Chapter 324: Meritorious Service for Guilt
The group of strong men around the shopkeeper Lu originally thought that danger was coming, but each of them shook their spirits and showed a feeling of seeing death as home, and each of them knew in their hearts how important this battle to defend the shopkeeper Lu was for those of them who had become crippled.
They had already offended Boss Lu, and they were already bound to be swept away, but this unexpected appearance made their fate take a turn for the better.
As long as they seize this opportunity and do their best in the process of protecting Shopkeeper Lu, even if they lose their lives in the end, as long as they can protect Shopkeeper Lu's safety, their family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
It is precisely because they know this that they are ready to sacrifice their lives when preparing for this battle, and at the same time, they also hope that those young men will quickly lose their minds and rush over, because only in this way can they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and leave a way for their families to live.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and looking forward to the end, what they waited for was disappointment, because under Zhou Ming's intervention, those young guys, I don't know what nonsense they heard in the end, actually gave up the idea of making trouble.
Seeing this scene, the strong men were all discouraged, because they understood that they who missed this opportunity might only have a dead end in the future.
There were a few small-minded people among the big men, and they even started crying, and while crying, they scolded the little guy opposite:
"These bastards, why are they so cowardly? Before we could do it, we changed our minds, isn't this playing with us? ”
"As soon as they heard the persuasion of others, we were miserable, where are we going to eat in the future?"
Shopkeeper Lu was impatient with their quarrel, so he put on a straight face and said angrily: "Shut up all of them, let me hear you complain again, and I'll let people throw you out now." ”
When the strong men heard this, they were all so frightened that they were speechless.
Shopkeeper Lu stretched out his hand and pointed to the strong men standing in front of him: "You guys get out of the way, don't block my sight." ”
As soon as he heard this, a few strong men standing in front of him limped away, and they muttered in their hearts as they walked, this Lu shopkeeper is really not a person, when there was danger just now, our brothers risked their lives, stood in front of him, protected him, he didn't dare to say a word of, now that the danger has passed, he thinks that a few of us are useless, so he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and immediately drove us away.
Although the scale of this money bank is large enough, but with such a shopkeeper, it will definitely not be better in the future.
Although they had a lot of complaints in their hearts, they still wanted to stay in the money village and eat together, so they did not show this negative emotion.
After stabilizing his companion's emotions, Dashan finally had time to continue to tell his experience, but after looking back and seeing Zhou Ming's face, he was a little worried, afraid that after such a long time, Zhou Ming was no longer interested in listening to his own story.
In order to test Zhou Ming's mind, he took a few steps forward, and then said with some shame: "Zhuangman, don't be surprised, my brothers and I are all rough and straight, and they haven't read since they were children, so when they encounter something, they are easy to get emotional and go to extremes."
The reason why they showed that excited look just now, and said some things that shouldn't have been said, was actually not malicious to you and Shopkeeper Lu, it was all a misunderstanding. ”
Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, muttering secretly in his heart, this mountain is really a little too much, even if you don't explain it like this, I won't do anything to your brothers, after all, this is Boss Lu's family matter, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere.
"Brother Dashan, if you say so, you will see the outside, everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and they are temperamental, so I won't take these small problems to heart at all." Zhou Zhou Ming said impassionedly, "As for what Shopkeeper Lu thinks, you don't need to worry, people who have seen the world are people, how can they be as knowledgeable as you little guys." ”
Dashan nodded, feeling that Zhou Zhou Ming had a point.
Those young men on the side, after listening to Zhou Ming's words, they realized how excessive their actions were just now, if Shopkeeper Lu held them accountable afterwards, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
The place where Shopkeeper Lu sat was some distance away from Zhou Ming and them, but he could still hear the conversation between them just now.
Although the shopkeeper Lu is usually kind-hearted, but because of his outstanding ability, his style of acting is arbitrary, and he usually hates others to make decisions for himself without his consent, but after listening to Zhou Ming's words for himself just now, he not only did not get angry in his heart, but felt that Zhou Ming's words were very decent, and he may have personally come forward to deal with this matter, and he is not as high as Zhou Ming's level of speaking.
The strong men on the side, naturally also know the character of the shopkeeper Lu, they heard that Zhou Ming took the position for him without the consent of the shopkeeper Lu, they felt very angry at first, and then everyone's eyes lit up, and immediately felt that this was a great opportunity to provoke the relationship between them, so they couldn't help but say, they all gathered around the shopkeeper Lu and slandered him.
