Chapter 27 first quarter
Hundreds of millions of sentient beings in the world are like sitting on a giant wheel of fate that is constantly rolling forward. Only by desperately climbing backwards to the top of the wheel can we avoid the disaster of being smashed to pieces.
In this endless climbing process, you will encounter competitors who hinder you all the time.The struggle is endless, life and death are judged.Some people continue the sinister and cruel process, while others fall into the bottom of the eternal wheel.
The huge ship rolled over, thousands of miles of dead bones, and the stench was flying.
Dusk is the dirtiest and noisy time in the broken stone: after a whole day of labor that is not commensurate with the wages, the rough labor coolies dragged their tired and hungry bodies home; the dilapidated houses around were filled with thick cooking smoke ;the whore is just up, busy applying inferior rouge to an unhealthy face, preparing for another night's reception... Yu Runsheng returned home at this time. Step through the door.In the wooden house, Long Bai was listlessly rolling the dice alone; Qi Chu was squatting in front of the window, his brows full of melancholy—he had always shown this thoughtful expression in recent months; The remaining food; Ge Yuansheng was wiping his slender hands with a damp cloth... They don't know it at all: while they are in this state of confusion and boredom, their own fate has undergone a shocking change. "Look who I brought back?" Yu Runsheng spoke loudly, and the four of them noticed that the boss appeared in front of the door and looked over at the same time. Yu Runsheng didn't have to step aside, they could also see the person standing behind him.Because that person was a full head taller than Runsheng. "Fifth Brother!" It was Di Bin who called out first.He jumped over and hugged the thick arms of the scythe.He cried. Lian Shou smiled at Di Bin.His arms hugged Di Bin and put him on his shoulders.Di Bin's head almost hit the door lintel. Ge Yuansheng punched sickle head firmly and forcefully in the chest.The sickle remained motionless, and his left hand held Ge Yuansheng's fist.The two looked at each other and nodded silently. "Old Five, I heard that you are famous in prison!" Long Bai patted Lian Shou on the shoulder and said, "It's called 'King of Boxing', right?" "Boss." There was some disbelief in Qi Chu's eyes. "How did you get Old Fifth out of prison?" Yu Runsheng smiled mysteriously, but did not answer. He took out a small pouch from his bosom and threw it into Di Bin's hand. Di Bin jumped off the sickle and wiped away tears of joy. "Bai Dou, go and buy some delicious food! Let's have a good meal!" Long Baiyong knew from listening that there was at least ten taels of silver in the cloth bag. When Di Bin was about to go out, Yu Runsheng said, "I'll buy some lamp oil too. We're going to talk late tonight."
Long Bai munched on the delicious chicken thigh, recalling how long ago it was the last time he ate chicken.He was moved to the point of weeping. And of course wine.But Yu Runsheng ordered that only one bottle could be opened.They still have a lot to talk about tonight. "Fourth brother, you eat very little." Lian Shou put a piece of braised pork in Qi Chu's bowl. "are you sick?" "It's nothing." Qi Chu was still preoccupied as he looked at the braised pork. Yu Runsheng ordered Di Bin to share some of the chicken and meat with Grandpa Xiong. When Di Bin came back, everyone was full and were sipping inferior sake. Yu Runsheng suddenly put something on the table. "Do you recognize this thing?" Except for the sickle head, the other four people all recognized it: it was the blood-stained sheepskin map when Wan Qun Li was assassinated. "You may know the origin of this map. That night, the vanguard battalion of the Imperial Army sacrificed the lives of nine scout soldiers in exchange for this map. I know it very well. Because I am the tenth. I am the only one alive bring back to the camp." "In fact, only eight scout soldiers died at the hands of the enemy that night." The people did not understand what he said. "Then what about the ninth one?" Long Bai asked. "I killed it." Yu Runsheng didn't even raise his eyebrows when he said this. Both Qi Chu and Di Bin couldn't help but feel a shudder. "That night, ten of us went to explore the enemy camp. After a detailed inspection of the enemy camp, we turned back in the dark, but unfortunately encountered enemy cavalry patrolling. Eight people were killed on the spot. Only me and the other A spy soldier hid in the bushes. "The man who was hiding with