Chapter 395: Rhetoric
"If you have something to say quickly, if you have a fart, Lao Tzu's time is precious, and there is no extra effort to waste on you." The representative waved his hand impatiently, not interested in listening to the strong man's rhetoric at all, he just wanted to quickly find out what he had to say about him, "And there is one more thing I want to warn you, if I think you are playing tricks on me after listening to your words later, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless and turning their faces and not recognizing people!" ”
Seeing that the representative was really angry, the strong man's mood couldn't help but get nervous, he really didn't know whether the confusion in his heart was an important thing in the deputy's opinion.
After hesitating for a moment, he still relied on his courage and said with his lips: "Deputy, then I won't beat around the bush, here's the thing, you just sent a few of us to come over, surround the person in charge, and take care of him, and we have no complaints in our hearts, because even if you don't tell us, we will do it."
But when I carried out the task according to your instructions, there was always one thing in my heart that I did not understand, that is, the other three people except me, their duties and intentions can be seen at a glance, but this work in my hand, not only did the other brothers not understand the meaning of doing this, but even I have been confused in my heart, and I do not understand why you sent me to do this.
It is precisely because of this confusion in my heart that I have the courage to call you over to clarify this matter.
I also know that you are very busy now, and I really shouldn't bother you for these little things, but I am really afraid in my heart, if I don't figure this matter out, I can't afford this responsibility if something goes wrong on my side when the other brothers are on a mission later. ”
At the beginning, the representative was very disgusted by what the strong man said, and even wanted to urge him to finish it quickly, so as not to delay the important work at hand, but after hearing the back, he suddenly widened his eyes and showed a look of surprise.
The reason why he was so surprised was not that he saw any terrible picture, but because he suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten a major event in his pride, and if it hadn't been for the strong man in front of him to remind him, it was likely that the method he came up with would have failed.
The reason for this is very simple, just now, at the last moment, the representative led the brothers and successfully caught the exhausted person in charge, and did not let him fall to the ground and make a sound, which can be said to be in a sense, to avoid the early failure of the plan of the leading brother.
At that time, seeing that the person in charge was unconscious, the representative immediately thought of using the method of scratching the soles of his feet to wake him up, but there was also a certain risk in doing so, in case under the stimulation of the soles of his feet, the person in charge couldn't help but make a sound, which would have an impact on the plan of the leading brother, in order to use this method, to be foolproof, the representative sent someone to take care of the person in charge at the same time, sent the strong man in front of him, came to the person in charge, and blocked his mouth with his hand.
The reason why the representative made this arrangement was to prevent the person in charge from making a sound when he could not stand the stimulation, and if he made a sound, the strong man could immediately cover his mouth and strangle the danger in the cradle in advance.
After arranging all this, the representative forgot an important thing, that is, to explain to the strong man in front of him what the meaning of this task he was shouldering, and such a mistake is unforgivable, because once it is wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The strong man thought that after he finished speaking, the representative would be furious with him, accusing himself of calling him over for such a trivial matter, and that he was completely making trouble.
Just as he was ready to be punished, he unexpectedly found that as soon as he finished speaking, the anger on the representative's face disappeared and was replaced by a frightened expression.
This frightened the strong man, thinking that even if what I said just now was outrageous, the representative didn't have to show such an exaggerated expression? Did he want to tell himself in this way that he had made a big mistake and would definitely die?
Such a thought appeared in his heart, and the strong man's heart was immediately filled with fear, he frowned, lowered his head, reflected on his behavior just now, and then raised his eyes to look at the representative, pretending to be pitiful, and begged for mercy with his lips: "Good brother, if what I said just now offended you, I apologize to you, you have a lot, don't be like me."
As long as you can let me go today, I will definitely obey you in the future......"
The strong man wanted to say something nice again, but the representative didn't give him the opportunity.
The representative stretched out a hand, put it on his shoulder, and then said with a grateful face: "Brother, thank you so much, you actually gave me such an important reminder at such a critical moment, it really helped me a lot." ”
The strong man was confused, and he stared at the representative stupidly, wondering if I was mistaken, or was he crazy? Why did he say something completely different from what I expected?
"Representative, don't scare me, if there is any punishment, just greet me, don't say these strange things to me." Frightened, the strong man wanted to take away his hands, kneel on the ground, and beg the representative for mercy.
