Fat dead, reborn

It was daylight, and the sound of running footsteps suddenly sounded on the quiet path.Hao Pang was still hesitant at first, but then he picked up his pace slowly.

The bumpy dirt road, the lush green old banyan tree, everything is so familiar, and the dusty memories in the depths of his heart flow out little by little with the wind in his ears, which almost brings tears to his eyes.

"Hoo~" Hao Pang panted and held his head up. The dark brown wooden door had many scratches back and forth.Hao Pang stood firmly in front of the door, stretching out his hand to caress the copper ring and the notch, without even noticing that his index finger was covered with a lot of dust and sawdust.On both sides of the gate, the old and faded Spring Festival couplets, and the banners of wealth and prosperity, all stared at him quietly, as if they were welcoming children returning home.

Hao Pang's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

He turned the doorknob, and the unique sound of metal collision reached the eardrums.He opened the door, and the morning light suddenly shone down, and the light filled his eyes.He can't describe the feeling at this moment, it's like drinking a cup of strong wine in spring, which makes people feel warm after a sudden cold, and slightly drunk physically and mentally.

However, before Hao Pang was drunk, his ears keenly caught the noises in the lobby, and there were harsh scolding sounds.Hao Pang's expression froze, he quickly closed the door, and ran towards the lobby.

It is said to be the lobby, but in fact the furnishings inside are so simple and shabby. Now that someone smashed it, the table legs and sawdust were scattered everywhere, which added a little sense of existence to the empty lobby.

"Don't pretend to be poor for me. I only know that debt repayment is justified. If you don't pay back the money, I will bring my brothers here every day to make trouble!" The rough man's voice resounded in the lobby, and Hao Pang paced back and forth. Entering, the dim light reflected the man's ferocious face, which was not a good thing at first glance.

Hao Pang glared at the man viciously, then hurriedly looked around, and soon stopped at his mother who was protecting his cousin and huddled in the corner.Hao Pang ignored the cursing men, and looked straight at his mother. In the dark space, she was the only bright color, hitting Hao Pang's heart directly.

Hao Pang approached slowly, but before he reached the old lady, his eyes got wet. My mother 16 years ago, her hair was not yet gray, and the thin crow's feet seemed to be absent, and she could vaguely see the glamorous appearance when she was young.Hao Pang looked at the charming woman in front of him almost reverently, his lips moved silently, but he couldn't even say "Mom".

"Why are you crying? You have no ambition. A man doesn't flick his tears easily!" Mother Hao took her son into her arms with a gentleness that didn't match her tone.Her expression became more and more resolute, as if she stood there like a copper wall, strong enough to withstand all wind and rain for Hao Pang.

Hao Pang held back the sobs that were about to overflow with his fingers, and the light in his red eyes flickered.He closed his eyes and said silently, Ms. Hao Qilan, let me protect you this time, Mom, I'm sorry, and thank you.

Hao Pang knew that now was not the time for sensuality, so while these men were smashing things, a few middle-aged women entered the lobby, and they stood leisurely in the distance, separated from Hao Pang and the others by a huge space, Obviously not to give charcoal in a timely manner.

The leading woman folded her hands on her chest, and her well-tailored clothes made her movements more graceful.She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Qi Lan, I said earlier, this person is self-aware. If you didn't get married back then, you wouldn't be dragging a bottle of oil now, oh, and this Ass debt, tsk tsk."

Hao's mother was silent, and didn't even give her a straight look.Hao Pang's dark eyes swept over the well-dressed women. In his previous life, Ms. Hao Qilan seldom mentioned the origins of these women in front of him. Hao Pang didn't think about other aspects of his family's good looks.

It wasn't until his mother passed away strangely that Hao Pang gradually found out the identities of these "neighbors" in subsequent investigations.

Ms. Hao Qilan was born in a landlord family. Due to historical issues, the land that originally belonged to Grandma Hao Pang was taken away by her brothers and sisters. Grandpa Hao Pang also chose to commit suicide during the catastrophe, and has not been rehabilitated so far.These people in front of them are all more or less blood related to Hao Pang, but they watched with cold eyes when their family was in trouble. The woman who spoke was the best among them. Ms. Hao Qilan is similar, Hao Pang thinks about it, the reason why this woman is so against his mother is because she has a crush on Yang Wanli...

The vicious men and the cynical women stared at Hao Pang and the others, and the entire lobby was enveloped in a low air pressure.Hao Pang stood in front of his wife and cousin, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

Huang Jingyi laughed mockingly: "Is there no one in the Hao family? I want you to be a kid to support the scene. Oh, I forgot. Throwing broken shoes!"

Hao Pang stared at Huang Jingyi, with a storm brewing in his dark eyes.In his previous life, his mother protected him too well. He never knew that the relationship between his mother and this wave of people had reached an irreconcilable point. Every time he saw the "neighborhood", he would smile and say hello.Looking back, he is really a fucking dog!

