When all the murderous aura in Xu Ruifeng's body disappeared in an instant, and his frown was slowly relieved, on the street under the night, two figures, an old one and a young one, were rushing towards him step by step.
He is old.
In just one month, the old kite's hair has turned gray, and the wrinkles on his skin under his swollen eyelids have become deeper. But when we first met him, his words were full of resentment.
"Okay, Lao Xu, it's true that a man beats the country and the dog sits in the palace. Now that I'm the warden of the Japanese, you don't recognize me?"
Xu Ruifeng was happy. He had not shown such a sincere smile for a long time, and he smiled so unpreparedly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Do you know how anxious I was when you were captured by the Japanese? How did I persuade you at the beginning? I told you one hundred and eighty times that Shangkun people can't do it. Do you listen?"
"What happened!"
"Oh, now that you've followed the Japanese and started eating foreign food, you're going to get rid of us all, right?"
"I, Gou Shengzi, old beggar, and old faker, you don't want any of them, do you?"
Xu Ruifeng leaned on his wheelchair and looked at him wistfully. He showed no sign of impatience at all and said to Gou Shengzi next to him: "Your master is still so rude."
The old harrier gave Gou Chengzi a chance to speak, and interjected: "Can I stop talking? Look at the people around you now. Wang Dajiang, who is obsessed with officialdom, and Zheng Yuan, who has a body but not a brain.
The Yin-Yang man Yin Youdao, with these few people, do you want to fight Qu Guang?"
"Lao Xu, do you think that all the free money in other people's homes is fake?"
Xu Ruifeng heard something in Old Falcon's words and quickly asked: "Did you hear something?"
The old harrier hugged his shoulders and said as if he had great ability: "You don't want us anymore, don't you? Then don't use us."
Lao Xu glared: "Rejoice, I have something serious to do!"
"Li Ge is here."
"who!"
"Who else could have stabbed Wang Yaqiao behind his back just for some money? In the end, he couldn't survive in Shanghai. After being forced to flee the Northeast, he became famous in South Manchuria. The number one killer in South Manchuria, the former Ax Gang
The second master, Yin Jiu, Li Ge."
Xu Ruifeng straightened himself up and asked attentively: "Is the news reliable?"
"Nonsense, can what I told you be false?"
"What is he here for?"
"Anyway, I didn't hear that I would give you a gift after you became the warden."
The old harrier glanced at him sideways: "Who doesn't know that you have offended yourself?"
Xu Ruifeng didn't answer. It wasn't because he was on guard, but because he didn't want this group of people to get involved. He asked instead, "How did you know about Qu Guang and me?"
"How did I know!" Old Yao Ying said with an expression of 'Can you hide it from me?' "I understood what was going on as soon as Zheng Yuan went to Qu Xianming's house to see his mother. Old Zheng only relied on food.
How can the cell leader, who lives a life of prisoners, have the spare money to visit the hometown of the parents of death row inmates? This must be someone's instruction. The next day I let Gou Shengzi climb a tree and saw Qu Xianming carrying a broken piece of wood through the prison wall.
Zhuan rushed towards you."
"I'm afraid you've forgotten that I told you that Qu Xianming and Qu Guang are relatives when we were chatting before, right?"
"You still want to hide it from me!"
"Cut~"
Xu Ruifeng really had no idea what to do with him. After all, the two of them had a life-long friendship. Otherwise, who in the whole of North Manchuria would dare to act like a hunchback in front of him?
"Lao Deng."
When Xu Ruifeng said this familiar title, the old kite stood beside him as usual with his fingers crossed in front of his lower abdomen and said, "Alas." It was the same as before, as if it had never changed.
"Let's break up."
His tone was very slight, without any change in tone. The old kite didn't even react: "Okay." When he understood, he turned around and asked, "What?" He still couldn't believe it.
Asked: "Repeat what you just said, I didn't hear it correctly."
Xu Ruifeng looked at him and said firmly: "We have been together for half a lifetime, and it's time for us to go our separate ways."
He couldn't say how cruel the Japanese were to these anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese people, because that would be tantamount to insulting Lao Yingying. At that time, when Lao Xu was determined to follow the Lanyi Club, they didn't even frown. Now you think
Are you afraid of death?
But Xu Ruifeng still has to say this. If he had to give a reason, it would be that Xu Ruifeng knew why he had to fulfill Xiu Niang's last wish, and the reason why Old Falcon did so many things was entirely for his personal relationship.
He didn't want Lao Yaoying to risk his life for his personal feelings. If he was going to die, what would happen to Gou Shengzi and his family?
"ah……"
The old harrier held his breath in his chest, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. With one word "Ah", he seemed to have deduced all of Xu Ruifeng's thoughts in the flash of lightning: "You want to drive me away?"
