Strange Wine and Crane Records

"Hello."

At this moment, a strange voice came from the phone. Although Li Qi didn't know who the owner of the voice was, she had been waiting for him.

"excuse me……"

"You have to remember what I'm going to say next. Bring your simple luggage at ten o'clock tomorrow and wait for me at Lane 56, Taohuawu North Lane, Gusu District. I won't wait when it's too late."

"Wait……"

Immediately hung up, Li Xi called again, and the landline of 21358904 was picked up by someone else.

Her aunt left a note a month ago and said that if she didn't come back today after a month, someone would contact her and she would know what to do.

Sure enough, someone is calling now. I'll find out what's going on tomorrow after I have a look.

Two months ago, Li Qi graduated and came to Suzhou to join her aunt to help manage her pawnshop business.

Her hometown is in a small southern city, and her family and relatives are all employees with no ambitions.

Only my aunt, a woman with a mutation in the blood of the family, went outside alone, lived a vigorous life, and finally chose to retire in Suzhou.

My aunt is in her fifties and has never been married. Although she seldom comes back, she loves Li Qi doubly every time she comes back.As soon as Li Qi graduated, she cried and shouted to help.And Li Qi didn't have anything to do, so he packed his luggage and left.

After Li Qi passed, my aunt was not free during the day, so she arranged for Li Qi to work as a youth hostel owner in an old house, manage the youth hostel during the day, and come to the pawnshop at night to learn business and chat with her.

This house is a typical Gusu house, with white walls and black tiles. When you open the back door, you can see a slowly flowing river. You sleep until you wake up naturally every day. When you have free time, you can chat with the young people and water the flowers and plants. It is really a comfortable place to live. .

But a month ago, Li Qi was at a loss because of her aunt's sudden departure. Li Qi took off the Youth Hostel and asked Uncle Qing, but he also said that he didn't know. Looking at all kinds of inexplicable objects in a daze.Until today someone contacted me.

Li Qi packed up some clothes and toiletries, and set off the next day with a green outdoor bag.

There are many old houses with small bridges and flowing water in the old city of Suzhou. Walking by the river or looking from the bridge, you can see potted flowers and plants, or bed sheets fluttering in the sun.

Walking and walking, I counted the number and arrived at the address that person said yesterday. The wooden door here was closed, only the foam box next to it said "Express please put here", and there was no one there.Six minutes before ten o'clock, Li Xi began to wonder where his aunt had gone.

The reason why I am so worried about her is because every night when I am called to help the pawn shop, the guests come in strange ways, and the pawned things are also strange.

It is okay to say that it is okay to be some watches, jewelry, real estate certificates, automobile securities, and it is understandable for the prodigal son to be some antiques.

But for the black or red gold pills, some ordinary-looking flowers and plants, and some inexplicable jars, she accepted them all, and gave them a lot of money.

So Li Qi was afraid that she would mess with something unclean.

Li Qi asked my aunt the reason for collecting these things, and she said that she would tell me when it became "deadly", otherwise it would be nothing but joy.

Li Qi looked at his watch, it was ten o'clock, and there was no one there.

Seeing a bell on the door, he pressed a few times.Then check the mobile phone navigation again, did you come to the wrong place?Hearing footsteps coming from the door, the door opened.

The visitor looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a head of exploding yellow hair, shirtless, showing a thin upper body. He looked like a young and Dangerous boy. He whistled, "Beauty, add a WeChat." Embarrassing Li Qi, a majestic and quiet voice came from inside, "Huang Mao." After hearing this, Huang Mao put away his teasing heart, and said, "Come in."

When they entered, they could smell the strong aroma of coffee. A woman with black hair like ink and only wearing a white shirt was facing away from them.The ankle bones of a pair of white and straight long legs protruded neatly and slenderly.She turned her head when she heard the sound, her hair was a little messy, she should have just gotten up.

She only wore an open shirt, her black hair fell to her chest, her skin was translucent white, and her whole body was as pale as a sculpture in an Italian museum. If it wasn't for the subtle truths, they could all be taken away exhibition.

The sun shone on her forehead, and there was a purple cloud pattern in the center of her forehead, which added a sense of coquettishness to her pale temperament.

The thin blood vessels at the temples are as warm and clear as turquoise, and the tiny cold hairs are dyed golden velvet by the sun, and below are her eyes... Her lazy eyes turned to look at Li Qi.

Li Qixin missed a beat and looked away.

Just when Li Qi shyly avoided seeing her, Xiu Wufeng silently looked at her pink and fair cheeks when she turned her head, and the slightly protruding neck bone on her slender neck, then held up the white cup and took a sip.

"Sit down." Her voice sounded softly.

Li Qi sat down as he said, rubbed his hands, looked at her but didn't dare to look at her.

Turning her eyeballs back and forth like a hide-and-seek, the flowers and plants outside the door and this woman flashed and changed, making her heart messy.