The representative immediately stopped him from doing so, and with a stern look, he said to him very seriously: "Don't move, brother, I am grateful that you are a private matter between us, but if you do something stupid at this time and ruin my plans, I will be angry as well." ”
The strong man immediately stopped moving, not daring to move again.
The representative knew that the strong man was even more confused at this time, but before giving a detailed explanation, he still turned around first, rushed at the group of strong men behind him, and made a gesture, telling them to suspend their actions, let them stay put, and don't act rashly.
After making all these arrangements, he slowly turned around, and then used gestures and lips to explain to the strong man why he had sent him here for such a strange mission.
"Good brother, the reason why you have the confusion just now is actually because of my fault. I just sent you here to block the mouth of the person in charge with both hands, originally to add a insurance, the purpose is to prevent the other brothers from scratching the soles of the feet of the person in charge, in case the person in charge can't stand the stimulation and screams, you can cover his mouth at any time and stifle the danger in advance.
But after I got busy just now, I forgot about this stubble, so that if I hadn't been reminded by you, maybe the other brothers would have started to scratch the soles of their feet, and you haven't figured out what your responsibilities are.
If that happens, I'm unforgivable. ”
After saying this, the representative bowed deeply to the strong man in front of him, in order to thank him for taking the risk at the critical moment and reminding himself of the great grace of correcting his mistakes.
After listening to the deputy's explanation, the strong man suddenly realized that he had sent himself here for such a purpose, but fortunately he asked in advance, otherwise, if the person in charge of the meeting made a voice and did not cover his mouth for the first time, then he would not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River.
Because if the plan can be implemented smoothly, all the difficulties encountered are not a problem, but if the action fails, then even if you do your own thing well, you will not get any reward, but will be scolded by your boss.
The strong man who breathed a sigh of relief hurriedly made a polite gesture to the representative, so that he didn't have to take this matter to heart.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as the method I came up with can achieve the expected results, I will take the lead in coming back afterwards, and when I want to reward my merits, I will definitely not forget your share." The representative said with a sincere face.
Hearing this, the strong man was overjoyed, because he knew in his heart that as long as the representative presented his name in front of the leading eldest brother, in a good mood, the eldest brother would definitely give him some rewards.
Thinking of this, the strong man immediately thanked the representative for his kindness, hoping that he would never forget his promise to himself.
After repeatedly confirming that the strong man understood what he meant, the representative slowly left to lead everyone to continue to complete the next task.
Looking at the back of the representative gradually leaving, the strong man thought to himself, fortunately he stood up bravely just now and explained the confusion in his heart to the representative, otherwise, not only may he die without a place to bury later, but even if he dies, he may not know what reason he lost his life.
After the representative returned to his original position, he communicated with the others again to confirm that everyone still remembered the content of the task, and then he looked at the strong man who was about to pick his feet with a serious face.
When everything was ready, the representative suddenly stretched out a hand and fell down suddenly, meaning to tell the strong man to let him start his action immediately.
Although the strong men in the private room, after listening to the representative's explanation just now, were very confident in his method, when they saw that their companions were about to scratch the soles of the feet of the person in charge, they were still extremely nervous, for fear that something unexpected would happen in the process.
The strong man in charge of picking his feet, after receiving the order, immediately widened his eyes, stretched out his hands, opened the bow left and right, and slowly scratched the two feet of the person in charge with his middle finger and index finger.
The person in charge who had been keeping his eyes closed and refused to observe the outside situation, after a period of self-psychological adjustment, gradually controlled the fear in his heart, and even for a moment, he planned to open his eyes and look out to see if he was in heaven or hell.
But this intention only existed in his mind for a moment, because then the rich imagination and sharp leaping thinking scared him away, so under the pressure, he immediately dispelled that thought.
Just when he felt confused about his future, counting the mistakes he had made in his life, and trying to deduce which layer of hell he would fall to, a strange itching sensation suddenly came from the soles of his feet.
The person in charge was startled at first, and thought to himself, he was cautious for a long time just now, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes, but such a negative attitude did not bring good luck to himself.
Just as he was frightened and panicked, hesitating whether to kick and scream and resist, he suddenly realized that the hands that scratched the soles of his feet did not seem to have increased their strength, and the strength he used not only did not hurt himself, but made the soles of his feet feel very comfortable.
And in this process, the person in charge also made a major discovery, that is, when the hands under his feet are in contact with the soles of his feet, he can clearly feel through the sense of touch that the hands are not only soft, but even warm.