He understood what Xu Ruifeng was thinking, but what made him angry was that you shouldn't have said this!
You shouldn't even think about it!
What about Xu Ruifeng?
He watched the people around him fall one by one. He knew that once the war with the Japanese started, this was an inevitable process. How could he hope that those who fell would be the old falcon or the leftover man? He would rather be surrounded by all the people around him.
They are gangsters and bastards who cannot be trusted. At least they won't feel bad when they die.
"right."
The old falcon pointed at Gou Shengzi and said, "Did you see it?"
"Did you see it?"
"The old beggar also said that if Mr. Xu goes down, we can't go on with him without saying anything. Now I don't even want to lose my face and stick to others. It's not uncommon."
"This is because I am old and useless."
Gou Shengzi quickly advised: "No, Master, just listen to what Uncle Xu has to say..."
"I can't stand it!"
The old harrier turned his head and pointed at Xu Ruifeng: "Xu, say it yourself, when we were wiped out in Tianwang Mountain, if I hadn't been a barefoot doctor, would you have been able to eat and clothe yourself without being hungry or cold? Twenty-four in the Northeast
You came to Northern Manchuria by ground cannon. Without me, would you be alive today?"
"Now that I have taken refuge with the Japanese and have a backer, are you going to chase me away?"
"Your uncle!"
"I'm not fucking afraid of death!"
The old harrier was so angry that he didn't even know what he was talking about. He would throw out a sentence as soon as it popped into his head, twisting the words before and after.
But Xu Ruifeng understood. He stretched out his hand and held the withered arm of the old kite: "I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Gouchangzi, old fake, old beggar, I can't accept anything happening to any of you. Didn't you ask me at the beginning if Wenwan was captured by the Japanese, could I handle it? Now I can tell you, not only Wenwan
, I cannot accept if any of you are harmed by a Japanese."
"Do you know why?"
"Because resisting Japan is not about following the crowd. You have to want to do it yourself, not for me."
The old falcon didn't understand at all and said, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is huge." Xu Ruifeng said carefully: "If you are doing it for me or for other reasons, then you are an ordinary citizen. This is not a battlefield for ordinary people. You must have a firm will, an unyielding soul and
A noble ideal..."
Xu Ruifeng shocked himself. He was not sure whether he could understand the words he said, but when he said them, they came out so logically.
"Do you understand?"
The next action of the old kite eagle was in line with his style. He first reached out and touched Xu Ruifeng's forehead. After making sure it was not hot, he said in disbelief: "How much ecstasy soup did you let that bitch Wen Wan drink?"
"Old Xu, we are gangsters. You joined the Blue Clothes Club so that you and Wen Wan can be on equal terms in the future. Didn't we agree at the beginning? It's because you feel comfortable killing Japanese people like this, so you stay with Wen Wan more often.
They had been fooling around for a while, but in the end they got into trouble, and now it's ideal for them."
"Do you know how much that ideal thing costs per pound?"
"Why do you have to let me know? When we came out of Tianwang Mountain, we always did whatever you said. We have been here for so many years. We stabbed Zhang Zuolin and killed Bai Jianwu. Isn't that the same thing? Why do we do it now?
Is it different from before?"
The old harrier paused and continued: "Do you know how happy I am since I learned that you joined the military police?"
"That night, I told Gou Shengzi that your Uncle Xu would never wear a pair of pants with a Japanese in his life. He would definitely go to Cao Ying to become a gangster. We were waiting carefully around you, not daring to
I was afraid that I would take the wrong step and make something wrong, so I waited until today to find the opportunity to meet you. Why do you have to force me to become Lu Su as soon as we meet to be in the same camp?"
"Even if I don't have your ideals in my heart, I can't just follow you. I can just resist Cao Cao."
Xu Ruifeng shook his head and said: "Because you can't win that way, it will only increase unnecessary casualties."
"Lao Deng, I, Xu Ruifeng, owe you...you can pay it back in the next life, and in the next life, I will work as a cow and a horse for you." After that, he turned the wheelchair and went back.
Under the street lamp, in the cold wind, the old hawk was as dumb as a chicken.
"Master." Gou Shanzi turned around and looked at the old kite.
Although the old harrier didn't understand what Xu Ruifeng meant, he still reached out and pushed Gou Shengzi: "Go."
"Where to go?"
"Go to your Uncle Xu's place. Your Uncle Xu is now inconvenient and needs protection. You have been secretly learning from him for so many years. It's time to show off."
"What should I do if my uncle won't let me in?"
"Then if you stay at his doorstep, I don't believe he can be cruel to you!"
Until this moment, he was still thinking about Xu Ruifeng, like the shadow of Lao Xu, which he couldn't live without...
