Chapter 59: Separation
Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi in the rainstorm sang loudly there;
Fortunately, there is a torrential rain, otherwise Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi's ghost crying wolf howl song will not frighten the children of the surrounding neighbors, even if it will not frighten the children of the surrounding neighbors, it will also scare the flowers and plants on the side of the road;
If there is a rainstorm, no child will come out and run around in such a rainstorm, and the flowers and plants on the side of the road have been tossed enough by the rainstorm, and I can't hear or mind the sound of the ghost crying wolf;
walked to the fork in the road, not far from Tang Guiyi's collision;
"Which way?" Zhuang Feng asked;
"Go back to Shaozhou and do something for the young master;" Tang Guiyi responded to Zhuang Feng there;
"Well, yes, I'll give you a salary increase tomorrow;" Zhuang Feng joked;
"Then I'll go?" Tang Guiyi seemed to ask;
"Fuck off;" Zhuang Feng said;
"I'm really leaving;" Tang Guiyi confirmed again;
"Goodbye;" Zhuang Feng raised his hand and waved there;
Tang Guiyi didn't say anything more, and walked straight;
"Aren't you going back to Shaozhou?" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi still walking in their common direction;
Erzhishan is located at the junction of Jiangzhou and Shaozhou, and the road back to Shaozhou and back to Jiangzhou is naturally opposite, Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi's appearance and said there;
"With such heavy rain, should I walk back to Shaozhou on foot?" Tang Guiyi asked with a puzzled face;
"Hitchhike to the town ahead?" Zhuang Feng said puzzled;
"If I said that I actually know how to repair cars, would you beat me?" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's puzzled appearance, thought about it there, and asked seriously;
"No;" Zhuang Feng listened to Tang Guiyi's words, and also thought about it quite seriously, and then answered;
"Haha;" Listening to Zhuang Feng's answer, Tang Guiyi laughed with the others;
"Don't laugh, really not, if you don't believe it, you can come over and try it;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi very seriously, not infected by laughter, and still said like that;
"Let's go;" Tang Guiyi didn't pay attention to Zhuang Feng, and ran directly from Zhuang Feng's side;
Looking at Tang Guiyi's childlike appearance, Zhuang Feng followed with a smile;
Just a few minutes away, Tang Guiyi Zhuang Feng came to the place where Tang Guiyi crashed;
"Do you really know how to repair cars?" Zhuang Feng watched Tang Guiyi take out a toolbox from the car, and asked there quite puzzledly;
"Ten years, ten years of time is still different from the previous ones, for example, I have at least learned to repair cars in the past ten years;" Tang Guiyi fiddled with the toolbox there, and at the same time replied to Zhuang Feng's words;
"Ten years, I haven't learned anything;" Zhuang Feng listened to Tang Guiyi's half-joking words, and seemed to say with some emotion;
Yes, the village has always been upside down in the past ten years, but if you really want to learn any skills to work and survive, there is still such time;
However, Zhuang Feng did not learn anything, or did not study, and as he did ten years ago, he would be called nothing in the civilian world, and he belonged to the kind of people who had no education, no skills, and no work;
In the past ten years, Zhuang Feng has spent more time drunk and drunk, waiting for death with self-hatred;
Compared with Tang Guiyi, who also learned some work survival skills in the civilian world, Zhuang Feng is really a little useless, just like Zhuang Feng's body bones, he has become a waste snack;
"Come here, I'll teach you to repair the car now;" Tang Guiyi knew that Zhuang Feng was telling the truth, but he didn't pick up the stubble, and he didn't want to tell too much about the experience of those ten years;
"Okay;" Zhuang Feng listened to Tang Guiyi's obvious joke, and really came to Tang Guiyi's side, watching Tang Guiyi fiddle with the broken car that crashed;
"This hit the boulder, the hood is a little difficult to get, this, there, inside, on the side......" Tang Guiyi seemed to teach Zhuang Feng quite seriously;
Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi with a blank face, feeling quite depressed;
"Okay, let's try to light the fire;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi blankly and messed around there, and then it seemed to be repaired;