"Shopkeeper Lu, that hairy boy is actually bold enough to be the master for you, and he does this without taking you seriously."
"I said a long time ago that he was not a good thing, but now he really shows his fox tail, shopkeeper, as long as you say a word, I will teach him a lesson for you now."
Shopkeeper Lu glanced at them in disgust, and then said angrily: "Are you still finished?" I tell you that your heroic act of protecting me has won me some favor, and I am considering whether or not to retract my decision to get rid of you, but if you keep chattering like this and doing things in front of me, you will not blame me for being ruthless. ”
After listening to this reprimand, the strong men immediately lowered their heads in fright, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, they were all thinking in their hearts, is the shopkeeper Lu old and confused? What they said just now was obviously fighting for him, why didn't he appreciate it at all, but reprimanded them so ruthlessly.
While everyone was puzzled, they were scolding Shopkeeper Lu for not being a thing, but after thinking for a while, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in what Shopkeeper Lu said just now.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all smiled.
Because while the shopkeeper Lu was scolding them just now, he also revealed a message in his words, that is, he himself was very grateful to them for saving themselves just now, so he was considering whether to continue to keep them in the money village to do things.
After understanding this meaning, the strong men threw all the anger in their hearts towards Shopkeeper Lu out of the clouds, and in turn, they all regarded Shopkeeper Lu as their great benefactor, because they all knew that the reason why Shopkeeper Lu said this must have decided to leave them behind.
While they were happy, they thanked the young men in their hearts, because if they hadn't made trouble just now, they wouldn't have had a chance to move Shopkeeper Lu.
After knowing Zhou Ming's thoughts, Dashan hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage and said to Zhou Ming: "Zhuangman, in fact, I haven't finished my words just now, I don't know if I still have this honor now, continue to finish my experience."
Of course, if you don't have time, forget it. ”
After hearing this request, Zhou Zhou Ming chuckled in his heart, thinking that Dashan was too eyeless, and the shopkeeper Lu called them, originally to ask them to deal with Steward Li quickly, but because of a few words, he chattered endlessly in front of me, if you listen to his experience, it is estimated that it will be almost dark.
He subconsciously looked outside, and found that the sun was getting higher and higher, and he muttered to himself, just now before he came to Qianzhuang, he asked the coachman to wait for him for a while, and he would go back immediately, but he didn't expect that it would be a long time coming, and the coachman couldn't wait for him to go back, and he must have been in a hurry.
And what worries him even more is that Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang should already be in the yamen of the General Affairs Office at this time, if they see them and can't see their shadows for a long time, Han Pingzhi will definitely be furious and take out anger on them, and then these two boys will be unlucky.
Although he had all kinds of concerns in his heart, after seeing the group of young men behind Dashan, Zhou Zhou Ming still had to agree to his request, because if he refused, once Dashan turned his face and united with the brothers behind him to make trouble, things would not be easy to handle.
Shopkeeper Lu sat on the chair, and after seeing Dashan's request, Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, he knew in his heart that this young junior must have difficulties, otherwise he would have agreed to Dashan's request a long time ago.
Seeing this situation, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but worry, for fear that Zhou Zhou Ming would be hot-headed for a moment and refuse Dashan's request, in that case, things would likely change again.
Just when Shopkeeper Lu was nervous, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly spoke.
"Brother, you can say this, you and I have experienced so many things together today, and we can be regarded as good brothers who share life and death, not to mention that I have time to listen to you tell about my experience, even if I don't have time, I will put other things aside and take time to accompany you."
Originally, seeing Zhou Zhou Ming hesitate before answering the question, Dashan and the group of brothers behind him were a little unhappy in their hearts, thinking that he was not giving himself face.
Just when the dissatisfaction in their hearts was getting higher and higher, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly said such a thing very frankly, which made Dashan and his brothers warm in their hearts, and the dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming disappeared in an instant.
Dashan grabbed Zhou Ming's arm excitedly, and was a little speechless for a while, and after he eased up, he said with red circles in his eyes: "Zhuangshi, I know that you are embarrassed, in this situation, give me this face, I Dashan will be grateful to you for a lifetime." ”
