"Eat it while it's hot, it's all brought for you. By the way, where are you and those little tramps?" Lu Xiaobei asked.
The meat buns were devoured, and there was no time to talk to Lu Xiaobei. Although the Yuanxiao was a bit hot, he ate the meat buns very quickly. He was sweating all over as he ate, and the heat in the thermos evaporated onto his face.
On his face, small droplets of water condensed on his face. The water droplets were mixed with the hot sweat, rolling down his cheeks and dripping on the cold ground.
Rou Baozi thanked Lu Xiaobei from the bottom of his heart, not only because Lu Xiaobei brought him Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, but more importantly, Lu Xiaobei could still remember Rou Baozi in his current status. While eating Rou Baozi,
, while shedding tears of excitement.
"I think I have been running in the underworld for many years. When I was prosperous, many people rushed to fawn over me. Those who gave me money, gave me cigarettes, and anyone who could use me came to fawn over me. But since I was
After Kang Junfu was defeated, no one remembered who my meat bun was. It has been ten years, but today someone finally brought me a pot of hot water to drink. When I was the coldest and most miserable, you were the only one, Mr. Lu.
Bei still remembers me, but I can't repay you with anything. I'm a useless person. If you need anything from me, a useless person, I, the meat bun, will never give up!"
Rou Baozi was talking, crying, and eating. He finished a pot of hot Yuanxiao and drank a pot of hot Yuanxiao soup. Rou Baozi touched his bulging belly and used a dirty
He wiped the residue of Yuanxiao on his lips with his sleeve. He smiled contentedly, his eyes filled with gratitude to Lu Xiaobei.
"Where are those little tramps around you?" Lu Xiaobei asked again.
"I'll give them all the money you gave me and let them make a living on their own. After all, I, the meat bun, am now a clay Buddha and I can't save myself when crossing the river. That group of young people who follow me won't have a big future, and they will
Because I was implicated, I gave them all the money so that they could take care of themselves." Rou Baozi said frankly.
"You let them go and gave them all the money, what will you do? How will you live without these gadgets in the future?" Lu Xiaobei asked.
"Human life is not so fragile. Anyone can survive if I leave them. Those little tramps can still be pickpockets and beggar if they leave me. They will still live the same as now, or even better than now. And
Although I have no legs, I still have hands. I can go to the vegetable market to pick up leaves to eat, and I can also reach out and beg for food. I don’t have much time to live, so I can live one day at a time. Maybe you can give me a gift today.
This pot of hot Yuanxiao is the last hot meal I will eat in my life." Rou Baozi said pessimistically, with helplessness and despair in his eyes.
"Senior Roubaozi, didn't you say you wanted to repay me? I want you to come with me, are you willing?" Lu Xiaobei suddenly expressed his thoughts. This idea also suddenly occurred to Lu Xiaobei.
If it were ten years ago, let alone Lu Xiaobei brought a pot of hot Yuanxiao soup, even if he brought a pot of gold, Roubaozi would not have nodded and agreed to become Lu Xiaobei's younger brother. But ten years later,
Today, Roubaozi is no longer what he used to be. He is far less domineering than he once was, and he no longer has the ambition he once had. An old beggar who makes a living by picking up vegetable leaves, when he hears about a man who is now prosperous in society,
A big brother-level figure wanted to take him in, so how could he have any reason to refuse? It was too late for him to be happy.
"You want...you want to take me in...but...but I am a useless person...I can't help you at all..." Roubaozi said doubtfully.
"I not only want to take you in, but you also want to recruit all the little beggars with you. I need your help and their help. In the words of Chairman Mao, we must unite all the forces that can be united. Although, now,
"Your power is very little, but your arrival will definitely bring me the power I want. Although this power is weak at the moment, it will become a big thing in the future!" When Lu Xiaobei finished this sentence
At that time, the door was filled with young tramps. Although these tramps were all wearing rags and covering their bodies, each of them had a longing look in their eyes. They looked at Lu Xiaobei gratefully. It seemed that Lu Xiaobei had
Where their hope lies.
Lu Xiaobei looked back at the group of children. The oldest among them was fifteen years old, two years younger than Lu Xiaobei. The youngest was ten years old. They were all children who had been at the bottom of society for many years. They
Their minds are more mature and sensible than those of other children of this age.
"From tomorrow onwards, you and Uncle Roubaozi who are following you will all belong to me, Lu Xiaobei. You will be a member of my Crazy Knife Club. You can stop begging for food on the street and stop stealing other people's wallets.
, but from now on you will have a machete in your hands, and you will truly embark on the most difficult, most ferocious, and most insidious road in this society. On this road, you can have no conscience, but you must have your own dignity.
! Those who are willing to follow me, come in, and those who are not willing to follow me, please leave now!" Lu Xiaobei said.
After Lu Xiaobei finished speaking, all the children outside the door came in one by one. The room was full, and there were many people crowded at the door. Lu Xiaobei took a look and saw that there were at least thirty beggars here.
