Chapter 2 The second round of rich people

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said: "As long as you say a word, I can throw my head away, but I still can't let her go?" The two went out laughing. Unexpectedly, the little woman ran out suddenly, grabbed Hu Tiehua's sleeve, and shouted: "Do you want to leave just like that?" Hu Tiehua was stunned, and said: "Have we not paid the money yet?" The little woman hissed: "Whoever wants your wine money, I want your people." After saying this, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were stunned. Hu Tiehua stammered: "Then...then why have you been ignoring me?"

The little woman said: "I ignore you just because I know that you like me because I ignore you." Hu Tiehua was stunned again, and said with a wry smile: "Chu Liuxiang, did you hear that? You must not regard any woman as an idiot. Whoever regards a woman as an idiot will be an idiot himself." The little woman had tears in her eyes and said: "Please don't leave, as long as you don't leave, I will marry you immediately." As soon as she uttered the word "marry", Hu Tiehua tore off the sleeve and escaped like a rabbit being chased by a tiger. Although Chu Liuxiang's movements were not slow, although he was riding a BMW, it took a lot of effort to catch up with Hu Tiehua, and laughed: "Don't be afraid, she can't catch up with you, she is not as good as Gao Yanan .”

Only then did Hu Tiehua relax her steps, and said with a wry smile: "Listen, she actually knew that I liked her because she ignored me, and you killed me. I don't believe that such a woman is actually so smart." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "No matter how stupid a woman is, she is smart about this matter. She may have been waiting for a man like you to take the bait all her life. Will she not keep her eyes open?" Hu Tiehua sighed: "Women! I'm afraid I'll never understand women again in this life." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "But women know men well. They know that most men are cheap."

Hu Tiehua finally laughed too, and said, "You just want to say that I'm a bitch." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Since you think so yourself, why should I deny it?" He had already dismounted, and walked side by side with Hu Tiehua for a while, and suddenly found that Hu Tiehua was not on the way out of the customs, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?" Hu Tiehua said: "Lanzhou!" Chu Liuxiang said: "Lanzhou? The Black Pearl is in the desert outside the pass. What are we going to do in Lanzhou?" Hu Tiehua said: "The two of us will go to the desert like this. When we see the black pearl, I'm afraid we can't even lift our hands. Do you still want to fight?"

Chu Liuxiang frowned and said, "I also know that the desert is very dangerous." Hu Tiehua sighed: "Dangerous? Do you think the word 'dangerous' can describe it? People who have never been to the desert would never dream of how terrifying the desert is." Chu Liuxiang said, "Are you scaring me?" Hu Tiehua closed his eyes, and said slowly: "On that vast desert, a human life is really too insignificant. Even if the famous Chu Liuxiang died there, it would be nothing." Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, "You can't scare me." Hu Tiehua ignored him, and he continued slowly: "It's so hot in the daytime that you want to peel off your skin, but it's so cold at night that it can freeze your blood. It can turn into hills in a blink of an eye, and when a storm strikes, the entire city may be buried in the desert, plus the deadly water, it is said that every hour in the desert, at least ten people will die of thirst.”

Chu Liuxiang said: "I have been to places more dangerous than this..." Hu Tiehua opened his eyes, and said loudly: "You used to deal with people, but now you have to deal with the power of heaven and earth. What's more, you don't know anything about the desert, but the black pearl grew up in the desert. , timing, location, harmony of people, you can't take advantage of any of them, why do you want to win over others?" Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "That's not bad." Hu Tiehua said: "Besides, I'm afraid you don't know where he is, do you?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said, "Not bad!" Hu Tiehua said: "So, you can't find him at all. Do you think the desert is as big as your yard? Where the sky connects to the ground, and the ground connects to the sky, so you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. You can’t even understand a single word of the shepherd’s words in the desert, if you want to go around in circles there, try your luck, if you go around twice, you will get lost, and within seven days, you will die of thirst!” He stared at Chu Liuxiang, and said loudly: "You are the clearest minded, but this time you are in a hurry?"