Zhuang Feng didn't answer Tang Guiyi's words, got into the car with him, and pretended to be crazy where to light the fire;
"Not a drop of reaction;" Zhuang Feng sat in the driver's seat, and roared while not moving;
"Wait a minute, let's see;" Tang Guiyi was a little puzzled, fiddled with it again, and then said again: "Try again;"
"Still no response;" Zhuang Feng continued to roar with the non-moving others;
"No, it should be possible;" Tang Guiyi said to himself with some confusion, and then shouted loudly: "Try again;"
"No response, is there any smoke in the car?" Zhuang Feng rummaged through the cigarettes, and did not touch the key with Ben;
"Yes, in the back pocket of the seat;" Tang Guiyi responded there, thought for a while and continued: "You come and see, I'll try;"
After speaking, Tang Guiyi walked out of the front of the car, and saw Zhuang Feng being swallowing clouds and fog there, but he didn't listen to him at all;
"Go up;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng, who was swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and said unceremoniously;
"It's better for me to come;" Zhuang Feng didn't move, with a cigarette in his mouth, his hand was on the key there, and he didn't move, and then said: "Look, is there no reaction;"
"You have to pull it out first, and then insert it in;" Tang Guiyi didn't see the movements of Zhuang Feng's hand clearly, and said there;
"Pull it out and insert it again?" Zhuang Feng continued to pretend to be crazy there;
"Yes;" Tang Guiyi said very seriously;
"Pulled out, inserted it, no response;" Zhuang Feng still looked very serious;
"Come again;" Tang Guiyi continued there;
"Pull it out, insert it in, pull it out, insert it in;" Zhuang Feng muttered to him;
"What about you chanting?" Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng chanting there, and said angrily;
"Is there no water, this one is pulled out and inserted in, there is no reaction, there is no wet, and if it is pumped and inserted again, it can be broken;" Zhuang Feng held a cigarette in his mouth, a serious look;
"Get out;" Tang Guiyi finally understood, Zhuang Feng was joking with him;
However, Tang Guiyi really didn't see that Zhuang Feng was joking, or even Tang Guiyi was a little vague, Zhuang Feng once had a serious ability to tell a joke as if it were true, this Tang Guiyi admitted that he couldn't do it;
"It's a bit of a reaction, if you don't drip a little oil, it's more slippery, and the reaction will come faster;" Zhuang Feng continued;
Although Zhuang Feng was still joking there, he lit the fire and the car started;
"It turns out that there is no water to plug in and react;" the vehicle ignited, and Zhuang Feng said a little more to it;
Regarding Zhuang Feng's joke, Tang Guiyi didn't know how to pick up this stubble;
"Let's get in the car;" Seeing that Tang Guiyi didn't speak, Zhuang Feng said while laughing happily there;
Tang Guiyi cleaned up, and then got in the car;
"Where are you going, I'll send you;" Tang Guiyi got into the car, and Zhuang Feng asked jokingly with the others;
"Trouble, master, Shaozhou;" Tang Guiyi said there after Zhuang Feng's joke;
"Okay, sit down;" Zhuang Feng said to a driver, and then drove away;
Walking to the place where Zhuang Feng crashed, Zhuang Feng stopped the car;
"Thank you, five hundred;" Zhuang Feng stopped and said there;
"No money, haha;" Tang Guiyi continued to talk there, and then got out of the car, carrying a toolbox to check Zhuang Feng's car;
Zhuang Feng also got out of the car and leaned over, looking at Tang Guiyi and the broken car that was fiddling with himself;
"This is the one I gave you?" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's car that was hit, and asked out loud;
"Yes;" Zhuang Feng replied affirmatively, standing beside him;
"The broken car that has been out of production for almost 20 years, why is it still parked;" Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's answer, fiddling with it, and said without raising his head;
This car is indeed the car that Tang Guiyi gave to Zhuang Feng, and before Zhuang Feng disappeared, it was specially sent to Ao Xiuzhi to be placed;
"I like it, what can you do;" Zhuang Feng said there;
"I'm not good, you can't repair this broken car, let's drench yourself;" Tang Guiyi replied to Zhuang Feng there;
"Come less, your broken car can be repaired, why can't mine?" Zhuang Feng didn't believe Tang Guiyi's words at all;
