The fat man shrunk his neck, trotted into the yard, Xiao Lei wagged his tail and walked around the shoemaker, I knew he must have something to say to me, but I didn't know how to speak first, silently stroked Xiao Lei's head and teased.

The cobbler handed me a "Zhongnanhai" and said, "Come with me to buy a bag of soy sauce, and I can tell you about the general situation of Luancheng District! I have been in this place for more than ten years, and I know everything about it!"

"Okay, Uncle Wang!" I got up and walked after him towards the mouth of the alley.

Looking at his back from behind, I have the same feeling as when I first saw Hong Xiaokun, his shoulders are not very wide, but it gives a sense of stability, his waist is straight, and he walks with a sound of grasping the ground, and ordinary people really can't imitate it.

When I walked to the mouth of the alley, the shoemaker suddenly turned his head, his brows were intertwined, and he looked at my face without any malice, just the hesitation that he wanted to say and stopped, and he wanted to ask questions but didn't know where to start.

Seeing this posture, I think he should have guessed something, as if I guessed his identity, but everyone was not sure about each other, so he took a breath and said: "Uncle, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I promise that our conversation will not let the third person know!"

The muscles on the cobbler's face twitched slightly, turned around and walked straight forward, the two of us walked silently along the side of the road one after the other, no one said much, the temperature in the stone market in April and May was still very low at night, I sighed and asked him: Uncle Wang, have you been to Chongzhou before?

The shoemaker's feet stopped, his shoulders trembled violently, definitely not afraid, it should be excitement or consternation, after a long time, he turned around, a wry smile appeared on his cheeks that had been full of vicissitudes, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: I have never been there, and it is the first time I have heard of Chongzhou City.

I decided to pierce this layer of window paper, if he is really Chen Huajiao's father, I will also be a great achievement, even if it is not, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, the big deal will be lost later, smiled and said: "That's really a coincidence, you look a lot like one of my brothers, no, I should say that my brother looks a lot like yours!"

The cobbler nodded, his mood seemed to have been adjusted, and he smiled at me and said: This is the same as Chinese looking at Americans, thinking that all foreigners look quite similar, in fact, there are still differences in careful observation, how can there be two identical leaves in the world.

"That's right, how can there be two identical leaves, but two different cypress leaves must be more like birch leaves, after all, the same origin, hehe, I don't understand, just say nonsense, don't mind!" I blinked twice.

The smile on the cobbler's face froze, a trace of hesitation flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he sighed and said: Chenghu, you are a smart child, you must have guessed something, but I hope this guess will always be kept in your heart.

"I don't know anything else, but I understand what kind of experience it is to have a child without a father, when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, my father was arrested and put in prison, at that time I felt that my sky had fallen, and my life had changed dramatically, even now, although my father can no longer help me with anything, but I am very relieved to know that he is safe every day and has a happy life! Uncle Wang, no matter what the reason, don't you think you owe him too much? He also has a girlfriend now, and will soon be a father, do you think that if his child is born without seeing his father, will your heart hurt?" I let out a long breath and whispered a little excitedly at the cobbler.

He wiped his face and said in a particularly low tone: If he is allowed to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, both of us may be killed, do you think this is still necessary? I would rather my child hate me for the rest of my life, and I don't want to destroy his current life, can you understand?

"Will they be killed? Who? The Kong family or the government? If it's them, I'll figure out a way to do it?" I gasped.

He spat out the smoke, squatted on the ground, took a pebble and wrote the word "country" from the ground, and then quickly took the sole of his shoe off, shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly at me, can you still think of a way? Do you know that there is actually a very mysterious organization at the top? A perverted organization that kills people without any evidence, they don't need to use knives to kill us, and it is even easier to catch us, and killing two people is as simple as making a game.

When it comes to the high-level mysterious organization, I immediately think of the "Ninth Division", the unlucky monk and my brother Lin Kun, both of whom belong to unfathomable roles, of course, Lin Kun is much more immature, but the monk has always thought that he should be very strong, but Lin Kun seems to have said that the Ninth Division does not participate in the struggle between local forces, they only care about the "official", and asked him suspiciously: The Ninth Department doesn't care about ordinary people's affairs, right?

