Chapter 7: The Man Who Delivered the Tape
Walking out of the ruffian ditch tea house, a cool night breeze blew in his face, which made Wang Shao's mind sober up a lot.
Coming to ruffian to collect debts tonight, the second uncle not only did not pursue the rough man's injury, but administered justice for his cousin, and asked Xiaoyu to repay the money within a time limit, but also insisted on taking himself to karaoke?
I have known my second uncle for less than an hour, and I don't know each other well, why should my second uncle treat him so well?
Even if the second uncle values his bravery, there is no need to be so gracious and invite himself to those places where the cost is high.
He is just a little-known young man in the town, how can a boss like the second uncle who has been in the society for many years be particularly important to himself.
Could it be that the second uncle has an ulterior conspiracy?
Looking at the old face of the second uncle with a shallow smile in the moonlight, Wang Shao secretly warned himself that he couldn't go to karaoke with the second uncle if he said anything!
Thinking of this, Wang Shao gently broke free from the pull of the second uncle, and categorically refused: "Second uncle, you don't need to go to karaoke, just say anything here."
The second uncle was stunned when he heard this, and carefully looked at the perseverance on Wang Shaoguo's face by the moonlight, and only sighed for a long time and said with a light smile: "Okay, it does have a bit of my temperament back then, not bad!" ”
Hearing the second uncle's answer, Wang Shao stood patiently in place, in a dilemma.
If it weren't for the fact that the second uncle helped his cousin order Xiaoyu to repay the money and relieve himself from the siege, Wang Shaozhen would not want to waste time here with this middle-aged man named the second uncle.
You must know that an hour ago, I was still talking about business with my friends, and because of a phone call from my cousin, I came to Xiaojia Village to ask Xiaoyu to repay the arrears, which caused so many follow-up troubles.
Maybe other people wish they could have this opportunity to be alone with their second uncle, but Wang Shao is not uncommon, because he doesn't want to make a name for himself in society, he just wants to do his business wholeheartedly and make money. Let the family live a happy life.
The old and sophisticated second uncle noticed Wang Shao's impatience, and immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Shao, and slowly continued: "Brother Wang Shao, let's go sit on the ridge next to you for a while." ”
The tone is flat, but there is no room for argument.
took the cigarette and lit it, Wang Shao sat on the edge of the ridge and took a few puffs.
The second uncle asked incomprehensibly: "Brother Wang Shao, do you remember what you used to hurt Da Sanyuan?" ”
The second uncle's words brought Wang Shao's thoughts back to half an hour ago, remembering that he was knocked to the ground by a rough man and accidentally picked up a twisted steel bar, which reversed the passive situation.
Could it be that the second uncle broke his promise and wanted to investigate the matter of injuring a rough man?
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Shao replied softly: "It's a twisted steel bar, I picked it up under the table." ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I quietly put that rebar under the table." The second uncle pretended to answer mysteriously.
"You said you put that rebar?" Wang Shao almost blurted out, staring at the second uncle's old face with a pair of big eyes, eager to pull the reason out of the second uncle's mouth.
"Yes, I put it." The second uncle answered affirmatively.
"Why?" Wang Shaobai was puzzled: he went to Ruffian Ditch to find Xiaoyu to collect debts, and injured the rough man, no matter how he said it, he was spreading wild on the territory of the second uncle, why did the second uncle do this?
Seeing Wang Shao's face full of disbelief, the second uncle added: "Because I appreciate your courage, especially in the face of the threat of the big three yuan, you didn't even say a soft word, just like me back then." ”
"So I want to see if you're really not scared, or if you're bluffing, and you're taking advantage of the chaos to put the rebar under the table." The second uncle continued to explain: "Speaking of which, I don't mean to help you, it's all up to your own courage. ”
"To tell the truth, you injured Da Sanyuan, which damaged the prestige of our ruffian, and I was supposed to teach you a hard lesson. But I didn't expect you to dare to fight back in that situation, and I was really impressed. If you didn't dare to fight back at that time, I wouldn't come forward to relieve you, let alone ask Xiaoyu to give Xiang Sanli a note of arrears. ”
After listening to the second uncle's explanation in one breath, Wang Shao was embarrassed.
Because his personality is similar to the second uncle who just debuted back then, and his brave personality is admired by the second uncle, so the second uncle quietly stuffed a steel bar under the table.
At that time, I was still a little puzzled, how could it be so coincidental, there was such a steel bar where I just fell, and I didn't expect that the second uncle deliberately put it there.
If you compromise with a rough man at that time, not only will it not help, but you may also attract malicious revenge from the second uncle.
Fortunately, I fought back desperately, otherwise I was afraid that I would have been lying on the hospital bed at this time, and my cousin's money would not be recovered.
But how can a rugged man say that he is also a ruffian, and the second uncle weishenme wants to bend his arm outward to help himself, an outsider?
