Slowly put down the phone, in the office of an old toy factory on the outskirts of Longdu, Hou Zhenbang's face was full of solemnity at this time, one by one, constantly smoking.

In less than half an hour, the ashtray in front of him was already full, and there was no room for it.

Hou Zhenbang's family was not rich when he was a child, and in that poor era, Hou Zhenbang was really hungry as a child, his father was seriously ill, and his mother could only take him to beg on the street at the age of five or six.

The cold weather in the winter and the torrential rain in the summer, the wandering life cast a huge shadow on his psyche, and until now, all his offices are cramped and dimly lit.

It seems that only by keeping the surrounding walls close to him can he feel a little bit of security in his heart.

"Shhh...... Whew......"

After a long time, as if all the strength of his body had been drained, Hou Zhenbang leaned back on his seat fiercely, rubbing his big bald head vigorously with both hands.

"Dangdang~"

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the office door.

"Enter~"

With a command, Jin Bo cautiously pushed open the door to his office.

"Brother Hou, are you looking for me?"

"Well, sit~"

With a casual command, Hou Zhenbang still leaned on the huge boss's chair, his eyes closed, and his thumb and index finger squeezed the bridge of his nose fiercely.

"Is the water closed down there?"

"Well, according to your orders, I didn't beat or scold, and I took care of three meals a day. ”

Jin Bo replied cautiously.

I don't know why, Jin Bo faintly feels that his eldest brother has changed a lot recently, at least this Zhang Huaishui, not much, just five years ago, his eldest brother Hou had already chopped him up and thrown him into the river to feed the fish.

"Hmm...... That's good. ”

Hou Zhenbang threw out a sentence noncommittally, and the whole person didn't know why, but it gave people a feeling of powerlessness.

"Bozi, you and Xiaoshui have been following my brothers since the very beginning, counting it, this is also twenty years younger, right?"

For some reason, Hou Zhenbang actually talked about the events of that year, which made Jin Bo stunned.

"Ah...... Ah, almost, in seventy-nine years, I unloaded Xiao Changbao's arm, and our brothers ran from the village to Longdu, at that time, Nancheng was still a wasteland, Zhang Huaishui's family opened a scrap acquisition station, and we worked in his family's dilapidated yard, so it would take twenty-one years~"

Jin Bo's eyes widened, as if trying to remember.

"Whew...... Yes, seventy-nine years, you were only fifteen years old that year, I was twenty-two, it was the time when the blood was strong, Xiaoshui was smaller than us, when we went, he was still a little kid~"

As he spoke, as if looking into the void distance, Hou Zhenbang's eyes showed a trace of amazement.

"It's been more than 20 years...... At the beginning, the black dog camp of Liu Heigou in the south of the city, Jing Te bullied these small shops around, once came to rob us of the rags, that day we went out of the car to collect the rags and were not at home, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang let them beat them to bleed, and when we came back, the old couple was no longer saved......"

Speaking of this, Hou Zhenbang's voice was indescribably embarrassed.

"yes~"

Being taken by the eldest brother like this, Jin Bo's fierce face rarely showed a trace of tenderness of memory.

"Since then, we have led Xiaoshui to dry the ragged field, I remember that later Liu Heigou led more than 20 people to smash the field, Brother Hou, you stopped our brothers at that time, and did not let us go up to do anything with them, until the next night, led us to block Liu Heigou in his dog camp.

I remember that at that time, Brother Hou, you forced Xiaoshui, and let him chop off three fingers of Liu Heigou with his own hands, saying that our buddies will live in this cannibalistic world by themselves in the future, and if you don't eat people, you will have to be eaten.

Since then, we have dug out several of their nests, until the Black Dog Camp is dispersed, and many second-rate people from the Black Dog Camp have taken refuge in our field, and we have become a little bit of a climate, and no one dares to bully us anymore......"

Speaking of which, unconsciously, the anger around Jin Bo has dissipated a lot, and even the title of Zhang Huaishui has subconsciously changed back to the former "Xiaoshui".

Twenty-one years, in a hurry, they only buried their heads in the fight, and they couldn't remember when the relationship between people was reduced to the field where it is now.

"Alas, Bozi, sometimes I also think, back then, our buddies had a small family business and were poor, but they lived a simple and happy life, if anyone bullied us, we would go back, life was worthless, and we were willing to fight.

But now, the family business is bigger, the people's hearts are also complicated, and the level of contact is higher, what Jiang Zhongyue, what Lin Qing...... One by one, they are all like human spirits, but our buddies can't eat the same set back then.

Look at the present, I want to run behind our ass at the beginning, but now it makes people unpopular, even you, Bozi, are respectful when you see me......

But we made such a big fuss, we didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but we didn't have that joy, what is this picture......"

"Forehead ......"

Hou Zhenbang suddenly said this, Jin Bo subconsciously couldn't help grinning, and he didn't know how to pick it up for a while.

"Hehe, Bozi, don't care, I'm just a little messy in my heart, just a few words of nonsense......"

also saw that Jin Bo was a little stupid, Hou Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh lightly, and subconsciously shook his head with a wry smile.

"Hou, Brother Hou......"

But this time, Jin Bo's big nose tightened, but he subconsciously felt a little sour.

"I don't understand any big truths, but I feel that this person still has to live happily, Brother Hou, we have a big family business now, and I have also watched it, many things are not as simple as they were at the beginning.

But I feel that this is not the case these days, we were poor at the beginning, what to make money, what to do when it is big, then now that we have money, we don't have to worry about food and clothing, if we are tired, we will not do it.

If you are willing, then our brothers will still be like before, go back to our small mountain villa to build a few big houses, find a wife and have a baby, I heard that our master and old man are still tough, let's go back to drink and eat watermelon with the old man every day, aren't we also happy?"

Jin Bo's temperament is straight, and when he has a thought in his heart, he throws it out of his mouth directly.

But hearing his words, Hou Zhenbang suddenly shook his head again and smiled bitterly:

"Hehe, how can it be so easy, now our buddies have been involved in too many interests, not only can't they retreat, even if they want to enter, I'm afraid they have to be carried forward......"

I don't know what he was referring to, but suddenly, when this sentence came out, Hou Zhenbang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a burst of evil qi that had not appeared for a long time suddenly erupted.

"Well, now that we have been forced to this point, then who lives and who dies depends on whose ability is more sufficient!

Bozi, let's go, let's go find Xiaoshui, no matter what, this last step, let's go forward together, as long as we survive this time, let's go back to the small mountain villa and accompany the master and the old man to eat melons!"