Yes, Tang Guiyi's broken car is exactly the same as Zhuang Feng's, and it can even be seen from the number that it is the same batch of factories;
This is also the two cars that Tang Guiyi bought that year, gave one to Zhuang Feng, and used one for himself, which is a commemoration of their first car;
"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to talk in a guest way?" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng and said seriously;
"Truth;" Zhuang Feng made a choice without hesitation;
"The truth is that our broken parts are the same, and it is even more coincidental that they have just been replaced in my car, so you can only throw them away;" Tang Guiyi said seriously;
"What about the guest talk?" Zhuang Feng continued;
"The guest saying is, this broken car, which has been out of production for almost 20 years, is difficult to find parts, and it takes time;" Tang Guiyi still looked serious;
"Why don't you swap them?" Zhuang Feng tentatively followed;
Tang Guiyi didn't answer Zhuang Feng's words, just packed up his tools, and then put them back in his car, and at the same time took out a few boxes of cigarettes in the car and threw them on Zhuang Feng's car;
Then he got into the car, lit the fire, turned around, and walked away;
Zhuang Feng quietly watched Tang Guiyi finish all this, and then walked away, with a dazed expression on his face;
Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng in the rainstorm from the rear vision, standing there in a daze, full of dazed appearance, laughing in the car, but did not look back, and walked straight away;
Tang Guiyi was not worried that Zhuang Feng would not be able to return to Jiangzhou, but they didn't like to say goodbye, so they could only separate in this way;
Zhuang Feng came back to his senses and smiled helplessly; yes, what Tang Guiyi thought in his heart, Zhuang Feng naturally knew, because he didn't like to say goodbye;
Tang Guiyi walked away, Zhuang Feng sat back in the car, lit a cigarette, and sat quietly;
Now Zhuang Feng has resolved the grievances that have been in his heart for ten years, and the brotherhood has also returned to his side; at this time, Zhuang Feng is still happy, and he doesn't think too much, just waiting here for someone to pass by and take a ride;
When Zhuang Feng's cigarette was not burned, a car finally came, but it came from the direction of Jiangzhou, and Zhuang Feng did not move;
Who would take a special ride on a passing day in this rainy day, and in this world, few people are willing to take a stranger even a hitchhiker;
When Zhuang Feng was thinking about some messy things, the car from the direction of Jiangzhou actually stopped next to Zhuang Windmill;
Zhuang Feng watched the incoming car stop, opened the door, and got down;
"Ye Tao?" Zhuang Feng said to the person who was extremely puzzled;
"Something happened in Jiangzhou;" Ye Tao didn't even have basic polite words, and just said out loud;
"What's going on?" Zhuang Feng looked at Ye Tao's anxious appearance and said aloud;
When Zhuang Feng was talking, he also opened the car door and got out of the car, and was about to get into Ye Tao's car, which stopped again, walked to his car window, took out a few boxes of cigarettes inside, and then went up to Ye Tao's car;
"He Xu rebels;" Ye Tao still looked anxious, answering Zhuang Feng's questions there;
"What?" Zhuang Feng listened to Ye Tao's words, and he didn't quite understand there;
He Xu Zhuang Feng knew it, but he didn't quite understand the statement that He Xu rebelled;
He Xu is a retainer of the older generation of the Zhuang family, and now it is past the year of the Mandate of Heaven.
After leaving the Zhuang compound, He Xu entered the Metropolitan Police Department and became a small patrolman;
Nearly 40 years have passed, and He Xu has also become a local official from the small patrol police officer of the year to the deputy department level of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department;
In today's Jinguo, the chief officials of each state and province are all sent by Jindu, and the deputies are served by locals; the advantage is that the chief officials can grasp the local situation more quickly, and the disadvantage is that these local deputies will also hold real power;
The vast majority of the local officials who were promoted in the local area were only in deputy positions, but in fact they controlled the real power of the local area, and the local people were exempted from being promoted to the deputy posts at the state and ministerial level.
