The cauliflower just stuffed the slices of meat cooked with chopsticks into her mouth, but she felt that she couldn't even chew it, so she stretched out her neck and swallowed hard.

"What, you are Chen Xuanchao who he always keeps his mouth on, and he never forgets it?" Cauhua pointed at Lao Chao with chopsticks, tilted her head and looked at me for a long time, and then looked at me, "I thought you were brothers, but I didn't expect you were neighbors!

You are not interested enough. Since you left, Shang Mochen has been sad for several days without eating or drinking. Humph, in the end, my dad will have to pay him out of his own pocket to take him to the hospital for water supply."

As he said that, he just greeted the fish balls, blood sausages, sheep's eyes, etc., but he didn't want any vegetarian dishes.

Lao Chao on the opposite side had already put down his chopsticks, his mouth trembled, and his shoulders were trembling.

Seeing my brother like this, how could I bear it? I took a chopstick of meat for the cauliflower and whispered: "Eating meat can't block your mouth."

I quickly changed the subject and asked if Lao Chao would leave when he came back this time.

Upon hearing this, Lao Chao said excitedly: "I won't leave. I will go wherever you go in the future!"

I nodded blankly, and only served the wine glass, and the two of them drank it all in one go. At this time, all the things I wanted to say were in the wine.

Seeing us changing cups, the nonsense of cauliflower stopped and we started chatting with Meng Xin. Soon, the two of us were like best friends, talking and laughing.

Meng Xin doesn't know how to drink, but cauliflower is addicted to alcohol. She is full of strong liquor and meat. If it weren't for her figure, I would even suspect that this guy was a pure man.

During the meal, I asked Meng Xin in detail about her commission. It turned out that her family was in Beijing, and her father was a professor who specialized in the research of cultural relics and historical sites in the Song Dynasty. There was a jade mask at home, which should have been passed down from generation to generation. Even local museums often borrowed for exhibitions. It can be said to be a priceless treasure.

But one day not long ago, the mask was cracked. His father had found many capable people to repair it, but he always couldn't do it. The strangest thing was that after these craftsmen came into contact with the mask, they all seemed crazy and went to the hospital for examination but could not find the cause.

As soon as the news came out, many bosses and professional scholars who loved arts came to visit the door to see the strangeness of the mask. There were even many famous porcelain and restoration masters who came here and were willing to try it without paying money. The unique goods were obviously accustomed to being able to live in.

Unfortunately, as many people come, as many crazy people as there are. Until recently, no one dared to step into the Meng family easily.

Soon, the Meng family mask may have been attached to the evil ghosts and the neighbors around them complained even more and began to curse and pull banners to ask them to move away. For a moment, the incident caused a lot of controversy and even alarmed the police.

Meng Xinyuan was on the campus in Shanghai. He couldn't sleep or eat when he heard this. He happened to learn that Lao Chao, the senior who had quit his job in the Chinese medicine hospital, was going to come back to Anyang. He immediately thought of the one he often talked about, Shang Mochen.

After hearing Meng Xin’s whole story, the meatballs in the cauliflower’s mouth fell off, and I was even more stunned.

If it was just an ordinary object, it would be a problem to ask me to practice it, but this thing was so evil. I am not an old man who knows how to do it. How much luck can I be more famous than those famous predecessors?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but give in.

...

At night, Lao Chao and I were drinking tea and chatting in the room. The cauliflower was drunk and pulled Meng Xin to make a fuss in the next room. It was not until the hotel was dissuaded, and it gradually became stable. It seemed that the heavy snoring could be heard.

We talked a lot, and the first thing we talked about was the tragedy that year and the experiences of the two people afterwards.

Because I had no relatives and friends, I was arranged by the neighborhood committee to adopt it in an orphanage, and Lao Chao lived with his uncle.

The same person, but the fate is very different. Think about the days in the orphanage back then, if I could stay there, I would not sneak over the wall and escape.

Fortunately, the poor man who never lost his life happened happened to meet Caihua's father by chance. My famous master later became an apprentice and took the shop to make a living by selling his skills.

Putting down the teacup gently, Lao Chao sighed: "You boy, it's so bitter."

"Hmph, I dare to say that these sufferings are no more than your sudden disappearance!"

We looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and stopped talking.

I remember that back then, I looked for Lao Chao everywhere like crazy, but I still had no news. Now I know that because his uncle had serious problems in his business, he was in a hurry to deal with it, and his family moved to Shanghai overnight, so I didn’t have time to notify me. Later, when I got old, I wanted to contact him but didn’t know how to start, so I delayed it until today.

Lao Chao continued his father's ability and became a professional doctor. After graduation, he was admitted to the local traditional Chinese medicine hospital with a bright future. Now, he is back, because of the silence of the past, and he is here to find my brother to atone for his sins.

"How did you find me?"

"Luckily, I remembered that you followed a master and then took the idea of ​​giving it a try. Hey, I didn't expect that Caihua's father is quite famous. It's not difficult to find someone from the household registration department."

There is no need to say anything extra. Everything is in the glass, and it’s not that wine is better than wine.

