Chapter 42 4. Reconciliation

If Niu Tradition is allowed to choose again, he would rather go back to prison. The outside world is scary. Let's just say that night, after he finished his task, he walked back.The wind was blowing on his forehead, and he felt cool.Now, his mind is clear and his reaction is very sensitive.Because Niu Chuanchuan knows that his new life is about to begin. He was not in a hurry to go back, and walked slowly on the street. Beside him were dark houses with closed doors, and there was a dead silence inside the doors. Niu Chuantong was looking forward to a person coming out of the house, it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman.He or she stood at the door, looked at Niu Tradition, smiled normally, and chatted a few homely words.Or, say nothing, just nod your head and say hello.

It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him normally. However, Niu Chuantong didn't see a single person coming out.He even suspected that it was an empty village. Pushing open the courtyard door, he immediately saw the old woman and the old man standing stiffly in the middle of the courtyard, as if they were waiting for him.Niu Chuantong was startled, and then went up and said, "The knife... I sent it to her." The old woman said, "Go to bed early." "I'll go back tomorrow..." Niu Chuanqi said tentatively. The old woman glanced at him and said lightly, "Oh, I see."

Niu Chuanzhong was taken aback, would they let him go?After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively said, "I'll... leave early tomorrow morning?" "Shall we send you off?" The old woman's tone was a little impatient. "No, no, I can go by myself." Niu Chuanzhong was ecstatic. The old woman said: "Tonight, you sleep in this room." After she finished speaking, she pointed with her finger. Niu Chuanzi looked in the direction of her finger. It was a low side room with no windows, like a boxy box.He nodded and walked over. The room was quite dark, and after Niu Chuanli touched the door, he found no switch.He took out his phone, pressed it, and the faint green light lit up.He saw that the room was empty, with a bed and a large wooden box.

Could there be someone hiding in the wooden box? Niu Chuanli didn't dare to sleep in this room anymore, he went to the door and looked into the yard, the old woman and the old man were still standing there, like two wooden figures.Surprised, he hurried back and closed the door. After a while, he couldn't help but opened the door again and looked out.The old woman and the old man disappeared out of thin air.At this time, Yuan Tian just flashed out from the opposite room, he ran timidly towards the corner, and ran back after a while, as if he had gone to the toilet. "Hey—" Niu Chuanzhong called out in a low voice.

Yuan Tiangang stopped and turned to look at him. Niu Zhongtong went up and said, "I can't sleep, so I can sit in your room, okay?" "Come in." Yuan Tian just walked in and turned on the light. There are no wooden boxes in this house. Yuan Tiangang was wearing unlined clothing, and he got under the covers after entering the room.Niu Chuanjian looked around and found that there was only one bed in the room and no chairs, so he had to sit by the bed. Niu Chuanchuan sneaked a few glances at Yuan Tiangang, and found the muscles on his face trembling. "Tonight...it's a bit cold." Niu Chuanzhong said without words.

The muscles on Yuan Tiangang's face trembled again, and he said, "It's a bit cold." "I'm going back early tomorrow morning. I've made a plan. When I go back, I'll buy a second-hand car and rent a stall to continue selling meat. I won't get involved in what you said..." "When are you leaving?" Yuan Tiangang interrupted him. Niu Chuantong said: "Leave early tomorrow morning." After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "Let's go, let's go, get out of this ghost place." When he said these words, the muscles on his face kept shaking, and he looked very frightened.

"Are you... all right?" Niu Chuanqi asked tentatively. "I don't know either." Yuan Tiangang's expression became depressed and terrified, as if he knew some danger was coming to him. Niu Tradition became more and more surprised.He recalled it carefully, and remembered that Yuan Tiangang had become a little abnormal since he got off the train. He looked restless, and he was a different person from before he got on the train. What happened to him on the train? "What are your plans in the future?" Niu Chuanzhong said after a while of silence. Yuan Tiangang said with a wry smile: "If possible, I would like to go back and continue selling rice cakes."

"It's simple." Niu Chuantong said with a sigh of relief, "Then you can go back and continue selling rice cakes. If you don't have capital, I still have some money here, so you can use it first." Yuan Tiangang looked at him, and suddenly said: "What if life is gone?" "What happened?" Niu Chuanquan was taken aback. After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Tian said hesitantly just now: "They recognized me, and they also know why I came. They are going to attack me." After finishing speaking, he looked at the door timidly, as if to The man who played against him is right outside the door.

