When the gentlemen were disbanded, Situ led us back to the village. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

According to the old man's instructions, he lit a bonfire with peach wood branches, and kept throwing cinnabar into the fire, and then moved the melon cocoons into it one by one to cremate.

When the last melon cocoon was burned to ashes, the old man said that he was tired and wanted to find a place to rest for a while.

Situ was also sensible, and seemed to know that the old man had something to say to me, so he found us an empty old house, saying that we should have a good rest and go up the mountain to search for people later.

In the house, there were only two people, me and the old man.

"Master, I don't think the current situation is good for you or me."

Since there are no outsiders present, I naturally have no scruples when I talk about this topic.

"How?" The old man asked me with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Offended so many gentlemen by 'sex' at one time, and offended them while helping the official family........" I looked at the old man with a worried face: "Although those gentlemen are not your own people, but in the eyes of outsiders, you are just abandoning your own people for the sake of the official family!" ”

The old man hummed, didn't speak, and looked at me quietly, as if he just wanted to listen to me.

"Under this circumstance, we will definitely be squeezed out by the people in the industry, or even attacked by a group."

I gritted my teeth, and when I saw that the old man was still calm, I couldn't help but get anxious.

"Master! Hong Dinghai's turtle son's last words were not good! Don't you hear that?! ”

"I hear you." The old man nodded: "What do you say I should do?" ”

"I can only think of two paths." I gritted my teeth: "Either let this matter pass, take this opportunity to stand up, I don't think those animals dare to come to the 'door' to find trouble, or, give in, and think of a remedy afterwards, but if you do......."

The old man's 'smoking' cigarette increased significantly, staring at me intently, waiting for what I would say.

"If you do this, the Shen family may be gone."

"How?" The old man asked me again.

"The Shen family can continue to this day, firstly because of your hard foundation, and secondly, because of your reputation." I frowned and analyzed with the old man: "The living king of the Shen family is not easy to mess with, if you offend, you will die, if you want to deal with you, you have to deal with it like a mad dog, either you will be killed with a 'stick', or ...... There is going to be hell to pay! ”

"You have lived for so many years, there must have been someone who had the courage to deal with you, but without exception, they must have been cleaned up by you, and it can be said that it has become your stepping stone........"

"In these years, everyone is thinking about themselves, everyone wants to reap the benefits of fishermen, and no one dares to be the first bird, so the Shen family can continue to this day."

Hearing this, the old man also laughed, his face full of relief.

"Yes, you kid thinks 'very' deeply."

"Master, I'll tell you the truth, don't you don't like to listen." I sighed: "If we keep doing things like this, sooner or later we will be eaten by those gentlemen, and the rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a pack of wild dogs." ”

"Do you know why I'm doing this?" The old man asked me.

I shook my head and said that Ma Laosan's matter was enough, and this time it really shouldn't be.

"It's my advice to you, Er, you remember," the old man said, pointing to .......the heavenly 'flower' board: "Fighting with people, there is a chance of winning, fighting with the sky, there is also a chance of winning, but what if you fight with the country?" ”

I was stunned and didn't speak.

"I am a gentleman who has experienced that revolution, and I know very well how terrible the world is that which is not afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods......." The old man smiled bitterly: "If this matter is not handled well, the contradictions between the two sides will continue to 'intensify', and at that time, if the official family launches such a ......... again"

The old man didn't say the rest of the words, but told me instead.

"But the possibility of this situation is very small, if I don't deal with this matter, sooner or later there will be other old gentlemen, but if this is the case, the official family will look at me in a less friendly way."

"The friendliness of the officials, the friendliness of the peers, do you value the former?" I was a little surprised.

"If the Shen family only has me, I will value the latter." The old man smiled calmly: "But if you are added, the former will have the greatest effect on us." ”

"You want to pave the way for me with the help of official energy?" I shook my head: "It's not appropriate, it's not good to say." ”

"It just works." The old man patted me on the shoulder and said, "The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, no matter what your backer is, the most important thing is your foundation." ”

"You say." I nodded.

"I'm old, how many years I can live, I can't think about this." The old man looked at me deeply, his eyes full of exhaustion and reluctance: "After I leave, if you are not full of wings, you will fall badly." ”

"Don't talk nonsense! You've got a long life to live! ”

"It's not long, you don't count what you say, God says it." The old man smiled: "Believe me, when you are not yet full, the power of the official can help you a lot." ”

The old man smoked a cigarette and talked to me as if chatting.

