Chapter 0002 – This is what is called a Luoyang Shovel (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCCHero Chen is the name of my deadbeat dad, and even though I’m his son, I honestly hate him more, than anything else.
My mother died young, and five years ago, he left me alone, leaving me with only a coffin, and a dog, mind you, when I was only thirteen.
A thirteen-year-old rural child, no father, no mother can live until now is really a miracle, and behind this miracle, I ate how much suffering suffered how much eye, no one knows, except that dog ……
So when Old Baldy mentioned my father’s name, my first reaction was nothing but anger.
The rhubarb was lying at my feet, constantly rubbing its head against my knee, and beside it, the thin-skinned coffin had long since been dragged back.
My home was destitute, except for four peeling earthen walls, there was no bed or table, and the only piece of furniture that caught my eye was this thin-skinned coffin that could be used as both a bed and a table.
I pinched the pile of red bills given to me by Old Baldy’s daughter-in-law, patted Big Yellow, and said, “Let’s go, take you to eat meat.”
Big Yellow was extremely humane, and as soon as he heard that there was meat to eat, he was so excited that he dropped his harrumphs.
“Look at you, go, I’ll buy you a roast duck to eat today.”
…………
…………
After the wine and food, I snuggled up to Rhubarb and drifted off to sleep in the thin-skinned coffin.
I was awakened early the next morning by a violent knock on the door.
“Chen Huafan open the door, someone is looking for you.”
Outside the sound is really noisy, I got up and opened the door with a face of displeasure, only to find that there is a group of people standing outside the door, and the leader is exactly the small bald head.
Little Baldy glanced at me and said, “Chen Huafan, these are experts from the province, they …… are experts.”
Not waiting for the little bald head to finish his words, I directly closed the door! His father, early in the morning disturbing people’s dreams, this in ancient times is to be lynched.
I was ready to go back to sleep as soon as the door closed, but the knocking outside didn’t stop.
I also came to a temper and kicked the already rickety wooden door open, swept a glance at the small bald man who had been slammed against it, and said; “Fuck off and let the rightful owner come over here and talk to me.”
Little bald head dared not say, this guy usually rely on their own is the son of the mayor of the village no less for the wrongdoing, but today is not the same, behind is standing a group of provincial ‘bricklayer’, he did not dare to make a move.
The little baldy hurriedly retreated, and a middle-aged man who looked like a college professor greeted him.
The professor was well-mannered, and before I could say anything, he smiled at me first and said, “Hello, I’m Li Wenhai, you’re Little Brother Chen Xuan, right?”
“I don’t dare to be a little brother, what is the professor’s business?” I asked lazily.
This professor called Li Wenhai smiled and said, “It’s like this little brother, we just came from the province, and we heard that there is a natural cave here, no, we are an expedition team, so we want to find a competent guide, and the village headman recommended you to us …… in particular.”
“That old fox!!!”
I spat, thinking that it must be Old Zhang Tou, that fox, who had received favor fees from these ‘bricklayers’, or else he could have worked so hard to introduce me to them, and also, this job must not be good, or else it wouldn’t have been my turn to do it.
“I’m sorry, Professor, I can’t do this job, you’d better find someone else, for example, the son of the village headman next to me, known in the jianghu as Zhang Toad, I’m sure he’d be extremely competent as a guide.”
The small bald head on the side was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but when those professors took a look over, he hurriedly waved his hands with a smile on his face and said, “Professor, Chen Huafan is joking with you guys, if our village wants to say that the one who can be a guide for you guys, there’s no second one except him!”
Shit, this toad actually betrayed me.
I rolled my eyes and said to the little bald guy, “Brother Toad, you weren’t like this last night when I watched your daughter-in-law take a bath ……”
The little bald man was so angry that his face turned blue.
Seeing that he couldn’t convince me, Li Wenhai couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Then what do you have to do to agree with us, little brother?”
“I can’t promise, I really can’t do this, you guys find another talent.”
As my words fell, a female behind Li Wenhai suddenly spoke up, her tone tinged with a bit of impatience, “Professor, since he won’t just forget about it, why should we beg him? This village is full of people, no one will agree to ten thousand dollars, then fifty thousand.”
Once the woman’s words were finished, I who had already walked into the house suddenly folded back, compared to a moment ago, this would be my attitude has been transformed by three hundred and sixty degrees.
With a smile on my face, I said, “Gentlemen, please repeat your words.”
