Chapter 118: Brother
It's been two days and nights, Dong Hai's leg is still very painful, looking at the wooden door of a mere firewood room, under the tossing and turning of a genuine first-class master, it hasn't changed at all, he is often in a daze, or looking at Gao Feng's back in a daze, his dry lips opened, and finally he didn't say anything more.
How long has it been? How long has it been since I felt this kind of hunger from the heart, but at that time, even if I was hungry, as long as I drank some water, and looked at Brother Gao, even if he was lying down, he never lost hope.
Now, in addition to the emptiness in his belly, his heart is full of guilt that he can't declare, thinking of some previous practices, thinking of the contradictions between Gangzi and himself, and the shadow of death is no longer so imminent. Some things, even if it is difficult to speak, must be explained clearly before death, because he does not want to leave regrets.
Sun Tianlei's iron palm tickled the door again, and then he began to pant and sat on the ground dejectedly. The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and under the temptation of the days, the strength had long been exhausted, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Gao Feng frowned and squatted on the ground, at a loss.
"High ...... Big brother, I have something to say. After hesitantly calling out three words, as if he had determined his mind, Dong Hai's tone slowly calmed down.
"I know, in fact, ......" Gao Feng looked at the guilt on Dong Hai's face, and just wanted to comfort him, but was interrupted by Dong Hai, who was suddenly excited.
"No, you don't know!" Taking a deep breath and calming down his state of mind, Dong Haifang said slowly.
"Brother Gao, the sudden collapse of the Haitou Gang has indeed brought an extremely valuable opportunity for the development of our brothers' gang, yes, at that time, we became the only gang, but we were not arrogant, and we still relied on a few industries to maintain the livelihood of more and more brothers. But under our glamorous appearance, in the praise of countless displaced people, only we know how embarrassed we were at that time. ”
opened the conversation, and his tone was calm with a trace of memory.
"You always give up your good work to others, as the leader of a gang of nearly a thousand people, but you can take your brothers back and forth in the cold of the dock late at night, for your righteousness, brothers just one word: serve! So we have no regrets. ”
"I'm sorry." Gao Feng sighed.
"No, you've done too much for us, Big Brother Gao, what you don't know is why a huge fortune began to fall on us after a month."
Gao Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of doubt.
"Brother Gao, who helped us when we were most sad and gave our brothers a start?"
"Master Zhang!" Gao Feng said as a matter of course, he is a grateful person, and he always remembers that when he was most embarrassed, it was Lord Changshi Zhang who pulled them.
"Brother Gao, Zhang Lingcheng helped us, with your temperament, you will naturally agree to him some conditions, I am not bad at this, right?" Dong Haikou directly called out Zhang Lingcheng's name, which was disrespectful.
"Yes, I promised him that as long as it is not against his conscience, I will help him do it." Gao Feng frowned, obviously disliking Dong Hai's address to Master Zhang, but he didn't say it.
"And did he get to you later?"
Gao Feng shook his head, a little unsure why Dong Hai asked these questions.
After a pause, Dong Hai still said: "But he looked for me several times and asked me to do something dishonorable. ”
When Gao Feng suddenly heard this, he was shocked, but he didn't know what to say.
"Zhang Lingcheng told me directly, when he helped us, you promised to do things for him, I know that most of this matter is true, but these things are not on the table. Brother Gao, your temperament is well known, when Zhang Lingcheng found me, he asked me a question, if he asked you to do something not very good, how would you choose? I thought about it, but there was only one answer. ”
"Even if you are embarrassed again, I am afraid that you will refuse with good words, and you will not hesitate to give up this gang that you have worked so hard to establish. I don't know if I'm right or not? ”
"Not bad."
"At that time, no matter how hard and tired you were, you were always full of enthusiasm, and I knew that you were for the more and more poor people who came to you, and you hoped that everyone could live a good life." Dong Hai seemed to think of the days at that time, how good it would be if he could stay at that time, endure hardships with Brother Gao, and have fun in hardships together, would he not be able to fall into today's fate? With a wry smile, he shook his head secretly.
"So, what you don't want to do, I'll do it. Besides, Mr. Zhang also gave me a temptation that was not easy to refuse, that is, what we lacked the most at that time - money! ”
"Do you know, Brother Gao, when you are happy and sleepless all night for this money, when you use this money to improve the living conditions of the people, when I see that the people love you and praise you, my brother thinks, even if I fall into hell, it is all worth it." Dong Hai's tone was a little excited, but no one doubted what he said.
Gangzi moved his broken leg and came to Dong Hai and patted him lightly on the back.
Dong Hai...... I ...... "Gao Feng didn't know what to say."
With ninja tears, Dong Hai hurriedly said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, although what I did was not glorious, my brother guarantees that no one has been injured." Most of them annexed industries, bribed officials to deter officials, etc., and all of them were given full monetary compensation. ”
"Where did the money come from?"
