Chapter 5 The Middle-Aged Man
Born in a small mountain village, Jiang Chen is very familiar with this group of old gangsters who have been parasitic in the village for most of his life.
With a few nice words and a shocking amount of alcohol, Bian soon turned Butcher Wu and the old fritters in the village who had always been at odds with him into a drunken mess.
Of course, through Jiang Chen's operation, Wu Butcher has become the most dazzling existence today.
The villagers present expressed their congratulations on the surface.
But deep down in my heart, there was no one who couldn't help but feel jealous because I had missed out on Jiang Chen, the golden son-in-law.
Wu Yue watched from the side as her man walked around the banquet with ease.
A gentle smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart when he saw Wu Yue watching him silently.
"Clang!"
But at this moment, a soft sound of broken dishes suddenly made Jiang Chen's relaxed nerves suddenly tense.
This feeling is like the spotlight shining on me while performing a secret mission in the dark in my previous life.
It is a feeling of being exposed, the most primitive fear of a prey facing a hunter.
Jiang Chen's back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat and he subconsciously dodged not far away, like a frightened rabbit.
But when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that he was carrying a middle-aged man in ragged clothes.
The middle-aged man's hair is mixed with black and white, and his resolute face looks particularly vicissitudes under the short gray stubble.
A scar stretched from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, making his face as strong as iron.
But in sharp contrast, the middle-aged man's eyes are indeed bloodshot and filled with grievances.
This strong sense of tearing, absurd and funny, instantly lowered the vigilance of Jiang Chen's original bodyguard.
But on the other side, completely opposite to Jiang Chen, when the villagers saw this middle-aged man, their faces were full of sarcasm, and they all smiled wildly.
"Hey~, why are you here to eat and drink again? Look, you scared our Mr. Jiang!"
Some people didn't even treat him as a human being, and kicked the middle-aged man's empty sleeves hard.
"You're a soldier! What the hell are you doing, Mr. Jiang? What the hell are you doing?"
"What a bad luck!"
The middle-aged man was shaken by the kick, but Nuo Da's eyes did not blink, nor did he complain. However, when he heard the word "die as a soldier," the scarlet bloodshot eyes in his eyes became a little deeper.
.
"I...I just want to help, Mr. Jiang...I'm sorry..."
He looked at Jiang Chen aggrievedly, like a child who had made a mistake.
But when the villagers saw the pitiful appearance of the middle-aged man, not only did they show no mercy, but they became even more arrogant.
"Damn it! What a stinky soldier! How can there be so many excuses? If you hadn't lost the war in the north, we wouldn't be living such a miserable life now!"
"You deserve to beg for food! You should have died long ago!"
The middle-aged man's lips trembled violently, but he didn't bite.
On the contrary, when Jiang Chen heard this, he felt angry. He was originally a soldier, how could he tolerate soldiers being insulted like this?
"That's enough! Soldiers have gone through life and death to protect you, throwing their lives and blood. It's too harsh to speak like this!"
His tone was cold, and he glanced at the villager who was speaking. The terrifying cold air instantly scared the shit out of him.
When the man came back to his senses, he was still a little unconvinced. He forced his mouth to grin, smiled angrily, and said in a strange way.
"Jiang... Mr. Jiang, didn't I help you teach this bastard a lesson? Besides, they are doing it for the emperor, not for us..."
"When you were down and out, you grew up eating a lot of food. You can't just yell at us like this when you have some money!"
"that is…"
Hearing this, the villagers who had eaten enough and had nothing to do began to murmur.
Jiang Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with Silly Egg, because he was more concerned about who this middle-aged man was... Wu Qingshan, who had just finished his work and was drunk, saw this scene and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he immediately
A smooth fight was made.
"Everyone, Brother Jiang and my father are a little drunk. Let's stop here today! I will invite you to have a good time when my sister gets married the other day."
When the villagers saw that Wu Qingshan had issued an order to expel guests, and since they had eaten their wine today, they couldn't say anything more, so they cursed and left.
Looking at the crowd gradually leaving, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and made up his mind.
When Wu Qingshan saw this, he thought it was because his uncle was not feeling well, and just as he was about to step forward to comfort him, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Qingshan, I'm fine, I'm just a little drunk..."
As he said that, he walked slowly towards the back of the middle-aged man just now with unsteady steps.
When he was less than five steps away, Jiang Chen suddenly staggered, his whole body fell forward uncontrollably, and his fingertips stabbed towards the middle-aged man's waist.
In the flash of lightning, a sharp edge flashed across the middle-aged man's originally cloudy eyes.
He turned around instantly and subconsciously raised his stump to pat it down.
But when he discovered that it was actually Jiang Chen, the hand suspended in mid-air instantly stopped its strength, switched from beating to dragging, and lifted Jiang Chen up.
"Jiang...Mr. Jiang, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man quickly returned to his fearful look before, but a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"No...it's okay..."
Jiang Chen stood up somewhat staggeringly, feeling extremely shocked.
Just now the big man changed his filming to procrastination, but it was just in the blink of an eye.
This kind of precise control of force is even better than what he had in his previous life.
Master! This man is definitely a master! He actually has such skill! His origin is definitely extraordinary!
"This... this wine is too strong. It took me... so long to get drunk..."
The big man was slightly startled when he saw Jiang Chen like this. He completely relaxed his vigilance and revealed a faint smile on his lips.
"I didn't expect that such a young and talented Mr. Jiang would be so drunk!"
"Haha! There is nothing better than this world. In this world, gold cannot shine even if it is covered with a rag. Sometimes it is better to be confused!!"
After hearing this, I remembered Jiang Chen's previous defense of himself in front of everyone. The middle-aged man's eyebrows were downcast, and he slowly lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face. He opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see the man's thoughts.
"What...what's wrong? Is there anything else?"
The middle-aged man's Adam's apple squirmed, and finally he slowly walked to Jiang Chen's side, plopped down and knelt down on one knee.
"Mr. Jiang, I want to work with you on a certain errand. I don't know if I can..."
"sure!"
Jiang Chen was ecstatic in his heart. He was just thinking about how to bring this person under his command, but now he actually sent him to his door.
"As long as you can stand and earn money, you can become my brother, Jiang Chen. Just come to the market to find me tomorrow! By the way! You...what's your name?"
Looking at the groggy Jiang Chen, the middle-aged man was silent for a long time before speaking his name like a thief.
