Chapter 69: Hegemony
The actions of young people are mysterious, and in the crowd, there is nothing like nothing. Taking advantage of the faint light, the dirt roads in Xialong Town were crisscrossed, and there was no plan, the young man dodged like this, and Feng Yuan and Jin Shuo followed behind, a little difficult.
In the flow of people in the block, the two of them are not walking, nor are they running, for fear of attracting attention. And the young man seemed to see through this, and when he was careless and disappeared, and the two of them were at a loss, he appeared again.
"Damn imp." Jin Shuo cursed twice, feeling that if he chased after him like this, he might have to confess here.
Just as they were thinking this, the two noticed that they had spread across the town of Xialong, and left the town from the other side and went to the sea. After about half an hour of chasing like this, it seemed that he had arrived at his destination.
Jin Shuo rested panting, and in front of them there was more fire in front of them, except for the sound of the tide rushing ashore. On closer inspection, it was generally clear that Feng Yuan seemed to be in much better condition than Jin Shuo, and he found that the young man had led them to a wooden house.
The hut looks very old, it is diagonally inserted in the sand, and in order to prevent the tide from rushing into the house, the bottom is made of wooden frames, which looks a little like a stilted building, but it is obviously not very different.
The hut was covered in nets, and if you looked closely, there might be some hooks that shimmered with a faint silver light. It looks like a fish hook, which hangs all over the roof, followed by fishing nets, and the wind and tide along the edge of the waves, ringing like wind chimes.
Feng Yuan stopped, he knew that such a house was quite common by the sea. It is usually the old house of fishing and hunting farmers, but the area around Ha Long Town has been renovated a long time ago, and many of these old houses have been abandoned.
The violent wind and waves rushed towards him, Feng Yuan only felt that his heart began to beat violently, and there was a squeaky sound on the stilts under the cover of the night, and Feng Yuan frowned.
In. The young man's gesture seemed to say so, beckoning to the two of them, leaning on a bamboo pole with a huge net behind his thin waist, which he didn't know whether it was muddy or oily.
Feng Yuan led the way to the house. There was only a dilapidated curtain between the inside and outside of the house, and even through this faded blue cloth, Feng Yuan could glimpse the appearance of the room through the sparse lines. He lifted the cloth, and there were only a few pairs of fish oil eyes in the room, staring at him fiercely.
Jin Shuo, who was following behind Feng Yuan, was taken aback.
It's all kids. The two of them were surprisingly on the same page. The room was leaning against the leaky wall, curled up in the corner of the windowsill, or crawling on the messy floor, all of them, and none of them looked the same in age, but these pairs of eyes stared at each other.
This straight look made Jin Shuo a little hairy.
"This is our secret base." He looked left and right, picked up the curtain with the bamboo pole behind his back, and pretended to enter the house, his voice was a little sharp, it was the young man who led them all the way here, he carefully closed the wooden door outside, and put away the lights of the distant seaside outside.
Jin Shuo felt his heartbeat and pulse rise, and he licked his lips, feeling cracked. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by such a circle of children, and they seemed to have narrowed the scope of the encirclement.
Feng Yuan felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. He had in mind the situation of the welfare home, but it was different.
"Secret base?" Feng Yuan asked unhurriedly.
The young man nodded, with different shades of coal black at the knuckles of his fingers, he swallowed his saliva and looked at Feng Yuan hesitantly.
"You ...... Is it a good guy or a bad guy? His stiff question made Jin Shuo choke for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Is there anything you want to tell us?" Feng Yuan squatted down, his tall body in half, at eye level with the young man.
The young man's gaze was a little hesitant, but the faces of several teenagers on the other side changed color.
"Brother." A young man suddenly jumped on the windowsill, Feng Yuan looked over carefully, the cloth shirt on the young man's body was half rotten, the size was not very suitable, his face was shiny, but there was a wound on his arm. "Show him."
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Jin Shuo on the side really couldn't hold it back, and grabbed the young man's arm, and his eyes keenly noticed the injury on the young man's arm. "If you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't say it, we still have something."
Jin Shuo's gaze swept back and forth over the young man's arm, a little surprised. The wound on the young man's arm was extraordinary, it looked like a hook, and it was deeply bulging in the skin, looking like a relief, and the wound was extended, and the bleeding was blurred, probably the result of the high temperature.
As soon as Jin Shuo wanted to say something, the young man threw his arm away and looked at Jin Shuo angrily.
"You, bad guy." As soon as he said this, the remaining teenagers in the room followed closely and jumped up quickly, and the two of them didn't have time to react, they conveniently grabbed the harpoon and iron hook at hand, and their expressions became even more hideous.
Of course, the spearhead is directed at Feng Yuan and Jin Shuo.
The young man's attitude also changed, and he glared at Feng Yuan.
"Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming here?" Different from the sharp voice just now, Feng Yuan clearly heard that the voice coming out of the young man's throat and eyes became hoarse and low, and this transition from front to back made Feng Yuan realize something.
