Chapter 1: The Long Road (1)
An abandoned factory in the southern suburbs of Beijing, a meeting point for the experienced personnel of the five major families.
"With this outfit, you are about to embark on a road of no return, I appreciate your courage, but I also want you to do what you can. "Everyone has a casual suit, a mobile phone and a bank card in front of them, and that's all the things you need from the beginning to the end of the experience.
Dongfang Yan's words were like a hammer hammer in everyone's hearts, the sound of discussion gradually became louder, and many people's eyes flashed with hesitation, Chen Feng took off his clothes, and then changed into casual clothes in front of him, Kuroko and Mengzi followed Chen Feng's movements without the slightest hesitation.
Some people take the lead, others follow suit, and everyone in the world is like this, and no one is exempt from vulgarity. blindly following the so-called trends of everyone is just to satisfy their pathetic vanity, prove that they are right, and prove that they once existed.
"It's your choice, it's your journey, and it's going to be something you'll be proud of for the rest of your life! ”
When all the people had changed their clothes, their cars arrived outside the factory on time. Two ordinary hard-seat coaches can barely shoehorn everyone in, and the overloading is obvious. Looking at the crowded carriage, Chen Feng has some ominous premonitions, I am afraid that this road is not easy to walk!
The vehicle did not get on the highway, but drove directly from the national highway to Sishan Province, and as soon as it drove out of the capital, the young masters and young ladies were restless. The crowded carriage was filled with the body odor of men, which made the rich ladies frown, and the hard seats of the bus also made the young masters who were usually used to sitting in luxury cars complain.
Many people poured their anger on the bodyguards standing in front of them:
"Get out of the way, don't be next to Lao Tzu!" the bodyguard could only take two steps back, but it made it more crowded behind him.
Originally, the bodyguards were all standing, and there was a conflict between the pushes and shoves. The crowded, stuffy seats, discomfort in the car, and the emotions in the heart, a little friction caused a violent conflict.
The car was driving on the road, and suddenly there was a sudden brake, and the handrail on the crossbeam of the car could not withstand the vigorous collapse, and the bodyguard was vigorously thrown and pounced on a man from Ximen Ren's family.
The bodyguard of the Ren family next to him hurriedly came over and dragged this person up, and before he could speak, Young Master Ren jumped up and scolded: "You, what do you mean!"
Although he is not from the Ren family, the bodyguard is always a bodyguard, so he can only hurriedly apologize: "I'm sorry Young Master Ren, I didn't mean to." ”
Wouldn't it be a pity to finally catch a gas bucket and apologize and let it go?
Standing up with two feet, kicking and scolding: "Which dog, dare to pounce on Lao Tzu, blind your dog's eyes!"
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention that some people don't treat bodyguards as slaves, but as brothers, like Chen Feng, or the Ouyang family in the military world.
"That's enough!" Ouyang Gaofei patted the chair on the seat next to him and stood up, originally thinking that it would be over just an apology, but it was not like the Ren family who actually used their own people as gas buckets: "My people, it's not your turn to teach a lesson." ”
"Yo! it turned out to be the Ouyang family's dog, then forget it!" It seems that he is angry enough, and the Ouyang family's protection is famous, and the Ren family is only a subsidiary family of Ximen, so he doesn't dare to go too far: "Young Master Ouyang, take your dog back, remember to lock it up, don't let it out and bite people." ”
The hot-tempered Ouyang Gaofei really couldn't stand such cynicism: "Really, then do I want the people of the Ximen family to take you back and lock you up, so as not to dirty Lao Tzu's eyes!"
"Ouyang Gaofei, don't go too far!"
"So what?"
As soon as the war broke out, the people of the two families in the car immediately divided into two factions to confront each other, but it was obvious that the Ouyang family was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. When the car was divided, it was one by Huangfu Ximen and one by Dongfang Zhuge , and the Ouyang family was divided into two parts, and this car was Huangfu and Ximen, so the Ren family naturally had an advantage in numbers.
"Goofy, give me face, forget it. Chen Feng, who had been sitting next to him, spoke, but he dissuaded Ouyang Gaofei, in Chen Feng's eyes, the children of the Ren family really have no status, but it is the Ouyang family in the military world with an upright temperament, which makes Chen Feng pay more attention.
