The private courtyard of Ma Wuye's house is actually the same as usual, but it feels a little deserted.
When Du Weiguo strolled over, Ma Wu was the only one at home.
Xiao Ma, he went to work. He was a monk for a day and clockwork for a day. He acted in a full set and couldn't reveal too much.
After entering the house, Du Weiguo looked at the house and it was very obvious that most of Ma Wu's valuable furniture, calligraphy, paintings, electrical appliances, etc. had been disposed of, and they must have been discounted.
Nowadays, the items used in his home are all very old and even a bit shabby. Du Weiguo estimated that he would just abandon the Ma Wu house.
Regardless of whether the house is his personal property or not, the movement to sell the house is too great, and it is not worth much now, so it is not worth the trouble.
Ma Wu was very surprised to see Du Weiguo's visit, and was even a little flattered:
"Chief Du, why are you here free? Since you went to the new unit, it has been really difficult for us to see you!"
Du Weiguo smiled and raised his left hand to signal:
"Fifth Master, I can't help myself. No, I saw a little bit of red, and now I have two days to spare. I go home to rest. I think you two may not leave anytime. This Just came over to take a look."
Ma Wu was so moved that his eyes were red. Du Weiguo really regarded him as one of his own:
"Chief Du, what do you want me to say? You really haven't said anything to us, but we are still not living up to our expectations. We will be leaving soon, and we will no longer be able to serve you."
Du Weiguo smiled, lit a cigarette, and said nonchalantly:
"Fifth Master, as the old saying goes, all the feasts in the world must come to an end, but the old saying also says that there are no places in life where we meet again.
It is said that Brother Ma is only in his 20s this year, but you are not yet 50 years old. Even if we try our best to go further, 15 years from now, you will only be in your 60s.
You are a son and daughter of the world, and you are used to seeing people separated and separated. There must be a chance for us men to reunite. Are you so sad? "
After listening to Du Weiguo's words, Ma Wu nodded, then took a long breath and said in a very distant tone:
"Chief Du, let me just say something to you and don't think too much of it. You know, I have been running around in the world since I was 12 years old. For 45 years, I, Ma Wu, have met the princes and ministers of the former Qing Dynasty and the high-ranking officials of the Republic of China. Your Excellency, I have also seen all the grass-headed kings and Xiaodong in the future.
Chief Du, you are the most heroic person I have ever seen. I have never met a hero like you.
You have a Bodhisattva heart, a diamond-like method, and are indifferent to fame and wealth. You are affectionate and righteous. If we had met you a few years earlier, my little horse might have a new world. "
Du Weiguo smiled happily after hearing this. He patted Ma Wu on the shoulder:
"I said, Fifth Master, you have praised me to the heavens. I will be floating as soon as I leave. Let's not talk about what ifs. I am here today to say goodbye to you in advance. Secondly, I have something to tell you. .”
Ma Wuyi's expression became solemn when he heard this. He thought Du Weiguo had some secret job and he didn't want to get involved, so he let them take action before they left!
Anyway, they won't hang out in Sijiu City anymore. This kind of thing is very common, especially Ma Wu.
"Chief Du, tell me, even if it costs us both our lives, I, Ma Wu, will ensure that everything is taken care of for you."
As soon as Du Weiguo heard this, he knew that Ma Wu had misunderstood again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Fifth Master, you are having wild thoughts again. I am not asking you two to do things, but there may be a way out for you in Xiangjiang.
I will write you a letter. After you arrive in Xiangjiang, try to inquire about a wealthy family named Lou. They went there last year.
I have received some favors from me in the past. It is possible to help you two in Xiangjiang. If you are not familiar with the place, more friends will lead to more paths. "
When Ma Wu heard this, he couldn't hold back at that time. Tears fell from his eyes. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say:
"Chief Du, you~~"
Du Weiguo hated this the most, so he quickly said:
"Okay, Fifth Master, I have a small request. When you get there, you can find a way to send me a letter. Firstly, you can report that you are safe, and secondly, you can leave a path for me."
When Ma Wu heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He wiped away his tears and tried to ask:
"Chief Du, you~"
Du Weiguo shook his head gently and said half jokingly and half seriously:
"Fifth Master, you don't have to think too much, I haven't encountered any trouble, but no one can have smooth sailing in life.
No one can guarantee that the horse will be too high and the stirrups short. When I am in a dilemma, I am preparing a way out for myself in advance. If such a day comes, Master Wu, you can't just let it go! "
Ma Wu did not make any promises, but solemnly raised three fingers and swore to the sky:
"Chief Du, if such a day comes, as long as one of us is alive, we will definitely not let you fall to the ground. If you violate it, my Ma family will be exterminated and destroyed!"
Du Weiguo shook his head gently: "Fifth Master, I believe you. Do you have a pen and paper? I'll write you a letter."
Ma Wugu quickly took out paper and pen, and Du Weiguo rewrote the letter he wrote to Lou Xiao'e's family based on his memory.
It was impossible to get it word for word, but at least 90% of the contents were consistent. Du Weiguo also added the time and post office of sending the letter, as well as the same signature and the person who had received the favor.
Afterwards, he handed the letter to Ma Wu, without explaining the cause and effect. He just said that if he found the Lou family and gave this letter to them, they would understand.
Ma Wu collected the letter very solemnly.
After chatting for a while, Du Weiguo said goodbye and left. This may mean not seeing each other for many years or even forever, or maybe we will meet again soon. I hope it's not the latter, which means that Du Weiguo will also run away.
When Du Weiguo came out of Ma Wu's house, he didn't come back empty-handed. When he went out, he was carrying more than 5 kilograms of potatoes and 3 green onions.
Haha, when he asked Ma Wuye if he had potatoes and green onions at home, Ma Wuye's eyes almost popped out of his head and he was completely confused. He confirmed with Du Weiguo three times.
Is this really not a joke?
Du Weiguo refused dozens of large yellow croakers without blinking an eyelid. Now he took the initiative to ask for something, and it turned out to be cheap things like potatoes and green onions.
These things are the main food in winter. Almost every household in Sijiu City will stock up on some in winter, and the Mawu family naturally has some.
So, Du Weiguo, who was unbelievable, left with a few kilograms of potatoes and a few green onions with satisfaction. They were not worth a dime in total, and the vegetable basket that Ma Wu set up was only worth 20 cents.
Ma Wu stood at the door, watching Du Weiguo's back disappear completely from sight, still messy in the north wind, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
This is too ridiculous. The sad farewell that might have lasted forever was treated like this by Du Weiguo, as if he left today and would come back tomorrow. Don't hold back on the unspeakable things, which makes people laugh bitterly.
It’s a bit too childish!
After Du Weiguo came out of Ma Wu's house, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy enough liquor. By the time he returned to the courtyard, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was already setting in the west now. The reason he asked for potatoes and green onions was because he wanted to have beef stew with potatoes for dinner. It was rare to eat at his house.
It must be generous, open and bright. After all, there is food for 5 people, including myself and Bart, two super big eaters.
But Du Weiguo still overestimated himself after all. He could only use one claw now, and he really couldn't do the delicate work of peeling potatoes.
Although he has a self-healing speed that is 8 times that of ordinary people, only two days have passed. Even with a penetrating injury, it would take more than 10 days for him to fully recover.
There's nothing to be done about it. Let's ask Bart's wife for help. Fortunately, things are different now. He has real neighbors with whom he can communicate and get along normally. It's very comfortable to help each other.
