Chapter VII: Jiang Yi's Requirements
At dinner, I didn't see Ji Qing, nor did I see the red-faced old man, so I casually asked Uncle Zheng a few questions, only to know that they left in the afternoon before dinner.
As for the reason, he didn't go into details, but Uncle Zheng was afraid that I would misunderstand that it was related to me, so he still said to me: "I don't know the detailed reason, but I heard that it was probably because there was something on the master's side." ”
I answered, but I didn't care too much, I thought at the time that Ji Qing was just a small cause and effect of Master's unintentional words back then, and when the time was right, I went to the door to apologize, and my attitude was sincere, but it was really not worth worrying about it all the time.
The atmosphere of dinner is still very lively, because most of the people will leave tomorrow, and everyone has let go of drinking and reminiscing that night.
In a lively and peaceful atmosphere, I unconsciously drank too much again, I always thought that I was not a person who was addicted to alcohol, but after following Master for many years, when I was a child, I watched him have a drink when he had something to do, and when I grew up, I accompanied him to have a drink when he had nothing to do, and subtly, I realized that my non-alcoholic was just when I was not on the wine table.
Knowing that I drank too much, it means that I was only half drunk, but fortunately, I was only half drunk, because under such a bustle, there was a clear knock outside the door, and after someone went to open the door, I saw Jiang Yi standing behind the door at a glance, and a few people who followed him.
Most of the people here don't know Jiang Yi, because they haven't been able to contact Jiang Yi at that level, but the older generation, some of the status must know Jiang Yi, from a few people who hurriedly ran to greet Jiang Yi, and those who stood up to say hello.
Jiang Yi still has that calm look, and responding to other people's greetings is still the tone of the news broadcast, others want to see something from his face and his voice, and hear something, it is extremely difficult.
Lu Shan sat next to me, and the moment I saw Jiang Yi, I saw his hand holding the wine bowl tremble, and then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then looked at me meaningfully, and then stood up, walked towards Jiang Yi, stood in front of Jiang Yi, and made a salute.
Jiang Yi looked at Lu Shan, his expression and eyes did not change at all, he just nodded slightly, and then walked in my direction.
I didn't feel anything, maybe the alcohol had made me forget how nervous I was, I lit a cigarette, stood up, waved at Jiang Yi, and shouted: "Oh, the boss is here?" Been waiting for you for a long time? ”
My tone made Uncle Zheng, who had just said hello to Jiang Yi and sat down, look panicked, after all, he never thought that I would speak to Jiang Yi in such a foolish tone, I smiled bitterly in my heart, and rushed into the office to talk to Jiang Yi about the conditions, I did everything, and if I didn't do it like this, it would make Jiang Yi suspicious.
I'm afraid that in the whole circle, I am the first one who can treat Jiang Yi with such an attitude, right? No, I should be the first one among the juniors! Sister Jenny is a hundred times more arrogant than me.
As I said hello, Jiang Yi glanced at me, in fact, he looked the same way or not, but this time I inexplicably felt that his gaze was different, but what kind of emotion was it, he hid it too deeply, I couldn't understand it and couldn't guess it.
"Chen Chengyi, pay attention to the tone of your voice." Lu Shan's voice came to my ears, this kid was upside down this time, but remembering what I discussed with Lu Shan in the afternoon, I didn't move, pretended to look at Lu Shan with contempt, and then sat down honestly.
"It doesn't matter, Lao Li is originally a freewheeling person, and talking to them about the rules annoys them." Jiang Yi is still in the 'news broadcast', after I sat down, he said such a sentence without saltiness, anyway, I can't tell whether it's true or false, anyway, when he spoke, he sat next to me.
But Lu Shan didn't dare to sit down, and stood behind Jiang Yi in a proper manner.
Jiang Yi sat down, many people came to toast, I thought Jiang Yi would not agree, but he drank one by one quietly, so after doing a lot of work, his face did not change much, he still looked like a mountain, but after drinking, he said to everyone: "Jiang Mou is grateful for everyone's enthusiasm, but there is still something to do, so I will not accompany you." ”
Jiang Yi has already given the face that should be given, he said so, who would dare to say a word? They all hurriedly responded, and then Jiang Yi whispered to Uncle Zheng: "I'm sorry for you to help me prepare a quiet room, okay?" ”
How dare Uncle Zheng? hurriedly ordered.
Ten minutes later, Lu Shan and I both came to Jiang Yi's room, and Jiang Yi sent the entourage to other rooms.
