Speaking of my father Zhao Jianguo, we have to tell his story.
He has a nickname called Kuangren Zhao. Kuangren can make people understand his character very clearly. My eldest brother has a hot temper, but he is far from being better than his predecessors. In my limited memory of my father
Here, he is a person who is not afraid of anything.
I don’t know if he really had such a hot temper, or if the chaotic environment at that time made him have to be such a person. After all, decades ago, Luoyang’s antique world was still in chaos, and under the leadership of my father, Zhao Jianguo, Zhaojiatun
My son just fought his way out, and the family business reached an unprecedented peak. All of this is inseparable from my father.
He is a person with high prestige in Zhaojiatun. This is the deepest impression I had on him when I was a child, because when I was five years old, I was very respected by the children because of his relationship.
Speaking of his disappearance, I have a very vague impression. It’s not that my son is incompetent, but that he left in a very strange way. At that time, Zhaojiatun was in full swing and had a high prestige in the entire Luoyang City. At that time, there were several gangsters.
The clothesmen found my father and they brought a rubbing of the map.
I was still young at the time and didn’t know what happened. But I clearly remember that after my father saw the men in black who were looking for him, he frowned for a while. About a week later, he suddenly
He left with two of the family's top tippers.
I only remember that before he left, he hugged me who was only five years old at the time, rubbed his stubble-covered face heavily on my cheek, and said something to the old woman who I remember as being taciturn:
wait me back.
It has been twenty years since I left, and I have never shown up, and no news has come back.
Regarding his disappearance, there are two versions in Luoyang City. The common point is that those men in black had very powerful backgrounds. They wanted my father to cooperate in stealing a douer that had a narrow escape from death.
One version is that my father took two good men from the family to rob the tomb and died inside. This is a common death method for many cheaters. It may be that they encountered a difficult meat dumpling, or it may be that they encountered a tough meat dumpling.
It's other factors. After all, tipping is a high-risk profession.
The second version is that after my father learned that the tomb was very dangerous, he didn’t want to rob it, but he was afraid of the power of the men in black and didn’t want to implicate the entire Zhaojiatun, so he ran away with two experts in the family.
There may be a corner of this world hidden now, and when the boss behind the Man in Black loses power, he will come back.
Both versions actually sound very reasonable, but a few years ago, when I asked my mother about this, who prayed to Buddha all day long to pray for her husband’s safe return, she smiled and shook her head and said: Although I don’t know who your father is.
He did something, but these two arguments are untenable. First, your father will not die. This is my intuition. Second, according to his character, it is absolutely impossible to escape because of fear.
If this is really the case, he is no longer Kuangren Zhao.
I went to ask my mother at that time and said: What is the reason why he has not come back for twenty years?
I will never forget my mother’s calm and trusting expression at that time. It was the kind of unwavering trust in the man she loved deeply. She closed her eyes and turned her prayer beads and said:
He will not forget this home. The reason why he does not come back is that he is doing something more important than this home. When he is done, he will come back.
I didn't say anything at the time, left the Buddhist hall, and said to the sky: Zhao Jianguo, if you don't come back, I'm sorry for this woman.
This is the disappearance of my father, which has made the entire Zhaojiatun very helpless. Because of his sensitive identity, to put it bluntly, he is an illegal tomb robber. There is no way to find it through legitimate channels. It is even more useless to find someone privately.
It is different from finding a needle in a haystack, so Zhaojiatun has no financial and material resources but can do nothing.
Just today, I heard the words "Zhao Jianguo" from this stranger's mouth. The blood in my body almost boiled. I quickly ran to close the shop door and made an invitation gesture to the man in black.
Said: This gentleman is talking inside.
He got up and followed me to the back room, sat on a chair, and said: Call your eldest brother Zhao Shaopu back, I have something to say to you.
At this time, I wanted to worship him as my grandfather, and even ignored his sentence, Zhao Jianguo is my father. I quickly called my elder brother and said: Come to my shop quickly! It's urgent!
The eldest brother seems to be busy there. After my father disappeared, the family business plummeted. In recent years, the eldest brother has been taking the lead alone, but he is brave and foolhardy. In addition, times have changed and society is ruled by law. Zhao
It would be difficult for the family to return to its original glory. He said there: What happened? Is your butt on fire?
I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to talk there, so I hung up the phone and immediately sent him a message back, just three words: Zhao Jianguo!
