After a while, Zhu Tianlei withdrew his gaze, but he had no intention of going into the cave to practice any more. He suddenly thought about it and took a different path to go down the mountain.
Now, Zhu Tianlei was walking at an astonishing speed. With all his strength, the journey that originally took more than forty minutes could be reached in about ten minutes.
Therefore, when Zhu Tianlei stood at the door of Qin Ming's house, it had only been twenty minutes.
In the cave, the man who took 5,000 yuan from the other party was Qin Ming, a famous scoundrel in Hahaogou Village.
Qin Ming is forty-one years old this year. He married a woman from another village when he was thirty. Unexpectedly, within a year, the woman left the Qin family without saying a word because she couldn't stand Qin Ming's torment. From then on, there was no news.
none.
Qin Ming searched for her for half a year and then gave up. Anyway, for him, it was better not to have a mother-in-law at home, and he could go around looking for flowers more freely.
Not only in Toadgou, but also in all the girls and wives within dozens of miles around, there is no one who is not afraid of Qin Ming.
Qin Ming was very courageous and extremely shameless. He often sneaked into other people's courtyards and peeped at people taking baths, and even did it as a couple. One year, he was almost beaten to death by a man from the next village because of this.
Even so, Qin Ming still went his own way.
Zhu Tianlei never thought that he would meet this person one day. Things are really unpredictable.
Half an hour later, Qin Ming whistled and wandered to the door of his home. But the moment he opened the door, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back.
"Fuck, what kind of evil wind is blowing in this summer!"
Qin Ming cursed in a low voice, then closed the courtyard door and turned around.
"You...you...how did you come in?"
Looking at Zhu Tianlei standing in front of him, Qin Ming bit his tongue in fear.
"Qin Ming, where have you been?"
Zhu Tianlei looked at Qin Ming and asked with a smile.
"I...do you care where I go?"
It was true that Qin Ming was panicked, but then he thought about it. After he came out of the Hulu Cave, he went home without any delay. Zhu Tianlei could not know about his going to the cave, so his panic gradually calmed down.
Come down.
"Yeah?"
Zhu Tianlei blinked, then suddenly reached out and reached Qin Ming's chest as fast as lightning. Before Qin Ming could react, the envelope in his chest fell into Zhu Tianlei's hand.
"What are you doing? Give it back to me!"
Qin Ming's voice changed with fear, and he stretched out his hand to snatch the envelope back, but how could he be Zhu Tianlei's opponent?
Zhu Tianlei turned around and opened the envelope.
A thick stack of pink banknotes glistened in the sun.
"Qin Ming, it's okay. This stack of bills is with consecutive numbers. It must be 5,000, right?"
Qin Ming's heart trembled.
How did Zhu Tianlei know it was 5,000 yuan? Did he really hear the conversation between himself and that person?
impossible!
"Zhu Tianlei, give me the money, hurry up!"
Qin Ming jumped up to grab the envelope again, but he hadn't even warmed up to the money yet!
"Qin Ming, aren't you going to tell me the origin of the 5,000 yuan?"
"Why should I tell you who you are to me? I earned this money, so what?"
After all, Qin Ming has been a rogue for more than ten or twenty years, and his courage, shame, and brains are all not in vain.
"Earn it? How do you earn it? Do you make it by making up lies and tipping people off?"
Qin Ming was now able to conclude that Zhu Tianlei heard the conversation between him and that person in the cave, but what the heck, he was trying to catch a treacherous person, catch a couple, and take the stolen goods. Zhu Tianlei had no evidence, so there was nothing he could do if he refused to admit the other party.
"Zhu Tianlei, don't be so sarcastic. I'm telling you, don't think that because you have been so awesome in the village recently, I, Qin Ming, are afraid of you. I'm just kidding, when Qin Ming and I were hanging out in the village, you didn't know where the cat was.
Reincarnation!"
Qin Ming's eyes were crossed, and she looked like she was very powerful, but only she knew how confident she was in her heart.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. I was not born when you were fooling around, but haven't you heard a sentence?"
"What...what are you talking about?"
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Is the greener than the blue better than the blue?"
After saying that, Zhu Tianlei took out two bills from a stack, and while smiling, he held the bills in his hand. When he let go, the pink powder scattered in the wind.
Seeing Zhu Tianlei's hand approaching the banknotes again, Qin Ming could no longer calm down.
"Wait a minute, Zhu Tianlei, if you have something to say, please don't waste my money, okay?"
Zhu Tianlei raised his eyebrows, his gaze was both playful and cold.
"Then tell me how the money came from, but..."
Zhu Tianlei said half a sentence, then stopped suddenly. Qin Ming just turned his eyes and came up with something to say, but was interrupted by Zhu Tianlei.
"If a word of what you said is false, then all this money will end up like the two banknotes just now. You should know whether I, Zhu Tianlei, mean what I say."
Qin Ming swallowed hard.
"It's clear, Tianlei, you are so famous in the village, you can't even choose what you say or do. This money..."
Qin Ming glanced at Zhu Tianlei.
"Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I will return the money to you exactly, including the two pieces just now."
After receiving the promise, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's like this. About ten days ago, I was drying corn at the entrance of the village. Someone came to me to ask about you. He was asking about your family. After saying a few words, he asked me about you."
Zhu Tianlei listened quietly, Qin Ming couldn't figure it out, hesitated for a moment, and continued.
"He asked very detailed questions. Since you were a child, Tianlei, I'm not just talking nonsense. Before you were framed by Widow Chen for murder, you didn't have any medical skills and your skills weren't very good, right?"
Zhu Tianlei glanced at Qin Ming and said nothing.
"I told that person about this. The person was very interested and asked me about the location of Hulu Cave. He also gave me a thousand yuan and said he would come back to me if anything happened."
Zhu Tianlei's heart moved and he guessed the identity of this person and basically identified two people.
"Early this morning, that man came again and insisted that I accompany him to go to Hulu Cave. I didn't want to go at first, who knew that man... so I went, Tianlei, what can I do?
I didn’t do anything, I just said a few words.”
Qin Ming was afraid that Zhu Tianlei would fall out, so he stared at Zhu Tianlei's face and the money in his hand.
"Do you know what that person's name is?"
"I really don't know this, and he didn't say anything... By the way, I have his phone number."
Qin Ming's heart was completely tied up with money. Before Zhu Tianlei could ask further questions, he poured out everything he knew.
Zhu Tianlei took the phone number Qin Ming copied to him, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and put them into the envelope.
"Qin Ming, you are not young anymore, you should do some serious business!"
After Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, he stuffed the envelope back into Qin Ming's coat pocket and strode out of the yard.
Qin Ming looked at Zhu Tianlei's back and felt very strange. (To be continued)
