Chapter 49: Fist is the last word!
Chapter 49: Fist is the last word!
The oil lamp was dim, and the raindrops slapped on the car wall, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.
Inside the car, the oil lamp was dim, so dark that Li Haitang could only see the deep outline of Xiao Lingchuan, his eyebrows and eyes were all hidden in the shadows that the light could not reach.
In the mountains, there were no pedestrians, and the cold wind came in through the gaps in the car windows. The atmosphere was quiet and eerie, like shooting a ghost movie.
After a while, Li Jinhu's upper and lower eyelids fought, and he let out a well-proportioned breathing sound.
"Brother Xiao, if you can't sleep, let's talk."
Li Haitang covered the quilt and sighed faintly. Although he was surprised when he showed his medical skills last night, he didn't ask anything. This made her a little guilty and wanted to explain a few words.
The two are getting married, and they will be a family in the future. He has never liked to express his thoughts, and is very silent most of the time, but his strong aura makes you unable to ignore his existence.
"it is good."
Xiao Lingchuan leaned against the car door. He took the thin-mouthed copper pot from the small red clay stove, made a cup of **** tea, and handed it to Li Haitang.
In cloudy and rainy days, the humidity is heavy. Drink some **** tea to warm your stomach and drive away the cold. He had never been in close contact with a woman, so he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"The border town is the farthest place I have been to so far."
Li Haitang took a sip of **** tea, resting his chin, his eyes wide open, "It's best to talk about the customs and customs of various places, and what adventures did you encounter when you were walking the darts?"
"Every time we go on the road, there are twenty or thirty people in the bodyguard's team."
Walking darts is more difficult than taking goods. Almost every trip will encounter thieves and robbers. The escorts are relatively valuable items. They often sleep in the mountains and have to wake up when there is a disturbance at night. Basically, they cannot sleep well.
At that time, Xiao Lingchuan was still a rookie, and because he was just doing things in a dull manner, some people thought he was a bully, and he had bad intentions, guarding against himself. After the man was discovered, he was framed.
"It's too shameless, then how do you explain it?"
Li Haitang was very helpless, no wonder the people in Lijia Village called Xiao Lingchuan a savage, he lived alone in the mountains for many years, dealt with wild animals, and his face was not pleasant, the villagers were always afraid of him.
He is taciturn and clumsy, he must think that the innocent are self-clearing, but if you don't defend yourself, how will others know that you are innocent? Only when you are exposed, so the default.
"I have no explanation."
Xiao Lingchuan didn't bother to make excuses for what he hadn't done, anyway, that person later confessed himself.
"Ah? How is that possible?"
Li Haitang had black lines on his face.
In the business of being an escort, character is very important. If you lose your reputation, you may not be able to survive in this business in the future. Businessmen only care about how much profit they can get, and they will not suddenly show kindness and give you a chance to reform.
Li Haitang pondered, most likely it was the bodyguards working together to exclude outsiders. Seeing Xiao Lingchuan was on the road alone, without the help of his brothers, he planted and framed him, and took a share of what he got and gave extra money.
"With fists, he finally admitted."
That period of past happened many years ago, Xiao Lingchuan downplayed it, and for a long time afterwards, he didn't go to **** again. I was hunting in the mountains, I had enough money to spend, and I didn't plan to marry a wife and have children. I lived alone, carefree, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"puff…"
Li Haitang smiled lightly, fists are the last word, and those idiots have bad luck, when a bully encounters a tough opponent, she said with a smile, "That's what it means, stealing chickens doesn't pay off."
Earning money is to live happily, and the most important thing is to enjoy life under the condition of no worries about food and clothing.
Xiao Lingchuan frowned, is this analogy appropriate? Even if he himself was the chicken, he didn't get any rice.
After breaking up with that group of people, everyone treated him indifferently, he didn't care, and he was not good at dealing with others anyway.
"If you want to talk about adventures, it counts."
Xiao Lingchuan recalled that in late autumn three years ago, around this time, the bodyguard bureau he was in received a business order to transport the coffin of a rich lady back to his ancestral home for burial.
After all, they were escorting the corpses of the dead. The head of the **** didn't want to accept this kind of thing at first, which was unlucky, but the other party was their regular customer. The family's jewelry business was big, and there were several shops in Daqijing. The other party gave a generous reward, transporting the corpse, everyone avoids on the road, there is no risk, the money is easy to get, the head of the **** thought that this business is purely profitable, so he nodded and agreed.
"Before going on the road, the coffin stopped at the bodyguard bureau. The bodyguard on duty at night said that he heard a woman crying in the middle of the night."
Moreover, the benefactor made a strange request that the bodyguard who escorted the coffin must be an unmarried person. It is said that it was proposed by the monk in the temple. Miss Qianjin died suddenly and had deep resentment, so she must find someone who can restrain her.
Rainy night continued the gloomy topic, and Li Haitang couldn't help shaking the goosebumps on his body, pretending to be relaxed: "Then why do you want an unmarried man to send the coffin? Is there a relationship between people and ghosts?"
Xiao Lingchuan couldn't say it too directly, in fact, he required the bodyguard to be a boy, such a man is full of yang, and ghosts can't get close to him. According to folklore, an unmarried woman who died suddenly, with a lot of resentment, would haunt in the middle of the night and find a man to marry her in the dark.
After taking the order, the head of the bodyguard was in a state of desperation. As long as he asked, everyone's heads would be like a rattle, and they all said that even if they were not married, they often went to Huajie and Liuxiang to have fun when they were walking the bodyguard. Evil, no one dares to take risks.
"Go for a walk and give me a thousand taels of silver, and I will agree."
Thousand taels of silver, back and forth for about a month, some bodyguards can't earn so much in their entire life.
Although it was late autumn, the weather in the south was still hot, and there were several cities to walk along the way. In order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, the lady was sealed in an ice coffin. Fortunately, they don't need to stop on the way, they just add ice cubes to the ice coffin every seven or eight hours.
"Then, what happened to you?"
Li Haitang was in a hurry, the story was half-told, not going up or down, so he signaled Xiao Lingchuan not to be tricky, and hurriedly continued, the savages are full of evil spirits, and the female ghosts are afraid, right?
Furthermore, his appearance is extremely ugly in the eyes of the people of Daqi. Everyone has a love of beauty, and I believe that ghosts are also like this. Female ghosts have to choose someone who looks good when they want to marry someone in the dark.
There were only four people sent to **** the coffin on this trip. Xiao Lingchuan was supposed to be alone, but the head of the bodyguard refused to agree. If he was the only one to go alone, he would get too much money and make a lot of money, so he made up pieces together. , from the relatives at home, coaxed and cheated, and got together with three unmarried boys.
"Those three people have no experience in escorting at all. In order to raise some black-hearted money for themselves, the **** did not say that this trip is to transport the coffin."
The three of them have not reached the crown yet, they are two or three years younger than him, seventeen or eighteen, full of curiosity about everything. The head of the **** drew a big cake for them, and they went out for a month, and when they came back, they would receive one hundred taels of silver each, plus a room in the town.
The conditions were attractive, and the three of them didn't know the truth, so they thought they would just transport an empty coffin, and happily agreed.
