Chen Tai sat in the empty workshop. The flame in the trough had already been extinguished. At this time, only an oil lamp flickered around him, with six or seven cigarette butts under his feet.


    "Are you your brother with the prefix? Brother Zhong is helping outsiders?" what the scarf Qing said to himself when he left made Chen Tai spit a little upset.


    Hanshan Qingqing made it clear that they were not going to deal with song TIANYAO tonight, but wanted to learn from Chen Tai about the residence of xianyushuan''s wife and daughter. They wanted to use xianyushuan''s wife and daughter to force shiye Hui to release the arrested Jianghu leaders. In the view of Hanshan Qingqing and others, whether shiye Hui or xianyushuan, they had no family relationship with Chen Tai, Chen Tai doesn''t have to refuse his fellow brothers for them.


    But to his disappointment, Chen Tai just shook his head and said that he was a waste and didn''t want to intervene in the gang.


    A younger brother behind the scarf Qing saw Chen Tai''s decadent appearance, coupled with his boss''s kindness to such a poor guy, the other party refused to buy it. Suddenly, he began to drink proudly: "if you don''t want to intervene, don''t intervene! You should be yourself..."


    Before Chen Tai gave a response, sweat scarf Qing had turned to run up and kicked his little brother out of the door of the factory: "get out!"


    "Artest..." the scarf Qing moved his hand and looked at Chen Tai: "he''s new to me, when he doesn''t want to."


    Chen Tai seemed to be completely indifferent. He smiled: "brother Qing, it doesn''t matter. It''s just that I really don''t want to intervene in this matter. Shiye Hui or salted fish tie had dinner and wine with me."


    "OK." sweat scarf hesitated, then nodded: "I understand, that''s it. It doesn''t prevent you from continuing to practice boxing."


    Sweat scarf Qing led people to the outside of the factory, but before leaving, he turned and said to Chen Tai, "are you with the brother with the prefix? Help brother Zhong is to help outsiders? You have to think about it yourself."


    Chen Tai sat in the empty factory and wondered how he should choose? He worshipped lame Cong and joined hequnying. Naturally, he was a person with the prefix of hequnying. However, he felt sorry for letting him tell where his wife and daughter were because of the loyalty of the community, intimidating shiye Hui and indirectly threatening song TIANYAO.


    The ups and downs of his life during this period have made him see the warmth and coldness of friendship in the Jianghu. Chen Tai has no hatred for the Jianghu people with red tops and white. He stepped into the Jianghu by relying on the opportunity given by the big man lame Cong and his own hands. Except lame Cong, others are not worth his life.


    On the contrary, he now misses the days when he and salted fish tie, shiyehui and others ran errands for song TIANYAO, made flower tower candy in Chen Qingwen''s candy shop, helped song TIANYAO move with them, and so on. At that time, except for himself, xianyushuan and shiyehui, they all seemed to be the so-called Jianghu people under fuyixing sect, but they were just humble minions. As for himself, a rural boy who was picked up from the police station by song TIANYAO''s relationship seemed to be the opposite than he wanted to become famous in the Jianghu. Shiyehui and xianyushuan seemed to be the opposite, Chen Tai wanted to leave the Jianghu and become an ordinary person. At that time, what Chen Tai thought was that these two guys didn''t become martial arts and didn''t have a chance to stand out, so he was discouraged. Now after so many Jianghu events, Chen Tai feels that the salted fish tie that has driven the crane to the west is better than the shiye Hui who is now rich and noble. He was intent on following song TIANYAO at the beginning, It''s right to want to get rid of Jianghu affairs early. If you have the opportunity to be a serious businessman, why struggle in this dirty water.


    I still remember when I was lame and Cong, the scenery was boundless. My parents were also connected to the Tang building and hired servants to take care of them. My relatives and friends opened their mouths and shut their mouths. They all knew that Ron Artest would come out sooner or later, or were sincere or polite. However, after I lost power, my parents hurried to arrange for them to go back to the countryside because they were worried about getting into trouble by the Qiu family, Although parents may not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation for the money they made before, I''m afraid they will start praying for God and Buddha to pray for their peace in the countryside.