"At first, I thought it was Zhang Lingcheng, but later I found out that there was actually a person behind him, a person we didn't know."
"Hmm." Gangzi also nodded. Although it was difficult to speak, he still said: "Seeing that Dong Hai suddenly got better, I inevitably felt a little unfair, and Cao Gongcao appeared at the right time and gave me some proof of Dong Hai's industry." At that time, I was very angry, and in a moment of confusion, I accepted the olive branch thrown by Cao Gongcao, and used the money he gave me to start to win over my own forces. Since then, I have no good impression of Dong Hai. After a pause, as if to organize the language, Gangzi continued:
"Brother Gao, at that time, the Brothers' Gang had just been established, you were working hard for the benefit of the people, working hard every day, I didn't want this kind of thing to spoil your mood, so I made my own opinion, and wanted to help you clear some hidden dangers by my own strength, but I never thought that I fell into Cao Gongcao's trap step by step. Over the years, although he has not hurt anyone's life like Dong Hai, he has always done some unsightly things. Gangzi lowered his head in shame.
Dong Hai and Gangzi glanced at each other with sympathy, and they resonated with their hearts, and the estrangement between them melted away, and they never returned. Dong Hai continued:
"I have never had the idea of splitting the Brothers' Gang, nor have I ever had the idea of hurting Big Brother Gao, but when I found out that all the officials in Guangming Town had already been completely degraded under the manipulation of a black hand, I couldn't help myself."
"Under Zhang Lingcheng's order, I began to use a huge amount of wealth to envelop the heroes of the rivers and lakes, as well as to select those strong homeless people who heard about the prosperity of Guangming Town and defected to it, I didn't understand the reason at first, but presumably Zhang Lingcheng, the old fox, sniffed out a trace of danger, rolled up enough wealth for him to eat and drink for ten lifetimes, and left Guangming Town."
"So, I became suspicious and began to investigate secretly, and found that those young and heroic men were all in General Li's barracks, practicing day and night, and I began to panic."
"But I thought, no matter what, I can't affect Brother Gao, and at this time, the person behind the scenes directly found me and asked me to do things for him. The test he gave me was to split the Brothers. Actually, this is exactly what I want, just to help them station soldiers, once I am investigated, I will never recover, but I can't affect Brother Gao and all my brothers, so I happily broke away from the gang. Brother Gao, it was very painful to see you at that time, I just want to say, in fact, I am the same. ”
"And Gangzi, I have a reason, you used to target me, but as soon as I walked on the front foot, you hit the back heel, so I really have a hatred for you, I think, you are the one who split the Brothers' Gang, do you say it's funny?"
When Dong Hai told his experience, everyone reacted differently, Wei Wuliang sighed, Gangzi was dumbfounded, and said faintly after a while: "Dong Hai, I didn't expect you kid to be the same as me." ”
Seeing that everyone looked at him, Gangzi said ashamedly: "Do you know that Cao Gongcao let me control a few blacksmith shops, what are we secretly building?" Armor, the armor used by the army, has been built more than 10,000 times in a few years. And I also received weapons from neighboring countries. Dong Hai, when you left the Brothers' Gang, I also received Cao Gongcao's order to split the Brothers' Gang. ”
"Actually, I was grateful to you at that time, because I didn't know how to start, but you kid left first, giving me an excuse to feel at ease." Speaking of this, Gangzi became a little depressed.
Wei Wuliang also sighed faintly: "Actually, I was sent by Master Zhang. ”
Gao Feng suddenly asked: "There is one thing I don't understand, since Dong Hai and Gangzi are the same person behind the scenes, why do they have to control Zhang Changshi and Cao Gongcao separately, isn't this a superfluous move?" ”
Dong Hai and Gangzi shook their heads together.
"It should be that the people behind the scenes have a strong desire to control, and there will be a special sense of satisfaction when they see things change according to their own ideas." But it was Wei Wuliang who answered.
"By the way, it's a little strange that this kind of person actually believes in Buddhism."
"Fortunately, he believes in Buddhism, otherwise he has done something irreparable to hurt the heavens and reason, how should our brothers get along. Dong Hai, Gangzi, and everyone, how do you treat me, and how can Gao Feng be repaid? ”
"Brother Gao, don't be like this, I and the fifth child also have something to do with everyone......" Kuroko's black face actually turned red.
"Don't say it, I'll just ask, are we still not brothers?" Gao Feng raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.
The other six people came up and raised their right hands in tears of joy.
Seven hands clasped together, looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
At this moment, I heard a "squeak", and the wooden door of the firewood room was opened.
Through the door, everyone found that a bald figure gradually became clear, with a smile on his face.
