After walking out of the store, nothing in the village changed. Wang Hu was still lying on the ground drunk.
The villagers in the village avoided him, and Lu Zeyu walked aimlessly in the village.
"again."
Happy children's voices came, and a little boy was holding a cardboard box and squatting on the ground looking for something.
"Kid, what are you doing?"
"Catch bugs."
The boy said without looking up.
At this moment, Lu Zeyu saw clearly that the inside of the carton was a small town made of paper.
Ants and other ladybugs crawl aimlessly in this small town, looking for an exit.
There are also a few grains of rice and a bottle of water in the center of the town.
A few ants were floating on the water dying.
"There were a few dead ants there."
Lu Zeyu reminded the little boy. The little boy just looked at it and then went on to catch the bugs. At the same time, he said:
"It's okay, there are still a lot to catch there."
A white plastic bag covered the top of the carton. Lu Zeyu wanted to continue saying something.
A voice came from far away.
"You brat, come here quickly."
After hearing this, the little boy immediately ran away from here.
"What's wrong? You don't feel sorry for the bug anymore, do you?"
Wang Hu's lazy voice sounded behind him, and Lu Zeyu turned around suddenly.
Drunk Wang Hu sat against the wall, looking at him disdainfully with a cigarette in his mouth.
He threw the wine bottle and cigarette in his hand to Wang Hu, sat down on the ground and said:
"As promised, I won't drink at all today."
"Okay, okay, don't drink. You haven't answered me yet? You won't feel sad about the death of a few bugs, right?"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zeyu was speechless, and for a long time he could only utter two words from the cracks of his mouth.
"Kind of."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Wang Hu laughed heartily, pointed at Lu Zeyu and said with a smile:
"Ha... you actually... you actually pity a bunch of bugs? You don't know how many bugs you crush to death when you walk every day, but you actually pity a few bugs here."
After taking a sip of wine, Wang Hu pointed at the insects on the ground and said:
"You think they are pitiful, they are pitiful creatures, don't you think so?"
Lu Zeyu obviously didn't want to continue arguing with Wang Hu about these useless things.
"What about what you promised me yesterday?"
"What's up?"
Facing Wang Hu's carelessness, Lu Zeyu was obviously a little angry and shouted:
"Where's the information you mentioned?"
Wang Hu looked at the sky, thought for a while, and then said:
"not enough."
"What's not enough?"
"I saved you yesterday, and you didn't show any gratitude at all, so you just used these two bottles of wine to fool me?"
"you…"
Wang Hu pulled back Lu Zeyu's extended fingers little by little and said calmly:
"How about we make a deal."
"trade?"
Wang Hu stood up, dusted himself off and looked directly into Lu Zeyu's eyes.
“Exchange what you have for what I have.”
Just as he was about to say something, Wang Hu turned around and walked towards the village.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk."
Crash.
The chain on the door was opened by Wang Hu. Lu Zeyu hesitated a little but walked into the yard together.
The yard was not as messy as Lu Zeyu thought. On the contrary, it was very neat.
In the room, everything was in order, which was very different from Lu Zeyu's imagination.
All kinds of books were neatly placed everywhere. He gently stroked the book covers with his hands and said with a nostalgic look on his face:
"This belongs to my younger brother. He usually likes to read these. Then he went out to school, and these books were piled here."
When he talked about his younger brother, a strange look appeared on Wang Hu's face.
He seemed to be a completely different person from the sloppy person he used to be.
"How long has he been gone?"
"A month."
"A month?"
After hearing Lu Zeyu's question, Wang Hu seemed to understand something, turned around and said with a smile:
"Yes, it's just one month, I know it very well."
"What are you afraid of?"
Facing Wang Hu's answer, Lu Zeyu finally couldn't help it and asked.
"You don't need to be afraid, trust me."
Wang Hu sat on the chair and said slowly:
"Come on, let's talk about this deal."
Lu Zeyu sat down opposite, waiting for Wang Hu's answer.
"What? Aren't you in a hurry?"
Facing Wang Hu's question, Lu Zeyu said calmly:
"Why should I be anxious? You are the leader of this transaction. What's more, I don't know what I have that deserves your attention. Tell me what you want?"
"I want you!"
After hearing these words, Lu Zeyu hugged his body and looked at the big man in front of him defensively.
"Do you still have this habit?"
"Bah, I'm telling the truth. Just listen to me and I will tell you everything in the village bit by bit."
Lu Zeyu spread his hands in front of Wang Hu and said:
"So, where do you mean sincerity?"
Seeing Lu Zeyu's attitude, Wang Hu couldn't help but laugh.
"Come with me."
Opening the cellar, a strong smell of wine filled the air.
Wang Hu took a deep sniff with enjoyment and walked into the cellar with an intoxicated look on his face.
Looking at the dark cellar entrance, Lu Zeyu followed closely.
Stepping into the cellar, a sense of coldness hit him, causing him to tighten his clothes.
The lights in the cellar came on, and Lu Zeyu couldn't help but squint his eyes, and it took a long time before he dared to open them.
Wine tanks several people high stood in the cellar, taking up most of the space.
Wang Hu shuttled between the wine tanks, looking for something.
"Hey, boy, show me which one is unsealed."
"Huh? Oh oh oh."
After hearing these words, Lu Zeyu looked towards the cellar, pointed to a wine vat in the corner and said:
"Well, go forward and turn left, yes."
Lu Zeyu looked at the pattern on the mouth of the cylinder and became more and more familiar. He must have seen it there.
After rubbing it all over his body, Lu Zeyu took out the pendant that Wei Guo had given him in the morning.
Compare with the pattern of the cylinder mouth.
At this moment, Wang Hu had also found the ladder and climbed up to the top of the wine tank.
Halfway up the climb, the wine vat next to me shook.
Wang Hu kicked him fiercely and cursed:
"Calm down, I'll just get a drink and leave. I won't let anyone stop if I really have to get a drink."
"Pooh!"
Seeing that the wine tanks around him were starting to move, Lu Zeyu stood on the steps and did not dare to make any move.
Until there was a gap in the seal of the wine vat in front of him.
It seemed like something was trying to escape from inside.
Mountain god! The mountain god's seal is loose!
Bang!
Wang Hu stepped back, took out a blood-red rope from his pocket, wrapped it around the mouth of the tank and said:
"Brother, if you give me a chance, I'll get a drink and let's all relax."
Lu Zeyu looked at everything happening here and stood here in a daze, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
Looking at Lu Zeyu, whose eyes were straight, Wang Hu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Don't you want to see the truth? This is the truth."
It took Lu Zeyu a while to come back to his senses and asked tremblingly:
"What's in the tank?"
