Chapter 41 It's not the old man who gets bad It's the bad guy who gets old
Li Brahma left Wen Wan, motioned for them to wait, and walked towards the crowd.
Li Brahma finally squeezed into the crowd, and did not climb the high platform where the foreman was, but approached Wang Xun and said, "I am the person in charge of this project. ”
Wang Xun looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled expression. If this is really to build a residence for all the veterans in the clan land, then this is a huge project, but I didn't expect the person in charge to be the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him. But seeing the respectful look of the person who spoke before, it should be true.
After Wang Xun dispelled the doubts in his heart, he said: "Is this really built for our veterans?" Wang Xun didn't make any detours, and directly raised the questions in his heart.
Li Brahma nodded and replied, "Yes."
Li Brahma's voice was not loud, but he was still a little immature because of his age, but the many old people in front of him didn't care. What they care about is Li Brahma's answer, yes or no, the relationship is not a simple answer, but the future life of tens of thousands of veterans in the clan.
Sure enough, after Li Brahma admitted it, the veterans in the audience were filled with expressions, either joy, or shock, or Wang Xun's ease in front of Li Brahma. From the first time he heard that someone wanted to build a residence for a veteran like himself, he put it down when Li Brahma said it.
"Is it all?"
"Is it free?"
"When will you be able to live there?"
......
All kinds of questions came from the restless crowd to Li Brahma's ears, and Wang Xun did not stop him, because he was also waiting for Li Brahma's answer.
"It's all and it's free, but I don't know when it's going to be built because I don't have the money. Li Brahma still spoke plainly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Perhaps it was this breezy expression that angered the veterans, who suddenly became angry when they heard that the promise just now turned out to be just a blank check without the slightest reality, and then thought of their staggering steps, and rushed all the way here, and I don't know how many people fell on the road, and in the end they found out that they had been deceived. is even more angry, and the sky-high anger ignites the blood that they have long forgotten.
I used to be young, when I carried a knife and a gun, killed orcs on the battlefield, and drank spirits in the military tent. But when he got old, he was bullied and scolded, and he lived like a beggar. Now he heard the ethereal news that he was going to build a house for himself, and he came here together, and it was ridiculous that he still had fantasies about his future life, but who would build a house for a useless beggar.
The angry old man didn't know who was the first to come out, and Li Brahma only heard a sentence in the crowd, "Old brothers, we have been played." ”
"Hit him. ”
The old people pushed and shoved uncontrollably around Li Brahma, swearing in their mouths, the wife of the dignified leader of the Wolf Smoke Legion didn't know what kind of scolding she had become*, and the current patriarch of the Li family didn't know how many bad words he hadn't cursed.
Seeing this situation, Wen Wan was extremely worried about what danger Li Brahma would have, so she immediately raised her feet and rushed towards the crowd, but fortunately she was stopped by Li Qing, otherwise a weak woman didn't know what would happen in this kind of scene.
"Sister-in-law, you just wait here, there is absolutely nothing to do with me and Brother Wu Taotian. Li Qing stabilized Wen Wan, who was already about to break down, called Wu Tao and rushed towards the crowd. Also went to Lao Tang and others.
Don't look at these veterans are all old people in their last years, but there are many people, and it is very difficult for a foundation-building monk like Li Qing to squeeze in. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Qing and the others don't really want to do it, just like Li Brahma who is now besieged to the center.
Li Brahma was not angered by the evil words of many old men, nor was he alarmed by such a chaotic status quo, because there was still a row of sturdy workers between Li Brahma and the angry veterans. When the veterans rushed forward in anger, the men immediately formed a human wall in front of Li Brahma.
The human wall separated the crowd, and Li Brahma was still calm when he stood on the side, but this did not mean that he did not have any movements, because the eyes that fell on Wang Xun changed from gentle to dull and finally turned cold.
Even Wang Xun, who had killed enemies on the battlefield for decades, could feel a chill in his gaze.
Wang Xun's body trembled impatiently, even if the tremor was small, Wang Xun still felt it, because he felt scared.
