Anyway, this slowly emerging feeling made me very uncomfortable. After standing alone in the yard for a long time, I turned around and went back to the room. But when I glanced hastily, I saw a person next to the doorway in the backyard.
Half of the figure suddenly shrank back. If I saw it correctly, it was Lao Wang.
Didn't he take people to the back to take inventory? And what I saw just now was that he was clearly peeking over here quietly.
This kind of voyeurism immediately made me feel even more uncomfortable. I glanced around, front, back, left, and right like a conditioned reflex, as if there really was a wolf quietly following me. What on earth is going on? We people may be
It was my first time to come to Wuzhong, but as soon as I got here, something like this happened.
Lao Wang's figure shrank back to the backyard and disappeared again. I returned to the house, but my mood could not be calm. From dinner until midnight, I was thinking about this matter hard. Ma Dad had fallen asleep beside me,
I was snoring loudly. I thought over and over again, and finally sat up with a loud snoring. I couldn't let this matter go like this!
I gently opened the door and walked out, then went to Zhang Houhou to wake him up. Zhang Houhou is such a delicate person. As soon as I expressed the doubts in my heart, he understood clearly.
"You should find a way to ask about this matter." I ordered him unceremoniously. Lao Wang and I were not familiar with each other, so if I asked him directly, I would definitely get nothing out of it.
Zhang Houhou nodded, but said whether he asked or not depends entirely on Lao Wang himself, because if he didn't tell, no one could force him.
I slept very poorly that night. When I got up the next day, Zhang Houhou came to tell me that Lao Wang left the stall yesterday and went to sleep in a rented house nearby. He has not come here until now.
"Then you go find him, you must ask clearly!" I lowered my voice and looked at him. Zhang Houhou immediately slipped out of the stall obediently.
He ran away for a full two or three hours. When he came back, his face looked a little strange. He quietly called me to his room and closed the door tightly.
"Have you asked clearly?"
"I asked. Uncle Wang didn't tell me whether he was alive or dead at first. He was pretending to be confused with me. I bowed and knelt down to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to say that this was a very important job for Mr. Lei and that no part of it should be shown.
If anything goes wrong, he will hesitate."
Zhang Houhou said that Lao Wang was a tough guy and no one could force him to question him. They could only use Lei Yingxiong's story as a cover to trick him into telling him.
"Don't fucking talk nonsense, just tell me!"
"Boss Wei..." Zhang Houhou swallowed, a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little complicated. His usually smooth and smooth talk seemed a little difficult to use now: "I asked for a long time, and Uncle Wang just said
He said one sentence, and he was only willing to say this sentence. But I couldn't understand it."
"What did you say?"
"Uncle Wang said..." Zhang Houhou calmed down and said word by word: "He said there is a dead person among us."
I was stunned after hearing this. It took three minutes to slowly come to my senses, and I immediately scolded Zhang Hou: "Fuck you! What nonsense is this!"
"Boss Wei, don't worry, that's what he said. I'll repeat the exact words." Zhang Houhou persuaded me to turn off the fire and said: "There must be something weird in what Uncle Wang said. It's not right. It shouldn't be said like that. It should be said,
There are some eccentrics among us."
"There is a dead person among us..."
If this sentence is taken literally, it is nonsense and cannot be believed or understood at all. But when I think of Lao Wang's expression at that time, I feel that this sentence is not that simple.
"Uncle Wang just said this, Boss Wei, I feel something is fishy. Mr. Lei must not miss this deal." Zhang Houhou may also have felt that something is abnormal, and he is afraid of affecting the entire operation: "Let's analyze it together.
"
Zhang Houhou may have thought about related issues, and then he chatted with me a lot. The overall meaning is that Lao Wang's words are very pointed. Putting aside the meaning of there is a dead person among us, it means that there must be someone here.
Not normal.
"I know Jiang Chen very well. He is Mr. Lei's brother-in-law. His sister died early and Mr. Lei has not renewed his marriage. Peng Bo is an old man working for Mr. Lei..."
"What?" I glared at Zhang Houhou: "You cut off all your personal relationships, does that mean there is something wrong with the people on my side?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that..." He hurriedly explained to me with a monkey-like smile.
But I couldn’t say the next words because what Wei Mian had said flashed in my mind like lightning.
"Don't think that Lei Yingxiong can settle everything, be careful about the people around you..."
At first, I didn't pay much attention to this sentence, because it came from Wei Mian's mouth, and it was probably meant to sow discord, but at this time I could no longer remain calm.
Be careful about the people around me, who should I be careful about? If I really want to be careful, then everyone may be suspicious. I not only want to be careful about who, but also what to be careful about.
