The streets of the Old Town were washed by heavy rain for several days.

The gray sky was oppressive.

On the way back, Liangzi and I played an umbrella, and Sister Bao'er followed Uncle Wang into the car and went to the east compound first.

On the way, I asked Liangzi what the third master was, and I felt that your father and the black blind man were very serious.

Liangzi said that it is normal that I don't know the third master, but they all came to Chongqing from Tibet, and the third master naturally knows.

The third master is over eighty years old, and I heard that he used to do "touch the blind", and the blind is a jargon, which means fortune telling.

Of course, fortune-telling was very popular in that era, and the third master mixed well in Tibet.

I said, what does he have to do with the owner?

Liangzi said that he heard that the owner used to follow him, and the owner was the third master's military advisor at that time, but later parted ways, and the owner went alone.

"Strategist?"

Little Japan didn't know how to fight at that time, I heard that the owner and the third master had been bandits in the mountains for a year or two, and the third master was ambitious, and he always felt that he was the life of a general.

Although the third master himself did not allow his subordinates to blatantly call himself a general, he asked the owner to change his name to the military division, which can be regarded as flattering the third master.

I said that the third master looks like a character.

Ryoko stopped, grabbed my hand and said solemnly, "The third master is no better than the owner, he is ruthless, your grandfather used to have a holiday with him, I heard that one of the third master's ears was cut off by your grandfather, you have to be careful." ”

I nodded, and soon came to the main compound, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the main hall was full of people.

I saw a strange old man talking to the black blind man, and I saw that the old man was tall and bright, and his eyes were bright, but one of his right ears was missing.

As soon as he saw me coming in, his eyes immediately locked on me, and then he quickly withdrew his gaze, got up and said, "Since the owner is in the hospital, there is no point in me staying here, I will go to the hospital to see his old man in person another day." ”

Uncle Wang got up and laughed. "Then we juniors won't send the third master."

The third master waved his hand and walked up to me and smiled, but I felt a chill in my bones.

The third master left with a group of people.

The black blind man scolded and said, "Damn, this ghost old man is really no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, what is it?" ”

Uncle Wang said, "You should be stable, and let the people below see it, not the trap of the third master." ”

"What the hell is going on, what is the third master doing?" I walked over and asked Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang sighed, glanced at me, and then shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Jiang Sheng, you take Bao'er girl back, I will come back to you in the evening to ask about something." ”

I looked confused, but I nodded and said yes.

When I walked out of the door, I was stunned, only to see the third master and a group of people standing at the exit of the alley not far away, I frowned and felt inexplicably bad in my heart.

Ryoko said do you want to go back?

I said what are you going to do, I'm afraid of a bird, this is the old city street, and besides, I still have Sister Bao'er by my side.

Sister Bao'er's strength is obvious to all, if Sister Bao'er really learns my grandfather's methods, a third master is a fart, after all, she is a "blind" in the rivers and lakes.

I walked over, smiled and said Sanye, aren't you still leaving?

The third master is more than 1.8 meters long, his hair is like silver steel needles standing up, and the whole person smiles but has no sound, which is indescribably weird.

"Little doll of the Li family, can we take a step to speak?"

Sister Bao'er grabbed me, and Ryoko shook her head at me.

"Okay, the third master is an elder, and we, who are juniors, should listen to the elders."

I personally left fifty or sixty meters with the third master with an umbrella, and I said that the third master, if you have anything to say, just say it.

He cracked his mouth and laughed, but there was no sound, "Son, do you know why I'm here this time?" ”

Uncle Wang didn't tell me, and I didn't ask much, so I replied casually, "Why?" ”

He squinted his eyes and pulled out a photo from his bosom, which showed a snow-capped mountain, and there was a person in the upper right corner, and my face changed suddenly when I saw it.

That person turned out to be my dad who had disappeared for four years.

I grabbed the third master's hand and said, "Where is my father, third master?" ”

The third master gently grabbed the back of my hand with his backhand and stroked it gently, "In Daxinganling, this time I came here for your father's business, and I know that the owner wants to find your father, so I came to report." ”

I looked at the man in the photo, and I had mixed feelings, why didn't he come back after all these years of not dying?

