What a beautiful white lotus

In fact, the name Zhong Qianshan had already been mentioned once when Mr. Huang was there, Ye Rongqiu felt it was familiar, but he didn't think about it further.Now that the black dog said it again, he thought about it seriously, and suddenly remembered a bunch of messy things: About ten years ago, the Zhong family was a big family in Chongqing, and they were doing a business of selling goods.Later, Zhong Qianshan, the head of the Zhong family, became addicted to gambling and opium, and refused to leave the goods. In just three to five years, the huge family business was wiped out, and even the ancestral house was sold.Because in the early days, the big families in Chongqing came and went from those few families, and each family married girls and boys, and the big families could draw some kinship.Ye Rongqiu remembered that he had an eldest cousin and a cousin both named Zhong, and he couldn't count how many detours there were.

Ye Rongqiu also had an impression of Zhong Qianshan. There was a period of time when the Zhong family had business contacts with the Ye family, so Zhong Qianshan frequently went in and out of the Ye family during those few months.He remembered that Zhong Qianshan was not very old at that time, only in his thirties, with a fair face, tall stature, and good spirits, which was very eye-catching in Chongqing, a place where young men were born.Ye Rongqiu was only about ten years old at that time, and many people he met are forgotten now, and the reason why he can remember Zhong Qianshan's appearance is because according to his seniority, he had to call Zhong Qianshan "cousin grandpa".That was his youngest cousin.In this way, if Heigou is really Zhong Qianshan's son, then it is not wrong to call him nephew in terms of seniority.Ye Rongqiu met Zhong Qianshan once later, and if Ye Huachun hadn't reminded him that time, he almost didn't recognize him: the Zhong Qianshan at that time was completely different from the first time he saw him. When he was ten years old, his white skin turned blue, and he was so thin that he lost his human shape. He knew that it was caused by Zhong Qianshan smoking opium.Later, the Zhong family collapsed, and Ye Rongqiu never heard any news about the Zhong family.

Thinking of this, Ye Rongqiu's face changed slightly.He originally thought that Heigou came from a poor and lowly family, and that he lacked the upbringing of his parents since he was a child, so he embarked on this path, but he never expected that Heigou had such a background.He hesitated and said, "I remember... It seems that more than ten years ago, the Zhong family..."

The black dog said: "It wasn't more than ten years ago, it was seven years ago. My father was so addicted to smoking opium that he ruined the family's business. The century-old ancestral house was sold, and my mother hanged herself in the house. My aunt was sold by him, and several of my younger brothers and sisters either died of illness and starvation, or they were also sold by him. I was the eldest son, and I was already 12 years old at that time, so I ran out by myself."

Ye Rongqiu stared blankly at Hei Gou, he thought that Hei Gou should be very sad when he said this, but Hei Gou didn't, his tone was understated, but his eyes were slightly out of focus.

The black dog put the cigarette butt deep out of the window, flicked the ash outside, and said: "When I was young, our family was also prosperous. My mother's family was an official in the Qing Dynasty. She is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, and the family rules are strict. , she has a good personality. When I was young, there were seven or eight people who waited on me in the house, not to mention going in and out. What I wanted was handed to the palm of my hand as soon as I stretched out my hand. Once because a servant didn't Listening to my words made me cry, my mother had him crippled and thrown out of the house. There are few people around me who are older than me, so at that time I was very..." He seemed unable to think He didn't know what words to use to describe it, and looked at Ye Rongqiu with "just like you" eyes: "So I said, you are like me before. At that time, I thought that being rich and powerful was nothing special, and everyone should be in awe of me. I've been a head taller than others since I was born."

After Ye Rongqiu was born, the Ye family gradually went downhill. When he was the most extravagant, there were only four servants in the room, which was actually no better than the black dog.Furthermore, he was tricked by the black dog into his hidden thoughts. He glanced at the sloppy black dog, felt a little uncomfortable, and explained guiltily: "I never thought about it! Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart." belly!" After a pause, he asked again, "Then how did you become Huang Sanye's subordinate?"

