I looked at the time and saw that it was almost 4 o'clock. I thought it would be unrealistic to go to Beiziling today, so Mao Sandao planned to go tomorrow.
According to the route dictated by Jiao Qiu'er, Beiziling is very far away.
However, he believes that although the journey is far, it is still necessary to go there.
…………
Every time business came to his door in the middle of the night, in just a few days, Mao Sandao had become accustomed to it.
Looking at the young man standing opposite, Mao Sandao raised his unique businessman's signature smile and opened the "Visit Book".
"What do you call it?"
"Tao Ziqian. Tao Yuanming's Tao, the son of descendants, the humble Qian."
"How old are you?"
"28."
"What do I need to change?"
"love."
"Love?" Mao Sandao hesitated, "Do you want others to fall in love with you?"
"Well, yes." The man nodded, "My girlfriend ran away with someone else, and I want her to come back and fall in love with me again."
Looking carefully at the man in ordinary clothes opposite him, Mao Sandao saw that his eyes were big, round and bright.
Look at people first. Mao Sandao has heard someone say before that this kind of people have no scheming and are simple and kind-hearted.
"Why did she leave you?" Mao Sandao seemed to be interested.
The man lowered his head, looking a little melancholy: "She said I had no money, that there was no hope for me to be with me, and that I couldn't give her anything..."
This confirmed what Mao Sandao had in mind. Since the man came to the bookstore, it meant that he could not let go of the woman, which also proved that the woman had betrayed him.
Although the man was not tall and handsome, he was quite pleasing to the eye.
Judging by the tone of his speech, the man's temper should be considered mild.
Therefore, the general reason why the woman left him should be that she had no money.
"Since she has left you, it proves that she has let go of the relationship between you. Why should you persist?" Mao Sandao slowly closed the "Visit Book".
"I love her. I can't live without her at all. I tried to forget her several times, but it didn't work. You may think I'm naive. I've tried to commit suicide..."
The man touched his scarred wrist with tears in his eyes, "I don't know why she cares so much about material life. I don't have money, but I treat her wholeheartedly. Even if I have to dig out my heart, I won't." Yes; but why would she do this to me, why..."
Mao Sandao sighed, handed him a tissue, leaned back on the chair and silently lit a cigarette, and said softly:
"Everyone has the right to choose. When she left you, she just chose a life that she thought was more suitable for her. It's just that this choice hurt you invisibly.
You don't have to be like this. If you really love him, you should choose to let him go. Sometimes... letting go is also a kind of love. "
Mao Sandao did not really agree with the woman's behavior. The reason why he said this was to comfort the man on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to subtly persuade the man not to sell his soul.
Love may come back at a certain moment on a certain year, month, and day.
And the soul, once lost, is lost forever.
"No, I can't live without her!" The man wiped away his tears and his expression became extremely determined, "I must let her come back to me. I want her to feel that I am the best man for her in the world! "
"Have you... thought about it?" Mao Sandao raised his head and asked.
The man nodded heavily: "Think about it!"
"Okay." Mao Sandao put out his cigarette and slowly stood up with the soul bottle, "Then come with me."
After walking into the secret room, within a few minutes, the soul intake was completed.
The man came out of the secret room, placed the soul bottle in the prescribed position, and covered his face with guilt.
He guessed that the person in the secret room already knew everything about what he had just warned Tao Ziqian in the study room.
Correspondingly, he might... be beaten again.
But he scanned the secret room for a while and didn't see the black hands from before.
Could it be,
Didn't he hear it?
Mao Sandao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the passage.
"Has the guest's soul been collected?"
As soon as he reached the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Mao Sandao turned around in fright and couldn't help but cover his face: "Put it away... put it away. The soul bottle has been placed in the designated position."
"good."
"If that's okay, I...I'll go up." Mao Sandao said with timidity in his tone.
"Well, go up."
Boom, boom, boom!
As if worried that the man in the secret room would regret it, Mao Sandao quickened his pace and ran out of the secret room.
…………
Yalong County.
Single-family villa area.
In the bedroom on the second floor of Building 2, a man and a woman were sleeping soundly.
The man and woman hugged each other, looking very loving.
At this time, a flame suddenly appeared out of thin air in the living room on the first floor, slowly falling on the carpet on the ground like a will-o'-the-wisp.
After the black smoke cleared, sparks began to appear on the carpet.
After a while, the fire increased in intensity.
The man on the bed in the bedroom frowned suddenly, and a strong burnt smell stimulated his brain.
He suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed, snap! A flick of the light switch clicked.
Phew...! Bah...!
The light flickered twice and went out completely.
He quickly turned on the flashlight on the bedside table and saw that the bedroom was shrouded in smoke.
He quickly glanced around and saw acrid smoke seeping in through the crack at the bottom of the door.
"not good!"
The man was so shocked that he quickly walked towards the door with his bare feet on the ground.
Open the door.
More dense black smoke rushed towards him, and he subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.
Through the black smoke, he could vaguely see the light red fire burning brightly at the top of the stairs.
And the fire was heading towards the bedroom.
Bang!
The man quickly closed the door, unable to analyze the specific cause of the fire.
He quickly walked to the balcony, glanced down, then returned to the bed and pushed the sleeping woman with her head covered:
"Zhang Ying, wake up! Wake up!"
The woman was shaken suddenly and violently, and she opened the quilt in a daze.
"Pingyang, what...what's wrong? You're in a panic, cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as the woman rubbed her sleepy eyes, she was choked by the smoke.
"on fire!!!"
The woman suddenly woke up and found that the room was filled with smoke.
The man ignored the woman and pulled her out of bed.
He threw the quilt to the ground, pulled off the sheet, grabbed a corner with one hand, and started tearing hard with the other hand.
The man knew that in this situation, the only way to survive was to form a rope with sheets and slide to the first floor.
Hiss...!
The bed sheets were torn apart.
Hiss...! Hiss...!
He repeated the action and tore the entire sheet into multiple strips.
The woman's face was pale and she was holding on to the man's pajamas in fear.
In critical moments, women place all their hopes on men.
The man pushed the woman away: "Get out of the way and stay out of the way!"
The sheets were all connected, and the man shouted loudly: "Push the bed, quickly!"
Seeing that the temperature in the bedroom was getting higher and higher, the man knew that the fire was about to reach the bedroom, so he pushed the woman to the other side of the bed.
Because of the excessive force, the woman's leg hit the corner of the bed and she tripped to the ground.
The man didn't feel any distress at all, he glared and said, "You really can't do anything!"
The man walked around to the woman's side, put his hands on the edge of the bed, and pushed the bed to the balcony.
One end of the spliced sheets was tied to the bed legs, and the other end was thrown out of the balcony.
He pulled back and made sure it was secure, then grabbed the sheets and climbed onto the balcony.
"Ge Pingyang! You...!"
The paleness on the woman's face worsened, and she got up from the ground and chased after her regardless of the pain in her legs!
