Chapter 135 Variables
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The blood in the palms quickly condensed in the cold wind, turning into tiny particles that stuck to the palm lines.

Fujiadian, Heilongjiang, borders the Songhua River to the north and the China-Eastern Railway to the west. It is easily accessible by water and land, so it is naturally a place with many merchants.

Nowadays, commercial transactions in the provincial capital are flourishing.

Old Man Fu ran a fur business here, and his life was quite prosperous. He was originally very strong. But two days ago, he took the train to Manzhouli to run a business. After returning home, he started to have headaches, brain fever, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Not long after, he suddenly... The situation of the next life has been revealed.

But early this morning, Old Man Fu suddenly felt a lot lighter and stronger. He was so stuffy in the house that he couldn't breathe, so he ignored the dissuasion of his family and insisted on going out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the person passed the wind, he began to cough violently again. It was not until he saw the blood coughed up in his palms that he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Old man! Are you feeling better? You're still coughing!" the neighbors asked enthusiastically.

Old Man Fu clenched his fists like a thief, turned around, and smiled guiltily: "It's almost healed! Ahem...he's almost healed!"

After saying that, Old Man Fu turned around and was about to go home.As a result, before he had taken fifty steps, he staggered and fell down.

When the neighbors saw this, they gathered around and took a breath, and they were all surprised.

"Ah! Dead!"

"Go to Lao Fu's house quickly and call his son!"

"Alas! This man was fine two days ago. How could he be gone now?"

There was a sudden commotion on the street. At this moment, no one could predict that the haze of death was spreading rapidly among the white mountains and black waters.

Like water pouring down the ground, like fire starting a prairie fire!
……

……

Fengtian, a secret house in the east of the city.

There was porridge and pickles on the Kang table. Jiang and Hu sat opposite each other, eating breakfast and talking about what happened last night.

"So, you haven't beaten him?" Hu Xiaoyan asked about Zhao Guoyan.

"What?" Jiang Xiaodao quickly corrected, "It's a tie! Overall, I still have the upper hand. I mainly wanted to capture him alive. If I really wanted to kill him, he would have died twice! Counting me. If you stop Uncle Six and Uncle Seven, that’s three times!”

"It's a tie, isn't there still no fight?"

"No, no, no! Wife, it's mainly because I didn't want to kill him that I fought with him."

"Oh, that means you never beat him during the fist fight."

"It's a tie! It's a tie, do you understand?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded: "I understand, but I've never fought before."

"Tsk! Are you done yet?" Jiang Xiaodao put down his bowl and chopsticks and became impatient, "What, you think I'm embarrassing you?"

"That's not true. From what you said, it seems like his skills are pretty good?"

Jiang Xiaodao thought for a while and had to admit: "That's true. People from Cangzhou are not easy to mess with!"

Hu Xiaoyan added: "When I saw him last night, he seemed to be about the same age as us, and his size and build were similar to yours."

"Well, but in terms of appearance, he is still a little inferior to me. If he tidies up again, he should be able to catch up to half of me!" As he spoke, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly became alert, "You ask this What are you doing? I'm warning you to behave like a woman!"

"What are you thinking! You're so petty!" Hu Xiaoyan couldn't help rolling her eyes, and then asked, "Xiaodao, do you still remember Feng Baoquan?"

"Who?" Jiang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, "Sounds familiar."

Hu Xiaoyan pointed to her ear and reminded: "That tailor, my aunt and sister's man, she asked you if you shot off half of his ear, because Feng Baoquan said that the shooter was a young man. ."

Jiang Xiaodao recalled that something had gone wrong with Feng Baoshen at the tailor shop when he was working for Zhou Yunfu.

"Hiss! You mean, this kid fired the gun back then?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded and continued: "He may not only have done this one thing." "Of course, he must also eat, drink, sleep, deceive, kidnap and steal." Jiang Xiaodao argued habitually.

"You are a bit serious!" Hu Xiaoyan complained, "Chen Wantang can send him alone to follow you, which shows that he trusts him and that he is indeed quite capable."

"and then?"

"At first, Zhou Yunfu sent you to burn the match factory and went through so much trouble just to drive a wedge between Chen Wantang and the Bai family. But now it seems that the Bai family has never suspected Chen Wantang. Don't you think this matter makes sense? ?"

Jiang Xiaodao frowned and thought.

Indeed, Zhou Yunfu went to such great lengths to make Bai Baochen suspect that Chen Wantang sent someone to burn down the match factory. However, for such a long time, the Bai family has been focusing on dealing with their father and has never found trouble with Chen Wantang.

Zhou Yunfu's arrangement seems to be of no use.

The only reasonable explanation is that Chen Wantang sent a message to the Bai family in time after the incident.

Thinking of Chen Wantang's trust in Zhao Guoyan, Jiang Xiaodao hesitated and said, "Is it possible that this guy went to deliver the message to the Bai family?"

Hu Xiaoyan felt the same way, but after thinking for a moment, she felt something was not right, so she said, "If Chen Wantang went to deliver a letter to the Bai family at that time, it means that he had betrayed him long ago. Why did he have to wait until now to take action?"

"My father always said that Chen Wantang was ambitious. I guess he still wanted to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and not get involved, right?"

"Maybe……"

Hu Xiaoyan frowned, looking anxious.

This anxiety comes from her not wanting to be a burden to anyone.

In troubled times, being a burden means that you may be abandoned at any time.

Xiaodao will never be able to experience this kind of fear and uneasiness personally, and it is not something he can easily dispel with a few words.

For this reason, Hu Xiaoyan always worked hard to prove that she was a useful person, but her physical limitations forced her to only try to get a glimpse of the whole incident through hearsay.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't want to go into it further, he just said: "Hey! No matter what you say now, it's all just guesswork! When that kid wakes up, kill him and kill him, and then you'll know everything!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyan suddenly had a whim and said: "Xiaodao, he is about the same age as us and has enough ability. Have you ever thought about taking him in under your cover?"

"What?" Jiang Xiaodao's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me? He is a traitor and a member of Chen Wantang. If I don't kill him, I will have to destroy him. I will accept whatever I want!"

Hu Xiaoyan was puzzled: "Why is he a traitor?"

"He rebelled with Chen Wantang. What is he other than a traitor?"

"Then if our father betrays you, will you also be a traitor?"

"Me? I'm following my father, not Zhou Yunfu's old friend!"

"Same, he is following Chen Wantang, not Zhou Yunfu."

Jiang Xiaodao frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied, and immediately asked: "Why do you always turn your elbows outward?"

Hu Xiaoyan argued: "No, I just think, we can't rely on those little fans to succeed, right? No matter what, we have to have a similar helper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound on the courtyard door.

The two of them looked up through the window and saw their seventh uncle, Gong Baonan, striding across the yard and into the back room.

"Xiaodao, I heard that your father is in Xiaoheyan Hospital. Can you go there now?"

Jiang Xiaodao turned over and got off the kang and asked, "Where is Uncle Six?"

Gong Baonan paused for a moment, then hesitantly said: "He...he went to the city to do some errands and will go to the hospital soon."

"That's okay!" Jiang Xiaodao pushed the wooden wheelchair to the kang, "Daughter-in-law, change your clothes, and we'll go there together. Uncle Qi, help me and Xiaohua look after the house, don't let that kid in the warehouse escape!"
