Chapter 66: A Young Man Doesn't Know His Sorrow (8)
Mu Xun grew up in Kunming City since he was a child, although he had little contact with the outside world, but the name of Old Man Mu had also been heard, and the reason why he would readily agree to Kan Si's appointment was just the reason for the rise of arrogance for a while.
But after thinking about it for a while, I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, if I went to the appointment, it would be difficult to avoid falling into the situation of being besieged by the public and being at a disadvantage; if I didn't go, I would inevitably break my word and get fat, and it would seem that I was timid and cautious. But after some thought, I couldn't make a decision.
At this time, a rush of footsteps was heard, and everyone looked sideways, only to see that it was Shopkeeper Li who was coming over angrily.
Xu Che caused trouble for Shopkeeper Li, and his heart was full of guilt, so he hurriedly greeted the general and whispered: "Shopkeeper Li, I'm really sorry for causing trouble for you." ”
Shopkeeper Li had already found out the reason for the incident from the Mu family's servants, and he was already angry in his heart, and at this time, when he saw Xu Che coming forward, he raised his hand and gave Xu Che a slap.
This slap was merciless, and it was powerful, Xu Che was beaten dizzy, his feet were vague, and he immediately staggered and sat on the ground, the left half of his face was also swollen, and five bright red fingerprints appeared instantly.
Seeing this, Mu Xun turned his head and shouted at Shopkeeper Li and asked, "What are you doing here, why do you want to beat him?"
While the two were talking, Chen Hao and Meng Yue on the side hurriedly ran over to help Xu Che stand up.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Xu Che's swollen right face, and consciously behaved a little too much, and most of the resentment in his chest disappeared, but now he was yelled at by Mu Xun, and a nameless anger rekindled, and he also scolded Mu Xun: "Do you dare to ask me? Do you know how many people you will harm this big fight?"
Mu Xun was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can I hurt people?"
Shopkeeper Li sneered: "Hmph, you are a hero who wants to act chivalrous when he encounters injustice, and he is not majestic when he is happy and vengeful!" But have you ever thought about it, you rely on your martial arts to be strong, and Mu Gongzi will probably have nothing to do with you, but if Mu Gongzi sits and finds trouble with other people, what should you do when the time comes? Can you protect them for a lifetime?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Xu Che and Chen Hao, and said: "Today's matter, as long as the two of them have suffered some flesh and skin, they will be considered to have broken the root of the bane, and there will be no more trouble in the future." But if you make a move, they won't be able to stay in this Kunming City, and even I, the 'Bafang Cloud Tower', won't be able to escape the trouble!"
Mu Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart was in turmoil, could he really do something wrong?
He looked around at everyone, looking everywhere, except for Shopkeeper Li, the rest of the people all bowed their heads and avoided him, not daring to look at him.
"Are all the things that my father taught me wrong?, should I bear to give in when I encounter a strong hegemon?" Mu Xun couldn't help but bow his head and muttered to himself.
Shopkeeper Li took a deep breath and sighed: "Alas, not everyone has the ability to confront the hegemon head-on. Among all living beings in this world, the vast majority of people just want to live in peace, even if they have suffered some grievances and disasters, most of them only want to be peaceful and peaceful..."
Mu Xun's heart was shocked, what Shopkeeper Li said at the moment was a shocking concept that he had never heard of, which was very different from the concept of righteousness and righteousness that he had received since he was a child. For a moment, he froze.
Shopkeeper Li saw that Mu Xun was stunned, and he didn't care about him, so he turned to Xu Che and said, "What's the matter with that starling? Why did he fly up to the second floor, and how did he enter Mu Gongzi's private room?"
Xu Che's expression twisted, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said loudly: "I saw that his eyes were not pure when he looked at Meng Yue, and I was afraid that he would have bad intentions, so I came up with such a stupid trick, the purpose was just to take the opportunity to get Meng Yue to leave his private room..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Yue's face suddenly flushed, and the hand holding Xu Che hurriedly retracted, and his head hung deeply.
Shopkeeper Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he said astringently: "Okay, you Xu Che, I didn't expect you to be a pervert..."
Chen Hao hurriedly explained: "It's not Brother Xu's fault, it's the person named Kan Si who pinched the starling to death first, and I rushed into the house to grab the bird after I saw it." If I had not gone in, I would not have given birth to the many things that followed..."
Shopkeeper Li said: "Bah! You are righteous, but what's the use of righteousness? Let me ask you, if Mu Gongzi comes to seek revenge, what should we do?"
Xu Che felt even more ashamed, and said astringently: "All the mistakes are mine, I shouldn't be." I packed up my things and left the restaurant today, if Mu Gongzi comes to take revenge in the future, you will tell him that I have been dismissed by you, so as not to let him find your bad luck. After speaking, he glanced at Chen Hao beside him, and said: "Chen Hao will also go with me, our brothers have caused you trouble, I am really sorry for you." ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at Xu Che with resentment, his heart was angry and pitiful, and after sighing heavily, he said slowly: "You have helped me for so many years, and I greatly appreciate your character, but this kind of thing happened today, and I don't dare to keep you anymore." In this way, I have a brother who worships the boss in Lin'an Mansion in the south, and he also makes a living in a restaurant, he is a very reliable person, if you want, I can repair a letter to him, and you can take Chen Hao to him to avoid the limelight. After speaking, he looked at Meng Yue and the old man, and said: "Although today's incident was not provoked by the two of you, but tracing back to the source, the cause is related to this girl, and the small shop can no longer provide a place for the two to perform, and please ask the two to find another treasure to make a fortune." ”
Meng Yue's face turned red, her heart was full of apologies, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Shopkeeper Li again, and the old man apologized to Shopkeeper Li again and again: "I'm really sorry for disturbing the purity of your store, and I hope that the shopkeeper will forgive me a lot..."
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand, signaling that the old man didn't need to say the rest of his words.
At this time, I suddenly heard Mu Xun say loudly: "Your shopkeeper is too timid and afraid, you said before that I can't take care of the two of them, but I want to take care of it." He turned to Xu Che and said: "My family runs a tea shop in the west of the city, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can go to my tea shop to work, how much salary you pay here, I will double it for the two." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was taken aback, and the shopkeeper Li was even more suspicious in his heart: "It turns out that this person is from the city, but I don't know what signboard his tea shop is called?"
However, in the face of such lucrative conditions, Xu Che showed hesitation, and muttered: "But... But I've never been a tea maker. ”
Chen Hao, who was on the side, was extremely moved by this invitation, and hurriedly persuaded Xu Che: "Brother Che, we have a good strength, even if we do hard work! Besides, I don't want to go to the south, and my mother will definitely not let me go." ”
Xu Che glanced at Chen Hao, his brows immediately furrowed, he suddenly thought that there was still a paralyzed father in bed at home, if he went to the south, he would inevitably move the family south, but the road was far away, and his father, who had been sick and weak for a long time, could he bear the hardships on the road? Even if he could successfully reach Lin'an in the end, how should he integrate into the new environment and relationship?
As soon as these questions arose, more worries kept popping up like boiling water bubbles, and the most touching thing in his heart was that he would be a hundred miles away from Meng Yue, which he could never accept.
