"Is this enough? No, no, this cash is only more than 2,000. I think it's disgusting. You have to hold this card. There is a lot of money in the card. You can use it." When saying goodbye, Qinhuai's reaction was not sad. Instead, he kept stuffing money into me. He emptied his own pockets and Uncle He's pockets and still didn't think it was enough, so he insisted on stuffing the card into me.
In fact, I have money. I made some money during the preparation days. In addition to the cost of the operation being handed over to Cheng Yuan to prepare, I also have a lot left. I just don’t dare to use my bank card because I don’t dare. It is guaranteed that no matter how powerful that organization is, whether it is so powerful that the amount on my bank card has changed, they will be able to detect it.
I returned the card to Qinhuai and said: "Maybe I won't stay in the city for too long, so it's useless to hold so much money. What I have is enough. If it's not enough, a phone call , you and Surou will both find ways to get money for me, right?"
"I'm afraid that we will also be monitored. It's not that convenient." Qinhuai lowered his head, and suddenly there was some sadness in his eyes. This kid was worried about my situation, and the emotion of parting finally came to his heart.
When he grows up and reaches this age, he is destined to be restrained in all aspects and cannot fool around with me or take risks with me like he did when he was young. Although he really wants to, he is powerless. Maybe he can wait to marry Ruyue, who is already His family was the most tolerant of him.
"Let's talk about it then. If it doesn't work out, I'm going to find Jiang Yi. If you give me a card to make me feel like I'm being taken care of, you'd better keep it." I teased as casually as I could.
"The guy who shot you a few times? Brother, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely use him as a target for practice, and give him a chance to taste the taste of bullets if he doesn't hit the vital point." Qinhuai gritted his teeth. Speaking of.
The words "brother, I" are quite kind. I patted Qinhuai on the shoulder and said, "Maybe he did this for my own good. You go back and don't worry about me. There is a lot of money. More than two thousand was enough to feed the family for two months (in 2001), so I left."
After saying that, I opened the car door, jumped out of the car, turned around and left without allowing Qinhuai to speak.
There was no sound of the engine behind me for a long time, but in front of me was a patch of dim sunshine behind my sunglasses. I was carrying my luggage alone, walking in this completely unfamiliar city and unfamiliar streets, and the people around me were saying unfamiliar things. dialect... .
Aren't they all the same? My expression is calm, just like many years ago when I left Sichuan on that drizzling morning, when I left Beijing on that morning with light snow, and when I left Uncle Wang, the noisy train carriage was just like that day, When Master left, tears shone in his eyes. I could no longer wait and was forced to accept the farewell.
They are all forced to accept it, but I have forgotten or dare not touch the dream that I have always had, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, a small courtyard, my family, my master, and Ruxue living happily together. Three or five friends often Gathering together is the most heartwarming fireworks in the world.
Feeling such a mood, I walked striding forward, just like I had said goodbye many times. I had become accustomed to not looking back, and I didn’t dare to look back. I passed a corner without knowing it, and I believe Qinhuai could not be seen either. I stopped. I leaned against a wall casually, a little tired, and stayed in a daze for a while.
After that, I didn’t know what I was going to do or where I was going. This was the first time I was so confused in a strange city, but thinking that the department had said someone would pick me up, I took it easy.
I walked aimlessly, eating something on the street when I was hungry, and sitting for a while when I was tired. Until evening came, no one contacted me, and I walked through most of the city without knowing it. I couldn't walk anymore, so I just found a small hotel where I didn't need to register my ID card and stayed.
I wanted to maintain a good attitude and not sink into this lonely wandering feeling, so after entering the small hotel, I went to wash up briefly, use the method of contemplation to empty my mind, and then throw myself away. Got to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't have the habit of bed recognition. Even in a small hotel with poor conditions, I slept very well. Of course, it can be said that I was numb. I was not in a good mood until I was woken up by a knock on the door in the middle of the night.
I sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and my first reaction was to calm down and feel whether I was in danger, and then I smiled bitterly. In this kind of wandering, the only thing I could rely on was my spiritual sense.
Fortunately, my mind was calm and I didn't have any bad feelings, so I got up and opened the door to whoever knocked on the door.
Standing at the door was a man who looked like he had come to work from the countryside. When he saw my honest smile, he said to me in Mandarin with a heavy accent: "There are no beds in the multi-person room. It is cheaper for you to live in this three-person room, so I will Came to live here.”
I silently let him in. This is the case in small hotels that do not register ID cards. They often have mixed rooms. In fact, I wanted to get a single room, but there was no one here, so I had to make do.
The man was not a talkative person. After entering the room, he chatted with me for a few words. Seeing how sleepy I looked, he went to wash himself and then fell asleep.
During the night, he snored loudly, and after tossing and turning for a while, I finally got used to it and fell into sleep, speechless all night.
When I woke up the next morning, it was already past 7 o'clock in the morning. The man in the bed next to me seemed to have left, but when I turned over to get up, I found a note next to my pillow.
I picked up the note and looked at it, and found that it only had a simple and unfamiliar address written on it, and there was no more unnecessary nonsense.
I held the note and was silent for a while. Although my expression was calm, my mood was ups and downs. I never expected that the man yesterday was actually my contact person. What does it mean that the department kept things secret to this extent
Feeling a little irritable, I lit a cigarette, burned the note in my hand, washed it away with water, and opened the curtains in the room. I found that it was another gloomy weather today, so late autumn is a season that I cannot love.
Or sunshine, or rain, can't we be more direct? Why are you always so gloomy
With such inexplicable complaints, I packed up, left the small hotel here, found a place to have breakfast, and asked the locals about the address on the note.
The address is in this city, but it's a little remote. I asked a lot of local people, and they all had an idea of the general direction, but I couldn't tell you the specific address. I walked around and asked, and after asking more than a dozen people, Only then did I finally find the address on the note.
Looking at the old unit building in front of me, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was quite complicated, the address on the note really existed, which finally gave me some peace of mind.
The address on the note was on the third floor of the second unit of this old apartment building. Because it was located in a relatively remote place, there were not many pedestrians around. I looked around and saw that there was no suspicious person, so I quickly entered the second floor. unit, and then went straight to the third floor.
There are only two families on the third floor. The unit building is old and the other one is obviously unoccupied. The one listed on the address also looks like it is unoccupied. I tried knocking on the door, but there was no response for a long time.
I kept knocking for a long time. Just when I was about to lose my patience, there was finally movement in the door. Then the door opened. It was a middle-aged man. He looked at me a few times and let me in without saying anything. house.
The house is old, but it is neat and tidy, but there are a few human head models there, which makes people feel awkward.
The middle-aged man was very silent. I stood in the room at a loss, not knowing what to say or what to ask.
"Sit." The middle-aged man said simply and pointed to the bench in front of the coffee table.
I sat down as I was told, finally feeling a little more relaxed. I opened my mouth a few times to ask something, but the middle-aged man kept walking around the room holding something, so I had no chance.
There was a 'pop', and a razor was thrown in front of me. I was stunned for a moment, and then there was another 'pop', and a mirror was thrown in front of me.
"Shave your beard, otherwise I won't be able to do anything." The middle-aged man said to me.
"Ah?" I was a little stunned, not understanding what he meant by not being able to make a move.
"Have you forgotten that you met me yesterday?" The middle-aged man suddenly smiled at me.
I tried my best to remember, but I still couldn't remember where I had seen him. Speaking carefully, in this strange city, there were quite a few strangers who passed me by.
"In the room, you forgot." The middle-aged man suddenly spoke in a different voice. The tone sounded like Mandarin with a strong dialect flavor. When listening to these words, I suddenly remembered that this middle-aged man It turned out to be the man who was looking for a room in the hotel yesterday.
Thinking of this, I was stunned. I stared at his face. How was it similar to the man who looked like a man from the countryside