"Who are they?" Niu Chuanzhong was stunned for a moment and asked. Yuan Tiangang said indifferently: "The same person who is planning Xuanzang's parietal bone relic. You have seen one, that is, the woman with Zhu Neng. Didn't you go to give her a knife just now?" "Oh, I've already delivered the knife to her." Niu Chuanzhong didn't want to discuss this matter, he had already begun to look forward to his new life. The two of them didn't speak for a long time, each smoking with their heads sullen. Niu Chuanchuan was a little sleepy, he wanted to go back to sleep, but when he thought of the wooden box in the room, his scalp felt numb, after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "I can't sleep in that room... let's change it? "

"What?" Yuan Tiangang was obviously distracted. "Go to sleep in my room, I'll sleep here..." Niu Chuanjian glanced at him, and said again: "If you don't want to, forget it, then I'll go back to sleep first." "Yes, yes! You can sleep here, and I'll go to your room." After speaking, Yuan Tiangang began to get dressed in a hurry.For some reason, his voice trembled a little. Niu traditionally let out a sigh of relief. After sitting on the bed and smoking a cigarette, he walked to the door and tried to lock it.The door had one of those very old latches, and it was broken, and the door of the house would not lock at all.Niu Chuanzi went around the house several times, but he didn't find anything that could close the door.

