Chapter 579: A Year of Hardship
Boy...... Fu Yunge didn't know what to say in his heart, only sighed. I thought what I saw and heard in Lizhipu was a novelty, but I didn't expect it to be even better elsewhere.
After looking for a long time, he reluctantly drank a bowl of wontons at a small wonton shop and padded his stomach. The owner is a local, but business is not good, and his sigh can be heard across the stall.
Fu Yunge ate a little depressed at this meal. Looking at the porters coming and going outside the door, carrying all kinds of New Year's goods in the basket, he didn't know why, and felt a desolation in his heart.
Counting it, it seems that tomorrow will be a small year.
Glancing at the pastries in the package, he became more and more homesick. I haven't been back for a few months, and my father and sister must miss themselves, right?
With the thought of homesickness, the footsteps always want to leave quickly.
As soon as Fu Yunge stood up, a man with a hurried face walked up. Bypassing him and walking straight to the little owner of the wonton shop, the two of them chatting eagerly as if they were communicating something urgent.
This originally had nothing to do with Fu Yunge. But just as he was about to leave the store, his ears suddenly caught a familiar name.
"But...... Where could he compare to the boss of Duhe at that time......"
"Doh?" Fu Yunge immediately frowned, and turned to look at the two people who were talking.
The two of them were still unaware, still discussing their affairs. Fu Yunge walked back, approaching them, and then sat down in the seat closest to them.
The two of them seemed to completely ignore Fu Yunge's existence, and they were talking passionately. Fu Yunge listened word for word, and his face became more and more surprising, and became more and more heavy.
"The brethren haven't eaten today, but they've been kicked out twice." The man said.
The boss said, "There's really no way, let them come to me to eat." ”
"Boss Liu, now your store is not going to be able to hold up, and everyone can't trouble you. Everyone has been borrowing money from outside for the past two days, and the hard days will always pass. The man said.
“…… Isn't the hard life just beginning now? The boss was silent for a moment, and finally exhaled with a sad face.
The man had nothing to say. The two were silent for a moment before the man looked up again.
"I don't think it's reliable. The leader must be changed. ”
"But who else? You? I? At that time, the brothers chose Xingzai together, and the results are obvious to all. We are all a group of black chickens, and without Boss Duhe, we can only be driven by that group of people forever. ”
The man disagreed with Boss Liu's words: "What are these words?" And none of us can find Boss Du He now, it's useless to say this. If we want to fight with them, we still have to rely on ourselves. ”
But unfortunately, before the man finished speaking, his stomach growled.
Boss Liu sighed, turned around and went to the hot pot behind him, scooped out a bowl of steaming wontons, and pushed it in front of him: "Eat it." You've been running for a day, and you've got to eat a full stomach. ”
The man didn't shirk, he didn't even use a spoon after the bowl, blew a few breaths of cool air, and swallowed the soup with wontons as soon as he raised his head. Fu Yunge was a little surprised, but Boss Liu didn't seem to be surprised, just holding his cheek with one hand, looking ahead with empty eyes and sighing.
Fu Yunge couldn't help but stand up.
However, before he could speak, another hurried voice came from outside the door:
"Ah, I've finally found you. Brother Wang, Boss Liu, go and take a look, the brothers in Xichengkou have suffered again. ”
Suddenly, the faces of the two people in front of the counter changed at the same time. Fu Yunge turned his head and saw a short man panting and talking to the two of them on the door frame, still sweating on his face in the cold weather.
He saw Fu Yunge. After being stunned for a moment, he asked Boss Liu: "This is, the brother you just found?" ”
Boss Liu shook his head: "...... No. It's just a guest. ”
…………
A moment later, Brother Wang and Boss Liu rushed to Xichengkou together. followed by Fu Yunge, and he also came over.
"Little brother, you better go back." Brother Wang persuaded along the way, "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, you will definitely be covered in mud when you wade in troubled waters." ”
Fu Yunge smiled, noncommittal.
The so-called West City Entrance, as the name suggests, is a corner under the west wall of Jiangliang City. Because the wall of Jiangliang City is pocket-shaped, one side is open, and the west city entrance is just on the edge, which is also bordered by the outside of Jiangliang City.
Fu Yunge had never noticed it before, but what he saw today shocked him.
Here, there is a simple tent made of rags. Under the howling north wind, the tarpaulin is whistling. Inside, there were the cries of babies, and standing outside were twenty or so men with hesitant faces.
Dead leaves and slush swirled in clouds of dust, blowing at the sparse place. Fu Yunge was almost dazzled by Huang Chen, rubbing his eyes, but his nose was a little sour.
This is......
Brother Wang and Boss Liu had already stepped forward and asked about everyone's situation.
Looking at the condition of the ground, the dispute is over. However, judging from the appearance of everyone, it does not seem to be optimistic.
"Brother Wang...... You're coming back late, and they've just left. ”
"They said we'd move out of here tomorrow, unless we were willing to be porters for them."
Even if Fu Yunge didn't deliberately listen, the sound of everyone's gossip and conversation still penetrated his ears from time to time. Moreover, it is particularly harsh.
"Nonsense!" Brother Wang waved his fist, "Those birds, think beautifully." What about Xingzai? Let's take him and go to those birds to talk about it! ”
A low voice next to him: "Xingzai...... Uh, he just left. I don't know what to do. ”
Brother Wang didn't seem surprised. He snorted, turned his head to Boss Liu and said, "I know, this bear boy is really bad." I see, we have to call our brothers and choose a new leader. ”
Boss Liu smiled wryly: "Or, you will be the one?" ”
Someone around immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes." Brother Wang, we think you are suitable to be the leader......"
Fu Yunge was still watching and did not speak.
Brother Wang didn't seem to expect that they would elect him, and he was a little at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have mustered up his courage and nodded heavily: "...... What's the big deal! I'll do it, I'll do it! From today onwards, I, Wang Dali, will take the stinky boy for Xingzai and take you to beat away that group of high-nosed monkeys! ”
Immediately, there was a roar of fire. Fu Yunge felt even more noisy, not because his ears were noisy, but because his heart was even more noisy.
High-nosed monkey ...... Sure enough, it was the same as he guessed, but until now, it has also made him a little unclear.
He hadn't understood enough since just now. What is Du He's relationship with them, and why do the outsiders they call "high-nosed monkeys" have a grudge against them?
