Creak...
The scraping sound of the doorpost, which I usually didn't pay much attention to, was particularly harsh at night.
Luo Heng breathed out quietly.
Instead of opening the door, he turned around and took two quick steps.
He jumped up and climbed onto the wall.
Just when he was about to turn over, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the corridor to the side...
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness of the corridor and walked under the dim moonlight.
"This is your own home. You can't go through the main entrance where you want to go? Are you going to jump over the wall?"
Chen Shi's rather playful voice came.
Luo Heng grinned and simply jumped back into the courtyard.
He smiled and said, "Master Chen, why haven't you slept yet? I'm going out to do some errands..."
As he was talking, he suddenly felt something.
Turn your head and look in the other direction.
Ma San walked out expressionlessly and asked directly: "What did you find in Jinlou?"
Luo Heng couldn't help but sigh. These two people were both veterans and had rich experience. They were calm when they came back before.
Unexpectedly, they have actually discovered anomalies.
Luo Heng simply did not hide anything and told him about the Japanese people he found in Jinlou.
After Luo Heng finished speaking, Ma San asked, "What do you want to do when you go over now?"
Luo Heng's eyes were cold and stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Those people are colluding with Xiao Dongying. Of course I will go over and kill them to eliminate traitors for the country!"
Chen Shi frowned and said, "I have heard of Uncle Deng Jinlou's reputation before.
"He used to be the chief inspector in the Huangputan Concession, but he was famous for his integrity and uprightness.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding about this matter. It's best to investigate and ask clearly."
Luo Heng nodded: "I don't want to kill people directly. I will definitely ask first."
Ding Lianshan is the senior senior disciple of Bagua Sect, and Ma San is the current senior disciple of Xingyi Sect.
Under the auspices of Gong Baosen, the two schools of Bagua, Xingyi and Xingyi have long been merged.
Ding Lianshan is Ma San's great uncle.
This matter seems to be related to Ding Lianshan's safety.
Naturally, he couldn't just sit back and watch, and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll go with you..."
Luo Heng shook his head and said: "Your injury has not healed yet. Although it does not affect your movement, it will be inconvenient if you really use your hands."
Ma San wants to say something more.
But Chen Shi said, "I'd better go with you. My injury is almost healed."
Luo Heng still shook his head: "I can go alone, but I don't necessarily need to do anything.
"The problem now is that if that group of people really wants to betray Senior Ding, we can't contact them and it's a bit troublesome."
Ma San's eyes flickered slightly and hesitantly said: "Actually, I have a way to deliver the message to the great uncle..."
Luo Heng grinned: "Okay, I'll go over and find out now. If those guys really colluded with the Japanese, you can remind Senior Ding."
Chen Shi and Ma San were indeed not fully recovered from their injuries.
He could only watch Luo Heng jump over the wall and leave.
The night is already dark.
The nightlife these days is not as good as in later generations.
The streets of Foshan were deserted. Luo Heng walked along without encountering any accidents.
Soon we arrived near the Golden Tower.
After a little observation.
Go around to the backyard, choose the location where you jumped over the wall last time, and climb into the backyard using a familiar path.
The moment he landed, he immediately looked towards the kitchen.
Unfortunately, the figure who was basking in the sun last time did not appear...
Following his memory, he entered the Golden Building from the inner passage that Third Sister took him through last time.
With Luo Heng's current hearing ability.
You can faintly hear the transactions going on in some rooms upstairs between overnight guests and night shift technicians...
It seems business is good.
Special industry, the lights in the upstairs corridor are still on.
The light came through, which made it easier for Luo Heng to do things.
Soon he touched the area near the third sister's room.
He raised his hand and tried it. The door made a slight creaking sound and slowly opened a crack...
You didn't lock the door so late at night?
Luo Heng was stunned for a moment, then simply ducked into the room.
Looking towards the bed covered with thick linen, he found that the quilts on the bed were neatly folded.
and no one...
I originally thought that the other party seemed to have some connection with my father, so I could ask for some news.
I couldn't find anyone, so I had to find another way...
I was about to turn around and go out.
Suddenly alert, his feet slipped and he ducked to the side.
Then he saw a strong wind blowing out from behind the door.
Take it straight to your own throat...
Luo Heng dodged quickly enough to get out of the way of this sudden blow.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand, and a pistol appeared in his palm. He shouted in a low voice: "Don't move. If you move again, shoot..."
The figure who was about to continue attacking paused.
Surprised: "Luo Heng?"
Now Luo Heng also heard that this person was the third sister.
