Life is a process in which the more you live, the more scared you become.
As people grow older, they will believe more and more in talent, luck, and things that seem illusory but actually exist.
Just like at Lao Qiao's place, I was convinced.
Beside a small river on the edge of the village, Lao Qiao wore a straw hat and felt the shade of the trees and the coolness of the autumn wind. He held a fishing rod in his hand and casually dropped the fishing line into the river.
I squatted by the river and saw that the biggest fish in the river was only the size of a palm, and it didn't even bite Lao Qiao's hook.
But when Lao Qiao brought me out this time, he just said: "Little mute, let's go, I'll take you out to play." Then he put the fish basket into my hand, swayed around with his hands behind his back and his straw hat. Walked out of the village.
I knew that he wanted me to relax my overly nervous mood so that the big boss wouldn't miss the point when he called me again.
But I don't know if such a big man has ever considered his own safety when he wanders out. He seems to have never been afraid of someone assassinating him.
"What are you thinking about?"
On the bank of the river, when Old Qiao saw that he had not caught any fish, he turned to chat with me.
I simply sat down on the ground, looked at Lao Qiao and said, "How about you and I decide what to do and let me die happily?"
Lao Qiao looked at me in confusion: "Who said I wanted to kill you?"
"I just got in with you, don't you hate me?"
Old Qiao shook his head and said: "I hated you from the first moment I saw you in the village. At that time, I thought about two things. The first one was whether there might be something wrong with the people around me; The second thing is the reason why you came to me."
"But an hour later, when I knew the whole story, I realized that this was impossible."
"Whether you entered the village or came to me after escaping into the mountains, it couldn't have been intentional. After all, it was too much of a coincidence."
"Then, naturally there is no possibility that the guy in the park will send you to me as an undercover agent."
"In other words, your appearance is nothing more than trying to escape, nothing more."
"Then why should I kill you? You didn't intend to hurt me."
I looked at Lao Qiao and blinked, half-believing what he said.
He then changed the subject: "But, it's different now. You know too much. You watched me kill all the drug lords in Menneng, and watched me produce 90% pure ice." , and you still see me failing to catch fish, that’s not okay.”
I knew it!
No, what does it mean to be unable to catch fish?
I saw you would die if you couldn’t catch anything while fishing?
Lao Qiao looked at me very seriously. I couldn't even see his expression, but he actually smiled happily like a child.
Then he pointed to the ripples in the water and said, "See for yourself."
I turned my head and saw myself in the water with one eyebrow down and one eyebrow raised, with a face full of disbelief... Only then did I realize that Lao Qiao was teasing me.
But another danger signal came over. He was as happy now as he was when he had a pet.
This old bastard seems to treat me as a pet!
"I'm old."
When the smile faded, Lao Qiao finally spoke the truth.
"We have reached the most dangerous time in our lives."
"Go and look at the rising stars in the Golden Triangle. They are just teenagers and dare to kill people with guns."
"You dare to carve out a piece of the world in your early twenties and become the grass-headed king yourself."
"Many of my old friends were killed inexplicably by gunmen who suddenly appeared on the streets. I even arrested a few of them. Do you know what those children said to me?"
"They said they also want to stand out and be majestic!"
Old Qiao turned his head, looked at me without any pretense and said, "That's why I'm so murderous!"
"I have been winning all my life. Kunsha is so powerful that we were defeated. How could I fall into the hands of those stupid boys?"
"Hey, Xu Ruifeng, do you know how to do this?"
I thought about it seriously: "You have to climb high enough to make these people tremble when they see you and make them feel that they are not worthy of you at all."
Lao Qiao waved his hand at me disdainfully, and then turned his head to the side.
"You, at best, are at the second-rate level."
To be honest, he said this too much.
"You've climbed high enough in your mouth, aren't you still in the Jianghu?"
"As long as you are in this quagmire, those words in your mouth will never come true!"
"There is only one way to achieve this."
"That is to build a normal society, make them feel that whatever they are fighting for is not worth it, and instill 'morality' and 'law' in their hearts, so that the entire Meneng, and even the entire Wa State, will become more and more civilized. specification."
"Just like Mr. Big Bao wants."
"This way, we, the people, can survive."
them……
them……
Their construction and change of the entire Wa State is not to change the lives of the people at the bottom, but to instill these things into the hearts of the people and destroy the danger of the entire world so that they can survive!
The reason why they established a political power and wanted it to be stable was because they were afraid of death.
I suddenly understood why there was so much filth under this regime and why filth could hide here.
"But can this thing be changed in one day?"
"Certainly not."
"Who doesn't know that poison is bad? But without him, what do you want me to do to support the army?"
"Do you know how many bags of pig feed these green soldiers get in a day even if they eat pig food?"
"Do you know what will happen if you don't feed them for a day?"
Lao Qiao snorted coldly: "You guys still call me a devil. Is there a real devil sitting here so blatantly?"
"The real devils are like those in the park. They just make a few phone calls and make the defrauded people fascinated. We still have to sell fucking drugs and trade our lives for money. Who is the devil?"
Lao Qiao seemed to have confused himself. When he started talking, he had a set of rules, but in the end, his words turned into the purest complaints. He started complaining that drug trafficking is more dangerous than fraud, and it is not necessarily possible to make money through fraud.
I suddenly remembered what the cook and the officer had said. Could it be that he had really guessed what Lao Qiao was thinking?
This old boy introduced the fraud organization to Meng Neng. In addition to allowing Meng Neng to develop rapidly, he also wants to wait until the day when the fraud revenue completely exceeds that of the village?
"Fishing!"
When Lao Qiao raised the rod, a small fish as thick as his little finger was swinging on the hook. When Lao Qiao took the fish off and put it into the fish basket, he looked at the extremely shabby little fish and finally poured it back. .
It's like a scam. Throw some bait, and when you bite it, it will pierce your cheek directly. It hurts a lot, but it's not fatal;
The fatal thing is the person holding the fishing rod, who takes whatever he wants, whether in life or in death.
