Everyone dispersed quickly. Mr. Xu arranged his own room for everyone, and I returned to my original room on the second floor.
The noodles were delivered quickly, and Mr. Xu actually cooked a lot of fried noodles for me.
The hand-rolled noodles that have just been soaked in water twice are paired with freshly fried meat sauce, cucumber shreds, radish shreds, and a few chopped garlic. The aroma is no exaggeration, and it can be said that it wafts out for two miles!
But although I said I was hungry, I actually couldn't eat at all. I just took a few bites, then put down my chopsticks and put the bowl aside.
I walked to the window and opened it. The wind in September was still a bit cool, but I didn't care at all, letting the cool breeze blow on my face.
Maybe, I think this can make me calmer and figure out things that I couldn't figure out before.
I looked out the window for a while, then boredly lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. And just when I was about to close the window and go back inside to have a good sleep, I suddenly found that there was an extra person in the yard.
A guy wearing shabby black clothes and a bamboo hat, holding a soul-calling flag in his left hand and a bamboo whistle in his right hand.
When I saw this person, I couldn't help but be shocked and secretly shouted: "Isn't this the guy I saw in my dream? How did he appear in Yiyuanzhai? How did he get in? What on earth did he want to do? ?”
I wanted to yell "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
But just when I was about to make a sound, the guy suddenly raised his hand and put his index finger to his mouth to make a silent gesture at me.
Then, he slowly raised his head. However, because the hat on this guy's head was so big, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could barely see his mouth.
I saw this guy grinning weirdly at me with his big mouth open, revealing a mouth full of charred teeth. The look was disgusting and weird.
The guy laughed for a while, and suddenly his lips began to move slowly. He seemed to be talking, but he didn't make any sound.
I was on the second floor, and the guy was in the courtyard on the first floor. Although the distance was not too far, it was not too close either. Plus, it was getting dark, so it took me a lot of effort to understand what the guy was saying. the meaning expressed.
"Sixty years ago...the debt owed by your Hu family...it's time...it's time to repay...the descendants of the Hu family...are you ready..." I followed the man's mouth and What he said came out bit by bit.
"What? The debt owed by the Hu family sixty years ago?" I said to myself in surprise. "What happened after the Eight Lower Sects collectively entered Songtao Mountain? Who is he? What kind of debt is he collecting? Whose debt is he coming to collect?"
Countless thoughts flooded into my mind in an instant, causing me to hesitate for a moment, but it was only a few seconds.
And when I came back to my senses, I suddenly found that the man in black who was standing in the middle of the yard had disappeared without knowing it.
I was shocked and screamed in my heart: "Damn it! Where is the person?"
I marveled and rushed downstairs quickly, but when I ran to where the guy was, the surroundings were already empty. There were no men in black anywhere, and there were only bursts of cold wind blowing by. .
And at this moment, the cell phone in my pants pocket suddenly rang twice.
I took out my phone and saw that it was a text message.
I looked at the number that sent the text message and I didn’t recognize it. However, the content in the text message made me take a breath of cold air. I saw five words written on the phone screen at this time, "The game begins!"
"Damn it!" I couldn't help but cursed as I looked at the words on the phone. "You want to play with me, right? Well, I will play with you to the end."
And with such an episode, my sleepiness, which was not much in the first place, suddenly disappeared.
"Since I can't sleep, I might as well just stop sleeping. Maybe I can find some new clues this night." With this thought in his mind, he no longer hesitated, and quickly ran back to his room and took the scroll. The confidential files were reviewed again.
Time passed quickly, a night without words, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.
"Dang, dang, dang", someone knocked on my door gently several times. I looked up and saw that it was Hua Muling. She was standing not far in front of me at some point.
Hua Muling looked at me and asked with a smile, "Have you been up all night?"
I nodded and found that Hua Muling's eyes were also bloodshot, so I asked, "You haven't slept all night too?"
Hua Muling also nodded and said, "Yeah! There are too many things on my mind, I can't sleep!"
After saying that, Hua Muling took two steps forward and saw the scattered documents I threw on the table, and then said, "Are there any new clues?"
I shook my head, lit a cigarette and said slowly: "No! Not at all! I still can't figure out what happened back then. Oh, by the way..."
I originally wanted to tell Hua Muling what happened last night, but for some reason, the words came to my lips but I didn't say them out in the end.
Hua Muling looked at me and asked with confusion: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
I shook my head and said, "No... nothing? I just suddenly thought of something, and then I forgot what I was going to say."
Hua Muling smiled and said, "You may be too tired."
I looked at Hua Muling and said, "By the way, why did you come to see me so early?"
