Volume 2: Dragon Teng Xijing Chapter 289: The One Who Collects Protection Money
The relationship between Han Dong and Lan Feiyan has been recognized by the family, the two of them rented an apartment outside the school, and lived a two-person world, when Lu Yao came to the apartment, he found that Han Dong was alone at home, it turned out that Lan Feiyan was selected by the school to participate in the cheerleading team selection competition of the National Universiade every four years.
Han Dong took the medicine left by Lu Yao, and the injuries on his body were already healed, and even the few bruises on his face seemed to be there, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look carefully.
Han Dong felt the need to tell Lu Yao what happened a few days ago, after all, Fang Jinghua's help with Han's jewelry was still on Lu Yao's face, and Lu Yao didn't show surprise when he heard Han Dong's story.
"Dongzi, how are you preparing for the exam?" Lu Yao and Han Dong also had time to separate, and they were a little speechless when they were alone with each other, but in the end, it was Lu Yao who broke the embarrassment and took the lead in asking.
"It's a bit of a struggle, but I shouldn't have a big problem coping with the exam!" Han Dong said.
This is the first time that the two have studied and lived together for so long, and it is the first time that Han Dong has said such unconfident words, which makes Lu Yao a little surprised, although Han Dong's learning is not as good as his own, but it is also the level of a top student, how can he barely cope with it? Han Dong is never humble in front of himself, what's going on, is it still happening that he doesn't know if it's okay?
Lu Yao looked at Han Dong with a strange inquiring look, and Han Dong explained: "You know, when I entered the university, I applied for the Faculty of Arts, but some time ago, I saw that my parents were heartbroken for the family business, so I wanted to share a little more for my parents, but my literature and business basically did not go along, so I found the academic affairs office of the college and the school, and begged the teacher to change my major. ”
"It's really hard for you, I know you've always had a dream of being a writer, but now you choose to give up writing and start a business for the sake of reality and family, do you regret it?" Lu Yao listened to Han Dong's words, and suddenly felt that his image was much taller all of a sudden, and suddenly, he felt that Han Dong in front of him had changed, becoming a little unreal, and it seemed to have become more real.
"The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, he falls in love with the floor, he falls in love with the floor, and he is worried about the new words. Now I know all the sorrows, I want to say that I will rest, I want to say that I will rest, but I will say that the weather is cool and autumn. People always have to grow up slowly, and when they grow up, they will understand the difficulties of their parents, and they will be more comfortable in their hearts when they can share some of the burden for their parents. Han Dong said with emotion.
Lu Yao listened to Han Dong's words and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and the two chatted for a while before going out.
In order to be able to help his parents more, Han Dong said many times in front of Han Tianju and Tian Yuhua that he wanted to learn some knowledge about jewelry and antiques, and today Han Tianju made an appointment for Han Dong to give a lecture to Han Dong by the most respected old gentleman on the antique street. Lu Yao didn't have anything important, so he went with him.
Half an hour later, when Lu Yao saw that Han Dong's destination turned out to be the small shop called Wuhuhui that he used to come to buy things before, he felt a little surprised, in his memory, there was only that big brother Gu Fugu in this store, not much older than himself, could it be that Han Dong was just passing by here to buy something for that respected old gentleman?
"Hurry up, Lu Yao, we're almost late." Han Dong watched Lu Yao stop and urged.
"Hmm!" Lu Yao responded and hurriedly followed.
Lu Yao followed Han Dong into Wuhuhui one after the other, Han Dong was also here for the first time, he had never met the old gentleman, and at this time he saw a young man in a Chinese suit standing in front of the counter, and asked very politely: "Hello, is Mr. Gu here?" ”
"You are?" The young man in the tunic was busy placing all kinds of antique objects, and without looking back, he asked directly: "What are you looking for him?" ”
"I made an appointment with Mr. Gu, my name is Han Dong, and I will study with Mr. Gu today." Han Dong was not angry because the other party ignored his love, and said more politely.
When the young man in the tunic heard Han Dong's words, he put down the things in his hand, turned around, and said in surprise when he saw Lu Yao: "Lu Yao? ”
"Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!" As soon as Lu Yao entered the door, he saw Gu Fu, a young man in a tunic suit, but today he came with Han Dong, and it was important to do his business first, so Lu Yao didn't speak, at this time Gu Fu turned around, saw him, and called out his name, so he greeted the other party very warmly.
"Yes, it's been a few months since I said goodbye last time, why haven't I seen you come to the antique street to buy anything recently?" Gu Fu asked politely.
"Something is out of the way, just a few days after I came back." Lu Yao replied politely.
Gu Fu glanced at Han Dong, who entered the door with Lu Yao, and felt that the two should be walking together, so he asked casually: "This is your friend?" ”
"Well, my best friend." Lu Yao glanced at Han Dong and said.
