Chapter 17: Murderous Intent Rises
Out of the tent, the carnival around the bonfire continued.
It shouldn't be late at night, and no one is drunk around the campfire.
The people who were reveling saw Zhang Wei walking out of the tent with Qingming, and they all fell silent.
Because no one knew what was going on in the tent, everyone's minds were still in the state that Qingming was a little sheep, so everyone stared at Qingming with fierce eyes.
Zishu Xiaoxiao followed behind Qingming, a pair of big watery eyes scanned everyone around, to the point that he felt like he was confronting each other.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei reacted quickly, smiled at Qingming embarrassedly, and then turned his head and yelled at everyone.
"It's all fucking optimistic, this, this. ”
Zhang Wei wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he didn't know the name of the little brother behind him.
"I'm sorry, little brother, I haven't learned your name yet?"
Zhang Wei scratched his head with a smile and asked Qingming.
"Oh, my name is Qingming. ”
Qingming smiled slightly.
"Yes, you listened, our leader has ordered, in the future, you will treat this Qingming little brother as if you were our leader himself, respect, love, and obey, do you understand?"
Zhang Wei turned his head and yelled at everyone again.
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he did not usher in the imaginary applause and applause.
Almost all of them looked at each other with wide eyes, and some of them had not yet recovered from the momentary ups and downs of their emotions.
The scene was in awkwardness for a while.
"Hey, you bastards, squeak at me. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Wei suddenly became angry, and pointed at everyone and scolded.
"No, viagra, what the hell is going on, at least you have to explain it to us. ”
One of them raised his hand and asked.
"Do you need to explain to you the situation, the decision of the higher-ups, you only need to follow, you don't need to explain. ”
Zhang Wei blushed and shouted loudly.
In fact, it's not that Zhang Wei doesn't want to explain, but he doesn't know what happened, but as the first person under the leader, Zhang Wei has to establish his lofty position.
"Why don't I tell me?"
Just after Zhang Weiwei roared, when everyone was still at a loss, Qingming spoke softly.
"Hey, Brother Qingming, they are all big and coarse, what do you explain to them?"
Hearing Qingming's words, Zhang Wei hurriedly turned around and persuaded.
Although he said so, in fact, Zhang Wei also wanted to know what was going on in the tent, but he had already set himself up, and now he would lose his prestige if he changed his attitude.
However, Zhang Wei is not worried that he can persuade Qingming, he knows the group of people under him too well, he can persuade him casually, anyway, someone will always give him a cover.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, someone in the crowd raised their hands and shouted.
"Brother Qingming, let's talk about it, it should be to satisfy our curiosity. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Everyone hurriedly echoed in unison.
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. ”
Qingming smiled slightly, and took Zishu's small hand to the bonfire.
Some discerning people hurriedly brought one or two larger stones for Qingming to sit down, and some people hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Qingming and handed it over.
As soon as Qingming sat down, everyone hula suddenly surrounded him, and Zhang Wei was also in the front position.
"As for me, I have just discussed with your leader in the tent, and in order to thank you for saving my life, I have decided to find you a stable and profitable job. ”
Qingming took a sip of wine and said slowly.
"What kind of work?"
One of them asked eagerly.
Zhang Wei glanced at the man and motioned for him not to interject.
"It's in Chenghuang Street, and someone will assign you specific positions when the time comes. ”
Qingming opened his mouth to explain.
"Chenghuang Street, what kind of place is that, it sounds like it's in the city. ”
Someone in the crowd asked another question.
Although Zhang Wei wanted to stop it, this question happened to be asked in his heart, so this time he didn't stop it.
"I think it's good now, but when I really get to the city, it's this and that rule, and it's annoying to the individual, it's better to be free now, and do whatever you want. ”
The other followed.
Qingming was slightly stunned when he heard what the man said, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.
This is a young man who is not very old, and it seems that he should not be much older than Qingming.
People at this age are very yearning for adventure and freedom, and rarely choose a stable life, unlike some older people who want to return to peace after experiencing various realities.
"Do you think this life is good now?"
Qingming raised his own questions.
Qingming wants to convince people in this group who think the same way as him, and this person is a good breakthrough.
"Of course, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and hurry up when you have work, except that sometimes we will encounter demon attacks, but there are many of us, and the leader knows some tactics, so I am not afraid of them at all. ”
The young man grinned.
"Then buying and selling orphans like you, aren't you afraid that one day you will be discovered by Dragon City, and you can only live a life of outlaw from now on?"
Qingming asked again.
The first thought of a person is the most difficult to change, and others cannot force it to change, and only give up when he himself realizes his mistake.
