Chapter 127 Chapter 127
Xie Rigui was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "It's courtesy. Tell me about your childhood and I'll tell you about mine, too."
Li Qingshan nodded: "Okay."
Xie Rigui thought for a while, and slowly said: "When I was a child, I lived in a small mountain village in the countryside. There were not many people in the village because the young people went out to work, the elderly were busy with cooking and washing clothes, and the children were eager to go to school.
When I was not in school, I did my homework or played with friends, but there was a day when the homework was finished, and friends also moved or had something to do and didn't want to go out, so there was no time to play together.
Although I continued to go to school, there were fewer and fewer people around me day by day, and the days were getting quieter and quieter, as if someone was going to die by my side every day, When I graduated, everyone around me died.
It was a strange and subtle feeling of terror.
I wasn't afraid of silence because of this, but because of these things, I became more and more annoyed by people talking in my ear. They always said the same thing, and I hated it.
Especially the people in the countryside, who have no culture and don't think before they speak. The most common words they say are dirty words, and they are most likely to quarrel with others. They say loudly and annoyingly, and they keep saying it. I can't stop. I'm so annoyed.
I ran far away when no one was paying attention. I didn't know where I was, but I knew I didn't want to be around them. I hated them.
I met a friend. He was very beautiful, like a bubble rising slowly in the sun. I talked to him a lot, but now I don't remember it. I said everything.
After talking for a long time, someone called my name. They called me back, so I had to say goodbye to that friend. , he said we would meet in the future, I waited and waited, but he didn’t show up, I thought I misunderstood, he didn’t mean he wanted to find me, but I wanted to find him.
I searched for him for a long time, I thought he abandoned me, I thought he didn’t keep his word, I thought I would never see him again, but I still missed him. "
Xia Rigui was silent for a long time, as if he was reminiscing, or thinking, or there was nothing more to say, so he stopped.
Li Qingshan felt that he should say something at this time, and smiled: "Have you seen him?"
Xie Rigui stared at Li Qingshan for a long time, and after Li Qingshan looked away, his face slightly red. Just as he was about to ask him, he smiled slowly and said, "Yes."
Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what he was talking about. He raised his eyes and stared at him, as if he was walking on the road and encountered a balloon that suddenly burst: "What did you say?"
Xie Rigui looked at him intently, paying attention to his reaction, and said happily: "I saw him."
He opened his mouth and was about to say, you are the person I'm looking for, but Li Qingshan was already completely sure of what he was talking about, his face turned red, and he pulled him forward: "You want to What to eat?"
Xie Rigui paused. He didn't really want him to change the subject, but seeing his face so red, he couldn't say anything for a while. He could only follow him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Anything is fine."
Li Qingshan looked at him with a red face: "Really?"
Xie Rigui looked at Li Qingshan's red face, and suddenly laughed and said, "I'm kidding. Actually, before I came here, I thought about it. I want to go to a very expensive restaurant for a meal. That way, I will be worthy of the time I spent on the road and the difficulty of coming here. I have already picked a restaurant, but I don't know if I have the honor of inviting you to have dinner with me?"
Li Qingshan paused for a moment before he understood what he said: "Okay."
It would be a waste not to eat!
Xie Rigui looked at him and smiled, "Okay."
Li Qingshan looked up at Xie Rigui and smiled, "Shall we go now?"
Xie Rigui nodded, then checked the specific location of the store and took Li Qingshan into the store. Li Qingshan looked back and saw that the other people from the foundation hesitated at the door.
Xie Rigui glanced at those people and said, "You can let them come in together, and we will eat together. I will pay. I have a reservation. It's just that the number of people may be a little more, but it doesn't matter. This is a small matter. The restaurant should be responsible."
Li Qingshan nodded and waved to everyone, and everyone came in.
The restaurant staff arranged for them to go to the private room, and they sat in the private room. There was a huge round table in the private room. Li Qingshan and Xie Rigui sat together, and the others sat on both sides.
After Xie Rigui finished ordering, he handed the menu to Li Qingshan. After Li Qingshan finished ordering, he looked at him and Xie Rigui smiled and said, "You can also give the menu to others, whatever you want."
Li Qingshan nodded, and the menu was passed around among the people. Out of courtesy and reserve, everyone ordered only one portion each, which included meat, vegetables, soup, desserts, drinks, cigarettes, and wine.
