"Long time no see, old gentleman. I wonder what the old gentleman meant just now?"
I bowed my hand to him and said hello politely.
As for what he said, I don't understand a bit. The evil master behind the Lin family, according to Coffin Yang, is slightly weaker than me. Now that I have the blessing of a magic weapon, I am already far behind that person.
But the old gentleman’s words seemed to have a deeper meaning!
Is it possible that there is a hidden secret in this that even Coffin Yang doesn't know about?
The old man walked two meters away from us, stopped, and said, "The Lin family's affairs are extremely complicated. I don't know what your master is thinking about letting you go into this muddy water. If you take one careless step, there will be consequences." Great danger.”
I had already expected that he knew my master, but the old gentleman’s words made me more and more confused.
But before I could ask any questions, Lin Xueling on the side was not happy.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with my Lin family? What do you mean by wading in troubled waters?"
Only then did I think that what the old man said about the Lin family just now seemed as if the Lin family was a scourge, and wasn't Lin Xueling the Lin family?
If other people said that about my family, I would definitely not want to hear it.
The old gentleman stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "This little friend, is the Lin family I'm talking about related to you?"
Lin Xueling said dissatisfied: "Aren't you talking nonsense? It has nothing to do with me. Who does it have to do with?"
"No, no, no, I'm talking about your current Lin family, not your Lin family."
The old man raised his finger and wiggled it twice.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Xuelin was stunned for a moment. She also realized that the Lin family mentioned in the old man's words was not the same one.
I was even more confused on the sidelines.
His words are indeed a bit mysterious. If it’s not Lin Xueling’s current Lin family, which Lin family could it be?
Is it possible...
I looked at Lin Xueling and looked at her carefully.
I remember before leaving, Coffin Yang told me that if we seize the opportunity, we can live with less struggle for many years. In other words, Lin Xueling's family can be a help.
Only now did I realize that the Lin family that Coffin Yang was talking about might not be the current Lin family at all, but another Lin family!
"Why do you look at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Lin Xueling looked at me doubtfully.
I quickly looked away and coughed: "It's okay, Mr. Lin, my master told me about the Lin family's affairs, but my master said that I can solve the Lin family's problems myself. Why did the old man say that the Lin family is a pool of muddy water?" ?”
The old gentleman did not speak, but turned and walked towards the alley.
I watched his figure gradually enter the darkness.
Lin Xueling and I looked at each other and chased after each other in a tacit understanding. We must figure this out today, otherwise we will have insomnia most of the night.
But when we chased into the alley, we didn't see the old gentleman.
"It's weird. As soon as he came in, we were right behind him. Why did the old gentleman disappear?"
I turned on the flashlight of my cell phone, looked at the empty alley, and murmured in a low voice.
Lin Xueling beside her nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and analyzed seriously: "It's really strange. Could it be that that old gentleman is not a human being?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The old gentleman reminded us before that Ze might not be a human being."
I hurriedly interrupted the topic.
To be honest, how could I not doubt whether the old gentleman was a human, a demon or a ghost at this moment?
But regardless of ghosts or monsters, as long as they have not become immortals, their minds are actually very small. If Lin Xueling says something wrong and is resented, it will be a troublesome thing.
Rather than causing such an unprovoked disaster, it is better to keep your mouth shut and not speak out no matter what you think in your heart.
"Yeah too!"
Lin Xueling also reacted instantly and hurriedly shouted haha.
"Stop standing here, you have to go to Liu Mo's house tomorrow."
After riding in the car all afternoon, I felt a little sleepy and rubbed my sore eyes.
"oh!"
The two of us continued to walk back. Our location was not far from the hotel. It only took a few minutes for us to enter the hotel again.
When I came to the front desk, the young man saw me coming and was very confused: "Brother, what else can I do?"
"Obtaining a room."
I said calmly.
"What? Open another one?"
This young man seemed to have heard something and stared at me in disbelief.
He glanced at Lin Xueling, and then seemed to understand something.
"Hey! I'm so sorry, the hotel rooms are all full, there really is no room."
The corner of my mouth couldn't help but twitch, but I also admired his professionalism.
It’s just that I feel something is wrong... I remember in the TV series, weren’t the people who came to the front desk and asked for two rooms all girls?
When it comes to me, why is it the other way around?
"are you done?"
Lin Xueling's urging came from behind.
"Drive quickly or I'll beat you up."
I clenched my fists and threatened.
The young man glanced at Lin Xueling again, clasping his hands like me, begging for mercy: "Brother! I really have no room here. Really, you have to believe me."
I see how pitiful he is, is there really no room left?
I can't sleep in the corridor if I don't have a room, right?
"Come and have two rooms."
At this moment, a man and a woman walked into the hotel.
Men are in their mid-twenties, and so are women.
"this..."
The young man pretended to hesitate.
The woman frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
At this time, I caught a glimpse of the man secretly taking out a few banknotes and signaling to the young man.
"I'm so sorry, beauty. There's only one room left. Sister, I won't hide it from you. Recently, there have been so many tourists in our county..."
The young man said the same words again.
"Ouch! Well, then, let's open one!"
The woman lowered her head shyly.
"Alas! I took a look just now. There are no hotels nearby, so I can only stay here for one night."
"Boy, please keep this room card."
The young man handed over the room card with a smile. When the man took the card, he handed over the banknotes quietly.
The two of them walked towards the stairs, leaning on each other.
But at this moment, my eyes fell on that man's shoes.
It was a pair of black shoes with a lotus embroidered with yellow thread, and there was a special symbol next to the lotus on the upper.
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are almost falling out."
Lin Xueling gave me a hand, and she was not hiding anything in her words.
But then, Lin Xueling was stunned. After the man and woman went upstairs, she pulled my clothes and asked tremblingly: "Little, little liar, do you think that man's shoes look like longevity shoes?"
I said with absolute certainty: "If it's not a statue, it's a longevity shoe."
Just now, under my careful observation, I discovered that not only the uppers of the men's shoes were embroidered with lotus flowers, but also the soles of the shoes were embroidered with a small lotus flower. As for the special symbol, it was the longevity character.
Moreover, among the people, there is a saying that one can climb to the west by stepping on the lotus, so lotus is the most common pattern on longevity shoes.
In a good way, they are called longevity shoes, but in a bad way, they are called death shoes.
How could a living person wear these unlucky shoes of the dead?
"Let's go, follow up and kill this evil spirit."
After the words fell, I followed Lin Xueling first without waiting for her reaction.
"Hey! Just wait for me."
Lin Xueling hurriedly followed behind me.
