Chapter 12 Get to the bottom of it
Zhang Deli held a cigarette in his mouth, quietly sat in the driver's seat of the Buick business class, his brows were furrowed and he could almost wring out the water, this was Xiamen Airport at eight o'clock in the evening, and the travelers who came and went brought or took away the lights, and gradually lit up the city that sank into darkness, but the rising light did not take away the obscurity on Zhang Deli's face, he looked at the direction of the airport gate in a distracted manner, and suddenly felt very weak.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaocao, who was sitting on the side, rubbed his hands, glanced at Zhang Deli with some concern, after coming to the airport, this big brother who made him a little admired has always been like this, this state made Yu Xiaocao can't help but start worrying about the plans behind, although everything is so simple and easy, but Yu Xiaocao always felt a dangerous aura, which made him fidget, and couldn't help but pull Zhang Deli and asked: "Brother Zhang, today, there won't be an accident, right?"
"What can be the matter?" Zhang Deli was stunned for a moment, finally reacted, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't look at your big brother Fei is not very shrewd, but those Taoists in my heart are also straight to the sky, even if I mess up this game, he has a backstroke waiting for him, it's a pity!"
"Brother Da Fei is not that kind of person, right?" Yu Xiaocao was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment with some uncertainty, and then said strangely: "Brother Zhang, what are you saying that is a pity?"
"It's a pity for you. Zhang Deli sneered and said: "Although I often look away, but I am not unlucky all my life, your big brother Fei's ability is much better than mine, but he has everything hidden and tucked, the result is good, you two boys can only cross the river by touching the stones, especially Dai Xiaohua, and actually do the kind of stupid thing of crying dad and asking your mother to kowtow to people, has no one ever told you that this person can't kneel?" It's easy to kneel down, but if you want to stand up again, perhaps, it will take a lifetime, I have never seen this big brother, we are there, even if you are unhappy to look at you from above, we will not play this trick. ”
"He, he didn't take us for a long time, Dai Xiaohua and I used to be in school, and they didn't let us do this. Yu Xiaocao coped with a stumbling sentence, turned the topic to Zhang Deli, and asked: "Brother Zhang, how are you doing over there? In the evening, I listened to you talking to Brother Da Fei, and when you talked about your side, you seemed to be very proud." ”
"I don't want to say it, that's nothing, it's like that anyway. Yu Xiaocao's style made Zhang Deli's eyes light up, and there was suddenly a smile on his face, but then this smile became dim, and he suddenly found that the old man who made him hate was actually really good to him. So Zhang Deli shook his head and said lightly: "It's all in the past, a long time ago, I was a poor boy that no one could look down on, and I didn't have anything to look up to, and I looked so ugly, so no one liked me, and later, I met them, and when we stood together, no one in the world dared to underestimate me, that was, that was the happiest day in my life." ”
"No one dares to look down on you now. Yu Xiaocao saw Zhang Deli's expression so gloomy, and couldn't help but panic, he was only in his early twenties, his life had just begun, and he didn't know how to comfort a person, so he had to say dryly: "Brother Zhang, your skills are so high, and you are still very upright, I believe that one day everyone will like you, just like yes, just like those heroes in the movie." ”
"What kind of hero am I?" Zhang Deli smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said: " People like us, even if they do good deeds, in the final analysis, they are just deceiving people, but some people are doing good deeds in order to deceive people, and some people are deceiving people in order to do good deeds, these things are not clear, and if you are used to deceiving people, you will go down the evil road, so you have to find something above board to do, so that you know that you have the ability to do it is not a mess, but unfortunately, people's paths are not something you can choose, just like now, even if you know that what you are doing is not a good thing, but do I have a choice?"
"Brother Da Fei is a very righteous person, he makes money, and he uses it to help people. This sentence did not make Yu Xiaocao hesitate, and retorted bluntly: "The money used by several of us to go to school is given by Brother Da Fei, and I usually meet a down-and-out friend, Brother Da Fei is also willing to help, he has a nickname in Xiamen, called Reincarnation Meng Wei, that is, he is as generous as Meng Weijun." ”
"Reincarnate Meng Wei?" Zhang Deli sneered and said: "Is it really because Meng Yanjun has collected the roosters and dog thieves because he likes to make friends? Isn't it because he has taken a fancy to their abilities and thinks that he can use them for him in time, he is righteous to you and is willing to spend money for you to go to school, but have you ever thought about how he got this money and what he has done for this money? Also, do you really think that this money does not need to be repaid?"
