Ji Rongke had no place to put the sisters and brothers he picked up halfway, so he wanted to give a little money to send them away and let them fend for themselves, because Mo said that the whole of North China is a small thirteenth street, and such poor children and old people abound, and he can't help them.

But as soon as he came up with the idea of discarding, he saw the thin and pale little boy sleeping in the arms of the bodyguard, his little hand grabbed the collar of the bodyguard, for fear of being thrown out halfway, their home could not go back, and the harassment and plundering at both ends for three days had left a huge shadow on the hearts of these two sisters and brothers, especially this girl, if she was bullied by bad people, Ji Rongke would not become a wicked person who would not be saved when she saw death, what is the difference between her and those who are indiscriminate.

He had rescued her from Hell and sent her back to Hell again.

Ji Rongke stared out the window, he thought silently for a long time, and finally decided to take them back to Fulong Mountain, there are many empty rooms in the house, and he can always squeeze out a small one for them to settle down, at least they will have food and drink, so as not to be bullied, and live one day at a time.

But Ji Rongke didn't expect that the Meng Hehuan sisters and brothers had only stayed for the third day, and Uncle Jiu, who had always ignored and paid no attention to these trivial matters, suddenly learned about it, and he did not turn a deaf ear, but asked his subordinates to invite Ji Rongke to interrogate.

Ji Rongke was taken to the meditation hall by that subordinate, and the subordinate paused and bowed to him, "Hall Master Zuo, please come in." ”

After he finished speaking, he retreated, Ji Rongke looked up at the plaque hanging outside the door, Cangji Hall.

Uncle Nine made offerings to one hundred and eight Arhats in Cangji Hall, and came over to put on a few pillars of incense at two ends in three days, find a place to sit down in the meditation hall, read the Diamond Sutra, and twist a twist of Buddha beads. Uncle Nine doesn't believe in anything, just believes in himself, even the two hall masters he values the most, in fact, he has not won ten percent of his trust, at most five or six percent, he has been mixed for half his life, he has seen everything, how deep feelings people fight for the slightest profit, what feelings are worth believing unconditionally. It's just a temporary use, and a willing one.

When Ji Rongke pushed the door and entered the meditation hall, Uncle Nine was sitting on the yellow futon, looking at the Diamond Sutra in his hand, the wooden fish in front of him was resting, and the hall was eerily quiet.

Ji Rongke came in the day after being recruited by the Kowloon Society, followed by nearly a hundred old boys, kneeling on the ground and listening to Uncle Jiu's lecture on the door rules, he felt that this place was particularly gloomy, as if there was some hidden prison out of sight, which was full of white bones and blood, and the cold that quietly seeped up from under the ground.

He stepped onto the threshold and slammed the door behind him, and the meditation hall suddenly became dark. The windows on the left and right sides are not embedded with glass, the window frames are pasted with bright paper, and when the wind blows, the salad salad sounds, Ji Rongke shouted Uncle Jiu, and the man sitting on the futon hummed lightly, and did not raise his eyes to look at the door, but licked his fingertips with his tongue, turned the page of the scriptures slowly, and continued to read.

Ji Rongke didn't bother anymore, he stood at the door and waited for about half a pillar of incense, Uncle Nine finally put down the scriptures, he stretched his waist, "Why don't you sit." ”

Ji Rongke nodded and sat cross-legged on another opposite futon, "You have something to do with me." ”

Uncle Nine pulled over the table next to him and put it between the two, there was a pot of dry tea and a small stove on it, boiling hot water was bubbling in it, he picked it up and poured it into the teapot, the tea leaves were brewed, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Uncle Nine was about to pour the brewed tea into the cup, Ji Rongke immediately leaned over and poured it for Uncle Nine personally, Uncle Nine stared at the brown water that continued to roll into the cup, "I heard that you brought back a girl." ”

Ji Rongke's hand was stunned, this is true, but it sounds very awkward, he smiled helplessly, "It's a pair of sisters and brothers, the elder sister is thirteen, the younger brother is three and a half years old, the father was killed by a loan shark, the mother remarried, they guarded the dilapidated dilapidated house and were bullied by the lower nine streams on the road, food and clothing were not guaranteed, I saw that it was really pitiful, so I brought it back and settled in the small courtyard of Beiyuan, they didn't make trouble, I thought that Uncle Jiu didn't pay attention, so he didn't report to you, and he made his own decisions." ”

Uncle Nine didn't get angry, he didn't blame anything, he just picked up the teacup and drank two sips in silence, and then stared at the pattern embroidered on the cup and said meaningfully, "Listen to the maid in the courtyard, the girl is very beautiful." ”

Ji Rongke said yes, this can't be denied, everyone thinks Meng Hehuan is beautiful, he can't pretend to be blind, but it makes Uncle Nine feel strange.

