Hidden evil

Wu Xie was very irritable when she returned to the house, smoking one cigarette after another, the ashtray was almost full after a while, and all the cigarette boxes in Wu Xie's room were empty, there was no cigarette to smoke, Wu Xie walked to the desk and spread out a piece of rice paper to start writing, forcing himself to calm down.

The calligraphy practiced by Wu Xie is still thin and golden, but it is a little more hostile, and every stroke is full of sharp edges.Sheets of paper filled with words fell all over the floor, and Wu Xie didn't stop until the blank paper on the table was finished, and his restless mood was relieved.

When Wang Meng came back with the beads, he saw Zhang Qiling leaning against the door of Wu Xie's room as if dozing off. He walked over gently and was about to knock on the door when Zhang Qiling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wang Meng. Nod to Zhang Qiling.

"Master Zhang, did you disturb me?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head lightly and did not speak, only glanced at the small box in Wang Meng's hand, Wang Meng lifted the box and said to Zhang Qiling

"Our boss asked me to help him get something, and I just came back. Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"

Zhang Qiling still didn't answer, Wang Meng was a little embarrassed, and couldn't continue talking to Zhang Qiling, so he turned and knocked on Wu Xie's door.

knock knock

"Boss, things are done."

After Wang Meng knocked on the door, he told the inside that he was back. After a while, Wu Xie came over and opened the door in person. Wu Xie was a little surprised that Zhang Qiling was also outside the door. Seeing Wu Xie open the door, Wang Meng hurried over and quietly Said something in Wu Xie's ear, Wu Xie's face changed and Wang Meng was let into the room, Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie, Wu Xie hesitated and said

"Brother Zhang, go back to the house and rest for a while. Wang Meng has already changed the bed for you. You can sleep on it now. I have Wang Meng and Liu Zi here, so you don't need to stay with me all the time."

Wu Xie was still thinking about the fact that Zhang Qiling might not have slept last night because of the bed, but he also revealed in his words that he did not fully trust Zhang Qiling. It was obvious that he had something that he didn't want Zhang Qiling to hear outside. Zhang Qiling didn't speak, wondering why Wu Xie would Come and open the door for Wang Meng in person.After Wu Xie finished speaking, he closed the door, but Zhang Qiling did not leave, still leaning against the wall and waiting outside.

In Wu Xie's room, he sat in front of the desk, Wang Meng handed the string of jade beads to Wu Xie first, Wu Xie opened the box and took a look, he was quite satisfied, took it out and put it on his wrist, then he looked at Wang Meng and asked

"You just said that there is news about the kidnapper Liu? What's the situation?"

"Boss, when I was waiting for him to string beads at Lao Li's, I just heard him say that the kidnapper Liu also took a jade ring to him to make an inlay, but he never took it. He was going to send it over in person. Yes, someone took it away the day before yesterday. He asked me today why I haven’t seen Kidnap Liu for so long. I said Kidnap Liu went back to Changsha to deal with some things and would not come back for a while, so I asked him where to get it The situation of the people in Yuhuan."

Wu Xie fumbled in his pocket to find a cigarette, Wang Meng saw that Wu Xie touched his pocket and knew that he had run out of cigarettes, so he quickly took out his cigarette and handed it to Wu Xie, Wu Xie took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

"How to say?"

"It's a very ordinary person, throw it on the street and catch a lot."

"This kind of person is most suitable for contacting strangers, people can't remember his characteristics, and the other party is very cautious."

"However, Lao Li is not cheap. He has seen many antiques, and he has seen more people playing with them. He said that although the man was ordinary and featureless, he still noticed that the thumb on the right hand of the man had a thick Calluses are caused by things that have been frosted for a long time. He guessed that this person may also be an expert, and he has been doing antique restoration or imitation for a long time."

"It's not necessarily those who do these things. Those who have been fighting for a long time will use their hands to explore the coffin and the gaps in the coffin to make sure there are no organs inside. Go, send someone to quietly pay attention to those who have calluses on their fingers and smell of mud on their bodies." people."

"Some brothers have already been sent to pay attention, but, Master, why are you still looking for someone with an earthy smell?"

"I reckon that this person is not engaged in antique restoration or imitation. If he is really in this line of work, veterans like Lao Li cannot have no impression. No matter how ordinary the person looks, they will always have an impression after a long time of contact, so he Mostly those who went to the ground."

"Well, I'll send a message to my brothers immediately and let them follow these two characteristics to find people. By the way, boss, I see that the two fingers on the right hand of the little brother must have been practiced, right? I have never I've never seen such a special finger."

"He should be a descendant of Faqiu Tianguan in ancient times. I heard that this lineage of tomb robbers is capable. After special training, their fingers can break stones and break gold."

"It's no wonder that everyone on the road wants to cooperate with this little brother. It seems that he is a master. This time we have found a treasure. It must have been two or three hours since I went to Lao Li's place, and he has been outside your door all the time. Standing for two or three hours, this stamina is not something ordinary people can..."

"Didn't he come all the way with you?"

Wu Xie always thought that after he came back from the study, Zhang Qiling also returned to his room, maybe he came out and stood at the door together when he heard Wang Meng's knock on the door.

