Chapter 97 Only cowardly and crying ghosts have it
I came home and saw a mess in the house:
Ah Wu Jealousy and You Si Ji have successfully suppressed Xiao Ma Liu. Ah Wu Lu has pressed down on Xiao Ma Liu mercilessly, and her fists are crushing him: "It's a good thing you did, ah! You are eating everything inside and outside."
That guy!" You Si Ji helped restrain Xiao Ma Liu's feet; Zhu Tou San, who didn't know why, was Xiao Ma Liu's best friend. He didn't think much about it. He jumped up and pounced on You Si Ji, using his smart and big-butt movements.
In order to subdue him, Yousiji had to let go of his hands and rolled with Zhutousan. He seemed to be good at close physical combat and suddenly hit Yousiji's nose with his forehead, causing Yousiji to bleed from the impact.
His face was full; Xiao Ma Liu took advantage of the situation and flipped over Ah Wu Donkey, and the four of them fought and rolled together...
Niu Ba desperately hit the pot with the lid and shouted for help: "Stop, stop - if you have something to say, say it!"
The frightened Ergouzi cried loudly on the side.
I looked at all this in a haze and yelled: "Climb them all -"
The war stopped with a 'click'.
Ah Wu Lu and You Si Ji, who had just recovered their breath, knelt down and cried loudly, "Mao Da, it's Xiao Ma Liu - he was the one who poisoned me."
Xiao Ma Liu was in extreme pain and fell to his knees, looking at me with uncertain eyes: "It's really not me——"
I kicked him angrily and cursed: "Go away——"
While I was bathing and sleeping, these bastards were looking for any rat poison I might have hidden. Niu Ba checked the pockets of all the clothes in my wardrobe; Zhu Tou San looked through the few things on my dressing table; Ah Wu
Donkey rummaged through the bottles and dishes in the entire kitchen; Xiao Ma Liu even wanted to pry open the cracked floors or walls in my room. They didn't let go of any clues. To them, it was like a confusing game.
The game was like an Easter egg competition to find the New Year’s lottery draw. Finally, I found the rat poison Xiao Ma Liu bought in the secret compartment and secretly replaced it with soil of the same color.
There is no moon tonight, only a crescent-shaped silver light hidden behind a cloud. The air in the dark night looks moist and heavy. The few stars that are not covered by the layer look very distant and cold. This is 7 days after Brother Gui left me.
day.
I had a lot of dreams in my sleep, but I couldn't remember anything when I woke up. I only remember that I always appeared in the orphanage in my dreams. The rancid smell of death filled the orphanage. I was in the woods behind the orphanage.
I ran as hard as I could, cold and hungry, and scared to death of the dangers lurking in the thick fog around me. I wanted to scream but couldn't. I stood next to the cliff, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from the cliff under my feet.
He came to pull my feet and planned to drag me to the bottom of the cliff, but his skeletal hands were stained with blood.
Even in the morning fog, I couldn't see the direction clearly.
I dreamed of many familiar faces again, including turtles, phoenixes, and rats. I saw a pair of dull eyes and a skinny mother-in-law with a gloomier complexion. I also saw a mountain ghost really jumping into the river, which was very deep.
, he really fucking jumped into the water. The way he entered the water showed that he definitely didn't know how to swim. He jumped up and sat down in the water. The water splashed and he was as tall as a person. He couldn't even say anything surprising.
He kept telling me, "I want to protect Cat Jiujiu for the rest of my life."
I dreamed again of the dangerous and unpredictable warehouse that night. The sky was filled with dense orange-red ballistics. Strings of silver bullets passed before my eyes. The shock wave caused by the explosion of large-caliber artillery shells threw people away like a hurricane.
To the sky, Brother Ghost, he shouted, rushing into the flames of death without hesitation...
I woke up in shock and stared blankly out the window, suddenly breaking into a cold sweat.
Sadness invaded like a tide again. I struggled to get up. I wanted to shout loudly. My life was completely over. I didn’t know how to live. I needed Na Mian Tang. He had killed Brother Gui. I needed Brother Gui.
, and Brother Gui has also left me.
I went downstairs and wandered aimlessly in the small courtyard. I came out without any clothes on. I shivered because of the cold. The darkness around me seemed shapeless and endless. I was blindly in the middle of the courtyard without turning on the lights.
It was difficult to distinguish the surrounding environment, as if I was in desolation, dead silence, and unknown chaos. I was lost in the darkness. I looked up in panic, trying to find any trace of light, but the sky was pitch black, and even the distant stars had disappeared.
I want to run away, but where to run? There is darkness everywhere. What if the darkness never ends? What if I never find any target?
For a moment, I really wanted to cry and scream, so that I could wake up all the ponies in the house and ask them to turn on the lights and take me back to my room to sleep. In short, no matter what I did, I was unable to do anything and was lost.
direction, it would be safer to lie alone in bed.
A sense of arrogance suppressed this impulse, and I was actually afraid of the dark. Yes, I was afraid of losing Brother Gui, but I had already lost him. I will never forget this feeling of being an elder brother like a father.
I heard people say that the sky is always darkest before dawn, and I thought to myself, it is not true. I gritted my teeth and cursed myself for being so stupid! Just turn on the light, and the darkness and coldness will be gone.
