Chapter 0429 – King of Soldiers (III)
After Zhuang Rui sat down, the first time he looked towards Peng Fei. Only Peng Fei from entering the house, always stood in the backlight, coupled with the light in the house is relatively dark, Zhuang Rui somewhat can not see his appearance, just see, this person is not tall, the body is a little thin.
Can not see clearly Peng Fei, Zhuang Rui’s eyes in this house survey up, in the house wall, paste are newspaper, the most inside set a double bed, accounting for about one-fifth of the space of the room, the bottom of the bed laying strip of military quilt and military coats, while the top of only a very thin quilt, must be Peng Fei sleep.
In the center of the room, is where Zhuang Rui and Hao Long are now sitting, there is a table, there are only two chairs, after giving up to the guests, Peng Fei is now standing.
And in the place against the door, there is a stove, the top set of what looks like a homemade chimney, crooked from the stove extends to the door, making this room a little more hot air, but Zhuang Rui sat down, or feel a touch of cold.
There was nothing else in the room except for another simple closet, and pots and pans stacked on a panel by the door.
This was a room that had the bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room, all together, and to put it simply, it was this ten-square-meter-sized space that was where Peng Fei and his sister lived.
There were elementary school textbooks on the table, the little girl should have been doing her homework just now, Zhuang Rui and Hao Long’s arrival seemed to have disturbed the brother and sister duo.
“Da Long, it’s rare for you to come over, I still have some wine here, have a drink to warm up your body ……”
Peng Fei walked to the door, took out a bottle of unopened erguotou to, actually and Bai Feng took out the same, three dollars and twenty cents a bottle of red star erguotou, it seems that this wine is loved by the people of Beijing, regardless of the rich and poor, are good for such a mouthful.
Peng Fei left hand also holds three small bowls, will be put on the table, take the wine right thumb in the bottle cap under a top. “Snap” a light sound, the bottle cover was opened, Peng Fei right hand a crooked, “goo dong …… goo dong …… “The wine was poured into the bowl.
After pouring the wine, Peng Fei raised his head to look at Zhuang Rui and said, “Boss Zhuang, this is the only wine I have, if you are not used to drinking it, just drink tea!”
Peng Fei’s voice was not loud, after he finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly, he had a melon face, the skin on his face was very fair, when he spoke, he seemed to be a bit shy, he looked like a college student who was new to the society in general.
But Peng Fei’s pair of eyes, very peculiar, obviously looking at Zhuang Rui, but there is not a trace of expression, empty, as if in front of him is the air in general.
This is also Zhuang Rui into the house after the first positive look at the appearance of Peng Fei, completely different from what he imagined, in listening to Hao Long told the story of Peng Fei, Zhuang Rui thought Peng Fei is a rough-looking pugilist, but did not expect Peng Fei grows so clean.
Zhuang Rui really can not imagine, in front of this young man, how to kill several drug dealers, in fact, Zhuang Rui do not know a lot of things, Peng Fei not only and drug dealers have dealt with, and many of the forces of Thailand and Burma and the regular army, have had a conflict, the hands of far more than six lives, and these things, that is, Hao Long does not quite understand.
“The weather is cold, just drink!”
Zhuang Rui no nonsense, picked up that small bowl, a raised neck on the irrigation down, this bowl of about more than three taels of fifty-six degrees Erguotou into the belly, Zhuang Rui only feel from the throat to the stomach, are a burst of hot and spicy, the body is also warmed up.
After drinking dry bowl of wine, Zhuang Rui put down the bowl and stood up, said, “There is wine without food, Hao Long, you guys drink first, the car is still a bit of food, I’ll go get it ……”
“Boss, I’ll go get it!” Hao Long hurriedly stood up.
“No need, you comrades chat first!” Zhuang Rui waved his hand, pushed open the door and walked out. There were some words that Hao Long said that were a bit more appropriate than saying them himself.
Although Zhuang Rui had only met Peng Fei once, and still didn’t understand his character, but Zhuang Rui believed that the young man who could guard his sister to live such a poor life must have experienced many unknown things, and their kind of people, if they made a choice, would never betray, as Peng Fei left the army and didn’t go to do evil.
Zhuang Rui’s car has some other people to give Grandpa’s native products, like Texas steak chicken and other vacuum-packed cooked food, these are not the kind sold on the street, but the authentic secret recipe marinated out, just the old man’s teeth are not good, Ouyang Wan let Zhuang Rui take back to prepare for Zhang Ma and Hao Long they eat.
Took a few bags of Texas steak chicken, Zhuang Rui saw a bag of apples, also got the hand, but he did not rush back, but the car hit the fire, sitting inside and light a cigarette. He wanted to leave the two people a little more time to talk.
After finishing the cigarette, Zhuang Rui sat for a while, feeling almost like a twenty-minute look, only then pushed the door off the car, stomped his feet, and walked toward the village.
