Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 60: Fuck with me (two in one, please read it)

Zhu Chuanren took no one with him and walked towards the tavern alone. He didn't know if Lao Guozi was scared away. The gunfire just now was very scary.

When he arrived at the tavern, the wooden door was closed tightly. Zhu Chuanren stepped forward, patted it twice, and shouted inside:
"Old Guozi, my old friend is here, why don't you open the door?"

There was no movement. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Zhu Chuanren frowned slightly. Could it be that Lao Guozi ran away?
No, even if you run away, you shouldn't close the door and run. When you are in a panic, no one will remember to close the door or even lock the door.

What's more, Lao Guozi should be confident in his skills. Anyone can run away, but he shouldn't be able to run away.

At this thought, Zhu Chuanren knocked on the door harder and shouted at the same time:

"I know you are inside, please open the door. There are some things we should talk about. Do you remember that dark night?"

The next second, there was movement in the courtyard. After a while, the wooden door opened with a sour creak, revealing Old Guozi's gloomy face.

Zhu Chuanren waved his hand at him, his eyes were playful and provocative, and he said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, how are you?"

"I never thought you would come back." Lao Guozi's voice was harsh, as if his throat had barbs.

"There are so many things that you didn't expect. Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Old Guozi gave way:

"Please~"

"Thank you~" Zhu Chuanren was very polite.

But he hadn't even taken two steps in when a strong wind hit behind his head.

Fortunately, Zhu Chuanren had already guarded against this move. He quickly bent over and at the same time pushed the ground with the forefoot of his right foot, jumping back in a movement similar to the sliding steps of later hip-hop dances.

But Lao Guozi's punch failed, and he fell forward due to inertia. Zhu Chuanren seized the opportunity, exerted force from his waist core, and flew up with a kick, hitting Lao Guozi in the chest.

Pang!With a muffled sound, Lao Guozi flew backwards and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

Zhu Chuanren chuckled and said:
"You are still so insidious."

Without waiting for a reply, he looked stern, raised his left foot high, and smashed Huashan down with one move. If he hit him, he wouldn't be able to get up for half an hour.

But Lao Guozi is not a mortal after all. He had already made a mistake when he acted impulsively. How could he make two mistakes in a row?

He endured the pain and exerted force on his waist. He rolled on the spot like a lazy donkey, followed the inertia and got up, kneeling on one knee.

He put one hand on the ground, his posture was very handsome, but he looked a little embarrassed, covered in dust, with weeds on his head, and his appearance was similar to that of a beggar.

A little trivia, the effects of force are reciprocal. Zhu Chuanren's kick hit the ground just now, causing the soles of his feet to tingle.

But in order to fill the cup, he had to endure it and put his hands on his back like a master. In fact, he almost broke his hands in his hands.

"Zhu Dashan!!!" Lao Guozi's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his back teeth and said viciously.

"Correction, Zhu Dashan is my stage name. My real name is not this. As for what it is called, you will definitely know it when you are qualified to know it."

After Zhu Chuanren finished speaking, he stepped inside, not afraid of Lao Guozi attacking from behind again.

Entering the tavern, the light was dim and seemed a bit gloomy.

The layout was almost the same as when he left. Even the tables, chairs and benches were still the same as before. Zhu Chuanren reached out and touched the scratches on the square table and asked:
"In the past year or so, the business of the tavern seems to be not very good."

Lao Guozi snorted:
"Thanks to you and your father, the proprietress died miserably. Since then, no one dares to come to the tavern."

Zhu Chuanren was unmoved, took a chair and sat down, and asked:
"Is there any wine? Let's have some?"

Lao Guozi frowned:
"I don't want to drink with you."

"You are so stingy."

Zhu Chuanren complained, more like deliberately irritating the other person:

"Is there really no wine?"

"No! There's no business, so why should I make wine?"

"I'm lying. The wine jars in the yard are all clean. It's the result of you wiping them frequently."

Lao Guozi's tone paused and he said impatiently:

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, just meet old friends and have a few drinks, can't you? And don't you have any doubts about me? If you want to know, go get a drink!"

Lao Guozi hesitated again and again and gritted his teeth:

"Wait!"

After sitting for about five minutes, Lao Guozi came over with a wooden tray, two bottles of wine, and two plates of side dishes.

Zhu Chuanren was satisfied:

"That's right, sit down quickly and have a drink together."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a cup for the other party, and then filled himself with wine.

