Chapter 137 Old Wu's Family

"Sir, you, you are not a gangster, are you?"

The yellow-faced man embarked on the journey again, but there were five young people kneeling behind him who kept screaming...

At this time, the driver looked at Lu Fei with indescribable nervousness, and even a hint of fear.

"I'm not a gangster, I've just been a soldier, and it's okay to deal with a few gangsters." Lu Fei saw what the driver was worried about, so he smiled.

"Huh--" The driver let out a long sigh, patted his chest hard, and then looked at the few gangsters behind him who were almost invisible, cursing: "Damn, these gangsters should have been dealt with long ago." The driver said happily, but suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Fei strangely and asked carefully: "Don't you really broke their arms just now?"

"No, I just took off their arm links." Lu Fei shook his head.

"That's good!" The driver breathed again, then suddenly looked out a dilapidated map and pointed to the front: "Sir, the Lujiao Guln you are going to is behind the dirt slope in front, but there is no road there, so I can't send you there, I can only send you to the bottom of the dirt slope."

A few minutes later, Lu Fei stopped in front of a yellow earth slope dozens of meters high. He got out of the car, took out a pile of banknotes and handed them to the driver without even counting them.

The driver didn't count, so he put it under the seat, and then took out a business card and gave it to Lu Fei: "This is my business card. If you need a car next time, just look for me. I will definitely take you wherever you go in the future. The price will definitely not be so high." The driver's expression was a little unnatural.

Lu Fei smiled and turned around and walked up the dirt slope.

This is a place similar to a canyon, like it was washed out by mountain torrents. There are many places like the northwest. If the driver had not been to the driver's guidance, Lu Fei would not have thought that there was a village behind the earth slope. It was actually only dozens of families relying on the earth slope. Compared with the villages in the south of the Yangtze River, it looked very dilapidated, with the unique yellow sandy atmosphere of the northwest, and each family was very far apart.

Because Lao Wu had shown Lu Fei and the others photos of his hometown, Lu Fei just casually glanced at the house and confirmed Lao Wu's home. A lonely little round ball with a slope backed by a simple circle around it was surrounded by branches and fences. Even the house was built of adobe. Compared with other families around, it was obviously more simple and shabby. Lu Fei felt a little confused. He believed that if Lao Wu was at home, he would never be so shabby. Even if he could not build a few new houses, it would be fine. But the house in front of him was an old house that had been more than ten years or even more years. You can imagine how hard the family's life was.

Lu Fei soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard, took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Is anyone?"

Quietly, there was no sound.

No one?

Lu Fei's face looked strange and screamed again. The yard was still quiet without any sound.

Why is there no one?

Lu Fei felt even more strange. He pushed the door and walked into the courtyard directly. Then he looked at the three adobe bricks in front of him and came to the middle door, asking again: "Is there anyone inside?"

There is still no sound.

Lu Fei hesitated for a while, pushed the door and walked into the room directly, seeing the scene in the room clearly, his face changed.

These three houses are not only old houses, but are actually built in silver cabins. The rooms are large, but there is no breath of human survival in the room. It is more like a deserted ruin. There is a thick layer of dust on the ground. You can vaguely see a few blurry footprints, but there is no smell of oil smoke from burning fire and cooking.

Lu Fei pushed open a bedroom on the left as fast as possible. The scene that appeared in front of him was still a deserted scene. After hesitating, he walked out and pushed open another bedroom. His eyes lit up. This room, which was obviously also a bedroom, also had very thick dust, but it was not as good as the other two. Moreover, there was a pile of thick things on a earthen kang in this room, like bedding. What attracted Lu Fei's attention was a rough desk facing the window, with a few books thrown randomly on it. Although there were also thick dust on this desk, it was obviously not as many as the other two. The decorations of this room were obviously still inhabited, but no one had come in for a few days. In other words, someone had lived in this room a few days ago.

Lu Fei quickly left the room and came back to the yard, but he saw a middle-aged man in simple clothes standing at the door looking inside, looking curious.

"Brother, can you ask you something?" Lu Fei walked to the man and said politely.

"What do you want to ask?" The man subconsciously took two steps back, as if he was very timid.

Lu Fei didn't care and pointed to the yard behind him: "Is this Wu Xingguo's home? Where is his family? Have you moved to another place?" The Wu Xingguo mentioned by Lu Fei was the name of Old Wu's father, and then he waited for the man to answer with anticipation.

"I've died long ago!" the man waved his hand, with a strong local accent.

