Return To 1998

When the sky was full of sunset, Tongdao Xu and Tonglin Xu walked towards the head of the village with their simple luggage. The luggage was mainly the pickles that their mothers brought them.

Both were delivered.

Xu Tongdao's side is his mother and sister, and Xu Tonglin's side is his mother.

When he was about to leave the village entrance, Xu Changsheng chased after him and said he wanted to send them off. Tongdao Xu looked at him and saw that Xu Changsheng looked a little embarrassed. The smile on his face was not natural, but his eyes were bright.

Tongdao Xu deliberately fell behind and walked with Xu Changsheng. After walking for a while, Tongdao Xu whispered, Changsheng! We are still brothers, right?

Xu Changsheng nodded quickly, Yes! Yes! Of course! Of course!

Tongdao Xu smiled and then said, If that's the case, then when I'm not at home, you can help me take care of my home! If, if Xu Hengbing acts as a demon again, you can help my brother, okay?

Xu Changsheng thought for a while, then nodded again, Xiaodao, in fact, you don't need to tell me this, this, this time when your Xiaolu and Xu Hengbing fought, I didn't know, when I knew, Xiaolu had an accident. I-I can't get in touch with you again...

Xu Tongdao snorted and said nothing.

After walking for a while, Xu Changsheng opened his mouth several times, and finally said: Xiaodao, I, I actually want to go to the county town with you to make money, that is, I can't walk away right now.

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly and shook his head slightly, It's okay! When you want to go in the future, let me know!

Getting this promise, Xu Changsheng smiled, his expression was much more relaxed, and his tone was much lighter, Oh, oh, good! Thank you, thank you, Xiaodao!

Tongdao Xu raised his hand and patted his back, It's okay! Don't be so polite to me, we are brothers!

Ai, ai!

Xu Changsheng nodded vigorously, smiling brightly.

...

Time is like water, moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

Under the starry night, Zheng Qing, in black clothes, black pants and black leather shoes, walked into Baiwan Village next to Xujia Village.

In the dark night, he wore a black sun hat on his head, which made him look a bit pretentious.

But his expression was very calm, and he didn't pretend to be a human being.

From the moment he walked into Baiwan Village, there would be a house dog standing up from time to time and barking at him. Zheng Qing turned a deaf ear. Only when a few daring local dogs rushed to him, did he stop. Looking at him coldly, the most daring black dog rushed in front of him, and when he opened his mouth to bite him, he was kicked away.

Not long after, Zheng Qing came to the counter of a commissary in the middle of the village where the lights were still on, and a young woman was knitting a sweater sitting inside the counter.

Seeing Zheng Qing coming, the young woman subconsciously raised her head and looked at him more.

It's really in the countryside, and it's a big night. People dressed as seriously as Zheng Qing, and people wearing sun hats at night, are a bit dazzling.

Are you shopping? the young woman asked curiously.

Zheng Qing hummed, took out ten dollars and handed it over, Bring me a pack of Ashima!

While speaking, he glanced at the room behind the young woman, because there was a very clear sound of mahjong rubbing from that room.

Oh, good! I'll get it for you!

The young woman took the money and happily brought him a cigarette.

Zheng Qing, who had bought the cigarettes, did not leave in a hurry, but stood in front of the counter, opened the cigarettes, and nodded his head.

He seemed to ask casually, Are you playing mahjong here?

The young woman looked at him with a bit of alertness, frowned and asked, What are you doing? You're not here to catch a bet, are you?

Zheng Qing smiled slightly and shook his head silently.

The young woman looked at him again, smiled, and said, Yes! Do you want to play two laps too?

it's OK?

Zheng Qing seemed to be moved.

The young woman saw you,

Immediately put down the sweater in his hand, got up and stretched out his hand to signal, Okay! Come on! I'll show you inside! It happens to be playing Pai Gow inside. It's not too crowded to play Pai Gow, come, come!

Zheng Qing smiled, flicked the ash on his hand, raised his foot and followed in.

Following the young woman, Zheng Qing walked into the room and saw more than a dozen people around a table, playing Pai Gow.

Outside the crowd, there are several old men and women watching the fun.

But Zheng Qing's eyes swept away from the faces of these people, and soon his eyes fell on Xu Hengbing's face in the crowd.

His eyes didn't stay on Xu Hengbing's face for a long time, and after about two seconds, he looked away without attracting anyone's attention.

The young woman in the commissary introduced him to the dealer who was playing Pai Gow. The dealer was a fat man with a big belly. Hearing this, he looked at Zheng Qing with a pair of urine bubbles, and nodded and smiled, Yes! As long as you have money, you can bet as you like! If you dare to sit in the village, I am not afraid of you coming to play! Haha...

Looking at the pile of money in front of him, it is estimated that he has won a lot of money tonight.

Under the scrutiny of more than a dozen people, Zheng Qing approached the gaming table and did not go anywhere else, he stood beside Xu Hengbing.

Xu Hengbing glanced at him impatiently, then scolded the dealer and urged the dealer to deal cards quickly.

...

time flies.

Behind the counter of the commissary, the young woman knitting sweater is still knitting, and the sound of playing mahjong can be heard from time to time in the room behind her.

Maybe it was late at night, and although the young woman was still knitting a sweater, her mouth couldn't help yawning.

Just halfway through a yawn, a loud curse came from the room behind her: Hit you Mabi!! You dare to beat Lao Tzu? Do you know who Lao Tzu is?

Let me clean your mouth when you step on the horse!! Can you give me another scolding?

This voice, the young woman heard in her ears, felt a little familiar, like the man in black and hat who bought cigarettes from her before.

She was taken aback, and the second half of her yawn was frightened away, but she didn't get up and go into the room to see what was going on.

These gamblers would quarrel occasionally, and she had long been accustomed to it.

He couldn't help but pouted slightly and cursed in a low voice: Noisy, you have the ability to fight! A group of unseeded...

Before she could finish her sentence, a loud bang suddenly came from the room behind her, as if a stool had smashed on the door. Because the sound was too loud and sudden, the young woman screamed in fright, and her butt fell from the chair. He slid up and down, and fell to the ground.

Before she could react.

In the room behind her, screams, dissuasion, and bang bang fight... and screams were heard incessantly.

Before long, the sound of fighting in the room disappeared, but the screams became louder.

The chaotic exclamations did not disappear either.

The young woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and she got up from the ground. She raised her feet and was about to go to the room to have a look. The door was suddenly opened by someone inside. She was wearing black clothes, black pants, black leather shoes, and a black sun hat. Zheng Qing lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and pulled the collar of his shirt. When he raised his head, he made eye contact with her. He also raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave her a wicked and maddening smile. gone.

The young woman stared blankly at his back, saw him take out the bag of Ashima while walking, bowed her head slightly, and lit another cigarette.

A person exclaimed from the room: Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing, don't move! Don't move! Your leg seems to be broken, oh! Who were you just now? Who do you know? This is too heavy. right?

Hearing this sentence, the young woman's face changed, her brows furrowed, and she ran into the room quickly. As soon as she entered, she saw Xu Hengbing lying on the ground in the middle of a mess of tables, chairs and benches, with tears and snot coming out from the pain...

His right leg is bent at a very strange angle, and most people can't bend it out.
