Chapter 23: Pretense
In Luoyang City, my second uncle said than I am in the lock village child safety, the first few days of the whole environment is indeed like ten ambush, I myself also very careful. But these two days almost our side laid the biggest victory, chasing my grandfather's back tattoo of several sets of people, Huang Lao has withdrawn, Lin Bachan became our ally, then there is no one else, I myself is also sort of loose. However, I did not expect, at this time, I was brought to the old man Huang's side to come, and my side of Chen Jiuzou is not there.
I was called by Chen Jiuzi to participate in the auction, I was brought to her but not in, I psychological immediately on the road bad dishes, he mother's original this Chen Jiuzi is an undercover! It is true that beautiful women can not be trusted, the ancients honestly do not deceive me.
If said before leaving the village lock head of Huang Lao is almost fled, then now Huang Lao is back to the kind of calm and relaxed temperament, with the morning of his face odd is simply a different person, Huang Lao since I can use this way to bring me here, that is the decision to break the face, I psychological nervous to death, but still pretending to be calm, said: "Aigoo, you are also here. Elder Huang, you're here too?"
He glanced at me and nodded, unusually arrogant, not even letting me sit down. After a while, Old Man Huang said, "Little fellow, don't think I'm unkind. The favor I owed you last night, I've kind of returned it to you, and using this method to invite you here today is also a way out."
"Elder Huang is joking, how is it inviting me here? Why do I feel that it's our destiny to meet here by chance?" I said playing dumb.
He glared at me and said, "Don't pretend, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten noodles, I just have something I want to talk to you about."
Now I can only pretend not to be nervous and have a good plan, kneeling and begging for forgiveness is something I definitely can't do, Elder Huang has said don't let me pretend, then I casually pulled a cushion and sat on the ground, and said, "Since Elder Huang has said so, now that I'm in your hands, you say it, what do you want? " -People themselves will have a little bit of pity for the disadvantaged group, last night when Old Man Huang was so old and ignored Fatty's cynicism to go to us to seek refuge, I still had a trace of pity for him, but now with this look on his face, it makes me feel that this person is really very hypocritical.
"I'm just curious, why would you and your old man choose to trust Zhao Laobai, and that fat man, but are dead set against cooperating with me?" Huang Lao glanced at me and said.
"Did you say you would cooperate with us?" I asked rhetorically, I also knew about this Old Man Huang from my notes, and we definitely wouldn't have been on guard if he had really come back as my grandfather's late husband in the beginning. But this old thing sent me an email like that as soon as he came up, people who use plots and tricks are always going to annoy people.
"Little fellow, you have to know that I'm considered half a friend of your grandfather, and even more so, your old man's senior uncle, and who is he, Zhao Laobai? If you change your name, you're not Li Erdan anymore? You are the lock head village people, should know the Li family three ghosts of the matter, Li family three ghosts of the descendant Li Er egg, I investigated him, when the Zhao family two old people were burned to death by fire, and finally treated as an accident, but you use your brain to think about it, after the death of the Zhao family two people Li Er egg disappeared, disappeared for so many years, you can think of what?" Huang Lao asked me.
In fact, I also thought about this when I was reading my grandfather's notes, a child, first disfigured, then his old mother ran away with someone, then after that if he was considered to have been passed over, his psyche must have been twisted, so to speak, before I met my second uncle, Zhao Bajie, I also thought that maybe he was the one that killed his adoptive parents and then disappeared.
My thoughts were thoughts, but now that Elder Huang was saying this I definitely couldn't concur, so I said, "Elder Huang, with your elder status, if you invited me here in such a way, it can't be purely for the sake of stirring up trouble, right?"
He glanced at me once more and said, "You few little brats, are you worthy of me stirring up trouble? I'm just trying to tell you that by cooperating with me, you'll get more than what he got."
"I'm sorry, we're not related, even if he killed the old Zhao family, but he's at least my second uncle, Elder Huang, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." I stood up, trembling a little.
