(Uploaded a new book, I hope everyone will spread the word. I would like to thank you with my hands folded.)
Deep in the sea to the east of the Chinese Alliance, there is an island called Rainbow Island. The island is not big and is covered with buildings of different heights. The most eye-catching among them are the seven towering chimneys in the center of the island. It is now autumn. , the billowing smoke was blown by the autumn wind to the depths of the sea. From a distance, the smoke looked like dark clouds before a heavy rain.
The area around the chimney is the smelting plant on the island. The useless scrap copper and iron are thrown into the furnace by workers every day. While the workers remelt the scrap metal, they also rely on this job to maintain the livelihood of the island. .
Because when it was time to pay wages, the entrance to the smelting plant was very lively at the moment. Old and young people lined up and looked eagerly at a wooden table at the entrance of the smelting plant in front of them. On the wooden table were banknotes of different sizes and denominations. The voluptuous woman who was over forty lowered her head and counted her work points. Behind the woman stood four bodyguards with live ammunition, looking coldly at the people in front of them.
"How can I spend this salary after paying the rent? Accountant Shen, please advance some money to me this month." Looking at the five crumpled banknotes in his hand, a young man said to the woman with a wry smile.
"Want to get an advance? If you think so, you won't be afraid of losing your life to make money!" The woman called Accountant Shen replied coldly without raising her head: "Next!"
Looking at the bodyguard behind Accountant Shen, the young man opened his mouth but turned around and left without saying anything. When he came to the crowd, the young man looked around and found that several friends who were usually close to him seemed to avoid him. He looked at him and smiled bitterly. Just when the young man lowered his head and was about to leave, a person grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, I will give you some of my salary later." The person who said this was a young man about twenty years old, with neat short hair and light blue eyes. When he said this, the young man smiled and showed his pure white eyes. Although the autumn wind was slightly cold, he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt on his upper body.
Looking at Chu Yu, the young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded after hesitation.
"Wu Xiaofei, you don't even know how to say thank you? When Chu Yu brought Chu Chu to the island, you made trouble for their brothers and sisters, right? I remember..." A sloppy uncle standing in front of Chu Yu said at this time, Chu Yu interrupted him mid-sentence: "Uncle Tie, you are the one who said this about thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Who hasn't had any difficulties? Don't worry about it so much."
Listening to Tie Quansheng's ridicule and seeing Chu Yu defending himself, Wu Xiaofei showed a trace of shame on his face. His face was slightly hot and he whispered to Chu Yu: "Chu Yu, thank you."
"I'm sorry." Chu Yu smiled and said, "You took so much sick leave last month, so it's normal for your salary to be low."
Wu Xiaofei hummed softly, lowered his head and said nothing more - when Chu Yu first came to Rainbow Island four years ago, he had no place to live, and the straw shed he built was burned twice by himself, and he had returned it to Chu Yu in the factory during the past four years. Yu had two troubles, but Wu Xiaofei didn't expect that Chu Yu would help him at this time.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofei glanced at Chu Yu, and many things flashed through his mind. When Chu Yu first came, because his light blue eyes were very similar to those from the Wells Empire, Chu Yu was often scolded. Bastard, the year before last, when a foreman scolded Chu Yu, he also scolded Chu Chu, and the words were quite vicious. Chu Yu, who had always been easy to express his emotions and anger, became furious and rushed to fight with the foreman. As a result, he was beaten by the foreman's henchmen. A group fight. After paying the price of three broken ribs and bruises all over his body, he knocked out all of the foreman's teeth.
From then on, the workers in the factory learned two things. First, Chu Yu didn’t like to have anything to do with the country called Wales. Second, Chu Yu’s health was very good, beyond imagination.
, with three broken ribs, he only lay down for two days before continuing to work. So much so that the entire island now knows that Xiao Chu from the smelting plant is a fierce man who cannot be defeated and will not die from exhaustion.
"This man likes to do things that are icing on the cake. He seldom provides help in times of trouble, but more often adds insult to injury." Although Chu Yu interceded for Wu Xiaofei, Tie Quansheng still said insinuations from the side.
"Uncle Tie, I was young and ignorant at that time, but now I finally know what a friend in need is a friend indeed." Wu Xiaofei said and looked at the friends who were calling themselves brothers at the wine table.
"It's not entirely their fault. They live on this small salary on this shabby island." Chu Yu said softly from the side.
"I don't know when this shitty life will end." Tie Quansheng said, taking a puff of the cigarette in his hand, then threw the cigarette butt hard on the ground and dug it into the dirt with his toes.
"It would be great if I could leave here." Wu Xiaofei said with deep feeling. As soon as he said the words, Wu Xiaofei realized that he had said something wrong. After shutting up, he carefully looked around - from the time when the smelting plant was built on the island to now.
