The years when I was an old man

The man on the opposite side sighed heavily and said:

"Because, in the first battle when I first came out of the rivers and lakes, I won the opponent with a six. After I had you, I named you Chu Liu..."

As he spoke, he threw four sixes into the air again.

Looking at the playing cards flying in the air, he said slowly:

"Among the thousands of rivers and lakes, people only know that I am Melo. But no one knows, I still have a name, Chu Changfeng!"

what?

At this moment, I feel like the sky is falling apart.

Whether it's Merlot or Chuchangfeng.A name is just a code name.

And I think about it day and night, and it is my father who haunts my dreams.

That real, flesh-and-blood person.

"But you're not..."

"Dead? Do you want to ask this?"

The other person interrupted me, and he said the question I wanted to ask.

"When everyone thinks I'm dead, but I'm still alive. Then it proves that I want them to think I'm dead. Is it so difficult for half a life in the rivers and lakes? The only thing I'm sorry for is you , you have suffered so much for so many years..."

I pursed my lips and walked towards him involuntarily.

For so many years, my father is just a symbol in my heart.

How I wish I could hold his hand and touch his stubble like I did when I was a child.

As I got closer, his figure became clearer and clearer.

"Son, I am sorry for you. Give me a little time, and I will tell you everything that happened in these years..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms towards me.

I have long forgotten the feeling of my father's embrace.

I also reached out, wanting to hug him.

Just when the two of us were about to embrace each other, I suddenly raised my hand.

Towards his top hat, he teased it.

To my surprise, this person is very fast.He stepped back hastily.

But he was on top of the mound, he stepped on the ground, and staggered backwards.

He reacted quickly, and when he was about to fall, he hurriedly turned sideways to stabilize his body.

But as soon as he moved, a shiny knife was pressed against his neck.

"It doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost, if you dare to move again, I will cut your neck open first!"

Xiaoduo's cold voice came from behind him.

But he didn't show any fear, he just stood there, motionless.

I walked towards him indifferently, and said as I walked:

"Among the eight generals of a thousand families, the top eight generals are rooted in organizing, substituting, entering, preserving, and breaking up the game. The bottom eight generals have all kinds of methods, and they use all kinds of methods. One of them is summoning the soul. Inviting souls, pretending to be dead. I am not new to the rivers and lakes on the sixth day of the junior high school, so you still want to show off this little trick here?"

While speaking, I had already walked in front of him.

As soon as he raised his hand, he took off his top hat.

Although the moonlight was dim, I could still see the man's face clearly.

He looks like he is in his 60s, but he looks upright.

The moment I saw him, my first feeling was where I saw him.

But for a while, I couldn't remember it.

His right hand was still in the windbreaker pocket, and I suddenly remembered something.

Pulling his hand out, he saw that there were only two fingers left on his right hand, the thumb and the little finger.

Like a wooden comb, break off the teeth in the middle, leaving only two ends.

It's him?

Back then in Pengcheng, the old man I met when Xisuit Lin and I ate Chezai noodles.

Later in Phoenix Mountain, his gambling in casinos caught my attention.

He also gave the driver 10 yuan just to let the driver take him back to the city.

It's just that I remember that he didn't make money when he was in the casino. I thought he wouldn't.

But the move just now proved that he was not bad at Qianshu.

"It's you?"

Seeing that I thought of him, he suddenly laughed, and said loudly:

"My sixth grader, I didn't expect us to meet again!"

little friend?

Pretend to be my father and come to lie to me, how can I talk about "friends" with him?

"Why are you pretending to be Melo?"

I stared at him and asked a cold question.

The man laughed again and said:

"Life is miserable, and it's time to have fun. In order to repay the kindness of the half-bowl of Chezai noodles that day, I made a little joke with my little friend..."

It's easy for him to use this kind of joke to repay his favor.

While speaking, he raised his hand to remove Xiaoduo's knife.

"do not move!"

Xiaoduo scolded.

"Tell me, what are you trying to do by calling me here in the middle of the night?"

The man still had a smile on his face, and continued:

"I heard that my little friend on the sixth day of the lunar new year has always wanted to find out the cause of Melo's death, and I just knew it. Therefore, I deliberately traveled thousands of miles to the wild place of Bahuang. Just to tell you what I know one by one. !"

what?

I couldn't help but look at this person again.

The cause and effect I have been looking for can be easily obtained from him?

"Why, don't you believe me?"

I didn't say anything, just staring at him.

"Let your little friend take the knife away first!"

I glanced at Xiaoduo, and Xiaoduo took the knife away.

He moved his neck slightly before continuing:

"There are no more than ten people in this world who know the cause of Melo's death. And I am one of them. Little friend Chu, do you believe this?"

"I believe!"

From the fact that he knew that Melo and Chu Changfeng were the same person, it proved that he was not simple.

Or, I already knew it.

Or, it was learned from the old accountant just now.

Either way, it shows that he is not simple.