"No, I saw him standing at your door as soon as I came back. I deliberately took my steps very lightly. I didn't expect him to wake up before my hand was on the door. Either he hadn't slept all the time, or he That's too much vigilance."

After listening to Wang Meng's words, Wu Xie was silent for a while, and then ordered:

"This person is too capable, so be careful not to be careless. Tell the brothers to be vigilant and carry out what I just said in secret, so as not to leak the wind."

"I know, I'm going now. Boss, why don't I ask the sixth son to come and follow you first?"

"That's not necessary, there are so many people here, there won't be any major problems, you can send me a message at any time, use your mobile phone to send it directly to my mobile phone, don't let other people send messages."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Go."

After Wang Meng left the room, he locked the door of Wu Xie's room. Zhang Qiling was still guarding the door. Seeing Wang Meng come out, he also locked the door of Wu Xie's room. He looked at Wang Meng blankly. , Wang Meng noticed that Zhang Qiling was watching him lock Wu Xie's room door, afraid that Zhang Qiling would be overwhelmed, so he explained

"Our boss is used to locking the door. We will help him lock the door when we go in and out, so when I came here just now, he came to open the door himself."

"why?"

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Qiling to reply, he had just made several accusations, but Zhang Qiling didn't respond, but now he suddenly said such a sentence, Wang Meng was a little dazed.

"Uh... our boss, when he first took over the business of our third master, the situation was not very good. Mr. Zhang, you know that our business is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and our boss doesn't know what happened to him. Take the hand of the third master, anyway... During that time, our boss encountered a lot of dangers, and he didn't dare to sleep without locking the door at night, hehe, so, our boss's door will always be locked."

Wang Meng properly sold out his employer's cowardice. After Zhang Qiling heard this, his face was expressionless, and he leaned back against the wall and asked Wang Meng again.

"The window in his house used to be guarded. What if someone blocks him from the door?"

"Our boss said that whoever dares to block the door for him, he will burn himself to see our old man. Anyway, it is better to be burned to death than to be stabbed in the back by someone else. The people who are here are picking up the bargain. Mr. Zhang, I won’t tell you anymore, I’m going to go first.”

Wang Meng and Zhang Qiling nodded, and quickly went downstairs and left first.Zhang Qiling looked back at Wu Xie's door, then turned and went back to his room.Zhang Qiling looked at his brand-new room, the bed was replaced with an oversized Simmons bed, and it was piled up with thick quilts, Zhang Qiling just took a look, went straight to the window and sat down with his legs raised on the windowsill.The window of Zhang Qiling's room is facing the window of Wu Xie's room, so he can see immediately what's going on. The guardrail outside Wu Xie's window has been removed, and the light-colored curtains fluttered a few times in the breeze. , Wu Xie's figure sitting at the desk reading materials appeared behind the window for a while, and then was covered by the curtains again.

Zhang Qiling pulled out his black gold ancient knife from behind with his backhand, casually took out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe the blade carefully.

After reading the information Wang Meng sent to him, it was almost time. Wu Xie asked the six sons to bring some food to his house. After eating, the six sons told Wu Xie that Zhang Qiling had not gone out in his room. Let the six sons also deliver food to Zhang Qiling, and then he went to take a bath and get ready to sleep.When closing the window, Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling sleeping on the window sill again. He looked around, but couldn't see clearly what was going on in Zhang Qiling's house, and thought that this person had to sleep on the window sill if he had a bed.

Early the next morning, when Wu Xie got up and went out, Zhang Qiling was already waiting outside the door, and the six sons leaned against the stairs to smoke. Seeing Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling approaching, they quickly put out their cigarettes.

"Third Master, eat first?"

"Yes. Is there any news from Wang Meng?"

"Not yet, but Brother Wang said that he will be back in a while, and he may come back with some news to tell you personally."

"Ah."

The six sons followed Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling to the dining room. Wu Xie sat down and was about to eat when he suddenly turned to look at Zhang Qiling who was still standing behind him and asked

"Brother Zhang? Have you gone to have breakfast?"

"No."

Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie, and said honestly that he hadn't eaten breakfast again.

"Didn't I ask you to have breakfast before coming here? You should go to eat first. There are six children here, so you don't need to follow all the time."

Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie again, and said after a while

"You can't leave my sight."

"Are you here to spy on me?"

Wu Xie put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked straight at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling didn't answer, and no emotion could be seen on his indifferent face.Wu Xie was furious for a while, and the two just looked at each other without saying a word.

The six sons were covered in cold sweat, and he had never seen anyone who dared to talk to his boss like this. He had just been with Wu Xie for a few years, and he had seen Wu Xie lose his temper a few times, but he didn't speak, but what he did later It was so frightening that people were chilled all over.I heard from Wang Meng that Wu Xie used to have a good temper, but since becoming a family, it's like a different person, and I don't know what's wrong.Anyway, the six sons never felt that Wu Xie had anything to do with the gentleness that Wang Meng said.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Wu Xie gave Zhang Qiling a look, turned around and continued eating, he slammed the plate containing the fried dough sticks with his chopsticks, and made a clang on the plate, the six sons were frightened Taking a breath, he was about to say something, but Wu Xie spoke first

"Don't stand behind me like a door god! No, you sit down and have a meal! Our Wu family has no rules not to let bodyguards eat!"

