Chapter 11: Departure
I asked him, "Big brother, are you also short of money?" He touched his somewhat disabled leg and said, "I still have an older brother who is in college, and I am useless, and I can't add glory to my family, so I can only earn more money to reduce the burden on my family." ”
I said, "You are the most paid among us, why do you eat potatoes and vegetables every day?" ”
He snorted, and after a moment said, "I like to eat that." "At that time, I calculated that according to his living standard, the monthly living expenses were actually only about 60 yuan, which was worse than me.
Later, I met him twice, the first time was when he had just started to do business and collect mountain goods, it was already five years later, he was still working on the construction site, his legs were even more lame, he was not yet thirty years old, but his face was full of vicissitudes, his skin was a black that could no longer be washed, and his arms were all wounds left by work.
I was quite surprised and said, "Your legs are like this, why don't you change jobs?" Look at what you've been tossing yourself into. ”
He looked at me with some relief and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've become an adult." My legs are nothing, and the eldest brother in the family is going to marry a daughter-in-law, so I have to scrape together money to build a house for him. “
The last time I saw him, I actually couldn't say that I had seen him, but I heard that two years later, he accidentally fell to his death on the construction site and lost more than 100,000 yuan.
Because the body was inconvenient to transport, it was cremated directly in Shenzhen.
At that time, people who came out of the countryside had a very strict idea of burial of fallen leaves returning to their roots, and the greatest wish of people who died in a foreign land was to be able to return to their hometown for burial.
But he was cremated in the end directly in Shenzhen.
In this world, there is a kind of person called inch inch, and there is another kind of person called giving to please, and when these two people meet together, it is destined to be a tragedy.
That co-worker has always been disliked because of his disability, so he is desperately trying to make money to please his family, but what is the result?
I won't do this kind of stupid thing, and people who are not worthy of pleasing should give up when it is time to give up. Therefore, after Wen Min finished scolding, I said, "Is there anything else to say besides this?" ”
On the other end of the phone, her wheezing voice was heavy, and after a while, her voice was hoarse: "Old Man Zhang is dead." ”
I said, "Which old man Zhang?" ”
She said, "Don't play stupid. Zhang Haiqi. The surname Bai has sued me, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. ”
I smiled, trying to lighten the pain in my heart: "What kind of person am I?" Wen Min, we've known each other for more than three years, and I ask you, if I didn't take action this time, would you have done it to me? ”
She was silent for a while, and said: "This case involves too much, and if it moves other people, it will inevitably involve you, and I can't keep it at all." ”
I said, "In other words, either you die or I live?" Sometimes, a thing is not about the result, but about the process. Even if one day, I really lose in the hands of Zhang Haiqi, I am willing. But I can't stand it, let you send me to the execution ground. I've had enough of betrayal. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a deathly silence on the phone.
Actually, deep down, I'm not surprised that she's a spy. After all, when we first met, our identities were already on opposite sides. But I think that the experience of these two years should at least give us a trace of affection and sincerity.
Even if there is a trace of truth, even if this game has really begun, she should not involve herself. On the other hand, if it were me, even if I didn't have the ability to protect my lover, then I would rather retreat and withdraw than kill her personally.
And now, obviously, if I hadn't fought back, then her plan would have continued without hesitation. If things do get to that point, I'm going to be so sad. Since you don't want to be a pathetic person, you can only be a hateful person.
After I finished speaking, her tone became fierce: "What's wrong with me doing this!" ”
I said, "You're right, I'm the one who is wrong." If it's okay, hang up. She was silent, and I hung up. This kind of thing, where is there any right or wrong, she catches her thief, and I pour my fight, like a cat and a mouse, born to be an enemy.
She didn't call again, the next time, we had a stable time, purchased some New Year's goods, generally single old men are relatively simple for the New Year, but the one-eyed dragon said that the past two years are too unlucky, especially the inverted bucket digging mushrooms, often rushing to be happy, so at home to do a lot of hanging red colored paper these things, very lively.
For so many years, I really haven't been so festive, and I'm very happy. This year has been extraordinarily peaceful, we run outside all year round, and we don't want to go too far, so we usually go to the nearby park. During the Spring Festival, the crowds are surging, and they are popular, looking at the smiling faces around them, which is much better than facing zongzi and bloody conspiracy all day long.
During this period of time, we have been paying attention to the trends in the industry, Lu Su's side is still mysterious, and it is difficult to find out about him, but the news from Bai Sanye's side is easy to get. Zhang Haiqi died in a car accident accident, to be precise, it was a problem with his vehicle parts. Of course, why this car accident happened, people with a heart naturally know it.
But Bai Sanye did it very secretively, and although this matter caused a big sensation, there was not much follow-up. Due to the death of the head, there was a new one, this is a middle-aged man, pot-bellied, oily, after taking the stage, the style of doing things is very 'safe', and eighty percent of them have received any benefits.
What is the saying? Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
When I heard the news, I felt very uncomfortable, and I said to Tofu, "We don't have anything to do now." ”
Tofu nodded.
I said, "I'm going to sell the shop and do some other business, do you have any opinions?" ”
Tofu nodded violently and said, "Sell, sell, sell, and don't do those immoral things again." After a pause, he said, "The cursed thing ......."
I interrupted him and said, "I don't want to chase it anymore." For this curse, my grandfather, Chen, their whole lives were ruined. Tofu was a little worried, but didn't say anything.
Soon, I learned a very strange thing from Zhen Rui, that is, Bai Sanye disappeared.
His disappearance did not cause much movement, except, of course, his buddies. On the third day of Bai Sanye's disappearance, the adopted daughter who followed him all the year round took charge of the family business. This adopted daughter's style of acting has changed, she is very low-key, and she has not made any moths for the time being.
The red hair is still by the side of Zhen Rui, who provides the environment, and he concentrates on studying the gains made this year. I have to say that this kid is a smart man, he follows us people, although he is born and dies, but he gets a lot of benefits. Many of the shaman's lost secrets have been unearthed by him, and now he has become a research maniac, either staying at home or seeing the head and tail of the dragon.
There is no news from Lu Su's side, I don't know what his relationship with the corpse fairy is, and I can't guess what his ending will be.
In the following days, I slowly sold the goods, and at the beginning of spring, the shop was out, all of them were acquaintances, and the price was fair.
With this money, I thought about it and decided to open a gallery, which was more experienced in this area, and immediately started to rush all kinds of things, and the one-eyed dragon also said that people with disabilities should not fight, so they followed us to do it.
The initial benefit of the gallery was not very good, but it gradually stabilized, although it is not a profiteering industry, but fortunately, it is clean, not too tired, and there are not so many intrigues. Tofu is usually confused, and he has shown great patience in this matter, and he has done a good job.
Bai Shuang's side came over to help from time to time, and all of them developed in a good direction.
I didn't inquire about Wen Min again, and at the beginning of June, I quietly packed up my salute, left a note for Tofu, and left. It is true that I have no power to pursue the curse anymore, but all these years of experience have told me that it has never gone away.
This thing is like a huge shadow in life, and now, no matter how beautiful something I see, I subconsciously think of destroying it. I don't want the one-eyed dragon to lose another eye, and I don't want tofu to be bothered by me again.
Once the qiē is over, they should all be fine.
I left Shenzhen with a sum of money, a land I had set foot on since I was 14 years old, and finally said goodbye when I was 34 years old.
Thirty years have passed in a flash, and many things seem to have happened yesterday, and they are extremely vivid in my memory.
Time flies, life is like a dream, probably this is a portrayal.
