Winter is coming, and I have changed into thick winter clothes. Seeing that this year is about to pass again. One night, King Kong Cannon came to me again, and the first sentence surprised me, "Old Yu, I'm going to be discharged from the army!"

"Why?" I asked.

"Enough is enough, I don't want to be. "Today's King Kong Cannon doesn't look very energetic.

"Pull it down, I don't know you yet, let you take off your military uniform, it's tantamount to killing you. "King Kong Cannon has always been proud of this military uniform. He always thought that he looked more elegant in military uniform than in civilian clothes. Even though he wore that uniform was number three.5

The guy kept his head down and kept silent.

"Why, you say. I urged.

"My family called me a few days ago, and my dad was helping people to beat stones in Shiwozi, and several of his fingers were blown off when he fired the cannon. I didn't take any leave, I didn't go back. "Seeing him sad, I also felt helpless. It seems that this guy is still a little filial.

"Old Yu, we can't earn a lot of money in the army, even if we become a non-commissioned officer, our monthly salary is only four or five hundred yuan, which is not enough. I can't compare with you, my family is poor, and my dad is like this now, can I not go back?"

"Don't you have two older brothers? don't they work, don't they earn money?" I often heard him talk about his family, and I knew that he had two older brothers.

The last thing I expected happened, the King Kong Cannon, who had always been a big mental leader, actually cried, "Old Yu, you don't know a lot of things, in fact, my two brothers are Biaozi." (Biaozi is our dialect here, which means fool, dementia.) ）

"What's going on?" I asked with concern.

"My dad is my mom's cousin. King Kong Cannon cried.

What kind of relationship is this? After thinking about it, I finally figured it out: close relatives get married.

It's no wonder that King Kong Cannon always gives people a feeling that there are few strings in their brains. It turns out that his father and mother are close relatives and married. If he can have such an IQ, he can be regarded as burning high incense.

I sighed, not knowing what to say to comfort him. He pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, and for the first time I handed him the cigarette, the guy didn't take it. "Have you found a place to work?" I asked.

"Not yet, let's go back and talk about it, I've already handed in the discharge application. "Due to the relationship between the branches, our minimum service period is five years, and we need to submit an application for retirement before five years.

"Otherwise, let's find Mr. Yang and see if he can help you find a better job here. "I suddenly remembered Mr. Yang.

"Will it work?" the adamantine looked up.

"I'll help you ask when I find the time. "To be honest, I really don't want this good buddy. If Mr. Yang can help, I still hope that the King Kong Cannon can be closer to me.

Sending away the listless Niu King Kong, I have mixed feelings in my heart, I have always thought I am careful, but how can I not find that there is so much pain and pressure hidden behind his Madaha-like happiness. No, I must help him, I made up my mind.

The next day after breakfast, I called Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang's enthusiasm surprised me, and before I mentioned the work of the King Kong Cannon, he strongly invited me to go out for dinner in the evening, I wanted to refuse, and I thought about taking the opportunity to talk about the work after the King Kong Cannon retired, so I reluctantly agreed.

In the evening, Mr. Yang's phone called me and asked me for my address to send a car to pick me up, but I was not polite. I said the name of a neighborhood that was closer to our troops. Then came the sapper detachment called the King Kong Cannon. As soon as I pushed the door of his dormitory, my gloomy mood immediately changed 180 degrees. It turned out that this guy was playing a poker game called "Hand One" with his comrades, and the loser put a note on his face according to the number of losing cards. This guy didn't know if it was a little back or a horizontal rot, the white note on his face almost covered his eyes, and he was shouting and commanding a recruit next to him.

When he saw me coming, he pointed to a nearby bed and motioned for me to sit down. I shook my head and hooked my hand at him and called him out: "Mr. Yang, please let us eat, change our clothes and go." ”

"When?" he pulled the white note off his face, revealing his eyes.

"Now, they've sent all the cars, hurry up. I urged.

"You wait for me for a while, I'll wash my face," the guy said, and ran to the scrubbing room. I turned around and walked out of his dorm room, smoking a cigarette outside and waiting for him.

After a while, the guy ran out of breath, "Okay, let's go." ”

"You change your clothes, you're sick in the head, wearing a camouflage uniform?" the guy came out in a camouflage suit from training.

