I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her
Chapter 567 Zhu Guan, Zhu He!
Chapter 567 Zhu Guan, Zhu He!
The flight took more than three hours.
Let Chen Xiao and Lao Gui settle down in the provincial capital city where Zhu Nianying’s hometown is.
After arriving at the place, Chen Xiao and Lao Gui took a green train for five or six hours to Xiyuan City, where Zhu Nianying’s hometown is.
After arriving in Xiyuan, Laogui rented an off-road vehicle.
After another four hours of driving, we finally arrived at Zhuguan Town, where Zhu Nianying lived.
This journey was a bit bumpy for Chen Xiao, who was reborn from the afterlife.
But in today's era, it has always been like this to go out in places with underdeveloped transportation.
Zhu Nianying's family is relatively well off.
At least there is a train station in the urban area, there are buses going directly to the county town, and there are also shuttle buses going directly from the county town to the town.
So, along the way, Chen Xiao felt that he had wasted a lot of time on the road.
But overall, it’s not too much trouble.
And Chen Xiao knew that with the development of the times.
In a few years, a means of transportation called high-speed rail will gradually be rolled out across the country.
By then, the time people need to travel to many places will be greatly shortened.
We no longer have to travel to other provinces for several days and nights as we do now.
I still remember that in my previous life, Chen Xiao once encountered a passenger in a bad mental state on a green bus.
After riding for a day and two nights, I went crazy at the last minute when I was about to get off.
When Chen Xiao was recalling what he had seen and heard in his previous life, Lao Gui's car finally stopped in front of a muddy road.
Lao Gui frowned, looked at the road ahead, and said softly:
"Mr. Chen, the road ahead may be difficult to drive on. Please be prepared for a bumpy ride."
Chen Xiao nodded silently, and then the car continued to shake forward.
However, looking at the dark sky, Chen Xiao saw a hint of irritability and depression in Lao Gui's eyes.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao found a topic to talk about:
"Laogui, I haven't asked you where you are from yet?"
"I am from Macao!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was somewhat incredulous.
"You are actually from Haojiang! How come you don't have an accent at all? Your Mandarin is so good!"
Chen Xiao was very surprised. Lao Gui laughed and said:
"Mr. Guo and I met in Haojiang. Can you guess what I did before Haojiang?"
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "Your family doesn't run a casino, does it?"
Lao Gui quickly shook his head: "If my ancestors had that ability, I would not have followed Mr. Guo to Dongzhou, and there was almost no possibility of meeting Mr. Guo."
Chen Xiao nodded, and Lao Gui continued:
"To use today's terms, I was a stacker. When Mr. Guo went to Macau for fun, I was the one who entertained him."
"I made a lot of money from Mr. Guo, but you know our business. You can take any client to gamble, but you can't sit at the table. If you sit at the table, all your savings will be wasted."
"So you lost all your money at that time?" Chen Xiao asked.
Lao Gui smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I still owed some money to other places. At that time, I didn't pay it back, and they wanted to chop off my hands. In the end, it was Mr. Guo who saved me and helped me pay off the debt."
“I’ve been following him ever since.”
Chen Xiao doesn't like people who gamble.
And many times, he feels that it is difficult for gamblers to change.
"Then you haven't touched it since then?" Chen Xiao asked.
A hint of fear flashed across Lao Gui's eyes, and he replied:
"I did gamble. After I was in Dongzhou, I met a woman. She was my former love, but... she had a problem, which was gambling! At first, I tried to persuade her and stop her, but it didn't work. I had no choice but to control myself and stop giving her money."
"But later, she owed a large amount of debt. When I saw her kneeling in front of me in fear and panic and begging me, I fantasized that I could become the second Mr. Guo."
"So I started gambling again, thinking that I could win her money back with my gambling skills."
Chen Xiao frowned: "What happened next?" "I did win."
"Then how did Guo Qing deal with it?"
"I used the winnings to pay off my debts, but she chopped off her hand in front of me."
"I haven't seen her since then. I heard that she got married, and I also heard that she was sold for gambling. As for the end, I have no news either."
Lao Gui said this with a sigh.
We also passed this stretch of road full of potholes while chatting.
Soon, Lao Gui stopped the car again and said, "Mr. Chen, we have arrived at Zhuhe Village."
Chen Xiao raised his eyes, but did not rush to get off the car. Instead, he asked:
"Do you know a woman named Xiao He? Xiao means desolate, He means lotus."
"I haven't heard of it. What's the matter?" Lao Gui was a little curious.
Chen Xiao shook his head.
When I heard Laogui say that he was from Haojiang.
What surprised Chen Xiao was not only that his accent had completely changed.
What was even more exciting was that he wanted to see whether Lao Gui, who had worked as a code-jackpotter, had heard of the woman Xiao He.
Xiao He is the person that Qi Wei transferred three million to.
Also from Haojiang.
And Xiao He obviously has an inseparable relationship with the Sacred Heart Church.
Nowadays, Chen Xiao wants to know more about anyone who is related to the Sacred Heart Church.
But Laogui had never heard of it, so he couldn't force it.
After opening the car door and getting out, Chen Xiao looked at the somewhat shabby little village, and heard Lao Gui sigh:
"I can't imagine how that little girl named Zhu Nianying made it to Shenzhen from such a small village many years ago."
"At that time, if she didn't get out, her life would be ruined. But now, no one knows whether her choice at that time was the best. After all, there is a saying that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
Chen Xiao said this and walked towards Zhuhe Village.
When an outsider enters the village, the villagers will of course express surprise at the first moment.
But in every village, there are those who are taciturn, those who are afraid of strangers, and those who are naturally enthusiastic or brave.
Not long after the two walked in, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with messy hair walked over with a cigarette in his hand.
"Hey, where are you two from? What are you doing in our village?"
The dialect the other person speaks.
Chen Xiao and Lao Gui looked at each other, and the latter asked, "Can you speak Mandarin?"
Lao Gui still knows how to deal with things.
While questioning, he took out a pack of good cigarettes worth more than 40 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the man.
The man's eyes lit up when he saw this: "Yes, yes, I've been abroad before and learned Mandarin!"
The men do know how to use the foreign guns and local cannons, but they can only understand a little bit.
Lao Gui nodded: "Do you know where Zhu Nianbing's family is?"
"A Bing? Who are you?"
"We are from out of town, and we are here to ask him about his sister."
"Oh, about Ah Ying? It's been so many years, why are people asking about her again?"
The man should know a lot about the village.
But the village is not that big, and every household should be familiar with each other.
Lao Gui didn't say it clearly, but just smiled and found an excuse.
Hearing this, the man stretched out his finger and said, "Two hundred."
