Chapter 12: Old Black's Whip
Only halfway through the words, the phone rang, I took out my mobile phone in a drunken daze, saw that it was Lao Hei calling, and clicked to answer: "Second brother, where are you, I'm in Huanxi Building." ”
I said, "Upstairs, come quickly." ”
Lao Hei hung up the phone, and after a while, he pushed the door and came in.
The creature was holding two black iron rods in his hands, and his eyes seemed to have been shot at him, his face was blue, and the front leg of his pants was rotten, as if he was picking up rags.
Dandan didn't know Lao Hei, and Wu Wu chirped: "Where did the thief come from, get out quickly." ”
The old black glanced at him, waved at me, and motioned for me to go out.
Seeing Lao Hei, I forced myself to sober up a bit, regained some normal feeling, said to Dandan, I went out to pee, and followed Lao Hei out of the private room.
Lao Hei looked at me with the black iron rod in his arms and said, "Brother, I'm working hard, you're good, happy and happy here, I'm dying of hunger, and I'm being chased and beaten for two miles." ”
I suppressed the look on my face that wanted to laugh and said, "No, I met a few friends and had a drink together, how about it, did you get something?" ”
Lao Hei looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one in the corridor, so he mysteriously showed me the two black sticks in his hand: "Oh, the old man is domineering." ”
"Lao Hei, what are these two of you, I'll let you steal the sword, what are you doing with two iron rods." I rubbed my hazy eyes and looked carefully: "I'll go, didn't you steal the whip in the temple?" ”
Lao Hei straightened his clothes and raised his head proudly with me, feeling like a great hero who had achieved fame, but the bruises on his face and the dark circles under his eyes didn't look like a serious person.
I suddenly remembered that Jiang Ziya was a god back then, and Huang Feihu was sealed in Dongyue, and he was appointed as the Emperor of Tianqi Rensheng in Dongyue Taishan, and the Taoist Temple of Tianqi Palace was built to commemorate Huang Feihu, and the weapons used by Huang Feihu were two golden maces, known as the whip.
Now what Lao Hei is holding in his arms is the whip in his hand held by the statue of Huang Feihu of the Taoist Temple of Tianqi Palace.
Lao Hei saw that I didn't speak, and raised his head again: "It's been worshiped for more than 400 years." ”
I suddenly woke up: "Lao Hei, you are too big to play, four hundred years!" I'll let you buy it, you're stealing cultural relics. ”
Lao Heile said: "It's okay, it's okay, they beat me like this, I said I wanted to call the police, these little Taoist priests were scared by me, so I took advantage of the situation and said that I borrowed it for two days, and I would return it to them in two days, and they agreed." ”
I gave a thumbs up and said, "Your old man is amazing, I took it, this place is not suitable, otherwise I will kowtow to you." ”
Lao Hei said: "Kowtow is exempt, I haven't eaten yet." ”
I hugged Lao Hei into the private room, Dan Dan took the crab cover to make a hat for Lao Fei, I didn't pay attention to him, there was no me and Lao Hei in his drunken world, the most intuitive thing in the drunk world is himself, there is no one else.
I wanted Lao Hei to eat some leftovers or something, sixteen dishes and two pots of soup, but it turned out that the plate was cleaner than licking.
I had no choice but to call the waiter, Lao Hei asked for a big bowl of noodles, and I told him to deal with it first to fill his stomach, and then talk about what happened to the construction site.
Lao Hei held his face, like a starving ghost reincarnated, looking at his dark eyes, I began to wonder if I was on the wrong path.
After eating and settling the bill, our group went out.
Lao Hei's car because it overturned last night, how can it not be ignited when leaving, can only be thrown at the door of the hotel to be pulled out for maintenance the next day, when Lao Hei left, he reluctantly looked at his car, like a parting lover.
My cousin drove us back to the construction site in a newly bought SUV.
My cousin An Shangwu once served in the field army, and he won the first place many times in the whole regiment competition, so he can be said to be a special soldier among special forces.
But this kid was young and frivolous and couldn't stand the constraints of the troops, and he chose to retire after the third non-commissioned officer, and the company commander couldn't talk to him one by one, there was really no way, the division commander personally went down to the company to persuade him to stay in the army, but this guy couldn't live or die, and he didn't do it to a deputy company commander, he just wanted to go home.
At the beginning of the most difficult time, he and 13 comrades-in-arms suppressed bandits in Tibet, hid in the vast snow-capped mountains for more than three months, killed dozens of local wandering Indian and Nepalese drug dealers, and later transferred to the Xinjiang Corps to carry out a mission in Lop Nur, nesting in the desert for more than half a year, and could not contact his family, the family thought he was dead, and later said that he was carrying out a secret mission that could not be disclosed.
An Shangwu always drank too much, always liked to brag that he beat six thugs by himself, and finally cut his neck with a knife and bleed, we all laughed and said that he was bragging, but from his eyes, I could read a kind of loneliness and sadness, no one knew what happened to him in those years.
