When Xiao Hei woke up, he felt that his forehead was wet and his throat was about to smoke.

He scrambled to his feet and looked around for water to drink.

A large enamel jar was handed over, filled with water.

Xiao Hei took the water tank, drank for a while, burped, and was completely sober.

He put down the water tank, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and noticed that there was a girl standing in front of him.

It was only then that he noticed that he was sleeping on a bunk in a room.

The girl stood on the ground, took the water tank, turned and left.

"Hey......" Hei didn't know what to call the girl, and wanted to know where he was.

The girl seemed to know what he was going to ask, deliberately avoided talking to him, and trotted out.

It didn't take much time for Boss Zhou to come in.

"Brother, wake up." Boss Zhou smiled and sat on the side of the kang, took out a cigarette, took out one and handed it to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei didn't answer the cigarette. He looked at Boss Zhou in a daze, trying his best to recover his memory.

He remembered that he was herding sheep on the hillside, and Boss Zhou gave him two bottles of liquor and ate a roast chicken.

"Where am I?" Blackie asks where he is staying.

Boss Zhou lit a cigarette by himself, smoked it slowly and said, "You are at my house." ”

"Why did I come to your house?" Xiao Hei didn't believe Boss Zhou's words.

The two have never known each other, and they have met several times in total, why did Boss Zhou take him home.

Boss Zhou didn't seem to hear Xiao Hei's question, and smoked with relish.

"What do you want." Xiao Hei sat up straight, mentally prepared to do something with Boss Zhou.

Although he hadn't experienced this kind of thing, he also knew that Boss Zhou would not bring him home for no reason.

Reason told him that this was the legendary flower shooter.

Xiao Hei has never been drunk when he drinks, and there must be something wrong with the two bottles of wine that Boss Zhou gave him, otherwise, he wouldn't wake up and get here.

Seeing that Xiao Hei opened his posture, Boss Zhou smiled undiminishedly and motioned for him to sit down and not be impulsive.

He took a few puffs of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt to the ground and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you." ”

Xiao Hei clenched his fists, and slowly moved towards Boss Zhou, just waiting for Boss Zhou to explain the situation, he punched down, ensuring that he could beat Boss Zhou all over the ground to find teeth.

"I went to buy sheep that night, and I shouldn't have left you at the old stone house." Boss Zhou said and stood up and said, "I didn't expect this old couple to be too inauthentic." ”

Xiao Hei didn't know if Boss Zhou was on guard against him, or if he had another purpose, anyway, if he wanted to get up and attack Boss Zhou now, it was estimated that he would not achieve his goal.

"Don't get excited, listen to me slowly." Boss Zhou saw from Xiao Hei's wide eyes that this kid was a donkey, this is a master who wants to do it if he doesn't agree with him.

Boss Zhou didn't know how capable Xiao Hei was, and he didn't want to have any conflict with Xiao Hei.

He said: "Yesterday I went to buy sheep again, and I heard from the villagers that you had suffered a lot of sins in Lao Shi's house, and I was a little sorry not to go, so I brought you back." ”

Xiao Hei lowered his head and felt that his nose was a little sour.

The door opened, and the girl who had just handed Xiao Hei water walked in with a large package.

"Are you hungry?" Boss Zhou asked Xiao Hei.

"I'm just thirsty." Little Black told the truth.

"At a young age, after drinking two bottles of liquor, can you not be thirsty?" Boss Zhou told the girl to find water for Xiao Hei to drink.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that Xiao Hei was really blessed and fateful.

changed to someone else, drank two bottles of liquor in one go, and either died of alcohol poisoning, or was sent to the hospital for rescue.

"Have you ever drunk so much before?" Boss Zhou asked Xiao Hei.

"Almost." Blackie replied.

"How it turned out." Boss Zhou was interested.

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "It's the same as no one." ”

Blackie wasn't lying, he didn't react to alcohol in any way. Drinking liquor is like drinking cold water, two bottles of liquor are normal for him, I don't know why, this time he was so drunk that he didn't know anything.

This only shows that he is now just a mortal.

The girl brought in a large jar of water again, Xiao Hei took the water tank, and "dong dong dong" was another burst of booze.