"I don't have winter casual clothes"

It seems that the life of King Kong Cannon is indeed not as good as I imagined, and the five-yuan cigarette will not be smoked when I come back from my hometown, except for a set of casual clothes in summer, and the rest is only training uniforms and camouflage uniforms.

"Okay, make do, you take off the epaulettes for me," I told him as I walked, "Go and talk less." Look at my eyes. ”

"Okay, listen to you. King Kong Cannon nodded as he removed his epaulettes.

When I got to the place I said, the BMW was already parked there. Seeing the two of us coming, the car door opened, and a young man came down. I saw that it was the person who sent the mobile phone into the private room that night, and it seemed that it should be Mr. Yang's driver.

"Mr. Yang asked me to pick you up," the young man smiled and walked over to me and stretched out his hand. When I shook hands, I was thinking, listening to the driver's meaning, Mr. Yang was afraid that he didn't expect the King Kong Cannon to go, how embarrassing it would be to go without a seat.

I got into the car in a hurry, and the car turned around and dizzy, and then I stopped in front of a hotel. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for us. This hotel is more luxurious and imposing than the one we went to last time. The four huge gilded books of "Emgrand Building" are particularly dazzling under the neon lights. I have heard of the Emgrand Building, which is the only five-star foreign-related hotel in the city.

Accompanied by the driver, we nervously entered the hall, and Mr. Yang was already waiting for us in the hall. Mr. Yang was full of red light and in good spirits. Greeted me warmly. After a period of greetings, Mr. Yang led us into the elevator, and I stood behind Mr. Yang with King Kong Gun. I didn't squint, King Kong Cannon looked left and right, and finally sneakily pointed to Mr. Yang's head for me to see. When I looked up, I saw that Mr. Yang had a lot of fine hair growing on the top of his bald head.

The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and the door was pushed to enter one of the private rooms. I saw a pot-bellied old man in his sixties sitting next to the huge revolving wine table. There is no figure of the beautiful woman surnamed Li, it is estimated that her belly is big, and it is inconvenient to go out, I secretly guessed.

When he saw us come in, the old man stood up politely and looked at me and the King Kong Cannon with a blank face. I turned my head to look at Mr. Yang with an inquiring gaze.

"Let me introduce first, this is Mr. Wang," Mr. Yang pointed to the old man.

"These are the two little masters I mentioned to you. Mr. Yang pointed at me and King Kong Cannon again. "By the way, little brother, I still don't know what your name is?" Mr. Yang asked by the way.

"My name is Niu King Kong!" King Kong Cannon is still King Kong Cannon, the practice of spells can't change his IQ, as soon as he heard people's questions, he immediately came to a bamboo tube to pour beans. I looked at the King Kong Cannon, turned around and said with a smile: "My surname is Yu, call me less than good." ”

The guest and the host are in place, and it is still the same set. The strange dishes were on the table, I basically couldn't name them, the only one I recognized was a kind of soup made by fans, and later I realized that I was mistaken, it was shark fin.

The atmosphere of today's banquet is not as good as the last time, and I and King Kong Cannon have both worries, and we are not in the mood to eat at all. And the pot-bellied old man, with a tense face all night, as if we owed him a lot of money. But the strange thing is that Mr. Yang seems to be very respectful to this old man.

During this time, the Vajra Cannon gently touched me, "Old Yu, there is a dark blue qi next to this old man's main qi, what does that matter?" Although the Vajra Cannon has obtained the method of cultivation, he does not know how to learn and use it. Asking me if I don't understand is a habit.

I picked up the water cup and pretended to drink it, "That's the qi of the auxiliary!"

King Kong Cannon wanted to ask a question, but I stopped him with my eyes. In fact, the so-called auxiliary qi is commonly known as official qi. If I'm not mistaken, this unremarkable old man should be a big official.

Just when I wanted to ask Mr. Yang if he could help King Kong Cannon arrange a job in the local area, Mr. Yang took the lead in speaking: "Less, we are not outsiders, I still want to ask you for help with something, I have thought about it for a long time, and only you can help me." That's why I don't take the liberty of it. "Mr. Yang snorted.

