Chapter 56: Leave to Die
Li Ergou's words came from the bottom of his heart, not for anything else, just for what Zhang Guilai said to him before, to live together, to die together, since Zhang Guilai can say such an expansion to their brothers, it means that Zhang Guilai really treats the two of them as brothers.

Since Zhang Guilai treats them as brothers, what reason do they have to abandon him, and Zhang Guilai is still in danger, if he leaves at this time, it will really be too bad.
Zhang Guilai's heart perked, he didn't expect Li Ergou to say such a thing, before Zhang Guilai took in the two brothers, but he just wanted them to follow his hand to support the scene, and later he found that the people Xie Tianxiang gave were very dishonest, and they did not obey Zhang Guilai's approach, he was his person in the open, but secretly he went to report to Xie Tianxiang anytime and anywhere.
This gave Zhang Guilai the idea of pulling a team that really belongs to him. What disappointed him was that there was no one suitable for him in this place, anyway, there were already Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan around him, so let's cultivate it first, although Zhang Tiedan's was a little dull, but his ability to recognize people was very strong, as long as he looked at the people he had seen, whether they were poor or rich, treacherous or slippery or loyal, he could see nine times out of ten, and because of this, when Zhang Guilai wanted to win over Ding Fengjun to come in, what Zhang Tiedan said was useless to become a tool to add fuel to the fire, he said so.
"Second Brother Ding is a strong-blooded person, he has his own arrogance in his bones, no one can control his thoughts, but if Second Brother Ding is used by us, he will definitely achieve our career. β
At that time, Zhang Guilai also joked: "What you said is too outrageous, how can I listen to what a fortune teller says so much." It's all clichΓ©s. β
Although he said so, Zhang Guilai could also feel a strong magnetic field from Ding Fengjun's body, but it was a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and this Ding Fengjun had no intention of getting involved at all.
Zhang Guilai looked at the sky, he also had his own thoughts in his heart, it was not a way to mix like this, Xie Tianxiang must be looking for him at this time, this Xie Tianxiang would definitely be furious after knowing this, Zhang Gui knew that there would be a catastrophe, but he was not afraid or panicked, what should come will always come, even if he hides to the ends of the earth, he can't escape, and now he has no ability to escape at all, what makes Zhang Guilai very strange is that it has been nearly a week, and he still doesn't see Xie Tianxiang send someone to find him.
He was surprised and couldn't help but think of a way out for himself at the same time, his future life would continue, he couldn't wait here for Xie Tianxiang to come to him, what if this Xie Tianxiang didn't come, then he Zhang Guilai would not have to starve to death here?
That day, Zhang Guilai called Li Ergou and said to him: "Ergou, we can't be so idle anymore, I thought about it, we definitely can't go to that small shop anymore, I plan to go back to my hometown for a few days, and then I will make future plans." β
Li Ergou thought for a while and said, "Big brother, what should we do with the two brothers?" β
Zhang Guilai shook his head and said meaningfully: "No, what do you two say, you have been in this town for a few years, everyone in this neighborhood knows each other, plus you both have your own skills, presumably you can still live in the town with your skills, I am different, except for fighting or fighting, I have no other specialties, I can't starve to death here, so I plan to go back to my hometown first to see if there is an opportunity suitable for me." β
Li Ergou touched his head and said, "Will the eldest brother still come to town?"
Zhang Guilai smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, one day if I really can't get along, maybe I will come to make you again." β
Li Ergou smiled innocently, he said a little embarrassed: "Big brother, don't say that, our brothers will definitely mix well here, if we can make a name for ourselves, we will definitely invite you back to be our boss when the time comes." β
Zhang Guilai was very pleased, he patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Good brother." β
After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, if you can meet those people who followed me before, tell them, let them fend for themselves, as for that old man Xie, if he sends someone to find me, you tell him that I have returned to my hometown, if you have the ability, let him go to the countryside to find me." β
Li Ergou nodded desperately.
Zhang Guilai didn't say anything more, he was now alone, a bare-bones commander, and he didn't need to pack anything up, he walked very freely, and he really left.
Li Ergou has taken Zhang Tiedan to do his old business since Zhang Gui came and left, one is responsible for stealing and the other is responsible for blackmailing.
Zhang Tiedan's slanderous words are all taught by Li Ergou, Li Ergou doesn't want his younger brother to know nothing, since God has left him a chance to eat, he has to make good use of it, although it is not used in the right path, but as long as he can survive.
Zhang Guilai stayed in his hometown for two years, and no one has bothered him in the past two years, of course, there will inevitably be stumbles between neighbors in the village. His reputation in the village is purely made with fists, no one will provoke him for no reason, even if there are some stumbles in daily life, others will swallow their anger and laugh over, which makes Zhang Guilai very comfortable.
In the past two years, he worked as an electrician, and also tried to learn to repair cars and repair tires, the car in that era was limited to bicycles, but this business did not make money, because there were very few people with bicycles at home in that era, and the bicycle could not burst tires every day, and then he simply built a house in a vacant lot in the village, and temporarily opened a store in the village, because the countryside was relatively poor and remote at that time, and there was no store in ten miles and eight townships, and everything to buy was in the townγ
Slowly, Zhang Guilai's quality of life has also improved, he also became the first 10,000 yuan household in the village to earn money to eat by his real skills, he also became the first person in the village to install electric wires, when his shop lit up a ten-watt light bulb, almost the whole village ran to his home to see, that night was like the New Year, so that the whole village was excited.