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, then smiled wryly: "I was indeed driven crazy, but I still have to go, if you don't..." Hu Tiehua said angrily: "You old bug, do you think I'm scared?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Then what do you mean..." Hu Tiehua roared: "What I mean is, if we are going, we have to get things done successfully. Let's not run to die like idiots. Let's be calm and calm, and grab that kid's throat at once." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Are you calm now?" Hu Tiehua couldn't help laughing, and said: "I saw that you suddenly seemed like an impulsive child, and I couldn't help but get angry. We are adults now, and adults have to behave like adults when they do things. "

Chu Liuxiang said with a wry smile: "These days, my heart is really a little messed up." Hu Tiehua laughed and said: "You are so considerate of others, which shows that you are still a lovely person, not a fox or a poisonous snake as others said." He roared again, and said, "But if we want to save people, we have to turn into foxes and poisonous snakes. In that kind of place, lovely people don't live long." Chu Liuxiang looked at him, shook her head and said, "I might be able to turn into a fox, but a poisonous snake...even I can't be turned into, let alone you."

Hu Tiehua laughed again, and said, "So we need to find someone who can become a poisonous snake." Chu Liuxiang asked, "Who?" Hu Tiehua said: "Dead rooster." Chu Liuxiang lost her voice: "You mean Ji Bingyan? Do you know where he is?" Hu Tiehua said: "He is in Lanzhou." Chu Liuxiang said: "He is familiar with the desert?" Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "You know, he has already made a fortune, and his fortune was made in the desert. After he separated from you, he went to the desert. Within five years, he became the most shrewd businessman and the biggest businessman in the desert." rich man."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and sighed, "But you are still a pauper." Hu Tiehua smiled wryly: "That's why I said a long time ago that the less capable a person is in terms of women, the more successful he will be in his career." Chu Liuxiang laughed and said, "Do you think you are good at women?" Lanzhou, the most prosperous city in the Northwest, is also the place where wealth is concentrated in the Northwest. Most of the wealthy businessmen in the Northwest live here.In this kind of place, wealth is nothing to people, but when you have enough wealth, people will still be respectful. Ji Bingyan is one who can make people respect him, which means that there are very few rich men like him no matter where he is. He didn't do any fixed business, as long as it was a profitable business, he would step in. If he could earn more than ten taels of silver in various businesses in Lanzhou city, one tael would be his. Such a person, who would not know him? So Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua found his place easily. A porter with a burly figure and a giant spirit led him into the leafy courtyard. Two teenagers in spotless white gowns led them into the spacious and gorgeous living room. Everyone treated them politely. Courteous, impeccable, although they are not as well dressed as concierges. Several layers of bamboo curtains are hung in the living room, and the summer heat of autumn has all been separated from the curtains. The breeze blows the bamboo curtains, and it seems that there are swallows flying in the curtains. Hu Tiehua sighed, and said: "This is what a wealthy family looks like. Even if those servants look down on us in their hearts, they are still polite on the surface. Our dead rooster seems to be born rich, but it doesn't look like an outburst at all." household." Chu Liuxiang stared at the flower shadow on the window, listened to the sound of water outside the window, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, suddenly said: "I see, this is very difficult." Hu Tiehua said: "What is so difficult?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Don't you know what he is like? If you want to drag him from this kind of place to the desert under the strong wind and scorching sun, I'm afraid no one can do it." Hu Tiehua said with a smile: "That's right! He is indeed an out-and-out self-made man. He never asks others for help, and he never intends to help others. But don't forget, he is our good friend after all." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Friends are always inferior to me." Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "Don't worry, I always have a way to ask him to go with us, at worst I set his house on fire, see if he can go?