Chapter 24 The Connector
"Is that enough? No, no, this cash is only more than 2,000, I see enough, you have to hold this card, there is a lot of money in the card, you can use it. When he said goodbye, Qin Huai's reaction was not to be sad, but to keep stuffing me with money, he took out his own pockets and Uncle He's pockets were not enough, and insisted on stuffing the card to me.
In fact, I have money, and I made some money during that period of preparation, in addition to the cost of the operation, which was handed over to Cheng Yuan to prepare, I also had a lot left, but I didn't dare to use my bank card, because I didn't dare to guarantee how big the power of that organization was, and whether it was so big that the amount on my bank card changed, they could detect it.
I returned the card to Qin Huai and said, "Or I won't stay in the city for too long, so it's useless to take so much money, it's enough to have these in hand, if it's not enough, a phone call, you and Crispy Meat will find a way to get me money, right?" ”
"I'm afraid that we will also be monitored, it's not so convenient." Qin Huai lowered his head, and suddenly there was some sadness in his eyes, this kid was worried about my situation, and the emotion of parting finally came to his heart.
Growing up, at this age, the constraints of all aspects doomed him to not be able to mess around with me and take risks with me like he did when he was young, although he wanted to, but he was powerless, maybe he could wait to marry Ruyue, which was already his family's greatest tolerance for him.
"Then let's talk about it then, it's really not good, Lao Tzu is looking for Jiang Yi to go, you give me a card, let me feel like I'm being raised, you can still take it." I teased as easily as I could.
"Just the guy who shot you? Brother, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely practice him as a gun target, and also give him an encounter where he will taste the taste of bullets if he doesn't hit the vital point. Qin Huai gritted his teeth and said.
Brother, these three words are quite kind, I patted Qin Huai's shoulder, and then said: "He did this, maybe it was for my good." Go back and don't worry about me. There was a lot of money, more than 2,000 was enough for the family to eat for two months (2001), and I left. ”
After saying that, I opened the car door, jumped out of the car, didn't allow Qin Huai to speak, turned around and left.
There was no sound of an engine behind me for a long time, and in front of me was the dim sunlight behind a field of sunglasses, and I was alone with my bags on my back, walking in this completely unfamiliar city, unfamiliar streets, surrounded by people speaking unfamiliar dialects
Aren't they all the same? My expression was calm, just like many years ago, when I left Sichuan, that drizzling morning, when I left Beijing, that morning when there was light snow, when I left Uncle Wang, the noisy train carriage, just like the tears shining in my eyes when Master left that day, I could no longer wait for the parting that I was forced to accept.
They are all forced to accept, and I have forgotten or dare not touch the dream that I have always dreamed of, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, a small courtyard, family, Master, like snow living happily together, three or five friends often get together, the most warm fireworks in the world.
Feeling such a mood, I strode forward, just like many times of parting, I have been used to not looking back, but I dare not look back, unconsciously walked through a street corner, I believe that Qin Huai can no longer see me, I just stopped, some tired casually leaning against a wall, some stunned for a while.
After that, I didn't know what I was going to do, where to go, it was the first time I was so confused in a strange city, but I thought that the department had said that someone would come to pick me up, so I just let it go.
I walked aimlessly, when I was hungry, I would eat something on the street, and when I was tired, I would sit for a while, until the evening came, and still no one contacted me, and I walked most of the city unconsciously, and I couldn't walk, so I found a small hotel that didn't need to register an ID card.
I wanted to keep myself in a good state of mind and not sink into this lonely sense of wandering, so I went to the small hotel and washed up briefly, and then I let my brain empty in the way of contemplation, and then threw myself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I didn't have the habit of recognizing the bed, even in a small hotel in very poor conditions I slept well, of course, it can be said that I was numb, I was not in that good mood, until in the middle of the night, I was woken up by a knock on the door.
I sat up from the bed at once, and my first reaction was to sink down to feel whether I was in danger, and then I smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, my mind was calm and I didn't feel any bad feelings, so I got up and opened the door to the person who knocked on the door.
There was a man who looked like he had come to work in the countryside at the door, and when he saw me, he smiled honestly and said to me in Mandarin with a strong accent: "There is no bed in the multi-person room, so it is cheaper for you to live in this three-person room, so I will come here to live." ”
I silently let him in, this kind of small hotel without ID registration is like this, often mixed rooms, in fact, I want to open a single room, but there is no here, I have to settle.
The man was not a man of many words, and after entering the room, he talked to me for a few words, and when he saw that I was sleepy, he went to wash himself, and then fell asleep.
At night, he snored loudly, and after tossing and turning for a while, I finally got used to it, and fell asleep, without saying a word all night.
When I woke up the next morning, it was already past 7 o'clock in the morning, and the man in the next bed seemed to have left, but when I turned over and got up, I found that there was an extra note next to my pillow.
I picked up the note and looked at it, and found that it was just a simple and unfamiliar address, and there was no more nonsense.
I was silent for a while with the note, although my expression was calm, but my mood was fluctuating, I never thought that the man yesterday turned out to be my connector, and the department did things secretly to this point, what does it mean?
I was a little irritable, I lit a cigarette, burned the note in my hand by the way, washed it away with water, opened the curtains of the room, and found that it was another gloomy day, so late autumn is a season that I can't love.
Or sunshine, or rain, can't you just order it? Why are you always so gloomy?
With such an inexplicable complaint, I cleaned up, left the small hotel, found a place to have breakfast, and asked the locals about the address on the note.
The address is this city, but it is a little remote, I asked a lot of locals, they all have a concept of the general direction, but the address is too specific to say clearly, I walked all the way to inquire, after asking more than a dozen people, I finally found the address on the note.
Looking at the old unit building in front of me, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, although the process was relatively tossed, but the address on the note really existed, and finally let my heart have a little landing.
The address on the note was on the third floor of the second unit of this old unit building, and because it is located in a relatively remote area, there are no pedestrians around, I looked around, there were no suspicious characters, and I quickly entered the second unit, and then went straight to the third floor.
There are two households on the third floor, the unit building is old, the other one is obviously uninhabited, and the one recorded on the address also looks like no one lives, I tried to knock on the door, but there was no response for a long time.
I kept knocking for a long time, and just as I was about to lose my patience, there was finally a movement in the door, and then the door opened, and it was a middle-aged man, who looked at me a few times, and without saying anything, let me into the house.
The house is old, but it is still tidy, but there are a few models of that kind of human head, which makes people feel awkward.
The middle-aged man was silent, and I stood in the room at a loss for what to say or ask.
"Sit." The middle-aged man said simply, gesturing to the bench in front of the coffee table.
I sat down as I said, and finally relaxed a little, and opened my mouth a few times to ask something, but the middle-aged man kept walking around the room with something, and I didn't have much chance.
I was stunned by a 'snap', and a razor was thrown in front of me, followed by a 'snap', and a mirror was thrown in front of me.
"Shave your beard, or I'll be bad." The middle-aged man said to me.
"Huh?" I was a little stunned, I didn't understand what he meant by his bad start.
"You forgot, you saw me yesterday?" The middle-aged man suddenly smiled at me.
I tried hard to recall, but I never remembered where I had seen him, and when I said it carefully, there were many strangers who passed me side by side in this strange city.
"In the room, you forgot." The middle-aged man suddenly changed his voice to speak, and the tone was Mandarin with a strong dialect flavor, and when I heard this, I suddenly remembered that this middle-aged man was the man who was looking for a room in the hotel yesterday.
Thinking of this, I froze, I stared at his face, and the man who looked like a rural man, where was there a half similarity?