Xiu Wufeng came over and sat opposite her, folding his legs gracefully.

The shirt didn't button a single button, but the long hair was draped down as a cover, so the fairer breasts and waist could be seen from time to time, so Li Xi didn't dare to look at her at all.

Xiu Wufeng watched Li Qi silently while drinking coffee.Not only did Li Qi feel uncomfortable looking at her, but he was also uncomfortable being seen, "That... yesterday said it was..."

Someone opened the door outside, they looked over together, a black-haired man with glasses came in with food, he was a handsome man, he was tall and slender, but he was wearing loose plain blue clothes, which didn't match his gentle scum's appearance.

He put the things on the table, pushed his glasses, and asked Li Qi: "You are Li Qi, I will talk about Li Meiqun later. Have you had breakfast? Here are some noodle soups."

Li Meiqun is Li Qi's aunt.

The voice was exactly the same as yesterday's phone call, and Li Qi politely declined the breakfast invitation.The three of them began to feast on the white air of breakfast.

When answering the phone yesterday, Li Qi thought it was a very urgent situation. Seeing how they were eating breakfast leisurely, it shouldn't be too serious.

"That's right, we are also looking for Li Meiqun," the man with glasses said to me while holding the noodle soup, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Wenyin, and I am a Taoist priest and a wage earner." Taoist priest?Li Qi thought to himself that the people my aunt met were all kinds of strange people.

"This beauty is my boss, Xiu Wufeng. This yellow hair... just call it Huang Mao."

"Hey, did you forget my name?"

"Um, here's another noodle soup, do you want more?"

"Don't change the subject, boss, just look at him."

Xiu Wufeng said blankly: "Yes, eat more as you grow taller."

Huang Mao suddenly understood something again, "Boss, you won't also..."

Xiu Wufeng said: "We've discussed the business." She wiped her mouth, looked at Li Qi and said, "Li Meiqun mortgaged you to us, you know about it."

Ah, how could Li Qi know about this, she shook her head.

"She owed us something, and she promised to pay it back in a month, but she ran away," Xiu Wufeng narrowed his eyes, and the other two didn't move much, the atmosphere sank to the extreme here. "She said that you are her most precious niece. If she doesn't keep her promise, you will be at my disposal."

"Let it be dealt with" Li Qi's head tightened when he heard it.

Huang Mao came over and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we're not bad people, we won't do anything to you, it's just that we are short of people recently, so we just let you work part-time."

Zhang Wenyin said: "Also, we will not give up looking for Li Meiqun, you are also very concerned about her whereabouts."

Li Qi actually didn't have anything she wanted to do, it was the same everywhere, she quickly accepted the request, but the only thing she cared about was her aunt, "Did something happen to my aunt?"

Xiu Wufeng smiled and said, "She? She's very smart. She won't hurt herself by herself. You'd better pray that I find her first, or that she comes back to find you."

Hearing these words, Li Qi's heart skipped a beat, "Are many people looking for her too?" What will they do if they find her...

"Well, she's too daring to do something." The admiration and sarcasm in Xiu Wufeng's eyes were fleeting. She stood up and said to Zhang Wenyin, "I'll go there first, and we'll meet later." Zhang Wenyin nodded, and she left.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Wenyin cleared the table, and said to Huang Mao: "Okay, you go out to do errands. There is no money to use, so hurry up and make money. I have sent you the address."

"Yeah! She!" Huang Mao looked at the address on the phone, and dragged Li Qi out of the house in a hurry.

They still took a taxi if they didn’t have money, so they followed the navigation for a while, and it was still in the old city, a piece of Gusu housing, but there seemed to be almost no one here, the alley was deserted, and the doors of the houses were closed tightly.At this time, a large dark cloud covered the top of the head, as if it was dusk all of a sudden.There were also a few creepy meows from the corner.

Li Qi followed behind Huang Mao and said, "Have you arrived yet... There must be no ghosts here."

"We're here to catch ghosts."

"what?"

"It's here."

They came to a closed door.The milk crate on the left has been painted over with dust.Huang Mao put on gloves, searched in boxes and milk crates, and came to the conclusion: "There is no key."

He thought so simply.

He dragged Li Qi to a low wall, there was a gap in it, just enough for a person to shrink in, "Come on, step on my shoulder, go in and open the door for me to come in."

"Is there really a ghost?" Li Qi didn't know what to do.

Huang Mao looked at Li Qi's timidity, and said with disgust: "Then I'll go in first, can you give me a hand?"

Li Qi nodded, she likes to run alone, her body is not bad, such trivial matters should be fine, she squatted down, and sent the yellow hair up.

Huang Mao sat on the wall and gave her a thumbs up, "Gu! Zuo!"

Listening to his poor English, Li Qi smiled and went to the door obediently waiting for him to open the door.

She thought it would be soon, but after waiting for almost 10 minutes, Huang Mao still didn't come to open the door.At the same time, the creepy meow was getting closer and closer.
