Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 94, Waves Again
It was late at night when I got back to Shanghai, and as the last flight, I didn't even have many taxis waiting to pick up when I came out of the airport. I got into one and told me the address of my home, and I leaned against the window and kept quiet. The driver master was also tired and didn't talk to him. I looked at the neon lights of Shanghai in the dark night outside, and suddenly I felt the urge to cry.
Even though I was stabbed through my arm with a knife, my bones broken by a spell, and countless moments of crisis, I never thought of crying, nor did I think of giving up. But at this moment, I suddenly felt like I wanted to cover my head and cry, but I finally held back, no one in this world cares about your tears, crying will only make people think that you are cowardly.
When I got home, it was about five o'clock in the morning, I opened the door with the key, but I saw my father with squinted eyes sitting in the hall, I looked at him and heard him say, "Come back, why is it so late?" ”
An ordinary sentence, but it made me feel extremely warm, and my eyes were red at that time, and I wanted to speak but choked up in my throat.
"What's wrong?" Father asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay......" I wiped my eyes, closed the door and walked in, "Why are you up?" ”
"Hi...... If you don't drink alcohol the night before, you will get up until about half past five or six o'clock, move around, stretch your muscles and bones, and cook a white porridge to drink. At half-past six, I went out to buy groceries. He whispered as he carried my luggage into the room.
"What's going on? Did you go to see your mom this time? He asked.
I paused, shook my head and said, "No, unfortunately, I didn't catch up." I'll sleep for a while, I'm very tired. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and tell you Aunt Xue, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat when making dumplings today?" He asked as he closed the door for me.
"Any stuffing!"
The door was closed, and I was so moved by the ordinary conversation. In the dark room, I could see the white sky outside the window, I sat on the bed and covered my face between my hands, even if I cried, I could only secretly cry, I knew that I was not that strong, I just forced my face to laugh.
Life is more bloody than TV dramas, and I finally understood this truth after experiencing this incident.
The next day I woke up in the afternoon, the weather was still fine, and I smoked a cigarette and looked out in a daze. The fat man took Yuan Feng to eat, when Yuan Feng and they made dumplings together, the fat man came over, I sent him a cigarette, he didn't answer, I remembered that Yuan Feng was pregnant, this grandson quit smoking, and easily snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.
"What do you say?" I asked, smiling like something good was going on.
"Feng'er and I discussed it, and I want to recognize you as a godfather when I have a child in the future, what do you think?" He patted me on the shoulder, and I was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Okay, in a word, your child is my child, whoever moves him in the future, Lao Tzu will destroy his whole family." ”
We have been brothers for so many years, and we are not so particular.
"Okay, let's start the meal, you go pound the garlic, the dumplings are going to go to the pot!" Yuan Feng shouted at us.
"What's stuffing?" The fat man asked with a smile.
"Lamb and green onions, and zucchini, wash your hands!"
I stood at the window and looked inside, a lively family, Aunt Xue was busy with Yuan Feng, the fat man was smiling and saying witticisms next to him, Dad was patting garlic, even though there are no famous cars and mansions here, no family wealth, but this is my home, where I grew up, even if I am given gold and silver, I will not change. After a long time ago, the staff of the nearby demolition and relocation office had already come to mobilize, saying that it would be our turn to demolish the house immediately. The specific location of the house demolition has not been said, but the family actually doesn't want to move, after all, they are used to living here.
"I know some people in the demolition and relocation office, go back and talk about it, see if you can demolish the original residence, and if not, strive for more compensation. There is no need to do it, the boss is unhappy, and in the end, the fart will not be fished for you, and we are not scoundrels. The fat man took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"That's okay, it's best to get two sets, we live in one for the old couple, and then get one set for Shan'er to be a wedding room. Speaking of which, Shan'er, it's not urging you, you should also think about a partner, why don't you want to fall in love day by day? "Dad is actually anxious, I'm also in my thirties, looking young, I'm actually an older young man, and I don't want to get married, which makes my dad a little anxious.
"No hurry, hehe, no hurry......" I muttered a few more times, and bluffed again. A group of people chatted, and it didn't take long for ten o'clock, and the fat man and his wife were ready to go back, I went out to send, because the alley was relatively small, the car was parked relatively outside, and we chatted while walking, Yuan Feng also said that after giving birth to a child, he would come back to help take care of the business. This girl is really a copy of Mu Guiying, very powerful!
"It's important for you to take care of your body, and besides, business is not so important, and I don't want you to get involved in the job I take now, for fear that something will happen to you." I'm telling the truth, now I'm in contact with a relatively high level, although the fat people are not weak, but they can't reach this weight, whether they can do business together in the future depends on chance. After sending them into the car, the fat man turned around and drove out of the public house, and when I was about to walk back, I suddenly stopped, swept my eyes around, and said, "What's the matter?" Want to sneak up on me? ”
But I saw a figure come out of the darkness, it was a stranger, wearing a mask on his face, I couldn't see what it looked like, but it should be a middle-aged man in his forties, and I could see the obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"How many others don't show up?" I said coldly, ambushing at the door of my house, it seemed that the person who came was not good, and my tone was naturally not very polite.
"We're not hostile, we're not here to do it." He said in a low voice, his voice was very deep, and he felt even more stuffy after passing through the mask, "I am the foreign affairs director of the Haotian family, and this time I am here to give you a message." ”
Haotian family's? Could it be that it has something to do with my mother's affair?
"I won't get involved anymore, you don't have to come to me." I spoke.
"That's the best, we don't want to have an unpleasant conflict with you, and if you don't get involved in our affairs in Hong Kong, we won't be your enemy, and the purpose of this visit is to make sure of that." He could tell that I said this, and his tone was much lighter.
"Are you alright? I also warn you, don't linger at my door in the future, if I find out again, you're welcome! As he spoke, he stomped his foot and stomped on the ground, shattering the surrounding land. The man on the other side nodded slightly and retreated into the darkness, and when I was sure that their breath was gone, I walked back to my home.
After a few weeks of peace, Hong Kong didn't come to me again, and no one from the Haotian family appeared at the door of my house, just when I thought that this matter was over and had nothing to do with me. An accident brought me back to this incident, Aunt Xue came back from grocery shopping in the morning, carrying a package that was sent to me by post and from Hong Kong.
When I opened it, I didn't expect a black box inside.
"Does anyone know who sent it?" I asked curiously, because the mailing slip had been torn up and blurred, and I couldn't see where the sender was.
Aunt Xue shook her head, I took the box back to the room, and my intuition told me that this box suddenly appeared in front of me, and it was sent from Hong Kong, I was afraid that it was not simple, and I didn't want to be seen by Aunt Xue and my father, so I closed the door and opened the black box. I didn't think that what was in the box was a red letter! The surface of the red letter looks strangely painted, as if it is dyed red, and in some places you can see traces of the letter's original whiteness. I picked it up and sniffed it, but the dried letter still smelled faintly fishy.
"Blood?" I frowned, opened the letter, and immediately frowned, this letter was actually sent by my mother, and the content was to ask me for help! In Hong Kong, something big is happening!
