Chapter 40: Let it go
The weeds on the road leading to the hut had withered and begun to fall, and the crisp autumn wind continued to break the broken branches.
Liu Keming and Xiaolong got out of the car and came to the door of the cabin, where the butcher was napping in the sun.
"Hey, wake up and do something." The little dragon gently kicked the chaise longue where the butcher was sitting with his foot.
The butcher opened his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Xiaolong and Liu Keming.
"You're alone?" Liu Keming asked.
"Well, the monkey has gone to the city, he can't stand it after staying here for a few days, he said that he was going to put out the fire, and it will be me to come back in the evening." The butcher squinted his eyes, for the afternoon sun was still a little dazzling.
"So you're so comfortable sleeping here? You're not afraid that the locked people will run away? Xiaolong asked.
"Hehe, the lock is tight, and it is difficult for him to fly with his wings. However, it's not a problem for us to keep doing this all the time, it should be solved, right? The butcher said with some grumbling.
"Solve it right away, I can't wait too long, go in and see this person." Xiaolong said.
The butcher drew the key and unlocked the iron lock on the old wooden door. The room was dark as usual, but the musty smell in the house was much lighter at this time, because it was cold.
Liu Keming went in and turned on the light, and he remembered the position of the light switch. The room was bright, and Liu Keming saw Zhuang Dahu, his face facing a thin mattress that was curled up on a wooden board in a corner of the room, wrapped in a torn military coat, and linked by an iron chain on his body. Liu Keming and the others came in and turned on the lights, but they didn't make Zhuang Dahu move, as if he was dead.
"It's much more honest," the butcher said, stepped forward to Zhuang Dahu's side and pushed Zhuang Dahu, "Get up, you are at ease, such days will not last long."
Liu Keming wanted to stop the butcher from waking up Zhuang Dahu, but it was too late to stretch out his hand.
Zhuang Dahu sat up slowly, pulling the iron chain and squirming as his body twisted.
Zhuang Dahu sat up straight and put his feet on the ground, rolled his dull and wooden eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Liu Keming?" Zhuang Dahu rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Is it really you?" ”
Liu Keming was expressionless and stood there very embarrassed.
"Is it really you?" Zhuang Dahu repeated the words: "How did you come here?" Are you also tied up by them? ”
"What is tied, he is our Brother Ming," the butcher yelled.
Zhuang Dahu couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened in surprise, how was this possible?
"I said what you did badly, you just stabbed Zhou Zhengguo to death, of course this Blue Ocean Group will not let you go, after tonight, your life will end." Liu Keming said coldly.
"How is this possible? How could it be you? Zhuang Dahu muttered to himself in despair.
"Why? Why you? Are you in a group? Liu Keming, we are classmates and good friends, you can't treat me like this. Zhuang Dahu pleaded, tears almost coming out.
"Can't you see that?" The butcher said impatiently.
"Good friends? Hehe? Liu Keming sneered: "When did I treat you as a good friend, isn't the green hat you gave me enough?" ”
"You still don't believe me, you don't believe Bai Xin'er. At dinner that day, I still believed you and told you everything, but I didn't expect you to become like this, and you actually wanted to kill me. Zhuang Dahu said sadly.
Liu Keming: "Frankly, it's not that I want to kill you, didn't I tell you very clearly just now?" It was the Blue Ocean Group that wanted your life, and of course, I also wanted you to die. ”
At this moment, Xiaolong's mobile phone text message rang, and Xiaolong read it and said to the butcher, "Brother Buddha called you over." ”
"What?" The butcher was a little surprised: "Brother Buddha actually called me?" ”
Xiaolong handed the text message to the butcher for the butcher to see.
The butcher naturally had a happy expression, showed a silly smile and said, "It's wonderful," and then said in an embarrassed tone: "But what about here?" The monkey hasn't come back yet. ”
Xiaolong: "It's nothing, you go with me to see Brother Fo, just trouble Brother Ming to do it here for a while." Xiaolong looked at Liu Keming and said.
Liu Keming happily accepted, "Of course there is no problem, just leave it to me here." ”
"Is that so? Why don't you wait for the monkeys to come and go? The monkey is already on its way back, and it will be there soon" The butcher was a little uneasy.
Xiaolong: "No problem, we are all working under Brother Ming, of course we have to trust Brother Ming." ”
The butcher still had an expression of disbelief, took out the key hanging on his waist, took one from the bunch of keys and handed it to Liu Keming and said, "This is the key to the door, if you go far, lock the door." ”
The butcher and Xiaolong walked out of the door, Liu Keming knew that the butcher didn't believe him at all, of course, this matter was promised by Brother Fo, even if something went wrong, it was not a problem.
About that, the butcher and they had already gone away, Liu Keming looked at Zhuang Dahu's resentful expression and walked to Zhuang Dahu and took out a key from his pocket.
Liu Keming grabbed Zhuang Dahu's wrist, but was thrown away by Zhuang Dahu. Zhuang Dahu said angrily: "You are really a hypocritical villain, I owe it to me to believe in you so much before." ”
Liu Keming grabbed Zhuang Dahu's wrist again, this time very hard, and said: "You believe me is right, it was before, and it is now" As he spoke, Liu Keming inserted the key into the iron lock on Zhuang Dahu's wrist, and the lock was unlocked.
"What are you doing here?"
"Save you, what else can I do."
"But, will they do anything to you then?" Zhuang Dahu was a little remorseful for what he had just insulted Liu Keming.
After the lock was opened, Liu Keming locked it again.
Zhuang Dahu was confused again.
Liu Keming stuffed the key into Zhuang Dahu's hand and said: "Of course I don't save you now, hide the key, and wait until midnight, you open that window and escape" Liu Keming said, got up and walked to the window and pulled out the nails on the window with the Swiss Army knife he carried with him.
"How did you end up with these people? Could it be that you joined them too? They're not good people," Zhuang said.
"There are some things you don't have to know right now."
"What about Bai Xin'er? If he knew you were like this, she would go crazy. ”
Liu Keming paused and said, "Things are not as bad as you think. Ay! It's okay, she'll find out later, maybe he'll accept me now. ”
Liu Keming quickly removed the nails from the window, but did not take the window down.
"In short, you can't tell anyone about today's events after you go out. Also, don't go to the public security bureau to denounce these people, or you will fall for them. Don't tell Bai Xin'er either. Don't stay in the city anymore after you get out, take the money your father left you and the money for the demolition and go somewhere else, and come back in a few years. ”
Zhuang Dahu listened to Liu Keming's mysterious words, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Don't ask why, because I can't answer the question in your mind right now, there are so many things you don't know right now."
"How many years will I have to wait before I come back?"
"It may not be a few years before there is a storm in our city. After this storm, if I was alive then, I would have contacted you. Okay, the other of their guards is coming back soon, I'll go out first, remember what I said. ”
Zhuang Dahu still didn't understand, of course, not because of his comprehension ability, he thought that there might be some mysterious power or species in the city, whether it was invaded by aliens or something like that, or something like war.
Liu Keming walked out of the room, and even he himself was moved and inspired by what he had just said. He is a person who does great things, Liu Keming thought.
"Brother Ming? Why are you here? The monkey came back and saw Liu Keming standing in front of the wooden house and said.
"Ao, I'll look at this person for you for the time being, the butcher was called away by Brother Fo, and he just left for a while, you should have met them on the way back" Liu Keming knew that the monkey was knowingly asked.
"Of course, I saw their car passing by me," the monkey said, glancing into the house.
"Then," Liu Keming threw the key to the wooden door to the monkey and said, "Okay, you're here, I'll go." ”
