Chapter 39 Red Line and Old Friends

After returning from Xiao's house, Mai Mai fell into bed directly.After a whole night of tossing and vomiting, he really couldn't bear it.Shao Jing was writing talismans in the living room, it was very quiet and there was no sound, and Mai Mai actually fell asleep.When he woke up, Shao Jing had already gone out, and left a note beside his pillow, saying that he went to Xiao's house to guard the dismantling double formation, and that he would keep his lunch warm in a pot, let the wheat eat and go out to play by himself, and he would come back after dark .Mai Mai ran to the kitchen to see that there were indeed food in the thermos pot, except for the ones that were not finished yesterday, there were also two fried eggs—although—they were a bit burnt.

When it comes to going out to play, Xiaomai still can't think of where to go. On the first day of the new year, the shops are not open, and it is winter, so where can I go?After much deliberation, he decided to check out the new store.

Even in the eastern business district, the first day of the new year is very deserted, only a nearby KFC is open, and the business is not bad.Mai Mai walked past the door, just as a young couple came out, Mai Mai stepped back slightly, before he could take a step, the door was pushed open again, and a boy rushed out recklessly, almost pushing the door into Mai Mai's face .Mai Mai stretched out his hand to block the door: "Hey, be careful when you open the door!"

When the boy turned his head, both of them opened their eyes wide at the same time.

"Little Yue!"

"wheat!"

This daredevil is none other than the off-line boy Xiaoyue, and Mai Mai looked at him in surprise: "Why did you come to Binhai?"

"Oh, I don't have time to tell you, I have to—" Before Xiaoyue finished speaking, he saw the young couple stretching out their hands to hailed a taxi and drove away. He was immediately discouraged, "Forget it, chase No more..."

Mai looked at the taxi: "What are you doing?"

"Go on a mission, otherwise, what do you think I'm doing?" Xiaoyue was dejected, "The person who was so easy to follow, was delayed by you, and it didn't work..."

Mai Mai was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you want to do... But, they are already a couple, why do you still bother to tie the red thread?"

"Who said they were given two departments? The two of them are not married at all. The girl's other half is in Lanzhou. She is a soldier. I just connected the end of the red line to the Lanzhou department the day before yesterday, so I ran to Binhai to find her." This end."

Mai Mai was speechless. Recalling the sweet look of the young couple just now, she suddenly felt a little desolate: "I think they are very good, why is there no marriage? Do you want to be so rigid in your work? Can marriage be possible without love?"

"You don't understand this!" Xiaoyue pointed with his fingers, "What is marriage? Marriage, marriage, fate, fate. These two things have nothing to do with the love these young people talk about nowadays. Marriage Love alone is not enough for this thing. Chai Mi and his wife, have you heard of it? Marriage is to live, how can there be so many flowers? Oh, of course it is not enough to say that there is no love, but, but it is not what they say That kind of love, this, that is to say..." The off-line boy ran out of words, and began to look up at the sky.

Mai Mai looked amused: "Then there are so many bad marriages in the world, and the rebellion between husband and wife is also the effect of your red line. How do you explain it?"

Xiaoyue stared: "Nonsense! My red line has never been a bad marriage. A large part of those couples who have turned against each other are not tied by the red line, but just because they can't find the other half in the marriage book, they get married casually." .Of course, there are also red threads that are bound enough and turn against you in the future. That is because the marriage also needs to be managed. Don’t feel that the marriage is settled and treat it as a waste of money. All kinds of unsatisfactory things are like knives. , naturally must turn against each other.”

Listening to his eloquent words, Mai Mai felt a sense of taste, thought for a while, and asked him: "Last time you used that software to check my marriage, did you figure it out?"

Xiaoyue immediately cried: "Don't mention it, I broke the software, and I was fined three months' wages when I went back. What kind of fate is yours, you can't even figure it out."

Mai Mai felt disappointed for a while, but then cheered up: "Then, can you give me a red thread?"

Xiao Yue opened his eyes wide: "Why do you want the red thread?"

Mai Mai blushed slightly: "What else can I do?"

Xiaoyue's eyes widened: "You won't be, who do you want to tie it to?"

"Can't you?"

"This, this, this..." Xiaoyue skipped three words in a row, didn't say anything, and stammered for a long time before saying, "No, there is no such thing as you... Since, you are my own? I didn't hear I said it!"

"Is it okay? Isn't it because your department is useless?"

"Of course you need the Yuelao department!"

