I stood up excitedly, but unexpectedly my feet gave way and I fell back onto the bed again.
Lao Li couldn't care about me anymore. He ran to the door of the wing, then held Lao Miao Zhu's hand and asked: "Old sir, where is Xiangyu now?"
"Right at the gate of the temple, a fisherman rescued her on the boat. According to the fisherman's description, when they met Xiangyu, she was exhausted. Fortunately, she was still carrying an oxygen tank, so she was able to support her floating on the lake. She was temporarily
It has been placed in a small hall, you should hurry up and take a look." Old Miao Zhu said, leading the way.
I held on to my limp body and followed Lao Li towards the small hall behind the main temple where we had tea that night.
When we arrived at the small hall, Andrew was actually there. Unexpectedly, Xiangyu didn't seem to be injured as seriously as we thought. His face was just a little pale, but there was nothing wrong with his body for the time being.
Appropriate.
I saw that she was talking to Andrew, but the two of them were communicating in a foreign language, not English. It sounded a bit like German.
Lao Li glanced at me, frowned, then crossed the threshold and walked in.
"Brother Li," Xiangyu stood up as soon as he saw Lao Li, and then he probably saw me following Lao Li. His expression changed slightly, and his eyes were already covered with a film of water, "Zhou Cang,
Are you okay?"
There was both grievance and concern in her tone, and I didn't know how to respond.
It seemed that ever since I held Xiangyu's hand and put it to my ear in the hospital, this girl seemed to have something in common with me.
"Xiangyu, how are you? Are you injured anywhere?" Lao Li probably felt the embarrassment slowly rising in the surrounding atmosphere, so he asked on my behalf.
"I wasn't injured, but I still narrowly escaped death." Xiangyu lowered his head, looking a little secretly sad.
"Xiangyu, just hope everything is fine. The waters around Laoye Temple are very strange and unpredictable. I'm so lucky that everyone can come back safely." I said and took a step forward.
"Yes, if there is a near miss, there will be endless blessings." Andrew said with a smile.
"Xiangyu, have you and Andrew known each other before?" I asked.
"Mr. Andrew said that I was my doctoral supervisor." Xiangyu took a step back, holding Andrew's arm and said, "He said that he is a fan of China. This time, he is leading the program "Searching for Roots - China Travel".
I really didn’t expect to meet him here at Poyang Lake.”
"Ph.D. supervisor, it's such a coincidence." I said in surprise.
"Zhou Cang, I didn't expect that you are actually my best friend's best friend. This world is really small." Andrew has a good personality and is always smiling.
I didn’t have a very good impression of Andrew. I always felt that he was the one who kicked me at the Wolf Tooth Pillar. But according to what he said later, he actually didn’t know why I appeared on the deck, because he was supposed to be on my
Before that, I had boarded the "ghost ship" first.
Andrew has his own explanation for why it is called a "ghost ship", because the ship sailed on its own in the waters of Laoye Temple. There was no one driving it, and there was no trace of life. It seemed that
There is only one black sedan chair, and it seems to be specially designed to carry that black sedan chair.
His statement is not unreasonable, and as a doctoral supervisor at Stafford University, I have absolute confidence in his observation and analysis abilities.
Although this old man is Xiangyu's doctoral supervisor, I always feel that his appearance in the Poyang Lake area at the same time as us is not just a coincidence, so I try to keep a certain distance from him.
Therefore, I did not answer Andrew's words very enthusiastically, but just nodded politely in return.
"Zhou Cang, you are too polite. We will become good friends." Andrew seemed to have not been splashed by my cold water, still smiling.
"Xiangyu, the old gentleman has arranged a wing room for you. You can move in first, then wash up and change clothes. It's raining heavily today and there are no pilgrims in the temple. We have a lot of freedom." Old Li said, moving Xiangyu's
The oxygen tank was carried out first.
Xiangyu also said that he felt very uncomfortable now and wanted to check whether there were any wounds, and then talk to us in detail about the underwater experience.
We each went back to our own rooms.
The number of rooms in the small temple is limited, so Zhang Jisheng and Lao Li were squeezed into the same room. It is said that Andrew and the others were originally crowded into the same room, but after a trip to Laoye Temple, only Andrew came back.
,So, under Miao Zhu’s arrangement, Zhang Jisheng and Andrew now live in the same house.
As soon as he returned to the room, Lao Li closed the door and then said to me: "If foreigners have problems, they need to know how to understand."
He spoke to me in Chaoshan dialect, which really surprised me. Lao Li was actually from the Chaoshan area.
"Lao Li, where are you from? How could you hide yourself so deeply? You communicated with us in Mandarin along the way." I also asked in my hometown dialect.
"Brother Zhou, it doesn't matter where I come from, as long as you know that I am yours. The young master knew early on that the water in Poyang Lake might be turbider than Wawu Mountain, so he arranged for me to be here early in the morning
Let me help you." Lao Li said, looking very calm.
"Lao Li, did Chen Mo tell you anything? Did he enter the waters of Laoye Temple with a person who looks exactly like me? How much do you know about the inside story? Please tell me clearly." I said a little anxiously.
.
"Brother Zhou, please forgive me for having no comment. When the time comes, I will make it clear to you what should be told to you. Just like now, when Andrew appears, I will tell you that he is not a simple university professor. You must always
Pay attention to Andrew's every move." Lao Li said, lighting a cigarette.
I stood up a little anxiously and raised my voice: "If you don't tell me the cause and effect, then why should I believe you? If Andrew comes over and tells me later, you, Lao Li, are not simple either.
If there is a conspiracy, how should I choose?"
"Brother Zhou, you are such a wise person and will make the right judgment. As for this, you can choose for yourself where to go." Lao Li said, stood up and left the room.
Everyone is so mysterious, and they even claim to be protecting me, but little do they know that I am so protected that my heart is full of fire.
There was nothing I could do about Lao Li. The curious bug that had been successfully seduced made my heart itch and hurt. The fire in my heart had nowhere to vent. I could only tear up the quilt on the bed and yell at the same time.
One sound.
"Zhou Cang, are you okay?" Andrew appeared at my door out of nowhere, and his sudden voice startled me.
This foreigner is really haunting, and Lao Li is really a master of magic. Fortunately, we were talking in his hometown dialect just now. Therefore, even if this old man was hiding in the next room and eavesdropping, he should not understand what we are talking about.
.
"Mr. Andrew, are you okay?" I felt a little embarrassed because I had lost my composure in front of strangers, so I asked politely.
"I want to invite you to have a cup of coffee together." Andrew said.
I didn't like Andrew at first, and because of Lao Li's words, I thought it would be better to have less contact with him, so I excused myself: "No, I was just fished out of the lake, and I'm very tired and want to sleep."
A sleep."
"You don't like coffee, then let's switch to tea. I especially like the Chinese tea ceremony. Zhou, I heard from Yu that you opened an antique shop. Many years ago, I collected something from China. I asked many people,
No one can understand what it is, but maybe you can," Andrew said, taking out a gilt brocade box from his pocket, but did not open it, "Zhou, I am waiting for you in the small hall just now.
Great ride."
Andrew said, smiled at me, and then left at a leisurely pace.
The fire in my chest burst out all of a sudden. You two have agreed to come together to whet my appetite, right? Then I won’t buy anyone’s account and just sleep in the room. Who cares?
You can stand me.
In a fit of anger, I spread the bedding that I had just messed up in a mess, then closed the door and fell asleep.
However, I was so unambitious that within ten minutes of tossing and turning on the bed, I used several reasons to convince myself to see Andrew.
