Chapter 23 Occupancy
"This, but we people don't have any real skills, and if you go to do things with you, old man, I'm afraid it will only cause you more trouble, that's not good, isn't it?" The big head is quite prevaricating.
Because to be honest, although the temptation of money is great, everyone is not short of money at the moment, so they don't have the heart to do anything for money. Although the old man has not yet explained what kind of work it is, our strength is obvious to all, and if even someone like him needs help, we can imagine how tricky it will be.
The old man put away his smile and replied solemnly: "The old man still doesn't know much about what your group of people are thinking, but listen to the old man's question, do you plan to find Gu Cang's hope to solve those who are pestering people, and then go back and live a dull and boring life." ”
Is it? When the old man said this, we really thought about it.
The only reason I came here in the first place was to hope that Gu Cang could have a way to help us get rid of the pursuit, and of course, after the problem was solved, everyone would go back to their respective homes.
But as soon as the old man asked, everyone had to ask what they really thought in their hearts. Is it really so much to look forward to the resolution of things, and then go home and live a mediocre life? Or is it actually because we look forward to this thrilling life in our hearts, so we will come here step by step.
The fat man looked at me and whispered to pick up the bohemianism of the past, "I think that the past few months of going back have been boring, with money, and there is no motivation to work, I play with nothing all day long, and when I come home every night, I feel empty except for emptiness." There is no rush. ”
Forehead? The fat man thought so, and after hearing this, I quickly looked at the other four. At a glance, even if they don't say it, they already know the answer. Because they have the same expression on their faces as fat people.
No wonder, I think of the letter I received before, it turns out that after the last treasure hunt, they can no longer bear the monotonous and boring ordinary life, and yearn for a thrilling and exciting adventure life.
It's just that I came here, and they didn't show their intentions because of me.
"According to the old man's observation, these five people don't seem to have any opinions, and the main contradiction is you." The old man looked at me and said.
"Sir, what about our group of people, everything advances and retreats together, there is no contradiction or contradiction, each of us has everyone's concerns. Although there is no small thing, but it is always true, there is only one small life, and you should be cautious and cautious at that time. "Hearing the old man pointing the finger at me, the big head had a little anger on his mouth.
"Haha, why is the little brother still a little angry, don't be irritable, don't be impatient. The old man means that he wants you people to really understand what they are looking forward to, and in the old man's opinion, some of you still haven't been able to figure it out. You know, if you don't figure this out, you will have to plant a lot of mistakes on the road in the future, people, you must do things according to what you want and want in your heart, only in this way, even if you fail, you will not be ashamed. ”
Follow your heart?
My mind comes to the idea of going home and living with Xiu'er, having children, raising children, watching my children grow up, and watching my years pass away. Indeed, I can imagine how sweet it would be. But at the same time, I can also imagine when I am too old to move and lie in the chair, remembering that I used to choose the kind of exciting life, but I didn't stick to it. What a loss.
At this moment, I could finally understand why my grandfather stubbornly left home to risk those dangerous things even after our family was far away from starvation. Because that is the life he has chosen, and it is the proof that he can feel the life alive in it. He fell in love with that kind of wind and food, sleeping in the open, and the crisis was full of nerves, and he didn't know that one day it would be the end of his life. I think that the grandfather's last time in my father's mouth will never come, and in those days, there will never be a last time, unless death comes.
Hey, forget it, there's no need to force yourself, I'm still my grandfather's grandson after all, and I have the same blood in his veins as him, although this choice is fair to my parents and Xiu'er. But let me be presumptuous this time, and accompany you on another journey.
"Old man's proposal sounds very good, I'm very interested, anyway, I'm going to wait here for Gu Cang for a while, why don't you enrich these days as much as possible." I opened my mouth and said I wanted to join.
"Mosquitoes. Are you sure you want to? The smoker said to me with a dim expression on his cigarette in his mouth. If it's for us, it doesn't have to be like this, Xiu'er is still at home waiting for you to go back. ”
My hand rested on his shoulder. "Xiu'er doesn't just want me to go back alone, she also hopes that she likes these five big brothers to go back and get together again to drink and laugh."
The smoker grinned rarely.
Seeing that I was really willing to join, the big head didn't want to dissuade me anymore, and asked the old man, "I don't know what this deal is, old man?" ”
The old man took out a pipe at some point, lit a dry cigarette and smoked it. "Since several little brothers have agreed to join, the old man will introduce the situation of this transaction. Where do you start? That's right. The whole Changsha is about to have a big chaos, and when the time comes, the king will be defeated, and the defeated side will be covered with corpses and rivers of blood. By the way, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the old man's side will lose in a mess. ”
Drink! It's a big deal, what the hell are we involved in?
"It's far away to say this, so the old man will give you a brief introduction. Since ancient times, Changsha City has been a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and a place of three religions and nine streams. Just imagine, put all these people in one basket, how can this place not be messy. The situation needs a leader to control these people, after all, most people do not make deals that can be put on the table, if there is no one to manage it all the time, let that group of rabble do nonsense, and finally attract the attention of the authorities, it is not a trivial matter. So in such a situation, the old man was elected to become the steward of the dark side of Changsha City, which is a very thankless job, since the main thing, many forces hostile to the old man at that time are waiting to see the foreign appearance, so the old man still has some masters to help, although the management is not easy, but it can be regarded as arranging things in an orderly manner.
Originally, it was good to go on like this, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune. Just when everyone was developing steadily, there was a big event in Changsha City three years ago: a small sleeping dragon vein in the southwest corner of Changsha City, a hairy child of his own family, accidentally found a large tomb, and rumors spread for a while, and the most popular saying was that there were sacred objects buried in the pre-Qin period in this tomb. ”