me was injured. He couldn't bear the pain and started moaning. The moaning became louder and louder. The enemy soldiers began to approach. Without hesitation, I put one hand over his mouth and the other Holding a dagger in one hand, he cut a knife on his neck. "I have no guilt. From the day I was forced to join the army, I was determined to survive the war. I did not want to die because of other people's failure or incompetence. "I'm not selfish. Because I didn't choose those generals and comrades who couldn't even stand the pain in the most dangerous time. Since I didn't have the right to choose them, they didn't want me to fight for them. the right to die. "When I was in the military, I thought through it: how stupid the so-called military is. Putting your life in the hands of strangers. Risking it for the benefit of strangers. I swore at the time that if only I could live through this War, I will never put myself in such a stupid situation again. "But you are different. Each of you is a partner I voluntarily chose. I voluntarily proposed to become sworn brothers with you. If I die because of any of you, I will have absolutely no regrets." Whether it was the alcohol or Yu Runsheng's words, everyone felt a rush of blood in their chests. There was still noise in the broken stone at night, and the wooden house was small, hot and dirty, smelling of mildew and sweat.The light of the oil lamp was dim and uncertain.But the six people in this room have completely forgotten everything around them.Because they are enjoying a supreme sense of joy.The six hearts are tightly linked together.Sharing their deepest secrets with each other.A sincerity that exists only between men. "But now we don't want to talk about 'death'." Yu Runsheng continued: "We want to live! Live better than anyone else, more comfortable than anyone else! Why? Like Grandpa Xiong said, just for one breath! Look at this city Those imbecile people in the city, why do they dress more beautifully than us, eat better than us? Why do they hug beautiful women from left to right? I have been watching, listening, and thinking for a year since I came to Piaocheng. The result I found that there is only one reason: they are lucky! They are lucky that they have not met anyone who is stronger or ruthless than them so far! But their happiness is coming to an end. Because we have arrived. "In this year, I won't allow you to make troubles or get mixed up in the Tao, just to understand the situation in Piaocheng. Although I have read more books than you—no, the fourth child should have read more than me, but I I have never been to such a big place as Piaocheng. I want to understand this place clearly. I want to understand why this city has attracted so many people and accumulated so much wealth. I want to understand why the "slaughterhouse" can dominate This place. I want to understand why Toyoshitaka, who is already the most powerful in Kyoto, also came here. Our first step must not be wrong. It's like playing chess. If you can't make the first move If you have the idea and plan to win the overall situation, this game is doomed to failure. Fourth, right?" Qi Chu nodded. "Now is the time for us to start! But there is one condition that I have to say here first: In the past, we married six brothers. Although I was the boss, we finally became friends of the same generation. Apart from not allowing you to make trouble, I never gave you any punishment." What order." Yu Runsheng glanced at his five sworn brothers. "But from now on, every step we take is a matter of life and death. If we make a mistake, we can only die. There is no turning back. So I ask that from today on, you must absolutely obey my orders. That is to say, please put your life I entrust my future and future to Yu Runsheng. Is that okay?" "Stop talking, boss." Di Bin stood up and pointed to his chest. "Have you forgotten that each of us drank the sorghum wine that dripped with blood, and each other's blood is already flowing in our bodies?" "It's so fun!" Long Bai threw the empty wine bottle to the ground. "Boss, the life of my second dragon is yours!" Yu Runsheng looked at Ge Yuansheng.Ge Yuansheng touched the gray cloth bag on his waist to signal.Three years ago, when he handed over "killing grass" to Yu Runsheng, he had actually answered what Yu Runsheng said three years later. And Qi Chu and Lian Shou owed Yu Runsheng a life long ago. "That's great." Yu Runsheng's eyes sparkled with that extraordinary brilliance again. "Now let's get to work." He took out another map. Qi Chu recognized it at a glance.That's the street map of Jiwei.
