After collecting the money tickets, Chu Heng wiped himself and returned to the house.
At this time, there were only three old men left in the room. Grandpa and Mr. Liu were going back and forth at the table. They were still sitting just now, but now they have stood up, with solemn expressions and sharp eyes. It seems that the battle situation should be
Very intense.
The one-eyed old man still played the role of a servant, hovering around the two of them, serving tea and water, passing cigarettes to light the fire, and would say a few words from time to time, but most of them were compliments.
"That's a good move!"
"His! The antelope is hanging its horns!"
"Oh, absolutely amazing!"
…
It seems very humble, but in fact it is blending into it quietly.
Chu Heng ran to the coffee table and took a sip of tea. He couldn't sit still and ran to the table looking at the excitement.
This guy has a problem with chess, he always likes to give people random tricks.
After watching it for a while, I couldn't keep my mouth shut and started yelling.
"Hey, I don't want to play this game like this! I have to be a sergeant!"
"Vault, vault!"
"Look, you lost, you deserve it for not listening to me!"
"Stinky basket!"
…
"Gungungun, do I need help from you, the talkative monkey?"
Mr. Liu, whose temples were twitching because of his annoyance, couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up a cane and hit him on the head!
"Boom!"
"hiss!"
"Hurry up, you're so ruthless! Why don't you tell me how bad it is? Ouch, I'm such a brain!"
Chu Heng covered his head and ran away in a hurry, not daring to take even a step forward.
I went back to the coffee table and sat for a while. The scar had healed and I forgot about the pain. I glanced at the closed study door behind me.
Faintly, I could hear voices coming from inside, and it seemed like they were still arguing about something.
"What are these two talking about?"
This guy has always been very curious, and I don't know how many losses he has suffered in this, but he still remembers to eat and not to fight.
This is not the case.
After sitting there for a while, he couldn't help but feel curious. He sneakily ran to the study door, squatted by the crack of the door and listened secretly with his ears pricked up.
"I tell you, it's absolutely impossible! As long as I, Xie Lixuan, am still alive, I will never collude with them. Don't stop talking nonsense!"
"Why are you so stupid than me, who is so stupid? Am I asking you to join in the evil deeds? You don't understand the principle of leaving green hills without worrying about having no firewood? Let me tell you, I just received the accurate
News, people like you have to..."
"If he has the ability, he will come. I've been surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Are you still afraid of this?!"
…
"It was such a lively chat!"
Chu Heng took a breath of cold air, and then couldn't help but put his ear to the door. He only listened for a short time. When he heard some extremely confidential information, such as where a certain adult went, and who
After preparing to do all these things, this guy quietly retreated with a cold sweat on his head, wishing he could shave his big ears.
This...can't be silenced, right?
The guy returned to the chessboard uneasily, recalling the conversation he just heard, with a faint look of worry on his eyebrows.
"You kid!"
Mr. Liu looked at him sideways and said with a half-smile, "Have you heard enough?"
"Ah? Have you heard enough? I don't even understand what you are talking about."
Chu Heng raised his head with a confused expression, his eyes were pure and shoeless.
"Ha, it's best if you don't know. Okay, stop dazzling here and just do what you have to do. Our old bones are not rusty yet. It's not your little guy's turn to worry about it!" Mr. Liu waved his hand.
road.
"well."
Chu Heng grinned, turned around and left.
He is small in stature and soft-spoken. There are some things and people that he should not know.
Even if he wants to worry about it, he doesn't have the diamond.
The one-eyed old man on the side heard the clouds and fog, and he didn't realize it. Then he saw his one-eyed eye wandering around for a few times, then silently put down the teapot and followed Chu Heng out of the main room.
He was afraid that he would hear too much and be silenced.
In his early years, this kind of thing was not uncommon for him.
The old man once had a cousin, and his whole family was killed because he overheard a warlord plotting to sell arms. The cousin narrowly escaped because he went out to deliver goods, but he later died inexplicably.
Moreover, the dead ghost told the old man what happened before he died, causing him to hide in Jinmen for more than half a year. He did not dare to return to the city until the warlord ran away.
…
After having dinner at Xie's house, Chu Heng and his wife went to Liu's house and sat for a while. They talked for a while with Old Mrs. Liu who did not go to Xie's house for dinner, and then drove out of the compound at the old lady's persuasion.
All the way back to Xiaolihua.
"Bang!"
After getting off the car, Chu Heng glanced at the alley across the street. It was completely dark now, and the street lights had been lit early. Under the dim light, he could vaguely see someone looking over there.
Xiao Ni had been looking after Chu Heng's bag for a long time. When she saw her husband looking over there, she knew that something had to be done. Being smart, she didn't ask any questions. She reached out to take Chu Heng's bag and followed her grandfather into the alley.
"It's so cold!"
Chu Heng stamped his feet, wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, and trotted to the alley opposite.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the alley, Niu Ma No. 1 came over, trembling and hugging his arms, and asked with a smile on his face: "Master Chu, do you have any orders?"
Chu Heng didn't say anything. He glanced at the man number 5 or 6 in the alley who was as cold as a grandson. He thought for a while and gave him ten yuan. He said, "I'll rent a house nearby later. The day after tomorrow it will get worse and worse."
It’s cold, don’t freeze your brothers.”
"Oh, remember!"
Niu Ma No. 1 nodded excitedly. He felt warm. He felt a warm current flowing from his heart to his limbs and bones, and his whole body felt warm.
If you follow this kind of boss, you will be willing to die!
"besides."
Chu Heng spoke again: "Inform Du San that there is a big job to be done and ask him to find two hundred trustworthy people for me. Each person will pay fifty for the carriage and horse."
When he heard that two hundred people were required and so much money was given, Niu Ma No. 1 immediately realized that the matter was not simple. His face straightened and he quickly said: "Understood, I will inform you later."
"Thank you for your hard work. Let me go to the car and take shelter. It's very cold tonight." Chu Heng patted him on the shoulder, turned around and ran into the alley.
Return to the courtyard and enter the house.
Grandpa has already begun to spread quilts on the kang to prepare for rest.
The old man is getting older and is afraid of the cold. He moved to the kang to sleep a few days ago.
Originally, he didn't agree and wanted to give Chu Heng and his wife a warm kang to live in. He even used the excuse that he was from the Northeast and was not afraid of the cold.
But Chu Heng and his wife lived in the Northeast when they were young, and they were streetwalkers who traveled all over the world in their previous life. How could they know that the people in the Northeast are not rich in defense and rely on high-end equipment to keep out the cold during the winter?
The young couple talked hard and quoted filial piety from classics before convincing the old man to submit.
I have to go out temporarily for something, so the next chapter may be a little later.
