Chapter 332: A Different Way
Sandwiched between two mountains, there is a gap in the middle, which is the only way in and out of the village. Now that the road into the village is blocked, Lin Dong and they can only find another way.
Although the two mountains next to the village are not high, they are full of grass and trees, and thorns are everywhere, so if you want to walk through them, it is really difficult.
Lao Ma flashlighted, took Lin Dong and Ji Jianming to the mountain, and when he arrived at the mountain, he stopped, panting and said: "There are a lot of broken branches on this mountain, so hurry up and choose a suitable wooden stick to defend yourself." ”
Ji Jianming flashed the flashlight and said, "Lin Dong, you pick first." ”
Lin Dong nodded, found a branch in the surrounding mountains and forests, the thickness was appropriate, but the branch was too long, folded it into two sections, and handed it to Ji Jianming, "Old Ji, can you still do it if you try?" ”
Ji Jianming held it in his hand a few times and said with a smile: "Well, it's good, that's it." ”
The old horse also picked his eyes and said, "Then let's continue on our way." ”
The three of them walked silently through the mountains and forests, walking and stopping, and the speed was very slow.
"Take a break."
The old horse stopped in front and said, "There are a lot of prey on this mountain, and there are many good hunters in Guanjiagou Village, so there may be traps and traps on this mountain, so we must be careful with our feet when we walk, and it is best to walk on my footprints." ”
Lin Dong asked with interest: "Brother Ma, you are not from this village, how do you know that there are no traps?" ”
The old horse grinned and said: "I naturally have my own method, have you found it, the place where I take you is relatively small." ”
Lin Dong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I understand, the reason why there is little grass and trees is because people often walk on it, it must be a safe route." ”
Lao Ma smiled: "Well, you are right. Okay, let's move on and remember what I just said. ”
Although the moonlight is good tonight, the dense forest is overgrown. It is difficult for the moonlight to shine in. If it weren't for the flashlight in their hands, they would almost not be able to move an inch. When Gao Qian put the emergency spare box into Lin Dong's car, he still thought it was a superfluous move, but he didn't expect that there would really be a time when it would be useful. Be prepared, it seems that the old saying is true.
The two of them followed behind the old horse, silent, and did not know how long they had walked. Finally out of the mountains and forests.
The old horse paused and breathed a sigh of relief. smiled: "Thank God, we walked out of the mountains and forests safely, and the road below is easy to walk." ”
Lin Dong asked, "Brother Ma, how far is the road?" ”
The old horse pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "Look, the housekeeper ditch is already in sight." ”
Under the moonlight, the housekeeper ditch was quiet. There was no sound at all, except for the constant barking of dogs throughout the village.
Lao Ma said: "It's strange, since this group of people has already rushed ahead of you, why haven't they entered the village yet?" ”
Lin Dong looked towards the entrance of the village, and sure enough, all the cars were parked outside the village, and none of them dared to drive into the village.
Ji Jianming said: "Guan Cangsheng's temper is notoriously weird, and the people who came to him this time know something about him, so they don't dare to bother rashly late at night." ”
Lin Dong said: "Hehe, I want to be ahead of them." ”
The old horse said, "Then let's go." ”
The two of them followed the old horse towards the bottom of the mountain, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. They have entered the village.
Ji Jianming said: "It's so late, everyone in the village is sleeping, and we don't know where Guan Cangsheng lives, what can we do now?" ”
Ji Jianming suddenly found that entering the village was actually like that, and they still couldn't see Guan Cangsheng.
Lin Dong pondered for a moment, and suddenly set his eyes on Lao Ma.
The old horse was heartbroken by him, and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you looking at me?" I don't know where you say Guan Cangsheng lives. ”
Lin Dong asked, "Brother Ma." Are you familiar with this village? ”
Lao Ma nodded, "When I was a merchant, I often came here, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Dong said: "Then you exclude all the families that you know are definitely not Guan Cangsheng." We'll look into the rest. ”
…,
When Lao Ma heard Lin Dong say this, he smiled and said, "This is a good idea. There are about 50 families in this village, I think about it. ”
"By the way, I remember that the easternmost part of the village lives in a lonely old lady, I haven't seen anyone else in his family, and I basically know the situation of other households, and I don't call Guan Cangsheng."
Ji Jianming said: "The information I collected said that Guan Cangsheng had an old mother. ”
"That's it, Brother Ma, take us over quickly." Lin Dong said excitedly.
The old horse smiled: "Okay, you follow me, by the way, don't throw away the stick in your hand, there are many earth dogs in the village, they will bite, if you pounce on it, you will smash the stick." ”
After Lao Ma finished speaking, he walked in front, and Lin Dong and Ji Jianming still followed him. The housekeeper's village was not large, and they soon walked to the east end of the village, and came to the door of the lonely old lady that Lao Ma had said. The room was pitch black, Lin Dong looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock in the morning at the moment.
