes?" I asked.
"Stop talking nonsense. If I ask you to hand it over, do it right away. Otherwise, the knife in my hand won't have eyes."
When I heard this, instead of being nervous, I felt relieved. It seemed that this was a newbie, at least he didn't have much experience in doing this kind of thing. He even told me what kind of weapon he was holding. I couldn't help but grin.
"Why are you laughing? Tell you, stop playing tricks with me, or you will reap the consequences."
I was startled for a moment, and I was very surprised. How could he know that I was laughing because he was so blind and I didn't laugh out loud? Could it be that he was wearing night vision equipment?
Night vision equipment has appeared on the market now, but the resolution is very low. Generally, this kind of equipment is prepared by the military, and the control is very strict. Even if it is available, it is expensive, and it is not available to ordinary people. It seems that this
A person's identity and origin are very particular.
But this also gives me a perfect opportunity to wear night vision equipment in my home. Isn’t that just asking for death?
"Okay, I'll give it to you." I said, and then slowly moved towards the shelf next to me. I groped on the shelf with one hand, and quietly touched the light switch with the other hand.
"Damn it, you're looking for death." Suddenly there was an angry curse from behind me. I knew that the other party must have noticed my move. At this moment, I was kicked hard on the back and hit hard.
On the shelf in front of me, the items on it were scattered all over the floor, but I took advantage of this moment to press the light switch.
When the orange lights came on, a scream suddenly sounded from behind me. The man covered his eyes with his hands and fell to the ground, howling like a slaughtering pig.
I stood up with a sneer. The room was now in a mess. There were many things on the shelves that were now scattered on the floor. There were books and antiques. There were a few things that I liked very much, such as models of ships. Although they were not
They are worth nothing, but they are all very beautiful, but now most of them are damaged.
"Damn it." I looked at those things distressedly, and my teeth itched with hatred. I had nothing to do with the raid, which caused me to lose so much.
Turning to look at the man, he had already taken off the blindfold on his face and was still rubbing his eyes. It was obvious that he had been greatly stimulated just now.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" I asked.
At this time, I made a big mistake. I didn't take advantage of his inconvenience to control him first. By the time I realized it, it was already too late. The man suddenly jumped up from the ground and headed towards the door.
Run away.
By the time I chased him to the door, I could no longer see the other person's shadow. It was simply impossible to find someone in this dark environment, so I could only sigh and let it go.
After I returned to the house and locked the door, I began to think about what had just happened. I had never seen that person before. Who sent him here?
Since he specified what he wanted me to bring back from Henan, he must be an insider, and the scope became very small.
The first choice is of course cross-eyed, but we don't rule out the possibility of other people, such as the woman in black and blind man Chen. The person just now didn't mean to kill me. It seemed that he only wanted those things.
Come on, there are two things, a ten-layer coffin and a copper ring. What does that person really want? A ten-layer coffin? Thinking about it, I think it is impossible. Although this ten-layer coffin is very weird and evil, it seems
It doesn't have much value or function. Then it should be the copper ring. This copper ring looks very weird. Even if it is sold, it won't be worth much. So what is its function?
Forget it, no matter how much I guess, I can't guess this kind of thing. I just need to take good care of the copper environmental protection. There is no need to worry so much about other things.
