CHAPTER XLII

(Ying Biao realized that at this moment, what he was smoking was no longer a cigarette, but his identity and status.) )

As soon as Ying Yingning sent Wang Feng to the door of the Radio and Television Building, he received a call from his younger brother Ying Biao: "Sister, I have something to do with you." Ying Biao's voice on the other end of the phone was very dull.

"I just sent a customer to the door of the Radio and Television Building, come here."

"My motorcycle broke down, you come and pick me up, I'm at the bus station."

"Biaozi, are you alright? Wait, sister will be here soon. Ying Yingning said to Wang Feng, who was standing in front of the Peugeot car and was on the phone: "Wang Feng, I came to the site to shoot and interview on the day of the foundation laying of your construction site, and you notified me two or three days in advance. My brother looked for me, and I left first. ”

"Okay, goodbye!" Wang Feng finished the phone call and raised his hand to her.

"Goodbye!" Ying Yingning set up the car and left quickly.

Ying Yingning came to the station and saw her younger brother listless, standing under a freshly pruned French plane tree, and her heart ached. She was sad that she had not honored her father or taken good care of her younger brother for several years.

"Come on, Biaozi!" Ying Yingning shouted affectionately.

"Sister, I," Biaozi climbed into the car, and stopped talking.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Ying Yingning said worriedly.

"The person is fine, the car is broken." Ying Biao's forehead was sweating as he spoke.

"It's good that people are okay. Be careful when driving a motorcycle, it's dangerous every minute. Hearing Ying Biao say that people are fine, Ying Yingning was relieved.

"I don't have the money to fix the car." Ying Biao's head is hooked very low.

"Biaozi, you're really lucky, my sister just received a salary of 1,200 yuan yesterday, you can take it." Ying Yingning took out a salary bag from her handbag and handed it to Ying Biao, "Is it enough?" Not enough for me to go to the bank to pick it up. ”

"It should be enough."

"Have you eaten? If you sweat so much, you can't be sick, right? ”

"I've eaten it. Just ran over and it was a little hot. Not sick. Ying Biao was about to get out of the car, and suddenly found Chinese cigarettes under the windshield, "Sister! Do you smoke too? ”

"Nope! The customer just lost the car, you want to take it and smoke it. Cigarettes aren't a good thing though, you smoke less. ”

"Hmm." Ying Biao put the cigarette in his pocket, "Sister, go get busy." I got out of the car. I'm going to pick up the motorcycle. ”

"Alright! Call me if you have something to do, and do more things for my dad. ”

"Hmm" Ying Biao nodded and got out of the car.

Ying Yingning saw a traffic police officer coming from a distance, and drove the car away with a sigh.

The leopard slept at home until two o'clock in the afternoon and did not get up, he wanted to go anywhere, but he did not dare to go anywhere, because the money was lost. He knew that Ying Biao didn't have much money left, and he was embarrassed to ask for it, so he died in bed. The leopard is not a good person, because the whole village thinks he is bad. He was arrested by the public security for stealing, and after squatting in the number for two years, his reputation was ruined. I don't want to do small things, I can't do big things, and I am in the company of people who are brave and ruthless, fighting and making trouble all day long. Idle, not doing business, bent on making a windfall. His parents couldn't take him, so they had to let him go.

"Leopard, come out." Ying Biao shouted at the door on a motorcycle.

"Brother Biao, come in and sit! I haven't gotten up yet. When the leopard heard Ying Biao's voice, he bounced off the bunk like a dog flea and hurriedly got dressed.

"What are you doing at night?" Ying Biao came in and gave him a blank look, and sat on the wooden sofa next to the bed.

"Brother Biao, there's a cigarette next to the pillow, I'll wash my face." The leopard walked out of the house while tying his leash.

Ying Biao lit a Chinese cigarette that the bosses who wanted to advertise fell on his sister's car. To be honest, he had never smoked such an expensive cigarette. If you want to say a pack or two, it's not that you can't afford it. It's just that this burnt thing, why is it so expensive? Isn't that a lie? He couldn't find a reason to accept it, so he insisted that he never bought it. But in his heart, the mystery of Chinese cigarettes is getting stronger and stronger. Today, I was fortunate to light a Chinese cigarette that I have always rejected in my heart and have always longed for, and I inexplicably produced a kind of awe-inspiring piety in my heart. He tried to take a careful breath, as if he had kissed the toes that the smoke saint cocked lightly, and immediately appreciated the domineering spirit of the awe-inspiring majesty. Ying Biao realized that at this moment, what he was smoking was no longer a cigarette, but his identity and status.

