Chapter Ninety-Three: Elder
As soon as he went out, a petite figure rushed over, Ye Wen was not surprised, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and hugged the other party, stood firmly, gently wrapped his head, looked down, and saw a small head rising up.
"Brother Ye, if you go to sleep again, you're really going to become a lazy worm, this won't work. Xiao Qian raised her head, frowned, and pouted and complained.
"Yes, Lord Xiaoqian. Seeing the little girl's coquettish appearance, the corners of Ye Wen's mouth were slightly upturned, he let go of his hand, and pointed towards the little girl's delicate nose, with doting in his tone.
With a glance, I saw the food on the table, not only with rice, but also with common dishes, bacon, carp, tofu, pork, and soy sauce next to it, and I was stunned and said, "This is ......"
Xiao Qian raised her head and snorted: "It's the masterpiece of Lord Xiao Qian, cook it yourself, when you are sleeping, someone pushes a wheelbarrow and sends monthly food, so I will cook vegetables and water for cooking." ”
Looking down at the little girl's face, and taking a closer look, it was indeed stained with a little stove ash, which should have been washed, but there were still some traces left under the rush.
In an instant, I knew Xiaoqian's thoughts, my heart warmed, my fingertips crossed her cheeks, and I couldn't help but smile: "If you want to show off your cooking skills, then I have to learn it well." ”
With that, the two walked hand in hand and sat down at the table.
Ye Wen looked at the food on the table, and sighed in his heart, these foods, put a few months ago, except for one or two times when he dreamed, he didn't dare to think about it on weekdays.
The monthly food supply in the gang is more than enough for two people to eat, even if they let go of their hands and feet to eat, it can be said that it can be called abundant food and clothing, and the treatment of the hall master level is so extraordinary, otherwise it will not cause dissatisfaction among some brothers in the gang.
Although this is not an unconditional supply, but a kind of life money, since you have received food and silver, you must obediently obey the orders of the gang, and fight for the gang's territorial expansion and defense of the sphere of influence.
Speaking of which, since joining the Blood Wolf Gang, he has not really participated in a gang war, on the one hand, due to the jungle trial, all kinds of undercurrents lurking, the atmosphere is weird, and it is not triggered, and on the other hand, there are disputes within the Blood Wolf Gang, so that the pace of expansion has been temporarily stopped, although it is a matter of time to start again, maybe there will be an order to fight tomorrow.
"Brother Ye, this carp is very hard to cook. Xiao Qian was a little unhappy when she saw Ye Wen stunned.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I remembered something just now, and I accidentally wandered, I'll try it now, and taste Xiaoqian's proud work. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, which melted in his mouth, tasted fresh and sweet, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How's it going?" Xiao Qian's eyes sparkled.
Looking at Xiao Qian's expectant eyes, Ye Wen rubbed her head and praised: "It's so delicious! Xiao Qian will definitely be an excellent chef in the future." ”
After speaking, he took a big bite of rice, picked up the vegetables and meat, and put it in Xiao Qian's bowl, Xiao Qian immediately smiled with satisfaction and ate happily.
As the sun sets, the room becomes darker, but there is a sense of warmth, and the smell of warm chatter is faintly heard outside the house on the steaming table.
"Well, well, the carp is delicious, the tofu is delicious, and the pork is delicious. ”
"Brother Ye, you like it so much, why don't you let me cook in the future. ”
"It's going to be tiring, isn't it?"
"Hmph, I'm not tired at all, the training you arranged is tiring to death. ”
"Xiao Qian, be obedient, those trainings can't be put on hold, if you succeed in quenching your body early, Brother Ye can rest assured. ”
"Okay, got it. ”
"Huh, why don't you see Xiaobai? It's so gluttonous, it's always the first to lie down at the table and grab fish and meat to eat. ”
"Brother Ye, you only found out now, if you let Xiaobai know, you will definitely bite your arm in anger. ”
“...... It has been biting me since day one, and if you hadn't stopped me, I would have kicked it to death. ”
"I don't know who has been rubbing Xiaobai's fur desperately from the beginning, looking very satisfied?"