Zhang Guilai also bought a bicycle so that he could ride it every morning and evening from his home to the store.
Although Zhang Guilai's life has changed dramatically, his heart is still unhappy, because he knows that this is not what he wants, what he wants is to be rich and rich, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, he likes that kind of exciting feeling, and because of this, he will sit alone on the roof every night and drink until he is drunk, he only hates his ideals and ambitions No one can understand.
During his time in his hometown, he also tried to go to Ding Fengjun's village to inquire about Ding Fengjun's whereabouts, but the people in the village didn't seem to know too well, some said that they went to school, some said that they went to work, and no one could say any clues that convinced Zhang Guilai.
Slowly, under Zhang Guilai's unbridled profligacy, his shop was closed for a long time.
Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan are mixed up in the town, there are more rich people in the town, and there are more cyclists, they can naturally make a lot of money, plus Xie Tianxiang can't find Zhang Guilai at the same time, he directly sold the store, he also plans to give up the development in this town, and all his people are transferred, which undoubtedly provides Li Ergou with a broader space for development, and the only pity that the two of them feel is that no matter how hard they work, they will always be just ruffians, and there is no chance of development at all, sometimes they will think of Zhang Guilai, but the two of them have not yet made a name for themselves, I was embarrassed to go to Zhang Guilai, the three of them had no news of each other for two years, but Li Ergou always lived in the original place, and he firmly believed that Zhang Guilai would come to them again one day.
They didn't want Zhang Gui to come looking for them, they had already moved to a new house.
Today it rained heavily in the town again, this autumn seems to have rained a little harder, it just rained a few days ago, the water in the mud pit has not dried up, it has rained again, it is the so-called autumn rain and a cold, although Li Ergou has prepared thick clothes, but it is still cold in this damp and dark house, Zhang Tiedan curled up on the kang and wrapped in a thick quilt, he was also shivering cold, and kept asking Li Ergou: "Brother, why don't we live in another place, it's too cold here." β
Li Ergou smoked a cigarette, his face was full of sadness, and he said, "Insist on persevering." β
Zhang Tiedan asked puzzledly: "Brother, why do you still insist, aren't we already rich now?"
Li Ergou spit out a smoke ring and said, "It has nothing to do with the amount of money." β
Zhang Tiedan was even more puzzled, and he asked again: "Then why?"
Li Ergou sighed lightly and said, "For one person!"
Zhang Tiedan scratched his head, he couldn't come up with a reason after thinking about it, he said: "For whom, is he so important? Isn't it more important than our lives?"
Li Ergou turned his head to look at Zhang Tiedan, and said with a serious expression: "Zhang Guilai!"
Zhang Tiedan was stunned for a moment, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Why do we have to suffer here for him, we haven't seen him for two years, and in two years, maybe he has now forgotten about us." β
Li Ergou said coldly: "Fart, I believe he won't forget us, we are brothers, live and die together." β
Zhang Tiedan scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "He seems to have said such things, but why hasn't he come to us yet, two years is not a short time, he must have forgotten us." β
Li Ergou put the cigarette butt on the ground and said indifferently: "What do you fool know." β
Zhang Tiedan said unconvinced: "You are a fool, you don't use your brain to think about it, if he really wants to come back, why wait so long." β
Li Ergou smiled bitterly, how could he have thought that he would be called stupid by his stupid brother, and he couldn't figure out whether he was stupid or Zhang Tiedan was stupid.
"I'm sure he'll come back to us, just like those three days, and we'll not wait for his return. Li Ergou said categorically.
His eyes revealed firmness and undoubtedness, Zhang Tiedan was also helpless, he had always listened to Li Ergou, Li Ergou's decision represented his opinion, Zhang Tiedan was already tired at the moment, he yawned and said: "Big brother, do you think this is okay, let's wait for three more days, if he doesn't come in three days, we will move." β
Li Ergou fell into deep thought, he looked at Zhang Tiedan's tired face, and his heart was also guilty, he remembered his father's entrustment before he died, so that he must take care of his younger brother, Zhang Tiedan has a bad brain since he was a child, and he was always played by other children as dogs, he was angry and beat those children, as a result, the parents of those children came to ask for the guilt, but after learning that Li Ergou was an orphan, he kept ridiculing and beating them, which also made Li Ergou have the idea of being a bad person, he hated those who bullied them, he wanted to kill them, but in his childhood, he was constantly beaten, which also brought him a shadow on his soul, He was afraid of being beaten, worried that he would be beaten by others if he was not careful, until he met Zhang Guilai, his life changed dramatically, he realized the pleasure of beating people, and also understood what face is, but his heart is empty, because he has always had a guilt, that is, he did not take care of Zhang Tiedan.
Zhang Tiedan followed him without a comfortable day, he was worried every day, he didn't want to live like this for the rest of his life, he could not want anything, but at least let Zhang Tiedan live well, this is the motivation for him to live, Li Ergou also thought about dying when he was in the most difficult moment, but he could not rest assured that Zhang Tiedan, a fool, if even his dearest brother chose to abandon him, then he could only fend for himself.
Li Ergou pulled out of deep thought, when he looked at Zhang Tiedan again, Zhang Tiedan was already curled up in the quilt and fell asleep, Li Ergou tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and said softly: "Three days, you endure it for another three days, and we will move after three days." β
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door, and Li Ergou asked angrily, "Who?"
A dull answer came from outside the door.
"Zhang Guilai!"