Tonight, the door will not be closed at night. After turning off the light, Niu Chuanquan touched the bed and lay down.The room was pitch black, with only a little night light peeking through the crack of the door, which looked very strange. He stretched himself on the bed, closed his eyes and planned to sleep.For the first time in so many days, he felt relaxed.Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard movement in the room, and he pricked up his ears. The sound is not coming from outside, it is inside the house!Niu Zhongtong opened his eyes, and through the dim night, he saw a man in a raincoat standing in the middle of the room, standing there like a piece of wood. Niu Tradition's bones were weak, and he yelled tremblingly: "Who..." The man in the raincoat rushed up and punched Niu Chuantong. The first punch hit his left eye, followed by the second punch on his right eye, and another punch on his nose. up, hitting him on the mouth one last time. The man in the raincoat punched and shouted: "Stay away from Zhu Neng! Get out! Get out! Do you hear me!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out slowly.He hasn't forgotten to bring Niu Tradition to the door. Niu's traditional tears and snot flowed out, and his front teeth seemed to be a little loose. He touched his face and his hands were bloody.He didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he got out of bed with the pain, and ran out staggeringly. That night, he hid in an abandoned hut by the side of the road, shivering.Finally, it was almost dawn when Niu Chuanyuan heard a car approaching. He went out to have a look and found that it was a farm vehicle pulling swill. He stood in the middle of the road, waving his hands.The agricultural vehicle stopped, and the driver looked at him warily. "Take a ride..." Niu Chuanqi said in a trembling voice. The driver looked behind him and made sure he had no accomplices before saying, "Come on." Niu Tongtong pulled his collar and got into the car.Fortunately, he bought a hat and a mask before boarding the train, which could cover the injuries on his face after wearing them. "Where are you going?" the driver asked. "Go to train station." The driver glanced at him and said nothing more. Sitting in the car, Niu Chuanzhong couldn't figure out why the man in the raincoat beat him.From the tone of his voice, he seemed to be sent by Zhu Neng.But this is wrong, Niu Chuanzhong felt that although he had the idea of ​​breaking Zhu Neng's bones, he did not do anything to apologize to him, and he had already expressed his kindness to Zhu Neng and expressed reconciliation, why did Zhu Neng still find someone to come hit him?Suddenly, Niu Chuanli remembered something - he took more than 30,000 yuan from Zhu Neng's family. Could it be because of the 30,000 yuan that Zhu Neng asked someone to beat him? No, the man in the raincoat only said to keep Niu Chuanchuan away from Zhu Neng, and didn't mention more than 30,000 yuan... After returning home, Niu Chuanchuan thought about it for a few days and decided to return the more than 30,000 yuan to Zhu Neng.He would rather die of poverty and starvation than worry all day long.In the end, he decided to give the money to Zhu Neng and put it back secretly. That night, Niu Chuanchuan came to Zhu Neng's house quietly.Zhu Neng's house was lit, as if someone was there.He didn't think of this situation beforehand, and he didn't know what to do.While hesitating, Zhu Neng came out from the corridor, and he walked towards the outside of the community furtively. Niu Chuanli glanced upstairs. The lights in Zhu Neng's house were still on. Was there anyone else at home?After thinking for a while, he quietly followed Zhu Neng, thinking that if he had the chance, he would return the more than 30,000 yuan to Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng has been wandering on the street, and Niu Chuanfa followed closely behind.After a long time, Zhu Neng walked into an alley.As he was walking, he turned around suddenly, and Niu Chuanzhong had no time to dodge, and they were face to face. Zhu Neng walked towards him. Niu Chuanzhong was terrified, he just stood there, motionless.Finally, Zhu Neng stood in front of him.His legs went limp, he fell to his knees with a "plop", and said tremblingly, "More than 30,000 yuan...I, I'll give it back to you." Zhu Neng was obviously stunned, he opened his mouth wide and didn't say anything. Niu Chuanfa hurriedly took out the more than 30,000 yuan from his pocket, held it up to Zhu Neng, and said, "Return the money to you, you, you... let me go." After a while, Zhu Neng said, "Look for a place to talk?" In a small restaurant, Zhu Neng ordered a few dishes and a bottle of white wine.Then, he poured Niu Tradition a glass of wine.Niu Zhongtong sat beside him, looking at him timidly. "Why don't you drink?" Zhu Neng asked. Niu Chuanli hurriedly picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, then put down the wine glass, and looked at Zhu Neng cautiously. "What... did you do to your face?" Zhu Neng looked at the bruised and purple wounds on his face and asked curiously. "Beating." "Who hit you?" Niu Chuanli first looked around. Several strong migrant workers were drinking, and the owner of the small restaurant was standing behind the counter to settle accounts. They were all normal people.He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhu Neng and said suddenly: "A man in a raincoat hit me." Zhu Neng seemed to tremble a bit, then paused before saying, "Why did he hit you?" At this moment, Niu Chuanyuan wanted to punch Zhu Neng in the face, but he didn't dare.He is not a timid person, but for some reason, he is becoming more and more afraid of Zhu Neng.Seeing him, Niu Chuanchuan felt his bladder swell and wanted to pee... Niu Chuantong took out the more than 30,000 yuan again and said, "I will return this money to you." "Why do you always give me money?" Zhu Neng was taken aback for a moment. Niu Chuanzhong was also taken aback. He didn't think Zhu Neng was lying... Could it be that the person he saw falling from the upstairs at Zhu Neng's house that night was not Zhu Neng? "That night, I took more than 30,000 yuan from your house..." Niu Chuanqi said tentatively. Zhu Neng couldn't understand any more, and asked blankly, "Which night?" "It was the night you fell from upstairs." Zhu Neng took a deep breath, looked suddenly enlightened, and then said: "The one who fell from the upstairs was Lao Yuan, and the more than 30,000 yuan was also his." Niu Chuanyuan was startled: "Old Yuan? Who is Lao Yuan?" "You don't know Lao Yuan?" Zhu Neng asked back. Niu Chuantong slapped his head and said: "I remembered, Yuan Tiangang told me about this person. He said that Lao Yuan was his neighbor, and that Lao Yuan died in a car accident. By the way, Yuan Tiangang and I went to him cemetery..." "You were also at the cemetery that night?" Zhu Neng couldn't help interrupting him. Niu Tradition nodded. Zhu Neng asked again: "Did you see three people? Two people, one tall and one short, and a woman..." Niu Chuantong hurriedly said: "I saw it, I saw it, one of them even kicked me, which made my stomach hurt for several days." Zhu Neng stared, stared blankly for a while before saying, "Aren't you in the same group as them?" "Aren't you with them..." Niu Chuanzhong said in a low voice. Zhu Neng was in a hurry: "On the train, didn't you conspire with them to frame me with fake money?" "On the train, didn't you let that 'red raincoat' make me dizzy?" Niu Chuantong was also anxious. "At Yuan Tiangang's house, didn't you take a brick to shoot me?" "Didn't you go to Yuan Tiangang's house to find me first?" "You even went to Huaguo Mountain to find me!" "If you don't force me, can I go to Huaguo Mountain to find you?" ... The more the two talked, the more excited they became.They all feel like victims. Suddenly, the two people stopped at the same time, and they both seemed to realize something.
