"Okay?" I was very excited when I heard the sound.
"Uncle Liao, Xiaomi, are you okay? Can we go in?"
Xiaomi's reply came from inside the room.
"Okay, Brother Feng, come in."
"Come in and take a look," I greeted Xiaomei.
When I first entered the house, I smelled a smell of paste. There were traces of annealing on some white plaster boards on the floor. The No. 7 bell had been moved to one side, and Uncle Liao was packing his tools in his bag.
"I just heard it outside the door, can I try?" Xiaomei asked Uncle Liao.
"Of course," Liao Bo said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be so lucky. I got it right at once. I know a little about the principles of chimes. The current sound should be even better than the original sound."
Xiaomei picked up the small wooden hammer and struck the chime twice, trying the main tone and side tone respectively.
One bell with two tones, perfect tone.
I couldn't help but give Xiaomi a thumbs up and praised her for her great workmanship.
Xiaomi smiled and said: "It's all the credit of the master, Brother Feng, I haven't learned this step in my craft yet."
I have seen the repaired clock, and the original traces of excessive polishing on the inner side of the bell area are no longer visible. It is very magical, just like when Liao Bo repaired the hole in the Ashoka Pagoda.
Me, Xiaomei, Xiaomi, everyone showed joy on their faces. The unveiling bell on No. 7 became a perfect tone, which also means that the whole set of chimes is perfect, which is a good thing.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Liao, you really helped me a lot this time." I couldn't help but thank you again.
"Anyway, it's just a trivial matter," Uncle Liao smiled and waved his hand. He had already packed up his tools.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
I said yes, we will go back together and let Xiaomei lock the door.
Walking to the door together, Xiaomi reached out and opened the door.
It didn't matter that the door opened, everyone was stunned.
I saw the godfather standing straight at the door with a frosty face, looking at the few of us motionless.
"Fuck...God, you're not asleep yet..." I was the first to calm down, and I was stuttering a little.
The godfather walked to the chime step by step with a cold face.
He reached out and touched the No. 7 bell hanging on the top floor, as if he was comforting an old friend for many years.
I tapped it twice with a wooden hammer.
The godfather put down the wooden hammer, closed his eyes and listened carefully for a moment, with a smile on his face.
Opening his eyes, he turned his head and said to me: "Xiang Yunfeng, I owe you a favor."
I hurriedly said: "My godfather said it true. This is what I should do. Besides, as long as my godfather remembers what I said before, it will be fine."
"I don't have the blue potion in my hand, and I don't know the whereabouts of the blue potion. What I want is to stop the Changchun Society from causing trouble for me."
"hehe....."
The old man smiled and rubbed his temples, "We will leave the day after tomorrow. You and I will go north to Yulin. When Master Xie's matter is over, I will ask Wu Le to guarantee in front of you whether we in Changchun will use the big to bully the small.
.”
This operation of the Changchun Society was to send Xie Qirong back to Jiamusi Mental Hospital alive. Ganye was just one of them. He was delayed in Handan for two days because of the chime bell matter. According to his description, three other masters had already arrived in Yulin.
This time in Changchun, there are four guarantees and one guarantee to deal with the lunatic Xie Qirong.
Although I want to go back to Yulin, I don't want to see Xie Qirong even more. I get scared when I think of him.
My expression changed and I whispered, "Master, I won't be with you anymore. You just have to say it."
"That won't work. I know Wu Le. He has always done things in a measured way. You and I should go over to meet him and talk to him. If it is Wu Le who did something wrong, I will ask him to apologize to you in person. This is not just you.
Personal matters are also related to the reputation of the organization in the Tao."
"Wrong is wrong, right is right."
"Be frank and have a clear conscience."
"So as the person involved, you have to go with me."
"Then... then, sir, you must ensure my safety and not let anyone harm me."
"Hahaha," the old man suddenly laughed heartily and asked me what are you afraid of.
I said I was afraid of Xie Qirong and didn't want to see him.
"Why."
Gan Ye waved his hand proudly and said loudly: "Thank you, Master. He is not the best in the club. When Lord Ma is in good health, he can be dealt with by himself. This time, including me, the club has summoned four masters from Pi County."
