Chapter 84: Soul and Desire

Li Guolou sent Chen Xiangfang home, the two were still a little worried about Zheng Lingling, and when they returned to Baozhilin, they saw that Zheng Lingling was safe and sound, and it seemed that the people of Ma Ji Car Dealership were a reliable guarantee of trust. Li Guolou went home. The carriage turned back to Hongchang Hutong, it was already midnight, Li Guolou pushed the door of the compound, and it was not closed, and he was already calculating in his heart, who is it? Can't wait to meet him.

Li Guolou didn't calculate accurately this time, no one was waiting for him in his south room, but there were many prayers and gifts waiting for him to check. Ma Yaozu and Qian Shuiping rarely waited for him to come back together.

Yao Cuo and Wu Defu's greetings and gifts show that they still appreciate his adventurous actions and do not blame him for his recklessness.

Wu Defu's message to him was only two words: "Move!" Looking at this post, Li Guolou felt heavy, he couldn't live here, and if something happened, it would harm the neighbor next door. This makes it clear why Ma Yaozu and Qian Shuiping are still waiting for him to come back in the middle of the night.

Li Guolou was a little reluctant, but he had already prepared, he called the hometown hall Li Jingluo to find the house has been found, it's just a matter of money, and he wants his brother Li Guoyun to come out, this money has not been transferred by his brother, and he doesn't have such a sum of money around him, so it has been delayed for a few days.

Li Guolou glanced at Ma Yaozu and said: "Ma Dabang, we are also fated, I will take care of your two children in the future, and I will raise them as my own children, you don't have to bear this." You and sister-in-law Qian live a good life, don't gamble anymore, have you taken home this month's salary? โ€

Ma Yaozu sat in Li Guolou's living room, uncomfortable, a big man had to rely on a young man's alms to live, and his face felt very down. But he is already a gambler, he can spend all his savings, and gambling addiction is as difficult to cure as drug addiction, which can be seen in his spitting tone.

Li Guolou sighed, glanced at the Qian Shui screen that wiped his eyes, and already knew about their family's affairs this month. Shaking his head and saying: "Ma Da stick, you are cured, even if you are hacked to death in the future, I will not care." As long as you don't sell the house, you can toss this one. โ€

Li Guolou is a person who refuses to accept Ma Yaozu as his entourage, and he is a gambler, and he will sell his master one day.

Ma Yaozu wanted to be tough but couldn't, his family had to be supported by Li Guolou, so he leaned over and said: "The lesson of the fake foreign devil is that I swear never to gamble again, and I will definitely get my salary back next month." โ€

Li Guolou won't believe the gambler's words, and next month, the money he hid was also stolen by Ma Yaozu, and he lost the bet. Qian Shuiping has hidden his valuable things and title deeds in his house, and this family will be destroyed by Ma Yaozu sooner or later, and Ma Yaozu must still owe the gambling account of the Silver Hook Casino.

Li Guolou bent down and pulled out a short knife from his military boots, slammed it on the table viciously, and said: "Ma Da Stick, if I want me to believe your words, cut off one of your index fingers, otherwise don't swear by the curse." โ€

The bright knife was eye-catching, and Li Guolou was like a gangster brother's move, which scared Ma Yaozu and Qian Shuiping, and the two stood up together. The two had already seen the blood stains on Li Guolou's body and the damage to his clothes, and they were speechless in fright.

Li Guolou's dark face was dark, and he glared angrily: "Ma Da stick, you can't quit gambling, don't think that I will give you a good look, to a soft egg like you, you are only worthy of carrying a straw bag for a lifetime." โ€

The words were very heavy, showing no mercy, and the angry Ma Yaozu said angrily: "Fake foreign devils, don't think that if you are rich, you look down on the poor!" โ€

In the middle of the night, the third watch roared like a lion, rushed out of the door, but still didn't have the courage to pull out the knife on the table and rushed back to his room. Ma Yaozu was still in his own house, "ping pong" smashing bowls and pots, making people in a yard unable to sleep.

Qian Shuiping cried sadly in front of Li Guolou, making Li Guolou feel like he was interrogating a trivial family divorce case in court. Li Guolou hugged his head and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I will agree to half of your conditions, and you will be the housekeeper of my family, as for your husband, even if I have money, I will not allow him to step into the door of my house, this kind of waste is only what you like." โ€

Qian Shuiping cried and said: "Xiao Lizi, my husband didn't gamble back then, and my brother was not good ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Qian, don't say it anymore, don't blame your brother for this matter, only forcing people to go to a dead end, there is no need to force people to gamble." In the middle of the night, I also want to rest, don't tell me about your family, I have done my best to your family. As for you and Martha, I don't want to care about it at all. โ€

Qian Shuiping got the minimum requirements, her life was settled, and she didn't dare to bother Li Guolou anymore, wiped a handful of tears and snot, broke into a smile, and said: "Then thank you, without your selfless help, my family would have been ruined." In the future, I will call Niu Niu and Niu Niu to honor you. โ€

Li Guolou waved his hand and said, "Let's go, sister-in-law Qian, if you are numb, I don't know how many times a day I have to say, so don't flatter me." Don't tell me there's no hot water at home? โ€

Qian Shuiping smiled: "Don't worry, Xiao Lizi, there is a pot of hot water in the pot in the kitchen, you can take a bath." He said: "Xiao Lizi, this dress is torn, do you still want it?" โ€

Li Guolou didn't look at it, waved his hand and said, "Take it, don't want it!" sighed in her heart, no matter how much the couple quarreled, as soon as they got into bed, they were a family, and Qian Shuiping still wanted to help her husband Ma Yaozu. After thinking about it, it seems that Ma Yaozu's kung fu in bed is very good, so that Qian Shuiping will worry about when her husband will come back every time.

