Ten Days End

I came to Brother Chong's office without knowing what was going on.

"Ajin, sit down." He smoked a cigarette, dismissed the people around him, then opened the drawer and threw a stack of banknotes on the table.

"Brother Chong... what are you doing?"

"Master Rong is in Guangdong. I'll give you the address. Go find him." Brother Chong said lightly.

"What?" I was a little confused. "Didn't the whole gang say that they are hunting Master Rong? So you know his location?"

"Yes." Brother Chong nodded. "Hunting him is just a trick I put out."

"But why?"

"Ajin, I know Master Tong's intention. Instead of the two million, he wants you as a talent. You can earn him another two million. But if I tell Master Tong this news, he must go and kill Master Rong because of the rules of the underworld. How can he take you in then?"

I frowned slightly and couldn't understand it.

"So this news can only be stopped here by me. What to do next can only be planned after you meet Master Tong."

"Brother Chong, you said Master Tong wants to take me in, but I am Master Rong's man after all..."

"Ajin, the two bosses are at odds with each other, you are just following orders, Master Tong cannot fail to understand this." Brother Chong exhaled a puff of cigarette, his expression a little sad, "It's just that you disappointed him."

My expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Brother Chong, I am a stupid person, I insist on my principles. Master Rong is my boss for one day, and he will be my boss for the rest of his life. Now that he is on the run, I should take care of him."

"You may regret it." Brother Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Some people say nice things, but secretly make you do deadly tasks. Some people seem unkind, but they really want to keep you as a talent..."

I am stupid, but I am not stupid.

How could Master Rong want my life?

He asked me to learn boxing, and I had to continue practicing even if my hand was broken, that was to train me.

He asked me to fight more than 30 people by myself, that was to temper me.

He asked me and Jiuzi to draw lots to serve in the kiln for him, just to test me.

I have worshipped Guan Erye, I understand all these principles.

"Brother Chong, thank Master Tong for me." I interrupted him, stood up, and took the money on the table, "I will find a way to pay him back for this travel fee."

Seeing that I was stubborn, Brother Chong also got angry.

"Damn stubborn boy... Go! You'd better die in Guangdong!"

He turned his back in the swivel chair and waved his hand angrily: "Get out."

Before leaving, I stopped and turned around and asked: "Brother Chong, why does Master Tong recognize me so much?"

I saw Brother Chong's back still puffing smoke. He thought for a long time before finally saying lightly: "Because in this era, it is difficult to find such a pure "jianghu atmosphere" in you. Favor is favor, hatred is hatred, and what you do is not good, but try to be a good person. You are very much like us when we were young. "

He took out a necklace from his bosom and threw it to me without looking back.

I took it and flipped it over. It was a small copper plate with the word "Tong" engraved in the middle.

"If you want to go back to the gang after you finish your work, this thing can help you. Go away."

I put the copper plate into my jacket pocket and bowed deeply to Brother Chong.

There are many people in this world who have done me a favor. After I repay Master Rong's favor, I will definitely repay Master Tong and Brother Chong's favor.

...

The next day I came to Guangzhou.

According to the information given by Brother Chong, Master Rong now lives in a fairly high-end apartment.

Knowing that he is doing well, I can rest assured.

In the evening, I knocked on Master Rong's door.

It took a long time for the other end to hear movement. After the door slowly opened, I saw him.

Master Rong was still the same, no change compared to four years ago.

"Ajin...?"

He was stunned at first, then showed a happy expression, but then suppressed his joy.

His expression changed three times in just one second, and he looked very complicated.

Mr. Rong let me into the house. The decoration here was very simple, with only some necessary furniture.

There was another person in the house, I thought it was Jiuzi.

It turned out to be a woman.

"Brother Rong... who is this?" the woman asked.

"Jinglan, Ajin." After Mr. Rong finished speaking, he looked at me again, "Ajin, sister-in-law."

I bowed my head to the woman and called, "Sister-in-law."

Mr. Rong waved his hand and let the woman leave for the time being.

