Chapter 11 The eleventh mutation

The east has just appeared a white belly, and the milky white morning mist has filled the earth. Five thirty-five. Black Panther was still sitting on that sofa and hadn't moved. After drinking, he suddenly felt the pain from the gunshot wound on his leg. After all, he was a human being, and he was not made of iron. But what really troubled him was not the wound, but the news Qin Song brought back. "How many people did you take?" Black Panther asked. "Eleven." "All the thugs that Zhang San invited from the south have gone?" Qin Song nodded: "Brother Tan is also there."

"There are eleven of them, and none of them can deal with him?" Black Panther's thick eyebrows were already frowned. Qin Song sighed: "They might not have been defeated so quickly, but after they saw that he was using 'backhand', they seemed to have no fighting spirit." Almost everyone knows what a terrible martial art "backhand" is, because it's what Black Panther uses. Black Panther frowned even tighter: "Who saw it first?" "It's Master Tan," Qin Song replied, "He has seen your kung fu." "what do you say?"

Qin Song smiled wryly: "When he knocked down that surnamed Qian under the 'Liuhe Bafa' sect, the move he used was almost exactly the same as the move you used when you knocked down Araki. Be right back." Black Panther didn't ask any more questions. The muscles of his whole body were tense again, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, maybe it was excitement?or fear?After a long time, he said slowly: "There are only two people in the world who know how to do backhand!" Qin Song nodded: "I know." "Besides me, the other one is Luo Lie."

Qin Song nodded again, he had heard the name Luo Lie before. Black Panther clenched his fists: "But Luo Lie was not such a person in the past, he would never fight for a stinky bitch, unless he..." Qin Song probed: "Unless he came here deliberately to make trouble." Black Panther punched the sofa again: "Unless he already knows what happened here last month, he already knows that Hu Biao's boss is me." "Do you think he would know?" "He shouldn't have known," Black Panther gritted his teeth, "It's impossible for him to come here."

Qin Song didn't ask him why?Qin Song has never been a talkative person. But the Panther himself took it up: "He should still be in a German prison now." Qin Song finally couldn't help it and said: "A person like him, I'm afraid there are very few prisons in the world that can hold him." "But he is willing to go to jail, why did he escape?" Black Panther pondered: "Unless he already knows what's going on here." But how can a person locked in prison know what happened thousands of miles away? "Maybe that young man is not him, maybe he has taught that young man the backhand way." Qin Song's speculation is not completely unreasonable.

"Maybe..." Black Panther said slowly, "There is only one way to know whether he is Luo Lie or not." "Are you going to see him yourself?" Black Panther nodded. Qin Song didn't say anything, just looked at his legs. Of course he understood what Qin Song meant, and suddenly smiled again: "Don't worry, if he is Luo Lie, he will never do anything when he sees me. I never told you, we are old friends." "What if he wasn't Luo Lie?" "If he's not Luo Lie, I'll kill him!" Black Panther's smile seemed far more cruel than Qin Song's: "If I have an opponent in this world, it's Luo Lie, and there's absolutely no one else!"

Qin Song seemed to want to say something more, but at this moment he saw Bobo rushing out from behind, his eyes were bright, and his face was also shining. "Luo Lie." She said loudly: "I heard that you are talking about Luo Lie. If he is not dead, I know he will never die." Black Panther looked at her with a sullen face, and nodded suddenly: "Yes, he is indeed not dead." Bobo was so excited that his breathing became short of breath: "Has he come back?" "Yes, he's back." Panther sneered, "Do you want to see him?" Looking at the expression on his face, Bobo's heart suddenly sank, and he shouted again: "If you don't let me see him, I will die. If I die, I won't let you go."

"I will definitely let you see him, just like I have let you see Second Master Jin." Hei Bao's expression was even colder: "It's just that it's not the time yet." Bobo's bright eyes suddenly filled with fear: "Don't you want to deal with him, like my father?" Panther sneered. "Have you forgotten how he treated you before? Have you forgotten who taught you backhanding?" Bobo yelled: "If you really dare to do this, you are simply not a human, but a beast! " Hei Bao ignored her, turned to Qin Song and asked, "Are there any vacant rooms down here?"

