Chapter 135: Watch Dog
On the first day of the winter vacation, Chen Zimo, who got Mu Zhongqiu's promise, naturally no longer needs to be afraid of the revenge of Qimen Jianghu and the Oriental Onmyoji and ninjas. So this morning, he proposed to his father that he wanted to go back to the village during www.biquge.info the winter vacation, on the grounds that it was quiet and suitable for studying.
He thought that his father would not agree for safety reasons, and tried his best to discourage it.
Unexpectedly, my father happily agreed: "Cheng, it's okay to live in the village, but you have to wait for two more days, I asked people to install a boiler at home as soon as possible, lay heating pipes and radiators, such a cold day, no heating." β
This surprised Chen Zimo.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Chen Jin and Bai Qilin looked at each other and smiled-although it is said that Qimen Jianghu is a relatively closed circle, since it exists in this society, and the warlocks who make up Qimen Jianghu are also people, it is impossible to be completely xenophobic, on the contrary, they will also take the initiative to contact the outside world, for example, they also need to eat and ...... Fame!
Therefore, when Yanyun gambling king Chen Jin began to pay attention to this river and lake and arranged for someone to investigate, he quickly learned about many people and things on the Qimen rivers and lakes. Then Bai Qilin, a martial arts master, came forward and took the initiative to make friends with some forces on the Qimen rivers and lakes, even if he was a warlock with spells, some masters of sects and spell families, he would not stand up in front of Bai Qilin, and was willing to make friends with this person who had no malice and extraordinary strength.
The rivers and lakes are like this, although disputes are inevitable, but one more friend and one more road, and the sedan chair carries people.
Bai Qilin learned that Xu Lin was a warlock who was expelled from the division.
And a warlock who has been expelled from the division has become a rat-like existence on the street in the Qimen rivers and lakes, although it is not so much that everyone shouts and beats, but it is also a pitiful worm who is despised by others, and anyone can bully or punish.
The reason why Xu Lin was expelled from the division was to collude with the Orientals and do evil in China......
This undoubtedly aroused the anger of this Qimen Jianghu, and intentionally or unintentionally, the people of Qimen Jianghu throughout China began to take precautions and be wary of the Onmyoji and ninjas of the East. But at present, the news of Xu Lin's death has not been spread on the rivers and lakes, and few people know that Kawada Goichi, the beloved disciple of Matsumoto Aogen, the top onmyoji of the East, and two ninja dead soldiers all died in Huaxia.
In this way, all of them should be killed, and there is basically no risk in killing, Chen Jin and Bai Qilin naturally don't have to worry too much.
Three days later.
In the morning, Jiang Peng drove Chen Jin, Bai Qilin, and Chen Ziman from the company to the courtyard in the village, and then went back to the city to pick up Chen Zimo.
Since the last time he saw Chen Ziman lying unconscious on the hospital bed in the hospital, Chen Zimo has never seen this godbrother. Because he usually lives on campus, when he comes home on weekends, Chen Ziman also lives in the company, and Chen Zimo rejects his father's business in his heart, even if it is ...... Chen Jin has repeatedly stressed that he is doing legitimate and legal business. Therefore, he had never been to his father's company, and after the conversation with Mu Zhongqiu that night, he became more and more aware that what his father did may not be right or wrong, but it is definitely not legal.
In Bai Qilin's words, that is, "breaking the law is not the same as committing a crime, let alone making a mistake." And to commit a crime, then it is bound to break the law, and it is also a mistake. β
If Chen Jin said this, Chen Zimo would inevitably think that this was nonsense and crookedness!
But from Bai Qilin's mouth, although Chen Zimo couldn't accept it, he didn't refute it, and at the same time, he faintly felt that it seemed to make some sense.
The inside and outside of the courtyard have been cleaned up.
While walking inside, Chen Zimo couldn't help but ask, "When did my father come back to clean the house?" β
"I hired someone to clean up yesterday!" Jiang Peng replied with a smile.
Coming to the round gate leading to the backyard, Jiang Peng handed Chen Zimo his schoolbag and suitcase, and then sneered and stopped going inside--no need for Chen Jin or Bai Qilin to tell him, Jiang Peng was self-aware, and he was not qualified to enter the backyard, and in his heart, he would not have any dissatisfaction with it.
From a distance, Chen Zimo showed a look of surprise.
Because he saw that under the eaves of the porch, on the left side of the main entrance, a young man with a black and thin black jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers, squatting there, with a pair of slender eyes, was looking at him.
Those eyes......
Chen Zimo couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
He thought of the eyes of the wolves he had seen on TV, fierce and fierce; I also thought of the manta Gu made by the spell at the beginning, and in those small round eyes, there was an evil, chilling but lifeless horror.
Chen Ziman tilted his head and thought about it, then slowly got up, the fierceness in his eyes converged, with more warmth and obedience, leaning his waist, looking at Chen Zimo, who walked over with steady steps, after a little hesitation, he said in blunt words: "My brother is so ......."
