Xiao Qi rushed all the way, stepped on the accelerator to the end, usually it takes more than an hour to take a bus from Hongxing Town to the county seat, and Xiao Qi drove an off-road vehicle today to save half of the time. He parked the car directly at the main entrance of the Beishan Hotel, and then took Jiulai straight to Chutian's office. Chu Tian's office is in the five rooms of the Beishan Hotel, facing the double-door room at the end of the corridor. Most of the work matters are now handled by Bingyi and Xiao Qi, so Chu Tian rarely uses this office in normal times. From the beginning of walking into the lobby on the first floor of the Beishan Hotel, Jiulai's heart has been hanging, one is because he was shocked by the luxury decoration of the hotel, where has he seen this kind of battle, and the other is that he is nervous, and he is about to see the legendary character, he has a preconceived idea of portraying the image of this character in his heart, organizing language in his heart, how to greet people after meeting for a while? How do you answer people's questions? After Xiao Qi knocked on the door and got permission, he took Jiulai into Chu Tian's office. There are two people in the office, a young man and a big brother next door. The big brother next door sat in the middle of the sofa, with a kind face, a lovely smile, and a casual suit. The young man was dark-skinned and angular, and wore a plaid shirt with a white gold necklace around his neck, the sleeves of which were rolled up to reveal his strong forearms.

The middle-aged man who looked like the big brother next door saw them walk in, hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea in front of each of them and let them taste it, saying that this was this year's new tea, a spring tea that had just been picked from Tianzhu Mountain. Xiao Qi introduced Jiulai and said that this was Brother Tian, and then pointed to the young man and said that this was Bingyi.

Seeing the two legendary characters at once, Jiulai was a little confused, the key is that he had been making up for it in his brain before he entered the house just now, he was mentally prepared in advance, even if Brother Tian was not good-looking, at least there should be a kind of evil spirit on his body, not angry and arrogant. But he didn't expect Brother Tian to be this kind of image anyway, isn't this the old man from the countryside who is often bullied by himself in the town and comes down to catch the market? They wore big straw hats, wore red washed white vests, held a fan in their hands, raised a whip, and drove the ox cart, which was loaded with kohlrabi in bags, and when the farm was busy in summer, the peasants had to buy a lot of vegetables when they went to the street to catch a fair, and the kohlrabi could be put away, and it was cheap, so it was the first choice.

Jiulai called Brother twice, and then sat on the sofa, he sat there straight, his back didn't dare to lean on the back of the sofa, Xiao Qi scolded him, and said to him with a smile: Look at your little bit of talent, don't do this in front of Brother Tian, Brother Tian doesn't like these vain things. How did you get this thing? The details of the matter will be carefully explained. While Xiao Qi said these words, he also handed the red Go in his jacket pocket to Brother Tian.

Brother Tian took the red Go and watched it repeatedly in his hand, and Bingyi also leaned his head over to watch it together.

Jiulai sat on the side, and according to Xiao Qi's statement, he recounted the original circumstances of the matter. After Jiu said that, Brother Tian added him a cup of tea and asked: You said that you got this thing from a kid in Group 8, do you know who this kid is? What is your name? Jiulai hurriedly said: If you go back to Brother Tian, I don't know what that kid's full name is, but I know that the kid's surname is Bi. Brother Tian frowned when he heard him say that kid's surname Bi, and asked again? Can you be sure that his last name is Bi? Jiulai scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly: I can be sure that his surname is Bi, I knew him when he was in middle school in our town before. At that time, I was ignorant, and I robbed him of money. Brother Tian asked a few more questions, for example, there were a few families with the surname Bi in the eight groups, and Jiulai replied that he didn't know, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Chu Tian. Brother Tian got up from the sofa, bypassed the desk, picked up the telephone on the table and dialed a number, and after the phone was connected, he heard Brother Tian say to the other end of the phone: Taozi, are you still in the hotel? Didn't you leave? There is an urgent matter to come to my office.

