Chapter 31 The turning point of a hit is a sugar rain
No wonder I'm excited. It's just like a test. You originally thought you were performing abnormally and had no hope, but when the teacher handed out the test papers, you unexpectedly heard a good score.
I saw that house among the residential buildings. It was so inconspicuous among the residential buildings, but now it became the most beautiful scenery in my eyes. As long as the house is still there, I can always find clues.
Isn't it?
I walked quickly towards the residential building without saying anything. Qinhuai didn't understand what was going on, so she could only follow quickly, asking at the same time: "I said Chengyi, did you see that beautiful woman just now?
"
I was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Qinhuai at this time, and said: "I saw the place where Master and I have been. I thought it was gone!"
Qinhuai's expression became serious as he said, "Then let's go quickly."
Standing in front of the familiar small building, I once remembered that Master knocked on the door with a special rhythm. But now, no matter how good my memory is, I have forgotten what this special rhythm should be, so I can only say 'dong dong dong dong'.
There was a lot of banging, and not only did no one come to open the door, but it also caused people in the surrounding buildings to curse.
But I didn't care so much anymore, and shouted directly to the small building: "Open the door. A few years ago, my master came here to buy something. It was silver. Open the door."
After shouting, I knocked on the door anxiously. Qinhuai pulled me and said, "Why don't you come during the day? I'm afraid tomatoes and rotten eggs will be thrown down from the upstairs nearby."
I stopped knocking a little decadently. If I wasn't afraid of offending the owner, I really wanted to break in. I said to Qinhuai: "Why don't you go back first, I will wait here, they will always
Going out."
After saying that, I squatted at the door of this small building. As long as it was about Master, it was really difficult for me to calm down.
Qinhuai sighed, squatted next to me, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to me, and said: "Come on, I'm unlucky, how come I know you? I'm with you.
Bar."
I didn't delay. In the still cool night, Qinhuai and I squatted at the door of the small building with a cigarette in our mouths.
I thought we would wait until dawn, or I don’t know when. After all, the father and daughter in this small building are so special. You said it is normal for them not to go out for ten days and a half.
But maybe I am lucky tonight, and there will always be a miracle in another village. Qinhuai and I squatted downstairs for less than two minutes, and suddenly there was a "squeak" sound of the door opening behind us.
The building still has an old wooden door, and the sound is particularly obvious.
Qinhuai and I stood up almost at the same time, then turned around and were stunned at the same time - why is it her? The beautiful woman with the weird smile just now?
Qinhuai and I were in a daze, but her attention was not on us at all. Her eyes felt very wandering, and she said absently: "Come in, anyone who has come here to buy things will naturally know where Master Liu is."
After saying that, she left, looking very hurried. What was particularly weird was that she nodded occasionally as she walked, and laughed from time to time.
After the woman turned around and left, Qinhuai looked at me speechlessly and said, "It's a pity that any beautiful woman who has a relationship with you is not a normal woman, including Ruyue, I, who are all covered with bugs and snakes.
, I don’t even know how she passed the security check on the plane.”
Obviously Qinhuai finally discovered that something was wrong with this woman. I said helplessly: "Does this have anything to do with me? In addition, I am also curious about how Ruyue passed the security check. I will ask her next time."
After saying that, I walked into the house. The house was still as dim as it was many years ago. The difference was that they finally understood the progress of the times and were willing to use electric lights. However, the wattage of the electric lights was very low, not as good as oil lamps.
Woolen cloth.
The lights were dim, the room was dark, and there was some cold air in the room. As soon as Qinhuai came in, he muttered in a low voice that he couldn't stand it. He didn't understand and thought a ghost movie was being filmed here, but I went straight in.
Floor, the memory of that time is still very clear. I know that the old man is in the room at the end of the corridor. I am very happy that he is still alive in the world, but in fact he is only 59 years old. It is normal to live in the world.
.
Maybe he didn't borrow his life anymore, but that's not necessarily the case?
I went up to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and walked straight to the innermost room. But when I passed by the room next to me, I clearly heard a faint groan, as if I was in pain.
Before I could figure it out, the absent-minded beauty suddenly jumped out from behind, holding two large quilts, and rushed into the room. I didn't see anything clearly.
Qinhuai was so frightened that his hair stood on end and shouted: "People here don't make any noise when they walk?"
I remembered that this old man who sold charms had a daughter. Could it be that the moan just now was from his daughter? But after all, I was undoubtedly snooping into other people's privacy, so I walked to the innermost room and pushed open the half-hidden door.
Door.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that the furnishings of this room had not changed after so many years. There were large shelves filled with various miscellaneous items, and a large and somewhat disproportionate table. The only difference was that I sat behind the table.
That old man.
In the past, he was just thin and old, but now he feels that his whole body has shrunk and turned into a rickety figure, sitting in a small ball on a large wooden chair that does not match his body shape.
"Come and sit here and ask your friend to wait below. I don't smell the smell of an insider in him." The old man spoke, but his voice didn't change at all. It was the same as before, like blowing bellows.
Hoarse and unpleasant.
As soon as he spoke, Qinhuai was startled, and then realized that the old man was rushing out. He muttered in a low voice: "It's not like he's a celebrity, so he's not a celebrity." But he
Knowing that I cared about this matter, even though I muttered, I turned around and went down.
I walked over and sat in front of the old man. I was about to say something, but the old man spoke himself: "I remember you, his apprentice who came with Lao Jiang a few years ago. Life is simple now."
, I remember this person very clearly.”
He still remembered me, which was another unexpected gain. It saved me the need to explain the whole story, so I said, "I'm here this time for..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened my mouth, the old man coughed weakly twice, interrupted me, and then gasped and asked me: "You know the rules, right? It's your first time here, I want to see you first."
Is there anything I can exchange for you?"
This was quite embarrassing for me. Apart from money, I asked myself that I had nothing to exchange with him, and I was not here for business. So far, I could only say directly: "I am not here for business this time.
I'm here to ask you for some news."
I was afraid that he would interrupt me as soon as he heard my purpose, so I continued hurriedly: "Since you know my master and are both descendants of Shanzi Mei, I am here to ask you for news about Kunlun, or
Get some clues about my master, my master"
"Huh?" His expression didn't change much, he just gave a faint hum.
"My master disappeared five years ago. Also missing were my uncles, Master Huijue, and some other people. I thought," I don't need to say the next words, because when it comes to this
For my sake, my purpose of coming is already very clear.
The old man was silent, and his expression did not change. The only detail that changed was that he kept tapping the table with his fingers, which was like tapping on my heart, making my heart pick up in my throat.
After about a minute like this, the old man's expression became a little dazed. I suddenly felt that something was wrong, but what he said made my heart drop to the bottom. He said: "Your master and the others are missing.
What's the point of asking me? Why is Kunlun not Kunlun? There is information in the library now, don't you know how to check it yourself?"
My expression suddenly became decadent. Did he really not know?
As a result, the old man continued to speak: "As for you, if you want to do business, you can come to me. After all, your master is my old customer, and there are not many talisman makers in the world. If you want to inquire about anything else, just come back.
, I have stayed in this dark house for so many years, what can I know?"
I sat on the chair, a little reluctant to get up, but the old man no longer paid attention to me, but grabbed an ancient line book on the table and started reading. I noticed that there was a window behind him, which was just enough to read.
When I got downstairs, I thought that if he hadn't heard the shouting and recognized me through the window, I probably wouldn't have even been qualified to go upstairs.
Sighing silently in my heart, I stood up and said goodbye. The old man snorted, indicating that he understood.