"Which family are you dog, do you have a part to speak here?" Obviously, this young master of the Ren family is not qualified to participate in the exchange meeting of the five clans, otherwise he would not dare to say such a thing to Chen Feng: "Get out of the way, otherwise I will beat you together!" At this time, the young master of the Ren family did not find that the number of people around him was slowly decreasing, and most of the men and women of the family in the car looked at him with a sympathetic gaze.
With a flash of light and shadow, the young master of the Ren family was smashed back to his seat, and Chen Feng, who was originally in the seat, was standing in front of the Ximen camp, and gently patted the non-existent dust on his shoes: "You are the first person who dares to say that my Huangfu's family is a dog, I don't want your life if I give Ximen face." Remember, there will be no next time. ”
Young Master Ren didn't hear it, he had already kicked it out with a strong kick just now, these words were not so much for Young Master Ren as they were for the sake of Liwei and for the people in the car.
Chen Feng sat back in his seat in the eyes of everyone looking at monsters, and Xiao Gangyan beside him was also rare for a while, and the turmoil was calmed down by a kick, but is this the end of the matter?
After an afternoon of bumps, everyone arrived at the delicate county seat of Beijing-Tianjin municipality, I have to say that staying in the busy high-rise buildings all day, the first time to this small county town with beautiful mountains and rivers, even the air is different, and the natural wind is much more comfortable than the air-conditioning wind.
Everyone got out of the car and gathered together, and the mission of the two exclusive cars was completed, and a puff of black smoke came out of the tailpipe, and then rumbled away.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Kuroko is also confused, although he is a bodyguard, he usually doesn't need to worry about anything other than training, as long as he trains well and can protect the people who need to be protected, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged by someone.
"Of course it's dinner, the little steel cannon comes with me!" Chen Feng greeted Xiao Gang and walked towards the county seat, it was evening, the sunset on the horizon was as red as blood, and everyone enjoyed the rare freedom in the same place, but they didn't notice the departure of Chen Feng and a few people.
When you arrive in a strange place, the first thing you have to do is to solve the problem of food and accommodation, and you don't have the social experience of independent survival. Although Chen Feng, who grew up starving and cold, has also eaten for a while, the essence of his cultivation over the past ten years will not change.
After walking along the only one in the county, Chen Feng and the others did not find a restaurant or a place to eat, and some of the breakfast makers were also sold at their own doors, and did not provide Chinese food and dinner.
"Kuroko, go get some cash and come out, we'll be waiting for you at the end of the road. "There is a bank in the area where I just walked by, and the ATM machine at the door may be the key to life in the next few days. When he went out, all the items on his body were taken back, except for the things that were distributed, everyone didn't even have a dime on them, and Chen Feng hurriedly asked Kuroko to take out some cash first.
On the other side of the county, Chen Feng still didn't find a place for people to eat, and at this time, the people who went on an outing were finally tired of the unchanged scenery around them, and the sequelae of the long journey were hunger and sleepiness.
"Young master, there's only so much, I can't take it out. Kuroko trotted to Chenfeng's side and handed Chenfeng the dozens of bills in his hand. People in the county usually save more money than withdraw money, unless the school starts or there is something important, usually put cash in the ATM once, it is estimated that you don't have to worry about it for a month.
Kuroko only took out 1,000 eight cash at a time, although it was a little less, but it was enough. Chen Feng took the money and counted it, and then divided two hundred yuan per person: "Put these on your body, don't use them indiscriminately!"
Not to mention Xiao Gangyan, even the sunspots have no concept of money, and they usually don't look at it at all with just two banknotes, and they listen to Chen Feng's words.
"Chenfeng, then what should we do next?" Xiao Gang saw that he couldn't find a place to eat, seeing that it was already dark, and the shops on the road were closed one after another, and he didn't even have a place to sleep at night, he didn't want to sleep on the streets, and Chen Feng suddenly became the backbone of this small team.
"Wait, I'll ask. Chen Feng said and walked into a small store next to him, there are not many things in the store, except for some cigarettes and water, that is, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, candles, paper money, I bought a pack of cigarettes at random, a few candies, Chen Feng asked the boss: "Uncle, where is the car to the city?"
Chen Feng called affectionately, and the simple shopkeeper also replied enthusiastically: "Where is the car, if you stop by to see if you can find a motorcycle, or there will only be a farm car that is bought and sold on the market." ”
"And where is the nearest village?"
"Oh, go out, follow the trail to the right, and it will be Chen Village in half an hour!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Chen Feng left the small shop and walked straight to Chen Village with a few people to the shopkeeper.