After a while, Li Tao stepped on the disposable slippers of the hotel, and came to Brother Tian's office in the disposable pajamas of the hotel, feeling that he lived in the hotel, he called Brother Tian after entering the house, and said hello to Xiao Qier and Bingyi, and saw that there were outsiders present, he nodded politely at Jiulai. Then he found an open space on the sofa, snorted, and sat down. He pulled a cigar from the solid wood humidor on the coffee table, lit it with a lighter in his mouth, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Brother Tian? What's the hurry? Go ahead.

Brother Tian didn't speak, just pressed the red Go on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Li Tao. As soon as Li Tao saw this Go, he immediately put away the appearance of a swinger brother. He twisted his eyebrows together, picked up the Go, he turned the Go over and looked at it for a while, and then said: This is the token that the spotted leopard carried with him, and the spotted leopard has been here? Brother Tian, give the order, count me in. I'll hit wherever you point.

Brother Tian raised his hand and made a downward gesture before saying: The key to the problem is not here, let me ask you first, have you been to the eighth group of Red Star Town? After getting Li Tao's nod to confirm, Brother Tian continued, Let me ask you again, is there a family surnamed Bi in the eight groups? Li Tao felt that Brother Tian was a little strange, but he still nodded. This thing was obtained by him from a young man surnamed Bi in the eighth group, and when Brother Tian talked about him, he pointed to Jiulai, who was sitting on the side.

How is this possible? Li Tao said as he snuffed out the cigar in the ashtray on the coffee table, and Jiulai said what he had just said to Li Tao again. After listening to Jiu's words, Li Tao grabbed the car key in front of Xiao Qi. While running out of the house, he said to Xiao Qi, borrow me the car.

The nine people in the house hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say. Brother Tian, I want to follow you to do things, I hope Brother Tian can reward me for eating. Chu Tian looked at Jiu with a smile and said: It is rumored outside that I am a hooligan leader, I am an underworld, you want to follow me to eat, aren't you afraid that I will let you do things that hurt heaven and reason? Jiulai quickly became serious and swore and said: Impossible, when I haven't walked into this room, I also thought that those rumors in the society were true, and I didn't want to follow Brother Tian to do things, but everything that just happened is in front of my eyes, Brother Tian, you are a big brother next door, Brother Tian, you will accept me, I promise not to cause trouble for you, I will work hard. Chu Tian said: Okay, since you want to do things with me, I will accept you for the time being, and you will follow Xiao Qi in the future. But let's talk about it first, follow me to do things, there are too many rules, if you break the rules one day, I won't show mercy at that time. Jiulai hurriedly made another gesture and made a statement.

Chu Tian put away the red Go, he asked everyone to leave first, saying that he would call everyone to inform everyone if there was any arrangement. Before leaving Chu Tian's office, Chu Tian suggested that Xiao Qi should arrange for Jiu Lai to return to Red Star Town first. It should be certain that one of the eight groups has a family with the surname Bi. Let Jiu go back and forth, mainly considering that there are always people firing cannons on the stone stone next to Xiao Bi's house. Let Nine go back and forth as a deterrent. Brother Tian also instructed that if someone really wants to fire a cannon, he can't use it unless he has to. After everyone left, Brother Tian picked up the red Go and put it in his jacket pocket, and just now from Li Tao ran out of the house in a hurry, it can be concluded that the kid surnamed Bi should be the successor designated by Wang Lao, and he didn't want to care about these things. But now it doesn't work, the spotted leopard has appeared, and it seems that I have to go to Wang Lao's place.

I escaped in the morning, and after the old stick and they left, I kept chatting with Huang Rong under the willow tree. At noon, Huang Rong went home for dinner, and my mother and the others also came back. In the afternoon, Uncle Wang came back from Hongxing Town by bicycle, and he brought back the news that no one went to the police station to report the case that day. What kind of psychology does it take to be hurt in one eye by someone else, and then you don't go to the police station to report the case, do you want to solve it with me in private? I'm still scared, but at least I don't have to worry about the police coming to arrest me now. I didn't go into the house, but I sat alone under the willow tree and unfolded the letter Wu Xia wrote to me: she said some comforting words in the letter, telling me that I could not change the affairs of the adults in my family, and told me that after she graduated from the health school in the future, the family would find her a job as a nurse in a hospital in the provincial capital through her connections, and let me go to the provincial capital in advance, work hard in the provincial capital to make money, and in the future she will save money to buy a house and get married with me after graduation. Knowing that the police would not come to arrest me, and seeing Wu Xia's letter like this, I felt a lot better. I know that she said in the letter that she would save money to buy a house with me, this is to comfort me, this kind of thing is not possible, and her family will not agree. I thought in my heart, don't worry, Wu Xia, if I can go to the army this winter, don't do anything during this period, I will definitely carry a sedan chair to marry you in the future.