Because I have a request for others, although I am very impatient in my heart, I still opened my mouth: "Mr. Yang, what is the matter? I will help if I can, and don't be surprised if I can't. ”

"That's right, a distant cousin of mine got a strange disease some time ago for some reason, usually like a good person, but always running out alone in the middle of the night. ”

"Damn, a woman runs out in the middle of the night, such a disease is underbeaten. I muttered to myself

"Where is she going?" I asked. If this girl is going to a hotel, a hotel, a dance hall. No one can cure such a disease.

"I ran to a primary school at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and for the first time, I ran away from my family and looked for it everywhere, and I finally found it there. Later, when I saw that there was no one, I went to the elementary school to look for it, and it was there. Mr. Yang stopped and took a saliva.

Hearing Qinglong Mountain, I couldn't help but look at the King Kong Cannon. "What is she doing there?" King Kong Cannon couldn't help but ask.

"That elementary school was abandoned more than a decade ago, and she went and did nothing but sit in front of a classroom. ”

"Will she come back with you when you find her?" I wanted to get the details.

Mr. Yang didn't speak this time, and turned his head to look at the pot-bellied old man.

"When others get close to her, they fight, and the strength is surprisingly great. Only when her father went did she come back. Old man Wang, who had not spoken all night, coughed and opened his mouth, obviously with the style of a leader's speech, which made me more convinced of my observation.

Speaking of which, I already have a number in my heart. I smoked and lit a cigarette, stared at the old man for a long time, and then turned my head to Mr. Yang and said: "Mr. Yang, there is no doubt about employing people, no suspicion is needed, since you want to ask me for help, you shouldn't hide anything from me" I have a fire in my heart, so I didn't use "please" but unceremoniously used "ask".

"Little brother, where did you start talking about this, what am I hiding from you?" Mr. Yang was still sloppy with me.

"The woman you're talking about isn't your cousin at all. I said as I stood up and pointed very impolitely at the old man surnamed Wang, "It's your daughter." ”

As soon as I said this, there was silence. It was just cold

After a long time, it was the old man Wang who opened his mouth first, "Little brother, don't be angry, sit down and listen to me first." ”

Oh mom, that's what I'm waiting for, if you don't open your mouth, my legs are about to go numb. So I sat back in the upholstered chair.

"Little brother, why do you say that?" asked the old man Wang, looking into my eyes. In general, during a social conversation, both partners will politely look at each other's lips. It's rude to look into the other person's eyes. Old man Wang's gaze made me feel very unpleasant.

"You say it first, don't you?" I asked without answering. No matter how big an official you are, what does it matter to me, and now the fact is that you have a request for me. I know the situation very well.

Who knew that Old Man Wang didn't pick up my stubble, but said to him, "Xiao Yang mentioned you to me a few days ago, and as soon as I heard that you were young men in their twenties, I didn't think much of you. But now it seems that it's really better to be famous than to meet. ”

I felt even more impatient when I saw this situation, if it wasn't for the work of King Kong Cannon, how would I have time to accompany you people to talk nonsense. The only way to end this unpleasant feast early is to show you two old things a good job.

Thinking of this, I extinguished the cigarette in my hand, picked up the teapot and poured a shallow cup, then leaned back and said: "The first time we met today, I didn't drink alcohol, so I replaced the wine with tea and toasted Mr. Wang." As he spoke, his fingers secretly condensed the imperial magic under the table, and with the few spiritual energy stored in the dantian, he controlled the small teacup to rise in the air, and slowly moved towards Old Man Wang.

Old man Wang frowned and did not speak.

"Special function!" Mr. Yang exclaimed

"Old Yu, your Imperial Weapon Technique is so powerful?" This sentence must have been said by King Kong Cannon.

Seeing that the old man Wang with an incredulous face did not pick up the teacup, I pinched the magic trick and put the cup next to the old man's chopsticks. Then he sat and tried to calm the chaotic breath in his body. I don't have the power to control something as big as a teacup now, even though I've only poured half a cup of tea beforehand. Today's reluctance really makes me very uncomfortable.

"Real people don't show their faces. Old man Wang spoke. This person is not simple, in other words, many people tend to have a pause in their thinking when they encounter a phenomenon that they can't accept, and this old man came back to his senses almost as soon as I put down the teaglass.

"Mr. Wang, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a state official," I reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in my heart and reluctantly opened my mouth.

