The years when I was an old man

After eating Yuanzi rice noodles, the few of us decided to find a place to rest.

We also need to discuss how to impress this Uncle Wang.

As soon as I was about to pay, I heard a roar of an engine coming from the alley.

Turning around, a jeep covered in mud was parked at the door of the small hotel.

Behind the jeep, there are two motorcycles.

The driver was tall and thin, with long, dirty hair, and chewed betel nuts.

Just as I was about to watch it again, Xiaoduo suddenly pulled me aside.

At the same time, she hurriedly said to the few of us:

"Hurry up and hide, don't let the other party find out!"

Knowing that Xiaoduo had sharp eyes, I immediately hid in the shop and asked:

"Xiaoduo, what's the matter?"

Leaning against the window, Xiaoduo watched the alley vigilantly, and said:

"Huang Ze is sitting in the jeep!"

Huang Ze?

I froze for a moment.

The last time I saw Huang Ze was in Bahuang.

The one-eyed three was abolished, and both eyes were blinded.

I thought that Huang Ze might end up with Cyclops for the rest of their lives, but I didn't expect that she would go to Li Rui.

The window of the store does not see the entrance of the hotel.

But at the moment, we can't go out either.

After a while, I heard Uncle Wang's roar from the alley:

"Why are you doing this to her? I'm already raising money. As I said, you won't lose a penny. You blood-sucking scum. Get out, get out!"

We couldn't hear what Huang Ze said.

In just a few minutes, we saw the jeep and motorcycle passing by our window.

After confirming that everyone was gone, the few of us walked out immediately.

In the alley, Uncle Wang was sitting on a stone pier.

He bowed his head and ran his hands through his hair.There are still a few photos scattered in front of him.

I can feel that Uncle Wang is in extreme pain at this moment.

He even turned a blind eye to the neighbor who was comforting him.

The four of us walked to him and casually glanced at the photos on the ground.

Just looking at it, I couldn't help frowning.

The photo was taken in a wooden cage made of logs.

The wooden cage has no roof, and plenty of sunlight shines directly into it.

In the cage, a woman was tied to a log with five flowers.

From the waist down, everything was soaked in dirty water.

This woman can no longer tell her age, scabbed blood is all over her face.

His long hair was stuck together in strands, and his body was also in scant clothes.

The whole person drooped his head, closed his eyes, and couldn't even tell whether he was dead or alive.

"Is this your daughter?"

I asked gently.

Uncle Wang was still clutching his hair tightly, silent in pain.

"Where is this? Do you need me to do something for you?"

Only then did Uncle Wang slowly raise his head, the moment he saw clearly that it was me.

The hope he had just ignited immediately dimmed again.

It seems that he has no confidence in me.

"Fang Chukai asked you to find me because he must think that I can help you with something..."

Uncle Wang's tone is no longer as blunt as before, but instead gives people a feeling of lovelessness.

"But I haven't contacted him for several years. He doesn't know my current situation. I can't help you now. Go back, don't worry, as long as I don't die, I will pay you back the 12... ..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Wang lowered his head again.

"The one who just came here is from Liu Yunxiu?"

I asked again.

Uncle Wang suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he looked at me in surprise.

"Do you know Liu Yunxiu?"

Perhaps Uncle Wang felt that most of Fang Chukai's friends were doing legitimate business.It is unlikely to know someone in the blue path like Liu Yunxiu.

I took out a cigarette, handed it to Uncle Wang, and after lighting it for him, I said:

"Liu Yunxiu and I should be considered acquaintances. To the point where he wants to kill me and I want to kill him..."

As soon as I said that, Uncle Wang couldn't help shaking his finger holding the cigarette.

Looking at me, the previous contempt was gone.

"Your daughter owed him money at the casino, right?"

I was pretty confident in my analysis.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang shook his head.

"I don't owe him anything!"

Oh?

This was beyond my expectation, so I immediately asked:

"But the woman named Huang Ze who was looking for you just now, isn't he one of his subordinates?"

"You know her?"

Uncle Wang was even more surprised.I nodded.

Uncle Wang took a deep puff on his cigarette and cleaned up the photos in front of him.

He got up straight away and said:

"Go, there are too many people here, let's talk about it in another place!"

Follow Uncle Wang into the small hotel.

As soon as I got to his room, I couldn't help frowning.

This room is only five or six square meters, with a wooden single bed.

The once white sheets and quilts have turned yellowish gray.There are even mottled blood stains on it.

Next to it is a painted wooden chair and a small round coffee table.

Apart from these, there is nothing else in the room.

Thinking about it, Uncle Wang used to be considered beautiful, but now he lives in a simple small hotel.

It may really be true of the sentence, "Everyone has a moment of glory, don't take a moment as forever."

I sat on the wooden chair, and Uncle Wang sat by the bed.

The three of Xiaoduo could only stand aside and listen quietly.
