Chapter 37 Old Man Liu
"Okay." Xiang Feng said.
Both of them are happy people, and they just leave. Yuxin and Chenxing had just gotten up, were washing up in the yard, and said hello, and Xiang Feng and I started the car and set off. After breakfast at a restaurant in this county, we left the county.
It had just rained the night before, and the road looked very clean, with trees on both sides swaying their branches in the morning breeze, and the leaves were shining.
"Ah Feng."
"Huh?"
"You Sichuan," I muttered, "how many people know how to do magic?" ”
"Not much, there are a few fortune tellers, but most of them are liars."
"Hmm..."
"What's wrong?" Xiang Feng looked at me.
"It's okay, I'm just asking... I'm just thinking, since that mage is in the same group as Wan Jinshan, where did he learn his magic..."
"You mean, if he didn't learn it from Wan Jinshan, he brought it from his hometown, right?"
I'm noncommittal.
Xiang Feng shifted his gaze to the front of the road, "I made a mistake last night. ”
"Oh?"
"I shouldn't have broken up that mage."
"Why?" I asked.
"I should let him get on me, in this case, maybe we can find out a lot of inside information, for example, whether the death of the boss of the brick factory Wang was caused by evil or related to him. Also, he obviously wants to regenerate with the help of Li Juanjuan, but why did Li Juanjuan die suddenly, otherwise, he wouldn't have become a ghost fetus... I should have let him me. ”
"Then you're really crazy, I'm here, and you'll never be allowed to do that!" I said.
Xiang Feng smiled faintly.
"That old man Liu, the reason why he moved..."I muttered, "is because the dead ghost mage is attached to him, so the one who ran to Old Man Liu's house the night before was actually the mage, I feel as if he was looking for something, could it be that the financing contract?" …”
As I spoke, I shook my head, feeling unlikely, because I couldn't think of any use for the mage.
"Ah Feng, what do you think? … Ah Feng? ”
I screamed twice in a row, but there was no response, and when I looked sideways, I saw that Xiang Feng had fallen asleep against the passenger seat.
I smiled and raised the window so that the morning breeze would not blow him cold. Then, I slowed down, and anyway, things were not in a hurry, and I walked a little slower, so that Xiangfeng could sleep a little longer.
After walking for more than two hours, I came to the family home where Old Man Liu lived. As soon as the car stopped, Xiang Feng woke up.
"Where is this?"
"The place where Old Man Liu lives, go, get out of the car."
There is no one to watch the gate in this family courtyard, and there is not even a car under the parking shed, and the yard is empty. I don't have the contact information of Old Man Liu's children, so I came here and planned to inquire about the other residents in this family home. However, running upstairs and downstairs, except for those empty houses where no one lives, the rest of the households, including the house where Old Man Liu lived before his death, are all locked doors, and it seems that the residents here should have gone to work.
"Let's go to the funeral home and go to the registration office to check the contact information of Old Man Liu's children." Xiang Feng said.
"Nope." I thought about it for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry to deal with Old Man Liu's corpse. We stayed in this family courtyard and waited for the people here to come back to see if we could ask about the old man Liu's winning the lottery and some inside information about his relationship with his children. ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiang Feng said.
Back in the car, Xiang Feng leaned back on the seat and went to sleep, I opened the window, put my arm on the window, smoked a cigarette, smoked two cigarettes, fiddled with the phone for a while, my eyelids began to fight, I simply put the phone and fell asleep. Falling asleep, I was woken up by Xiang Feng.
"Ah Leng, someone is coming..."
I wiped my saliva, took out my phone and looked at it, it was almost twelve o'clock. Looking outside, I saw a bald man, about fifty years old, holding two fat carps in his left hand and a bottle of liquor in his right hand. Seeing that we were looking at him, the man was stunned and slowed down.
I hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him, "Uncle." ”
"Huh?"
The man shrank back a little, looked at me warily, and flicked his tail a few times with the fish in his hand.
"Do you live in this family home?" I pointed.
"Hmm... Bite? ”
"Ask you about someone, come, I'll help you carry it..."
The man threw the fish behind him, "No, no, who are you going to ask?" ”
"Some time ago, there was an uncle surnamed Liu in this family courtyard, who died suddenly in the scenic area, do you know?"
"Oh, you ask him, he's the best guy in our yard!"
"Oh?"
"He..."
