Chapter 5: The Old Man at the Back Door
Sun Hao listened quietly and did not say a word. The girl who accompanied him at the beginning has now become an admirable strong woman. Time flies.
"You say, with such a strong back. The willows of the view. Does Cao Feng dare to do things without weighing it! Chen Qiang said with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Sun Hao diverted the topic and said, "Chen Qiang, you are familiar with this place, what should you do next?" ”
The space in the security checkpoint is also very wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate thousands of people, but at this moment, the front is crowded, and you can barely see the gate of the bank.
"Just wait slowly. There are vending machines and toilets at this security checkpoint. You don't need to worry about these basic problems, anyway, as long as you go through the security checkpoint, our biggest problem has been solved. Chen Qiang patted Sun Hao on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's okay, let's wait!" ”
"I'm not worried about this, I don't mean that the account is limited, aren't you worried about the account being claimed?" Sun Hao glanced at him and said.
Chen Qiang disagreed, and laughed: "This won't be!" You look up at the electronic screen above the bank gate......"
The more Chen Qiang's words spoke, the more weak he became, staring at the huge electronic screen in the distance in a daze, his expression full of incredulity.
At the entrance of the bank, there is an electronic screen with two adult heights, which records the information and remaining quantity of the monthly ancient account number, and at this time it says ordinary account number: 3000; Intermediate account: 500; Premium Account: 30.
What Chen Qiang noticed was that there was an extra account on it that he didn't usually have-the best account. There are not many of them, only three. But this is enough to surprise Chen Qiang!
"Abecca Account! How could it be, when did we have a superb account in Qingtai District, this is too undeserved! Chen Qiang muttered to himself, very surprised.
Sun Hao had already noticed the conspicuous electronic screen from the time he came in. Although there are more than 3,000 accounts, according to the statistics of the number of people who usually come here on the 18th of each month to apply for accounts, there are at least 5,000 or more. Obviously, there are more monks and less porridge.
"Nothing surprising! Relying on the power of the Zhao family in Dongshi, coupled with Yang Liu'er's own skills, it is not difficult to win a few top-notch accounts for our Qingtai District at the Ancient Conference. Sun Hao explained to Chen Qiang.
"By the way, when we come in. Didn't Cao Feng say that he would let his deputy team, a person named Zhu Datou, take care of us. Instead of waiting here, let's go and walk through his relationship. Sun Hao remembered this and said to Chen Qiang.
Looking at the bustling long queue in front of him, Sun Hao really didn't have the leisure to wait here leisurely. Looking left and right, suddenly, Sun Hao saw a person walking in their direction in a hurry, saying that he was walking, but because of his obesity, his body shook and shook, which was very funny.
The obese man was dressed in a security uniform, with a fat head and big ears, and a pair of small squinted eyes. Looking at his epaulettes, this person should be Cao Feng's deputy Zhu Datou. It's really worthy of its name.
"Big head!" Chen Qiang shouted happily when he saw someone coming.
"Brother Qiang, it's really you!" Zhu Datou was also very happy to see Chen Qiang, panting in a heavy voice and laughing.
"I heard from the captain that you were coming, so I hurried over. But it can't be helped, there are so many fucking people here today. I squeezed it through! I almost squeezed it into a meatloaf. ”
"Haha, it's better to squeeze. It's long overdue for you to lose weight! Come, let me introduce you. This is my new friend named Sun Hao, and I was able to come in this time thanks to him. ”
Chen Qiang and Zhu Datou are acquainted, the two are college classmates, and their relationship is very good. After graduation, Zhu Datou was introduced as a security guard, after all, in this era of advanced science and technology, the work in the service industry still needs to be employed. Chen Qiang was not willing to succumb to others, but chose to start his own business. So because of the difference in their careers, the two have rarely seen each other since graduation.
"Brother Qiang, I'm really sorry. I couldn't help you in your most difficult times. After Zhu Datou learned about Chen Qiang's experience in the square, he felt a little depressed about his powerlessness. Immediately, his face trembled, and he said indignantly: "The most infuriating thing is Seinfeld, a bastard, if it weren't for the captain to support him, I would have slapped him to death earlier!" ”
"Alright, I'm not fine! There's no need to be angry with that kind of villain. Chen Qiang smiled and patted his chest. Hearing that Zhu Datou could still think about himself, he was very moved.
