Volume 2, Chapter 284: Meeting an Old Man in a Foreign Land
Gouzi, the buddy who once took Shuanzhu and the villagers to Old Man Dong's house to steal food, was kicked out by a large team on the way because his family's character was not good. Gouzi, his brother, and cousin
They were all captured by the strong men.
Now Gouzi's mother, sister-in-law, nephew, cousin-in-law, cousin-niece and others are all at Dongzhou's house, living by doing odd jobs for the dim sum shop and Qianlima Express Station. Although the family does not have strong labor, it is harder and not rich.
But life is much better than in my hometown.
Judging from Gouzi's condition, he wanted to catch the old beggar into the yard. How could he not ask for alms and still force him?
The little beggar also felt that something was wrong, so he did not run away by himself. He took a brick and threw it at the dog, "Let him go! Let him go!"
The murderous aura all over Gouzi's body was very intimidating. He was not a kind person at first glance, and he came here to kill the two beggars. Shocked by the murderous aura, Shuan Zhu calmed down and did not rush out to recognize his fellow villagers.
But he wanted to save the lives of the two beggars, so he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, brothers, this way!"
As he spoke, he stamped his feet and beat the wall, creating the illusion that many people were coming.
Gouzi was startled, let go of the old beggar, and threatened fiercely: "Keep your mouth shut, just pretend you didn't see me! Otherwise, be careful with your lives!"
After saying that, he quickly retracted the door and closed it, as if he was afraid of letting more people see it.
The old beggar pulled the little beggar and ran over like crazy. He thought there were many fellow beggars coming to help, but in the end he saw only Shuan Zhu.
Shuan Zhu winked at them, "Run quickly!"
The three of them ran together until they could no longer run, then they stopped in a small alley, leaning against the wall and breathing heavily.
Shuan Zhu cursed in his heart, these two beggars, old and young, really can run away!
The old beggar took his breath and spat out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm on the ground. He then slipped under the wall and coughed, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
The little beggar moved over and patted him on the back.
After a long time, the old beggar stopped coughing, tilted his head and looked at Shuan Zhu sideways, and said, "Thank you for your help."
The little beggar also said: "Thank you."
Shuan Zhu was also sitting under the wall, waving his hands and saying, "It's just a matter of hands when passing by."
The old beggar said: "If you need any help, just ask. As long as we can, we will try our best to repay you."
Shuan Zhu didn't have anything for them to do now, so he said: "There is nothing I need your help with now. We'll talk about it in the future if something happens."
The old beggar looked at him deeply and said, "Okay."
Shuan Zhu took out a steamed bun from his arms, divided it into three parts, gave a piece to the old beggar, and asked: "Who is your leader?"
The old beggar took the steamed bun, took a bite eagerly, and said, "It's Zhang Tietou."
Shuan Zhu nodded, gave a piece of the steamed bun in his hand to the little beggar, and ate one himself, "How many people are there in your group?"
The old beggar thought for a moment and said, "Sixteen, maybe seven."
Seeing that he was wary, Shuan Zhu stopped inquiring and asked instead: "Why did you offend that person just now? That person has murderous intentions towards you and seems to want your lives."
The old beggar sighed and said, "We don't know him at all. We just passed by the back door. We must not have seen him."
Shuan Zhu was puzzled and asked: "What do you mean?"
The little beggar had already devoured the piece of steamed bun. He winked slyly and said, "That courtyard is an outer room kept by a big man. Usually, only the young lady, two maids, and two wives live there."
Shuan Zhu understood and let out a lewd laugh. Gouzi's problem has not changed. He used to like to climb the widow's wall and steal other people's women.
He stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth and stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks and left. This little beggar was quite smart and worth observing. But they were wary of themselves and had to take their time.
He went to the place where other beggars gathered, broke off a piece of steamed bun, and chatted with a few young beggars. When dealing with beggars, nothing can bring them closer together more happily than giving them food.
Soon he got a lot of information.
When it was time for the regular meeting after dinner, we talked about seeing the dog.
Dongming Ziyu's pupils shrank and he said coldly: "I didn't expect that he is still alive. He is really lucky!"
It was Gouzi who beat Dong Youfu to death with a brick. It seemed that it was impossible not to avenge him, so he showed up at his door again.
Erlang gnawed on the peach and said, "That dog is not a good bird. He did a lot of bad things with you back then."
Shuan Zhu coughed slightly in embarrassment and said: "I was a bastard at that time. Didn't I change my mind after stopping from the brink?"
Erlang knew he had made a mistake, so he quickly said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Shuanzhu, I said it before."
Shuan Zhu didn't take it seriously, and said: "However, I see that Gouzi's violent aura doesn't look like he has reformed his evil ways. He is more ruthless than before."
Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Have you found out who raised the outer room in the yard?"
Shuan Zhu said: "No, this kind of thing is done secretly in casual clothes, and it is not easy for anyone to find out his identity. I will go back and squat for a few days to find out the current identities of the man who kept the outside house and the dog.
Found.
If Gouzi is still evil-hearted, let's talk about it separately. If he has no ill intentions towards us, then tell him that his family is in Dongzhou's house. He comes from the same village after all, so there is no deep hatred."
He looked at Dongming Ziyu and asked, "What do you think?"
Dongming Ziyu thought to himself that he had a deep hatred for him. He nodded slightly and said, "Find out his identity first. If you meet him, tell him the whereabouts of his family members."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "We have nothing to feel sorry for him, but the people in his family are very good people. I feel that I owe them all, so I have to be more careful."
