Chapter XXV
The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment, only the sound of my heartbeat was left in my ears, 'knock, knock, knock' resounded in my mind, my throat was dry, and I wanted to say to Jiang Yi: "Give me all the records, any price." ”
But in my bones I am tired of being led by others, even if the bait he throws will make me be led willingly, but taking the initiative to 'send it to the door' will make being led by the nose become a more passive thing.
Such a thrilling topic, at this moment, turned out to be a strange silence, and finally Jiang Yi spoke first, and he said with a little joking laughter: "Hmm, the impulsive little guy at the beginning, after the master left, really matured a lot, the bait has been thrown out, and he didn't bite the hook." ”
This is the second time I have heard Jiang Yi speak with emotion, I laughed dryly twice, God knows, as long as he is silent for a while, I will shout that sentence: "Record it for me, I will pay any price." ”
"Do you know me?" From his tone, I always felt that he was quite familiar with me, and now, I am happy to change the topic and calm my hot brain for a while.
"Your master often mentions you in front of me, I know that you were naughty when you were a child, rebellious and impulsive when you were a teenager, and too emotional in your twenties. Hmm" Jiang paused for a moment and continued: "Your master loves you very much, and the topic he talks to me about is often you. It can be said that you were raised by him as a son, Chengyi, don't be resentful, don't blame him. ”
I was silent, the bamboo forest building, the Beijing courtyard, the deserted village, the Miao village, the ancient tomb scene after scene in my mind, every scene is the figure of the master, I can't help but love the master, but I won't complain because of Jiang Yi's words!
Don't complain about him, don't say 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 sour nose, and after all, I didn't cry, but took a deep breath and said, "You just said on the phone that you are protecting me, is it 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, and the identity of Kunlun cannot be exposed, which involves the game of some forces, in short, you remember, you are actually a person under the protection of the department." Jiang Yi said lightly.
"So, what does it mean to send me a fax? Is it to tell me there is a record? "Actually, I don't care about the game of any forces, and after so much nonsense, I still care about the record.
Actually, that sentence of letting Jiang Yi take care of me before leaving still made my chest very warm, Master didn't leave without explaining anything, maybe I was really the only one he remembered in the red dust.
And God knows that this feeling of warmth overflowing in my chest is a feeling that has not been present in my life for many years since Master left.
This kind of warmth is like many years ago, when Master took my hand and walked back to the bamboo forest step by step
"Record, in fact, you see the last one, and after that, there is no way to record it again. There's only one request, get the little guy done, and you'll get the record, how? Then, one more big gift, and I will tell you the reason why your master is so persistent, okay? Jiang Yi's tone was as calm as ever, but I seemed to feel that an old fox was already smiling proudly on the other end of the phone.
But there was no way, the conditions he put forward to me were like showing a hungry person a full banquet of the Manchurians, and I had no strength to parry, so I could only say helplessly: "Little ghost, do you think I can deal with it?" You think too highly of me, don't you? Why does it have to be me? ”
"Who's going to ask you to deal with the imps? Actually, do you think that in the whole thing, we knew there were imps 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 is the reason? It's because whoever goes to check this matter is bound and you don't, so you can easily find out that there are imps in it! You won't be in danger of your life, and many people won't dare to let you die, you know? It's no problem if you are careful, and you just need to find out the key points, get the evidence, and the imp will naturally have us to deal with. Jiang Yi said a long paragraph.
But I heard it in a fog, in fact, this is the second time he said that it has to be me, but this time it is more obvious, why am I not restrained? Why should I be careful myself, and my life is not in danger when faced with something as dangerous as investigating the imp?
But with Jiang Yi's status, he will definitely not fool me, I think of the senior brother of Feng Wei who appeared that night, he also said something similar, he didn't dare to let me die, but he could play me to death.
Am there other things I don't know about myself?
But no one told me, and I couldn't figure out why, so I said to Jiang Yi: "Tell me a reason!" ”
Of course, Jiang Yi knew what the reason I was referring to, and he said a sentence: "Don't underestimate your old Li Yimai, the emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse, hasn't your master's generation grown up?" You will too! There is an eldest sister named Jenny. ”
Why does there be a big sister named Jenny? Is she underworld? What's the same thing? I guess Jiang Yi didn't want to tell me anything, so he talked nonsense with me.
However, the sentence that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but it makes me have a lot of associations, I know very little about the things of the ancestor, but I know, in fact, the ancestor also left very early, and my ancestor, from some of my understanding of him, I know that he is a freewheeling, indulgent and uninhibited person, it is estimated that he walks in this world all his life, and there are many enemies, but really, didn't my master also grow up?
I didn't think much about it, Jiang Yi's appearance was the one that made me feel the closest to the master, I gritted my teeth, nodded and said, "That's good, deal!" The key thing is where the imp's body is, and I'll investigate it. ”
"It's good that you understand, although, I think you are the one who is the least likely to danger your life in this matter, but I still have to tell you, be careful, after all, there is no guarantee of everything, but there will be no entangled forces to kill you, but there are some things that have no scruples." Jiang Yi said to me calmly.
I laughed and said, "Won't you protect me?" ”
There was silence for a while, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Stinky boy!" Then he hung up.
Putting down the phone, I had a feeling of being physically and mentally exhausted, because the ups and downs of my mood were too great, so I simply lay on the bed, tried to calm my mood, and then beckoned to Huigen'er and asked him to come over.
Hui Gen'er sat on the floor next to the bed with tears still stained, and I habitually put my hand on his bald head and asked, "Are you sad?" ”
"Hmm." The kid nodded.
"I'm sad too, but there's hope, don't we? That's getting bigger and bigger. "I said to Hui Gen'er.
Hui Gen'er wiped her nose with her sleeve very innocently, and then said, "I believe in my brother." ”
"In the future, we will have to face a very dangerous matter, which is the most critical step to eliminate the imp this time, and we need to complete it. Are you scared? ”
"E-don't be afraid, E-I'm sad in my heart, sadder than my brother." Hui Gen'er said, pursing her lips, looking wronged again.
This made me a little strange, and I sat up from the bed and asked the boy, "Why do you think you feel worse than me?" ”
Hui Gen'er picked up the fax and said to me very seriously: "Brother, Jiang Ye still has his face and body in the photo, why does Master only have one arm?" ”
"This" I was on the spot for a moment.
Hui Gen'er was like a child, and suddenly cried out loud again, silly boy, I said a word silently in my heart, and then sat next to Hui Gen'er, patting his bald head, his eyes were inexplicably red again, and his eyes fell on the face of the master on the fax.
I miss you too, Master!
