Chapter 854 People’s words are scary
Long Er got out of the car with his luggage and called Mr. Long.
"Brother, I'm here, where are you?"
"Boy, are you here? Look at the Taiqinggou Lake. I'm on top. Come here."
"Brother, is this ice solid? Don't be kidding, I'm still young."
"Little calf, look up and I'll use my phone to draw you a dragon and then a rainbow.
I'm on top, are you afraid of wool? ”
Long Er had already reached the edge of Taiqing Valley and was a little afraid to go up. The snow was a bit thick and he couldn't see the ice surface.
There were indeed several figures in the middle of the lake in the distance. One of them picked up the flashlight of his mobile phone and gestured in the direction of Long Er.
As for whether it's a dragon or a rainbow, I definitely can't tell.
It seemed that it was not Mr. Long’s joke, so Long Er cautiously stepped onto the ice.
Fortunately, apart from the crunching of the snow, there was no sound of the ice cracking. It must have been frozen solid.
The snow was very thick, and it was a bit slippery when stepping on the ice. Long Eryi started walking very fast, but after falling several times, he began to slow down.
It's more reliable to be more stable. Bones are brittle in the winter, so if you break a bone, there's nowhere to go.
As he got closer and closer, he heard the sound of shaved ice, which made Long Er feel a little anxious.
What are you doing standing in the middle of the lake in the middle of the winter, shaving ice?
Is it going to go fishing?
Fishing for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a week, what kind of fish did you catch?
At what level are animals protected?
After grinding and chirping, I finally reached the side of the shadows. There was no lighting, so I relied on the weak flashlight of my mobile phone and the starlight reflected by the snow.
When you look at this job, you just don’t want to be too conspicuous and act in secret.
"Boy, you crawled here, why are you so slow?"
The person who spoke was Mr. Long, who was using his mobile phone to shine light on the other two people shaving ice.
Seeing Long Er coming, the man who was working stopped the ice ax in his hand and looked at Mr. Long.
"He is your brother, is that true?"
Long Shaoyi pulled Long Er and introduced him.
"This is my eldest cousin and second cousin from my fourth uncle's family. Just follow my call. Their family calls in circles in this village.
This is my brother, the person I found, absolutely reliable. ”
Long Eryi looked at these two people. They were tall and tall, wearing coats. Their faces couldn't be clearly seen. It was pitch dark, so you couldn't shine a flashlight on their faces.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for the three of them, and said hello politely.
"Hello, eldest cousin, hello, second cousin, just call me Long Er, smoke first."
Everyone smoked cigarettes, and on the dark lake, Long Er used the light from the cigarette butts to vaguely see the faces of his first and second cousins.
Even the beard, yes, except for the big beard on his face, nothing else can be seen.
If there was anything special, it was the moment when sparks flickered, the light in their eyes.
That kind of state that Jingguang Long Er was very familiar with was a state of extreme desire for money and worldly things. It seemed that they were all from the same group.
While the two of them were taking a breather from smoking, Long Er asked Young Master Long in a low voice.
"No, Brother Long, you didn't mean to offend someone and run away"
Young Master Long stepped on Long Er with his foot, telling him to shut up, and said to the eldest cousin next to him.
"Brother, please work harder. The fish will be there early. If you can't get in by then, it will delay things."
The eldest cousin finished his cigarette in one gulp and picked up the ice ax again.
"Xiaolong, don't worry, I won't delay things. I'm getting impatient. I'll get the chainsaw."
"Don't, it will make too much noise. I will take him to put his luggage and come back."
After Master Long finished making arrangements, he pulled Long Er towards another direction.
"Little calf, don't talk nonsense. I'm here to invest, not to run away." Long Er followed Mr. Long closely, holding his arm in his hand.
"Brother Long, I don't know. I won't say it next time.
What are you investing in here?
Isn't it just a big blister?
No, how do you have money to invest? ”
I asked this, but I also saw it just now. Those two cousins really listened to Mr. Long's words, acting like wage earners. Is Mr. Long really the boss?
“Talk less, work more.
If you can't do that, I'll give you travel expenses and go back quickly. ”
Young Master Long stopped, looked at Long Er, directly showed his cards, and made a request.
How could Long Er not know that it was time for him to express his stance?
"Brother, since the third child died, you are the closest person to me in the world. I will do whatever you ask me to do, no matter what."
Just as Long Shao was about to nod with satisfaction, Long Er's strange mind began to wander.
"Well, no, brother, you are the second closest to me, and the first is my partner."
Well, let's be second. Young Master Long doesn't care much about his ranking in Long Er's heart.
"How about big brother, you should be the third closest to me. I want my mother to be the third closest to you, so my father doesn't have to. He has been beating me since I was a child."
The top three were not bad. Young Master Long felt that he had to be content, and suddenly thought of something along the lines of his train of thought.
"Boy, where does your first love in kindergarten rank?"
After Long Er was reminded, he was extremely annoyed and embarrassed to tell Mr. Long.
"Boss, why don't you line up in the fourth line?"
It was over, and he finally made it to the top three. Mr. Long felt that he couldn't give him a chance anymore, otherwise it would be difficult to get into the top ten, although he didn't care much about his brother's ranking.
"Okay, okay, I'm living in Diyinzi at my fourth uncle's house now. The conditions are a bit tough, but I can't last a few days anyway."
With that said, he had already walked to the lake and lifted a cotton curtain from the side of the firewood pile.
A downward step appeared in front of them. After Long Er and Long Shao entered, they found that it was quite big and warm inside.
The big kang, which was more than ten meters long, was very hot. There were six or seven big men sleeping on it. There was also a child sleeping in the middle. His little face was flushed with heat, and he slept peacefully.
As soon as Long Er looked at the child, the gossip in his mind began to emerge involuntarily.
"Brother, is this Zhao Erniu's son?"
Mr. Long tucked Zhao Xile into a quilt and nodded.
"Well, Zhao Xile, you are obedient."
"Brother, there are rumors in the world that you have contributed to Zhao Erniu's son. It seems to be true. He looks really like you."
Um?
When did such rumors begin?
Mr. Long's face turned a little dark. He was obviously very loyal and courageous, but he did something righteous, yet he was rumored to be sordid.
"What did you say? Why haven't I heard it?"
Long Er lit up a cigarette, but Young Master Long knocked it away. He pointed at Zhao Xile, indicating that children should not smoke.
"You said Liu Xiaohua was your childhood sweetheart, and she was given to Zhao Erniu by you while she was pregnant with your child.
Later, Zhao Erniu died, and Liu Xiaohua, an orphan and widower, couldn't survive. You went bankrupt and borrowed a lot of debt to help your biological son.
But Liu Xiaohua didn’t forgive you for your unfeeling, so she left you the child in anger and went away
They are all rumors, brother, don’t take them to heart, I don’t even believe them.
I have been playing with you since I was a child, but why didn’t I know that I have a childhood sweetheart named Liu Xiaohua?
Right, big brother? ”
You don’t even believe it, do you still need to ask me?
Mr. Long's face turned even darker.
People's words are to be feared. It's really okay to spread gossip, but it must be worth fearing.
