Chapter 7: Master and Apprentice

In 1991, at Wuhan Railway Station in Hubei Province, it was a rainy night.

In a dark and damp alley, a middle-aged man in his forties was wearing a long black trench coat, looking tired and nervous, and his body seemed to have some scars. He didn't have an umbrella, the rain soaked all his clothes, and he was accompanied by a child who looked like he was no more than six or seven years old. The boy's face was pale, as if he had just been frightened, and he closed his two small lips tightly, not knowing what he was about to meet.

The two men just stood under a billboard to shelter from the rain, and they didn't talk to each other much.

After a long time, at the end of the alley came a tall man, who looked to be in his thirties, holding a large black umbrella, and walked towards the old man and the young man with a calm and calm gait.

The middle-aged man was smoking, and when he saw someone walking from afar, he quickly threw away the cigarette butt, slid his right hand to the pistol on his waist, and protected the child next to him behind his body, holding his breath and concentrating, fully guarded, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

When the man with the umbrella approached, the middle-aged man was relieved when he saw the man's appearance in the faint light of the street lamp, took his hand off the handle of the gun, and said to the man, "You're late." ”

The man with the umbrella laughed twice and said, "Such a heavy rain, you can forgive it for being late." ”

The middle-aged man said with some displeasure: "This is a matter of life and death for the two of us. ”

The man was a little unhappy when he saw the middle-aged man, but he was not afraid, but said, "Aren't you two okay now?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at the man and sighed secretly, he knew that there was no need to make such an argument now, rather than this, it was better to hurry up.

The middle-aged man said: "Now, Fan Jiyun and I have completely broken up with the people in the organization. The people in the organization didn't know about the relationship between the two of us. Fan Jiyun has not been in the organization for a long time, and the organization will not do anything to him, at most it will only take strict care of him, but I am different, I know too much, and the people of the organization will definitely kill me. ”

The man holding the umbrella didn't answer, he raised his eyebrows, waiting for the middle-aged man to continue to finish speaking.

The middle-aged man continued: "When I left, I chose a newcomer surnamed Liu to take my place, in fact, this is just a trick, with him, the news of the organization in Shenyang will continue for the time being, so that the people of the organization can also know the news of my departure later." ”

The man holding the umbrella seemed a little surprised, and he smiled and said, "What are you going to do?" Going abroad? ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "All in all, I can't continue to stay in the country." ”

The man responded: "I said Brother Jiang, your method of treating the symptoms is not the root cause, although you are also a figure in the police world, but after all, you are just a mortal, if the people of the organization want to kill you, don't you die sooner or later wherever you hide." ”

The middle-aged man named Brother Jiang showed a look of despair, but this look quickly disappeared on his face, and he said, "How can I not know the truth you said." Even if I hadn't been hunted down by the organization, over the years, I had experienced so many strange unsolved cases in the police station, which time was not an errand on the cutting edge? I have taken such things as life and death lightly. ”

The man holding the umbrella laughed twice, as if mocking Brother Jiang, and said, "The matter of life and death has been neglected? Still, you wish you could live one more day, right? ”

Brother Jiang's mind was seen through by the man, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he said: "It doesn't matter what I do, but this child still hopes that you can take him in, he is Fan Jiyun's biological son." ”

When the man holding the umbrella heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, the real Heavenly Imperial Attendant is by his side Fan Jiyun?" ”

Brother Jiang nodded and said, "The reason why Fan Jiyun arranged it like this is so that in the future, he has a big bureau to arrange. ”

"So much so that even his own own son has to take part in it at the risk of his own life?" The man laughed madly when he said this, and said, "This Fan Jiyun is really qualified. ”

Brother Jiang said: "Now, things have developed to this point, I have to escape, and if I have this child with me, it will be bad for me and him, you are now nominally a member of the organization, and Fan Jiyun and I don't know anything about the people in the organization of your relationship, so this child is the safest place for you, no matter what, he is a child, if there is no one to take care of him at this time, he will be very dangerous." ”

The man put away his smile and said, "I understand this, it's just that the conditions are more difficult in the place where I live, and I don't know if this little guy can endure this hardship." ”

After speaking, the man also deliberately looked at the little boy who had been hiding behind Brother Jiang.

As soon as the little boy saw that this strange uncle was looking at him, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, he instinctively felt frightened, so he hid behind Brother Jiang again.

Brother Jiang said: "It's okay if you can survive, Fan Jiyun asked him to follow you, I believe you also know the intention of Lu Dao." ”

The man sighed and said, "I think I've told you more than once, I will never accept any apprentices, you put this child here with me, I just give him food to eat, give him a place to live, after raising him, Fan Jiyun has the final say on what he wants." ”

Brother Jiang was a little embarrassed and said, "Anyway, this child will be entrusted to you." After speaking, Brother Jiang looked at his watch and said, "No, I think I have to go, I can't delay any longer, if I can survive, I'll tell you again." ”

After saying that, Brother Jiang wanted to leave, but after he took two steps, he found that the child behind him was still following him step by step. He looked at the little boy, and felt a little unbearable, after all, he had raised this child with his own hands for the past seven years, and there were feelings in it.

Brother Jiang squatted down, put his two big hands on the little boy's shoulders, and said: "Little one, listen, I am not your father, I told you this a long time ago, because I know that instead of hiding it from you and waiting until one day you find out the truth yourself, it is better to tell you the truth as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Brother Jiang looked at the little boy's frightened eyes, a little unbearable, but he continued: "Uncle Jiang doesn't know whether you were lucky or unlucky to be born, probably this is fate." You're going to follow that uncle, don't be afraid, he's scary, but he's not bad. You have to follow him, learn a little more from him, and then you will meet your father, who is a great man, but ...... It's just that sometimes it seems too stubborn...... Too...... It's so decisive. ”

After speaking, Brother Jiang raised his ass and strode away, this time, he never looked back at the little boy, he didn't dare to look back, he didn't dare to face the little man's eyes again.

After Brother Jiang left, he left behind the man holding the umbrella and the little boy.

The man looked at him from behind the little boy and found that the little boy's body was shaking, and the heavy rain was mercilessly slapping on the little boy's body, as if it was about to slap his thin body to the ground.

The man walked up to the little boy with an umbrella and said to himself, "Oh my God, don't cry, it's killing me." ”

However, when the man walked in with the little boy, he looked at the little boy's expression and stayed there for a moment.

The little boy was indeed very sad and excited, his eyes were already full of tears, but the little boy did not cry, he bit his lips to death, and his two little fists were clenched tightly. The man could see that the little boy was trying his best to control his emotions, which should have been completely out of control.

Although the man is in his thirties, he has always been single, and his job has him spending most of his time dealing with scheming adults and dead people, he rarely sees children, and he even doesn't know how to talk to children.

"Uh...... Little thing, will you come with me? The man asked.

The little boy nodded, he didn't speak, he couldn't speak now, as soon as he spoke, tears would surely flow uncontrollably.

"That'...... Let's go. The man said with some smugness.
