Spy War 1929

Chapter 183 You Can't

"Master, you are back."

Fourth Master pushed the door open and entered the room. Xiaohuan, the maid who heard the movement, hurried forward to take his overcoat.

Fourth master said "um", walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Where's An He and An Ping?" He asked the servant girl.

Xiaohuan put away her clothes and brought fourth master a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold. She put the teacup on the table in front of fourth master.

"The young master and young lady are reading upstairs." She said softly.

Anping and Anhe were naturally Lin Zirong's two children.

The two were fostered in the fourth master's home, and they were the adopted sons and daughters of the fourth master to the outside world, and of course they were also to the inside.

Fourth master didn't marry a wife, and there were no concubines in the family, so he lived alone from beginning to end.

Given his current status, it was a strange thing that he didn't have many women around him.

After helping other high-level people with the ax several times, it is extremely difficult to find another person like fourth master.

Others in the Ax Gang who have some status, even if they don't have seven or eight concubines, they have to keep a few outhouses outside.

Only in this way can they demonstrate the prestige of the bosses of the ax gang.In order to be worthy of their status as the boss of the Ax Gang.

If you don't play with women, what kind of gang are you in?
Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the temple and become a monk, which is much less risky than gangsters.

Every day, I either use a small stick to knock a lump on a piece of wood, or use a big stick to strike a bell, and then use my mouth to recite scriptures to fool those pilgrims who believe in Buddhism.

If you are lucky, with red lips and white teeth, a sweeter mouth, a sweeter tongue, and a stronger body, then maybe you can hook up with a big girl and sister-in-law to break the precepts and practice Buddha nature.

This kind of life is much more comfortable than being in a gang.

Of course, that's what ordinary people like to do, fourth master is not an ordinary person after all.

Fourth Master's maverick behavior caused a lot of suspicion in the Axe Gang. At first, it was rumored that Fourth Master did not have women because he liked men.

But later it turned out that something was wrong, Fourth Master had never seen any prettier men around him, and he didn't seem to be interested in men either.

In the end, everyone understood that it wasn't that the fourth master didn't like women, nor was he disinterested in men, but that the fourth master didn't like human beings and had no interest in human beings.

In the end, somehow it was passed on, and it turned out that the fourth master was not good at it.

No one has verified whether fourth master can do it or not.

However, after the fourth master adopted two children - An He and An Ping - the statement that "the fourth master can't do it" was gradually confirmed.

With the status of fourth master, it is not difficult to want any kind of man and woman.

But fourth master is not only not close to masculinity and femininity, he also adopted two children.

If it's not that you can't give birth to yourself, then who would want to raise other people's children!
The truth is!
Fourth master can't, fourth master definitely can't!
Fourth master absolutely can't do it! ! !
Closer to home——

When the people upstairs heard the voice downstairs, they immediately ran out of the house, and the sound of hurried footsteps came down the stairs.

The first one to come down was a tall and strong boy who looked about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall, which was considered tall among boys of the same age.

A girl followed behind him, she looked like a weak and courteous girl.

"How did you come down?"

Fourth master glanced at the tall boy walking in front and the frail girl behind, put down his teacup and said to the two.

"Hey, teacher, you are back!" The tall and strong boy stepped forward and said.

"Sister Xiaohuan, please pour me and my sister a cup of tea." He turned his head and said to Xiaohuan who was standing beside him.

The maid named Xiaohuan was about five or six years older than the two of them. She nodded and smiled in response, then turned around and poured tea for the two of them.

"Miss Xiaohuan, I'll help you." The frail girl behind followed.

After the two left, Anping laughed and sat down next to Fourth Master.

"Teacher, my sister supervised me to finish writing those textbooks and writing that you let me learn.

I can also memorize the books you asked me to memorize. When do you think I will follow you to the Ax Gang? "

The boy Anping said with a smile to Fourth Master, with a flattering smile on his face.

Both An He and An Ping grew up beside Fourth Master since they were young, and they both treated Fourth Master as their father in their hearts.

But fourth master didn't let them call him father, but let them call him teacher.

It's just that the relationship between Anping and Fourth Master is neither like father and son, nor like a teacher.

The way the two get along now is like a big brother and a little brother.

If Anping's behavior at this moment happened in other families, he would have to be criticized for not being big or small.

But fourth master obviously didn't care.