"Have." "Take her down, no one is allowed to let her up without my order." Hei Bao's voice was as cold as ice: "If anyone wants to break in, kill her first!" What's down there? Hell, of course, hell on earth. Jealousy is sometimes even stronger and more terrifying than hatred. Eleven people, not all fell to the ground. When the young man stopped, the remaining five people also stopped. It was as if the last gong had just been struck on the stage and suddenly there was complete silence in the room. Then the young man sat down slowly and looked at the six people who fell on the ground.

They all had painful expressions on their faces, but they never uttered a painful moan, or even moved. They have let many people fall under their fists, and now they fall themselves without complaint. This is their profession. Maybe they don't know how to respect their profession, but since they have done this profession, they have to do it decently, even if their teeth are knocked out, they have to swallow blood. This strange young man looked at them with a strange look, maybe it was pity and sympathy?Still a kind of sorrow from a kind heart. He suddenly found that the expressions on the faces of the five people standing in front of him were almost exactly the same as those of their fallen companions.

"I said that I have always shot very hard." He sighed softly, and closed his eyes: "Take them for treatment now, maybe they won't be disabled yet." Of course they understood what he meant. To them, being disabled is equivalent to death. No one really wants to die. They looked at the cruel yet kind young man in front of them, and suddenly there was an indescribable gratitude and respect in their eyes. Then those who could still stand quietly lifted up their companions and retreated quietly, as if they didn't dare to make any more noise to disturb the young man. They can only use this method to express their gratitude and respect, because this is the first time someone treats them as "human beings", not as beasts, nor as being used by others tool. He heard them go out, close the door, still didn't move, didn't say another word. He suddenly felt very tired, and could hardly bear to give up all of this, give up all the love, hatred, and anger in his heart, and leave this man-eating city far away. Only now did he realize that he did not belong to this kind of life, because he would neither eat nor be swallowed. He found that his nostalgia for the peaceful life before was far more than anything else. That green hill, that green water, that soft grass, and even that clumsy and ugly big rock suddenly became the most cherished things in his life. Maybe he shouldn't have left the place at all. He closed his eyes tightly, and could already feel the tears under his eyes. Then he felt a pair of gentle hands caressing his face, with the strange smell of powder, cigarettes, wine, and men's body odor mixed in his hands. Only a woman who has betrayed herself for a long time can have this smell on her hands. But the hands themselves are wide and powerful, and the palms even have calluses from the hard work in the past. He couldn't help holding these hands gently: "Did you often do things before?" Hongyu nodded, apparently a little surprised by what he asked. After a long time, a sour smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I have not only done things, but also cut firewood and planted fields." "Are you from the country too?" "Where is your hometown?" "In a place far, far away." Hongyu's gaze seemed to be looking forward to a place far, far away, "That place is very poor and remote. I didn't wear a pair of clothes for me until I was eleven years old." Make your own pants." Her smile was even more sour and desolate: "But that's better than now. Now I always feel like I don't wear pants. Even if I wear a fifty-dollar suit, when people look at me, it's like I'm still looking at me." as completely naked." He couldn't help opening his eyes, looked at her, and sighed softly: "Maybe you are the same as me, and you shouldn't have come at all." She looked into his eyes, and she was suddenly filled with gratitude, because this was the first time someone treated her as a "person" instead of a tool to vent her desire. "Why did you come? Why do you do this?" Hongyu didn't answer, she just knelt down slowly, knelt at his feet, hugged his leg, and leaned her cheek on his leg. He could feel the tears on her cheeks immediately. "The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet again?" It was at this moment that he really realized the sadness and bitterness in these two poems. He caressed her hair, and suddenly felt an indescribable impulse in his heart: "Are you willing to come with me, and then go back to the countryside to farm and chop firewood?" "Really?" Hongyu raised her face, her tear-filled eyes were full of hope again, "Are you really willing to take me away?...Are you really willing to want me, a woman who is so dirty that she is about to rot?" "It's just that we don't have a fifty-yuan suit in our country, nor do we have seventy-year-old champagne." Hongyu stared at him, and the tears slowly flowed down again, but they were tears of joy: "I have never believed in men, but this time I don't know why, I believe in you." She held tightly His hand said again, "Although I don't even know your name, I still believe in you." "My name is Luo Lie." "Luo Lie? Luo Lie, Luo Lie..." Hongyu closed her eyes and repeated his name over and over again, as if she had made up her mind to keep his name in her heart forever. Luo Lie's eyes suddenly showed a kind of deep sorrow, and he seemed to feel that it was another person calling him—calling him from a far away place. