Uncle Li....
I don't have a good impression of the housekeeper. I always feel that he is not a good person. Now that I have experienced so much, I am even more sure of this feeling.
I asked Xiaoxuan: "How is your relationship with the class teacher named Li Ziang? Can he agree to help?"
Xiaoxuan seemed to be remembering the past, with an unnatural expression on her face.
"I had a fight with a teacher before because I put on makeup at school. After I returned home, I asked my dad to send someone to beat him. Although I didn't do it, our relationship has never been very good, and I don't know if he still remembers me," he said. Finally, Xiaoxuan lowered her head and her voice became smaller and smaller.
I said, how about you give it a try? If you remember the phone number, make a call now and give it a try. The stuff at the newsstand is very important to us.
"Fighting now? It's only after five o'clock. People may not have gotten up yet."
I said without further ado, give it a try, maybe it’s already up.
Xiaoxuan pressed her cell phone for a few minutes, recalling the phone number, and hesitated for a while before she finally mustered up the courage to press the dial button.
After failing to get through the first time, Xiaoxuan confirmed the phone number and added 00852 in front of the number.
00852 was adding a mobile phone number, and after waiting for a moment, a strange man's voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Hello."
"Thunder Monkey? Who is it?"
Xiaoxuan didn't know whether she was afraid of strangers or why she didn't speak. I pointed at the screen of my phone and motioned for her to reply quickly.
Xiaoxuan picked up the phone and put it to her ear, and finally plucked up the courage to speak.
I don’t quite understand. I guess it means, Hello, teacher, I am your former student Zhao Xuanxuan. I’m sorry to bother you so early.
The other party was silent for a moment, as if he was reminiscing, and then his tone suddenly increased and he started chattering a lot.
This long-distance call lasted nearly twenty minutes before hanging up.
I said to Xiaoxuan, why are you so good at Mandarin? Why do you, a teacher, speak like this?
Xiaoxuan said that half of her father's fishing company, including shareholders, are mainlanders. She learned Mandarin at a young age and can speak it naturally.
I asked her again, "How is it? Has this teacher Li Ziang agreed?"
Xiaoxuan nodded and said, "He has class in the morning and doesn't have time to go there, but he promised to go to the newsstand in the afternoon or evening to help ask."
I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
The two places are thousands of kilometers apart. At the moment, I can only think silently in my heart, hoping that the things are still at the newsstand. If they are not, I really don’t know what to do.
.......
After not sleeping all night, I would feel sleepy in the morning. I would lean back in my chair and close my eyes to rest. A large number of fragments kept flashing through my mind like a slide show.
Mustard Hou, Changchun Hui, Baotou, Sister Hong, Yao Yumen, Golden Wind Yellow, Aza, Miaoyiniao, Jiuqingshui, Weeping Buddha, Old Scholar, Blue Potion...
"What are you thinking about, Fengzi?" I suddenly heard Dou Sprout calling me.
When I opened my eyes, there was nothing around me.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing there?" I looked up and saw Yu Wenbin standing on the top of the air raid shelter, looking around from time to time.
He jumped down the steps.
"We came back late last night and did you hear a sound."
"Sound? What sound," I said. I didn't hear any sound. There were only a few of us living in the air-raid shelter.
Brother Yu rubbed his temples, "Maybe I was too nervous. I seemed to hear a drum-like sound, just like the rattles used by children."
"Rattle?"
I thought about it and said, Brother Yu, you may have heard it wrong.
He nodded and asked again: "Don't talk about it, you seem to know whose hand it was that was severed before."
I told Brother Yu that the man's name was Chen Jiansheng, a person I met a year ago who had collaborated with others to frame me, and we had a feud.
"They're pretty awesome. These people cut off their hands and sent them over. I don't know if they are taking the initiative to show their kindness or if they want to scare you."
The two of us were chatting when Lao Wen came over carrying a big plastic bag.
"Boss, I brought you roast duck in the Yingbin Pavilion, and we're going to have a drink on the rooftop tonight."
I forced a smile and couldn't talk about the old article, and I was not in the mood right now.
Lao Wen is an optimist by nature, and sometimes he talks like a philosopher.
He smiled and said: "I know you are busy, but as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is a village with bright trees and bright flowers. I didn't come to you for a drink for no reason. You haven't watched the TV news, have you?"
I asked Lao Wen what news was on TV.
"Meteor shower!" Lao Wen said loudly: "Two days ago, the TV and newspapers said that our Ningxia has always been known as the hometown of stars. The TV station said that there will be a meteor shower after 11 o'clock tonight, saying that the Aquarid meteor shower is worse than in previous years. It was two months late, and the volume this time was huge. According to expert predictions, it will happen once in fifty years!"
I know that Ningxia is the city of stars, but now I am not interested in watching the meteor shower.
Lao Wen said seriously: "I can't believe it. There was a meteor shower in October last year. That wish is true. I made a wish last year that I would meet a noble person in the coming year. This year you have come to me, Wen Shupu. Boss, you are mine." Noble man, you are in my life."
I got goosebumps after listening to Lao Wen's disgusting words. What does it mean to have me in your life, and what kind of noble person I am? He must be wrong. I, a noble person, can't bring him any good luck. It is possible to take him to jail.
