Chapter 22, Chapter 22

22,

"Thank you, Brother Yan, for your help this time, I..."

Yan Xiaoguo's voice was a little cold, but Dai Pingan didn't hear it. He wanted to say something, but Yan Xiaoguo raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't say too much! If you really want to thank me, just answer me a question honestly!" Yan Xiaoguo stared at Dai Ping'an with a livid face:
"Where did your braid go?!
Is it an accident, or is it a last resort? "

Dai Pingan understood everything at once. At this moment, he had more than 100 excuses to explain, but looking at the man in front of him, he chose to tell the truth.

"I cut it myself!"

"Okay! It's a man. Those gangsters often bully our countrymen. It's just a coincidence to help you, so you don't need to worry about it! Maybe you have your own difficulties, but there are different ways, so don't conspire with each other! Forgive me for not being able to get along with a I have forgotten my ancestors for many times, and the generation who worships foreign countries and flatters foreigners will go together, so farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiaoguo cupped his fists and turned to leave.

Dai Ping'an stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't say anything, and finally withdrew his hand helplessly.Yan Xiaoguo's words are quite correct, different ways do not conspire with each other!No wonder the Chinese people I met today looked at me strangely. It turned out that this was the root cause. Thinking of this, Dai Pingan couldn't help but smile wryly.

It was past noon, but Dai Ping'an didn't have much appetite, so he saved his food.He took a taxi and looked for it according to the address on the letter.He remembered that Dai Ping'an once said that he had stayed in Saint-Denis for a while, and it seemed that the address on the letter was the address at that time.Although he was no longer there, he still couldn't help but want to see it.

The carriage pulled him to a shantytown on the easternmost side of Saint-Denis and stopped.The houses here are all built by themselves, and some roads, not to mention horse-drawn carriages, can't be crossed even by pushing a small cart.After getting out of the carriage, Dai Pingan stepped into a puddle of muddy water, but he didn't pay attention to it. This is also the case on the streets of Valentine, and he has long been used to it.

There are a lot of people living in the shantytowns, and it looks like dragons and snakes are mixed together, but it is not difficult to find, because Chinese, blacks and Mexicans all have their own places.Under his inquiry, Dai Ping'an quickly found the place written on the envelope. It was a small one-story house built with wooden boards, and two people were sitting at the door washing clothes.

In addition to all kinds of tiring and dangerous hard work for Chinese workers here, laundry is one of the few other occupations that are allowed.But looking at the piles of dirty clothes in several basins, it is conceivable that this job is not easy.

There were two people washing clothes at the door, a man and a woman. Dai Pingan walked up to him and clasped his fists: "Excuse me, my brother..."

Dai Ping'an couldn't continue asking, because he actually knew the man who raised his head at the door.He couldn't help laughing, and after a whole morning of tossing, it finally paid off.

"Ah Guang? Long time no see! Hehe." Dai Pingan couldn't help laughing.

"Jin~Jin~Brother Jinxi?" A Guang also recognized Dai Ping'an, and he wanted to laugh too, but his smile was not very happy.

"Aren't you on the railway? Why are you back?"

"You~you, no, you, after that incident happened, the foreigner company was not satisfied, so Uncle Wu just~just~ didn't care about the matter, just~ just came back, and I also went back~back together."

Ah Guang stuttered a bit, but everyone who knew him knew that he used to speak not only without stuttering, but also very nicely, which won the heart of Uncle Wu, the chief supervisor of the Chinese workers at the construction site, otherwise he would not have been assigned to be the supervisor of the kitchen.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, hehe, why are you still stuttering." Dai Ping'an smiled brightly: "So Uncle Wu has also returned to Saint-Denis? Where do you live? I have to pay a visit."

A Guang didn't speak, but Dai Pingan didn't urge him because he found something more interesting.The person doing laundry with Ah Guang was actually a woman of Mexican origin, and inside the room made of wooden boards, there was actually a big red Double Happiness lettering.

Dai Ping'an smiled even more happily.

"Yo! So you are married, congratulations, it seems that I still owe you a congratulatory gift. How long have you been married?"

"Ten days."

"It's only been ten days. It seems that it's not too late for me to give you a gift. This is my sister-in-law, congratulations."

While talking, Dai Ping'an started to dig out things, A Guang subconsciously wanted to stand in front of the woman, but moved a few times, but finally did not move.