"Lu Yao's friend is my friend, I was rude just now, and I hope Haihan." Gu Fu smiled and said to Han Dong: "My father went out and will be back in a while, you sit down first, I'll pour a cup of tea." ”
Han Dong and Lu Yao bowed slightly, watched Gu Fu go to pour tea, and then turned around and sat on the two bamboo chairs that entered the door. Lu Yao knew that Han Dong was curious about why he knew Gu Fu, so he simply told Han Dong about the matter between the two.
The three of them were not much different in age, and they quickly became acquainted. Gu Fu followed his father to walk the streets and alleys of Taobao on weekdays, except for his father who taught him some knowledge about the antique world, there was no one to talk to, Lu Yao was the only one who could talk to him, and they could be regarded as late to see each other, Han Dong was also more righteous, and the three of them quickly became one.
When the three of them were chatting happily, an old man walked in from the door in a panic, with burlap clothes, white temples, and glasses that were some years old.
When Gu Fu saw the old man, he immediately stood up and asked, "Dad, what's the matter, why are you flustered?" ”
"Hurry up and pack up your things and go home, Wei Wenqiang is here to collect protection money again." The old man hurriedly entered the house, panting, and without even having time to glance at Lu Yao and Han Dong who were sitting on the bamboo chairs, he walked quickly towards the back hall.
Gu Fu obviously knew who Wei Wuguang was, his face was also more solemn, and he said to the two of them in an anxious tone: "I'm really sorry, there is an urgent matter in the store, you should leave quickly, we will have a chance to talk about it another day." ”
After Gu Fu finished speaking, he also got up and was about to walk towards the back hall, Lu Yao quickly grabbed Gu Fu's hand, and asked with concern: "Brother Gu, what happened, who is this Wei Wenqiang, you seem to be very scared with this expression." ”
"Wei Wenqiang is a notorious gangster leader in this area, specializing in collecting protection money and acting as a guarantor for petty thieves. My father and I are not afraid of him, but we just don't want to quarrel with him. Gu Fu's arm was grabbed by Lu Yao, and he couldn't break free for a while, so he had to say concisely: "You guys leave quickly, I'll tell you slowly about some things later, we're going to close the door." ”
While speaking, the old man who had just entered the room had already returned to the counter again, this time he saw Lu Yao and Han Dong, and asked suspiciously: "Fu'er, didn't I tell you that the door is closed today, you quickly let these two guests leave!" ”
"Daddy......"
"Hello uncle, my name is Lu Yao, I am a friend of Brother Gu, this one is my friend Han Dong, his father made an appointment with you today, and Han Dong made a special trip to learn from you." Lu Yao said with a smile.
The old man glanced at Lu Yao, then at Han Dong, and when he took a closer look at Han Dong, he actually said in unison with Han Dong: "Why are you." ”
"How are you?"
"You know?" Seeing Han Dong's expression like this, Lu Yao knew that it was obvious that the two knew each other, so he asked suspiciously.
"He's the old gentleman I told you about who wanted to buy my rough at a high price, and that was the first person I suspected." Han Dong whispered next to Lu Yao's ear.
"Young man, no wonder you bought that rough stone, it turns out that you are also a peer!" The old man sighed with emotion, but immediately his face changed and said: "There is indeed something today, you go back first, and when the matter is dealt with on my side, I will contact your father, but we will talk later." ”
"Fu'er, send off!" The old man urged Gu Fu Dao.
"Dad, it's too late!" Gu Fu said helplessly.
Everyone looked in Gu Fu's direction, and saw two middle-aged men striding towards Wuhuhui.
"Fu'er, take them through the back door, and go home directly after you go out, don't come back." The old man thought for a moment and urged.
"Uncle, there's no need, I want to see who dares to be so arrogant and unreasonable in broad daylight." Lu Yao's momentum changed, and he said very firmly.
Lu Yao's performance made the old man and Gu Fu stunned, they would never have thought that a student would be so bold, but the old man was just stunned, he walked out from behind the counter, pushed Gu Fu, and said: "Hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze, we will handle our own affairs by ourselves, don't bother others." ”
Gu Fu was just about to go over and force Lu Yao and Han Dong to leave, but the two middle-aged men had already stepped into the threshold of the Five Lakes Convergence, and one of them was chewing gum in his mouth, and the middle-aged man who was smiling like a tiger looked at the old man and Gu Fu and said, "Yo, there are really customers in your sesame-sized store!" ”
"Brother Qiang, they are just passers-by who came in to inquire about things, where are the customers from our small shop." Gu Fu said with a smile on his face towards the middle-aged man who spoke.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" That strong brother ignored Gu Fu and asked directly towards Lu Yao and Han Dong.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yao asked Brother Qiang without being humble or arrogant.
"Good question, good question!" Brother Qiang slammed the chewing gum in his mouth into Lu Yao's face, and said with a strange smile: "Lao Tzu is here to collect protection money!" ”
