Chapter Eighty-Four: Bribery
Listening to the woman's words, I stared at her back, a very ordinary back, which could be seen in any village.
However, her words made me completely confused.
Some time ago at the train station, Lin Fan asked me to write three numbers, and asked me to be careful about the person surnamed Xie.
And the woman just glanced at me and said the same thing.
This... This... What is this woman's identity?
Why would you be willing to stay in the country?
Gradually, the woman's back was completely swallowed up by the night, leaving me and Zi Yangtao to look at each other.
After a full minute, I came back to my senses, looked at the flashlight and umbrella in my hand, and felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour.
"Brother Chuanzi, what does that woman mean by telling you to be careful about the person surnamed Xie?" That Zi Yangtao suddenly pulled me and said suspiciously.
I replied that it was nothing, and looked in the direction the woman had left.
"Are you alright?" Zi Yangtao asked again.
I stopped, said again, and tightened the umbrella and flashlight in my hand.
"By the way, Brother Chuanzi, did you say that the woman was sick, what kind of umbrella did she send us this big night, look at this night, how can it rain at all." That Zi Yangtao took the umbrella from my hand and said suspiciously.
I was about to speak, when the night was still bright and moonlit, suddenly a loud thunder sounded, and then the bright moon was gradually swallowed up, and in an instant, a downpour fell from the sky, as if the sky had fallen, and the sky was overwhelming.
In the rainstorm, the two of us held umbrellas, neither of us spoke, staring straight in the direction the woman had left.
After about three minutes, I slowly turned around and walked forward, with Zi Yangtao following beside me.
Walking, walking, that Zi Yangtao seemed to think of something, and asked me, "Brother Chuanzi, do you think that woman is too godly?" ”
I knew what he meant, he was referring to the woman who gave us an umbrella.
To be honest, before the rainstorm, I wondered how the woman could give an umbrella for no apparent reason.
It wasn't until the rainstorm that I understood what the woman meant, and she was probably not just giving us umbrellas, but also hinting at me not to beat his son.
Of course, I didn't say this to Zi Yangtao, but walked forward with my head bored.
In the rainstorm, the two of us kept walking along the road towards Dongxing Town, and Zi Yangtao kept muttering two identical words on the side, which roughly were:
I'll rub it, that woman is too godly!
I'll go, that kid really looks so much like you.
In his muttering, the two of us walked for two hours before we arrived in Dongxing Town, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or what happened, just the moment we arrived at Dongxing Town, it was still a rainstorm, but it suddenly stopped, and the bright moon in the sky appeared again.
According to my idea, I went to Dongxing Town to find a hotel to live in.
However, Zi Yangtao said that Dongxing Town has always been xenophobic, and there must be no hotels in this town, so he proposed to find a random family and give some money to live.
As soon as I thought that this guy had a point, I looked around and saw that there was a shop not far from us with the lights on, and a truck parked in front of the shop, presumably unloading.
The two of us immediately walked over.
Before I got to the side, I was immediately stunned, the reason is that I found that the truck was not the goods, but the people, and the most important thing is that the people on it, I actually knew, were all some shops and handicraftsmen in our Nanping Town, and even the master Fan of the paper shop was among them.
Hell, in the middle of the night, what are they doing in Dongxing Town?
That Zi Yangtao seemed to have discovered this situation, and immediately pulled me, pointed over there, and said angrily: "I'll wipe it, these old things don't stay in Nanping Town, why are they all coming to Dongxing Town?" ”
I glared at him and motioned for him not to speak, but I looked stunned, rolled my eyes, and walked forward.
When I walked to the store, I found that this shop was a tombstone shop, this shop is not very big, about 30 square meters, the store is some uncarved flat monuments, the owner is an old man in his sixties, with a childish face.
When he saw me, the boss was slightly stunned at first, then looked at me for a while, and slowly said, "Young man, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”
I replied with a smile, came over to take a look, and turned my head to look at Master Fan, a paper maker next to him.
When Master Fan saw me looking at him, he smiled and didn't speak.
At that moment, I walked towards Master Fan and said with a smile: "Master Fan, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”
He smiled and said lightly: "Didn't you do it, it's just a string." ”
I was stunned, knocking on the door?
Coming to the door in a truck in the middle of the night?
What about liars!
I endured the doubts in my heart and talked to Master Fan about a few homely things.
During this period, I had a few words with some other bosses and craftsmen in Dongxing Town, all of which were inconsequential words.
After about three or four minutes, I told them about asking for help.
The first to speak was Master Fan, who said, "Dongchuan, I'm sorry, someone promised us a thousand yuan per person, and I really can't help you." By the way, you also want to find all kinds of people when you come to Dongxing Town, my advice to you is, don't look for it, in the six towns around Nanping Town, all the people who are engaged in all kinds of people have given a thousand yuan, and absolutely no one will help you. ”
Hearing this, I almost jumped up, and someone actually grabbed ahead of us and bought these things.
This made me exclaim and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
Master Fan frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, we didn't see anyone, we just received a note and a thousand yuan, and there was only a simple sentence on the note." ”
"What?" I hurriedly asked.
He looked at me and said word by word, "A thousand buy righteousness or buy life." ”
As soon as I heard this, I didn't wait for me to speak, and Master Fan said again, "Dongchuan, for the sake of a town, I'll send a word, you had better not interfere in the matter of the mausoleum." ”
"Why?" I subconsciously asked.
He smiled and said, "That's the eighth family affair, you go in as an outsider, and there are only two results, either dead or half-dead, and there is absolutely no other result." ”
With that, he walked straight into the tombstone shop, and then the others followed suit.
When they entered the store, the owner of the tombstone shop came over, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young man, this world is very big, and people's hearts are bigger than the world, don't do thankless things." ”
With that, he turned around and walked into the store, slowly closing the door.