Sitting behind the desk in the room, Jiang Yi's fingers tapped on the table, looking at me and Lu Shan without talking.
Lu Shan stood up straight, without squinting, and I leaned on the wall, looking at Jiang Yi without any scruples, but Jiang Yi's eyes were calm, and there was an inexplicable pressure, just a few glances at each other, I stood up straight inexplicably, and inexplicably didn't dare to hang Erlang so much.
After being silent like this for a minute, Jiang Yi spoke: "Chen Chengyi, Lu Shan reported to me, what do you have to do to keep up?" ”
Lu Shan still looked like he didn't squint or speak, and I said, "I'm just here to see if this stubborn kid will say anything bad about me?" ”
"Stubborn?" Jiang Yi groaned, then looked at Lu Shan and suddenly said, "Why is it that I didn't receive a trace of wind in advance of this action in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" On the contrary, it was the news that I got from other channels after the fact? ”
After saying this, Jiang Yi stood up, looked at Lu Shan and said, "Give me an explanation?" ”
Lu Shan pretended to hesitate and glanced at me, while Jiang Yi said to me: "This is clearly going to say bad things about you, you better go out and wait first, right?" ”
Although it was a question, the tone was not refusable at all, and I pretended to procrastinate and went out, then stood in the corridor outside, and lit a cigarette.
What Lu Shan wants to say, I know it in my heart, because Lu Shan has discussed it with me before, his method is not too reliable, at least I don't think I can fool Jiang Yi, so I came up with an idea and asked him to push everything on me first.
After that, I will pretend to have a little affection with Lu Shan, and Lu Shan will express his infinite loyalty to Jiang Yi, so that we can continue to walk.
I don't know why I and Lu Shan are positioned in this way, but my intuition tells me that this is the only way to go.
Time passed minute by minute, inexplicably I was a little nervous, a few cigarette butts under my feet had already explained the problem, just when I was about to lose patience, Lu Shan came out, his expression was very ugly, but he quietly compared a gesture to me, that gesture means that everything is going well.
"You can go in." Lu Shan said to me.
I nodded and walked towards the house, and as I passed by, Lu Shan's unusually low voice came into my ears: "It's strange that he didn't mention seeing Taobai, but he is likely to go with you." ”
I passed by Lu Shan quietly and walked into Jiang Yi's room.
In the room, Jiang Yi was wearing a coat, and said to me while buttoning the buttons: "Chengyi, I already know the general matter of the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, now you can accompany me to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, right?" ”
"Now?" Inexplicably, when I heard Jiang Yi say this, I had goosebumps all over my body, and a feeling of danger exploded in my heart at once, and I was already shouting frantically in my subconscious, don't go, don't go!
But Jiang Yi looked at me at this moment, and there was a kind of indescribable meaning in that gaze, and it reminded me that if I refused, the consequences would be serious.
This kind of advance and retreat is the first time I have encountered a dangerous situation, but I still haven't forgotten what I promised to cross the mountain, help him delay time, and now Jiang Yi didn't mention Taobai, it doesn't mean that he won't mention it later.
Cold sweat wet my palms, I pretended to be relaxed and put my hands in my trouser pockets, and said to Jiang Yi with an incomprehensible and impatient expression: "Now? You called me so that I could accompany you to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts? Who can't change it? It's a big night. ”
As soon as Jiang saw me speak, he finally withdrew his gaze, continued to fasten his buttons, and then said, "It's you, why someone else?" With me, what are you afraid of? If you had informed me before you acted, you wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. ”
There was no reason for his words, but he unconsciously positioned my relationship with him to a certain extent, and it was not strange at all to go to a place together, and if I refused, it seemed strange to me.
I had no way out, and maybe I couldn't retreat because of Tauber, so I had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Yi was very neat, got dressed and took me straight out, walked to the gate, and listened to the report of his entourage, I knew that he had asked Uncle Zheng that they had borrowed the boat, it turned out that he had planned this way at the beginning, why?
Jiang Yi walked in front, did not look back, and did not finish.
I walked behind, and I didn't know what to say, just looking at Jiang Yi's tall back, the feeling of danger in my heart was one after another, I hope that the kid in Lushan is clever and can figure out a way back for me.
Could it be that he is going to completely tear his face with Jiang Yi this time? But why tear? He never offended me from beginning to end, but I inexplicably didn't fully trust him and guard against him, how did I get to this point?
I don't understand, in silence we're out of the village.
