Chapter 21: The Mysterious Man
The tables and chairs of red rosewood are carved with the shapes of green dragons and white tigers, and tall and deep sandalwood beams are placed horizontally in the living room with a floor height of more than 4 meters. The entire high-ceiling space exudes a deep sense of solemnity.
The carved beams and painted beams are on the eaves outside, and the dark brown solid wood tables and chairs in the inner hall add a strong sense of heaviness. Cantonese-style antique Hakka house, rows of ancient slender wooden doors, the patio in the atrium is wrapped with a thick layer of moss, and the eaves The water from Liangjiao dripped slowly, falling one by one on the stone steps in the middle of the patio.
The gentle breeze blew slowly, causing the grass growing on the eaves to sway.
A red statue of Guan Gong is enshrined in the center of the living room. Three incense sticks are neatly inserted in the incense burner, emitting a faint scent of sandalwood.
After Jiang Hao was surrounded by several people wearing black clothes, he was inexplicably held down from behind. Then black cloth strips covered his eyes. He kept feeling someone pushing him to turn left and right, as if he had entered Jiang Hao deliberately kept a close eye on the complicated roads and silently remembered all the turning points of the road.
Being pushed, he obeyed the order and stepped forward across the threshold. In an instant, the black cloth was pulled off from behind.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw this antique Hakka building in front of me. The huge and tall living room, even if it is hot like summer outside, it is still cool inside.
He blinked his eyes that were pierced by the light, and his discomfort instantly intensified.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw two people in black kung fu uniforms sitting on the left and right in the center of the living room in front of me. One of them had a strong figure, sharp eyes, and his face was covered with wrinkles and deep ravines.
The other is fierce and powerful. When he wears gold-rimmed glasses, he exudes a gentle and elegant temperament, but also has the innate murderous aura of a warrior. In him, he is as polarized as yin and yang, extreme.
The two mysterious men waved their hands, and the men in black surrounding Jiang Hao dispersed. Standing behind him was the shopkeeper who Jiang Hao asked about the receipt. He treated the mysterious man with respect and submissiveness. appearance.
Jiang Hao's heart sank when he saw this battle, and his face became serious.
Are they Xiao Yao's accomplices? Or are they just a huge fraud group?
Jiang Hao was silent, still trying to capture some effective information from their expressions and movements, but it was obvious that the other party would not give him any time to think.
The two mysterious men kept staring at Jiang Hao, with uncertainty in their eyes.
The muscular man withdrew his wandering gaze from Jiang Hao, cleared his throat and said, "Tell me, why are you here."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Hao. He glanced at the shopkeeper, and what he was holding in his hand was his only receipt.
Not knowing what the other party meant, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Looking at their burning eyes, he had no choice but to say: "I'm looking for someone."
The gentle and elegant mysterious man raised the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his clear voice came out.
"Look for Xiao Yao, he owes our village the hard-earned money."
The shopkeeper unfolded the receipt with a somewhat scrawled handwriting from the palm of his hand. He had written it with his own hand before. He would never forget the person who asked for this receipt.
The two mysterious men exchanged a few words in low voices, their eyes glancing at him from time to time.
"There is no one you are looking for here." The muscular man said firmly.
"But the receipt is from your store, there's no way I don't recognize it."
The shopkeeper folded the receipt in half and handed it to the two mysterious men.
After pondering for a moment, two mysterious people suddenly spoke.