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slight cough from outside the bamboo curtain. Four hair-cut girls in white clothes like snow came in with a soft couch, one of them leaned down on the soft couch, and laughed loudly: "Chu Liuxiang, madman Hu, I can't imagine that you two drunks have not forgotten I." Although he was laughing, his eyes were still as sharp as a hawk's. Laziness, slowness, and indecision are the common faults of most people, but no matter when, no matter who it is, it is impossible to find the slightest expression of this kind of expression on his protruding face. It's like the embodiment of shrewdness and sharpness. Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua had already greeted them with big smiles. Hu Tiehua said with a smile: "You are getting more and more arrogant. When you see your old friend coming, you don't stand up." Ji Bingyan smiled faintly: "If you can make me stand up, I will give you all of this." Hu Tiehua was startled, looked at his legs covered by soft felt, and said in a voiceless voice: "Your legs?" Ji Bingyan sighed: "My legs are no longer useful." Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were all stunned! Hu Tiehua finally couldn't help screaming, and said loudly: "When did this happen, which **** bastard did it? I won't smash the bastard's two legs, my surname is not Hu." Ji Bingyan smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to avenge me, it seems that you will have to disappoint you." Hu Tiehua shouted angrily: "If Chu Liuxiang and I can't avenge you, I'm afraid there will be no one else in this world who can avenge you." Ji Bingyan sighed: "There is no one in this world who can avenge me." Hu Tiehua roared: "Why?" Ji Bingyan said: "It's not someone who paralyzed my two legs, but the desert! It's the damn sun and the damn wind in the desert..." He said with a wry smile: "I have been wandering in the desert for five years. I'm afraid no one can imagine how I lived those five years. Once, I was buried alive under the sand until two days later. Rescued by a caravan of passing camels, that damned desert gave me wealth that I would never spend in my life, but it also gave me rheumatism, and now the rheumatism is just coming from my legs." Hu Tiehua was stunned again when he heard that, and said sadly: "Ji Bingyan! Ji Bingyan! I always thought you were a hard-hitting person. I always thought that nothing in the world could hurt you. Who knows..." He suddenly kicked a chair next to him away, and shouted: "Damn desert, why is there such a hellish place in the world? And why did you ask us to go there?" Ji Bingyan lost her voice and said, "Are you going to the desert too?" Chu Liuxiang nodded heavily and said, "Exactly." Ji Bingyan sighed: "Listen to my advice, don't go to the desert for the rest of your life, you'd rather go to hell than go to the desert, you can trust me, it's definitely not a place for a sober person to go." Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, "Who says I'm still a sober person?" Ji Bingyan was surprised: "Is there anything else in the world that can make Chu Liuxiang's head dizzy?" Hu Tiehua rushed to tell the story, and said: "We originally wanted to go with you. After hearing the story of your fortune from the mouth of a traveler who came from the desert, I thought you had conquered the desert. Who knows?" now you……" Ji Bingyan suddenly grabbed the blanket covering her legs tightly, and hissed: "But now with my two legs, I...I can only watch my friends go...go..." This calm person suddenly became agitated, as if he wanted to struggle to get up, but his legs were immobile like logs, and he fell off the soft couch. Hu Tiehua quickly helped him up. Seeing his old friend like this, Hu Tiehua was about to cry, but he laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to feel bad. If you go without you, the old bug and I can still be together." The desert is full of chaos, you just wait here and watch us vent your anger on you!" Tears welled up in his eyes, he rubbed his eyes, and laughed again: "If you think that without you, we are going to die, then there must be something wrong with your head, me and the old bug are not weak big girl." Ji Bingyan covered her face with her hands, her body was trembling constantly. Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "But if you don't pour the wine again, even if I want to carry you on my back, I will carry you to the desert." Ji Bingyan's excitement finally calmed down, and she also laughed loudly: "Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua have been here for so long, why haven't I prepared wine for them, I really deserve to die..." Delicate and delicious dishes are placed in the exquisite porcelain, and the amber wine is filled in the wine glass carved from white jade. In the eyes of a gluttonous alcoholic, this can be regarded as the most lovely sight in the world, let alone pouring wine beside it. For the wine, there are two beauties who are worthy of a second glance from any man. But Chu Liuxiang did not use his usual appreciation attitude to admire their beauty, because they were so close to Ji Bingyan, even a blind man could feel it—he himself was drinking good wine from his old friend, How can you make an old friend jealous? Hu Tiehua didn't even look at them, he just ate and drank desperately. When most people are in a bad mood, they will use wine to vent their anger. He not only ate by himself, but also fed Ji Bingyan cup after cup. He believed that as long as a person could still eat and drink, even if his leg was broken, it didn't matter. He suddenly laughed and said: "Ji Bingyan, just rest assured, you will not die. A person who can still drink so much wine can live for another thirty years at least." Ji Bingyan smiled and said, "You don't drink wine with your legs, do you?" Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said, "That's right! Even if your leg is broken, everything else is fine. I'm relieved now." Ji Bingyan suddenly sighed and said, "But I'm a little worried." Hu Tiehua stared and said, "What are you worried about?" Ji Bingyan said: "You two want to go to the desert like this?" Hu Tiehua said: "Leave when my stomach is full." Ji Bingyan said slowly: "You two go to the desert like this, I guarantee that you will not live for ten days." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "As long as others can live, we can live as long. Unless the desert is full of dead people, we can also live." Ji Bingyan said: "This is different. People who live in the desert have long been tempered to be as strong as iron, so strong that you can't even think about it, but you..." Hu Tiehua said angrily: "Do you think Chu Liuxiang and I are inferior to others?" Ji Bingyan sighed: "Your martial arts and wisdom are naturally much higher than them, even much higher than anyone else in the world, but your heart, your bones, have long been consumed by wine, meat, women, and a too comfortable life. It has been softened, and the life in the desert is no longer something you can adapt to.” Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Do you think we live comfortably?" Ji Bingyan said slowly: "That is at least ten times more comfortable than anyone living in the desert. They can not speak or move for a few days in order to avoid the water consumption in their bodies. Can you? When they are hungry, can they Can you eat lizards like ham? When they are thirsty, they can dig a hole in the sand with their hands to suck the water in the sand underground. With this trace of water, they can live Three days, can you? They can even drink camel urine, can you? You just have to sniff the smell and you'll spit it out, and once you spit it out, you'll die faster!" When he said this in one breath, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua couldn't help being stunned again. Ji Bingyan sighed, and continued: "The people in the desert, what you have done to survive, you must do, and you dare not even think about it." Hu Tiehua smiled wryly: "At least I really don't dare to drink urine." Ji Bingyan said: "When it is necessary, if you dare not drink, you will die. If they dare to drink, they can survive, so they are better than you. This is a matter of survival. It has nothing to do with martial arts and wisdom. It doesn't matter." Chu Liuxiang was silent for a long while, and slowly said word by word: "There are some things, even if you know you will die, you still have to do it." Ji Bingyan sighed: "Of course I also know that Chu Liuxiang is determined to do one thing, no one can stop it, but you must go, and you can't just go like this." Chu Liuxiang said: "How should we go?" Ji Bingyan said: "You have to prepare a lot of things." Chu Liuxiang said: "What are you preparing for?" Ji Bingyan said: "You need to prepare at least five camels to carry food, water, food, dormitory, and some odds and ends. Although it seems useless, there will be useful things when the time comes. You have to find another veteran to take care of them. Livestock..." He continued with a smile: "Of course you don't need to worry about these things yourself. I will prepare them properly for you at dusk tomorrow." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "But we are not going here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, nor to enjoy the blessings. You must not spoil us. I can take care of the livestock. I have two horses and a few bags of water. And food, it is enough, if you can prepare some wine for the madman, I will be more grateful." Ji Bingyan sighed, and murmured: "Chu Liuxiang! Chu Liuxiang! I didn't expect you to be as bullish as you were ten years ago."