The third master patted me on the shoulder and said, "I am doing my best to do my best in this matter, and it is also for the sake of the brothers and family members who died back then, and give an explanation, your father is not a way to hide like this, right." ”

I vaguely felt that there was a secret in it, "Why did you die?" ”

"You don't know yet?" The third master was surprised, "Back then, your father went to Daxinganling to get something, and that thing was also my cooperation with the owner, but back then, several of my brothers died in Daxinganling, and your father was gone, and I didn't want to get that thing back, but now I see your dad again, son, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The third master means that my dad embezzled the goods?" I'm not pleased.

"Li De, I believe in his character, I'm afraid that I am afraid that I will be instructed by some people."

He was referring to the proprietor himself.

The third master sighed and looked at the gray lotus pond in front of him, "It's also time, when I came to the Dong family, I said that I was crazy, and now there is no proof of death, and people's hearts are sinister." ”

I was silent and didn't speak, these old foxes are intriguing, I won't talk much, who is right and wrong, who can judge.

"You are Li De's son, and you are also the current head of the Li family, you should take the lead, this matter has nothing to do with your father, if you find him, I hope he can hand over the things, so as not to hurt the harmony, right?"

On the way home, I couldn't calm down for a long time, since the third master found my dad's traces, then my dad is really dead, maybe the third master used a ghost trick to catch my dad.

But at least now it shows that my father is safe, otherwise the third master would not have come to the east to ask for the crime in person.

At night, the gates of the Old Town Street are closed.

Uncle Wang came to me alone.

I asked Sister Bao'er to take Li Yatou upstairs to watch TV by herself, and then said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, if you have anything to say, just ask." ”

Uncle Wang's face was serious, and his right index finger tapped lightly on the table, he was thinking.

"Listen to Liangzi, the third master has already spoken to you alone."

"Third Uncle ......"

The third uncle interrupted me and said, "I don't mean to blame you, after all, this matter is a business and family matter, and you will know it sooner or later." ”

"Third uncle, then what are you going to do?"

The third uncle was a little difficult to choose, he took a sip of water, sighed, and said, "It's difficult, the owner is crazy, and now we don't know what to do, the third uncle means to let us cooperate with them to find your father, this is something in the words, he said that it was ugly, he just asked us to call your father out, don't hide." ”

"The third master thinks that my father was influenced by the owner's will, and the person who killed them back then hid it?"

"Beware of the ears on the wall," Uncle Wang said, glancing at me and asking, "Then what will you do?" ”

"Whether you go or not, the owner will end up with a bad reputation, but it's better to go than to be worse."

Uncle Wang nodded and said with a smile, "What position are you standing on, whether it is your personal position or the owner's position." ”

"Uncle Wang, do you think it's important where I stand now?"

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Why are you so serious, it's just a joke, don't worry, the old city street will not abandon any brother, let alone the heroes of the Li family." ”

I didn't speak, I thought about it and asked, "When are you going?" ”

"The third master is afraid that he is going to see the owner, and he will leave after seeing it."

"Why did he have to go?"

Uncle Wang said, "You kid asked knowingly, he must have gone to see if the owner is crazy, if he is crazy, he will have no scruples about doing things in the future." ”

I smiled, Uncle Wang pointed to my forehead and said, "Your dad is too honest, you stinky boy is a slippery head, you really don't look like your dad at all, but it's not a bad thing to think about every word in the old city street." ”

"Uncle Wang, I also want to go to my dad this time."

"Go ahead," Uncle Wang didn't stop me, he said, "It's been a year since you arrived at the scene, and it's not a good idea to keep you in the old city street." ”

I said thank you, Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang nodded and got up and said that it was late, and then pointed to the coffin in the backyard and said, "The contents of the coffin are good for Bao'er girl, and if you run out, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I nodded and watched Uncle Wang walk out of the store, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked me, "Jiang Sheng, aren't you curious at all, what did your father bring out in Daxinganling back then?" ”

I smiled and said, "Didn't Uncle Wang warn me that living in the old city street, I have to be cautious in my words and deeds?" ”

Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, follow us to see the owner the day after tomorrow, even if he is crazy, he still has to have rules, and he will set off to find your father after eating." ”

The owner has a rule, anyone who goes out to do "business" has to eat and accompany the owner to finish eating, saying that this is a casual meal and a life-saving meal. If a person who goes out dies, it has nothing to do with the owner, and he should not come to the door after he dies.

It's a bit ruthless, but we often talk to dirty things, and we understand it very well.

Seeing Uncle Wang leave, I was about to close the door, when suddenly the moment I turned around, I found that a person had been watching me in the opposite alley.
