Chapter 170: Unraveling the Fog
As the old saying goes, people are old and spirits, and horses are old spirits!
Older people have a lot of experience, and they can often see who the other party is by experience, of course, there are times when they are not accurate, but most of them are not far from ten.
Zhang Xuebing was not frightened, and smiled indifferently, "The old man has a unique vision, I'm not wrong, I'm not a doctor, that woman is!" ”
He just answered, and did not ask questions, because he knew in his heart that the old man would inevitably tell a lot of information if he let him come, and he listened patiently, and there was no need to ask.
My Healing Game
The old man laughed strangely, "How do you guess I know you're not a doctor?" ”
This old man doesn't have many days left, and he still has leisure to tease boring people and guess riddles.
Zhang Xuebing was amused in his heart, pulled a chair over, sat down steadily, and put on a posture of listening.
The old man coughed violently, his eyes were dilated, and just when Zhang Xuebing thought he was going to hang up, suddenly his eyes condensed into a bundle and looked at Zhang Xuebing's eyes.
"You have killed people, you have a murderous aura on your body, you are definitely not a doctor!"
His eyes are so sharp? Zhang Xuebing chuckled in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to hear a funny joke and laughed.
"Old man, although I am not a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded, I have never killed anyone, you should recuperate, I will come to see you another day!"
This old man is so weird, Zhang Xuebing would rather stop meddling in his affairs than be treated as a murderer, so he got up and left as he spoke.
The old man suddenly stretched out his thin and withered arm and grabbed his arm, "Wait, I don't have much time, don't you want to listen to the heartfelt words of an old man who is about to die?" ”
Zhang Xuebing felt a pain in his arm, and he wanted to struggle but felt like he was caught by a vice, and he was surprised that this old man had so much strength?
If you insist on breaking free, you can break free, but the old man is bound to be thrown out of bed, and Zhang Xuebing is fortunate to sit down again.
laughed and said, "Old man, you can live to be at least eighty years old, what do you say about death or life!" ”
The old man rolled his eyes, "Lao Tzu is eighty-six this year......"
Zhang Xuebing smiled awkwardly, "You can live to be a hundred years old!" ”
The old man sighed and said, "I know in my heart, I can't live, I used to have one foot in the coffin, this time I'm afraid it's time to go in, I heard the second child say that you are from Zhangjia Village, Luoning?" ”
Listening to his tone, does it have an old relationship with Zhangjiacun? This maybe, after all, it is not very far away, there is nothing to hide, Zhang Xuebing nodded immediately.
"That's right, a native of the mountains, does the old man have any acquaintances in my hometown?"
The old man seemed to be caught in the memory, and he hesitated for a long time before he said.
"There is a person named Zhang Mancang in your village, and he is over eighty years old, maybe you don't recognize it!"
How could it not be recognized! Zhang Xuebing almost spurted blood, the Zhang Mancang he said was Zhang Erdou's grandfather, and he was a brother to his grandfather, and he had to call his second grandfather according to his generation.
It's just that Zhang Xuebing and this relative have never met, and I heard that this person's whereabouts are unknown when he first founded the country.
Since people mentioned it, Zhang Xuebing can't say that he doesn't know him, so he can only say it head-on.
"There is such a person, and I am still relatives in Wufu, but I have never seen him, I heard that he was gone many years ago, is it true that the old man and him are old acquaintances?"
"Oh, it's dead, it's supposed to be dead, it's good to be dead!" The old man sighed inexplicably, and didn't seem to care about the relationship between Zhang Xuebing and that person.
He asked, changing the subject.
"I heard that you gave the village a method of preserving live fish, and in the future, you will buy all kinds of local products, and you will get a medical clinic for the village?"
Zhang Xuebing realized that the old man wanted to see him today, and it was likely to have something to do with this matter.
"That's right, not only do I have to do these things, but in the future I also plan to build a road from the national highway to the outside of the village, so that the specialties of the lake can be sold far away.
Build a high school so that children from nearby villages can have access to higher education, including your three granddaughters! ”
After Zhang Xuebing finished speaking, the old man suddenly pointed at him and laughed.
"Is there a saint in front of me? In the former Qing Dynasty, Wu Qixing begged to run a school, but that's it, boy, what are you trying to do? ”
Zhang Xuebing Zhengse said, "There are also a lot of children in our village like Zhaodi, Niandi, and Gouzi, they are very smart, but they can't get higher education, why, it's just for the sake of family concepts, instead of letting them go to school, it's better to be busy with housework and start a family early."
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and I want to change all of that so that they get an equal chance! ”
The old man laughed enough, blinked his eyes and mocked, "How capable you are, you are not an old pole who came out of a poor mountain village!" ”
The corners of Zhang Xuebing's mouth twitched, and he said with a little arrogance.
"I have a sugar factory, a health care product factory, a breeding farm, the business from Ludong Province to the screw country, more than 200 cars, two fishing boats, four villages of thousands of people are busy for me, you always say, my ability is enough?"
The old man squinted and stared at Zhang Xuebing for a long time, before he nodded and said, "Well, you didn't tell a lie, I believe it!" ”
Zhang Xuebing knew that the old man was definitely not looking for himself today to talk about such nonsense, and now he must still have some concerns that he would not tell him.
So he retreated and said, "Old man, it's not too early, let's talk about it, you have a good rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow!" ”
As soon as the old man heard that he was leaving, he had just let go of his hand and tightened it again.
"You listen to me before leaving, I won't delay you for much time!"
Zhang Xuebing made a gesture to please speak.
The old man adjusted his posture, looked up at the mosquito net above his head, and said quietly.
"I have two sons, the eldest wants me to die, he is a good man......"
At the first sentence, Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, old man, aren't you talking back?" ”
If you want to kill you, you're a good person, what kind of theory is this?
The old man laughed weirdly and said in a non-answer.
"More than 50 years ago, this generation was entrenched in a group of murderous and unblinking water bandits, among them there were two leaders, I was the second leader, and your relative was the big boss, so we ate the waterway from the canal to the Great Lake and the Huanghe River......"
No wonder this old man could feel his murderous aura, and his face was full of anger, it turned out that he was a decisive thief back then.
This is not unusual, thousands of years ago, there were frequent thieves in the Ludong area.
From the willow plantar in the Spring and Autumn Period to the one hundred and eight generals in Shuibo, from the Xiangma in the Sui and Tang dynasties to the car bandits in the early Republic of China, it has never been cut off.
In the past, it was just a legend, Zhang Xuebing didn't expect to see a living person today, and he didn't expect Zhang Erdou's grandfather to also do this business.
The old man is old and has accumulated a lot of scabies, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, and recalling the past intermittently, talking for half an hour, and finally clarifying the cause and effect.
