Chapter 44: Waiting for the Results

It's a beautiful environment, the temperature is pleasant, there is no stuffy heat during the day, and there is no icy cool breeze at night.

This tent is very large, enough for me and Brother Slag to lie down, I lay on the inside of the tent and fell asleep comfortably, Brother Slag only lay down in the middle of the night.

Around two o'clock in the morning, I felt a cold, biting thing crawl on my belly, and it crawled very slowly, as if it was probing me carefully, and it made me feel very awkward.

I opened my eyes and looked into my belly, and I saw a worm-like blind snake lying on my belly, spitting out its whiskers and crawling towards my neck.

I sat up instantly, shocked, in a cold sweat, and my face had turned pale.

I've seen this snake before, it's not venomous, it lives in tropical or subtropical mountains, it's not very big, but why did it crawl into our tent.

I shouted at Brother Scum: "Brother Scum, there is a snake, get out quickly." ”

After hearing this, Brother Scumbag hurriedly woke up from his sleep, he looked at me in a panic and said, "Where are you?" ”

I grabbed the snake by the waist and said with an anxious look, "You go out first." ”

Brother Scumbag quickly crawled out of the tent, the blind snake curling in my hands, cold and biting.

I stumbled out of the tent, and threw the blind snake into the grass by the side of the road, and my heart was beating so hard that I could not calm down for a long time.

Brother Scumbag approached me and said, "Have you been bitten?" ”

I shook my head in horror and said to the scumbag, "This grass snake is not poisonous, but I wonder why it crawled into the tent, could it be the ghost of the noble lady?" ”

Brother Scumbag sighed for a while, sighed and said: "It's very possible, this old woman really has any means, and she can use this kind of yin and dirty tricks, it's really shameless." ”

After the turmoil passed, I had no intention of sleeping, I sat in the tent with Brother Scumbag and smoked, Brother Scumbag looked at me and said, "Tomorrow we will find out where Xue Xinyan goes, and we will leave." ”

I asked, confused, "Will the old witch tell us both?" ”

"Hmph, if she still cares about face, she will tell the two of us."

I opened my phone and clicked on WeChat, Xue Xinyan's avatar was still the photo taken in Qufu, pure and cute, beautiful eyes, and graceful.

Suddenly, I saw that Zhang Xueyao had a text message, so I clicked in, she wrote: I finished talking to Sister Zhao, you can come back to work in the next few days, remember, no pigeons are allowed to be released again.

Thinking of the work of the warehouse manager, I asked for leave again and again, and Zhang Xueyao was still fighting for me, in addition to gratitude, there was also a trace of warmth in my heart.

I clicked on the input box and typed: Okay, I know, I'm not local now, and when I'm done here, I'll go back to work, thank you.

As soon as the message was sent, the mobile phone sounded a low battery alarm, and when I saw that the battery was still five percent, I hurriedly asked my brother: "Brother scumbag, can this classic car charge the mobile phone?" ”

Brother scumbag looked at me with disdain and said, "Charging? It's good that this car can drive away, and you can buy a power bank when the phone is out of battery. ”

I glanced at the broken car parked on the side of the road again, and said helplessly: "It's all to blame for not getting ready in advance, let's go into the city tomorrow, buy a power bank, it's okay if the phone is out of battery." ”

"Tell me when it's dawn, won't you sleep?"

I rubbed my eyes and said, "I can sleep for a few more hours, I'm lying down for a while." ”

I dreamed of Langya Mountain, although I have never been there, but when I was in school, I learned an ancient text of Ouyang Xiu in the textbook, "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion", and the praise is Langya Mountain, and I dreamed of Langya Mountain, the Langya Mountain in Baoding City, I have been thinking, what is the difference between these two mountains.

It was noisy outside, with cars passing by the street, passers-by talking, and faint singing in the distance.

I woke up from my sleep, the scum brother was lying next to me and fell asleep, I looked at my watch, it was half past six, and the sky was already bright.

I sat up, climbed out of the tent, and accidentally touched the head of the scumbag, he woke up, rubbed his eyes, and asked me, "What time is it?" ”

"It's past six o'clock."

"Did the old woman come out?"

I climbed out of the tent and saw that the car in the yard was still parked there, so I turned back to the scumbag brother and said, "The car is still there, and the people should not have left." ”

After hearing this, the scumbag brother yawned and said with a haggard expression: "That's okay, you are staring." ”

I nodded, and I went.

