At the beginning, the leading brother didn't understand what the look on Zhou Ming's face meant. He even panicked and thought that Zhou Ming was mad at the gang of boys, so he was a little mentally disturbed. , if this is the case, then the matter will be troublesome. After all, if this young junior really has a psychological problem, it will be difficult for you to make a correct judgment on his next behavior. In this way, even if the eldest brother takes the lead and the strong men beside them, stick to their posts and do their best to be vigilant. It is difficult for them to ensure the safety of the brothers in the private room, because in this unstable state, Yi Ming may do unexpected things at any time. matter.
After thinking of this, the leading brother frowned and wanted to go back to the private room as soon as possible to inform his brothers that there was a danger outside and ask them not to act yet and stay where he was and wait for his follow-up orders.
But reason told him that he had no time to do this, let alone the opportunity to return to the private room and convey these orders in person, because his position was too conspicuous. He had just been able to get here smoothly by chance. , occupying this position is already extremely lucky. If he wants to return to the private room without attracting other people's attention at this moment, unless the gods come down to earth to help him personally, otherwise, for him, It's a completely impossible task.
Just as the leading brother was considering whether to let the strong man next to him go back to the private room under his own cover, his peripheral vision glanced at Zhou Ming's face unintentionally. This time he made an even more astonishing discovery.
Zhou Yiming was seen frowning on one side, opening his mouth, his eyes were red, and he looked ready to go, as if something strange and big was going to happen to him.
The leading brother was stunned for a moment, because he suddenly realized that Zhou Ming's expression and demeanor seemed like something he had seen somewhere before.
After having this idea, he began to concentrate all his energy and began to think about his previous experiences.
The strong man next to him used his elbow to remind him to look in the direction of Zhou Ming because this boy had already noticed something was wrong with Zhou Ming. He was afraid that this young disciple would disrupt their plan. , and he couldn't think of any good solution, so in desperation, he plucked up the courage and planned to ask the leader what he thought.
But what he never expected was that at the critical moment, the leader who sensed the danger was actually frightened. Not only was he unable to come up with any good solution to the current crisis, but he froze on the spot and couldn't say a word. Did not say.
While the strong man was disappointed, he began to mutter in his heart that his eldest brother usually showed his teeth and looked like a capable person, but he didn't expect that all this was an illusion. Once he encountered a huge problem, he would also turn out to be his true self. Exposed.
Since even eldest brother can't come up with any good ideas, it seems that the only way we can go is to wait for death.
Once such a desperate mood appeared in his heart, the strong man suddenly had the urge to cry. He even began to complain to himself in his heart, thinking that he had just boarded the pirate ship of the leader. He was really stupid. With this If you have the courage, you might as well come out of the private room directly, go to Zhou Ming and admit your mistake face to face.
Maybe the young junior would spare him because of his sincerity.
But this strong man also knew in his heart that there was no point in thinking through this at this time. The only thing he could do now was to wait calmly for death.
After the leading brother thought for a moment, he suddenly realized that the expression on Zhou Ming's face and the state of readiness in him had also appeared in himself before. At that time, he was working as a janitor for a bank. One day He caught a cold due to being caught in the rain and contracted wind-chill. Fortunately, he was strong and recovered after taking a few medicines. However, the root cause of the disease was a cough.
During that time, he coughed so much that he even thought that he was suffering from tuberculosis and would not live long. Moreover, every time he was about to cough, he would frown in discomfort, open his mouth wide, and tense up his whole body. Every muscle hopes to use all its strength to cough up the filth in the lungs.
His expression and physical condition at that time were almost exactly the same as Zhou Ming's now.
Thinking of this, the leading brother suddenly realized that the state Zhou Ming was in just meant that he wanted to cough.
After understanding this, the leading brother almost laughed, thinking that I was too sensitive just now. I was so scared before I figured it out. Now that I think about it, it is really embarrassing. Fortunately, I Most of my brothers are in the private room. Otherwise, if they see my embarrassing appearance, how can I face them?
The fear in his heart gradually disappeared, and the leading brother immediately adjusted his emotions, then turned his head and looked at the strong man next to him, and then used lip language to carefully say: "Don't worry, it will be fine. That young junior, just It's just that he wants to cough. Just be prepared in advance and don't be frightened by the sound of his cough. As for the brothers in the private room, you can find a way to notify them and don't let them panic. I'll be there later Stay in front and try to cover you.”
