The wind blew the fallen leaves, and there was no one in the alley.
Li Cheng and Lao Cheng walked into the alley and saw that they were dressed almost the same, both wearing light-colored windbreakers and top hats with the brims pulled down very low.
If this kind of outfit were worn in Shanghai in the 1940s, it would have been the most fashionable. But in Weizhou in 1999, these two people would have stood out.
Dressing like this was entirely Old Cheng's idea; he had no shortage of old-fashioned clothes. As for why he asked Li Cheng to dress like this, it was because, in his own words, "We're not doing anything legitimate, so it's best to dress a little mysteriously."
But dressed this way, Li Cheng exudes the style of Xu Wenqiang from Shanghai. Old Cheng, on the other hand, doesn't look like Zhou Li. In Li Cheng's words, Old Cheng looks more like a Military Control Commission agent.
After the two of them walked into the alley, Li Cheng deliberately slowed down his pace and let Lao Cheng walk in front of him.
It was Old Cheng who contacted them, so naturally, he was the one who would handle the matter. Li Cheng was there to accompany him, just to give him courage.
The alley was very long. After walking for a while, they saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the corner of a house in front of them.
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for someone, Lao Cheng turned around and looked at Li Cheng, who nodded at him.
So, Old Cheng walked over and said in a low voice: "The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth."
The man glanced at Lao Cheng, probably thinking that Lao Cheng was not a normal person, and turned to walk to the other side------
When Lao Cheng saw the man leave, he turned around and looked at Li Cheng. Li Cheng looked around to see if there was anyone else around, so he signaled Lao Cheng to follow the man.
Old Cheng took a few quick steps and soon caught up with the middle-aged man. This time, before Old Cheng could say anything, he heard the middle-aged man say, "Did you bring the things?"
When Lao Cheng heard this, he quickly said, "I brought it."
As he spoke, Old Cheng pulled an envelope from his pocket. The middle-aged man reached out and snatched the envelope from him, then said, "See that big tree? There's a hole in it. The day after tomorrow, at this time, put the things in the hole."
After saying this, the middle-aged man suddenly quickened his pace and left in a hurry.
As Old Cheng stood there watching, Li Cheng came over. He patted Old Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back."
Old Cheng looked into the distance and said, "He won't lie to me, will he?"
Seeing that the man had disappeared into the alley, Li Cheng said again, "It's normal for me to lie to you. But, do you have any other ideas?"
Old Cheng turned to look at Li Cheng and said, "There's no way. There's no way."
"That's it, wait."
Old Cheng was still worried. He looked into the distance again and said, "I'll go to that tree and take a look. He said to put the things in the tree hole the day after tomorrow. I'll see if there is a tree hole."
Li Cheng looked ahead and saw an old locust tree.
The two walked under the big tree and saw that there was indeed a tree hole on the trunk of the tree at a height of more than one person.
Old Cheng looked up and said, "You have to come with me again the day after tomorrow."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come with you again."
On the way back, Lao Cheng said worriedly, "Li Cheng, is this illegal?"
Li Cheng said, "Of course it counts, why not?"
Old Cheng remained silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "Forget it. I'll contact this person and tell him I'm done with it."
Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Old Cheng, think it over carefully. This idea was yours. If you stop now, it means you will continue to live in the side room. Besides, when your partner comes back and you marry her, you may have no place to live."
Li Cheng's words put Lao Cheng in a dilemma. To be honest, Lao Cheng had never even stolen a classmate's pencil since he was in elementary school. Now he was actually paying someone to make him a fake certificate, especially a fake marriage certificate. This was a bit sad for him.
Old Cheng thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Li Cheng, how about I listen to you? I will do whatever you say."
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "I can help you, but I can't make the decision for you on this matter."
Old Cheng was completely at a loss. He looked up at the sky and shouted, "Let's listen to God."
After shouting, Lao Cheng took out a coin and threw it into the sky------
Old Cheng threw the coin a bit too hard, and it went a bit high. As luck would have it, a sudden gust of wind blew, carrying dust and sand with it. Although Old Cheng and Li Cheng were both staring at the coin, the wind blinded them. When the coin fell, it rolled away, and no one knew where it went.
"From the sound, it fell here. How come I can't find it?" Old Cheng said while picking at the leaves.
Li Cheng also heard the coin fall here. At this time, he wiped his eyes and said, "Why did you throw it so high? Don't you know there is a god above your head?"
After saying that, Li Cheng also lowered his head to look for the coin, but he didn't see the shadow of the coin, so he looked up and said, "Forget it, I won't look for it anymore. Now you have a third choice."
Old Cheng looked up at him and asked in surprise, "The third option?"
"Yes, besides continuing to let that person give false testimony and calling it a day, you have a third option, which is to let nature take its course."
"Let it be?"
Li Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, let it be. The day after tomorrow, if you really want to go to the tree hole, then go. If you really don't want to go, or feel you can't go, then don't go."
Old Cheng thought about it and felt that Li Cheng was right. Maybe he wouldn't be so worried the day after tomorrow. He would talk about it then.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and talk about it the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Lao Cheng continued to walk forward.
After Lao Cheng left, Li Cheng saw a coin where Lao Cheng had just stood.
Li Cheng walked over and bent down to pick up the coin. He wondered if Lao Cheng really didn't see the coin, or if he found that the coin was not the side he wanted, so he pretended that he couldn't find the coin.
Li Cheng didn't know what the front and back of the coin meant to Old Cheng. So, he held the coin in his palm and quickly chased after Old Cheng.
After Li Cheng caught up with him, he asked, "Old Cheng, which side do you want?"
Old Cheng didn't think much about it and said casually: "Positive."
Li Cheng smiled but said nothing. He already had the answer in his mind. However, Li Cheng would not ask any more questions because he knew that if he continued to ask, Old Cheng would continue to worry.
Li Cheng took two quick steps, suddenly turned around and stood in front of him, then stretched out his palm, and the coin appeared in front of Lao Cheng.
"Old Cheng, it's positive."
After saying that, Li Cheng put the coin in his hand, turned around and left.
