We haven't had time to chat privately with Mr. Wang yet. Because Rensheng Society is holding a martial arts competition in full swing these days, it happened to be the finals when I came back.
We shared a car with Mr. Wang, and the other brothers changed into another car. Five cars came to Renshengshe Jingmen Hall in a mighty manner.
In the car, I asked Na Jintang curiously: "Is this a fighting competition? Will the brothers get some silver coins if they win? Are all my brothers participating this time? Do you accept men?" I kept talking.
Words are like machine guns.
Because Mr. Wang was sitting in the front row, Na Jintang, who was sitting in the back row, didn't say too much as he should. He behaved like a son in front of Mr. Wang. He deliberately coughed lightly.
, said slowly in a neither light nor serious tone: "The martial arts competition is one of the most important things we do every year. The purpose of the competition is to let brothers keep fit and have a strong heart, no matter where they are.
Whenever and wherever, maintain the chivalrous spirit of warriors. In today's turbulent times, good physical fitness is particularly important. Chivalrous people must have a vast spirit. This is the purpose of our competition."
I saw through perspective that Mr. Wang nodded, and the corners of his mouth were raised. It seemed that he greatly appreciated and agreed with Na Jintang's answer.
"Well." His answer was very complete and comprehensive, but it was a bit too formal. His answer did not disturb my curiosity, "Since there is a competition, there can be prizes for everyone.
Participating together and having products can stimulate more people to participate, right? This can be regarded as a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
After my question was posed, before Na Jintang had time to answer, Mr. Wang spoke up: "Mao Jiujiu, how do you think the prizes should be set up?"
"If you want to ask me whether you want to hear the truth or lies?" Let me clarify, always be a villain before being a gentleman, be courteous before fighting. How about that? No matter what nonsense I say later, the most important thing is to ask for a peace charm first.
. Anyway, I can't say any profound theory, but at least I can talk about it in a fair way. But whether my theory is consistent with their ideas and nipping them in the bud is something I can learn from my experience in escaping.
Na Jintang was shaken, his chest was shaking, and I felt his controlled smile. I looked at the smile that was about to deform, and continued to look at him with my eyes, to see if you are smiling or not?
I looked at him with a dark look on my face. It seemed that he didn’t want me to look too ugly in front of my old man. If I told him any earth-shattering feats, he directly told me the answer: "For the first place, we will give a martial artist."
The No. 1 Scholar trophy, for those who have practiced martial arts for a long time, this kind of status in the world, which is simply constipation, is an extremely glorious thing. Everyone will look at them with admiration and gain a sense of social respect. Some people can only dream of it in their entire lives.
to this thing."
"There's just one trophy, are you done?" I asked again to make sure I heard correctly.
"It's over. Just a trophy." Na Jintang replied affirmatively.
"What about the second and third place?" I asked again.
"none."
"Is the trophy plated with solid gold?"
"copper."
"What else is there? Don't lie to me."
"none"
"Does it mean that if you get first place, you can get a higher salary? For example, you can serve as a coach or something to show off your power?"
"same as usual."
"..."
There is simply no desire to continue talking, it is as painful as boiled water.
When he said these words, he was also calm and looked at me with gentle eyes. I gave him a "safe" look in return, which meant to tell him: Don't worry too much about me, and you won't talk nonsense.
Looking at the anxiety on his face, I knew he was worried about me. But I could still suppress my curiosity because the old man gave me a space to express myself freely. He even encouraged me and said: "Mao Jiujiu, don't worry.
Tell me, I will not pursue anything you say. Everyone’s ideas are different and their requirements for prizes are also different. Don’t stick to the formality? Just say it boldly. It’s done.
, I have a prize for all this.”
Why do I feel that he has fallen into a trap for me? No matter what, I should believe his true promise.
I said crisply: "I don't know if I'm a martial arts person in your eyes. Anyway, I, Mao Jiujiu, have had countless fights since I was a child, big and small. Before I came to Shanghai, my record was
Win more and lose less. Basically, you win by lying down. If I knew that there is a martial arts competition, if women are also allowed to participate, if I feel that my strength is not enough, I will definitely participate, but I am not participating for this reason.
What a martial arts dream, and I’m here for the prize!” I said it loudly and forcefully, with great justice, and of course it was also very realistic from my heart.
Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows, but his expression could not be seen: "Good point, continue."
Encouraged by Mr. Wang, I became bolder and talked freely: "I came here to fight, I came here to compete. There are no real prizes, there are no prizes that can impress me. I came here to get hurt and fight. Are you crazy? I have nothing to eat."
