"Okay, okay, haven't we arranged an assistant for you? Where is that little boy Wang Jie?"
Li Dabao got up and went to the counter to get tea-making tools, and then returned to us.
Very skillfully, he began to make tea for everyone, and at the same time gave instructions to Qi Dachuan.
"Dachuan, I'm not telling you, you can't spoil Wang Jie, that little brat. When I followed old Biden, he made me do a lot of dirty work...!"
"Come for tea..."
Qi Dachuan sat next to me, smiled, picked up the tea and gestured to me.
Then he said: "Okay, little fat man, your master's spiritual tablet is still on display in the back hall. Is it appropriate for you to say that about him?"
Li Dabao said disdainfully: "What's appropriate or inappropriate? When old Bideng was alive, I said the same thing. He just led me into a fight, but he gave up first. Do you think it was stupid?" "
With that said, Li Dabao put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Okay, I'm going to scold Old Bideng, and I'll be like Old Bideng so he can protect us..."
After watching Li Dabao enter the inner hall, Qi Dachuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "When I first met Xiaopang, I thought he was just a bastard and very narrow-minded."
"But, in fact, if you keep in contact with him for a long time in the future, you will find that he is actually very soft on the inside, but he is never willing to express it!"
Just as I was talking, I heard Li Dabao scolding in the inner hall.
The curse was quite unpleasant, but there was a suppressed tremor in his voice.
Qi Dachuan laughed: "Look, what did you just say?"
"Okay, ignore him, let's talk about our...!"
I laughed and said haha, so Qi Dachuan started chatting sentence by sentence.
Leng Yue symbolically answered several questions from Qi Dachuan.
The rest of the time, I just sat there alone in a daze.
Li Dabao stayed in the background for a whole afternoon, and finally heard Li Dabao's loud snoring.
Qi Dachuan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. I'll call Xiaopang. Let's get together in the evening. It can be considered a practice for you."
In the evening we had mutton-shabu-shabu at Dongsi. Li Dabao didn't have the slightest image of him. He finished more than 20 plates of mutton rolls by himself.
While eating, I complained that the taste here seemed not as good as before.
He also said that when he and Old Bideng went out to eat hotpot mutton for the first time, they didn’t even mention the smell.
Also because of drinking, Li Dabao's eye circles turned red again as he spoke.
But he still cursed and said: "Dachuan, you said that damn old Biden will die sooner or later. Why does he have to die now at this juncture?"
"Damn it, I haven't even begun to enjoy the customs and customs of Sijiu City. Such a big burden fell on me all at once. Why, I deserve to die, right?"
"Also, that old Bideng died. His mother-in-law didn't tell me his bank card password before she died. Later, I secretly found someone to check the property in his name."
"guess what?"
Li Dabao made a very exaggerated gesture and started to draw.
"One card and two passbooks, the total amount is less than 20,000 yuan. You said this boss has let him pawn for so many years..."
"..."
At the end of the story, Li Dabao lay directly on the table and fell asleep, even talking in his sleep cursing his master who I had never met before.
According to Qi Dachuan, Li Dabao's master was considered a semi-finished captain when he was young. Later, after a desert expedition, he was recruited by their boss.
He has never had any children in his life. When he met Li Dabao, he regarded Li Dabao as his own son.
It’s just that the world is full of tricks, who would have thought that something like this would happen?
At night, I drove back to the shop.
Although the shop looks small from the outside, it is unique inside.
Behind the store is the inner hall, and through the inner hall is a corridor of more than two meters. After exiting the corridor, there is a small courtyard with an area of 80 to 90 square meters.
Qi Dachuan usually makes it convenient for his buddy named Wang Jie to live there.
At this time, his clerk went back to his hometown to visit relatives, so the room was given to Li Dabao.
Leng Yue lived directly opposite Li Dabao, and went back to the room without saying a word when she came back.
After I threw Li Dabao on the bed, I wanted to go back to rest. When I went out, I saw Qi Dachuan sitting in the yard, seemingly waiting for me.
I closed the door and asked, "Brother Qi, aren't you still asleep?"
Qi Dachuan looked at me and smiled: "I'm not sleepy yet, how about you?"
"If you're not sleepy, can we go into the inner hall and have a chat?"
I nodded and pushed Qi Dachuan into the inner hall.
There are two rooms in the inner hall. One room is like a living room, with statues of gods and a spiritual tablet placed on it.
There is a small room next to it, with no door and a screen blocking it.
After I pushed Qi Dachuan in, he held the wheelchair with both hands and sat on the tatami-decorated bed.
There is a small square table placed on it. There is a gap on the table. It should be a special place for receiving guests.
The whole decoration is antique and looks unique.
After Qi Dachuan sat down, he also lit a stick of incense.
The smell smells very good, and it feels like entering a Taoist temple.
Qi Dachuan explained while making tea: "This is an ancient incense made by mixing nine kinds of flowers with Chinese herbal medicine. It can refresh the mind and has obvious effects on people after drinking. Of course, in addition to these, there are Other incense sticks have different functions.”
Looking at Qi Dachuan talking eloquently in front of me, I can actually feel an aura of loneliness in him.
I asked softly: "Brother Qi, do you regret it?"
Qi Dachuan kept moving his hands and said lightly: "What do you regret?"
"When you get involved in this industry, you should have the awareness that it's no big deal."
"I'm quite lucky. You've never seen those strange ways of death in ancient tombs. I don't regret it much, just a little bit of unwillingness!"
"oh?"
I took a sip of the tea brewed by Qi Dachuan. It was very bitter, but the moment I swallowed it, my whole mouth felt fragrant.
Qi Dachuan looked at me and said, "This is Sichuan tea from our place. The boss specially asked someone to get it from there."
I checked and didn't ask Qi Dachuan about his boss, because I asked Li Dabao in the car, but the latter didn't seem to want to say anything.
So even though I was a little curious about who the boss they were talking about was, in order to avoid making things difficult for the other party, I then said: "Brother Qi, what did you mean when you said you were unwilling?"
Qi Dachuan put down the teacup in his hand, took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to me, and then lit it for himself and started smoking.
As the smoke filled the air, Qi Dachuan's tone sounded slightly tired.
The latter sighed and said: "Of course I am unwilling to find a good treasure. At the same time, there are still many things that I haven't had time to do."
"I promised Miss Leng, but it's a pity that he may be the only one to do some things in the future...!"
When Qi Dachuan mentioned Leng Yue, I saw something strange in Qi Dachuan's eyes.
I don't know what the relationship between men and women is like, but at that moment when I saw Qi Dachuan's eyes, I seemed to think that maybe it was love.
So when I asked Qi Dachuan what happened to Lengyue.
Qi Dachuan asked me if I knew what kind of person Leng Yue was and what I thought of Leng Yue.
I was stunned when Qi Dachuan asked!
I thought, what the hell can I say?
I have only been in contact with Leng Yue for a few days. Besides, even if I think about something, I can't say it directly.
It's obvious that the relationship between the two of them is very good, I still have this bit of discernment!
Then I smiled and gave an answer that I thought was very satisfying.
I said, "To be honest, I don't understand Miss Leng or Brother Qi at all."
"I just feel that she is different from most people. She is very mysterious. She has a deeper level. You have been in contact with her more, so you will naturally know it better than me!"
After hearing my answer, Qi Dachuan chuckled and said: "Little Fifth Master, it's just the two of us now, are you still talking to me about face?"
I was stunned for a moment and was about to explain.
Qi Dachuan raised his hand and said, "However, there is something you said that I quite agree with."
"What words?"
"Xiaoyue is indeed a mysterious woman...!"
