From afternoon to evening, when the sky was dark, I kept squatting outside the hotel, smoking a cigarette and looking at all kinds of passers-by around me.
Xiaoxuan came over and sat down next to me and said, "Yunfeng, what are you guys doing? That night, an uninvited guest appeared on the mountain. Do you remember?"
"Remember, you were talking about the person who stole the fruit? It was too dark at the time. We were dozens of meters away and we couldn't even tell whether the person was a boy or a girl."
Xiaoxuan frowned: "I didn't see it clearly, but I felt that it was a man. Do you think it was him who sent the letter to threaten us?"
I thought about it and frowned: "The letter is about us killing the old bachelor, and the man who stole the fruit broke into our tomb robbing scene. These are two different things. If it is that man, there is no need for him to take the risk in front of us." Showing up will do no harm."
After chatting for a few minutes, Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth and said, "If I knew who was blackmailing us, I would cut off his head and let him hold it in his own hands."
I put my arms around Xiaoxuan's shoulders and pulled her into my arms, and said with a smile: "Girls should be gentler. Don't always talk about murder and beheading. It's so fucking scary. Don't worry, I'm here for everything." He is also the leader."
Suddenly, my cell phone rang, and I glanced at it and quickly hung up.
"Why didn't you answer? Who is the little rich lady?"
Xiaoxuan saw the name on the caller ID. There were too many calls on my mobile phone, and I often distinguished them by nicknames for convenience, so I marked Xia Shuishui as Xiao Fu Po.
"No one, just an ordinary friend."
Unexpectedly, Xia Shuishui called again soon.
This time Xiaoxuan rushed over and pressed the answer button, signaling for me to speak.
Before I opened my mouth, the other person said, "Xiang Yunfeng, are you free tonight? Why don't you come to my house? I'm very scared."
"Hello? Hello? The signal is not good. I can't hear you clearly here. Hello?"
Xiaoxuan pinched the flesh on my waist and turned it around hard! I grimaced in pain.
Xia Shuishui obviously didn't know what was going on here, so I heard her say on the other end of the phone: "Come quickly, my dad said he wants to see you."
"Your dad wants to see me? Why is he meeting me?" I asked.
"I don't know either. I guess my dad wants to talk to you about my situation. After all, you also know that my situation is not just a day or two."
This didn't sound right, and I was afraid that it would get darker and darker, so I just said a few words and gave up.
At this time, I heard Xiaoxuan say angrily: "Hey, Brother Xiang, it seems that you have done a lot of bad things without telling me? It's so late at night, and they let you go home? You also need to meet with your parents to discuss the situation. , what’s the situation? Did you fail to take safety measures? Did you accidentally make someone’s belly bigger?”
"Nonsense! Nonsense!"
""She and I are just ordinary friends of the opposite sex. The big fish Dou Sprout caught last time was sold to her. It's not like you don't know this. "
"Now that I'm talking, I, Xiang Yunfeng, am a martial arts practitioner. I am honest and aboveboard in my work. If I say I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it. I never do one thing on the surface and hide another behind the scenes."
Xiaoxuan said disdainfully: "Tch, you can say whatever you want at any time. I can't control you anyway, and you won't listen to anything I say."
....
At around ten o'clock in the evening, I took a taxi to the door of Xia Shuishui's large villa as requested.
Xia Shuishui was waiting for me at the door. She was dressed more casually at night, wearing high-end and expensive plush pajamas, and a pair of rabbit wool slippers. She didn't even wear socks, but her face didn't look good. There is no blood color on my face, maybe because I took off my makeup, and I can still see some dark circles under my eyes.
The furniture in her home is pure Chinese retro style, but the magnificent crystal chandeliers and solid wood staircases on the roof are in European style, so her home gives people a feeling of a combination of Chinese and Western styles plus grandeur.
She lives in a room on the left side of the third floor. The cabin is not large, and things are a little messy. The furnishings look like a young lady’s boudoir. She also has a Persian cat. As soon as she enters the room, she picks up the cat. Sitting on the bed.
"Why are you looking for me so late? Why does your dad want to see me? He probably doesn't know me."
Xia Shuishui held the cat in her arms and said with a wry smile: "Ever since I was young, he knows exactly what I do every time I go out, who I meet, who I eat with, and who I make friends with."
I frowned, thinking that this would be a bit too broad. Then I would have no privacy at all in my life.
Xia Shuishui sniffed: "I suffered from depression two years ago. At that time, I always felt that living in this world was meaningless. I always thought, will people go to another world to live after they die? Maybe that world is interesting."
I smiled and said, "You have experienced too little in society. Is life interesting? You have to experience it to be qualified to say this. Have you tasted all the ups and downs in life?"
She said: "I'm one year older than you. You sound like you've experienced a lot more than me."
"You're right, I've experienced much more than you. I've been to hundreds of places, down to the Gobi Desert, up to the snow-capped mountains on the plateau. I've seen all kinds of good people and bad people. I've come out to mix in society. You were still wiping the blackboard at school at that time."
"Ah? Didn't you say you were a fish seller?"
"Selling fish is just a temporary business. I also have many other livelihoods."
"Hello? Do you have a cigarette?"
I was stunned and nodded yes.
She whispered: "My dad has gone out to do errands. It will take at least an hour before he comes back. Give me a cigarette."
I took it out and gave it to her.
"Where's the fire?"
She lit the cigarette and held it between her hands. She coughed after taking one puff.
I said if you don’t know how to smoke, don’t smoke. It’s not a good thing.
She rolled on the bed holding the cat, then quickly got up and took the pillow away for me to see.
I took a look and saw seven copper coins pressed under her pillow, and they were threaded with red thread to look like the Big Dipper.
"Look, I tried the method you told me that day, and it really worked. Although I still get into bed sometimes, the frequency is much less than before."
I said: "The Big Dipper is a basic formation in Feng Shui. Although this arrangement is not very effective, it has a certain effect in eliminating bad magnetic fields. However, I have looked at the direction of your house and there seems to be no problem."
Xia Shuishui said anxiously: "No! There must be something wrong! Let me tell you! This bungalow in our house was built by my parents when they were married. When I was a child, my old housekeeper told me that when the foundation was being laid, the ground was dug. A dead person's bones were found, and it is said that they were civilians killed when the Japanese bombed Chun'an County."
"Really? It's so evil."
"It's absolutely true! Why did I lie to you!"
Xia Shuishui looked around and said with fear in her eyes: "The man I always dreamed about wearing a cotton-padded jacket from decades ago, so I suspect that he is the soul of the man who was killed by the Japs." , my mother’s death was related to it, and now that I have grown up, it wants to harm me again.”