Chen Zimo sounded a little awkward, but he heard his father mention that Chen Ziman was not good at speaking Chinese and was studying, so he still showed a polite smile, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ziman's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Brother Man, hello, I saw you once in the hospital, and you fell asleep at that time and didn't see me." β
"I've seen you take pictures, photos." Chen Ziman's speech was a little stumbling.
"Brother Man." Chen Zimo had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't care, and while grabbing Chen Ziman's thin but hard arm like an iron bar, he said, "Why don't you go into the house?" It's weird cold outside, go, talk in the house......"
Chen Ziman gently broke away, lowered his head and said, "I, outside, watch the door." β
"Look...... Door? Chen Zimo was dumbfoundedβwhat is this called?
Inside the house, the voice of his father Chen Jin came: "Zimo, your brother likes to stay outside, you can come in first." β
"Oh." Chen Zimo entered the house more and more confused.
In the living room, my father and Bai Qilin sat at the coffee table, drinking tea with a calm expression, and seeing Chen Zimo walking in with a puzzled face, Chen Jin said with a smile: "After a while, with your uncle and your brother, paste the Spring Festival couplets." β
"Hmm." Chen Zimo walked over and sat down, frowned, and said, "This godbrother, is ...... What's wrong? β
"No, that's it." Chen Jin took the teacup and tasted tea leisurely, while saying: "He is very smart, even smarter than you, it has only been more than half a year, and the ability to have basic dialogue has been obtained, and he can understand most words." In the future, except at school, when you are away or at home, let him follow you. β
"Follow me?" Chen Zimo was stunned.
"Don't bother, he won't bother you with anything." Bai Qilin interjected with a smile: "On the contrary, in case of some unexpected situations, he can protect you." Of course, you can use him as an entourage, bodyguard, or even a ......"
I didn't go on.
Bai Qilin looked slightly embarrassed, and looked at Chen Jin apologetically.
Chen Jin put down the teacup with a smile, and with a completely unconcerned expression, he took it and said something that Bai Qilin could not appeal: "A very loyal watchdog." β
Chen Zimo immediately showed a trace of anger on his face.
He couldn't accept that a person could be so justified and calm, treating another person as a watchdog, and moreover, he was his own father, and he was already his most beloved Uncle Bai. The person they discriminated against was Chen Ziman, who had killed two ninjas with his bare hands and was seriously injured in order to save Chen Jin, who was his father's righteous son and his godbrother Chen Zimo!
Isn't it indirectly scolding himself to say that he is a watchdog?
"Angry?" Chen Jin seemed to know what his son was thinking, he motioned for Chen Zimo to sit down and drink tea, and said: "You godbrother, you are different from ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you treat him as a cat or a dog, you can even beat him and scold him wantonly." Of course, you can also treat him with sincerity and kindness...... For example, you and Uncle Bai are very good to him, and I believe that you will also be very good to him. Just now, Uncle Bai and I just made an analogy, and by the way, I also remind you not to treat him with the eyes and ways of looking at and treating normal people. β
"Why?" Chen Zimo's face was puzzled, and he became more and more annoyed, he never thought that his father and Uncle Bai would be such cold-blooded and cruel people.
Chen Jin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Go ahead, paste the Spring Festival couplets, and let Uncle Bai tell you about it by the way." β
"Zimo, sit down, let your father explain to you, I ......will go with Ziman to stick the Spring Festival couplets" Bai Qilin got up and walked out with a smile, throwing down a sentence: "Brother Jin, don't push everything on me in the future, ah!" β
Chen Jin couldn't laugh or cry.
Chen Zimo frowned and looked at his father and said, "What's the matter?" β
"It's very simple, when I adopted Chen Ziman, I actually wanted to raise a loyal and fierce watchdog. Nowadays, people, even if they have a real puppy, can be treated as children, right? What's more, Chen Ziman is a person. Chen Jin lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "I met him outside southern Xinjiang, that is, in another country, when he was about to be executed, and I bought him like a dog, thus saving his life." Well, in the future, if I have the opportunity, I will take you to those small countries, so that you can see with your own eyes what a terrible and dark world this seemingly beautiful world is under the surface. β
Chen Zimo looked at his father with a puzzled face.
"According to Chen Ziman's living environment and growth experience since he was a child, he is not a human at all, but a beast in captivity, a beast that has to fight for food all the time, it is not an exaggeration, not only him, but many, young children, are really kept in captivity, if they want to eat more food and drink water, they must rob it, and even kill their own kind!" When Chen Jin said this, he seemed to recall something incredible, and he was even more sad and reluctant to recall the scene, and said: "You should have heard of the common saying in the countryside here 'nine dogs out of a mastiff, nine pigeons out of a harrier', you know what it means, right?" β
