During the day, the village became peaceful again as usual, but this time, when everyone saw Lao Qiao, they were like a mouse seeing a cat.
No one took the initiative to greet him in a friendly manner. Even if they saw Lao Qiao passing by, they would lower their heads unconsciously.
At that time, I had just finished cleaning up and came out of the chef's house. The woman who came last night hadn't gotten up yet when she saw Old Qiao standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, and the green soldiers around him looked like they were under a gag order. , I didn’t even dare to speak while standing guard here.
However, he looked around at this second, letting the mountain wind blow over him, like a king who was already in his twilight years, but still powerful.
What is he waiting for?
I returned to the thatched hut full of doubts and looked at it. After a while, the officer ran over.
"Old Joe!"
"Something big happened, our goods..."
He panicked and recounted the news he had just received. The general meaning was that Huzi had an unknown incident while transporting the goods, so he changed the itinerary that was supposed to send him across the border and then turn back, and led the people across the border. A thunder pool that should not be crossed was encountered by patrolling border guards. Except for Hu, Jiu Mengzi, Er Lao Wai, and Tubao were all killed, and Hu was arrested.
As soon as he finished speaking, the satellite phone in the room rang.
Lao Qiao didn't move.
The officer quickly rushed into the room, took out the phone and handed it over.
"Hello?" After Lao Qiao calmly answered the phone, as if nothing had happened, he answered in the most stable voice: "Really? Jiu Mengzi's wife and children have no plans to move away from Meng Neng." ?”
"Then keep watching. Before the news spreads, as long as they plan to leave Menneng or have someone pick them up, kill them together with the people who helped them leave;"
"After the news spreads, if they contact me as soon as possible, I will give you one million."
I estimate that Jiu Mengzi was the person who made the call last night, and what Lao Qiao is dealing with now is his family.
If the other party wants to leave before the news spreads, it means everything Jiu Mengzi said is false, but!
I think Lao Qiao has spent the money. If the problem with this batch of goods lies with the undercover, and Jiu Mengzi is really an undercover, then his family will be the first to leave.
But how could a drug lord think like a normal person?
They are a group of people who are suspicious of heaven and earth and seek to survive in doubt!
After answering the phone, the officer looked at him and asked: "Then, what should we do with shipments in the future?"
"Look for someone new, someone smarter than Beard."
Lao Qiao muttered: "Go to Menneng and let the respectable people know that you are back..."
"See how many people will contact you before the news spreads, wanting to get on this line, and then give me the list."
"Let's see how many people see you as fearful as a tiger, and give me the list too."
"After folding the beard this time, it won't take long for everything to be explained. No one in our circle can use it."
After the officer left, Old Qiao sat in the courtyard until dark. This time, there were no pets around him anymore, only the bracelet in his hand.
No one knows what Old Qiao is thinking or what he is looking at, but everyone has to rely on him to live and they dare not go to him.
I walked out of the thatched house at ten o'clock in the evening. At that time, Lao Qiao was still sitting in the yard, but the bracelet in his hand had fallen to the ground.
I picked up the bracelet and gently placed it on his leg.
At that moment, I seemed to have disturbed a clay Buddha that had been sitting in the temple for thousands of years, and received the angry glare of Vajra.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Qiao laughed out loud, not a 'haha' laugh, but three "hehehehe" laughs.
I walked away as if I had seen a ghost, looking back as I walked.
I've seen him tease Maine and Teddy so much!
When I got into the cook's room, I was breathing heavily, but I couldn't help but poked my head out and looked back with one eye along the door frame.
Lao Qiao stopped looking at me a long time ago. He rubbed his bracelet slowly, no one knew what he was thinking.
But I was still in shock.
Because this old Qiao is different from others. He will not yell at you to prepare you mentally. The moment this little old man wants to do something, he will just go straight to it with a gun.
I even suspect that many people who died in his hands probably didn't know where they were wrong, but he never gave anyone a chance.
Every abnormal behavior of such a person will make you tremble with fear. After all, you don't know when he will kill you!
That night, the whole village changed. None of the green soldiers on guard dared to smoke anymore. They all stood there motionless;
That night, the cook did not dare to come out of the laboratory and return to his room very late;
The moon in the sky was particularly round that night, as if it was hinting at something.
I didn't expect such an obvious hint, but I didn't understand anything. I only saw Lao Qiao moving around the room and answering or dialing the phone over and over again, but this time, I didn't hear a word.
While I was speculating, I fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't open my eyes until the next morning.
I'm ready.
I no longer have a fever or cough, and apart from occasionally feeling a little dizzy when I lift my head after bending down to mop the floor for a long time, there are almost no sequelae.
But all this is how I feel about myself.
Buzz.
Just as I was throwing a mop for shabu-shabu by the river, the roar of cars that I had not heard for a long time came from the entire village.
I saw one pickup truck after another driving in from outside the valley, and then, one after another, guys wearing gold and silver, suits and ties got out of the cars.
At that moment, I immediately turned my head.
I didn't see everyone in full view, but I saw a few of them that were either cold or sinister.
After entering the village, they all took out their firearms from their waists and armpits and handed them to the green soldiers. Then they were led by the green soldiers into the courtyard where Lao Qiao was.
I don’t know where these people came from or what they came for, but I feel that their arrival must be related to Huzi’s arrest.
Anyway...it has nothing to do with me.
Snapped.
At this moment, a hand pressed on my shoulder, the movement was very gentle, obviously not wanting to scare me.
When I turned around to look, Lao Qiao arrived at my side without knowing when.
He reached out and patted my shoulder twice and said, "Come with me. It's not appropriate for others to come here today." After saying that, he took the mop and bucket in my hand, put them aside, and just pulled me along. , walked towards that room.
The room was already full of people.
There were five or six people sitting around the small Eight Immortals table, and there was still one empty seat.
Old Qiao made a gesture of pouring water at me. When I turned around to get the kettle, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Hahahaha, Mr. Qiao, your place is really a paradise!"
When that voice appeared, it was as if there were nails growing on the soles of my feet. They were nailed to the spot and I didn't even dare to turn around!
