After thinking about the whole thing, shopkeeper Lu believed that if Dashan provoked Zhou Ming with these stupid words, he would definitely be punished by Zhou Ming. With this thought in his mind, he showed a smile, then hugged his shoulders and felt calm. Get ready to watch a good show.
The strong men who had just escaped from danger were still immersed in joy. After they thanked Zhou Ming for his great kindness, they began to look back one after another and observed the situation around them. They found that after being restrained, the young men still did not retreat. This made them all very angry, so under the leadership of the leader, they formed a neat formation and planned to leave among these little guys and go to a safe place.
But their team had just been formed, and before they had time to move out, a huge shadow shrouded their heads again. They heard Dashan's menacing threat to Zhou Ming, telling him not to meddle in other people's business, and even though his words It was hard to say, but they had to admit that those words made sense.
These strong men themselves have nothing to do with Zhou Ming. Not only are they not related to each other, but they have also done very bad things before and offended Zhou Ming. If Zhou Ming had not been so capable, he might have already Died in the bank.
Dashan knew the weaknesses of human nature very well. When he threatened Zhou Ming, he deliberately told all these things. The purpose was to scare Zhou Ming and remind him not to forget what these strong men are. Damn, it's not worth it for him to stand up for them at all costs.
Dashan's approach is very smart. With his ability, it is simply impossible to threaten Zhou Ming, so he can only find another way to use the means of sowing discord to mess with Zhou Ming's mentality, so as to achieve his ulterior motive. human purpose.
Shopkeeper Lu was blindly optimistic just now, thinking that Yi Ming would definitely not be intimidated, and would even teach Dashan and his gang of boys a lesson when angered, because he did not see this fact clearly.
The reason why shopkeeper Lu would make such a low-level mistake is actually excusable. He has always lived in the wealthy class and rarely interacts with people at the bottom of society, so that he doesn't understand how low-income people like Dashan treat him. He knew nothing about the worst tricks he was usually good at using. It was because of this that he made mistakes when judging the situation in front of him.
Although the machinations and tricks used by Dashan could blind Shopkeeper Lu, they could not deceive the leader and his group of strong men, because like Dashan, they were also people who had been struggling at the bottom for a long time.
The leader and his brothers all understand that the trick used by Dashan cannot scare people, but it is disgusting. Young talents like Zhou Ming are generally very arrogant because of their extraordinary abilities, and care about their face the most. , Dashan pointed out his weaknesses in front of everyone, and also made him clearly understand the relationship with these strong men. This would, to a large extent, make his mentality unbalanced. If he is young and energetic here, Under such circumstances, with a hot head, in order to regain his face and dignity, he is likely to change his position and stop defending these strong men. He may even turn his gun around driven by anger. Join forces with Dashan and his gang to deal with poor people like them. By then, they will really die without a burial place.
After all, they couldn't even deal with these guys who had no martial arts skills in front of them. If Zhou Yiming, who had profound martial arts skills, tried to deal with them, they would have no choice but to wait there to die.
After thinking of this, the strong men were all scared out of their wits. They were sweating coldly and looking at Zhou Ming worriedly, hoping to guess what he was thinking from the changes in the expression on his face.
Faced with Dashan's threat and psychological warfare, Yi Ming didn't know his intentions at the first time. He only felt that this kid was sick. I had already taken action to stop his plan. If he was a normal person, what should be done most at this moment. , that is, giving orders to his gang of little brothers. If he is brave enough, let them continue to deal with the strong men. If he is as timid as a mouse and is afraid of causing trouble, he should let his gang of little brothers withdraw quickly. , to save his life.
But this old boy didn't choose either. He chose the third way, boldly provoking himself directly, and also said something to sow discord between himself and those strong men, hoping to solve him in this way. Dilemma faced.
At first, Zhou Yiming didn't take Dashan's words to heart. He only thought that this person was too naive. But when he calmed down and carefully thought about Dashan's every move, he found that this kid was not simple.
If he took action to stop this fight, he would have given Dashan a big slap in the face. Under this situation, his little guys must have been confused for the first time. They didn't know whether to go ahead with the plan or hesitate. Determined, they did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they could only leave the decision-making power to Dashan, hoping that he would give them a clear instruction. This was like putting Dashan on the fire.
