death

Chapter 16

Hearing what my mother and Mai Xiaorou said respectively, I didn't make a sound beside me.

At first I thought that Liu Shengfu was about to say something, so I turned my head to look at the water basin, but I couldn't help being stunned, there was no grimace in it at all, and the basin of clear water had long since turned into a basin of water. dirt.

I hurriedly asked Mai Xiaorou if Liu Shengfu had run away.

Mai Xiaorou said: "It's not that he ran away, it's that he broke up. The three souls have returned to their respective positions, and the 'resentment' in his heart has disappeared."

I still feel a little surprised, Liu Shengfu wanted to kill us before, how could there be such a big change?

Mai Xiaorou squeezed a finger, and moved a few times quickly, the breath around the soul-inducing altar disappeared with a "huh", I knew that the soul-inducing altar was closed, and after doing this, Mai Xiaorou He smiled at me and said, "We were lucky this time. Liu Shengfu's hostility wasn't too severe, so the resentment on him disappeared quickly. Anyway, you and auntie are safe for the time being."

Next, I helped my mother into the house first, and then simply tidied up the yard.

During the period, my mother also asked who Mai Xiaorou was, and I directly said Mai Xiaorou's name, and then said that she was my classmate in college and my girlfriend.

After hearing my introduction, my mother nodded with a smile. It seems that she is very satisfied with Mai Xiaorou.

My mother asked how Mai Xiaorou knew how to set up an altar, and Mai Xiaorou smiled and said: "Actually, I also understand a little bit. I learned it from my grandfather. He learned the Tao."

Although Mai Xiaorou was hiding something when she said this, it was not a lie.

The mother then asked Mai Xiaorou what the family did and how many children she had. Mai Xiaorou said that her family was an ordinary worker's family. Her parents left early and grew up with her grandfather.

When my mother asked questions, I couldn't stop, so I hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, it's the first time for Xiaorou to come here, so don't ask so many questions, by the way, you just promised Liu Shengfu to give their family 100 million. Do you have that much money?"

The mother nodded and said: "Of course there is. Since your father earned the money together with other people, we can't really take it privately. You go to the cabinet and bring the household registration book. There are three cards in it. Bring those two Agricultural Bank of China cards, one of which is exactly 50 yuan, and the password is your birthday, you can take it to Liu Shengfu's two brothers."

To be honest, when it comes to money, I have never seen my mother be so generous. She is reluctant to pay more for my monthly living expenses.

So I whispered a few words.

The mother hummed and said, "You are still a student. I have already given you enough living expenses. If I give you more money, you spend it recklessly. If you develop any bad habits, you will be as lazy as your father." , your life is over."

Sure enough, I found those three cards in the cabinet, two for Agricultural Bank of China and one for Construction. I asked how much money was left in the remaining cards and whether it was enough for us to spend.

The mother said, "Don't worry, it's enough for you to marry a wife, but after you marry a wife, how to earn money to support your own family depends on your ability."

Hearing her say that, I don't have to worry, at least my family won't be struggling because of this expense.

We stayed at home that night, and I called the guide, saying that my mother was sick and left in a hurry, so I didn’t take time to ask for leave. Give it a circle.

My mother spoke up, and the instructor didn't pursue it any further, so he asked me to pay attention next time, and there will be no punishment this time.

When going to bed at night, Mai Xiaorou said she wanted to sleep with me, my mother smiled and said nothing, she is not that old feudal, let alone I am a man.

There are not many rooms in our house where we can sleep. Let Mai Xiaorou sleep with my mother. I don’t feel at ease. After all, she is a corpse. She has already borrowed my life, and she also borrowed my mother’s life. Wouldn’t that be the case? Oh no.

When I went to bed at night, Mai Xiaorou didn't "play around" anymore, probably because today's soul-inducing altar was too exhausting, I fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Mother and Mai Xiaorou were preparing breakfast in the kitchen together. Mai Xiaorou and I didn't stay at home too long, so we went out directly. There are still many things waiting for us to do in the provincial capital, so we can't delay here .

Mother sent us out of the village and went back.

Of course, when we left, we also took away Liu Shengfu's black phone. I also found the contact information of Liu Shengfu's two older brothers from the phone, but I didn't call immediately. I was going to make arrangements when I arrived in the provincial capital.

On the way to the provincial capital, Mai Xiaorou mentioned the matter of Tang Fu Teahouse again, and asked me to go to the teahouse in the provincial capital, and ask about my father and Liu Shengfu by the way, to see if I could find out What secrets come.

I asked Mai Xiaorou why she didn't go with me, she said: "You have forgotten my identity, the teahouse is probably a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, if I go, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, and even get into trouble .”

The longer I get along with Mai Xiaorou, the more I treat her as a person. When I think about this matter, I am like this.