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Third sister, you didn't sleep so late at night. You just scared me."
The third sister said angrily: "Why don't you sleep in a woman's room this late at night? You're too ridiculous for a brat, but I..."
At this point, his words suddenly stopped and he asked: "What do you want to do, kid? You're not so impatient that you want to take advantage of my mother's ideas, right?"
Luo Hengtan smiled and quietly put away the gun.
"Third sister, I came to you to inquire about something..."
The third sister said in a bad tone: "What can't you say during the day? Why do you want to come here at this time?"
Luo Heng knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he simply said directly: "I was just in Jinlou and saw a group of Japanese people discussing some kind of deal with Uncle Deng.
"Third sister, please tell me directly, has the old guy colluded with the Japanese?"
"Lao Deng is your father's brother after all. You should be respectful when you speak. And let me tell you, kid, Lao Deng may be a bit old-fashioned in his actions.
"But in this regard, I can guarantee that he cannot be cooperating with the Japanese, let alone a traitor."
Under the light coming from outside the corridor, the third sister walked to the table.
He raised his hand and turned on the light in the room.
Zi Gu sat at the table and glared at Luo Heng.
He continued: "I'm quite happy that you actually thought of coming to me for questioning."
Luo Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "In this golden building, if I choose someone I can trust, you, third aunt, are of course the first."
When the third sister heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled: "You know how to talk, but if Lao Deng is really a traitor willing to collude with Japanese people, he wouldn't have come to Foshan.
"If he had been willing to bow his head and be his own detective comfortably, wouldn't it be better to stay in Shanghai than in Foshan?"
Luo Heng said suspiciously: "I personally saw him upstairs, flirting with Japanese people, and chatting happily..."
"This matter is no secret in Jinlou. In fact, it started when your father was still here."
The third sister took out a pack of cigarettes on the table.
He struck a match and lit one, and said quietly: "When the Japanese people first came to Foshan, they wanted to open a Japanese-style Fengyue Restaurant.
"But the business of Foshan's flower industry is all in our hands. If they want to get involved, of course they can't.
"Then they changed their minds and approached Lao Deng directly, wanting to finance the purchase of Jinlou and take over the business.
"Of course it was impossible for Lao Deng to sell Jinlou. He flatly refused at first. The Japanese people never gave up. They came to visit every now and then.
"Recently, a little Japanese named San came here. The group of people he brought with him must be from the military. He has a guy on his waist and his words are getting tougher and tougher..."
Luo Hengqi said: "Why did they buy Jinlou? They put so much effort into it, couldn't they just be the shopkeeper of the hall?"
The third sister rolled her eyes: "I don't know, this building can't be sold anyway.
"Lao Deng is dragging it with them. He has already sent the letter to Shanghai. Regardless of the business in Foshan, it seems that we are in charge.
"Actually, the big boss who provided the money is in Shanghai. This matter can only be left to Shanghai to resolve.
"By the way, aren't you going to do something for the Gong family? I believe you will meet Boss Du this time."
Luo Heng curled his lips.
I will definitely go to Shanghai, but it’s hard to say whether I can see the guy named Du...
The third sister took a deep breath from her cigarette and added, "I never thought that a ridiculous boy like you has a sense of justice.
"What? You barged in at night, carrying a gun. Do you want to be a righteous man who eliminates traitors?"
Luo Heng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Isn't this where I come to ask you for information?"
He spread his hands and said, "Actually, I just wanted to scare you. Even if I had a gun, I wouldn't be able to use it."
The third sister looked at him suspiciously and found that there was indeed no place to hide a gun on his body.
Could it be that the light was dim just now and I saw it wrong?
Luo Heng chuckled quietly.
The gun has long been put back in the backpack space, and now it is impossible to find it even if you take off all your clothes.
"Now that the news is confirmed, I won't disturb your rest and will go back first."
After talking about the matter, Luo Hengpo felt a little embarrassed.
Get ready to run away immediately.
The third sister stared at him and said nothing.
After leaving the room, Luo Heng returned the same way.
When he arrived at the boxing gym, he simply didn't open the door and continued to jump over the wall to enter.
As soon as they landed, they saw Ma San and Chen Shi already waiting.
"How about it?"
Ma San immediately asked.
Luo Heng shook his head: "The news I inquired about is that the Japanese want to buy the Jinlou, but the people like Lao Deng refuse, and the two sides are arguing."
Ma San frowned and said: "This is actually the style of the Japanese people. They used to be like this in the Northeast.
“In the beginning, under the guise of doing business, I bought shop properties here and there, but in fact it was just to establish contact points.
