Huo Zuo asked Shen Yigong, what do you think of human life.

Some people have heavy lives, and some people have light lives. Some people died, the mat was wrapped and thrown away, and some people died, and the funeral had to be held in a different way, and the funeral procession hugged a long line.

"But human life is the same in the end. You can't do anything to this one, and you can't do anything to the next. That's what killing is all about, and you're thinking too much about it. ”

Huo Zuo took his clothes and didn't say to leave him, but he didn't drive him away again. This night was not able to spend the night in the Qingyuan Restaurant, Huo Zuo called his subordinates to pass the word, and left with Shen Yigong without saying hello to You Yiman.

By the time I got out of the apartment building, the rain had stopped, and the streets were steaming with the summer mood after the rain. The night was getting late, and the number of people coming and going on the streets was gradually decreasing. Huo Zuo walked ahead, his leather shoes stepping on the wet street, and the raindrops from the eaves hung there. Shen Yigong followed him closely, his mind was chaotic and mixed, he had never been like today, and for a moment he suddenly felt that mixed feelings and a thousand tastes turned out to be like this. This kind of discomfort is different from the usual discomfort, which is indescribable and unclear.

He first felt glad that he was back, even if the master didn't say it explicitly, it didn't look like he was going to drive him away. Looking up, it was the man's slender and upright back - the scene of Huo Zuo lying on the bed popped up in his mind.

Why did the throat suddenly tighten.

Shen Yigong didn't know what kind of body smell this was, but the gaze that fell on Huo Zuo became more and more intense, and even he didn't notice it.

After this night, Huo Zuo never mentioned the murder again.

The young man's martial arts are still practicing, and occasionally he needs to do things, and he will complete them as usual. In the past, it was considered hard, but now it is three or four times harder than before, and I am always afraid that I will disappoint my master, and I am even more afraid that I will never be able to take revenge.

Huo Zuo was on the 18th birthday of June in the lunar calendar, and invited the horns of the Qiankun Theater to sing for three days, among which Jin Xiaoxu was specially named. Cheng Changyu was very happy, he walked when he came to celebrate his birthday that day, and he couldn't move when he arrived at the venue of the Xitang singing. Huo Zuo's birthday this is his first birthday as the head of the family since Huo Congyi left, and it can be called a big event for the Huo family and the gangs in Shanghai. Although Qin Shengzhu didn't come, he asked his daughter Qin Mingyue to bring gifts to the door.

Miss Qin is studying in a girls' school, and she came wearing a pleated skirt from the school, she still has a bit of a big lady temperament to others, and when she saw Huo Zuo, her instincts converged. It's a pity that Huo Zuo really only treats her as a little sister, and after the birthday greetings, there is no other way to say it.

The banquet held by Huo Zhai, the main hall receives guests coming and going, and the east hall is a flowing water seat, from ten o'clock in the morning to the afternoon, the dishes are constantly on the ground, and the people on both sides of the table have also changed one after another. Xitang sang "The Legend of the West Chamber" of Shanghai Opera that morning, and asked Jin Xiaoxu to come over to sing the Peking Opera "Catch and Release Cao" in the afternoon, Cheng Changyu sat in the audience and shook his head without being fascinated.

After Shen Yigong was dragged by Xu's mother to run forward, the sky was about to get dark, and he gradually looked for leisure, turned his head, and thought that he hadn't seen the master all day, so he asked Xu's mother, and Xu's mother thought about it and told him: "I have to drink wine at the master's banquet tonight, I made pastries, you send some to the master." He's not a good person, nine times out of ten in the backyard. ”

The front yard receives guests, and the back yard looks deserted in comparison. Shen Yigong took the pastries to the backyard, he originally wanted to send the pastries to the bedroom, but after thinking about it, he felt that the master would not stay there at this time, so he went to the study to fold.

Huo Zuo's study is on the second floor of the backyard, which is clean and clean, and no one comes and goes. Shen Yigong walked up the stairs alone, and was about to push the door in front of the study, but heard a slight sound from inside. The boy was stunned in front of the door for a moment.

The sound of small wheezing inside crawled in his heart like an ant, and he recognized this voice as Master.

The desks in the room creaked, and the sound of flesh and skin colliding echoed through the study. Shen Yigong knew that he should leave at this time if he was interested, but he was like that and secretly put the pastry in his hand aside, and after some hesitation, he tiptoed to the door of the study and peeked in along the crack in the door.

