The night was long, and it looked like there was no end.

There were four people left in the house, two alive and two dead.

Even the living, who seemed to have lost signs of life, sat in their chairs, huddled in a ball, motionless, almost indistinguishable from the dead except for breathing.

When it was almost dawn, Qiao Da slowly raised his head, the head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, just the action of raising his head, it took a long, long time, Qiao Da seemed to hear the sound of the bones in his neck clicking, like a rusty chain.

"Old Five, you go and call the third and sixth children to the council hall, and then inform the dart board, and after an hour, hold a dart board meeting, and everyone must participate." Qiao Da's voice was hoarse and dry.

Qiao Wu raised his head and looked at the boss in a complicated way, this night, Qiao Da has changed a lot, and his face seems to have aged ten years overnight, especially the haggard look on his face, which makes people feel pitiful.

Qiao Wu agreed softly, stood up, and walked slowly towards the door, he may be thinking about how he would explain if the third and sixth children asked.

"Fifth child, go and call Qiao Zhong and have a meeting with the third and sixth children." Qiao Da added.

"Okay, big brother." Qiao Wu paused for a moment and continued to walk out.

After two pillars of incense.

Sanjiang Dart Bureau Council Hall.

Boss Qiao sat at the top, the third Chen Qi and the sixth Xu Mengyuan sat on the left side, and Qiao Wu and Qiao Zhong sat on the right side.

Except for Qiao Da and Qiao Wu, no one knew the reason why the boss called them, and they couldn't help but look at each other, suspicious in their hearts.

Qiao Da sat upright and didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and said to everyone: "You are all my most important people, there is a brother who I have fought side by side and my head is on the ground, and my son, today, I am going to announce a decision here, please abide by it." ”

"Big brother, are you going to talk about it when the second and fourth brothers come?" The sixth said tentatively.

"Don't wait, that's what I'm saying to you." Joe shook his head.

"This dart game will be in charge of the third Chen Qi from today, and the sixth will assist the third child in management, Qiao Zhong and his descendants, from today onwards, have nothing to do with the dart game, and will never take a penny from the dart game." Qiao Da said slowly.

"Big brother?"

"Daddy?"

Everyone was shocked, looked at each other, stood up together, and looked at Qiao Da with amazement.

Qiao Da didn't explain, and continued: "Qiao Wu, you and Qiao Zhong, by the way, take that Yunqi with you, go to Fujian with Mr. Xu, be self-reliant over there, start from scratch, and never have any contact with the dart game again." ”

Qiao Wu lowered his head and agreed, as if he had expected it.

Qiao Zhong heard his father say a few days ago that he wanted him to go to Fujian and find Mr. Xu to learn some skills, it turned out that his father seemed to have arranged the sixth uncle, why is it now replaced by the fifth uncle? He didn't dare to ask in person, thinking to himself that he would ask his father after the meeting was over.

Today's Qiao Da is very strange, he often speaks before and after, and every time he speaks, it seems to be very difficult, but no one dares to ask.

After a pause, Qiao Da continued: "The third child, the second child still has some properties outside, do you know this?" ”

Chen Qi's body shook, he didn't know how to answer, his eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to meet the boss's eyes.

"The third, don't hide it, I already know about it, I don't blame you, I can only blame me for not discussing it with everyone, you have to take care of these industries, especially you can't forget the contributions of the second and fourth children, you know?" Qiao Da said with a pleasant face.

"Big brother, I will." Chen San replied with a fist.

"Big brother, I see that your complexion is a little wrong, are you sick?" The sixth child asked puzzledly, he had always felt that the eldest brother was very strange today.

Qiao Da shook his hand and said weakly: "I'm fine, you must hear what I want to say next, especially Qiao Zhong." ”

"Yes." Qiao Zhong nodded in agreement.

"I Qiao Wencheng has been in the rivers and lakes for 40 years, experienced countless storms, in the face of difficulties and steel knives, I have never felt afraid, and I have never thought of retreating, because I have a group of trustworthy brothers, when I rush forward, I can give you the back at ease, and it is precisely because of you that the Sanjiang Dart Bureau can go all over the north and south of the river, and there is the current situation." Qiao Da didn't know why, and suddenly told the story, which made the next few very surprised.

"However, as I retreated into the background and ignored the affairs of the dart bureau, I changed, I am far away from you, although it seems that I am tending to flowers and plants every day, and I have no quarrel with the world, and I look indifferent, but I actually did not really achieve self-cultivation, but went to the opposite." Joe sighed.

"Big brother, you will always be our big brother, why did you say this." Chen San said hurriedly.

"No, I don't deserve to be your big brother, because I have suspicion in my heart, just last night, I made a fatal mistake, this mistake made me die, I am now remorseful, I really wish I could turn back time, I can make up for all these mistakes, but it is no longer possible." Joe's eyes looked at the sky with wide eyes, and there seemed to be tears swirling in his eyes, and he tried not to let them fall.

