When Xu Shi walked out of the hotel, Taxi was already waiting.
After getting in the car, Tassie said: "This house belongs to a relative of my family. They live on the ranch all year round and don't come back often. This house has been basically empty since I bought it, and the decoration is still very new. It just so happens that they I’m changing pastures this year and it’s far away from here, so I want to rent out this house. I asked about the price, one thousand and two months, two bedrooms and two living rooms. Do you think it’s acceptable?” Taxi said, while starting from Secretly observing Xu Shi's reaction in the rearview mirror, he saw that he had a calm expression and seemed not very interested, and couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy on his face.
"Price is not an issue, let's go see the house first." Xu Shi replied.
When Taxi heard this, the anxiety on her face suddenly disappeared, and she said happily: "The house is very good, and it is very close to the entertainment city. It is only one street away, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk."
When Xu Shi heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly. Being close to the entertainment city is not a good thing for him.
However, he doesn't plan to do anything now, and it won't have much impact if it's near or far. Moreover, renting a house in a remote place like A County is not an easy task, especially for outsiders like Xu Shi.
Within a few minutes, the car arrived at the Tuohe Community where Taxi's relatives' house is located. The community is quite new, and it is estimated that it will be delivered no more than five years ago. A row of 6-story foreign-style buildings is quite pleasing to the eye in A County, which is a bit old everywhere.
The house is on the second floor. From the perspective of the house itself, it is indeed a very good house. The decoration inside is also very new. At first glance, it looks like it has been decorated but has not been lived in much. And the house was very clean, probably Tassie had cleaned it in advance.
Xu Shi only took a few glances and made up his mind.
Taxi was very happy and said with a grin: "My home is also here. I can come to pick you up for work every day."
Xu Shi glanced at him. This guy had been surprisingly diligent recently. Before, he used the third child to scare the monkeys, which indeed scared the people in the bar, but it also made those people very afraid of him. Normally, they would not approach him when it was not important, and they even didn't even talk very well. Anyone who dared to look at him was afraid that if he accidentally made him unhappy, he would break his arms and legs. The only exception was Taxi.
When this kid faced him, he was not like other people. Although he was also afraid, it could be seen that his respect was greater than his fear. Recently, there is a strong sense of flattery in his words and deeds.
Xu Shi thought for a while, stopped Taxi who was walking out, and asked, "Do you want to follow me?"
Taxi was stunned for a moment. After realizing what Xu Shi was asking, he thought about it seriously, then looked up at him and said, "Brother Wang, I want to learn some skills from you!"
This was an answer that surprised Xu Shi.
After staring at Taxi for a while, he said, "I only teach my own people."
Taxi's eyes suddenly lit up: "From now on, if you ask me to go east, Brother Wang, I will never go west. I will obey you, Brother Wang!"
Xu Shi smiled and said: "I never believe what I say, only what I do. However, you don't have to rush to show your loyalty to me. Please tell me first, why do you want to learn this?"
Taxi suddenly fell silent, and the look on his face showed some vicissitudes that were not appropriate for his age.
Seeing him like this, Xu Shi didn't plan to ask any more questions. Just as he was about to leave, Taxi said: "I have a sister who is five years older than me. Six years ago, she was killed by someone on her way to work. She was raped. It was winter and the weather was very cold. After those beasts raped my sister, they did not untie her. She was tied to a tree and froze all night. When she was discovered in the morning, A layer of ice has formed on the body.”
He lowered his head, and Xu Shi couldn't see his expression, but people could still feel the sorrow and anger when he said these words, which seemed to drag the world into hell.
"She had just gotten engaged in September of that year. On the night of the accident, her fiancé came to talk about the wedding. We searched for her all night, but we never found her."
Xu Shi saw tears falling and hitting the ground in front of his toes, spreading watermarks.
"I want to kill them!" Taxi looked up at Xu Shi, her eyes that were usually sincere, now full of hatred and stubbornness.
After Xu Shi stared at him for a while, he said calmly: "You will kill them."
Taxi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "You agreed."
Xu Shi shook his head: "I just said, I don't believe in what I say, only what I do. If you want to learn, you can, then use actions to prove that I won't teach a white-eyed wolf!"
Taxi's eyes suddenly became determined: "I will prove it!"
Xu Shi said no more. After he and Taxi came out of the house, he asked him to take him to the supermarket. After buying some daily necessities, he went directly back to the hotel, packed his things, checked out of the room, and moved in on the same day. That house.
By the time Ayi came to work, Xu Shi had already left, leaving only a bag of medicines that Xu Shi had deliberately left at the front desk, and a thousand yuan.
Ayi looked at these things and her eyes were red with anger.
At 4:50 in the afternoon, Xu Shi was sitting in Taxi's car, waiting outside the Anhe Hotel. Time passed bit by bit, and five o'clock arrived soon. But none of those people showed up.
