When he heard that I was Zhou Wu's brother, the big man rolled his eyes, but did not let go of the hand holding the back of my neck. He pinned the wine bottle in his left hand to his waist, frowned and asked me: "Which Zhou?"
Wu?"
I could feel the heat under the cauldron, and the position I was being carried was extremely ugly, but I had no choice but to shrink my legs and hastily tell some information from Zhou Wu.
For example, Zhou Wu’s appearance, manner of speaking, etc.
"Oh, it turns out to be that boy!"
King Zheng finally let go of me and put me on a wooden chair in the shop like a chicken.
The smell in the store is quite pungent. The damp smell is mixed with some messy odor. It feels like the smell is comparable to that of a garbage dump.
Not only was it smelly, but the seats were also filled with dust. At first glance, the entire store was described as sloppy.
"Little brother, since you are the brother of that guy Zhou Wu, you have to take care of my business."
King Zheng rubbed the old-fashioned razor in his hand on a piece of black rubber. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and was handsome, but he had a bad smell.
Fortunately, I have been picking up garbage since I was a child, so I am completely accustomed to these smells.
"As you can see, my business is bleak, the involution is too heavy, and no one comes to shave my head even when there is a discount. It's so difficult!"
King Zheng didn't ask me much else at all. He complained to me with a look of despair, saying that he hadn't opened for nearly five days, so he was so excited to see strange customers.
I thought it was normal for you to have no business. With your drunken and fierce appearance and the environment in this store, how many people would dare to come?
Besides, you are forcing people to take care of business. Looking at the bright razor in your hand, I don’t dare to say no. If this guy cuts you off with a knife, I will probably burp!
To be honest, I was quite scared, but because I wanted to help Zhou Wu, I had no choice but to sit on the chair, take out a large banknote I received from the music store from my pocket, and flash it in front of King Zheng: "Brother, you
You don’t have to worry about shaving my head, this money and this pack of cigarettes are all from me to honor you!"
King Zheng's eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed the hundred-dollar bill and my cigarette in his hand and asked me: "Little brother, I didn't force you. This is your voluntary filial piety as a meeting gift, right?"
"
I hurriedly said that I was right, and then King Zheng laughed, folded up the dazzling razor in his hand, and with a flick of his finger, the razor disappeared from my sight.
I didn't see clearly where he hid the razor, and of course I didn't dare to ask any more questions. I rubbed my butt on the chair as if on pins and needles, and asked tentatively: "Brother, now we two can talk about Zhou Wu."
?”
King Zheng was repeatedly twisting the banknote with his fingers to confirm its authenticity. The greed in his eyes made me frown.
I thought to myself that Brother Wu might have made a mistake. Is Prince Zheng reliable? Is he really a good brother Zhou Wu has known over the past few years?
"It's real money, hehe..." After King Zheng confirmed it, he put the big banknotes into his dirty trouser pocket with a smile, lit a cigarette, and smoked as he pleased.
He sat down on the chair opposite me and said in a puff of smoke, "Tell me, why did that bastard Zhou Wu ask you to come to me?"
King Zheng looked sturdier than Zhou Wu. He was wearing a singlet, and the muscles in his arms that he folded up when he smoked were strong. No wonder he was so relaxed when he carried me.
"Something happened to Brother Wu. He asked me to come to you and told Brother Zheng that you would definitely help him."
As soon as I finished speaking, King Zheng waved his hands and said to me: "Little brother, you are thinking too much. Zhou Wu and I are just ordinary friends. If something happens to him, it is none of my business. If you come to me, you are looking for fault."
People."
I was stunned when I heard King Zheng continue: "I borrowed a hundred yuan from Zhou Wu but didn't pay it back, and he said he didn't want me to pay it back. That's the only relationship between me and him."
My brows furrowed even more tightly. This shouldn't be the case. If the two of them really had such an ordinary relationship, Zhou Wu would never let me come to the village in the city to find Prince Zheng.
Could it be that Zhou Wugao was interested in his relationship with King Zheng? Or maybe, time has diluted everything, and King Zheng had already regarded Zhou Wu as a normal relationship?
Just when I was doubtful, King Zheng took up another cigarette. He flicked the previous cigarette butt with his fingers, and accurately flicked the cigarette butt through the thumb-thick hole of the stove to the bottom of the earthen stove.
I secretly praised this move. It seems that Prince Zheng is a master of martial arts!
"Although I'm not familiar with Zhou Wu, for the sake of him lending me a hundred yuan, little brother, tell me, what happened to Zhou Wu?"
King Zheng added: "I don't want to owe anyone too much, so the hundred yuan will be my reward for helping him this time. No matter what happens to him, I will help him to the end!"
I smiled, and when I looked at King Zheng again, I thought he was actually quite handsome.
You mean, Zhou Wu will ask me to ask King Zheng for help. Zhou Wu understands King Zheng’s temperament.
Next, I did not hide anything and told the general situation of Zhou Wu's accident, but I did not say that Zhou Wu gave me the jade pendant and escaped to the black coal mine in other provinces.
King Zheng didn’t ask. After he learned what had happened, he looked at me differently. It felt like being suddenly stared at by a wild bear. His whole body felt like a light on his back, as if it was coming at any time.
He might have been slapped to death by King Zheng.
Very dangerous!
I clenched my fists subconsciously, not knowing why Prince Zheng looked at me with such a terrifying look.
I was stared at by him eagerly for nearly twenty seconds. I felt my heart beating so fast that it was almost suppressed, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
King Zheng sneered and said, "Good boy, did Zhou Wu give you that thing?"
I felt a chill in my heart, and my mind immediately shifted to the fake jade pendant I was wearing around my neck.
Although Prince Zheng didn’t clearly say what ‘thing’ it was, when I saw his fiery gaze wandering around the red rope around my neck, my heart suddenly became brighter.
Yes, King Zheng is concerned about this fake jade pendant that Zhou Wu asked me to keep.
"Relax, I won't rob you."
Suddenly, King Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I insulted Zhou Wu's brother. When I wanted to see that thing, Zhou Wu would rather fight with me than give me a look. Now I see that he actually gave that thing to me."
The fact that you wear it shows how good that guy is to you!"
I looked at Prince Zheng uneasily, feeling uneasy for a while. I could tell that Prince Zheng knew about the fake jade pendant on my chest, and he seemed to be very interested in it.
Also, from King Zheng’s words, I can also hear how much Zhou Wu trusted me when he gave me the fake jade pendant!
"Okay, that bastard Zhou Wu is really good at calculating. If you let a little lamb like you take the initiative to deliver it to your door, he will know that I will never be embarrassed to snatch it!"
Prince Zheng no longer looked at my red string, and he suddenly said seriously: "A gentleman does not take away from others' favor, little brother, you can rest assured. Tell me, how can I help you? As long as you can speak out, I can go up and down the mountain of swords."
You Guo, I, Prince Zheng, will come with you!"
The sudden change in King Zheng's attitude made me more and more curious about him, but I didn't ask any more questions. The most urgent task was that I had to cooperate with King Zheng and find a way to help Zhou Wu clear his grievances.
"I'm going to take the liberty of calling you Brother Zheng." I let out a sigh of relief. When King Zheng said he could call me casually, I told him my plan to help Zhou Wu, and King Zheng nodded frequently.
I finally said: "Brother Zheng, without further ado, let's start taking action tonight!"
