Chapter 28: Mayday
"I still seem to be unable to understand what exactly you are saying." I asked.
"The altar that Old Huang dug up that day was a fake, there should have been a real one in that place, don't you think so?" He asked me.
"Right. And then what?" I said.
"The real one is at my place, there should have been a Yellow Skinned Spirit inside of him itself, I did find a Yellow Skinned Spirit inside, but this Yellow Skinned Spirit is no longer the same Yellow Skinned Spirit, which means that the one that you let go is just the fake Yellow Skinned Spirit, while the real one was let go ahead of time, hiding it from all of us. " Mr. Zhai said.
"And then?" I probably understood what he said, but I wondered what it could have to do with me. Letting go or not letting go of that yellow-skinned spirit was nothing to me personally.
"I would like to ask you for a favor." Mr. Zhai said.
"I say you're not mistaken, asking me for a favor? What favor can I do for you?" I asked.
"You can, the relationship between your family and Yellow Skin is unclear, and in my current situation, no one can help me except you. I won't let you help me for nothing, I know you need money, young people have their own ideas at the same time they need money to support them, and if you help me, you're my friend, Huang Lao is just my guest. Between friend and guest, I know how to make a choice." Mr. Zhai said.
I lit a child's cigarette, this favor itself is not for nothing, he said he could give me money, for money, I lack, no one is not lacking money no? But I will not betray my principles because of money, the main thing is that the words behind him, after helping him, I will be his friend, he is implying that I, if I help him this time, he will help me in the future. In other words, he would be the undercover agent I had planted beside Old Huang.
"To be honest, I do lack money, but I don't want to make a big deal out of anything, I know exactly what I'm capable of, and at the very least, I want to know exactly what you want me to do now that you're looking for me." I asked.
Mr. Zhai pulled his sleeve up and stretched out an arm to me, "That's it."
I looked at it with a chill, only to see that on Mr. Zhai's arm, it was full of rotten meat, piece after piece, as if he had been plucked out with a knife, it looked very disgusting, I said, "I want the money very much, but I really don't know what I can do."
"I killed that weasel, this is that weasel spirit's revenge on me. To be honest, when Huang Lao looked for me I didn't want to take this job, but I owed him a favor before I couldn't help it, and if I caught the sealed weasel spirit at that time, I was sure I could kill it, that's why I took that job, and at that time, that place, it was a yellow-skinned tomb, and the burials were of three of the most reputable members of the yellow-skinned family, one of which is now in Huang Lao's hands, and was chopped off by me a , The remaining one, on the other hand, was let go, and without that chance to kill them all in one fell swoop, I'm no match for the Yellow Skinned Spirits." Zhai said.
"And then what?" I asked, "You want me to help you kill that old yellow skinned spirit, I'm sorry Mr. Zhai, I think you're looking for the wrong person, what you can't do, I can't do it even more, I can't earn this money, you should look for Huang Lao, he'll surely still know more powerful characters."
"No, the only one who can help me is you, Mr. Huang that person, I know him, at that time, beheading that little yellow skinned spirit, in itself, he could, but he let me do it, in itself, it is to push me out, I still can't not know what he wants to do? His history of making a fortune is a history of crossing the river and removing the bridge." Mr. Zhai said.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked.
"There's only one person who can save me now, and that's Huang Lao's senior brother, He Anxia. You should know about Master He, right?" Mr. Zhai looked at me and said.
I immediately stood up and said, "Stop bullshitting, okay? I admit that I do know of this person, He Zhengen, he is older than my grandfather, and there hasn't been any news coming back for over thirty years, not to mention whether or not his old man has sailed away to the west, even if he is still alive, can I have a way to find him?"
He pulled my arm, then he took the small leather bag beside him and said, "This is a gift to meet you, I heard Elder Huang say that your old man is the disciple of Realist He, and there is a possibility that he can contact that Realist He, and Realist He won't be dead because the Supreme View has not yet fallen. I believe him."
I glanced at the open fur, estimated that there are three to two hundred thousand inside, the heart is not greedy that is impossible, if not back to the village, this money I do not know how many years I have to struggle, for the sake of the money, I really not good to refuse, but I still said: "can not contact to the real He, that's my old man's matter, contact not, or the real He is not even able to save you, that's none of my business."
Mr. Zhai clasped his fists at me and said, "That's all I have to say, I understand, in any case, this favor of my little brother, I accept it."
Finished, Mr. Zhai left a business card, said there is news on the phone to him, Mr. Zhai said goodbye after I received the money, last time a million is a check, but this time it is cash, looking at this much cash I can not calm my psyche for a long time, how I have never found that the money can be earned so easily?
The next day, I returned to the lock village early in the morning, because this time is my own private work, I did not call Chen Jiuzi two send me, their own one person car back to the village to find my old man, that Mr. Zhai looking for me to do things told him.
"Now the Princess Tomb this side of the disturbance into this, if He Zhenzhen if alive, should also come back, you really can if, contact him ah?" I said.
When I spoke to my old man, he was at home tidying up his flowers and plants, and without even looking up, he said to me, "How old was I when He Zhengen left? How many years have passed since then, where can I contact him?"
"Dad, I feel like you're hiding a lot of things from me." I said to him, it was something I've been wanting to say to him for a long time, and in terms of Elder Huang's regard and Pop's behavior during this period of time, I even felt as if I've reacquainted myself with this man I've been calling Dad for more than twenty years.
Just before last night, I couldn't have possibly thought that he would be someone who could stab someone with scissors, but he did that.
He stopped what he was doing and said, "I'm keeping something from you?"
"Yes, haven't I? I am your own son, can't you even trust me?" I said aggressively.
"Are Lin Bachian and that Fatty Liu not the ones you provoked into the village? Also your second uncle gave you a store and you really went to be your manager. Do not count the idea in your own heart? Other I will not say, your second uncle's side of the business, you'd better not dip, if I'm not wrong, he and Huang Lao should be the same, but also do the business of inverted bucket, you do not see his understanding of antiques?" My old man asked me.
"This society, do what as long as you can make money on the line, do you care if he is a bucket of children or do what? Even if the dumping child so what? That some of the treasure buried in the ground rotten is not as good as digging out to see the light of day is not it?" I said.
My father glared at me.
I stood next to him for half a day, he did not spit again to speak, after a while I feel no fun, the heart is also quite aggrieved, I'm also considered their own business, for him to raise his hand to do things he died not to help.
Just when I was about to walk out of the yard, my old man stopped me, said: "Tell that Mr. Zhai, stormy night, lock head village to see."
I was overjoyed and said to my old dad, "Thank you, old dad!"
"Tell your second uncle, the Princess Grave is still not the time, everything should not be forced, depending on fate." My old dad once again explained.
"But Second Uncle is all set to run the sandpit." I said.
"Why does Huang Lao want to go? Do you think he's really afraid of the Yellow Skinned Spirit? You go tell him that He Anxia is still alive!" My old man glared at me and said.
-Getting this answer I was overjoyed, the matter of the Princess Tomb's side is actually something I don't really care about, because I've always felt that that level of competition nowadays I can't participate in it at all, I found my second uncle first, he was alone in the study fuming, and when he saw me come in he just nodded to me.
"Second uncle, my father asked me to pass on a message to you, the princess grave is not yet the time to move." I said.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "What. Did he say why?"
"He says Hoan Shim is still alive." I said. –This question made me think all the way, He Anxia He real person dead or not, and the princess grave can move have a ball hair has a relationship?
