The fat man was obviously also stimulated, and said, "Patriarch...... So you're the little brother? ”

Zhang Tangrui was expressionless and said, "Son." ”

What the?

Thunder!

I was so shocked that I almost didn't have weak legs, but then I looked at Zhang Tangrui's smiling expression, I knew that I had been tricked, even if the stuffy oil bottle had a son, it was definitely not this kind of goods, and I forcibly calmed down, I said: "Brother, don't be joking, talk about serious things." ”

I'm pretty sure that this guy should be the same family as Stuffy Bottle, as he said, Stuffy Bottle left the family because of something, and then he never went back because of amnesia.

This person has been in Taiwan, when Zhang Da Buddha rose, it was the era of warlord separation, the real Zhang family was thin, in order to avoid the war, it was likely to move with the Kuomintang, so he disappeared, from this point of view, Zhang Tangrui's identity should not be a big problem.

For the Zhang family, the patriarch is the ultimate inheritor, which is naturally very significant, and it is reasonable that they will look for stuffy oil bottles, but I don't know why, I always have a very unreliable feeling for this Zhang Tangrui who suddenly appeared.

It's not about him himself, but his appearance has subverted my perception of the stuffy oil bottle, a being in the hearts of all of us, as powerful as a god, suddenly a group of people of the same clan appeared, and even a wife and son may emerge in the future, which made me and the fat man very hard, and I even had a feeling in my heart that my son was snatched away.

Of course, this feeling was only fleeting, and I knew I should accept this fact.

The stuffy oil bottle is indeed very powerful, but he is still a person after all, he didn't jump out of the cracks in the stones, it's normal to have a father and mother, if there is a wife and a son, it's also normal, after all, he has lived at least a hundred years old, and it is impossible to fight a plane for a hundred years.

Thinking of this, I calmed down and asked, "Why did you find me?" ”

Zhang Tangrui drank tea and said slowly: "The country can't be without a monarch for a day, the family can't be without an owner for a day, we can't wait any longer, so we can only take the initiative to find it, to be honest, we can find the clues to you, we also spent a lot of time, and your Wu family's power is not small." ”

I laughed dryly, it's really not small, but compared to the Zhang family, a group of cattle who prolong their lives, we are still too tender.

The fat man hissed and said, "This brother, take the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?" Zhang Tangrui choked for a moment and said: "Our Zhang family does live a long life, but except for the patriarch of each term, the rest of the people are normal, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five today, if Boss Wu doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Zhang." ”

I laughed dryly, and a doubt arose in my heart, can the patriarch not be old? What does that mean? Probably seeing my doubts, Zhang Tangrui said: "In addition to the longevity of the patriarch, the easy death remains the same, well, this is a kind of welfare." ”

The fat man suddenly popped up: "Is the patriarch's wife also stained?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Tangrui groaned for a moment and said, "No, it won't." ”

The fat man suddenly showed a more tangled look, and said to me: "That little brother is not miserable, a young man, holding an old woman in his seventies and eighties, no matter how strong his heart is, he can't talk at night, no wonder he ran away from home back then, I said, I should have found a rich woman for my little brother a long time ago, he is so bored now, he is dissatisfied." ”

I kicked him and said, "Last year's uncle, my brother's whereabouts are unknown now, you can't hurt him a few words, you have the ability to say this in front of him next time, someone is there, don't let people see the joke." ”

Zhang Tangrui said seriously: "It's not a joke, it's a fact." After a pause, he said, "However, the patriarch's situation is relatively special, and polygamy is allowed." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, inquired with some gossip, and said, "Where is the little brother, his wife and son now?" ”

"No, the patriarch was not married when he left, he has been missing for sixty years."

The fat man and I looked at each other, and felt that the world of stuffy oil bottles was a little far away from us.

After a while, we pulled away from this rather gossip topic, and after a pause, I asked, "Why did you find me?" ”

Zhang Tangrui groaned: "Through our investigation, you and Boss Wang should be the patriarch's most trusted friends now, and he should leave you some clues." I smiled bitterly and said, "No, there are no clues, he told us to wait for two years, but ...... It's been two years and four months now. ”

Zhang Tangrui paused, sighed, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't, we can also cooperate, over the years, we have not extended our power to the mainland, and the strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake, if I can have your help, I think everything will go smoothly." ”

I didn't say anything right away, to be honest, if I could really cooperate with Zhang Tangrui, then the hope of finding a stuffy oil bottle would have risen by 50% almost immediately, but that would mean risk, and such a goal would be too big.

Zhang Tangrui seemed to know my estimate, and when he saw that I didn't speak, he said: "There must be risks, but we will try to minimize them, and we will withdraw when we achieve our goals, and we are more reluctant to take the lead than you." ”

His words are right, for thousands of years, the secrets guarded by the Zhang family have been the goal of almost every leader, and now for the Zhang family, restoring ordinary people is the best guardian of the ultimate, and they should not do too dazzling.

