Chapter 157: Ideal Career 2

The old man was also confused by the words of chasing Yuyan, so he asked, "Three, you just make it clear. Sometimes you say we are in danger, sometimes you say this is an opportunity. To be honest, I am confused by you now!"

Zhui Yuyan smiled slightly and said, "Brother, don't worry, the dangers and opportunities I mentioned are conditional. The danger is that we cannot expose Deng Long's news to anyone know, and the opportunity is under this premise. Now we will not argue about these for the time being, but we should meet the owner of this matter, Deng Long, the head of the Deng family."

The old man nodded, and then said in confusion: "But that Deng Long seems to be unable to remember anything. We have also tried to ask him some questions these days, but he always shakes his head!"

Zhui Yuyan smiled and said, 'Brother, don't talk about him Deng Long, even when strangers ask me about it, I won't tell my life easily, let alone Deng Long, who is he? That's a well-known person. Once such a person is under the control of others, the best way to protect himself is to not know anything! I have also heard of Deng Long in Shangling, and I roughly understand his character, so if we want him to speak, the only thing we can use is our sincerity!"

The old man pondered for a moment, then patted the table gently and said, "Okay! In this way, the third brother and I will meet him, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother, all you have to do is keep this secret. If it is leaked, it will be very dangerous for everyone in our village to copy it."

"Yes! Big Brother!" The three people who were named answered in unison.

After that, the old man and Zhui Yuyan went straight to the house where I lived.

When they came, I was lying on the bed and was so bored that I counted how many thatched grass was on the roof.

There is indeed a lot of thatch on the roof. When I counted 100, I found that my eyes were sore and swelling. Then I closed my eyes for a while, and thought that the roof was a tiled, it would be very easy to count!

And at this moment, the door was pushed open, and the old man who often came to see me came in with a middle-aged man.

I glanced slightly. The expression on my face immediately changed into a dull face, and my eyes became even less energetic. Pretending to be stupid is the rule of self-protection.

After the two walked in, they were obviously stunned by the expression on my face, and then they looked at each other, and the old man sat next to the bed with a stool.

As soon as he sat down, he shouted: "Deng Long!"

I was completely unprepared for what he said. He always asked me for my name when he came in, but I never said it. This time he suddenly called my name. Even though I was mentally prepared, I was shocked by what he said and my body shook gently. A little surprised expression appeared on his face.

When the old man saw my reaction, he immediately understood that I had reacted to these two words, and he should not have said that I could not remember anything like Bajie reported to him, so he continued, "Don't pretend, I know you have no amnesia. And you should be very clear-headed except that your body cannot move."

"Nonsense!" I said to myself, "Would you like to tell you that I am Deng Long immediately?"

I am indeed grateful for the old man who saved me. But I know that my identity is very sensitive and I don’t want anyone to use me to threaten the chamber of commerce. So I must keep a certain degree of caution towards anyone.

Seeing that I ignored him, the old man seemed a little surprised. After looking at me carefully, he continued to say, "I know you are wary of us, but please believe it. We do not have malice. From the ring on your hand, we have known that you are Deng Long for a long time. But so far, except for a few of us who know your true identity, we all think you are dead. If we want to betray you, we don't have to wait until now!"

The rain-chasing geese beside him saw that I still ignored them, so they said to the old man, "Brother, let me say it!"

The old man nodded. He stood up, and the chasing rain geese sat on the chair.

As soon as he sat down, he opened the folding fan in his hand, shook it slightly, and then smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My nickname is Zhui Yuyan, and I am the third leader of the entire village."

I didn’t have any expression. So what about the third leader? Do I have to pay attention to you?

Seeing that I ignored him, he was not anxious and smiled and said, "We did not have any malice in this time. I just wanted to talk to the head of the Deng family, and we did not intend to betray you. In fact, you know your situation better than us. We just sent you back to Shangling safely. Even if we did not make any requests, your chamber of commerce would definitely offer it with a large amount of silver. At that time, our entire village would have no worries about food and drink!"

"Oh! Is that right?" I said lightly: "But I think those killers who want to kill me may not be grateful to you. Maybe they will send someone to suppress your parody in anger. Do you think you can resist it? Those who can arrange strict assassination are not simple thieves. You said that you can resist it by your parody?"