Fourth master not only has a casual appearance outside, he is still casual at home.

Seeing Anping's expectant look, Fourth Master smiled.

"Are you sure you know it all?"

"I'm sure!" Anping patted his chest confidently.

"Then recite the Analects to me."

"The Analects of Confucius. The Analects of Confucius" Anping raised his head, frowning bitterly.

He stuttered all of a sudden, and didn't say a word in the Analects of Confucius for a long time, and he just scratched the back of his head in anxiety.

Seeing this, fourth master shook his head with a smile on his face.

There's no need to identify it, you can tell it's the leader's seed at a glance.

Apart from their appearance, they are similar in every way.

"About the Axe Gang, let's talk about it after you can really memorize it." Fourth Master said, and picked up his teacup again after speaking.

At this moment, Xiaohuan and An He also came over with a cup of tea each.

The two couldn't help smiling when they saw Anping scratching his ears and cheeks.

This is obviously not the first time the two have seen this scene.

"Teacher, have you eaten yet? Miss Xiaohuan and I will warm you up with something to eat?" An He sat down on the sofa and said to Fourth Master.

Although she is only 13 years old, she has already begun to show the temperament of being a lady who knows how to read and respect.

Although An He and An Ping were born of the same sibling, their temperaments were completely different.

Anping is more like Lin Zirong, tall and strong, with a lot of strength, and put it in the countryside, it is a good material for farming.

It happened that Lin Zirong also came to Shanghai from the countryside.

And An He was more like her dead mother.

The mother of the two is a female college student raised by Lin Zirong outside. She is beautiful and has a good temperament, otherwise Lin Zirong would not have taken a fancy to them.

Their mother's fate can be said to be somewhat similar to Fang Yanyun's. Both are female college students, and they both live in Shanghai.The difference is that one met Feng Jingyao and the other met Lin Zirong.

It's hard to say which of the two is luckier.

Fang Yanyun met Chen Ledao and changed her destiny.

The two mothers gave birth to Lin Zirong's child, and they were at the crossroads of transshipment, but unfortunately, she couldn't cross this crossroads.

Back to the topic--

Hearing An He's words, fourth master smiled and shook his head.

"I've eaten it," he said.

Both An Ping and An He have good temperaments. Although they are the children of the leader of the Ax Gang, no one is born a bad person.

Until now, the two of them still don't know that the uncle who often visits their home is the father of their siblings.

The two just felt that the uncle of the gang leader was not as bad as those people outside said, at least he was very good to both of them.

The two of them grew up with the fourth master and were dragged by the fourth master to study culture. Both of them have good conduct.

An He is a quiet girl who has inherited her mother's genes and is not bad at learning culture.I usually like to play with some flowers and plants, read books and so on.

Anping doesn't like studying culture. He has the personality of most boys, and he likes to dance with knives and sticks.

After knowing that his teacher is the master of the Ax Gang, he wholeheartedly wanted to go to the Ax Gang to mess around in the rivers and lakes, and be a character like Guan Erye and Wu Erlang written in the book.

Looking at the two of them, the conversation with the leader during the day came out of fourth master's heart again.

What kind of person the gang leader is, Si Ye dare not say that he must be sure.

For tycoons like Feng Jingyao and Lin Zirong, whoever dares to say can definitely see what the other party is thinking?

If such people were so easy to see through their minds, then they would not have achieved what they are today.

Anping is 13 years old now, and the gang leader is 67 years old. Judging by his frame, it should not be a big problem to live for five or six years with ease.

At that time, Anping was already eighteen or nineteen years old, so he was a little young, but if he really wanted to take over the Ax Gang, he wouldn't have to!

Moreover, the leader asked the two to recognize him as foster father and let them grow up in front of him. If Anping really takes over the position of leader, can he really continue to be an idle teacher?

Although it is not his own, but he grew up in front of him since he was a child, and gets along with him day and night, how different is this from his own.

Fourth master picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if tasting tea, closed his eyes and shook his head gently.

Regarding the deaths of the second and fourth children of the ax gang back then, the fourth master has always had a faint doubt in his heart.

Behind the death of both of them is the figure of the youngest Song Wenhong.

Fourth Master used to suspect that it was Song Wenhong who killed the two of them, but in the past two years, the person he suspected gradually changed from Song Wenhong to Lin Zirong.