Look at me, and I will look at you, and say nothing.

"If you do something wrong, you must be punished accordingly, this is what my father warned me when I was young, I remember clearly, when I was young, every time I did something wrong, my father would take a tree stick and say to me, everything has its rules, if you do something wrong, you should have the courage to bear it, otherwise you will always be a coward, so today I also have to pay my own price for what I did wrong yesterday." Qiao Da slowly stood up.

Qiao Wu suddenly had a bad premonition, he stood up suddenly, took two steps forward, and said to Qiao Daodao in a dumb voice: "Big brother~~"

Qiao Da waved his hand at him, smiled at everyone, and said, "It's not too early, and the dart masters are also in a hurry, let's go over together." ”

Full of doubts, followed behind Qiao Da, came to the hall, at this time, the whole dart board of the dart masters are sitting there, a few are whispering, the rest of the faces are sad, they know that this dart game has compensated a large amount of silver, I heard that the sale of countless properties, the current dart game is just a shelf, maybe this meeting, is their last meeting in the dart board, after the meeting, each person will receive more or less severance pay, and then, everyone goes their own way.

The atmosphere in the room is very oppressive.

After Qiao Da led the brothers to sit down, he first announced the candidate for the new chief dart, everyone was very surprised, it turned out that Qiao Lao dart head was not going to disband the dart game, it seemed that he wanted to continue to do it, it turned out that Mr. Fan dart head was not doing well, why did it suddenly change to Chen dart?

For unknown reasons, the dart masters whispered to each other, asking for news.

Qiao Da coughed lightly, raised his right hand and pressed it down, and the discussion stopped. Qiao Dadao: "Brothers, you also know that our dart bureau is currently encountering unprecedented difficulties, if there is a want to leave, we will release severance pay, if you are willing to break with Chen Qi Chen darthead, of course the dart game is welcome, if you choose to stay, please be sure to work together to tide over the difficulties, I believe that the difficulties will pass sooner or later, we have encountered countless greater difficulties than this, and we have passed safely, this time I believe it is no exception." ”

"Please rest assured that we will work together to tide over the difficulties and live up to the trust of Qiao Dart." The dart masters replied violently.

Qiao Da smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over the eyes of the dart masters, very slowly, very carefully, his warm expression infected everyone, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but straighten their waists.

"You are all my good brothers, and now I want to say a second thing to you." Qiao paused for a moment, as if he was making up his mind, "Your Fan Zong Dart Head and Nie Dart Head were killed by me just last night." ”

Boom, all the dart masters opened their mouths wide and let out a burst of exclamation, staring left and right in disbelief, all wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Qiao Zhong stood up with a snort and said to Qiao Da: "Dad, are you confused, why are you talking nonsense?" ”

Qiao Da smiled bitterly: "Last night, I made a big mistake and killed the second and fourth children by mistake, so I summoned everyone here today just to explain this matter to you, and at the same time, to give you an explanation." ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Da suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and inserted it into his heart.

"Total Dart Head ......"

"Daddy......"

"Big Brother ......"

Countless people were shocked, stood up and rushed forward, trying to save Old Qiao's dart.

Qiao Wu and the third child, who were closest to each other, grabbed the eldest brother's arm left and right, but they didn't dare to move, the dagger was deeply inserted into the chest, only the handle of the knife was left, and the blood had not yet flowed out, Qiao Da's muscles were trembling all over his body, but a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he said to Qiao Wu: "Qiao Zhong, this child will be handed over to you, you take care of him for me." ”

Qiao Wu cried bitterly and nodded again and again.

Qiao Da said to Qiao Zhong again: "It's me who is sorry for your second uncle and fourth uncle, I'm sorry for the dart game, some mistakes can't be made, and if you make them, you can only pay them back with your life, you remember, the dart game doesn't owe our Qiao family, we owe the dart game, if your second uncle and fourth uncle's children look for you to avenge you in the future, you can't resist." ”

Qiao Zhong's face was pale, he looked at his father helplessly, and wanted to step forward and pull out the dagger, but he didn't dare.

Qiao Da's strength seemed to be running out, and finally looked at the third child, and said weakly: "Give more money to the second and fourth children, I owe them, you help me repay a little......"

After speaking, his head tilted and passed away suddenly.

"Big Brother ......"

"Daddy......"

A miserable cry sounded, and everyone looked at the old man lying in Qiao Wu's arms, and tears couldn't help but flow out.

This old man, for the dart game, hard work, the name of chivalry spread all over the country, after many hardships and hardships, when he was the most successful, but the dart game was transferred to his brother, dashing, hiding in the small courtyard to raise flowers, planting grass, no quarrel with the world, admired by countless people.

Although he made a big mistake on his deathbed, he did not shy away from it, but paid for it with his own life, his own blood, because he believed that only blood could wash away the mistakes he had made.

Although he was at fault, although he was not tall, in the eyes of everyone in the dart game, this old man was a giant.