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his whole body tightened. Hongyu seems to have sensed the change in him: "But I also know that this is just a dream." She smiled sadly: "Of course you will never really take me away." Luo Lie forced a smile: "Why not?" "Because I can see that you already have someone else in your heart. Maybe you came here for her this time." Women seem to have a strange intuition, always aware of something she should not know. Luo Lie didn't answer her, as if his heart wasn't here at all. "But no matter what, I'm still grateful to you." Hongyu said softly, "Because you finally had this kind of intention, I..." Her voice suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly showed fear, and even her body shrank into a ball. She suddenly heard the knocking of keys outside the door, which was as clear and joyful as the ringing of a bell. "Black Panther." Her voice was hoarse: "The Black Panther is here!" At this moment, there was a sudden "bang", the door had been kicked open, and a man in black stood coldly outside the door, the key in his hand was still ringing, but his people Standing there like a statue. "I heard someone here is looking for me, who is it?" "It's me." Luo Lie slowly stood up, staring at him with a strange expression on his face. The same strange expression suddenly appeared on the black panther's granite face. He suddenly yelled, "Judge!" "Silly boy!" "Is it really you?" "It's really me." The two stared at each other face to face, suddenly laughed at the same time, jumped out laughing, and hugged each other tightly. Hongyu was stunned, almost forgetting that she was still nearly naked. I don't know how long it took before they separated slowly and stared at each other again: "Are you that black panther?" "I am." "I never even dreamed that Black Panther was you." Black Panther's previous name was Xiao Hei, and everyone called him Xiao Hei, but no one knew whether his surname was Hei. "But I guessed that you were the one who came to make trouble." Black Panther smiled: "Apart from Luo Lie, who else can beat my brothers to flee? Except Luo Lie, Who else would have such great ability and courage?" Luo Lie laughed loudly: "If I knew they were your brothers, maybe I would rather be beaten." Black Panther smiled and glanced at Hongyu, and said calmly, "Is it worth getting beaten up for this woman?" "Of course it's worth it." Luo Lie pulled Hongyu into his arms and said, "Do you remember that sentence we all admired before?" "Even if you want to drink milk, you don't have to keep a cow at home." Black Panther smiled. "That's right, you still remember," Luo Lie hugged Hongyu tighter, "but now I'm ready to keep this cow at home." Black Panther looked at them, as if feeling very surprised: "I seem to have heard that you and Bobo..." "Don't mention her again." Luo Lie's eyes suddenly showed pain again: "I don't want to see her anymore." "Why?" Panther looked even more surprised. "Because I know she will never want to see me again, and I am no longer worthy of her." Luo Lie smiled bitterly: "The former judge has long since changed, and now he has become a prisoner." "Prisoner?" "I've killed people, I've been in prison, and I'm still a wanted murderer until now." The black panther seemed to be stunned, and after a long time, he shook his head vigorously: "I don't believe it." "You should believe it." Luo Lie's expression gradually calmed down, and he said lightly, "I used to fight with others over wine and women." "Never will." "But now I have changed. Now I will kill people for a month's drink money." Black Panther looked at him in surprise, apparently still not believing it. "Everyone is subject to change." Luo Lie smiled again, "Actually, you yourself have also changed. The idiot who used to bang his head against a rock seems to have become a tycoon now." Black Panther laughed suddenly: "That's right, in the eyes of others, I'm indeed a tycoon." He patted Luo Lie on the shoulder vigorously, "But in front of you, I'm still the fool I used to be." "Are we still good friends like before?" "Of course it is." Hei Panther didn't think about it: "Since you have come, from today onwards, everything I have is yours." Luo Lie showed gratitude on his face, and squeezed his hand tightly. "In two days, I will arrange everything for you. If you want to raise cattle at home, I can arrange a house for you that is big enough to raise a hundred cattle. If