Washing his hair and taking a bath in the kitchen, at this time Li Guolou felt soreness and pain all over his body, it would be good to have a bone-setting master to massage it, he secretly made up his mind, he would go to Master Huang Qiying tomorrow to massage it, and take a look at Zheng Lingling by the way, as for Chen Xiangfang, he was ranked last, when can he take Chen Xiangfang out to play? This course needs to be arranged quickly, and he has a feeling that he can't wait.

Hearing the strange sound of Qian Shuiping coming from next door, Li Guolou poured a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and finally calmed down. It is still necessary to do things step by step, and to be a person must also have a plan, first career and then family, this matter has been arranged a long time ago, and the order cannot be changed until it is absolutely necessary. From the kitchen to the south room, you have to go through the courtyard, Li Guolou in a coat has her teeth chattering, and there is no one to serve you, it is a very hard thing, do you want to change the order of life? The struggle between the soul and lust will continue.

Getting into the cold quilt, although people are very tired, they can't sleep, tossing and turning. The first time in his life he killed someone, he couldn't sleep at night.

After looking at the pocket watch with the damaged mirror, it was already four o'clock, Li Guolou didn't sleep, got dressed, sat at the desk, and began to write notes.

He took out the file of the theft of the treasury of the household department, and looked at it page by page, and it was meaningful when he had a goal in his life. Only by immersing himself in the dark world and exploring the truth inside, his turbulent heart can beat vigorously. This is a case full of loopholes, and to solve the case is to offend countless Manchu people and moths in the household department, the ugliest side of the Qing Empire is about to be revealed by him, Li Guolou's heart is full of fear, he doesn't dare to look at it anymore. Blocking people's money is like killing parents. Does he have the courage to challenge the world of Manchurians? How will the Manchurians, who are born of noble race, take revenge on him?

Li Guolou stood up suddenly, pushed open the window, the dawn of dawn had come, the cold wind blew on his resolute face, stretch his posture, he wanted to leave footprints in this world, in addition to killing people to gain fame, but also to solve cases and make a good name.

In the early morning, Li Guolou, as usual, carried a big knife and swayed it in the courtyard, the routine of the big knife was what he learned from Wang Wu, and one move and one style were a little out of shape, but he never learned it seriously. This is the essence of Li Guolou's martial arts, there is no kind of martial arts that he studies into, he will always add his own ideas to a set of standard routines of martial arts, that is, do whatever he wants, and his heart moves at will. There are no routines to fight, and no fool will wait for you to make ten percent of your moves.

Li Guolou doesn't believe in kung fu such as stunts, life and death fighting is to rely on on-the-spot adaptation, and if you have a good brain, you can make more kung fu. Even if a brainless person can do eagle claw skills, he is not afraid, there will always be a way to make the other party soften. It's not terrible to lose, Li Guolou is often beaten down in the martial arts hall, but when it comes to the decisive battle of life and death, he can't lose. At the moment of the decisive battle, there is no time for you to think more, that is to say, there is no regret to take the medicine, and it depends on your decision at this time. Winning or losing is decided in an instant, not by the level of martial arts. In fact, winning or losing is the control of the environment by both sides of the battle, and the kung fu master who cannot make good use of the favorable geographical environment cannot win a sudden decisive battle.

There are restrictions on the duel on the martial arts, and there are no rules to talk about in the real life-and-death battle, and you can win the victory by despicable means. Li Guolou didn't feel that he made the trick shameful, but it made him feel that he was doing the right thing in the Yuejia Theater at that time. Preemptively leaving the opponent without the ability to fight back, and deposing a kung fu master with one move, what a wonderful thing. There is no tirade, the invincible fake style of benevolence, and the showmanship is not done.

Thinking of the complicated movements made by Zhao Yao, Li Guolou couldn't help laughing. And a volley? With two claws raised so high, it would be stupid not to escape.

Eighteen ways to play legs, Li Guolou is meticulous, this is the basic routine of martial arts, and it is also the basis for exercising foot strength. Every kick was kicked to the top of the head, and he didn't slack off at all. When he untied the sandbag on his feet, the expression on Li Guolou's face was painful, practicing martial arts is to fight with his own body functions, and ordinary people can't do the movements, and those who practice martial arts must be brave enough to challenge.

Relaxing his body, Li Guolou looked at the big elm tree and faced the most difficult challenge. Li Guolou abandoned Newton's theory of gravitation, raised his legs and walked up to the straight trunk, took three steps, and jumped backwards, this time his feet were weak, he did not stand firmly, and fell directly to the ground.

"Good!" The king shouted out untimely and loudly.
