Our room is next door to Baikai. When we entered the room, we sat on the same bed. I lit a cigarette and waited for Qin Yiheng to speak.
I reckoned that what he said was difficult to understand, and I even opened a can of Red Bull to drink it.
Qin Yiheng sighed and asked, "Where do you want me to start?"
I said, "Let's not talk too far away, let's just talk about the nearest bathing center. Where did you go that night?"
Qin Yiheng said "ah" with a surprised expression, and asked, "Did you see me in the bathing center?"
I got angry immediately, and really wanted to throw the cigarette butt over, I said: "Fucking grandson, can you be more dedicated to your job?!"
He comforted me and said: "Don't get excited, it's really hard to explain what happened in the middle. But if you really see me, then you must have seen a ghost."
If this shit was in the comics, my head would definitely be smoking with anger, but seeing Qin Yiheng's calm tone, I was still afraid of blaming him, so I had to be patient and let him continue talking.
Qin Yiheng posted it mysteriously, saying: "Bai Kai is unfathomable, you have to be careful, I think he may be here to replace Yuan Zhen, so we have to guard against it."
Now I couldn't bear it anymore, even if what he said was true, I didn't want to listen to it-this was obviously an interruption.
I stood up, nodded to Qin Yiheng, turned around and wanted to slam the door and leave.
Suddenly, I heard the wall of the room being slammed several times. From the sound, it should be the room next door that was opened in vain.
Qin Yiheng and I were a little dazed, is this fucking going to break through the wall or something? With such a big movement, did Bai Kai hit him with his body? Want to commit suicide by hitting the wall like a drunk
Before I could think too much, Qin Yiheng yelled: "No, something will happen to Bai Kai!" He opened the door first and rushed out!
I hurriedly followed behind, but Qin Yiheng didn't stop in front of the white open door, but ran out along the corridor, and disappeared in an instant.
Now I'm in a difficult situation, standing outside Bai Kai's door, I can hear the movement inside more clearly, the bang bang bang is endless.
It was too late to chase Qin Yiheng, so I had no choice but to knock on the door that was opened in vain.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he knocked on the door, the sound inside stopped. After waiting two seconds for the door to open, Bai Kai dragged me in at once. Before I could say anything, he immediately warned me in a low voice: "Don't move, Qin Yiheng has a problem, if you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."
In this way, we have caught up with the spy war. I nodded and simply sat down on the spot. In fact, I am no longer interested in what Bai Kai said, I just feel a little sad that Qin Yiheng can still play like this.
In the past few years, I have seen too many people cheating each other for the sake of money. I didn't expect that my business would go to the end, and it would reach this point for no apparent reason.
Bai Kai let me go, and lifted the quilts piled up on the bed. In the middle of the bed was the little object he used to pretend to be a grasshopper.
As soon as the quilt was lifted, the grasshopper yelled slowly, but the sound was not loud, probably because he had been covering it just now, and he was a little weak.
I asked Bai Kai: "What do you mean?"
He put the grasshopper back into his arms and said, "Do you fucking know how much I have tried to save you? Just now the grasshopper started barking, and I'm afraid I'll be heard by you, so I can only keep beating the wall to cover up the sound." .”
I took a closer look, and sure enough, Bai Kai's hand seemed to be swollen. I was even more surprised, and asked: "What do you mean by the grasshopper?"
Bai smiled and said, "If it wasn't for me, you probably would never see this thing in your life. It's called 'Heavenly Grasshopper', and it was given to the emperor in the early years!"
He probably looked at me with a blank face, so he continued to give me a brief explanation. It's easy to use dirty words when talking in Bai Kai, which makes people uncomfortable, but I still get the general idea.
To put it bluntly, this "heavenly grasshopper" is the leader of a group of grasshoppers. Only when the sky grasshopper calls, other grasshoppers dare to call out. Strictly speaking, "Heavenly Grasshopper" is not just as simple as the leader, and its ability is not limited to taking the lead in calling. In Bai Kai's words - "This thing is a fucking fetish!"
In the early years, especially during the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, there has always been a tradition called Wanchao Lai Dynasty. The word "草" is also the common word for "国", which means that before the emperor goes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for the first time on New Year's Day, thousands of grasshoppers will be placed in the entire hall. Whether there are 10,000 or not, I don't know, anyway, the number is very considerable. Then, when the emperor stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the eunuchs had to think of a way to make all the grasshoppers scream together and pay New Year greetings to the emperor.
This sounds simple, but in practice it is very difficult. First of all, the first day of the new year is a cold winter, and it is not easy to survive and breed insects like grasshoppers; secondly, it is also very particular about manipulating when they sing. It is said that by using the temperature change, the stove is lit in the hall, and when the temperature rises, the grasshopper will naturally call. In Bai Kai's words, in fact, this is just the surface, and the real mystery lies in this day.
There is only one way to make the katydid chirp—the katydid only calls when it is fighting for food. According to the legend, the day grasshopper only eats one thing, and that is ghosts.
