Xiao Zhenlei asked Hu Weishan and others to stay and take care of Ma Hanlong, and wait for Ma Hanlong's injuries to get a little better before going to work with him, Hu Weishan thinks that it doesn't take care of Ma Hanlong There are five people, just leave two people, and the other three people will follow Xiao Zhenlei from now on to do things, saying that although these heroes are some masters who lick blood with knives, they are very heroic, affectionate, and trustworthy, which are important reasons why Xiao Zhenlei values these people very much.

Hu Weishan seemed more authoritative in front of the other four people, he ordered a brother named Wu Siyou and a brother named Cai Wei to take care of Ma Hanlong in the hospital, and he took two other brothers named Zhou Chuandong and Wu Shirong to follow Xiao Zhenlei, as if they were Xiao Zhenlei's personal bodyguards.

After leaving the ward where Ma Hanlong was, Xiao Zhenlei was going to see Opiyin, a foreign devil, although Opiyin was not a real boxer, but he was physically strong, had a lot of brute strength, and he had been in the ring in Shanghai for so long, and he was also very famous, Xiao Zhenlei wanted to hire this person under his banner to scare those officials of the Qing Dynasty, so as not to run a factory and do business in the future, those Qing Dynasty officials came to eat and take cards every day, and there were a few foreigners around, and those corrupt officials did not dare to mess around.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei stopped and turned back to Hu Weishan and said, "Brother Hu, I have something I want to ask you for help with, I don't know ......?" ”

Hu Weishan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiao ...... The owner has something to do, please command! ”

Hu Weishan obviously also realized that he couldn't call Xiao Zhenlei a brother anymore, after all, he and several brothers were now following Xiao Zhenlei to do things, so it was better to be interesting and put himself and other brothers in a good position, so as not to gossip about others.

"Brother Hu doesn't have to be like this, we will still be called brothers in the future!" Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said: "That's the case, I think that the foreigner Opiyin has a lot of strength, and it is not a problem to deal with the usual three or five Great Khans, and he is a foreigner, and he is also a little famous in this ten-mile foreign field, I am ready to take him under his banner to do things, those officials in Zhenyi Town, if there are people in the yamen who come to us to find trouble, we can let Opiyin come forward to send it away, presumably the people in the yamen see that there are foreigners around us, and it will not be too difficult, of course I will not let him bully ordinary people, I can guarantee this, So I want to ask you to stop being hostile to Opiin when you see him, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Hu Weishan thought about it and nodded: "Okay, Dongjia!" As long as he stops bullying ordinary people and lets him bully the officials, we are glad! Since we have to do things together in the future, of course I and the other brothers will no longer be hostile to him, but with Brother Ma, I dare not guarantee it! ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Brother Ma, I'll go and tell him, eh, why did you call me the owner again?" Let's still be called brothers in the future! ”

Hu Weishan is very knowledgeable, he saw that Xiao Zhenlei insisted on keeping the previous title, and he didn't want to leave a handle on people, so he changed his title, "Then I'll call you Mr." Isn't it customary for people here to be called that? I've heard that foreigners call it that."

Xiao Zhenlei was made to cry and laugh, worried that he didn't know what Hu Weishan would call himself if he continued like this, so he had to call him whatever he wanted.

When he came to the ward where Opi Yin lived, Goudan was sitting on the wooden bench at the door of the ward and napping, Xiao Zhenlei patted him on the shoulder, Goudan woke up and saw that it was Xiao Zhenlei who quickly wiped his eyes and stood up and said, "Sir, are you here?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and asked, "What happened to the foreigners?" ”

Dog Dan seems to be particularly reluctant to take care of Opiyin, if it weren't for Xiao Zhenlei to let him here, it is estimated that he would not be willing to serve a foreign devil to death, he was dissatisfied: "Two days after entering this ward, this foreigner has no, and he just mutters about eating meat, according to me, sir, you should have beaten him harder at that time, so that he can't get off the ground for a few months!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" After reprimanding the dog, Xiao Zhenlei turned around and walked to the door of the ward and pushed the door in, while the others stayed outside and waited.

Opiyin was half-lying on the hospital bed, munching on bananas, and there was a large pile of fruit on the table, which was obviously bought by dogs, and it is estimated that no one else in Shanghai would buy these things for Opiyin.

