Those strong men who had not yet expressed their loyalty in front of the leader were relieved when they saw that everyone suddenly became quiet, because they had been slow to react just now and were beaten by others before they could speak. After all the good things were said, just when they were worried about what to say, the leader took action in time and interrupted their expression of loyalty. This can be said to have saved these people from a certain perspective. .
"Brothers, there is no need to persuade you any more. I have made up my mind. Let's all act quickly and think of a solution." The leader said resolutely, "As long as one of you comes up with a solution, I will be the first to follow him." , listen to his orders and never regret it.
And if anyone among us is not convinced by the new eldest brother, don’t blame me for being cruel and rude to him! "
Having said this, the leader raised his arm and slapped the ground hard. The force was so strong that it made a huge noise.
The strong men were frightened by the sudden move of the leading brother. They looked at each other. After a while, they gradually calmed down. Each of them knew in their hearts that the leading brother had already said what he said. Then his The decision will definitely not change. As long as he is behind him, once someone among them comes up with a complete solution to the current problem, he will definitely be able to take the lead as the big brother as he wishes. Moreover, this new big brother does not need to be afraid of objections. After all, whenever he encounters difficulties, his current leader will definitely stand up and solve them for him.
Under such protection, the new eldest brother's position will definitely be secure. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, no one can knock him off the stage.
With this idea in mind, the strong men immediately became busy. They racked their brains, mobilized every brain cell, and then desperately thought of solutions.
As time passed bit by bit, the faces of the strong men who were originally excited and determined to win the position of eldest brother gradually began to show fatigue. They really did not expect that compared with guarding, mental work was too tiring. , they spent a long time working hard, but not only did no one come up with a solution, but everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely.
Only then did they understand that when the leader said he wanted to give up his position, they had oversimplified the problem. The reason was actually very simple. Finding out what the problem was was relatively easy. It is relatively easy for people with a slightly normal brain to concentrate and think about it, but it is not that easy to solve the problem.
These strong men originally thought that if they could easily see the essence of the predicament in front of them just now, they would also be able to find a solution to the predicament very easily. It is precisely because of this mentality that they heard what the leading brother wanted to say. They will be so happy when they give way.
Even at that time, each of them felt that as long as they paid a little more attention, the position of the eldest brother would definitely be theirs. However, after some hard work, they desperately found that finding out the problem and solving the problem were two different things. It's even more irrelevant.
Seeing the pained expressions gradually showing on the faces of the strong men, Brother Obito hugged his shoulders, sat aside, and said to everyone with a concerned look: "Don't be anxious, everyone, think slowly, you will definitely be able to come up with a solution.
The fact that you were able to discover the essence of the problem just now shows that you have the ability to solve the problem. You must not give up just because you encounter a small setback, so that your previous efforts will be in vain. "
Hearing the encouragement from the leader, the strong men were not happy, but felt a sense of shame, because at this moment they discovered how difficult it was to come up with a way to solve the problem and turn the tide at the critical moment.
Thinking of their faces when they questioned the leader just now, each of them blushed with shame and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide their embarrassment.
The leading brother saw through their thoughts, but he just didn't tell them. He wanted to see how long this group of people could last.
The strong men didn't want to give in. They wanted to try harder and make a final struggle. After all, the opportunity to seize the position of eldest brother was very rare, and they didn't want to give in so easily.
The strong men closed their eyes one by one, gritted their teeth, concentrated all their energy, and wanted to fight to the death, but after a long time of effort, they still gained nothing in the end.
Having completely lost confidence, they could only give up their fantasies, face the reality, and admit their mistakes to the leader:
"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have questioned the method you came up with just now. Although your method cannot fundamentally solve our situation, it can at least help us overcome the current difficulties."
"You really are not a good person. I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. After the elder brother just said his solution, we felt that you spent nothing at all, so the solution you came up with should be of no use.
But when it was our turn to think of a solution, we realized that it was already very difficult for the eldest brother to come up with that simple solution. "
"Brother, after this incident, I am completely convinced by you. No matter what you ask me to do from now on, I will never say no again."
The reason why the big brother who took the lead was sitting next to him and waiting patiently for a long time was for this moment.