Uncle Nine smiled, looking at him with an intriguing gaze, "I remember that you were twenty-two years old. ”

Ji Rongke said vaguely, "It's almost, but it's twenty-three." ”

"You have good ability, and you can be a man, and you are the deputy hall master, are you wronged?"

Although everyone on the road thinks that he is the left hall master, but in fact, Ji Rongke is still a deputy, the serious left hall master was injured in a battle, and has been bedridden for treatment, according to the hierarchy of the Kowloon Society, the left hall master is half a level higher than the right hall master, the left deputy hall master is equivalent to the right hall master on an equal footing, Ji Rongke is already considered to be the sole power, the head of the door club, he heard Uncle Nine say this, thinking that someone was planting him behind his back, and there were ugly words that reached Uncle Jiu's ears, he immediately got up and knelt on one knee, "I am deeply appreciated by Uncle Jiu, and I dare not have the slightest complaint, Even if it's just an ordinary subordinate, it's loyal. I have been in the club for half a year, and I am already the ninth uncle's great love for me. ”

Uncle Nine hooked his lips and smiled lukewarmly, he reached out to help Ji Rongke up, and said while letting him sit down, "I value you, I like you, and I want to train you to be half a family, but you have to remember that the temptation of beauty must be eliminated, and the harmless woman you are so harmless, she may be the biggest poison." The more glamorous a woman is, the more capital she has to overturn a man's world. ”

Ji Rongke knew what he meant, he pursed his lips, "Uncle Jiu, I don't have those thoughts about Meng Hehuan, I just look at her pitiful, and I can't bear to let her be insulted." I want to wait until she is a few years older and let her leave Fulong Mountain for some errand for her. I don't value the love of children, I just want to follow Uncle Jiu. ”

Uncle Nine heard him promise like this, and the tone in his heart calmed down, once a man touches a woman, no matter how big his ambition is, it will be worn out, the original ten sharp edges and corners are worn away, and only half of them are left, of course, the attack power is greatly reduced, Uncle Nine rarely sees such a good seedling, how can he allow other women to distract him.

He has to keep it, and it is of great use to keep Ji Rongke.

Uncle Nine patted him on the shoulder with kindness, "Rong Ke, I am very pleased that you can tell right from wrong." The coming day is long, Meng Hehuan will keep it, as long as you don't disappoint Uncle Jiu, everything depends on you, I will give you the right to cut first and then play. In a few years, I will plan for you, and I will choose a woman worthy of you to help you achieve great things, so that a girl with no background will not ruin your own dignity. ”

Ji Rongke moved his eyes, lowered his head and said yes, and Uncle Nine let him drink two cups of tea with him before telling him to leave to do things.

Ji Rongke came out of Cangji Hall and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although Uncle Nine did not approve of it, and even had some misunderstandings, but fortunately, he did not force himself to drive the two sisters and brothers away, otherwise he didn't know what kind of opening sentence to tell Meng Hehuan about it, once her watery eyes were filled with tears, he was powerless.

For the time being, this level passed, and he walked to the courtyard where Meng Hehuan lived in a good mood, and the bodyguard saw his intention and reminded her that Miss Meng was not in the room, but in the lotus pond in the back mountain.

Ji Rongke paused after hearing this, he smiled, "She's in a good mood." ”

The bodyguard said, "Miss Meng has a girlish heart, likes flowers and plants, she has only lived for a few days, and her yard is full of flowers. ”

Ji Rongke's eyes appeared in front of her with flowers covering her face, and he felt very funny, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he turned back in silence, and walked towards the pond in the back mountain.

The pond is a semicircle, Uncle Nine likes to eat lotus seeds, so Fulongshan dug a pond, continued warm water, except for the coldest deep winter, spring, summer and autumn lotus canopy can bloom, when it blooms the most, a pond is full, even the shore is climbing a few, the air is wafting with the fragrance of lotus pods, white pink lotus, turquoise lotus leaves, just under the sun scorching its bloom.

Ji Rongke just arrived on Fulong Mountain, he was not very comfortable with the group life here, he was used to wandering the rivers and lakes alone, and suddenly he was restrained, although he knew that this kind of life was good, but it was inevitable that he would be uncomfortable, he would take advantage of everyone to sleep, quietly go to the lotus pond in the middle of the night to sit, light a cigarette, and look at the sparkling lake, when the moonlight was the thickest, and the moon on the mountain was the most beautiful.