Seeing Xiao Zhenlei come in, Opiyin was taken aback, hurriedly threw a banana that had eaten half of it, sat up from the half-lying state, and put on a boxing posture, he thought that Xiao Zhenlei was here to find trouble, after all, he was fighting with Xiao Zhenlei in the ring before he fell unconscious.

Xiao Zhenlei turned a blind eye to Opiyin's reaction, took out a pack of cigarettes, shook one out and put it in his mouth, lit it with a match and took a few puffs and said, "Hey, buddy, don't be nervous, if I were not good for you, I wouldn't send you to the hospital for rescue, just let you die in Zhang Yuan, wouldn't you?" ”

Opiyin thought about it and felt that it made sense, slowly put down his fists, and his vigilance against Xiao Zhenlei was also put down, he didn't know what Xiao Zhenlei's purpose was to save him, and said: "Although I was injured by you, but you also saved me, no matter what, I have to thank you, Qingguoren!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "This is the difference between us Chinese and you British, we can fight for life and death in the ring, but it is different when we get out of the ring, after all, there is no personal enmity between us!" Even in the ring, when we know that the other party is powerless to resist, we generally do not continue to attack, after all, life is the most precious! And you went berserk in the ring and killed and maimed my compatriots, many of whom had no ability to resist, so why did you continue to attack without stopping? Don't you think you're barbaric? Don't you British people claim to be civilized? Why such a barbaric act? ”

Opiyin was in a trance after listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words, but then hugged her head and cried bitterly: "Oh, God, please forgive me for my sins!" I don't know why I often go crazy during this time, especially after fighting in the ring, I can't control my feelings, and when I see the other party, I want to tear him to pieces regardless of it? ”

Xiao Zhenlei was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart, could it be that Wolin gave Opiyin some medicine? He hurriedly asked, "Recently?" Haven't you ever been like this when you were in England before you came here? ”

"Yes, sir! I was fine when I was in England, but ever since I heard what Warling guy said and fought in the ring, I often couldn't help but go crazy! As if he had remembered something, Opiyin quickly stopped, and soon asked eagerly, "By the way, what about Wallin?" Where is he? He still owes me two months' salary and doesn't give it to me! ”

Sure enough, it was Wallin's ghost, and it seems that Wallin gave him some drugs without Opiyin's knowledge to make him go crazy in the ring, so that he killed and disabled many Chinese who competed in the ring.

Looking at Opiyin's appearance, Xiao Zhenlei sighed: "I'm afraid you won't get back your two months' salary, because Warin has already run away, after you were defeated by me, he owed me 200,000 taels of silver, I asked him for money, he didn't have money for me, so he could only escape, but Pingfu didn't let him escape, because if he ran away, Pingfu would have to pay me 200,000 taels, Wallin was in a hurry to escape, and shot Pingfu in a hurry, and then fled, the concession patrols are now chasing him, but in my opinion, they will definitely not be able to catch him!" ”

Opiyin was stunned after listening to Xiao Zhenlei's narration, and after a long time, he scolded: "Oh, this damn guy, a vampire cursed by demons, how can he do this? That's two months of my hard-earned money! ”

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "How much salary does he owe you?" ”

"Four pounds for two months' salary!"

"But you now owe me fifty-two taels of silver, about five pounds, all of which are what you have spent in the hospital these days, and you can pay me back five hundreds?" Xiao Zhenlei pretended to ask for money and stretched out his hand.

Opiyin was stupid, embarrassed to show a flattering look and sneered: "Sir, you see that I don't have a penny now, I really don't have the money to pay you back, I don't know if I can wait a few days?" When I am discharged from the hospital, I will find something to do and return the money to you, do you think it is okay? ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and patted his thigh and said: "If you work for others, it is better to work for me to pay off the debt, you see that the monthly salary you work for Wallin is two pounds, you only need to work for me for two and a half months to pay off the debt, of course, I will provide you with food and accommodation during this time, what do you think?" You don't want to pay your debts, do you? ”

Opiyin was startled, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I'm not the kind of person with bad character, I'll definitely pay you back, oh, okay, okay, I promised to work for you, two pounds a month, but you can't force me to go to the ring like Walling, I'm really fed up!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei showed a fox-like smile on his face, reached out to hold Opiyin's hand and shook it and smiled: "Then we will make up our minds, I will let my lawyer come to you to sign an employment contract!" ”