There were still too few scenes that could be seen through a gap, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and he could only see Huo Zuo lying on his back on the desk.

Shen Yigong felt that his scalp was numb, and he was even more surprised that he didn't hate seeing such a scene at all, and subconsciously remembered the scene in the Qingyuan Restaurant that day - Huo Zuo was lying on the bed, naked like a newborn baby, without any cover.

A heated discussion surged down, and the heat in the room burned him little by little, and the young man retreated half a step back in a panic, but bumped into the pastry he had placed next to him.

There was a clang, and the movement in the room stopped for a while.

Shen Yigong looked in along the crack in the door with a little nervousness, and coldly met Huo Zuo's indifferent pair of peach blossom eyes, the other party only glanced at him like this, and then reached out to hold the arm of the person in front of him: "Go on." ”

The voice in the study rang out again. When Huo Zuo finished dressing and came out, there was still the shadow of his apprentice outside the door, leaving only the osmanthus sauce that had been turned over in front of the door.

The young man who came out behind him was buttoning his collar, and Huo Zuo didn't bother to look at him without looking back, and shook off his words: "Go back and find your mother to receive the reward." ”

The man nodded respectfully and walked away with neat steps.

As long as he ran into Shen Yigong that night, the young man lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him. Huo Zuo probably understood in his heart that when he and You Yiman teased him with the word "boy chicken", his gaze became more and more subtle.

After the feast was over, You Yiman leaned on the small couch in Huo Zuo's room and teased: "If you see it, you see it, you can ask the duck to pay copper coins, and the apprentice doesn't spend money to come." ”

"You Yiman, are you a crazy woman?"

"If I were a madwoman, you wouldn't be much worse. On your birthday, you can still ask me to send you someone, Huo Congyi is an old thing, and you are getting bolder. ”

Huo Zuo lowered his head and lit a cigarette, not to talk about these things with her, and said: "I will go to Hangzhou in two days." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Meet the individual, talk about the batch. You come with me. ”

"I'm not doing business, I'm going to Hangzhou with you?" You Yiman took out a slender female cigarette from his cigarette case, and Huo Zuo leaned over and lit it for her with the cigarette butt in his mouth.

"Your business here is for Cheng Changyu to be watched for two days and it won't get in the way." The two swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, You Yiman went to Huo Zuo's arms to find a comfortable place to lie down, his face sank slightly, "You tell me frankly, take me to Hangzhou at this time." ”

Huo Zuo didn't say anything, she turned around and twisted the meat on his shoulder.

"Can't you talk about it!"

"I'll tell you, and you're going to have to worry about it. It's better not to talk about it. ”

You Yiman sat up straight: "Something went wrong with the shop?" ”

"Anyway, don't think about it. When Hangzhou comes back, everything will be done. Huo Zuo said as he grabbed You Yiman's shoulders and asked her to lie back again, "Didn't you say that I wouldn't tell you about the fighting, killing, and killing." That's a man's business, not a woman's business. ”

"But you're my brother, and your business is mine."

"Little things." Huo turned his head on the left side and gently stroked You Yiman's cheek with his hand, "You believe me." Just take this opportunity, after talking about business, let's go to the old house to have a look. Give your mother a stick of incense. ”

Hearing him mention his mother, You Yiman swallowed back what he originally wanted to say. After thinking for a moment, he could only sigh and agree.

This time he was going to Hangzhou, and Huo Zuo specially told Cheng Changyu to deal with the things in Shanghai. I just invited Jin Xiaoxu to come over and sing, Cheng Changyu was on the rise, and as soon as he heard that Huo Zuo had something to do, he agreed without thinking about it.

Shen Yigong dreamed of things that were not in his dreams every day and night, and he went to wash his pants by himself every morning. Several old aunts saw it from afar, gathered together to look at the young man and laughed. Since that day, the events in the study have been etched into his mind, and he will never forget them.

He was worried that he would be embarrassed to see the master like this, but fortunately, Huo Zuo had to go far away. Before leaving, the man told him: "Remember to swing the knife at least 600 times a day." Don't fall behind in kung fu, don't look at it for only a few days, whether you practice diligently or not, it's a matter of me taking a look. ”

Shen Yigong is hardworking, and being lazy is a plan that will not be lazy. sent Huo Zuo away, afraid that he would be alone all day long, so he simply soaked in the practice room all day long.