The large army is worrying about food and accommodation, and the bodyguards who usually work are helpless, and the ATM machine that was finally found has no cash, and for a while, everyone can only stare at each other.
Chen Village is a small village, and dozens of adobe houses remind Chen Feng of the place where he was born, and a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously.
Letting everyone stay where they were and wait, Chen Feng casually walked to a room and knocked on the door.
"Who?" said a female voice in the room, sounding like she was a little older.
After a while, they were opened, and a middle-aged woman was holding her hair, and when she looked up, she saw a strange young man, and she was startled and quickly closed the door.
Chen Feng smiled, knocked on the door again helplessly, and said, "Auntie, I am lost in travel, I want to ask you something!"
The door slowly opened a crack, as if she didn't notice anything unusual, and the middle-aged woman asked boldly, "What's the matter?"
"Auntie, I came on a trip with my friends, I got lost, and now I'm hungry and I don't have a place to stay at night. Before Chen Feng finished speaking, the middle-aged woman hurriedly interjected and said, "Our family is not big enough to sleep with these people." ”
"I just want to ask the village chief where his house is, I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm looking for something to eat. ”
The simplicity of the rural people made the middle-aged woman a little unbearable, and suddenly opened the door a little: "There is no food, you will wait in the courtyard, can you make a bowl of noodles?"
"Thank you, auntie!" Chen Feng hurriedly thanked him, and then beckoned to Xiao Gang.
After a while, the middle-aged woman dressed and walked out, and she was really startled when she saw the fierce son.
"Don't be afraid, auntie, this big guy is honest. ”
The woman walked towards the stove room, and a simple child rushed out of the door, and the woman hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Huzi, go back." ”
"Your name is Huzi, isn't it?" Tatsukaze took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the child.
The child is about 4 years old, with a fat face, a pigtail tied on his head, and ordinary peasant clothes.
"Quick, thank you, brother" The woman boiled water in the pot, and saw the scene of Chen Feng giving candy to Huzi, and her guard was lowered a lot. What is important to a woman is nothing more than a husband and children, so that a family can be complete. Chenfeng treats her child well, and he can gain her trust.
"Thank you, brother!"
The simple tiger is very likable, the woman in the stove room time Huzi always pesters the tall fierce man to play "di, di, as he is thrown high and then falls, the tiger will always laugh out loud.
"Huzi, don't pester your brother, let my brother eat. The woman took out a wooden table from the stove and walked with difficulty towards the courtyard.
"Kuroko went to help. Kuroko hurriedly went over and took the wooden table and moved it easily.
Bowls of hot noodles were placed on the table, and the woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "There are not many people at home, and there are not so many stools, so let's eat them." ”
"It's hard work, auntie, it's okay, we'll eat standing up. Chen Feng picked up the bowl of noodles and ate it in a big gulp, but he was surprised that the man in the family had not come back at such a late hour: "Auntie, where is the uncle?"
Listening to Chen Feng's question, the woman's face changed and said, "His father died in the mine when Huzi was half a year old, and the corpse was not recovered. ”
The experience of the "aunt me" woman is very similar to Mu Ziqin, but there are countless people in the world who have encountered such things.
"Don't talk about it, let's eat, eat more and get hungry. There's still in the pot, not enough for me to cook some corn. From the woman's words, Chen Feng heard that the remaining noodles in the family had been eaten by several people, and the white noodles of the peasant family were already a good meal, perhaps for Huzi to eat, or maybe they could only be eaten during the festival.
The large army is still wandering in the county, it's not that they haven't gone to find it, as long as they open the door and see a hundred or so strangers, anyone will be frightened, not to mention that these rich young masters are not good at words, and they don't know how to ask for people and how to communicate with people on an equal footing.
The noodles in the stove pot are eaten cleanly, although there are not too many seasonings and side dishes, just a bowl of boiled noodles, but this is the most fragrant meal that Chen Fengjin has eaten in half a year.
"Auntie, where is the village chief's house? We want to go over and find a place to sleep for the night. Chen Feng asked Kuroko and a few people to help clean up, but Mengzi was still pestered by Huzi and played.
"My aunt's family is too small, so I won't leave you, the village chief's house is not far in front, and there is a cowshed in the yard. ”
He took out the remaining eight hundred yuan from his pocket, then took two hundred and put it back in his pocket, and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "Auntie, you take this." At that time, there was money for food. ”
"I can't help it, don't treat my aunt as an outsider. Take it back, a few bowls of noodles where to get the money. The woman's monthly work could not get the money back, but she did not accept it, but pushed it back with an angry face.
