I flipped it up and saw that it was my buddy in Beijing, the fat man, who was calling.

A few days ago, after my cousin's money arrived, I transferred the money to the fat man and asked him to help me repay the loan shark.

But this guy has never been a good guy, so I hung up the phone, looked up and said to my cousin: "Cousin, don't think too much, there are many rules for white things in the village, and you are now considered an elder of mine, you can give some advice and come up with ideas, of course." ”

But before I could say anything, the phone rang again, and it was a fat call.

I had to get up and walk outside the door, pick up the phone, and ask him what was wrong.

"Lao Chen, are you missing? Where?? The fat man asked on the other end of the phone.

"Tell me quickly, I'm going to be a little busy, have you paid back the loan shark?" I asked the fat man.

"That's what I'm looking for you," the fat man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Your money, I paid it back, but people also let it go, saying that although you paid back the money, people are missing and have been playing with them for so long, if you dare to go back to Beijing, you have to unload one of your legs!" ”

"it!" I was surprised, "What do you mean?" Lao Tzu's money has been returned! ”

"Don't yell at me," the fat man said impatiently: "But you fat man, I can bear it, and I will put this matter down for you, but it's not for you to carry the matter for nothing, people said, if you still want to go back to Beijing to mix, another 500,000!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, the little money that my cousin left me, in addition to filling the hole in the loan shark, I kept 300,000 yuan, and I was going to go back to renew the rent of my small shop, and make some money by making a good business, where can I find the 500,000 yuan?

The landlord of the shop called me several times to ask me to pay the rent, saying that if I didn't pay it next month, he would sublet the shop to someone else, so that all the money I had saved in Beijing for so many years was gone.

I hurriedly asked him, "Fatty, you don't want to get money from me, do you?" ”

"Hey, Lao Chen, you touch your conscience and say," the fat man on the other end of the phone was also anxious: "Lao Tzu has been messing with you for so long, when did you hack your money?" ”

I think about it, when I came to Beijing to be poor and white, it was the fat man who brought me to the road, although he followed him to swagger and deceive, but he finally survived the most difficult period, he should not do this kind of thing.

"Okay, I'll contact you when I get back."

I was just about to hang up the phone, but the fat man yelled again: "Lao Chen, you have to come back quickly, Lao Tzu has put his life on you this time, and he will carry this matter for you, if you run away, Lao Tzu will be played to death by the loan sharks!" ”

I reassured him a few more words, hung up the phone, and wondered where to change it to another 500,000.

When I got back into the house, I sat down and was about to ask how the discussion was going, when I saw three people with strange expressions.

My cousin still looked cold, the old blind man had a smile on his face, and Uncle Li looked like he had eaten, and his face was ugly.

As soon as I saw that there was something wrong, I asked them what was going on.

But none of them spoke, I asked several times, and finally the old blind man patted me and said, "Xiao Chen, you discuss it first, and then look for me when you are sure!" ”

After saying that, he got up and left, I was going to send him, Uncle Li got up and grabbed me, and said with a gloomy face: "You come with me, I'll have a few words with you." ”

Uncle Li pulled me outside the house and asked me, "Is that old blind man okay?" ”

I was stunned by his question, so I asked him what they had just discussed.

Uncle Li said anxiously: "Just now we asked your cousin what she was going to do about your cousin's white affairs, guess what she said?" She said it was better not to do it! Listen, is that like a word? ”

I was stunned when I heard it, so I asked him why, Uncle Li shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know, no matter how much I ask, I won't speak, what's even more annoying is that your cousin said that he couldn't do it, and the old blind man still nodded!" It's okay to say no, I don't understand, where did you find this person. ”

I see that he is in a hurry like this, and I know that in fact, he is not anxious for his cousin because he can't do it, he is anxious for himself, if this white thing is not done, how can he get close to my cousin?

I reassured him a few words, and asked him to go home first and wait for news, and I first asked my cousin and the old blind man what they meant, this matter is a big matter, and there is no hurry for a day or two.

Before Uncle Li left, he kept telling me that the past few days have been good, and I should do things early, so as not to let the villagers say cool things.

When I sent him away, my cousin was still sitting there when I returned to the house, and I politely went over and asked, "That, cousin, I just heard that you don't recommend doing white things for my cousin?" Why? ”

She ignored me, didn't even look at me, kept staring at the bracelet in her hand in a daze, and didn't say a word.

This made me a little embarrassed, and continued to ask: "There are many rules in our village, especially the white thing, and my cousin is not clear, and the white thing is not handled well, I am worried..."

"Who said he died unexplained?"

Before I finished speaking, my cousin came coldly and scared me.

I stared at my cousin, trying to see what she was thinking in her eyes, but to my disappointment, there was no expression in her eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, with no bottom in sight.

I instinctively wanted to ask her what she meant, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed again.

To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in how my cousin died, firstly, he and I are not close relatives, secondly, his death is indeed strange, and secondly, my cousin is a little crazy, especially after last night's incident, I am now alone in the same room with her, and I feel cold in my back.

I was worried that I would ask more questions, and then ask some questions that should not be asked, so I swallowed the question, and said in a changed tone: "Cousin, it doesn't matter how my cousin left, the important thing is that he is now gone, and I won't do this white thing, I'm afraid that he will be unstable when he leaves, so I think..."

"It's done, and he's walking more unsteadily."

My cousin interrupted me again, but the difference was that this time, I found something else in her eyes, like the streaks of water that suddenly stirred up and disappeared on the stagnant water, anger!

She interrupted me twice in a row, and directly made me speechless, I thought I was still a more neat-tongued person, or I wouldn't be able to do the antique business, but the strange thing is that in front of my cousin, my mouth is like a cotton pants without elastic, how stupid and stupid, she directly scolded me with two words.

I really didn't know what to say, so I could only snort, stood up and walked out, thinking of going to the old blind man and asking what to do about it, after all, he was a professional.

But as soon as I stood up, my eyes drifted, and I fell on the bracelet in my cousin's hand, and the words that the fat man had just told me came out of my head, and a bold idea came out.

If I had this money, I would not only be able to handle the loan shark business, but also make the business bigger and make more money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Once this person recognizes a sum of money, this idea will seem to be deeply ingrained in his mind, and he can't shake it off, so I took back the leg I had just stepped out of, went back and sat down again and asked my cousin: "That, cousin, why don't you agree to do white things for my cousin?" ”

I want to make her happy first, and then find a way to get the bracelet over, go back to Beijing after the matter is done, and resume the business matters, otherwise I will have a stiff relationship with her now, I don't want to think about this bracelet, and I have to find another way to raise the 500,000 yuan.

My cousin looked up at me with a strange look in her eyes and said, "I can agree." ”

"What are the conditions?" I immediately guessed the second half of her sentence.

My cousin said, "You have to do something for me." ”

"No problem!" I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Unexpectedly, she took off the jade bracelet in her hand, put it on the table, and said, "Tonight, you bury this bracelet in the wild cemetery at the west end of the village." ”

I didn't realize what I meant, so I asked her casually: "The wild cemetery is so big, where is it buried?" ”

My cousin smiled at me for the first time, it was beautiful, but it was even weirder: "Didn't you make a mark that night?" ”
