Chapter Seventy-Five: Brother Li's Family
After I came back, life was still dull, I found all the previous relationships, and all the relationships under my grandfather, but there was still no news of my grandfather on their side.
I also asked about Datuan, but they didn't have any news of Zhang Dahai. It seems that grandpa and Zhang Dahai may still be together, but now I don't know where they are.
The big man is an idle man, and although I opened the shop again after I came back, business was still not very good. The bored head began to run everywhere again, but it was limited to Henan, and it was also a lot of eye-catching things.
Another reason why he ran like this was to help me find clues about my grandfather. Grandpa is very famous in this industry, and almost everyone in the earth mouse class knows it. While looking for grandpa, I also inquired about the news of Kong Sanye by the way, before we entered the three-phase tomb, we were led by Kong Sanye.
After running for seven or eight days, the big head came back, except for bringing back a few things that could be seen, but he didn't hear any information about Grandpa and Kong Sanye.
However, the big head was quite satisfied with the trip, carefully took out a porcelain vase from the baggage, and said triumphantly to me: "Qiangzi, look at what good things I received, if I hadn't seen them this time, this good thing would still be on the table with wild flowers." ”
I took the bottle from the big head's hand and looked at it carefully, touched and touched, and looked back at the big head's snort, this time he really found a treasure. This thing turned out to be a listening wind bottle, it seems that it should be something from the Song Dynasty, and it is worth a lot of money.
The bottom of the listening bottle is hexagonal, the top and bottom are generally thinner, placed on the bookshelf cabinet, as long as the wind blows, it will sway non-stop, and the hexagonal base is to let it fall.
The big head went to the boundary of Kaifeng this time and collected it in the village near Kaifeng. Kaifeng existed as the capital Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty, so it is not surprising that there is such a thing. It's just that I didn't expect that the realm had been almost looted many years ago, and Datou could still find this wind bottle there.
In the past few days, I wanted to discuss something with the boss, and when I saw him come back, after putting the wind bottle away, I closed the door of the store and pulled him out to find a small restaurant to eat. Although Datou is very tired now, as soon as he heard that I invited him to the restaurant, he went to wash his face and change his clothes, and followed me with him.
In the small restaurant, the two of us didn't ask for much, ordered a few dishes and a bottle of liquor, drank a glass first, and then slowly began to talk about things.
"Big head, have you had any nightmares these days?" I picked up the glass and drank it down, then played with it in my hand and watched the big head react.
When talking about the nightmare, the big head was a little unnatural, and the excitement when he first came back was gone. Like me, he drank the wine in his hand, put the wine glass on the table fiercely, and said, "Damn, isn't it already seven seven hundred and forty-nine days, and you can still dream of that thing." ”
Sure enough, not only did I dream of it, but I also dreamed of it. But hasn't the curse of the Hidden Ghost Cup been broken, seventy-seven and forty-nine days have passed, and Datou and I are still sitting here.
"Maybe things haven't been going well recently, I always think of those days in Hubei." I poured my head and my glass full of wine.
"Qiangzi, I dreamed of a cold knife, and that guy was still chasing me with a knife, and he was smiling like that grimace. What did you dream about? "Speaking of Cold Knife, he's still hanging out there, even though he's already dead.
I picked up the glass again and motioned for the big head to drink it together. After a drink, I said slowly: "This is the real purpose of inviting you here this time, do you remember that Brother Li?" ”
"The one who gave you two million after death?" The big head asked with some surprise, it seems that the charm of money is still relatively easy to remember. But my biggest impression of Brother Li is his beautiful and lovely daughter.
"Yes, that's him. Tomorrow we will pack our things, let's go to his house and send them our things. "It's been half a month since I came back, and I've been inquiring about my grandfather's news, and I've forgotten about this stubble, if it weren't for the experience I dreamed of in the ancient tomb last night, I might not remember it now.
It just so happens that the big head came back from outside today, and when I go out, I still like to take the big head with me, at least it won't be so stuffy. And the force value is also very good, go out with him, don't worry too much about safety.
Brother Li's family is in Sichuan, far away from Henan, after I set the itinerary with Datou, I greeted everyone in Henan, and asked them to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of grandpa, and by the way, also inquire about the whereabouts of Kong Sanye.
Before leaving, I also called Datuan, but the people over there said that Datuan had left before, and as for where they went, they didn't know.
I went to Sichuan this time just to find Brother Li's family and give them things. On the train, I kept thinking about Brother Li, guessing which force they were working for. But after all, I am not from their way, and I know very few people, so I don't understand any of this.
It's a big head, since I heard that I was going to Sichuan, I was a little excited, and I was lying on the bed in the sleeper car, still smiling happily in my mouth. Seeing me thinking about things there, he got up and shouted to me: "Qiangzi, are you fucking tired all day, I heard that the Sichuan girl is hot and beautiful, maybe you can bring a sister back this time?" ”
Datou learned Sichuan dialect nondescriptly, with a Henan flavor, which amused several native Sichuan people next door. The big head is also thick-skinned, and he used to ask those people to teach him to speak Sichuanese.