In fact, the reason why he was so generous and planned to give up his position as the leader just now was because he had predicted that these strong men were incapable of coming up with a solution. He wanted them to clearly realize their own limitations so that they could give up completely. Fantasy, take the initiative to admit your mistakes to yourself.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the leading brother smiled slightly, and then said in a pretentious tone: "Am I right? I have given you the opportunity, why did you give up so easily? Don't you think of one? Is there a way to completely solve the current predicament? No, it shouldn’t be. When I put forward my opinion just now and you questioned me, everyone was very confident. It looked like you had mastered the solution to the problem. The ultimate secret, so much so that I completely ignore my methods."
Facing the scolding and ridicule of the elder brother, the strong men said nothing. They could only lower their heads obediently and listen helplessly, because in this matter, they did indeed go too far. They had no brains in the first place. , actually after the leader brother finally came up with a method, he pointed fingers at him and even doubted the effectiveness of his method. This kind of behavior is a huge insult even to an ordinary person, not to mention that what they are questioning is their own. Where's the eldest brother?
"What? Now you know how dejected you are? Why did you go there so early?" The leader became more and more angry. When he got angry, he said angrily, "Do you really think that you guys can see the problem with your pig brains? , can't I see it? I didn't expose your retarded behavior just now, I just wanted you to see your true face."
The strong men were scolded one by one, and they knew in their hearts that they deserved it. Logically speaking, when the leader was angry at them, they should not speak casually, but they realized that they were still in a situation where After being in danger, a few of the strong men could not hold their breath. They timidly crawled to the side of the leading brother and said in extremely weak voices:
"Brother, we all deserved death just now. You wanted to beat or scold us, and we all admitted it. But now we are still in danger. If you spend all your time and energy on us, what will happen to us?" It’s also very detrimental to yourself.”
"Why don't you, brother, write down our account first, and then you can deal with us when we are out of danger?
Don't worry, after learning this lesson, we will never dare to raise any questions in front of you again. "
The leading brother was really pissed off by the people in front of him. He wanted to continue scolding him, but after hearing the careful reminders from the two strong men beside him, he suddenly came to his senses and felt that what they said made sense. At this moment, he was the most What they should do is to mobilize these strong men and quickly follow their plans. Otherwise, once Yi Ming discovers what they have done, even if they take action to save themselves, it will be too late.
The leader's eyes widened, he glanced around at the strong men in front of him, then scolded them a few more times, and then he gradually calmed down. After he calmed down, he said: "You guys, you are the one who keeps talking at the critical moment. Do not obey my orders at all times. If my plan is ruined today because of you and we are put in danger, I will fight you forever as long as I save my life."
"Brother, we don't dare anymore."
"Spare your life, brother!"
The strong men heard that although the leading brother was still scolding them, his tone became softer. They immediately realized that the turning point had come, and the leading brother was probably going to spare them once.
After seeing the hope of being forgiven, they immediately knelt at the feet of the leader, and then begged for mercy one after another. That kind of frankness would make even the most hard-hearted person feel pity.
The leader glared at them, thinking how come I have such a group of people under my command. They have no blood at all, and it is not worth getting angry with them.
In order to convince these strong men, the leading brother planned to tell them the beauty of his plan before telling them to act according to his plan, so that they would at least be aware of it and have confidence in his own method.
Otherwise, if these strong men deliberately tamper with their actions or fail to do their best, they may cause unexpected trouble.
After thinking about it in his mind, the leading brother put on a straight face, then stretched out his hands to signal the strong men in front of him to sit down. He had something important to say to them.
The strong men who had already suffered a loss now all learned their lesson. They sat back in their seats obediently and did not dare to say a word.
"You just questioned me, saying that the method I came up with has no effect at all on our current situation." The leader adjusted his emotions and slowly said, "As for your doubts, in fact, I I'm not angry at all, because the truth becomes clearer with each argument. The reason why I got angry just now is just because your perspective of thinking about the problem is too naive.
You think that as long as you find out the problem, you can follow the clues and find a solution to the problem. This is simply fantastic.
Let me tell you, I was able to come up with that solution only by luck. "
After hearing these words, all the strong men showed embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Actually, I also understand in my heart that my method cannot fundamentally solve our predicament, but it can solve the temporary difficulties." The leader continued to say earnestly, "The reason why we are now in this situation of being surrounded by all sides is because On the one hand, it’s because I didn’t live up to expectations, and on the other hand, it was because of my decision-making mistake just now.
