20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 98 The old demon comes out of the cave
At the same time, Xiaoxiguan Street, Juxiang Building.

The sign board on the door beam is no longer as bright and bright as it was a few months ago after a winter.

This is often the case for restaurants. In the first few days after they open, neighbors, relatives and friends in the street will flock to support or try something new. But when the novelty wears off, it's time to discard the fake and keep the real, and see the real thing.

The dishes at "Juxianglou" are really good and have stood the test. After the novelty wears off, the restaurant is still always packed with seats.

Tonight, although there were many diners in the store, it seemed a bit deserted compared to usual.

If you want to know the truth, it's just that the passers-by were attracted by the two bustling places.

On Siping Street, the eldest son of the Bai family is making a big fuss in "Huifangli". It's not enough for "Ebi Owl" and "Chuan'erhong" to be in charge, and even Wang Guandai of the patrol camp is involved - is it lively or not?
On Xiaoxiguan Street, several more gunshots were suddenly heard in the "Woyun Building", which attracted a group of patrol officers to arrest people for investigation - is it hot or not?
The people on the street have been hooked for a long time. They have been doing nothing in the past. How can they still have time to eat?

Although the existing customers in the store were reluctant to run out to join in the fun because the banquet was still going on, they were still chatting and eating around these two places while holding cups and glasses.

Not to mention, there were pedestrians coming and going, coming to the door and passing a few lies as the latest developments in the situation.

All of a sudden, the diners were all chattering, which was quite a bit of chatter!

Some people, who think they are farsighted, cannot help but brag about themselves.

"Look, let me tell you! As soon as Mr. Xu leaves, Zhou Yunfu and Bai Baochen will definitely take action. How about it? Is it true? Brothers, let's say - is it true?"

There are always some idle people who love to praise stinky feet and immediately follow suit.

"Oops! Something happened to both 'Huifangli' and 'Woyunlou'! Look! Zhou Yunfu's situation is over and he really can't stand up anymore!"

The timid one reminded: "Don't say that, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! If Zhou Yunfu can't rectify Bai Baochen, can't he rectify us? It's better to say less!"

Some people were stunned and said: "What are you afraid of? The old Zhou family and the old Bai family have been feuding for many years. Have you forgotten how Bai Baochen's youngest son died? Now that the Bai family is in power, can Zhou Yunfu be alive?"

Some people who thought they were accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze said: "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river! Even if Bai Baochen doesn't defeat Zhou Yunfu, I don't think he has a few more years to live. Pointing at his nephew? Make a fuss!"

Some people who thought they were well-informed said, "Who can say otherwise! When things were fine before, I could still see Zhou Yunfu on the street, but starting from the Gengzi Year, this old man has disappeared at all!"

"I heard that he stays with his nephew in Woyun Tower every day!"

"Ah? If that's the case, the person who died in Woyun Tower just now couldn't be——"

"No! Don't talk nonsense! I just came over there, and it was two young people who died! Oh, by the way, do you know Guan Wei and Gong Baonan?"

"Sounds familiar, the two brothers at the end of 'Owl', right?"

"It's the two of them who were taken away by the patrol just now!"

"That's it. It seems that Zhou Yunfu is really going to burp this time."

Everyone had their own opinions, and while they were discussing, they didn't expect——

Suddenly, there was a "rumbling" sound like muffled thunderous footsteps outside the door, from far to near, with the force of a torrent breaking through a dike, as if the entire "Juxiang Tower" was about to be flattened.

The diners were immediately frightened, and in surprise, they rushed to look at the door.

It doesn't matter what this looks like, everyone is shocked!
The person who came outside the door was none other than Zhou Yunfu!
The weather was obviously very warm, but the old man was dressed in autumn clothes and a melon skin hat, covering himself tightly from head to toe.

Han Ce, who was beside him, respectfully helped his uncle cross the threshold and walked into the house.

Just the entourage who followed the two of them into the house, at a glance, there were no less than ten people - a group of black clothes and black trousers, with a straight collar, and a circle of white stockings exposed around the ankles.

That's not all yet. Looking at the people standing outside the door, there are at least fifty or sixty thugs standing there with their backs to the door.

