【006】Dream ambition
The abandoned construction site where Duan Laosan met was located on the outskirts of the city. Because the capital chain was broken, the project stalled halfway through.
When I went to the construction site, I didn't go there. Shen You and Gangzi came. When they arrived, it was already dark and the surroundings were desolate. It was a dark, windy and murderous night.
At the entrance of the construction site, there were two people standing. One of them was responsible for greeting and the other was responsible for inspection. Shen and You were not allowed to enter with guns or the like.
Fortunately, Shen You and Gangzi were not people who played with guns, so they had no objection at all and walked straight in.
After entering, there were several half-visited buildings. Brother Bao and two other people of about the same age stood there to greet him. As soon as he saw Shen You, he brought Gangzi over. There was one less person than before. Yesterday, there was only one person left. Seeing that Brother Bao admired Shen You's courage, he couldn't help praying for Shen You secretly, but he still asked coldly: "Here? Just two people?"
"What's the use of having too many people? We're not here to fight in groups."
The man standing next to Brother Bao snorted and made a gesture towards Shen You. His middle finger was slightly bent, but then his thumb stood up straight.
This type of slang is used to say hello to people from the Jianghu community who pass each other by each other. They are both from the Jianghu community and say hello when they meet, just like when we meet now and are not very familiar with each other, but we see each other without looking up. It's just like a normal person, nodding or saying hello. Just like what this guy means now is that we are the masters, and you should bow your head to see us in a serious manner.
Seeing the man making this gesture, the doubts in Shen You's heart became more serious. Yesterday, he knew that Duan Laosan was just a big gangster before. He just learned some tricks in prison, and then transformed into what he is today.
Shen You had always been wondering who the member of the heretic Duan Laosan was. Now that he saw the man next to Brother Bao actually showing the Jianghu gesture, he felt even more shocked.
But he remained calm, raised his index finger and shook it a few times.
When the man saw this, his face suddenly became ugly. Shen You's gesture was very clear, which meant that he was here to see your boss, and asked your boss to come out to greet you.
According to the gestures he made, even if Shen You didn't greet him very respectfully, he still had to flex his thumb and curl up his little finger to greet him, which meant bowing his head and wagging his tail, which was considered respectful.
The man snorted coldly. He turned around and walked in without looking back, and the other man followed him in. When the remaining Brother Bao saw this, he shook his head and said to Shen You: "Let's go! "
Shen You nodded and followed them in.
After arriving between two abandoned and unfinished buildings, I saw a huge electric lamp next to it, illuminating the location brightly.
Shen You didn't bother to think about why there were electric lights in the unfinished building. After all, for the local gangsters in Shanghai, having electric lights was really a common thing.
There were not many people on the other side. In addition to Brother Bao and the other three, there were two men and two women, a total of four people.
When Shen You saw this, he thought to himself, isn't this exactly the posture of the Eight Generals of Qianmen? Could it be that this Duan Laosan is really the descendant of a senior from the previous generation of Qianmen? If that is the case, it seems that it is even more difficult to gather the eight generals. Simple thing.
The other seven people looked at Shen You and the others coldly in a fan shape, especially the man who had just made the Jianghu gesture with Shen You. The man in the middle was wearing a dazzling white Tang suit, with his back to Shen You. On the shoulder, there is a huge green peony embroidered.
Shen You asked knowingly: "I wonder which one is Boss Duan?"
At this moment, the man in the white Tang suit turned his head, making Shen You feel extremely uncomfortable.
It's not that Duan Laosan's aura is enough to make Shen You feel pressured, but seeing Duan Laosan, he feels that there are some discrepancies in the information provided by the Li family to Bai Qian.
According to the Li family's information, Duan Laosan used to be a fierce and aggressive person who played with guns and killed people. Later, he escaped from prison and started his own business.
In Shen You's mind, Duan Laosan was not only a vicious and cruel person, but also a ruthless person. However, Duan Laosan who appeared in front of him really shocked Shen You. .
Duan Laosan has a white face and no beard, and the fat on his face piles up when he smiles, smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know where my brother is from? Where are his roots?"
When Shen You heard this, the third child actually talked about the real world. Thinking that he might be a member of Qianmen, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Senior, I am very kind-hearted. I am the first person under the Yu Shenmen."
After saying this, he stared at Duan Laosan. After all, according to what he thought, if this Duan Laosan was really a man from a thousand families, the incision must be clear. However, Duan Laosan smiled slightly and waved his hand to the back. The person said: "Tea!"
Shen You was stunned. Duan Laosan actually offered to serve tea instead of answering his question. The person standing behind him moved a table from where he didn't know, and then there was a woman standing next to him with a teapot. .
"Raw tea and cooked wine" is a special thing in the world. I saw Duan Laosan pick up the teapot, his wrist trembled slightly before pouring half a cup into the cup on the table in front of Shen You.
