We stood at the gate of the courtyard, not disturbing these martial artists in the slightest. They were very serious with one move and one style, Zhao Tiequan stood at the front of the team, looking at these martial artists with blazing eyes, and from time to time he said two proverbs to remind them.

A young man suddenly passed through the middle of the team, stout and stupid, it was Zhao Hongjun.

"Brother Hao, you're here!" Zhao Hongjun stood in front of us panting.

"Well, what are you asking us to see?"

"Wait a minute, you'll see it right away." Zhao Hongjun turned around and looked at the martial artists who filled the courtyard.

At this moment, the sound of a bell ringing sounded in the corner of the courtyard. I saw an old man with gray hair, holding a yellow, orange bell in his right hand, and was "tinkling" and ringing. After a few rings, Zhao Tiequan in front of the team said, "Stop!" ”

And they stood straight, motionless. Zhao Tiequan ordered again: "Let's eat." ”

The crowd dispersed, and they ran to the corner, where there was a large cauldron, steaming outward, and it was impossible to see what kind of rice it was. Next to the cauldron, there are also two bamboo baskets, inside which are porcelain bowls and chopsticks. Everyone took the dishes and chopsticks, rushed to the cauldron, and put rice in their bowls. It turned out that Zhao Tiequan accepted apprentices, and he had to take care of other people's meals. But this shouldn't be a difficult thing for Zhao Tiequan, right? So I'm still wondering, what did Zhao Hongjun ask me to see.

I looked at Zhao Hongjun strangely, but Zhao Hongjun's gaze was always on those martial artists. After the warriors had finished eating, they went to all corners one after another, and gathered together to eat. There are also a lot of martial artists gathered near our people, and that's when I sent them two steamed buns in their bowls. A martial artist complained: "Why is it steamed buns again, and they are still served with pickles!" The martial artist next to him said, "Yes, it's been a few days, is the master in financial difficulties?" A previous martial artist said: "Probably not, Master is so rich, covering so many fields on Kaiyuan Road, and also opening a big bar, how can he be short of money." The latter martial artist threw the bowl and said, "Then we have to eat these, no wonder there are so many senior brothers and younger brothers!" ”

I looked at Zhao Hongjun in amazement, Zhao Hongjun clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of stubbornness and humiliation. At this time, there was a dispute in the cauldron, and we all looked up, only to see the old man in charge of cooking and saying, "You have already eaten two steamed buns, you can't ask for any more!" The martial artist in front of the cauldron said indignantly: "It's okay to eat steamed buns with pickles, why are you only giving two steamed buns now?" ”

The old man said, "If you don't give it, you don't give it, and I don't know why, you can ask Master Zhao to go!" ”

But Zhao Tiequan had already entered the house and couldn't hear the quarrels outside. That martial artist still doesn't give up, and he must make one more steamed bun. Slowly, the whole yard was in an uproar, accusing the old man of why he didn't make more steamed buns. "We are all martial arts practitioners, how can we practice kung fu without a full meal?" "We cover so many fields every day and help Master earn so much money, why can't we even eat a full meal?" "If you continue like this, I won't allow Bèi to come!"

"What a mess!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the courtyard fell silent. I saw Peng Jiang standing in the middle, his eyes widened, obviously angry, and said fiercely: "If you don't want to eat, get out!" ”

Peng Jiang's prestige was obviously quite high, and no one dared to speak, so they lowered their heads and silently picked up the bowl, and for a while there was only the sound of everyone swallowing. Slowly, and then someone whispered about the day. I asked Zhao Hongjun, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhao Hongjun gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Hao, can't you see it yet?" My family's economy is in big trouble, and now I can't even afford to feed my apprentices! I used to have a forest bar at home, and it was far from a problem for these people to eat. But now ......"

"It's not." I wondered, "Isn't your dad still covering a lot of entertainment venues?" How...... Poor like this? ”

"My dad covers those entertainment venues and doesn't take a penny!"

"Why?!" I was taken aback, it was something I didn't expect at all.

"My dad said that people who practice martial arts should be chivalrous and righteous, and should not always talk about money. It is our duty to protect the weak and maintain peace. That's why I don't charge a penny for all the entertainment places in my house. ”

"This ...... There's no need, help people deal with problems and make some money...... "I was stunned, I didn't expect this to be the case at all.

"My dad's ambition is to carry forward martial arts, and it doesn't matter if he makes money or not, so he has always taken money very lightly. I used to have a forest bar in my house, which was very profitable and could feed hundreds of people every day. Now ......"

