Chapter 2: The Old Man Comes

I was indeed shocked when I saw this email, I've seen a lot of curses sent by some bored people, but this one email sent to me by someone I didn't know called out my name and my grandfather's name, and as he said, he only said it to make me believe what he said, and he succeeded, and I believed it.

I immediately made a call back to my old man and eagerly asked, "Dad, is my grandfather okay?"

"Fine, just had dinner, what's wrong?" My old dad said.

"Really quite well? You didn't lie to me?" I asked.

"Faulty." Pops hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone I still can't calm my mood, report the good news not to report the funeral which is also possible, is that sometimes the family loved ones passed away not to say to the people outside, for fear of affecting their work and study and so on, I'm afraid that my old man is because of such a reason to lie to me, then hurriedly made a phone call to my hair small tiger asked: "Tiger, you see my grandfather today? "

"See, the morning also see him go to the mountains to open up the land! Xiao San two I say your grandfather is also too diligent a little bit right?" Tiger said.

"You kid did not lie to me?" I asked.

"Lie to you dry eggs?" Tiger said.

I talked to him a few words, hung up the phone, just saw this e-mail was shocked for a moment, but now I'm a little angry, is this a more familiar with my people to send me an e-mail? But where is the familiar person who cursed my grandfather, who is still in good health, to die? I sent an e-mail back, "You're the one who's dead, your whole fucking family is dead." After replying, I clicked delete, the email ruined my mood too much.

Then three days later I got a call from my old man, who said to me in a very low voice: "Sanliang, come back, your grandfather is dead."

I didn't even ask why three days ago was a good person now how to give no, I only know that when I was a child will hump me on the neck, has always told me that study try your best is good don't need to be too reluctant to he has given me fortune tellers can't become what great literary old man no, and three days ago, he also went to open up the barren land!

I was in the car to hold back tears all the way finally in front of the house, looking at the familiar door hanging above the white couplets when the collapse of my family neighbors assisted me, I looked at the old man trips in the hall can not say a word, leaving only a full of sadness.

–I, as the only grandson, put on the mourning clothes, to every person who came to give incense to grandpa kowtowed to pay tribute to the grandfather, in the grandfather at home two days before the spirit of the stop, my mind is a blank, my mind is full of grandpa's shadow, in my memory, the old man seems to have been very stubborn and strong, he would only smile.

Locked head of the village in these years under the development of not so poor, but still an ordinary village, people will no longer rely on acres and acres of land for a living, with most of the villages in China is the same is to rely on the main business of going out to work, so the village is just well-off level.

But in my grandfather passed away the next day, the countryside of the road suddenly came a fleet of cars, which attracted everyone to see, and finally this fleet quite in front of my house, because my grandfather is a feng shui gentleman, before some bosses will drive over to invite him, really parked in front of my house when everyone did not much surprise.

But when I saw, or ate a shock, country folks may only recognize some of the modern Honda's car logo, these car logo maybe they do not understand so did not surprise, this team of seven cars, the head of a Land Rover, after the two are Mercedes-Benz in all colors.

The first car came down a person, looks unusually tall and very strong enough, all body exudes a middle-aged male kind of special charm, he got out of the car, behind the car one after another also came down a person, this person walks in the forefront, and the back of the people are standing in two rows, the middle-aged man became the protagonist, this time I am more surprised, the back of the Mercedes-Benz on the people, even is this middle-aged man's bodyguards, and this scene, the Mercedes-Benz is the most important thing is that it is not the bodyguards, but the bodyguards. I was even more surprised that the people on the Mercedes behind were the bodyguards of this middle-aged man. This is a scene I've only seen in Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster movies.

According to the rules, as long as it is to condolence people, no matter who I have to go kowtow, although I do not know this person, but still over the past kneeling handed three incense, this person did not say, his kind of unique temperament plus that a group of bodyguards to bring the invisible pressure, so that the presence of people are quiet, oboe team people have stopped blowing oboe looking at the crowd in the core of this person.

He did not say a word, took the incense and walked towards my grandfather's remains kneeling down, kowtowed three times, these three loud, scared the people next to the blink of an eye, the heavier the head on behalf of a person the more respect for the nostalgia.

This person's identity in my mind is the grandfather may have helped a rich boss, I still think, in the end how big a favor to him kowtow so heavy?

The man looked up, blood had seeped out of his forehead, and he pulled out a neat stack wrapped in newspaper and put it into my old man's hand, saying, "I'm sorry for your loss and give him a good burial."

The thing wrapped in newspaper was a stack of money, looking at the amount there should be ten or twenty thousand, I wasn't much surprised, this money might be quite a lot for the people of Locked Head Village, but it wasn't really much for a boss like this.

Pops took the money and returned a bow to this boss, and when he looked up he said to him, "This gentleman, please also leave your name."

And just at this time, that boss suddenly pulled something out of the inside pocket of his suit, I looked over and realized it was a wooden short sword, giving a shock, what was he doing pulling this out on an occasion like this?

I want to protect my old man, but at this time to see my old man's face in that instant turned pale without any blood color, his whole person is almost trembling outstretched his hand to touch that up that very funny and childish wooden sword.

That boss let go of his hand, the short sword to my old man's hand, he gently rubbed, and then looked up again, already full of tears asked, "Two eggs?"

The man in the suit with the domineering air knelt down to my old man and said, "Brother, it's me."

–All day long, the news boiled over, Li Erdan had returned! Li Guozhong's child, Li Erdan, has returned! Wealth and riches do not return to their homeland is like traveling in brocade clothes at night, there is nothing like returning to one's homeland in brocade clothes, this is a person who everyone thought had died as early as how many years ago, but now he has come back so powerfully!

Li Erdan and his entourage lived in the old mansion that has been deserted, this old mansion because of the grandfather's relationship has been kept, this is the old house of Li Erdan's family, I didn't read my grandfather's notes at that time, for the name of Li Erdan is only a little heard but not well known.

But in the past two days, the name exploded in my ears.

But my old man's face, after seeing Li Erdan back on the bad, I would have thought that this Li Erdan called my old man brother, this is not my more than a rich second uncle? From the villagers in the discussion I realized that the original my old lady orchid, is this Li Erdan's fiancée.

People talk bad, some say two eggs must find my old man's trouble, some say orchid is not lucky, so big a boss but ruined the marriage contract married my old man, this is not blind? This kind of words I certainly can not go up to refute, but I feel that the villagers are ridiculous.

I don't deny that my old lady is a very famous and beautiful woman in ten miles and eight villages.

But this Li Erdan, with such a status, will he lack women?

In any case, the arrival of Li Erdan made me turn from sadness to shock, and the death of the old man can be slowed down to accept, just the next night when I said what I almost forgot, I said to my old man Remember my phone call a few days ago? At that time I answered an email, the email said that my grandfather will die in three days, so I made a phone call, but at that time my grandfather's health is very good, you say so suddenly the person is gone, is it cursed by that email?

"Where is the e-mail? Let me see!" My old man, usually a very steady and gentle man, suddenly stood up after hearing me say this, his expression almost hideous!

I told him that it was an email and that I had deleted it, but that email was very short, and after I repeated the content of that, my old man's expression became very odd.

"You know something? Could my grandfather have been killed?" I asked.

Instead, he shook his head.
