Chapter 12: Opening
The revenge has been avenged, and the breath that has been held in my heart for a year seems to be a brain clear, as if to quench hunger and thirst. But after this breath condensed in my heart dissipated, I always felt that it was not a taste of emptiness.
Now that he doesn't have that breath, what can he do if he stays here? Is it really like what Master said, just leave here? He was a little unwilling, but what was the reason for staying?
For the first time, Shen Yigong didn't anxiously catch up with Huo Zuo's footsteps, and after watching the man leave so lonely, he just sighed and turned around and walked towards the room a little dejected.
He came to this room on the first day he entered Huo Mansion, when Xu's mother asked him to take a bath and then go to meet people, the hot water soaked into the wound and the pain was hot, and he was covered with blood and washed off, and he changed his clothes as if he was a new life.
He thought he had crawled back into the world.
Shen Yigong touched the bamboo mat and sat down on the edge of the bed, his elbows propped up on his knees, thinking about what he could do next. Walk? Where to? Stay? For whom?
Thinking like this, he closed his eyes, and as soon as he closed his eyes, Huo Zuo's back and what he heard and saw in the study that day poured in again.
He lay backwards and fell down. Those pictures became clearer and clearer, the sound kept ringing in his head, those secret breaths, and the small whispers, and finally the moment he tightened his brows, he heard a person call his name in his head: "Shen Yigong ......"
Over and over again, in a completely different tone from the usual tone, shouting like that.
"Shen Yigong."
It was like a flash of white light flashing through his mind. The moment he reached the top, his muscles tightened, and after he was released, he wiped it with a towel and hurriedly packed his clothes, but heard a sharp knock outside the door. Mother Xu shouted outside: "Mr. Shen, our master has an accident!" ”
Shen Yigong went over and opened the door: "What's wrong!" ”
As soon as he answered the phone, Miss You told him not to go to Shop 16 today, there was someone waiting for him. Can...... The old man has already left in the car! ”
When the young man heard this, he went back to his room, picked up a knife, and ran out. Xu's mother was too old to run, and the time she sent him out made things clear. You Yiman came with a total of two calls from beginning to end, the first one urged Huo Zuo to go, because there was a deflated person in the store of the 16th shop who slandered Sister Yao for stealing money, and the other party deliberately made a big deal and blocked the door of the store, so he had no choice but to call. The second call was to tell him not to go, it turned out that You Yiman reacted, that group of deflated people slandered and stole money was fake, and it was true that they wanted to find Huo Zuo to make trouble, so they hurriedly told him not to come, who knew that when the call came, the person had already gone out!
"Nong told the lord to be careful!" Mother Xu ran to the door and shouted at Shen Yi's back, "Nong should also be careful!" ”
Shen answered her with a bow and ran wildly on the road. On the main road, there were pedestrians, trams and rickshaws on the left and right, and the mess of gambling made Shen Yigong breathe a sigh of relief, the road was so blocked, which meant that Huo Zuo should not have reached You Yiman's side so quickly. He quickened his pace, crossed the Erbaidu Bridge, and saw Huo Zuo's car from a distance, Shen Yigong shook his hands to shout, who expected that the road conditions were complicated, and the shouting was drowned in the shouting and scolding of the people pulling the cart on the road. Seeing that the car was indifferent and moving forward, Shen Yigong could only chase after him.
Chasing all the way like this, seeing that he had entered the topography of the sixteenth shop, not far from You Yiman's newly opened "Flower Manli", Shen Yigong held back his strength and rushed forward. The car stopped, and the back seat door was about to open, Shen Yigong squinted his eyes, and saw a flash of light in the alley, and the arc was the muzzle of the gun, so he rushed into it through the wide open door, pressed Huo Zuo on the leather seat, and shouted with the driver: "Drive!" Hurry up! ”
The driver is also well-trained, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car ran all the way out of the street. The door called Shen Yigong to rush in and threw it hard in an instant, and under the sound of the car engine, the gunshots rang out, and a series of bullets hit the car glass.
Huo Zuo let Shen Yigong press on the saddle, listened to the shattered glass of the car, and frowned at the young man: "How did you know that you came?" ”
In order to avoid bullets, the car made a sharp turn and threw the two people in the back seat under the seats. Shen Yigong shook off the glass shards on his body, and he didn't dare to let these fall on Huo Zuo, and hurriedly explained: "Mother Xu answered Aunt You's call and called me." ”
The sound of bullets still did not stop, and those who wanted to set traps and ambushes had already prepared. Seeing the car go up to the high ground, a bullet passed through the driver's temple. The whole car went straight for the telephone pole.
The moment the car crashed forward, Huo Zuo grabbed Shen Yigong's arm, and only then stopped him and asked, "Bring the guy out." ”
The other man nodded.
The man neatly tore open the back of the passenger seat and took out the knife from inside. After the most intense gunfire had passed, the bullets seemed to have completely disappeared. Hearing a group of people roaring outside, Huo Zuo sneered: "A group of deflated three, where did so many bullets come from." ”
With a nudge of Shen Yigong, the two kicked the car door and flipped forward, and the knife first bit the ankle of the person who rushed out first. The other car brought by Huo Zuo had also been surrounded, and the brothers in the car all slammed the car door and pulled out their knives to deal with the visitors.