This discovery made the person in charge happy, he had heard the older generation say that the ghosts and bulls and horses in hell were not things in the yang world, so they were cold, and there was no trace of temperature all over their bodies.
Thinking of this, the fear in the person in charge was swept away, because he suddenly realized that he was definitely not in hell, otherwise the hands that scratched the soles of his feet must be cold, and he was also very sure that the owner of the hands under his feet must have no ill will towards him, otherwise he would not just scratch the soles of his feet, he would definitely have divided his five horses into pieces and disintegrated them.
With this thought in his heart, the person in charge was excited, and he originally planned to open his eyes as soon as possible to see who the person under his feet was.
But then after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this method was not very safe, after all, if he opened his eyes and saw that thing was still ugly, he might be scared to death on the spot.
Based on this concern, the person in charge gave up the idea of opening his eyes, and still chose to pretend to be unconscious, and did not respond to the behavior of the thing under his feet scratching the soles of his feet.
At the moment when the strong man in charge of scratching the soles of his feet made his move, all the strong men in the representative and private room stared intently at the person in charge, wanting to see how he would behave under the stimulation.
The strong man who blocked the person in charge with his hand was even more worried about the person in charge's every move, for fear that he would suddenly scream, and he would not be able to react, and he would not be able to stop his mouth in time, in that case, his sin would be great.
But to everyone's surprise, after being scratched for a long time, the person in charge not only did not react, but closed his eyes tighter.
When the strong men in the private room saw this, they immediately cast suspicious glances at the deputies, and their demeanor and eyes seemed to be questioning the deputies, can you do this method?
The representative who was full of confidence, after seeing the abnormal performance of the person in charge, his heart was also bottomless, and he noticed that everyone began to lose confidence in himself, and the representative became even more nervous, he knew that at this critical moment, he must not show weakness, even if the method he came up with was useless, he had to go all the way to the black, because once he was weak in momentum, the brothers next to him would definitely find him trouble.
The strong man who was responsible for scratching the soles of his feet, after a long time, did not have any effect, helplessly he raised his head, looked at the representative, and said with his eyes and lips: "Deputy, I have been scratching for a long time, and the person in charge has no reaction at all, is it not that you are not good at this method......
Before the strong man's lips finished speaking, the representative immediately raised a hand and motioned for him to close his mouth, and then he said firmly with his lips: "Don't talk nonsense, I am very confident in my own method, you don't stop, continue to scratch, if the person in charge has not reacted, you increase your strength until he has a reaction." ”
Everyone understood what the representative meant, and they were all nervous, they all felt that the representative was poor in donkey skills, but he was embarrassed to admit his failure, so he planned to make a desperate gamble and use his method to the end.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, thinking in their hearts that it meant that this was crazy, and if he continued to act like this, recklessly tossing the person in charge, it was likely that he would not save people, but would give them these people and invite greater disasters.
Although they were very worried about the deputy's mental state, at this moment, no one had the courage to stand up against him, and everyone could only watch helplessly as he continued to mess around.
After the strong man who picked at the soles of his feet understood the deputy's new order, his eyes immediately widened and he was surprised, and even for a moment, he felt that he must have misunderstood the deputy's lips, so for the sake of safety, he repeatedly asked the representative to verify the authenticity of the new order, and finally got a positive answer.
This made the strong man fall into a dilemma all of a sudden, because in the process of scratching the heart of his foot just now, he found that the person in charge did not react, which fully shows that the person in charge must have been seriously injured and lost consciousness, in this case, even if he scratched the sole of his foot, it would not play any role.
However, the deputies turned a blind eye to the situation in front of them, and insisted on forcing themselves to increase their efforts and continue to scratch the soles of the feet of the person in charge. In case he continues to scratch the soles of his feet, not only did not wake up the person in charge, but aggravated his injuries, so that he finally lost his life, if things really turn out like this, after the eldest brother comes back, he will investigate this matter, will the representative stand up for himself?
Definitely not, when the time comes, in the face of danger, he will definitely desperately shake the pot and put all the responsibility on himself.
Thinking of this, the strong man greeted all the eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, and even under impulse, he wanted to disobey his orders, leave this mess alone, and leave directly.
However, reason told him that he did this, and there was no good fruit to eat, after all, the eldest brother was not there at the moment, and the person in charge was unconscious, and now the representative could be said to cover the sky with one hand and held the power of life and death for everyone.
If he didn't give face in front of so many people, he would definitely not give up with himself.
