We got out of the car and walked to Shengchuan, the Nine-fingered Snake who was waiting for us in front. He smiled and said to me: "The one sitting in the wheelchair is my brother-in-law, Wen Jinglu. It turns out that a?b?c holds
The third son of Wen Liang Shu is also his only descendant."
I nodded, and then a few of us followed the Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan towards the entrance of the sanatorium.
Wen Jinglu said something, and the two big men behind him pushed the wheelchair forward a few meters.
We walked to the side of Wenjing Road in more than ten steps. Shengchuan, the Nine-fingered Snake, respectfully said to Wenjing Road: "Brother-in-law, I brought them here. They are indeed the descendants of a?b?c. Let them give you their own self."
Let me introduce you."
Saying that, Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan made way for me and Yang Tu in front of him.
I spoke first: "Senior Brother Wen, my name is Yi Feng, and I am the descendant of Mr. De."
Wen Jinglu was stunned for a moment when he heard me calling him senior brother. Then he was stunned again when he heard that I was Mr. De's descendant. Then he looked at me carefully from top to bottom before speaking: "Master De, he is okay.
?"
I nodded and said, "Very good. He has been living with us in Xingzhou for more than ten years. About a year ago, he was brought back to the United States and is now back in charge of the A.B.C. headquarters in New York."
"Master De used to be in Xingzhou, but now he has returned to the United States?" Wen Jinglu said, but his mind was not on the words. I don't know what he was thinking.
I said: "Yes."
Then I pushed Yang Tu, and Yang Tu said: "Uncle Wen, I am Song Jingshan, the successor of Master Song. My name is Yang Tu."
"Senior Brother Jingshan?" Wen Jinglu said with a hint of excitement on his face: "Is he okay now?"
Yang Tu said: "Well, he is also in the United States now, opening a martial arts gym and a medical clinic, and is with Mr. De and the others."
"Have they all returned to the United States?" Wen Jinglu frowned and said to himself.
Yang Tu and I answered with one word at the same time: "Yes!"
Next, Wenjing Lu didn’t ask any questions, but instead invited us into the nursing home.
The size of this sanatorium is almost the same as that of Xingzhou Normal University. As I walked inside, Wen Jinglu explained to me in his wheelchair the functions of each building in this sanatorium.
Through the introduction of Wenjing Road, I have a general understanding of this sanatorium. The so-called private sanatorium is actually an alternative form of luxury private club. People who come here to "recuperate" are either rich or noble. Here, "Huang,
Drugs and gambling are all present, and its scale ranks among the top in Tongchuan City.
Wenjing Lu said that this nursing home was built on the scale of an original nursing home, and the original nursing home had been moved to the east of Tongchuan City. He told me an address, but I didn’t pay attention to it. Anyway, when I got old,
I don’t come here to retire.
Along the way, we also met many staff and people who came here to "recuperate". After seeing Wenjing Road and the Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan, they respectfully called "Master Wen" and "Master Sheng".
After passing through the four-story main building, we stopped in front of a two-story white building in the third row at the back. There was a special passage for the disabled in front of the building. Two men in black pushed Wenjing Lu through that passage.
Entered the main entrance.
A group of us first waited at the bottom of the steps for Wen Jinglu to arrive in front of the door, then went up the steps and followed Wenjing Lu into the small building.
When we arrived at the small building, the only two people left who had been following Wenjing Lu and Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan were the two people pushing Wenjing Lu. The others all stayed outside the small building, and we were here.
All the people followed in.
The lobby of the small building is full of antique Chinese luxury, with an Eight Immortals table, a Taishi chair, and an old-fashioned carved sofa.
There are several rows of mahogany cabinets in the corner, with jade in one row, porcelain in another, and pottery and bronze in another.
There are all kinds of places. If Wenjing Road and Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan weren't right next to me, I would even suspect that I was in a museum.
Seeing me looking at these things in a daze, Wen Jinglu smiled and said: "Yi Feng, these are all genuine, from the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are a few of them that are 'royal'. The value of these things is even higher." If you get up, you can almost buy half of Tongchuan City."
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
My senior brother Wen is too rich. Before I could say anything, Wen Jinglu continued: "Part of these antiques were acquired by me from various places in Shaanxi over the years, and some were mined by people who dug graves." Some of the ones that came out were stolen from the antiquities dealers I killed."
I nodded and said, "Senior Brother Wen, are many of these things prohibited from private collection by the state?"
Wen Jinglu didn't shy away from it, smiled and said, "That's right!"
I continued to ask: "Brother Wen, aren't you afraid that these things will cause you to get angry?"
Wen Jinglu said: "Don't be afraid, because I will offer some good things to the country every now and then. If they collect these things from me all at once and arrest me, then I dare say that the entire cultural relic dealer activities in central Shaanxi will be destroyed." It will be more than ten times that of before, and the number of national treasures flowing abroad will be incalculable."