Boss Zhou smiled and watched Xiao Hei finish drinking the water, and said to him: "This bag is the clothes I bought for you, you stay in the house, don't go anywhere, and let her get you food when you're hungry." ”

The girl listened to Boss Zhou's words, and stood aside in a proper manner, waiting for orders.

Boss Zhou said again: "Our bath will be closed after a while, you go take a bath, put on new clothes, and live here tonight." ”

"Why are you so nice to me?" Xiao Hei is very grateful to Boss Zhou for his care, and he needs an answer even more.

"Those who do business must accumulate virtue and do good deeds in order to make a lot of money." Boss Zhou had a righteous face, Xiao Hei was not moved on the surface, but he still secretly gave Boss Zhou a definition of a good person.

Boss Zhou went out, but the girl was still standing there.

"Sit." Xiao Hei said a word, and the girl sat obediently by the kang. Hei asked her, "Where is this?" ”

The girl shook her head.

The boss had instructed her not to have any verbal communication with Xiao Hei, and she did not dare to disobey the order.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and a man from fifty miles away poked his head in and said to the girl, "The door is closed over there." ”

The girl picked up her baggage and motioned for Hei to follow her.

This girl may be mute.

Thinking so, Xiao Hei walked out of the room with the girl, through a courtyard, and turned to the back of the bath room.

The man who had come to deliver the letter just now was waiting there, and he took the girl's burden and guided Xiao Hei into the bath.

It is a red brick house, less than a hundred square meters in size, with a table on the street, and behind the table is a wall of wooden cabinets.

The man put the burden on the table and said to Xiao Hei, "You take off your clothes in the cupboard, and when you go in, you will be in the bathhouse." ”

Xiao Hei took off his clothes and pants, and only one pants remained, and he was about to enter the bath. The man stopped him and said, "Don't go in with your pants on." ”

"The pants are buried, I want to wash them." Blackie couldn't tell him that there was a hidden pocket in his pants, and his passbook was in it.

When Blackie walked into the bath, he was greeted by a pool less than three meters long and two meters wide, with soap foam floating on the water. Next to it are several faucets, and below is a sink made of cement.

When Xiao Hei was at home, he often went to the bath where his father was located, where the pools were inlaid with tiles and next to a row of shower heads, compared with the humble bath in front of him, there was a difference between heaven and earth.

He took off his pants and placed them on the edge of the pool, where he could grab them, and the whole person was immersed in the water.

The water is not hot, and it is very comfortable to burn on the body.

Xiao Hei was lying in the pool, wondering why Boss Zhou was so good to him.

This is the first kind person Xiao Hei met when he left the Red House Hotel. On the premise of effectively protecting himself, he had to figure out what Boss Zhou's purpose was to be so enthusiastic about him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Hei didn't find an accurate answer, so he could only believe what Boss Zhou said for the time being, businessmen should accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and seek a wide range of wealth.

Xiao Hei's thinking is very clear, whether Boss Zhou is really accumulating virtue and doing good, or if he has another purpose, it depends on what Boss Zhou will do to him next.

If Boss Zhou wants to keep him, he has a good reason to refuse.

Because he has an appointment with Shi Liansheng, he must fulfill his promise.

Even if he didn't want to stay in the Shi family, he had to make it clear to Shi Liansheng that he had redoubled his efforts and fulfilled his original promise, and the two would never owe each other anything from now on.

Xiao Hei really didn't want to go back to the Shi family, but he couldn't stay with Boss Zhou for no reason.

Boss Zhou was very kind to him. Behind this friendliness, there must be a lurking motive for the mercenary of the businessman. Xiao Hei knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and people will not treat him well for no reason.

Xiao Hei is not very old and not deeply involved in the world, but he has his own code of conduct.

He was soaking in the pool for a while, and the man came in with a towel and soap and said, "I'll rub it for you." ”

Xiao Hei smiled.

He did not take a bath for more than three months and slept in a shack every day in his clothes and pants. When he soaked in the pool, he felt swollen all over his body, and it didn't take much time for him to rub his hand on his body, and a batch of granular things bubbled out of the water.