The lazy dragon shakes its armor and the tiger bares its teeth!

As soon as Mr. Xu left, the old demon Zhou Yunfu came out of the cave, which is called pressing on the ground - to show everyone who the father is!

Seeing this situation, those who had spoken with certainty just now and concluded that the old man was dead, of course immediately shut up.

Shopkeeper Chen from "Juxianglou" quickly walked around the counter and bowed to greet him.

"Oh! Mr. Zhou, why are you in such a good mood today? Why are you going out for a walk?"

Zhou Yunfu hunched his back and stretched his neck forward, scanning the crowd like a vulture.

Everything they saw was as cold as frost, and everyone unconsciously avoided those sinister eyes.The old man chuckled, and then a hoarse voice came out of his throat.

"My body and bones are not good. If I don't go out and exercise, what's the point? If I continue to be bored, some people may think I'm dead!"

"Old man, you are joking again! When I am your age, I will be satisfied if I can be half as energetic as you!" Shopkeeper Chen flattered, "Shunzi, go upstairs quickly and open a private room for Mr. Zhou!"

"No need, no need."

Zhou Yunfu waved his hand, pointed to a big table at the end of the lobby, and said, "Let's eat here! I haven't been out for a long time, and I am busy with everyone. There are many people here, so I won't disturb you, right?"

Look what you asked!

Everyone said: I said excuse me, should you go or should I go?
As a result, everyone stood up, clasped their fists, and moved Zhou Yunfu to the table, where he sat down tremblingly.

As soon as he sat down, there was a follower over there, taking the opportunity to come over and get close to him.

"Shopkeeper Chen, pick the best wine and food and set a table for Mr. Zhou!" After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Yunfu and said, "Old man, the business on my cabinet was thanks to your care. Today you must sell me a To save face, let me treat you to this meal.”

"Hey! That can't be done! Shopkeeper Liu, please wait a moment. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"Go, go, I'll be the one to do it today!"

After arguing for a long time, shopkeeper Chen finally stepped forward and said, "Everyone, there are so many restaurants and restaurants in the city, but Mr. Zhou picked me, Juxianglou, because he is treating me like a human being! I am the boss. Today, No one can argue with me, it’s my treat!”

The boss spoke and everyone gave up.

Zhou Yunfu grinned and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

To outsiders, the old man looked normal, but in fact the lining of his back was already wet.

Not because of the heat, but because of the noise around him, which made his heart tremble and feel uncomfortable.

But even so, Zhou Yunfu still gritted his teeth and tried hard to maintain a calm and comfortable expression, making it difficult for people to notice.

Seeing that they couldn't get a chance to pay the bill, everyone picked up their wine glasses, came forward, and offered a toast as if to please.

Although Zhou Yunfu is old and usually looks like a sick man, when faced with a group of old and young men, he can still accurately call out everyone's name and their respective livelihoods. He only agreed one by one, but never said anything. He moved his chopsticks but didn't even take a sip of the wine.

The young thugs he brought also silently formed a circle and stood behind the old man without sitting down.

After all the respectable people had toasted, Han Ce, who was beside him, suddenly took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, then leaned down and whispered: "Uncle, it's almost time!"

Zhou Yunfu already had a splitting headache from the noise. Hearing this, he felt as if he was receiving an amnesty, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Hel me back quickly."

Han Ce didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly helped his uncle up and ran straight to the door - he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Which song is this sung?
Are we all here together just to show our faces?

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. Just when they were about to get up to see each other off, they suddenly heard the din of gongs "ding-dong-wu-four" outside the door!

"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"

Immediately afterwards, someone was heard shouting: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"Shui will do it! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Looking out along the doorframe, I saw a dozen young men in green cloth coats pushing a heavy waterwheel together. The gong in front opened the way, and those behind were either holding water hoses or shouldering ladders, and followed the big waterwheel. Liu rushed forward, making a noisy mess and just screaming wildly.

If someone in trouble on the street asks, where is the fire?

Then someone replied: "Baoguo Match Factory! Baoguo Match Factory is on fire!"
