Chapter 610 There must be something strange(1/2)
"Have you played chess?" Old Ou knew that the possibility was extremely small, but he couldn't help asking more. When he saw Luo Lie shaking his head, he said regretfully: "If you know how to play chess, how great would it be!"
Luo Lie said, "Teach me! When I was in my hometown, my grandfather liked to teach me this and that, and as long as I was taught by my grandfather, I could always learn it."
Old Ou said in surprise: "Would you like to learn Go?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Although I can't play Go, I know that chess is like life. This chess definitely refers to chess, but Go. Also, the philosophical saying that the chief lord told Brother Bin that only by looking far can he walk for a long time should be the insights from Go."
Old Ou looked happy and said, "If you have such an understanding, it seems that you are really destined to be with Go. Come with me. I will give you a book first. When you enter, I will play chess with you in person to help you improve your chess skills."
Old Ou led Luo Lie to the study room of the side room of the main hall with a crutch. Dong Biao, who was staying there, couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't realize that Luo Lie's skill in flattery is really good. Brother Bin, why do you think this kid never flatters us two?"
Before Cao Bin could answer, Brother Long laughed first and said, "That's because you two are so flattering. Who dares to pat it? What should I do if I can't pat it? What if I can't pat it, I'll take a lot of horse manure?"
Dong Biao said: "Look at what you said, it's like you've photographed horse manure."
Brother Long continued to smile and said, "Can you Dong Biao pull out horse manure? A stubborn donkey, all the things you pull out are donkey poop eggs."
Dong Biao laughed and said, "Isn't that just like Brother Long's study and paying tribute!"
Brother Long's surname is Luo, his original name is Xinglong. He followed Ou Laohou and joined the Li generation, and changed his name to Lilong.
Luo Lilong was originally a brother from the New York Hall, a serious martial arts family, and he was good at shooting skills. In the New York Hall, he and Gu Haoran were of the same generation, with high seniority and capable of fighting, and his prestige was not inferior to Gu Haoran. Everyone knows the principle that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Ou Zhiming, who understands the philosophy that one can only walk for a long time, knows that Luo Lilong and Gu Haoran will have conflicts sooner or later, so Ou Zhiming transferred Luo Lilong out of the New York Hall and became his personal bodyguard.
Facts prove that Ou Zhiming is still quite capable in identifying people. After Gu Haoran took over the power of the hall, he immediately showed his unique business vision and keen sense of smell. He was the only hall among all the branches of Anliang Hall that did not rely on reaping the side doors and lived a more comfortable life. While other branches were still relying on fighting and killing to maintain his territory, Gu Haoran had already made his business to the whole city of New York, and even left New York, reaching the entire East Coast.
Seeing all this, Luo Lilong had to accept it. It turned out that the little resentment that inevitably arose in his heart also disappeared because of the business ability shown by Gu Haoran.
In fact, being a bodyguard for the chief lord is a very boring thing. All gangs in New York know that they can have friction with the branch offices of Anliangtang, but they must not provoke the chief lord of Anliangtang. First, the chief lord basically only cares about the affairs of each branch office, and provoking him is meaningless. Second, the forces of Anliangtang he established should not be underestimated. If he provokes him on his own, he may inevitably suffer a catastrophe. With such a consensus among the gangs, Luo Lilong became Ou Zhiming's housekeeper, and his good skills are useless. What he considers every day is nothing more than food and rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
As the head of Anliang Hall, Ou Zhiming was in a state of retreat and no longer involved in the specific affairs of each branch. Only when a branch encountered a difficult problem and could not handle it alone would he come forward to coordinate the manpower and resources in the entire Anliang Hall system to help the branch that had problems overcome the difficulties. However, outside Anliang Hall, Ou Zhiming was very busy. After all, he was an excellent lawyer, and so outstanding that he was simply a collection of laws of the United States of America.
Following Ou Zhiming, all Luo Lilong comes into contact with senior social leaders. In the office or home of the governor of New York State, Ou Zhiming is a guest. Even many congressmen in Washington have to come to visit Ou Lao to seek Ou's legal help. This is a great honor for Luo Lilong. It not only makes up for his regret for his ability but has no use of his skills, but can also be proud and willing to stay with Ou Zhiming for a long time.