Both Liu Zi and Zhang Qiling were stunned for a moment, then Zhang Qiling sat next to Wu Xie and honestly picked up the soy milk and took a fritter and ate it. Wu Xie took a bite of the fritter and said impatiently to Liu Zi

"Six sons, I changed the bed in Master Zhang's room. I asked Wang Meng to change it yesterday. Why did he dawdle? How long does it take to change the bed!"

"Third Master, Brother Wang changed the bed in Master Zhang's room yesterday! I personally took the worker who brought the bed to install it in the house."

"Change it again, it's uncomfortable to sleep."

"..."

The six sons looked at Wu Xie with some doubts and blinked a few times. They didn't know why Wu Xie would say that. The quality and comfort of the bed were almost the best, so how could it be uncomfortable to sleep on.Besides, Wu Xie hadn't slept before, so how did he know that it was uncomfortable to sleep.The six sons took a look at Zhang Qiling who was eating quietly, and said to Wu Xie bravely

"Third Master, no way. Brother Wang went to the best furniture store here to buy it. The furniture seller said that this bed is the best in their place. How could it be uncomfortable to fall asleep?"

"Then Zhang didn't sleep on the bed, so he went to sleep on the window sill?"

Wu Xie looked up at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling was reaching out to take the fried dough stick that Wu Xie had just torn off in half. Seeing Wu Xie looking at him, he replied indifferently.

"I'm not used to sleeping in a bed, so I don't need to change it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiling took the remaining half of fried dough sticks and continued to eat quietly with soy milk. Wu Xie turned his head and looked at Liu Zi and did not speak again.

After eating, Wu Xie went for a run in the yard. Originally, he should go to exercise first, but he was unable to exercise vigorously because of his injury, so he stayed in the house to rest for the past few days. Now the wound is almost healed, Wu Xie I also thought about going for a walk in the yard to exercise my muscles and bones.The wound on the left shoulder has almost healed, but the red wound looks a bit hideous, Wu Xie pressed the shoulder and moved it, but it didn't hurt, but it was a little stiff, Wu Xie tentatively punched a set of muscles and bones , Stretch out the stiff muscles, and then do pull-ups on the horizontal bar in the yard.

Zhang Qiling leaned against a tree not far away and looked at the sky in a daze, but from the corner of his eyes, he kept watching Wu Xie's every move. When Wu Xie raised his hand and pulled up his clothes, he could see his waist and back There are several knife scars on his body, all of which are old wounds.

While Zhang Qiling was looking at Wu Xie, Wu Xie, whose body was not used to it because he hadn't moved for a long time, had already stopped exercising. He took a towel and wiped the sweat from his face and sat down on the stool next to Zhang Qiling.

"Brother Zhang, have you known Xie Dahua for a long time?"

Wu Xie asked a question suddenly, Zhang Qiling recovered his senses and glanced at him and shook his head, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously and continued

"But Xie Dahua said he has known you for a long time?"

"Maybe."

"possible?"

Wu Xie didn't understand what Zhang Qiling meant, could it be possible to describe whether the two knew each other?Wu Xie pointed to the chair opposite her and told Zhang Qiling to sit down.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea together. Brother Zhang, what price did Dahua offer you? You are so capable, why are you willing to be my bodyguard? If it's too expensive, I might think about it. I have so many brothers to support. Yes, I can't waste money."

Zhang Qiling sat across from Wu Xie, holding a teacup and slowly drinking tea. When Wu Xie asked him this question, he knew that Wu Xie was testing himself, and he didn't reply. speak

"No money, as long as you take me with you every time you go to the ground."

"why?"

Wu Xie's eyes suddenly turned sharp, Zhang Qiling ignored the coldness in Wu Xie's eyes, and replied calmly

"I want to go to the field to find something. It's too inefficient to do it alone, and I have a better chance of cooperating with you."

"what."

Wu Xie pursued closely, the frost in his eyes became thicker, Zhang Qiling remained calm.

"No comment."

"I do not believe you."

Looking at Zhang Qiling coldly, Wu Xie's eyes were indeed full of disbelief. The index finger and middle finger of Zhang Qiling's right hand gently rubbed the teacup. Looking at Wu Xie with thin bangs across his forehead.

"I'm on your side."

"..."

"I'm just looking for something like that. I have nothing to do with anything you guys do. My protection of you is just a cooperative relationship."

Wu Xie didn't know what Zhang Qiling meant when he suddenly said this to him, but even he couldn't figure it out. When Zhang Qiling said that he was on his side, he believed it, as if he knew Zhang Qiling's words from the beginning. is trustworthy as well.

Wu Xie didn't continue to ask any more questions, he took an ancient book on the table and read it carefully, Zhang Qiling looked at the pair of jade beads that had newly appeared on Wu Xie's wrist, leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded, and looked at it. The verdant trees in the yard revived.
