Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 63—Drunk and Cause Trouble

two thousand? Deposit? Where is this...

Seeing Uncle Zhang with a sad look, I quickly asked: "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? By the way, you were going to leave just now, did you plan to continue working here? That's right, I miss you so much. At the age, it’s time to enjoy your old age and enjoy the blessing."

Uncle Zhang looked at me, as if he had something in his heart, but when he reached his lips, he swallowed again. In my impression, Uncle Zhang can be regarded as a cheerful and optimistic person, but today, his whole person has changed, as if he lost his soul.

"Uncle Zhang, I have taken care of you during this period of time. First, you are an elder, and second, I think you are more familiar with Uncle Zhang. So, if you have anything to do, you may as well tell me directly, as long as you are within the scope of my ability. I will do my best to help you."

"Help me? But, how can this help? According to your words, this should be called the cycle of heaven..."

"Uncle Zhang, how come I don't understand the more I listen."

"It's time to leave after living such a long time." It seems to me that Uncle Zhang has no energy at all today. He left the rocking chair and took out a few things from the drawer of the cabinet, such as fine tea, cigarettes, and more. Two bottles of good wine. "Xiao Qi, what you said just now makes the uncle listen very much. Take your words as conjugation... I have no relationship here for no reason... After I leave, these things are also left, it is better for you to take them. go back."

Money, tobacco, alcohol and tea, these four things are not very precious to me, but I can see that Uncle Zhang has carefully kept these things, and the value of these things in his eyes is obviously far more than that of me. However, the more Uncle Zhang is like this, I think there is something behind him, and it may not be small.

I temporarily set aside Bai Ling's matter, took Uncle Zhang to sit down, took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette for him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I heard what you said before, but your son brought you back from a business trip. , You give me these things now, no matter how thick my skin is, I dare not accept them."

"son……"

Uncle Zhang whispered several times, suddenly his expression changed, and tears could not stop falling down, which made me feel uneasy and frantic. After a long period of comfort, he finally stopped crying. At this time, Uncle Zhang finally opened his heart to me and said a private matter about him.

Uncle Zhang lived 70 to three times. Among people of the same age, he is optimistic and cheerful. It may be because of this reason that his physical fitness has always been good. However, this is only the surface of his self-deception.

Uncle Zhang was poor since he was a child, and his parents died very early. This is very similar to me, but he did not have the luck to meet Master like me. Uncle Zhang, who was only five or six years old at the time, was really helpless. The meal sold himself to a landlord’s household to work as a long-term worker. At first, it was herding cattle and other chores. Of course, during this period, the suffering was not a minority. However, this landlord's family still has some conscience, and did not make excessive demands on him. In this way, Uncle Zhang stayed at the landlord's house for twelve years.

Many people complain about their own destiny. Uncle Zhang is the same, but God is fair. He closed the door and opened a window for him at the same time. There is a third lady in the landlord’s house, who is one year younger than Uncle Zhang. She may have stayed in an eaves since she was a child. Uncle Zhang looked pretty handsome when he was young. Therefore, this third lady was in my heart very early. Planted a love for Uncle Zhang.

This was originally a beautiful thing, but the good is always a moment, and it is inadvertently obliterated in the cradle. It didn't take long for the host's family to learn about this, and without beating them, they locked Uncle Zhang in the wood shed and prepared to starve him to death. Fortunately, the third lady cried, made troubles and hanged three times, and finally saved the life of Uncle Zhang...

But because of this incident, the landlord's house no longer has a place for Uncle Zhang to stand, and he was driven out. At this time, it was the age of war, and Japanese imperialism was raging in China. Uncle Zhang promised the third lady to take the opportunity to build a career and marry the third lady in a glorious manner. Later, Uncle Zhang joined the Kuomintang and fought with the troops for several years. The 40,000 compatriots finally drove the little Japan out of China. At this time, Uncle Zhang was preparing to return to his hometown to complete his promise to the third lady, but he did not expect his hometown. Baptized by the war, most of the people in the village are no longer alive, including the third lady from the landlord’s house.

After that, Uncle Zhang had no intention of marrying a wife, and he was alone and widowed, but thinking that he would leave this world in the future, there would be no one who wears filthy filial piety, plus possibly fate, he adopted an orphan. From then on , Treat it as your own.

It may be that Uncle Zhang's life has been ill-fated and the variables are uncertain. He did not expect that the child he adopted was actually a wolf ambition. After he grew up, although he and Uncle Zhang retained the status of father and son, he did not fulfill his son's. Filial piety not only deceived Uncle Zhang's life savings, but also drove Uncle Zhang out.

Maybe it was the first day Zhang Uncle came here as a doorman, and he received cold eyes from others. Every once in a while, he would take out the money he saved and ran out to buy some tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc. Everyone would say This was brought to him by his son on a business trip. His self-deception method was still believed by people at first, but as time goes by, fewer and fewer people believe. And we have just moved here, if it weren’t for Uncle Zhang to tell me the truth personally, I’m afraid I would continue to believe it...

"I am an lonely person, maybe I have done too many wicked things in my previous life..."

"Uncle Zhang, you must not say that." My mood also became sad with Uncle Zhang. I never thought that there would be such a story behind the usually so optimistic Uncle Zhang. "Although the fate of this person is destined for three cents, but seven cents are held tightly in your own hands...In short, you have a clear conscience in your life, and you have no regrets."

I have been thinking of ways to comfort Uncle Zhang as much as possible, but I don't know what's going on. At this time, it became more and more chaotic. "By the way, you still keep these things for yourself."

Uncle Zhang said: "Don't you want it?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not disgusting, but you have earned these hard work by staying up late at the gate, and you should keep it for yourself."

"I'm a person who is going to leave, leave it to me to do..."

"Uncle Zhang, I have never understood. You said you are going to leave. Are you ready not to continue working here, or..."

"Xiao Qi, don't lie to me. If Xiao Jiang hadn't told me the truth last night, I didn't even know about it until now."

"My big brother, what did he tell you?"

It wasn't until I finally pried the words open in Uncle Zhang's mouth that I really knew why Uncle Zhang became so abnormal today. It turned out that we were out drinking last night, and both of them drank a little too much. When we asked Uncle Zhang to open the door for us, Jiang Yilong spoke out the result of seeing the face for Uncle Zhang last time. Therefore, Uncle Zhang wanted to leave with this mouthful, not because he was not going to continue working here, but because his life was about to end.

Knowing the end of life, why is it safe?

"He, he's just talking about it. He just drank his mind. Don't believe it, Uncle Zhang."

"Xiao Qi, you don't need to comfort me. I know what Xiao Jiang is like, and I speak truth after drinking... By the way, Xiao Qi, please help uncle look again. What day it is, I, I did it early A little bit of preparation..."
