Chapter 23 Dogs

In the old alley in the remote suburbs of Sijiu City, 16-year-old Li Ming was wearing a school uniform, with a round head and a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes under his feet, looking like a student.

But at this moment, Li Ming did not look like he used to be as rude and perverse as he used to be, and his pale face turned out to be horrified.

"Doctor, how are you doing? Is it serious?" Li Ming grabbed the stretcher truck pushing into the rescue room and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to rescue." The stretcher truck arrived at the door of the emergency room, and the doctor stopped Li Ming's figure and gave a formulaic line.

Looking at the red lights on the operating room, a feeling of powerless panic arose in Li Ming's heart.

At this time, the person who was rescued in the operating room was Li Ming's nominal master, the old liar with a long hair and a young face.

In three years, the old liar regarded Li Ming as the heir to his legacy and almost taught him what he had learned throughout his life.

From the material that the old liar touched Li Ming's head and said that Li Ming was born to do [Lao He] (people in the world call deception methods business. Businessmen are also called Lao He.), Li Ming felt the warmth similar to family affection in an old man who is both a teacher, a friend and a father for the first time.

The happiness in the world is each in its own way, but the unfortunate life is roughly the same.

Li Ming, who has been wandering on the railway side of Sijiu City since childhood, is a veritable gangster. Like all the children who wander on the streets, Li Ming has a home that he doesn't want to go back and a broken family.

My mother ran away with someone when Li Ming was three years old. As she grew up, my father was unable to let go of it, and in addition to not asking or talking to Li Ming, he also beat Li Ming to the head and bleeding after drinking from time to time.

Li Ming knew that this was because he looked like his mother, and his father used this to vent his hatred for that woman.

I originally thought that I would wander around the world like all the stories circulating on the streets and alleys, and write a legendary life with the old scammers, and then give the old scammers a pension to see him off, but I didn't expect that the old scammers would never allow Li Ming to go on his own path.

Although the old liar taught Li Ming the tricks and the tricks of the world, he privately handled the admission procedures for Li Ming and asked Li Ming to return to school.

Although he cursed, Li Ming finally returned to school as required by the old liar.

The calm and peaceful life on campus once gave Li Ming the illusion that he was a normal student... Until today.

Before she could feel the breath of youth and the affinity of youth, Li Ming's life was smashed to pieces.

The old liar was cut off his fingers, broken his knees, and threw them next to the garbage dump. Then the other party called Li Ming, who was in evening self-study...

After calling the emergency number, Li Ming rushed to the hospital in a crazy way. He happened to meet an ambulance that arrived at the same time, so the previous scene appeared.

Before losing consciousness, the old liar lying on the stretcher truck still smiled kindly and explained the funeral to Li Ming in a relaxed tone.

"Puppy, I thought you wouldn't cry, so you did."

"In the past, I relied on picking cakes on the other side of the land to get a fortune. I had any skills and tricks. I kept silent when I won, and even pinched my nose and accepted it after losing. Now the times have really changed."

"Why? It's not that the house price has risen too scary in the past two years. You guys can finally get on the right path. If you can't afford a house, I wonder if you will follow my old path sooner or later..."

"I can cry. I'm old and I can save it. If I can't save it, I will pull me to the place where the red leaves are blooming, and I will burn it and bring it to you quickly."

"Ah, damn! The little guys are really not particular now."

········

An hour later, Li Ming, who was sitting outside the emergency room, still had the old liar's final resentment and unwilling expression in front of him.

"Hello, are you a patient's family?" A nurse came up to Li Ming and said to Li Ming from red to green in the emergency room.

After hearing this, Li Ming knew what he might be facing, but without hesitation, he wiped the tears on his face and said firmly, "He is my master, I am his grandson."

What kind of messy relationship is this?

After hearing Li Ming's words, the nurse was obviously stunned, but she didn't care so much. She nodded and said, "The operation is very successful. Pay the hospitalization fee as soon as possible. After all, the postoperative response is also very important."

"Yes!" Li Ming, who was full of childishness, nodded heavily and said, "I'll go back and get it now..."

Old liar! I said I would like to give you a pension to see you for the end of my life, so I have to give you a pension to see you for the end of my life!

After leaving the hospital, Li Ming hurriedly rushed home. While his father was away, he stole the old objects inherited from his grandfather and all the deposits at home from his bed. He hurriedly ran towards a old pawnshop who had been old.