When Shen You saw this, he understood what Duan Laosan meant. Duan Laosan made a slightly humble gesture in the first half, and then fell down halfway to show that he did not regard Shen You as one of his own.
Seeing Duan Laosan looking at him with bright eyes, Shen You immediately picked up half the cup of tea with his right hand, then stopped it with his left arm, then raised his head and drank. After drinking, he pointed the bottom of the tea cup at Duan Laosan.
Then he asked: "Brother, I don't know the forest where you walked in Jianghu? What kind of trees are there in the forest?"
Duan Laosan chuckled and said: "The forest was left by my uncle. There are only eight brothers who planted a row of willow trees."
According to the information he knew, Shen You knew that Duan Laosan was not lying. After all, Jianghu is very particular about inheritance, and it is basically a single inheritance. It belongs to the rule of passing on a man but not a daughter, and a daughter-in-law but not a son-in-law. Duan Laosan opened his mouth and said It was passed down by my uncle, which clearly means that he is not a serious inheritor of the Eight Classics. As for the willow tree he mentioned, willow trees are easy to grow and are very soft. It means that I don’t want to fight you head-on. If I can be kind and gentle, The past is the best.
But after all, Shen You wanted to understand the person who passed down his skills to him, and he also felt that what he did on the travel line was not very in line with the rules of the world, so he wanted to give him some advice.
"My little brother is also a member of the martial arts world. If you have any means, you can help me shine. If there is someone outstanding, then stay in Shanghai. Although my Duan Laosan temple is small, it is not full of Arhats."
Originally, Shen You was still thinking about how to talk to Duan Laosan, but he didn't expect Duan Laosan to show up like this. He was trying to get him to join the gang! But he didn't take Shen You and the others seriously at all!
It's no wonder that Li Baicao only knew Bai Qian, an old man who traveled around the world. Of course, even if he knew they were from Qian Sect, Li Baicao couldn't talk casually.
As for the status of millions of people, that is not the case in Duan Laosan's eyes. In his eyes, either you have a strong fist and a strong personality, or you have strong financial resources or are acquainted with powerful people. Otherwise, no matter what your seniority is, in his eyes, you are nothing. None.
As for Shen You, he felt that he was also an ambitious disciple among hundreds of thousands of disciples. Since he came into contact with the world and learned to use his brain from the old man, after escaping from prison, he dared to fight and fight hard, and his brain was also flexible. Yue also became a prominent figure in the small gang in Quancheng.
He also hopes to expand so that his name can become a founder of the door, and one day become a figure comparable to the Hongmen of the Qinggang.
People become great because of their dreams, and people develop because of their ambitions. Duan Laosan started by recruiting a group of local gangsters, and through bureaus one by one, he tricked people from other places who came to Shanghai. Slowly, he has now become involved in many places. industry.
Of course, these things do not satisfy him, because he has dreams and ambitions.
After listening to what he said, Shen You couldn't help but smile to himself, and immediately said to Duan Laosan: "Boss Duan, although I am young, I am still a shopkeeper. Wouldn't it be great to follow you around?"
"In this era of society, you have to know the importance of the platform. There are only a few of you. Apart from the young boy, you are also the old man buried up to his neck in loess. And I, Duan Laosan, to be honest, in Shanghai, It’s definitely a step-by-step climb, and it will continue to climb up step by step.”
Hearing his decisive words, Shen You couldn't help but feel something in his heart. What gave Duan Laosan so much confidence?
He immediately asked: "Boss Duan is also a waiter, isn't he? Is the shopkeeper the boss of Shanghai City?"
After hearing this, Duan Laosan's face changed and he showed a look of worry. He said in a slight panic: "Fart, what's the matter? I, I, I am the shopkeeper!"
Seeing his appearance, Shen You's doubts deepened, but he didn't say anything and just made an incomprehensible smile.
That smile made Duan Laosan feel extremely uncomfortable. He snorted coldly at Shen You and said, "Boy, are you taking yourself too seriously when you are here and playing tricks on me?"
When Shen You heard that he finally returned to the vernacular, he asked with great force: "Is it possible that Boss Duan wants to do something else?"
These words just added fuel to the fire. The strong man who welcomed them in with Brother Bao became furious after hearing this. He walked out and said fiercely to Shen You: "Do you think you have two lives? "
Shen You ignored him and turned to Duan Laosan and asked: "Boss Duan, are all your guys like this? Or is this person the real boss among you?"
Shen You's words are very vicious, and the meaning of the remaining half of the sentence is very clear. Is it possible that you, Duan Laosan, are just a follower? Can't you still make the decision?
"Fuck you!" The strong man also understood what he meant and cursed directly at Shen You.
"Humph! Those who follow me are all my brothers. If I eat, they must eat. Likewise, he can have the final say regarding some small fish and shrimps!"
