Chapter 1: Twilight of Heroes
Tang Wei got up early in the morning, and he felt a little drowsy after getting up in the morning after he had a cold last night. Seventy years old is no longer as tough as it was thirty or forty years ago. Maybe even the girl who was as wild and soft as a cat on the bed could feel his old state, so Tang Wei didn't see the girl after he got up.
Of course, the girl also knew that this generous old man was not very good-tempered, and she had heard the rumors of her predecessors before, but she had personally learned it last night.
After waking up early, the girl cursed a few times in a low voice, dressed, and escaped before dawn.
Tang Wei didn't have any intention of holding him accountable, and he couldn't even remember the girl's appearance now. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really unforgiving.
The curtain on the balcony was slightly rolled up, and Tang Wei's muscles tightened instantly with his back to the window. His left hand was still buttoning his shirt, and his right hand was already clenched into a fist.
"Elder, did you sleep well last night?"
A male voice came from the balcony.
Outside, it is a twenty-five-story building, and the viewing balcony is fully enclosed, and there is no place for the upper and lower sides to stand together.
Tang Wei heard this person's voice, but his original cold expression eased slightly, he continued to fasten the button, ignoring the owner of the voice.
"I think it was because the girl didn't like Elder Tang last night, so how about killing this person for the elder?"
The owner of the voice didn't see Tang Wei answer for a long time, and joked and mocked as if he didn't care about human life at all.
Tang Wei just didn't hear it, came to the cloakroom from the bedroom and chose a suit, tried it in front of the mirror, and then arrived at the door in two or three steps.
The elder walked slowly, and many colleagues in the building were still waiting for news from the elders in Bu Feng Tower. Please indicate when the elders will go, and it will be better to go back to their lives in the future. ”
The male voice had moved from the balcony to the kitchen, and the voice was coming in from outside the wall. There was no place to climb outside the wall, but the person who spoke was full of energy, as if he was walking on the ground. It's amazing.
Tang Wei stopped at the door and pressed his hand on the doorknob. His gray temples were faintly sweating, and the muscles in his grip on the handle were bulging to tear through the carefully selected suit that was of great value but obviously out of place with him.
He stiffened, frozen as if by magic.
He didn't dare to turn the handle, as if there were more than a dozen martial arts masters outside the door in ambush, and when he opened the door, they would attack him in groups.
There was silence all around, and Tang Wei waited for a long time without hearing any movement. The morning sun cast chaos through the heavy curtains, and the shadow invaded from behind him, finally anchoring his shadow on the door in front of him.
"You go back and tell Lord Feng that the old man is just a rotten fool. I have no intention of participating in anything in the building, and I ask Lord Feng to raise his noble hand and let the old man live. Just let the old man fend for himself. ”
The male voice was silent, and Tang Wei was also immovable. It seemed that the wind and waves were calm but murderous, Tang Wei's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling twice, and his eyes that were bloated and faint due to indulging in wine also sharpened at this time. He stared at the door with his eyes wide open, and the muscles in his arms were already sore from the high tension. But the more times like this, the more you can't relax, since the masters in the building have followed themselves here, they don't know how many powerful characters are hidden in the dark.
He also had to admit that he was old, and his thoughts and attitudes were rotten compared to the rising rookies in the building. After several competitions, Tang Wei already knew that there was no place for himself in the building. And these upstarts who were just in power obviously did not mean to let Tang Wei retire smoothly.
Now, I'm afraid it's the most critical time.
"I can't hide it, when the junior came, he was ordered to invite the elder back to the building. But the younger generation is out of the elder's door, and he will not dare to do anything reckless. Since the elder insists on leaving, remember not to trust others next time. ”
After these words, the atmosphere in the room, which had been extremely tense, suddenly relaxed, and even the solidified and scorched air returned to its original state. Tang Wei was really relieved, he was already sweating all over his body when he came back to his senses.
He had no intention of guessing when his whereabouts had been revealed. There are many people in the building, and it is really easy to find him.
Anyway, after today, I will go overseas, and I will never set foot in China again in my life.
Tang Wei's palms were densely covered with cold sweat all over his body, wet, sticky and sticky. These hands used to be intimidating to many people, but now they are shriveled and shriveled, just like him and become a waste.
Tang Wei opened the door, of course there would be no one outside the door. He turned and locked the door, and double-checked it before walking to the elevator.
The elevator stopped on the 17th floor, and an old man with a puppy on a lead came in. When the old man saw Tang Wei, he laughed and said, "Ah, Old Tang is so clever. Do you want to go for a walk?"
Tang Wei responded: "Yes, you plan to walk the dog early in the morning." ”
"When you're old, move your muscles and bones. ”
The two talked and laughed, and parted ways after leaving the community. During the morning rush hour, the road was jammed with dense traffic, and Tang Wei stood on the side of the road and waited for a long time before crossing the road from the intermittent traffic. After all, the years are unforgiving, and after standing for a long time, my legs trembled a little.
Fortunately, the destination is not far away, and there is an early shop on the street. The crowd of people going to work was huddled together, and Tang Wei walked straight over, squeezed into the crowd and sat down in a corner.
Without waiting for him to speak, the boss had already brought two steamed buns and a bowl of sticky eight-treasure porridge. He's become a regular guest.
Tang Wei picked up a bun, and the heat came to his face. He poked his head out and took a small bite, and the hot air that fell into his mouth with the meat filling and the foreskin spewed out. His cheeks bulged out all of a sudden, and his seven orifices opened widely, as if he was dozens of years younger all of a sudden!