Heigou said: "At that time, Huang San was already well-known in Chongqing. He started out selling opium. Seven years ago, he swallowed up all the Zhong family's property, and then he really became the leader and became a real real person in Chongqing. A big man who is calling the wind and calling the rain." He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, "I ran out alone when I was 12 years old. I was a beggar, a thief, a thief, and everything. I It took only one month to overthrow all my notions and thoughts of the past 12 years, and I understood the principles of this world." However, E Niang said at that time that it took him a month to understand The real truth in the world has lost his real soul.The black dog continued: "I joined Huang San's gang when I was 15 years old, and that's it."

Ye Rongqiu couldn't help frowning: "Don't you hate Huang San? If I were you, he really killed me to the point of ruining this family. Even if I die with him, I must kill him, but you let him go."

The black dog shrugged: "Hate is also hate, but I hate my father even more. Huang San brought him into contact with marijuana and the habit of gambling, but he didn't force him with a gun. After all, he voluntarily. You said that the thing I hate the most in this world is the guy who drags others down."

Ye Rongqiu still remembered this sentence.He thought of seeing the black dog chopping off a gambler's finger that day at Mr. Huang's place. The black dog was so straightforward, calm and cruel. At that time, Ye Rongqiu thought he was scary, but now he can understand.He felt sympathy for the black dog's life experience, but that sympathy was not painful, after all, he had never experienced these things himself - and he didn't think these things would happen to him.

Ye Rongqiu said: "It's really not easy for you..."

The black dog opened his mouth and smiled: "It's nothing difficult, it's just a different way of life. I used to think that I couldn't live without wealth, but later I found that it doesn't matter to live a humble life. It's all about living, but the vision is different. That’s all. Some things are gone if they are gone. Ups and downs, profit and loss are the laws of nature, and cannot be forced.”

Ye Rongqiu spread his hands to express his sympathy.

The black dog didn't appreciate his sympathy at all, and smiled coldly: "Your heart is quite similar to mine at that time. So I want to follow you and see how desperate the second young master of your Ye family will be. "

Ye Rongqiu immediately put on a serious face, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart.Now that the Zhong family has collapsed, the black dog said that he is like him before. Could it be that he cursed the Ye family to be like the Zhong family?He snorted and said, "My father and brother are both upright gentlemen. They are not good at gambling or being poisonous. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

The black dog stared straight into his eyes, making Ye Rongqiu feel uncomfortable, and took the initiative to look away, and he couldn't help laughing.He wanted to say that back then, none of us believed that such a large family business could be said to be gone. We thought that if we were born noble, we would be rich for a lifetime, and we did not fall to this point.But he didn't say it out, if he continued, the bad-tempered Second Young Master Ye would really lose his face.He said: "Nephew, I have nothing to do with your Ye family, but you are very interesting."

Ye Rongqiu snorted angrily: "Don't call me nephew. You can call my nickname Maoshi."

The black dog smiled: "Master Ye Er."

Ye Rongqiu said, "What's your real name?" It seemed inappropriate to call him a dog, and he didn't want to be called Xiao Hei like Mr. Huang, so it was really difficult to call him a black dog.

The black dog said: "It's an insult to my family's name, so I won't mention it. If you want to respect it, just call me uncle."

Ye Rongqiu snorted heavily, and simply turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, ignoring the black dog.He felt that his cousin... No, the black dog is really bad, and he couldn't imagine that he was raised by a rich family.Even though he now knew about Heigou's life experience, this did not affect Ye Rongqiu's contempt for him.If he, Ye Rongqiu, falls into that situation, he will preserve his integrity even if he dies, he will not be willing to degenerate, he will never do things like stealing and robbery, and he will never do things like admitting that the thief is the master! ... No, it is impossible for his Ye family to fall into such a situation!

That night, they settled down in a hotel in the county seat.