Waiting until evening, Xiaoxuan came to tell me that there was news.
I asked nervously: "How is it? Have you heard about it? Are the things I deposited still there?"
Xiaoxuan shook her head and said: "He went looking for it in the afternoon. He said that all the newsstands in the Western District were moved half a year ago because the government wanted to green the roads. I don't know where the newsstand you mentioned has been moved yet, but Teacher He said he would continue to help find it, Yunfeng, what is it, it is so important to you."
I felt nervous, afraid of what might happen.
I tried not to panic.
"You are asking the other party to hurry up and find out. No matter what, you must find where the newsstand has been moved."
Xiaoxuan agreed and said that I would try my best. He and I were not very familiar with each other, so I couldn’t guarantee whether he would like him or not.
When things got to this point, I felt a little panicked.
Those people told me to give me three days, not to mention the stored blue potion. What if the time is up and I still haven’t found the newsstand? Will they believe what I say? Do you think I'm lying?
If things develop like this in the end...
What to do with the bean sprouts?
How should I save my brother!
...
Late at night, I was pushed up to the roof by Lao Wen. Everyone was there except Lao Ge, who didn't know where he was. They were all called up by Lao Wen.
I, Xiaoxuan, Brother Yu, Brother Zhiyuan, and sister-in-law Xiaoxia, three men and two women, a total of five people sat on the roof with straw mats.
Lao Wen bought Yingbinlou roast duck, flatbread, and old vinegar peanuts. Sister-in-law Xiaoxia rubbed a plate of shredded white radish for cold salad and poured some vinegar and sesame oil.
I couldn't sleep, so I watched the TV show about the meteor shower that was going to happen at 11:15.
Xiaoxuan is as unhappy and worried as I am, and I know she must be worried about Dou Sprouts too.
Lao Wen rolled the roast duck in a big pancake in one hand and half a green onion in the other. After taking a bite, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of white wine, making a satisfied sound from his mouth.
I guess.
Brother Zhiyuan was thinking about how to kill Jin Fenghuang to avenge Gangzi, and how to return to power.
Sister-in-law Xiaoxia was thinking about how to get her husband to calm down and stay with her safely until the child was born. No matter whether the child was a boy or a girl, she didn't want to be frightened.
Brother Yu thought in his mind that he would open his own martial arts gym, fight against all the invincible fighters in the world, and let the theater leader hold his thigh and cry.
As for Xiaoxuan and I, we should have similar thoughts.
I'm afraid, except for Lao Wen who was enjoying himself with a sip of wine, everyone here had their own thoughts.
"Idiot!"
"Look!"
Lao Wen swallowed what was in his mouth, looked at the sky and shouted: "It's coming! Look! The Aquariid meteor shower is coming!"
I looked up at the night sky in Yinchuan.
Golden lines streak across the night sky, some are long or short, more and more, more and more dense, all dragging little pale golden tails to compete with each other.
The news forecast was right on time, it was starting to rain a meteor shower.
Lao Wen threw away the unfinished roast duck, slapped me and shouted, "Quick! Boss, make a wish! Your dream will come true in the coming year!"
The meteor shower was very heavy this year, lighting up almost half of the night sky. From a high place, we could see Spider Alley clearly. It was very spectacular.
Lao Wen has already started to make wishes.
I was thinking about what to make a wish when I suddenly heard Brother Yu say in a deep voice: "No! It's dangerous!"
Before I could ask, Brother Yu suddenly jumped directly from the roof of the cave! More than three meters high! He jumped down, picked up the stick and ran away!
It scared me.
Brother Yu was running very fast while holding his stick. The meteor shower was still falling. Taking advantage of the bright light, I saw a car parked in an alley not far from us.
The car lights were off and everything was pitch black.
It's the Hutou Ben that followed us before!
"There's a situation! Lao Wen, please take Xiaoxuan and sister-in-law to find a place to hide!"
I left a message and hurriedly called Brother Zhiyuan to follow him.
It's not far away, just a few minutes of running.
Brother Yu didn't say anything, and with a snap, he smashed the windshield in front of Hutouben with a stick.
There was no one in the car, I only saw a small intercom on the car seat.
Brother Yu looked around nervously.
Less than two hundred meters away from Hutou Ben, we found a man leaning against a brick wall.
The man had medium-length hair and a thin build. His face was covered in blood when we found him.
It was the young man who opened the door for me at the Guangming Hall last night!
Brother Yu knelt down and sniffed his breath.
Out of breath, the person is dead.
"Actually, I noticed it yesterday," Brother Yu frowned and said, "Look at his hands, this man is a practicing master." After that, he grabbed the man's arm.
As he raised his arm, a mobile phone suddenly fell out of the man's arms.
The screen of the phone was on and it stopped on the text message page, with two words left on it.
"Run quickly."
At this time, the Aquariid meteor shower is coming to an end, and the remaining faint light illuminates Spider Alley.
Brother Yu looked nervous. He suddenly stood up, looked to the southwest, waved his hands and said, "Listen carefully, do you hear it?"
I moved my ears back and forth, and this time I heard it very clearly.
"Bang bang bang."
"Bang bang bang."
It’s the sound of a child’s rattle.
Who's shaking the rattle?
