Chapter 114: Resolute Self-Abandonment and Seeking Help
Chen Mu was also beating drums in his heart, and his heart was beating wildly, after all, he knew He Huyong's true identity, and He Huyong would kill him at any time, but it was not a joke.
He was so tough this time, in addition to testing Lin Fucheng's friendship with his father, he was also testing He Huyong's bottom limit!
He Huyong's fingers were trembling slightly, but the light in the room was insufficient, and Chen Mu's eyes kept looking at him, and he didn't have time to look at these details.
I only knew that He Huyong must be angry, and now he is just enduring it.
Chen Mu still had to add a fire, He Huyong had already made a lightning move, pulled out the knife with a bang, and it was clean and neat, and the blade was on Chen Mu's neck!
"That's enough."
Lin Fucheng's voice was very old and lazy, like a weak person who had to speak.
He sighed lightly and said, "Child, let's go, the old man won't go to the wedding banquet of your new home, and he won't take it with him, so it's best not to go to anyone." ”
"If you listen to persuasion, find a Western school and study hard, you are a scholar in the end, and the matter of fighting and killing is not suitable for you."
"The old man is a lot older, and he was fierce when he was young, but now I wish I could start my life again, you are now not deeply involved, and it is too late to jump out......"
"The story of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes does sound bloody, but the reality is only cold hatred and blood, and others are involuntarily mixed in, so why do you want to jump in by yourself?"
Lin Fucheng seemed to have never said so many words, as if talking was a great burden for him, and he worked harder than herding cattle and farming.
Chen Mu didn't know what changes Lin Fucheng had experienced, from a dignified grandmaster to such a world-weary old man, he just gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Rather be a peace dog, don't be chaotic and leave people, if you have a choice, who doesn't want to study in peace? But now that I'm still alive like this, can I still live like this? ”
As soon as Chen Mu asked, Lin Fucheng was also silent.
His father and brother were killed, his mother was grief-stricken, Chen Mu can be said to be ruined, and now his revenge has not been avenged, how can he live like an ordinary person without heart and lungs?
Lin Fucheng is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, half a lifetime of vicissitudes, looking back on the past, he has his own feelings, but if he puts himself in his shoes and changes his role and identity, I am afraid that he will not be able to do better.
Things in the world are always easier said than done, easy to say for yourself, easy to say for others, but difficult to do.
With the help of Prussiantown, if Chen Muruo wants to study abroad, it is indeed possible, and with his heart and brain, it is not difficult to live a happy life.
But if he leaves behind the great enmity of his father and brother, then he has lost himself and his most fundamental belonging, how can he be regarded as a person?
Chen Mu has already tried to figure out that Lin Fucheng really cares about him, maybe he has a great friendship with his father Chen Qiyou, but these are no longer important.
Chen Mu gently brushed away He Huyong's blade, took Sun Youlin and Qingzi, and walked out of the house, but seeing the cold moon rising, the cold stars appearing, and the autumn wind gradually rising, it was also a gloomy, and it was inevitable that some sadness came from it.
Perhaps, as Lin Fucheng said, he has to rely on himself in the end, the more he asks for help, the more human affection is involved, but in the martial arts, isn't the most important thing to pay attention to is human relationships?
To put it bluntly, Lin Fucheng still doesn't want Chen Mu to set foot in the rivers and lakes, this is also a good intention, Chen Mu feels it.
Seeing that Chen Mu's face was ugly and quite lost, Sun Youlin couldn't bear it, pondered for a moment, and suggested to Chen Mu.
"Er Shao, when the brothers stepped on the point earlier, they found that there were a few cowsheds and haystacks on the west side, why don't we put a fire to extinguish our anger!"
In fact, Chen Mu understood what Sun Youlin meant, he was by no means so simple as wanting to be discouraged.
This is He Huyong's private house, Chen Muruo set a fire, even if it was just a burning cowshed and haystack, it did not hurt anyone, but the movement was not small, and some people would talk about it at that time.
Sun Youlin released the news again, saying that Chen Mu burned He Huyong's private house, so everyone will know that Chen Mu and the patrol battalion are not in the same group, which can be regarded as clearing Chen Mu's identity, and he is not afraid that the heroes of the Jianghu martial arts will not get close to Chen Mu.
Thinking about it this way, Sun Youlin should also know that He Huyong sent the foundation stone, and it was also a weasel to greet the chickens for the New Year, so he didn't have any good intentions at all.
Chen Mu knew that even if he burned the cowshed and haystacks, He Huyong would not pursue it, but he didn't want to do it.
Mixed in the rivers and lakes, each has its own ability, some people take the underworld, some people rely on the officialdom, such as the dart game, both need the help of friends in the green forest, but also need the support of the government, this is a typical example of black and white.
If the old department of Hong Shuntang, if other martial arts people, need Chen Mu to clear up the relationship with the patrol battalion before they dare to come to take refuge, then why should such a person be accepted?
