Late at night, Dengyun Mountain is quiet. With things to talk about during the day, everyone's heart is alive. There are those who have hidden their own wine and meat. As if it is a happy event, they take out their stocks to share with those around them. , eating, drinking, playing and having fun, just like a festival.
But this joyful atmosphere was isolated from Zou Yuan's house.
It was another bright moonlit night, the forest breeze in the mountains was cool, and the pine waves were bursting. Zou Yuan closed the window tightly. There were two strong men standing outside the door, with red scarves tied on their heads, a gun in his right hand, and a gun in his left hand. Pressing the knife, he stood straight outside the door, staring at the dark night ahead, as if he was wary of something.
"Someone told me what happened in Bairi Village..."
Zou Yuan, who was born an idle man, loved gambling, and had a stocky figure. Known as Lin Long to people in the world, Zou Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed with an expressionless face, playing with two Chongning treasures in excellent condition in his hands.
The only oil lamp in the room only illuminated a small area. Zou Run was sitting on a chair, a little far away from Zou Yuan. The room was very dim after being cut off from the moonlight. The weak light could not illuminate Zou Yuan's face, which made him feel uncomfortable. Zou Run couldn't help but guess the deep meaning of his uncle's words.
After thinking for a moment, Zou Run said tentatively: "My nephew is ashamed. He didn't know how to handle it. He told the younger ones about this important matter without discussing it with his uncle, which caused turmoil in the village. It's my fault. Please ask uncle to punish you according to village regulations..."
"Bang!"
Before Zou Run could finish his words, Zou Yuan slapped the edge of the bed with his palm. The strong force stirred up a strong wind, blowing the oil lamp on the table and causing the light in the room to become increasingly dimmer.
"The village leader?"
The two people outside the house were startled when they heard the movement. They were stunned, but they still knocked on the door with their hands and asked. Zou Run's heart tightened, and the palms placed on his knees secretly clenched into fists.
"Get lost! We uncles and nephews can speak for themselves! What a stupid thing you are doing! Get away!"
Zou Yuan became angry. He yelled at the minions outside the house and drove them away. Zou Run became more and more nervous and restless.
"I made it clear that I am angry about what happened today!"
"But I want to make it clear that what I complain about is not the promises you made with the children. What I complain about is that you have the ability! You have ideas! But you are not the first to tell me!"
"You and I are uncles and nephews by blood! In terms of seniority, I am the uncle and you are the nephew. In terms of age, I am the eldest and you are the youngest! This village is the foundation that the two of us built together. Earlier, when the children saw that I was of higher seniority, they I was promoted to be the leader, and you became the second leader. But you have to know, I never care about this in my heart!"
"We are only two years apart. I am a rough man, but you are born with a first-class abnormality. You are obviously from an ordinary family, but you have a noble face. In the early years, several famous warlocks in my hometown said that you have The image of great wealth. You have been smarter than me since you were a child, and you are also good at reading...but...but then a tumor grew on the back of your head, and the tumor grew bigger and bigger...Since then, you have become more and more worried. His temper became increasingly weird, he stopped reading, started to use guns and sticks, acted violently everywhere, and often banged his head against a tree..."
After talking to himself, Zou Yuan suddenly cried out in aggrieved grief.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Since I have enough to eat, I can only take on the role of uncle. I will drag you up the mountain to weeds with gritted teeth, and build a foundation through life and death, so I can take good care of you."
"I have been so tired for so many years! There is not a day when I don't want to let go of this burden on my body. I often pray to the sky at night, praying that you can have a clear mind and be independent and self-reliant. For God's sake, this is a blessing in disguise! You have a tumor now. You are gone and you are better. If you have anything on your mind in the future, you can only tell me first! Then tell others, me! Me! I will... I will be really angry! "
Zou Run had already burst into tears during this intimate conversation. All the original memories were brought back to him. How could he hold back?