With Song Wenhong's personality, it is true that he can kill the second and fourth child.

But it's impossible for him to be safe and sound after a murderous attack, and for no conflicts to break out within the gang.

The second child and the fourth child are not alone in the gang, and they have many cronies.How can it be possible for people to die when they die and do nothing!
When the two were still alive, both Zheng Hu and Song Wenhong were crushed by them.

Not to mention the strange death of these two people, the most important thing is that the gang's reaction afterwards was not right.

Compared with the guess that the two were killed by Song Wenhong's black hands, Fourth Master is more willing to believe that behind these things there is a pair of invisible hands controlling everything.

And this pair of invisible big hands should have appeared only a year or two after Anping and Anhe gave birth successfully.

"Anping, do you really want to join the Ax Gang?" Fourth Master asked suddenly.

"I want to, of course I want to!" Anping was a little excited, he thought the teacher had changed his mind.

"Then keep thinking about it." Fourth master shook his head.

Looking at Anping's slumped face, he said, "The Ax Gang is not as good as you imagined. Do you know what the Ax Gang does? Do you know what people in Shanghai think of the Ax Gang behind their backs?" ?"

"Look at it however you like outside! I only know that you are a good person, teacher!" An Ping kissed and flattered him quietly.

He smiled and said: "Teacher, as the fourth master of the Ax Gang, you are so good, no matter how bad the Ax Gang is, it won't be so bad."

Fourth Master shook his head when he heard this, the boy is so naive!

Although Anping may be a little clever occasionally, he is not a person who will lie.

Although his words sounded a bit like flattery, it also showed that he really thought so.

With such a naive mind, even if the leader really paved the way for him, would he really be able to take that seat?

"You are not suitable for joining the Ax Gang, you should study hard with your sister." Fourth Master shook his head and said.

In the past, Fourth Master still said that he would consider it, but today he directly said that it was inappropriate.

Anping's eyes widened suddenly, not understanding why the teacher suddenly changed his mind.

An He was listening to the conversation between the two, with a faint smile on his lips.

At this moment, the smile appeared a little more brisk. She had heard a lot of rumors about the Ax Gang outside. Although she didn't know the truth or falsehood, she was not as naive as her silly brother.

People in this age are relatively precocious. Although she is only 13 years old, she has been studying with the teacher all the year round. Regardless of whether it is something that should be understood at this age, she knows a little bit.

She also didn't want her younger brother, who was born on the same day of the same year, to work for the Axe Gang.

If the Ax Gang is really that good, how could the teacher not care about the Ax Gang!

"Okay, the teacher has said it all, so you should give up on it." An He said who hadn't said much.

When facing the teacher and Miss Xiaohuan, An He's tone was very gentle, but when talking to her younger brother, she seemed less gentle.

"Go, go up and practice calligraphy. You haven't finished copying calligraphy today, so you won't be allowed to sleep until you finish copying." Both are 13 years old, but An He is showing the air of a big sister at this moment.

It's strange to say that Anping is not afraid of fourth master who is a teacher and adoptive father, but is especially afraid of this elder sister of the same age.

He wanted to sell it badly, but when he saw the smile on An He's face gradually disappearing, he immediately put aside his bargaining thoughts, and honestly followed this sister upstairs together.

While walking, he was stroking the back of his head, his eyeballs rolling around.

Although the teacher said that he was not suitable for joining the Axe Gang, and even though his sister said that he had killed himself, it was obvious that he still had his own little plans in mind.

Which boy, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, doesn't aspire to be the boss, and doesn't aspire to be followed by a group of younger brothers?

The two siblings went upstairs, Xiaohuan also went to work, only fourth master was left in the living room.

Lying back on the sofa, he thought that Anping wanted to join the Axe Gang wholeheartedly, and then thought that the gang leader might be sweeping away Anping's hidden dangers in the gang.

Fourth Master couldn't help but shook his head again.

Sure enough, they are father and son.

Although the young one is not as powerful as the old one, it is not a worry.

PS: I got motion sickness today. When I woke up in the afternoon, I suddenly felt that my roommate was playing games very loudly. I simply carried my bag and suitcase and went home. As a result, I was so dizzy that I almost lost my head due to motion sickness.I got home and had dinner and started to write, but a roommate came to help me with the homework in the middle, and I wasted my time, but fortunately, it was sent out in the last minute.