Brother Slag took out the rations he bought yesterday, including biscuits, bread, potato chips, shortbread and the like, threw me a bag of bread and said, "Let's take a bite first." ”

I ate mineral water and a bag of bread and two shortbreads.

At about eight o'clock, the lady walked out of the small building with a proud face, and got into the car, she wore heavy makeup, her lips were smeared with blood red, as if she had eaten a hen raw, her eyes were covered with thick eye shadow, and she couldn't tell whether her eyelids were still eyeballs, and she was wearing a red dress and red high heels, much like the evil witch in "Vampire Hunter".

She drove the car out, parked by the tent, looked at the two of us with contempt and said, "You two are guarding here, it's just a waste of time, I still advise you two to go back and forth from where you are, you are not welcome here." ”

After speaking, he was about to drive away, and the scumbag brother said disdainfully: "Okay, let's see who can have the last laugh, if you still want to be faced." ”

"You"

Brother Scumbag laughed softly: "What are you, aren't you a celebrity, don't want to be ruined, if you are still a smart person, just tell me where Xue Xinyan is, or her contact information, and we promise not to bother you again." ”

After hearing this, the noble lady squeezed out a smirk on her face and said hypocritically: "Hmph, don't be delusional. ”

After saying that, he drove away.

I looked at Brother Scumbag and said, "Brother Scum, let's go to the city first, I see that there is no supermarket here." ”

"Okay, let's go, I don't think this matter will be resolved for a while."

"So, is this tent back in the car or..."

"Of course it's here, the matter is not settled, and the tent must not be taken away."

When the car drove to the lake, I saw a lot of people sitting at the water's edge fishing, not far from the lake, there was a small shop that rented fishing gear, I saw this scene, and said to the scumbag: "Brother scum, do you want to rent a fishing rod when we come back from the city." ”

Brother Scumbag closed his eyes and said, "What are you renting that thing for?" ”

"Fishing, or I have nothing to do today, so I can pass the time."

"What do you kid think about it, come back and talk about it, let's go to the city for a meal first, I ate a day's snacks yesterday, and I feel a little indigestion."

The car drove into the city, where the high-rise buildings are lined up, the prosperity is incomparable, the spacious streets, the traffic is busy, the flow is endless, and groups of pedestrians hurriedly walk over, as if they are about to be late for work, and their expressions are anxious.

I said to Brother Scum: "People in this big city have a fast pace of life, and they are busy every day and don't know what to do. ”

Brother Scumbag looked out the window and said, "If you want to make money, don't you need money to support your family?" ”

I glanced at the scumbag brother and said: "When people are old, they want to return to their roots, return to their hometown, and go out for a while in life, and finally return to zero." ”

Brother Scumbag turned his head, looked at me and said: "That's different, people go out of their hometown to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons, if you live in your hometown all your life, it's not impossible, but you have different views, different ideas, and different views on problems." ”

I wondered, "What about you, did you leave your hometown and come here to earn money to support your family, or to increase your knowledge?" ”

"It's both, when I earn enough money and return to my hometown, I will talk to the villagers about what I have seen and heard here.

I have always admired Brother Scum, he has not read any books, but he has a lot of social experience, and he looks at things in the long term, he is alone, he has a perseverance and perseverance, he only believes in one thing, a happy life is spelled out with his own hands, and the world is not so complicated, but there are too many mediocre people to complicate it.

The car stopped on the opposite side of a supermarket, I looked down at my watch, and at half past nine in the morning, there were very few people visiting the supermarket during this time.

Brother Scumbag pushed a shopping cart, took two dozen beers and put them in the car, and bought a bunch of emergency rations, I persuaded him: "Don't buy too much, it's easy to spoil in hot weather." ”

"We have to be prepared for a protracted battle, we can't run to the city every day, it's a waste of time to go back and forth for 140 kilometers."