Miao Wenqing next to him suddenly asked, "Your family is so poor, how can you afford to open such a big bar?" ”

Zhao Hongjun said: "That's Su Yaming's sponsorship of my father, which is equivalent to Su Yaming helping my father raise these apprentices." Of course, the condition is that when Su Yaming needs my dad, my dad must help. Like Su Xiaobai's incident that day, my dad had to go. In fact, my dad did a lot of things like this. He was in pain and felt like he couldn't help himself. But there is no way, eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed, and if you take other people's money, you have to do things for others. ”

"But then, your dad gave me the bar to apologize......"

"Yes, on the one hand, my dad is here to apologize; On the other hand, my dad didn't want to be curbed by Su Yaming anymore, so he gave you the bar! ”

But in this way, won't the economy be completely cut off? Why did your dad ......?"

"As I said, my dad doesn't have a concept of money, he just thinks it's enough. After giving you the bar, he still has some savings on hand, and he wanted to invest in something, but he lost it all, and now he can't make ends meet......"

I sighed, I didn't expect Zhao Tiequan to have such a hard time, but it made me feel a lot of guilt.

"Some time ago, my dad and Black Yama matter, do you think my dad doesn't want revenge? But I can't afford it! Once the fight starts, it's all money, it's money when you open your eyes, and it's still money when you close your eyes. Someone is injured and needs to be treated? Someone died in battle and wants to be buried? Someone is in prison to make money, and now he can't even afford to eat, my dad can't afford to fight this fight! I have no choice but to endure ......"

As he spoke, Zhao Hongjun's eyes turned red again. He looked up at the sky, as if to prevent tears from flowing: "In the past few days, there have been a lot of senior brothers and junior brothers, and there were three or four hundred people in their heyday, and now there are only more than a hundred people left." If this continues, my dad will be finished, and my family will be finished......"

"Brother Wang Hao?" Suddenly, a gruff voice came.

When I looked up, I saw Zhao Tiequan and Peng Jiang walking together, and the martial artists who were squatting and eating next to me all stood up and said hello. Zhao Tiequan waved his hands one by one, and finally came to me, and said, "Brother, why are you here?" Then he took my hand: "Thank you for that night." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Peng Jiang would ...... Alas. I rushed to the door to thank me, but I was too busy to take a break these days......"

"You're so busy that you can't get out of the way!" Zhao Hongjun yelled at his father: "You have no money, I'm embarrassed to go empty-handed!" Father! Can you not die and suffer the sin? Tell me the truth, I called Brother Hao here today just to let him see our family's predicament and see if he can return the forest bar to us! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhao Tiefist was furious and slapped it over.

Zhao Hongjun covered his face and cried and said, "Why can't you say it? Our family can't even afford to eat, why can't we say it? Brother Hao is righteous, as long as we talk to him, he will definitely help us! ”

"No more messing around!" Zhao Tiefist slapped him again, and said angrily: "I sent the bar out, how can there be any reason to come back?" You give me home and reflect on it! ”

"No, no!" Zhao Hongjun is very stubborn.

Peng Jiang was in a hurry, but he couldn't persuade the father and son to quarrel, so he could only keep saying: "Red Army, don't say it." ”

The quarrel between the father and son also attracted the attention of the other martial artists in the courtyard. Everyone stood up one after another, and for a while there was a lot of nonsense: "Master really has no money!" "Why give away such a big bar?" "I can't even afford to eat, so let's go, alas. Master is a good Master, but who doesn't need yào to eat......"

Zhao Tiequan was still beating Zhao Hongjun, no one dared to come up to dissuade him, and some people even put down the bowl and walked out of the door directly.

Watching this scene and listening to Zhao Hongjun's crying, I felt very uncomfortable, and almost said something like "The forest bar will return it to you" on the spot. After all, I still have a sand and gravel plant, which is not difficult at all economically. But the Forest Bar is not my own, and the owners of the Black Tiger Gang have shares, and everyone must agree to give them away.

I called them aside, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Brick said with red eyes: "What else do you see, give it back to others, people can't even afford to eat." ”

Everyone nodded, and sure enough, they were all a bunch of righteous men. I was moved in my heart, and I was about to speak, but I heard Miao Wenqing say: "Don't you think that they are acting in a play for us to see?" ”

"Hey, how do you talk?!" The bricks were the first to be dissatisfied.

"That is, do you still have a little conscience?" The Fist Tiger was furious.

But the others didn't speak, but looked into the courtyard. Ye Zhan said: "It's really a well-intentioned scene." ”

The complaining martial artist, the aggrieved son, the angry father, and the anxious Peng Jiang......

Everything is just done for us to see. Since Zhao Hongjun asked me to come and see it this morning, this scene has been in full swing.

Zhao Tiequan transferred the forest bar to me, how could Zhao Hongjun not know about this big thing? How could other martial artists not know dào?

Miao Wenqing said leisurely: "Actually, Brother Hao, you can see that they are acting, right?" ”
