death

Chapter 21 Boy, boy

Hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I didn't continue to ask. We walked along the road to the parking lot of the Maozigou Scenic Area, and then took a long-distance bus back to the provincial capital.

Along the way, Mai Xiaorou and I didn't talk too much. She was in good spirits, but I was a little tired. I didn't know when, so I fell asleep leaning on Mai Xiaorou's shoulder.

When I woke up, the car had almost reached the provincial capital.

I got up from Mai Xiaorou's shoulders in embarrassment, but she smiled and said, "You're still shy!"

I was afraid that Mai Xiaorou would say something embarrassing me later, so I quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, did you call Grandpa Mai, should we contact him first?"

Now it's on the bus, if she says something too provocative, the impact will be too bad.

Mai Xiaorou said that while I was sleeping, I had already called, and Grandpa Mai would come to the provincial capital tomorrow morning.

Soon the bus arrived at the stop, I took Mai Xiaorou off the bus, and then took a taxi back to Cui Di Chunxiao's residence.

When I got home, I threw myself on the bed and fell asleep without thinking about anything. I was really tired, especially my leg, which felt like it was going to be useless.

Soon it was the morning of the next day, during which I woke up a few times, but fell asleep after eating something, and Mai Xiaorou also knew that I was exhausted, so she didn't bother me too much.

Not long after we had breakfast, we heard a knock on the door. Before Mai Xiaorou opened the door, she said that it was Grandpa Mai. Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Grandpa Mai standing at the door, and I hurried over to greet him.

Grandpa Mai nodded at me, then looked at Mai Xiaorou and said, "You two really got into trouble."

When Grandpa Mai suddenly said such a sentence, Mai Xiaorou pouted, and I was confused. Although we were in a dangerous situation yesterday, we have already retreated, so how could it be considered a big disaster?Could it be that what he meant by causing big trouble is that we will offend the Tang family because of what happened yesterday?

Grandpa Mai walked in, asked Mai Xiaorou to close the door, and continued, "How are you going to provoke the Tang family? Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?"

Sure enough!

Grandpa Mai's words are reprimanding Mai Xiaorou. After all, I am still a non-practice person, and I know very little about Taoism.

Mai Xiaorou was a little dissatisfied and said: "But this matter is really strange, I suspect that there is a curse sealed on the top of the mountain, Grandpa, think about it, a collateral family of the Daoist sect, using all the power of a family The Tang family wants to rescue something that has just been sealed, isn't this a disaster for the world, don't you want me to just sit back and watch?"

Grandpa Mai sighed and said: "Forget it, anyway, you are already in deep trouble, it's too late for me to say anything, I'll take you to meet a person today, if he is willing to help us, then we still have a relationship with the Tang family." There is room for mediation, if he refuses to make a move, the three of us may be in trouble!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but wondered: "Grandpa Mai, what do you mean by that? Can the Tang family still kill people and silence them?"

Grandpa Mai hummed and said, "What can't be done."

Grandpa Mai spoke very seriously, and he didn't look like he was lying to me. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I don't want to die, especially if I die unexpectedly.

Mai Xiaorou said angrily at the side: "Just because the Tang family is a master of the Daoist sect, and they do such unreasonable things, no one cares about them?"

Grandpa Mai said: "Before I came to the provincial capital, I also inquired carefully about the Tang family. I only know that the Tang family has an in-law relationship with the ruler of the North China branch. I have always been cautious, and it is difficult for outsiders to catch their handles, so there is no way to ask them to ask for help."

Mai Xiaorou sternly said two words: "Despicable!"

Grandpa Mai continued: "But now you two have found out the fate of the Tang family because of Chen Yu's father. Do you think the Tang family will let you go?"

I quickly asked Grandpa Mai what to do next.

Grandpa Mai looked at the time and said, "It's still early, but let's not wait here, go to Tangfu Tea House, that person invited us to meet there."

I hurriedly said: "Tang Fu Tea House, isn't that the territory of the Tang family? Didn't we throw ourselves into a trap in the past?"

Grandpa Mai didn't explain much, so he asked us to pack up quickly and prepare to go out.

Before going out, Grandpa Mai gave Mai Xiaorou a talisman and said: "This is the talisman I asked for especially for you. Put it next to your body, and ordinary experts will not be able to see your identity as a 'corpse'. If we go to Tang Fu Tea House, we will be less dangerous."

Mai Xiaorou took the talisman and quickly put it away.

I became more and more curious. Who did Grandpa Mai ask for the talisman? It sounds very powerful. I couldn't help being curious about the person who drew the talisman.

I know that Grandpa Mai came to see us, but didn't ask us to go to Tangfu Tea House directly, just to give this talisman to Mai Xiaorou.

