Chapter 18: Unavoidable Trouble
That night, everyone was drunk, and Xiu'er was arranged by me to go home early, leaving only six of us men around a big table to eat and drink, laughing and making a fuss.
The next morning, Xiu'er came over, put a blanket on everyone, and slept until the afternoon, before waking up one after another.
I washed my cold face one by one and drank some water before I recovered one after another. Everyone sat at the door and chatted, and they talked about the broken car that the fat man bought.
"Fatty, where did you buy this car, it's too broken."
"You don't understand this, this car is a retired military vehicle, I entrusted a lot of relationships to get it, find a guy who knows how to repair it with me to tidy it up, before and after spending more than 10,000 yuan, although it looks very broken, but it is very durable, except for the sound is a little louder, all other aspects are very strong."
"As soon as you get this money, you will spend it everywhere, is there not much left?"
The fat man smiled embarrassedly, "Money is such a thing, it should be spent when it is in hand, if you don't bring it to life and die, why do you save it?" I'm not like you, I still have a beautiful daughter-in-law to support, I'm a single person, as long as I'm happy. ”
I have to say that the fat man's attitude to life is really interesting.
The day passed quickly, and in the days that followed, with the help of their group, the preparations for the wedding seemed to be very smooth, and it was almost a blink of an eye to my wedding day. I've been busy from morning to night, and I haven't been able to stop, although my heart is happy, but ** is extremely painful.
Fortunately, the whole wedding ended as expected, not only me, but also the big heads were all tired and lay down.
And just like that, for the first time in my life, I had a family of my own.
After the wedding, the fat man and his party continued to stay for four days, and on the fourth night, sitting in the night, they said goodbye to me, "Mosquito, we are all very happy to see you get married, no, we have been making trouble here for half a month, it's time to say goodbye." ”
"What the hell is this, I welcome you to stay here at any time."
"That being said, after all, you have also begun to have your own family, and you are no longer responsible for yourself as before, and now you can afford the glorious and arduous task of supporting Xiu'er, and it is not like us to stay here, besides, there are still some things that need to be done."
What are some things to do? My gaze sneaked into the smoker's left hand, the bandage still tied to it, and it was a lie to say that I didn't feel strange, what kind of fall has not been getting better after so many days?
I turned to the smoker, "Your hand, isn't it all right yet?" ”
"If you fall and get hurt, where will it be so easy to get better! You ask Taro, he's a professional doctor. ”
Hearing his name, the expression on Taro's face was obviously unnatural, and a stiff expression cooperated with the smoker's words, "Yes, the fall injury is relatively serious, it won't be so fast, and it may take half a month." ”
The big head interjected, "Mosquito, don't worry about him, it's not a big deal, it will be fine after all." But you, now that you are married, what are your plans for the future? ”
Why do I feel that Big Head's remarks are deliberately diversioning the topic?
"I don't feel any different, just live my life as before."
The fat man disagreed and shouted, "Mosquito, I said that you can't do this, and you are still living in a daze as before, then Xiu'er is not in bad luck with you, you have to be serious." ”
I ignored him, "Monkey, you haven't spoken since just now, keep your head down, do you have anything to tell me?" ”
"And all of you, is there something to hide from me?"
They laughed. "Mosquito, you're thinking too much."
The monkey finally looked up at me and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Mosquito, you must pay attention to safety." ”
"Monkey!" The big head sitting next to him heard the monkey's words and immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"But...... But "the monkey lowered his head again, and scratched his finger on the dirt on the ground.
"Mosquito, don't listen to the monkey's nonsense, this kid drinks too much and talks nonsense." Big Head explained to me.
The monkey's words had completely strengthened my mind that they were hiding something from me, so I only spoke to the monkey, "Monkey, do you have something to say to me, it's okay, just leave them alone." ”
He raised his head slightly, and his eyes rolled around, "But they told me that I must not say it." ”
"Hey." Seeing that the monkey finally leaked his mouth, the big head sighed helplessly.
