Is the boss fine today?

Lao Xing entered the door with a pack of herbs.

"What does that kid want you for?"

"fine."

Situ was wiping his hair, with his eyes closed, he smelled a smell of grass juice.

"That medicine again?"

"There is one pack left, let's use it up, Tufangzi, maybe it will be good when it's used up." Lao Xing weighed the medicine pack, the medicine looked no bigger than a palm, but the weight was quite heavy, "Find a time, let's Go to the hospital in City B and have a look."

Situ was obviously not interested, "Let's talk about it."

Lao Xing also said: "A batch of goods was flooded, and Ah Bai was going to die of anger."

"That's his own fault." Situ said coldly, "Aren't you looking for trouble in such a heavy rain?"

Lao Xing glanced at him and stopped mentioning this matter.No one knows Situ's temper better than him.

He put the medicine bag on the table, and turned to the topic just now: "Tan Yue asked Zhao Zhao to borrow a gun, I think there is something wrong with him."

"What's wrong?"

"No normal person would borrow a gun."

"He saw something dirty, maybe he thought that someone would trouble him." Situ Wei Tan Yue explained.Although he also agreed with Lao Xing's opinion, Tan Yue borrowed guns to kill people, he was even crazier than Situ imagined.Moreover, it would be fine if he was looking for Lao Xing, but the person he was looking for was actually Zhao Zhao.Situ didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's the use of keeping him? The origin is unknown."

Situ frowned: "He's not a policeman."

"Okay." Lao Xing squinted at him in surprise, "Since he came to the inn, you seem to be a little more cheerful."

"Cook him a bowl of noodles. He has been out for a day and probably hasn't eaten. I'm asleep." Situ turned his back to Lao Xing, put the Rubik's Cube on the bedside table, and lay down on the bed to rest.He didn't realize how surprised Lao Xing's expression was.

Lao Xing said nothing, he closed the door.Through the door panel, he fell into deep thought.

Situ cared too much about the conversation.Needless to say, there must be other plans.However, Tan Yue is a thorny guy, the first reaction when encountering something is a guy who kills with a gun, and keeping him by Situ's side may cause sparks to hit the earth.

Lao Xing didn't like him.

Even so, he still paced to the kitchen and poured boiling water to prepare for it.

Situ was already lying on the bed, and the spotlight of the bedside lamp shone on his slender fingers flipping the Rubik's cube.

At the same time, after taking a shower, Tan Yue grinned and picked out the two tender blisters under his feet.

Today's trip made him exhausted, Tan Yue fell down and lost a kiss, in exchange for only one footprint, but it only increased Tan Yue's suspicion of Situ.

Tan Yue decided to sum up today as a waste of time.

He realized that unless he could see the living god take off his mask with his own eyes, he would never know whether Situ and the living god were the same person.

But how can the living god take off his mask?

Tan Yue thought about this, and took out a small knife under the pillow. Under the moonlight, the tip of the knife shone with a charming and sharp silver light, like the triangular earrings of a silver girl, like the ring on Situ's hand, like the dazzling white light on the operating table .

He walked to the window and was about to untie his pajamas when he was suddenly attracted by the scenery outside the house.

Outside the window, the night is dark, the sky is cloudy, and there are a few muffled thunders, and it will rain before it rains.An outer wall separates the inn's yard from the noisy street. In the night, the yellow wall stands quietly, snuggling up with the tall and strong locust tree in the yard, with its waist straight.However, what was surprising was that a head popped out of the wall parallel to Tanyue's window.

Small head, black hair, with two braids.If you look closely, you can see that there are still two hands on the top of the wall, pulling the bricks tightly, and the head slowly rises from behind the wall.Tan Yue saw a pair of big eyes, a nose, and a mouth with clenched teeth...a girl's face, which was black and red due to the force of holding her breath.Tan Yue couldn't tell her age, maybe five or six or seven or eight years old, he was not good at distinguishing children of this age, they all looked similar.

The girl stretched out a leg, turned her body upwards slowly, and finally landed on the top of the wall.

Tan Yue looked at it with relish for a while, and considering that they were separated by about seven or eight meters, he shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Be careful."

The voice was a little lower than he expected, and the girl didn't seem to hear it.She was still lying on the wall, with one hand stretched out, and she reached into the locust tree next to the wall.The locust tree grows luxuriantly, the branches and leaves are densely packed, and the light in the yard is extremely dark, so it looks as if the girl's hand has been swallowed by the locust tree.

Tan Yue leaned on the window and looked around.He squinted his eyes, and managed to see a rhombus-shaped piece of paper hanging on the locust tree through the moonlight.There are also several threads hanging from the four corners of the rhombus.

what is this?