"Lao Chao, Meng Xin's matter is not simple." I wanted to refuse, but it was hard to say it out of my face.

Lao Chao understood and admitted that he wanted to go with me, even if he was a sea of ​​swords and fire, he would not retreat. With his words, I also felt at ease in my heart. What a monster, let’s talk about it!

...

The rain stopped in the second half of the night. The morning sun shone on the earth, and the nose was filled with the mixed fragrance of soil and water vapor. Not to mention, it was addictive to smell it too much.

The cauliflower disappeared in the morning. When she came back, she realized that she had gone to the store again and posted a notice saying that the owner had something to do and had a week off. Now a backpack and a rattan box are in her hand, urging us to set off.

"Why, you want to go too?" Looking up and down at the cauliflower, the deformed sweater had not been changed yet, but just changed into loose pants and shoes, and the posture of going out for a trip was funny.

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I prepare my luggage? Hold it!" He raised his hand and threw it to me a cowhide bag. The skin had turned gray-brown, obviously it was a long time ago.

"I have paid back the treasure you passed on from your family, but don't forget that this is collateral. Compared with my father's raising me over the years, it is not enough to repay the debt. So I need to follow the supervision of this trip, so don't let you take the opportunity to escape." After saying that, he went downstairs without looking back.

"I said to Manager Shang, why does this girl look like a mother?" Lao Chao smiled.

"Oh, there is no way. This is the 'legacy' left by my master, and I can't get rid of it."

"Hey, are you all ready?" Meng Xin was in good spirits, maybe because I promised to help.

She looked around and asked if she had seen cauliflower. She said that she didn't know if the deposit was given enough.

When I heard this, I realized why that girl was so active.

I recalled that I was carrying the box just now very briskly, probably empty. This guy just wanted to take the opportunity to travel. When I came back, the box would definitely be filled with her.

After getting the money, all I have left is to squander. I have made a lot of money over the years. If she can hold her arms around, she will not live like this. It’s really a miserable life!

...

After getting off the train, the cauliflower was no longer as personal as a person. If Meng Xin had not bought the special medicine and vomited it, her stomach might have been turned out to see people.

"What's wrong with you? You're actually dying of a train!"

The listless cauliflower walked with her eyes closed and said tragically: "How do I know that I have been staying at home for many years? Where have I come out? Besides, there are people inside, sweat and feet odor, and my nose is almost ruined. Motion sickness is inevitable. Uh--"

"So I don't let you come here, I'm really asking for trouble."

Beijing is so big, with traffic on the streets and beautiful scenery everywhere.

The cauliflower was soon "resurrected". When she started to see where she saw it, Meng Xin even let her hired three-wheeled manpower to let her have enough shopping.

I started walking and stopping in the morning and didn't get off in front of an old yard until noon.

Seeing this house with a sense of time, the cauliflower kept making her mouth feel like a wild monkey in Monkey Mountain.

We are studying the alleys in Beijing and the houses of Meng Xin's family, and Meng Xin has already gone to knock on the door.

Just as the cauliflower was sighing endlessly, I looked at the intersection and a car attracted attention.

"Shopkeeper Shang, you have also discovered it." Lao Chao said.

"Yes, I've discovered that cauliflower vomited on the side of the road just now. Even in Beijing, the number of cars is limited. If you dare to follow this all the way, you will definitely be unkind. Lao Chao, be careful."

"Do you want to remind Meng Xin?" Lao Chao asked.

Nodding, I am now cautious in doing things. After all, a small negligence may make you regret it for life. This is a lesson obtained by blood.

"Help! There are...there are ghosts! Don't chase me..."

Suddenly someone shouted and knocked the door open. Meng Xin was standing in front of the door without any defense and was hit back. If Lao Chao hadn't been close to her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The middle-aged man who ran out of the courtyard was a straight suit, very similar to the academic cadre in newspaper photos. He had a face with a Chinese font, and his hair might have been combed well, but now it is as messy as a bird's nest, with a pale complexion.

Not only did he scream, but he also kept waving his hands, his eyes full of fear as if he was driving away something that he could not see.

He didn't care at all about the collision with Meng Xin just now, and shouted wildly, and disappeared after running away.

This commotion attracted the attention of neighbors and passers-by. Seeing them pointing fingers, they were talking about the Meng family and us. It seemed that Meng Xin was right, and she had to calm the strange thing down as soon as possible.

"Teacher Cheng! Oh, why is this happening again? What's wrong with our family?" I heard someone chasing him out, but he was still one step slower.

Meng Xin heard the scream, and suddenly jumped out of Lao Chao's arms, screamed and rushed into the yard.

At this time, the car at the entrance of the alley has disappeared. I have recorded the license plate. If there is another time, I will definitely recognize it.

Now I pushed Lao Chao and signaled to follow Meng Xin, but before I could take a step, someone grabbed her clothes. When I looked back, Caihua looked aggrieved and anxious, which surprised me and asked, "What are you doing?"

She was so anxious that she jumped around in place, pointing to the way she came, and sweat came out.

Just when I thought she had discovered something wrong, this guy actually said: I forgot my luggage on the three-wheeler!
Chapter completed!