I did have my own reasons for saying this. When I heard the words of Yuyan, I clearly wanted to do business with me. He first reminded me that I am in their hands and would do whatever they want. Then he pointed out that they saved me and said that they could send me back, but so far, they had no movement. I could easily guess that if they were afraid of exposing me, they would also bring disaster to them. It might be difficult for those killers to kill me in the future, but it would be easy to kill them, so I fought back. Besides, since others know my identity, why don't I just make a point.

Zhui Yuyan was stunned by my words, then she was happy, and then her expression became dark again, and the changes on her face were captured in my eyes. So I smiled and said, "San Zheng, since you all know my identity, we are not secretly talking between us, and I, Deng Long, are grateful for your life-saving grace.   The so-called grace of water should be repaid with a spring, and I, Deng Long, stand tall and do not even repay the grace of saving my life. If I don't even repay the grace of saving my life, wouldn't it be a joke for all the people in the world?"

Zhui Yuyan heard what I said, knowing that I might have misunderstood, so she quickly said, "Master Deng, don't get it wrong. Although we are a living green forest, we are definitely not the kind of shameless people who make a living by betraying people. We often rob families, but we choose only some local traitors. We did not do anything to ordinary people to do to them."

After saying this, a hint of shame appeared on his face. After a long time, he continued to say, "Actually, I'm not hiding it. When I learned that you are Deng Long, I also thought about hoping that you can do us a favor."

After saying that, he looked at me eagerly.

"The third leader may as well talk about it!" I smiled slightly. Now the other party has put forward all the conditions. No matter how good the transaction is, you have to listen to it before you know it. Besides, others have to save my life, so you still have to give me this face.

"Okay!" Zhui Yuyan put the folding fan in her hand, then gently knocked it on her hand, saying, "I'm not polite to the head of the Deng family. I know that you will never leave here in the past period of time. We are relatively safer to you and others in terms of you and others. But you are tightly in the tiger's sunset now, and according to my guess, you will never just live a simple life like this, and you will leave here one day sooner or later. So I hope you can take us with you when you leave. There are many elderly and children in our village. I hope you can arrange them properly. As for us brothers, we will hand your lives to your hands!"

After he finished speaking, the old man next to him continued, "The third brother said it well, and our current situation is not very good either. The third brother went to Shangling before and knew some of your righteous deeds in Shangling. We hope that you should be pity for us to save your life. In our career, you may be dead to the underworld that day. We have nothing to do, just pity those old people and children."

After the old man said that, he sighed quietly, his face full of helplessness and guilt.

Looking at him like that, I suddenly remembered the clover that was destroyed by Liang Shisheng's troops three years ago. Except for the more than ten people who came to rob me, there were no other living places, no one living in the clover, regardless of the elderly or children. The clover in front of me was very similar to the clover at the time, that was, there were many women and children inside. It means that these people were forced to go to the mountain and become bandits.

After thinking about it, I felt that neither moral nor emotionally nor rejected his request. Anyway, I also needed a place to quietly recuperate my wounds, and quietly returned to Shangling after the rumor of the wind.

"Okay!" I said, "I promise you! But I have a condition!"

"You said, all the conditions are easy to discuss!" Seeing that I agreed, the two of them said happily.

"You won't ask me what conditions are there?" I asked strangely.

The rain geese seemed confident and said, "The people of Shangling know that Deng Long, the head of the Deng family, has a Bodhisattva heart, otherwise after you "death", there would not be so many people in Shangling come to worship you!"

I felt depressed, what is the reason for this? It was simply blind worship.

Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, I said, "My request is very simple, that is, I want to be the boss of the copycat! Deng Long, I, don't want to be inferior to others, either don't do it, and if you want to do it, do it the biggest one. Now the biggest one in your copycat is probably the boss!"

"What?" The two were shocked, and the old man stammered: "You...you want to be the boss? We are bandits!"

I was still lying on the bed, nodding seriously, and said, "Being an authentic bandit is my always dream. I couldn't be a good person in Shangling, but now I have the opportunity, how can I let it go! This is my ideal career. How about it? Do you agree?"

The old man and the rain-chasing geese looked at each other, then turned their heads and nodded fiercely.

I laughed and said, "No, not bad! Haha!"

The two of them were speechless: If it was said that Deng Long, the head of the Ling Deng family, would not like to be a bandit. Then others would think that the person who said this must be crazy!
