I said hello to Su Mei, and Lao Hei and I left directly.
Haven't had dinner yet.
Lao Hei took me to a barbecue restaurant next to the old street.
The shop is not big, and the room is smoky and a bit dirty.
But according to Lao Hei, their barbecue is one of the best in Habei.
The meat is small fat lamb imported from other places.
The seasonings are also made in-house.
The fat and lean mutton becomes sizzling and oily when grilled on the charcoal fire.
Coupled with the special seasonings, the taste is truly unparalleled.
After sitting down and playing a few games, my cell phone suddenly rang.
Without looking, I knew it was Brother Zhu calling.
As soon as I picked it up, I heard Brother Zhu coughing from the other side.
Then he asked:
"Brother, who is the man with that busty girl today?"
Brother Zhu doesn’t know yet.
At that time, I was standing upstairs watching everything that happened to them.
"Crazy Kun!"
"Feng Kun? He is the follower of the second boss of the Zou family, is he Feng Kun?"
"right!"
Brother Zhu was silent.
In Habei, no one wants to provoke the Zou family, including Brother Zhu.
"Did you know before that this woman is from the Zou family?"
"I found out last night!"
"and you……"
Brother Zhu didn't say the rest.
He originally wanted to ask why I asked him to block Huang Run even though I knew she was from the Zou family.
But Brother Zhu is a smart man.
The relationship with Feng Kun has been forged.
No matter how much you complain, it will have no effect.
He can only choose to accept it.
Brother Zhu may feel that he has been tricked by me.
But there is no way, this is Jianghu, this is a scammer.
Or, don't cooperate with me.
Or you have to be on my side.
After hanging up the phone, Lao Hei and I continued eating.
Lao Hei suddenly said to me:
"By the way, Mr. Liu, Mr. Niu will be discharged from the hospital at ten o'clock tomorrow. He said he wanted to see you, so let me tell you..."
I nodded.
"Okay, pick me up tomorrow and let's go together! Also, I met Li Dabiao, and he wants to bet with you. I'll contact him when we make a plan..."
Lao Hei agreed.
After dinner, I returned home.
Lying in bed, my mind began to review the recent events.
I took care of Feng Kun and Huang Run today.
This also indirectly offended the second boss, whom I had not met yet.
I know that the second boss will not let it go easily.
Now, I want to take a good look at it.
What should I do next?
Just as I was thinking about it, the cell phone beside my pillow suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a man's voice coming from the other side.
"twelve!"
twelve?
I was slightly startled.
But I remembered it immediately.
This person is the handsome young man Chen Yonghong I met at Li Dabiao's coin game. He calls himself Mr. Hong.
He thought I was a fool and wanted to take me to make money.
"Master Hong!"
I'm very polite.
Chen Yonghong is very satisfied with my attitude.
He pretended to agree and said:
"I just visited two places, and one of them is good. Tomorrow night, I will take you to win money. Remember, don't turn off the phone and wait for my call!"
"good!"
I promised.
I'm short of time and money.
Now I only have a total of 100,000 yuan in hand.
Although I don't trust him.
But as long as there is a situation, I can think of ways to make money.
Early the next morning, after I had breakfast, Lao Hei came to pick me up and take me to the hospital.
When we arrived, Xiaoduo and Niu Lao had already completed the discharge procedures.
They are waiting for us in the pavilion of the hospital.
Niu Lao recovered very well.
The whole person, except for being a little thin.
My mental state is much better than before.
As soon as we arrived, Mr. Niu stood up immediately.
He cupped his fists at me, raised his hand to the right, and said:
"Xiao Liuye, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If it weren't for you this time, I would have left my old bones here. My old man has nothing else to do but hold fists and respect each other..."
"Old Niu, you're welcome!"
I also cupped my fists and saluted.
Mr. Niu is an old-school Jianghu person who pays special attention to Jianghu etiquette.
So when talking to him, I followed his etiquette.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Niu suddenly said to Xiao Duo beside him:
"Xiaoduo, you put your luggage in the car first. I want to have a private chat with Mr. Liu!"
Xiaoduo's big eyes rolled around.
It was obvious that she didn't want to leave.
But I didn’t dare to go against Mr. Niu’s wishes.
Lao Hei is quite sensible.
When Xiaoduo left, he followed suit.
In the pavilion, only Mr. Niu and I were left.
I lit a cigarette for Mr. Niu. Mr. Niu took a long puff and said slowly:
"People come to see me when they are old and sick, and they are talking about people like me. I am getting older now, and the road to the Rongmen is getting narrower and narrower. I am not afraid of Xiao Liuye's jokes when I say it. The Rongmen of today are not like the Rongmen of the past.
Sect. These disciples and disciples no longer have any rules to follow..."
I didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
I guess Mr. Niu won't talk to me about this for no reason.
He must have something to say.
"When I entered the Rongmen family, my master always warned me about the rules. The first thing I said was that thieves also have their own ways. Seven don't steal, eight don't rob. Blind, dumb, crazy, paralyzed, prostitute, this is absolutely unacceptable.
The old and the weak must give way, women and children need to take a detour, and life-saving money needs to be protected! But now these little thieves, they don’t care about that. As long as they can get the money, they dare to do anything!”
As he said this, Mr. Niu shook his head and sighed.
"Hey, the current Rongmen is finished!"
I nodded and agreed:
"It's all the same. My master also said that the current Qianmen is finished!"
This is not a lie.
Mr. Liu did say that.
In the past, Qianmen was all about resourcefulness and technique.
Today's scammers are all high-tech.
No one is willing to learn thousands of techniques anymore.
"Yeah, in fact, no matter how nice it is, no matter how clear the rules are, it's useless. Stealing is stealing, and a thief is a thief. No matter where you put it, stealing from others is just a problem. I have also thought about it this time. From now on
, withdrew from the world, returned to her hometown in seclusion..."
Mr. Niu smoked a cigarette, looked into the distance, and said calmly.
I quite agree with Mr. Niu’s idea.
If you do this job, you can live a good life and return to your hometown safely.
Even if it has five drawbacks and three shortcomings, it’s still pretty good.
As he said that, Mr. Niu looked at me and suddenly asked:
"Master Xiao Liu, what do you think of that kid Xiaoduo?"
I seem to understand somewhat what Niu Lao means.
But I still pretended to be confused and replied:
"He is smart and has a wild temper. He is a good knife, but he is not easy to tame!"
Mr. Niu laughed heartily.
"Yes, this girl is very unruly. Hey, it was me who spoiled her for so many years!"
Mr. Niu looked at me again and asked:
"Last time under the bridge, I met Mr. Liu for the first time. I wonder if you still remember, but I once said that I would give Master Xiao Liu a big gift!"
I nodded slightly.
But I was shocked.
Unexpectedly, at that time, Mr. Niu thought of arranging a way out for Xiaoduo.
Moreover, this retreat has something to do with me.
"The great gift I'm talking about is Xiaoduo. I don't want this girl to continue on the path of being a member of the Rong family. This girl is too wild and has a stubborn personality. If she walks alone in the world, she will break down sooner or later. At least she will squat for a few years.
At worst, it means losing your life. So, what I want to say is, if Mr. Xiao Liu doesn’t dislike it, let this girl follow Mr. Liu from now on. Bring tea and water, spread the mat to warm your feet. Just be a servant girl...
…”
Mr. Niu said it very sincerely.
But I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Let her bring tea and water, spread the mat and warm her feet?
