Chapter 152: Strange People and Strange Things
Pulling on his wet clothes, Lin Zixian looked at this cheeky guy, eager to throw him into the lotus pond, and sneered: "I'm afraid you have misunderstood my intention." ”
The subtext of the words is that I'm not here to join the gang.
"I understand your intention, isn't it just for that famous flower group?" Old Man Qi leaned back and smiled with his hands behind his back, as if he was pleasing to the eyes of Lin Zi wherever he was idle, and suddenly a wisp of evil spirit flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already retired, and I generally don't interfere in outside affairs, but if I can recruit a useful talent for the country, what if I offend that group of parasites?" As long as you join our army, you will be your own people, and it is justified for me to clean up those bunnies, how about it? Lad, think about it. ”
Minister Wu and Secretary Su both looked at Lin Zixian, and they both knew what Old Man Qi meant by this. As soon as Lin Zixian joins the military, the old man will take action to clean up those guys, because he has long seen that the messy guys are not pleasing to the eye.
However, if he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, there are some things that the old man himself needs to set an example, so he can only intervene secretly, and it is not good to act openly.
As the old man himself said, he has retired, no matter how high his prestige is, it is not good to meddle in outside affairs openly, this is a matter of the overall situation, and a good excuse is indeed needed ().
The three of them vaguely understood why the old man was making trouble unreasonably just now, and instigated a group of masters to besiege Lin Zixian.
Lin Zixian defeated fifteen masters by himself, which means that Julius Caesar, who is famous in the underground world, does have real skills, and it is worth paying the price of the military to recruit, not who the old man is crooked in his heart.
Presumably, the news of the group of masters besieging Lin Zixian and being injured will soon reach the ears of some people, paving the way for the old man to make a move.
Zhang Zhenxing's vision and today's level. It is destined that he does not have such political sensitivity. Lin Zixian would not even think about this.
But Minister Wu and Secretary Su were secretly in their hearts. deeply admired the political skills of the old man Qi, and understood that if the old man Qi was just a brave and unscrupulous general, he was afraid that he would not be able to have today's status, and the means of turning the clouds and rain were only in a moment, Jiang was really still old and spicy.
Lin Zixian didn't think about it so much, and without saying a word, he took out the plastic paper from Kuzi's pocket, took out the gray cloth IOU, and handed it out. said lightly: "I was entrusted by someone to send you something." ”
Secretary Su and the three looked at each other, not understanding what it meant.
Old Man Qi was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of doubts, thinking, did he guess the wrong meaning of this kid?
Stretched out his hand to take the gray cloth and unfolded it, just after taking a look, he suddenly trembled, his eyes opened suddenly, and the hands holding the gray cloth trembled a little.
"IOUs. Today, I borrowed 100 pieces of gold from Lynn Gong. One hundred bags of white flour, until the day of the success of the revolution, will be repaid twice. In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, Qi Yunfeng. Borrow. ”
"IOUs. Today, I borrowed 100 gold sticks and 100 bags of white flour from Lin Engong, and repaid them twice as much on the day of the success of the revolution. In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, Qi Yunfeng, borrowed. ”
Old Man Qi muttered twice in a row (). In an instant, his thoughts returned to the war-torn years, his eyes gradually became ruddy, and finally he held the gray cloth and burst into tears, choking up and crying.
No one expected the situation to become like this in a blink of an eye, only to see Old Man Qi standing there, actually swaying and falling, a little unstable.
Secretary Su and Minister Wu were taken aback. Quickly went over and helped him.
The two took the opportunity to look at the content on the gray cloth, and they were also moved, they naturally knew who 'Qi Yunfeng' was, this was the IOU left by the old man in the 25th year of the Republic of China, that is to say, this is an IOU from 70 years ago, and you can see between the lines how difficult it was for the old man to do it back then.
Lin Zixian saw that the old guy was suddenly like this, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.
Secretary Su and Minister Wu helped Old Man Qi sit on the bamboo chair, and the old man reached out and handed the gray cloth to Secretary Su, "Take a look, take a good look." ”
Secretary Su took the IOU, he had actually seen it, and said in a slight mutter: "Chief, is this really the IOU you set up?" ”
"It's been more than seventy years, it's been more than seventy years!" Old Man Qi made a 'seven' gesture with his hand to the left and right, and choked up with a sad face: "I thought I would never see each other again...... The old fellows who crawled together from the war took my hand before they died and said, "Big brother! 100 bags of life-saving food! Without those 100 bags of white noodles, we wouldn't be alive today! We don't have a chance to repay people's great kindness again, big brother! You have to live well, live longer, find someone, and help the brothers repay this ......"
When Old Man Qi said this, he covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly, crying so heartbreaking that his shoulders trembled.