When the old man Wang heard this, he finally showed a shocked look. "Little brother, I don't hide anything anymore, as you said, it's my little daughter who has a problem. If the little brother can help me this time, Wang will definitely have a thick (later) report. ”

I don't know if this old man is talking about good or late news, but in my heart I would prefer him to say the former. If it is reported later, I may not know which year or month it will be waiting for.

"Then you have to tell us what happened, and I have to discuss it with my brother. I pointed to the King Kong Cannon who was sitting next to me and had been treated like a waste by them.

Only then did the old man tell him what happened to his daughter. It turned out that Old Man Wang was an important figure in the Provincial Department of Finance, and he had two daughters under his knees. The eldest daughter is more than ten years older than the younger daughter and has already been married. The youngest daughter is a reporter for a TV station, and because her work requires frequent contact with people of all shapes and sizes, she often goes to some hidden alleys. Therefore, how to get the strange disease, Wang Lao can't say clearly. Originally, everything was normal, but for some reason, the youngest daughter suddenly fell ill half a year ago. At the beginning, I always locked myself in my room to write and draw, and after I finished writing, I tore it and burned it after I finished painting. So no one knows what is written, what is drawn. Later, I didn't write or paint, I just sat still, and then I started to run out, not running at other times, and running at three watches in the middle of the night. Every time, I ran to the abandoned elementary school. Every time, Wang Lao has to go in person to pull it back, and it doesn't matter if others go to fart. So it's been more than half a year. Wang Lao has been tormented by the nervous breakdown of his precious daughter. I went to all the major hospitals in the provincial capital, and I also went to Beijing and Shanghai several times, and in the end the diagnosis was depression. I took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. Later, there was really no way, Wang Lao was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and secretly invited a few monks. But who knows that it's okay if you don't invite her, his little daughter saw that the monk was even more sick, and she was biting indiscriminately with red eyes, and the little weak woman was surprisingly strong at this time. A few monks hugged their heads, and one of them was bitten by her on her bald head, and it is estimated that this unlucky monk will not be able to see anyone without a hat in the future. Just when Mr. Wang had nothing to do, Mr. Yang, who often received extra care from him, heard the news and recommended me to Mr. Wang.

After listening to Wang Lao's narration, I frowned and thought for a long time, according to Wang Lao's description, his daughter's situation was probably caused by some evil spirit. As for what, it's hard to say at the moment. Just when I was frowning and thinking deeply, Mr. Yang said to me, "Less, let's go down and order another fish" I understood that he had something to say, so I got up and followed him out of the private room.

Mr. Yang took me to a secluded place, took out a small book like a receipt from his jacket pocket, brushed it a few times, tore two and handed it to me, "Less, these are two 50,000 bank cashier's checks, you must help with Director Wang's affairs." It's really cured, and I still have a lot of thanks. ”

Damn, this unsurprising old man turned out to be the head of the hall. I looked at the two cashier's checks in Mr. Yang's hand, and I didn't accept them, and I didn't accept them. If you accept it, it's the same as receiving a deposit, no matter what kind of thing Director Wang's daughter was rushed by, we both have to bite the bullet. If it's a mountain spirit ghost, it's okay to say, with the help of the cadre and Jiuyang, I'm still a little sure, this is more powerful, I can't take my life on the line. But if you don't accept it, this is 100,000 yuan, enough for me and King Kong Cannon to smoke "five yuan" for a lifetime, and there is a half-dead father and two demented brothers in King Kong Cannon there. These 100,000 can change the fate of a family. I really hesitated for a while, and finally slowly reached out and took the promissory note in Mr. Yang's hand.

Now that I think about it, reform and opening up is indeed of great significance to social progress and the prosperity and strength of the country. But it has also made the thinking of my generation fixed on the omnipotence of money. At that time, although I was wearing a military uniform, my heart was not noble. I've always believed that money can change everything, and if it can't, it's because it's not enough.

But at that time, I didn't know that for the sake of Mr. Yang's 100,000 yuan, I almost made a monstrous mistake and caused eternal hatred. I also didn't expect that in order to make up for this mistake, I spent nearly ten years, waving the nine yang dusts to trespass into Kunlun, holding the ancient sword three to Jiuhua, borrowing the qi of the five mountains to view the world, and relying on the qi to rebel against yin and yang!
