Li Xun helped the old man to a temple a few miles away, and there was a large pond behind the temple.

The old man sat down on a rock, threw out his fishing rod, and quietly began to fish.

"Uncle, how old are you this year?"

Li Xun squatted on the ground, holding a branch, bored on the ground to draw and write.

The old man said lightly: "The old man is eighty and three this year. ”

Eighty-three?

Li Xun looked at the old man's head with a lot of black hair and energetic face, which looked like he was in his fifties.

"You look much younger than you really are."

The old man smiled, closed his eyes, and fished quietly.

Li Xun wanted to speak several times, but looking at him like that, he couldn't be disturbed, so he had to wait patiently.

There were a lot of fish in the pond, and the old man could catch a fish every once in a while, but the strange thing was that he put the fish back into the pond, and for a whole afternoon, more than two hours, there were only three big white fish in the fish basket.

Li Xun said very strangely: "Uncle, why do you only keep white fish, and the other fish are released?" ”

The old man said lightly: "The white fish has a fierce temperament and likes to eat its own kind, and if it is allowed to reproduce, it will endanger the entire pond. ”

Li Xun suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Uncle, you are really kind, but it's just a whole afternoon, and you have gained very little, isn't it a pity?" ”

The old man smiled lightly: "Some people fish to satisfy their hunger, some people fish to sell money, I don't have this intention, what is the use of it?"

Li Xun was puzzled: "Then what are you fishing for?" ”

"No, it's just idle and boring, just passing the time."

The old man laughed, got up to leave, and Li Xun packed up his fishing gear and hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, are you really familiar with Xiong Haitao?"

The old man chuckled, "Of course, I have a very good relationship with him." ”

"Uncle, you promised me to intercede for me, you can't break your word."

The old man glanced at Li Xun and said softly: "Fan Zhongyun's matter, the old man also knows a little bit about it, he is now dismissed from his official position, he has no money to spare, it can be said that he has nothing, and there is no use value, why do you still do your best to help him?" ”

"Uncle, how can you say that? Between friends, how can there be interests, Fan Zhongyun is my friend, and now he needs help from others, how can I sit idly by? ”

Li Xun very much disagreed with the old man's words and shouted loudly.

The old man smiled, and did not argue with Li Xun, but said jokingly: "The way you help your friends is very special!" ”

Li Xun's face turned red, and he said helplessly: "I can't think of any other way to make this decision, I'm not so thick-skinned." ”

The old man raised his head slightly, with a hint of remembrance on his face, and said silently: "Your mood, the old man can fully understand it, when the old man was young, in order to achieve his goal, he also did such a thing. ”

Li Xun looked at the old man with some suspicion, his whole person looked quite serious, not like a person who could do such a thing.

The two returned to Xiong Mansion all the way, and Jiang Daxiong was fighting outside the door, tiger and tiger, which made people look intimidating.

The old man looked at Jiang Daxiong and said meaningfully: "This person is extremely strong in martial arts, if he forcibly breaks into the mansion, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him." ”

Li Xun smiled awkwardly, he suddenly had an illusion, as if this old man had seen his intentions.

Li Xun helped the old man to the door, at this time, Xiong Mochun came back from errands, saw the old man, was stunned, and then hurriedly ran over, supported the old man, and said respectfully: "Father, why don't you take people with you when you go out?" ”

The old man pushed Xiong Mochun away and said coldly, "I'm not old enough to walk." ”

"Yes, Father."

It can be seen that Xiong Mochun is very in awe of his father, and he scolded him, didn't dare to say anything, stepped aside, and lowered his head.

"You are Xiong Haitao?"

Li Xun looked at the old man and lost his voice.

"Presumptuous."

Xiong Mochun was furious, pointed at Li Xun and scolded loudly: "Rude junior, how can you call it in the name of your father?" ”

Li Xunli also ignored Xiong Mochun, looked at Xiong Haitao coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Old man Xiong, what do you mean by this? ”

Xiong Haitao said lightly: "The old man told you that when I was young, I did the same thing as you, otherwise, even if you sit here for the rest of your life, the old man will not come out to see you." ”

Li Xun clenched his fists tightly, and there was anger on his face.

"Big bear, let's go."

Li Xun turned around violently and yelled, he had already made a decision in his heart, he would bring someone over tomorrow to rob Xiong Haitao, and take care of him.

"Boy, you don't want to save people?"

Xiong Haitao suddenly shouted.

Li Xun froze in place, turned around, and said in surprise: "Are you willing to help me?" ”

Xiong Haitao smiled: "Don't you already have a decision in your heart?" ”

Li Xun's face turned red, he knew that his little caution had been seen by the other party, and since he dared to say it at the moment, he was obviously not afraid of his own trick.

"Old man, since you have already guessed the kid's mind, you are not afraid to think about it."

Li Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Xiong Haitao smiled, turned around and walked towards the house.

Li Xun hurriedly shouted loudly: "Old man, when will you go to Fan Zhongyun's house to treat his wife?" ”

Xiong Haitao laughed, and said without looking back: "If you want the old man to help, how can it be so simple, don't you value the love of friends?" Well, the old man wants all your family wealth, when will he bring all your property, and when will the old man go to Fan Zhongyun's house to treat his wife's illness. ”

Li Xun was stunned in place, speechless for a long time.

Jiang Daxiong said angrily: "This old man is too greedy, isn't he just treating people?" It's too much to ask for all the family wealth, the boss doesn't have to pay attention to it, I'll go and tie up the old man, give him two punches, and he will definitely be honest. ”

Li Xun shook his head, Xiong Haitao finally let go, although the conditions offered were extremely harsh, but at least Li Xun saw hope.

Li Xun pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision, glanced at Xiong Mansion, and said hatefully: "Isn't it money?" Without the master, I will earn it again. ”

"Go home."

Li Xun shouted and turned to leave.

Back home, Li Xun took a bath, a good sleep, early the next morning, Li Mancang took a few people to the manor to do business, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xun sneaked into Li Mancang's bedroom, rummaged around, and finally found a box in a corner of the wall, which contained dozens of thick silver tickets, Li Xun counted, there were nearly 200,000 taels.

Li Xun led Jiang Daxiong to Xiong Mansion.

The housekeeper thought that he had already received Xiong Haitao's instructions, and his attitude was much more polite, so he asked Li Xun to wait for a while, and then returned to report.

A moment later, Xiong Haitao came to the door, holding a box in his hand.

Li Xun took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Xiong Haitao.

Xiong Haitao didn't look at the silver ticket in his hand, threw it directly to the housekeeper, and said lightly to Li Xun: "Boy, lead the way ahead!" ”

Li Xun was overjoyed, and hurriedly yelled at Jiang Daxiong: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you carry the old man on your back." ”

Jiang Daxiong sighed, picked up Xiong Haitao, carried him behind him, and then hurried towards Fan Zhongyun's house with Li Xun.

Xiong Haitao did not refuse Li Xun's kindness, squinted his eyes, and had some smiles on his face.
