Chapter 22: The Choice
"Brother Ming, then you say...... What to do? That scar must have sent someone to watch, and he can't escape if he wants to......"
Lao Li Tou looked at Jiang Ming with a look of hope, as if he was the only lifesaver now.
Li Qingqing also wiped his tears and looked at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming sighed, in all fairness, he had a good impression of the family, and he didn't want to see anything happen to them.
But Jiang Ming is not a virgin, in case that Li Zhuangzhen does something offensive in the city, it will end up like this...... It's no wonder that no one else is to blame.
"Lieber, if you need money...... I can lend it to you. Jiang Ming was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "But how to deal with this matter, I can't decide for you...... You have to think about whether you can really solve this matter by handing over the money to the old scar. ”
Lao Li Tou looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed heavily.
"It seems that this old Li Tou does know some real things...... Jiang Ming said secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, and returned to his home.
In the cold room, the tea on the stove was smoking.
Jiang Ming looked at the bubbling water surface and whispered to himself:
"After the New Year, I will go to Fucheng to learn martial arts...... It would be unwise to take the initiative to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"The person next to the old scar is most likely the master of the Old Snake Gang...... It seems that Li Zhuang's crime is not ordinary, otherwise he would not have been tracked down from Fucheng to Ping'an Town. ”
"Besides, what Li Zhuang did, whether it was good or bad, I don't know......"
"Immortality...... There will be more and more troubles in the future, if I take care of them all, where will I have time to cultivate......"
"Provoke the Old Snake Gang...... It doesn't match Gou Dao, it doesn't match Gou Dao! ”
If he left it alone, he had nothing to lose...... But if it does, it may cause a lot of trouble.
Jiang Ming drank tea, his eyes slightly closed, calming his mind...... He can agree to borrow some silver, which is already very good, who else can take out so much silver to solve the trouble for Lao Li?
But the tea on the stove was boiling more and more, and the gurgling and noisy people were upset.
Jiang Ming simply lay on the bed, and the quilt was ready to sleep, but after tossing for a long time, he almost kicked the bed board out of a hole......
"!"
Jiang Ming threw off the quilt and went out directly with the head of the chicken nest.
Towards evening, the weather was freezing and snowing, and there were hardly any people on the streets.
Jiang Ming walked distraughtly, leaving a series of crooked footprints on the snow......
Tavern.
Old Jiang Tou looked at the sloppy Jiang Ming, and was a little stunned: "What happened?" ”
It was the first time he had seen Jiang Ming like this.
"Jiang Ye, what do you know about Lao Li Tou's son?" Jiang Ming asked straight to the point.
"That Li Zhuang?" Old Jiang Tou looked startled, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do...... The person invited by the old scar today is the master of the old snake gang in the city. ”
Jiang Ming drank wine and did not speak.
Old Jiang Tou shook his head helplessly, and said slowly: "I haven't heard much, I only know that Li Zhuang is a servant for the young master of the Shi family, and he never causes trouble, but he only complained to his father that he doesn't want to do it in the Shi family, so the young master of the Shi family is not a good thing...... This time, I guess it has something to do with the Shi family. ”
Jiang Ming stuffed the smoked tofu fiercely, no wonder the Old Snake Gang would come forward...... The current Old Snake Gang is almost equivalent to a dog of the Shi family, doing all the dirty work.
"Don't be impulsive, provoke the Shi family...... No one in the Great Cloud Mansion can save you. As soon as the old Jiang Tou saw Jiang Ming's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded.
"How could it be......" Jiang Ming pulled out an ugly smile and poured a sip of wine: "But I always feel unhappy." ”
Old Jiang Tou sighed: "Nothing is important to be alive, everyone has everyone's life, no matter what happens to Lao Li Tou's family, as long as it is not caused by you...... You don't have to feel guilty. ”
Jiang Ming drank without saying a word, and it was getting late unconsciously......
Late at night.
Rao is Jiang Ming's martial arts physique, and he is a little drunk when he drinks, but his heart is becoming more and more uncalm.
"Master Jiang, I'll go first!" Drinking didn't take pleasure, Jiang Ming picked up a pot of wine and turned to leave.
The town was silent, and Jiang Ming walked alone, looking at the starry sky overhead, but suddenly remembered the expectations he made for the future when he had just obtained the golden finger of "immortality".
One day, he will be at the highest place, sitting and watching the endless scenery!
"If there is really such a day, I am invincible in the world, overlooking everything in the world......" Jiang Ming said to himself in his heart: "So, will I think of today's events, will I remember what happened to Li Bo and Li Qingqing......
Walking and walking, Jiang Ming was already approaching his small courtyard.
At this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly saw a bright light in front of him, and it seemed to ...... It's Lao Litou's house.
"Not good!" Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly sped up his speed and rushed towards Lao Li Tou's house.
In the distance, some voices could already be heard.
"Hahaha, Master Scar's calculation is really accurate, and he knows that as soon as he finds trouble with Lao Litou, this guy will come back...... We haven't been on guard for long, so we caught it. ”
"Hey, if you want me to say that even his sister is tied up together, let the brothers enjoy it first, and then send it to Qinghe Tower, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds......"
"Huh? You're a clever boy! ”
When Jiang Ming rushed into the courtyard, he saw Li Zhuang, who he had seen during the day, who was tied up with a thick hemp rope at this time, and his face was full of blood, extremely miserable, and he had passed out.
And Lao Li Tou and Li Qingqing and his wife were kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
And the object of their begging for mercy was the three gangsters who had appeared during the day, holding torches at this time, looking down on the Li family with a look of anger.
Jiang Ming shook his head secretly, the old scar's so-called gambling money and renting a house...... It's all to force this Li Zhuang to come out, but I didn't expect to be caught so quickly.
He asked Lao Li Tou not to look for Li Zhuang, but he couldn't stop Li Zhuang from throwing himself into the net.
When everyone saw Jiang Ming rushing in, they all turned their heads to see that the faces of Lao Li Tou and Li Qingqing showed a hint of disbelief and joy.
And the three gangsters had gloomy faces, and one of the leaders immediately scolded: "Jiang Ming, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise I will arrest you together today." ”
Jiang Ming smiled, waved his hand again and again, "How dare I meddle in my affairs, I'm just curious...... What kind of evil thing did this Li Zhuang do, so that he made the brothers so excited? ”
"Hmph, if you want to blame him, blame him for seeing what he shouldn't see, and hearing what he shouldn't hear!"
"A little deflated three, still want to escape from the palm of the Shi family and my old snake gang? I don't know how high the sky is high ......."
The two gangsters are both hangers.
"Okay, don't say a few words that shouldn't be said." The leading gangster turned his head and shouted, then looked at Jiang Ming coldly, and said disdainfully: "Don't think that if you fight a few minions in Ping'an Town, you will take yourself seriously, you can't afford to get involved in this matter, get out of here." ”
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, it turned out that it wasn't because he had done anything wrong, but just because he knew something he shouldn't know......
"Shi family, Shi family, ......"
Jiang Ming muttered, thinking of those medicine pickers who disappeared a few months ago.
They are trying to survive in this world, they are the same as Li Zhuang, they just want to live, what's wrong?
"...... I talk to you, don't you hear? The leading thug walked up to Jiang Ming and pushed him by the shoulder.
Burst~
There was a soft sound, and the voice of the leading gangster stopped abruptly.
He slowly looked down, and a fist pierced his chest at some point......
