Xia Hapu had just been taken away here, and Xu Shi had already arrived near Qingcheng Hotel. The Qingcheng Hotel, which was deserted before, now has many cars parked at the door.
Xu Shi did not approach, but stood on the roadside and called Taxi.
Tassie came out soon, followed by Xiaohe.
"Brother, are you back?" Xiaohe was the first to ask as soon as the two approached.
Xu Shi glanced at him and nodded. Taxi stood nearby, hesitant to speak.
After the three of them got into the car, Xiaohe started the car and asked, "Brother, where are you going back now?"
Xu Shi leaned on the back seat and closed his eyes. He didn't open his eyes when he heard the sound, and replied calmly: "Go to Sunshine Garden."
"Okay." After Xiaohe agreed with a smile, he glanced at Xu Shi through the rearview mirror. What he originally wanted to say, but after seeing his tired face, he swallowed it back with interest.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived outside the Sunshine Garden Community.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Shi opened his eyes, glanced outside, and said to Xiaohe: "Help me bring a message to Brother Dao. Tomorrow night, if Brother Dao is willing to reward me, he can come to my house for dinner. I cook it myself.”
After saying that, he got out of the car.
After Taxi helped him close the car door, she quickly followed him and walked quickly into the Sunshine Garden.
It wasn't until he entered the gate of the community and turned a corner that Taxi finally dared to speak and asked in a low voice: "Brother, has Xia Hapu's matter been resolved?"
Xu Shi hummed.
Taxi seemed very tired when she saw Xu and didn't want to say more, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The two of them did not stay in Sunshine Garden for long. After finding the car, they drove straight away from here and went straight to the small courtyard that Long Dao helped arrange before.
A night of silence.
At noon the next day, Xu Shi and Taxi had just finished eating when someone came outside the small courtyard.
Xiaohe carried two large bags of things, knocked on the door with a smile, called Xu Shi who was sitting on the porch drinking tea, and then walked in the door like an old friend for many years, carrying the things in his hand and walked to the kitchen. .
Xu Shi didn't stop him, squinting as he and Taxi entered the kitchen, then lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.
This young man, Xiaohe, is very clever. Since he showed up and brought so many things, it means that Long Dao will definitely come for dinner today.
This dinner was Xu Shi's attitude towards Long Dao, and it was also a test.
The appearance of Xiaohe is Longdao's attitude and answer.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Shi entered the kitchen.
Both Taxi and Xiaohe were driven out of the kitchen.
At about half past five, Long Dao came, without anyone, just himself, carrying a bottle of wine, walking slowly through the alley filled with the fragrance of vegetables, and then walked into the alley that had already opened the door and was waiting for his arrival. hospital.
"Brother Dao!" Taxi and Long Daoluan had never met each other a few times, so they were a little nervous. Instead, it was the river that was pouring tea and moving stools, as if it was not Taxi who lived here with Xu Shi for a month, but him.
Just as Long Dao served the tea, Xu Shi walked out of the kitchen, wearing an apron. The sleeves of his off-white long-sleeved T-shirt were rolled up high, and his hair, which he had not combed for a while, was hanging limply on his forehead. At this moment, he looked harmless, gentle and gentle, and there was nothing like last night. That sharp edge that has everything under control.
After Long Dao stared at him for two seconds, he laughed and said, "You really cook by yourself!"
Xu Shi also smiled slightly and said: "Now that I have said it, I will definitely do it." After saying that, he called to Taxi: "Help serve the food."
Before Taxi could respond, Xiaohe said first, "I'll come too." After that, he pulled Taxi towards the kitchen.
Xu Shi took off his apron and sat down opposite Long Dao. He glanced at the wine on the table and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Liquor is a kind of yellow wine that is a specialty of Jiangchuan and is rarely found in the northwest.
Long Dao brought such a bottle of wine and placed it in front of him, so it was impossible that he had no intention.
Xu Shi smiled and said, "Where did Brother Jiu Dao find it? I've been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it on the market."
Long Dao took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at him: "It happened that a friend brought a few bottles back to me when he went to Jiangchuan a few days ago, so I brought one bottle over. Do you like to drink this wine?"
"I can't say I like it, but after being away from home for a long time, sometimes I always want to find something from my hometown to miss it!" Xu Shi said. The word hometown has already given Long Dao the answer.
Xu Shi's identity and place of birth on his ID card is Shao'an City, Jiangchuan Province. The rice wine brought by Long Dao happens to be a specialty of Shao'an, and the output of this brand is not high. Outside of Shao'an, it is rarely seen in other places.
This bottle of wine is Long Dao's test and the step he takes. He told Xu Shi that he had found out Xu Shi's identity. And Xu Shi's answer was regarded as acknowledging this identity.
This can be regarded as a sign of sincerity between the two of them for future cooperation.
"In two days, there will be a job. How about you help me set up a formation?" Long Dao stared at him for a while and then suddenly said.
