Late at night.

The taxi stopped at an ordinary hotel on the outskirts.

I handed the fare to the driver, took the book, and got out of the car.

Before I could react, the driver stepped on the accelerator and turned straight to the road at the speed of a Formula 1 car, which I thought must have nothing to do with the dozen or so fierce-looking middle-aged men standing in the wilderness.

"Hai Gongzi, please, the Buddha is drinking tea on it." A strong man in a shirt walked over and nodded respectfully to me: "Rules, forgive me." ”

"It's fine." I said, then spread my hands out and let the man search me.

I guess he was afraid that I would take a gun and crash Lafayette, after all, Lafayette has seen a lot of this kind of thing.

Although Lafayette has never had an accident, if one day he "slipped his foot and fell into the ditch", I am afraid that this group of people will not have time to regret it.

"Please." The middle-aged man got out of the way.

Go upstairs, enter the room, sit down, drink tea, and do it all in one go.

The room was quiet, and no one else dared to come in except me and Lafayette.

"Xiaohai, what is the matter with your grandfather, let's talk about it." It seems that Galeries Lafayette's mask has never been taken off, and I used to wonder what the Lafayette mask looks like, but after thinking about it, it seems that it has nothing to do with me what he looks like, and then I never think about it again.

"Lafayette, I heard that you have recently had a conflict with a young man." I put the teacup on the table.

Lafayette was quiet for a while, nodded with a hoarse smile: "Xiaohai, how did you know about Lu Dao?" ”

"He's my friend." I say.

Galeries Lafayette was quieter, and then threw the teacup on the ground, and the tea instantly splashed on my pants, which was quite hot.

"The second master of the Hai family is kind to me, but" Lafayette's temper doesn't seem to be very good today, he stood up, slowly walked to me and looked at me: "Xiaohai, there are some things you shouldn't interfere with or don't interfere." ”

I yawned, reached out and took out the folded book in my pocket and handed it to Lafayette: "What you want." ”

Lafayette silently took the book, glanced at it, and did not speak.

"Leave it as it is, this thing will be yours from now on." I picked up my cup and took a sip of tea.

In the 80s, as long as the antiques that came out of Tianjin Wei were fake, nine times out of ten they were from the Hai family.

If Lafayette really saw the flaws in the book today, then I would really be ashamed of my ancestors.

"That's right." Lafayette put the book to his nose and sniffed it: "How do you know that I want this thing?" ”

"My friend said that it was an old man in a mask who had a conflict with him today, and I thought of you at that time." I looked at Lafayette without changing my face: "He said that you want a soul named Luo Dahai, I found someone to inquire and knew that you came to Guiyang to have a conflict with that person, antique market, where I have many acquaintances, just think about it and you can understand what you are looking for that soul." ”

Lafayette put the book on the table with a smile, his eyes were very cold, and he said with a smile: "Your friend is quite capable, when did he hand it in?" ”

"Before." I said perfunctorily, patted my pants and stood up: "Lafayette, you don't have to worry that I will reveal this masterpiece, the current Hai family has no intention of going to the tomb." ”

I thought for a moment and added, "No, there's another one who goes down to the grave." ”

"You don't have that yet." Lafayette nodded and waved his hand at me: "This matter has been revealed in front of your family, but I will say it in front, if your old man interferes in this tomb."

"He won't go to the grave anymore, don't worry."

After saying that, I went out without looking back.

As I walked down the road, I tightened my clothes and beckoned to a taxi.

While sitting by the window, I was also looking at this strange city, a very quiet city.

"It's not bad to settle in a city like this with a lot of trees." I said to myself as if I was looking out the window, and gradually fell silent, and my mind began to stir again, and my mind was full of troublesome memories.

April 30, 1993.

"There are 60 out of 300 feather insects, the most handsome Hai Dongqing, the sex is golden and the spirit contains fire virtue, and the different materials are released on the Yaoguang star." I smiled and sat next to my grandfather with a family photo, looked at the poem written on the photo, looked up and asked him, "Grandpa, what does this poem mean?" ”

"When you grow up, you will understand, your parents want you to be a talent." My grandfather smiled kindly, raised his hand and gently stroked my head, his eyes blurred, but there was a dazed one.

October 3rd, 1997.

