Chapter 924
"What to drink? How about coke?"
"White water is good. I'm old and can't drink carbonic acid. I'm losing my teeth recently." the old man said with a smile.
Li Qing shrugged his shoulders, took a glass from the cabinet, took a glass of pure water and handed it to the old man. The latter took the cup, drank it up and licked his cracked lips.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing took the cup back, took another glass of water and put it on the table in front of the old man. This time, the old man just grabbed the cup with one hand and drew a circle on the table, but he didn't drink.
Li Qing untied his shirt collar, took a deep breath and sat opposite the old man: "what's your relationship with Zhao Qili?"
The old man didn't lift his head: "I'm Zhao Qili."
Li Qingzhang opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart. What's the matter with the old man? Is it really a mental problem? Would you like to take him to a mental hospital first?
Without hearing Li Qing's reply, the old man raised his head and stared at Li Qing: "don't you believe it?"
Li Qinggan smiled: "Zhao Qili is about 30 years old. How old are you this year? It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not. It's completely impossible."
"It's not your fault. It's really incredible." the old man stared at Li Qing for a while and lowered his head again. "I saw the ancient boat."
Li Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and she didn't know how to answer. If the person in front of him is Zhao Qili, the age gap between the two is too big. If not, how could he know the ancient boat?
Fortunately, the old man didn't give Li Qing a chance to speak. He said to himself, "I was unconscious at that time. Later, I was awakened by cold water. The first person I saw was Gu Zhou. He asked me a lot of questions, mainly about this operation."
At this point, the old man suddenly stopped and remained silent for a long time. Then he clenched his teeth and whispered, "you people with blood skeletons really have means."
Li Qing frowned slightly and couldn't understand the meaning of the old man's sentence.
The old man's cloudy eyes hid behind the gray lenses, but a sneer quietly spread from the corners of his mouth. In front of Li Qing, he tore open the skirt of his chest. Li Qing was stunned to find that there were dense bruises on the old man's chest. It's not obvious trauma, but it seems to be the trace left by something crawling under the skin.
"Are you blood skeletons interrogated in this way?"
The pupil suddenly shrunk, and Li Qing shook his head: "no, this is the means of the ancient boat."
"Oh." the old man nodded gently, "no wonder he said it was a very fresh experience, really fresh..."
Li Qing suddenly felt a strange emotion: "did you say it?"
"That kind of pain..." when the old man said this, he couldn't help shivering and showed a look of fear. "If it were you, you would tell him all the truth without reservation."
Li Qing didn't say a word, but he knew very well that the ancient boat did have this ability.
The old man said, "he kept his word. After I answered all the questions, he spared my life."
Li Qing shrugged and leaned gently against the back of the chair: "even if you say so, I still don't believe you are Zhao Qili. It's only more than half a month since the last face I saw with Zhao Qili. I really can't believe he will grow old like this."
The hand holding the cup tightened. The old man picked up the water cup and drank water. His lips moved slightly, and then he lifted his neck to drink all the water in the cup.
"That's what happened later." the old man whispered, "the ancient boat showed me a way. I climbed out of the ground and almost exhausted all my strength. There were some people searching outside. I suspected they were military people and didn't dare to act rashly. When it was dark, I sneaked out and slipped into daqianpo town."
Li Qing said in a deep voice, "why don't you dare to contact them?"
"The mission failed." the old man only answered this sentence, but Li Qing already understood what he meant.
"I hid in daqianpo town for three days. I was going to flee overseas with my relationship..." the old man's voice was very low. "On the fourth morning, I began to lose my hair, wrinkles and color spots appeared on my face, and my eyesight was nearly reduced. Even with glasses, I couldn't see clearly five meters away."
Li Qing's body was tight and his face was stunned: "what do you mean..."
"Yes, I have premature aging. At first, I just thought it was physical exertion, weakness and need to rest. In this way, it took me a few days to feel the drastic changes in my body. In addition to the serious decline in my physical fitness, there were common senile diseases such as arthritis. My aging speed was very fast. It was beyond recognition in just more than ten days." The old man smiled bitterly, "at this point, I'm not in a hurry to escape China. After all, no one can recognize me."
Staring at the old cheek in front of him, Li Qing stood up straight, opened his mouth and said a word for a long time. His voice was very difficult: "you... Are you really Zhao Qili?"
The old man looked up and stared at Li Qing. His face suddenly calmed down: "you haven't changed at all. It's really enviable. I've been sitting in a time machine for half a month. One day is better than one year. If I continue like this, I'll come to an end in a short time."
