Celestial Masters Alliance

I didn't take my eyes away from Huang Xiao's knees and replied, "Ah, yes!"

"I have a friend who specializes in antiques. If you bring the jade lock, we can ask him to help us find out the origin of the jade lock." Huang Xiao moved towards the store, trying to make his movements appear natural.

When I mentioned the jade lock, my heart trembled. I raised my eyes and stared at Huang Xiao. He avoided my gaze and said, "You also want to know the origin of the jade lock!"

"Yeah!" I responded in a low voice. Huang Xiao and I had lost contact since the first time we went down the tree hole. Naturally, he didn't know what happened to me later, and he didn't know that Mu Mu and I had already deciphered the code. The map projected by Jade Lock. Should I tell him? Forget it, let's take the jade lock and see what advice his friend can give.

"If your legs and feet are inconvenient, sit down and wait for me at the door of Shiduo. This is my place. I'll buy seasickness medicine." I stretched out a hand to support Huang Xiao's elbow and led him towards Shiduo.

My action made Huang Xiao stunned for a moment. He smiled and said, "Okay! Buy me a Coke. Don't make me wait too long." He pointed to the three steps in front of Shiduomen with his chin. I nodded and placed him under the umbrella.

I prepared my outing supplies early in the morning. Since I came back from Phoenix Tomb last time, I have restocked my equipment. Every once in a while I think of some odds and ends and stuff them into my bag. Although I don’t know where I am going, I am always ready to go. I rolled up three more sets of clothes and stuffed them into my bag, so I was fully equipped.

Maomao and Jixiang saw me fiddling with my hiking bag again, and they both followed me closely. Knowing that I was going out again, I gently scratched Maomao's head and took the jade lock holding the shoelaces off its neck. Coming down: "I'm going to borrow this thing again. I'll give it back to you when I get back."

Maomao tilted his head, looked at me, and frowned rarely. I scratched the base of its ears again and said, "Don't worry, I'm going on a trip this time. I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home and I'll ask Xiaoba to fry the steak for you." With that, I dialed Xiaoba's number. Cell phone, but this guy didn't answer the phone. After a while, he sent a message: "In a meeting!"

I had no choice but to send him a message: "I'm going out for a few days. Help me take good care of Maomao and Jixiang." After sending the message and preparing to go out, Maomao suddenly bit my trouser leg and pulled back. It was the first time he had done this in such a big growth. the behavior of.

"What's wrong?" I squatted down and stroked its head to get it to let go, but it was very willful today. Not only did it not let go, it also pulled harder and made a whining sound, which made me almost fall. fall.

"I'm going to be angry if you keep doing this!" I shouted sharply. Maomao and Jixiang were both well-behaved, so I rarely spoke to them in such a tone. When he heard me getting angry, Maomao relaxed his mouth and sat upright on the ground. Eyes sparkling with water.

"I'll be back in two days. Why are you crying, silly boy? I'll take you for a walk by the river when you get back, okay?" I held Maomao's head in both hands and rubbed my chin on its wide bridge of nose. A drop of water fell on it. It slipped from Maomao's eyes and fell to the ground. Jixiang leaned at Maomao's feet and licked off the smashed drop of water.

I stroked their heads back and forth to say goodbye again, and then hurried out the door. When the door closed behind me, my heart trembled. I pressed my heart with my right hand to smooth out the unreasonable beating.

This time when I went out with Huang Xiao, I didn’t know why I felt empty. I always felt unsteady. In the end, I blamed all this feeling on the lack of clarity about the destination. You can go out without knowing the itinerary, but you can’t not know the destination. .

I went to see Huang Xiao after I bought the medicine. From the time I could see him to the time I approached, he raised his hand and looked at his watch three times. After seeing me, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are we going now?" I gave him a hand and helped him stand up smoothly.

"Go to Baixin first to find a friend." Just as he said this, he waved and a dilapidated Jinbei stopped on the roadside. "This is the friend who sent me here. He doesn't like to talk much, so don't mind."

Huang Xiao opened the door of Jinbei. I took a look and saw that the car had been modified. There was only one row of seats in the back and the rest of the seats had been removed. It looked like the whole car was empty. Huang Xiao greeted the driver and introduced: "Fat Man" , this is my brother."

The driver of Jinbei turned around and nodded hard at me as a greeting. I quickly responded through the car door: "Hello, my name is Zhu Mo!"

The fat driver nodded again, and Huang Xiao introduced me: "You can just call him Fatty, we all call him that." Before Huang Xiao finished speaking, the Fatty turned back, which made me feel twisted in my heart. I paused, feeling that this person was so rude.

Huang Xiao seemed to have gotten used to this man's rudeness. He held the car door with one hand and pulled the knee of his pants with the other hand, and moved one leg into the car. I saw him and gave him a quick slap, and he got into the car smoothly.

There was something wrong with the car's engine, and it felt extremely bumpy while sitting in the car. I was a little worried that the car would break down in the middle of the road. After Huang Xiao got into the car, she kept leaning against the window, leaning her head against the greasy and yellowed glass, and closed her eyes to rest. I felt so depressed that I touched him and said, "There's something wrong with your face. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Huang Xiao opened her eyes slightly, twitched her pale lips and pretended to answer normally: "It's okay, I just didn't get a good rest last night, just get some sleep."

"That window will give you a headache, how about you lean on me?" I patted my shoulder and moved in his direction.

Huang Xiao didn't appreciate it. He shook his head and closed his eyes.

I found that the fat black driver was secretly observing me in the rearview mirror. Every time he looked at me, he would look away in a panic. Once I caught him looking at me with pity in his eyes, which made me very happy. Surprised, he finally couldn't help being curious and asked: "Brother, how far is Baixin from here? I have my driver's license and I can take turns driving with you."

The fat black man glanced at me in the rearview mirror and said solemnly: "I like driving!"

I could only shrug and said, "A gentleman does not take what others like."

There was no sound in the car since then. I looked at Huang Xiao with beads of sweat on her forehead next to me, and I felt like I was being kidnapped.

Four hours later, the car arrived at a dilapidated retro street. There were unique commercial buildings from the 1980s, and even old department store signs remained. The once bustling street was now abandoned, dilapidated and desolate.

Jinbei turned onto the ramp at an intersection. There was a young man sitting on a wooden chair with peeling paint on the side of the road. When he saw the car, he immediately jumped up, opened the rolling shutter next to him, and pushed it up hard. The car parked backwards into the rolling gate.

I touched Huang Xiao's forehead, and he woke up. He quickly pulled out the knife from his waist and placed it across his chest. It was dark inside the rolling shutter door. He couldn't adapt to the light source for a while, and he growled at me in a low voice. :"who?"