As soon as Huo Zuo left, Cheng Changyu took over Shen Yigong, he didn't know what twists and turns were between the two, he only knew that this kid's kung fu was getting better and better now, and he happened to stay in Shanghai, and many things needed to be settled by a person who could practice his family, and he just needed this kid.

At the end of the month, Shen Yigong asked Cheng Changyu to call him to the suburbs. He didn't know what it was for. Cheng Changyu sat in the passenger seat and turned his head to chat with him: "Being an apprentice to Lao Huo, was he abused?" ”

"Abuse?"

"You don't know?" Cheng Changyu looked like a when he laughed, "Your master looks good-tempered, and he is afraid of being ruthless." By the way, I kicked you and vomited blood. ”

Shen Yigong scratched his head: "At that time, I was already beaten, and his kick was ...... Shouldn't it be heavy, right? ”

"Isn't it heavy to vomit blood? No wonder you made him an apprentice. Cheng Changyu tilted his head, thought for a while and asked, "You have been in the Huo Mansion for several months, does your master touch a woman?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Shen Yigong turned red when he climbed the line. remembered that the man had warned him in the Qingyuan Restaurant, and hurriedly stammered: "Huh? This, this, I don't know. ”

"You don't even know this?"

"I don't know."

Cheng Changyu felt bored, muttered and sat back again, and said: "Your master doesn't touch anything, you see other people who are big brothers, smoking big cigarettes, women engaging in fun, pai gow gambling, just your master, if you don't play this and that, you can't sit still playing mahjong." ”

Shen Yigong looked away, if the master didn't tell Cheng Changyu these words, then he would have to keep his mouth shut.

Besides, he didn't want others to know anything about this inexplicable private thing.

When the car arrived, Cheng Changyu took him down, and the two stood in a vast field of weeds.

Shen Yigong was strange: "Brother Changyu, what are we going to do?" ”

Cheng Changyu helped his glasses, lowered his head and lit the cigarette, and pointed to the flashing lights of another car in front of him: "As soon as that kid makes a move, you will give it to me, understand?" ”

Shen Yigong nodded.

Cheng Changyu waved his hand at the people over there, and the other party seemed to see them, and the three of them rushed over with a machete in their hands. Seeing this, Cheng Changyu pushed Shen Yigong forward: "The old mansion of these guys is for our eldest brother to open a brothel, and now that the eldest brother is gone, let us solve it." You're in good hands! ”

Shen Yigong hurriedly pulled out the knife and glanced back at Cheng Changyu, that buddy had already rushed back to the car.

The three people who came were all tall and big, each with a long watermelon knife in their hands, and when they saw Shen Yigong, they slashed their heads and faces, and shouted: "You bastards!" Die! ”

Shen Yigong didn't know where they came from, but they were brought here, and the three of them cut down with their knives, so they could only raise their heads and deal with them first.

The four of them were entangled under the headlights, and after the noise was silent, Cheng Changyu pinched a small pistol and poked his head out of the car window: "Is it solved, brother?" ”

Shen Yigong stood in front of the headlights with two knives in his hands.

Cheng Changyu got out of the car and came to check, but saw that although the three people who fell to the ground were unable to move with wounds, they all had a breath. Cheng Changyu turned his head and looked at him with a bitter face: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I see them ......"

"What are they? They're all brought to the suburbs, and you're going to let them go? The pits are dug next to them. Come here, do it. ”

Shen Yigong hesitated.

Seeing this, Cheng Changyu scolded him: "Do you know that you are a member of the Blue Dragon Society!" Is there a gangster like you? ”

"They also have their own livelihood, and I think the old house should be ...... if it is gone."

"What should it be? These three guys took knives and tried to kill a few of us, and they called over tonight to give them a good time. Cheng Changyu salivaed, loaded the gun and covered his eyes and pointed at the three people, and fired three shots in a row.

Shen Yigong stood stunned beside him, and he didn't react until someone else went over and dragged the body to bury it.

Cheng Changyu put away the gun and said angrily: "Let's go, what are you looking at?" Big brother asked me to bring you here, you see what the use of you is here! ”

Shen Yigong was pulled into the car by him and sat there with his head drooping.

It's only three times – this should be the third time!

Cheng Changyu lit a cigarette and took a sip: "I don't know how to kill people and be apprentices with killers." Let's go home and farm! ”

The two left the suburbs at night.