Ye Rongqiu didn't sleep well all night, thinking about the black dog all the time.This guy, the black dog, was really beyond his expectations.It would be wrong to say that he hates Heigou. Heigou just has a bad attitude, but his nature is not bad, and the scene before E Niang's death is always imprinted in his mind. Mother said that the nature of Heigou is more kind than many people, I don't know why, but I believed it; but if I like Heigou, it is absolutely impossible, although this guy saved me twice, but every time he used rude words Come to destroy the good image he had so easily built in his heart, making people want to stay away from him.

Early the next morning, the three of them had breakfast together in the lobby of the hotel.

Ye Rongqiu thought about it all night, and he couldn't go down with the black dog. He allocated ten oceans from the road bill to thank him for his kindness, and said goodbye to him.He was afraid that if he got along with the black dog for a long time, he would spoil his upbringing and become airtight.

However, before Ye Rongqiu could politely speak, the black dog grabbed a bun and jumped into the car first, and urged by the car window, "Hurry up and get on the road."

Ye Rongqiu walked to the side of the car, and said politely and distantly: "Our group is planning to go to Wuhan, you..."

Before he finished speaking, the black dog interjected: "I know, let's go early, it's a bad day, it's going to rain soon." He added, "I heard from my mother that she grew up in Wuhan when she was young, I've never been there."

With one sentence, all Ye Rongqiu's words were stuffed back into his stomach, and he obediently ate his breakfast and got in the car to let Ah Fei drive.

Originally, it took four or five days to drive from Chongqing to Wuhan. However, they did not expect that they encountered a few days of heavy rain. The weather was bad and the roads were muddy. It took them three days to walk for less than half the distance. , has just stepped into the territory of Hubei.

On the fourth day, the rain finally stopped, and Ah Fei speeded up and drove on the road. However, not long after he was on the road, the car suddenly jolted, and Ye Rongqiu, who was dozing in the back compartment, threw himself into the arms of the black dog.He sat up annoyed and said angrily, "How did you drive the car?"

The black dog yawned indifferently, Ah Fei hurriedly apologized to his young master with a smile, and stepped on the gas pedal wildly, but their car didn't move at all after stepping on it for a long time, and the people in the car gradually panicked.

The black dog stretched his waist and said: "Is the wheel stuck in the mud? If you can't drive, just get out of the car and push it." After speaking, he opened the car door and jumped down.

Ah Fei also got out of the car and ran to the back of the car to check.Because of the heavy rain a few days ago, there was a lot of water on the road, and there was a hole in the mud, which happened to get the tire stuck.

Ye Rongqiu sat in the car and asked, "A Fei, can I go?"

Ah Fei said in embarrassment: "Master, I can't drive it, I have to be pushed."

So Ye Rongqiu also jumped out of the car, and stood cleanly aside: "Then you quickly push out the car, drive quickly, don't stop here."

The black dog didn't say anything, just rolled up his sleeves and got on with Ah Fei.

The car was a clumsy thing of iron, and the wheels were so sunken that the two young men could only push it up a little with a lot of effort, and then it slid back down as soon as the effort was relieved.After a few times, they found that they were not strong enough to free the car from the mud.However, no one called Ye Rongqiu to help, A Fei didn't dare to call, and the black dog knew that he would not help if he was called.

The black dog went to the side and found a dry place to sit down, lit a cigarette: "Forget it, wait for someone to pass by and call for help."

Ye Rongqiu had no choice but to stand on the side of the car and rest against the body.

However, Ah Fei took a shortcut, which was also a remote path. The road condition was not very good, and no one passed by it.After waiting for half an hour, Ye Rongqiu was a little annoyed, and began to blame Ah Fei for choosing such a road, and why he drove the car into the mud.The black dog had nothing to do, so he admired the appearance of Second Young Master Ye angrily accusing his subordinates with great interest.

At this moment, a mass of human heads suddenly appeared in front of them.

The black dog saw it first, jumped up from the ground, looked around for a while, and said, "It seems that the army is passing by here."

Ye Rongqiu said to Ah Fei: "Go and ask some soldiers to help you."

A Fei quickly responded.