In other words, as long as these deputy officials are brave or willing, they can completely let the chief officials sent by Jindu be elevated;
He Xu is a local official of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department;
With the difference between the Metropolitan Police Department and other officials, He Xu's power in Jiangzhou can be said to be extremely huge;
Before Zhuang Feng disappeared ten years ago, He Xu had not yet sat in the position of deputy director of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department, this position was earned by himself by relying on He Xu's years of network accumulation, and there was no help from Zhuang Feng;
In this way, when Zhuang Feng reappeared in Jiangzhou, he did not take this line; at the same time, Ao Xiuzhi also talked to Zhuang Feng about He Xu, and when it came to He Xu's loyalty to Zhuang Feng, it may not be too high;
For this reason, Zhuang Feng also asked Ao Xiuzhi to help solve He Xu's loyalty problem;
Generally speaking, for people who have lost their loyalty, a family like the Zhuang family will generally have only one result, which is very simple and straightforward;
But Zhuang Feng really needed the help of all the forces in He Xu's position in that situation, so Zhuang Feng did not choose to get rid of He Xu, but chose to let He Xu go further;
At this time, Zhuang Feng and Hu Jia reached an agreement to let He Xu, a local official, take a seat and become the main hall of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department;
Such a result is satisfactory to both Zhuang Feng and He Xu;
Originally, the so-called local officials were only the position of the deputy in the end, and nine out of ten would not be corrected; however, people want more, of course He Xu also wants to break the confinement and become a person outside the ninety-nine out of ten, and sit in the main hall of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department;
Zhuang Feng and He Xu reached an agreement, Zhuang Feng made He Xu the main hall of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department, although it was only temporary, and the official appointment of Hu Jia could not be the master, but He Xu was also satisfied;
The thing traded is He Xu's loyalty, and He Xu naturally promised it, after all, He Xu never expressed his intention to rebel, but he was just not very obedient;
It is precisely because of He Xu's loyalty, whether it seems or is sincere, the Metropolitan Police Department will not trouble Zhuang Feng anyway, which is also able to make He Li and Zhao Yi do it freely, or that all the things Zhuang Feng does in Jiangzhou without the interference of the Metropolitan Police Department are thanks to the loyalty of Zhuang Feng and He Xu;
Zhuang Feng and He Xu get along on an equal footing and use each other, which can be regarded as a great joy;
Now Ye Tao suddenly said that He Xu had rebelled, which made Zhuang Feng a little unclear for a while;
Could it be that there are still people who can give He Xu more? This Zhuang Feng has not yet understood;
Just when Zhuang Feng was a little puzzled there, Ye Tao continued to speak;
"He Xu, Jia Hongde and Wu Hui don't know how to get together, three bells ago attacked the Metropolitan Dynasty and Nanyuan at the same time;" Ye Tao looked at Zhuang Feng's somewhat puzzled appearance, and continued;
"Hua'er Ajie, how are they?" Zhuang Feng listened to Ye Tao's words, and understood it, and his first reaction was whether he hurt anyone;
"Meng Yuanhua, Liu Jie, Zeng Jianping, Zheng Shanxiaoyu, Zhao Yi, Wang Puhong, Zheng Xingbing, are fine, Shu Mingbo, Gai Hongtao, and the other twenty-three brothers are all dead;" Ye Tao said with some caution;
Ye Tao knows the young master of his family too well, Zhuang Feng is a little different from the other family masters, as far as Ye Tao knows, in other families in Jinguo, it is inconsequential to kill a few guards, of course, there will naturally be revenge for the sake of face;
But for Zhuang Feng, the dead man is Zhuang Feng's taboo, Zhuang Feng does not regard the guards as subordinates like others, but more of brotherhood;
Ye Tao knew Zhuang Feng, so when he talked about casualties, he was a little cautious, for fear that Zhuang Feng would be angry on the spot;