In the Anliang Hall system, when people from various branches came to pay homage to the master of the headquarters, they were always timid to Luo Lilong, including Gu Haoran, and respected him. But only the Jinshan branch, whether Cao Bin or Dong Biao, never deliberately curry favor with him because he was closer to the master of the headquarters. Naturally, the etiquette they should have was indispensable, but jokes they should have were never missing, just because Cao Bin and Dong Biao never took advantage of him, and from beginning to end, they treated him as brothers.
Luo Lilong cherished this simple brotherhood very much. Moreover, compared with other people in the branch office, he admired Cao Bin and Dong Biao more because he was not sure that he could win these two people, whether it was fists, feet, knives, sticks, or long and short guns.
When he just followed the head of the main hall, the head of the main hall Ou Zhiming was not used to calling him Aaron, but preferring to call him Daluo. As a result, he was nicknamed Damu by Dong Biao, who was neither big nor small. When it came to horse dung, donkey and eggs, Dong Biao smiled and said that he wanted to pay tribute to him, which was the metaphor for the nickname Damu.
It is useless to blow your beard and stare at people like Dong Biao. Luo Lilong's trick is to ignore him. "Abin, sit for a while, I'll arrange a lunch and stay for dinner later."
Cao Bin replied: "Brother Long doesn't have to worry. We will reply after talking to the master of the main hall."
Ou Zhiming, who has been a lawyer in the United States of America for more than 30 years, has developed a habit of refusing to let people accompany him to eat, and even more so, he is reluctant to eat with others. In Ou Zhiming's cognition, the eating culture of Chinese compatriots is a waste of time, and wasting time is a waste of life. Ou Zhiming does not accept the culture of lunch or dinner with Westerners. Although it is much simpler than eating and drinking with Chinese compatriots, Ou Zhiming still believes that it is still a waste of time.
Cao Bin and Ou Zhiming have known each other for twenty-four or five years, and have had dinner with Ou Zhiming once, but that time was for Mr. Sun's sake.
"It's not me who keeps you, it's the main hall who keeps you!" Luo Lilong packed up his chessboard and stood up.
Cao Bin said: "The main hall of the main hall keeps me for dinner? Did the main hall of the main hall encounter any trouble?"
Luo Lilong pointed to the direction of the study and said, "The Master of the Main Hall was not in trouble, but met a young man he liked. I have been with the Master of the Main Hall for almost twenty years. What the Master of the Main Hall is thinking, without saying it, just a look, and I understand everything."
Dong Biao said with a very sour taste: "Damn, I have been in Anliangtang for more than 20 years, but I am not as proud as that boy Luo Lie?"
Cao Bin said: "That's right, even I feel a little psychologically unbalanced. A Biao, after you go back, you should know what you should do!"
Dong Biao gritted his teeth and said, "I have to kill him, at least he has to make him drunk for three days and can't get up."
Luo Lilong smiled and said, "I guess you two will be disappointed. After lunch, the master of the main hall will ask me to send you two away, but at the same time, he will definitely keep Xiao Luohuo."
Dong Biao widened his eyes and murmured: "Will it be that excessive?"
Luo Lilong sneered: "You are saying that the request of the chief master is too much, right?"
Dong Biao quickly covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.
Among fate, not only love, eyes, fate, fate, and fun, but also fate with a decisive effect, called time fate. Only when the time is right, the above fate is the real fate. If the time is wrong, those fates are difficult to reflect. Old Ou is over 60 years old, and both energy and physical strength are not as good as before. Therefore, he has retired in the lawyer industry in the past two years. In addition to some important people who need help, Old Ou no longer takes on cases and plays chess and plays vegetables in this residence all day long. Another reason is that Old Ou is both middle-aged, and his career and family are the most prosperous, and it is rare to visit Old Ou once or twice a month. Therefore, Old Ou is indeed a little idle and panic. It is obviously not enough for Luo Lilong to play chess and grow vegetables with him alone. He needs some other people and things to fill his free time.
However, the people who came to look for him, both young and old, men and women, their help and interests were only legal, but they had no interest in his two life hobbies. As for the brothers in the hall, he was even more disappointed. Not to mention whether he could become a little interested in playing chess and growing vegetables, even ordinary chats felt that they couldn't continue.
Only Luo Lie was first of all, and just this point made Mr. Ou feel quite pleased. Then, this kid ate the cucumber tomato planted by Mr. Ou without saying hello and praised it. This naturally made Mr. Ou happy. In the end, this kid actually became interested in Go, which made Mr. Ou's joy in him suddenly burst out.
