When the black blind man saw that the person throwing things at him was Zhang Zhuxun, he immediately smiled, pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, rolled up the money in his hand, stuffed it into the inner pocket of his leather jacket, stood up and threw it in his hand The garlic clove came over, pulled out the stool and sat down.
"Why did Mr. Xiaoyu come here suddenly to see me?" Hei Xiazi had a scornful smile on his lips.
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded and told the truth, "I came here specifically to see you."
"What? Is there any work?" Hearing that they came to him specifically, the black blind man immediately became interested and shouted to the owner of the wonton shop, "Old Uncle Xia, give me a bowl of wontons too, so I can take advantage of my friend's account. superior."
Zhang Haoxun was accustomed to this, so he calmly blew on the wontons that were a little hot and took a bite, "This wonton tastes good."
"Right." Hei Xiazi was convinced. "This shop has been open on this street for more than 20 years. It is already an old brand. You came at the right time. If it's meal time, you want to have a bite of this." Ah, there will be a long queue."
Soon, Heixiazi's wontons were also ready.
Zhang Zhuxun chatted with him while eating, "Did you rent or buy that massage parlor next door?"
"It's rented." Heixiazi ate very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, most of the wontons in his bowl were gone. "Uncle Xia and I are old neighbors. I rented the store from him. I occasionally come here to open for a day or two. Panjiayuan Every inch of land here is precious, so renting is cheaper than buying.”
"When I saw your business card last time, I thought you just set up a small stall on the street to fool people, but I didn't expect that it was quite formal." Zhang Zhu said with a smile.
"I really asked you to tell me accurately." Hei Xiazi wiped his mouth and pushed the bowl aside, "I run out every two days. When I'm free, I just set up a small stall in a corner and tell people's fortunes and read palms. I get a massage and can barely make ends meet."
"Hey, what kind of job does Mr. Xiaoyu want to introduce to me, Ji Lama? Or something else?" asked the black blind man.
"It's not Jia Lama." Zhang Zhuxun shook his head.
The black blind man was confused, "If you don't want to trap the lama? What are you doing?"
Zhang Zhuoxun stood up and paid the bill. He raised his chin at the blind man and said, "Go to your store and talk."
The two walked into the massage parlor. The blind man lowered the half curtain on the door frame and hung a temporary closure sign. He then pulled out a bench for Zhang Zhu to sit on, then turned around and poured two glasses of water from the thermos bottle.
"Tell me more details." Hei Xiazi asked curiously.
"I want to ask you to be a bodyguard for someone." Zhang Zhu looked at him intently and said.
The blind man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Being a bodyguard? For whom?"
"Wu Xie."
"But not now." Zhang Zhuxun took out a card from his pocket, "This is the deposit, the balance will be paid later."
As soon as he heard this name, the blind man's eyelids jumped, and he thought to himself, "Damn, why are these two looking for him because of this boy named Wu Xie."
Then he asked calmly, "Isn't that kid followed by you and the mute Zhang? How difficult is the situation that you two together can't handle it?"
Zhang Shuxun shook his head, "It's not clear yet. It's very likely that my brother and I will both be incapable of doing anything else by then. The reason why I came to you is more because of Wu Sansheng."
The smile on the blind man's face dropped, "Master Xiaoyu, what do you say?"
Zhang Shuxun's expression also became serious, "Although I don't know what the third master said to you when he left the sewers of Snake Swamp, and what you did after that, I can probably guess some."
The blind man narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer.
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and said, "You don't have to be so vigilant. The third master and I have the same ultimate goal. I will not hurt Wu Xie."
"Actually, I didn't plan to find you. After all, no matter who I use, it's better to do it myself."
Zhang Zhuxun sighed softly, "But things have changed recently. I'm not sure whether I can survive this time. If not, then after you hear the news about my accident, go to Star City to find me." Wu Xie, be his master, teach him whatever he wants to learn, and at the same time ensure his personal safety."
Zhang Zhu is looking for something
Put the card on the table and push it to the blind man with two fingers, "In our business, integrity is the most important thing. This is one million, and the balance is ten times. Wu Xie will pay you then."
The blind man looked straight at Zhang Zhuxun, smiled suddenly, picked up the card on the table, and looked at it for a few seconds, "I have no reason not to accept such a large deal. It's a pleasure to work with you. Is there anything else you can say, Boss Xiaoyu?" ?」
Zhang Zhuoxun shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "Time is tight, so I won't stay here any longer."