An Shangwu didn't drink less today, but he drove much more steadily than Lao Hei.
On the way, he teased Lao Hei twice, and was teased by Lao Hei until he had nothing to say, An Shangwu had just come back, of course, he couldn't say Lao Hei, and finally he was choked by Lao Hei and snorted, saying that he wanted a real PK when he parked, and Lao Hei closed his mouth stupidly.
The two of them were silent for a while, and I was afraid that there would be an impasse, so I wanted to find a topic to talk about: "Cousin, do you have any other plans to come back now?" ”
An Shangwu said: "I haven't thought about it yet, I want to do some business or something, the army has stayed for too long, and I will relax for a while when I come back." ”
I said, "Well, I'm not too young, find someone to talk to and relax." ”
An Shangwu paused for a while, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say: "I don't want to talk about it for the time being." ”
Lao Hei interjected: "Are you stupid in the army, do you like men?" ”
An Shangwu pursed his lips: "If you chirp crookedly, I will stop the car immediately and let your chrysanthemum be full of injuries." ”
Lao Hei crooked his mouth and snorted a few times, probably to measure whether he could do it, and finally gave up, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
I laughed, "You two are amazing." ”
An Shangwu also smiled: "Haha, I'll beat ten buns one by one for this kind of cowardice." ”
I glanced at the old black, and the old black closed his eyes, and he didn't hear it.
"Why don't you go to the construction site with us, you have nothing to do anyway." I actually have two meanings in this sentence, if he agrees, he will call him when he robs the tomb tomorrow, after all, one more person is also one more strength, and besides, my cousin has just returned to society, and he doesn't know much about the world, even if he doesn't follow us to rob the tomb, he will see the world on the construction site and learn some language arts, so as not to enter the society in the future.
"Forget it, I'm going to be the boss in the future, and the last thing I can't stand now is being called around."
"Even if you want to be a boss, you must have social experience, otherwise you will always suffer when you go to society." I say.
An Shangwu waved his fist: "What is this for, who picks on me and knocks me down." ”
Lao Hei seemed to be unable to hold it back, and snorted: "Reckless! Reckless! ”
An Shangwu continued: "Reckless? That's not like some people, they can't be reckless if they want to, oh, second brother, I didn't mean you, you eat with your brain. ”
I laughed: "Whether it's a fist or a brain, the ultimate goal is to get along in this society, and only by being based in society can we live well." Don't be discouraged, old black, at least you can beat me. ”
Old Black snorted twice, pretending not to hear.
An Shangwu said: "Second brother, I want to travel to Dunhuang, Gansu next month, do you want to go together?" ”
"Dunhuang? Let's see, when the time comes, we'll go together, it just so happens that I haven't been out for a long time, who are you with? ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, I guess I'll bring the balls, and the old fat has to look at the store at home and don't have time, let's drive and travel by car."
Lao Hei suddenly became interested: "Hey, I said, do you rich second generations who have nothing to do when they are full of food and have nothing to do, just run around the world blindly in a little time?" I really look down on you, if you don't do anything serious all day long, you know that you can enjoy life by playing in the mountains and rivers, do you know the meaning of life? Do you know that the prosperity of the motherland requires you to increase the bricks and tiles? Alas, I just want to say three words to you scumbag parasites: when to go, please take me! ”
An Shangwu said, "Damn, you are really educated, three words, you count a few words." ”
Lao Hei said: "You call it a few words, I just express what I mean, take me, you must bring me." ”
An Shangwu smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you go at that time, I will definitely take you, otherwise it will be lonely on the road." ”
"Okay, that's almost it, I guess I won't be able to work on the construction site for a few days, and there should be time then."
I glanced at the old black, who was squinting at me, and we were smiling at each other, full of copper stench, but I liked it.
I'm not going to tell An Shangwu about the tomb robbery for the time being, I'm afraid that he has just returned from the army and won't be able to change his righteousness.
And this tomb was discovered by Lao Hei first, and if he said it, he was afraid that Lao Hei would have an opinion, and a bowl of water would be uneven, so this brother would have nothing to do.
Back in the tent at the construction site, Lao Hei went to fetch water and prepare to wash. I stood alone at the mouth of the tent, looking at the cemetery not far away, the night was deep, occasionally the crickets squeaked a few times, the breeze blew across my face, I just felt that what I had done in the past few days was too unreal.
I always felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a pair of hands leading me to do it.
I still have a taboo about robbing tombs in my heart, after all, this kind of thing is too damaging to yin morality, and I can't convince myself to be reasonable.
But I don't know where the courage came from, let me walk step by step into the abyss. The rows of old tombstones have witnessed the changes of many years, and how many people under the monuments have appeared on the stage of history as vividly as me.
Now, would they have thought that the two juniors would have to open their graves, just because those things outside the body that were full of copper stench were really innocent and guilty.
The next morning, Lao Hei and I got up early, and today is our last day of work.
In our vision, after today, the two worlds will be born, and the picture of how many years of fantasy is about to become real, think about it, there are really a lot of small excitement!