"Brother Biao! Where did you get the Chinese cigarettes! The leopard packed up and came in, staring at the Chinese cigarette in Ying Biao's hand, his eyes glowing green.

"Ying Biao understood what worship is in his eyes, and he also understands what it means to conquer." Let's have one! He flung a cigarette at the leopard. The leopard didn't pick it up right away, but when the smoke was falling, he stretched out his right hand, stretched out his index finger and middle finger, and caught the smoke when it was about to hit the ground. The whole process is a long story, but it seems to be a smooth process.

Ying Biao began to look at him and didn't answer, thinking that he was stupid. But the leopard's actions behind made Ying Biao directly stupid.

"Leopard, when did you have this skill? He's like reading a martial arts novel. Ying Biao looked at the leopard with surprised eyes, and suddenly felt that this well-known friend was a little strange.

The leopard seems to have found a sense in the burning Chinese smoke. He didn't notice the doubt in Ying Biao's eyes, and said smugly: "This is a fart!" There are even more powerful ones, as long as you don't object, are you afraid that you can't afford to smoke this thing? He exhaled a smoke ring and watched it dissipate.

The kung fu that the leopard showed just now is indeed a miraculous skill. But what else does he have that he is capable of? As long as I don't object, smoking Chinese cigarettes is not a serious matter, what kind of unfathomable means will it be? Don't you go back to your old business and continue to be a gentleman on the rails! Thinking like this, Ying Biao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Did you go to the docks yesterday to play cards?" Ying Biao asked.

"Hit the hell! Without this, how to get there? The leopard rubbed his thumb and index finger together in his right hand and made a gesture to count the money.

"Oh." Ying Biao took out his wallet, took out three hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the leopard, "Go early today, play steady, it is impossible to lose every day." ”

"If I lose again, I'll quit the gambling world!" The leopard shook the renminbi in his hand vigorously, making a rustling sound. He glanced at Ying Biao and said mysteriously, "These are three old hens!" ”

"I didn't go yesterday, I slept at home for a day and a night, but I couldn't sleep." Ying Biao shook his head and said, "Oops! It's a hard time to have no money. ”

So you went to town this morning? The leopard tried to ask.

"How do you know?" Ying Biao's answer confirmed the leopard's speculation.

"It's not easy, ask your sister to borrow money! I wish I had a rich sister! When the leopard said this, he looked a little depressed.

"Fool! Is this what you want? Ying Biao got up from the sofa and said, "Don't procrastinate, let's go." ”

"Not necessarily." Said the leopard.

"Why?" Ying Biao was puzzled.

"The two in-laws only quarreled the night before."

"Aren't you just talking about it? What's the big deal. ”

"It's noisy in the back! How do you know? ”

"I don't know, you know?" Ying Biao's expression became indifferent.

"Oh," the leopard said as if he had accidentally slipped his mouth, but he didn't dare to hide it. He blushed and said, "Brother Biao, I'm sorry, you sent me back the night before yesterday, and I followed you out after you left." ”

"Where are you going?"

"The docks!"

"What for?"

"Isn't there no money, I want to go to the repair shop next door that no one is around, and get something valuable to sell."

"You still want to go to jail! Have you done it? Ying Biao's tone was obviously aggravated, "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and they have the ability to go outside." ”

"It's good that I didn't do it, and it will be troublesome." The leopard opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, pretending to be afraid.

"Say it quickly. Muddy and watery. Ying Biao said impatiently.

"I saw that the lights of the shop had not yet been turned off, so I hid under the window by the river and listened to the movement. Guess what I heard? "The leopard deliberately hung up on Ying Biao's appetite.

"If there's a fart, let it go." Ying Biao was held by the leopard's words.

"I started arguing, as if I suspected that the proprietress had stolen her wild husband; Then someone came on a motorcycle; then I heard that the shopkeeper was called Xiao Bingheng; Then someone rode away; Then someone on the dock sighed; Then there was the sound of the chatter. The leopard paused, a confused look on his face, "It's strange to say, it's all this night, what are those people doing on the docks?" Besides, the shopkeeper can't work so his wife, right? The buffalo ploughed the fields, making the whole wooden shed shake. I wanted to listen to it for a while, but my heart was empty. When I heard the sound of boating in the river, I immediately left. ”

It turned out that the black shadow that came out of the corridor of the wooden shed on the dock the night before was a leopard.
