Chapter 19: The Little People of the Eternal Lovers Part 1
The small building listens to the autumn wind all night, and lives in the misty rain all night long.
At the junction of Baiyun City and Qingshui City, there is a living area connected to one side. Most of the people living here are people who are working as coolies at the bottom of the alliance. Compared with the high-rise buildings and the luxurious places, this place is obviously a bit shabby and shabby.
Dirty. Near Baiyun City, there are several rows of houses. The roads between the houses are not wide and there are some potholes. The continuous autumn rain in the past few days has made the air here become a little moist. A gust of wind
When you blow it, there will be a musty smell in your nose. Because of the rain, many migrant workers stayed under the work sheds and chatted. If they were close, they would gather in groups to play cards, and some would play cards like this
They chose to drink a few sips of wine on some days. They watched the autumn rain, drank cheap liquor, ate simple meals, chatted about their parents and their family affairs, and lived a calm but fulfilling life.
At the door of a dilapidated courtyard, there was a lame old man sitting. The old man was about seventy years old. His hair was all white. He wore reading glasses on his eyes. He probably had an eye problem. He was holding a blue lotus handkerchief.
, from time to time, he stretched out his hand to wipe the secretions flowing out of his eyes. Next to the horse under the old man's body was a bottle of low-quality liquor with a high degree of alcohol. He had already drank most of it. Behind the old man were two rusty iron doors.
The word "for rent" was crookedly written in chalk. The old man just sat at the door, staring blankly at the pits made by raindrops on the moss-grown stones under the eaves.
In a work shed not far away, several children gathered around and made bowls out of clay. One of the children stood up, picked up the clay bowl in his hand, and smashed it with the mouth of the bowl down on the ground. With a bang, the bowl
There was a hole in the bottom, and the child shouted happily: "Hurry, use glue to patch it up for me."
The other friends looked at the cracks in the bottom of the bowl and put them on each other with glue. Listening to the children's noise, the lame old man at the door raised his head, looked away from the children, and looked towards the street.
In the distance, a man wearing a cloak and a pair of black rubber boots was walking this way.
"Brother Gu is back." A child with sharp eyes looked at the young man walking towards here with a bag of things and ran over. As soon as the young man rushed into the rain, a woman rushed to catch up: "My little one
Ancestor, it’s raining.”
The child was held in the woman's arms, still smiling at the visitor with open hands. Looking at the scene here, the visitor quickened his pace, came to the child, and took out a bottle from the bag he was thinking about.
Yogurt, the child took the straw, inserted it into the straw and drank the yogurt. After two sips, he puffed up his cheeks and rushed into the bottle. There was a disgusting sound in the bottle. After blowing twice, the child took one breath.
After finishing the yogurt in the bottle, he smiled at the visitor.
"This damn child." The woman looked at the child in her arms fondly, and smiled at the visitor who had just given the candy in his pocket to other children: "Gu Gu, I have told you several times, these little children
You can't get used to this little bastard, you'll eat it if you don't let me see you."
"It's okay, kid." Gu Gu smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and looked at the middle-aged men who were playing cards: "Uncle Wang, take it." After saying that, Chu Yu said
He threw the cigarette away and said: "I have to cook early today and play later." Wang Laoer, who was shirtless and drinking and with a red face, stood up to catch Chu Yu's eyes and waved to Chu Yu: "Gu Gu, come on.
Come on, take a few sips of your uncle's home-brewed wheat wine." As he spoke, Wang Laoer took a beating, and while opening the cigarette that Gu Gu threw over, he said: "It's so damn unlucky, I won't play any more.
If I lose again, my wife at home will not let me go to bed at night."
"Second brother, if my sister-in-law doesn't let you go to bed, you won't stay in bed and won't get off." Some of the card players were booing, but Wang Laoer giggled, distributed the cigarettes to the people around him, and looked at the wine bottle.