Wen Jinglu continued, "Our dominance in Tongchuan relies on the antiques industry, and our influence in the Shaanxi antiques industry ranks second only to Ouyang Qing."
I really didn't expect that Wen Jinglu and Nine-fingered Snake Shengchuan were so strong. Also, if they didn't have such strength, how could they be on par with the big black dog?
Then Wen Jinglu led a group of us to the second floor. On the side of the stairs was an old-fashioned human-controlled elevator. This is where we went upstairs. Since the elevator was relatively small, we were divided into two. Batch went upstairs.
After we all came up, Wen Jinglu told me: "This elevator is also an antique. It was something from the early Republic of China. I bought it from an old house that was demolished in Chongqing. At that time, I paid for it at the price of scrap iron. I Finding a car to transport it to Tongchuan would cost more than ten times what I paid for it."
Wen Jinglu led us into the study room of a family on the second floor. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, but those calligraphy and paintings were all covered with glass frames. Needless to say, they were antiques.
There is a long black table in the corner of the study, with the Four Treasures of the Study and a sapphire seal on it.
On the side of the desk is a coffee table, and next to the coffee table are two woven bamboo chairs.
Wen Jinglu motioned for Yang Tu and I to sit down there. As for my other brothers, they could only stand because there were no more empty seats in the room except for the two seats over the desk, and these two seats There were also people sitting there.
The two men in black behind Wen Jinglu helped Wen Jinglu sit down on the main seat, while Shengchuan, the nine-fingered snake, sat down on the side seat opposite the table.
When Yang Tu saw that many brothers were still standing behind him, he felt a little embarrassed to sit down, but he smiled and said, "You can sit down if I let you sit down."
After hearing what I said, Yang Tucai sat down.
As for the brothers behind me, they naturally won't have any objections. This is in Tongchuan City, so we have to follow the wishes of my senior brother.
After we sat down, Wen Jinglu had someone serve us tea and pastries before he said, "Yi Feng, Yang Tu, you were introduced by Ouyang Qing, so what's your purpose of coming here, if I guess right?"
If so, it’s probably an alliance to do the big black dog’s thing.”
I frowned and said, "Our purpose this time is firstly to meet a?b?c's brothers, and secondly to form an alliance to deal with the big black dog."
I have an inexplicable feeling in my heart, that is, Wen Jinglu doesn't seem to value the friendship between a?b?c too much, including the nine-fingered snake Shengchuan.
Although Jiuzhi Shengchuan was very enthusiastic when he first met us, and shouted slogans and called us brothers together, there was always an awkward element in it. Everything he did seemed to be done deliberately.
It doesn't come from his heart.
As for my senior brother Wen Jinglu, after he asked me and Yang Tu whose descendants we were, especially after knowing that Mr. De and Song Jingshan had both arrived in the United States, he never mentioned a word about a?b?c.
Instead, he talked to us about sanatoriums and antiques. Now he went straight to the point and told us about forming an alliance to deal with the big black dog. There was no intention of talking about a?b?c friendship at all.
Originally, I was very excited after seeing the third a?b?c, but now it has gradually cooled down. People's hearts will change. A dagger can really lock a person's heart and make him feel cold for more than ten years.
Is it true to its beliefs?
For the first time, I had doubts about the meaning of a?b?c.
After hearing what I said, Wen Jinglu smiled and said, "Oh, a?b?c have already met each other, so let's just talk about the big black dog."
I sighed and said: "Okay, since senior brother said so, let's talk about the big black dog. I don't know if senior brother already has an idea."
When Wen Jinglu saw me sighing, he said: "Yifeng, I know that my attitude has made you doubt my belief in a?b?c, but I want to tell you that everything is not what you see.
, the reason why I avoid talking about a?b?c, and only talk about the big black dog, is because my hatred for him has made me unable to wait for a moment longer. I can't wait to cut him into pieces right now and convulse him.
Peel."
I looked at Wen Jinglu in surprise. I had never experienced what happened to Wen Jinglu, so naturally I couldn't understand what was going on in his heart full of hatred.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Wen Jinglu asked me: "Yi Feng, Yang Tu, do you want to hear a story, a story about me."
We didn't talk, because these stories must be an extremely painful memory for Wen Jinglu, otherwise he wouldn't have such hatred in his heart.
Before we could answer, Wen Jinglu started talking to himself: "I won't talk about the civil unrest in A.B.C. You should all know this."
Yang Tu and I nodded at the same time.
Wen Jinglu continued: "The civil strife in A.B.C caused the death of my father and two brothers in the United States. Later, in order to preserve the prosperity of our Wen family, my mother left the United States with my fifteen-year-old son.
After returning to China, we first lived in Shanghai for two years. Later, a good friend of my father’s lifetime found us and said he would take care of us! Oh, which uncle’s surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Huaishu..."
Qin Huai Ming!?
I was stunned when I heard this name, because it was exactly my grandpa's name!
