When I left the house, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the bright moonlight shone on the village, making the whole village as bright as daylight. Occasionally, a few screams of crickets came, adding a bit to this peaceful small village. Country style.
Standing at the door, I raised my eyes and looked around. What I could see was a room, a person, a tree and a tree. They were not as realistic as the day, but they were hazy and gave people a dreamlike feeling.
"Huh!" I exhaled heavily. Everything Xu Jianguo said just now was too shocking. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes or heard it with my own ears, I would hardly dare to think it was true.
Then Qin Lao San saw that I was stunned and didn't leave, so he asked me, "Chuanzi, where are we going now?"
I did not speak.
He said again: "I'll wipe it, you don't really want to go to Xu Lao San's house to see it!"
I still didn't speak.
He was a little anxious, and said: "Let me tell you Chuanzi, now that the three brothers of the Xu family have escaped in fear of sin, we don't have to work for him anymore, besides, we have now received 50,000 yuan, which is considered ours. It's paid."
I uttered, still not speaking, thinking in my heart, whether to stay or leave.
If I say staying, I don't know if I can deal with what I will face next, but once I leave, it means that I have completely said goodbye to this matter.
These two thoughts entangled in my mind for a while. In my heart, I want to leave, but I vaguely feel that this matter is related to me.
And the reason why I think so is because of the palm prints and the bubbles on the back. Last night, I checked those hand prints and bubbles. The situation became more and more serious. Especially the palm prints have gradually changed from the original black to dark. It's black, faintly shiny, and the tips of the bubbles have condensed into pus.
Qin Lao San saw that I still didn't speak, and urged again, "Chuanzi, you are talking, do you want to leave or stay?"
I glanced at him and said, "You go!"
"How about you?" he asked.
I said, I want to stay, he asked me the reason, I don't know how to tell him, so I told him roughly, the master asked me to deal with this matter, there should be a reason.
He heard what I said, thought about it, and said something that surprised me. He said: "Since you stay, I will stay too."
I couldn't believe what I heard, so I said, "Lao San Qin, you are not crazy! You are the only kind of magic stick, and you will dig your own grave."
He said: "Chuanzi, let me tell you the truth! Brother has experienced too much in this life, don't look at the person I wear now. Once I take off this skin, no one will look at me, you Do you know what the people in our village call me? My name is Qin Mouse. Everyone yells and scolds."
When he said this, his tone was very slow, but I heard a little bit like to laugh. Once he was exposed, he was indeed a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouted and yelled.
He should have seen through my thoughts, and said: "I know you look down on me, but what can I do? I have no craftsmanship and no ability. Apart from cheating, what do I use to pay my sister's tuition, and what else do I take? To support my parents, I...I..."
As he said, his expression shrank, and he continued: "But after meeting you, the situation is different. You have real abilities. From now on, I dare to tell others that I can solve some wicked things and I don’t have to bear God. That’s the name of the stick. So, I decided to follow you in the future. However, there are some things we have to talk about first, and the money we make in the future will be equal to three or seven, and I will be three or seven."
I stared at him for a while. I thought this guy was a bit loyal, but when I heard the last sentence, I was also drunk, but I still nodded and said: "Okay! I'm seven and three."
"It's a deal!" He reached out to me, meaning to shake hands.
I thought for a while, stretched out my hand and shook it with him, and said, "It's a deal!"
After a long time, he broke up, and he said: "Chuanzi, we will be real partners in the future. You have to watch me for some things. Don't let me die too early. I have to support the family!"
I glanced at him for nothing, and said: "Okay, I see. By the way, you go to the town to find the Xiaozhuo policeman first, and let him bring some people over."
"Why do you lead someone?" he said.
I looked at Xu Laosan’s new house and said quietly: “I vaguely feel that there is something in Xu Laosan’s house. There are policemen present. Some things are easier to deal with.”
"I went to town, what about you?" He asked me.
Without even thinking about it, I said, "What else can I do? Of course, it's Xu Laosan's new house."
"No, if something happens to you alone, no one knows. Let's find Xiaozhuo policeman in town together, and celebrate by the way." Then, Qin Lao San didn't care if I agreed with me. No, dragged me and walked towards the town.
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, and had no choice but to follow his instructions and go to the town, mainly because I went to the new house of Xu Lao San by myself, and I had no idea.
On the road, because it was night, there were few motorcycles. I waited for half an hour before I met a motorcycle. To say that Qin Laosan was also very treacherous, because the motorcycle was originally not. Those who were willing to pull us both said it was not going the way.
But Qin Laosan told the motorcycle driver that the driver’s Yintang was black, his eyes were dull, his lips were black, and that a catastrophe was coming. He also said that things must have been going wrong with the driver recently, and that meeting him was a good luck. He was given a piece of talisman to let people soak the talisman in boiling water for three hours, and then drink it at 8 o'clock in the morning the next day.
I stared at the driver at that time, where was the Yintang turned black, and his eyes were blank. The driver clearly looked like he had just woken up. One thing I was curious about was how Qin Laosan knew that things were going wrong with the driver recently.
Afterwards, Qin Laosan told me righteously that it was the driver who rode a motorcycle in the middle of the night. He must have been in trouble, otherwise, who would choose to ride a motorcycle out at this time unless the person bluffed.
But then again, when the driver heard what Qin Laosan said, he was stunned and believed. Not only did he send us to the town, but he confiscates the money and didn’t say anything. Instead, he gave Qin Laosan a hundred yuan. To Qin Lao San, I was grateful and sighed that I met a living god.
After the driver left, Qin Laosan raised the hundred-yuan bill in his hand and said, "Chuanzi, what do you think of Brother's ability?"
I ignored him, and he said: "Since we said it was good, we are partners. For this one hundred dollars, I will divide you seventy dollars."
As he said, he took out a handful of change from his pocket and counted it. He stuffed me seven ten-yuan bills and said, "Brother talks and counts. We will be grasshoppers on the same boat from now on. "
I thought this guy was very righteous. After many years, I understood a truth. I used a long line to catch a big fish. Qin Laosan was the old man fishing, and I was the big fish in his eyes. Because of this behavior, for many years. Later, he made a lot of money from me.
However, life is like this. If two strangers want to get together, the first thing that lies in front of them is interest, and only interest can pull the two strangers tightly together.
It seems cruel, but it is very realistic.