Fear is a basic emotion for everyone, but everyone will be ashamed of it. Just like Wang Xun now, he was ashamed because of the trembling just now, and he raised his chest even more, and still met Li Brahma's gaze despite the cold.
When people are afraid, they will eventually say a few bold words to strengthen their courage, Wang Xun raised his head and shouted at Li Brahma: "Building a residence for family veterans is a special fund approved by the military department, and now you actually say that you have no money, and say that you are not blacked out by the money of the military department." ”
Wang Xun's words were so full of emotion that every veteran in the front row could hear it clearly, and the chaotic crowd broke out again*.
The veteran had suffered resentment in the clan land for many years, and finally broke out in the invisible encouragement of many companions around him. The veterans turned from the original insults to a real riot, the veterans close to the human wall raised their crutches and dared to hit the workers who were stronger than themselves, and even the veterans in the back row dared to pick up the bricks next to them and throw them at the workers. Although because of the lack of strength of the veterans, when he was young, the heavy bricks only fell in the air in a perfect arc on the heads of his companions who were slightly higher than him. But this did not reduce the pressure on the workers of the veterans, because the veterans in the front row felt the hot pain on their heads and became even more angry, because he did not know who had killed him, so he could only settle the account on Li Brahma's head.
The workers, who had been hit in the body with a cane, were also enraged, so he began to scuffle with the veterans. The workers relied on their young and sturdy physical strength to knock all the nearby veterans to the ground, and the veterans relied on the large number of people, and more than a dozen people also crushed the sturdy workers to the ground, and they all did not care about being pressed to the lowest level, and had begun to hold back their red faces and roll their eyes.
This kind of seemingly hilarious scene still did not affect Li Brahma, because a dozen people had already protected Li Brahma more perfectly, and the rest of the veterans did not step forward, because they all raised their crutches in their hands and aimed at the heads of the workers and the flesh that was finally exposed.
Li Brahma still ignored this different battle between the workers and the veterans, as if he could not see or hear at all.
"I know people are going to come to me for trouble, but I don't know if it's you or it's relying on this kind of indiscriminate means. Li Brahma said this kind of thing to Wang Xun with an expressionless face, and even Li Qing, who had just come to Li Brahma's side, was confused by the second monk. Could it be that Brother Tian knows this veteran?
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know you. Wang Xun tried his best to calm himself down, but the slightly trembling voice and floating eyes still fell in Li Brahma's eyes.
"Wang Xun, enlisted in the Wolf Smoke Legion in 3927 of the family calendar, served as the commander of the Wolf Smoke Legion's personal guard battalion, and in 3955 of the family calendar, he followed the commander of the regiment Li Yuanhao to ride deep into the Beast Mountain Fire Tribe, beheaded nine enemies, was seriously injured, and retired early. Li Brahma opened his mouth slightly, and said that Wang Xun's military experience was not far from ten.
"You... How do you know?" Wang Xun's body finally couldn't help but start trembling.
"My name is Li Brahma, and Li Yuanhao is my father. After Li Brahma finished speaking, he flipped his palm, took out a long box wrapped in red cloth from the storage ring and handed it to Wang Xun, then he didn't say anything, turned around and left, leaving Wang Xun alone holding the red box here in a daze.
Wang Xun was stunned when Li Brahma told him his identity, and he picked up this red box as a conscious move.
"That young man just now turned out to be the general's son. Wang Xun began to feel at a loss, but he still lifted the red cloth that wrapped the box.
The red cloth was lifted, and the box in Wang Xun's hand revealed its true face, the box was an ordinary box, it was not a precious wood and there was no slightest pattern.
Wang Xun opened the box, and his eyes only touched the contents of the box for a moment, and he was stunned, and then he actually opened his mouth and laughed. "Haha, haha. The laughter was heroic, mixed with the cold wind, and spread far away.
The laughter attracted the attention of the workers and veterans who were beating together, and everyone looked up at Wang Xun. found that Wang Xun turned from laughing to crying, "Hehe, haha." Laughter was accompanied by sobbing, and it seemed so lonely.
"Boom. Wang Xun knelt on the ground, hugged the box tightly in his arms, and couldn't cry. The red cloth that wrapped the box slowly faded into the air as the cold wind blew through the air.
