The real past of Jianghu: Canglang Underworld

Chapter 28
Ma Wenge said: "To tell you the truth, I have met so many people. The only one I respect and think is better than me is Hu Zhijun. He is not an ordinary person whether it is his conduct or courage. Although I am not absolutely sure about moving him, I still have a little bit of confidence in my heart. He never asks for help when he encounters anything, but when others ask him, he almost responds to his request. I never ask others for help when I am in prison. , so he also thinks highly of me. The first time I met Zhao Yi, I begged him to let him come to support me. Give it a face.

The pole is always wondering whether it is worthwhile for them to do this for an outdated old Jianghu. Even if he can play well with Monk Wu Luscar Jin and bring his brothers well, will he play them both in the future? .

Regarding this point, Ma Wenge also thought about it. First, he trusted Hu Zhijun, who was absolutely loyal and trustworthy. Second, compared to those people who were on the road and had complicated relationships, Hu Zhijun was the simplest. With his own power, it is safest to entrust the brothers to him. With his sophisticated way of dealing with people, no accidents will happen to the brothers, and the team will not disperse.

Ganzi was finally persuaded by Ma Wenge. At present, it would be best if someone could replace him, so he decided to leave after dinner.

Ma Wenge and his party returned to Hansha and rushed to Xixia Street, it was already past ten in the middle of the night.

This Xixia Street is also a century-old street. Almost every household has people in jail and is famous for Hansha. The residents on the street are very sensitive to outsiders. As long as an outsider passes by the street, the residents will soon know who the other party is. Which household to go to, who is the guest, and what is the job of the other party?

Therefore, when Ma Wenge and the others arrived, even though the street lights on the small street were dimmed, before they reached Hu Zhijun’s house, a woman saw Ma Wenge and shouted at the door of Hu’s house: “Old Hu, a friend is here.” I'm looking for you."

When they reached the door, the courtyard door was already open. Hu Zhijun stretched out half of his face illuminated by the street lamp. Seeing Ma Wenge, Hu Zhijun opened two wooden doors to let the four of them enter the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.

When the four of them entered the main room, Hu Zhijun turned on the headlights and asked them to sit in the bedroom, because on the desk in the main room was the portrait of his mother who had just passed away, outsiders would feel a little uncomfortable in this dark room .

As soon as Ma Wenge and the others sat down, Hu Zhijun took out a bottle of white wine, a plate of peanuts, and four small wine glasses, and told Ma Wenge that this Yanghe Daqu was given to him by the boss of the construction site, and he had never been willing to drink it. He knew that Ma Wenge would come to find him sooner or later, so he specially kept it for him.He poured a full cup for one person, and said to Jiazi apologetically, "I never come to women here, so I don't have anything to entertain you. I'm so sorry!"

Jiazi didn't expect him to be so polite, so she hurriedly said, "It's okay, Brother Hu, you're welcome."

Picking up his wine glass, Ma Wenge asked, "How did the woman who was collecting clothes on the street just now know that we are looking for you?"

"That's not easy. Although the three of them have never been here before, this is the second time you have visited the door in the past few months. Let alone two months, even after three or five years, you will know that you are here. Those who are looking for are all relatives of the robbers, how can they not have poisonous eyes."

Several people were amused by Hu Zhijun's words. Hu Zhijun respected everyone first, finished a drink by himself, and said to Ma Wenge: "Welcome, you can often come to drink with me. You have to be sneaky when you drink in the labor camp. I'm afraid The cadres caught it, how can I see such good wine, now that the society has returned to freedom, and I can drink as much as I want, so I want to declare in advance that I will never do anything illegal. This is my principle. For the rest of my life, I never plan to go to that ghostly place of prison. I hope you can respect my choice and don’t drag me into the underworld. I want to be a good citizen who knows the law and abides by the law. Come and drink. I welcome you at any time, no matter how poor I am. I won't give you cheap wine either."

Hu Zhijun's opening seems to have blocked Ma Wenge's mouth. Ganzi immediately lost interest in the wine and began to look around, planning for Ma Wenge to leave early and leave early.

Ma Wenge smiled and was not in a hurry. He respected Hu Zhijun and said with a smile, "When you opened your mouth, you blocked everything I wanted to say. It seems that you know why I am looking for you today."

"I don't know!" Hu Zhijun put down his wine glass and waved his hands, and said, "I don't want to know either. I'm only interested in wine now. When my mother was around, I didn't dare to drink it casually. Now I'm sending my mother away, and I'm done with it." I have nothing to worry about." Having said this, he turned to the pole and said to the two of them, "Come on, these two little brothers, take another sip."

In order not to break the politeness, the pole made a casual gesture, and Ma Wenge told them to drink it all, poured another glass, and then said to Hu Zhijun: "This catty of wine is gone, and I am very drunk now, should I take two more bottles? If you don't have it, I'll let my pony go buy it."

"No! I have plenty of wine here." After speaking, he turned and walked out of the bedroom to get the wine.

Ma Wenge took advantage of him to go out to signal the pole and the brothers not to worry, and drank desperately. If they don't drink down today, they won't solve the problem.

Hu Zhijun brought two bottles of Shuanggou Daqu. Although the wine was good, I was sorry to let everyone drink miscellaneous drinks. Ma Wenge said it didn't matter, as long as there was wine, he asked everyone to toast Hu Zhijun three times. Hu Zhijun immediately said: " It seems that you, Ma Cultural Revolutionary, are going to fight me hard today!"

