Chapter 199 Like me?

When Zi Yangtao saw me staring at him, he smiled awkwardly at me and said, "Brother Chuanzi, I...I..."

"What?" I asked suspiciously.

He murmured a few words, basically telling me that he just went out to find all kinds of people, and he didn't know what happened. Those people of all kinds either didn't open shops, or they weren't in Nanping Town.

When I heard this, I was confused and asked, "Is this all the case?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, even the paper shop near your coffin shop is closed."

Hearing this, I frowned. There is indeed a paper-making shop near my coffin shop. It seems that the surname is Fan, and people call it Master Fan. He is in his fifties and is quite kind. It doesn't fit well with Master Fan. The two belong to the kind of people who hear each other's voices and don't get along with each other.

Later, my senior brother left, and I took over the coffin shop. I inherited my senior brother's thinking, and I didn't quite get along with Master Fan. Although we never quarreled, we were strangers when we met.

It is precisely because of this that I will find Zi Yangtao, otherwise, the first place I will go is the paper shop.

Seeing that I was silent, Zi Yangtao asked softly, "Brother Chuanzi, do you think they avoided you on purpose?"

I shook my head, gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "There are so many people, and I didn't offend them. Why do you avoid me for no reason, unless someone is secretly obstructing you."

It’s not without reason that I say this, it’s very simple, it’s normal for one or two to disappear, after all, no one is in a hurry.

However, everyone disappeared, which is unreasonable.

At this point in my mind, my first thought was that the people from the Eighth Office were playing tricks.

According to my first thought, I went directly to the mausoleum and asked Xie Leiting to make a theory.

Immediately, I immediately dismissed this thought, and asked Zi Yangtao: "Fatty, do you have time now?"

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

"Come with me to the next town." I said.

He immediately nodded in agreement and followed me out the door.

The town next door is not too far from our Nanping Town, about [-] miles away. It is called Dongxing Town. The economic situation there is similar to ours, and it is also very poor.

However, I heard from my senior brother that there is a well-developed business in Dongxing Town. It seems to be a coffin-carrying industry. According to the local name, it is called the Eight Immortals, that is, eight people carry the coffin and bury the dead.

Because of this, Dongxing Town has another name called Coffin Town.

It is worth mentioning that this Dongxing Town is particularly xenophobic. People from other towns like us go to Dongxing Town. Generally, two things will happen. If it is given, I can only say that new cars go in and broken cars come out.

One is to rent a car. In this case, you have to park under the archway of their town, and you cannot drive into the town. Once you drive in, the consequence is that even the person and the car will be impounded.

And Zi Yangtao and I are just poor students, obviously we rented motorcycles there.

No, when the archway in Dongxing Town was just established, the motorcycle driver refused to go in, left us under the archway, and left.

After the motorcycle driver left, Zi Yangtao stared at the archway, sighed deeply, and said, "Hey, if I was born in this town, I would be rich sooner or later."

I gave him a blank look, "Okay, stop mumbling, and hurry to find all kinds of people."

While talking, I walked towards Dongxing Town.

As soon as he entered the town, Zi Yangtao didn't know what was going on, and suddenly his whole body trembled. I asked him what was wrong, and he grabbed my arm, pointed to the left with the other hand, and said tremblingly, "Chuanzi... Brother, do you think that person is very similar to... you?"

like me?

I muttered, and looked along where his finger was, and found a 30 or [-]-year-old boy standing [-] meters away from us. He was of medium height, neither fat nor thin. Look, under the two sword eyebrows are a pair of piercing eyes, wearing a dark blue coat on the upper body, a pair of woolen trousers on the lower body, holding a schoolbag in the left hand, and holding a book in the right hand and reading it fascinated.

Maybe it's because the family conditions are not very good, the boy's clothes and schoolbag have many patches.

Rub, isn't this me?

I cursed inwardly, thinking that I was delusional, so I wiped my eyes vigorously, and then I took a look, yes, that boy looks exactly like me, there is no difference.

In an instant, my whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and I couldn't help shaking, and my mind couldn't help but think of my father's attitude towards me.

Ha ha!

It turned out to be the case.

I sneered, clenched my fists, and walked towards the boy.

"Brother Chuanzi, what are you doing!" Zi Yangtao grabbed me.

I threw his arm away and roared, "You're fucking blind, that man looks so much like me, it can only explain one problem, he's my younger brother."

"Wait! No, I remember you said your father gave birth to you!" Zi Yangtao grabbed me tightly.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and lost his voice: "You mean, your father has a concubine outside?"

I kept my face sullen, didn't speak, and slowly moved towards the boy.

After walking about three or four steps, Zi Yangtao grabbed me again, and said in doubt: "Brother Chuanzi, think about it carefully, in terms of your family's situation, what kind of woman do you think will have a baby with your father? It’s too late! From my point of view, there must be some misunderstanding, otherwise, let’s follow the young man to see the situation first, in case we hit the wrong person, I’m afraid the two of us will have to confess to this town!”

I thought, what Zi Yangtao said is quite right. After all, this Dongxing town is famous for protecting the calf near our town. Once someone from another town beats a local, some local residents will come out to help fight. Not to mention finding all kinds of people for the two of us, we guessed that even leaving here would be a problem.

At the moment, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. There was only one thought in my mind, and I had to figure out the identity of this young man first.

You must know that my father has a bad attitude towards me. This is a thorn in my heart, and I will not be unhappy if I don’t pull it out.

According to my current thinking, the reason why my father treats me badly is because there is an illegitimate child outside.

After making up my mind, I looked around and found a fist-thick wooden stick to hide behind me. Zi Yangtao asked me what I was doing with the wooden stick. I said, if your father had an illegitimate child outside, you would probably use a watermelon Knife!
Zi Yangtao smiled awkwardly, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, I glared at him, and immediately followed the boy.

What surprised me was that the boy seemed to be a complete nerd, holding a broken book and walking forward all the time, with an attitude of not listening to anything outside the window and only reading sage books.

Just like that, the boy was walking in front, and the two of us followed behind.

After walking for about an hour, the sky gradually darkened, perhaps because the handwriting on the book could not be seen clearly in the dark, the boy put the book away, and ran towards the village in front at a faster speed.

Zi Yangtao and I looked at each other and quickly followed.

Before the two of us reached the entrance of the village, we heard a thick male voice not far away, "Jiu Yazi, what are you doing, why are you coming home now?"

"Dad, I'm reading!" the boy replied.

Hearing this, I became more and more confused, does this boy have a father?Am I making a mistake?
No, no, definitely not, how could there be two people who are so similar in the world.

Thinking of this, I took out the wooden stick hidden behind me, and tiptoed into the village.