I was thinking about it, and an off-road vehicle drove directly from the avenue into my home's Yonglu, which is a rare thing, and we rarely come to our house, let alone a car to my house. The window of the car I was driving slowly fell, I rushed over and put my head into the window, held Li Tao's face and began to kiss, kissing while saying: Why are you Li Tao? I thought I'd never see you again, I got into a big accident, I blinded people's eyes.

Li Tao pushed my head away vigorously, wiped the saliva from his face with his hands, and said: Get out, get out of the way, after being kissed by you, don't be too long on my face, get in the car first, I happen to have something to ask you. I ran over and opened the passenger door and got into the car. As soon as I sat down, Li Tao began to ask me, tell me, how did you get that red Go? I was a little surprised when he came up and asked, so I asked, "How did you know I got that red Go?" Do you have any cigarettes on you? Give me a cigarette first, I haven't smoked for a long time, and the box of cigarettes on my body just now was all given to others.

Li Tao said: I was in a hurry to go out, and I didn't bring any cigarettes with me, isn't there a small store in Tunzikou? I'll drive with you, let's go buy a box, I'm driving, you tell me at the same time, Li Tao began to reverse the car out of Yonglu, Li Tao drove, I told him in detail what happened in the past two days on the side, when I said that I blinded the bald man's eye with a stone, I told him that the red Go was this bald man's, Li Tao listened to me After saying this, he opened his mouth wide. He asked me incredulously if I was sure that the red Go was the bald man's. I nodded affirmatively. The car has been parked in front of the store for a long time, Li Tao laughed, patted me on the shoulder and said: Get out of the car brother, I will pick the most expensive cigarette if you want to smoke.

We are a small mountain village, the common people have no money, and the most expensive cigarette in the store is the Hilton, but I have always felt that the Hilton is too strong, and I still want a box of red mountain tea. There was a miasma of smoke in the shop, a large group of people playing with tractors, a few fresh faces, and very loud voices, probably the ones my brother had said had come from out of town to collect cattle. After Li Tao and I finished giving the money, we turned around with a cigarette and were about to walk out, when Li Tao suddenly stopped and said: Boss, how much is your poker pair? Get me a deck of poker. I hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said: I have poker at home, I'll get you a few pairs in a while, my mother often plays, and they have a lot of wholesale. At this time, I saw Li Tao's right hand knocking on the trouser line a few times, and he was talking to me in sign language. It means to shut up the mountain cannon. The boss in my heart is unhappy, let me shut up, just let me shut up, why scold me for being a mountain artillery, I don't want you to save some money, be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs.

When I got out of the shop and got back into the SUV, I couldn't help but ask him what he was doing with poker.

Li Tao said: This is not ordinary poker, it is magic poker. These pokers are likely to be put by these old people, and it is estimated that the uncle who opened the store does not know. If you think about it, you can gamble with your people here with this kind of magic poker, they can recognize every card from the back, he knows yours, but you don't know him, and you can't lose to you.

It must have been those cattle collectors, I thought of them at once. I suspected it when I heard my brother say it before, but considering that it had nothing to do with me and there was no evidence, I didn't dig deeper. I asked Li Tao if this kind of card is good or not, can I learn it? Li Tao said that it was a layer of window paper, which was pierced and easy to recognize. He promised to teach me how to recognize the cards when he left. Li Tao drove the car all the way outside the tunzi, found a remote place to stop, and each of us lit a cigarette.

Huang Rong went to my house this morning and told me that you had asked her about me before, and you had told me before, but you were alone when you told me, but Huang Rong said today that there were two people at the time, you and an old man, can you tell me who that person is? I say.

You guessed correctly, it was Li Tao who you guessed.