you want to drink, you can drink whatever you like, as long as you Not afraid of being drowned, you can even take a bath with wine." Black Panther is not a person who likes to brag, but he feels that he doesn't have to be too humble on purpose in front of old friends. Of course Luo Lie understood what he meant, so he didn't refuse his kindness: "I want what you have, and I want the best. Since I've come, I'm sure I'll eat you." Panther laughed, obviously satisfied with his attitude: "But those are things for the future, and now we have more important things to do." He glanced at Hongyu again: "Can you ask your cow to sleep for a while, so that we brothers can have a good chat." Luo Lie laughed and pushed Hongyu away, and patted her plump buttocks: "Go and recharge your spirits, wait for me to fix you again." Looking at his movements and expressions, the panther felt more satisfied in his heart. This person's threat and pressure on him are not as great as before. This man is no longer the former judge, as if he has really become a prodigal son. What satisfied Black Panther the most, of course, was that he had no idea what happened here last month. "When did you come?" Heibao suddenly asked again when he saw Hongyu walking into the bedroom twisting her waist. "Yesterday." Luo Lie replied, "I just got off the boat yesterday morning." "There are no women on board?" Black Panther smiled. "It was because I had been a monk on the boat for twenty days that I was so anxious to find a woman last night." The black panther laughed: "You just happened to meet Mr. Hu. I have already noticed that he has a bad complexion recently. He must be unlucky." He suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Where have you always been? Are you really in prison?" Luo Lie nodded: "And it's in the worst prison in the world. In the eyes of the Germans, except for the Germans, everyone else is an inferior race. They look down on the yellow race and the Jews the most." "How did you get in?" "Because I taught them a lesson, I want them to know that the Chinese are as good as the Germans." Luo Lie smiled: "I punched their champion on the nose, who knows that the German champion , was beaten to death by the Chinese with one punch.” Black Panther laughed again and said, "This kind of lesson is hard for anyone to forget." "So even though they knew I was defending myself, they still sentenced me to ten years in prison." "Ten years?" Black Panther raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't seem to be ten years yet." "Not even a year." "But you're out now." "That's because the German prisons are just like the noses of their boxing champions, not as strong as they imagined." Luo Lie said lightly, without showing the slightest uneasiness. In his opinion, prison escape seems to be a big deal. very common. "So you, judge, are now a wanted murderer?" "good." "I hope they send someone here to catch you." The panther smiled: "I also want to test whether the nose of the Germans is hard enough." "Do you know why I came here? Why did I live in this room?" Luo Lie asked suddenly, very strangely. Black Panther shook his head, and there was no sign of uneasiness on his face. "Hamburg is a very complicated place, but wherever you go, you can see drunk sailors walking around in groups with bitches." Luo Lie slowly continued: "There are far more criminals than good people there, but I happened to meet a good person." Panther is listening. "He has killed people before, but for his friend, he would even cut off one of his legs to use as a crutch for his friend." Luo Lie sighed: "When he knew that he could get me out with only one hundred thousand yuan, he would immediately I am ready to do whatever it takes to earn this 100,000 yuan." "I would also like to make this kind of friend." Hei Bao still didn't change his face. "It's a pity that he is already dead," Luo Lie sighed, "he died in this room." Black Panther seemed surprised: "How did he die?" "I came here just to find out how he died." Luo Lie showed grief and indignation in his eyes, and said, "The news in the newspaper said that he committed suicide by jumping off a building, but I don't know I believe he is a suicidal person, even if he jumps off a building, it must be because someone is forcing him." The panther pondered, and suddenly asked, "Is his name Gordon?" "You recognize him?" Luo Lie's eyes were shining. The Panther immediately shook his head: "Although I haven't seen him, I have also read news about a German overseas Chinese jumping off a building in the newspaper." He suddenly patted Luo Lie on the shoulder again: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out this matter for you, but now we have to have a good meal, I guarantee that the buns in Kuiyuan Restaurant taste no worse than hamburger steak .” "It's only past six o'clock, is there a restaurant here already open?" "Even if the door hasn't been opened yet, I can still kick it open." The panther smiled proudly, "Don't forget that I'm already a tycoon here, and being a tycoon is not completely useless." It's