At such a critical moment, no matter what decision he makes, he will face huge risks, because if he withstands the pressure and continues to let those guys do evil, he will definitely not let him go, and how many methods he has Awesome, Dashan knows it very well.
Faced with such a threat of force, Dashan will definitely not be stupid and let himself fall into an irreversible situation. However, if he wants his brothers to retreat, the consequences will be equally difficult to deal with, because in this way, he will lose control of his brothers. His prestige will be lost in an instant, he will lose the support of the gang of boys, and become a lonely man. Not only is he unqualified to fight with himself, but he is also very likely to be beaten to death by his own men. After all, when he was so proud just now, He often took the opportunity to bully his brothers.
It was precisely because he understood that neither of these two paths could be taken that he made a desperate decision and chose this third path, and Zhou Ming had to admit that he chose this path very well.
First of all, when he spoke to himself, his tone was very arrogant, even a little ferocious. This suddenly gave him an advantage in momentum, and at the same time, he also sent a signal to his gang of boys, that is, to tell them, No matter how powerful the enemy is, as your eldest brother, I will never be afraid of him.
He has two advantages in doing this. One is to boost the morale of his brothers, and the other is to remind everyone present that he is the boss among the villains, so that everyone must not forget this and ignore his exist.
After all this is done, it is not over yet. The most subtle point of Dashan's move is still behind him. Although his tone is very fierce when he talks to himself, his choice of the content of his words is very cautious and specific. Those who speak reasonable and gentle words seem to be afraid of saying the wrong thing and irritating themselves.
After analyzing Dashan's evil thoughts, Zhou Yiming secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that this kid really had two skills. When faced with huge pressure, he solved his predicament with just a few words and solved the problem. The pressure was on my side. Faced with such a severe situation, if I didn't deal with it carefully, I would probably lose in the confrontation with him, leaving an impression of incompetence on everyone present.
Although these people don't know my true identity, even if I failed miserably when facing the mountain today, the damage to my own face would be minimal, but I don't like losing, and I hate seeing that mountain looking arrogant.
Realizing that he was a little emotional, Zhou Ming quickly forced himself to calm down, and then began to think about how to deal with Dashan's machinations.
First of all, he felt that he could not use strong tactics in this situation, because if he faced the provocation of Dashan, he directly confronted him and said that I will take care of this matter today, and I will not allow you to hurt those strong men. Can you try touching them again?
After saying these words, although the problem will be solved immediately so that the strong men will no longer be beaten, it will also give everyone present a bad impression of themselves, that is, they feel that they have no principles and do not distinguish between good and bad. After all, just now Those strong men had offended themselves. Although they used various means to please themselves and expressed their apologies to themselves, these were not enough to atone for their sins.
Under such circumstances, if you resist the pressure and still insist on standing up for them, it will appear that you are too brainless.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult. At the same time, he also knew how powerful Dashan was. This kid had created an unsolvable problem for himself without making a move.
Since we can't be aggressive and directly angrily attack the mountain, what should we do?
Zhou Yiming couldn't help feeling worried in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, another idea appeared in Yi Ming's mind, that is, to just let go of those strong men and let them go whether they were alive or dead. In this way, he would not fall into Dashan's trap and could also protect himself. A good image can be said to be an excellent way to deal with this problem.
Just when he was about to put this method into action, he suddenly changed his mind and felt that something was wrong. Then he sighed in his heart and gave up the idea of using this method.
Because at a critical moment, he suddenly realized that if he went back on his word and regardless of the life or death of those strong men, the negative impact on himself would be greater, because he had already intervened in the dispute between them. If he was in Dashan Under provocation, he changed his mind easily. Wouldn't that be equivalent to losing to Dashan?
At that time, everyone present would not know his inner difficulties, and would only think that he was afraid of the mountains, so he abandoned the strong men and ignored them.
Thinking of such a scene, Zhou Yiming's blood surged for a moment and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He really couldn't understand why he just took action when the initiative in the game just now was still firmly in his hands. After saving the lives of those strong men, he immediately fell into a passive situation, and no matter how hard he tried to think of a way, he could never think of a good way to turn passivity into initiative.
His eyes were wide with anger, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his teeth were clenched. The bad breath in his chest almost made him impulsively jump over and smash the mountain into pieces.
But at the last moment, he still controlled his emotions. He knew that doing so would not solve the problem and would only bring greater disaster to himself.