He picked up the wine glass and sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose. The rich aroma of food invaded his nasal cavity, and he nodded slightly:

"It still tastes the same as before."

Lao Guozi remained silent, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Zhu Chuanren looked very dissatisfied:

"waste!"

"Who are you?" Lao Guozi's eyes were not big, but they contained strong murderous intent.

Zhu Chuanren could feel that the other party really wanted to kill him, but he also knew that it would take a lot of effort to kill him, so he resisted and did not do it.

"It doesn't matter what my background is. Tell me about the big black girl. What happened after we left?"

Lao Guozi lowered his head, took another sip of wine, and said in a sad and harsh voice:
"After the Qing soldiers found out that you were leaving, they immediately found the big black girl. Knowing that she deliberately got them drunk, they let you go. If they couldn't catch you, they took out their anger on the big black girl."

Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes. This has almost become his habit:

"go on."

"They arrested the big black girl and tortured her for three days. During the period, she tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but she was stopped by the Qing soldiers after she bit her tongue halfway. Finally, I sneaked in late at night and gave her a good time!"

Zhu Chuanren could imagine the ruthless tactics of the Qing soldiers. For so many years in Lao Jingou, no one had ever transported gold out. They were the first to do so.

If he were the leader of the Qing soldiers, he probably wouldn't let the helper of the big black girl go easily.

"and then?"

"After her death, no one dared to patronize the tavern, and the business plummeted."

"I'm curious, how did you and the big black girl meet?"

Lao Guozi poured himself wine and grinned:

"I was a murderer in the pass, and I escaped all the way here. It was the big black girl who took me in and gave me a mouthful of food. Otherwise, I would have starved to death outside the door."

Zhu Chuanren suddenly realized that this was the case.

"Big black girl said you are also the spy of the bandits on the mountain?"

"Yes and no. When necessary, I will sell them a few messages. Most of the time, we have no contact."

The doubts in Zhu Chuanren's heart were slowly revealed, and he continued to ask:
"Do you have any confidence in Da Jinli's sister?"

Lao Guozi nodded, then shook his head:
"After you left, the big black girl asked me to go to the mountain to rescue her daughter, but the horse racing gang's lair is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. I tried to go up there before but failed.

After receiving her request, I went up the mountain overnight and tried to take the person away in the dark, but I searched their lair and couldn't find anyone.

Over the past year, I have done a lot of research and heard a piece of news that I don’t know whether it is true or not. "

Zhu Chuanren guessed:
"You weren't sold to a brothel, were you?" "How did you know?" Lao Guozi stared at her small eyes and asked in disbelief.

Zhu Chuanren said thoughtfully:
"As you can guess, the bandits kept this little girl unable to do anything, so they might as well sell her to a brothel for some money.

This kind of yellow-haired girl who has not yet left the court can be sold for a lot of money if she has a good foundation.

After the kiln takes over and carefully cultivates it, it may not be impossible to cultivate a generation of oirans. This is the industry chain. "

Lao Guozi didn't understand what the industrial chain was, but Zhu Chuanren's analysis was correct.

"I don't know where that girl was sold. Originally, I wanted to arrest the two beards and interrogate them, but I never found the opportunity."

Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"Leave this matter to me. In the final analysis, we still owe the big black girl our life."

No matter what this woman had done, she did not harm them after all. Instead, she helped them escape. For this reason, Zhu Chuanren had to admit it!

Although he kills people like crazy, he also has a bottom line in his heart, and he clearly distinguishes between right and wrong.

"Do you have a solution?"

"Don't you know what's going on outside?"

Lao Guozi opened his mouth, wanting to say he didn't know, but when he thought about the young man in front of him with a cunning brain like a fox, he didn't dare to tell lies:
"Did you kill all the Qing soldiers?"

"Well, I came prepared this time. From today on, Lao Jingou's surname is Zhu!"

Lao Guozi didn't know what to say, and there were already huge waves in his heart.

At the same time, he looked at Zhu Chuanren with a complicated expression. No one knew what he was thinking.

"I know you hate me and think I killed the big black girl, but if you think about it from another perspective, the reason why the big black girl did this was because of her two sons?"

Lao Guozi was stunned. Obviously, he had never thought of this angle.

"The people who really killed the big black girl were those Qing soldiers. They have been in Lao Jingou for many years. They enjoy the hot food and drink, but they continue to exploit Jin Fu. What I do is equivalent to avenging the big black girl."