"Aren't you an off-line—ah no, red-line boy?" You're still a trainee.

Xiaoyue was poked into a sore foot and collapsed: "What you said is also reasonable, but there has never been such a rule."

"Can you help me get a red thread? Or is there only one red thread for each person, and it's all arranged? Or the key is the three-life stone wrapped around the red thread?"

Xiaoyue shook his head: "That's not true. The red thread was wholesale produced by Weaver Girl, and the Sansheng Stone was fished out from the bottom of the Sansheng Spring. The key is that when this red thread is tied, it must be dyed with the hearts and blood of the people at both ends of the red thread. Once it’s dyed, it’s only effective if it’s tied up.”

"Heartblood?" Maimai pressed the heart subconsciously, "How do you take other people's heartblood?"

Xiaoyue saw what he meant and shouted, "I didn't just stab someone's heart with a knife!"

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Xiaomai saw that everyone passing by was attracted by Xiaoyue's voice, looking at him with the eyes of murder suspects or psychopaths, and quickly covered the mouth of the off-line boy and put him in a hurry. Pulled aside, "Let's go, let's find a place to talk about it."

Xiaoyue clutched his stomach, and scrambled on the ground with one foot: "I rushed here early in the morning. I didn't finish the New Year yesterday. I just ate a bag of French fries and I'm still hungry."

Mai Mai was angry and funny: "All right, let me treat you to dinner, okay?"

Xiaoyue immediately became excited: "Okay!"

Mai Mai felt a little guilty, and did not dare to take Xiaoyue home, but took him to Zhongxi Xiaodian.Although they don't plan to open for business today, the flour and seasonings are all ready. Xiaomai bought some fresh vegetables and chicken on the way, and made two-color tulips and golden tiles for Xiaoyue.His craftsmanship is not as good as Gui Zi'er's, but now the things he makes are very decent.Xiaoyue ate happily, wiped his mouth and took care of everything: "The matter of the red thread is no problem. Although Zhinu's side has strict control over the quantity, I can get you one for mass production. Blood, let me tell you, there are two ways. One is to take blood from the heart, and the other is to prick blood from the left index finger. The blood that comes out of these two places has heart blood. But not all the blood that comes out of these two places It's heart blood, if you're lucky, one drop out of ten is heart blood; if you're unlucky...you'll only see it when the blood is drained."

Mai Mai's face turned green when she heard this: "Then how do I know if what I took out is my heart's blood?"

Xiaoyue laughed and hiccupped: "There's a mystery to this. Only blood from the heart can dye the red thread. If it's not blood from the heart, it can't seep into the red thread at all. The red thread that has been dyed is so red that it looks like nothing at all." The ones that have been dyed are different. If you tie such a red thread, it is the real marriage of three thousand miles. If you have not dyed it, even if you tie it, the effect will be much worse."

"Then can you get me one?"

"No problem! It's just that the time can't be limited. I need to go to Zhinu's place and say something nice. Then, while she's not paying attention, I'll—oh, right!" Xiao Yue slapped his head fiercely, "I'll buy it for her. She loves to eat this cake! Every time I give it to her, she pretends to say 'I'm going to lose weight, so I can't eat it', and then eats it up every time."

"Cake? I have cakes here! It's just that I didn't plan to open the door today, and the cake maker didn't come. If you want cakes, I have good ones here!"

"That's no problem!" Xiaoyue patted his thigh, "Well, I have to go after that girl now, and this box is for you." He took out a wooden box from his backpack as if by magic. There is a three-headed bird carved on it, "You put the cake in this box, and I can get it, and then I will send it back to you when I get the red thread."

"You can receive it if I put it in this box?" Mai Mai took the box and looked left and right. Does this thing have EMS function?

"Don't underestimate it. The carving on the head is the three blue birds of the Queen Mother. It only takes a moment to travel a thousand miles. Don't break it for me. I asked Lu Ban to come here after a long time. If it is broken, there is nowhere to find it again." Go." Xiaoyue wiped his mouth, and picked up his heavy bag full of stones, "I'm leaving, don't worry about the red line, wrap it on me! 88!"

Mai Mai watched him push open the store door and run away, feeling a little heavy in her heart, as if a stone had been crushed.He took out his mobile phone to call Gui Zier, Gui Zier was busy there, he didn't know where to play, and it was not good for Xiaomai to call him out to make cakes at this time, just said a few words and then hung up.Mai Mai thought about it, and decided to take some raw materials home to make. Anyway, there is a small oven at home. Besides, the box is only big, and it can be filled with two or three cakes, so it is fresher.

