Chapter 28 The Wind Comes Again
Su Luo looked over and saw a familiar face, it was Yichuanfeng who had robbed the oil truck. It seemed that this nickname was not in vain. According to the tainted witness, almost all the thieves in Chuanfeng Village were trapped in the sea of fire, and Yichuanfeng had obviously floated out with the wind.
"I'm here to seek revenge on you." The voice of the wind was very low, not as loud and clear as when it was robbing.
"It's none of my business. It's all their fault." Su Luo retreated cautiously. "I didn't burn down the village."
"But Chuanfeng Village was destroyed because of your oil." Yichuanfeng raised his voice a little, "I decided to kill you on behalf of my brothers."
Su Luo said I was not interested in joining the Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Yichuanfeng spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out what the Disabled Persons' Federation meant, and finally said, "Don't worry, the Disabled Persons' Federation will definitely not accept people without brains."
Su Luo was sweating profusely because of the blade on her neck. She really wanted to sit on the ground and see how this evil God was going to play tricks on her. However, her strong desire to survive made her give up such a stupid behavior. She squeezed her eyes, trying to get some tears to come out, but failed.
"Brother, can you please be flexible? I have an 80-year-old mother and a 10-year-old brother, and I am the main labor force in the family."
"You caused me to lose my brothers, my stronghold, and my livelihood." Yiluanfeng moved the knife towards Su Luo's neck.
Su Luo put emphasis on the last word "livelihood" and said quickly, "If the government rewards you, you can donate 500 taels."
Yichuanfeng took another five minutes to figure out what the government was. He said incomprehensibly that you were so stingy that you were willing to give out only five hundred taels even though you were willing to risk your life for three thousand taels.
Su Luo said, "I only have one thousand left. I have given the other two thousand to others. I can't give you all the one thousand. I still have to support my mother and younger brother."
Yichuanfeng actually admired Su Luo's filial piety and put away his knife. "I won't make it difficult for you. I have nowhere to go now, so I'm just staying with you temporarily. Five hundred taels is too little. I still want one thousand taels. But I'll let you run the business, and we'll share the profits you make."
Su Luo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this guy would come up with this idea. He didn't even think about avenging his brother. If he had known this, he would not have used this strategy.
"Do you agree?" The knife was raised again.
Su Luo had no choice but to say "agree" insincerely. Seeing the knife was put away, he carefully asked, "What about your brother's life?"
Yichuanfeng smiled disdainfully, "Brother? The people in Chuanfeng Village are all scums expelled by various sects in the martial arts world, or they committed mistakes and could not stay in other villages. With such a group of people gathered together, they dare to do anything. I became the leader of the village by my own strength, and I only allow them to rob things, not kill people. Why do they want to pull me down all the time? Become brothers with them?"
Su Luo looked after hearing this. He was only 22 or 23 years old, but he was able to subdue a group of desperate criminals. His ability was obvious. But she was also surprised. Why did Yichuan Feng tell her about this? Did he really want to cooperate with her for a long time, so he treated her with sincerity?
"How did the oil burn?" Su Luo finally asked this question to clear up the confusion in his mind.
Yichuanfeng had put down his knife, found a few stools and put them together to form a small bed, half lying on it, "You are also responsible. If you hadn't said that water can't extinguish it, Wang Datou wouldn't have been so curious to run and test it."
Su Luo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. It was just as she thought.
"But we have to tell the public that it was burned by a trick, in order to save the reputation of Chuanfeng Village."
Su Luo finally understood where the testimony of the tainted witness came from. It turned out that he was also fooled by a bunch of wind. When asked this, Su Luo was puzzled again, "Why did you tell me everything? Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"
Yiluan Feng chuckled and said nothing. His eyes fell on the big knife on the table, and Su Luo stopped asking questions.
"One thousand taels is still too much." Su Luo knew Yichuan Feng's real purpose and could n't help but start bargaining. "Joining the partnership is easy to talk about, but I have a family to support, and you can't always let me work for others. I'd rather give you five hundred taels, and you can divide it according to the ratio of five hundred taels in the future." Su Luo was cautious here and didn't say how much to divide, but only the principal amount. It would be her business how much she invested at that time, and Yichuan Feng could only get the five hundred taels.
This kid was used to being a village leader, and he would squander the things he robbed. He was not sensitive to numbers, and he didn't really care whether it was one thousand taels or five hundred taels. He agreed immediately and introduced himself again: "Feng Yunlang, you can call me Yunlang."
Su Luo was a little surprised that a person with a reckless nature would have such a casual and beachy name.
The next morning, Su Luo was awakened , followed by the sound of something being knocked over, and then the sound of footsteps. Su Yi's voice came closer and closer, "What's going on?"
Su Luo suddenly felt a headache, so he put on some clothes and went out. As expected, he saw Su Yi holding a broom and blocking Su Shi, confronting Feng Yunlang who was lying on the stool bed.
Feng Yunlang seemed to be still asleep. He sat on the stool bed with half-open eyes and droopy face, mumbling something in his mouth. If you listen carefully, he was saying "I am grumpy when I wake up. Anyone who makes me angry will die."
Su Yi still looked at Feng Yunlang vigilantly. Yunlang kept his eyes half open and did not move for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep again, sleeping while sitting.
Su Luo didn't know how to explain Yun Lang to the mother and daughter. She couldn't say that he was the chief who escaped. If they ran to report the case, they would not be spared. Besides, although Yun Lang robbed her, he didn't touch a hair on her, and she even benefited from it. So she didn't know whether she should thank Yun Lang or what else.
Rubbing his temple, Su Luo stepped forward and said to Su: "Mom, he is my friend. He came to stay at our house for one night."
When Mrs. Su saw the coat Su Luo was wearing, she quickly pulled her aside and helped her straighten her clothes. Su Luo felt warm in her heart but also felt that the ancient people's ideas were a bit strange. She had another piece of clothing underneath, so it looked like she was not wearing anything.
"I'm not here to stay." The voice was loud but a little vague. Turning around, Yun Lang was rubbing his eyes and yawning. "I'll live in your house from now on."
Su was a little anxious, and whispered to Su Luo: "What kind of friend? You are a girl, and you let a man live in your home. What if it gets out?"
Su Luo was still worried, but could she chase him out? And then let him climb over the wall in the middle of the night and serve with a big knife?
"Mom, he is... he is Brother Zhou's cousin whom I haven't seen for a long time. I met him when I went to Shandong. He left in a hurry and only left our address. That's why he found his way here."
Although Su still had some reservations about the big knife on the table, she was obviously relieved and patted her chest, "I knew you wouldn't be so ignorant. Mr. Zhou's relatives are not outsiders."
Su Luo heard something behind the words and asked curiously, "How come his relatives are not outsiders?"
Su Yi put down the broom, squeezed over and snickered, "Sister, Miss Xie was selected to go to Beijing, no one will compete with you for Brother Zhou anymore."
