Wu Tao, the fourth master of Huluyu, was drinking alcohol and getting angry in his room at this time, touching the wound on his body that was beaten this morning, it really hurt in his body and even more in his heart.

Originally, the big boss was called Huatian Jiezhai, in order to protect the homeless people who couldn't survive, and resist the government's Haoqiang in order to survive, but he didn't expect that now his name Huatian has degenerated to collude with Haoqiang to oppress and exploit the poor people.

What's even more infuriating is that this big boss is still a slave of money, a hungry ghost. Every time he went down the mountain, he did not dare to be the enemy of the big households, and he focused on the small farmers in the middle of the household, and every time the brothers got the gold, silver, grain, and cloth into his private treasury, and did not share a single inch with the cottage brothers, these old brothers and their families who had been in trouble with him lived a very difficult life, so that in the first two days, there was a phenomenon of starvation in the cottage.

And Hua Tian's temper has become more and more arrogant, more arbitrary and arbitrary, all day long in those sycophants in the small circle of the frog at the bottom of the well, can not listen to the other brothers half of the word advice, every disobedience or complaint, the light is whipped and killed, to the cottage now everyone in the cottage is in danger, dare to be angry and dare not speak, and those close to the big boss are flatterers, but also make the big boss lawless and do whatever he wants.

I persuaded many times in the spirit of the public, at the beginning I didn't hum or ha, and I was kind to myself, but then I was quite impatient, and I began to speak ill of myself until now it is a stick, and I am angry with other birds in vain.

Wu Tao was drinking stuffy wine and feeling sorry for himself in the room, when he heard someone shouting outside the house; "The four masters are available?"

Wu Tao put down the wine bowl and replied casually: "Here, which one is it?" Is there a problem? ”

"The little Qianshan patrol two dogs, brought an old acquaintance to the four masters, and the four masters still haven't come out to see?"

When Wu Tao heard that Ergou had brought his old acquaintance, he was puzzled, but he didn't know which one it was, so he hurriedly stood up and pushed open the door to watch.

A familiar figure beside Ergou outside the door was looking at himself with a smile on his face, and when he looked closely, wasn't it his brother Chen San and that? was overjoyed at the moment, rushed up and hugged him; "Good brother, I miss my brother to death."

Chen San also hugged his brother excitedly, and didn't say anything for a long time, even if he was worshipping his brother, it was not an ordinary feeling, it was not a brother who was better than a brother, after a long separation, how could it not make people happy to see each other today.

Wu Tao looked left and right with his brother's arms, and punched Chen Sanyi hard, Chen Sansheng received this punch, and his upper body did not move at all.

"Okay, good, my body bones are much stronger than before, good, good." Wu Tao looked at his brother with satisfaction, but tears of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Chen San couldn't help but look at his brother, seeing that his body was still so tall and mighty, but he had lost a lot of weight, especially with a decadent aura all over his body, and he lost his vigor at that time.

"But my brother has lost a lot of weight. Thinking about it, my brother must be ruthless. Yan Dao's eyes are also hot here.

Ergou saw that the two of them just looked at each other, and their brotherly love was deep, and they were also deeply moved, but this was not a solution. Hurriedly stepped forward and joked with a smile: "The four masters, the Chen family brothers have come all the way, and you are just blocking the house like this, this doesn't seem to be hospitality." ”

Wu Tao was mentioned by the second dog, and suddenly woke up, but he was just so happy that he left his brother out of the door. Laughed and patted his head to apologize. "Seeing my brother coming today, I only care about being happy here, but I neglect my brother, hurry up in the house, please." As he spoke, he pulled Chen San into the room and found a chair for Chen San to sit down.

"Don't be busy first, anyway, I won't leave for a while this time, and it is right that I should go to visit the big boss first, after all, when I get to someone's land, I can't lose my courtesy." Chen San hurriedly pleaded with Wu Tao.

"It's not busy, the big boss tossed all night last night, and drank a lot of wine this morning, thinking that he must be drunk like mud now, where can I still see people? But my brother drinks with me, and I will go with him again tomorrow. When he mentioned the big boss, Wu Tao felt unhappy for a while, but it was not easy to show it too much in front of his brothers. pressed the brother to sit down, found a broken teapot to pour a bowl of water for the brother, and then beckoned the second dog who was still on the side to come over; "Brother Ergou, my brother is here, please go to Dakuli to find some food, make a jar of good wine, and then you call a few good brothers to come to me and have fun together, and tell them that we will not get drunk tonight."

Ergou was happy when he heard that there was wine and meat to eat, so he stood there and waited for Wu Tao to follow.

Wu Tao knew the reason, and blushed for a while and said: "Please go and talk to Lao Li, the head of the library, this time write it down first, and then we can count it together next time." ”

Ergou didn't leave, glanced at Chen San with his eyes, and then said in a very embarrassed whisper, "You also know that the fourth master, that Lao Li just listened to the words of the big boss and the silver money, as for--" Wu Tao's expression darkened, knowing that what Ergou said was the truth, but the brother came to prepare some wine and meat to entertain it, it was necessary, and was about to distinguish a few more times, Chen San took over with a smile: "It seems that my brother has a tight position in his hands, but it's not a big deal, brother, I have some copper money here, trouble Brother Ergou to buy wine, meat and food, Don't be robbed by him for no reason. "As he spoke, he took out a handful of good money in the cloth bag he brought with him, and saw that there were about thirty or twenty wen, and he didn't count them, so he stuffed them in the hands of the second dog;" Two dog brothers, look at these wine and meat for a dozen brothers? ”

The second dog was busy answering, and said again and again; "Enough is enough, such good money, it is worth five or seven hundred, enough." took those full copper coins and said happily: "Your brother will talk first, and I will go to Lao Li's place, and I will ensure that it is done properly." After saying that, the smoke disappeared.

