I squinted my eyes and looked in the direction pointed by the villagers, there was indeed a man in a black down jacket, maybe in fact he was not very old, but he had gray sideburns, so he looked like an old man, and this person called an old man by the villagers was not the Li Kang I was looking for... So the flame of hope that had just been ignited in my heart was once again extinguished by the cold ice water......

But soon, I found a detail, although this white-haired old man is not the Lao Li I was looking for, but when I looked closely, they looked very similar, which may indicate that there should be some kind of blood relationship between them.

With such a doubt, I quickly came to this "Lao Li" and stopped him, and he also looked at me very sensitively, and asked in Henan dialect: "Who are you?" ”

I looked at him happily because he spoke with the same accent as Lao Li, which further proved that my suspicions were correct...... After taking a long breath, he smiled politely and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a relative named Li Kang?" ”

"Who are you?" He asked me with a frown.

I swallowed hard, but I already knew in my heart that the "Lao Li" in front of me should be the relative that Li Kang was referring to, I subconsciously took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it, and then handed him one, and said: "My name is Wang Ye, and I met Lao Li in Beijing, and I need to ask him about some things in person...... If you know where he is, please let me know..."

"So you're the king?" There was a sudden look of surprise on his face, and then he sighed heavily, and said with a smile: "I'm still worried about how to contact you, and now that you're here, you can settle the account by the way for a while..."

My heart sank: "What account?" ”

"Hehe, don't be nervous...... The Li Kang you're looking for is my younger brother... Originally, these goods were intended to be sent to Beijing for sale, but the Zhengzhou market suddenly burned the goods that night, and the goods in the market were stored and rotten, and the prices of the new goods had risen to twice that of the Beijing market...... So that night, he directly changed the route and pulled the goods to Zhengzhou... Originally, I was going to call you to say something, but the useless mobile phone accidentally got into the water and couldn't be turned on, so he was afraid that you would be worried, so he temporarily called me on the landline and asked me to contact you, but I was so busy that I couldn't go to Beijing to find you... Now that you've come by yourself, you save me from worrying about these things..."

Lao Li's brother passed me a lot of information in one breath, so that my mind couldn't react for a while, and I thought about it for a long time before I roughly understood what was going on, but I still couldn't believe it......

At this time, Li Kang's brother patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Let's go, go back and wait first, Li Kang estimates that he will come back with the car in about two hours, and let him explain to you by himself when the time comes, and everything will be understood..."

……

In a bungalow in the village, Lao Li's brother made me a cup of strong tea, and then put some melon seeds and sweets on the table on a plate, and then said that I would wait at home first, and he would go to the fields to supervise the villagers' work.

Sitting in this bungalow of about 20 square meters, almost all of the storage are some farm tools, looking at the fire in front of me, I can't help but take the kettle on it, and then put my hand on it to keep warm, although this person who calls himself Brother Li told me the ins and outs of the matter, but I didn't see Lao Li with my own eyes, my heart is still very unsteady, but at the moment I am just anxious and helpless, so I took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and lit the cigarette with the green fire in the coal stove.

I just took a puff of cigarette, and the mobile phone rang inadvertently, I connected the phone, and Ah Huo's voice soon came, saying: "Dude, the money has arrived, and I have called you five thousand more..."

"Why did you fight five thousand more?" I pouted, "I have some change on me..."

Ah Huo hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything, and finally coughed a few times and asked, "That'...... How are you doing in Changzhou, have you found that Lao Li? ”

"I should almost find it......" I wasn't sure if I would see Lao Li for a while, so I gave him an ambiguous answer.

"How so?"

I took a puff of my cigarette and said, "I've found a man who calls himself his brother, and he said that there was a reason for what happened two days ago, and that's why it happened, anyway, it's too messy, and I can't figure it out for a while...... I'll have to wait for Lao Li to come back later..."

"Hehe, the world is impermanent and constant, it's really hard for people to understand..."

I laughed and said, "Who's to say it isn't...... Everything is changing and it seems that nothing has changed, and the most tormenting thing is our restless heart..."

