In the courtyard, Xiang Dong and a young man were talking, the young man was familiar, he had seen it in the house of the bald man before, he was holding a towel on his shoulder, and the basin in his hand seemed to be waiting for Li Tianchou to come out.

"Done?" asked Xiang Dong.

Li Tianchou nodded, "Uncle seems to be asleep again." ”

"It doesn't matter, he sometimes takes a nap, you go in. Normally, this is a long time ago. "Tell the lad to the east.

Watching the young man enter the house, he handed Li Tianchou a cigarette to the east, "It's hard in the mountains, are you still used to it?"

Li Tianchou smiled, "I grew up in the mountains, and the conditions here are much better, no problem." ”

Xiang Dong also smiled politely, looking a little reluctant, "Uncle's body is becoming more and more worrying, it is rare for you to come back, accompany him more." ”

"Yes. But everyone should also persuade him more, and it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Li Tianchou still couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Xiang Dong lowered his voice, "Persuade, it's useless." If you talk too much, you lose your temper, and it's really inconvenient now. ”

Li Tianchou was stunned in his heart, he understood what this "inconvenience" meant, and he felt very uncomfortable. In such a day of hiding, he doesn't even have the right to see a doctor and treat him normally, and it is estimated that Uncle Geng is also unwilling to cause more trouble to everyone, and the current crisis situation may lead to death if he is not careful.

He remembered Uncle Geng's previous entrustment, "Take everyone to a good future", obviously not referring to being an official and making a fortune, Uncle Geng hopes that everyone around him can get rid of the shadow of the past, be an upright person, and live an ordinary life. But this point has become Uncle Geng's extravagant hope, and he can't see hope even at a great price.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and it is difficult to extricate yourself as long as you step into them. This is the original words of Brother Xiao in the detention center, and it does make sense now that I think about it. Li Tianchou originally had a vague understanding of the concept of rivers and lakes, and now he is in the clouds, but he can deeply understand the difficulty of the brothers in the car dealer who want to get rid of this kind of life.

This matter is almost impossible to complete, but Li Tianchou did not hesitate to accept it, mainly for selfish reasons, for the so-called "broken dream", but obviously it was not well thought out, so in Uncle Geng's opinion, it was perfunctory.

No wonder Uncle Geng asked him to think seriously for two more days, this kind of entrustment has a great responsibility, ordinary people can't play, and ordinary people can't play, because no one knows how to play. But why did Uncle Geng choose himself? Thinking of this, Li Tianchou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly felt a huge pressure, and his chest was like a huge stone.

"What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Xiang Dong saw Li Tianchou's expression suddenly stiffen, and hurriedly asked.

"Oh, no, no. It might be a bit upset to just go up the mountain. Li Tianchou explained with a smile, "By the way, didn't you see Ah Wei?"

"Sleep. He was at night and I was during the day, and we were on duty in turns. Xiang Dong smiled, "This stupid boy can walk without crutches now, damn, better than me." ”

As he was talking, the courtyard door opened, and Xiao Song came in with a food plate, which should have brought breakfast to Uncle Geng, and saw that Li Tianchou and the others were smoking and talking in the courtyard, so he asked casually, "Uncle hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Get up, just wash and scrub, I'll show you. Xiang Dong threw away the cigarette butt and knocked on the door and entered the house.

Seeing this situation, Li Tianchou also hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt, he guessed that it might be inconvenient for Xiao Song, so he said, "I'll help you bring it in." ”

"No, every time my uncle eats, I have to supervise it next to me, otherwise, hum. Xiao Song was serious, Li Tianchou didn't insist anymore, and guessed in his heart that Uncle Geng might not eat smoothly and had anorexia.

At this time, there was laughter in the front yard, and I don't know what kind of demon moth Peng Weihua and they are doing. "It's time to eat, you go to the front, everyone is waiting for you. Xiao Song turned his head and Nunu's mouth.

"It doesn't matter, you haven't eaten either, have you? ”

Seeing that Li Tianchou had no intention of leaving, Xiao Song's face turned red, "My aunt and I have eaten first, you can go, and you will go east in a while." ”

Li Tianchou had no choice but to nod and turn away.

After breakfast, You Shilong and Zhu Lei went to sleep in their own rooms, and it was said that they would have to go down the mountain in the afternoon. Because the two of them found a very bad sign, a third party appeared between Uncle Geng and Sun Guizi, that is, the group of people who attacked Li Tianchou at night.

Zhu Lei is very sure, the origin of that couple is very strange, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has heard and understood a little about the characters around several underworld bosses, but he has never heard of these people. The sea bald man is an old athlete, but it sounds very unfamiliar.

