There is a small protruding flat dam on the top of Longshan Mountain, and there is a stone pavilion on the flat dam.
The surrounding area of the pavilion is deserted, except for a few clusters of extremely tenacious bitter grass fluttering in the wind, adding some greenery to the pavilion.
The top of the mountain is the private territory of the Ma family and is usually closed to outsiders. Today, it was specially chosen as the place for peace talks, which also shows that Ma Senming attaches great importance to this mediation.
In order to maintain fairness, it was agreed that each attendee could only bring one bodyguard.
At this time, there were many people in the pavilion, including the four giants Ma Senming, Zhao Yuanba, Fat Corpse, Tian Yue, and of course, Song Ziyu and Xu Yingnan.
Song Ziyu was the trigger of this conflict, so he was invited to the meeting. As for Xu Yingnan, he insisted on fulfilling his responsibilities as a bodyguard.
Song Ziyu was sitting next to Zhao Yuanba, looking at everyone carefully with his eyes.
Ma Senming is an unremarkable old man, who looks to be in his fifties or sixties. He has a medium build and a thin face, but he has a kind face.
Even in a civilized world, this person would be considered elegant, easy-going, and affable.
But such an elegant and easy-going old man, placed among a group of desperadoes who kill without batting an eye, obviously occupying the C position and chatting and laughing with everyone, seems too inconsistent.
In addition, Song Ziyu also discovered that the old man's complexion seemed not to be very good.
Tian Yue is a burly middle-aged man, wearing shorts and rough clothes. He is playing with a white snake bone handle in his hand, exuding a stench that is immediately noticeable.
This honest guy's resolute square face revealed a subtle hint of shrewdness and cunning.
The last person sitting farthest from Zhao Yuanba was a fat man with a bloated body that looked like a dead man who had been soaked in water for a week.
Needless to say, this guy is a fat corpse!
The fat corpse's surname is Fei, and his name is just like the person he is. He is as fat and ugly as a zombie. To be able to raise such a fat body in a world of apocalyptic wasteland means more than just how many people he has exploited.
At this moment, the fat corpse was also staring at him with eyes the size of mung beans, and his hatred was beyond words, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Song Ziyu snorted coldly and turned away to look at this ugly guy.
"Brother Ma, is your health okay recently?" Everyone sat down, and Zhao Yuanba greeted Ma Senming seemingly casually.
"What will work or not? There is no cure for cancer. I can only live one day at a time." Ma Senming replied calmly, as if the conversation was not about him at all.
"Oh, it's all because Brother Ma often walked in the radiation zone in his early years. He got cancer and suffered a lot in his later years. I'm afraid he won't end up well." Zhao Tianba chuckled.
"Asshole! How dare you be so disrespectful to my master!" The young man behind Ma Senming stared angrily.
"That's all, Xiao Zhao always talks like this. If he likes to talk, let him do it. There aren't many chances anyway..." Ma Senming said while coughing.
"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Tianba asked.
Ma Senming smiled slightly and did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Song Ziyu: "This little friend is so low-key, but I didn't expect that Longshan settlement would fall into huge disputes."
Song Ziyu didn't expect Ma Senming to come towards him, so he could only reply: "The old man is blaming me, I am the victim!"
Ma Senming continued: "You supply all the salt, sugar, grain and oil on the market, right?"
Song Ziyu nodded and admitted.
"The stuff is pretty good. I haven't seen anything this good in many years." There was something in Ma Senming's words.
"snort!"
Fat Corpse snorted coldly and cursed: "Young man, do you understand the rules? Have you ever asked me about selling goods in the Longshan settlement?"
When the fat corpse spoke, his huge body squirmed forward, his eyes looking straight over, as if he was looking for someone to devour.
"Fat corpse, come at me if you have anything to say. Don't pick on the weak." Zhao Yuanba took the words and sneered directly: "The things you sell are all crappy goods that cannot be put on the market. Don't you know it yourself? ?The market has been about survival of the fittest since ancient times. If you don’t have a good source of goods, it’s your own problem. Do you still have to blame Brother Song for the quality of his goods?”
"Zhao Yuanba, are you trying to show off your strength?" Fatty asked with big mung bean eyes.
Zhao Yuanba responded simply: "How about we continue fighting?"
For some reason, the irritable fat man fell silent after hearing this, and even changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
Zhao Yuanba thought that Fat Corpse was cowarded, so he continued: "Fat Corpse, you can only be incompetent and furious. In the Longshan settlement, I have more money and more people than you. If you want to continue beating me, I will always accompany you." .”
Zhao Yuanba spoke loudly and his attitude was as strong as ever. Song Ziyu couldn't help but shout "good luck"!
"Didn't we agree to come to peace talks? Why are we quarreling again? Can't we talk calmly? Why do we insist on being harsh?" Ma Senming said to mediate.
Zhao Yuanba grinned and said: "I don't have to give face to a little loser like Fat Corpse, but Brother Ma, you must give it to me. Brother Ma, you set up the bureau, so you can negotiate how you want."
Ma Senming looked at the fat corpse and saw that the fat man was silent, so he looked at Tian Yue again.
Tian Yue, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Ma has a thin face and is embarrassed to speak, so I will just be a sounding board... Of course what Brother Ma means is also what we both mean."
"Um?"
Zhao Yuanba heard something wrong with the tone and couldn't help but ask: "Tian Yue, what do you want to say?"
There was no expression on Tian Yuefang's face, he just raised his right index finger and said: "First, Zhao Yuanba, you have to compensate for the loss of Fat Corpse."
"Nonsense!" Zhao Yuanba shook his mustache and stood up immediately.
"Sit down, sit down, it's not too late to wait until Xiaotian finishes speaking before getting angry." Ma Senming greeted.
Zhao Yuanba sat down slowly, but his face was already very ugly.
Tian Yue didn't care about this, he raised his second finger and continued: "Second, Zhao Yuanba, you need to compensate for the damage to the burned street, including Brother Ma's shop."
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanba quickly calmed down and his eyes became colder and colder. This was not what mediation should be like.
"You have a third request, right?" Zhao Yuanba said coldly.
"Third, give me your favorite woman, Xiao Hongli." Tian Yue said.
Zhao Yuanba laughed angrily, but then Tian Yue said again: "The fourth and most important point! Zhao Yuanba, hand over all your goods including this guy named Song Ziyu!"
Song Ziyu was shocked and found that the atmosphere was tense.
Zhao Yuanba's sneer expression has become stiff!
"Why?" Zhao Yuanba asked.
At this time, Ma Senming finally spoke: "I can guarantee you a life and let you leave the Longshan settlement."
"Okay! The three of you have colluded together." Zhao Yuanba realized it later and let out a low roar like a wild beast.