Everyone naturally has a purpose in doing things, but what Chen Mu wants is brothers and sisters who can entrust their lives, because interests are gathered in one place, no different from bandits, he needs people who can give sincerity and don't care about personal gains and losses.
People who are too utilitarian, don't do it.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu shook his head and said to Sun Youlin: "Forget it, if you put this fire, it will be even more intelligible." ”
is also telling the truth, if it comes to the ability to mix the rivers and lakes, Sun Youlin is much smarter than Chen Mu, and he has a lot of experience.
But many times, Sun Youlin is willing to obey Chen Mu's arrangement, not because Chen Mu's views are unique, but because since he recognizes Chen Mu's status, he should obey his command, which is Sun Youlin's way of trustworthiness.
They are all rootless, wandering on the rivers and lakes, although they are from famous families, they are good, but no one dares to accept them, they can only fight alone, and they have a very unbearable past.
Joining Hong Shuntang, they finally have a place to settle down, and for this alone, Sun Youlin and the others should be grateful to Chen Mu.
Although Hong Shuntang has fallen apart, its reputation is still there, and the others don't talk about it, just talking about this time, I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes falsely claimed to be Hong Shuntang's old department, and ganged up everywhere, and in just a few months, more than a dozen Hong Shuntang rudders appeared.
This shows the status and weight of Hong Shuntang in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes.
Chen Mu is indeed poor and white now, and the people of Hong Shuntang do not support this young master, but Sun Youlin sees infinite potential in Chen Mu, since he chooses to believe in Chen Mu, he must go on unswervingly!
His mind flashed, Chen Mu also saw it in his eyes, gently patted Sun Youlin's shoulder and said: "With your help, where are you still worried about big things, there is no need to find these backers, let's rely on ourselves!" ”
Chen Mu's words were a bit juvenile, but Sun Youlin was not very old, and he was also enthusiastic when he heard it, and he did not have the arrogance and arrogance of being ambitious.
Seeing Sun Youlin nodding in agreement, Chen Mu also smiled slightly, and the three of them stepped on the night road and returned to the construction site.
At this time, the Chen family's house had begun to take shape, although Chen Mu kept saying that it was about to be completed, in fact, it was much worse.
Although an agreement was reached with Xu Guanxi, the left minister, Chen Mu no longer mentioned the inheritance and division of private property, and Xu Guanxi paid Chen Mu to repair the house, without any pressure in terms of financial resources, but Li Gudong had high requirements for the house, and many materials needed to be purchased from other places, which also delayed for a long time.
Thinking of Xu Guanxi, Chen Mu also smiled bitterly, an elder of the torture hall He Huyong, an uncle of the left minister Xu Guanxi, and the old man in Hong Shuntang, they didn't seem to be optimistic about him Chen Mu, and they didn't have the slightest support.
Chen Mu actually understands that he has never interfered in the affairs of the gang, and he is like a transparent person in Hong Shuntang, without any sense of existence, and it is impossible to get these people to support him.
Although when his father was at his funeral, there were also people who saw him off on the long street, and he also received support for repairing the house, but most of these supports came from the father and brother's surviving reputation, not because of him Chen Mu.
After understanding this, Chen Mu felt a little better, what he wanted to do was not to inherit his father's and brother's inheritance, but to inherit their legacy, and create another industry of his own, which also belonged to his father and brother's glory!
In addition, wanting to rely on others, this idea has been abandoned by Chen Mu.
Thinking about this, Chen Mu also suddenly became enlightened, although there was some pressure, but it also brought a strong motivation!
Chen Mu also withdrew his attention because of this, and thought about what he wanted to do next.
It's calm for the time being, but the International Skills Tournament is not far off, and he wants to defeat Mon Mo Longsi in the ring and avenge Honggu, which is difficult to do with his current strength.
The affairs of the house are handled by Li Gudong and Hebo, and there is no need for Chen Mu to bother at all, and now there is still a period of time, why not use it to improve personal strength?
Thinking like this, Chen Mu couldn't sleep, and he didn't have to wait until tomorrow, so he came to the outside of Sun Youlin's shed.
"It's so late, what's going on?" Sun Youlin is not a sleepy person, he wanders on the rivers and lakes, and he is the most alert at night, because the night is the most dangerous time, so he usually sleeps very lightly and sleeps very little, which seems to have become his habit.
Chen Mu didn't hide it, and said to him: "There is still a period of time before the fight, I want to find a place to retreat and practice martial arts, and you will be fully responsible for the affairs here, brothers must keep an eye on the movements of the consulate, and you can't let go of every move of Meng Moronxi......"
"As for He Huyong and Xu Guanxi, you can leave it alone for the time being, and if there is no emergency, don't look for me."
Sun Youlin also knew that with Chen Mu's current strength, it was far from enough to take advantage of him in the ring, so he nodded and said.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
After getting Sun Youlin's promise, Chen Mu was relieved, took a pair of knives from the shed, and walked on the night road with stars and moons.
As for where he was going to retreat, Chen Mu didn't say, and Sun Youlin didn't ask, but they knew very well in their hearts.
Because there's only one place you can go.