Everyone carefully inquired about the story of Li Tianchou's attack, and after discussing for a long time, there was still no clue, the newly rising Ah Hao was suspicious, but the reason was not sufficient, maybe Nie Tao would have some unexpected gains after he came back, after all, the killer business he was in was a different world.

But the water and the sky still have to be watched, of course You Shilong and the others have to continue to work, the bald man went to Uncle Geng to discuss this matter, and Peng Weihua had other important things to go down the mountain, he beat his spirit and blew a few more words and went to sleep.

Li Tianchou was left alone in a huge hall, everyone was busy, but he ate and lived in vain, and he had to stay bored for two days, which was really boring. was going to go out for a walk, but Xiao Song came back with an empty plate.

"Uncle has eaten?" Li Tianchou asked with concern.

Xiao Song nodded, looking not in a good mood, and didn't want to say more, "You go to sleep for a while, you've been on the road all night." ”

"Not sleepy, uncle doesn't want to eat well?" Li Tianchou asked tentatively.

"No, I can't eat it. Xiao Song shook his head and nodded.

Such a situation is a headache, Li Tianchou did not give up, "Why don't you ask Dr. Gu, what is the reason, he has to tell the truth, right?"

"He really has no choice, last time Peng scoundrel forced him to ask him, which made his uncle lose his temper, useless. Xiao Song sighed, looking helpless.

The two fell into a brief silence, but Li Tianchou felt even more depressed. He suddenly wondered, what would happen to everyone once something happened to Uncle Geng?

The only ending may be that the tree will fall apart, because Uncle Geng is the irreplaceable spiritual pillar in this collection, and if he is gone, no one will be convinced. The ending is naturally a breakup, but this is the most important and the worst outcome.

There are all kinds of people in this set, there are many fierce people, and most of them can continue to mix in the rivers and lakes with their own skills, but they will inevitably be chased and killed by the enemy or even arrested by the public security. Therefore, after dispersing, the difficulty of survival will be multiplied.

And there are people who can't be mixed up, and at the same time they are very innocent, will they be even more miserable? What about Xiao Song? What about a few doctors? What about the young men brought by the sea bald, including Ah Wei and Xiang Dong, who are already disabled?

This pile of problems is infinitely stressful, and Uncle Geng may have found a solution, but unfortunately his body is in trouble, so he will entrust himself again and again. Do you have this energy? And if you do, where does your prestige come from?

"Let's go out for a walk, shall we?" Xiao Song finally broke the silence, this was originally what Li Tianchou wanted to say, but he was distracted in the entanglement. But this is good, but it reminds him of the scene of walking with Xiao Song on the river beach of the bald man's house.

"Okay, let's go for a walk. Li Tianchou stood up suddenly, looking more anxious than Xiao Song.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get something. Xiao Song got up and walked quickly to another room, and after a while, he came over with a burden, "Okay, let's go." "It sounds a little lighter.

Li Tianchou didn't ask much, the two said hello to Uncle Hai's wife and went out.

"Where are you going? ”

Xiao Song said, "Let's go to the village below the mountain. ”

"Won't it be inconvenient, right?" Li Tianchou was puzzled, worried that Uncle Hai would have some taboos.

"No, the people in the village are very simple and have little contact with the outside world. Xiao Song was very sure, "And I lived here when I was a child, so I am very familiar with it." ”

Li Tianchou was secretly surprised, Xiao Song had lived here, could it be that this was Uncle Geng's last base camp? If I remember correctly, once, when he Uncle Geng was talking, he said a place name called Cai Jiayuan.

The two of them slowly descended along the mountain road, and after a while they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a small slope in front of them connected to the plain below the mountain, covered by various shrubs and unknown wildflowers.

Under the greenery, a looming path leads to a farmhouse on flat land in the distance. Although he was no longer in the mood to pick flowers, Xiao Song was still happy, walking and jumping, Li Tianchou followed behind, and his heart was strangely much quieter.

The farmhouse is connected by a small road to the east and a west one, surrounded by farmland, and it is not a regular layout, but it also seems to be scattered. It may be because the plain area is not large, and there are no decent paddy fields, but there are many sugarcane fields, which are more than one person high, like green gauze tents.

Xiao Song led Li Tianchou not to go too deep, and stopped in front of a small courtyard surrounded by broken wooden strips, the courtyard was very small, with three tiled houses, which looked well built, and formed a sharp contrast with the broken wooden strips of the courtyard wall. There was a loud reading sound in the house, Li Tianchou was deeply surprised, this is actually a country school, and then carefully look at a yellow wooden sign at the gate of the courtyard, which reads "Caijiayuan Primary School".