He secretly laughed at Meng Hehuan, who is really good at finding a place, the lotus pond on this mountain is the most fun, and she found it after only a few days.

The bodyguards escorted Ji Rongke to the back mountain, and before he could go down from the mountain, he heard the sound of the girl's coquettish laughter from a long distance, like a string of crisp and pleasant ringtones, fluttering and swaying, and flew over.

Meng Hehuan was wearing a white dress that Ji Rongke ordered someone to buy for her, green silk was curled into a bun, and a pink lotus flower was inserted on it, she was sitting on a small boat, slowly washing, rowing towards the center of the lake, she was the most lazy, and she was the most afraid of ugliness, she held a huge lotus leaf in her hand, blocking the front of her eyes, and half of her delicate little face was a silhouette of a daisy color, like an ink painting with far-reaching artistic conception.

She smiled so beautifully, the sun was beautiful, she was lively and bright, and she reflected a pool of summer light.

Ji Rongke shouted at her with a smile, Meng Hehuan heard his voice, immediately threw away the lotus leaves in the way, rowed the wood pulp back, the boat turned leisurely, she saw Ji Rongke standing on the shore at a glance, his tall body was hidden among the lush trees, and behind him stood a two-meter-high boulder, he leaned on it, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled softer than spring.

Meng Hehuan's heart suddenly jumped, this beating made her dazed and frightened, made her shy, she didn't know why it was like this suddenly, a little suffocated, a little hurried, she wanted to see him, but she was afraid to see him, she thought he was so good, but compared to her, she hated herself for being so mediocre, why did she hate herself.

Meng Hehuan absentmindedly swayed the wood pulp, a breeze swept by, mixed with lotus seeds, the fragrance was dizzying, her crescent white dress, intertwined with the sparkling waves of the lake, dazzling, she seemed to melt into this pool of water, like a lotus fairy bursting out.

When I first saw her that day, she was pitiful in the fiery red, she had a charming appearance that did not fit her age, and it was revealed from her bones, which was noticed by men. Today she is dressed in white, and it is clear and immaculate, like a piece of snow, a handful of water, and everything in heaven and earth is blasphemous.

She is suitable for red, but more suitable for white, this pure and delicate crescent white sets off her girlish silhouette exquisitely charming, Ji Rongke suddenly said to the bodyguard standing next to him, "Before entering Uncle Jiu, I was mixed everywhere in North and Northeast China, although I was not embarrassed, but I also had no fixed place for my home. I'm not interested in being a civilian.,So it's very mixed.,I've always thought that a person is very good.,Chic and free.,Unrestrained.,But now that I see Hehuan.,I suddenly thought that it would be nice to have such a sister.。 ”

The bodyguard was stunned when he heard the last sentence, he frowned and looked at Ji Rongke, his eyes were full of tenderness and waves, staring at the girl who came by rowing in the wind, the bodyguard swallowed his saliva, it turned out that he was wrong, how could a man as calm as Brother Rong like him like a girl who had not dried up.

He immediately touched his nose with some embarrassment, and echoed with a smile, "Brother Rong is right, Miss Meng is smart and lively, and it is indeed good to have such a sister." ”

Not only is she smart and lively, but she can also be coquettish.

Ji Rongke remembered the first time she saw a few new clothes that she had bought for her, she smiled like something, she circled around the house, and shouted that she looked good without trying, she ran over to look at herself, her face was flushed, and there were fine starlight hidden in her pure eyes, she was so happy that when she opened her mouth, she was panting unevenly, snorting, and looking even more cute.

"I can promise you a request, valid for five years, count me as your favor."

Ji Rongke never thought it was so funny, what could she return, an embroidered handkerchief or a pillow, he didn't like those things.

Meng Hehuan had rowed to the shore and stopped when Ji Rongke was distracted, and the water waves rippled out from the bottom of the boat, blowing her body off the boat and shaking, she grabbed Ji Rongke, wrapped it around him, and shouted, "Help me up!" I can't catch it. ”

Ji Rongke's palm pressed on her slender waist, grabbed her skirt and lifted her ashore, she stood firm on a lawn, smiled and tilted her head and blinked, turned her back mysteriously, and suddenly took out a huge lotus canopy from her chest, pulling the collar crookedly, almost spring. She didn't bother to tidy up her clothes, and handed it to Ji Rongke's eyes with a swish, and her proud little face was raised high, "It's very sweet." ”
