The fat man and I looked at each other, and couldn't speak, but my brain was spinning rapidly, and Tang Renjie suddenly asked what this sentence meant? Is he cheating on the fat man? I still know that I am with the fat man at this time, because I guessed that there must be Tang Renjie's people watching around us in this village, otherwise Tang Renjie would not have put that little drought fish at my door just right.

Yes, it was precisely because we just thought that the fool was looking for the child, and when the third grandfather stopped us from digging, the dead child was placed at my doorstep. So it was natural for me and the fat man to think that this might be a compromise between the people of the village, and no one thought about Tang Renjie's side.

So Tang Renjie's people, in the shadows, know what we are doing, and know what we need.

From the time Tang Renjie asked that sentence, to now I have been silent with the fat man for thirty seconds, my heart sank, I knew that it had actually leaked, the fat man did not answer immediately, with Tang Renjie's brain, he knew the current state of the two of us, I knew that I couldn't hide it, I said into the phone: "Boss Tang, I'm here." ”

"I'm sorry about what happened last time, if it weren't for your eldest brother being so faceless, I wouldn't have thought that I would make things so embarrassing." Tang Renjie laughed on the other side of the phone.

"That's all in the past, but Boss Tang, I really didn't expect that with your identity, I would still be interested in this poor and remote place. And you know everything about this side of things, how can you make me embarrassed to grow up here? I said.

"Would it be convenient to meet?" Tang Renjie asked on the other side of the phone.

I thought about it for a moment and said into the phone, "Okay, but this time the location must not be here, let's go find you." ”

"Okay, come over and call, I'll be waiting for you at any time." Tang Renjie said, after speaking, he hung up the phone.

After I really hung up the phone, I found that my head was already full of sweat, although it was just a conversation over the phone, I was very nervous, not only because Tang Renjie was the richest man in the whole Luoyang, but because he always gave people a feminine and calculating feeling, which invisibly gave me a lot of pressure.

The fat man looked at me and said, "Fat man, I'm right, right?" Tang Renjie is very cunning, not to mention anything else, businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, let's want to talk from his mouth, maybe in the end, whoever takes advantage will suffer. ”

"What then? To see or not to see? I looked at the fat man and said, in fact, I also felt that I was not necessarily sure that I would go with the fat man to see Tang Renjie, after all, we were not my eldest brother, and we had absolute force value as a backing.

"Why not? There's a fat man, can he eat you? The fat man said, after speaking, the fat man yawned and said, "You go back, the fat man sleeps for a while, at least you have to raise this leg first." ”

- I came home after coming out of the village committee, and when I got home, I found that Han Xue was not there, but I immediately reacted that today is Monday, she should be at school now, even if I didn't sleep all night last night, I still don't feel a little sleepy, I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, and wanted to call my eldest brother, but I didn't want to.

The fat man almost made a move with the eldest brother today, these two people are almost inseparable now, with my understanding of the eldest brother, he will definitely be incompatible with the fat man in the future, and I immediately called the fat man a brother after leaving the eldest brother's house, and now I am even behind the back of the eldest brother to contact Tang Renjie, who the eldest brother has always disliked, which makes me feel very guilty about the eldest brother in my heart.

I really don't want to do anything to be sorry for my eldest brother, the sentence that my eldest brother said is my brother makes me very moved when I think about it now, but I really don't want to say anything to my eldest brother is extremely dissatisfied, even if I know that it must be for my good to hide something from me, in order to satisfy my own curiosity and make me more active in front of the whole thing, I have to do something sorry for my eldest brother, this is where I am entangled.

At the end of the day, I'm an adult and have my own thinking and judgment.

But my eldest brother treats me as a younger brother and a child, which is the biggest generation gap between the two of us.

Thinking of the eldest brother, I also remembered the words of the fat man, which made my heart heavier, for more than 20 years, I have actually always known that there is a big brother, but I have experienced several roller coaster fluctuations for the psychology of this big brother, before the eldest brother did not come back, I felt guilty, because the eldest brother was given away so that I could grow up next to my mother, it was he who fulfilled me, but after the eldest brother came back, he showed his strength, he became a legend-like person, although I didn't say it, but I was a little envious in my heart, I envy how good it was that I was sent out at that time, so that the fate of me and my eldest brother would be completely reversed, and that wise and powerful hero was me, how good would it be?

