69. I am not a widow
(The chapters are wonderful, I have to read them!, I don't know if you are satisfied with this ending?)
The night breeze is gentle.
The chill was icy.
The autumn nights in Shouzhou always feel like they come quickly, making people confused.
The warm sun of the day still lingers in every part of the body, but it suddenly sinks into a cold world.
Fortunately, there will be a warm sun the next day, and talents will not always be at a loss.
Ha Yiliu seems to have long been accustomed to living such a life.
Although he knew that he was still very lonely and indifferent, He Yiliu's heart was warm.
On the table in front of him, the wild boar meat boiling in a hanging pot was hotter than his heart at the moment.
When a tall man stepped on the threshold of this porridge house, Ha Yiliu suddenly understood many things.
He knew that he had not worked in vain these days, and that his efforts had resonated with him more than anything else.
Therefore, his face was still so calm and cold, much like this autumn night.
"Sure enough, it's you!" said He Yiliu coldly to the visitor.
The tall man bowed his fist to He Yiliu and saluted, and said respectfully: "The Great Elder of the Qilin Gang, Ma Mingshan, meets the Great Protector!"
He Yiliu said "hmm", did not return the salute, still sitting, raised his eyes to look at him for a while, and suddenly asked:
"Tell me, did you set the fire to Yuelai Restaurant?"
Among the gangs in the rivers and lakes, the status of the Great Elder is under the deputy gang leader and the three protectors, who are in charge of the internal affairs of the gang, and upload and distribute.
Ma Mingshan is the Great Elder, he is calm, proficient in gang rules, good at communication, and is definitely a good hand at being the big butler of the Qilin Gang.
"Yes!" Ma Mingshan replied standing upright.
He Yiliu motioned for him to sit down opposite him, poured a glass of wine for Ma Mingshan, and continued, "Why?"
Ma Mingshan drank the wine down, his eyes didn't dare to look at He Yiliu, only stared at the meat in the hanging pot.
"Second Protector Gu Liangzi, Third Protector Huang Baisong, and Second Elder Hou Yinnan, they didn't shed tears when they didn't see the coffin that night, they were red-eyed, and they must have made the Great Protector in a dilemma at that time, right? ”
"Yes, they're on order, but I can't kill them. ”
"So I had to set a fire to help you out. ”
Ma Mingshan glanced at it secretly, saw that He Yiliu's face was solemn, and said cautiously: "Am I wrong?"
Ma Mingshan loves to figure out people's psychology the most, which is his specialty.
He Yiliu said: "No, under the weight, you did a good job, and in a hurry, there is no better choice than to put a big fire." ”
Ma Mingshan put a piece of meat into his mouth, and said proudly: "I know that a fire can burn many people, but it will definitely not burn you top masters, so I did it, and I did it thoroughly." Besides, Yuelai Restaurant was originally the business place of the Golden Dragon Gang, so there was nothing wrong with burning it. ”
He Yiliu also drank a glass of wine.
Thinking of his days in Yuelai Restaurant, thinking of Tang Lanxiang, and thinking of the fat chefs, He Yiliu felt a little lost.
He Yiliu sighed and suddenly asked, "You have been following me all along?"
Ma Mingshan said embarrassedly: "It's protection." ”
He Yiliu said: "Can you tell me what happened to those flying knives?"
Ma Mingshan smiled: "It was Boss Xu who asked me to do this, and he asked me to remind you to remember your mission at all times." ”
He Yiliu said: "No wonder every time I concentrate on other things, a small knife flies towards me in secret, and a dragon is drawn on it, which is crossed, and it turns out that you are sending a dart." ”
Ma Mingshan hurriedly explained: "I sent the dart to remind you, and there is no malicious intent in attacking. Except for the time when Gu Liangzi used a boomerang to kill Tang Lanxiang, I exerted enough strength, because Tang Lanxiang can't die, if she dies, it will be difficult for you to break into the Golden Dragon Gang. ”
"That dart was sent well and in time, but I didn't expect that the internal strength of the Great Elder was enough to be comparable to Gu Liangzi, why didn't I usually see it. He Yiliu praised softly,
Ma Mingshan was embarrassed to hey twice, and drank another glass of wine.
He Yiliu looked at Ma Mingshan's smug expression, and couldn't help but say, "Second Hall Master Ma Changyong was seriously injured, and you did it too?"
Ma Mingshan was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, and then said: "The Great Protector doesn't know, that night, you and Qiu Yefei faced the Second Protector, the Third Protector and the Second Elder, I was really worried that you would really fight, and it was not Boss Xu's original intention to hurt anyone, and it was just the second hall master Ma Changyong who brought people to support, so I had to stop him halfway, so I wounded Ma Changyong head-on, forcing him to send out three arrows to call for help, so I was able to relieve you from the siege." ”
He Yiliu nodded: "So that's the case, it's the same as I expected." ”
Suddenly, He Yiliu asked again: "Did you use Shaolin Kung Fu to slap Ma Changyong? If I remember correctly, you never revealed that you have Shaolin Kung Fu." ”
Ma Mingshan raised his eyebrows, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said slowly: "In the Qilin Gang, everyone knows that I can only use one set of Tongjian boxing, in fact, before my debut, I once followed a Shaolin monk to learn Shaolin boxing......"