In order to calm himself down, he began to take a deep breath, and then stared at the mountain. In the process, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.
Since Dashan can avoid reality and create problems for himself, why don't he treat others in his own way?
After thinking about this, a smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face. He looked at Dashan coldly and said meaningfully: "Dashan, I think you seem to have some misunderstanding about what I just said.
I have no interest in knowing about the grudges between you and those strong men, let alone intervening in them. Those people have nothing to do with me at all. It can even be said that they are my enemies who have offended me. I have always been If someone who has offended me does not get the punishment he deserves, I will never let him go easily.
The reason why I opened my mouth to stop your brothers just now is to tell you that this duel between us has been delayed for so long that I feel a little annoyed.
How you want to deal with those strong men is your freedom, but before you do it, you must first solve the problem between us. "
What Zhou Yiming said was so confident and clean that Dashan was immediately speechless and could only stand there in a daze.
He really didn't expect that Zhou Yiming's martial arts skills were not only unfathomable, but also his words were top-notch. He tried his best to set a trap for him, thinking that he would have no way to escape. Deeply trapped in passivity, he never expected that this young junior would crush his conspiracy to pieces with just a few words, and even made him unable to step down for a while, and he could only stare.
The group of strong men had been in a state of extreme excitement after being rescued by Yi Ming. They all regarded Yi Ming as their great benefactor, and even planned to build a memorial for him in the most conspicuous place in their home when they returned home. Let your descendants burn incense and worship the longevity tablet every day, as if this is the only way to express their gratitude to Zhou Ming.
After Dashan launched a provocation against Zhou Ming, although these strong men were a little worried that Zhou Ming would not be able to withstand the pressure, they were more confident because they understood Zhou Ming's character and knew that this young junior would not be able to withstand the pressure. When absolutely necessary, you will never betray them.
It was precisely because of this belief that before Yi Ming gave a clear response, they had been looking at him with fear.
After hearing his statement, these strong men were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that their great benefactor came to save them just because he wanted to complete the duel with Dashan as soon as possible. As for whether they were dead or alive , he didn't care at all.
After knowing this fact, the strong men were disappointed and sad. Some of the mentally fragile people even wiped their tears in public and complained at the same time:
"How could this happen? It turns out that we are of no importance in the heart of our benefactor."
"Since he looks down on us, why bother to save us? With such complete contempt from him, we might as well die cleanly, so as not to owe others a favor, spend our whole life not being able to repay it, and still being hated by them."
"This feeling is even more disgusting than eating a fly!"
After hearing what Zhou Ming said, the leading brother couldn't accept it emotionally for the first time. But when he calmed down, carefully considered the current situation, and considered Zhou Ming's situation, he suddenly realized that Zhou Ming was at this moment. He said these words out of necessity, because if he revealed other thoughts or showed his weak side, the mountain would probably grab his pigtails and attack him head-on, and he would be sure of victory by then. Zhou Ming is likely to fall into passivity immediately.
Wanting to understand this truth, the leading brother immediately called his brothers aside, lowered his voice and explained to them: "Brothers, calm down, I tell you, we have misunderstood our great benefactor!"
Everyone looked at him very puzzled, not understanding what he meant. Some people even couldn't wait to ask:
"Brother, when has this been, are you still talking to that person? What he said just now has been very clear. He still remembers our grudges, and his rescue of us is just an unexpected side effect. His real purpose , is to defeat that mountain as soon as possible.”
"Is there any misunderstanding? Brother, please stop deceiving yourself. That young man has never forgiven us from the beginning to the end. Let's not give up on him."
Because these strong men were quite excited, when they spoke, their voices were so loud that they attracted the attention of the boys on the side.
The boys all turned around and stared at them with wide eyes, as if they wanted to tell them with their eyes, be honest, we didn't beat you just now, it was your luck. You won't be so lucky next time.
Realizing the danger, the leader quickly gathered his brothers and crawled farther away.
Although the image of Zhou Ming as a great benefactor collapsed in the hearts of these strong men, they still respected the leader. After all, if he had not led them to bravely fight against the gang of boys, they would have died long ago. Gone.
Everyone followed the leader to a corner obediently. After they stood still, they all turned around to see if the gang of boys were chasing after them.
After confirming that no one was following, everyone turned their attention to the leading brother, hoping that he would explain what he just said clearly.
