"So you are his petite."
Zhang Haike nodded, lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, you can use the word petite. I started training with him together, many, many things, his habits, I know his likes better than you. If you are willing to listen, I can tell you all about him."
I was a little hesitant whether I should trust him, and the fat man said: "You tell me quickly. But I tell you You, if you let me find some flaws, we will have nothing to talk about."
Zhang Haike said: "Don't worry, for better cooperation and for my purpose, I will never lie to you." Said to Zhang Haixing With a wink, Zhang Haixing got up and left.
Then, Zhang Haike sighed and said to me: "When he was born, a big thing happened in our Zhang family. This incident is the beginning of everything and the root of all decline."
Zhang Haike is really nothing . The talent of being a writer can be said with a hammer and a hammer, and the fat man can hear it in a fog. I'm definitely stronger than Fatty. Being good at summarizing and organizing is my advantage, and I already have a certain theoretical understanding of the Zhang family and the whole incident. Therefore, I recorded what Zhang Haike said in my own language.
For a long time, the Zhang family's intermarriage has been very strict. The Zhang family is very powerful and can control almost everything. This family usually conducts internal intermarriage. Fortunately, the family is huge, and there are no embarrassing problems.
However, the younger brother is an outlier in this family. No one knows who the little brother's mother is. When the little brother's father brought the little brother back to the family, it should be a cold winter. Back then, the little brother's father went to Nepal to deliver a batch of goods and went for a long time. When he came back, he was holding a baby that was still in swaddling hands.
Without the care of his mother, the younger brother grew up in a chaotic environment. When he was ignorant, he didn't even know who his father was. The huge and vigorous system of this family made him unable to distinguish. To a large extent, this is the reason why the little brother is reluctant to talk more.
In Zhang Haike's description, the Zhang family mansion at that time was located in the Jinling Mountains. This is just the residence of the Zhang family, the extension of the entire village, and dozens of foreigners from the Zhang family. Although they are all surnamed Zhang and control many people, the status of the Zhang family is much higher than that of the foreigners.
Zhang Haike is a child of the Zhang family, so he has very few opportunities to go to his family's big house.
Most of Zhang's family's children are arrogant, so when Zhang Haike occasionally enters the family's compound, he always goes in for New Year's greetings, and those children are not very willing to play with him.
Zhang Haike didn't care about the ranunculus in his heart, because for him, the authority represented by the Zhang family only depended on the support of the foreigners of the Zhang family, which was a tacit understanding.
He believes that he can live more freely as a foreigner. There are many rules in his family, and many things are too tight. But what Zhang Haike is particularly concerned about is that he often sees a particularly withdrawn child in Zhangjiaben's house. This child does not speak, and does not play with other children. He just stands quietly in the patio, or stands on the patio. Beneath the side porch, looking at the sky on the patio, I was in a daze.
Zhang Haike is very strange. This child is very special, which makes him have a curiosity to know more. Moreover, this child is not welcomed by other people in his family, which makes him feel kind.
Once, his father took him to his home to do business, and his father discussed matters with other clansmen. He was alone in the courtyard of his home, and he saw the child again. This child was Zhang Qiling, who was only three years old at the time. He thought for a while, then summoned up the courage to walk towards him and asked, "What are you doing here, why don't you play with them?" The
child looked at him and shook his head , did not speak. This is the first dialogue between Zhang Haike and Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Haike stayed with his little brother in the yard that day. Zhang Haike had a strange tenacity. He felt that as long as he kept talking and talking, the child would always talk to him and communicate with him, but this time he was A chess match.
This child has been listening quietly, looking at the sky, not knowing if he has listened or not, and he doesn't know if he cares. When Zhang Haike left, he thought, could he be a sick child? An abnormal child? Can't speak? Or he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
After this meeting, it took ten years for them to meet for the second time. At that time, Zhang Haike was already fifteen years old. The Zhang family's children have to undergo very strict training since childhood, and have very strict requirements on bouncing and skill. The age of fifteen is a very important hurdle for them, because after the age of fifteen, the children of the Zhang family can search for ancient tombs by themselves and establish their own reputation. The Zhang family called this behavior letting go.
Ten years later, the younger brother should be thirteen years old, so Zhang Haike was particularly surprised when he saw a younger brother who was a head shorter than himself among a group of children who were going to be released into the wild.
The process of being released into the wild is very, very dangerous. Many children of the Zhang family died in the process of being released into the wild, but they also benefited from the very strict training of the Zhang family, so these things gradually began to improve after a few generations.
The Zhang family's children knew from a very young age that letting go wild is a very, very dangerous thing, so they trained hard. Of course, there are some children among them who give up this kind of training very early in order to avoid this danger. On the one hand, they won't fight for any status in the family, and on the other hand, they save their own lives.
Letting go wild is often reckless. One of the basic thinking of the Zhang family is: just do this thing, don't care about any means. So many children go together to rob an ancient tomb. In this case, more people are more powerful, and everyone can divide labor and cooperate.
Zhang Haike found that the little brother did not seem to have such plans. When everyone packed up together and prepared dry food and travel expenses, the little brother was already on the road in silence.
Zhang Haike was a person who made a wide range of friends. He discussed with a few friends at the time as to which area would be suitable for robbing ancient tombs. One of his friends got the layout of a Shanxi ancient tomb from nowhere. It is said to be an oil bucket. As long as they get there, they can get the antiques very easily.
This is also allowed in the Zhang family, because the source of information and the processing and mastery of intelligence are all very important abilities. If Zhang Haike follows them, basically there will be no problems in this test, and the latter things will not occur, but Zhang Haike can't help but be a little worried when he sees his little brother, a 13-year-old child, on the road alone.
Zhang Haike is a person who hates the family system very much. This is also the reason why he hates the family. He doesn't like the rules and regulations set by the family. He feels that a thirteen-year-old child is forced to go on the road alone. is very unfair.
He heard from the mouths of other children in the family that the younger brother's father died when the younger brother was seven or eight years old, and the younger brother was raised by his uncle. There won't be too much love and happiness, and the little brother is so taciturn, he thinks it may be that someone in the family doesn't want him to continue to live at all.
At that time, Zhang Haike was very confident in his ability. Not only did he train his fingers to be much stronger than ordinary people, but his speed also reached a certain level, so he could almost be regarded as a rare tomb robber at that time.
At that time, the little brother was still a very thin child. The strength and length of his fingers were not particularly outstanding. After all, he was only thirteen years old. The weak look of the little brother walking made Zhang Haike feel that he must be in a bad way, so he chose to part ways with his friends, and chose to protect this little boy from Zhang's family. This may have been the most successful decision of his life.
