Chapter 9: The Deal

If Grandpa's notes gave me the feeling of a thrilling and exciting experience, then in the past few days after Grandpa's death, it gave me the feeling of an infernal storm, after saying goodbye to Pops, I came back to my room and flipped out the flash drive and shoved it onto my computer. Once again, I opened the picture of the bizarre lotus tattoo on my grandfather's back. It was something I had never heard of before, but from Elder Huang's reaction, including the fact that my grandfather had never mentioned it to anyone in his life, I could surmise that the tattoo was very important.

It was a map, and the secret that the map was leading to should be very important, but what exactly could he be?

Grandfather body has a map of the matter, before his death, no one knows, but look at Huang Lao's reaction, he should be a long time ago to know the existence of this map, so after my grandfather's death will have a plan to get, according to his strength to see the words in my grandfather's lifetime, he can be captured my grandfather and then get, after all, my grandfather in the production team period is a small captain is not false. Later on, he was idle at home as a Feng Shui gentleman, but Huang Lao did not do so.

I certainly do not think that behind my grandfather there is also a force that makes Huang Lao afraid to do, I can only guess that perhaps this tattoo will only appear after the death of my grandfather, this is a kind of tattoo that will only appear on the body, I think about it, only this one possibility.

The night is already very deep, but I can't sleep, from my grandfather's death to the present things are as exciting as a TV drama, so that I originally feel boring life has become unusually exciting up, perhaps every man's bones are unstable factors, this ambush like the atmosphere instead of letting me feel very excited.

First of all, I should know what this totem represents, and this answer my old man can not give me, know the person should have my grandfather, Huang Lao, Zhao Bajie can only be counted as half, because I think my grandfather could not tell this secret to the godson and hide the biological son, if there is still a half will know, that is, has been out of the study of Taoism for decades of grandfather's dear friend He Zhenzheng.

I want to know the significance of this totem, can only start from these people, Zhao Baji does not necessarily know, and my old man can not see through the people I do not dare to go easy to contact, then I can only start from a person, and that is the old man Huang, which makes my whole body trembling with excitement, starting from the old man Huang which is undoubtedly like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.

I once again opened the computer, clicked on the QQ mailbox to find the e-mail reply: "If I'm not wrong, you should be surnamed Huang."

Mail is not compared to QQ, it is not possible for everyone to crouch at the computer at all times, I itself would like to go tomorrow to see his reply, but not yet closed the computer received a reply from the opposite side: why do you ask?

"It should be very clear thing, besides it is you who else would it be?" I asked, but in my heart I was snickering, have come to this time, surnamed Huang you still give me pretend to be confused?

"I don't know any old man Huang, I only want to understand whether you buried your grandfather as I explained." A message came back from over there.

–In this case, I still concluded that this person was Huang Lao, and he was deliberately giving me a mesmerizing spell to disrupt my thinking.

"You don't need to care about how I buried my grandfather, in fact you and I should both be mentally clear that my grandfather wouldn't have swindled his body in any case, and all you want is just a totem. I can honestly tell you now that my grandfather has been cremated, there is no longer any chance of his body being fraudulent, and what you want is something that only I have in my hands right now." I replied, after typing such a paragraph I was even covered in a cold sweat, telling him that I had the pattern this was another gamble.

Either he comes and takes me captive or he makes a deal with me.

My bet is that I have Tiger and they have Zhao Baji in Locked Head Village, and they can't take me away categorically, in other words, this time I sang the opposite of my old man for once, and I think this Zhao Baji is credible. Think of him as my own second uncle.

This time, that side seemed to be discussing something, and it took a long time before replying to me with a message that said, "Tell me your conditions."

I secretly let out a breath, it seems that I gambled correctly, since he said he wanted me to make conditions, he chose to make a deal with me.

"First I have to understand what this totem represents." I replied back.

This time there was a longer pause there before replying to me, "I can't believe you don't even know what it is, not bad for a kid, but good courage, I can say this, this thing of yours doesn't have any significance in your hands, and it will also bring you a lot of trouble, five million dollars, and you give it to me."

I stared at this sentence on the computer screen a little shaky, what does five million dollars represent? This may not mean much to Zhao Bajie Huang Lao, but for me it is indeed a fatal temptation, I even imagined that if five million is piled up into a heap how big a heap can it be?

I heart in the rapid weighing of the pros and cons, I certainly know that the value of this totem is definitely in the five million or more, but the pivot is not a crime, I don't know what this is, the second words of this figure will allow me to fall into the entanglement of the old man in the yellow, the shot is actually not lost is a correct choice.

But after all, I did not make a decision right away, palms sweaty knocked a line past: "Wait for me to think about it."

Finished I closed the laptop, a night is difficult to sleep, in my mind grandpa brought me up from childhood kind face, his own notes among the stubborn young him, including five million cash piled up the appearance of the final I chose the strong.

Not for anything else, just because this is what Guo Gengchen took his life to guard.

–The next day, Zhao Bajie once again came to my house, said to my old man: "Sanliang has not yet worked, right? It just so happens that I've opened a new store over in Luoyang, and it's not a good idea to have no one of my own, so if you don't mind, let San-liang help me look after the store?"

I couldn't refuse this request, my grandma agreed on the spot, anyone can see how successful 8th Master Zhao is now, grandma said, "Let Sanliang go, Sanliang ah, you follow your second uncle to learn more skills, don't stay at home all the time just like your father."

My old man is a little difficult, Zhao Bajie pulled him out, also called me, "Brother, there is much safer than the lock village."

After saying that, he looked at me and my old man with a deep meaning.

I have to say, this Zhao Bajie speech is very quality, just such a simple sentence, contains the information let me and my old man at the same time frowned, I a fresh graduate college students can have what danger to go to emphasize that it is safer there?

After yesterday's incident, it seemed that the only person who could threaten my safety was Old Man Huang.

And why would Old Huang want to turn against me? That's because he wants what's on my grandfather.

When Buster Zhao said that, he was actually telling us that he knew that the secret on my grandfather's body that Old Huang wanted was on me.

This made me not know how to answer, my father also understood what Master Zhao Bajie meant in a flash, he said, "Whether it's Master Zhao Bajie or Master Zhao Lao Bajie, it's all too raw, I still like to call you Erdan, even though that's not a very good name for your current position."

Zhao Bajie patted my old man's shoulder and said, "Brother, I understand."

-My old dad's words are also very obvious, he said I hope you are still my younger brother, you can really be a child of the two eggs so simple, these two people have not gone to school, but listen to their conversation which the wit makes me feel that I read so many years of reading books are read to the dog, this ginger small although not bad, but still old hot ah! I'm not sure if you're a good person or a good person!

–The old man's words on the table with his agreement to go to Luoyang to help Zhao Baxi business, see Zhao Baxi's faction, I am his great nephew, go to help him take care of the business is also considered a young master, I am also very happy, in other words, this is for the ordinary people is equal to an opportunity.

Otherwise, I might be busy interviewing for a job in Zhengzhou right now, looking for a three thousand dollar a month job and then spending the rest of my life.

That night I found the paintbrush I used to learn the picture with and copied the totem behind my grandfather's back into the computer and gave it to my old man, and before I went to bed I once again got an email asking me how I was considering it.

"Sorry, I'm not short on money, I just want to know what the hell it is." I replied back.