The strong man looked at the leader with suspicion, doubting the credibility of his words. After all, a master with profound martial arts skills like Zhou Yiming has a very strong ability to control his body. How could he be tortured by the urge to cough? Why is it so uncomfortable?
Although there were many doubts in his heart, this strong man did not dare to show them at all. After all, in front of the leader, he had no right to express his thoughts and could only obey his orders.
Just when he nodded and was about to sneak back into the private room to convey the meaning of the leading brother to the other brothers, Yi Ming suddenly coughed violently. The coughing sound was so loud that it made Shopkeeper Lu who was hiding behind him. It was so deafening that I couldn't hear a sound for a long time.
Dashan and his gang of boys were also startled by Zhou Ming's sudden cough. They were quiet for a while, and only after confirming that the sound was coming from Zhou Ming, they started to deal with their internal problems again.
Because they had prepared their psychology in advance, neither the leading brother nor the strong man under him were too frightened. In order not to attract Zhou Ming's attention, the two tried their best to pretend to be calm.
Although the leading brother was not frightened by Zhou Ming's cough, he was very worried about whether the brothers in the private room would be frightened and panicked by the sudden cough without being warned in advance. If he was so confused that he messed up and made noise, his plan would be completely ruined.
At the critical moment when his life was hanging by a thread, on the one hand, he stared at Zhou Ming with his eyes, and on the other hand, his ears were always paying attention to the movements in the private room, for fear that the brothers inside would not be able to withstand the pressure and cause trouble.
But fortunately, the accident did not happen. Until Zhou Ming's coughing gradually stopped, there was no abnormal noise in the private room. This made the lead brother let out a long sigh of relief and thought that I finally saw it right. Man, the person in charge who was elected is really capable. Under such unexpected circumstances, he did not let his brothers cause trouble. Such talents are really rare. It seems that I should consider it. After this incident, do you want this guy to be my deputy so that he can help me better manage my brothers?
When he was thinking about something, the strong man on the side touched him quietly and reminded him to look towards him.
The leading brother turned his head with some displeasure and stared at the strong man, wanting to see what he was up to.
The strong man first looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no danger, he carefully said with his lips: "Brother, that young man has stopped coughing. Should I go back to the private room immediately and tell him Help brothers, let them continue to act, don’t delay the progress?”
The leading brother glared at him, then looked around to check the surrounding situation, and said with his lips: "There's no need. Since the crisis has passed, the brothers in the private room have not caused trouble. This has proved that they have You have no ability to deal with such emergencies. Under such circumstances, why would you go back? If someone else notices you while you are moving, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Then you should tell the brothers that everything is okay outside, so that they can calm down and devote all their energy to carrying out their tasks." The strong man understood the psychological state of his brothers very well, so after listening to the words of the leading brother, in order For the sake of those brothers, he expressed his thoughts very decisively.
The leader smiled calmly, and said with a contemptuous smile: "You are destined to be an errand.
Let me tell you, although the brothers in the private room have withstood the test just now, if they cannot confirm that it is safe outside, they will definitely not continue to carry out operations easily.
Don't worry, it won't be long before they send someone to the crack of the door, looking out, waiting for us to give the signal that it's safe. "
Originally, this strong man still had no confidence in the words of the leading brother, but when he thought that the leading brother had predicted that Zhou Yiming was going to cough, he suddenly gave up his doubts, then quietly turned aside and stayed by his side. He kept paying attention to the crack in the door of the private room with his peripheral vision, and at the same time hoped that the brothers in the private room would come out early to inquire about the news.
The leading brother was very satisfied with the reaction of the strong man. Before he turned around and continued his security work, he said to the strong man: "Once our brother appears at the crack of the door, you can use your hand gestures." Tell them that there is nothing going on outside, and let them continue to do their own thing and never stop. As for the security work outside, let them not worry, we will take care of it."
The strong man nodded, responding to the words of the leading brother.
In the private room, since Yi Ming made a loud cough, the person in charge and the strong men all stayed in place, trembling with fear. They all thought that Yi Ming would rush in immediately after taking care of the leader, looking for him. They cowards settle the score.
Thinking of such a scene, some of the strong men were even on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the brothers next to them who extended a helping hand to them at the critical moment and gave them a certain amount of comfort, they would have been unable to withstand it. He couldn't bear the pressure, became insane, rushed out of the private room, and died in front of Yi Ming.