Cao Bin was extremely smart and realized these reasons in the blink of an eye, but he was still a little hesitant about Luo Lilong. Just like the words Dong Biao blurted out, would Old Ou be so excessive?
Luo Lilong seemed to see Cao Bin's question, pointed to the direction of the study and said, "Abin, have you ever been in the study of the chief lord?"
Cao Bin was suddenly stunned and shook his head silently.
Luo Lilong continued: "I can go in once a week to clean the main hall... It's almost twenty years, Abin, Abiao, it's the first time I've seen the main hall bring someone into his study in these twenty years."
Dong Biao clenched his fist and slapped it in his palm, making a 'slap' sound, and said hatefully: "What do you think this is right? Brother Bin, this kid, with the support of the chief master, will not bully me to death in the future! Alas... I regret it so much. I shouldn't have targeted Daming last night, so I should have put him down first."
Cao Bin smiled and said, "It's too late to say anything now! Unless you rush in now, take that kid out and throw it back to Jinshan."
Dong Biao acted as an attempt to rush, but looked at Luo Lilong and asked with a wry smile: "Brother Long, you won't shoot me in the ass, right?"
Luo Lilong snorted and said, "I have to clean up a bunch of donkey poops. It's boring. You can do whatever you want. I'll go arrange lunch."
Luo Lie was only relieved to Cao Bin and Dong Biao, the two elder brothers, who were so fond of Luo Lie, and the appropriate cooperation of Cao Biao, was just a joke to make some fun for himself. However, then again, Luo Lie was so fond of this by the Lord of the Lord, which was unexpected by these two people.
Ou Zhiming took Luo Lie into his study and said that he was looking for a book about Go for Luo Lie, but after entering, it took a long time to come out. It was not until lunch time that the two of them walked out of the study and returned to the eaves pavilion in front of the main hall. "Abin, A Biao, you haven't seen me for a long time. Happy today, stay for lunch!"
After hearing the words of the head of the hall, Dong Biao couldn't help but secretly give Luo Lilong a thumbs up.
Lunch was very simple, with only two of them for six dishes for five people, and only two of them saw meat and fish. However, the ingredients used were all picked from their own vegetable garden, which was beyond the season and extremely fresh. Luo Lie was extremely happy to eat, and he ate three large bowls of rice before he could finish it. The head of the main hall Ou Zhiming saw it and was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Little Luo Lie, seeing that you are eating so happily, why not stay for two more days!"
Luo Lie wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Okay, the scenery here is so beautiful, the food is delicious, and I can still learn Go with the main hall, I can't help but want to!"
Ou Zhiming said happily: "Along, you will ask someone to pack up a room to store Luo Lie. You have to change the bedding and the lamp in the room to light up. Xiao Luo Lie cheated me of a lot of books, and I guess he would have to read it at night with the lamp." Then he said to Cao Bin: "If you and A Biao have nothing to do, go back after dinner!"
At this time, Cao Bin and Dong Biao had already put down the bowls and chopsticks. Ou Zhiming's words were clearly a way to see off the guests. Cao Bin could understand and had to get up and say goodbye. Before leaving, he kept some delicious and fun things he bought on the way back from Miami.
"Master of the main hall, I'll go and see Brother Bin off." Luo Lie followed Cao Bin and walked out of the Yanting Pavilion.
The three of them walked through the well and walked out of the courtyard. Dong Biao couldn't help but feel sorry for Luo Lie and said, "Perform well, and try to make the master of the chief lord recognize you as a godson."
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said with a slight pride: "No need to fight for it. When I was in the study just now, the master of the chief hall had already recognized me as his godson."
Dong Biao was stunned and blurted out: "Damn...you..."
Cao Bin said: "Don't let me get in, go drive the car, I'll say a few words to Luo Lie."
Dong Biao left in disappointment.
Cao Bin continued: "The chief master is old, and you are willing to stay with him for a few days. This is a good thing. However, you still have to keep a good door in your mouth. Don't miss what you shouldn't say."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I understand, don't report good news or bad news, and you can't let the Lord of the Chief Executive worry about you."
Cao Bin took a deep breath and said, "I thought the Miami incident was just a small episode, but I didn't expect that Li Xilu would actually collude with Kingsoft. If the two hundred tons of opium had been traded, the situation might be still controlled, but if the goods were sent out and the money had not been received, the borers in Kingsoft would definitely vent their anger. So, the burden on your shoulders has not been removed, and you still have to be prepared to clean up the mess at any time."