The women standing beside Huang Jingyi began to point fingers, and some clamored to ask why those men didn't do anything.Hao Pang saw that the group of debt collectors seemed to have really been teased, and his mind was running fast while he was anxious.

The leading brother picked up a broken table leg, and a cold light flashed faintly on the sharp section.The man weighed it up and down, and walked over slowly, with heavy footsteps that made people tremble.

The group of women also automatically muted their voices, watching the actions of the leading brother with a good eye.

Hao Pang gritted his teeth, he was not afraid of being beaten, but it was absolutely impossible for him to watch his old lady being beaten.Hao Pang clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was tense, ready to go into battle at any time, but he suddenly saw a red rope on the man's exposed wrist.

He tentatively said, "This year is your birth year, right?"

The elder brother who took the lead raised his eyebrows, and his bushy eyebrows trembled, making him even more murderous.Hao Shuya hid behind her cousin. At this time, only when a man stood in front of her could she feel a sense of security, even if the man was still a child.

Hao Pang kept his composure, even though the hand holding his cousin was already sticky, he didn't dare to relax even a little bit: "This red rope is very beautiful, it is made of wormwood and then boiled slowly , until the wormwood silks are boiled red, the production can not start. The diameter of each thread is no more than two millimeters, and at least dozens of wormwood threads are needed to form a rope, and when tying the rope, the strength should not be too great. Otherwise, the silk will break, and it should not be too small, otherwise it will be easy to loosen."

The elder brother who took the lead flashed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"We have a custom to wear red things in the year of birth, in order to hope that the year of birth will be smooth, free from illness and disaster. You must seldom go home and seldom contact your parents. Your family is afraid that you will not have their instructions. , forgot to wear red underwear and red trousers, and rushed to work for several nights to make a red rope for you, and told you not to take it off, they only asked for your safety."

The elder brother who took the lead stopped, frowned and pondered.

Hao Pang felt relieved, and he continued to follow the persuasion: "It's only natural to pay debts. We really don't have any money, and you can see that my family is almost destitute. I don't know what the person who hired you to collect debts promised you." , I only know that trespassing on a private house is a crime, and intentionally hurting someone is a crime, do you really need to go to jail for this money, your family, are you willing to watch their sons and relatives go in for this little money?"

"It's better for us to take a step back, at most one month, and if you come back in one month, I will definitely pay back the money."

The elder brother who took the lead looked back at the brothers and found that many of them had retreated.Datou, who had been with him for more than ten years, was rubbing a jade pendant in his hand. It was begged by Datou's mother from Bingxin Nunnery after three kneelings and nine kowtows.

After all, who wants to lick blood and do all kinds of bad things?All they ask is to support their families.

"Brother, I think this family is also very miserable, why don't we talk about it next time?"

"Yes, brother, let's forget it for today."

Hearing the words, the elder brother who took the lead had sharp eyes for a moment, then turned his head to look at Hao Pang and the others: "Today next month, not a penny is allowed! Otherwise, I wouldn't simply let you go like today!"

Hao Pang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Huang Jingyi's shrill voice suddenly: "Brother, don't listen to this kid, one month, huh, what a big tone, even if you give them a year, they won't be able to take it!" That's a lot of money. That's 3000 yuan, just this broken shoe that has been laid off, and her useless carpenter brother, tsk tsk tsk, brother, you are wise and powerful, don't fall for this family's plan to slow down the army, what a doll says can be done Countless." Huang Jingyi stretched out her slender index finger and pointed at Hao Qilan from a distance, the contempt in her eyes was not concealed.

The elder brother who took the lead frowned, and his gloomy voice was filled with anger: "You guys better not play tricks, whoever blocks my way of making money, I will cut off their way of life!"

Hao Pang gritted his teeth desperately, completely hating Huang Jingyi.He originally wanted to leave a way out for himself, even if he couldn't pay back the money after a month, a childish remark would be enough to get his mother out, but he didn't expect Huang Jingyi to insult them to such an extent.Even though he was mad and depressed, Hao Pang still maintained an innocent smile on his face, and looked at the lead brother without blinking, his obsidian-like pupils looked more innocent.

The elder brother who took the lead waved his hand and threw the broken wood to the ground, making a dull sound.He raised his nose high, making his already ferocious face even more ferocious: "Just tell me, when will you pay back the money? Don't you want to pay it? Okay, big head, write a note for them to sign. If you can't pay it back in a month, I will lead my brothers to flatten your Hao family's mud house!"

"Let me see which of you dare!"

Hao Pang followed the redeeming voice, and outside the lobby, two figures, one big and one small, approached slowly, against the light, like gods.