"Guys, I don't think it will be helpful to hide from the mosquitoes, what if, during the time we are away, those people come to us, when the time comes, the mosquitoes are not prepared at all, wouldn't it be more troublesome." The monkey seemed to have mustered up enough courage to speak in one go.
The big head and a few of them fell silent, the big head hesitated, but still said, "We haven't thought about this, but what can we do, the mosquito now has a family, and we can't do those dangerous things with everyone anymore, and the result of saying it is much worse than not saying it." "The big head turned to me after speaking, but now that the words have been said here, the smoker's arm was not broken, someone found him some time ago and attacked him on the street, if it wasn't for the fact that I and the fat man happened to go to pick up the smoker, I'm afraid the smoker is finished now." ”
Really.
"I think you still remember what he said before he separated from Gu Cang, and now it seems that he really didn't talk nonsense. We people took things that we shouldn't have taken, and now those people are coming to the door. In fact, as early as two days before the meeting, the five of us had already arrived in the city, and we have not come to your house for a long time, mainly to discuss how to deal with this matter, and the final result is that everyone agreed to hide this matter from you, and after attending your wedding, we will go to the address left by Gu Cang, find him, and carry out the next step, I don't know what the action is. ”
After hearing this, I was already angry, "So you plan to leave me here alone, and let you do those dangerous things?" ”
"No, no, mosquito, listen to me, you see that you already have a family now, you can't be so reckless, judging from the people who attacked the smokers that I and Datou observed that day, they are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps, this time, life and death are uncertain. You have a lover to accompany you until you grow old, and it's not worth going on an adventure with us. "The fat man is a rare kind word of persuasion.
Although I know that they are doing it for my own good, I absolutely cannot accept this kind of behavior. "Fatty, we are all together, so naturally we have to bear it together, you don't think I'm a coward. Xiu'er, I'll try to convince her. If you want to go this time, let's go together, otherwise I will never forgive you in my life, and if you have any misfortunes, I will not forgive myself. “
"But—" The fat man wanted to say something.
But I heard the big head shouting, "Xiu'er, why did you come out?" After half a month of getting along, Xiu'er is already very familiar with everyone, so there is no need to be so polite when talking to each other.
"What are you talking about? Where are you going? Xiu'er put her hands on my shoulders and asked with concern.
"No, we're just saying it's time to go home tomorrow, we're sorry to bother for so long." The big head also wants to cover up.
"Huh? Big head, you're still trying to lie to me? I could hear it clearly, what? Do you want to put it another way? Xiu'er winked playfully at the big head.
Seeing that the lie was exposed, the big head was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Haha, look at your embarrassment." Xiu'er smiled, "I agree with my husband's statement, you are brothers, if something happens, of course you have to bear it together, if the mosquito hides like this, I'm afraid even I will look down on him." ”
"Xiu'er, this is not a joke, did you hear clearly, this trip is very dangerous, and you are willing to let mosquitoes follow?" The smoker chimed in.
"My ears are very sharp, and I can hear your words clearly. It is precisely because of the danger that mosquitoes must go together, one more person means one more helper, and there is less danger, isn't it? If you guys are going to do something boring, I'm not going to let him mess around. ”
Taro looked at Xiu'er who said this lightly in surprise, and her surprised expression was obvious, "Xiu'er, what kind of girl are you?" ”
"Hehe, I'm just an ordinary girl,"
"It's been a long day of insight." Taro nodded in admiration.
"So, since Xiu'er has agreed, this matter is settled, and we will set off together tomorrow." I concluded.
"But......" They wanted to say something more, but Xiu'er shook her hand to stop them.
"Let's just say it, it's late, let's all go into the house to rest and recuperate." Xiu'er said this, leaving the five of them to sit there with a look of remorse.
That night, Xiu'er helped me pack the things I wanted to take with me when I went out, and kept telling me to 'go home safely'. But I can easily see through how reluctant she is hidden under her expression of understanding.
Late at night, Xiu'er hugged me and cried silently for a long time, muttering at the corner of her mouth that it was always the phrase 'you must go home safely'.
I answered silently.
"Yes, I'll be sure to return to you safely."