Xiao Hei came out of the pool, and the man blurted out, "The person is not big, but the guy is not small." ”

This is the most embarrassing and helpless thing for Xiao Hei. He went to the bath with his father and could often hear such exclamations.

The man is really hard enough, he turned it over and turned it over, and rubbed Xiao Hei in all aspects.

When Xiao Hei walked out of the bath with his pants, he was puzzled: "There are brand new clothes inside and outside outside, what are you doing with a torn pants." ”

Xiao Hei didn't explain, he opened his baggage, first took out the smelly passbook from his pants, stuffed it into his new clothes, and then dressed neatly, and went back to the room where he had slept.

The girl had already prepared a small pot of noodles in mixed soup for him. Shredded green vegetables and meat with eggs, Xiao Hei couldn't help but drool when he looked at it.

He never ate with regard to his image, and under the surprised gaze of the girl, he drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in the basin, burped and said, "It's so comfortable." ”

"The boss asked me to tell you that you can only stay in the house and tell me something." The girl finally spoke, and she left one last sentence saying, "Don't go out." ”

The girl left, and Xiao Hei lay on the kang and didn't feel sleepy anymore.

This does not rule out that he slept for a day and a night under the influence of alcohol, which caused him to be in high spirits.

The more important factor came from the fact that after Xiao Hei woke up, he was inexplicably cared for by Boss Zhou one after another, which led to the rapid activation of his defensive psychology and great worries about his real situation.

Xiao Hei turned off the light, lay down on the kang, and got up from time to time to look out.

When he left the room and went to the bath to take a bath, he deliberately observed his surroundings.

This is a large courtyard set, there is a row of store rooms facing north and south, the east store is the hotel, the west is the bath, the room he lives in is in the southwest of the compound, there is a steel pipe welded gate next to it, even the truck can enter at will.

Xiao Hei guessed that the owner of this courtyard should be Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou treated him well with food and drink, and gave him a new set of clothes, why did he specifically tell him not to go out.

It is to put him under house arrest.

Did he find my passbook? Thinking of this, Xiao Hei fought a cold war, then shook his head and denied the speculation.

If Boss Zhou finds out about this passbook and has bad intentions, he will definitely steal the passbook while he is asleep.

If it's not for this passbook, then why else?

Xiao Hei tossed and turned and couldn't understand, and finally simply sat up, got dressed, and went out for a walk.

He came to the door, listened attentively to the movement outside, and made sure that everyone around him was asleep, so he quietly opened the door, crept out of the room, and walked towards the courtyard door.

The deadbolt on the courtyard door was unlocked.

Xiao Hei pulled the bolt of the door and made a "squeak", he was startled, and looked back into the courtyard.

All the rooms in the courtyard, except for the easternmost room, were still lit, and the other rooms were turned off.

Xiao Hei opened the courtyard door and was about to walk out sideways, when he suddenly heard someone coughing behind him, he hurriedly retracted and hid in the shadows, looking for a voice.

A man emerges from a room with a light on. He coughed incessantly and walked into the corner, his legs spread apart, followed by a "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Xiao Hei stood there quietly, staring at the man.

After a while, the man ended the fight, shaking visibly a few times, and then coughing all the way back to the room.

Xiao Hei took advantage of the street lights outside the courtyard to look at this person's back, which seemed to be a little familiar.

This man was not tall, fat, and walked with his arms swaying, and his whole arm twisted and twisted.

Xiao Hei waited for this person to enter the house, trotted all the way over, stuck to the window, and looked into the house.

On a kang in the house, a set of bedding was laid on the kang head and the kang tip.

Boss Zhou was lying on the quilt of the kang head, elbows on the kang, and was smoking. The fat man who came out to relieve the toilet walked into the house, came directly to the kang tip, took off his shoes and put on the kang, and also got into the quilt.

The moment he turned around, Xiao Hei trembled again.

Binzi!

That's right, it's the stick bin of Shiqiao Village, a distant relative of Shi Liansheng.

Why is he here?

Blackie slowly stepped back, turned sharply and ran back to his room. A very poignant question came to mind: Could this be the reason why Boss Zhou didn't let him go out.