Kite?

She climbed the wall to fetch a kite at night?

Tan Yue dropped the knife and went downstairs.He passed the kitchen, where Lao Xing was chopping green onions.

In the yard, there was a trembling girl lying on the top of the high wall. She was fishing for a kite in the branches like a monkey fishing for the moon. It seemed that she couldn't reach it.

"Go down, I'll find someone to pick a kite for you." He thought of Lao Xing, whose stature was perfect for picking a kite.

The girl's hands stopped, her eyes widened, and her face became even redder.

She said something, but the more she talked, she couldn't understand it, and it was in dialect again.

"Go down, don't fall." Tan Yue staggered to the wall, the blisters on the soles of his feet hurt a little, so he could only think about one foot and said, "Is the kite yours?"

The girl looked at him condescendingly, with a pair of big sparkling eyes.Tan Yue suddenly felt that she looked familiar.

They have seen it.Tan Yue remembered again, she was the little girl who made paper flowers in the funeral shop, and he even took a photo.

He said, "You..."

The sky suddenly exploded with a thunder, and silver light rolled out of the clouds.The girl was so frightened that she screamed and fell from the outside.Tan Yue didn't react, he was still immersed in the memory of the giant paper figurine, he heard the thunder and screams, and when he looked up, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

"what!"

The girl screamed again.

Tan Yue, who was pressed on the grass, didn't say a word. He was a little dazed by the blow. He fell twice today.The girl hurriedly got up from him, and just stepped on his arm, the more she talked, the tears were about to flow out.

The girl was intact, jumping to the side like a rabbit again, rubbing the hem of her clothes guiltily.

Tan Yue also got up.He shook his left hand, and the elbow was excruciatingly painful.If he was the only one in the yard, he would definitely cry on the spot.

"I'm sorry." The girl spoke perfectly in Mandarin.

Talking more and more tearfully, his eyebrows frowned, and he just looked at her like this, scaring the girl back a few steps:

"What's your name?"

"Tooth."

Isn't Yaduo the name of the nearby river?

A bolt of lightning struck across the sky, illuminating Tan Yue's bewildered face.

In the darkness, a drop of rain fell on his face.The girl looked up at the sky and said, "It's raining, you should go back quickly. I don't want the kite anymore." She said she was going to climb the wall again.

Tan Yue stood up, grabbed the girl and wobbled back to the eaves like a cripple, he reached out to pat the grass leaves on his body, Yaduo also patted.

When Lao Xing entered the yard, he was taken aback: "Where did you recruit the girl? What's wrong with you? Did you fall down?"

"What?" Tan Yue complained, "She fell off the wall, help her pick up a kite and take her home."

Lao Xing chatted with the girl in the local dialect.The more the conversation fell on deaf ears, the more he limped into the hall, ready to go upstairs to change clothes and sleep.Situ didn't know when he was alarmed, and the bead curtain lifted, blocking Tan Yue's way.

"Fall down?" Situ Xun approached him with the voice, his stern face flickered in front of Tan Yue's eyes, and then he froze.

"No." Tan Yue didn't intend to mention this matter, he hurriedly undressed to take a shower and rest, "It's fine."

"you……"

"Stop talking, I'm tired." Tan Yue sighed, "Give me a break, I'm going to sleep."

The rattling sound of the slippers falling on Situ's ears was as harsh as his perfunctory words. As the conversation went upstairs, he didn't notice how gloomy Situ's expression was.

Tan Yue did not witness how Yaduo returned home in the end.When I got up in the morning, the kite in the yard was gone.

Lao Xing sat behind the counter and flipped through the ledger. He said, "Her parents are working outside, and she lives at his uncle's house. I called her uncle to pick her up."

"You still have her uncle's phone number."

Lao Xing said, "Her uncle wants to apologize to you."

"No need." Tan Yue waved his hands, "I'll go out for a while."

"Where are you going? How many times have you asked for leave within a few days of work?"

"It's all right in the store."

Tan Yue didn't wait for Lao Xing to continue to criticize him, and ran away in a hurry.

When he woke up in the morning, his hands were swollen and painful even if he did not exert himself.Tan Yue found a clinic nearby, and the diagnosis was that his left arm was fractured. The doctor fixed him with a splint, which was wrapped like a white bomb.

Back at the inn, the lobby on the first floor was crowded.He didn't think it was noisy when there were only four people living in the inn before, but now Zhao Zhao, Lao Xing, Yi Yun, Xia Sheng, and a middle-aged man with a fresh face, Ya Duo from the funeral shop, a few people are chatting in the hall Baba to each person, it's like a vegetable market.

