The next afternoon, I returned to the gym with a sack of cash, and under the surprised eyes of many brothers in the gym, I entered the second master's house and threw the sack in front of him.

As for coming back in the afternoon, it was so that the second master could see the news in the morning: when Hanzo came back from the Fengyue Place, he was shot by a masked man, and the body was found in the early morning while patrolling and patrolling.

The scene was naturally faked by the big river. Last night, Peony sneaked into Hanzo's residence and solved Hanzo unknowingly. Dahe then managed to transport the body out and faked it into a "I can do it too" scene.

The second master looked at me and showed a deep smile. But I felt uneasy in his smile.

"Xiaomo," the second master stood up and patted me on the shoulder, "Originally, I thought you were a scholar who didn't even dare to kill chickens, but now I'm really a little impressed." ”

"The second master has won the award, and it is a small honor to be able to share the worries of the second master. If there's nothing else, I'd like to go back and rest first. ”

The second master nodded, "Go, don't come out if you have nothing to do in the past two days, and I'll take you out to see the world when the limelight passes." ”

Looking at the back of my departure, Cheng Erye was thoughtful.

……

Back in the attic, I sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed my face vigorously, my heart was complicated. For the first time in my life, I took someone else's life for my own purposes. Although he is a heinous and bad man, am I qualified to judge him?

Peony didn't know when she appeared beside me, looked at me coldly and said, "What's the matter with your sinful expression?" We've come all the way, and there are still fewer dead? ”

"It's different...... That's to survive, no way. ”

Peony took a sip disdainfully, "I don't have any consciousness at all, what do you choose this path for." Obviously thinking that it was not possible in my mind, and I was obviously unwilling to do it in my heart, but you still gave me instructions without hesitation. Do you know what's the scariest thing about people like us? ”

"What is it?"

"It's someone like you who has a complete separation between 'thoughts' and 'actions'. Because you don't even know what you're going to do when you're crazy! ”

I looked up at the peony in a daze, what kind of thing would I do?

"I just want to quickly gain a foothold in this place, and then have my own power and return to Wanhua City to reunite with my mother and sister. If you follow the ordinary method, it is simply impossible to ......"

Peony said, "That's right. We don't choose our path with a sinful mind; but to take sin when it is to follow the path that has been chosen. Chen Mo, I can kill anyone, but I can't kill the weakness in your heart. ”

Then Peony half-knelt in front of me, reached out and put her hand around my head and buried it in her chest. For the first time, I felt that this girl also had a gentle side, and this warmth made me feel at ease at this time...... It was as if the weight of the sin in my heart had been halved in an instant.

Peony gently stroked my hair and said softly, "In order for you to go down this road, as long as it is alive, I can kill it for you, even if it is ...... It's the gods. ”

"Why...... Why do you do this to me, we are just, meeting in the water. ”

Peony smiled miserably, "People like me will probably go to hell after death, I will." If my sins were to be half of yours, would we go to the same place when we die? ”

"Well, it will!"

……

In this way, I rested in the attic for a few days. That night, Jin Jiu suddenly came to me, this kid has been discharged from the hospital in the past two days, although he is not good, but as long as he doesn't do the general thing, there is no problem at all, and his physical fitness is really beyond my reach.

After chatting casually for a while, he pulled me downstairs to eat. It turned out that in the past two days, the negotiations between the second master and Mr. Shi and the association have also settled, and the matter of Hanzang has directly affected the layout of the association, and the pressure on our Sanhepu area has also been much less. At this time, the second master set up several large tables of wine banquets in the boxing gym to celebrate with his brothers.

Entering the hall of the gym, the second master actually got up and enthusiastically pulled me into his main table, which made me a little flattered. Jin Jiu on the side suddenly cast an envious glance at me.

On the main table, in addition to me and the second master, there are also Mr. Shi, Xiang Ye, Zhang Xincheng, and several old people who are a little older, who are the brothers of the second master. Many of them are disabled, either missing fingers or ears, and even have half of their face sewn up, which is said to have been blown up by shrapnel back then.

And the younger generation at the main table is Zhang Xincheng and me, which is very worth chewing. And Zhang Xincheng looked at me, on the surface, he was still as friendly as before, a kind "little ink", but there was already a trace of imperceptible in his eyes...... Wary.

The second master looked at the two of us with a kind look like his own child, and smiled and joked, "Xiangye, Chen Mo, this kid is good everywhere, but his fist and foot kung fu is really bad." If he had half your demeanor, we would have our own dock in less than two years, believe it or not. ”

Xiang Ye drank all the wine in the cup, laughed and said, "Forget it, second brother, it's not a loss to Chen Mo, it's enough to carry the signboard with Jin Jiu's kid." I can understand the way of the world, not as if I only looked at my fists before, but now I look at my brain. Tell me yourself, do you want to have a few more kids like Chen Mo in the future, or Jin Jiu. ”

The second master also laughed heartily, "Chen Mo and Jin Jiu Yiwen and Yiwu complement each other, and it is really a good start to give me such two promising young people from the Old Dragon Trading House at the beginning of this year...... Haha, it's your young people's world from now on. ”

I smiled all the way and glanced at Zhang Xincheng on the side, his face was red and white for a while. It is estimated that the second master and the elephant master never mentioned him, and the losses suffered by Hanzang made him have a lot of pimples in his heart. I looked at the second master's unfathomable expression, and I couldn't help muttering in my heart, is this old guy going to start balancing?

Just as I was thinking, the second master suddenly spoke to me again, "Chen Mo, there is a New Year's banquet in the New Year's Association, which is specially designed to entertain us cooperative forces, and other representatives of the three major forces will also appear. When the time comes, you can come with me. ”

As soon as the second master said this, Zhang Xincheng's chopsticks shook directly to the ground. I was surprised by his reaction, but when I saw the strange expression of the second master, I seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Xincheng's gaffe. Suddenly, a creepy feeling spread through my heart.

To be reasonable, Jin Jiu and I are both newcomers, and we should follow Zhang Xincheng no matter what. And the second master directly promoted us to his side on the grounds that we are outstanding, what kind of signal is that? He wants to divide Zhang Xincheng and me and Jin Jiu, and the second master doesn't want to completely delegate power to Zhang Xincheng!