Shen Yigong and Huo Zuo were back to back with a double knife, their bodies leaned forward slightly, their steps were like the wind, and between the swords and swords, they had already solved those troublemakers. When Shen Yigong took out the knife, he always inadvertently glanced at the master beside him, and saw that the person's face was cold, and the knife was extremely fast, and the blood brought out by the knife rolled over his cheeks, dyed with a red mark.
After a short distraction, the person was about to be cut down with a knife, but it was Huo Zuo who raised his leg and kicked the person away from Shen Yigong: "What are you thinking!" ”
Listening to his scolding, Shen Yigong hurriedly concentrated on dealing with the enemy. He looked around, saw that in the midst of the chaos, there was a flash of light on the corner of the street, and when he looked at it, it was aimed at Huo Zuo's black muzzle, so he didn't care about the enemy in front of him, and rushed forward, and hit it with the hardness of the shovel with his calf, and stuck in front of the gun.
"Boom-" The sound sounded, and the blade smeared the barrel of a man's gun and climbed up his throat, and before he had time to think about it, with the sound of this gunshot, blood spread out with the smoke of gunpowder. Shen Yigong pressed the muzzle of the gun down, and the bullet hit the person next to Huo Zuo.
This knife attracted the attention of a man, Shen Yigong looked at his blade dripping with blood, subconsciously looked at Huo Zuo, met the man's eyes, learned his usual posture and raised his arm to wipe the blood clean.
Huo Zuo's eyes flashed with a slight vibration, thinking about what he had said to the young man at the beginning, "It's not more than three", and remembered a sentence he had heard from the old man before: If the dog that has opened its mouth is not slaughtered, it will only bite.
It's good.
"Shen Yigong! Come here! ”
This gunshot sounded like a signal, and the gangsters who were still in a mess with Huo Zuo's side all retreated in fear. In the final analysis, there is still a little difference between the three gangsters who have practiced the family and the three gangsters on the street, and Huo Zuo is ruthless in every step of the way. Seeing the blood and letting go of the gun, who would dare to move more.
At this moment, the windows of the houses on both sides were opened, and the man sat on the balcony with a gun, and when he saw that anyone moved, he opened a bloody hole in whomever he moved, and looked up. It was You Yiman, and the woman took a kind of girl and stood on top.
Shen Yigong guarded Huo Zuo and stared at the group of people who scattered back to the mouth of the alley, a dark place, but it was as quiet as a broken dial, and there was no sound at all.
In this silence, Huo Zuo picked up a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and listened to the "click". He looked in all directions, glanced at the rabble, and said, "Can't you get used to seeing the three hands of the long man outside reaching into your sixteenth shop?" ”
The group of deflated people was silent, and many people's eyes were staring at the drops of blood dripping from the blades of the two people.
You Yiman stood on the balcony holding a gun: "I think, I can't get used to seeing women getting bigger in this place, what's the matter, you deflated people still want to rob the old lady's money?" ”
Huo Zuo chuckled at the woman and turned his head to look at them again. Finally someone spoke: "How do you count the matter of killing the three brothers of the Zhou family!" ”
When one person shouted, a group of people echoed: "Yes! How to calculate! ”
"Killing people pays for their lives, do you just want to forget it!"
A crowd of people made a noise. You Yiman raised his hand and fired an empty gun at the sky, and when she saw that the people below were quiet, she spoke: "When I bought the land, I understood the accounts before and after, this big guy should know, right?" The three brothers of their Zhou family have already agreed, you know this, right? But then when I saw that we had a little money, I had a bad idea and opened my mouth to our lion, so you don't know it! As for the three of them dead? Is it because they did not negotiate with some local gangs to share the spoils evenly and were killed, and we are to blame? Who's going to settle this account with you! ”
After You Yiman finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at Huo Zuo. The man had already smoked half of his cigarette, and after listening to her, he deliberately asked himself to speak, so he also said: "From today, if you can't get used to me, you can't get used to it." If you want to make money, want to live a good life, and want to have a good mouth, oh, upstairs big sister. ”
Huo Zuo pointed at You Yiman.
"Figure it out for yourselves."
You Yiman took over: "I'm 'Huamanli' and 'Red and Green Gang', the eldest third of the women, the third of the men, as long as I am called the eldest sister, I have a copper coin, I will not be worse than you, not to mention bringing everyone to be rich, but at least, as long as you come to my name to worship the door, I will not treat you badly." ”
After finishing speaking, he fired three more shots into the sky, and snapped a neat sentence: "Okay, open the door and do business!" ”
Huo Zuoyin was under the entrance wall, biting his cigarette to watch the commotion of the crowd, and as soon as the door panel of 'Huamanli' was lowered, the group of gangsters who were idle on weekdays were all rushing inside.
"Shen Yigong, what do you want to do next?"
Shen Yigong was already standing there, listening to Huo Zuo ask him, but he didn't come up with an answer for a long time. The man threw the cigarette at his feet: "Forget it, I won't ask you." You're saving me today, just after I'm going to drive you away. Then you can't use the friendship between master and apprentice to prevaricate the past. Let's go, go upstairs, and ask your Aunt You for a drink, I want to think about how to repay you. ”