Stop thinking about it! I warned myself to stop thinking about it quickly, but a weird scream came out of my throat like a suffocation.
In the dark, I still didn't turn on the light.
I struggled to stand in the middle of the courtyard, breathing slowly and trying to control my rapid heartbeat. I told myself that I was a cat, Jiujiu, and I didn’t want to crawl on all fours like a baby or a puppy. I held my head high and straightened my thin shoulders.
, thank God! Fortunately, no one saw the virtue of the poor man who just drowned. I have never been defeated in my life, not even the vicious Mother Superior or famine can touch me, and no one can defeat me.
Nothing can defeat me, unless I resign myself to my fate, and I deserve it. This kind of fear of the dark is something only a coward and a crybaby can have!
My self-deprecation is like a shot in the arm that encourages me: no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never let it happen again. If you go downhill too much, you will always encounter an uphill. If you make your life a mess, it is you who will clean up the aftermath.
I will never lie down and let the rest count.
The book once said that the souls of deceased relatives will wander around and return home after 7 days. The souls will float in the sky. I can’t see them, and they can’t see me. My throat was choked, and I opened my mouth.
Nothing was said.
I slowly raised my head and stared at the sky. I knew that Brother Gui's soul was watching me silently at this time, waiting to say goodbye to me. I raised my left hand with difficulty and just said: "Brother Gui"
, go away, my cat Jiujiu bids you farewell..."
This is the case in Shanghai. Ups and downs are just fleeting experiences. No one is willing to inquire about the past. Things that can be put on the table are business matters. What everyone cares about is current interests.
Huo Zhuoshan has been detained for 7 days, and I have also been detained for 7 days.
After this battle, I don’t know what kind of power Song Da and Na Miantang used to suppress the matter, and the Huo Zhuoshan matter was finally resolved.
Motivated by profit, Lu Xiaoxiang 'agreed' to take a stake in the tobacco and soil business of Sanxin Company. After final negotiation, it was decided that Huo Zhuoshan would pay 100,000 yuan in silver, and Huo Zhuoshan would come to Lu Xiaoxiang to say hello to apologize. Of course, 20% of the tobacco and soil business would be taken.
Dividends go to Lu Xiaoxiang.
One week later.
In order to save Huo Zhuoshan's face, Du Shaoqing hosted a grand banquet for guests at the Six Nations Hotel. Huo Zhuoshan's goalkeeper, Zhang Chenglin, Lu Xiaoxiang, Song Lu, Song Da and other celebrities from all walks of life, old men from the Green Gang, and of course the Mian Tangqi from the Rensheng Gang
Gathering together is called reunion, and it is a real name to appease and stabilize the forces of all parties.
The car drove into the Liuguo Hotel. Star-rated hotels pay great attention to the identity and privacy of guests. The VIP hall exudes a mixture of Eastern and Western cultures. The furniture in the hall is all made of top-grade mahogany. In the dark color, there is bright and soft candlelight.
It illuminated the large wine hall. The candlelight came from four sets of waterfall-shaped crystal candlesticks, as well as from the tall branch-shaped silver candlesticks with multiple sockets on the long table beside the door and several large silver bowls filled with sweetened drinks with round rims.
The curved golden light is reflected, and everything is full of unique taste. A large blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty on the ground is actually filled with red roses, a combination of heavy colors and elegance. The people who open the door are all young women in their seventeenth year, all wearing red roses.
Wearing a cheongsam dress, short hair and floppy ears, she stands with a smile on her face.
In the hall, the band played the first movement of "The Blue Danube". Along with the beautiful music, Saint-Cicily's cocktails exuded a strong flavor of high-end champagne and brandy. Everyone raised their glasses of Swiss wine in a graceful manner, and they were in a harmonious and prosperous atmosphere.
scene.
Na Miantang attended the event dressed up. There were many acquaintances at the reception, and they greeted each other naturally, as if the thrilling kidnapping incident a week ago was just a wave on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, disappearing into thin air.
The banquet was filled with dendrobium cups and the atmosphere was lively.
At this time, someone was waiting for advice. Na Miantang turned around and saw the French consul in a tuxedo and a big bow tie raising a glass from a distance. Na Miantang stepped forward and said, "hi"
I saw Zhang Chenglin standing next to John! Na Miantang was unexpected, his expression changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Who was at fault for the unclear and unclear grievances in the world a few days ago, and how to settle the accounts?
John's expression was serious and he smiled arrogantly. He was sure that the Chinese would not dare to cause trouble here. He put his arm around Na Miantang's shoulders and went straight to the point: "Sir, I know that Shanghai is not very peaceful recently. You know that. We in Great Britain understand you very well.
There are disputes between Chinese people, but in my territory, everything will be based on your Chinese saying - peace is the most precious, OK!"
The field is full of old vixens.
John raised his glasses to Miantang and Zhang Chenglin respectively, and said proudly: "For my sake, let's prosper the concession together, and harmony will bring wealth!"
Du Shaoqing, Huo Zhuoshan and many others looked at this side with vague eyes. Na Miantang smiled cynically and also welcomed him with arms.
There was a soft sound, and the three wine glasses collided together, and the red wine liquid rippled in his arms.
Na Miantang's eyes collided with Zhang Chenglin's, and the atmosphere was instantly as cold as ice.
