Barking dogs are never the scariest. The truly scary ones are the silent hounds waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The simple-minded and hot-tempered fools cannot catch the eye of Lao Xu at all. They are certainly thorny, but such people often act without plans and only rely on their temper, so it is relatively easy to deal with them.
At the moment, what Lao Xu is most worried about is Ye Hao.
This person doesn't seem to be a threat, he just relies on his words to get things done.
But often such people are the scariest and most threatening guys.
Because it's hard for you to figure out what he's really thinking, and you can stir up some trouble in the station just by telling him what he's saying.
As expected, Ye Hao was as calm as ever. He did not answer Lao Xu's question, but asked back: "Lao Xu, when things have reached this point, we are just fish on the chopping board. What do you want to do? Why go to the trouble of asking my opinion?"
"Oh~, Lao Ye, look at what you said, don't you have any ideas in your mind about what to do with you?"
"Haha, do you have any ideas? Are my ideas useful?"
"Whether it's useful...you can tell me and listen."
"OK, my idea is that you let us go and everyone goes their own way. Can you agree?" Shaking his head, Ye Hao put on a bored expression.
Lao Xu was not angry when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and then gently put it down: "I'm afraid I won't be able to let you go."
"Humph! Really? So why do you have to make us happy? It's in your hands now. You can do whatever you want."
"Lao Ye, why are you in such a hurry? This is not like you. I haven't finished what I said. I won't let you go because you have gone out without food or drink, so your chances of survival are low. I will discuss it with Lao Lin After that, I plan to keep you."
As soon as these words came out, not only Ye Hao but also Hu Xiaodong and others in the room were stunned.
After coming back to his senses, Wenquan Xin was the first to jump out and retort: "Old Xu! What did you say!? Leave them behind? Are you kidding me?"
Wenquan Xin started here. The remaining team members immediately echoed the outraged one one after another.
"Lao Xu, Lao Lin, how could you leave them behind?"
"No, no! If these people stay, it will be a disaster. We must not stay!"
"Old Xu. I don't know what you are thinking, but how can their character be allowed to stay in the village!?"
Without saying a word, the situation on the field was completely as expected by Lao Xu.
He was waiting for that person to speak.
Sure enough, one of our own team members finished venting their anger. Ye Hao finally spoke out as the representative of the other party.
"Old Xu, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"What does it mean? It means vernacular! Why, Lao Ye can't even understand vernacular."
"Lao Xu, we have already fallen into your hands. Is it interesting to still play this kind of teasing trick?"
"You think I'm teasing you?"
"Is not it?"
Back and forth, Lao Xu and Lao Ye were like the two opposing parties in a spy drama, testing each other's tone.
Finally, the rude man next to him couldn't stand it any longer. He would not let Ye Hao ruin this rare chance of survival.
"Hey! Ye Hao, what are you talking about!? If you want to die, just say so. My brothers won't stop you. But don't mess with your brothers' livelihood."
"That's right! Lao Xu, is it reliable to leave us in the camp as you said? If it is reliable, we have no objection."
A pig's brain is always a pig's brain. Listening to the idiotic words of his two men, Ye Hao really had the urge to slap them to death with his shoe.
When someone gives you a way to live, you still ask whether they are reliable, but you have no opinion...your opinion is of no use.
Lao Xu still ignored the words of the two men. For such a tolerant person, he admired Ye Hao's calmness in the face of danger.
"Lao Ye, do you hear that? Your brother seems to have different ideas from you? Why don't you give yourself a chance? Or are you really living enough that you want to die?"
"Haha! Lao Xu, we are all smart people. There is no need to beat around the bush. Frankly speaking, I don't think you will be so kind as to let us go."
"Oh? Why? Why do you think we won't be kind enough to let you go?"
"Do you even need to ask? Look at our current situation? Haha. Isn't it obvious at a glance?"
Glancing at the man tied up with a rope, Ye Hao smiled meaningfully.
"Ah! Just because of this, Lao Lin, help those two brothers untie the rope."
"OK!"
While talking, Lin Junfu walked up to the two Han men and pulled out the dagger in his hand. After some rubbing, the hemp rope around the man's wrist was cut.
The man who was able to escape said gratefully. Lao Xu took the tea cup and poured the hot tea for each of them. Then he turned his eyes to Ye Hao and said, "What do you say now?"
Ye Hao didn't look at the faces of the two Han slaves who were "crying and crying" and fell to their knees. He knew very well that there would never be any pie-in-the-sky in the last days.
We had previously intended to use deceptive means to obtain material supplies from the other party, and blocked people's doorsteps with heavy weapons. Just these two items alone are enough to kill any survivor stationed there.
Therefore, now that Xu Renjie said that he wanted to keep them in the village, Ye Hao couldn't believe it.
But no matter how calm he is, he is still a human being, and as long as he is a human being, he will cherish his life.
This is especially true for scammers. After a brief deliberation, Ye Hao replied calmly: "You are willing to keep us, of course we have no objection. But I want to know why?"
Old Xu melodiously sighed: "Yes, why, I think you are not the only one here, my brother also wants to know. I want to say that we are human beings and should help each other, but this is too false. So to tell you the truth, I keep you because our village is in the stage of development and needs manpower. It is for this reason that Lao Lin and I decided to keep you."
"Aren't you afraid that we will cause trouble? Don't forget that we had a plot against you before."
Hearing what Ye Hao said, Lao Xu gave a rare smile: "Haha, I'm afraid! Of course I'm afraid! How could I not be afraid! But I think Lao Ye and all the brothers here are smart people, and you are cheating out there just to make a living. But now, if you stay with us, you don't have to travel around. You have three meals a day. As for what happened before, humph, you didn't cause any real harm to us. As Lao Ye said, you are also here for Life has to do with you, right? In that case, why not put aside your prejudices, join us, and develop the village with us?"
I have to say that what Lao Xu said was so euphemistic and pleasant. The whole text is a chicken soup article for the soul. It simply portrays himself, Lao Lin and others into the image of a saint who does not stick to trivial matters. (To be continued.)