, it’s not that no one wants to leave here, whether they are running away or protesting, those who want to leave are eventually tied to stones by Luo Tianyou and silently sink to the bottom of the sea.
"As long as you live, sooner or later you will have a chance to leave this place where birds don't shit." As soon as Chu Yu finished speaking, a man's voice came from outside the crowd: "Where is Chu Yu?"
When Chu Yu heard the shouting, he turned around and saw a bodyguard beside Luo Tianyou standing outside the crowd shouting.
"What does Ye Guanghao want to do with you?" Looking at the person coming, Tie Quansheng frowned at the side.
Chu Yu shook his head without saying a word, and walked up to Ye Guanghao. Looking at Chu Yu's back, Tie Quansheng lowered his head, with an imperceptible cold light flashing in his eyes, while Wu Xiaofei on the side looked at Ye Guanghao's face with some confusion.
I am confused. As Luo Tianyou's personal bodyguard, Ye Guanghao rarely comes to the smelting plant. Could it be that something happened to Chu Yu?
At this time, Chu Yu had already arrived in front of Ye Guanghao and glanced at Chu Yu. Ye Guanghao was the first to speak: "Chu Yu, Lord You is looking for you. Come with me."
"Brother Hao, what's so urgent? How about waiting for me to get my salary?"
Turning his head and looking at the people queuing up to collect their wages, Ye Guanghao showed a trace of impatience on his face: "Follow me." After saying that, Ye Guanghao walked towards Accountant Shen.
Looking at Ye Guanghao's back, Chu Yu quickly followed and came to Accountant Shen. Ye Guanghao greeted Accountant Shen. Chu Yu quickly got his salary and gave one thousand to Wu Xiaofei.
Yu gave all the remaining money to Tie Quansheng and asked Tie Quansheng to give it to Chu Chu in his residence. After doing all this, Chu Yu followed Ye Guanghao to the villa where Luo Tianyou lived.
Luo Tianyou's villa is on a high hill in the southwest of Rainbow Island. There is a helicopter parked in the center of the villa. Standing on the gatehouse of the villa, you can overlook all the buildings in the center of the island. At night, you can even see the lighthouse of the Chinese Alliance.
, but this is what Chu Yu has heard, because after living on Rainbow Island for four years, this is the first time Chu Yu has entered the villa.
Glancing at the crosses engraved on the stone pillars on both sides of the villa door: "When you are proud, you must be happy; when you are frustrated, you must be diligent". Chu Yu followed Ye Guanghao into the villa and glanced at the fully armed bodyguards in the villa. Chu Yu's
His eyes finally landed on an ancient attic. There was a flower bed in front of the building. An old man in a gray, slightly old-fashioned but dignified Chinese tunic suit was holding a pair of scissors in one hand and tending to the flowers and plants in front of him.
The flower is amaryllis, and the old man is the owner of this island - Luo Tianyou.
"Master You, Chu Yu brought it to you." Ye Guanghao came to stand behind Luo Tianyou and said softly.
Luo Tianyou hummed softly and did not look back. Instead, he continued to cut the branches and leaves of the flowers with concentration. Ye Guanghao stood aside sympathetically, while Chu Yu stood there and waited quietly.
The sunlight fell on Luo Tianyou's body, reflecting a slightly curved shadow on the ground. Chu Yu's eyes fell on the shadow, wondering why the island owner found a small person like him.
"Good flowers don't always bloom, and good times don't always last." After a moment, Luo Tianyou turned to look at Chu Yu and said: "When I first came to Rainbow Island twenty years ago, Lycoris flowers were everywhere on the island. Now they are everywhere.
It’s all dust. The days when flowers bloomed, butterflies danced, birds chirped and cicadas chirped in my memory seem to have become silhouettes, and you have grown up.”
As he spoke, Luo Tianyou looked Chu Yu up and down - Luo Tianyou was no stranger to the young man in front of him. Chu Yu came to the island four years ago. At that time, he was outside the villa and watched the young man walking towards the smelting plant with some reluctance.
direction. For four years, the smelter's payroll has always been on his
It will take effect after signing, and Chu Yu's name is always the one ranked highest. This is not what surprises Luo Tianyou. What surprises him is that except for the time when Chu Yu had a fight with others and he lay down for two days, he has been lying down the rest of the time.
Going to work has been the same for four years, which makes Luo Tianyou no stranger to Chu Yu.
But these were not the things that impressed Luo Tianyou about Chu Yu. After all, money was something external to the body, and Chu Yu might work hard because he loved money. But what made Luo Tianyou change his impression of Chu Yu was another thing: At that time, Chu Yu
When Yu was fifteen years old, he was paid his first salary. Chu Yu paid 900 yuan, but took 300 yuan to come to him. At the same time, he also gave himself a card number, saying that it would be three-thirds of his monthly salary in the future.
One of them is hit on this card.
