This news was like a bolt from the blue for Duan Hong, it was unbelievable.
Fatty Duan Datong could be said to be one of Duan Hong's best friends. Back then, when he was going to school in the city, Duan Datong had personally gifted him a piece of the Transformer Magic Cube.
Zhu Shan placed the tray on the bedside and said: ”It's fortunate that Fatty accompanied me that night in my melon patch to watch a watermelon, avoiding a calamity. When the next day arrived and we found out something had happened at home, I went back with him.
Duan Hong understood Duan Datong the best. This person was extremely filial, as if he could feel the heart-wrenching pain experienced after seeing his family's sudden change.
The fatty's family was the first to get rich in Duan Family Villa. His father, Duan Tu Hu, was a pig slaughterer in the village. At first, he was a pork stall, but later he got bigger and bigger. He started a chain store selling pork in the city.
He was the first one to use his big brother's Duan Family Villa. He was the first one to buy Santana, the first one to build a small two-story building. Among these several acres of watermelon land, he belonged to someone else.
Duan Tu's eyes were extremely sharp. He planned to use these acres of land to develop a new pig farm, but he failed.
< p > ”Did you catch the murderer?”
Duan Hong asked.
Zhu Shan shook his head and said, ”This happened five years ago. It happened the second year after you left, and the rumors say that it was done by the Lao Xu's family. After all, the butcher and the Lao Xu's family had deep enmity. There are also rumors that the butcher offended the underworld in the city and was killed by others. Some people even said that he had money and something valuable in his family was taken away overnight. There are also rumors about it.
Duan Hong felt a wave of coldness in his heart for the fatty. He was used to living a life of wealth and prosperity.
”Fatty might have been infected by you. He said that he wanted to go out and see for himself, or else if he didn't go home, he would tell me in secret that he guessed that there would be danger at home. That night, it was his father, the butcher, who asked him to accompany me in watching a watermelon in the fields.” Seeing that he was so secretive, I wondered if the fatty's spirit couldn't take it and had broken down. He's gone five years like you, and now he's gone. ”
As Zhu Shan said this, tears actually flickered in his eyes.
How could Duan Hong not feel sad? When he was young, he would ride his horse and fight, while Fatty would often play the role of a mount. When Duan Hong was the leader, the two of them would never lose, even Zhu Shan and his companions.
Duan Hong twisted the buddhist beads on his wrist as he secretly prayed for the fatty in his heart.
Zhu Shan slowed down and continued, ”As for Duan Fei? That brat didn't go to high school last year and went out to work instead. He was always a slob and probably wasn't good either, so Xu Liu — ”
When talking about Xu Liu, he especially looked at Duan Hong, who was after all, a descendant of the Lao Xu, and saw that Duan Hong's face was dark and gloomy, and said: ”Xu Liu went to be a soldier, he is not even 18 years old yet, but his family is rich now, and they found connections with him. When we play together normally, Xu Liu would call you by your name every time he gets drunk, saying that Second Uncle and Third Uncle are not right, and he shouldn't do that.
Duan Hong also missed Xu Liu in his heart, and said: ”This matter has nothing to do with Xu Liu, after all, I'm not at fault with him, he's still my good brother. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore.”
Know your companions and feel a bit sad when they all go their separate ways today.
”Zhu Shan, you're quite familiar with the sea right now. Help me find someone, and I believe that he's definitely looking for me as well.”
Duan Hong said: ”He is called Zhi Huo, my brother. He has red hair and red eyebrows, and his personality is quite perverted and greedy for money.”
Zhu Shan slapped his thigh and said: ”If you want me to find someone, you've found the right one. In the entire Haizhong City, nine out of ten watermelon dealers that sell watermelons know me.
Duan Hong saw that there was only a monk's shoe beneath his feet, and his t-shirt and jeans were in tatters, and said: ”Wait, find me a set of clothes first, we will go together.”
