"Brother Zhao, wake up!"
Tang Zhao opened his eyes and saw Wei Changle at a glance: "What's the matter? Are you here?"
Wei Changle was the young man he met in the temple. Until now, there was no reason why they still didn't know each other's names.
Wei Changle said helplessly: "Brother, you are so big-hearted. It's cold and hard. How can you sleep on the road with an uncertain future?"
Tang Zhao rubbed his eyes and sat up, vaguely remembering that he fell asleep unknowingly on the car board. Sure enough, the car board was hard. When he woke up, not only was he still extremely tired, but the bones in his back were still sore, and he said, "You don't know that I I haven't slept all night..." He came together and found that the sky was gloomy, but there was already a faint light.
A group of people were still on their way, but at some point, the torches were extinguished. Only the outlines of people could be seen in the dim light, and everyone was dark.
When I sat up, all the bones in my body ached, and my head hurt the most, with a buzzing sound.
Feeling cold all over, Tang Zhao tightened the cloak covering him.
cloak?
Or red?
"No way……"
Wei Changle said in a strange tone: "This one was given to you by that adult. He said..."
I heard someone say: "You lie down soaked in the wind and dare to fall asleep. I can bury you when I get there."
It turned out that the red cloak was not far away. At this time, he was not wearing the red cloak. He was dressed in black, almost sinking into the gloomy sky, but his eyes were very bright when he turned around.
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, sir."
He grabbed the cloak and wanted to give it back to the man, but suddenly he smelled the smell of blood. He remembered that there was a human head behind him, so the cloak must have been stained with a lot of blood. He shook his hand and almost dropped the cloak.
The man stretched out his hand on the horse, picked up his cloak, and said, "Looking at how weak you are, you must have been trying to commit suicide a lot?"
Tang Zhao replied blankly: "No, I am born... Sir, where are we going?"
The man was about to put on his cloak, but found that it was stained with a lot of mud. He threw it to the officer behind him in disgust. Wearing only the black official uniform underneath, he asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Zhao was startled, thinking how do I know. After saying this, he suddenly turned around and saw a golden edge on the horizon.
"The sunrise...the east is behind us, are we going back?"
The man praised: "Not bad. Although you are stunned, you are not stupid at all."
Tang Zhao hurriedly asked: "Do you want to go back to Xue Mansion?"
Only once did the man not answer. He said, "Just be patient." He rode forward.
Tang Zhao was helpless. He sat on the cart and looked around. He saw layers of dark woods around him and muttered: "We are still in the mountains. When can we walk on a flat road?"
The mountain road is rugged, and the donkey cart climbs slowly and bumps very hard. Later, he even doubted how he could sleep just now.
"Are you going back to Xue's house?"
As he said that, he suddenly heard a soft "click" sound under the wheel.
The team stopped.
There were people around and in front of him. Tang Zhao couldn't see anything clearly and didn't know where he was.
But the explosion just now made him feel a little bad.
That was the sound of something being crushed.
"What do you think it is? It sounds a bit like chestnut shells." He asked Wei Changle quietly.
That's what he said, but he wouldn't really think that what he ran over was a chestnut shell. Unless the chestnut grows as big as Cuju.
Wei Changle also whispered: "Listen to the sound, is it...a bug? The kind with a shell?"
Tang Zhao felt a chill in his heart when he heard someone in front of him say coldly: "Master Xing, you arrived unexpectedly at night and ran rampant along the way. We are also in a difficult position."
Just listen to the voice in the red cloak: "Uninvited guest? Your village owner invited me here, didn't he tell you?"
The man said: "I've never heard of it..."
Red Cloak said: "Then you've heard about it now, it's not too late at all. Don't you believe in this town?"
The man in front laughed dryly and said: "Of course not. I have admired the reputation of the District Inspector for a long time. But the owner of the village is not here today..."
Mr. Xing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Your village owner and I are good friends, so I can make the decision. Open the door——"
Following his order, the team moved forward again. The person in front was talking incomprehensibly, and his tone sounded unpleasant, but the convoy was filled with the sounds of people, horses, and cars. It was so noisy that his voice was covered up.
The carriage and horses gradually drove into a high wall. Tang Zhao thought in his mind that the height of this wall was no less than that of Xue Mansion, and it seemed that it was also a big house. I don’t know what’s wrong with rich people. They all build houses in the mountains. It’s dark. Isn’t it scary?
After entering the house, the team gradually separated. The large army continued to move forward, and only two men escorted their donkey cart into a small courtyard. There were several men and women dressed in black in the courtyard. One of the men showed a waist badge and said: "Guys, this place belongs to us, why don't you go out and do some activities?"
Several people looked unhappy, but they still lowered their heads and left. The gentleman said again: "We have hot soup, rice and hot water delivered to us."
Tang Zhao and Wei Changle got out of the car and were locked in a side room. The room was not big, but it seemed that someone lived there permanently. It was fully furnished and the coals in the stove were hot. Tang Zhao sat by the stove, took off his coat, and dried the cotton-padded clothes and himself separately.
