Cui Xiaobian's home is at the foot of the overpass, in a courtyard beside the road. The courtyard door is not big, a thick black door, and the two one-foot-square stone lion carvings at the door are very fierce. This is not what Ma Xingkong imagined.
Similarly, according to his opinion, such a famous family must at least have a tall door and a few newly arrived men standing on both sides of the door, making it look like the mansion of a gang boss.
Liu Wu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was an old man in his fifties. He was slovenly. His clothes were draped around his body and his shoes were hanging loose. His disheveled hair was like a chicken coop. He looked at Liu Wu with sleepy eyes.
Liu Wu hurriedly clasped his fists: "Junior Liu Wu is here to pay homage to Master Cui, and I beg you to inform me!"
"Ah...!" The old man yawned loudly and rubbed his eyes vigorously: "I'm not at home, you can come back another day!" He said this and was about to close the door.
Shitou took a step forward, pushed hard, and opened the whole door with a loud bang. The old man who opened the door didn't pay attention, and was almost pushed by the stone. Liu Wu hurriedly supported him. Shitou waited for the old man: "You old boy, here.
You're just being polite if you hand me over, don't really think you're a green onion!"
"You!" The old man's beard trembled angrily: "You've had enough life, do you know whose family this is?"
"I don't care whose family you belong to, let Cui Xiaobian come out quickly, my eldest brother wants to see him!"
Hula la, seven or eight young and strong young men poured out of the house. Each one had an open mind, a strong back, and a fat head and big ears. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a good guy. One of them asked: "Old Liu, what are these guys doing?"
Are you running wild here and don’t want to live anymore?”
"They said they wanted to see Mr. Cui! Look, if I didn't let them, they almost tore down the door of our house?" The old man hurriedly turned around and stood next to the young men.
Liu Wu hurriedly stepped forward: "Excuse me, I am also a member of the gang. I came here to pay a visit to Uncle Cui. I don't want my brothers to be angry! I'm sorry!"
"Are you also a member of the gang?" The young man who spoke glanced at Liu Wu: "Then don't you know the rules?"
"Come if you can! It's just the few of you, and Grandpa can take care of it all!" Shitou ignored it, rolled up his sleeves, threw the gift box in his hand, and stepped forward to take action.
"Cough! Cough cough cough...!" After a series of coughs, Cui Xiaozhen walked out of the back room, still holding a huge hookah in his hand: "Xiaojiu, who is so bold?"
A few strong men made way for an aisle. Cui Xiaozhen was smoking his own hookah and walking forward little by little with square steps. Liu Wu hurriedly said: "Uncle, please forgive me for offending this old man who was the gatekeeper just now. I have offended him."
offend!"
Cui Xiaozhen blew the fire note, looked up at Liu Wu and Ma Xingkong, Shitou and the others behind him, and smiled slightly: "So it's you? Is it that that kid Chang San doesn't follow the rules and is secretly trying to trip you up?"
Got a son?"
Liu Wu shook his head hurriedly: "No! No! I came here today specifically to pay a visit to my uncle!"
Cui Xiaobian rolled his eyes, hummed with a smile, and nodded slightly: "In that case, let's come in! Jiu! Go get some tea and entertain our guests!"
He followed Cui Xiaobin into the upper room. Cui Xiaobin showed no humility and sat directly on the main seat. This living room was very strange. There was only one chair on the main seat. It seemed that no one in the capital really dared to sit on an equal footing with Cui Xiaobin.
, Ma Xingkong and others did it on the chairs on both sides. Xiaojiu brought in a few cups of tea, first put one cup in front of Cui Xiaobian, and then the others.
Cui Xiaobin didn't drink, and the others were too embarrassed to drink. They just watched Cui Xiaobin smoke one puff at a time. After Xiaojiu retreated, Cui Xiaobin asked: "Tell me! What do you want from me?"
Liu Wu smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Shi really has good eyesight. I took the liberty to come here today. Firstly, I want to thank my uncle for rescuing us from the siege at Fuxing Tea House yesterday. Secondly, I really have a good thing to do. I beg your uncle to agree to it."
!”
"Let's talk about it first!"
Liu Wu winked at Ma Xingkong, and Ma Xingkong stood up hurriedly: "Su Wen Qing Gang has a large number of virtuous people, and they are spread all over the country. There are so many people. We are new here, and some things are not easy to handle. Today we came here to ask the old man to take him in.
, if the old man doesn’t dislike me, I am willing to work under him and join the Youth Gang!"
Cui Xiaobin's hand in lighting the cigarette suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his head and looked at Ma Xingkong again. Ma Xingkong was tall and square, with a square face. He had two thick eyebrows and the fleshy ball between his eyebrows.
The size of a pinky finger. A high nose bridge, thick lips, broad shoulders, and a slim waist. The moment you stand there, you are different from ordinary people. The pair of eyes in particular are bright and empty, just like time and anything.
They can all be installed with the same indifference.
"Tell me, why should I accept you?" Cui Xiaobin lit up the hookah again and started smoking.
"Only if I dare to challenge Yuan Shikai!"
"Oh! Are you a revolutionary?"
"No! I don't know what the revolutionary party is. As long as anyone messes with me, I will kill him in front of me!"
"If you have such great ability, why would you join our Youth Gang?"
"Since I left Nanhe, I have been like a fallen leaf and can no longer find my roots. I also come from a poor family. The Qinggang has always aimed at helping the weak and relieving the poor. I also want to do some good deeds!"
"Hahaha..." Cui Xiaozhu laughed loudly: "Young man, what this guy said is not so righteous!"
"Since the old man has clearly seen my origin and purpose, can you give me an accurate answer, accept it or not?" Ma Xingkong didn't look like asking for help at all. On the contrary, it was the Qinggang's luck that he joined the Qinggang.
Cui Xiaobian hesitated for the first time. He admired Ma Xingkong from the bottom of his heart, but he felt that Ma Xingkong was too profound. He couldn't see what was going on in his mind, and he couldn't guess it. If
He couldn't decide whether taking over Ma Xingkong would bring trouble to the Qing Gang.
Liu Wu hurriedly beat the drum: "Uncle Master, although my eldest brother is from a green forest background, he has never done anything harmful to nature. He is righteous and straightforward in doing things, which fully meets our employment purposes. Moreover, my eldest brother's marksmanship is accurate, so that
His introduction will greatly increase our strength!"
Cui Xiaobin raised his hand to stop Liu Wu from continuing. He put down his hookah, stood up and looked at Ma Xingkong. Neither of them wanted to let go, and they spent half a stick of incense. Cui Xiaobin nodded: "You are a
Good boy!"
"Hurry up and become a disciple!" Liu Wu shouted immediately. Just when Ma Xingkong was about to kneel down, Cui Xiaozhen grabbed Ma Xingkong's arm with one hand: "Wait until I finish speaking!"
"If you can promise me a condition, I will accept your worship!"
Ma Xingkong nodded. Cui Xiaozhuan said: "No matter how prominent and wealthy you are in the future, or how down and out and miserable you are, you can always betray this gang! Otherwise, even if you hide in the ends of the earth, the Criminal Department I am in charge of will find you."
You clean up the door for me!"
Ma Xingkong nodded solemnly, bent his knees, knelt down and kowtowed to Cui Xiaozhu three times: "Master, my disciple Ma Xingkong kowtows to you!"