Wang Laoer walked toward Gu Gu, but before he had taken two steps, the lame old man who had been sitting at the door said: "Lao Er, please don't let Gu Gu drink your cat urine." Hearing the old man's words, Wang Lao Er touched it in embarrassment.
He touched the back of his head and was thinking about drinking. He was neither leaving nor returning. When Gu Gu saw it, he turned around and smiled at the lame old man: "Your Majesty, it's okay." After saying that, Chu Yu smiled at the woman beside him.
He came to Wang Laoer's side and took two big sips from the wine bottle. The spicy white wine entered his stomach. Gu Gu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and his face turned red.
Looking at Gu Gu's appearance, Wang Laoer laughed, raised his neck and took a few sips, and proudly said to Gu Gu: "How about it, is this good enough for me?"
Gu Gu smiled: "It's too spicy."
"Drink some more, drink some more." Wang Laoer said, lifting the wine bottle, but was stopped by the woman on the side: "Okay, Wang Laoer, Gu Gu, this kid is sincere, you are not done yet, you are not afraid
The prince will break your legs soon!"
Hearing what the woman said, Wang Laoer looked at the lame old man at the door, smiled and said, "Dad, don't stay outside when it rains. I have told you many times that rheumatism cannot be exposed to the cold."
"You need to take care of it!" The lame old man glared at Wang Laoer, and then looked at Gu Gu: "Xiao Gu, go upstairs and cook quickly. Don't worry about this useless thing."
"It's nothing to chat with Uncle Wang." Gu Gu said, walking towards the lame old man and taking out a dose of Chinese medicine from his pocket: "Your Majesty, this Chinese medicine is also a folk remedy I got by chance. It is said to be very effective in treating rheumatism. Please try it.
try?"
"Okay, okay." Taking the traditional Chinese medicine from Gu Gu, the lame old man nodded repeatedly: "I'll let my old lady take it in a while."
Gu Gu hummed, and then chatted with the old man for a few words. He walked into the yard and walked upstairs. When Gu Gu left, several people under the work shed began to discuss: "What does this Gu Gu do?"
What are you doing for a living? He doesn’t look like an ordinary child.”
"Who knows? Didn't he bring a sick girl with him that day? I haven't seen her these days. I wonder how she is doing?"
"What are you talking about! You said that you useless things can't do anything serious, and you are still nagging like a mother-in-law. Let me tell you..." The lame old man stood up and leaned against him at the door.
He raised his crutch and faced everyone: "If I hear any of you talking behind your back from now on, I will break your legs!"
Because of the lame old man's eldest son, the old man has a high prestige in this area. After listening to the old man's words, everyone obeyed and said nothing. When the old man left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, three or five people left in groups.
Coming over, Wang Laoer couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the person who had appeared. He shouted at the door where the old man disappeared: "Dad, brother is back."
Looking at the people in the rain curtain, everyone was surprised. I don't know who said: "Isn't Wang Hanzhi busy with things in the alliance these days? Why do you have time to come back so early today?"
After hearing Wang Laoer's words, the lame old man turned back from the house and looked into the depths of the rain curtain. Wang Hanzhi came to the lame old man. He first smiled and called Dad, then said hello to the neighbors, and then Wang Hanzhi
He helped the old man and walked to the hospital.
After asking the bodyguards to guard the door, Wang Hanzhi took out a cigarette and handed it to the lame old man: "Dad, I have something to do here this time." Wang Hanzhi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said: "This man is a fugitive.
Ask if anyone has seen it?"
There were two photos printed on the paper in Wang Hanzhi's hand. One was very clear, and the other was a little blurry. The word Chu Yu was written underneath the photo. Looking at the second blurry photo, the lame old man was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "
Fugitive?"
"The murderer is currently being investigated by the entire alliance. I am in charge of this area. The five major families are looking for him." Wang Hanzhi said for a moment: "Whoever finds it first will be a great achievement. Dad, please ask, if anyone has met him,
