When she left, Xiaorou's eyes were red. Although she didn't say anything, she could feel a deep sense of reluctance. In the newspaper office, we were the only two people of similar age. I didn't feel very happy thinking about her being all alone in the future.
Okay, I reached out and touched her head. This little girl suddenly became well-behaved. I promised to come over and see her when I had time, and she responded with a tick.
Riding a shabby old bicycle that was left in the newspaper office and making noisy noises, I returned to my residence. For some reason, I was not in a good mood all the way.
I'm ashamed to say that the place I lived in at that time was a small house converted from a garage, not far from the newspaper office. It had a small bed and a broken table. Everything except the bedding was found in the secondhand market. It was cold in the winter.
, the summer is also cold, and it feels as uncomfortable as that cellar at any time.
I opened the only valuable tablet computer, and an email appeared in my field of vision. The message was from a teacher in college who taught psychology. He recently took on a project and asked me to help. I saw this email.
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. Anyone who has experienced this kind of poverty alleviation project knows that this kind of poverty alleviation project can be done as a side job to increase income. It must be an old man who came to see me specifically because he took pity on my situation.
I politely declined his invitation, and the cell phone on my side also started ringing. I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After I answered the call, I realized that the caller was my future boss, the chubby Jin Jiuye.
Master Jiu asked me when I would come to work. I said I could do it tomorrow, but he said that would be too late. There was a business tonight and he asked me if I could go now. At that time, I was still very interested in this kind of unpredictable work.
Curiously, and besides, this kind of mission that allows me to go out doesn’t happen every day. It’s the best thing to be able to get a commission and feel fresh and exciting. After a little hesitation, I went along with it as my money was a little tight.
agree to this matter.
At about 7:30 that night, a large dark green truck drove over. After honking the horn twice, I saw Jin Jiuye, dressed like Voldemort, waving to me with a fat man with a sinewy face.
"Your son?"
Pointing at the fat thief, I asked Jin Jiuye. I really asked because they looked so similar. From a distance, this guy looked like a smaller version of Jin Jiuye. But when he walked in
Only then did I realize that this guy was much stronger and darker than Master Jiu. Seeing that I was teasing him, the guy flicked his head and glared at me: "Fuck you, second uncle, you are still my grandson!"
The fat man said, glaring like crazy. I saw that this man didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so I became embarrassed. It wasn't that I was afraid of him, it's just that I'm a new guy and it's not easy for me to get into trouble with people when I meet them.
When there was a conflict, Master Jiu saw this and slapped him hard on the back of the head, then gave me a symbolic kick, "Just stop saying a few words and get in the car quickly! They are still waiting for us!"
Although the fat man was surly, he was quite wary of Jin Jiuye. After hearing this, he gave me a dirty look, then jumped on the driver's seat and stopped talking. I found it quite interesting to see him sulking there while lighting a cigarette.
Jin Jiuye gave us a brief introduction, and then we got a general understanding of that person. This little fat guy’s name is Jin Shiyilang. He is Jin Jiuye’s sworn brother’s son’s good friend. This guy used to be
He was a gangster. Two years ago, he got into a fight and maimed someone, causing a group of enemies to look for him everywhere. He had no choice but to run out and take this road after someone introduced him.
Unlike me, this guy is a distant relative of Jin Jiuye, plus a bodyguard, an assistant, and a driver. He is a multi-functional talent. In any case, he is also one of my seniors. I don’t want to be too pretentious in other people’s territory and take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
A few words of apology would be considered as giving him face. As for what he thinks, it has nothing to do with me.
On the way here, I asked about this business, and Jin Jiuye said that I wouldn't use it for anything, just watch it.
I was confused after hearing this. There was nothing to do. Why did he ask me to come here? He said, let me familiarize myself with the business process.
Well, I have nothing to complain about this kind of toying with people. People naturally have their own reasons for doing this. As a good employee, it is necessary to talk less and do more, so I tolerate it.
The little truck got on the highway and kept driving. It didn't stop until daybreak.
The little fat guy was in good spirits. He patted the car door and asked me to get off. Looking at Jin Jiuye, he had long been asleep with his head tilted to one side... His poor behavior looked like a slap on a field ridge.
Sleepy Zhu Bajie, I can’t say this, but that’s what I think.
After locking the car, we carried a bunch of luggage and entered a village. We walked in circles for a long time before we vaguely saw the pre-arranged meeting place. It was a reservoir, built against the mountain. Judging from its size, it should be
It's not small, the water is very clear but blue and bottomless.
It took about half an hour to walk around half a circle. Master Jiu's slender eyes never left the water. I followed his example and looked around, but I didn't find anything weird from beginning to end.
Minutes later, Master Jiu finally stopped, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "Xiao Hei, did you go to the wrong place?"
"How is it possible? The address you gave me is right here. If you don't believe me, take a look." The little black fat man said, took out a small piece of paper, and then found an electronic map that had not been updated in an unknown number of years and pointed it to us.
, "Look, look, this is the village, right? This is the reservoir nearby, right? The people we agreed to meet are all gone."
He said, looking at me a little irritably. As soon as he finished speaking, several tall men who looked like village cadres came to the side of the road. When those people saw us, they rushed over with cheers. The first person was
An old man with wrinkles on his face, when he saw Jin Jiuye, he pulled him over as if he were his biological father. He clasped his hands and asked for help. The level of enthusiasm was unbelievable. I took a moment to ask the little fat man.
, "Who is this?"
When Xiaopang heard this, he replied to me calmly: "Employer."
"What does he want us to do?" After hearing this, I asked again.
"I don't know about this either. It's either to save people or to grab some things. Then it's to check Feng Shui and get a horoscope or something. Oh, what's the use of asking so many questions? Didn't Master Jiu tell you when you came here? Why don't you do it to us?
In this industry, the less you know, the better. Remember, don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask. Get some more sleep during this time. Look at your bad looks and wear glasses... I really don’t understand.
Why am I looking for you? After a while, if you encounter a tough guy, what can a pretty boy like you do? Don’t pee your pants, no one will take care of you."
The little fat guy Jin Shiyilang looked at me and deliberately exposed the big gold chain around his neck that was as thick as a finger.