Before the woman left, she kept looking at me suspiciously, and I stared at her without showing any weakness.

I grew up with Mr. Rong since I was a child, and I never remember this sister-in-law.

"Mr. Rong, where is Jiuzi?" I looked around and felt that there was no room for three people here.

"Ajin..." Mr. Rong took out a cigarette, "Ajiu is dead."

My pupils trembled slightly, hoping that I had heard wrongly.

"What did you say happened to Jiuzi?"

"On the way we fled to Guangdong, Jiuzi was hacked to death by Fei Tong's men." Rong Ye took a deep breath and lowered his head in annoyance.

What?

Jiuzi was hacked to death by Tong Ye's men?

I felt my heart jump suddenly, as if I had lost something important.

Countless fragments flashed through my mind, but those fragments were like fireworks exploding in the air. I wanted to reach out and grab them, but I was burned.

I remember when I was eleven years old, Jiuzi smiled heartlessly and said to me: "Ajin, you have strength, I have brains, let's follow Rong Ye together!"

But now the "fist" is back, but I don't have a "brain".

Rong Ye and Tong Ye gave me completely opposite statements. With my own wisdom alone, I couldn't figure out what was going on.

"When did it happen?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"It's been more than ten days." Grandpa Rong shook his head. "Ajin, I'm sorry to Ajiu and you. You came out yesterday, and I couldn't go to see you."

I sat down slowly, feeling a blank in my mind.

What's going on?

I feel that everything is a little strange, but I can't tell what the problem is.

Did Grandpa Rong lie to me... or did Grandpa Tong lie to me?

At this time...if it was Jiuzi, what would he do?

I'm really too stupid.

"Ajin, you've worked hard in the kiln." Grandpa Rong said, "You can rest here today."

"Today?" I shook my head and said, "Not only today, Grandpa Rong, I want to continue with you."

"With me?"

I nodded.

"Yes, just like more than ten years ago." I said, "You are my benefactor, and I haven't repaid your kindness yet."

Grandpa Rong paused slightly, and the ash fell to the ground.

"Ajin, don't think about it, I'll take you downstairs to eat something." He stood up and put on his coat.

I followed him out of the house.

We ordered beer at a street stall. Rong Ye was very silent, and so was I.

He ordered a roasted bear paw, which was something I had never seen before.

Watching him eat it voraciously, I thought, that thing must be delicious, right?

Yes, bear paw must be delicious.

Rong Ye has eaten it, which means I have eaten it.

After a few bottles of beer, I felt a little depressed.

I missed Jiuzi very much, he was my brother, but I didn't expect that after four years of hard work, I didn't even see him for the last time.

Thinking of this, I opened a bottle of beer and spilled it on the ground.

Cheers to my brother.

Rong Ye saw my expression, shook his head helplessly, and then stood up to pay the bill.

He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't speak for a long time, and then he saw the sign of the video hall next to him.

He thought for a long time and said, "Ah Jin, you don't like prostitution and drugs, let me take you to see a movie to relax."

It was a movie made by a foreigner, called "Terminator".

I have never seen such a movie in my life.

Later I thought about it again, I don't have money to watch a movie.

But this does not prevent me from liking "Terminator".

Are all the movies based on real stories?

It was so shocking that I forgot about Jiuzi for a while.

Until the end of the movie, when the screen went black and English started to appear, I was reluctant to get up and leave.

How great would it be if Jiuzi could see this?

He is so smart, he can definitely tell me how these robots were made.

They are obviously machines, but they are willing to let people take pictures of them.

It's a pity that Jiuzi will never see it again.

"Ah Jin, I want to retire."

The voice of Rong Ye came from beside me.

"What?" I turned my head to look at him.

"I'm old, it's not suitable for me to go on like this." Rong Ye shook his head, "You go."

"Go..." I blinked, "Rong Ye, where do you want me to go?"

"Don't take this road, anywhere is fine." He smiled bitterly and said, "This world is very big, remember? The world is broad, but the humble are narrow."

How could I not remember?

Those are the words on my back.