Standing at the pawnshop door, Li Ming looked at the yellowed and old sign, his eyes turned red again.

"This pawn shop is very deep. Those who come to work and those who open pawn shops are born to be mortal enemies. You either cheat me or I cheat you... There are things that Lao Rong (the thief) can be collected, but they must be kept for a while to avoid any high-ranking officials asking someone to come and find a letter."

"There is a screen at the door of the pawnshop. You think it is to avoid others seeing what they are like. In fact, it is for the poor. The poorer the person, the better the face, the poorer the face. Remember that face is earned by yourself and not given by others."

"If you do business, you can be a hot and cold-faced business. The key is to look at people's food. For example, when a poor person is working as a thing, he will use money urgently. The pawn shop usually kills the price. If you can drink more blood, you will drink more blood."

"Dirty? What's dirty? Money is money. It can buy things, cure diseases, play girls, and make things that can do. Well, even if Money is a bastard, don't say it looks really good."

"Dog, you have to remember that people like us are born with a greedy disease in their hearts, and this disease is only gold to cure......"

Li Ming recalled that whenever he followed the old liar by following the pawnshop with Beibingyang, he would stroke his beard and teach Li Ming something with his mouth in his old way.

Li Ming, who used to listen to these stories as jokes, never thought that he would become the person in the story.

Standing at the pawnshop door, Li Ming walked forward with a dusty wooden box, then held the wooden box in both hands and placed it on the desk, took a deep breath and said, "Boss, will you accept it?"

········

Three months later.

The old liar's recovery was not very ideal, and the hand that only left his palm could not hold the crutch made of green saplings cut down in the middle of the night.

But today when Li Ming helped others unload the goods and returned to this dilapidated house, the old liar seemed to be sitting on a chair.

"Old liar, why are you getting up? I brought you the roast duck you like......" Li Ming was frightened by the scene in front of him and hurriedly said.

"Hehe, I finally crawled over after falling seven times." The old liar said proudly with a blow-beard.

"Why don't you wait for me to come back?" Li Ming said with some sadness.

"I just want to see if I have any use." The old liar looked at the roast duck in front of him, shook his head and smiled and said, "It's really not possible."

"Old liar, don't talk about this, eat roast duck and roast duck." After Li Ming deliberately avoided this topic, he washed his hands and started to put the shredded white scallion, shiny duck skin and meat into the burrito.

The old liar watched Li Ming be busy without saying a word, and then waited for Li Ming to put the pancake carefully beside his mouth.

While chewing the pancakes with relish, the old liar said with a smile, "Dog, last time I used twelve jade arhats to make a game. By putting it first and then collecting it, he used his mentality of collecting this set of things, and he cheated you out of one million. But that dog-good guy is not particular and wants to eat it badly, but how can I spit it out after entering my mouth... I have stored that money in the bank card and hidden under the locust tree at your doorstep......"

"Eat first, have supper before talking." I vaguely realized something was wrong, and Li Ming subconsciously avoided again.

"And, dog, if you have the chance in the future, do you know?" The old liar chewed the food and continued speechlessly.

"Well, I understand, don't worry." Li Ming replied with his lips pursed.

After eating one pancake after another, the old liar could not eat it at the end, but he still endured the desire to vomit and swallowed all the roast duck that was originally two.

After swallowing the last bite of the burrito, the old liar said with a satisfied look but ugly face, "Dog, today is my last lesson for you..."

"Go to your mother, lie down and rest quickly. Eat so much and don't be afraid of being overwhelmed." Li Ming cursed angrily with tears in his eyes, gritting his teeth, but he still helped the old liar to lie down.

"My mother has been dead for many years, and she doesn't know where the grave is. It's very difficult to deal with your request." The old liar continued with a smile, "Dog, just call the master."

After waiting for the old liar to lie down, Li Ming wiped his face and said, "Master!"

After nodding with satisfaction, the old liar smiled and said, "You have enough cleverness, and now you are lacking a little cruel."

After a pause, the old liar gasped and continued, "It's so uncomfortable for me to live like this, so in the last lesson, if you are filial to me and treat me as your master, you will kill me with your own hands..."

When Li Ming heard this, he was already full of tears.

The old liar smiled, pointed to the pillow beside him, and said, "Dog, you have to remember that being rich is at most unkind, and being cruel will be extremely evil..."

It was snowing outside the window, ghosts were wandering, and wild dogs were wailing and crying everywhere.