Today, the fat man told me that my eldest brother had to go through such a powerful way, but it made me feel cold and guilty again, after the eldest brother was passed out, he was going to start eating dead human flesh, and it was a swollen and rotten corpse soaked in water. If this is me, will I survive?

Just as I was thinking, my mother walked up to me, kicked me and said, "Yezi, why are you so stunned?" ”

I looked at my mother and asked, "Do you know the family where my eldest brother was passed out?" ”

The expression on my mother's face suddenly became strange, and she seemed to dodge the question, and said, "Why do you think of asking this?" ”

"I'm just asking, today I suddenly thought, the eldest brother can become so powerful, he must have suffered a lot, but when you were a child, you told me that the family that took in the eldest brother is very solid, and there are no men in the family, so the eldest brother was blessed in the past." I said.

My mother picked up her clothes and was silent for a while, she said: "The family that your eldest brother passed on is your grandfather's friend, so the family is rich or something, it was all said by your grandfather, in fact, I didn't want your eldest brother to go so far at first, not to admit it, but to think that I couldn't help it, or to see it again after the days passed, but your grandfather was more stubborn." ”

"Grandpa's friend?" I was stunned for a moment, I really don't know this.

"Well, maybe it's because of this that your grandfather didn't mention changing your surname to your eldest brother, the day your eldest brother came back, when he said that his name was Sun Zhongmou, you don't know how uncomfortable your mother was, he should have been called Ye Zhongmou!" My mom's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"It's not Mom, don't be sad, you said that the family surnamed Sun is a friend of Grandpa, what kind of friend is it, the relationship is very good?" I asked.

"Yes, the one who came to the village to take your eldest brother away is an old man, the old man's surname is Sun, I have never seen your grandfather drink, but they were both drunk that day, and their smoking guns are exactly the same." My mom said.

After listening to my mother's words, I turned my head to look at my grandfather, who was sitting on a small bench in front of the door waiting for the dry tobacco pouch, his eyes were cloudy and his ears were a little deaf, and my mother and I were so close to him that he didn't look at us at all, and he didn't participate in the conversation, because he could barely hear what we were saying.

Looking at such a grandfather, I suddenly felt a little incredible, and the rapid spread of an idea in my head made me almost uncontrollable.

I finally patted my head and said to myself, "The nerves are too tight, a little neurotic, and it doesn't feel normal to see anyone." ”

With that, I stood up.

Before entering the house, I suddenly glanced back at my grandfather, but I found that he was looking at me at this time, and his wrinkled face and cloudy old eyes made me feel an inexplicable taste, especially his expression, which made me feel strange and strange.

I didn't like this feeling very much, I smiled at him, and he squeezed out a smile on me, and this smile was even more meaningful.

"Don't think about it!" I said to myself in my heart, and after saying that, I walked into the house, opened the door of my room, and lay directly on Han Xue's bed.

I wanted to sleep, I wanted to sleep, but when I closed my eyes, my grandfather's strange expression just now would come to my mind, and I don't know why, I would feel a little scared.

Grandpa wasn't a kind man, for me, he was just a grandfather, if I had to add an adjective, he was a grandfather who loved to smoke.

Since I was a child, in my impression, my grandfather smoked dry tobacco in the yard every day, because of his poor health, he never went to the field to do farm work or anything else, and my mother only served him a bowl after cooking, he got up on time during the day and sat at the door to smoke, and went back to the house to sleep after eating at night, and then coughed in the first half of the night, and fell asleep in the second half of the night.

In his house, there was a strong smell of smoke and the smell peculiar to the elderly, which would have been worse if my mother hadn't washed his sheets and clothes every two days, including the floor.

This is an ordinary rural old man who can no longer be ordinary.

- I found that no matter how much I tried to keep myself from thinking, the thoughts that had just popped into my head lingered, and I sat up, and then half lay down on the bed and lit a cigarette.