The sudden situation made everyone present unclear, so they all stopped their movements and looked at Wang Xun. The veterans don't understand why their most trusted brother is like this.
Li Qing didn't quite understand either, so he asked Li Brahma beside him, "Brother Tian'er, what's in the box?"
"It's an old-fashioned war knife from the Wolf Smoke Legion. ”
Li Qing still didn't understand why an old-fashioned war knife would make Wang Xun cry like this, but he didn't ask, because he saw an old man, wearing tattered cotton clothes, holding a war knife and crying in the cold wind, and the miserable cry made Li Qing want to cry a little.
Wang Xun laughed and cried like a madman, letting the snot and tears drip on his already soaked chest. This scene frightened the entire veterans into fright, but in the end, one veteran mustered up the courage to walk in front of Wang Xun.
The veteran soldier may have just come out of the battle, his cane had been broken in half, and he was now holding an iron rod for construction that he had found somewhere. I don't know who cracked the corner of my eye. The old man came to Wang Xun with staggering steps, trying to calm down the voice that was wheezing because he was walking too quickly. said with concern: "Lao Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Xun didn't say anything, still fell to the ground and cried.
This frightened the old man, and said angrily: "Is it because of that kid just now, I will take my brothers to settle accounts with him." ”
Wang Xun heard that the old man was going to find trouble with Li Brahma, so he raised his head and said, "No, you can't go." ”
Wang Xun is already old, and he laughed and cried wildly after his emotions were out of control, and now his voice has become hoarse and dry.
When the old man heard Wang Xun's voice, he was even more heartbroken, and thought that Wang Xun was afraid of Li Brahma. said even more angrily: "It's really God's eyes, it's all about letting those villains be in charge, greedy for the money of the military department, and wanting people to beat us to death." ”
"No, I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault. Wang Xun's hoarse voice erupted violently, it was a kind of roar, full of regret and chagrin.
The old man was stunned on the spot, looked at Wang Xun's appearance, and said in a daze: "What the hell is going on?"
Li Brahma had already returned to the door of the old Tang House, and from the time he handed over the old-fashioned war knife to Wang Xun, he knew that this matter no longer needed to be taken care of by him.
"Wu Tao, you go and call all the workers back, and let the veterans handle this matter themselves. ”
Wu Tao answered, and went to gather the workers. A fight can be said to be very chaotic, both shots are angry, but the workers are young and strong, and there are no serious injuries. It's hard to say about the veterans, after all, they are old, and a few of them are already lying on the ground and weak. Wu Tao took the pills for them one by one, and there was no big problem.
Li Qing stood behind Li Brahma, looking at where Li Brahma and Wen Wan were showing affection, and still asked without an eye: "Brother Tian'er, what the hell is going on, I don't understand it myself." ”
Li Brahma said: "Actually, Wang Xun was found by others to find us trouble, we are only in the pilot stage of building a residence for veterans, and no one knows, but today there are so many veterans coming to us, don't you think it's strange?"
Li Qing said: "It's really a bit of a problem to say this, but even if someone comes to trouble us, how do you know which old man it is, and how do you know that it's Wang Xun?"
Li Brahma said: "Wang Xun is a veteran of the Wolf Smoke Legion, and he once reported on his duties in my father's guard battalion. ”
Li Qing asked again: "Then the battle knife you gave Wang Xun was prepared by you a long time ago?"
Li Brahma said: "I'm not a fairy, how could I be ready, it was given to me by my grandfather when I participated in the big competition, a ring thing, that was found when I sorted it out myself, the package was so tight, I thought it was a treasure." ”
Li Qing wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Li Brahma and said, "Okay, okay, why do I have so many questions? Go and help Wu Tao clean up the venue, there will be something to do later." ”
Li Qing had no choice but to shut up and leave.
Li Brahma thought that he could be pure for a while, but he saw Wen Wan raise his head and look at him. Li Brahma smiled at Wen Wan and said, "You also have a problem?"
Wen Wan shook her head lightly and said, "No, I just think you're so smart." After Wen Wan finished speaking, she smiled at Li Brahma, and the white white teeth she showed looked extremely naughty.