"Who is dead?" Lu Fei frowned, and the man's words were inexplicable.

"Aren't you looking for the disabled Wu Xingguo? He has been dead for almost half a year." The man waved his hand again, as if he was afraid that Lu Fei would not know, so he pointed to the dilapidated courtyard in front of him: "No, he used to sit there every day to bask in the sun, but suddenly died a few months ago. It was just because we helped him. Alas, it's better to die. A disabled person will drag down the family and have no good end. If he dies early, he will be born early, and it is also a blessing." The man sighed with emotion when he said this.

"What, Wu Xingguo is dead?" Lu Fei's head buzzed, his face changed, and he asked quickly: "What about his family? Where have they been?"

"Family, he has implicated the family, hey..." The man sighed, looked at Lu Fei again, and said, "He has a son who went to join the army when he was young. He has been a soldier for more than ten years. He often didn't come back for several years. A few years ago, he heard that he seemed to have died outside, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. Later, his wife ran away, leaving only a granddaughter. Alas, that girl is also pitiful. She has not lived a good life since she was a child. After her mother ran away, she took care of the disabled. She didn't know why she suddenly died a few months ago. It's okay if she died, so she doesn't have to drag her granddaughter down anymore. Alas..."

"Then where is his granddaughter now?" Lu Fei asked, his mind was already in a mess. He never thought that this would happen if he came here. Old Wu's father died half a year ago, and his wife ran away, leaving only a lonely daughter.

"My little sister is studying in junior high school in front of the town. She is already in the third year of junior high school. Alas, she is a poor child, but she is not lucky and has a family like this..." The man sighed.

"Thank you." Lu Fei said to the man, turned around and left. He knew that the man was talking about Silong Town, and the little girl in the man's mouth was the nickname of Lao Wu's daughter...

"Hey, what are you doing so much, who are you?" The man called Lu Fei from behind.

"I am their relative, Wu Xiaomei's cousin." Lu Fei turned around and smiled at the man, left quickly, while walking, took out the driver's business card just now and dialed: "Hello, I am the guest you just pulled. Are you back now?"

"Sir, you are you? I just walked back a little, do you want to use a car?" The driver's strange voice came from the phone.

"Well, you come back to pick me up just now, the price is easy to say." Lu Fei hung up the phone after saying that. When he climbed over the slope, he saw a stream of sand and dust flying not far away. It was the yellow-faced car that had been in the previous car. It seemed that Lu Fei had called back before he didn't walk far.

"Sir, are you going to return to Baiyin City?" the driver jumped out of the car and asked.

"I won't go back to Baiyin City for now. I want to buy your car, how much does it cost." Lu Fei asked directly as he got into the car. No one said a word of nonsense. He was not familiar with the place here, and even if there was a car, he would get lost. It would be better to buy this person to make a special car for himself.

"Charge a car?" The driver was stunned.

"Well, maybe one day, maybe one or two days, I'm not familiar with this place, would you tell me a price?" Lu Fei asked.

"Forget the money, sir, you gave me so much money before. I don't know how to come back for two months, so I'll be the driver for you for free." The driver was obviously an honest man, so he shook his head quickly. He felt uneasy after collecting so much money from Lu Fei.

"Then it's five thousand a day. What I gave you before is not counted. Five thousand a day is worth it. You can specialize in being a driver for me."

"Need not……"

"It's just settled, 5,000 yuan a day. You can send me to the junior high school in Silong Town right now. I'm going to find someone." Lu Fei interrupted what the driver was going to say, and he could see that the driver was an honest man.

"Okay!" The driver agreed and immediately started the car. It seemed that he could see that the few thousand yuan was nothing to Lu Fei, so he didn't refuse.

The straight-line distance between Silong Town is not far from Lujiaogou, only five or six kilometers, but it took half an hour to drive, and it took several dirt slopes before driving into Silong Town.

Lu Fei was slightly surprised when he looked at the Silong Town in front of him, because according to the poverty of Lujiaogou he had seen before, he thought that Silong Town would not be much better, but Silong Town in front of him was completely different from what Lu Fei had guessed before. The town was very prosperous and had a large area, and it could even be comparable to the size of a small county town in the south of the Yangtze River. As he walked along the way, he had all kinds of entertainment facilities such as bars, nightclubs, and kTVs, which was completely beyond Lu Fei's expectations.

"Sir, I'll wait for you outside. Go in and find someone." It was obviously not the first time the driver came to Silong Town. He parked his car at the gate of a school with "Silong Town No. 1 Middle School" in a familiar way.