"Grandpa, why haven't my parents come back yet? What about the second grandfather? "I was overwhelmed to help my grandfather bandage his wounds, and in the empty yard there was only a dog that had been raised since childhood barking, and the rest of the people

"People go to tea and cool it." My grandfather smiled miserably, then his face changed, he pretended to have a relaxed expression, and patted me lightly: "Xiaohai is obedient, your parents and second grandfather have gone abroad, they are very busy, and they will come back when they have time in the future." ”

March 23, 1999.

"Grandpa, my parents, and the second grandfather, did they die in the grave with you?" I remembered the incessant rumors outside, and my head ached inexplicably.

The cold eyes of outsiders, the ridicule of insiders

"Xiaohai" My grandfather sighed and didn't speak again.

July 1, 2000.

I was holding the object I had just picked up from the tomb, and I was about to find an acquaintance at the antique market to make a move, but I didn't expect someone to stop me halfway, and it was very unceremonious.

"Little crumb, you can get your hands on this thing?" Several middle-aged men in casual clothes walked over, their eyes constantly scanning the wooden box in my hand, and I could make out the words written in their eyes.

Covet.

I didn't speak, put the wooden box on the ground, clenched my fists and rushed forward, and.

"Knock.".

After a few minutes, I wiped the blood from my hands and carried the wooden box around the people lying on the ground.

Do the people the old man said go to tea and cool?

I can't tell, I'm indifferent.

July 3, 2000.

In the living room, there was an inexplicable old man who was wearing a rabbit mask, which was very strange.

"Brother Hai, these beasts who don't know whether to live or die robbed your grandson, really" The old man in the rabbit mask shook his head and waved his hand, and the man standing behind him stepped forward and put the five in the black cloth bag. Lianfa took it out.

The men who tried to rob me were all bound to the ground, as motionless as the dead, and if it weren't for the constant whining sound from their mouths, I am afraid I would have thought them dead.

Of course, with the next few gunshots in the living room, those people were indeed dead.

"Brother Hai, come to me in trouble in the future, that matter" The old man in the rabbit mask stood up, his tone full of apologies.

My grandfather didn't speak, picked up the teacup, and splashed him with tea.

"Get out."

After that day, the Hai family seemed to have returned to its former state, and people often came to see their grandfather.

But grandpa has never met them, and often hears him chant: "People walk tea cool, people walk tea cool." ”

Year 2004.

I can't remember the exact month, but I remember that it was quite hot.

Grandpa was going to travel abroad, saying that he wanted to relax, so I took him to the airport and waited for him to board the plane.

Three hours later, I was alone on the train to Xianyang, Shaanxi.

My family has a lot of money, but I think it's comfortable to use the money I earn.

When I arrived at the train station, I met a stupid person after leaving the station, as if he thought I was his friend, but when I approached him, I realized that I had recognized the wrong person, this person was really stupid, and I didn't care.

I got into the taxi, arrived at my destination, and when I got out of the car, I noticed something that made me wonder a lot.

"The thief's skill is getting higher and higher." I sighed, looked at the driver helplessly, and ran without hesitation when I got out of the car with my luggage, and the speed without looking back was really fast.

I'll pay it back when I have money in the future, huh.

In 2004, one month, forgive me for not remembering the days.

A few days after taking the free taxi, I passed by a fortune-telling parlor with a sign outside the gate that said "Recruit Guys to Eat and Stay", so I hesitated and walked in.

The bank card is gone, my grandfather can't be contacted, and I don't want to borrow money from outsiders.

Sixth Sense told me that it was a good idea to stay in this shop and be a buddy.

My sixth sense has always been very smart, except for the last time and the last time, when did I go wrong?

"Hello, come and apply for the buddy, right?" The boss's smile was very honest, and his chubby face was unusually happy: "Hungry Club (said), why do you have a smell of earth?" ”

"I fell." I replied.

"Including food and housing, the probation period is seven hundred per month, is it successful?" The boss asked me, and I nodded and said, "Done."

April 24, 2005.

"Fat uncle, it's time to eat." I took the takeaway I bought from the next street, sat at the counter familiarly, helped the fat uncle tidy up the table, and then didn't wait for him to come, and buried my head in a state of silence.

"You melon peel! Just know how to eat! I don't know how to let the boss eat this iron law first! The fat uncle scolded with a smile.