"This..."Yu Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, and said with confused eyes: "It's smuggling, everyone is doing this, and there's nothing excessive, as for repaying the money, he never asked for it, and Dai Xiaohua and I came to help him, it was willing." ”
"If it's really taking the money to do good deeds, that's it. Zhang Deli shook his head and sighed, and said: "Although I don't know what he has done and who he has helped, but from the point of view of the customs, what he did is not right, although that Cao Xuewen has cut off your financial route, is it wrong for him to do so? If he does nothing, have you ever thought about what will become of Xiamen?"
"Everyone will go to smuggling, right?" This answer didn't require much thought, so Yu Xiaocao said without hesitation: "Even so, this is a good thing, the price is so high, the state collects so many taxes, and smuggling is thriving, so everyone can buy cheaper things." ”
"That's the problem, and you're not entirely right. Zhang Deli shook his head and said: "At the beginning, everyone may have cut their scalp to do this business, but everyone's foundation is different, some have money, some have people, and gradually they will be divided into three, six, nine, etc., the original strong will only become stronger, and the weaker and weaker will be squeezed out by the strong, and the lucky ones can still keep some family business, and the unlucky ones will not even have bones left, and after having money, what will they do?" This problem, I'm afraid that even children know, after having money, they will have a beautiful scenery, eat well, wear well, play well, this is human desire, at the beginning, maybe they can still behave properly, but the door of human desire, once opened, there will be a lot of messy things, eat enough of the general goods, you have to eat what others can't eat, play enough everyone has played, you have to play everyone has not played, in the long run, these people, will become a terrifying existence you don't know, their name, called Haoqiang Tiger Wolf, eat, is the flesh of the common people, drink, is their bloodSo what Cao Xuewen did was not wrong at all!"
"But Brother Da Fei is not like this, I know he is very rich, but until now he still lives in the small attic of the hotel, and he is reluctant to even take a taxi when he goes out!" Yu Xiaocao was stunned for a long time, and retorted: "He used to be like this when he had no money, but now that he has money, his money has never been used on himself, he is a good person!"
"You can guarantee that your Da Fei brother will be consistent no matter whether he is rich or poor, but can you guarantee the others?" Zhang Deli sneered and said: "Cao Xuewen's existence, although you didn't make any money, at least blocked the way of those tigers and wolves, let them know that this is not a world where they can act recklessly, based on this alone, Da Fei has done something wrong, and besides, he is the kind of person who doesn't need me to remind him at all!"
"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle was against it at first. Silent and silent, Yu Xiaocao suddenly opened her mouth, lowered her head and whispered: "But later, a monk came to the house..."
"What, how old is it, what does it look like?" Zhang Deli was taken aback, his pupils shrank sharply, and he stared at Yu Xiaocao's eyes and asked, "Is it an old man, or a middle-aged man, not tall, and speaks with a southern accent?"
"No!" Yu Xiaocao was startled, shook his head like a rattle, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, it's a young man, thin, and his scalp is pasted on at a glance, it's a fake, and he doesn't know what he said to the fourth uncle, so he doesn't care." ”
"Then it's not him. Zhang Deli was a little disappointed, but also a little happy, smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he was really too nervous, if it was that person, where would he be known so easily, even if he had something to do with that Da Fei and the fourth uncle, he would not be seen by a reckless young man like Yu Xiaocao unabashedly, so he shook his head, patted Yu Xiaocao on the shoulder and said: "I thought it was my friend who likes to play tricks on people, so it doesn't seem to be." ”
"But this thing is not right, is it?" Yu Xiaocao nodded, and said with some struggle: "Fourth Uncle often says that you must have a conscience to be a man, if Commissioner Cao is really like you said, we just did bad things, but Brother Da Fei is kind to me, this, what should I do." ”
"A man's path is not chosen by oneself. Zhang Deli sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm like this, you are also like this, you can't escape, since you can't choose, the rest of the way is to go to the end, the plane, it's about to land..."