only six forty. It was already very light. Black Panther was rarely in such a happy mood. He felt that Luo Lie was completely under his control, just like that gecko, but he didn't want to hold his hand tightly just yet. It also seems that many people are like geckos. Although they have a pair of big eyes, they can't even see the danger in front of them. Putting his hands on Luo Lie's shoulders, Hei Bao took a long breath with a smile: "The weather is really good today." The weather is indeed good, but it's a pity that this place is always gloomy and humid, and the sun can never be seen. This is not a prison, but it is closer to hell than any prison in the world. The cell, less than four feet wide, was filled with a disgusting stench like horse urine. In each room there is only one transom, which is slightly larger than a tofu dry, and there is nothing else - not even a bed. The flagstones were as wet as mud, but if you were tired, you had no choice but to lie down. Bobo swore to death that he would not lie down. When she was brought here, she couldn't believe that there was such a place under the luxurious and magnificent building. Even pigs and dogs couldn't stay in this place. "But girl, it looks like you've only been here for a few days. In fact, you don't have anything to complain about. This place is the masterpiece of your father." After Qin Song said this with a sneer, he walked away, and the iron gate was locked outside immediately. Bobo also tried every means to break open this door. She couldn't hit it. Then she yelled again with all her strength: "Let me out, tell the Black Panther to come and let me out." No one responded. Even the guards stayed away, and no one paid attention to her or provoked her. Everyone knew about her relationship with the Black Panther, and no one wanted to bother her. Now Bobo is not only hoarse, but also exhausted. But she still stood with her head held high. She refused to lie down. The transom is not too high, because the house is not high. On the window less than a foot wide, there are three iron bars as thick as thumbs, making it difficult for even birds to fly out. Bobo gritted her teeth, gasping for breath, suddenly felt someone knocking on the iron grille on the window behind her. A person was calling softly: "Miss Zhao, it's me." Bobo turned his head and saw a face that seemed very familiar. But she could hardly recognize this face anymore. The face that was originally very young and beautiful had been distorted and deformed by the beating. The nose, which used to be quite straight, has now been crooked and shattered by the beating. "It's me, Xiaobai, the one who brought you here that day." Popo finally recognized him. Her stomach began to shrink immediately, and she could hardly bear to vomit: "You...how did you become like this?" "It's Qin Song." Xiao Bai pressed his face against the iron fence, his eyes were full of grief and hatred: "He beat me hard." "Why?" Bobo asked in a voiceless voice. "Because I shouldn't have talked to you." Xiaobai forced a smile, but couldn't help it: "I also understood, so after you went upstairs that day, I ran away, but Qin Song still refused to let go Me, I was arrested three days ago." "This beast." Bobo gritted his teeth and scolded fiercely: "All the people here are like black panthers, they are all beasts." Looking at the boy's distorted and broken face, she could hardly hold back the tears. "Actually, his beating is nothing," Xiaobai comforted her instead: "If it were their old seventh and old eight who made the move, I'm afraid I don't have a good piece of meat on me now." He suddenly smiled, but he could actually laugh, and said: "Besides, the thirty-odd days I've been in exile have been hard, but it's not in vain." Bobo gritted his teeth, barely holding back his tears: "Do you have anything else to gain?" Xiao Bai nodded, and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Do you know a man named Luo Lie?" Bobo was taken aback again: "How do you know I recognize him?" "Because I have met him." Xiao Bai seemed very proud: "And I have talked with him for a long time." Bobo was even more surprised: "How did you meet him?" "I was hiding in a laundry woman's attic." Xiaobai's face seemed to be red, and he licked his injured lips with his astringent tongue before continuing: "I was planning to take advantage of their Dragon Boat Festival carnival." I fled to the countryside, but Blind Chen brought him to find me." "Blind Chen?" "Blind Chen is a friend I have known since I was a child. He treats me better than his own brother." Xiaobai said: "He was also a member of the inside, but later he was blinded with lime, so he changed his career to pheasant. Tell the fortune of the bitch in the den." "How could Luo Lie recognize this blind man?" Bobo still didn't understand. "He came here more than ten days ago. He has inquired about many things secretly and made friends with many people inside." "Inside" means "in the organization". Bobo understood what this meant, and her eyes immediately shone with hope: "Does he know