Fan Tuan's words surprised me again. I just thought that there must be grudges and conflicts between Lao An and Mazi Li, but I never imagined that they would have such a relationship.
Fan Tuan said that Mazi Li was the kind of person who had a restless nature and could not control his family, so he left home at a young age. He had a younger sister who stayed in the old city. No one knew what happened back then except the person involved.
Anyway, Lao An met Mazi Li's sister. In terms of age, Mazi Li's sister was at least ten years younger than Lao An, but she still married Lao An in the end.
People like Lao An may not understand style or life. He is a good expert in outdoor adventures, careful in thinking, and quick and decisive in action, but he is not good at living. Old couples and young couples are not favored by others. Facts have proved
, that’s true. The conflicts in the lives of Lao An and Mazi Li’s sister are accumulating day by day, and they are becoming more and more numerous. Lao An doesn’t know how to explain or coax people. Sometimes he stays out for two or three months and doesn’t come back.
When I came home occasionally, the quarrels were fierce. Maybe when his temper got worse, Lao An would beat his wife. The beatings became too frequent, and Mazi Li's sister couldn't bear it.
"One time, Mazi Li's sister couldn't stand the beating and ran away from the door." Fan Tuan said: "It might have been late at night at that time. She was so lost that she... was hit by a car and died."
When Mazi Li received the news, he rushed back to the old city to find trouble with Lao An first. However, Lao An's whereabouts were uncertain, and at that time he had a cooperative relationship with the blind third master. The goods obtained by Lao An were valuable, and the blind third master
I didn’t want to cut off this supply of goods, so I came out to speak to Lao An. At that time, Blind Third Master was already very powerful, and Mazi Li couldn’t bite the bullet and continue to seek revenge. Although the matter was settled in the end, Mazi Li
The resentment in my heart cannot be resolved.
"That's what happened. Anyway, the news spread from Mazi Li, and Lao An didn't explain it." Fan Tuan said: "Let's talk about it first, and then we'll be done with it. Don't tell anyone."
"I know."
Fan Tuan and I ate in the bar, drank beer and chatted. Su Xiaomeng was busy taking care of Niuniu. Without her there, there was less fun, but it made people feel peaceful. Lao An was alone
We stayed in the private room and refused to come out. Fan Tuan and I got drunk while drinking. At about ten o'clock at night, the empty wine bottles were thrown all over the floor.
It wasn't until I was a little drunk that Lao An showed up and called me over. Fan Tuan and I were drinking outside. Lao An was actually drinking alone, but he had a good drinking capacity and his face was as usual. He asked me and Xi
What exactly happened between the three masters? I had already denied it during the day, and of course it was impossible to change my story now. After all, I was still very wary of Lao An.
"It stands to reason that Third Master would not usually cause trouble to ordinary people. He is older and has many things to do, so he doesn't have that much energy anymore." Lao An looked at me, as if he was trying to tell whether I was lying.
"You must have touched my previous family background, right?" I said, "I have never left the place where I lived before in my whole life. What might I have with him?"
"I have thought about it, so I don't understand what is going on." Lao An said: "But please be careful these days. The third master is a bit vindictive, and he is old and has a stubborn personality. He rarely does what he believes in.
Change your mind."
I immediately understood what Lao An meant. He wanted to tell me that today I met Blind Third Master in the teahouse. After all, it was daytime. Even if something happened, he would not be able to do anything to me on the spot. But he had a man under his command.
If the batch of people, and fierce men like Mazi Li, want to deal with me, there are many opportunities.
"Let's find another place to live temporarily during this period." Lao An stood up and said, "Leave now."
I was a little dizzy after drinking. After Lao An said this, I also felt that it was necessary to change places. While the two were discussing, Fan Tuan knocked on the door outside, then pushed the door open a crack and said, "It seems that someone is here."
Knock on the door outside."
"who?"
"I don't know." Fan Tuan said, "I just heard two knocks, and then there was no movement."
Originally, Lao An and I were discussing changing places to hide. Fan Tuan said this, which made us a little nervous. Lao An asked Fan Tuan if he heard wrong. The door of the bar is a rolling shutter door. If there is a scraper outside,
Wind or weather changes may cause the rolling shutter to ring. Fan Tuan was not sure, so we left the private room immediately. Lao An leaned on the table and looked out the window, but there was no one there.
"Don't wait any longer, leave now."