Even sugar.
The waiter quickly pushed a large dining cart over to deliver the food to them. He knocked on the door first, and then one of the waiters opened the door. The other waiter pushed the dining cart into the private room and stopped next to the table. Two waiters brought the food from the dining cart to the table.
All the food was placed on the table, and the waiter pushed the cart away.
Everyone started to eat.
Li Qingshan was about to drink a glass of lemonade when he suddenly stopped, because for a moment, he felt that he saw the lemon slices in the lemonade cup floating up and down, and the lemon seeds turned into white worms swimming in the water. The entire bottle of lemonade was filled with densely packed white worms.
He took his hand back, hesitated for a moment, then pulled Xie Rigui next to him and whispered, "I think something seems to be wrong."
Xie Rigui tilted his head and asked, "What?"
Li Qingshan whispered, "Why don't we ask the foundation to come and check it out?"
The people around him thought he was joking and laughed, "Aren't we the foundation? Why do we need people from the foundation to come here? Just tell us what you want to check! Isn't it over after we check it now? But you still shouldn't be so obsessed with work! We finally get out to play and eat something good, why do you always mention work?"
Li Qingshan looked at the lemonade again to confirm. The lemons inside were very strange. Li Qingshan took out the measuring instrument he carried with him and measured the lemonade.
The people around him thought he was performing, which livened up the atmosphere and made them laugh even more. Then they took out their own instruments and compared them with the food around them. They looked at each other and said with a smile, "Let me see if there is any problem?"
Then, the box suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other in amazement. Looking at the values displayed by the test instruments in their hands, they were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the instruments of others around them and found that the results were similar.
"Where are we?" Everyone gasped.
Xi Rigui hesitated and said, "Since the problem has been found, it would be better to ask the people from the foundation to come over immediately. Let's leave the food here and don't eat it. If you are too hungry, you can go to the foundation's cafeteria. If you don't mind, you can also let me choose another restaurant and we can go there to eat."
Everyone followed suit and became hesitant.
If Xi Rigui was allowed to choose another restaurant, they were worried that the same situation would happen again, because it might be a bad omen, but if they had to go to the cafeteria now, they felt a little unwilling. They had finally come to such an expensive place, but they had to leave before they had eaten anything. They were really not happy.
However, after thinking about it, everyone agreed not to eat for the time being and immediately notified the Foundation to come over to check. They stayed here and waited for the Foundation to come over to help them, so that no one would escape or destroy evidence while the Foundation was rushing over.
They notified the Foundation.
The Foundation immediately sent people to check.
A person secretly hid in the back door of the restaurant and slipped out.
The restaurant employees were stunned, watching the back figure gradually disappear in front of their eyes, and they hadn't come back to their senses yet. To be exact, they didn't know what happened, but seeing someone escape, even a small matter became a big deal. If they were discovered, it would be a disaster!
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. The members of the foundation suddenly saw the back of the person and shouted loudly: "Someone is running away! Chase him! Over there! Go up!"
A group of people from the foundation followed the back of the person who ran away and chased him halfway down the street.
The hotel was closed down just like that.
"What exactly happened?" Xi Rigui asked while sitting in the foundation.
Ayn Rand collected the information, confirmed it and replied: "In order to make money, the hotel owner hired a feng shui master to look at the feng shui. The feng shui master wanted to use the hotel and the owner to prolong his life. The owner didn't know the situation and did what the feng shui master said, and then there was a problem with the food in the hotel."
Xie Rigui nodded and asked, "What's the problem?"
Ayn Rand replied: "After the guests eat the processed food, part of their luck and life span will be transferred to the hands of the feng shui master. The feng shui master will give part of the luck to the owner and the hotel. Therefore, the hotel did not go bankrupt, and the business was more prosperous than before, but it did not meet the owner's expectations."
Because the boss did not suddenly become rich, he was still dissatisfied, so he kept looking for a feng shui master. The feng shui master also kept doing his thing when the boss didn't know, and the only ones who continued to suffer were the guests.
"You are the first one to discover that something is wrong this time, so you have made a great contribution," An Rand looked at Li Qingshan, "Is there anything you want?"
Li Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later."
An Rand nodded and smiled, "That's fine."
"I'm sorry to have you this time," An Rand said to Xie Rigui, "If you hadn't taken them to that place, I'm afraid it would have taken us some time to realize that something was wrong. Thank you very much for your support and help in our work."
