Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Call for Help
"I still don't seem to understand what you're saying." I asked.
"The jar that Huang Lao dug up that day is a fake, there should be a real one in that place, right?" He asked me.
"Yes. And then what? I said.
"Really in my place, there should be a yellow skin essence in him, I found a yellow skin in it, but this yellow skin is no longer the yellow skin essence, that is to say, the one you let go is just a fake yellow skin essence, and the real yellow skin essence was let go in advance and hidden from all of us." Mr. Zhai said.
"And then?" I probably understood what he was saying, but I wondered, what could it have to do with me? To let go or not to let go of that yellow-skinned spirit. For me, it's nothing. The regiment is looking for Zhuang to carry it.
"I'd like to ask you a favor." Mr. Zhai said.
"I said you're not mistaken, can I, please? How can I help you? I asked.
"You can do it, the relationship between your family and Huang Pizi is unclear, and my current situation, no one can help me except you. I won't let you help me in vain, I know you need money, young people have their own ideas and need money to support them, and if you help me, you are my friend, Huang Lao is just my guest, between friends and guests, I know how to make a choice. Mr. Zhai said.
I lit a cigarette. The favor itself is not for nothing. He said he could give me money, but for money, I lack, and no one is not short of money, isn't it? But I categorically won't betray my principles because of money, mainly because of the sentence he said, if I help him, I will be his friend, and he is hinting to me that if I help him this time, he will help me in the future, that is, he will be an undercover agent I placed next to Huang Lao.
"Let's be honest. I'm really short of money, but I don't want to do everything I can, I know what I'm capable of, and at the very least, I want to know what you're asking me to do. I asked.
Mr. Zhai rolled up his sleeves, stretched out an arm and said to me, "That's it." ”
I saw a chill when I saw that Mr. Zhai's arms were full of rotten meat, piece after piece, as if he had been cut with a knife, looking very disgusting, and I said, "I really want money, but I really don't know what I can do." ”
"I killed that weasel, and this is the weasel spirit's revenge on me. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to take this job when Huang Lao was looking for me, but I owed him a favor before I couldn't help it, and if I caught the sealed weasel spirit at that time, I was sure to kill it, so I took over the job, at that time, that place was a Huangpizi tomb, and it was the three most prestigious people of the Huangpizi family who were buried, one of which is now in the hands of Huang Lao, and I cut off one, and the rest was let go, and there was no chance to catch it all. I'm no match for the Yellow Skin. Mr. Zhai said.
"And then?" I asked: "You want me to help you kill that old yellow skin, I'm sorry Mr. Zhai, I think you found the wrong person, you can't do anything, I can't help it, I can't make this money, you should find Huang Lao, he will definitely know more powerful people." ”
"No, the only one who can help me is you, Mr. Huang, I know him, at that time, he could cut off that little yellow skin essence, he could, but he let me do it, which itself pushed me out, I still don't know what he wants to do? The history of his fortune is a history of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. Mr. Zhai said.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked.
"There is only one person who can save me now, and that is He Anxia, Huang Lao's junior brother. You should know about the real person, right? Mr. Zhai looked at me and said.
I immediately stood up and said, "Don't talk nonsense, okay?" I admit that I know the real person, he is older than my grandfather, and there has been no news for more than 30 years, not to mention whether his old man has gone west, but he is still alive, can I find him? ? ”
He grabbed my arm, and then took the small leather bag beside him and said: "This is a meeting gift, I heard Huang Lao say that your father is He Zhenren's apprentice, and he may be able to contact that He Zhenren, He Zhenren will not die, because the supreme view has not fallen." I believe in him. ”
I glanced at the open fur, it is estimated that there are three or two hundred thousand in it, it is impossible not to be greedy, if it is not to go back to the village, I don't know how many years I have to struggle for this money, for the sake of the face of the money, I really can't refuse, but I still said: "Can I contact He Zhenren, that's my father's business, I can't contact him, or He Zhenren can't save you, that's none of my business." ”
Mr. Zhai hugged me and said, "That's all, I understand that no matter what, I accept the favor of the little brother." ”
After Mr. Zhai said goodbye, I accepted the money, last time one million was a check, but this time it was cash, looking at this more cash I couldn't calm down for a long time, how did I never find out that money can be earned so easily?
The next day, I returned to Suotou Village early in the morning, because this time it was my own private work, I didn't ask Chen Jiuliang to send me, I took a car back to the village by myself to find my father, and told him about Mr. Zhai asking me to do something.
"Now that the princess's grave is making a fuss like this, if He Zhenren is alive, he should come back, if you really can, contact him?" I said.
When I spoke to my father, he was tidying up his flowers and plants at home, and he didn't even look up and said to me, "How old was I when He Zhenren left?" How many years have passed, where can I contact him? ”
"Dad, I feel like you're hiding a lot from me." I said to him, this is what I have always wanted to say to him, Huang Lao's attention and Dad's performance during this time, I even feel that this person I have called Dad for more than 20 years seems to have re-acquainted him.
I couldn't have imagined before last night that he would be the one who could stab people with scissors, but he did.
He stopped what he was doing and said, "I have something to hide from you?" ”
"Yes, isn't it? I'm your own son, can't you even trust me? "I said aggrievedly.
"Didn't you provoke Lin Baqian and that fat man Liu into the village? And your second uncle gives you a store, and you really go to be your manager. Don't count what you think in your own heart? I won't say anything else, your second uncle's business, you'd better not get involved, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the same as Huang Lao, and he also does a business of inverted dou'er, don't you see his understanding of antiques? My dad asked me.
"In this society, as long as you can make money, do you care if he is upside down or what? What's wrong with the upside down? Those treasures are buried in the ground and rotten, so it is better to dig them up and see the light of day again, right? I said.
My dad glared at me.
I stood next to him for a long time, he didn't spit out again, after a while I felt bored, and I was quite aggrieved, I was also my own business, but he didn't help him with the matter of raising his hands.
Just as I was about to walk out of the yard, my father stopped me and said, "Tell that Mr. Zhai, see you in the lock village after the storm and the night." ”
I was overjoyed and said to my dad, "Thank you, dad!" ”
"Tell your second uncle, the princess's grave is still not time, don't force everything, it depends on fate." Again, my dad explained.
"But the second uncle is ready to set up a battlefield." I said.
"Why did Huang Lao leave? Do you think he's really afraid of the yellow-skinned spirit? You go and tell him that He Anxia is not dead! My dad glared at me.
--I was overjoyed to get this answer, I didn't really care about the matter of the princess's grave, because I always felt that I couldn't participate in the competition of that grade at all, I found my second uncle first, he was alone in the study in a daze, and when he saw me come in, he just nodded to me.
"Second uncle, my dad asked me to tell you that the princess's grave is not yet moving." I said.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "What." Did he say why? ”
"He said He Anxia is not dead yet." I said. --This question made me think all the way, He Anxia He Zhenren is dead or not, and whether he can move the princess's tomb has a ball of hair?