A minute later, the eldest brother replied with a message saying: Wait for me for ten minutes.
After doing all this, I made a pot of tea for the man in black, but he closed his eyes to rest and seemed to have no interest in talking to me, the second generation ancestor.
Ten minutes later, the eldest brother kicked open the door of the shop and rushed to the back room. When he saw me, he said with red eyes: Where is the person?
I pursed my lips to the man in black and said softly: This is the man, he knows my father, or our father is also his father.
The eldest brother pushed me aside and walked towards the man in black. With his fiery temper, he miraculously did not yell loudly, but took a deep breath and said politely: Brother, do you know the whereabouts of my father?
The man in black lay on the chair, without opening his eyes, and nodded.
The eldest brother clenched his fist and asked: "Make a price, everything will be easy to discuss."
The man in black straightened up, looked at his elder brother, said nothing, but stood up, picked up my ancient solid wood recliner, which was worth at least 100,000 yuan on the market, and smashed it on the more expensive Ming Dynasty vase on my bedside.
The vase shattered at the sound, and my heart was bleeding. Money is a trivial matter, but the problem is that these two things are my favorite things. I couldn't hold it back, and I was about to get angry, but my eldest brother stretched out his arm to stop me.
Said: I will compensate you another day, this is just small money.
After saying that, he looked at the man in black with a sullen expression. The meaning was obvious, I don't care if you smash things, but you must give me an explanation.
Do you really think that my Zhao family is made of clay?
The man in black leaned down and found a black object among the fragments of the vase. He broke it off and threw it to me. He said, "It's safe in the back room? Do you know how long you have been monitored?"
When I saw it, I was shocked. Although this thing is not popular, I have seen it before because I have friends who are engaged in this field - it is a bug.
When was this thing placed in my room!! Didn't all the sounds of me bringing the green tea bitch back home have been overheard? Is this a new bugging door?
But although my friend lives a cool life in Luoyang City and is considered to be half of the upper class, he is not a star! There is no value in surveillance at all.
The man in black did not look at me again, but stared at the elder brother and said: When you first came here, you were followed.
The eldest brother looked grim and was about to take out his cell phone to call someone. The man in black stopped him and said: It doesn't matter, your people are not their opponents.
After saying that, he picked up the tea I had just made for him, took a sip, and said: My name is Zhao Wuji. Before I came here, I already knew all about the family situation. You can call me second brother.
The eldest brother still had a dark face and said: Why? Just because you discovered this gadget? You know, there are many people in Luoyang City watching my Zhao family.
The man in black chuckled lightly, put down the teacup, and touched his face with both hands.
Next, he tore off his own face, looked at me and my eldest brother with a smile, and said: Is this enough?
My eldest brother and I looked at each other, and we could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Having been exposed to TV dramas for a long time, both of us knew that what the person just tore off was a human skin mask. We are not unfamiliar with this stuff. There are craftsmen in this field in Luoyang City. What really shocked us both was the mask under the mask.
Make a face.
This is a face that is extremely familiar to both of us. It looks exactly like Zhao Jianguo in the family photo!
His words are still lingering in my ears.
Is it enough? Is it enough?!
I swallowed and said, "That's enough. Compared with you, we don't look like biological children."
The man in black sat down again and said to us with his father's face: "Don't be nervous. The reason why I came with a mask is because I don't want the surveillance people to think that I am just Zhao Jianguo - our father."
Because once someone thinks he is back, things will become very complicated.
I came here this time just to rescue him.
The eldest brother asked eagerly: Rescue him? What happened to him?
The man in black stretched out his hand and said: It's okay, he is still alive, but he is trapped in an eternal mystery and cannot escape.
I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know that someone is using him to achieve some purpose. Before that, he cannot show up.
The person who used him was the man in black who came to find him back then, and he was also the one who had been closely monitoring the Zhao family.
I am used to the lawlessness in Luoyang City. Relying on the power of my elder brother and family, I feel like I am the best in the world, so I said: Those men in black are awesome? I don’t believe it and I can’t fight them!
The man in black, that's wrong. The man who should be called my second brother now said to me: It's not just the men in black. What our father has mixed in is really amazing. There are many people looking at him now.
Staring at it. It's so intricate that it's unimaginable.
Don't be blindly arrogant. Any force including the men in black can wipe out the century-old legacy of my old Zhao family in a snap.
This is also the reason why my father cannot come back.
