I wrote these 10 words word by word, each word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. While I was writing, I observed the other person’s eyes.
When I wrote the word Qi Yu, I saw a strange look in my eyes. It’s hard for me to describe that look. Excited? Lost? look forward to? Or something, I can’t say.
But I know there is a way.
I sat back on the chair, crossed my legs, and pretended to be calm. In fact, I knew that my heart could jump out of my throat at any time.
The old man in front of me took off his glasses, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, picked up his pipe, seemed to be thinking about something, and stopped talking to me.
As time passed by, this silence was a kind of torture that was difficult to experience. The unpredictability of this gamble was really irritating, and it made me sweat on my back.
I suppressed my temper, and the old man suddenly turned around, put his pipe on the table, and looked at me silently.
He suddenly became older. He seemed to be more than ten years older than what I saw before. The red light on his face suddenly disappeared, and the calmness and oppression were gone. Now he is like a man on crutches. Old man in rags, I know, I may have won the bet.
"You are not him. Although there are some similarities, you are not him, so where is he?", the old man's voice was a little hoarse.
"Old sir, you are right. I am indeed not the person represented by this name, but please believe that maybe I am the last person in the world who knows where this person is." Since then, I have I concluded that I won in this thrilling gamble, and all that was left was to increase the weight of my chips.
"This person participated in an archaeological activity in Nansha decades ago and gained a little bit. Old sir, in fact, you and I can become friends. Now, can we start our transaction?" . I picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, happily.
"Young man, you may have misunderstood. I do know this person, but this person is no longer important to me. And since you know where this person is going, then I..., then I seem to have to We're going to kill people and silence them, don't you think so?" The old man put on his glasses again, returned to normal, and his eyes became sharp again.
At this time, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have missed something. According to Xie Lianhuan's description, Qi Yu was indeed a member of the organization, but what if the old man was also a member of the organization and tried to silence him? Sha Nian, I am just digging my own grave.
In a cold sweat, I might risk my life on the gambling table because of a miscalculation of a card.
The second uncle has a famous saying: When meeting people, he only speaks a few words, and his face is calm.
Which of them should I listen to now?
I calmed down. The more times this happens, the less likely I am to panic. If I am not careful, my life may be ruined.
"Haha, old man, in such a quiet place, if you have the intention to kill me, it would not be easy? But, what is the use? I am dead, but there will still be people talking. , Between us, I believe that seniors like you will understand what I am talking about. Of course, you must also understand the value of my existence." I did not say that Qi Yu is still alive, because I know that he is probably already alive. I was really killed by my third uncle, but I didn’t want to tell lies and let him guess. This was my bet.
"Where...is...he?". The old man was very shrewd. He seemed to understand the meaning of the words and looked at me word by word.
"I seem to have told you too much and expressed enough sincerity, but you are the one who is always ready to wield swords and guns. You are older than me, and even a child like me is talking about faith. You see Naturally, there are many more things in the world than the younger generation like me. You can't bully a baby like me, right? I also have to know whether I should still sit here and wait for your value. Do you think so? I think I may not be able to fight you. Those men, but I am confident that I can escape here safely,” I said.
"What do you want to know?", the old fox obviously still refused to obey.
"Me? Haha, I want to know the story behind the two large-scale archaeological projects in 1963 and 1976. At the same time, I also want to know the true meaning of your meeting gift, that is, the number." Now that you know you may win the bet, go straight to the point and decide quickly.
The old man looked at me, and after about a minute of silence, he said: "Young man, many past events have passed a long time ago. I am getting older, and I have almost forgotten some things. Listen to my advice and forget those old things. Years have passed, and the more you know, the more uncomfortable you become. But... regarding numbers, I said it was a gift, so I won't shirk it."
"I already know a lot of things. The numbers you mentioned are not too important to me. But since you told me, I naturally have to judge the authenticity. But how to judge the authenticity can only depend on what you said. Are those forgotten past events consistent with the truth I know? Frankly speaking, I don’t trust you."
Although I desperately want to know what this 18965280220059 is, I don’t want to make it too easy for the other party to analyze the direction of the bet.
"Haha, young man, some things are destined to be hidden in heaven. They are destined to be brought into the coffin since they happened. You don't have to ask. As for the numbers, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"That is a code, a code that uses a map of the stars as a structure to correspond to geography." The old fox said, adjusting his glasses and speaking mysteriously.