The blind man stood up and sent him out, raising his lips and saying, "Although it may be of no use, I just looked at your face and I still think I should give you a message."
"Wish me good luck?" Zhang Zhuo looked back and raised his eyebrows.
The black blind man picked a wooden prawn hanging from a row of red ropes hanging on the wooden frame and said leisurely.
"Blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. All phenomena have their own fate, and every bad thing turns into good."
"Hey, I'll give this to you." Hei Xiazi handed the red rope to Zhang Zhuoxun, "Prawn, be gentle."
"Thank you for your good words!" Zhang Zhuxun smiled calmly, took the red rope and put it away, turned his back and waved, "See you later."
The blind man watched his back being drowned by the crowd, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
He turned around and put away the deck chairs and parasols at the door, walked back to the store, took out a black backpack from the cabinet, opened it and stuffed a few packs of compressed biscuits and two boxes of fried rice with shredded pork and green peppers, as well as some essential tools for travel, short knives. , change to a pair of boots more suitable for long-distance walking.
Then he turned off the water and electricity switches in the house, turned around and went out to lock the door.
When the owner of the wonton shop next door saw this, he casually asked, "Are you going on a long trip again?"
The familiar smile appeared on the face of the blind man again, "Ah, yes, a big customer asked me to treat his family members. Could you please help me, Uncle Xia, to keep the key?"
"Hey, it's no problem." Old Uncle Xia put down the rag for wiping the table, wiped the water stains on his hands on his apron, and reached out to take the key, "Don't worry, I'll guard the door for you."

After coming out of Panjiayuan, Zhang Zhuoxun left the capital as quickly as possible and arrived at Star City in the evening.
Standing outside the airport, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers.
About half an hour later, a black SUV stopped in front of him. The window was lowered, and Pan Zi's weathered and slightly weathered face was revealed.
Zhang Shuxun was a little surprised, "I didn't ask you to just send someone to pick me up. Why did you come here in person?"
Pan Zi smiled heartily, "Why don't you do it in person? When something happened to the third master's cousin, you and my brother helped a lot. At that time, we were so busy that we didn't even have time to have a meal together. I'll do it tonight Dong, if you like spicy food, then let’s go to Brother Lu’s Restaurant, his signature Sichuan cuisine is the best in Star City.”
"Then I won't be polite."
Zhang Zhuoxun agreed with a smile and got into the passenger seat.
As soon as he sat down, he noticed something was wrong.
Looking left and right, I finally found something wrong.
Zhang Zhu pointed at a small sika deer porcelain ornament lying on the bluestone on the bridge, and said with a smile: "I just said there is something wrong. This little thing was given to you by my sister Lu, right?"
Pan Zi was a little embarrassed and touched her nose, "Well, what about that? Your sister Lu said this ornament has a good meaning, so I just put it in the car."
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled meaningfully, "Good things are coming soon, Brother Pan. When are you going to invite the brothers to a wedding banquet?"
Pan Zi was a little shy, but her expression showed seriousness, "Listen to your sister Lu, she can get married anytime she wants. She told me before that she was an orphan and had no relatives, so I plan to take her back to see her during the Chinese New Year this year. Meet my father and let my parents know that I have found a good wife. She is smart and good-looking, and she is a very powerful cultural person."
"In my early years, I followed my third master all over the country, and I actually had a lot of hidden wounds on my body. It was inevitable that I would feel uncomfortable when it was cloudy and rainy. After she found out, she specially asked her doctor at the big hospital to check me out and give me a lot of warming medicine. I was divided into small packages and small packages, and asked me to make tea and drink it every morning and evening..."
Pan Zi rambled on about every detail of his relationship with Jiang Lu. Zhang Zhuoxun could see that Pan Zi was very happy when he was with Jiang Lu. After all, the happiness on his face could not deceive anyone.
"I will always remember her kindness to me."
"I'm a rough guy and don't have much ability, but as long as she doesn't dislike my roughness and is willing to marry me, I will love her forever."
Pan Zi's loyalty to the third master is very valuable, and Zhang Zhuxun admires it very much, but at the same time, he does not want Pan Zi to focus all his life on the third master. Fortunately, after the third master went into hiding, he found him Someone who can stay with and know each other for the rest of their lives.
"Oh my, it seems I have to prepare two portions of my money in advance. The fat guy has also found a companion. This time we are blessed with double happiness!" Zhang Zhuoxun joked with a smile.