As for the Mexican woman, she couldn't understand Chinese at all. Seeing Dai Pingan smiling happily, she also smiled happily. When Dai Pingan took out the money, she smiled even more happily.

"Come out in a hurry, it's my kindness," Dai Pingan handed thirty one-dollar cash to the woman while speaking: "Take it, and do me a favor by the way, we are a little happy today, and we can help you." Shall I buy a bottle of wine, a bottle of whiskey is fine, we need to celebrate." Dai Pingan said the last sentence in English.

A bottle of whiskey is only a dollar.

The Mexican woman happily took the money and left, and A Guang wanted to leave too, but was stopped by Dai Pingan: "Where are you going? We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we have to celebrate. Why don't you invite me into the house? Let's go to the house first."

Maybe it was because his wife was gone, or maybe it was because others couldn't see him when he entered the house. As soon as he entered the house, Ah Guang knelt down for Dai Pingan.

"Brother Jin Xi, it's none of my business, it's all about Robinson..."

"Do you know where Robinson is?" Dai Ping'an continued to ask with a smile without changing his expression.

"How could I know, but..."

"Then do you know where his family is?"

"I don't know, it's my uncle who deals with them all the time, I'm just a small person, I..."

"Where is Uncle Wu, you always know, right?"

"I don't know too well. My uncle seems to live in a house on the north side of Saint-Denis, near the coast. He seems to live with his disciples."

"That's it, thank you, brother, why are you still kneeling, get up quickly." As he spoke, Dai Pingan patted Ah Guang on the shoulder, but the other party knelt even more deadly, and even hugged Dai Pingan's thigh :

"Please let me go, Brother Jinxi, I really know I was wrong..."

"My name is Dai Pingan now."

"Yes yes yes! I'm sorry little brother Dai Ping'an. I shouldn't have beaten him or robbed him, but I really didn't know he was trying to save you. Please, I really know I was wrong... "

"Know it's wrong? How to prove it? According to the rules of your fellow countrymen's association, it seems that you have to chop off your fingers to bully your compatriots. Why don't you chop off your fingers to prove it."

"Finger? That's a guy who eats. You can't chop it up. Please, brother Jinxi, please let me go. I just got married and chopped off my finger. How will I live in the future..."

Looking at the crying man with snot and tears under his feet, Dai Ping'an's heart softened.

"Forget it then. In this way, Dai Ping'an still has an old mother in the country, why don't you go back and take care of her?"

"Okay, no problem. From now on, his mother will be my mother. I have earned enough money this year, and I will go back next year. No, I will go back to take care of her old man this month. I will pack my things tomorrow..."

Ah Guang, who had escaped the catastrophe, was a little excited and didn't know what to say. Dai Pingan helped him up: "Don't worry, I'll send you to see her old man right now."

"what?!"

"Bah!"

Dai Ping'an left the room, turned around and closed the door.

Looking down, the shoes seemed to be a little dirty, but fortunately, there were only a few spots on them, and it was not serious.

He wanted to smile, but he couldn't, so he could only walk away silently with his head down.

The people in the shantytown continued their lives, as if they didn't hear the movement just now, even if they did, no one cared about other people's life or death, and no one dared to care about other people's life or death.

Out of Saint-Denis, in the northeast direction, there are several small farms where people raise cattle or grow vegetables for supply to Saint-Denis.There are also people who choose to live here, coveting the spaciousness and a yard for activities.

The former uncle of the fellow countrymen's association, Wu Haizhi, also lives here.The old man is 69 this year, with a gray braid hanging down his head, snow-white eyebrows and a long drooping beard. His skin is wrinkled because he has been working outside for many years.

Don't look at the old man looking old, when he was young, he was not ordinary. With a Liuhe sword dancing like a tiger, eight or nine ordinary people couldn't get in.But now it can't work anymore, my legs are suffering from rheumatism, and the family has to burn the stove all year round.

The cold wind from the sea was blowing, and Wu Haizhi, who was wearing a mandarin jacket over his gray gown, couldn't help adding two more pieces of coal to the stove.

In fact, in his capacity, it is not impossible to find someone to intercede, and move to the west of Saint-Denis, farther away from the sea, but he is unwilling.One is that the distance is useless, and the other is that he has no children all his life, and he prefers to be with his compatriots, his disciples and grandchildren.

Today, he prepared a table of food and wine at home, dismissed a group of apprentices, and waited for someone to arrive.After waiting from noon to evening, Dai Ping'an finally came.