I bet that Huang Lao will not move me today, not in the betting luck, but that I have seen such a scene in the movie before, two gangs of people are in trouble, fighting in the bar, the host will say go out to fight, not in my place, and Chen Jiuzi told me that tonight's auction, is a very prestigious tomb robber hosted in Luoyang, I expect that Huang Lao surely do not dare to move me here, not to look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, is not it? That person wants to preside over the auction, he also has to guarantee my safety right, after all, I came in with an invitation.
"You move a little try." Huang Lao did not look up, drank a small porcelain cup of tea, then said to me.
"I came in with an invitation, I'm sure the owner of this place wouldn't want anything to happen to me here." I said pretending to have everything under control.
"The biggest grave robber in Luoyang is it? Little fellow, have you forgotten what I started out as?" Old Huang smiled and glanced at me.
My heart immediately sank to the underestimation, his mother, the biggest grave robber, Huang Lao is not the inverted bucket child it, I estimate that in all likelihood this auction is Huang Lao engaged in, the purpose is to set up a bureau for me.
This is the same as completely torn face, he let me try to move a little, today I am most worried about, because I am afraid of the safety of the USB flash drive, have been carrying with me! So I now no matter what methods, must go, I people if here, the USB flash drive at any time may be Huang Lao take away.
If I said just now I was a chest in the hands of the pretense of calm words, then I am now replaced with a caricature of a smile, I lifted the footsteps, I not only want to move, I also want to go in the direction of Huang Lao, I seem to be provocative like a smile while walking toward his side.
The person next to him, immediately put his hand to the waist, see this action I almost want to scare urine, to a shot buddy will be accounted for here, that how unfortunate? I'm still a virgin! However, Huang Lao waved his hand to stop the movement of his men, raised his head and I stared at.
I can't be a wimp, I have to pretend, I have to pretend to the end.
I walked to Huang Lao's front, stretched out my finger to point at his face and said, "Don't forget who hid in our place last night like a lost dog, surnamed Huang, I'm going to go out from here today, if I lose a hair, I guarantee that you won't live for three days, don't believe me, try it."
I myself don't even know what my bottom line is, this is just putting on a strong front.
Old Man Huang continued to look at me and laughed, "Little fellow, are you relying on Old Man Zhao?"
"Or else?" I said. -Saying this I even tightened my heart as I realized that I couldn't even be sure if I really died here if Zhao Laobai would help me take revenge, he was the only one capable of doing so, my old man definitely would, but could he?
"I won't kill you, it has nothing to do with Zhao Laobai, it's just because you're Guo Gengchen's grandson, little guy, still the same sentence, there's no need to pretend to be tough in front of me, I don't eat that, and also, don't think that my last name, Huang, was really the one that went to you to seek shelter last night, I came with sincerity to find you." Huang Lao said.
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, the door of this private room was opened, and two people walked in, one was a gray-haired old woman. And the other one, was that worldly man, Mr. Zhai, whom I had also met a few days ago.
I wasn't surprised to see Mr. Zhai here, but when I saw this white-haired old woman, I was really confused for a moment. White-haired old woman, isn't this the Yellow Skinned Spirit that is still spreading like wildfire in Locked Head Village?
"Dizzy, right? I'm telling you, are you playing games with me? Do you really think your uncle Zhao Laobai is the smartest person under the sky? Do you know how long I've been planning for the secret of the Princess's Tomb? Your Uncle Zhao wants me to take down the Supreme Observatory, then he'll break the Dead Boy's Gang and use the map you have to catch the cicada with the mantis and the yellow bird in the back? Playing tricks with me, you guys are still a bit too young!" Elder Huang looked at me and said.
My eyes were all on that gray-haired old woman, I was shaking with shock, damn I thought of everything, but I never thought that this yellow skinned spirit, was actually Huang Lao's people!
The Supreme Observatory is above the Yellow Skin Nest.
Huang Lao is considered a disciple of Supreme Observatory.
Could it be that they knew each other a long time ago?