The current Jianghu people are unpredictable, relying on doing good deeds and relying on personal connections, these can be convincing to the public, but what if you deal with those gentlemen who are shameless?

They don't accept this, only one word.

Die.

The old man said very clearly, fighting with him to the end is nothing more than a dead word.

Because of this, those gentlemen didn't dare to play with the old man.

Hong Dinghai's provocation also has a good side for us, and we need these stepping stones to stand up for power.

"They can disobey what I do, disobey my attitude, and disobey me to do things for the officials, but they must obey me."

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were helpless: "If you want me to say, over the years, all gentlemen have been pretending, including me, all of them are pretending to be ruthless, and if you don't shoot ruthlessly, no one will be afraid of you......."

"You're pretending to be all this?" I asked.

"At first it was, and then it wasn't." The old man shrugged his shoulders: "If you wear the mask for too long, there will always be a time when you can't take it off." ”

"What do you want me to do?" I looked at him with a confused expression.

The old man 'smoked' a cigarette and thought silently for a while, and then said to me: "Let me tell you clearly, my enemies outside are not said to be hundreds, and many of them are ruthless, if I die one day, I'm afraid I haven't passed the first seven, and you have to come and accompany me........."

"I. Day ......."

Although I don't like to swear, at this time, I really can't help it.

Hundreds of enemies?? Isn't that killing me?!

"Before I die, you will be as bad as your father, and if you don't, you won't be able to fight those people." The old man said very directly: "If there is pressure, there is motivation, I hope you don't live up to my hard work." ”

"Is this still called painstaking work?" I was so aggrieved that I almost cried.

"Hey, if you have more lice, you don't have to itch, if you have more debts, the more enemies, the longer you live, the more you have strength!" The old man smiled very sinisterly: "When I come to this point, there is no way to turn back, a little softer, that is the big thing of destroying the family and destroying the 'door', I hope that one day you can be as ........ as me"

"As ruthless as you?" I asked.

The old man shook his head and said, No.

"I hope you are like me, remember the ancestral teachings of the Shen family, and harden your bones to Lao Tzu, even if we have more enemies, we can't be cowardly!" The old man sneered: "Those gentlemen with evil thoughts, they should be educated, if there are no people like us who come forward, who can control them?" ”

As he spoke, the old man snuffed out his cigarette butt, his eyes full of helplessness.

"We're rotten enough in our business now, and if they corrupt some of it, it's really over."

Hearing this, I finally understood, and I couldn't help but smile on my face.

"Master, in fact, if the official family doesn't come to you, you will also come to 'intervene', right?"

"How do you know?" The old man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect me to ask such a question.

"Being able to live 'essence' blood and grow hair and skin, and be able to rejuvenate in a short period of time, even if there are some sequelae, this is enough to attract the hearts of many gentlemen." I laughed and said, "There are many things that people can't resist, and natural aging is one of them, so ......."

"So the surname Chen let Lao Tzu defraud 100,000!" The old man laughed: "This thing can't kill people in the industry, but it can kill many ordinary people, I don't care if I can't do it!" ”

At this time, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, at least I think.

"Who's that skinny old man?" I asked curiously.

The "thin skeleton" who negotiated with the old man before is obviously not an ordinary gentleman, at least his identity and strength are not far from the old man.

If it weren't for that, he would not have dared to negotiate with the old man, and the other gentlemen were examples.

"That old thing's surname is Sun, he is the Gu master of that piece of Guizhou, and his full name is Sun Huachan." When the old man talked about that person, his expression became a little solemn: "He is a gentleman of the same generation as me, his strength is not weak, only a few points worse than me, twenty years ago, he fought with me once, and I narrowly beat him by half a move......

"Sun Huachan?" I nodded thoughtfully: "Why do those gentlemen call him an old immortal?" ”

"His most powerful Gu is the Golden Silkworm Gu he refined, so his nickname is Sun Hua Silkworm." The old man sneered: "In the younger generation's later life, many people call him a silkworm immortal, which sounds like his mother's Journey to the West!" ”

At this moment, the 'door' of the room was pushed open without warning, and Situ hurriedly ran in.

"Master Shen! Someone out there is looking for you! ”

"Who?"

"Changlong Elephant!"