Qingming is planning to make him wonder about his thoughts, and then take the opportunity to convince him.
"How is it possible, these children are orphans, and few people pay attention to their whereabouts. ”
The young man waved his hand and said.
"But Dragon City has not had a large-scale war with the demon clan for more than fifty years, and now there are probably not many orphans in Dragon City, how many opportunities are there to buy and sell dozens of orphans at a time like you?"
Qingming smiled noncommittally.
"Hey, you don't understand this, there are no orphans, so don't you just make orphans. ”
This time it was a different person, a young man in his early twenties.
"Ah Hua, you bastard, don't talk nonsense. ”
Without waiting for the young man to speak again, Zhang Wei directly interrupted him with a gloomy face.
But even so, Qingming still sensed something from the words of the young man who spoke, and the gloomy expression swept across Qingming's face.
"Don't worry, you saved my life, I won't betray you, and as for the work I have negotiated with your leader, it's up to you to choose whether to go or not. ”
Qingming smiled slightly, opened his mouth and said, as soon as he finished speaking, Qingming remembered something again, and added again.
"Oh, by the way, if any of you still like your job, tell me about it, and I'll see if there's any other way to repay you. ”
After Qingming said this, no one around him dared to speak out, and they all looked at Zhang Wei who was sitting next to Qingming.
It can be seen that Zhang Wei's prestige among this group of people is still very high.
"Hey, Brother Qingming, you don't have to be so polite, we people are doing small business, and we don't need your help. ”
Zhang Wei smiled at Qingming and said slowly.
Zhang Wei is a person with ideas, after Qingming finished talking about the decision he discussed with You Yu, Zhang Wei came up with his own idea, he wanted to take You Yu's position, so he didn't want Qingming to know too much.
As for You Yu's trust in Qingming, that is You Yu's business, anyway, Zhang Wei doesn't trust Qingming very much.
"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't force it, come, drink. ”
Qingming smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted.
"Cheers. ”
Everyone also raised their glasses high, collided with each other, and then raised their heads to drink the wine in the glass.
"Hey, little sister, would you like to have some of it? ”
The young man named Ah Hua saw that Zishu Xiaoxiao next to Qingming had been sitting quietly by the bonfire and didn't speak, and he immediately teased her.
Seeing this, Qingming didn't stop it, he always felt that Zishu was a little withdrawn, and someone joked with her that talking was a good thing.
Of course, even if Zishu Xiaoxiao unified Qingming, she would not be allowed to drink, after all, Zishu Xiaoxiao is still a child.
"I don't drink and I don't like to drink. ”
Zishu shook his head and said.
"Why, listening to you, have you ever drunk it?"
Ah Hua continued to tease Zishu Xiaodao.
"I didn't drink it, but my dad loved to drink, and at first I thought it was a good thing, but then I didn't, after my dad threw my brother to death in front of me. ”
Zishu said with a small expressionless face.
After hearing Zishu's words, Qingming was about to drink, and everyone else was stunned for a moment.
"Heh, let's kill a bad guy in this way, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”
One of them laughed, and as soon as he finished speaking, the others followed suit.
"Come on, you, you still kill people with your small body, and it's lucky that you won't be killed by others. ”
Qingming laughed and punched the speaker in the chest.
"What's wrong with my body. ”
The person who spoke shouted unconvinced, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the iron cage on the surrounding ox cart, and said proudly.
"Oh, yes, these are not all, we kill less, and the second is ....... ”
Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Zhang Wei stood up and kicked him directly to the ground.
"Dog offal, what the fuck are you talking about. ”
Zhang Wei angrily pointed at the man and scolded, so frightened that the others quickly distanced themselves from the man.
No one saw it, and in Qingming's eyes, a trace of pure killing intent flashed.
"Okay, okay, isn't it common to talk nonsense after drinking, Zhang Wei, don't worry about it, who doesn't brag when you drink a little wine. ”
One of the people in the crowd walked out quickly, quickly grabbed Zhang Wei, who was about to do it, and persuaded him again and again.
Being pulled like this, Zhang Wei glanced at Qingming imperceptibly, and after seeing that Qingming was still smiling and there was no abnormality, Zhang Wei relieved himself.
Seeing that Zhang Wei's expression softened, the man quickly got up from the ground and didn't dare to speak anymore.
After such a fuss, the scene suddenly seemed a little awkward, and no one dared to speak, and only the crackling sound of burning wood was quiet around.
"Do you like to listen to music?"
Qingming glanced around, and suddenly said with a smile.
"I'll hum you a song. ”