"Brother Wang, I know you must be thinking in your heart, why should I help you like this?" The second uncle continued: "This is also the reason why I must keep you. Because I want you to do me a favor and fulfill a wish. ”
Help the second uncle fulfill his wish?
The second uncle, as the boss of the ruffian ditch, has been in the society for many years, and he can be regarded as rich and powerful, he is just a fledgling poor boy, what can help him, let alone what to fulfill his wishes.
Wang Shao's head shook like a drum: "Second uncle, you think too highly of me, how can I have the ability to help you fulfill your wishes." ”
"Brother Wang, don't be in a hurry to say such things first." The second uncle shook his head with a wry smile and continued: "From the moment you walked into the Ruffian Gou Tea House, I saw that you were different, I believe that my vision will not be wrong, and you will definitely be able to help me fulfill my wish." ”
Hearing these lines, which resembled those in the TV series, actually came out of the mouth of the second uncle, Wang Shao wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Seeing the second uncle's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking at all, Wang Shao had to believe that this sentence did come from the second uncle's mouth.
Wang Shao hesitated and asked, "Second uncle, what wish do you want me to help you fulfill?" ”
The second uncle let out a heavy sigh: "I want you to help me find my son and persuade him to come back for me, but it is also my greatest wish in life." I've been looking for a young man like you for a long time, and tonight I finally found you, and I shouldn't be left with regrets. ”
How do they sound a bit like last words?
Wang Shao was a little confused when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Second uncle, what do you want to tell me?" ”
"Speaking of which, it's also my family affair." The second uncle let out a second long sigh and told Wang Shao a heavy memory.
The second uncle's surname is Zhang, and he is not the native surname of Xiaojia Village, and he has a son who is the same age as Wang Shao.
In order for his son to have a future career, the second uncle sent his son to the provincial capital to study very early.
The second uncle's idea is very simple, he has been in the society for many years, except for getting to know a group of brothers, he feels that he has achieved nothing, and he doesn't want his son to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future, and hopes that his son can go on the right track and change his fate with knowledge.
Who knew that his son was not obedient, he secretly mixed with people in society, and made a girlfriend behind his second uncle's back, and spent all his tuition fees on eating, drinking, and having fun.
Three months ago, Second Uncle Zhang, who learned the truth, was furious and cut off his son's financial support, thinking that this would make his son change his ways, but his son became even worse and simply disappeared.
At first, the second uncle didn't care and didn't think about looking for it, but as time went by, the second uncle was a little uncomplacent.
You must know that the second uncle is such an only son, if he goes astray because of this, then the second uncle has no meaning in living.
At the beginning, the second uncle also sent people to look around, and he also went to investigate the situation in person, but in the end there was no result.
Seeing that he was old and his son had not been heard from from him, the second uncle became more and more anxious, so he thought about finding someone to help him find his son.
"When you get to the ruffian ditch tonight, I know that you will definitely help me find my son." The second uncle answered with a little excitement and ended the description.
After doing it for a long time, I was going to ask Wang Shao to help find my son.
This answer made Wang Shao cry and laugh: he is just an unemployed young man, what can he do to help find someone?
Wang Shao shook his head again like a drum: "Second uncle, I can't do this kind of thing, how can I have this ability." ”
Although Wang Shao is naturally chivalrous and likes to fight unevenly, he does not have the courage to find a needle in the vast sea of people.
At least not yet.
Even the second uncle can't help an old society like him who has been in the old society for many years, let alone a teenager who has not been deeply involved in the world.
Seeing Wang Shaoya's refusal, the second uncle's reaction was very strong, his hand holding the cigarette trembled a little, and he let out a third sigh: "If you are not willing to help, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a suitable person for a while, so I can only leave this shijie with regrets." ”
The second uncle's answer shocked Wang Shao, could it be that the boss of the ruffian ditch in front of him was already terminally ill and would die soon?
"If you don't want to help me, then I may never see my son again in my life." The second uncle choked up and continued: "I also want to wait a little longer to slowly dilute the misunderstanding with my son, but I don't have time to wait." ”
Speaking of this, the second uncle actually shed two old tears.
"Second uncle, what the hell is going on, you can make it clear." couldn't help the compassion surging in his heart, Wang Shao asked.
Wang Shao's reaction made the second uncle feel a little relieved, and then revealed the hidden secret.
It turned out that the second uncle was diagnosed with liver cancer and was on the verge of death, and he felt that the end was approaching, and he really wanted to see his son when he passed away, and heard his son call him dad.
For this reason, the second uncle tried every means to use the brothers in Ruffian Ditch to inquire about his son's whereabouts, and finally learned the news that he was in the provincial capital.
But the son who was in rebellion not only rejected the second uncle, but also had strong resistance to the brothers of the entire ruffian, and was unwilling to meet at all, let alone anything else.
In desperation, the second uncle recorded a passage he wanted to say to his son on tape, hoping that he could recall his son in this traditional way and realize a wish in his life.
It was necessary to find a reliable person who would hand over the tape to his son.