The person in charge who was in fear did not give up thinking. On the one hand, his ears were carefully listening to the movements outside the private room. On the other hand, he was thinking in his heart, what if Yi Ming rushed in later? , what method should I use to minimize the harm he causes to me.
After much thought, the person in charge could not come up with any feasible plan, because he knew that given Zhou Ming's character, seeing their cowardly appearance, he would have been so angry that if he had If you still show weakness at this time and kneel down to beg him for mercy, it will only make things worse and make him even more angry.
After thinking about it in the end, the person in charge simply gave up, because he felt that instead of living an ignoble existence, giving up his dignity, and saving a life, it was better to die generously. In this case, even if he saw his companions on the road to hell, he would still ask questions. No shame, because even at the last moment, he did not desert.
Thinking of this, the person in charge became more open-minded. He opened his eyes, raised his head, looked at the crack in the door, and paid attention to the changes in light and shadow, hoping that from these changes, he could detect Zhou Ming's actions early.
As time went by, Zhou Ming's coughing sound gradually became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared. During this process, nothing unexpected happened.
The strong men had been controlled by fear for so long that their reactions were a little slow. After Zhou Ming's coughing sound disappeared for a moment, they gradually raised their heads and asked each other with their eyes, are we not dreaming? That youngster’s cough disappeared?
After receiving affirmative answers from each other, these strong men were so happy that they almost cried, because with the disappearance of Zhou Ming's coughing sound, the danger they imagined did not come as expected, which proved that they still had a chance to escape. In dangerous situations, you can use the efforts of your own hands to save your life.
Although the strong men were extremely happy in their hearts, they did not dare to express their joy, because on the one hand they were afraid that they would be happy too early, and if they laughed, it would cause greater disaster; on the other hand, , before the person in charge has made a clear statement, if they dare to act randomly, they will probably be punished.
When demolishing the door, the strong man who encountered difficulties knelt down in embarrassment in front of the person in charge. Seeing that the person in charge had not woken up from his daze, he mustered up the courage, stretched out his hand, and patted the door. Patted him on the shoulder.
The reason why the person in charge stayed there in a daze was because he couldn't believe that the catastrophe in front of him had just passed like this? If he had known this, why would he have been so scared just now.
When he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. He was startled and subconsciously moved back a few times. Then he raised his eyes and saw that the person touching him turned out to be that person. A strong man who gets himself into trouble.
He frowned angrily, came to the strong man again, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you know that scaring people will scare them to death! Now our situation has just improved a little, and you are here Are you looking down on us for seeking death? If you hate us, why not go out directly from the door of the private room and tell the young man about our conspiracy here. In this way, not only can you let out a bad breath, but maybe You can also get some benefits from that youngster."
The strong man originally just wanted to remind the person in charge to stop being in a daze and quickly think of a solution for himself, but what he didn't expect was that the person in charge actually got so angry, and what he said, if If you don't refute it immediately, you may get yourself into huge trouble.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately knelt down in front of the person in charge and explained with tears: "Brother, I didn't mean that. I patted you just now, but I just felt that the danger had passed, and I wanted you to come out quickly." Just an idea.
If you don’t believe it, I can swear that if..."
The person in charge immediately interrupted him: "Okay, I know what you are thinking, you don't need to curse or swear.
But I can tell you clearly now that we cannot continue to act before we are sure whether the situation outside is safe.
You go back to your position now, don't move around, let alone talk nonsense, wait for me to check the situation outside, if everything is normal, I will tell you what to do when I come back. "
The strong man nodded, and then returned to his position in despair.
Before going to inquire about the situation outside, the person in charge used lip language and gestures to tell the other strong men his thoughts, telling them to stick to their posts and not to mess around.
After stabilizing everyone, the person in charge slowly crawled toward the crack in the door. During the crawling process, he was under great psychological pressure because he was very scared. When he reached the crack in the door and looked outside, he would see a tragic scene. Such a scene, because considering the young man's martial arts skills, it would not be difficult for him to take someone's life silently.
With an anxious mood, he came to the crack in the door. The person in charge first listened to the movement outside. After confirming that there was no danger, he slowly poked half of his head out and started to look outside.
The strong man who performed the security mission with the leading brother had long been paying attention to the movements at the crack of the door. As soon as the head of the person in charge was exposed, he saw it. He hurriedly gestured to the person in charge, telling him that everything was normal outside and let him do not worry.
