"Other forces?" After listening to Brother Hulu's words, I frowned: "Who are you referring to?"

"I don't know either!" Brother Hulu shook his head and continued: "It is precisely because I don't know who it is, so I should be more cautious, now that Niu Wancheng has fallen, Dapu's status has been greatly improved, so it is easy to be targeted by those newborn small forces, although this possibility is very small, but it cannot be ruled out that there will be a few ambitious people who will bury nails on our side in advance, and don't forget, in addition to these jackals, Anyang and Bai Song, the tiger is staring at us!"

I thought about it for a while, and felt that what Brother Hulu said was quite reasonable, so I nodded: "You guys have been talking together for so long, are there any problems with them, haven't you noticed?"

"If they were really ghosts arranged by others, they would naturally not be so easily exposed, and the reason why I have been taking them to places where they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble is because these places are the easiest places to expose a person's nature. Brother Hulu patted me on the shoulder: "While they are observing me, I am also observing them!"

I looked at Brother Hulu with a little surprise: "I didn't see it, you're quite smart!"

"Hehe, I really don't think I'm smart, but since I agreed to come back to help your eldest brother, then I have to be responsible for him!"

"Gotcha, don't me, say, what can I do?"

Brother Hulu smiled: "Last night, I already told Zhao Huaiyang that they will officially come to work tomorrow, and now at this time, they should all be at home to take their luggage, I have arranged for Shi Yigang and Yang Tao to go to Dale and Maomao's house respectively, and I will go to Zhao Huaiyang's house in a while." ”

"You mean, let me go to Zhou Tong's house to find out!"

"That's right, when you get there, you can just make a simple cliché and prove that what these people told us before is not lying. ”

"Does it make sense?" I looked at Brother Hulu: "If they really have a problem, this kind of thing must have been arranged a long time ago." ”

"That's what I said, but I still have to look at it, if I really can't get it, forget it, after all, they're just a few peripherals, as long as it's not too suspicious!"

“…… Okay!" After listening to Brother Hulu's words, I nodded and accepted the matter.

……

Zhou Tong is not from Longcheng Town, his family is in the next town, I followed the address given by Brother Hulu, and after about an hour, I rushed to the village where Zhou Tong's house was located, this village is not big, and it looks like there are only thirty or forty households.

'Squeak!'

After I parked the car at the entrance of the village, I poked my head out of the window and looked at the two old men sitting under the trees in the distance, enjoying the shade, and bragged loudly: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" ”

An old man looked at me: "Gossip." ”

"Yo, you're so old, you're quite fashionable. I grinned: "Is it celebrity gossip or political gossip?"

The old man looked at me like a fool, and said quietly: "Tai Chi gossip." ”

"Ah!" I was choked by the old man's words, and said with a sneer: "Uncle, let me inquire, is there a person named Zhou Tong in your village!"

"Zhou Tong, are you talking about Zhou Guoshu's son?" The old man thought for a moment: "There is only one family in our village whose surname is Zhou, but I don't know what his child's name is!"

"That's him, do you know where his house is?"

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the bumpy dirt road in the middle of the village: "You walk along this road all the way, and the poorest family you see is Lao Zhou's family!

"Okay, thank you!" I thanked the old man, and drove into the village.

I didn't go far along that road, I didn't have time to find a house, I saw Zhou Tong at a glance, he was squatting at the door of a courtyard at the moment, as the old man who pointed the way said, Zhou Tong's family is really poor, only two cracked walls, and some crumbling earthen houses, surrounded by a fence with tree branches, acting as a courtyard wall, guarding this dilapidated home.

'Squeak!'

I clicked on the brakes, braked the car directly at the gate of the yard, Zhou Tong saw a car parked in front of him, subconsciously looked up, I also saw him clearly in the car, Zhou Tong didn't know if he was sick or didn't rest well, it looked like his eyes were red, as if he had just finished crying, I pulled the handbrake and pushed the door directly to get out of the car.

Zhou Tong saw me push the door and get out of the car, and was stunned: "Brother Fei, why are you here?"

"Ah, our company has a site here to collect grass and miscellaneous grains, I came over to deal with something, just heard Brother Hulu say that your family is also here, so I thought, take you back to the company by the way!" After saying the words I thought of on the road, I smiled: "How is it, are the things finished packed?"

"Well, I'm going to get it when I'm done!" Zhou Tong saw me, stood up a little stiffly, and took out two packets of white and red plums from his pocket, seemingly wanting to give me cigarettes, but he glanced at his cigarette case, blushed, and subconsciously wanted to take it back.

"What's the matter, I can't bear it!" I was amused when I saw Zhou Tong's appearance.

"No, it's just that the cigarette is not good, I'm afraid you won't like it!" Zhou Tong smiled innocently, took out a cigarette and handed it to me.

"I'm not picky, for me, any cigarette is the same!" I lit my own cigarette and thought for a moment, "I remember, you don't smoke?"

"Hehe, I just learned it yesterday!" Zhou Tong said and was about to turn around: "Brother Fei, wait a minute, I'll go get something, let's go immediately!"

"It's okay, don't worry! By the way, is there water in your house? I ran out of water in my car, and my throat was going to smoke after driving all the way. As I spoke, I stretched out my finger and pointed to the courtyard: "I just want to rest my feet, is it convenient?"

