Chapter 37: The Third Man
The fat man has a resolute attitude, and those who are familiar with him know that he has made up his mind that he must do this, and if he doesn't see people, he can't be cured.
Pancake smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Both, we're both old acquaintances, there's no need to embarrass me so much." ”
I took over the conversation and said, "It's not to embarrass you, your boss's son doesn't need to be clear, you must also understand why the No. 88 water has an accident, you must know," I didn't break the words, and continued: "Pancakes, we are all old friends, this matter is also related to the life and death of me and the fat man, you objectively say, if we can't even see people, how do we know what happened to him?" ”
I've already said it very politely, and as for whether I understand it or not, it's about pancakes.
He scratched his head and said, "That's it, I'll ask our boss for instructions in the next two days, and then give you an answer, and if you have any other requirements, put them forward together." ”
I said, "I still have a request, this matter, I can't handle it with the fat man, we have to bring another person, if we can go to see it." ”
"Absolutely not!" Pancake was resolute this time: "Lao Chen, did you forget the confidentiality agreement you just signed?" I'll tell you from the perspective of a friend now, the boss behind me is really powerful, even bigger than you imagined, if you ignore the confidentiality agreement and disclose this matter to a third party, then I won't be able to protect you at that time. ”
The fat man smiled and said: "Pancakes, don't scare us, I'll tell you clearly, the person Lao Chen said, we will bring it, do you know why not?" Because that little ghost is hers! ”
Pancake was stunned for a moment: ", Lao Chen, you guys are awesome, can you find this kind of person?" ”
I was embarrassed to tell him what happened in my hometown village, but I didn't expect the fat man to continue with a big mouth: "Don't be surprised, I'll tell you more exciting news, that person is his mother's old Chen daughter-in-law!" Hahahaha! ”
I patted the fat man, thinking that he was talking too much, and the pancake looked at me with some suspicion: "Lao Chen, aren't you an antique?" Why are you involved with this kind of person? I haven't heard that you've gotten married recently, why did you pop up with a daughter-in-law? ”
"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have a chance later," I diverted the topic: "As for the confidentiality agreement, I will let her sign it together, and you have to tell the boss behind it, and we have these two conditions." ”
Pancake nodded and said that he could go and ask for instructions, so that our phones could be turned on at any time for the next two days, waiting for his news.
We drank some more tea until the second half of the night, when we were a little hungry, and went out to have a few skewers before going home.
On the way back, I counted down the fat man: "What are you telling him so much, you said that the little ghost is Li Yingxue's, didn't you sell her?" In case the pancake boss skips us directly and finds Li Yingxue, as soon as all kinds of means are used, it will be too late for us to regret it! ”
The fat man reassured me: "Old Chen, you are too underestimating your daughter-in-law, can you find out what kind of demon pill ghost can it be an ordinary person?" Oh yes, is it that people don't know yet, in short, you are too worried, your daughter-in-law must not know so much, and his boss can't do anything about pancakes. ”
When the fat man and I returned to the shop, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, and when we opened the door, Li Yingxue was making a pot of tea and preparing some snacks, waiting for us to come back.
As soon as the fat man smelled the fragrance, he was hungry again, so he smashed his mouth and said, "I can't get enough of the skewers, I still have to eat something, big sister, I am attentive, I got up so early to prepare breakfast." ”
Li Yingxue didn't talk nonsense with him, but turned her head and asked me, "How are things going?" ”
I told her back and forth about the matter, and Li Yingxue snorted coldly after hearing it: "That little water is a substitute for the dead, you two of you go over, if you can't cure him, the same consequences." ”
The fat man said as he ate, "So I told the pancakes that we must take you with us, otherwise he will find whoever he likes to do in this matter." ”
I saw that Li Yingxue had been frowning, so I asked her what was wrong, and she said a little worriedly: "I haven't touched that demon pill for a long time, and I don't know what happened to it during this period, so I may not have cleaned it up." ”
The fat man coughed when he heard the choking: "I said big sister, I don't take you to play like this, that thing is yours, we took all the work, you said that there is no way to clean it up at this time, isn't this pushing me and your man into the fire pit!" ”
I asked the fat man to say a few words to Li Yingxue: "It's too late to regret it now, I can only bite the bullet, I have been waiting for the news of pancakes for the past two days, if there is a situation, let's go together to see what is going on." ”
Li Yingxue nodded, picked up a few pages from the table and handed them to me, "This thing, I found it when I was packing up my things just now, where did you come from?" ”
I took it and looked at it, it was the pages that the fat man turned out last time looked like a book from heaven, I said: "This thing was left by my second uncle, the ghost knows where he got it, before the hometown moved, my grandfather said that this is something left by the second uncle before leaving, let me keep it, I put it in the store, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yingxue's eyes were a little evasive and said, "It's nothing, I'll just ask curiously." ”
The fat man was interested: "Yes, Lao Chen, I asked you last time, where is your second uncle?" I guess this is a treasure map he left for you. ”
I gave him a blank look and said, "You said that my grandfather left it last time, and now it will become my second uncle again, my second uncle, don't mention it, anyway, I don't have a good impression of him, so my old man is sad, and he dared to go out, and he never came back." ”
The fat man is good at everything, but he is too heavy on gossip, and he wants to ask everything clearly, Li Yingxue also looks like she wants to hear the story, I said, "What's the matter, why are you asking this." ”
"Hey, isn't this that you have nothing to do when you're full, and you're idle, you used to tell me about your grandfather, your father, and I knew for the first time that you had one or two uncles, what did he do, let's hear it, and let me make up a story in the future, go out and brag."
The fat man picked his teeth, took a cup of tea, took a sip, and grinned hotly.
"What about you?" I turned my head and asked Li Yingxue, "Why are you gossiping so much?" ”
She said, "Whatever you want, love to say it or not." ”
The fat man picked up: "Oh, I made the little daughter-in-law angry, why don't you hurry up and tell a story to coax people." ”
Li Yingxue's face was red for a while when the fat man said, and I cleared my throat and said, "Okay, then since you want to listen, I'll say it." ”
My grandfather gave birth to a total of two brothers, my father was the eldest, then my second uncle and my third uncle, but it is said that my third uncle died when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, as for why he died, I don't know, I only know that I really want to have something to do with my second uncle, and my father doesn't tell me, just ordering me not to mention the death of my third uncle in front of my second uncle in the future.
As for my grandfather, it is said that because of that incident, the relationship with the second uncle is not very good, when my grandmother was still there, she reconciled in the middle, and the two of them could at least sit at a table and have a meal without incident, but since my grandmother left, every time the second uncle came to eat, my grandfather always had to sneer, saying that he would not be able to farm, and that he lost money in business, and said that everything was fate, what kind of person like the second uncle should have died a long time ago, although my second uncle was angry, his teeth were itching, But the strange thing is that there has been no head-on conflict, but he has come to eat less and less, until the latter two basically only sit together for a meal every year on days like the Chinese New Year or the Mid-Autumn Festival.
My second uncle has never been married, I have the impression that he is about five or six years younger than my father, and now he is also in his fifties, I asked him why he didn't get married when I was a child, he always perfunctory me, and then I couldn't stand my question, he smoked and said to himself what he couldn't calm down, I didn't understand well, I always felt that there was something else in him.
Later, I went to school in the town, and there were fewer opportunities to meet my second uncle, originally I thought that the older I get, the more people may think about it, the better the relationship between him and my grandfather, plus my grandfather is also older, and he will not live for a few years, and the second uncle may be closer to him, but when I was twelve years old, I went back for the New Year, something big happened, and the relationship between my grandfather and my second uncle was completely changed.