This wave of heat rushed down his esophagus, making him straighten his waist all of a sudden!
That's what it's like to be alive!
The porridge was sprinkled with a layer of white sugar visible to the naked eye, Tang Wei stirred the sugar with a spoon, and then drank half a bowl in one go.
The warm porridge immediately neutralized the heat of the buns, and Tang Wei also regained his life after this baptism, and put down the bowl in his hand with satisfaction.
When he looked up, he found a man in his thirties looking at him with a smile on the opposite side.
The man had his hair parted and his hair was waxed. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and behind them are a pair of narrow eyes. Hanging his eyebrows upside down, at a glance, it should be very angry, but all his anger is framed by glasses, and he is even a little kind at a glance.
Down there was a stereotypical square face, and although he was now smiling, he himself apparently rarely smiled on weekdays, so the muscles on his face were very stiff.
The lips are thin, and when you smile, you can't close them at all, revealing the white teeth and scarlet gums inside. When he laughed, the skin of his mouth almost reached behind his ears, which was clearly a hungry beast.
The man wore a tie and a custom black suit over his white shirt. He rested both hands under the table, his waist straight, and his eyebrows could be seen with disdain for the surroundings.
It looks like a person from the top condescends to come down.
Tang Wei's ten fingers grasped the edge of the bowl slightly, and the bone joints tightened slightly. This small movement did not escape the eyes of the person opposite, the man raised his hand and pushed the frame, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, you can make it easy for me to find." ”
His fingers were white and tender, and such hands should not have appeared on a man like him at all. His voice was deliberately low, but he still couldn't change the coercion that came with giving orders.
"You've mistaken someone. My surname is Tang, not Xue!"
Most of the diners in the store had already left, and the man looked around, waved his hand to the shopkeeper and ordered: "Come to a cage of steamed buns, it should be ten percent pure lean meat." Steamed rotten points, then a bowl of tofu brain, and more coriander. ”
Tang Wei ate the buns by himself.
The man didn't show any embarrassment, and said: "Oh, I'm looking for Xue Yixiao, the owner of the Fenglou Mansion who used to have a phoenix to dance and dance, and who was honored as a meteor in the white night in his prime, Mr. Xue Da." Could it be that you are clumsy in the lower eye?"
Tang Wei's expression remained unchanged, he ate the buns leisurely, chewed slowly and drank a mouthful of porridge before saying, "Yes, you recognized the wrong person." My surname is Tang, not Xue. ”
The man's smirk slowly subsided, and his voice was slightly raised.
"Why does Mr. Xue refuse to go thousands of miles? Since I appeared opposite Mr., I must have been completely sure, I followed Mr. to overdue for seven days, although Mr. did not show the slightest flaw in these seven days, but..."
The man had to stop talking about this, and the boss held the bun in front of him. A hint of gloom flashed in the man's eyes, and a nameless fire surged in his heart. He forced himself to hold back his patience and waited for the boss to clean up everything before continuing.
"But I found out that in the past three days, there has been another group of people who are investigating the whereabouts of Mr.! And those people are from Fenglaiyi, and they are all extraordinary..."
Tang Wei remained indifferent.
The boss brought the tofu brain to the man again, and the man was interrupted again and was on the verge of exploding. The corners of his eyes were raised, and he was about to stand up and be furious, but the next second he seemed to have some scruples and held back, and just said loudly.
"Okay boss, go up and stay!Don't bother us talking about business!"
"It's five people and six people in the clothes, talk about business to my little broken stall, what kind of big-tailed wolf..."
The man lifted his temple, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched.
Tang Wei calmed down at this time, and he had already finished eating a basket of steamed buns. was eating the second cage, and the glutinous and soft buns were bitten down, and the meat filling was spread out all over, and the fragrance was permeating at once.
When the taste buds are stimulated, the saliva distribution makes the appetite of the index finger arouse.
"Mr. Xue, let's get straight to the point! The clothes on your body are the same as mine, and they shouldn't appear in this kind of pickled place! I think my origin must be clear to Mr. I, and I was also ordered to invite Mr. to go to the north. Mr. is elegant and elegant, I don't dare to act recklessly for fear of slacking off Mr., so I implore Mr. to be conscious. ”
Tang Wei was unmoved and ate the last bun, drank the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and then said lightly.
"I said it, my surname is Tang, not Xue!
The man's anger couldn't be suppressed at all, he jumped up violently, slapped his palm on the table, and the shocking empty steamer bounced up a few feet high, his eyebrows were upside down, and he said sharply.
"The surname is Xue! Don't be embarrassed! If you know each other, come with me honestly, and I will never embarrass you! I saw that you were old and didn't want to be rough with you, so you don't want to rely on the old and sell the old! If you really make a move, don't blame me if you hurt and damage your reputation for the rest of your life! Hmph, don't say that I have been with you for seven days, even if you are really surnamed Tang, you must come with me today! Otherwise, hum!"
He didn't say anything, but everyone could see the threat! He was indeed very proud in his heart, and this kind of line he learned from the movie was really much more enjoyable to use than when he watched the movie.
Tang Wei seemed to be frightened by the man's fierce aura, and was stunned there for a long time without words.
The man said.
"The surname Xue, follow me honestly! I won't embarrass you!"
Tang Wei looked at him with his eyes, his cloudy and dry pupils slowly moistened. After washing the dirt from his eyes, the man who looked at him found that the old man in front of him did not see any timidity in his eyes, but only a deep ridicule that came out of his bones.