After settling the bill, the two of us found a dumpling restaurant and sat down, and the scumbag brother hiccuped all the time, and I laughed at him and said, "You have eaten all tomorrow's meals, take it easy, don't burst your stomach." ”

Brother Scumbag smiled and said: "I want to eat one meal for three days, but I am always hungry, and there is no way." ”

Everything was purchased, we drove back to the villa area, just drove to the door of the lady's house, I saw two men in black dismantling our tent, I hurriedly parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, and after getting out of the car, I rushed to the two men in black, and the scumbag brother shouted anxiously behind me: "Xiaotao, you can't fight." ”

After hearing this, I calmed down, and the scumbag brother walked over unhurriedly, looked at the man in black and said, "If you dismantle this tent today, it will be a big deal, don't you believe it?" Then you can dismantle it. ”

The man in black hesitated for a moment, glared at the scumbag brother and said, "We are just acting on orders, you can't blame me." ”

After hearing this, Brother Scum laughed softly: "Acting on orders? On whose orders? That old woman, you call her now, let her come over, I will see if there is a royal law in this world, I am here to seek justice with her, she ignores me, and forcibly drives me away. ”

At this time, a few passers-by came over, saw this funny scene, and stopped to watch.

Seeing this, Brother Scumbag instantly raised his voice, and he shouted: "Let's take a look, how insidious this family is, not only beating my brother like this, but also not allowing me to come over to ask for an explanation, since we ignore the law and ignore us vulnerable groups, everyone evaluates and evaluates, is there any justice in the world, is this like the style of the boss of a listed company." ”

The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, they pointed and pointed, and the discussion was boiling, and after the two men in black saw this, they glanced at each other, and one of them took out his mobile phone and walked out of the crowd, as if he was calling the noblewoman.

After a while, the man in black walked into the crowd again, he stood in front of the scumbag brother, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Madame said, as long as you two don't make noise, she can sit down and talk to the two of you." ”

When I heard this, I thought to myself that the noble lady had relented, and she was afraid that she would be ruined, and even though she was rich and wealthy, it was terrible to lose her reputation.

Brother Scumbag looked at the man in black contemptuously and said, "Hmph, if she had this idea earlier, why bother and waste time." ”

The two men in black were speechless and turned to leave.

Seeing that there was no bustle to see, the crowd also dispersed.

I asked Brother Scum, "Brother Scum, she said she wanted to talk, so can this tent be put away." ”

Brother Scumbag said with a flat expression: "I can't accept it now, when will she tell Xue Xinyan's whereabouts, it's not too late to collect it." ”

I said, "Then why are we going now, the old witch won't be back for a while." ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to fish, then go fishing."

We drove to the lake, where the air was crisp and the scenery was pleasant, and many anglers had set up a tall parasol and sunglasses, and were watching their fishing rods intently.

I went to the small shop by the lake and rented two fishing rods, prepared some bait, two fishing hooks, two bamboo chairs, and a fishing box.

The lotus leaves in the lake are pointy, and there are a few waterfowl landing on the lotus leaves, bouncing, I asked the scumbag: "I heard that there is a kind of waterfowl in the south, which builds nests and hatches eggs on the lotus leaves, is it this kind of waterfowl." ”

Brother Scumbag was staring at his fish drift meticulously, and said softly: "Be quiet, the fish are scared away by you, there are so many water birds in the south, how can I know." ”

I said helplessly: "We've been sitting here for almost an hour, and we haven't caught a single fish, isn't this position right, I think the group has caught several fish." ”

"You have to be patient when you fish, it's okay if you can't catch it, anyway, we're here to make soy sauce, and even if we catch it, there's no pot of stewed fish."

What the scumbag brother said is very reasonable, we are now sleeping on the street and can't catch fire.

I looked at the scumbag brother and said, "Then you can take it to the restaurant, let the chef do it, and then give him the processing fee." ”

Brother Scumbag suddenly whispered: "Shh, I'm hooked." ”

I saw that his line was shaking slightly, and I hurriedly said to him, "Quick, hurry up and reel in the rod." ”

Brother Slag excitedly turned the fishing reel, and after a while, a grass carp bit the hook and was lifted up by Brother Slag, this fish is huge, phosphorescent and shining, at least three or four catties in weight.

I looked at the big fish excitedly and said, "Brother scum, you are really amazing, since you have caught such a big grass carp, it seems that we have dinner today." ”

Brother Scumbag lit a cigarette and said proudly: "How about it, novices also have spring, fishing must be patient, not in a hurry." ”

At this time, my fishing rod also shook slightly, and the scumbag brother said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Hooked, hooked." ”

I turned the reel in a panic, thinking to myself, one for each person, just enough to eat.

After a while, a crucian carp was thrown into the bucket by me, I was extremely disappointed, I looked at the big grass carp of the scumbag brother and felt unhappy, my little crucian carp was not even half a catty, not enough to stuff my teeth.