Taxi glanced at Xu Shi in the rearview mirror and asked cautiously: "Brother Wang, how about I call Third Brother to urge him? Maybe something has delayed him!"
"No need." Xu Shi looked away from the window and said calmly: "Wait for another five minutes."
Hearing this, Taxi had no choice but to put back the cell phone he had just taken out.
Five minutes passed quickly, and neither Lao San nor Xia Hapu showed up.
"Let's go, change places, I'll treat you to dinner." Xu Shi said.
"I know a delicious mutton soup restaurant, let me treat you." Taxi grinned.
Xu Shi didn't argue with him.
The mutton soup shop Taxi mentioned was next to Highway 5 on the outskirts of the county. It was still early when they went there, and there were not many people in the shop. Xu Shi and Taxi found a seat by the window. Not long after they sat down, two acquaintances suddenly came in from outside the store.
To be precise, he should be an acquaintance of Tassie.
When Taxi saw these two people, her face suddenly became ugly.
The two people also saw Taxi, and after glancing at Xu Shi, they greeted Taxi. They spoke the local dialect, which Xu Shi couldn't understand. However, it can be seen from the sarcastic expressions on their faces and Tassie's reaction that what the other party said was not something nice to hear.
Taxi kept her head down and didn't answer.
Xu Shi had no intention of interfering.
When the other party saw that Taxi was ignoring them, one of them suddenly stepped forward, pushed Taxi, and shouted: "I'm talking to you, why are you pretending to be deaf, you little turtle!"
Taxi swayed, but still did not raise his head to speak to the other party. He only looked up at Xu Shi and asked with some embarrassment: "Brother Wang, how about we eat somewhere else?"
Xu Shi took a deep look and didn't answer.
The embarrassment on Taxi's face gradually deepened, and her originally pale face quickly turned red. Within a few seconds, even her eyes were red.
"I don't like cowards!" Xu Shi said lightly.
The blood on Taxi's face quickly faded, and the hands hidden under the table clenched tightly.
Xu Shi looked at him.
Time passed by minute by minute.
But for a few dozen seconds, for Taxi, it was like returning to that night six years ago, so painful.
The person standing nearby looked back and forth between Taxi and Xu Shi. After a moment, he raised his chin at Xu Shi and said rudely: "What is your relationship with this turtle grandson?"
Xu Shi didn't look at him, only stared at Taxi.
Seeing that Xu Shi didn't even look at him, the man felt that he had lost face and reached out to push Xu Shi. Just then, Tasi moved.
He stood up suddenly, with such force that the stool behind him fell to the ground with a thud. The man was startled, looked at Taxi, and laughed sarcastically: "What? Do you still want to hit me?"
Taxi's face froze, then she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "What's wrong with hitting you!" Before she could finish her words, she punched out and went straight to the other party's door.
The other party probably never expected that the person in front of him would really dare to take action, and he was completely defenseless. With one punch, everyone was stunned. His nose felt sore, and two lines of blood slowly slipped out.
When the man touched his nose and saw the blood, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Fuck! How dare you do it! I won't kill you today!" As he said that, he was about to grab Taxi, and at the same time he came with him. Another person also rushed over.
At this moment, Xu Shi suddenly stood up.
Without even seeing how he moved, a chopstick stabbed into the other person's neck.
"Either get out now, or you can lie down and go out today!" Xu Shi said calmly.
The other party felt the stinging pain on his neck and had no doubts about what Xu Shi said.
The man who had just rushed forward suddenly stopped and stared at Xu Shi, not daring to move rashly.
"Who are you? This is a matter between us and Taxi. You'd better not interfere!" The man said, taking out a dagger from his pocket and shaking it in front of Xu Shi's eyes. The threat was self-evident. .
Xu Shi sneered: "Taxi is my person, you beat my people in front of me, and you still want me not to interfere, are you okay with your mind?"
At this time, Xu Shi's face was expressionless, but his eyes were very fierce. He was completely different from before. At first glance, he was not a good person. The man's face changed slightly, and he already wanted to retreat. But he had already said the words. Wouldn't it be a shame if he gave up at this moment? Especially in front of Taxi.
Just when he was hesitating, Taxi suddenly kicked him hard. After he stumbled, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He quickly wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Taxi was faster. He stepped forward and kicked the dagger away.
Without the dagger, this person didn't dare to take action again without someone to rely on, but for a moment he couldn't help but admit defeat, so he stood there in a stalemate with a dark face.
Fortunately, the store owner came out at this time, said good things and smiled at the two people, and pulled them away, which was considered a step up. The two of them had long since lost their ambition to be ruthless and took advantage of the situation. After muttering a few curse words, they stopped drinking the mutton soup and turned around and went out.