"Call me;" Zhuang Feng didn't get angry on the spot, after listening to Ye Tao's words, he seemed to be used to finding something in his pocket, but he didn't find it, thinking that the phone was put in the clothes and hung on the bamboo girl, so he said to the person there expressionlessly;
Ye Tao was not relieved that Zhuang Feng was not angry on the spot, but sighed in his heart that someone was going to be unlucky, and while thinking about it, he took out the phone and handed it to Zhuang Feng;
With Ye Tao's understanding of Zhuang Feng, if Zhuang Feng was angry on the spot, the result would be much easier than Zhuang Feng's expressionless calmness;
The more expressionless silence Zhuang Feng is, the more intense his anger will be;
"Hua'er, are you okay?" Zhuang Feng called Meng Yuanhua, and he could hear how excited Meng Yuanhua was when he heard his voice over there;
"Seventh brother, where are you, is there anything wrong? You don't listen to the phone, I'm in a hurry;" Meng Yuanhua said to the other end of the phone, his words were obviously a little excited, and he even cried;
"It's okay, I'm staying with Ye Tao now; I didn't listen to the phone, it was dropped, I'm fine;" Zhuang Feng listened to Meng Yuanhua's somewhat crying words, and his heart was also quite moved;
Compared with the emotions that no one has cared about in the past ten years, of course, it is Zhuang Feng's own fault, and Zhuang Feng himself is unwilling to contact others;
However, now that he feels the feeling of being cared for, it does make Zhuang Feng feel quite comfortable;
"That's good, we're in the Xicheng shoe factory now, what should we do next?" Meng Yuanhua calmed down a little there, and said the situation in front of him;
"You stay there first, and then I'll talk about it when I come back;" Zhuang Feng thought for a moment and responded to Meng Yuanhua;
At this time, Zhuang Feng had not returned to Jiangzhou, just listening to Ye Tao's simple words, Zhuang Feng could not make a clear decision, and could only let Meng Yuanhua and them wait first;
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, but you have to come back soon;" Meng Yuanhua confirmed that Zhuang Feng was fine, and said with some longing there;
"Come back soon and have dinner together in the evening;" Zhuang Feng understood Meng Yuanhua's feelings, and said there as usual;
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back;" Meng Yuanhua responded to Zhuang Feng;
"It's okay, I'll be back soon;" Zhuang Feng said in the same tone as usual;
"Okay, hang up;" Meng Yuanhua continued with the conversation;
"Hmm;" Zhuang Feng replied, and then hung up the phone;
Hung up the phone, Zhuang Feng lit a cigarette, and called Ao Xiuzhi again; although Zhuang Feng knew that Ye Tao was sent by Ao Xiuzhi to pick him up, and also watched Ye Tao confirm Ao Xiuzhi after receiving Zhuang Feng, Zhuang Feng still dialed Ao Xiuzhi's phone;
"Boss, how is the business?" the phone was connected, and Zhuang Feng said jokingly;
"It's not good, business is not good, this is not an employee strike;" Ao Xiuzhi on the other end of the phone listened to Zhuang Feng's familiar words, and also jokingly said there;
"If you dare to strike, you don't want to do it, you will be fired, and see who else dares to strike;" Zhuang Feng said pretending to be there;
"It's okay;" Ao Xiuzhi didn't continue to joke with Zhuang Feng, and said quite seriously there;
"It's okay, I'll be back soon;" Zhuang Feng certainly understood Ao Xiuzhi's mood, and he stopped joking with it, and said quite seriously;
"Well, hang up;" Ao Xiuzhi confirmed that Zhuang Feng was okay, and did not say anything more;
"Hmm;" Zhuang Feng replied and hung up the phone;
Zhuang Feng probably also knew that this prominent situation now made Ao Xiuzhi quite annoyed;
Ao Xiuzhi was the one in charge of the intelligence, but he didn't find out what was going on in advance, or He Xu and they only reacted there after they did it, which made Ao Xiuzhi extremely annoyed, and he was stepping up his investigation there;
After Zhuang Feng hung up the phone, he habitually lit a cigarette and burned quietly with the ground;