"The fat man is getting married too?" Pan Zi was a little surprised, "Whose girl is it from?"
"You have also seen it. Last time when you followed Mr. Wu to Banai, Yuncai, the second daughter of the Agui family in Yao Village." Zhang Zhu asked.
Pan Zi thought about it carefully, "Oh, she is Agui's little girl, I remembered it."
"That's not right. I remember that little girl was only a little older." Pan Zi frowned suddenly and cursed, "This damn fat guy is really a bitch and not a good thing."
"You and the mistress must keep an eye on the fat guy. Don't let that stinky gangster bully my little girl so badly that she will run back to her parents' house and stop being with him." Pan Zi sighed and warned.
"That can't be done." Zhang Zhuoxun waved his hand and said with a smile, "That little girl is very capable. The fat man has been kept obedient by others, and he only focuses on that girl."
As he was talking, the car drove into a street.
At this time, the lights have begun to come on, and the shops on the street are brightly lit.
Pan Zi, who was familiar with the place, took Zhang Zhuxun to a restaurant with a simple light sign, "This is it. Although the store is small, the dishes are excellent."
After entering, it was true as Pan Zi said, this restaurant is not big, but it is full of diners. The waiters serving dishes are shuttled back and forth in the aisles. The sound of crackling cooking and the hearty shouting of the landlady are endless.
Noisy and warm, full of fireworks.
The female waiter who announced the name of the dish had very sharp ears. She heard the wind chime ringing at the door. She was busy writing and drawing at the same time and began to greet people, "Guests, the table in the front room is full. Can we go to the backyard?" ?」
"Let's go to the backyard and cool down." Pan Zi, who was already familiar with the way, led Zhang Zhuoxun to the backyard, "Let's serve all your signature dishes. Do you have fresh crayfish? Five pounds of spicy food, two bottles of beef, and two bowls of rice."
"Okay!" The female waiter quickly wrote down, "We have crayfish. We just got the crayfish tonight. They are fresh and big. Mr. Pan, please wait a moment with this customer. They will be ready soon."
The yard at the back is very large, and it seems to be connected to the yard next door. There is an arch in the middle, and there are many flowers planted on the side. They are blooming in colorful colors. Because no one takes care of them, they have grown naturally for a long time and become messy and mixed. There is a sense of vitality and purity.
Zhang Zhu and the two walked through the arch to the other side of the courtyard. There were fewer people here and it was easier to talk.
There was chrysanthemum herbal tea that had been brewed long ago on the table, and Pan Zi poured a cup for both of them.
"Didn't you go to the capital some time ago? You have already finished your work. Why didn't the mistress come back with you?"
Zhang Zhuxun explained: "I have finished my work in the capital, but I took on a job in the middle. I worked with the Jie family and the Huo family to go to a fight in the Ba Nai Mountain."
Pan Zi frowned, a little worried, "Cooperating with the Jie family and the Huo family? The fight that can make these two families take action is definitely not a big one. Can you tell me about it?"
"Yes." Zhang Zhuxun nodded, "The situation is indeed a bit complicated. Tianzhen and Xie Yuchen were in the same team and went to another place. My brother, Fatty, and I went to Banai with Huo Xiangu. The position of Dou is basically It’s confirmed, but it will take some effort to get in.”
"Is it a shortage of manpower or something? Do you want my help?" When Pan Zi heard that he was in trouble, the mistress refused to follow him this time.
Together, they grew more worried.
"No, the Huo family has sent out many good fighters this time. Jie Yuchen is watching over Tianzhen. If you be careful, there won't be any big problems." Zhang Zhu said.
Pan Zi became more and more confused, "If it's not Xia Dou who has a problem, then what is your problem?"
"I'm here this time to give you something." Zhang Zhuxun took out a carved white wood box from his backpack. It was as big as an urn and had an inexplicable resemblance in shape.
When Pan Zi saw this, his heart skipped a beat, "Which brother does this belong to?"
Zhang Zhuxun suddenly felt dumbfounded, "It's not the ashes contained here. I can't tell you exactly what they are now, but after this trip Tianzhen comes back from Siguniang Mountain, you can find a suitable time. Give him this box."
Pan Zi keenly sensed something was wrong, "You and the mistress don't stay together often, why don't you give it to him yourself?"
Zhang Shuxun said calmly: "I may have to go to Motuo in southern Tibet at that time. Time is very urgent. He came back from Siguniang Mountain later and just missed it, so I have to leave it to you."