He immediately stood up and hugged his dear uncle, crying loudly: "I owe you to my uncle. I have given you so much hard work. From now on, the two of us will still depend on each other! Let's change, this time I will take care of you!" "
Zou Run's response was only Zou Yuan's heavy, continuous whimpering and wailing sounds buried in his sleeves.
……………………
Early the next morning, there were those who were everywhere in the front and back of Dengyun Mountain delivering orders, and all the people in the mountain came to the Juyi Hall to listen to the leader's instructions.
Not long after, after three bangs, the men of No. 89 were huddled together in front of the hall. When Zou Yuan and Zou Run heard the report that everyone had arrived, they all got up and walked hand in hand toward the outside of the hall.
"The big boss and the second boss are coming out!"
Someone with sharp eyes in the crowd shouted first, and the crowd slowly calmed down. Everyone stretched their necks and only looked at the two leaders in front of the hall.
I saw the big leader Lin Long Zou Yuan, wearing a short-sleeved chess piece cloth shorts with a collar, a pair of shorts with white stripes on his lower body, and a pair of short boots on his feet. He stood in the middle carelessly, with a confidant behind him. Carrying the folded flying tiger stick for which he is famous.
The second leader, Zou Run, stood on the left. Although the weather was hot, he was neatly dressed in a white cloth shirt with a cross-collar collar. He had a cowhide belt tied around his waist and a waist knife on his shoulder.
In front of everyone, Zou Run put one hand on his waist and held the knife with the other. His whole face was red and he was in high spirits. Especially the originally ugly tumor on the back of his head was gone. The wound had not healed yet, so he had no choice but to cut his hair short and dress up simply, but he looked very heroic and capable. Everyone looked down and secretly applauded.
Zou Yuan cleared his throat, raised his chest, and said loudly: "Young men! We have gathered everyone together today to announce a few big things! Just keep your ears open and listen!"
"The first thing is that the village will set up three hotels at the main road at the foot of the mountain, specializing in business operations and gathering information. I have discussed it with the second leader, and the people in charge of these three hotels will all be promoted to leaders!"
As soon as Zou Yuan finished speaking, a burst of thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. The "grapevine news" that had been circulating in the past few days was confirmed at this moment. Everyone realized that their cottage had great development, so everyone was beaming with joy.
"I will announce the candidates for the leader this time. Ma Bo, the leader of the Shannan Hotel! Zhao Da, the leader of the Shandong Hotel! Zhao Wu, the leader of the Shanxi Hotel! Come forward quickly and meet the brothers."
Ma Bo, Zhao Da, and Zhao Wu couldn't believe it when they heard their names in the crowd. It wasn't until everyone around them congratulated them that they were forced to stand in front of the crowd.
"You wait for the three of you to do your best, and don't let down the expectations of my uncle, nephew and brother Manshan. If you make great contributions, I, my uncle and nephew, will reward you."
Zou Yuan rarely had a smile on his face, and his tone became softer.
Among these three people, Ma Bo is the head of the kitchen, and Zhao Da and Zhao Wu are his confidants. Due to emotions and reasons, the first wave of benefits will be given to them. Firstly, these three people will be more loyal. Secondly, after these three people come down from the mountain, they will free up three good positions, and they can win over three more people. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Zou Yuan unconsciously looked at the eldest nephew beside him who was offering advice. Seeing his calm and calm appearance in front of him, Zou Yuan became more convinced of his inner thoughts.
After listening to Zou Yuan's intimate words in front of everyone, Ma Bo, Zhao Da and Zhao Wu were moved to tears. Especially Zhao Da and Zhao Wu, who cried and said: "Just don't leave me, brother." By my side, I am willing to stay and serve the village master..."
"Okay, don't act like a little girl. Pack up quickly and get ready to go down the mountain. The money and food you need were all allocated last night, and all the manpower is available. Go and do your job, and don't let us down. "
Hearing this, Zhao Da and Zhao Wu managed to hold back their tears. Ma Bo, who was more mature, persuaded him a few more words. The three of them knelt down and thanked Zou Yuan and Zou Run amid a circle of congratulations.