Hua Muling said: "It's nothing! It was Mr. Xu who asked me to call you. He had someone arrange breakfast for us, and the equipment we need will be delivered in a while, so he asked us to go down and have breakfast."
I nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'll get up and clean up right away. I'll be here soon."
Hua Muling nodded and turned around to leave, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped, turned back and opened her mouth, as if she had something to say to me.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" I asked, looking at Hua Muling's hesitant expression.
Hua Muling smiled slightly, then shook her head and said, "No...it's nothing!"
I also smiled and said, "That's good! You go down first! I'll be right away."
Hua Muling nodded, then turned around and went downstairs.
I looked at Hua Muling's back and couldn't help but sigh to myself: "When this girl is not fierce, to be honest, she is quite pretty."
Such an idea suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but laugh, laughing at myself: "Hu Tian, Hu Tian, when in the hell did you still have the intention to plot against other girls? You are so fucking big-hearted." of!"
After cursing myself, I let out a long sigh, then got up and walked straight to the bathroom.
When I finished washing and went downstairs, breakfast had already been placed on the table. Don't tell me, there were quite a few items, such as fruit soy milk, pancakes with tofu, steamed buns, fried liver noodles...
Xiong Ming grabbed three fried dough sticks and chewed them in big mouthfuls without hesitation, while Hua Muling sipped the soy milk in small sips. It seemed that she had no appetite.
When Xiong Ming saw me coming downstairs, he greeted me loudly: "Hu Tian, come quickly! I tell you this breakfast arranged by Uncle Xu is absolutely amazing! Especially this big fruit, which was just fried and 100% covered with oil. It's fragrant and crispy, and it's authentic! There's also this fried liver, I'll go, that's called a fragrant one! I guess it's the one in Gulou...what's it called..."
I glanced at Xiong Ming and said, "Yao Ji!"
Xiong Ming had a look of realization on his face and said loudly: "That's right! It's Yao Ji's fried liver! Let me tell you, I haven't eaten from them in many years. I didn't expect that the taste has not changed at all. Uncle Xu really It’s so interesting that they arranged so many delicious food for us this morning.”
I grabbed two buns and stuffed them into my mouth, chewed them a few times, and then said, "Okay, don't sigh here. I've been thinking about eating all day long. Is there anything serious in my mind? If you have this skill, you can still do it. Let’s put it all together, what should we do next!”
Hua Muling took a sip of soy milk and said slowly: "Hu Tian is right. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. That person who made such a big noise should not just let us enter Songtao Mountain to get immortality." It's so simple."
Xiong understood the two of us and said disdainfully: "What's the use of thinking so much! In the end, don't we have to take it one step at a time? Since we are useful to him now, that is to say, the people of the older generation It’s all safe for the time being. Since they are safe, I’ll let you play whatever tricks they want to play! What’s this called? This is called…”
"This is called drinking today and getting drunk today, worrying tomorrow will bring worries tomorrow!" Xiong Ming was suddenly interrupted by someone in the middle of his words.
Hearing this voice, we all couldn't help but look at the door and found that the speaker was none other than Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu is a long-time smoker, and he usually smokes constantly. Now he took out the bag of red and black Zhonghua, took out a stick from it, lit it, took a big puff, and then continued. Said: "Little Bear's mentality is actually right! In the art of war, this is called staying the same to cope with all changes."
Seeing Mr. Xu walking in, I hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle Xu, you're back! Thank you so much for buying so many things for us so early in the morning!"
Mr. Xu came over and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Little Mr. Hu, I am old! It is no longer the time when I dominated the world, not to mention that the world now does not belong to our generation. So, All I can do is do all the logistical work for you. The vehicles, supplies, and equipment you may need are ready. When do you plan to set off?"
I glanced at my hand, and it read 7:05. I thought for a moment, and then said, "No wait, since everything is ready, the three of us will leave now."
As soon as Xiong Ming heard that I was leaving, he immediately said loudly: "I said Hu Tian, no! You, Mr. Xiong, haven't eaten enough yet! Can't you wait for me for a while?"
I glared at Xiong Ming and cursed: "Eat what you want! You know how to eat every day. Just like Hou Dayong, you are a damn starving ghost reincarnated. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Xiong Ming scolded back angrily: "Hey! You kid actually compared me with that dead monkey. I'm better than him. At least I'm not lying in the coffin!"
Xiong Ming said that his hands were not idle at all. He asked a new girl from Yiyuanzhai next to him for a plastic bag, and then put all the buns and pies on the table into it, and then he sighed. Ya said with a satisfied smile: "I'll save it for the road!"