It will be relatively quiet in the community. The cleaners are sweeping the ubiquitous firecracker debris on the floor, and a few children are playing with a dog.Mai Mai walked up the stairs and saw Zhou Qi and a young man standing at the door of his house, leaning against the wall and talking.Zhou Qi grinned when he saw Maizi: "Maizi, where did you go? Where's the young master? Come on, let me introduce you. This is Liangzi, Dongfangliang. Liangzi, this is Maizi."

Mai Mai shook hands with Dongfang Liang, feeling startled.Dongfang Liang's hand was cold, and it was as delicate and smooth as a piece of jade in his hand, but there was no warmth at all.Mai Mai's own hands are lukewarm, and Shao Jing's hands are always dry and warm, but Dongfang Liang is completely different.To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the soft texture of the skin, you'd think you were holding a dead body.Mai Mai looked at him quietly: Dongfangliang has handsome eyebrows and eyes, but he wears a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, which not only cover the eyebrows and eyes, but also make his complexion too fair, and even his lips are light-colored, which looks very similar. Looks too healthy.

Zhou Qi looked directly behind Mai Mai: "Where's the young master? Are you not together?"

"Shao Jing has gone to Xiao's house, and he won't be back until later, so please sit down first." Mai Mai opened the door, busy pouring water and making tea.Fortunately, Zhou Qi was used to coming here, so he sat down carelessly and greeted Dongfang Liang.The wheat is brewed with tea, and dried fruits and snacks are brought out.Zhou Qi picked up the cup, sniffed it, and said with a smile, "This is what you drink, right? Xinyang Maojian."

Mai Mai was embarrassed: "Shao Jing drank it. I don't understand tea, and I'm not used to drinking it."

Dongfang Liang has been looking at Mai, and then he said slowly: "Mr. Mai is a good friend of Jingcun?"

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, then gouged him out: "Liangzi, are you confused? This is the person the young master is looking for."

Dongfang Liang was not angry when he gave him such a gouged look, but just smiled: "Mr. Mai is a Geng this year?"

Mai Mai felt that there was something in his words, and replied, "It's 25."

Dongfang Liang nodded: "Jing Cun has a bad temper, maybe he wronged Mr. Mai?"

Zhou Qi asked strangely: "Liangzi, why are you being so polite? Besides, what kind of mind are you getting into about the couple? Let me tell you, don't look at the temper of the elder and younger, Maizi may be able to control him."

Dongfang Liang smiled again, but still nodded.Mai Mai thought it was very strange, and Dongfang Liang's every move seemed to him to have some meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.It was a bit cold in the room, Mai Mai was thinking about changing a cup of tea, when she heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, she felt relieved, and sure enough, the door opened after a while, and Shao Jing walked in with a bag of things: "Mai Mai—Liangzi? Qi? Why are you here so soon?"

Zhou Qi stood up and laughed: "Do you think we came too soon?"

Shao Jing snorted, and threw the things in his hand on the table: "It's not yet the fifth day, how did you two escape?"

Dongfang Liang and Zhou Qi are obviously used to his lack of concern. Zhou Qi chuckled, and Dongfang Liang also smiled: "Of course he ran away secretly. My old man is not at home for the New Year this year, and he went to Zuo's house in Sichuan."

Shao Jing was a little surprised: "Sichuan Zuo's family? What's the end of the year?"

Dongfang Liang became serious: "The Zuo family is fighting fiercely now. You know, the head of the Zuo family is still Mr. Zuo, and his body has long been out of shape."

Shao Jing sat down and said, "I know that. Didn't the most talented son of Mr. Zuo die from taking drugs? Actually, I heard that there is a man named Zuo Jian in their generation who is quite capable. Isn't he a name in the Demon Supervision Association?"

Zhou Qi cheered up: "That's right, this Zuo Jian is the son of Zuo Xinquan who died of drug addiction as you mentioned. But he didn't want to become a teacher and became a drug police officer."

Shao Jing was thoughtful: "That's right. His father died of drug addiction, so it's normal for him to become an anti-drug policeman."

Dongfang Liang nodded: "Yes. Just because he went to become an anti-narcotics policeman, the Zuo family can't find a suitable person to take over the position of the head of the family. You know, the Zuo family has gradually declined for more than ten generations, and now the family relies on The old man Zuo supported him. Recently, his health is really failing, and he has to find the next generation of patriarchs, and the family has started to fight. In terms of ability, his third son should be the best, but that person is very light. I like him. I didn’t expect that in order to fight for the position of the Patriarch, he would find someone from outside to help, and he even found someone of unknown origin. It is said that he is a distant branch of the Zuo family, but no one knows if it is.”