Xie Rigui smiled, then said seriously, "I hope this matter can be dealt with as soon as possible. If necessary, I can give you a sum of money now as a special fund for the foundation to handle this matter . "
An Rand's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, that's great. On behalf of everyone in the foundation, thank you. I'm happy to accept the money, and I will urge everyone to deal with it as soon as possible! I promise to give you an explanation as quickly as possible!"
Xie Rigui nodded and stood up: "In that case, tell me your foundation's account number, I'll transfer the money now, you check and confirm it, then keep it and go deal with things."
"Okay!" An Rand couldn't help laughing.
Xie Rigui transferred the money into the foundation's account. After An Rand received it, he sent him out: "I will definitely get this matter over with as quickly as possible! It must be handled seriously! No one will be allowed to take advantage of it!"
Xie Rigui nodded.
"Where are you going to stay tonight?" An Rand asked tentatively.
Xie Rigui glanced at his watch and said, "I have already booked a place. It's a hotel not far away. If you are worried, you can send a few people from the foundation to go with me to protect my safety." "
Then let Li Qingshan protect your safety, okay?" An Rand looked at Li Qingshan and asked Xie Rigui.
Xie Rigui was satisfied: "Okay."
An Rand arranged for Li Qingshan to follow Xie Rigui to the hotel to protect Xie Rigui's safety. By the way, he also arranged for some other members of the foundation to go with him, just in case. After all, sometimes one person may not be able to protect safety.
At the same time, the chef who ran away found the boss.
"Oh no, oh no! The hotel has been sealed off by the foundation! It's surrounded! Everyone has been arrested! I didn't take anything! I'm afraid there must be something wrong with the food too! Find a solution quickly!" the chef said to the boss.
The boss pondered for a while: "Are you sure?"
The chef was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Why don't you make a phone call and ask? If you have the ability to call, the people from the foundation will be able to come to you immediately! Maybe they have already sent someone and will knock on the door soon, and you can't escape! Do you want to be caught?"
After confirming the situation, the boss was furious: "It must be that reserved guest! What kind of president? He is not even willing to pay for a meal, and he actually lets the foundation intervene. It's too much! Does he think I'm an easy persimmon to pinch? I won't let him succeed! I think he is just jealous that I am rich!"
The boss thought about it, and immediately called the Feng Shui master, but the call didn't go through. He felt that he was blocked, frowned, and immediately took the chef to the Feng Shui master's address.
The Feng Shui master was packing up his things when he heard someone knocking on the door. He stopped immediately and kept quiet, but the knocking did not stop.
He immediately put down his things, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole to see what was happening outside. He saw the angry boss and the nervous chef.
The Feng Shui master hesitated for a moment, and the boss seemed to suddenly sense through the peephole that he was at the door. He immediately knocked on the door more violently and shouted, "Open the door! Open the door now! I said open the door! Did you hear me? If you don't want to open the door, I will let everyone know that you are here, and let the foundation come to catch you!"
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and the Feng Shui master dragged the boss in. The chef followed him in through the gap like a mouse. Even though he was not thin, he was very fast.
The door slammed shut. The Feng Shui master leaned against the door to make sure it was closed. He looked at the two people in front of him with a vigilant look and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The Feng Shui master stared at his boss and said, "What foundation were you talking about? What do you want to arrest me for? How dare you think that?"
The boss licked his lips and said with a perverted smile: "Don't blame me! I haven't done it yet, have I? I was just saying it. After all, if I didn't say that, you wouldn't let me in."
The Feng Shui master was a little anxious. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave because he was blocked by these two people. So he asked: "Is there anything that can't be said outside? You're already in now! What do you want? Say it!"
The boss swaggered to the sofa in the living room. The Feng Shui master sat down and poured himself a glass of water. He looked at the chef in a hurry and smiled, "Don't be in a hurry!"
The Feng Shui master gritted his teeth and glared at the chef. The chef blinked and stood against the wall at a loss. The Feng Shui master strode to the living room and looked at the boss on the sofa and asked, "Are you kidding me? If you don't tell me, I will let the foundation come! I want to see who is more afraid of the foundation!"
The boss's face changed, put down the water glass, and told the story.
