The atmosphere seemed to have solidified at this moment. Only the sound of my heartbeat was left in my ears, and the sound of 'dong, dong, dong' resounded in my mind. My throat was dry. I really wanted to say to Jiang Yi: "Record it." Give it all to me, at any cost.”
But deep down, I am tired of being led around by others. Even if the bait he throws out will make me be led around willingly, but taking the initiative to 'send it to the door' will turn being led around by the nose into nothing. A more passive thing.
Such a thrilling topic, until now, turned into a strange silence. Finally, Jiang Yi spoke first, and he said with a little joking smile: "Well, that impulsive little guy at the time, when Master left, Finally, it turned out to be much more mature, the bait was already thrown out, but the hook didn’t even bite.”
This was the second time I heard Jiang Yi speak with emotion, and I laughed twice. God knows, if he had been silent for a while longer, I would have yelled out those words: "Give me the record, I'll pay any price."
"Do you know me?" From his tone, I always felt that he was quite familiar with me. Now, I am happy to change the topic and calm down my heated brain temporarily.
"Your master often mentioned you in front of me. I know that you were naughty when you were young, rebellious and impulsive as a teenager, and too emotional in your twenties. Well..." Jiang paused and continued. To: "Your master loves you very much. The topic of his conversations with me is often you. It can be said that you are raised by him as his son. Chengyi, don't have any resentment, don't blame him."
I was silent, the small bamboo forest, the Beijing compound, the deserted village, the Miao village, the ancient tomb... Scenes after scenes were in my mind, and Master was in every scene. I couldn't help but love Master, but It's not like Jiang Yi wouldn't complain just because he said this!
Don't blame him for leaving without saying goodbye.
At that moment, I had the urge to cry. If it was a few years ago, maybe the tears would have fallen. But at this time, I rubbed my sore nose. After all, I did not cry out, but took a deep breath. He said: "You just said on the phone that you were protecting me because of your friendship with my master?"
"My friendship with your master is one of the reasons. He asked me to take care of you before he left. Also, the identity of the Queen of Kunlun cannot be exposed. It involves some power games. In short, you remember that you are actually under the protection of the department. The people below." Jiang Yi said lightly.
"So, what's the point of sending me a fax? Is it to tell me that there is a record?" In fact, I don't care about the game of power. After all the nonsense, I still care about the record.
In fact, that sentence of asking Jiang Yi to take care of me before leaving still made my chest feel very warm. Master didn't leave without explaining anything after all. Maybe I really was his only concern in this world.
And God knows that this feeling of warmth in my chest has not appeared in my life for many years after Master left.
This kind of warmth is just like many years ago, when Master held my hand and walked step by step back to the past of Zhulin Xiaozhu...
"Record, in fact, what you saw was the last one. After that, there is no way to record it. There is only one request. If you solve the kid's matter, you will get the record. How about it? Then, give you another big gift. I will tell you, your master Why are you so persistent, okay?" Jiang Yi's tone was as calm as ever, but I seemed to feel that there was clearly an old fox on the other end of the phone smiling proudly.
But there was nothing I could do. The conditions he proposed to me were like showing a hungry man a banquet. I had no power to resist, so I could only say helplessly: "Kid, do you think I can handle it? You think too highly of me. Right? Why does it have to be me?"
"Who asked you to deal with the imp? Actually, do you think that in this whole thing, we knew about the imp from the beginning? I'm sorry to tell you that it was only after the investigation that we learned about the existence of the imp. What do you think? What's the reason? It's because no one else is bound to investigate this matter, but you don't, so you easily found out that there is a kid among them! Your life will not be in danger, many people don't dare to let you die, you know ? If you be careful yourself, there will be no problem, and you only need to find out the key points and get the evidence, and we will naturally deal with the kid." Jiang Yi said a long speech.
But I was confused. In fact, this was the second time he said it had to be me, but this time it was more obvious. Why wasn't I restrained? Why should I be careful and not be life-threatening when faced with something as dangerous as investigating a kid
But with Jiang Yi's status, he would never deceive me. I thought of Feng Wei's senior brother who appeared that night. He once said similar words, he didn't dare to let me die, but he could play with me to death.
Is there something I don’t even understand about myself
But no one told me, and I scratched my head and couldn't figure out why, so I said to Jiang Yi: "Tell me a reason!"
Of course Jiang Yi knew the reason I was referring to. He said something: "Don't underestimate your lineage, Lao Li. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Didn't your master's generation grow up? You will too." Yes! There is an eldest sister named Jenny."
Why is there a eldest sister named Jenny? Is she from the underworld? It does not make sense? I guess Jiang Yi didn't want to tell me anything, so he talked nonsense with me.
However, the saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse made me think a lot about it. I know very little about my master, but I know that in fact, my master left very early, and my master has never been there since. From what I know about him, I know that he is a person who does things as he pleases and is uninhibited. He probably has many enemies throughout his life in this world. But really, haven't my masters and the others also grown up
I didn't think much about it. Jiang Yi's appearance made me feel the closest to my master. I gritted my teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, deal! The key thing is where the kid's body is. I will Let’s investigate clearly.”
"As long as you understand, although I think you are the one who is least likely to be in danger if you interfere in this matter, I still have to tell you, be careful. After all, there are no guarantees, but there will be no entanglement. People with powerful forces will kill you, but there are some things that you have no scruples about." Jiang Yi said to me calmly.
I laughed and said, "Don't you know how to protect me?"
There was silence for a while, and then he suddenly said, "You bastard!" Then he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, I felt exhausted physically and mentally. Because my mood fluctuated so much, I simply lay down on the bed, tried hard to calm down my mood, and then waved to Hui Gen'er and asked him to come over.
Hui Gen'er sat on the ground beside the bed with wet tears. I habitually put my hand on his bald head and asked, "Are you sad?"
"Yeah." The boy nodded.
"I'm sad too, but we still have hope, don't we? This hope is getting bigger and bigger." I said to Hui Gen'er.
Hui Gen'er wiped her nose with her sleeve innocently, and then said, "Uh, I believe it, brother."
"In the future, we will face something very dangerous, which is the most critical step to eliminate the little devil this time. We need to complete it. Are you afraid?"
"Well, I'm not afraid. Well, I just feel sad, more sad than brother." Huigen'er said, curling her lips, and she looked aggrieved again.
This made me a little strange, so I sat up from the bed and asked this kid: "Why do you think you will be sadder than me?"
Hui Gen'er picked up the fax and said to me seriously: "Brother, Mr. Jiang still has his face and body in the photo, why does Master only have one arm?"
"This..." I stayed on the spot for a moment.
Hui Gen'er was like a little child, and suddenly cried loudly again, "Silly boy," I said silently in my heart, and then sat next to Hui Gen'er, patting his bald head, and my eyes became inexplicably red again. , and his eyes fell on the master's face on the fax.
I miss you too, Master!