I thought about it for a long time, but I was afraid of patting Monkey Zhang on the shoulder: "Old Zhang, please ask again. If you don't ask these questions clearly, you know it will have an impact on our actions."
"Should I try again?" Zhang Houhou looked very embarrassed: "I almost knelt down. If he didn't say anything, there was nothing I could do."
"Explain the stakes to him clearly."
Zhang Houhou went out after lunch. Several people in the team were very calm and stayed in the house. Only Madai and the monk had nails on their butts, squatting in the yard and playing cards with a few guys. I
Everyone secretly observed, and then looked at Xiaohui and Jiang Chen's room, feeling very confused.
Will there be a dead person among us?
I feel cold all over my body. I have been in contact with these people more than once or twice. If I suddenly hear a stranger talk about there being a dead person inside, the feeling is not only terrifying, but also a feeling that comes from the deepest part of my heart.
Aversion to cold.
This time, Zhang Houhou stayed longer, probably trying his best to persuade Lao Wang to fight to the death. This made me feel that this matter must be very taboo for Lao Wang, and he was almost unwilling to mention it. I
I waited anxiously, but I didn’t dare to show it on face, but I felt it was inappropriate to wait and wait. People like Zhang Houhou, even if they asked something from Lao Wang’s mouth, they would still tell the truth that was not good for them.
All the links were erased. If he had concealed the most crucial information, I would still be kept in the dark.
I'm so damn confused, using such a glass egg to inquire about things.
It wasn't until after dinner, around eight o'clock, that Zhang Houhou came back. I had been waiting for him. As soon as he appeared, I hurriedly pulled him back to the house. Zhang Houhou drank a glass of water and wiped it.
Wipe your mouth and start talking to me.
"I almost lost my tongue, and finally brought out Mr. Lei to suppress him. Uncle Wang finally said something else, but boss Wei, don't have too much hope, what he said was incomplete."
"Tell me what you asked first." I have been waiting all afternoon and am already impatient.
"Before that, Boss Wei, let me tell you my analysis. There is a dead person among us. This sentence should be understood this way." Zhang Houhou said to me: "This person should have died, but Uncle Wang
I didn’t expect to see him again.”
Lao Wang had indeed lived as a peasant for several years before. Before liberation, he had just entered Taoism, but soon after liberation, he no longer dared to do some things so unscrupulously, and gradually went underground. Coupled with the changes of the times,
Due to the background restrictions at that time, this line of business almost disappeared, and many people became honest.
It was not until the 1980s that the people who were eating local food gradually revived. At that time, people were still in the ignorant stage of these things, so business was easy to do. Whether they were local people who went directly to the pit or second-rate dealers, they all entered.
The golden period of his career. Lao Wang was not too young at that time, but he was in good health, and he probably liked these things by nature, so he didn't wash his hands. In addition to reselling some local goods, sometimes there were really tempting fat pits, and he also
I will do it myself.
What happened to him happened in 1984. At that time, he was still in Gansu. He had a group of people under him and was somewhat famous. Originally, he had been working alone, but at the beginning of 1984, someone came to him and talked about something.
The thing is that the person who came here met through a friend of Lao Wang. He told Lao Wang that a pit was found at the Golden Pagoda. It was a bit tricky and the other party couldn't eat it alone, because Lao Wang has been hanging out in Gansu all year round and is very familiar with this place.
, especially in the pit, he has accumulated rich experience, so the other party wants to swallow this fat pit with Lao Wang.
It is said that the pit was very fertile and the other party's attitude was very sincere. Lao Wang was a little tempted. He wanted to make a final profit and then wash his hands completely. After that, he would exclusively hang out among the market and second-hand dealers, where he could often come into contact with rare goods, and
There is no need to take too big a risk. The other party told the specific situation that the pit has been completely removed, but it is blocked outside and cannot be entered even if it is alive or dead.
After a series of planning and preparations, Lao Wang finally decided to take over the job. He took some people to the Golden Pagoda and met with the other party's people there. But when he actually came into contact with this pit, Lao Wang had
It feels like being fooled, because this pit is not as tricky as the other party said, and it is very large, almost half of the mountain was dug out to build it.
But Lao Wang did not leave in the end, because the pit itself attracted him, and he decided to finish the matter thoroughly.
The entrance to this pit has been completely found by the previous group of people. When Lao Wang saw the entrance, he was a little uneasy because he had been in so many pits before and had never seen it before.
There is a door at the entrance, which is very thick and blocks the entrance tightly. There is a deep fingerprint on this door.
"What Uncle Wang said about the person who should die started from here."