It didn't take me any time to talk about it, but the man went on and on. When it came to the excitement, the hands also moved, and the two fish jumped left and right. This person told me that the old man Liu has lived in this family home for decades, and he gets along with everyone very harmoniously, and is very helpful. It's a pity that good people don't die. Old man Liu and his family gave birth to a group of children, and not long after giving birth to the last little son, Old man Liu's wife died. Old man Liu and a group of children lived in the tube building, both as a father and a mother, with hard work to bring them up, to support them to study, and then they all became families. But due to the lack of family education, none of those children are filial. The old man was sick and couldn't get up from bed, this pushed that, that pushed this, no one came to take care of him, all the neighbors helped take care of him... I don't know if God opened his eyes, the year before last, Old Man Liu suddenly won the jackpot. At that time, it was quite a sensation, it was in the newspaper, and everyone listened to the share of the bonus.
The people in the family home thought that Old Man Liu would definitely buy a good house and move over, but he didn't and still lived in this family home. The old man said that he was too old to enjoy that kind of blessing, and besides, he could not live anywhere but here. Won the jackpot and made a fortune Old man Liu, who looks no different from before, except for spending a high price to install an anti-theft door in his residence, he has not added anything else, occasionally buying a piece of clothing, which is also a bargain bought in the market, and the cheapest mobile phone is also used. There are those who laugh at him, and there are those who respect him, who laugh at him, who feels that he is too stupid, who respects him, and who feels that he does not forget his roots. When he got to the back, even those who laughed at him respected him. Because, Old Man Liu is frugal to himself, but he is very generous to the people in the family home, who has a difficulty or something, tens of thousands of dollars are borrowed out, and he doesn't even play a single one. If you do this job, you really can't be admired and disrespected.
After Old Man Liu won the prize, his children changed, coming over two times in three days, opening their mouths and closing their mouths, shouting for warmth, and shouting from their fathers and fathers. Even the dogs who often come to the family yard to wander around know that they are nothing more than coming to scrape Old Man Liu's money. Old man Liu did give them a part of the money, but outsiders don't know how much. Anyway, since the money was divided, his sons and daughters have become awesome one by one. Especially his youngest son, who was originally a railway worker, fished for three days and dried nets for two days, was fired by the department, and after losing his job, he drank and played cards and slept every day, and relied on his wife married in the countryside to work as a nanny for others, and worked as a part-time worker... After getting the money from Old Man Liu, the youngest son immediately kicked off his wretched wife and married a junior who had been raised by a large amount of money as his wife.
"The little son you are talking about, is it the one who is white and fat and has small eyes?" I asked.
"yes, it's him..."
I thought to myself, that fat man Liu is not a good thing at first glance.
"Then uncle, let's talk about it."
Then, just like that, his sons and daughters bought private cars, some opened Internet cafes, and some started shops. The native chicken suddenly became a phoenix. No matter how busy they were, they would come to the old man. In addition to them, some of the bosses also come over every now and then to find a joint venture with the old man, persuade the old man to join the shares, or something..."
"Some?" I frowned.
"yes, quite a lot, big carts and small carts running here. Old man Liu complained to his neighbors, saying that when he had no money, although his life was tight, he did not worry about eating and drinking, and he was free. Now that I have money, I have to be careful when I go out, every day I look for this and that, I can really tire people to death, and sometimes I really want to donate all the money. The neighbor persuaded him, saying that you might as well negotiate with a reliable master, and invest the money in him, and after you vote it, no one will come to you..."
"And then?" I was a little excited because I finally got to the point.
"Then, the old man came to a factory with a boss, and the boss negotiated to invest the money in him..."
"Brick kiln factory?"
"No, it's not a brick kiln factory, the brick kiln factory is the back."
"Back?" I was stunned.
"Uh-huh... At the beginning, I signed a contract with the old man, and a few days later, I got on and off the highway to pee and was hit by a car and died. The old man's money hasn't been touched yet, and the contract is invalid. So, after the boss died, the old man signed another contract with the boss of the brick kiln factory, and sometimes things in the world are so coincidental, and within a few days, the boss of the brick kiln factory died again... The old man is a very superstitious person, he thinks that his money is unlucky, to whom to die, we all persuade him, saying that it is just a coincidence, which auspicious is unlucky, ** his old man has said, to get rid of feudal superstition, but the old man does not listen at all, and the people who come to him later are all blocked out of the door, the old man does not see anyone, and locks himself in the house all day long, and there is no movement at all. Once, we didn't see the old man all day, and we were worried that something had happened to him, so a few people knocked on his door... Oh, my mother, what happened that day can scare people to death, I think about it, I have goosebumps on my back..."
(Have a great weekend, friends)