, I think I will definitely lose if I come to thank Master."
I couldn't help but ask more questions.
I said Xie Qirong and Gan Ye were from the same era, why did he look much younger and didn't have much gray hair.
When I mentioned this, my godfather looked up at the ceiling as if he was lost in memories of that year. I called him twice before he came back to his senses.
The godfather couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master Xie suffered a lot when he was a child. Don't laugh at the young man's dream of the world. Who doesn't dream of the world as a young man?"
"Master Xie is proficient in qi refining. After his wife jumped into the river, he began to become abnormal. The descendants of Yanzi Li San scolded his deceased wife, and Master Xie destroyed the family. Wang Shaoyuan came to the door, but Master Xie detained him.
His eyes died tragically, which led to him being imprisoned in Jiamusi for so many years."
"In the final analysis, Master Xie has no children, so he can be considered a poor man."
"Master... I hear what you mean, is Xie Qirong's madness related to his wife? Could it be that his wife was harmed?"
"No."
"His wife committed suicide back then."
I asked why he committed suicide.
At this time, the godfather told me with a strange expression: "Because Master Xie, I am still a boy to this day."
"ah?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Seeing me like this, the godfather said, do you know why Master Xie uses a rattle?
As soon as I heard the word "rattle", I immediately shook my head and said I didn't know.
I was scared. When Lao Ge died in front of me, he was beaten to death with a rattle. His head was flattened. Xie Qirong also slapped Lao Ge twice to make Lao Ge's head look more symmetrical.
The godfather smiled and whispered: "Because decades ago, Master Xie bought the rattle for his children to play with..."
I heard something was wrong with this.
The godfather said that Xie Qirong was still a virgin, and a virgin is a virgin. It didn’t matter because I was the same, but the problem was that he was a virgin, why did he get married? How did his wife get pregnant, and where did the child come from?
I feel like there is a story here.
I was about to ask again, but the godfather waved his hand and said:
"Don't ask, I haven't seen him in how many years. I can hardly remember many things. I will leave the day after tomorrow in the morning. I have a special car. You can pack up and go with me."
...
At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, I returned to my place where I lived in a depressed mood. I fell on the sofa and didn't want to move.
At this time, Xiaomi turned on the light and asked me if I was hungry and if I wanted a midnight snack. She went to cook two bags of instant noodles.
I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost dawn. I thought I might not have breakfast after going to bed, so I nodded and asked Xiaomi to cook instant noodles.
The cook was from a well-off family and Xiaomi smiled and brought out a steaming pot of instant noodles, along with several small bowls and spoons. She invited Uncle Liao to come over and eat together.
I scooped up a bowl of noodles and slurped on them. I looked up when I heard footsteps.
I saw Xiaomi coming over with a stainless steel basin, and she put the basin in front of me.
When I saw it, there were three big dumplings in the basin.
It's steamed dumplings. Yesterday I had boiled dumplings and fried dumplings, and now it's steamed dumplings again.
I waved my hand and said I wouldn’t eat, just eat instant noodles.
Hearing what I said, Uncle Liao suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and handed the steamed dumplings to me with a solemn expression.
"Eat."
Xiaomi also picked up a steamed dumpling and handed it to me, saying that Brother Feng would eat one and it was delicious.
I took two steps back and said, what do you want to do? I won't eat.
Xiaomi and Uncle Liao looked at each other, and suddenly they smiled and walked over with steamed dumplings.
I ran two steps away, and Xiaomi and Liao Bo started chasing me around the table.
"I told you I won't eat!"
I got angry and slapped the steamed dumplings off Uncle Liao's hand.
The steamed dumplings fell to the ground and broke.
Using the light in the room, I looked down.
I saw that there seemed to be a lot of small insects in the dumpling filling, gray and white, burrowing in and out of the leek filling.
"It's okay, Brother Feng, I'll clean it up later. I have another one here." Xiaomi walked towards me holding the dumplings.
I yelled in fright.
"Plop..."
I fell off the sofa in the living room with my face on the ground and it hurt so much.