Shao Jing frowned: "How can outsiders intervene in matters like the head of the family! But saying that he is an offshoot of the Zuo family, whether it is true or not, is an excuse. Your old man is indeed an outsider, so he has to come forward ?”

Zhou Qi hurriedly said, "Isn't it because the Taoist book of the Zuo family was lost?"

Shao Jing was taken aback: "The Taoist book of the Zuo family? How could you lose that?"

Zhou Qi shrugged: "Then who knows? If it weren't for this, how could Old Man Dongfang go? Even your old man is planning to go out after the third year of junior high school. Of course, I heard that he is not only going to Sichuan, but also planning to go to Sichuan." Come to Binhai to see you." As he spoke, he winked at Mai Mai.

Mai Mai has been sitting by the side, unable to say a word.He could see that Shao Jing and Dongfang Liang and Zhou Qi were talking happily, but what they were talking about was something he couldn't get into at all.He didn't know the people they were talking about, and he had never heard of what they were talking about. The two people lived in completely different circles of life.

Shao Jing looked back at Mai Mai, with an unconscious smile on his face, and stretched out his hands to rub Mai Mai's hair: "Grandpa will come as soon as he comes, don't make Mai Mai so nervous."

Zhou Qi laughed a few times: "I'm just reminding Maizi, you also know Mr. Zhang's temper, it's really... Ah, by the way, Mr. Zhang came out with the second young master this time. I said, You should also be careful, the second young master has worked harder than you, but his talent is not as good as yours, but he is holding back his energy, if you don't work hard, be careful that the patriarch will not be able to take your turn in the future."

Shao Jing waved his hand nonchalantly: "Whatever. By the way, how is the old man?"

Zhou Qi chuckled: "Young master, you can tell me, if you are concerned, just make a phone call and go back..."

Mai Mai felt that it was impossible for him to find a chance to intervene, so he whispered to Shao Jing, "I'm going to the kitchen to make something, you guys talk first."

Shao Jing and Dongfang Liang also hadn't seen each other for a year, and they had a lot to say, so they nodded and went with Mai Mai.Wheat came into the kitchen and started making cakes.There are many kinds of cakes. Although Xiaomai has learned some theoretical knowledge from Ye Ding, he can't really make much.He planned to make brownie cakes, and Ye Ding got good dark chocolate through the school teacher's relationship. Besides, this kind of cake doesn't need whipped cream, so it's easier to make at home.

The sweet smell of the cake gradually came out from the oven. The three of them were still talking and laughing happily in the living room. Mai Mai's ears are very good now. He could hear everything they said clearly, but it was useless because they couldn't understand at all. .The names of people popped up one by one, mixed with some words such as Qimen Dunjia and Lianshanyi, which made him dizzy.

The cake is finally ready to be baked.Mai Mai stretched out his head and took a look into the living room. The three of them were lying on the edge of the table, swinging some copper coins around. Zhou Qi and Shao Jing obviously had different opinions. They held a copper coin with four hands, Fighting back and forth, Dongfang Liang smiled and said nothing.

Mai Mai took a look and went back to the kitchen, cut up the cake, put a large piece in the box, and put the rest on a plate to take out.Just in the time of turning around, he looked back again, and the box was gone.Although Xiaomai had thought that this box must have some supernatural powers, he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he was stunned for a few seconds before walking out with other cakes.

Zhou Qi smelled the aroma of the cake, gave up the copper coin, and came over to grab one: "Oh, I ate so much on the plane at noon, I'm really hungry."

Mai Mai smiled and asked Shao Jing in a low voice, "Should I go out to eat, or cook at home?"

Shao Jing thought for a while: "Go out and eat, don't look at Dongfang Liang's thin body, he eats a lot, cooking is too troublesome."

Zhou Qi laughed, but Dongfang Liang smiled without saying a word, and did not refute.Mai Mai was a little apprehensive, he always felt that Dongfang Liang looked at him a little strangely, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.

Shao Jing picked up his coat: "Let's go, eat first, and then count when you come back. Let me tell you, Zhou Qi, whoever loses will drink tonight. If not, it will be an all-nighter!"

Zhou Qi was not to be outdone: "Forget it! Maizi, you will testify when the time comes, so don't hold back!"