    Shiye Hui, who once helped song TIANYAO move with himself and looked silly with glasses, has changed into a big water pipe. It is said that not only the British troops in Hong Kong rely on him for uniforms, but also Japan and India have business. At the beginning, those who were higher than him in the Jianghu had difficulty even trying to get close to him and have a word with him. Now they are even bothering him, He couldn''t find a chance to start. He had to rely on salted fish to tie a dead man''s wife and daughter to make his idea. Chen Tai grinned at himself. I''m afraid shiye Hui should forget his wife and daughter now. These stupid Jianghu people thought they could call shiye Hui out by relying on nonsense such as fellow righteousness?


    With a heavy breath, Chen Tai got up, put on his coat, put on his raincoat and stepped out of the factory.


    Shiye Hui is now rich and powerful. He is a wealthy businessman who makes great progress every day. Maybe he is too busy to forget his old friend. However, Chen Tai is a Jianghu man. Even if he wears the sign with the prefix "he", he can''t see these so-called fellow brothers coerce a pair of orphans and widows. Besides, it doesn''t matter whether he is with the prefix or not.


    Outside the factory building, the rainstorm showed no sign of stopping. Chen Tai looked around in the dark, pulled up his rain hat, covered his face, and disappeared in the rainy night.


    When his figure completely disappeared, the scarf slowly came out of a shadow, looked at the direction of Chen Tai''s disappearance and opened his mouth: "go and inform others to catch up, and I''ll take some brothers with Artest."


    ……


    In Jotun, Kowloon, Chen Tai remembers that sister-in-law Fen, the widow of xianyushuan, opened the grocery store. Now the sign is still hanging, but it has been put on the door. The three-story Tang building is also dark. Obviously, sister-in-law Fen and Xiuer in the building have also fallen asleep.


    Chen Tai punched the door panel and knocked twice: "is anyone there?"


    After waiting for a moment, there was no movement inside. Chen Tai continued to knock on the door panel: "sister Fen, I''m brother Yao''s cousin Artest. Have you seen me!"


    Chen Tai shouted several times, but no one answered. Chen Tai frowned: "nine striped dragon!"


    He knew that Jiuwen dragon had been living in sister-in-law Fen''s grocery store for a long time. Even if the mother and daughter on the second floor couldn''t hear their cries, Jiuwen dragon sleeping on the first floor should hear them.


    Finally, a sleepy male voice sounded inside: "what ghost is it in the middle of the night? Don''t do business! Let''s go!"


    "Are you a side?" Chen Tai was stunned, knocked twice and asked, "is sister-in-law Fen there?"


    "Do you recognize the wrong person! What dragon ah Fen!" the male voice inside was very impatient: "I want to make a noise!"


    "Open the door!" Chen Tai knocked on the door panel continuously! The expression is a little nervous.


    He was worried that sister-in-law Fen and Xiu''er had been arrested. The male voice was deliberately lying to him.


    "I''ll take your mother! Do you want to die? Do you want to rob in the middle of the night!" the man scolded impatiently. Then he opened a small window on the door panel, looked out and stared at Chen Tai: "all right, don''t do business at night! Are you deaf!"


    Before Chen Tai could speak, the man looked over Chen Tai, suddenly his face changed, closed the small window heavily, and shouted inside, "I can''t see anything! Get out!"


    Chen Tai slowly turned around. On the left and right sides of the street, I don''t know when two teams of people appeared. On the empty but noisy long street, everyone was walking towards the periphery of his grocery store step by step with a bright long knife in hand.


    Holding an umbrella, LV Le stood by a car parked under a gas lamp post in the distance. Beside him was the history of sweat. LV Le looked at Chen Tai and shouted, "Artest, you get in my car now. There''s still something to talk about."


    Chen Tai took out a cigarette from under his raincoat and held it in his mouth, but the match couldn''t strike in the rain. Even the cigarette in his mouth was completely wet by the rain. Chen Tai threw away the matchbox, lifted up his raincap and wiped the rain on his face.


    I wanted to say my name, but when it came to my mouth, I turned around, and finally said, "who comes up and borrow a fire?"
