Chapter 52: Informality
I handcuffed the old man and dragged him away, and Liu Shixi walked in front of the girl with a gun.
Listening to the sound of demolition downstairs, I was anxious, although I knew Xiaohua's ability before and didn't worry much, but I also knew that Xiaohua would never be able to beat that middle-aged man out of this kind of movement, there was only one possibility, that is, Xiaohua was being beaten.
Sure enough, the beautiful furnishings downstairs had been reduced to ruins, and when we walked down the stairs, Xiaohua had just smashed a screen into pieces.
"Don't move!" I resisted the pain and shouted, "Mayor Li is in our hands!" ”
The middle-aged man was also embarrassed at the moment, wearing a black robe scattered all over the place, and his face was also torn, and he didn't seem to have much of the upper hand, and when he heard my shouting, he glanced this way, his face changed slightly, and he stopped.
Xiaohua struggled to crawl out of a pile of broken wood, her eyes were red and she had to move, I quickly stopped, "Xiaohua don't fight, what about Gege?" ”
He glared at me when he heard this, and was about to move forward, but he thought he had figured it out and stopped halfway, "Gege? She's not with you? ”
I sighed, Xiaohua, as soon as this guy turned into a Super Saiyan, his brain turned into muscles, how could he rely on us just now to protect the flowers?
But where did Gege go? I looked around and didn't find the shadow of Gege, although there were many pieces of furniture on the ground, there was no place to hide people, only a few screens in the corners of the house were still there, could it be that it was behind there?
"What's wrong with you?" I asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man shook his head arrogantly, as if he was disdainful of answering my question. I was so angry that I slapped Vice Mayor Li in my hand and woke him up, trying to force him.
Sure enough, seeing Vice Mayor Li being slapped on the face by me, the middle-aged man's face changed again, and the girl controlled by Liu Dongxi screamed: "If you dare to do it again, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
"Broken corpses?" I glanced at her disdainfully, "I'm going to break it now, Liu thing, if she dares to move, I'll kill her!" ”
Actually, I'm just talking, but at this time, this thought really suddenly occurred in my heart, and the knife was raised. At this moment, an old voice suddenly came to mind in the room, "This girl is here, don't embarrass Lao Zhang!" ”
Lao Zhang? Who is Lao Zhang? I looked at Liu Shi, he was also at a loss, who is this talker?
Hearing this voice, the middle-aged man was the first to move, dodging and disappearing behind the screen, and after a moment removed the screen.
Inside the screen is a low hardwood couch, flanked by several wooden piers, one of which is a large tea sea steaming, and a kettle sits on a small charcoal stove next to it. Gege sat on a wooden pier, and across from her sat an old man in gray.
It was he who spoke just now, and I saw that this person was wearing a gray trouser gown, with a ruddy complexion, crane hair and silver beard, and he was surprisingly in good spirits, and he was leisurely carrying a small kettle and scalding a cup at the moment, and he didn't look this way at all.
At this time, I suddenly had the sense of crisis when I met Er Li outside the city, and I thought to myself, this one in my hand may be Lao Zhang, and the real Lao Li is still playing tea there!
Just at this thought, the gray-clothed old man suddenly looked up at me, and then lowered his head and busied himself, "Young man, let Lao Zhang come over and sit?" ”
"Don't go!" I said in a hard tone, "What are we going to do if we let him go?" ”
"Huh!" The old man in gray poured the water for washing tea on the tea pet in the middle of the tea sea, "You give Lao Zhang to your friend, that chubby-faced little brother!" ”
I glanced at Liu Dongxi and knew that the so-called fat-faced little brother was talking about him, although this guy had a very thin face, but now he was swollen like a pig's head. I don't know if this old man really didn't see it or deliberately sarcastic, anyway, Liu Dongfu was angry. I saw that he was going to be angry, so I hurriedly made a gesture at him, this old Zhang in my hand is at most a bodyguard leader, and the weight is not big at all, but Gege is in his hands, the situation is stronger than people, it is better not to anger him.
"Okay, let's talk." I threw Lao Zhang at Liu's feet and strode over, Xiaohua had already come over and stepped on Lao Zhang!
The old man in gray frowned, didn't say anything, and I sat down with a big sword, and the blood on my shoulder was dripping down.
This guy looks like the kind of person who is proficient in the tea ceremony, his hands are not very fast, but there is a feeling of flowing water, the temperature of the water seems to be just right, and there is no trace of excess breath in the action. Not long after, a cup of golden tea soup was placed in front of me.
"Taste it!" The old man in gray said.
"It's not poisonous, is it?" I asked, while drinking the tea in the tea cup in one gulp, a mellow tea fragrance mixed with a slightly sweet flower gas went straight down, dissipating to the limbs, I was refreshed, praised: "Good tea!" ”
"Good tea is naturally non-toxic, otherwise wouldn't it be a mistake for the fragrance of tea?" The old man in gray said indifferently.