"Well, thanks to your friend too. I really didn't expect you to know Consultant Yang! But it's very strange, with the relationship with Advisor Yang, you can go to the VIP channel, why bother to come here to suffer this bird's sin. Zhu Datou squinted a pair of small eyes, and his words meant something.
Sun Hao frowned, this Zhu Datou is not as honest as it seems on the surface, it should be pointed out by Cao Feng to set his own words. It's no wonder that he was so kind and sent someone to take care of the three of them, it seems that he was unwilling to let them go like this.
"I met Yang Liuer when she was in college, and we haven't had much contact since graduation. Not as a last resort, and I don't want to bother her. Sun Hao said lightly.
"That's right, he's now the chief advisor to the top. How do we civilians climb up? Belch? Sun Hao, you went to an ancient university! Chen Qiang suddenly thought of something and said in surprise.
"Hmm." Sun Hao nodded disapprerovingly, glanced at Zhu Datou, and squinted: "Does Vice Captain Zhu have any other questions?" ”
Zhu Datou smiled brightly, and said with an unnatural expression: "I just asked casually." Don't care. ”
Zhu Datou secretly shouted badly! The person that the captain specially confessed was actually from the Ancient University, and I had to tell the captain quickly. So he hurriedly said: "It's not early, the account has begun to be distributed, I'll send you to the hall quickly." ”
Chen Qiang nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." ”
There are three entrances to the hall, the first of which is through the main entrance inside the security checkpoint as it is now, and this one is the most crowded and mostly civilian; The second entrance is set up outside the security checkpoint, and the glass passage can be seen through the guardrail, and the entrance of the passage is guarded by a loaded security guard, and it will be released after showing the certificate, under the introduction of Zhu Datou, it is only the top ten online game families in Qingtai District and some people with heads and faces can use the VIP channel, even if it is the insiders of the ancient bank, only a few at the top can enjoy it.
Sun Hao looked at it from a distance, there were not many people in the passage, and he knew that they were all people who were either rich or noble, scattered and completely different from the overcrowded security checkpoint. Suddenly, Sun Hao's eyelids twitched, and a person he had just met entered his eyes, Cao Feng!
Cao Feng seemed to feel it, and turned his head to glance at the security checkpoint. Seeing Zhu Datou and Chen Qiang and others, and at the same time finding Sun Hao, who was looking at him, smiled and waved at him.
Sun Hao smiled and nodded. I secretly figured out in my heart that a small security captain dared to swagger to the VIP entrance, and this Cao Feng should be more than just the identity of the security captain.
"Captain Zhu, what did you Captain Cao do in "Ancient Times"?" Sun Hao asked. "Ancient Times" is known as 100,000 avenues, and everyone can find their own areas of expertise in it. A person like Cao Feng, who has the means and has a wide range of connections, must not be an ordinary person!
"Speaking of our captain, it is also famous in "Ancient" Qingtai City. A demon cultivator in the innate stage, level fifty-six. He was a dart trader, and most of the people on our team were his dart apprentices. Speaking in detail, we have not been less exposed to the light of the captain, in addition to receiving the salary of the security guard, the captain will give us a commission after every dart. Zhu Datou said with reverence.
"Your captain is good." Sun Hao nodded secretly. This Cao Feng is very good at winning people's hearts, and it is no wonder that Zhu Datou is so loyal to Cao Feng. In this era when there is milk is a mother, friendship is worth a few dollars.
The last entrance to the hall is the staff passage, which is also the passage they have to walk. Staff access is located at the back of the bank. A group of people came here from the security checkpoint. There are also a lot of people at the entrance of the employee passage, and some of them rely on relationships like Sun Hao and others; Some people pay to come in, so this employee entrance is often called the back door.
What attracted Sun Hao's attention was not those who walked through the back door, but an old man lying in a rocking chair on the side of the door.
The old man was dressed in a guard uniform, and he looked very old, and he should have been wearing it for a long time. The old man lay on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the people who passed by him relaxed their steps very tacitly.