Just now, in order to preserve everyone's strength, I was so eager for quick success and quick success that when you asked to hide in this private room, I didn't stop you. I even watched you helplessly as you moved the broken door back and installed it on the door frame. , if I were clear-headed and in good condition, I would never allow you to do this. "
Hearing this, the strong man couldn't help but mutter in his heart, Brother, it seems that you asked us to get that door back just now, why are you so clean now? What you do is a bit unethical.
Although they had a lot of complaints in their hearts, they had already contradicted the leader once and they really didn't have the guts to express their dissatisfaction again.
"The young man we have tried so hard to please is standing alone outside, facing those vicious gangs. He is fearless. Compared with them, we are simply worse than garbage." In order to arouse The strong men were so competitive that the leader quickly used Zhou Ming to stimulate them, "If in this situation, that young junior sees our behavior of hiding our heads and showing our tails, do you think he won't be angry?"
After asking this question, the leading brother looked at the strong men with cold eyes.
The strong men all shook their heads and gave him a negative answer.
"Isn't that enough? Since you all understand this in your hearts, why do you not understand my intention when I ask you to dismantle the door and put it back in its original position?" The elder brother who took the lead patted his knee. He said very excitedly, "Although this won't make us braver in a short time, it can at least make us look less vulgar.
As long as we get through today's difficulty, it will still be too late for us to slowly correct our own shortcomings in the future. "
The strong men didn't understand the method that the leading brother came up with at first, but after they listened to the explanation from the leading brother, they suddenly realized that although the leading brother's method could not cure the root cause, it could completely cure the symptoms and solve their current problems. .
"Brother, we are so stupid. Your method is so exquisite. We didn't understand its beauty just now. We are really ashamed."
"Brother, just tell us what you want us to do. We will listen to you without any hesitation."
After realizing their stupidity, the strong men expressed their support one after another and clearly expressed their support for any decision made by the leader.
Seeing this scene, the leading brother had tears in his eyes and was so moved that he was speechless for a moment, because from the time he came up with that idea to winning the recognition of his group of strong men, he really paid too much in the process. The price was such that when he first saw the strong men supporting him, he couldn't believe his eyes.
After being in a daze for a while, he hurriedly adjusted his emotions and prevented himself from continuing to sink in the sadness, because he knew that there were more important things waiting for him to do right now.
"In this case, time waits for no one. Now you listen to my instructions and take action immediately. Your hands and feet must be nimble and you must not be sloppy." The leader suddenly opened his eyes and said with great pride.
The strong men were also very generous. As soon as he finished speaking, these people immediately said in unison: "Yes."
Because he spoke in a uniform manner, the sound that broke out was deafening for a while.
"Shh!" The leading brother really didn't expect that the strong men's momentum was so high, and even made such a loud sound when responding to him. In order to prevent these sounds from ruining their plan, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled The strong men under his command shut their mouths, "Do you want to die? My plan can only be carried out secretly. If your voices alert the people outside and attract the attention of the young disciple, we will be dead. ”
The strong men immediately realized the problem after being reminded by the leader. They quickly covered their mouths with their hands, widened their eyes, and looked at the leader in panic.
The leading brother made a gesture and told them to stay put. Then he crept to the door of Yajian'er, looked out through the crack in the door, and found that there was no sound of agreement from the strong men under him. Attracting the attention of outsiders, the gang of boys were still busy dealing with their internal conflicts, while Yi Ming had been watching the movements of Dashan and the others, with no intention of looking at them.
As for shopkeeper Lu, he has been hiding behind Zhou Ming. Looking over from where the leader is, it is impossible to see what he is doing, but one thing is certain. All of this guy's attention is on Zhou Ming. There is no extra energy to pay attention to the movements of these rough guys.
After confirming that there was no danger outside, the leading brother breathed a long sigh of relief. He crawled back to the strong men, then lowered his voice and said to them carefully: "What I say to you next is related to our life and death. You must keep it in mind and never forget it.
Later, I will squeeze out through the crack in the door first. You are watching me from behind the door. Once I signal to you to let you act, you will immediately take down the door, and then put it down gently. Return to the original position. During this process, be careful not to make any sound. "