"As long as there is any business, once it is taken over by the Japanese, the entire industry will soon be owned by the Japanese. All the colleagues will be squeezed out and persecuted by them in various ways, and the business will not be able to continue. If they are targeted and do not sell, I am afraid it will not work. …”
Luo Heng nodded: "But I can't believe it. You can think of a way to remind your senior uncle later so that the seniors can pay more attention."
Of course Luo Heng would not believe the third sister's words so easily.
In fact, I talked with Liu Rui last time, and I learned more and more about my father's past.
Gradually, I gained some understanding of Lao Deng and his gang.
Luo Heng was not willing to believe that, as a person who was unwilling to bow to the ghosts in the concession and colluded with those people, he would rather give up his high position and remain anonymous, living in seclusion in Foshan for decades.
As I got older, my temper changed.
Lao Deng's behavior towards the original owner was actually a typical feudal style of paternalism.
In this era, there are many family elders in China who behave like him...
Luo Heng's soul came from the later generations and expressed that he could not accept such people interfering in his life.
But this is the limitation of the times.
Not to mention in this era when the last feudal dynasty has just collapsed.
Even in later generations, there are still so many parents who enroll their children in interest classes, skill classes, tutoring classes, etc. If their children show resistance at all, they will just preach...
It’s not easy to make money, but it’s all for your future…
In fact, there is really no difference between the two. Strong interference and rigid arrangements. As long as I am doing it for your own good, if you don't agree, it means you are ignorant.
“That’s all we can do, but the Japanese and warlords have been pursuing us for many years.
"Uncle's ability to be safe and sound is due to his abilities. Maybe we don't need to remind him..."
Ma San nodded and thought thoughtfully.
Luo Heng also thought it made sense.
Ding Lianshan is known as the Ghost of the Northeast, not because of his weird methods, but because his whereabouts are a mystery and difficult to grasp.
After so many years, I believe that not everyone he meets can be upright.
What kind of betrayal and betrayal, maybe I have experienced it countless times...
The three of them went back to rest.
When Luo Heng opened the door, his nose suddenly moved and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He quietly lowered his hand and stood at the door, hesitating for a moment.
Bah!
In the dark room, a little red light suddenly lit up...
It showed a face like a pig's kidney, with a bright smile packed with folds.
"Good vigilance. Are you tired from going back and forth all night? Take a few puffs?"
Luo Heng let out a long breath.
He smiled and said: "Senior Ding, your whereabouts are so elusive that you can scare people to death..."
Ding Lianshan raised his hand and handed over a cigarette.
He smiled and said, "Young man has a good heart and is a talented person. I heard from Er Yatou that you want to see me. I didn't plan to see you again so soon."
"The time is too short. I feel that you are unlikely to understand what I said that day."
Luo Heng did not refuse this time, silently took the cigarette and played with it in his hand.
He smiled and said, "The two sitting outside are considered top masters in the world. How do you always hide it from them?"
Ding Lianshan shook his head, flashing the fireworks in his mouth.
"Let's not mention this for now. Why are you so anxious to see me?"
Luo Heng calmed down.
He asked seriously: "Senior, after I came back that day, I thought about what you said carefully.
"I can probably understand the so-called boxing training in the form, which means boxing routines. If you want to become famous, you must first follow the routines and practice each move to become proficient. But I am a little confused about the strength of training in people. This I have been exploring the techniques of An Jin for a few days.
"I always feel as if I'm missing the mark. I know I've mastered it, but sometimes it doesn't work. I can't push Youxin, so I'd like to ask my senior to help me clarify my doubts..."
Ding Lianshan lit a match, and a flame suddenly lit up.
Holding it in one hand, he approached Luo Heng.
He smiled and said, "Let me ask you where your strength comes from?"
Luo Heng subconsciously puffed on his cigarette and moved forward until the cigarette was lit.
He took a sip out of habit.
I didn't pay attention to the cigarettes at this time, because they didn't have filters, so they were a bit choking.
Cough cough cough cough...
Ding Lianshan threw the match and didn't say anything. He just smoked cigarette quietly and looked at Luo Heng.
After all, Luo Heng is an old smoker.
Cough a few times and get used to it.
Then he pondered: "When it comes to strength, I know that Baji talks about eating the roots and burying the roots. The so-called roots are under the feet. Strength comes from the roots, which means it rises from the feet on the ground, passes through the leg bones and spine, layer by layer. transfer……"
Ding Lianshan smiled and shook his head slightly: "That's right, but it's also wrong..."