"It's so lively." Talking more confused, "What are you all doing crowded on the first floor?"

The middle-aged man who had never met before turned his head and stood up. He was very tall and had a fierce face. He looked similar to Lao Xing and also looked like a bodyguard.

The middle-aged man stared at Tan Yue closely, and said in non-standard Mandarin: "I'm really sorry about what happened last night."

Yaduo who was sitting beside him also stood up timidly.

"It's all right."

There was a bag on the table, and the more I talked, I guessed it was an apology supplement or something.

"Your hand was broken?" Zhao Zhao, who was eating melon seeds at another table, asked him, "So unlucky?"

Tan Yue ignored him and told Lao Xing that he went back to his room first.Suddenly Situ came out from the back door, and Tan Yue noticed that the eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly lit up.Tan Yue immediately turned a corner, found a chair and sat down.

The middle-aged man greeted him with a smile. He spoke a long sentence in dialect, and the more he talked, the more he couldn't understand it.He had no choice but to ask Ya Duo who was sitting next to him: "What is your uncle talking about?"

Yaduo replied: "Long time no see. Your eyes are broken again?"

Talk more and more interested.According to this, Situ's eyes are good and bad?

Yaduo was extra conscious, and translated the chat between Situ and her uncle sentence by sentence simultaneously.

"Is your niece okay?" Situ avoided answering.

"She's fine. Is that young man your buddy?"

"He's not, he's a tourist."

"He was injured, and I feel very sorry. I have to treat him to a meal to apologize, and you can come too."

"It's not a big deal, you can go."

The middle-aged man came to the door to apologize, but he was extraordinarily attentive to Situ, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink.However, Situ's attitude was very cold.

What is the relationship between them?

Tan Yue asked Ya Duo, "Do you know Situ? Who is he?"

Yaduo suddenly became vigilant and sat up straight, "Why do you ask like that?"

Her attitude is very strange.

"Let me ask, what are you nervous about?"

Yaduo pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Of course I know him. He and my uncle... know each other. I used to see Situ often. Are you a tourist?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Otherwise, you think I'm a local?"

Yaduo stared at him, with a blunt tone, "I see."

What does she know?

The more inexplicable it gets.

The middle-aged man exchanged a few words with Situ and left with Yaduo.

Situ didn't look very happy, and the Rubik's Cube spun and creaked.Tan Yue didn't know why he was angry, so he sat obediently behind the counter and flipped through the ledger.Neither of them spoke a word all morning.

At noon, they chatted and ate quickly, and they had to go out again after wiping their mouths.Situ called him to stop: "Are you going out with your hands broken?"

"It's not a broken leg."

"I see soon." Situ smoked a cigarette, his eyes were foggy, "I told you last night, don't go out."

It sounds like a warning, but Tan Yue doesn't care about his broken legs.

He said: "I'm going to find Yaduo. The photo I took last time has been developed, and I will send her a photo."

Situ couldn't deny it, and his tone softened, "Come back soon."

The funeral parlor is on the left side of the intersection, and the giant paper man has disappeared.Yaduo sat in the shop and made paper flowers, the red scarf on her chest fluttering in the wind.

Tan Yue took out the photo and handed it to her.

Yaduo pointed to the paper figurine and said, "It's unlucky."

"Then throw it away."

"Is there anything else?" Yaduo spoke in a young and mature manner, and her tone was very similar to her uncle, "I have to go to school in the afternoon, and I will go to take a nap soon."

"Did you have something to say this morning?"

Yaduo shook her hand, and she cut off the stems and leaves of the paper flower.

Her face was not very good-looking, "How long have you lived in Situ's shop?"

"More than two weeks."

"You have finished watching the attractions that should be visited, and you should go."

"why?"

There were leisurely footsteps outside the funeral parlor, Yaduo threw the flowers away, with a flustered expression, her fingers quickly wrote on the back of Tan Yue's hand.

Little... heart... him.

Just after finishing the last stroke, a male voice came from behind. "Oh, it's you?"

As the conversation turned, there was a tall middle-aged man standing in front of the store, Yaduo's uncle.Yaduo picked up a paper flower and lowered her head to weave it, and asked in a low voice, "Has uncle had lunch?"

The middle-aged man asked: "You are here..."

Tan Yue showed him the photo, and quickly found a reason to leave.

Today is a rare sunny day, the sun is warm and harmonious.The river was surging in the distance, and the women were hammering and washing clothes by the river, laughing and laughing.

Talking more and more doubts, he turned back step by step.

Can the warnings of seven or eight-year-old girls be trusted?Why did she say that?what does she know

watch out for him...

Who is he?

Yaduo's uncle?Lao Xing?Or... Situ?