These thirty beggars are not backed up in the police station. They all have black household registration, no identity, no job, and no worries of their own. Lu Xiaobei wants to train them into his secret weapons and train them to become murderers.
An unblinking violent maniac.
As Lu Xiaobei said before, maybe now, this group of beggars is still extremely weak, but after training, this group of people will definitely become an elite force in Lu Xiaobei's hands, and they will definitely become Lu Xiaobei's elite force.
Bei’s biggest trump card!
The Lantern Festival has passed, the National Day has passed, and the year is over. The remaining corpses of fireworks and firecrackers are still piled on the streets, mixed with the snow on the dark side, forming three colors of red, white and black.
At that time, the countryside was undergoing reform, and the land in the village began to be contracted out. Some with connections would leave the village to fight for a piece of land for themselves, or open fish ponds or plant forests, and they could make a small fortune.
Lu Xiaobei also saw this business opportunity and bought an orchard in a place called Zaolintun. Everyone in the village knew that this orchard was not fertile soil and no fruit would grow well. Lu Xiaobei was more courageous.
, I am also more open-minded and might as well plant poplar trees here. I buy saplings and plant them on the ground. Planting trees takes time. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to educate people. It takes at least ten years for a tree to grow from a small number to a mature one.
time, during these ten years, you need constant care and constant investment of capital.
All the villagers thought that Lu Xiaobei was a fool. No one in the village was contracting such a piece of ruined land. Lu Xiaobei was better off, so he came up and bought it directly. Although the price was very low, almost the same as the contract price, but buying this
A piece of land means that you only need to pay ten years for it.
In fact, Lu Xiaobei was not interested in drinking. He did not buy this land really to plant trees, and he did not want to make money by selling so many poplar trees. He bought this land with two thoughts.
First, he can spend tens of thousands of dollars to build several bungalows and courtyards in the woods, so that a group of people he cultivates, such as Rou Baozi, his beggars, and those who have no family members can live there.
Come in, hire people to train them every day, turn this place into a small training ground, and secretly cultivate your own strength. Presumably, no one will find out if you hide people in such a place.
Moreover, in 1997, China's economy was developing rapidly. At that time, Lu Xiaobei had already seen that the land would have a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Zaolintun was very close to the urban area. If the province allocated funds to expand the city,
The village of Zaolintun will inevitably be developed first. When the time comes, when the government requisitions the land, it will definitely give a price that is more than ten times higher than the current price. If developers take a fancy to this place and want to develop it, the price will be
The one given is higher.
Although the current group of people would like to see Lu Xiaobei foolishly buying this land with a large sum of money, in three years' time, the price of this land will increase five times from the current price!
Yingde College has started school again, and Lu Xiaobei has almost done everything. His more than thirty venues in the town have calmed down recently, and he is no longer harassed by Yang Minglei's forces. But this does not mean that Yang Minglei
Let's just give it up. In this geomantic treasure land of Lingbei Town, he, Yang Minglei, will definitely fight to the death with Lu Xiaobei!
A few days after school started, Lu Xiaobei took Yang Shuai and Zhao Penghui to Lingbei No. 1 Middle School. The three of them squatted at the gate of Lingbei No. 1 Middle School, waiting for the children of No. 1 Middle School to finish school.
Lu Xiaobei and Zhao Penghui were wearing the tunic-like uniforms of Yingde College, and Yang Shuai was wearing a white shirt. The three of them were smoking cigarettes and looking at the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
"Brother Bei, why did you think of coming here today? Do you want to attack Yang Minglei?" Zhao Penghui asked.
"If I wanted to attack Yang Minglei, I couldn't take you two with me," Lu Xiaobei said.
"Then what are you here for?" Zhao Penghui asked again.
"Look for Xu Qian." Lu Xiaobei said, school was out at No. 1 Middle School.
"Xu Qian is Yang Minglei's person now, why are you still trying to find her?" Zhao Penghui asked.
"It is precisely because she is Yang Minglei's person that I want to find her. Only by asking her can I know the details of Yang Minglei's current situation most directly," Lu Xiaobei said.
"But aren't you afraid of meeting Yang Minglei here? If Xu Qian and Yang Minglei come out together, will you go up or not..." Zhao Penghui asked.
"I asked someone to inquire. Yang Minglei hasn't been to school these days, and he may be doing some tricks secretly." Lu Xiaobei said.
"Then do you think that even if we can't meet Yang Minglei and find Xu Qian, what can you ask her about? Don't forget, Xu Qian is now with Yang Minglei." Zhao Penghui said again.
Lu Xiaobei said with a smile: "I have also inquired about this. Xu Qian and Yang Minglei are not so close now. Yang Minglei is a rich and powerful man with many girlfriends, so he will not use his time on Xu Qian.
Xu Qian alone. When a woman is ignored by her man, she will think of revenge on this man, so it is most appropriate to find Xu Qian now."
Brother Bei, Xu Qian is out." Zhao Penghui said.
"Let's go over there." Lu Xiaobei flicked the cigarette to the ground and walked up with Zhao Penghui and Yang Shuai.