The hot air entered the body, and Tang Zhaofang recovered. However, the fatigue did not subside, and hunger came back. In short, he felt uncomfortable in every way.
Wei Changle was also sitting. What was better about him than Tang Zhao was that he had not been soaked in water, so he was not so cold. He said: "Everything here is dark."
As he said, the furnishings in the room are all black, the cabinets are black, the curtains are black, the window paper is also black, and there is a black candle on the table. Being in it, it is inevitable to feel depressed.
Tang Zhao had never seen such a furnishing style before, and said: "It's really strange. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to live by sex like this?"
Just as he was talking, someone brought food and a basin of hot water from outside. The food only consisted of steamed buns, pickles and noodle soup, but the steamed buns were white, tender, and steaming hot. They looked like fine grains. Not to mention Wei Changle, even Tang Zhao swallowed and spit.
Although he was greedy, Tang Zhao still washed his hands with water first, then put the pickles on the steamed buns and stuffed them in one bite.
happy!
After eating a big steamed bun in one go and finishing up a bowl of noodle soup, Tang Zhao went to get the second one and found that Wei Changle was carefully breaking apart most of the steamed bun and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious if you eat one in one bite?" "
Is there something hidden in the buns?
There is a spy story that talks about this.
Wei Changle was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Ah, I forgot. When I eat something good, I always want to divide it into several pieces." The hand holding the steamed bun paused in the air for a moment, and finally stuffed the whole bun into his mouth Inside, chew it hard.
"I'll have it all to myself today."
Tang Zhao was silent, and after a while, he said: "I don't think this matter is very dangerous. Although he was imprisoned, he was not put into a prison, and he was handcuffed with torture tools and the like. I think there is still a chance of improvement. If there is something hidden, after this Then they can be reunited."
Wei Changle lowered his eyes and said: "Reunion... To put it bluntly, they are suffering from hunger and cold with me. If they can find a place to stay with food and clothing, what does it matter whether they are reunited or not? In fact, I have been thinking that it is really impossible to find a big family. It would be better for them to sell themselves and their brothers and sisters as slaves than to starve to death together. Just because this accident didn’t come in time, maybe they still escaped. Now that I can entrust them to kind people, in fact, I I'm relieved. It's just... I just feel sorry for him. Who deserves to be burdened with such a burden, whether it's a relative or a friend?"
Tang Zhao thought of the fat trafficker in the deserted village, shook his head and said: "Selling yourself is definitely not a way out, you will only fall into the hands of beasts. Do you know how to read?"
Wei Changle nodded.
Tang Zhao asked again: "Can you settle accounts?"
Wei Changle said: "I know a little bit."
Tang Zhao said: "Okay, when we get back, I'll hire you as a clerk and I'll definitely give you a salary."
Wei Changle said in surprise: "Whose young master are you? What kind of business is Guibao No.?"
Tang Zhao said: "I haven't decided yet."
Wei Changle was stunned, Tang Zhao said: "My business is still in the start-up stage, but in the future it will definitely be a very big... group company! Oligarch, big trust! Business is open all over the world, there are chains in every city, and employees become Tens of thousands, billions of dollars in revenue. I control the lifeblood of the economy, from people's livelihood to armaments, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything. When the time comes that there is a stone of gold in the world, I will earn eight dou from it."
Wei Changle had never eaten this kind of cake before. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes...but..."
Tang Zhaodao: "Of course this is a long-term plan, made by Mr. Chen...an elder of mine. Of course he told me that he would be the president and I would be the CEO. Later he left and left the position of president to me. Me, now I am a group boss."
Wei Changle chuckled and said, "But...but what's the use of that boss...?"
Tang Zhaodao: "Of course it is useful... but it is useless now. After all, the group has not opened yet. I said these are long-term plans, and those who do not plan for the future can only plan for the moment. Tall buildings will rise from the ground. When this disaster is over, I will I will open a small business first to accumulate some capital, probably catering."
Wei Changle breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Catering... is it a restaurant? If you open a shop, I can be a waiter for you. I can also do bookkeeping and waiter. But you have to have capital, right?"
Tang Zhao said: "There is also money..."
I heard someone laughing "poof" outside the window.
Although it was just a chuckle, I could tell it was a female voice.
Tang Zhao blushed and said to himself: Strange, I'm not bragging, why are you blushing?
"Knock knock".
The person outside the window pulled the window paper and said: "Come out, I will take you somewhere."
Wei Changle tensed up and looked at Tang Zhao, who gave him a thumbs up to reassure him.
There is a woman outside the window, and she sounds very young. Tang Zhao thought to himself that he must not be disheveled and lose his manners. He was indeed in an embarrassing situation now, even more embarrassing than Wei Changle. After all, Wei Changle didn't fall into the mud.
There was still hot water in front of him. Tang Zhao picked up the water, washed his face, and combed his hair with his hands. He lowered his head again, planning to use the water surface as a mirror to check the instrument.
His face gradually moved closer to the water, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, his facial features froze.
After a while, as if someone suddenly opened the prison, Tang Zhao jumped up like a spring, pushed the basin out with one hand, and shouted: "There is... there is a spider!"