It's so connotative! I thought to myself, this kind of person is the worst. "I haven't asked you ...... yet"
"My name is Li Er, they may think my name is vulgar and don't want to call me by my name, and I don't want to change my name, so I have to let them call me Er Li!" The old man laughed.
I have a sense of absurdity in my heart, virus Zhang said that it was two deputy mayors, and what kind of three-person group, plus the name Er Li, I always thought it meant two people, but I didn't expect that these two Li were one person!
"Long admiration, long admiration, you have a good calculation, pretending to escape outside, sending people to stop you inside, but you are drinking tea here, if it weren't for my luck, I really let you run away, this kind of courage and calculation, I only see it in my life!" I said with a slight smile.
"It's not luck, if you weren't a friend, you wouldn't have found me." Er Li smiled and drank the teacup in his hand, "The young man dares to lead a few people to fight back, I have only seen such courage in my life!" ”
"Human nature, I'm different from you!" I smiled and got to the point, "You're the one who kidnapped?" ”
"It's not!"
"Those thugs are your men?"
"It's not!"
"The bomb in my car is you?"
"It's not!"
I didn't expect him to deny it completely, and I was so angry that I couldn't speak.
"Young man, are you done asking?" Erli asked, without waiting for me to answer, and then asked, "I want to know, why did you come to me back?" ”
Isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief? "Old man, don't pretend to be confused, if you hadn't me three times in one night, how would I have come to your house?"
"Hehe, courage is commendable...... Er Li laughed, lowered his head and tasted tea, and stopped talking.
Since he stopped talking, I also calmed down. The upper part of my shoulder began to heal, and I could feel the new tissue inside pushing the bullet outward little by little, and the blood flowed more abundantly, and the shoulder was itchy and unspeakably uncomfortable. After three or five minutes, the warhead was finally pushed out, and when it fell to the ground with a thud, the silence was broken.
Er Li looked up at me in surprise, and finally spoke: "It seems that you have more secrets than I thought, and you are also one of them?" With that, he pointed to the middle-aged man beside him.
I knew in my heart that this middle-aged man must be a King Kong when he talked to Xiaohua like that, so I shook my head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, but I just have some adventures!" ”
Er Li said: "Actually, tonight's incident, although I didn't do it, but I know about it." ”
"Who are you not?" I asked.
"I can't say who it is, but you shouldn't be a reckless person, and you must have taken all possibilities into account when making this decision. Let me guess, are you worried that I'm tired of the momentum and will always be forced to attack you, so you strike first? ”
Erli put my psychology into a point, which made me feel frustrated, thought about it and said: "What you said is right, if it wasn't you who did it, I was also forced to helpless......"
"It's all the same!" Er Li waved his hand, "I'm ready to deal with your people, you come a little later, and they will set off!" ”
I smiled, I wasn't too convinced, I had no momentum at all, and I had to press back, "It's the same whether you come or not, even if you don't have these things tonight, I'll come to you!" ”
"Oh?" Er Li showed a look of surprise, "It's not that I'm boasting, I've been operating this place for decades, not to mention anything else, the deep foundation is beyond your imagination, and you are new to the city, although your strength is not good, but you are far from being a strong dragon, how dare you argue with me, an old snake?" ”
"Mayor Li is wrong!" I smiled, "If things are uneven, then Ming, although I don't have any skills, but I also have a few heroic bones, the epidemic people outside the city are going to be destroyed under your hands, I just want to find justice for them!" ”
"Chivalrous? Chivalrous and benevolent? Interesting. Er Li laughed, and he couldn't drink the tea.
"Excuse me, I don't know what's so funny about that? You see you're laughing so hard that you're dying! I coldly interrupted him.
"You're still young, I understand!" Er Li stopped laughing, "Don't say anything else, let me ask you first, tonight's battle, you killed five people on my roof, twelve sentry guards, eleven guards, and one driver, Lao Zhang is so old that you smack his mouth, these people have small families, and they are not at fault, this is what you call chivalrous?" ”
I was about to speak, but he waved his hand again to interrupt, "I haven't finished speaking, you tricked the guards into sneaking here, whether it works out or not, those guards must be a crime of dereliction of duty, how many families have been ruined in one fell swoop, have you ever counted?" Tonight, after a fight, the big and small forces in the city surfaced, and the open fire was fighting, never dying, have you ever thought about the cause in the city? Is this your chivalrous bone? ”
Er Li's mood has not changed, the teacup in his hand is still stable, but I was forced by his questioning to stir in my heart, I don't know how to explain, what kind of helper should be like this, those who become big things are not informal, these excuses seem so pale to me, they are not enough to explain anything at all.
"Nothing more?" Er Li put down the teacup, "Those who become big things are not informal, you can't let go of this?" ”
"It's not a disaster to others, I think I'm wrong!" I replied.
Er Li seemed to be choked, "Let's not talk about this for now, aside from who is right and who is wrong, we can talk about other things." ”
