Chapter 229: On Chess
After dinner, Li Jiu lay on the chair and drank tea, and threw the task of washing dishes directly to Xiao Yeting. If he didn't cook, he would go to wash dishes. This is Li Jiu's principle.
After Xiao Yeting washed the dishes, Li Jiu drank tea with a puzzled expression on his face and said, "What did I want to say just now? I can't remember it for a moment."
"It's okay, don't worry, think about it slowly. Sometimes the more anxious you are, the less you can't remember it." Xiao Yeting opened the book in her hand and said to Li Jiu.
Then Li Jiu remembered it and said to Xiao Yeting: "When you were tidying upstairs, did you see a bald monk? He is about the same age as me. Have you seen him?"
Xiao Yeting shook her head and said that she didn't see it.
Li Jiu continued to say in confusion: "Where did that guy go? He didn't even leave a letter."
However, Li Jiu was not worried about Ru Ye's safety. After all, in this world, only an old monster of Xue Yi's level could do it. Besides, that guy was covered in copper and iron bones, Xue Yi said that he might not be able to break his defense.
Then Li Jiu stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while, just read books at home, don't run around."
"Yeah." Xiao Yeting nodded. He naturally knew what Li Jiu was doing when he went out, so he didn't talk much nonsense.
Then Li Jiu put the key on the table and then went out.
Li Jiu quietly came to Lao Wang's next door. Lao Wang's electric car was parked in the yard, so for convenience, he usually inserted the keys into the electric car, mainly for convenience.
However, Lao Wang is indeed convenient. He not only makes it convenient for himself, but also for Li Jiu.
Li Jiu turned over and started the electric car, and shouted at the room: "Uncle Wang, I will borrow your electric car and use it. I will pay it back to you when I come back."
After saying that, Li Jiu rode an electric bike out of the yard of Lao Wang's house. He saw Lao Wang wearing a slipper and the other one ran out of the door before he could even wear it.
Lao Wang looked at Li Jiu riding his electric bike, but there was no choice but to yell at Li Jiu's back from behind, "Bao Lamb, remember to fill up the oil for me."
"I know~"
Li Jiu's voice drifted farther and farther away. Old Wang shook his head helplessly, and then walked into the room.
Li Jiu drove to Jiangshan Middle School.
After Li Jiu came to Jiangshan Middle School, he went directly to the principal's office.
Walking into the office, Li Jiu said to Jianghong sitting on the chair, "How is it? How is the school situation in the past few days I haven't been there?"
Jianghong raised her head suddenly. When she saw Li Jiu, she quickly got up from the chair, then came to Li Jiu, pulled Li Jiu and walked out the door.
On the way, Li Jiu called out Jianghong and said, "Stop, stop, why are you so anxious? Is there something amazing happening?"
"I'm also saying, I'm so anxious. After you left, four more students died. Your bald friend said he ran away. What have you been doing these days? You can't find someone in the teahouse. Now the whole school is in panic, and many students have dropped out of school." After saying that, Jianghong took Li Jiu to the parking lot downstairs, then stuffed Li Jiu into his car, and then started the car and drove towards the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Jianghong parked the car and pulled Li Jiu toward the morgue.
On the way, Jianghong greeted the old man who watched the morgue, and then the old man who was in the morgue opened the door and let them walk in.
When Li Jiu saw the gate of the morgue, he said in shock: "Is this the corpse closed? Such a thick iron gate, even the dragon can be closed."
Jianghong brought Li Jiu to the two bodies wrapped in white cloth, then lifted the white cloth and said to Li Jiu: "Come and see what the reason for these two bodies are. I heard from Mr. Zhang at the door that there were crackling knocks in the middle of the night. The back iron door at the door was made such a thick iron door to prevent this."
Li Jiu then looked at the two corpses carefully and said, "This is no different from other corpses. It's just that it's a bit miserable and a bit ugly. What's the difference?"
"But Mr. Zhang at the door said that there would be a huge noise coming from here at midnight, and it would last until dawn." Jianghong said.
Li Jiu looked at Jianghong and said, "Are you sure it was made by this corpse? What if it was something else?"
"But the movement was only found after these two corpses moved in. What do you say about this?"
"You believe in these things. Don't you know that ghosts enter a broken iron cage, and it's just like playing tricks?" Li Jiu looked at Jianghong with a fool's eyes. Jianghong thought for a while, and then said, "What should I do? You are experts in this industry. If it weren't for the school, I wouldn't know that there are people like you in the world."
Then Li Jiu snapped his fingers at Jianghong and said, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go buy something." After saying that, Li Jiu looked at the time, and then said, "It's six o'clock now, do you want to eat something?"
After hearing Li Jiu's words, Jianghong felt the hunger in her belly. Then she nodded to Li Jiu and said, "If you don't say I'm not hungry, I'm still hungry when you say I'm still hungry. Let's go, I'm always replying to the information from the students' parents today, and I'm almost exhausted."
Li Jiu nodded and then the two left the morgue and walked outside.
The two of them found a noodle shop and ate something casually. Then Li Jiu headed towards the legendary snack street.
Finally, half an hour later, the two set out on the way back to the hospital.
Jianghong looked at the big bags on Li Jiu's hand and said, "You don't plan to spend the night in the morgue, right?"
Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You answered correctly. We will really spend the night in the morgue tonight."
After hearing that Jianghong was about to spend the night in the morgue, her face suddenly couldn't hold on. She was very reluctant to let her spend the night in the morgue.
"If you don't want to go, you can go back, no one forces you to go."
Li Jiu has just come back. Although he has such a responsibility, it does not mean that Li Jiu can be ordered like a cow and a horse.
In fact, Li Jiu was a little dissatisfied just now, but after hearing Ru's run away, he heard the dead student, and felt a little guilty and said nothing.
Jianghong looked at Li Jiu who was leaving, thought for a while, but followed.
Li Jiu was holding the food in his hand, and after returning to the morgue, he started chatting with Mr. Zhang at the door.
The two were chatting while eating cold dishes, and the old and the young seemed to be particularly harmonious.
Having not satisfied with just eating vegetables and chatting, Old Man Zhang took out a game of Go from the house, then shook it at Li Jiu, and said, "Can you? Do you want to kill two of them?"
Li Jiu nodded and said, "You know a little bit. I used to participate in Go competitions in junior high school and won the first place."
Old Man Zhang smiled and said, "You young man, you have won the first place and you still say you know how to know a little bit? It is not something that good young people in the modern world should do."
Li Jiu smiled and said, "Are you old man lying to me?"
"Oh? Then tell me, why did I lie to you?" Old Man Zhang became interested, took out a black piece, then landed it on the chessboard, and said to Li Jiu with a smile.
Li Jiu then took out the white words and landed them next to Heizi, saying, "You have worked in this morgue for at least thirty years, and you have seen the cycle of life and death in the world. Rather than saying that you are playing chess, it is better to say that every step of your step represents a life pace. Do you think you are lying to me?"
"Hahahaha, I haven't seen you an interesting young man like this for a long time. I think you are not playing chess, but fate. Today I will see if I am better in my life or your life is stronger. Please."
After saying that, Old Man Zhang took out a son and landed behind Li Jiubaizi.
With Old Man Zhang's move, the storm and clouds in the sky began to surge.
Li Jiu raised his head, looked at the sky, and said, "Old man, you have to be careful. Your chess piece has alarmed the world. Be careful that it will drop thunder to let you take a step first. Then your life will be like an endgame. If you lose a few chess piece, it will be bad."
Old man Zhang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, whose life is perfect?"