But I promised my second uncle......

This is not a decision that can be made with enthusiasm for a while, nor is it that I have no righteousness towards the stuffy oil bottle, but now I am not just me, but also represent the position of the Wu family.

If it were just me at risk, I would not hesitate to agree, but this thing ......

I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly.

Zhang Tangrui then got up and said: "Boss Wu, the reason why I came to you is because you are the patriarch's best friend, and the only person we can find to cooperate with is you, of course, we can't force you to do this, a week later, if you want to get through, call me according to the business card, if you don't want to, don't go over." As he spoke, he put away the silver medal on the table.

I couldn't help but say, "Let me think about it." How sure are you of cooperating with you? ”

Zhang Tangrui said: "If I am sure, I will not come to you." After a pause, he put his two index fingers into a cross posture, and then hooked his fingers, clasped them together, and said: "Only by buckling it up, it will be tighter, cooperation is just a way to increase the success rate, I am not completely sure, I don't know more than you about the patriarch's past in the mainland." ”

After speaking, Zhang Tangrui walked out, and his figure quickly disappeared.

I sat in my chair and couldn't speak for a while.

The fat man patted me on the shoulder and asked me what I thought, and I said, "Fatty, you say, am I particularly unrighteous?" ”

The fat man lay back in his chair and said, "You say, am I also very unrighteous?" ”

I didn't understand, the fat man squinted and said, "Do you remember Lao Hu?" ”

I stiffened a little, to be honest, when I got along with the fat man, I tacitly avoided Lao Hu, which was the debt of our two lives, and it gnawed away our conscience.

It's the first time I've mentioned it in two years, and I don't know what it means to be fat.

He said: "In fact, in that situation at that time, I couldn't make a choice at all, you and Lao Hu were in the fat man's heart, it was a balance, saying that it was balanced in my heart, if the situation was reversed at that time, the little brother cut your rope and saved Lao Hu, I wouldn't stop it, because when I couldn't make a decision, but had to make a decision, I gave the choice to the little brother." ”

I understood what the fat man meant and asked, "What do you think I should do?" Whatever the consequences, I'll bear it. ”

The fat man pursed his lips and said, "You can't bear it." He said: "Can you take the life of the entire Wu family or the life of the little brother?" You can't afford any of them. In the end, the fat man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little brother has saved more than you over the years, how many times has he saved the fat man, and the fat man is like Ming Spiegel in his heart." ”

After a pause, the fat man continued: "When he was young, the fat man treated him as a brother; If one day the fat man is old, he is still like this, then the fat man will treat him as a son, and the fat man will dig out his heart and liver to hurt him, which is definitely better than his own son, these are no problem. But naïve...... Not now, now we don't have this capital, you should understand these truths. ”

After speaking, the fat man wore slippers, walked to the refrigerator to eat watermelon, and bit the watermelon, as if he was biting the flesh of the enemy.

The fat man's words made me decide, I took out the business card and wanted to tear it off, but for a long, long time, I couldn't get my hands on it.

It's not a business card, it's a hope; Again, this could be a talisman.

Zhang Tangrui's appearance is like the old man with gold teeth back then, what he will bring to me, no one can predict.

In the end, I didn't tear it off, but pressed it to the last layer of the business card holder and started to continue researching the information. I couldn't work with Zhang Ruitang, and it was difficult to even find clues to the stuffy oil bottle, but maybe I could provide them with some information.

Next, I almost completely gave up my business, and on the Qinghai side, Wang Meng had already led people to Xinjiang, but I didn't make any progress. The fat man is now the boss, sitting and eating and waiting for the account, so he treats my shop as his home, and he is about to eat me poor, and occasionally on the way to the library, his eyes are squinting at the female college students who come and go, and I am also listed as an accomplice, and I have received countless white eyes.

Guilt and all kinds of complex emotions, so that it is difficult for us to stop, the fat man is not a suitable person for reading, although he is not as desperate as me, but has not left me, I asked him why he did not go back to Beijing, the fat man said: "I have three brothers in my life, Lao Hu is gone, the little brother is missing, you are left, in case you go crazy and schizophrenic because of the little brother's affairs, the fat man is too lonely in this world." ”

I nodded and didn't say anything.

When I met the fat man, he was forty-two years old, his head was full of bright weapons, he was fat, and he was vigorous, and since he did not look old, I thought he was only in his early thirties.

But we are not stuffy oil bottles, time is a pig-killing knife, today's fat man I understand him, for a fifty-year-old person, who already knows the destiny of heaven, the money, fame and even excitement that he once pursued are not as good as the company of relatives and brothers.

He was afraid that something would happen to me.

I patted the fat man's hand and said, "Don't worry, the uncle is only thirty years old this year, his daughter-in-law has not yet married, and his son has not yet been born. ”

The fat man was happy and said, "What if I have a daughter?" ”

I said, "Then I'll have to stay away from you." ”

"Damn, what do you think of the fat man, are you so filthy!"