There is nothing to do, right? This is also a time-consuming and mental-intensive thing, okay? To put it bluntly, when we fought in the orphanage, the prize was just to earn a mouthful of food; when we fought in Shanghai, it was to survive;
If I were asked to participate in a fight in a martial arts competition, my prize requirements would be very simple. I don’t need this certificate and trophy, just give me a golden yellow croaker. If there is such a certificate, I can consider it.”
From the corner of my eye, I saw Na Jintang covering his forehead with his left hand. This damn guy was a loser when he was quiet. I took his hand away and looked at him sideways. I adjusted the language channel to Qingfengwu.
Dan, gritting his teeth: "Am I wrong? That sir!"
If what I said is wrong or exaggerated, I don’t need to take action on Najintang. What I said are all the truest words in my heart. If I don’t believe that these true words cannot represent a small group of people, Glory will definitely do it.
Yes, but it would be extremely scary if you don’t have money.
Mr. Wang smiled and expressed his views. Of course, I would not let his views influence my thoughts, so I was just a man without desires in front of him. I knew that he had never particularly liked me, and of course I didn’t want to be in front of him.
There is too much flattery in front of me. Mr. Wang is the most respected elder in Jintang. Of course I respect him very much, but it does not mean that I am afraid of him, so I dare to talk freely in front of him. There is always a very exciting feeling in competition.
Exciting things, for example, talking to Mr. Wang at this moment.
But I have to admit that when I talked about what I just said, I also brought some selfishness in your heart. I would like to see how much backlash my reappearance will cause Mr. Wang? More importantly, I am in his heart
Talking about that little yellow croaker in front of me is hinting to him that he still owes me the little yellow croaker.
Although everyone is here now, there are some private things that cannot be discussed honestly and unfairly. Find a time, an opportunity, and a place to settle my damn accounts. I just suddenly thought of that little lousy book. If
When the time comes to let Mr. Wang know that those tattered books are hidden inside, I'll bet a piece of gold that his eyes will definitely widen.
Now when I started to wander wildly, Mr. Wang slowly said: "Is money so important to you? It is even better than the previous glory, right? If you choose between the two, will you give up glory and
Choose money?”
Old man, I dug a lot of holes for no reason. This sensible person can probably understand this sentence, and then chooses money and gives up glory. This seems to be choosing evil.
I glanced at Na Jintang again, but this time he showed no more restraint towards me. He even encouraged me: "The world is so big that saints have not yet become perfect, let alone ordinary people."
We, speak out your thoughts boldly and listen to your heart."
After listening to his words, I was even a little moved in my heart. He always wanted me and Mr. Wang to be harmonious, but most of the time he didn't force me to express my thoughts. He even encouraged me.
I use open-ended methods to see more things. So sometimes I express a lot of things that sound incredible, and he always encourages me with his hearty laughter, and I will promptly correct the childishness and deviations in my expressions.
, but he will follow my deepest thoughts from beginning to end and will not interfere with me too much.
Therefore, when faced with Mr. Wang’s questions, we are not nervous at all. I am not a person who was sold a contract, I am an independent person. Although I have always been a pauper, no one can control myself easily.
Thinking. In this world, we are all equal. If you don't abandon me, the worst is that I will be separated in two rows and work on my own. The world is so big and the world is bright, and we can't survive.
Of course, the premise is that you can earn more money, so why not?
So I decided to follow my heart and decided to answer his words: "I have never experienced the painful experience of starvation, I have never eaten food that has gone bad for 5 days, I have never experienced being surrounded by heavy snow, digging out vegetable roots in the ground and eating them, and I am so hungry.
When I went to snatch food with wolves, the story of being hungry was not easy. Therefore, for people like me who have experienced it, the desire for food is something that you rich and powerful people can only understand. So, if you want to participate
If the martial arts competition is a trophy and a certificate, I heard that I might as well go back to sleep. Who would be willing to fight? That is something only people who have nothing to do will do. Of course, I do not deny that some people really want to fight.
It is a so-called chivalrous feeling to participate, but if you are a poor person, you will definitely get a certificate and silver coins at the same time, which will be a real win-win for two birds with one stone."
I continued to say regardless: "Mr. Wang just said that he would choose one of the two. If I have to choose, then I will definitely choose money without hesitation. That's because I want to survive."
When I say these words, I try to express them in the most joking and carefree way. All the past events have passed, but I cannot deny that they once existed and will affect me now.