Xu Shi replied without hesitation: "Brother Dao has spoken, how can I refuse? But, this time, there won't be any surprises, right?"
This accident naturally refers to the previous plan by Xia Hapu and Uncle Bei to kill him.
Long Dao was silent for a moment and said: "There will definitely not be anything against you. However, the Ta Gang's stall is too big now, and the people underneath are never monolithic in fighting against each other. This matter this time, it was originally Xia Ha's fault. Pu contacted me. Now that he is gone, there are many people who want to snatch the things he left behind, so the danger will definitely be inevitable on this trip, otherwise I would not ask you for help. "
Xu Shi didn't expect Long Dao to be so honest. After he glanced at Long Dao unexpectedly, he said, "Brother You Dao said, I already knew what he was saying."
"Taxi, what are your arrangements? Should I follow you, or stay here and let Xiaohe accompany me?" Long Dao asked again.
"Keep it here!" Xu Shi said without thinking.
Long Dao nodded, naturally satisfied with this answer. Although he didn't think Taxi was very important to Xu Shi, it was better than nothing!
When the two of them were about to chat, Xiaohe and Taxi came out of the kitchen carrying dishes at just the right time.
The dishes are all Jiangchuan specialties.
The four of them enjoyed the bottle of rice wine brought by Long Dao, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, at least on the surface.
At about seven o'clock, Long Dao left first, and Xiao He stayed behind to help Taxi clean up before leaving.
After Xiaohe left, Xu Shi called Taxi to stop.
"In two days, I'm going out for a trip. You just stay here. Xiaohe will come over to accompany you."
When Taxi heard this, her lowered eyebrows moved slightly, and then she said in a low voice: "I'm not a child, so I don't need Xiaohe to come and accompany me."
Xu Shi smiled helplessly and said, "I asked Xiaohe to come and accompany me just to reassure everyone. You are smart. Don't you understand this?"
Taxi drooped her eyebrows and was silent for a while. Then she suddenly raised her head unwillingly, looked at Xu Shi and asked, "When can I follow you?"
Xu Shi glanced at him and said, "Why are you following me? Killing people?"
Taxi was stunned, probably because he didn't expect Xu Shi to speak so bluntly.
Xu Shi didn't say anything more and turned back to the room.
Taxi stood there, stunned for a while, before he recovered. He stared at Xu Shi's door with a complicated expression for a while, then turned and walked away.
Early in the morning two days later, Xiaohe came to the door carrying breakfast.
Xu Shi and Taxi had just finished exercising. Xu Shi was sitting on the porch and reading the news on his mobile phone, while Taxi was taking a shower in the bathroom. Hearing the muffled sound, Xu Shi shouted without raising his head: "The door is unlocked, come in yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked, and Xiaohe poked his head in with a smile. When he saw Xu Shihou in the corridor, he shouted "brother" with a smile, then stepped forward and glanced across the yard, but did not see the tower. After looking back, he asked again: "Where is Taxi?"
Xu Shi put down his cell phone and said, "I'm washing up."
Xiaohe came over, put his breakfast on the table next to him, and said, "Brother, the car is outside the alley. Brother Dao said you don't need to be in a hurry. Just get to the hotel before ten o'clock."
Xu Shi glanced at the time. It was not yet eight o'clock, so there was still plenty of time.
He thought for a moment, raised his head and said to the river: "Run an errand for me, can you?"
Xiaohe immediately replied: "Brother, if you have something to tell me, it will be fine. There is nothing wrong with it!"
"I ordered something at the grocery store in Dongbian Alley a few days ago. You can help me get it back and leave Taxi's name on it," Xu Shi said.
After Xiaohe wrote it down, he walked away.
Xu Shi didn't stop him either. As soon as he left, Tassie came out of the bathroom.
Xu Shi invited him to come over for breakfast. After Taxi sat down, he glanced at the breakfast and asked, "Did Xiaohe bring it? Where are the others?"
"I sent him out." Xu Shi said as he opened a box of dumplings. "In the house on Qihe Lane, under the cupboard in the kitchen, there is a floor tile that can move. I put something under the floor tile. If three days later If I don’t come back, you go take out the things and leave here, remember?”
When Taxi, who was sitting opposite, heard the words, he couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, and saw Xu Shi picking up a dumpling and stuffing it into his mouth with a natural expression, as if what he just said was just a casual chat between parents, and he suddenly felt depressed.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xu Shi ignored him and went back to his room after finishing a box of dumplings.
About half an hour later, Xiaohe came back with a big bag filled with things like rice, flour, and oil.
At this time, Xu Shi also packed his things, said hello to Xiaohe, and went out.
Outside the alley, the driver in the car arranged by Long Dao had been paying attention to the entrance of the alley. When he saw Xu Shi, he immediately recognized him, stuck his head out of the car, stretched out his hand towards Xu Shi and shouted: "Brother, here it is! "
Xu Shi turned around and saw, hey, he was still an acquaintance.