Chen San once heard of the rules in this cottage, it turned out that everyone desperately went outside to loot the materials, money and food, all in accordance with the instructions of Hua Tian in the cottage warehouse, in fact, it is his own private treasury, guarded by his cronies Lao Li, said that everyone shared, but in fact there is nothing except for a little life-saving food for everyone at the beginning of each month, if you want to eat more or take more, you have to use money to buy, sometimes everyone goes out to eat and secretly hide some money, and when the family is really hungry, Fortunately, Lao Li changed some food for emergency, and the owners of several cottages could still withdraw a little freely, but with Wu Tao's landlessness, Lao Li slowly stopped waiting to see him, and always shirked it with various excuses.

Wu Tao touched the back of his head, embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Chen San hurriedly pulled his brother to sit down: "It's all my own brother, isn't mine my brother's?" Where is the need for such a clear distinction? It's just a little money. ”

"Coming to my brother has made my brother break the bank, and he will laugh and laugh." Wu Tao was also free and easy, so he didn't care about these anymore, so he pulled a stool and sat next to Chen San to start a family affair with Chen San.

After talking for a while, Chen San said tentatively: "It seems that my brother is not living very fast." ”

"Brother Hugh mentions those heartwarming things. My brother is suffering here. ”

Once he mentioned the troubles of his situation, Wu Tao sighed and told all the unsatisfactory things he had during this time, and it was even more right, when he came to the cottage, he wanted to help the ordinary people, but now not only did he fail to help the poor brothers, but he became a villain accomplice who harmed the poor brothers in the township, and he was greatly annoyed. Now he is being ostracized and hit in the cottage, and he is unsatisfactory everywhere, and he pours out a bitter water in front of his brothers.

Chen San just listened, but didn't say anything. At this time, Ergou had already returned, took a lot of wine and meat, and brought several leaders and brothers in the cottage who were usually good with Wu Tao, and these brothers were also familiar with Chen San. Everyone greeted each other politely, and at the same time sorted things out in the kitchen, and there were no special dishes, and there were many people, and they were served on the table after a while.

The brothers in the house are usually good, and they are not polite, they each found a stool to sit on, and they picked up a big bowl and poured soju and began to drink heartily.

After three rounds of drinking, a leader enlarged the bowl and exhaled happily.

"Aren't the brothers usually drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls? Looking at the way my brothers eat, I felt like I had entered a wolf's den. Chen San knew that these must be his brother's best friends, and there were no outsiders, so he deliberately provoked the topic.

For a while, the originally lively banquet immediately became cold, and everyone put down the wine bowl and sighed for a long time.

After a while, a leader named Zhao Si snorted, patted his thighs and shook his head and sighed: "So that the elder brother of the Chen family knows that we are the big boss, just listening to the instigation of those few villains around him, drinking and playing with women." It also put away all the things that everyone looted with their heads, and turned a public treasury into a private treasury, where to share the profits with the brothers? Yes, there are also those sycophants who were given to him. Now that we are fighting to the death in the front, we can only share some coarse grains to survive, so that the whole family will not starve to death. ”

Ergouzi also said: "Our boss brothers are okay, you look at those minions below, the situation is even more miserable, fighting to the death for the big boss's life, but when he arrives, he can't get a meal or clothing." The third son of the Tianhou team starved to death before yesterday, and he had asked the steward for a little rice before, but the dead man Lao Li only recognized the name Huatian and silver money, where was he willing to give half a grain, isn't this a sin? Alas--"

The other leader also took over. "What Lao Zhao said is that in fact, our leaders are only slightly better than those minions, but they are only some coarse grains to make ends meet, and we can't see half of the smell of meat for a few months, not to mention this wine, and we don't have the money to bribe that hateful dog-legged Lao Li, so we can only stay up like this. No, I heard that the second brother said that the third brother came back and took out good money to buy wine and meat, and the brothers were cheeky and said that they were helping, but in fact they were rubbing wine and meat, and they hadn't eaten enough for half a year. I said, third brother, seeing that you are so generous, I think you have made a fortune outside, or where did you get a lot of good money to distribute to those doormen? Can you buy all this wine and meat? Come on, everyone is happy for you, and you can't say that you need everyone's help, so you can still stretch your strength. ”

"Yes, yes, say it, everyone listen." Everyone was interested when they heard that someone mentioned this matter, and they all put down eating and drinking, and stretched their necks to listen to Chen San tell his legendary story.

Chen San saw that everyone was eager, so he looked at Wu Tao with a smile, Wu Tao also wanted to hear about his brother's experience during this time, so he smiled and said: "Since everyone is happy to listen to your story, let's talk about it, and let everyone be happy for you." ”

When Chen San saw that his brother agreed, he didn't buy it, and said something in front of his good brother.