"Hmm......" Ah Huo also sighed, and said, "When will you return to Shanghai?" ”

"I'm not sure yet, but it should be soon...... At least after finding Lao Li..."

"Okay, when you come back to Shanghai, I'll pick you up and wash the dust..."

"Hehe, Brother Xie..."

……

After the conversation with Ah Huo ended, I soon heard a noise outside the door, and the familiar voice of the song made me excited, because I heard Lao Li reprimanding others outside the door...

Soon, Lao Li beat the dust on his body and let the house in, and after seeing me, he smiled apologetically, then opened a pack of cigarettes and handed me one, motioning for me to sit down.

The two sat down around the coal stove, Lao Li lit a cigarette for himself with the help of the fire of the coal stove in the same way, and then exhaled heavily, saying: "I know what you want to say, this time the matter is really sorry..."

I flicked the cigarette ash with my fingertips, but finally didn't say anything about the money first, so I nodded......

In the home-cooked restaurant in the town, Lao Li poured me a glass of liquor, and then raised a glass and took a big sip, and I also took a sip lightly, then Lao Li handed me a cigarette, when the smell of alcohol and cigarettes mixed and diffused in my body, the emotions that had been stored in my heart for a long time began to explode, I picked up the wine glass and drank all the remaining liquor in one sip, glared at Lao Li, and said coldly: "Do you know that you almost forced me to death?" ”

Lao Li faintly burst into tears, choked up and said, "I'm sorry to you for my selfishness...... That...... In fact, I was really desperate in those days, and all the people around me didn't believe me, even my eldest brother, when I asked him to borrow 10,000 yuan, he refused without hesitation...... At that time, our family was relatively poor, and we basically ate the last meal without the next meal, but every time my parents secretly stuffed me with the dried buns left over from the thrift, I would give him half of it, because I felt that we were brothers, so as long as I had a bite to eat, he would not be hungry...... But actually, my brother doesn't have a outsider..."

I closed my eyes, but I didn't want to say anything more, no matter what he said to me now was still a lie or not, but it didn't matter anymore, the purpose of my trip was just to find Lao Li and get back my own money, and the rest of the things were not worth thinking about anymore, and I didn't have the energy to think about it, otherwise it would only make me more entangled.

Lao Li took a deep breath, then took out a bank card from his body and handed it to me, saying, "Wang Ye, no matter what you think of me Li Kang, and no matter how much age is between us... I swear I'll treat you as my own brother...... This trip is indeed a relatively large market demand in Zhengzhou, in fact, I am also afraid that after going to Beijing, those creditors will make trouble, so I made this decision......"

After a pause, he swallowed his saliva again and continued: "I'm really, really sorry for you, brother...... However, this trip to Zhengzhou is not without harvest, just a car of goods, sold at twice the usual price, we sold three trucks of goods there, a total of 160,000, the 60,000 I have taken yesterday to pay off my own account, and the remaining 100,000 yuan in this bank card, you take it to pay off the account first, we still have 200 acres of goods in the field, according to the market price to sell, the minimum can be sold about 300,000, and the 300,000 yuan, in the end, our brothers divided it equally...... Without your trust at the time, I would not have turned over this day, although I like to gamble, but I will never pit my brother's money, this is my principle of life... Please believe all my words at this time..."

……

After eating this absurd lunch with Lao Li, I quickly drove back to the hotel in the county seat, and when the money that almost forced me to die was back in my hands, I had no reason not to believe Lao Li's words.

The night gradually enveloped this city that made me feel very unfamiliar, but I was relieved, Lao Li's incident made me seem to understand something, and I seemed to be confused... No matter how close the brother is, sometimes he is not as good as an outsider, and some things are by no means on the surface, and there are all the secrets in the world that we can't see with the naked eye......

Sitting under a dead tree on the road, I looked at the flickering cigarette on my fingertips, and wondered if there was a secret similar to Lao Li behind Mi Qi's breakup with me, but even if there were, why couldn't you discuss it with me in advance? Or maybe not at all, because we have different pursuits......

When I was still anxious about these trivialities in life, a pair of scented palms covered my eyes from behind my back, deliberately pretending to be a man's tone, and said, "Beauty, guess who I am?" ”