Fat Uncle is my boss, well, I've been here for a year.

Grandpa didn't care that I didn't go back much, saying that he was clean when I left, and he could still have time to travel around, which was good.

"It's been a year." I said to myself.

The salary is not low and stable, the fat uncle is very good, sometimes when I see the fat uncle, I will inexplicably think of the parents who are about to forget the appearance, grandpa is always not at home, here is warmer than home, it is not bad to work here, after all, the road of tomb robbery is getting darker and darker, and I don't know when I will die like my parents

"Eat some meat, your melon skin is too thin, you want to be as burly as your uncle is hungry, do you know the way." The fat uncle said, and put a piece of fat meat in my bowl, which means that it is self-evident: "I will not get fat alone." ”

In 2006, it was my birthday.

Grandpa called me and wished me a happy birthday.

Uncle Fat asked me why I didn't go out with my friends to celebrate.

I said, I have no friends.

Since I was a child, I hardly had any peers playing with me, because I was caught by my grandfather and second grandfather for "exercise" most of the time, and I only had a handful of time to play.

Evening.

"Happy birthday, melon skin." Fat Uncle Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a cake that said "Happy Birthday to you Guppi Melon", walked up to me and put it down, and then lit the candle.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you"

Listening to Uncle Fat's birthday song with Shaanxi flavor, I smiled, but my eyes were inexplicably moist.

2007, beginning of the year.

"The hungry are going to move, to a place where the hungry relatives are." The fat uncle smiled, looked at the chaotic fortune-telling parlor with reluctance, and rubbed his eyes: "Melon skin, do you want to be hungry?" ”

I nodded, without hesitation.

"Okay."

July 2007.

Uncle Fat said he wanted to introduce me to a friend, a friend of the same age.

"Hungry to your club (said), that melon peel and hungry four (is) old acquaintances, just like my son." The fat uncle didn't notice his speech problem, and said naturally.

I frowned: "Friend?" ”

At this moment, my mind is full of the scene when people took tea and cool, and the ridicule on the faces of those people in Tianjin Wei

I was still thinking about it, but Uncle Fat knocked on the door.

In a few moments, a young man about my age opened the door.

A very delicate person, just like a top student in school, but after a long time, I realized that this person belongs to a combination of "iron rooster + indiscriminate good guy + knife mouth tofu heart + stupid".

All in all, he felt the same as Uncle Fat gave me, very warm.

"Fat Uncle" The young man didn't seem to notice me, his eyes were all on the fat uncle, and his eyes were red.

In 2007, the same day and the same night.

His name is Yi Lin.

He must have been in big trouble.

He and Uncle Fat are like father and son (after a long time, he said that it is absolutely impossible to be like father and son with Uncle Fat, because as soon as he looks at Uncle Fat's size and appearance, he knows that he is not Uncle Fat's "son". ）

Uncle Fat is not just my boss to me.

The fat uncle is very good.

Well, give him a hand.

In the hall, the fat uncle told me about the shame I had at the beginning, and Yi Lin laughed so hard that he couldn't afford it.

2007, the next day.

It's not early.

I'm hungry, and my wallet is at Uncle Fat's.

I haven't eaten much since noon yesterday.

Because I found out that I would get motion sickness when I took the train, and I would vomit when I ate it.

I wanted to endure it, but it was eight o'clock, and I was able to wake people up

"Uncle Fat is angry to get up, don't call him." I thought so, and then woke Yi Lin up.

Half an hour later.

I ate noodles, and his noodle cooking skills are still good, at least better than Uncle Fat's.

"Can I call you Birdman?" He asked with a smile.

I didn't care and said, "You can call it whatever you like." ”

A nickname is just a nickname, it doesn't matter, Uncle Fat often calls me melon peel in the store.

In 2007, a little later.

He should be a warlock, like the second grandfather, he knows some inexplicable spells, and he also has a heart with three words written on it.

Wang Xue's woman looked very pitiful.

"He's not like those people." I looked at the wood that was slumped on the ground, and muttered in my heart: "He is a good person, just like the second grandfather, he smiles very cleanly." ”

Help him, although Lafayette and I don't have a good relationship.

The car stopped, and my memories involuntarily stopped.

There was a knock on the door.

Then, the wood opened the door for me, and the fat uncle also came out.

"That's it, I'm hungry."
