piecing together the soul

69 Chapter 43

I didn't dare to speak anymore, and I didn't turn on the phone's microphone again, but Lao Wang didn't hang up, and I clearly heard the same doorbell echoing from his side.

I whispered to Master Xu: "The outsiders are probably Lao Wang."

Master Xu also said in a low voice: "I'll go and close the doorbell, and you can tell him again."

As he said that, Master Xu walked towards the door lightly. Since his door hadn't been changed for many years, and it was still the same battery doorbell as in the past, Master Xu went to remove the battery.At the same time, I walked into the back room, closed the door and turned on the microphone: "Hello? Can you hear me?"

"Why have you been silent for so long?" He said, "Did you turn off the microphone."

I finally realized how hard it is to fool a thoughtful person, so I could only say: "Internet cafes, you know, the signal is too bad, I only heard it when I came out. The surrounding area is much quieter."

"You really have no contact with Xu Xiaohan?"

"Why should I contact him when I have nothing to do?" I said, "By the way, I ran into him once in the library last weekend. Are you looking for him?"

"Xu Xiaohan!" Lao Wang yelled over there, which startled me, luckily I wasn't at the door.

I quickly asked, "Did you see him?"

"What do you see? I'm at the door of his house, and I can't open the door after knocking."

"That means you're not at home?" I pretended to guess, "Master Xu is always haunted, how can it be so easy to find?"

Old Wang fell into silence. I guess he was on the verge of believing or not believing, so I continued to ask: "Do you have anything to do with him? How about I help you find him and ask him to call you back."

Lao Wang finally sighed: "I just saw a news on **, the person in the picture is very similar to the two of you, since you don't know anything, the woman must not be you. I also want to confirm that the other is not him."

"Really?" I asked, "What's the picture, did someone bump into me?"

"The photo doesn't have a face. If there is a face, wouldn't I recognize it directly? Why are you asking?"

"That's right," I laughed twice, "Well, if I can find him, I'll ask him too. Hang up first, I'll go back and talk to my brother about going home tomorrow, and I have to go back later packing luggage."

"Well, good." Although Lao Wang hesitated a little, he still agreed, "Xiao Luan, if you have anything to do, don't hide it from me. I will take care of the big things, even if you die, And I died before you."

After hearing this, I suddenly felt sore, and said mechanically "Yeah", and suddenly remembered what Brother Xiu said to me last night: "Even if we die, we will die before you. What is there to be afraid of?" And Xu Ye said: "I don't know what Xiuying and Lao Wang do." Sure enough, the attitude of treating you as a friend is really different from treating you as a girlfriend. I seem to be used to Lao Wang being nice to me. But when I think about why brother Xiu is so awkward...

When I came back to my senses, there was already a "beep beep" sound after hanging up on the phone.Master Xu came over and opened the door, and said, "Master Guo, what are you still doing in a daze? Let's buy tickets now, and leave tomorrow."

"where to?"

"Go back to your house!" Xu Ye said it as a matter of course, "You told Lao Wang just now that you are going home, so I will continue to be your brother and go back with you."

"What's the matter with you coming home with me?"

"Go back, I'll pretend to be your boyfriend." Master Xu reminded me again, "Hurry up and tell your brother, let him cover for you."

right!I quickly called my brother, and Mr. Xu put on a mask and went out to buy tickets.Then I went to my room to pack the things I wanted to bring. Fortunately, I moved things from the dormitory several times before, and the clothes here are almost the same.

Brother Xiu has been watching me from the side, so I asked him casually: "Brother Xiu, do you think I should take the books back with me?"

He seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Take it, take less than two meanings."

Makes sense!After hearing what he said, I was suddenly enlightened. Although I knew whether to bring books or not, I couldn't tell my parents if I didn't bring books. If I brought too many books, it would be too heavy. It must be perfect to bring less.

I gave Brother Xiu a thumbs up and said, "Great!"

"Qingluan."

Brother Xiu suddenly called me, and I asked while tidying up, "What's wrong?"

"Is the fire we set off a big sin?"

I thought for a while and said, "Actually, we didn't hurt people and didn't destroy things too much. It shouldn't be a big problem. The main reason is that we are afraid of being asked about our motives, and the media now encounters little things. I'm holding on to it, because I'm afraid that nothing will happen if they magnify it. That's why Master Xu said to go out to avoid the limelight. When the media can't find anything and everyone doesn't pay much attention to this matter, we will come back That’s it, what to do.”

Seeing Brother Xiu's expressionless expression, I couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiu, what do you want to say?"

Brother Xiu stammered: "Qingluan, I'm sorry. I actually set the fire on."