Soon the three of us arrived at Tang Fu Tea House. The old man on the first floor looked up and saw that it was me. He frowned and said displeasedly, "It's you again?"

I said, "Let's go upstairs to drink tea and not look for anyone."

Old man Tang looked at Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou behind me, then nodded and said: "Two friends, go upstairs first, I have something to say to this impolite boy."

This old man Tang saw that I didn't practice cultivation, so he directly looked down on me several grades. I was obviously here with Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou, but he respected the latter, but only disdained me. Very upset.

Just as Mai Xiaorou was about to say something, Grandpa Mai tugged her, and then said to old man Tang: "Okay, let's go upstairs first, but the three of us are together, and there are still some things to discuss, I hope it won't take too long .”

Old man Tang said: "Don't worry, it's just a few words."

When Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou went upstairs, Mai Xiaorou looked back at me with concern, and I smiled, indicating that nothing would happen.

Although this teahouse is deserted, it is in broad daylight after all. I don't believe that the Tang family dares to attack me here.

Old man Tang looked at me and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't do anything to you."

Only then did I realize that although I kept telling myself that I was fine, in fact I was extremely nervous and my body was already shaking involuntarily.

I took a deep breath and breathed out according to the breathing method that Mai Xiaorou taught me. In an instant, the cowardice in my body subsided, and I suddenly had an aura, just like when I came to Tang Fu Teahouse that day , the same temperament seen from those who drink tea.

Old man Tang was a little surprised, and then said: "What I want to tell you is very simple, don't continue to investigate the matter of your father and Liu Shengfu, if you continue to investigate, it will harm yourself, and even let you lost his life."

This old man Tang is threatening me.

I didn't say anything, because with my strength, I couldn't speak hard words in front of old man Tang. Although Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai would help me, I really didn't want to drag them into the water because of my own affairs.

But I don't want to give up, it's about my father after all, if I don't find out the real truth, it will always be a lump in my heart, and I won't be able to live comfortably in my life.

So I didn't express my position in front of old man Tang, I just stood there.

Old man Tang continued: "I've finished what I want to say, you can go upstairs."

I said "oh", then turned my head and went upstairs.

When I got to the second floor, I realized that apart from the three of us, there were no other guests here. That Shangguan Hong was receiving Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou.

Seeing me coming up, Shangguan Hong smiled at me and said, "What's the matter? Did you make an appointment with Young Master Zhang again today?"

Shangguanhong's meaning is obvious, I came to make tea in the name of Zhang Shao.

The tea here is really too expensive, and I was really reluctant to drink it out of my own pocket, so I followed Shangguan Hong's words and said, "Yes, I'll give Young Master Zhang a call to see what this order can do today It cannot be exempted."

Shangguan Hong's face suddenly became a little unhappy, she didn't expect me to be so thick-skinned.

I also really called Zhang Rui. He heard that Mai Xiaorou and I were in the teahouse, so he said that he would come over immediately, and that today's tea will be all on him.

After hanging up the phone, we ordered a pot of tea, and Shangguan Hong left angrily.

Not long after the tea was served, Zhang Rui rushed over. He greeted me and Grandpa Mai and went straight to Mai Xiaorou. I suddenly felt that I shouldn't call Zhang Rui.

At this moment, I feel a little jealous.

But Zhang Rui didn't do anything too extreme, he just sat down next to Mai Xiaorou, and called Shangguan Hong to come over for a pot of spirit tea.

Shangguan Hong heard that it was Zhang Rui's intention, so he had to follow suit.

And I introduced Grandpa Mai and Zhang Rui to each other during this period.

After the introduction, Zhang Rui found a topic to talk to Mai Xiaorou, and Mai Xiaorou said to me impatiently: "Chen Yu, I want to sit by the window, let's change seats."

I said "OK" and changed places with Mai Xiaorou. I was a little annoyed that Zhang Rui kept pestering Mai Xiaorou.

I even feel a little jealous.

And at this moment, there was a sound of "click, click" going upstairs on the second floor. The person's footsteps were heavy, and every time he stepped on a flight of stairs, he would make a particularly loud sound.

All four of us were also attracted by that voice.

After a while, a boy appeared at the top of the stairs. He was wearing a black casual outfit, with a black backpack and a peaked cap on his back. He looked very cool.

And there seemed to be something wriggling in the backpack behind him, and there seemed to be something alive in it.

"Excuse me, who is Mai Tianwen!" the young man said suddenly, his voice was clear and powerful.

Grandpa Mai nodded and said, "It's me, may I ask who you are?"

The young man smiled and said, "My master asked me to find you. My name is Li Guidao!"
