Chapter 39: The Informer (3)
Li Fuyu spoke for a long time: "Brother, I didn't expect you to come back......" He wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Yiting actually didn't know much about this cousin, but he probably heard that he was a little unprofessional, and even a little loser.
He only came out out of politeness, and rubbed his hands when he saw this and said, "If there is anything difficult, just say it, I'll see if I can come up with an idea." ”
The weather during the Spring Festival is still a little cold, but fortunately the sun is out, but the mountain wind is not small, and Li Fuyu is shivering.
Li Yiting was a little strange, although Fuyu was a white-faced scholar, he was not so weak.
After waiting for a long time, Li Fuyu didn't speak, and Li Yiting couldn't help but say, "Are you looking for me for something?"
"Uh...... Yes. Li Fuyu simply squatted down, clasped his hands, and said with trembling lips, "My dad is gone!"
Li Yiting frowned, and said angrily: "Three days and two disappearances, what kind of ghost is your family doing?" He remembered that a few days ago, Li Fuyu had searched all over the mountains and fields.
Li Fuyuzi pursed his lips and defended: "My dad is impatient and has a big temperament......"
Li Yiting said helplessly: "When did the fifth uncle leave home?"
Li Fuyu drooped his head: "It's been a few days...... Oh, it's the day the third uncle came out of the mountain. ”
Li Yiting remembered this incident, at that time he also participated in the discussion of reshaping Guanyin, and knew that this task was entrusted to the fifth uncle.
"The statue of Guanyin has been completed, why doesn't the fifth uncle go home?" Li Yiting was also a little strange.
Li Fuyu said anxiously: "Yes, no one has provoked him recently, and he won't be so angry that he won't come back Chinese New Year's Eve, in my memory, even if my dad is not home for 364 days a year, Chinese New Year's Eve is always there at night......"
Li Yiting interrupted him: "How are you so sure?"
Li Fuyu said: "I have a hobby, I will collect the red envelopes I receive every year, and then write the year, who else will give it, except this year"
"You still receive New Year's money at such an old age?......" Li Yiting was choked and didn't know what to say.
Li Fuyu was calm: "My mother said that if you are not married, you are a child." ”
"Okay. Li Yiting was helpless, "Then your father didn't come back last night, you are so calm?
Li Fuyu sighed: "My mother said that there is no need to look for it, she will definitely come back, it should be hiding in which uncle's house to bet on the treasure, and if you lose, you will naturally come back...... Then I waited and waited, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I found that my dad hadn't come back yet, so I ran to the mountain factory to look for him, but he wasn't there! I went to the house of a few uncles who frequented me and asked, and they also said that I hadn't seen my dad for a few days...... "This morning, my leg was about to break." ”
"No, it's really no way, I just came to you, brother, ......" Li Fuyu finished talking about the grievances in his heart, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, he was in awe of Li Yiting since he was a child, and he usually didn't dare to come to the door, but he knew that the second brother was very capable.
Li Yiting thought for a while before he said, "That's it, you eat something at my place first, and then I'll call a few friends to help you find it together." If you don't go home on the first day of the new year, it's not safe in the mountains, maybe something really happened, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, let's find someone and talk about ......"
"I, I can't eat. Li Fuyu suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yiting's arm, "Brother, I still have something to tell you...... Can you keep it a secret for me?"
Li Yiting stopped and said suspiciously: "Oh, what's the matter? ”
Li Fuyu stood up and seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother, you just came back, you may not know." That bullshit Xunzi in our village...... It's the Xun Yuanchun who tells the fortune in the east of the village, and he always comes to my house to find my dad every three or five times, and it's very mysterious, every time he talks, he carries me and my mother behind his back, which is weird. ”
Li Yiting frowned and said, "When did this happen?"
"For more than half a year, since this old guy came to the door, my dad always disappeared from time to time for a while, and then came back inexplicably. He paused, "It's been several times." ”
Li Yiting was surprised: "For such a long time, your father hasn't mentioned to you what he is doing?"
Li Fuyu shook his head decisively: "Every time my mother and I ask him, he asks us not to ask so much, anyway, the future will be better, and he will naturally tell us the truth." ”
Li Yiting suddenly said: "So, your father has found a big deal...... By the way, how long will he be out?"
"Uh......" Li Fuyu really thought about it, "the short is three to five days, and the long is half a month." ”
Li Yiting sighed: "You guys have really big hearts, aren't you afraid that your father will break the law or something to make money?"
Li Fuyu shook his head quite firmly: "My dad has been honest all his life, relying on a craft, and he will never break the law." ”
"I hope so. Li Yiting stretched out his hand and patted Li Fuyu's shoulder, and said authentically, "I hope you can also inherit the mantle of the fifth uncle." ”
Li Fuyu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm really not this material, my father has said it many times, and I also accept my fate." ”
Li Yiting nodded: "Okay, everything is as it is." ”