that I... am here?" "When he came to me, he already knew a lot of things, and I told him everything I knew." "You trust him?" "Blind Chen also trusts him very much, and everyone trusts him." Xiaobai's eyes showed respect, and he continued: "I thought that Black Panther was already the most remarkable person, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a second one in this world." He is such a powerful person, and now I know that the real powerful person is Luo Lie." Bobo's eyes became brighter: "The person the panther fears the most is him." "He's been here for more than ten days, and the Black Panther doesn't even know anything about it." Xiao Bai's expression was also very excited: "But he has already found out everything about the Black Panther." "But I know that the Black Panther is already looking for him." Bobo looked worried again. "That must be what he wanted. The Black Panther must have thought he had just arrived here." Xiaobai seemed to be full of confidence in Luo Lie: "If there is anyone in the world who can deal with the Black Panther, that person must be Luo Lie." "Will the Black Panther see that Luo Lie is here to deal with him?" Bobo was still worried. "Absolutely not." But Xiaobai seemed very sure: "Maybe he has already held the black panther in his palm, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and he will tighten his palm." A smile appeared on his broken face: "By that time, the black panther will not be able to escape even if it wants to." Bobo bit his lip, thinking, the brilliance in his eyes had suddenly disappeared, and he became indescribably sad again. Xiaobai immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, I believe that Mr. Luo will definitely find us and come to us." Bobo forced a smile, and she could only smile, because she knew that this boy would never understand her pain. She wanted to see Luo Lie, but was afraid of seeing Luo Lie. She didn't know what to say when she saw Luo Lie. "Luo Lie, I'm sorry for you, and I know it myself," she suddenly made up her mind: "But as long as I can see you again, I'm still willing to sacrifice everything." Bobo raised his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "No matter what, we must find a way to let him see us, and we must find a way to help him defeat the Black Panther!" Xiaobai clenched his fists, and his eyes sparkled: "We must have a solution." Kuiyuan Pavilion is a very conservative old-fashioned shop. All the layout and rules inside have hardly changed in the past thirty years. The master chef in the kitchen was promoted by the former apprentice, and the shopkeeper in the shop used to be a waiter. How many condiments and toppings should be used in a bowl of noodles, the master chef will never be wrong if he grabs it casually, as if it is as accurate as weighing it with a scorpion. For them, this is almost an unchangeable law, but today this rule has been broken once. The Kuiyuan Pavilion, which was stipulated to open at seven o'clock every morning, was 40 minutes earlier today. Because they have a regular customer, today they want to bring his old friend to eat noodles early. Of course, this is not entirely because this person is their regular customer. The most important thing is that they all know that no matter who refuses this person's request, it is a very dangerous thing. Now Black Panther sat down at his fixed table, but gave Luo Lie the seat facing the door. Now he is not afraid to turn his back on the door, but a guy who just escaped from prison, it feels completely different - it is safer to see everyone coming in through the door before others see him some. Finely sliced ​​ginger and vinegar are placed on the table. "This shredded ginger is cut by the master himself, and the vinegar is also very good Zhenjiang mature vinegar." Hei Bao smiled, not trying to hide his pride: "The biggest advantage of this restaurant is that they always give special treatment to regular customers. .” Luo Lie picked up a piece of ginger, dipped it in some vinegar, and chewed it slowly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a very strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. He saw a boy selling newspapers, striding in from the sunlight outside. The boy shouldn't have seen Luo Lie at a glance, the sunlight outside was already very strong, and his eyes couldn't immediately adapt to the darkness in the store. But now there are only the two of them here. As soon as the boy walked in, he immediately walked over to them: "Sir, do you want to buy a newspaper? It's good news..." Before he finished his sentence, he had already seen Luo Lie clearly. A sincere and happy smile suddenly appeared on his face that seemed to never be washed clean. "Brother Luo, why are you here?" He yelled, and said, "Blind Chen is still thinking about you, I don't know where you have been these two days, I haven't seen you for two days, why do you seem to have suddenly become rich. " Luo Lie also smiled, but it was a helpless smile. He knew that now there was nothing else to say, nothing to do but laugh.