"Lin Dong, shall we just stand here and wait?" Ji Jianming asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do? Do you want to go and slam the door now? Lin Dong said.
"Alas, I knew I wouldn't be able to see him if I came, so we might as well rest in the hotel." Ji Jianming sighed.
Lin Dong shook his head, "There is an early benefit, let's stand here, wait until tomorrow Guan Cangsheng opens the door, the first thing he sees is us, and he knows our sincerity." ”
Ji Jianming said: "Guan Cangsheng is notoriously weird tempered, I'm afraid that when he sees us standing at the door of his house, he will show us his face." When the time comes, it will be really thankless. ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of temper he is, we took so much effort to get here, can we just go back?" Lin Dongdao.
Ji Jianming sighed: "Okay, as long as you say wait, I will stand here and wait with you." ”
The old horse smiled, pulled a handful of straw from the straw pile in front of the old lady's house, put it on the ground, sat on it, lit a cigarette, and smoked it leisurely. Lin Dong and Ji Jianming were like two Buddha statues, standing there motionless.
At five o'clock in the morning, there was a touch of fish belly white in the east, and after a while, a dawn light emerged from under the horizon, and soon turned into thousands of rays of light and sprinkled onto the earth.
The quiet village began to bustle, and the dogs, who had barked all night, seemed to be tired, and could only occasionally hear their sporadic crows, and the big roosters began to join in the excitement, crowing one after another.
At dawn, the old horse stood up from the ground, stretched his waist, and saw Lin Dong and Ji Jianming still standing there stupidly, looking towards the door of the old lady's house, thinking that there was a powerful big man in this family? Otherwise, how could so many people come to him?
Lao Ma said: "Two, I said that you have also been standing for a few hours, and according to me, you are sincere enough. Why don't you let me knock on your door right away? ”
Lin Dong opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ma, thank you very much, we can wait, no need." ”
Lao Ma said: "Then you stand here, hungry, I'll go to the house of a villager I know well in the village to get something." With that, he slipped away.
Lin Dong and Ji Jianming stood for a while, and the two wooden doors in front of them finally opened.
A thin hunchbacked little old man walked out with a night pot, glanced at the two people standing outside the door, lowered his eyelids, walked past them with a night pot, and poured the stinky water from the pot into his own plot in front of the door.
At this time, a lot of people poured in from outside the village, and these people didn't know where they got the news, knowing that Guan Cangsheng's family lived in the east of the village, and they were all rushing towards the east of the village at this moment.
Lin Dong walked behind the little old man and asked respectfully, "Are you Mr. Guan?" ”
The man nodded.
Lin Dong was shocked, the high-spirited Guan Cangsheng he had seen in the photo had turned into the appearance in front of him, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still very surprised.
…,
"Hello Mr. Guan, we are Jinding Investment Company, and we sincerely invite you to join our company." Ji Jianming said.
"You're looking for the wrong person." Guan Cangsheng said this coldly, and walked towards home with the night pot.
"Boss!"
At this time, I suddenly heard a thunderous sound, and a man around fifty years old ran over with big strides and stepped forward to hold Guan Cangsheng's hand. Behind this big man, followed by Qiu Qi's group who stopped Lin Dong and the others last night. Qiu Qi saw Lin Dong here, a look of surprise flashed on his face, and he said in his heart that this kid was really not simple, but he didn't know how he came over.
Guan Cangsheng looked up and looked at the big man in front of him with slightly pale sideburns. Lin Dong found that Guan Cangsheng clenched his fists at that moment.
"You're here too." Guan Cangsheng still said a word silently.
This big man is Qin Jiansheng, the big boss of Jinpeng Private Equity, the world's first private equity after Land Rover, and Guan Cangsheng was a very good brother back then.
Qin Jiansheng burst into tears, "Brother, you have suffered inside, and seeing you become like this, my brother hurts in my heart." ”
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about it. Let's go. "Guan Cangsheng said.
Qin Jiansheng still held Guan Cangsheng's hand, Guan Cangsheng tried his best to break away, but he held it tighter and tighter.
"Lao Guan, it's good for you to come out, in the future, our brothers will work together, and their strength will be broken, what Land Rover is successful, it's all bullshit, and it's not worth mentioning in front of you." Qin Jiansheng laughed.
Guan Cangsheng said: "Please let go of my hand, besides, I am no longer your brother, and the friendship between you and me ended on the day you betrayed me thirteen years ago." ”
The smile on Qin Jiansheng's face froze, "Old man, are you still worried about this matter?" At that time, I was also forced to do that. ”
Guan Cangsheng suddenly glared, and his cloudy eyes suddenly burst into a sharp light, "I don't want to mention the things of the past, it's just that you and I are kind and righteous, please don't bother me again, Qin, Lao, Ban!" ”
Qin Jiansheng said: "Old man, I can go, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
Guan Cangsheng said: "You want me to promise you that you will never touch the stock from now on, right?" ”