"You know the ninth?" the cobbler's pupils widened.

I snorted and said, "It's just a coincidence," uncle, continued.

The cobbler extinguished the cigarette butt, sighed and said: "The ninth place does not care about ordinary people, but I was not a common person before, have you heard a sentence?

"Yes!" I replied with a nod.

He looked up at the sky and said, do you know why the blood color was able to overwhelm the four major families in the first place? It is not because of how ruthless the blood horse boy is, nor because of how hard the training is, but because many of them have another identity in addition to bastards, soldiers of the Shishi garrison, in other words, at that time, the blood color horse boy beat people and called them performing official duties, but if they dared to fight back, it was a rebellion, so blood color could rise to the top at that time.

"A bunch of bastards with soldiers' cards?" I swallowed, not daring to imagine the strength of the blood at that time.

He let out a long sigh and said, not only a soldier's certificate, but even arbitrarily use the arms stationed in the barracks! And at that time, the blood-colored boss was a young and frivolous stupid hat, thinking that the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and no one would know about this kind of thing, and even built two ironworks in Luancheng District to make guns, and the result was like this?

"The ninth place wants to kill you?" My mouth was already so shocked that I couldn't close it, how domineering and crazy it was to build an iron factory and make guns by myself.

He lowered his voice and squeezed out three words: "Treason!" Immediately, I was shocked into a cold sweat.

Seeing that I was stunned, he smiled and said, do you still think that father and son must recognize each other?

"I... I do not know. I shook my head honestly, but I understood his previous sentence "It's better to miss each other than to be together."

He patted me on the shoulder and said, I am very satisfied to be able to save a life, knowing that they are all good, my heart can be completely put down, you are his brother, and you do treat him as a brother, I am very grateful, I hope your relationship will last forever, but you have to listen to my advice, everything must have a degree, beyond that boundary, there will always be someone to deal with you, for those powerful families try not to be enemies, try your best to make friends, for you, for everyone.

"But uncle, I just called him, or I'll call him again and ask him not to come. I hurriedly took out my phone and said to him.

The cobbler grabbed me, smiled and said: It's okay, as long as no one breaks through some things, he just doesn't exist, you just need to help me play sloppy later, I also want to sit at a table with him for a reunion dinner, and the family has a happy chat.

During the whole exchange, none of us mentioned the word "Chen Huajiao" once, and I couldn't be sure if I didn't mention it, and he didn't say it, maybe it was based on the protection of his son.

I said "um", went to the small supermarket with him to buy a bag of soy sauce, and after finishing his work, he ran to the clinic next door for a few minutes, and after a while, his face was covered with purple potion, and he covered his waist with one hand, and moaned at me with a staggering step: The motorcycle just now was riding too fast, did you see the license plate clearly?

"Oh? no. I shook my head and grabbed him and walked back.

When we walked to the mouth of the alley, Chen Huajiao and Chen Ke happened to drive a "modern" car and arrived at the place, seeing us like this, Chen Huajiao and Chen Ke hurriedly helped me to help the shoemaker, and asked me with concern What's wrong?

I spat angrily and said, just now a few gangsters raced and injured Uncle Wang, by the way, let me introduce to you, this is the fat man's biological master, Uncle Wang, who has taken care of the fat man a lot these days.

"Thank you, uncle. Chen Huajiao politely nodded and smiled at the shoemaker, the smile on the corner of his mouth was the same as that of the shoemaker, which made my heart ache faintly, I think the farthest distance in the world is my own son standing in front of me, but I can only be called Uncle Wang.

The cobbler waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health, but it's you, it's not cold for the child to wear so little on such a cold day?" This is your daughter-in-law, right?

I deliberately slowed down my pace and kept my distance from them, so that the three of them could have more time to contact, looking at the background of the three people from afar, I took out my mobile phone and took a photo of them...
