Chapter 15: Give you a bite to eat

Huo Laosi would never have thought that the person who was calculated by the boss would come back alive.

There was meat for today's dinner, it seems that the boss is not bad to Huo Laosi's family, at least he gave a reward for buying meat. Su Ren hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and eating meat in Dahan is definitely a luxury. Beef cannot be eaten, and it is a sin to eat it. No one eats pork, it's too dirty, and only mutton or game caught in the woods is edible meat.

Su Ren didn't dislike it, and took out a piece of meat from a basin and stuffed it into his mouth. It's mutton, and the taste is really unpalatable, and after the faint salt taste, the smell of mutton is left. Su Ren immediately spit out: "So unpalatable? How do you do it, it tastes terrible, right? I was a smuggled salt seller, and I didn't even put more salt. ”

Huo Laosi immediately knelt on the ground, lying on the ground and kowtowing constantly. The woman next to her hugged her two children and sobbed. It seems that she also knows that her husband has offended people who should not be offended.

"The villain really has no choice, so he has to take risks in order to survive, and I ask the two sons to forgive me, and ask the two sons to spare my lover and two children." Huo Laosi lay on the ground, and his voice was crying: "I, Huo Laosi, do things by myself, and I can do whatever my son wants, I just ask Gongzi to take pity on my children and don't care about them." ”

Su Ren still had a smile on his face, watching Huo Laosi lying on the ground and kowtowing, his forehead, which was not good yesterday, broke again in two strokes.

"You're a man, too! Get up! ”

Huo Laosi trembled, and back and forth was two words of sparing his life, kneeling on the ground and not daring to get up.

"Get up!" Su Ren took a few cases, and Huo Laosi's women and children cried loudly. Su Ren had a dark face: "Grandpa, I'm here to take revenge today, you kid actually betrayed us, okay!" See who's picking up whom? Even eating meat, do you think grandpa is dead? With a kick, he kicked the two clay pots on the ground, spilling the gravy and vegetable soup on the ground.

Huo Laosi stood up tremblingly, his muscles were loose and saggy, and he didn't mean to be strong at all. He glanced back at the woman and the child next to him: "I'm sorry for you, after I die, you can take the child and remarry!" ”

The woman cried even more fiercely, and threw down the two children and threw them at Su Ren's feet: "Childe, please let us go, my husband really has no choice, but if there is a way, he will not dare to murder his son, please, just spare my husband, if you want to die, I will die for my husband." ”

The woman swooped down and slammed into the pillar beside her. The cold eyes quickly grabbed it.

Su Ren has never been a villain, he originally wanted to scare this Huo Laosi, learning from the appearance of those bullies on TV, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect Huo Laosi's wife to really die. The vulgar taste is gone in an instant. In front of me is a family of four, busy every day for life, in the eyes of others they are a group of ants, in order to survive, there is a little chance will be desperate to climb up, often the result is not good. It's like this time, Huo Laosi really didn't have the intention of murdering Su Ren and Leng Jun, but just became a victim of Su Ren and Liu Wen's fight.

"Alright, alright! You're really dead! Is Lao Tzu the kind of bully who forces people to death? Su Ren was a little impatient, and he didn't dare to stimulate these two little people anymore.

"Come here!" Su Ren beckoned to Huo Laosi, sat on the wooden pier on the side, I don't know when, there were two more baked cakes in his hand, which were the leftovers they ate in the afternoon. Carrying the baked cakes, he dangled in front of the eyes of the two children, and smiled: "Eat, kick your dinner, this is compensation." ”

The two children were already trembling with fright, looking at the baked cakes and wanting to take them but not daring, a pair of small eyes kept looking at Huo Laosi behind Su Ren.

"What? Don't eat? Rest assured, there's no poison in it! ”

Huo Laosi nodded at the two children. Only then did the two children grab the baked cakes and gnaw wildly, with tears on their faces.

Su Ren smiled, these two children reminded him of his little nephew, and that kid was the same, as long as there was something delicious when he cried, he stopped immediately, and smiled with tears on his face.

"Say? How much did that boss of yours do you good? Let me also hear how much money you can murder two people. ”

Huo Laosi hurriedly dug out a clay pot from under the stove: "Gongzi Mingjian, I really don't want to murder you, the boss gave me ten money, just let me lead you there, I don't know anything else." ”

"Only ten dollars? The lives of the two of us are worth ten dollars? Su Ren sighed: "He's too damn cheap." ”

Huo Laosi shrank his head and held the clay pot in his hand, as if he was afraid that Su Ren would snatch it from him.

Su Ren said: "I'll give you twenty yuan, you go and call your boss over now, just say that I have something to find him, if he doesn't come, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Huo Laosi didn't move. He didn't want to go, whether it was Su Ren or their boss, in Huo Laosi's eyes, he was a big man. Their boss controls all the private salt in Wenshui County, and this Su Ren can still get out of the prison cell, nothing like this has ever happened before. Although Huo Laosi is rude, he is not stupid. can see his weight in front of others, and anyone who wants to kill him is like pinching an ant to death.