Chen Feng put the money in the pocket of the woman's blouse, and then said, "Auntie, not for anything else, just for the tiger." There's not much you can do to help, but don't say no. ”
"No, no, son, I got my heart, but if you call me an aunt, you will take the money back. The aunt can support herself, and she can also feed the tiger. The stubborn and simple woman resolutely stuffed the money back.
Looking at the simple tiger and the simple woman, Chen Feng has a sense of intimacy, maybe it is sympathy. "I didn't have a father when I was a child, and my mother died of overwork when I was a child, and now I have some money, but I can't find someone to serve. ”
"It's also a hard-working child!"
"Even if it's for Huzi, you can take it! I don't have much on me, this is also my fate with Huzi. Maybe it was because of Xiaohuzi, or maybe she couldn't stand Chenfeng's firmness, so the woman took the money and held it tightly in her hand.
"Auntie, let's go find a place to settle down first, and come to see you tomorrow. ”
Saying goodbye to the woman, Chen Feng led a few people towards the village chief's house pointed by the woman.
At this time, on the street of the county seat, both sides of the road were full of young people, undoubtedly not holding their stomachs or simply lying on the ground. It's just that these rich young masters and ladies have ever thought that one day they will live on the streets.
In the courtyard of the village chief's house, everyone scattered and stood in the courtyard, Chen Feng stood in front of the door and tried to explain to the village chief inside the door, but the village chief still refused to open the door.
A flashlight shone from behind, and the woman walked towards the village chief's house with Huzi in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Chen Feng was a little surprised, as if the woman had anticipated their predicament and came over to relieve the siege.
The woman went to the door and knocked on the door, and shouted to the village chief inside, "Uncle, it's me!" ”
The door was opened, and the village chief looked out, and when he saw the woman, he opened the door and asked, "Huzi Niang, why are you here?"
The woman took Chenfeng's arm and said, "Uncle, this is a distant nephew and a few of his friends, so I brought it here if there is no place to sleep at home." ”
"Quick, come in. Speaking in the house, "The village chief was convinced of the woman's words, opened the door, and beckoned a few people to enter.
Chen Feng looked at Mengzi and said to the village chief: "Grandpa, no need, let's just sleep outside, do you think there is anything that can be used?"
"There are a few bamboo beds in the backyard, which were made two days ago, and I plan to sell them in the market in a few days, so let's see if it's suitable first. Chen Feng told everyone to wait, and followed the village chief into the house and walked towards the backyard.
The small backyard is surrounded by adobe bricks, and the ground on the left side is full of bamboo and bamboo strips, and on the other side are a few bamboo baskets and five stacked bamboo beds. Chen Feng walked over and pressed the bamboo bed, the toughness is very good, and the fierce son should be able to sleep.
"It's sturdy, and you can sleep when you wipe it clean!"
"Okay, thank you grandpa. Chen Feng called out to Heizi and Xiao Gang, left Mengzi in the outer courtyard, and began to lift the bamboo bed.
The woman helped to wipe the bamboo bed clean, and Chen Feng thanked Kuroko for sending the mother and son back: "Thank you, auntie, for your hard work." Kuroko, you send your aunt home. ”
As soon as the woman had left, the village chief came out of the house, holding several cylindrical objects in her hands, and lit them with matches, and a thick smoke and a bad smell came out.
"This is our own cooking, and if you smoke it, there will be no mosquitoes, which is quite easy to use. "It turned out that the village chief was afraid that there would be too many mosquitoes at night, so he took out some plants from his own house to make mosquito repellent smoke, and helped everyone smoke them under the bamboo bed. Although it doesn't smell good, the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects is really good.
"Thank you, village chief!" the simple village chief finished this and went back to the house to sleep.
There are a total of five bamboo beds, Xiao Gangyan took the initiative to let his two bodyguards sleep one, and the rest of them each slept one.
Late at night, everyone snored slightly, and Chen Feng lay on the bamboo bed looking at the shining stars in the night sky, and his heart was extremely calm.
———————————————————
Yesterday at noon, I talked to my colleagues about housing prices, and I also said: Housing prices are so expensive now, if I have a piece of land, it is really developed!
He said, "If you have a piece of land, I will immediately recognize you as a godfather!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the little girl at the front desk called me: XXX~ You have a courier!
Then my godson didn't want to talk to me all afternoon.