When I arrived in the provincial capital, it was already afternoon again. I used my mobile phone to call Liu Shengfu’s two elder brothers first. I said that they were friends of Liu Shengfu and owed him two sums of money. Give it back to his two brothers.

Although his two elder brothers had concerns, they still made an appointment to meet them. When I gave them the card, I asked them sideways. It turned out that they already knew about Liu Shengfu's car accident, and his body was taken back to the provincial capital. And it has been cremated.

It has to be said that Liu Shengfu's two elder brothers are kind and righteous.

When I gave them the money, they all shed tears, but they didn't ask where the money came from or how I owed the money, so they just accepted it. I knew they really needed the money .

In any case, what Liu Shengfu explained was finished.

Next is Tang Fu Tea House.

On the way to Tangfu Teahouse, Mai Xiaorou said to me: "Be careful when you get there, there are many rules in the Daoist sect, if the other party doesn't want to mention what happened back then, then don't ask any further. So as not to cause trouble to the upper body, you know, after all, this matter can be considered."

I nodded to show that I understood what Mai Xiaorou meant.

We took a taxi and stopped some distance away from Tang Fu Tea House. Mai Xiaorou found a coffee shop to wait for me, and I went to Tang Fu Tea House alone.

This teahouse is a small two-story building with a Chinese style.

When I entered the teahouse, I realized that there was no one there, and there was no one in charge of receiving me. I looked around and turned my attention to the front desk of the teahouse.

There was an old man sitting inside, his head was lowered as if he was looking at something, and he didn't even notice that I came in.

I walked to the front desk and said, "I'm here to find someone."

The old man didn't look up, and said directly, "Who are you looking for?"

I said, "Zhang Rui, Tang Qing, are they here?"

Hearing me say these two names, the old man slowly raised his head. He was wearing a pair of reading glasses, and there was a vertical linear book on the table. Many pages of the book were damaged. This book looks like it should be old.

The old man looked me over and asked me, "What's your name?"

I said, "Chen Yu."

As soon as I announced my name, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard your name before. The person you are looking for is not here. If you drink tea, go to the second floor. If you are looking for someone, you should leave. There is nothing you are looking for here." people."

That Zhang Rui also said to let Mai Xiaorou and I come here to report his name, but he didn't even say hello to here.

I felt quite helpless, and at the same time felt very shameless.

I just left like this, I was a little unwilling, so I ran straight to the second floor, and at the same time said loudly: "I drink tea!"

On the second floor, I found that there are many card rooms and private rooms, which are also decorated in a Chinese style. There are a few guests here. They are sitting in different places drinking tea. After a few glances, they drank tea again.

Some of them chatted quietly, some closed their eyes and rested their minds, as if each of them had a big background.

Compared with the temperament shown on them, I can't help but feel a little inferior, and I am out of place here.

After a while, a tall woman in a high-cut cheongsam pushed the door out of a room on the second floor, and she walked towards me with a tray.

When she came to me, she took out a tea list from the tray and handed it to me: "What kind of tea do you want?"

I took a look at the list and couldn't help saying a dirty word: "Damn!"

The cheapest tea on the tea list cost four figures per pot, so I wouldn't have entered a black shop.

Maybe it was because my voice was too loud, those guests looked at me again, and I quickly whispered: "Why is this tea so expensive?"

The waiter in the cheongsam smiled, took the tea list from my hand and said, "This place is not suitable for you, you can go."

What she said hurt my self-esteem a lot.

But I have nothing to do. I spent all the money I had on my body, but it wasn't enough to drink a pot of tea here.

Just when I was embarrassed, a young man ran up to the second floor, still yelling: "Is someone looking for me, is someone looking for me?"

This person is none other than Zhang Rui whom Mai Xiaorou and I met before.

Zhang Rui saw me immediately after going upstairs, and recognized me at a glance: "You are Chen Yu? Did you come by yourself? Where is the girl Xiaorou who was with you? Why didn't she come?"

The waiter next to me saw that I knew Zhang Rui, and immediately smiled at me again: "So you are Zhang Shao's friend. If you don't tell me earlier, I'll go and prepare a pot of good tea for you."

After speaking, the waiter greeted Zhang Rui again and left.

Zhang Rui came to my side, pulled me to a card bag and sat down, and then said: "Sorry, I've been a little busy recently, and I forgot to say hello to the teahouse. I hope that Fellow Daoist Chen will forgive me if I didn't greet well."

Zhang Rui suddenly called me fellow daoist, which made me uncomfortable.

But I didn't forget my purpose of coming here, so I said straight to the point that I wanted to ask him something, Zhang Rui also told me to ask if I had anything.

But when I told about my father and Liu Shengfu, he said hesitantly: "What happened 20 years ago, I need to ask my elders about it, you wait here, I will ask Uncle Tang. "

Saying that, Zhang Rui turned around and went downstairs.