Luo Lie nodded again and said, "I know what to do, Brother Bin, I'm sorry, I've considered it simple in Miami."
Cao Bin smiled and said, "If you didn't meet me and your brother Biao on the way to Li Xilu's villa, what would you plan to do? Will you still break in like a naughty person?"
Luo Lie replied with a smile: "I was a little stunned, but I was not that shocked. I originally wanted to verify whether Gu Ting had any problems, but when I met you two on the way, I changed my mind. But I didn't expect that Li Xilu was not colluding with the Miami gang, but formed a group of forces, which made me embarrassed."
Cao Bin breathed a long sigh and said, "That's not awkward, but you have to remember in the future. When you encounter something, you must do what you can. To say hello to Brother Bin, at least you have to say to your Brother Biao. Do you understand?"
Dong Biao happened to drive over. Hearing this, he couldn't help but interrupt and smiled: "Brother Bin means that we should take care of other people's affairs less."
Cao Bin said, Luo Lie had nodding, but Dong Biao interrupted. If Luo Lie didn't say a few words, it seemed that it would be inconsistent. "If I hadn't meddled with other people's business, how could you have the opportunity to extort so much money?"
Dong Biao was slightly stunned, then slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot if you don't say it." Dong Biao said, taking out a stack of US dollars from his pocket and threw it to Luo Lie, and said, "The total number is 43, 40,000, and the integer number is 40,000 yuan. Three thousand yuan of us are the three brothers as bonuses."
Luo Lie took the stack of US dollars, but looked at Cao Bin first. When he saw Cao Bin nodding, he then happily put it in his pocket and said, "I am still in Miami. I have this money and I can buy a new one."
Dong Biao glanced over and shouted, "I said, are you crazy? You all recognize the master of the chief lord as a grandfather, so you don't know the benefits of cheating him? I'll tell you clearly. The master of the chief lord is not an ordinary person. If you take any case, it starts with a thousand yuan. He earns more money alone than ours. If you don't take the opportunity to cheat him hard, it will only mean that you are too stupid!"
Cao Bin got into the car and smiled and said, "Can't you still see it? The look of the Lord of the Chief Executive looking at Luo Lie is exactly the same as his granddaughter. There is no need for Luo Lie to speak. The Lord of the Chief Executive will take the initiative to buy this and that for Luo Lie."
As he was talking, Luo Lilong walked out of the yard and saw that Cao Bin and Dong Biao had not set off yet, he said happily: "Your cars were requisitioned by the owner of the main hall! First take me and Luo Lie into the city, and then you two do whatever you should do. I will buy some outfits for Luo Lie, and then drive your car back."
Dong Biao said frustly: "Is the Lord of the Hall so biased, right?"
Luo Lilong shrugged his shoulders, pulled Luo Lie into the car, and said, "There is no way. Don't look at the age of the chief lord, and his ears are very bright. When he heard you talking outside the yard, he told me like this."
Cao Bin gave Dong Biao a quick look and said, "You are talking nonsense? Are you suffering a loss?"
Dong Biao muttered, "We still have to drive back to Jinshan! Hand over the car, how can we go back? Let's go back?"
Luo Lilong also gave Dong Biao a message from behind and said, "Can't you take the train back?"
Dong Biao was still unwilling to accept it and said, "This is a car at the entrance of New York. Our car was broken in Miami and has not been repaired yet! Brother Long, do you think we should borrow and repay it?"
Luo Lilong smiled and said, "That would be even better. I'll say hello to Lao Gu, let's see if he dares to say nothing?"
Cao Bin sighed and said, "Okay, A Biao, don't be stubborn anymore. If you continue to be stubborn, be careful that the chief master will leave you to Luo Lie as a book boy."
Luo Lie on the back seat burst into laughter.
Dong Biao started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out.
After walking far, he raised his courage and shouted: "Luo Lie, remember it for me. You have completely offended Brother Biao. Don't let me catch a chance, otherwise, Brother Biao, I will kill you."
Luo Lie laughed and said, "I asked the chief lorry to issue me a wine-free token. I see how you will kill me?"
Dong Biao sneered: "There are so many ways to kill you. Do you think Brother Biao has the only way to drink?"
Luo Lilong continued, "Just blow on you. In addition to drinking, as long as you can speak another trick, even if I lose."
Dong Biao sneered several times before saying, "I think beautifully! I want me to say it in advance so that the boy can prepare, but there is no door!"
Luo Lilong said: "Will there be windows without doors?"
To be continued...