"Ahem, this ...... You haven't said where it went?"
"I don't know why, Xiaobai seems to be very tired, sleeping soundly in my room, and can't wake up no matter how much he wakes up. ”
......
After dinner, Xiao Qian happily cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, looking like she was afraid that her credit would be robbed, and she took action, quite in the style of a little hostess, Ye Wen saw it, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Xiao Qian, you stay in the house and wait for me, I have something to go out and come back soon." ”
"Yes. Xiao Qian nodded, humming a tune she heard from nowhere, and happily cleaned up on the table.
Ye Wen smiled, went out, walked for a while, and entered a room.
This is a quiet and clear room, sixteen blood wolf gang members with wolf patterns embroidered on their clothes and notebooks hanging from their waists, and they are all in one place to review some documents.
Most of them are gray-haired, more than half a hundred years old, leaning against a rattan chair, holding a teapot, drinking leisurely, vaguely, but exuding a breath that cannot be underestimated.
Ye Wen's heart was awe-inspiring, it was difficult for outsiders to imagine what kind of ability these old people who were unconditionally supported by the gang were, but most of the Blood Wolf Gang members would definitely not be able to ignore their existence.
If the Senate is a group of elderly people who are firmly on the front line, then these white-haired old men are people who voluntarily retreat to the rear, are in a semi-secluded state, and faintly hold the lifeblood of the gang.
The so-called civilian gangs may not sound like a stream, but in fact they are the backbone gangs that approve all kinds of gang activities, from foreign conquests to signing cooperation contracts, all of them pass through their hands, although they are not the only checkpoints, but even the leaders of a gang cannot ignore their opinions.
If the sixteen white-haired old men oppose at the same time, even Su Linglong may not be able to force it, but fortunately, in the internal disputes in the gang, although they are not on Su Linglong's side, nor are they on the side of the Senate Council, they can be regarded as a neutral faction.
In some gang affairs, the attitude was quite ambiguous, such as summoning Ye Wen into the gang and placing him in the position of hall master, but he did not show any dissatisfaction, and it was quickly approved.
On this point, Ye Wen also felt close to him, if he was strongly opposed at the beginning, with Su Linglong's freewheeling, maybe he would quickly give up recruitment, then he could only return to the slums, waiting for the opportunity to join other gangs, from this level, these unrelated old people can be regarded as half a benefactor.
Moreover, with their status, they should have enjoyed higher treatment, but they were willing to live in seclusion in such a small house, although they had no worries about food and clothing, but compared to their merits and power, they were extremely light.
In the past few months, Ye Wenlai has seen the undercurrents under various power struggles, and in addition to opening his eyes, the ugliness of his desire for profit has also made him feel lost.
Ye Wen's expression did not move, and he walked over slowly, with a respectful attitude.
These sixteen old people, with profound cultivation, could not have noticed Ye Wen's arrival, but at this time, listening to the gradual sound of footsteps, they didn't even raise their heads or glance at them, and continued to flip through the scrolls on the table.
Ye Wen bowed slightly, and didn't make a sound, just stood quietly aside.
Nearly half an hour later, someone raised his eyes to look at Ye Wen and said lightly: "Hall Master Ye, I don't know what to do when I come to visit at this time?"
The tone was cold, Ye Wen knew the details of the other party, and he didn't feel angry, and these old people were well-informed, and they must not be unaware of the turmoil at noon, but they were afraid that they would be dissatisfied because of this, although he also felt confused, he also thought that Lu Dazhong's death had nothing to do with him, but after all, he was a victim during the strife, and as the fuse of the gang strife, he was inevitably a little annoying.
Ye Wen smiled embarrassedly, and continued: "Elders, the next breakthrough triple is imminent, and I want to retreat for more than ten days, and I still ask the elders for approval." ”
Hearing this, the sixteen old men present moved at the same time, and their sharp eyes fell on Ye Wen's body.