"Uncle Wu, you are in good health." Dai Ping'an walked over, and he started to say hello from a long distance away.Wu Haizhi didn't get up, but motioned Dai Pingan to take a seat.

"It's okay, I can live for a few more years."

Dai Pingan sat down with a smile on his face, like a junior who came to visit the old man.Wu Haizhi was the opposite, he sat coldly, as if he was the only one here.

No one touched the wine on the table, and no one raised the chopsticks, the two of them just remained in a stalemate.The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled golden yellow on Wu Haizhi's body, but plunged the smiling Dai Pingan into darkness.

After a long time, Wu Haizhi let out a long sigh.

"Someone told me today that a dead person came to send money to the family, and I knew it was you who came back."

"I think back then, we picked you up in the woods and rescued you because we were all Chinese. Who would have thought that you would suddenly cut off your braids later, and who would have thought that Dai Ping'an The child will be so stubborn, everything is God's will."

"God's will? Why don't I believe it. I remember that Dai Ping'an carried me back from the forest alone. Later, you gave me a name, Jin Xi, surprise, hehe, what a surprise name! And if I remember correctly, it was because I was too weak to work after a few days of work, so you threw me to the side of the road to die again."

"But it's normal. There are no idlers on the construction site, and you can't afford idlers. You have nothing to do, but what's the matter with Dai Pingan?"

"That kid is stubborn, he doesn't want you to die, he said that as long as you have something to eat, you will be healthy, so he went to the cafeteria to steal things..."

"I'm not talking about stealing! Dai Ping'an went to the cafeteria to steal something, and Ah Guang taught him a lesson, nothing wrong with it. What I'm asking is, Dai Pingan came back with a gold ring in exchange for food, and Ah Guang snatched his ring, why didn't you care?"

"Does your fellow countrymen have rules, you are not allowed to bully your compatriots, and you are not allowed to rob your compatriots? Why do you pretend you didn't see it?"

"Just because he is your nephew! The only son of your dead brother! You pretended not to see anything just to protect him! Then your good nephew was beaten and dared not look for you, so he went to the captain of the guard, Robin That bastard, minister! Two people can't buy it by force? Dai Pingan is not willing, so he almost beat him to death?"

"I~ I did something wrong in this matter. I have already punished him. He is ignorant and regrets it..."

"Punishment? Regret?"

"The so-called punishment is to find him a foreign woman to carry on the family line? The so-called regret is to spend the wedding ceremony in the place where Dai Ping'an stayed before less than a month after Dai Pingan's death?"

"You~ how do you know?" Wu Haizhi was shocked.

"How do I know? Of course I saw it with my own eyes. You know how I found this place. It was your good nephew who told me himself. He didn't even hesitate. He was very happy!"

"You!" Wu Haizhi covered his chest: "What did you do to him?"

"What can I do to him, he regrets it himself." Dai Ping'an's voice slowed down, no longer as fierce as before:
"In order to make atonement, he promised to go back to take care of his mother for Dai Ping'an, so I helped him out and gave him a ride."

Wu Haizhi stood up, but he couldn't stand firmly. He could only support the table with one hand and point at Dai Pingan with the other. His hands were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.However, Dai Pingan took off his hat steadily and untied the turban on his head, letting his hair that had been suffocated all day feel the coolness of the sea breeze.

"It seems that you also know the news that Dai Ping'an's mother has passed away. Also, you don't really think that A Guang was expelled from the hometown association and let him do laundry in the house where Dai Ping'an lived. , he can sincerely repent. Besides, Dai Pingan can die, why can't he die, just because he is your nephew?"

"Remember! It's not that I'm cruel, it's your nephew, A Guang, who did it first."

Wu Haizhi's face changed, white and red at one time, and finally swallowed the stuff that came out of his mouth forcibly, and then staggered and sat down.After a long time, he began to speak:
"Then what about you, Jin Xizai, if you do things so desperately, you don't want to leave yourself a way out?"

"Retreat?" Dai Ping'an put away his smile: "Look at me now, do I still have a retreat? Also, my name is not Jin Xizai, but Dai Ping'an!"

"Good! Good! What a Dai Ping'an!" Wu Haizhi seemed to have figured it out, and relaxed: "Then what do you want to do next. Kill me? My old life is here, take it."

"I don't want your life. This time, I just want to ask you a question. Where is Robinson's family now?"

"impossible!"
