Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 603 Alley Lipstick Shadow

Hearing old man Bai's words, I was also drunk at the time, but I suddenly woke up and asked vigilantly, "Did you hear something?"

Old man Bai said: "No, just tell me if you know Ye Fuguo."

I nodded and said I recognized him. I had met him before, but we knew him, but he ignored us at all.

The old man Bai picked up the small wine glass, took a sip, took a deep breath, and then said: "I have to mention something to you, Ye Fuguo is the son of our old leader, and his relationship with the upper class is very good. Strong, whether it is in the * or * * system, they all have strong connections. If he really has a problem with you, you can either find a way to reconcile with him, or find a way to disappear from his sight Otherwise, it will be very troublesome..."

When I heard it, I said helplessly, "Master, to be honest, I haven't had any contact with him at all. Where did I provoke him?"

The white old man blushed, stared at me, and said, "You really don't know?"

I shook my head and said yes, I really don't know.

The old man Bai hiccupped and said, "You don't know, so naturally I don't know either..."

His words made me feel irritable when I had let go, and at this time, Ma Yi'ao told the old man about what happened before, especially about Hemu and all the things surrounding Hemu. out.

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Uncle Bai, according to what you said, is it possible that Zou Guodong was instigated by Ye Fuguo to hide Dong XZ and deliberately not give it to Hou Zi?"

After hearing this, the old man squinted his eyes and said, "Although the evil tree has a great effect on the little monkey, why do you think that others should give you things?"

Ma Yi'ao said: "This matter is related to Hou Zi's life."

The old man Bai said: "Yes, but so what? It's none of Zou Guodong's business—for example, you have uremia, kidney failure, and then you are about to burp, and then there is a kidney in front of you If you qualify for a transplant, you have to have someone else transplant your kidney to you, otherwise it will be a vengeance?"

Ma Yi'ao smiled wryly, "You're changing the concept secretly."

But the old man Bai continued: "First of all, your anger just now is a bit inexplicable, which belongs to the wrong three views."

I raised my hand and said, "Master, you misunderstood——First of all, we have repeatedly detoured about this matter, whether it is Director Tian's request or Elder Xin's dealings, we all adopt a moderate approach, hoping to solve the problem through communication , and did not resort to violence to forcibly ask for it; secondly, after knowing the result of the matter, we were only angry at Zou Guodong's deception, but did not do anything to him, nor did we want to go to him to get back the situation; thirdly, that A piece of wood carving is not Zou Guodong's kidney, it is not even of any use to him, but it will bring him bad luck..."

Hearing my words, the old man Bai smiled.

He stopped arguing with us, but said: "I am very pleased to hear from you-you finally understand some of the rules in this industry, which is very good. In fact, in the eyes of many people, behavior is not The important thing is that you have to abide by the rules, and those who break the rules will always be resisted by everyone, even if you are surrounded by someone like Director Arita, you won't be able to go for long."

Only then did Ma Yi'ao realize that the old man Bai didn't really think that way, but let us understand the mentality of some people.

He said: "Uncle Bai, that evil wood, for Hou Zi, is determined to win, because there is no such thing as a medicine to make him break through the barrier and awaken as a real night walker. Maybe in a year or two, he may be able to get it because of his genetics." Crashed and completely collapsed - after all, he and you are old friends, can you give me a trick?"

The old man Bai glared at Ma Yi'ao, and said, "Old friends? I handed our family Liu Na to you two little bastards, but in the end you handed over to someone else to take over. Why should I help you?"

Cough, cough...

Old man Bai's question made both of us a little embarrassed.

Especially Ma Yi'ao, he touched his nose subconsciously, and then said: "Grandpa, look at our two troubled guys, which one is suitable for Liu Na's parents and love for children? Liu Na followed us, the whole time I live a life of fear and fear, is this what you want?"

While talking, he obediently poured wine for old man Bai.

The old man Bai drank a cup, breathed out the alcohol and said, "If I didn't see that she is living happily now, I would want to cut you both."