"It's the Shaolin God Palm. "He Yiliu rushed to the road.
"It's a pity that I've only learned one of the eight hits in the Divine Palm, the Split Heart Palm. ”
"The Split Heart Palm specializes in the human heart, and once it is hit by the palm, it will break the heart and lead to death. ”
"In a hurry, I don't know how to make this move, but I want to solve it quickly, maybe it's really heavy......" Ma Mingshan sighed.
The two of them sullenly drank a glass of wine.
The night was dark. There are very few guests in the porridge house anymore.
Ha Yiliu no longer has any doubts, because all the doubts of these days have been solved, although many times they can only rely on their own guesses, but in the end they are so fit.
"Can you tell me about Boss Xu?" asked He Yiliu as he picked up his wine glass, his eyes like thorns.
"Boss Xu's plan was originally known only to three people, he knows it, and Deputy Gang Leader Mei knows, since you ordered to kill Deputy Gang Leader Mei, Boss Xu was worried that the killers of the Kirin Gang were too pestering you, so he asked me to escort you in secret, and I became the third person to know about this secret plan. ”
"So, don't you think you're conflicted when you're planning to kill me while protecting me?" said Ha Yiliu.
Ma Mingshan also smiled: "Who can kill you He Yiliu in the rivers and lakes today? I must do things as realistically as possible, so that it will be more beneficial for you to complete the task as soon as possible." ”
"You even didn't hesitate to use the secret organization of the Qilin Gang, the Moon Killing Class!" Ha Yiliu's gaze was fierce.
Ma Mingshan was stunned: "Yes, Wu's father and son and Xia Lotus are members of the Killing Moon Class, but it is not a pity for them to die, because they are all stupid, there is more than enough success and failure, one dies for wealth, the other dies for love, they deserve to die, they die to them, and the Killing Moon Class is more pure." ”
He Yiliu stared at Ma Mingshan's face, and really wanted to punch him so much that his mouth and nose spurted blood.
"Do you know that you're dangerous yourself, and you're a damn person. He Yiliu said softly.
"I don't see it. Ma Mingshan spread his hands in front of He Yiliu.
"I want to kill you with one slash!"
"I can kill me, but don't forget the deal you made with Elder Xu. Ma Mingshan pretended to be calm and forced a smile.
He Yiliu felt the sachet in her arms tremble, and suddenly remembered Tang Lanxiang's words:
"Ha Yiliu is definitely a person who does big things!"
Ha Yiliu is now a person with a dual identity, with the Kirin Gang on one side and the Golden Dragon Gang on the other, which is the result of these days.
There is also an extremely important deal waiting to be completed by himself.
He Yiliu's heart is pretending to be his parents who died on the one hand, and the dirty rivers and lakes on the other.
Pale and has to make He Yiliu must always stay awake, otherwise, he will definitely rot to death in the rivers and lakes.
Late autumn nights.
In addition to indifference, there is also a passionate heart.
Suddenly, the door was dark, and a woman walked in.
She has a round face, crimson cheeks, white lips and teeth, and looks like a big ripe cherry.
This face is so familiar that when I saw it, He Yiliu couldn't help but rub his eyes.
"Widow Chen, are you Widow Chen?!" He Yiliu wondered.
The woman didn't say anything, so she found a seat and sat down, and said to the shopkeeper who was serving behind her: "I want a bowl of white rice porridge and two scallion pancakes, be fast!"
After giving the order, she took out a stack of white flowers from a bamboo basket beside her and tied up the paper flowers, tied the first one, and solemnly inserted it into her hair bun, without looking at He Yiliu.
He Yiliu stood up, came to her side, silently watched her tie a few white paper flowers, and suddenly asked:
"You're the proprietress who buys funeral goods?"
"That's right. ”
"You're still a widow?"
"Did you see me wearing a white flower? Actually, it's red. ”
"Why is it red?"
"In the eyes of all women who wear white flowers, it is red. ”
"Are you Widow Chen?"
"My surname is Chen, but I am not a widow, I have a man, and I have always been guarded by me. ”
He Yiliu's heart trembled, he understood that Widow Chen did not leave, she was going to stay in this Shouzhou City for the rest of her life, because Zhu Yu was buried here.
"Aren't you really the elusive Widow Chen in the rivers and lakes?"
"It's not fun to fight and kill in the rivers and lakes, there are lives, some people die, and life and death are all up to fate. It's better for us to make a deal, in this way, you will have one more scenery, and I will have one less frown, don't believe it, you will go to my shop tomorrow to have a look. ”
After listening to the woman's words, Ha Yiliu smiled.
Ha Yiliu smiled, and the whole night also smiled.
When you smile in the night, the warm sun will come out.
As long as there is a warm sun, what is the cold?
