I don’t know where the garbage truck will take us. Anyway, it’s up to where we go. As long as we’re far away from the People’s Hospital.
We set off at around 2 o'clock, and around 3:30 in the morning, the big car stopped.
That place seems to be called Tanglai Canal. All the soil dug for the artificial lake in Baohu Park was dumped here. At that time, there were many large mountains of earth piled here at Tanglai Canal.
I paid 7,000 yuan for Xiaoxuan's medical expenses before, and spent some money on medicine for the surgery. I gave another 3,500 yuan to Xia Miqi and her sister. I said I would give the rest of the money after we got out, and the three of us pooled it together.
I collected 1,000 yuan and gave it to the driver. At that time, I still had more than 400 yuan in cash with me.
The driver poured the dirt, collected the money, drove away happily, and left us in Tanglaiqu.
Tanglaiqu is not far from Fengdeng Town. Fengdeng Town is an urban village in Jinfeng District. It should be called Xinfeng Village now.
Xiaoxuan only received glucose nutrient solution for so many days. She was already thin, but now she is even thinner. There is not much flesh on her arms, they are all bones. It makes people feel distressed to see her. She has suffered along with me.
Douyazai and I changed shifts, and under the moonlight, we carried Xiaoxuan on our backs and walked step by step toward Dengfeng Town.
Fengdeng Town was in chaos, and every household was closed. I carried Xiaoxuan and Douyao on my back and walked all the way to the southernmost part of the village.
There is a canteen in the southernmost part of the village. The canteen has a rolling shutter door, and there are two cartoon-shaped rocking dolls at the door. It should be called that, right? It is the Pleasant Goat style that children ride back and forth. The entrance to the canteen is
The two rockers are blue cats and red rabbits, or red rabbits and blue cats, I can’t remember clearly.
It was very cold at night. I saw Xiaoxuan shivering, so I put her down and let her sit on the rocker. Then I went directly to knock on the rolling shutter door.
"Pah! Pah!"
I kept knocking on the door for several minutes. Then the lights came on in the room and a woman's impatient voice rang out: "Who is this? You are going crazy! Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night to prevent people from sleeping?"
The rolling shutter door was pulled up, and when they saw me standing outside, a lady in her fifties with messy hair rubbed her eyes, "What are you doing? What did you buy?"
I directly stated my purpose of coming and said: "Sister, we are here for tourism and have no place to stay at night. Can we stay at your house for two days and pay 50 yuan a day? Do you think that's okay?"
"What?"
"Give me 50 yuan to live in my house?" The eldest sister was stunned before she realized what she was doing, and asked in confusion. You are not old, so you are not bad people, right?
"No way," I chuckled and said, do you think we look like bad guys?
Dou Sprout's tense face immediately relaxed, and a harmless smile appeared on his face.
In this way, the three of us temporarily settled down in this canteen in Dengfeng Town, or we hid for the time being.
I call the woman who runs the canteen her name is Sister Ma, and her husband is called Wang Xijing. He is a very honest man. Sister Ma married her husband early and became a grandmother. At that time, wages in the south were higher than those in the north, and his son and daughter-in-law all went to work in Shenzhen.
I left a nine-year-old child for the old couple to take care of at home.
Sister Ma’s house is a bungalow, with an east room, a west room, and a south room. The three of us lived in the south room, and Sister Ma cooked all our meals. She didn’t want the money I gave her. She said 50 yuan a day was a lot, so we could have some home-cooked meals.
enough.
I thought for a while and asked Xiaoxuan if she could eat. Seeing her nodding, I gave another 100 yuan and asked Sister Ma to buy some ribs and some fish so that Xiaoxuan could eat more long meat.
After staying here for three days, Xiaoxuan's body is recovering and her face looks good. We are hiding here not knowing what is going on in the city, and we dare not go out. Maybe Jin Fenghuang's younger brother is looking for us in the streets.
Now that I don't have my head, I can only rely on me.
I didn’t have Liu Zhiyuan’s phone number. After careful consideration, I called another person.
"Hello, please call Wen Er for help."
"Wenlaoer!"
"Wen Laoer, someone is looking for you!"
Soon someone else answered the phone.
When he heard it was my voice, Lao Wen said excitedly, boss, where have you been! I don’t think your money is worth it, I think you want to die!
I smiled and said: "Old Wen, boss, I have offended someone and am in trouble, so I have to ask you for help."
"Have you offended someone? Boss, who have you offended?" Lao Wen asked.
Since I decided to make this call, I had no intention of hiding it from him. I said that I had offended the Kim brothers and now they were looking for me. I did not dare to go to the train station and hid.