Enough beating, he took another bite of the side dish, said while eating: "Actually, your story has spread in the circle. As for the truth, everyone is guessing, but one thing is certain, that is Zou Guodong This thing is indeed a little too much. Even if he doesn't have the beauty of an adult, he can exchange it at an equivalent value. If he does this, everyone will feel very stiff. In the land of the capital, there are not only Tianji Department, but also Ye Fuguo and others. The second-generation children, as well as us old guys, and those who are not born in the world - I will help you two pay attention, and if there is news, let us know as soon as possible."

We were all relieved to hear his statement.

It was only at this moment that I realized that even though the old man Bai looked like a commoner, and he was old and unscrupulous, the strength behind him should not be underestimated.

At the same time, I feel more and more in awe of this place in the capital.

Hidden dragon and crouching tiger are indeed true.

After drinking a meal until midnight, the old man was almost drunk, so we said our goodbyes.

The old man didn't want to stop us, he didn't even care that we hadn't left the house yet, he started drinking madly, hugged the little woman who was dozens of years younger than him, and was about to go to the bedroom to give her some prestige and power.

He was so unrestrained, which made Ma Yi'ao and I quite embarrassed, and ran out of his house as if we were running away.

Walking into the alley, I couldn't help saying: "Old man Bai's posture is a bit like that of a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he has a real temperament."

Ma Yi'ao also laughed, saying that he had understood, if life is all restrained, well-behaved, submissive, then what's the point of living?
I said you also understand?
Ma Yi'ao shrugged his shoulders, he said that's right, it's just that you didn't understand it, and you still don't know what you want to do - you are obviously a great sage equal to heaven, but you have become an ascetic monk.

It’s been a long time since I chatted so wildly with Ma Yi’ao, and it’s also been a long time since I’ve had such a good time drinking. Compared to the old man’s drunkenness, although the two of us were drunk, we still kept our heads clear. So we chatted, said many things, and then walked around in this alley.

Back then, the hutongs in the old capital were not as protected and developed as later generations, there were fewer tourists, and the commercial atmosphere was not strong. Instead, it was suitable for people to walk and chat.

Ma Yi'ao and I walked aimlessly, and then started chatting about things in the capital.

Ma Yi'ao told me that Jinmen a hundred years ago, the magic capital half a century ago, and the capital today are all places where dragons and tigers are hidden.

Why do you say that?
In fact, to put it in one sentence, it is called "the small hermit hides in the wild, the middle hides in the city, and the big hermit hides in the court".

The reason for this is very similar to a philosophy that China has been promoting throughout the ages, which is called "cultivating one's morality, regulating the family, governing the country and the world."

This is Confucianism, but it is also the philosophy of many practitioners after they have reached a certain height.

Even the Nightcrawler family, which desperately needs to be hidden, has people who are willing to take root here, such as Qiu Qianqiu, Ouyang Jiangshan, Xue Mazi and others.

The same goes for other people.

These people seem to be gentle and kind on weekdays, inconspicuous, but when they really show their strength, they are terrifying.

But although Ma Yi'ao spent his college life here, he didn't blend in after all.

So he doesn't know much about the things inside.

Old man Bai's place may be a very good bridge.

The evening wind was blowing, and we were walking on the road. At this time, a red figure suddenly walked out from the entrance of the alley. Ma Yi'ao was drunk and looked up, but he couldn't help but took a breath, and stood in front of me all of a sudden. , then blocked me and asked, "Hou Zi, you haven't drunk too much, have you?"

I felt something strange, reached out and pushed him away, only then did I feel the red figure at the entrance of the alley, with a natural sense of oppression.

This kind of power is hard to see from others.

Who is this person?
I was so frightened that I sobered up, feeling that the strength of the man in front of me was terrifying. With Ma Yi'ao and I in the state, he might not be the opponent of the opponent, so I subconsciously looked around, thinking about how to escape.

And Ma Yi'ao was also tense all over, feeling like he was about to run away.

At this moment, the woman in red in front came slowly, and when Ma Yi'ao and I felt that the other party had entered our safe distance and was about to run wildly, the other party suddenly said, "Brother Ma, I want to I want to talk to Brother Hou Mo alone, is that okay?"