"What? Don't want to? Do you think I won't kill you? Su Ren's face darkened again.

Huo Laosi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, it's just ......"

"Just what? Still think I'm no match for your boss? Su Ren adjusted his sitting posture and faced Huo Laosi: "To tell you the truth, from today onwards, I will sell salt as official salt, and you have seen my salt, as long as I lower the price a little, not to mention your private salt, even Liu Wen's official salt can't be sold." ”

Su Ren took out the salt voucher and shook it twice in front of Huo Laosi's eyes: "For the sake of you helping me, I want to give you a way to live, since you don't want to, it's very good, Gong Zhang is outside, as long as we get out of this room, the public will come in immediately, what is the crime of selling smuggled salt, you should know very well." ”

"Childe spare his life, I'll go, I'll go!" Huo Laosi completely softened, threw down the jar, got up from the ground and ran out of the door.

Su Ren hurriedly stopped Huo Laosi: "Wait, do you know how to say it?" Tell him that he only needs to come alone, tonight is not yesterday, I have people in this Baihua Alley, he dares to bring people over, and there is no need to talk about this business. ”

"I understand!" Huo Laosi hurriedly went out.

Leng Jun threw the woman to the ground, and the two children crawled into the woman's arms, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried, they could never have imagined that such a disaster would befall them.

Huo Laosi's family is really too poor, maybe that meal of meat is the first time they have eaten meat in their lives. There is no place to buy meat in the entire Wenshui County, and Su Ren also looked at it when he was walking around the county. I don't know where Huo Laosi's meat came from.

waited until the third watch, Huo Laosi limped back, his head was swollen like a pig's head, and there was blood in his nose. Covering his eyes with one hand, his tongue is not very sharp.

"Childe, the boss said he wouldn't come!"

Su Ren smiled: "I guessed this." He took out twenty coins from his sleeve and threw them on the ground: "Whether he comes or not, your task is completed, and the twenty coins are yours." ”

Huo Laosi hurriedly shook his head. Su Ren looked at Huo Laosi's pig-headed appearance and felt funny. This guy is still a sincere person, if he is a treacherous person, he must go out for a walk, and then come back to tell himself that the boss is not coming. Even the most stupid person should know that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Su Ren and the boss have already started a war, and as the boss of the smuggled salt seller, he will definitely not take risks and will definitely not come under the so-called advantage. Huo Laosi was beaten like this, which shows that he must have gone to see the boss.

Su Ren said to Huo Laosi: "Since you don't come, then don't blame me for having a black hand, Huo Laosi, give you a discount, you can sell my salt, blatantly sell it, three dollars a pound of salt, forget it in the city, you can sell it as you want in the nearby mountain villages, do you want to do it?" ”

Huo Laosi was stunned for a moment, covered his face with one hand, and looked at Su Ren with his swollen eyes. He was a little hesitant, he used to sell smuggled salt secretly, and the price and location were agreed by the boss, and he struggled hard for a month, and in the end it was only enough for a family of four to eat. What Su Ren gave him was a chance, Su Ren's salt was good, and the price was low, even if he didn't increase the price, he still had a balance of two dollars. I don't sell much every month, but I sell four or five catties, which is enough for the family to eat and wear.

But Huo Laosi was also scared in his heart. He knows best what the boss is, he has been messing around with the boss for so many years, and anyone who is disobedient is either dead or missing, and he doesn't want to disappear without knowing it. The whole family is counting on him.

Su Ren knew Huo Laosi's difficulties, and patted Huo Laosi on the shoulder: "I will never do things absolutely, just let you go to your boss, it was really to give him a way to live, he didn't want to, now I will also give you a way to live, you have to think clearly, if you follow your boss to the dark, don't say I didn't remind you, I'm afraid that in a few months, your family will drink the northwest wind." ”

Huo Laosi didn't speak, and he was still struggling in his heart.

Su Ren nodded: "Okay, in that case, I don't have to be strong, so you can do it yourself!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door with a cold hand.

"Childe stays!"

Su Ren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I came tonight to want to pull the fourth child into the gang, whether it is Su Ren who is an outsider, or Leng Jun, who grew up in Lao Junguan, both of them are blind. In Wenshui County, apart from Huo Laosi, Su Ren really didn't know anyone else who sold salt. If Huo Laosi joins, their official salt trading will definitely occupy the market soon.

Su Ren turned his head and looked at Huo Laosi. Huo Laosi knelt on the ground with a puff: "If Gongzi doesn't dislike it, I, Huo Laosi, will follow Gongzi from now on. ”

Su Ren hurriedly helped Huo Laosi up, and laughed: "Okay, with your help, our official salt trade will definitely be prosperous." ”
