Chapter 37: Face
I originally thought that after Li Qingshan was cheated out, he would become very depressed, desperate, and angry
But when he saw me leave, he always had a smile on his face and an indescribable expectation, as if he didn't care so much about his future.
Is he so calm down, or is he completely insane?
In my opinion, it should be the latter.
When he returned to the hospital, Qibao was eating with the old man, and Chang Longxiang was still helping to beckon the nurse to change the dressing.
In terms of complexion, the old man is much better than yesterday, and his eyes are not so cloudy.
Although the breath is unstable and can even be said to be a little weak, but on the whole, the spirit has eased up.
Seeing me push the door and walk in, the old man looked up at me and asked, "Are you done?"
I nodded, walked over and sat down, and when I saw the nurse pushing the cart out, I took the pistol from my waist and handed it to Shippo.
"You're useless, aren't you?" Shippo asked me cautiously.
"What am I doing with it?" I smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, if I use this in front of your uncle, can he let me back?" You still have to detain me on the spot? ”
Qibao put the pistol away, nodded and said that it was true, his uncle's jealous and hateful nature, if he saw me shoot in front of him, he would have to beat me if he didn't detain me.
If I can come back safe and sound, it is enough to show that I have not committed any crimes.
"Where did you get your gun?" When the old man saw this scene, he asked me with some curiosity.
I didn't squeak, glanced at Shippo, and answered quietly.
"You melon baby! You know how to bring a bad boss! ”
"Hey, Master Shen! We have to speak with our conscience! He asked for the gun I wanted! Qibao cried and laughed and said: "This is still bought by a friend, it is definitely not a black gun, the foundation is clean, not to mention, and I will be given two boxes of bullets!" ”
"What's that friend of yours doing?" The old man asked again.
Qibao laughed twice and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the old man sighed, didn't ask anything, turned his head to look at me, and asked me if Li Qingshan's matter was over.
"It's over." I laughed and said, "That beast's psychological quality is not good, just cheat, he will speak." ”
The old man shook his head and laughed helplessly: "Dog's day, I've been in the rivers and lakes for most of my life, and I have to be deceived once when I'm old, this young man's acting skills are good." ”
"Don't talk about this, master, when is it better for us to leave?"
"As soon as possible."
The old man said, coughing uncontrollably, I hurriedly ran over to help him calm down, and after a while, he continued: "Your illness is much more serious than mine, if I don't hurry up and get rid of those corpse qi, even if I want to save you again, there is no way to rejuvenate you." ”
"Then you're on your side," I frowned, not saying the rest of the word.
The old man's self-esteem is stronger than anyone else's, but there are some things that cannot be left unsaid, after all, no matter how strong his self-esteem is, it is not as important as his life.
I don't want the old man to be planted in this matter because of his pride.
"Master, why don't you stay away for a while?" I asked tentatively, I didn't dare to look at the old man's eyes, lowered my head and said: "Bear with the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, at this juncture, we don't have to"
Before I could finish speaking, the old man shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to retreat, it's that I can't retreat." ”
"What do you mean?" Qibao was stunned.
"In my position, take a step back, it's going to die." The old man smiled bitterly and said: "If you retreat, you will be cowardly, whether it is a bandit in the green forest or a gentleman who walks the rivers and lakes, the more enemies there are, the more you can't coax, and cowardice is equivalent to looking for death." ”
"Why?" Qibao frowned: "Those beasts want to kill them all? ”
"Think about it, if you are my enemy, and it is not an ordinary enemy, it is a great enemy of life and death, and I can't wait to dig up the ancestral grave of the other party's eighteenth generation" The old man smiled: "Usually you don't dare to come to me for trouble, because you know, I can kill you, but if one day, I am seriously injured and then hide, what would you think?" ”
Qibao was stunned and didn't squeak, but looking at his expression, he should have understood what the old man meant.
"The broken drums are beaten, the walls are knocked down and everyone is pushing, one or two are not afraid of me, but what if they join forces?" The old man sighed helplessly: "Don't think that Mr. is not good at brains, they are better than monkeys, and they have the opportunity to fall into the well, they must be on the job." ”
"Then you're not hiding?" Qibao was still a little worried: "Even if you stay in the hospital, those animals will still come to the door." ”
"They don't dare to do it, don't worry." The old man comforted.
Qibao didn't speak, but glanced at me, meaning that I should persuade the old man.
After all, the risk of this matter is too great, and if you can avoid certain risks, you must try to avoid risks.
Even if there is only a 1 percent chance of an accident, this cannot be risked, and if human life is gone, then it is really gone.
It's true.
Needless to say, I know these truths too, but
"The rat and the fat man stay, and Qibao will go to Longshan with me, is there no problem with this arrangement?" I asked the old man.
He frowned, as if he wasn't quite satisfied with my arrangement: "Bring the rat with you, and it can help you in case of trouble." ”
"I don't need to."
I patted the folds on my clothes, and said to the old man without raising my head, this matter is not negotiable, it is settled, if I don't leave the squirrel behind, then I won't leave.
Hearing me say this, the old man sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.
"Fatty, if we go, the family will only rely on you." I smiled and looked at Chang Longxiang very seriously: "If you encounter trouble that can't be solved, you can take the old man to withdraw, and you don't need to listen to his opinion." ”
Chang Longxiang snorted and said I know it in my heart, you can go with confidence.
"Lao Tzu is not dead yet!" The old man was not happy, and scolded and said, "Can you ask for my opinion?" ”
Qibao and I looked at each other for a while, and said in unison.
"I can't."
Without waiting for the old man to say anything, I dragged Qibao and ran, only shouting "take care of yourself" in my mouth, and then led him out of the hospital door.
Running downstairs, Shippo handed me a cigarette and gasped for breath with me.
"Damn, what are you doing so fast?" Qibao wiped his sweat and looked at me very depressed: "Busy reincarnating?" ”
"I'm afraid that the old man will regret it." I took the cigarette, lit it for myself more and more familiarly, took two puffs, and felt a lot more relaxed: "He wants the squirrel to follow us, and if he can, he also wants Chang Longxiang to follow." ”
"I know." Qibao smiled: "Master Shen is just afraid that we will be in trouble, but he doesn't want to think about who is in more trouble now." ”
I nodded, and absentmindedly walked outside the hospital with Shippo, not feeling nervous, but a little dazed.
It turns out that we all do things to help others, all to make money.
But now it's helping yourself and saving your own life, which is really a big contrast
"Actually, you have another way, right?"
Qibao opened his mouth coldly and asked me: "Master Shen, you should have a better solution to this matter, but you didn't bring it up, why?" ”
"The best solution is to avoid the war and fight again." I said without looking back: "First show weakness and hide, rest and recuperate for a while, and when the body recovers, then go to find those beasts who are making trouble, just kill the chickens and monkeys, and ensure that none of them dare to jump again." ”
"Hide?" Qibao was stunned: "It's that simple? ”
"Outsiders think you're hiding as an instigation, but what if you put it another way?" I asked rhetorically: "Looking for someone in the industry to blow the wind, just say that the old man can't sit still, and wants to kill a few animals who always want to trouble him, do you know fishing law enforcement?" ”
"Fuck," Qibao muttered, "Why don't you tell Master Shen about this method?" ”
"He has a good face, and he can't wipe his face." I sighed, "If he could listen to me and do what I did, then he wouldn't be the living king of the industry." ”