There was no need to ask, Zhu Datou told them in a low voice: "Today is this old man guarding the door, everyone should be light when they pass by him, don't disturb him." ”
Chen Qiang was puzzled, isn't it just a gate post? Put such a big score. So he asked, "Who is this old man, very powerful?" ”
Zhu Datou shook his head: "I don't know, when I first met him, the captain told me that no matter what he does, don't provoke him." After a few seconds of silence, he continued: "This old man has a very strange temper, and once our captain went to consult him. He didn't even lift his eyes from the beginning to the end, and the brothers around him couldn't stand it, but our captain didn't say anything hard. ”
After Zhu Datou said this, Chen Qiang's eyes changed when he looked at the old man, and even Cao Feng didn't dare to provoke people, how powerful it must be!
The team in front of them approached, and everyone consciously kept quiet. Chen Qiang was very interested in the old man and looked him up and down. The old man was very thin, his yellow-brown skin was dry at the cuffs, and the years had left wrinkles on his old face.
The old man closed his eyes slightly, and the rocking chair shook and shook, and he didn't know if he was asleep. Chen Qiang saw a word on the wall behind the old man, and couldn't help but read it: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things......"
This sticker may be due to the passage of time, and the words below are no longer clear. Chen Qiang also frowned and couldn't read it anymore.
"It's okay, don't talk nonsense, what should you do, what should you do!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes and scolded.
Chen Qiang was startled, took a step back and didn't dare to say anything.
Sun Hao found that the old man's eyes were very cloudy, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes. No wonder the temper is so bad. Sun Hao also swept towards the painting and looked at it for a long time. He had seen this painting, and the first half was taken from a fragment of a chapter in the Tao Te Ching. The most important thing is the second half, which is the essence of this character. I didn't expect to see this character here after many years.
The old man was very keen, and when he saw that Sun Hao was fascinated, he said, "Boy, know?" ”
The old man's tone was very polite, and Sun Hao didn't care about answering him with actions: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." All things return to the Tao, and the Tao is natural. ”
The old man's eyes lit up and he nodded. Sun Hao continued without a pause: "This is a passage left by Mr. Li when he became an immortal in "Ancient Times" six hundred years ago, which is remembered by many people, and it is also the most popular famous saying at that time. ”
Chen Qiang pondered what Sun Hao said, and shook his head in distress: "I can't figure it out, what does this sentence mean?" Why do so many people ponder it? ”
The old man said disdainfully: "If you can figure it out, you can still stand here." This is a treasure left by the old immortal, and it is a great honor for you to know it. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he moved his gaze to Sun Hao. Still in the same tone, he said, "Boy, I still know a lot." Who's from? The surname is Qian or the surname Wang. ”
Zhu Datou was surprised, the old man who has always been ignorant is really coming out of the sun in the west today, and it is rare for him to be able to speak. Thinking that the captain had always wanted to foster a relationship with him, he knew that this opportunity had come.
"Huang Lao, he is a friend of my friend, and he came here today to get the account......"
"Get out of the way, I ask if you're coming!" Huang Lao glared at him and reprimanded.
"I'm not at all, my surname is Sun, and the word is Hao. It is to know some knowledge of ancient history. Sun Hao replied lightly.
"Sun Hao?" Huang Lao chewed on the name, thought about it, and was not impressed. Turning his head and waving his hand at them, he said, "Okay, let's leave if there's nothing to do." Don't get out of the old man's sun. ”
Chen Qiang was slightly disappointed, Ben was still counting on the old man to seek some benefits for them. Seeing him return to that half-dead appearance, there is no play.
Sun Hao guessed Chen Qiang's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. Then follow Zhu Datou's footsteps and walk into the hall together.
Soon after Sun Hao left, only the old man was left alone at the entrance of the employee passage.
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and at the entrance of this quiet employee passage came an unlikely person.
The person who came held the rocking chair steady, stretched out her slender jade hand and gently rubbed the shoulders of the old man, she knew that the old man's health had not been very good, so he often lay on the rocking chair.
"I'm back." The old man knew who was coming, and said softly. Compared with the tone of Sun Hao and the others just now, it is like two people.
"Hmm." The visitor whispered back. The voice was sad, as if there was an inexhaustible sorrow.
"I've wronged you." The old man sighed.
The man stopped what he was doing, and the tears that had been suppressed in the deepest part of his heart finally couldn't bear it anymore, and quietly cracked a crack, cutting across his snow-white cheeks and falling on the cold marble.
She can only reveal the sadness in her heart in front of this old man. If Sun Hao hadn't left, he would have recognized this person.
Yang Liuer.