We spent the afternoon catching five or six fish, grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and then walked into the shop with a bucket of water, and returned the fishing tackle and rod, and were about to turn to leave, when the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped us and said, "Sell me the fish in your hand, two of you." ”

I asked, "Do you collect the fish?" ”

The boss smiled and said: "Yes, there are many tourists who come here to fish not for their own food, most of them are to pass the time, they like the process of fishing, they sell the fish to me, and I am sending it to the local fish pot shop to sell it for a difference." ”

A few fish were sold for a total of 85 yuan, and the scumbag brother said happily: "It's just enough for today's oil money." ”

"Yes, let's go back, it's getting dark, and the old witch doesn't know if she's coming back."

We drove back to the lady's house, I parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, got out of the car and looked into the courtyard, the Bentley was parked in the courtyard, I thought to myself, the lady came back so early today, did she want to talk to me early, and then send us away.

Brother Scumbag walked over, looked in the direction of the courtyard and said, "Hmph, this old woman came back very early today." ”

At this moment, the white wooden door of the small building opened, and a woman who looked like a housekeeper came over, looked at the two of us, and said, "Come in with me, Madame wants to see you both." ”

I thought to myself, this old witch is quite good at posing.

Brother I followed the housekeeper into the small building, and there was a luxurious and exquisite decoration everywhere in sight, with dazzling crystal chandeliers, antique rosewood furniture, soft blue carpets, and all kinds of unknown oil paintings hanging on the wall.

The lady sat on the leather couch, took off her heavy makeup, wrinkles were engraved in the corners of her eyes, and her skin was sallow, sweeping away the prestige of the past.

In the spacious living room, there is a light blue coffee table, all kinds of tea cups, teapots, tea pets, tea cups, tea drains, etc., are placed in a staggered manner, very tasteful.

Brother and I sat in front of the coffee table, and the housekeeper poured two cups of tea for the two of us, and then exited the living room.

The lady looked at me with a flat expression and a kind attitude and said: "Wang Tao, I don't mean to hinder you from being with Xinyan, you also have to pat your conscience, you and Xinyan are really not suitable, the family background and material foundation are not suitable, what reason do you let me marry my daughter to you." ”

I was instantly furious when I heard this, but when I thought that she could tell me this calmly, then I should also take a firm stand.

I suppressed this anger, looked at the lady and said: "I have been with Xinyan for more than ten years, we have already been engaged and want to start a family, but you appear out of thin air and win people's love, this is the style of villains, you can support such a big family business, I must be able to tolerate a lot of things in my heart, I am with Xinyan is my own choice, it has nothing to do with anyone, now is the era of free love, although I know that I am not worthy of her, but I will try my best to be worthy of her and make you satisfied, You can't deny my inadequacies at first sight. ”

I said a lot in one breath, and after listening to it, Brother Scumbag also took over and said: "Yes, let's be reasonable, we don't want to be ugly, you fight first, and what you did is not right, young people fall in love, parents can give advice and reference, but you can't do everything possible to disrupt and destroy, you are a smart person, such a simple truth should be understood." ”

After a while, she looked at me and said: "Xinyan is now in New York, USA, I sent her out to study business management, not the imprisonment you two said, I can tell you Xinyan's contact information, but you also have to promise me one thing, I won't stop you two." ”

I was overjoyed and overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

The lady picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip lightly, then gently put it on the coffee table, and said unhurriedly: "You need to do something to be proud of, there are achievements, I will be satisfied, I will not marry my daughter to a jobless vagrant." ”

I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by things that have achievements?" What if you are not satisfied with what I do, this is a false proposition. ”

The lady smiled and whispered, "Then it depends on how capable you are." ”

At this time, the butler came over and handed me an envelope, and I was a little surprised, and I tore it open to see that it was a white paper folded in, and on the white paper was a string of numbers.

I looked up at the lady, she held the teacup and said, "This is Xinyan's contact information, you'd better call her less so as not to affect her studies." ”

After speaking, he motioned to the housekeeper to send off the guests.

Walking out of the courtyard gate, Brother Scumbag looked at me happily and said, "How about it, it has an effect, now I know where your girlfriend is." ”

I was still holding the blank piece of paper, and I was fascinated, and Brother Scum asked me curiously, "What do you think?" ”

I raised my head, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "I think, I want to go to Xinyan." ”