This made Luo Tianyou very puzzled. He asked Chu Yu why. Chu Yu just said that he was saving money. After getting Luo Tianyou's permission, Chu Yu turned around and left. Later, Luo Tianyou ordered someone to check the owner of the card number and the owner of the bank card number.
He is a hunchbacked old man from the Chu family in the city that never sleeps in the Chinese Alliance. He once saved Chu.
From then on, Luo Tianyou had a good impression of Chu Yu. Every time he paid his salary, he would deduct one-third of his life from Chu Yu’s salary and send it to the hunchbacked old man, and Chu Yu no longer
After asking about this, he used the salary, which in Luo Tianyou's opinion was not enough to pay for a drink, to support himself and Chu Chu.
"Hello, Mr. You." After Luo Tianyou finished speaking, Chu Yu bent slightly and said hello.
Nodding, Luo Tianyou turned his head and glanced at Ye Guanghao: "Chu Yu and I will chat alone." Ye Guanghao retreated after hearing this, but did not go far. He just stood in the distance and paid attention to this side.
"I wonder what Master You wants from me?"
"Have you read the news? Zhao Bingzhang of the Zhao family in Qingshui City is dead. So what if he practices martial arts and is invulnerable? In the end, he will become a lonely tomb?" Looking at Chu Yu standing in front of him, Luo Tianyou's eyes showed
A little less gentle and a little more sharp: "I heard that someone on the island wants to lead the trouble in the past two days?"
"It's not a trouble, they just want the ship to the Chinese Alliance." After speaking, Chu Yu considered his words and continued: "The air on the island has become worse and worse in recent years. If we can be freer..." Chu Yu
Before Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Tianyou: "Want to be free? Without me, the people on this island would have died long ago. How many of them fled here after being desperate and committing crimes? Now I want to
Can you negotiate terms with me?"
Chu Yu said nothing.
"Since they want to make trouble, I will make them quiet. There are many ways to make people quiet." Luo Tianyou said and looked at Ye Guanghao in the distance: "I will make them understand a truth..." At this point Luo Tianyou said
Tianyou paused for a moment, "Besides talking, the biggest use of the mouth is to eat. Who is clamoring to give them tools to communicate and go to the Chinese Alliance..." As he spoke, a sneer flashed across Luo Tianyou's face: "I will
Shut them up forever!"
Chu Yu frowned slightly.
"I have only six words for dealing with things, no forgiveness, no kindness. You have to learn more about this." Luo Tianyou said, turning around and looking at the smelting plant in the distance: "They are a bunch of trash who want to communicate, want to
Freedom to land, but they forget that I am no savior."
"I bought this island at a huge price. I control their life and death. Want to be free? Yes, but they must first learn to obey."
"In this world, the strong respect the ruthless as the king, and the truth is always in the hands of the murderer. Throughout the ages, who among the emperors and dignitaries has not killed? If you don't kill, you will be benevolent. This is the way of heaven. The weak will eat the strong and the fittest will survive, or kill.
Or be killed, this is the beginning of all great things." After speaking, Luo Tianyou chuckled and turned to look at Chu Yu: "You have to believe that bad people may not be punished, and good people may not always have a safe life."
Facing Luo Tianyou's gaze, Chu Yu hummed.
"Before you came to Rainbow Island, you were a dead soldier of the Chu family in the Evernight City. I think you have not lost the skills you learned in the Chu family. Now I want you to do something for me."
Chu Yu, who was thinking something bad, lowered his head without changing his expression and said, "Master You, please give me your orders."
"He will naturally tell you after you follow Ye Guanghao to the Chinese Alliance." Luo Tianyou said with an emphasis on tone: "Didn't you always want to send Chu Chu to study at Haoran College? After that, she can leave here to go to school."
Chu Yu knew that he had no choice, and Luo Tianyou had made such a big offer, so he nodded and said okay.
"No poison, no husband, remember what I said, what is before you now is a road of no return, this is your life." Luo Tianyou said, stepping forward and patting Chu Yu on the shoulder: "I have done too much
A lot of evil, but I live a good life, so I don't believe in retribution, I hope you can understand."
"Thank you Master You for your teaching." Chu Yu said, raising his head and looking directly into Luo Tianyou's eyes: "If anything happens to me, Master You, can you let Chu Chu go?"
"This is natural." Luo Tianyou nodded: "Go and get ready and set off at dusk."
After listening to Luo Tianyou's words, Chu Yu turned around and walked out of the villa without any more nonsense. Watching Chu Yu's back disappear, Ye Guanghao, who came to Luo Tianyou's side, said with a little worry: "Master You, is Chu Yu okay?"
"God knows this, and you know it and I know it. If Chu Yu fails...you know what to do." As Luo Tianyou spoke the last syllable, a brightly blooming Lycoris flower fell from under his scissors.
Falling, the blood-red petals scattered all over the ground...
