    Li Bo ….

    I didn’t have a good impression of the butler, I always felt that he didn’t seem like a good person, and now that I’ve been through so much, I’m even more sure of that feeling.

    I asked Xiao Xuan: “How’s your relationship with that homeroom teacher named Li Zi’ang, can he promise to help?”

    Xiao Xuan looked like she was remembering the past, and her face had a slightly unnatural expression.

    “I used to have a fight with my teacher because of my makeup at school, when I went back I asked my dad to send someone to beat him up, although we didn’t do anything, but we have never been on good terms, and I don’t know if he still remembers me,” the words came to an end, Xiao Xuan lowered her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

    I said why don’t you try, you remember the phone number, now make a call and try, the newsstand stuff is important to us.

    “Playing now? It’s only five o’clock, people might not be up yet.”

    I said it’s not too late, try it, maybe it’s already up.

    Xiao Xuan held down her cell phone for a few minutes, recalling the phone number and hesitating for a while before finally gathering the courage to press the dial button.

    The first time did not get through, Xiao Xuan confirmed the cell phone number, and then added 00852 before the number.

    00852 was adding the cell phone number, and after waiting for a few moments, the sound of an unfamiliar man s portentous voice suddenly came from the cell phone.

    “Thunder Monkey.”

    “Thunder Monkey? Who’s that?”

    Xiao Xuan doesn’t know if she’s afraid of life or not talking because of something, so I point to my cell phone screen and signal her to talk back quickly.

    Xiao Xuan picked up the cell phone and put it to her ear, finally gathering the courage to open her mouth.

    I don’t quite understand, I guess it probably means, “Hello teacher, I’m Zhao Xuanxuan, a former student of yours, sorry to bother you so early in the morning.

    The other party was silent for a moment as if remembering, and then the pitch suddenly rose and he rattled off a whole lot.

    The long-distance call took nearly twenty minutes to hang up.

    I said Xiao Xuan how come your Mandarin is so good, you teacher how to speak like this.

    Siu Suen said that half of her father’s fishing company, including the shareholders, were Mainlanders, and she learned Mandarin at a very young age and naturally spoke it.

    I asked her again, “Well? Did this Mr. Leon Lee say yes?”

    Xiao Xuan nodded her head and said, “He doesn’t have time to go over there in the morning when he has class, but he promised to go to that newsstand in the afternoon or evening to help ask around.”

    I nodded my head yes in relief.

    The two places are thousands of kilometers away from each other, right now I can only in my heart meditation, I hope things are still in the newsstand, if not, I really do not know what to do.

    …….

    After a night of no sleep I would get sleepy in the morning, and I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, a plethora of clips kept flashing through my mind like a slide show.

    Mustard Husband, Evergreen Club, Putting Head, Sister Hong, Yao Yumen, Golden Wind Yellow, Azza, Myriad Birds, Nine Clear Waters, Tearful Buddha, Old School, Blue Potion ……

    “What’s on your mind Peak?” I suddenly heard Beanpole calling me.

    When I opened my eyes, there was nothing around me again.

    “What are you doing there, Fish?” I looked up to see that Fish Wenbin was standing on top of the air raid shelter, looking back and forth at his surroundings from time to time.

    He jumped down the steps.

    “We came back in the latter part of last night, did you hear a noise.”

    “Voices? What sounds,” I said I didn’t hear any sounds, there are only a few of us living here in the bomb shelter.

    Fish rubbed his temples, “Maybe it’s because I’m too nervous, I think I heard a sound like beating a drum, just like the kind of rattle that children play.”

    “A rattle?”

    I thought about it and said Fish you may have really misheard me.

    He nodded and asked again, “Without getting into that, you seem to know who that severed hand belonged to before.”

    I told Fish that the man’s name was Chen Jiansheng, someone I met a year ago, and that he had once teamed up with someone to set me up, and that it was sort of a feud and a tie.

    “Quite impressive ah these people, cut off the hand to send over, I do not know whether it is the initiative to show kindness or want to scare you.”

    The two of us were chatting when Old Man came over with a large plastic bag.

    “Boss, I’ve brought the Welcome House Hall Oven Roasted Duck, let’s go to the roof for a drink tonight.”

    I forced a smile and said no Old Man, not really in the mood right now.

    Old Man is an optimist by nature and sometimes speaks like a philosopher.

    He laughed: “I know you’re busy, but, as the saying goes, when the car arrives at the mountain, there’ll be a mountain and a village in the darkness, I’m not looking for you to have a drink for no reason… You guys haven’t watched the news on TV, have you?”

    I asked Old Man what the news was on TV.

    “Meteor shower ah!” Lao Wen exclaimed: “Two days ago the TV and newspapers all said that our Ningxia is traditionally known as the hometown of the stars, the TV station said that tonight after eleven o’clock it will rain meteors, saying that the Aquarius meteor shower comes two months later than in previous years, and this time the amount is large, according to the experts’ prediction, once in fifty years!”

    I know that Ningxia is the city of stars, but now I’m so disillusioned that I still can’t muster up any interest in watching meteor showers.

    Lao Wen seriously said: “can not not believe, last October there was a meteor shower, that wishing is really accurate, I wished last year that the coming year to meet the nobility, this year you came to my Wen Shupu side, boss you are my nobility, my life has you ah.”

    Old Wen meat numb words hear me goosebumps, what do you mean in my life, and what I am a nobleman, he must be wrong, I’m a nobleman to bring him no good luck, to take him to prison is possible.

    I waited until late afternoon, when Xiao Xuan came running to tell me that there was news.

    I nervously asked, “Well? Did you find out if the stuff I hosted is still there.”

    Xiao Xuan shook her head and said, “He went to look for it in the afternoon, he said that all the newspaper kiosks on the west ring side were moved half a year ago, the reason is that the government wants to engage in road greening, the newspaper kiosk that you said is not known to be moved where for the time being, but the teacher said that he would continue to help look for it, what is it ah Yunfeng, it’s so important to you.”

    My heart tightened in fear of what was to come.

    I tried not to panic.

    “You’re begging the other guy to make some serious inquiries, and no matter what, find out where that newsstand has moved to.”

    Xiao Xuan agreed, said I try my best to try, he and I do not know each other too well, the other party on the heart or not I can not guarantee.