The bamboo pole in the young man's hand poked at him violently, straight to Feng Yuan's throat, although the chase did not necessarily cut the blade, but according to the throat for such a moment, Feng Yuan himself may not be able to eat, not to mention the group of "wolf cubs" behind him.
"We're just here to do business." Feng Yuan hurriedly explained, Jin Shuo also nodded in agreement, but he didn't expect the sudden change to break out, and he himself fell into passivity, but he was a little overwhelmed by the contrast between the young man and the front and back. "We're merchants, as you can see, didn't you let us follow you? You ......"
Jin Shuo gasped and hurriedly shut his mouth. A semicircular blade with a rusty blade in front of him had reached his throat.
"Brother Feng, think of a way." Jin Shuo was sweating all over his head, and his neck naturally didn't dare to move rashly, so he picked his eyelids and looked at Feng Yuan, but he didn't expect this person to be so calm at this juncture.
Jin Shuo had a guess in his heart, which added several layers of coolness to his heart. Could it be that the shady scene of the fish market that they have been tracking down for a long time happens to be hidden in this small shack?
Thinking of this, Jin Shuo was even more confused.
"Doing business?" The young man's eyes rolled around, and he watched as the faces of the two did not change in the slightest. "Then how do you know our secrets!"
Speaking of the secret, the young man's arms jumped up, and the muscles bulged like balloons.
"Say!" Jin Shuo could clearly see that the young man's coat swelled up with the muscles.
"Secret? Where's the secret? What is this? Jin Shuo's eyes widened, his gaze eagerly swept back and forth, he really didn't know what secrets these children who were not half as tall as themselves could have.
What's more, he knew it all too well in his own heart
, They came to this Xialong Town, and it was only the second day, how could there be any secrets?
"Oh, the secret." Feng Yuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't mean to rebel against this young man at all, and his tone was also very easy-going, no different from chatting in the teahouse not long ago. "You don't need to be in a hurry, didn't you say, can we talk?"
Feng Yuan did not deny it or confirm it, but the implication of these words seemed to be that he had mastered the secret of the youth. Jin Shuo froze in place, looking at Feng Yuan, desperately wincing.
Feng Yuan looked at Jin Shuo, just smiled and nodded.
"You see, our two lives are also in your hands, and we have no power to resist, if you want to know anything, you can ask directly, and we will exchange information." Feng Yuan said word by word, not flustered at all.
The young man's face showed suspicion and did not move.
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to rebel against Brother Tiger here, it seems that you are a harmless child of humans and animals, but in fact, there are calculations in your heart, not necessarily, right."
"There should also be rules to survive in this place, and if you want to survive better, these rules must be sacrificed." Feng Yuan's tone increased little by little, and the young man did not move in his hand, but there was a look of surprise on his face.
"I'm afraid that all the time, there will be sacrifices, and you ......" Feng Yuan couldn't continue, and the young man yelled to stop Feng Yuan's remaining words.
The young man glared at Feng Yuan domineeringly, the two looked at each other, and the young man finally deflated. He let go of the bamboo pole, and Feng Yuan didn't move.
"It's not that I believe you, and of course, we have no reason to doubt you." The young man looked at Feng Yuan and said, "Listening to your accent, you don't look like a local." ”
Feng Yuan nodded.
"You're here to buy fish, aren't you?" The young man also let Jin Shuo go, guarded behind the door, and looked at the two. The teenagers, who were still heavily armed a moment ago, saw the young man's actions, and also put down the guys in their hands and retreated to all sides.
Jin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Feng Yuan complainingly, this guy's risky move just now almost killed them.
"Yes, you should know." Feng Yuan dusted off the ashes on his body and looked at the young man.
"I know?" The young man was a little stunned.
"Since the daytime, as soon as we enter the market, you have been following us, and when we are in the teahouse, you are the one who refuses to leave, I can only think that maybe you have something to say to me, don't you." Feng Yuan looked at the young man and said.
"Have you seen through it?" The young man was a little discouraged, sat down on the ground, and let go of the bamboo pole in his hand.
"You have been inquiring about Brother Tiger all the way from the morning, and you are a foreigner, so this is the most suspicious." After a while, the young man raised his head, and his gaze returned to the sharpness and brightness it had been before.
"It's not just me, you've been targeted for a long time." The young man hesitated for a moment and spoke.
Jin Shuo heard the conversation between the two, he was stunned, he didn't know how to react, he didn't expect that from the beginning, the two of them had been exposed, and he didn't expect that all this was already in Feng Yuan's plan. Of course, Feng Yuan had already planned for this.
"It seems so, we asked all the way, and none of us wanted to tell us the truth. It's just a tiger brother watching the scene, I think it shouldn't be like this. ”
The young man stood up, looked at Feng Yuan, and looked out the window again.
"That's right, but you're not right, Brother Tiger is just a gangster here." The young man tightened his eyebrows. "What really rules here is the hegemony of the severed shark."