"Damn it,"
The old man on the other end of the conversation suddenly exclaimed: "Boss, are you talking about the Kim brothers who open a game arcade and open an agate mine?"
I said yes.
"Why did you offend them? It's not easy to handle." Lao Wen said worriedly: "Last year, I had a buddy who was selling goods and offended a little boss in the game arcade. As a result, they broke his head. Now he is paralyzed at home talking.
You won’t even say it, but my brother still has children to raise, it’s so miserable.”
I said: "Old Wen, I don't have many friends in Yinchuan. I'm calling you to tell you this because I treat you as a friend. If you sell me to the Jin brothers, you can get a benefit. I want to know if you can too."
Consider me a friend?"
On the other end of the phone, Lao Wen was silent for a few minutes.
Then he said: "Boss, it's true that I love money, but I won't do that. You can always trust me, Wen Shupu."
"Okay, I believe you."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Lao Wen said.
"Listen up, Old Wen. I want you to do two things. Don't you have a connection with Yinchuan? You must know a lot of people. I want you to help me find out what the Jin brothers and their gang have done recently."
"The second thing is, I want you to help me find a man named Liu Zhiyuan, who drives Huang Dafa and runs a taxi. When you find him, tell him that little brother Yunfeng is in trouble and needs his help, and ask him to go to Baobao at night.
Meet me at the construction site of Hu Community."
Lao Wen repeatedly said yes and understood.
After hanging up the phone, I held my phone and fell into thinking.
I didn't directly reveal that our hiding place was in Fengdeng Town, but I was more careful and lied that we were on the construction site of Baohu Community. If Lao Wen turned around and sold us, I had a precaution.
I know that Lao Wen will definitely be unhappy if I do this. He may think that I have clearly promised to trust him, so why are I playing with him again.
But there is no other way, just let him think what he wants.
People will always grow after experiencing those things. I have been betrayed several times by others before, including Chen Jiansheng, Aza, and Qin Xingping. I hate that feeling very much. I don't want to be cheated again. I want to protect Xiaoxuan and Douyazai.
Lao Wen is from Yinchuan, and it is only a matter of time before he finds Liu Zhiyuan, who runs Huang Dafa. I talk to him on the phone once a day through the canteen, and he reports to me the news he has learned. .
That day the old man said: "Something big happened, boss! I went to inquire about the old transformer factory, the telecommunications office, the billiard street, and the Internet cafe and game room over there. The Kim brothers took away hundreds of people and ambushed them all at the train station.
Nearby! I heard that they went to a printing shop to print out your photos, and everyone got a copy! They said they were going to kill you!"
It seemed that Jin Fenghuang was really angry because we ran away. The situation was not optimistic. I frowned and asked Lao Wen again if Liu Zhiyuan had been found.
Lao Wen said: "I asked around, is the person named Liu from Shandong? I heard that he was very good at driving a taxi? Did her wife used to work in the new department store and was lame?"
I said yes, this is the person.
Lao Wen added: "That's okay. I already know this person's specific address. I'll go find him in the middle of the night tonight and bring him what you told me. Boss, I'm confirming that the meeting place is Baohu Park.
On the construction site, right?”
I thought about it and said yes, it would be best to meet at Baohu Park at night.
Then Lao Wen hung up the phone.
Douyazai kept listening with his ears pricked up. When he saw me hanging up the phone, he asked: "Fengzi, I wonder if this old man will sell us because of his duplicity. When he contacts Liu Zhiyuan, shall we go to Baohu Park? No.
I'll be caught as soon as I go."
I nodded and said yes, we couldn’t go for safety reasons, at least we couldn’t go by ourselves.
Xiaoxuan was sitting in the yard drinking Wangzai milk at this time. Wangzai milk was bought from Sister Ma’s store. He didn’t have pure milk here but this. This milk was advertised as real milk.
As mentioned earlier, Sister Ma’s son and daughter-in-law have gone to work in Shenzhen. Her grandson is Wang Shuai, who stays at home and is in the third grade of elementary school.
Xiao Wangshuai looked longingly at the Wangzai milk in Xiaoxuan's hand, swallowing from time to time.
This is for sale in the canteen. Sister Ma was very strict and refused to let him drink it, which made the child greedy.
Xiaoxuan saw that he was young and playful, and wanted to tease him, so she turned her back to him and drank.
Xiao Wangshuai ran to Xiaoxuan again and continued to watch her drink eagerly.
I glanced at Dou Sprout, and Dou Sprout said, Fengzi, what are you looking at me for?