The Feng Shui master sat on the sofa next to him and smiled, "You said that a rich man from a foreign country, claiming to be the president, booked dinner at your hotel, but didn't want to pay when he ate, and wanted to eat a free meal after eating, and directly reported your hotel to the foundation, causing your hotel to be unable to open now?"
The boss nodded.
"You think that the president has ruined the Feng Shui of your hotel and doesn't want you to get rich, so you came to me and hope that I can help you get revenge on him?" The Feng Shui master raised his eyebrows and asked again.
The boss nodded again: "That's it."
The Feng Shui master didn't want to agree at first, but he was afraid that he would go crazy in his own house and drag him into trouble. Moreover, he couldn't let anyone search his room if he had something to hide from others. If something was really found, it would be bad.
Therefore, the Feng Shui master rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I can help you, but you can't tell others about my affairs."
The boss waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Of course! I'm not stupid. If I tell others about your affairs, you will turn against me, and I won't be able to use you. Doesn't that mean I will never get any money?"
The Feng Shui master curled his lips, his eyes fixed on the sarcasm and arrogance of the fool, and said casually: "I understand what you mean. Since you have made up your mind, don't regret it."
The boss didn't know what he was talking about. He thought he was saying that if he wanted to make money with Feng Shui, he shouldn't talk nonsense. He nodded in agreement.
The Feng Shui master stood up and said, "I can help you get revenge on that president, but I still want money. You give me the money now, and I will prepare things to get revenge on him with curses to make him sad."
The boss was skeptical, raised his head and looked at the Feng Shui master: "I can give you money, but I don't have much money. Can I give you the full money after the matter is over?"
The Feng Shui master didn't care about the money, but just to avoid his suspicion, he nodded and said, "Okay."
The boss stood up and asked curiously, "How do you make him sad? It won't make the people around him disappear, right? I think that kind of sadness is nothing!"
"Of course it's not the kind of curse that doesn't hurt you! I also think that there's nothing to be sad about when people around you disappear. My curse will make the cursed person gradually lose all their money, be in debt, and never be able to get back on their feet. It's guaranteed to be painful enough!" The Feng Shui master said confidently.
The boss nodded and gave him the money. The Feng Shui master took a look and confirmed that it was correct, then began to rummage through his bag, preparing the things to curse. After rummaging for a while, he looked up and saw that the boss and the chef were still in his house, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why don't you two leave?" The Feng Shui master asked with a frown.
"I will watch you finish the spell here. If your spell cannot be seen directly, I can wait for you in the living room," the boss smiled cunningly, "If you want to deal with it in the living room, I will go to the bathroom or bedroom, and I guarantee that I will not see anything, but I have to make sure that you finish the spell before I can leave."
He did not say that he did not want to leave here for the time being, but he felt that this place was safer than other places, because he felt that his residence was likely to be found by the foundation people soon, just as the chef said, and the door would be opened to search, and if he went back, he might be caught.
He did not want to go back, nor did he want to be caught. He wanted to delay time. The longer he stayed here, the safer he felt, and the more time he had to think, and naturally he could find a safer place to save himself temporarily.
Maybe he should also save the chef, after all, the chef is more dangerous than him, and he just escaped from the Foundation.
If he doesn't protect the chef, the chef will be caught by the Foundation, and they will inevitably say bad things about him. At that time, it is hard to say whether he can escape. If he can't escape, then it will be over.
He doesn't intend to give up the chef unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Okay." The Feng Shui master was helpless.
He thought for a while and said, "You don't need to avoid it. You can watch here, but you can't touch anything of mine, otherwise if you fail, I will be retaliated."
The boss and the chef nodded.
The Feng Shui master began to arrange the spell props, draw the curtains, spread a huge piece of paper on the ground, write various symbols on the paper to form a magic circle, place candles on the magic circle, and put flowers and fruits in the middle of the candles.
He began to curse.
He said in a vague and weird language: "I curse this man. I hope he will become a penniless person. He will not have any money. He will not get any new money from today on. Any penny he got before will disappear, like running water, disappearing from his palm."
He said it over and over again, walking around the magic circle and candles, the sound became louder and louder, the flowers in his hand fell out, the fruits on the ground suddenly burst, the sticky and fishy sweet pulp was all over the ground, the cores rolled on the ground, and the peels were torn into pieces. The candles suddenly went out,
the lights in the room were not turned on, the curtains were drawn, the door was closed, it was pitch black, the boss and the chef sat on the sofa and held their breath.