Lao Guozi stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Next, I will definitely attack the bandits and completely settle the ownership issue of Lao Jingou. I need your help!"

Zhu Chuanren finally sent an invitation to the other party.

"I'll help you?"

"Well, wouldn't it be a pity if you could only use your skills to make wine?"

Lao Guozi smiled bitterly:
"I am a murderer."

"So what? This is outside the customs. No one knows that you have killed anyone."

"Aren't you curious about who I killed?"

"It doesn't matter. Do I kill more people?"

"of course not!"

"That's fine, but I've never killed a good person, how about you?"

Lao Guozi hesitated for a moment and then said:

"I practice Baguazhang. My hometown is in the Central Plains. I have been dependent on my master and junior sister since I was a child..."

Listening to Lao Guozi telling his story, Zhu Chuanren didn't find it novel at all. He had seen many similar stories.

It was simply that when he went out, the local county magistrate took notice of his little junior sister and kidnapped her.

His master ran to the county government office alone with a knife to fight the county magistrate, but after all, he was old and could not fight with four hands, so he was hacked to death with random knives.

Then Lao Guozi got angry and relied on what he had learned throughout his life to kill the county magistrate and his family. It was that simple.

Zhu Chuanren's problem with Lao Guozi is not a problem. If he were left alone 100 years later, he would not dare to associate with people like Lao Guozi even if he had the guts to do so.

But in this day and age, the competition is about who has a tough head and who has a more ruthless heart. Talents like Lao Guozi with explosive force must be used by him. If not, then he can only...

After telling the story, Lao Guozi lowered his head and trembled all over, obviously recalling his sad past.

"You really don't care about my past?" Lao Guozi seemed to have let go of his hatred for Zhu Chuanren, with some relief in his eyes.

"What I care about is your future. I can reveal to you that Laojingou is just a springboard, and Shanghai Beach is our future!"

Lao Guozi was shocked:
"Are you going to Shanghai?"

"Yes, there are ten miles of foreign trade there, bustling commerce, and complex international relations. If we can establish ourselves there, it will be the pinnacle of life for rough people like us. Don't you want to see what the colorful world is like with me? "

Lao Guozi didn't know what to answer, but it was true that he was moved. Zhu Chuanren's words were too confusing.

"Third Young Master..."

At this time, someone came over to call him outside the tavern yard.

"Come in!" Zhu Chuanren shouted.

After a while, Gou Sheng walked in:

"Third Young Master, Second Young Master asked what should be done next?"

"Has everyone been buried?"

"Yes, dozens of people will do it together, very quickly."

"I know, let's arrange for Jinfu to dig for gold, and I'll go there later."

"Ok!"

The brothers he brought did not know how to dig for gold, but they could still supervise others to dig for gold.

Lao Guozi's expression was complicated. After being interrupted by Gou Sheng, he thought clearly:
"I can follow you, but you must promise me one thing!"

"I will definitely find the big black girl's daughter and give her stability for the rest of her life, as long as she is still alive."

Zhu Chuanren could guess what the other party wanted to say without Lao Guozi's explanation.

Lao Guozi took a deep breath and nodded slowly:

"Okay, from now on, I will live with you."

"Haha, I guarantee you'll enjoy the spicy drink, but don't mess up your brewing skills. Do you mind spreading the word?"

Lao Guozi shook his head:
"It's nothing. If you want to learn, I'll tell you."

"No, I will arrange for someone to learn from you then, and you will definitely get a share of the money I make."

Lao Guozi didn't care about this, he waved his hand casually and said nothing.

...

The familiar Loop and the familiar manhole were the same as they were a year ago. Zhu Chuanren stood by the river with his hands behind his back, watching the gold husbands shake the dustpans in their hands and make a rustling sound.

At this time, Zhu Chuanwu came over and said softly:

"San'er, I took a look just now. There is nothing in this river. It took me a long time to sift out a few golden lumps!"

Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"This area is basically cleaned up, but we can't move it yet. We have to eliminate all the bandits in the surrounding areas before we move."

Zhu Chuanwu knew some inside information. The main purpose of Zhu Chuanren's visit this time was the gold in Wudaogou.

Before setting off, Zhu Kaishan solemnly handed a leather map to Zhu Chuanren. That map was the route map into Wudaogou.

After so many years, I don’t know if that path is still feasible.

We have to fight no matter what, but we don’t know how many people will die.