There was nothing important in the bar, and the three people left empty-handed. Lao An observed that there was indeed no one outside, but the first time we went out, we saw a box placed next to the rolling shutter. It was a very ordinary paper box, I
After looking at it, it looked like a mobile phone packaging box.
There was something inside the box, Lao An tried it out, and then slowly opened the box. This was a mobile phone packaging box. When he opened the box, a brand new mobile phone appeared in front of him.
"Let's go first, we'll talk about it in a different place." Lao An looked around and led us into the night. He contacted other people, and soon after, a car pulled us out of the old city overnight and in a nearby county.
I found a place in the suburbs.
After everything was settled, Lao An opened the box again, his brows furrowed, and I immediately recalled the brand new mobile phone found in the room before Peixin died. That mobile phone was like a
The reminder sent Peixin to hell. I couldn't help but feel a little hateful, but there was no place to vent my anger.
In my mind, since someone sent this mobile phone, they might contact us through a phone call, so at the beginning, we kept waiting, waiting for the phone to ring. Lao An and I are used to staying up late, face to face
I sat and smoked one cigarette after another with my cell phone in front of me. However, from the middle of the night until it got dark, my cell phone was silent.
Lao An checked and found that there was indeed a calling card in the phone, which meant that the phone had normal call functions, but the phone never rang. I was a little confused about the purpose of the person who sent the phone.
But when Lao An just plugged the phone card back into his phone, his phone received a text message. The content of the text message was very simple, with only two words: video.
Lao An got the prompt and immediately found a video in the memory card of the phone. The phone was very new and had almost never been used. There was only one video in the entire memory card.
After receiving the text message, the phone stopped responding. At this time, Lao An and I both understood that the purpose of the person who sent the phone was very clear, just to let us see the video on the phone. But it is not yet certain who sent the phone.
Do you want me to see the video, or do you want Lao An to see it? Or even let us both see it together?
Thinking about what happened during the day today, I think it's possible. Mazi Li had a conflict with Lao An, and I still have an old feud with Mr. Blind.
"Let's take a look." Lao An stopped guessing and opened the video directly.
The video was shot directly with a mobile phone and sent over intact. The camera has very high pixels. The background of the video is at night, but there are firelights around it, so the picture can still be seen clearly.
The moment the video started playing, the little bit of drunkenness that remained in my mind immediately disappeared without a trace, because I saw a person appear in the picture. It was this person who appeared in the picture that made me realize that sending
The target of the person using the cell phone is me. He just wants me to see this video.
I was a little panicked, and many emotions that I had suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out in my heart. I grabbed the phone from Lao An, just to see it more clearly.
I saw the old magic stick clearly. However, at this moment, the old magic stick appeared in the picture in a very strange way.
The old magic stick was squatting on the ground, with a rope around his neck, which was tied to a big tree behind him. He looked a little depressed, and his hair and beard were very long, and he looked a mess.
There was a person standing on each side of him, two men in fine clothes, shirtless, one without a left arm and the other without a right arm. The two men who had lost an arm stood in a very tacit and symmetrical posture.
Next to the old magic sticks, each held a torch.
I watched with great anxiety, because from the analysis of the picture, I couldn't tell where they were at all. Suddenly, the picture suddenly went black, and the video ended. The two-minute video before and after was like a bomb.
It exploded in my heart. Everything I am doing now is to find the whereabouts of Qingqing, Lao Shengun and the others. I did not expect that I could not find them no matter how hard I searched, but the clues suddenly appeared like this.
I watched the video back and forth several times, watching it very carefully. I thought the video must be real. Every time the video started to play, I could see the rickety figure of the old stick tied to the tree with a rope.
"What's the matter?" Lao An didn't bother me until I leaned heavily on the chair and sighed, then he asked: "What's going on?"
"I have to leave for a while." I said, "I want to find someone."
"The man in the video? Where is he? Who is he?"
"A friend of mine, I have to find him." As I said that, I stood up and wanted to rush out of the house. But at the same time I stood up, I realized that all I got was a video. Apart from this,
Nothing else. I don’t even know a rough and vague location. So, how should I find it?
But I was quiet, and I felt that since the person who gave me the mobile phone wanted me to see this video, he must have a purpose.
Sure enough, at the same time that I had this idea, a second text message beeped, and I quickly opened my inbox. This text message was sent from the previous number, and the content was also very simple, with only six words.