Zhou Tong turned his head to look at the yard of his house, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the front: "If you want to rest, then let's go to the front yard and I will send a small house, his house is quiet!"

"No, it's okay at your house, I'm mainly thirsty and want to drink saliva!" I looked at Zhou Tong's concealed expression, and regardless of his obstruction, I walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, Brother Fei......" Zhou Tong saw that I had entered the courtyard, and immediately followed quickly.

Walking to a few earthen houses of their family, I found that Zhou Tong's family is really poor, except for two houses, there is not even a small warehouse, usually firewood or something, just placed in front of the door, half-covered door, the ground in the room is also pitted, it looks like the house has not been leveled when it was built, I just walked to the door, I heard a man's voice inside: "boy, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, today, I want to discuss it with you!"

Hearing the sound in the room, I subconsciously stopped, and Zhou Tong beside me also turned red, and the two people who spoke inside should be his parents.

"Ahem...... You say!" Zhou Tong's mother coughed twice, and answered in a weak voice.

"Otherwise, let's stop treating. ”

“…… OK!"

"If your disease can be cured, even if you are bankrupt, I am willing, but you are already in the advanced stage, and the disease of cancer has never been cured, and our family's conditions, if you continue chemotherapy, you have to go out and borrow money, but even if you borrow now, I can't borrow it......" Zhou Tong's father's words were only halfway said, and he choked up and couldn't make a sound.

"It's okay, I can understand!" Zhou Tong's mother's voice did not fluctuate, and she spoke very calmly: "I know that you are not a selfish person, and I can understand the choice you made, my illness has dragged you two down for so long, I am sorry for you!"

"Don't say that, it's me who is not promising!"

"I don't blame you, it's my life!"

"Alas......"

Listening to the conversation of his parents in the room, Zhou Tong's face was full of tears, and I realized that his red eyes were really crying.

After being silent for about a minute, Zhou Tong's father spoke again: "In the future, let's treat it conservatively, I see that it is often reported on TV and in newspapers, if you have home remedies to cure cancer, maybe there will be miracles in you!"

“…… Forget it, what kind of illness I have, I also know it in my heart, don't spend money on medicine, it's just that my disease has made Tongtong a pit. ”

"He's our son, it's his life!"

"Tongtong's child is so kind, why would he be such a mother as me!" Zhou Tong's mother responded, and there was a faint sob.

After hearing the conversation between Zhou Tong's parents, I somehow felt a little depressed, and then I didn't enter the door, but patted Zhou Tong's arm: "You come out with me!"

"Hey!" Zhou Tong wiped a handful of tears and followed me.

After arriving at the door, I opened the car door, took out more than 10,000 yuan directly in my bag, and handed it to Zhou Tong: "My ability is limited, so some things may be more than enough but not enough, you take this money first, treat your mother first, and when you return to the city, I will take 10,000 yuan for you!"

"Brother Fei, this..." Zhou Tong looked at the money in my hand with a sluggish expression.

"Take it, nothing is more important than human life!"

Zhou Tong looked at me, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You lent me this money, in case you need it urgently in the future, I may not be able to pay it back." ”

"Do you think that when my identity is really urgent, will 20,000 yuan be useful?" I smiled at Zhou Tong and patted his arm: "Go, after talking to the family, take the luggage, let's go back to Dragon City!"

Zhou Tong stood in place, silent for four or five seconds, then grabbed the money in his hand and looked at me: "Brother Fei, we haven't known each other for a long time, and I don't have much contact with you, I know that I shouldn't take this money, but my family really needs this money." ”

"I'll give it to you, you can take it, I don't usually make much money, if I say that I help your mother heal, it's a fantasy, but since I have met, even if I do my best!" I thought about it: "If there is any money-making work in the future, I will give you priority!"

'Brush!'

After listening to my words, Zhou Tong bent over and bowed directly to me: "Brother, when my mother's illness is cured, I will definitely pay you back this money!"

"Okay!" I saw Zhou Tong's serious appearance, and waved my hand casually: "Okay, let's go in!"

"Hmm..."

After Zhou Tong entered the door, I sat in the car, looking at the dilapidated appearance of their family, and then a little sad, Zhou Tong gave me the feeling that he was a simple and unpretentious guy, after learning about her mother's illness, I finally figured it out, why he was so silent and quiet, how could he choose to mix with society, it is estimated that it is because of this line of money fast, at this time I finally understood the benefits of having money, Zhou Tong's mother's disease is cancer, and Fang Devil is also cancer, but the two people are completely different endings, just because Fang Devil is rich, he can go to the best hospital for treatment, and the organs in the body can be changed if they are changed, and the poor Zhou family is facing cancerThe only thing you can do is to be quiet and helpless, slowly waiting for death to come.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Tong carried a nylon woven bag, opened the car door and sat in the car, I looked into his eyes, I guess I had just cried again, looking at his depressed appearance, I didn't talk to him, and drove away directly.

An hour later, as soon as my car drove into Longcheng, the phone rang, I glanced at it and answered the phone: "Hey, second brother?"

"Where are you?" on the other end of the phone, the second brother gasped and asked, sounding like he was quite angry.

"I was about to go back to the office, what's wrong?"

"Don't come back, go directly to the Colorful Light Song Hall, Mingjie and Mi Xuewei have a conflict, it seems that they have suffered a loss!"