After entering Peng Fei’s home, Zhuang Rui saw, originally sitting on the bed of the little girl, at this time the eyes red, seems to have just cried, I do not know Peng Fei and Hao Long talked about what evoked the sadness of the little girl.
“Just these few bags of cooked food, unwrap and eat! Yaya, here’s a chicken thigh for you ……”
Zhuang Rui put the bag on the table, opened a bag of Texas steak chicken, and then used the bag to tear off a chicken thigh, handed it to the little girl who was lying on the bed, looking at herself with wide eyes.
“Brother …… brother said, can not just take other people’s things ……”
Yaya looked at the chicken thigh, subconsciously stretched out her hand, just after looking at Peng Fei, hesitated, or put out the hand shrink back, but when speaking, Zhuang Rui saw her throat move up and down, seemed to swallow a mouthful of water.
Peng Fei, who had stopped talking since Zhuang Rui entered the house, suddenly opened his mouth at this time and said: ”Ya Ya, eat! Big brother Zhuang is not an outsider ……”
“Hey, thank you big brother ……”
After hearing her brother’s words, little Yaya’s eyes smiled narrowed into a crescent moon shape, stretched out her small hand to receive the chicken thigh handed over by Zhuang Rui, but did not go down to bite it, but licked it around her mouth, and then jumped down from the bed, walked to Peng Fei’s side and said, “Brother, you eat first, after you finish eating, you’ll have the strength to work tomorrow.”
“Brother still has, Yaya eat by herself, brother wants to have a word with Big Brother Zhuang ……”
Peng Fei didn’t pick up the chicken leg that YaYa handed over, instead he dotingly rubbed her little head and carried her back to the bed, then turned around and looked at Zhuang Rui.
“Big brother Zhuang, things in my family. All to Dalong said, turn around he will tell you, want me to work with you, no problem, I only have a little request, is to be able to let Yaya have a stable learning environment, can eat and wear warm on the line, as for the wages and what not, you look at the give, how much does not matter, you only need to promise to be able to take care of Yaya, I Peng Fei’s life, I’ll sell it to you!”
Peng Fei’s speech is not fast, almost word for word, said the above words, that pair of originally godless and empty eyes, at this time, like a sword out of the sheath, staring at Zhuang Rui, seems to want to see from Zhuang Rui’s eyes, see whether his answer is sincere.
Peng Fei asked himself that he is not a bad person, but likewise is not a saint, he holds fast to the bottom line of his heart, that is, not to do wrong, but now there is an opportunity to make his and his sister’s life a little better, he likewise will not refuse.
“Brother, are you leaving again, I don’t want you to leave, I want to be with you, big brother, I don’t want your chicken leg.”
Little Yaya had been happily eating the chicken leg, after hearing Peng Fei’s words, she immediately jumped down from the bed, taking the half-eaten chicken leg, and stuffed it towards Zhuang Rui’s hands.
Zhuang Rui took the chicken leg back to Little YaYa and said with a smile, “YaYa good girl, don’t worry! Your brother will live with you, and will also live in a very, very big house ……”
“Really?” Yaya tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Rui very seriously.
“Of course it’s true, today you will be able to move into the new house, you and your brother will still live together ……”
At the age of seven or eight, one can already tell if an adult’s speech is true or false, after staring at Zhuang Rui for a while, the little girl nodded her head and didn’t say anything else.
Settle the little one, Zhuang Rui this only twisted his head, looked at Peng Fei, said: “Give me the nature of the work, Hao Long may have said to you, this is Beijing, not the battlefield, security work is also very simple, did not you think so tense, and do not have to say what to sell their lives and so on words, I invited the security, but also not to invite killers. If you don’t have a lot of stuff, you can move there today. By the way, what grade is Yaya in? I’ll have someone help him with the school transfer procedures tomorrow!”
Before Peng Fei could reply, the little girl grabbed the question, “Big brother, can I go to school now?”
“Why, doesn’t Ya Ya go to school?” Zhuang Rui froze for a moment and turned his head to look at Peng Fei.
“Boss, come out for a moment, I’ll tell you!”
Hao Long stood up at this time, gave a wink to Zhuang Rui, pushed open the door and walked out, this room is really too small, Hao Long didn’t want to reveal someone else’s scars once more in front of Peng Fei.
“Boss, I also just now realized, it’s like this ……” After walking out the door, Hao Long put himself just know things, all to Zhuang Rui said out.
It turned out that just this time last year, Hao Long’s parents in the countryside, due to the winter burning stove, did not use the chimney, in a particularly cold afternoon, Hao Long’s parents sealed the home tightly, but did not expect carbon monoxide poisoning, and so on Yaya came home from school when the parents have stopped breathing.
Peng Fei got the news when he was chasing drug dealers in the action, see comrades abuse, and then remembered just passed away parents, Peng Fei just lost control of his emotions, shot those few drug dealers.
Peng Fei is a strong character, after being forced to return home, with the more than 10,000 yuan of retirement fees, settled the parents after the incident, and then from a relative’s home to pick up the frightened, has not gone to school again sister.