Minister Wu and Secretary Su glanced at each other, both silent, not knowing what to say, and then looked at Lin Zixian together, not knowing where he got this IOU.
Lin Zixian saw that an IOU had cleaned up the old guy like this, and he had completely lost his temper, and the anger just now was completely gone. At the same time, I was a little depressed, it was not worth it to fight hard by myself, and an IOU from the old man was shaken out, which was more effective than fighting ten times by myself, so how could I say it.
Secretary Su quickly ran to the house and took a white towel and sent it to the old man to wipe his tears, feeling that it was not a way for the old man to cry like this, it would hurt his body, so he squatted down and took the opportunity to change the topic and asked, "Chief, what is going on?" ”
Old Man Qi wiped away his old tears, covered his face with a towel, looked up to the sky and sighed, pulled down the towel and closed his eyes and shook his head: "Back then, the shape was forced, the enemy was strong and I was weak, and the troops carried out a strategic shift. Once, in order to cover the transfer of the large army, I led a group of brothers to break the rear, and after a fierce battle, I lost contact with the large army. By the time we reached Sichuan Province, we had run out of ammunition and food, starved and cold, and unfortunately strayed into the territory of the largest bandit in the region, who had been absorbed by the enemy army, and forced us into a ravine, piled up firewood and set fire to it, ready to burn us alive. ”
Secretary Su took a breath and said, "How did you break through, chief?" ”
Old Man Qi smiled bitterly: "It's also our fate that shouldn't be killed, there happened to be a strange person collecting medicine in this canyon, and we were burdened by it, and we also fell into danger together." When I saw that he was from the rivers and lakes, I reported my name in the rivers and lakes back then, and the strange man immediately had a good impression of us, and immediately warned the group of bandits and let them go, but the group of bandits did not listen, and still laughed there, which immediately provoked the anger of the strange people. It is precisely because of that that that we have seen what it means to be a strange person in the rivers and lakes. ”
"It was the strange man who came to the rescue of you, chief?" Secretary Su asked curiously.
Old Man Qi nodded, and said with a yearning expression: "The cliff is more than thirty meters high, and the strange man kicked the steep mountain wall like walking on the ground, soaring up, killing the bandits on both sides of the cliff to the point of crying wolf, fleeing for his life, and also relieving the siege for us." Because the bandits' previous words were too inferior, they had already touched the scales of the strange man, and the strange man was so angry that he wanted to kill them all, so he led us to chase and kill all the way. ”
Lin Zi on the side was speechless, although Lin Bao didn't tell him about this past, but he had already heard it from Old Man Qi's words, who else could that person be besides Lin Bao, but he didn't expect that the old man who was eating tofu in the poor countryside would have such an impulsive time ().
"We chased all the way to a lake, and found that the bandits' lair was on an island in the middle of the lake, and they had fled back to the island by boat. I thought there was no boat to chase, and there was no way to take that group of bandits, but who knew that the strange man picked up a bunch of dead branches with a murderous face, quickly bounced up, volleyed to the surface of the lake, and threw a dead branch when he fell into the water, raised his foot and lightly touched the dead branches on the lake, and flew up again. Old Man Qi said with a look of fascination.
Secretary Su and Minister Wu took a breath at the same time, and Minister Wu, who had never been very silent, even lost his voice: "Is there really such a magical kung fu in the world?" ”
Even Lin Zixian was shocked when he heard this, because he had never seen Lin Bao show such skills.
He knew that Lin Bao's martial arts were very high, and when he practiced martial arts, Lin Bao said that there were no tricks to win, so he caught him every day and made him feel like he was reacting to the moves, but every time he was beaten by Lin Bao and couldn't get up on the ground.
But he never dreamed that Lin Bao had already reached the realm of transformation with his light skills more than 70 years ago, which was already the realm of stepping across the water in light skills, but the realm of feedback from the inside out after the internal strength reached a certain level, and Lin Zixian thought that he was far from reaching that realm.
Thinking of this, Lin Zixian couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder before leaving last time, the old man boasted that he was the one with the highest talent and qualification in martial arts among the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in the past ten generations, and it was really possible that his feelings were not bragging. No wonder the old man's internal cultivation has reached the point of rejuvenation, and his feelings have this strength.
"Who's to say it isn't! We were all stunned, and we even forgot about fatigue and hunger and cold, and that scene is still unforgettable in my mind. Before that, I didn't believe that there was such a magical kung fu in the rivers and lakes, and after seeing the strange people perform, I believe that the legend of the Dharma Patriarch 'crossing the river with a reed' should be true. At least what I witnessed with my own eyes can't be faked. Old man Qi said with deep emotion.
"Chief, what about later?" Secretary Su asked with some unfinished thoughts.