Ma Wenge drank another cup and said, "Then what can I do, I, Ma Wenge, came to the door today and wanted to ask you for help, but you gagged me as soon as you opened my mouth. I don't drink, what else can I do? "

While the two were talking, an old woman from a neighbor opened the courtyard door and went directly into Hu Zhijun's bedroom. She looked at a few people who had almost drunk, and said to Hu Zhijun, "Don't let them get drunk", and then Said to Ma Wenge: "Zhijun has been in prison for 20 years. He just came back and sent his mother away. I know that you are friends in the prison. Don't drag him into other ways. He can't compare with you. , He also has a daughter who is studying in college, if he doesn't take the right path, I'm afraid his daughter won't recognize him, and he won't even have a prison meal."

The old woman talked a lot, and Hu Zhijun repeatedly assured her that he would not go astray, and this time he was just here for a drink and a chat.The old woman told her to drink less and not to get drunk before leaving.

After the old man left, Hu Zhijun said that the old lady was an old neighbor of his family, and the relationship between the two families had always been very good, so he was very concerned about him.

Ma Wenge heard for the first time that Hu Zhijun had a daughter today, and asked him why he had never heard of it. It seemed that no one knew that he had a daughter in the labor camp.

Speaking of his daughter, Hu Zhijun's eyes became moist without realizing it.Because he didn't intend to get married at that time, and he was arrested after a severe crackdown. Her mother was pregnant and married someone else and gave birth to her.After he was released from prison, he wanted to see his daughter. Her mother refused, saying that they would let their father and daughter meet after her daughter got married. She didn't want her to know that her father was a prisoner released from labor camp before marriage.

Hearing Hu Zhijun's story, Ma Wenge sighed and said: "Everyone has their own difficulties. I didn't expect you to be in such pain. No wonder you drink all the time. Unlike you, I don't give up now and still think about it." Try again, if I lose, the result may be worse than you, you have a daughter, if I move my head one day, I will lose everything."

Jiazi, who had been silent all this time, snuggled up to Ma Wenge's side and said: "I didn't expect you to be so sad in your heart. I always thought that you are a very conceited person. Don't worry, no matter what happens to you in the future, I will give If you give birth to one, even if you are sentenced to death with reprieve or death sentence like Brother Hu, I will give birth to your child like Brother Hu's girlfriend.

Jiazi's words were so touching that even the pole was moved. Ma Wenge seemed to feel Jiazi's warmth, and put his arms around her waist and said, "With your words, I will never forget them in this lifetime." Then , and said to Hu Zhijun: "I don't want to be so miserable. If I have a daughter in the future, I must look like a human being, so that she can be proud of having a father like me. Even if I am a gangster boss, so what , modern people laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes, as long as I have money to support her to go to college, let her eat well and use well, and I can also send her to study abroad and give her a car, will she despise my father who is a gangster? I am not as proud of me. I feel now that I am not far from success. I have seen hope. As long as I can successfully overcome the difficulties in front of me, I have already succeeded in half. Otherwise, I will have to Start working hard from the beginning, and at that point, the difficulties you face will be doubled, and there will be fewer choices, so I am only begging you now, I really need someone to help me at this critical moment."

Hu Zhijun was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked Ma Wenge, "How can I help you now?"

"It's very simple!" Ma Wenge said, "I'm running a counter-revolutionary right now. I have more than 30 brothers and no one at the helm. I don't need you to do anything for me. As long as you go to the Haima Bathing Center, where I am running a counter-revolutionary For a while, help me lead my brothers well, so that no major incidents will happen, and they will not be used by others."

Hu Zhijun lit a cigarette for himself, and then said: "If you think that I am still useful at such an age, then I will do my best to try it out. Don't place too much hope on me."

Hu Zhijun finally let go, and Ma Wenge seemed to have found a savior, and said excitedly: "With your words, I can rest assured. I have [-]% trust in you. You are a hundred times better than me when calling these bulls to fight ghosts. Even those ghosts and monsters in the labor reform team, who are indiscriminate, are respectful when they see you, these brothers of mine are much simpler than them, and they are much easier to lead."

Hu Zhijun is very clear about his ability, he has no real ability, he can convince the crowd, it is just the result of the praise of the crowd, if no one gives face, he is nothing.

The four of them chatted more and more because they drank alcohol. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiazi guessed that Juzi was going to get off work, so she went to pick up Juzi. Hu Zhijun asked Ma Wenge's little brother to go with him in the main room Shop, give two rooms to two couples.On the second day, after ten o'clock in the morning, everyone woke up one after another. After they finished washing their faces, Hu Zhijun had already prepared breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, Ma Wenge asked his brothers to go back to Haima first, and told them that they would have drinks today, without telling everyone who was treating them and where they were, and then reserved a private room at Xiangyuan Restaurant, and waited for Ma Wenge and the others to arrive. , and then inform the brothers to come over.

Ma Wenge originally arranged for Hu Zhijun to be the acting boss, but Hu Zhijun told him not to make such an arrangement, but just tell his brothers.He, Hu Zhijun, was his fellow reformer. Because he was old and couldn't find a job, he wanted to have a meal with his brothers, so he just asked everyone to take care of him.Whether the brothers can be tied together has nothing to do with the boss and the second. The key lies in the way people behave and whether they can be recognized by the brothers. Only when they are recognized by everyone can they exert influence. Therefore, Hu Zhijun will work hard to be with the brothers. We have a good relationship.

After everything was arranged, Ma Wenge set off.