Those few people look like young people who go out to work, more than ten years of reform and opening up, more and more people go out to work, and Sichuan, as a province with a large population, has more people going out.
The big head is originally a talkative, and he is thick-skinned and will come to trouble, and those people are also of the same age, and they will get acquainted after a while, and everyone is chatting all over the world. I hinted at the big head and asked Brother Li for this address by the way, to see if those people knew.
I didn't expect that one of those people really knew this address, which made it a lot more convenient for us. Under the guidance of the young man, we got off the train at the first two stops of Chengdu, which saved us a lot of unjust roads.
It was about three o'clock in the middle of the night when we got off the train, and we found a small hotel near the train station and stayed there. The hostel is very small, with two beds in one room and even the toilet is outside.
I locked the door from the inside, but I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and I kept thinking about how to tell Brother Li's family about it. The big head was sleeping in the other bed, and when he saw me tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he turned to me and asked, "Qiangzi, did you take the million?" ”
After the big head asked, I remembered that before Brother Li died, he said that there was one million in it that was mine, and I had already agreed to share it equally with the three people of the big head and the big group. But when I got here, I hesitated a little, Brother Li is dead, and he still has to share other people's money, is this appropriate?
After I said my thoughts, the big head nodded, but quickly shook his head: "Qiangzi, you are stupid, that's a million, and there is still a million in it that is enough for their family to spend a lifetime." We, the million, still have to take care of the families of the dead river diggers. Relying on the gold bricks of the big group alone is definitely not enough. ”
Entangled until dawn, I still didn't have a decision. When the big head woke up, he saw me like that, and without saying a word, he took the card directly to the bank, transferred 1 million from the ATM to my account, and then returned the card to me and said, "Now it's okay, the matter is settled." Don't forget, divide the money. ”
Of course, I know that what the big head said about the penny or something is a joke, but I still feel a little bottomless when I take away someone's one million like this.
After eating and inquiring about the address, we set off towards Brother Li's house. Brother Li's family is also rural, but the house is the best in their village, and it seems that Brother Li is relatively filial.
When I met the villagers at the entrance of the village, they heard that we were coming to look for Brother Li, so they pointed to the house and asked us to go directly, there are people in their house now. When communicating with the villagers, of course, the big head came forward, but I didn't expect this kid to learn so many words on the train, and he still has a good appearance.
knocked on the door of Brother Li's house and saw an old lady with a wrinkled face. The knife-like wrinkles made my heart a little sour. The eldest lady looked at the two of us and asked with some confusion, "Which one are you looking for?" ”
"Auntie, we are friends of Brother Li. This time we came to Sichuan on business, and he let us bring something back by the way. After hearing the big head say this, I let go of the heart I was carrying. I'm afraid that the big head will tell the eldest lady the news that Brother Li is dead, so that she can't stand it.
After listening to this, the eldest lady shouted into the room: "Chunhua'er, your man has a letter." After shouting, he let me and the big head into the house.
After entering the house, I saw the spring flowers shouted by the eldest mother. Chunhuaer should be Brother Li's wife, and that aunt is Brother Li's mother. Chunhua'er looks like she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, followed by a little girl of three or four years old, with two ponytails, which is very cute.
I recognized this little girl at a glance, it was the little girl in the photo on the necklace that Brother Li entrusted me to bring back, in reality it was cuter than in the photo, and I couldn't help but look at it twice. The little girl was a little shy and kept hiding behind Chunhua'er, looking at us dodgedly.
The eldest lady said that she would let Chunhuaer entertain us, and she went into the kitchen and started to cook, and it seemed that she planned to keep us for dinner. But that's fine, when my aunt is here, I really don't know how to speak. Now that the eldest lady is gone, I took out those two things and handed them to Chunhua'er.
After Chunhua'er saw that thing, she almost cried, and after holding her nose with one hand and crying a little, she sent the little girl behind her to the kitchen, and then took it and looked at it carefully.
"Sister-in-law, this is what Brother Li asked us to bring, there is one million in the card, and the password is six eights, you can keep it." Seeing her like that, both me and the big head were not happy.
"Why did he die, where did he die, and when did he die?" Unexpectedly, we felt that we didn't miss any flaws, she had already seen it, and she knew that Brother Li was dead.
"Sister-in-law, actually, ......" Before I finished speaking, I was pulled out by Chunhua'er, and the big head was also pulled out of the door by her.
"Don't talk about it, I know it, he said that if he saw this thing, it meant that he was dead. Let's go, don't tell your mother, she's too old to stand it. Chunhua'er cried again as she spoke, for fear of alarming the old man, so she couldn't help crying, "You tell me about the date, so that I can let me know when his death day is." ”
Hearing Chun Hua'er say this, I suddenly felt very blocked in my heart, not only for Brother Li and his family, but also for those who dug the river and their families, maybe every family will be the same as Brother Li and his family when they hear that the man is dead.
After briefly telling Chunhua'er about Brother Li's affairs, Datou and I didn't stay to eat. I don't know how to deal with the elderly, and I don't dare to think about how difficult it will be for a little girl who is still three or four years old to live without her father in the future, and whether she will be bullied. Fortunately, Brother Li left them a million, but what about the other river diggers, what do they have?