There was an unwritten tradition in prisons in the old days. Some prisoners were not allowed to celebrate the New Year and had to be killed before the New Year's Eve. On the surface, this is because they are afraid of delaying their age, so that these people miss the time to start the road. In fact, secretly, the souls of these people after death have become a delicious meal for the grasshopper.
Legend has it that when these prisoners were killed, their tongues were cut out, their eyes were blindfolded, and their mouths and anus were stuffed with red paper. The reason for doing this is that first of all, this is an unreasonable job in itself, and the eunuchs also have concerns when doing this. I am afraid that there is some negligence. After the prisoner dies, he will report it to the king of hell. Of course, this is just a baseless worry. The blindfold is also to prevent the prisoners from seeing who instigated or executed the execution, lest they will entangle and retaliate in the future. This is also very similar to the modern execution of the death penalty. It is also necessary to be blindfolded, which is actually the same reason.
And stuffing the red paper is to hope that the last breath of the prisoner will be blocked by the red paper. Then on the first day of the new year, the eunuchs burned these red papers in the stove, and the prisoner's last breath was truly exhaled. When the grasshopper smelled the filth, it naturally took the lead in screaming.
Although Bai Kai's speech was not as vivid as Qin Yiheng's, at least he still had real skills. After listening to it, I was taken aback. So, did Grasshopper see a ghost
It means that Qin Yiheng is a filth
But along the way, I really didn't see what was wrong with him, so I asked Bai Kai: "You didn't bark all the way, why are you suddenly barking now?"
Bai Kai said: "I said brother, do you think I lied to you? It was sleeping before, but it just woke up now."
I thought about it for a while, and I really can't believe what Bai Kai said. Just now he was obviously pretending to be drunk, besides, there was so much filth in that house, and he didn't hear anything from him. Perhaps Qin Yiheng suddenly discovered something, or was lured away by Bai Kai's design.
I looked at Bai Kai, his expression didn't look like he was lying. I sat on the chair, and continued to talk to Bai Kai, while keeping an eye on the movement outside the door. Based on my understanding of Qin Yiheng, I should be able to hear what he said when he passed by.
Bai Kai also sat across from me, the situation was the same as Qin Yiheng and I just now.
He seemed to organize his words again, and suddenly said: "Well, I'll tell you something too, as if I paid back the favor you received from me in the house. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
When I heard it, I was still a little excited. Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not, I listened first and then said it.
Bai Kaidao: "I know you and Qin Yiheng have been doing business together for so long, have you noticed a problem, why does he have to take you?"
I was very upset when I heard that, damn, isn’t this saying that I’m useless? In our business, it seems as simple as drafting a contract and estimating the housing price, but this also requires high professional quality, and how many times I have worked hard to help Qin Yiheng.
I asked him: "You mean Qin Yiheng can still find someone else to cooperate?"
Bai Kai nodded and said, "Haven't you ever thought about it? People like you make a lot of money, and Qin Yiheng is hard to find."
I was a little guilty when I was asked, and thinking about it, Qin Yiheng and I are old friends, and he doesn't seem like a person who loves money. Is it because he sees me as pitiful? Want to help me
Bai Kai smiled meaningfully and said, "Because you are Qin Yiheng."
I was confused and asked Bai Kai what he meant. He asked me to think about it first, otherwise I might not be able to accept it if he told me.
I thought about it and thought, is this an anagram? Referring to what Qin Yiheng said that night in the bathing center, I'm afraid there is really a mystery in it.
I thought about it for a few minutes, and ran through the details of the night in the bathing center in my mind, but I still had no clue.
In addition, the grasshopper in Bai Kai didn't know what happened, the more he shouted, the more energetic he was, which made me upset. I had no choice but to wave my hand at Bai Kai and say, "I really can't think of anything."
Bai Kai nodded and poured me a glass of water. I took a sip and suddenly found a problem——
Just now I said in vain that the grasshopper would only call out when he felt dirty, but now Qin Yiheng has run away, why the grasshopper's voice has never stopped at all
I'm sweating a little bit, damn it, did I fall for it? Is it filthy to co-author for nothing
I looked at Bai Kai, his expression didn't change. I have another guess - isn't he deliberately holding me back now? Otherwise, as for such a secret
I had to raise my vigilance, and the person also moved to the distance, and asked Bai Kai: "Why are you still barking, you grasshopper?" He tried to pretend as nonchalant as possible.
Bai Kai actually followed me and moved closer to me, saying: "If it stops barking, I'm afraid something really happened." Then, he changed a very mysterious expression and continued, "And, listen carefully, It barks not because it finds something to eat, but because it's afraid."
When he said this, he was almost right next to my ear, and the sound of the grasshopper was also near, which disturbed me.
I simply stood up and walked a few steps around the room, thinking about whether I should still be here. In the end, I decided to stay. Since Qin Yiheng didn't tell me, I really need to listen to Bai Kai.
