Chapter 5 Jitangguan, Ouyang Hu
Jitang Pass is a large wharf town, affiliated to Babei County, Shizhou Prefecture, and Jinghu Province.
Because Shizhou Prefecture is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it has abundant water resources. Babei is even more vast, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing, with ten rivers and dozens of small tributaries, all of which flow into the Yangtze River.
Therefore, the area is connected to Wushan in the west, to Wufeng, Hefeng and other mountains in the south, and to Shenlongjia Forest in the north, and to herbs with rich resources. Among them, various precious trees and precious herbs are of great value, which makes the forest and medicinal materials industry quite prosperous.
Because Jitang Pass is located at the exit area on both sides of Wu Gorge, the Tianzi River flows into the Yangtze River from south to north. Relying on the river, it can barely be called convenient transportation, so it has become one of the top wharf towns in Babei County.
When Ouyang Ye came out of the Happy Building, it was evening and it was getting dark.
Looking around, there are already lights on the street, with various shops and warehouses. Because there is no city or access control, you can also see many peddlers walking in a hurry.
If you extend your eyes north and east, you can see the river not far away. Boats and boats are connected on the river surface, and fishing fires are abundant. Some boats come south from the river surface overnight, and some merchant ships go east from the river surface to the lights.
This is a good place.
Ouyang Ye showed a smile on his crooked face.
The town has a random building, but there is actually no distinction between streets and alleys. However, Ouyang Ye and Chen Lai have lived here for more than ten years and are very familiar with various paths and buildings. So they found a path that had not seen anyone and went back to the Shenmu Trading Company, which was only a few hundred steps away from the Zuihua Building.
As the site of the largest gang in Jitangguan and its headquarters, Shenmu Trading Company covers an area of dozens of acres and is mainly divided into two parts. The south part is a shop and a hall for reception of guests, and the north part is a large garden, or a huge courtyard, composed of a warehouse and the residence of gang brothers.
The courtyard was opened on all sides, and gang brothers were guarding it day and night. Because Ouyang Hu lived in a courtyard in the middle of the north, Ouyang Ye and Chen Lai turned to the north gate and entered.
"Brother Chen Lai, who is behind you?" The two men guarding the gate stopped Chen Lai and asked.
"Who is it? The young gang leader can't recognize it?" Facing these two ordinary gang members, Chen Lai was just a teenager, but he was still as a slut.
"Young Gang Master?" The two men looked at Ouyang Ye's face carefully using the lights of the north gate in confusion, and found that it was indeed the outline of Ouyang Ye. The most important thing was that the degree of crooked mouth and eyes was exactly the same, so they couldn't help but ask: "How did the Young Gang Master become like this?"
On the way, Chen Lai received Ouyang Ye's instructions, and when he heard this, he retorted again: "What does the young gang leader have become? The gang leader is waiting to see the young gang leader, but you still won't let the way out?"
Sure enough, these two men dared not stop him anymore and let Ouyang Ye and Chen Lai in.
As for entering Ouyang Hu's house next, people inside and outside the gate received Ouyang Hu's orders in advance, so there was no stop.
When he entered the master bedroom in the yard, Ouyang Ye finally met the leader of the Shenmu Gang, who was also his original father, Ouyang Hu.
Ouyang Hu is a middle-aged child. He is exactly 60 years old this year and has gray hair. He is also sleeping for several months due to injury. He is so thin that he is almost a thick bone frame. He looks withered and obviously has not been around for a long time.
The room was brightly lit. When Ouyang Ye came in, Ouyang Hu struggled to sit up from the bed. The two maids who were serving in the room wanted to help him, but he pushed them away hard. After all, he sat on the edge of the bed with his own strength.
He stared at Ouyang Ye, but he didn't look for it for long. He almost confirmed Ouyang Ye's identity in just one breath. His old eyes were tearful and called out, "My son, are you really enlightened?"
Gao Qiang came back and reported to Ouyang Hu as follows: The young gang leader was murdered by Chang San and was found in the critical moment of life and death. Not only was he no longer stupid, but he also lost most of his weight.
Ouyang Hu had heard of such a fool, but he had never seen it. But he believed that such a thing happened to his son, or that was exactly what he had dreamed of for many years. God had seen it pitifully, and now it finally came true, why didn't he believe it?
So what if your son loses weight? Others may not recognize him for a moment, but he, the father, recognized him at a glance.
This scene seemed to touch some of Ouyang Ye's soul, making him, a person who had been grinded by the world, feel uncomfortable in his heart.
At this time, Ouyang Ye suddenly realized that perhaps the original soul had not dissipated, but merged with his soul with memory.
As Ouyang Hu was waiting for himself since childhood, scenes of Ouyang Hu waiting for him from childhood. Ouyang Ye couldn't help but walk to the bed, kneel down with a plop, and couldn't help but say with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child is really enlightened."
Ouyang Hu stretched out his thin hand and fell on Ouyang Ye's shoulder tremblingly. He burst into tears with tears in his voice. He said in a slight voice: "Okay! OK! OK! God treats me Ouyang Hu very much! Hahaha, cough... Cough cough cough!"
First, he said three "good" in excitement, and then laughed loudly, which obviously affected Ouyang Hu's injury and made him cough violently.
Seeing this, a little maid next to him hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.
Ouyang Hu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times before stopping.
Ouyang Ye saw the handkerchief bleed, even though he had known that Ouyang Hu was not long ago, he couldn't help but ask nervously: "Father..."
He didn't know what to say, would he say it without any hindrance? He was all the people who were judged by many doctors to die, so how could he be without hindrance?
"It's okay," Ouyang Hu threw away his handkerchief, waved his hand, and took a breath and said, "I will never die for a while for my father."
He asked the little maid next to him to bring a cup of ginseng soup and drank it, and his face became a little rosy. Ouyang Hu spoke again and asked, "Ye'er, you will never forget what happened before after you have enlightened yourself, right?"
Ouyang Ye understood that this was a question that Ouyang Hu must have after calming down.
But he is not false. According to the integration of souls, he is Ouyang Hu's son. He immediately replied: "I haven't forgotten the child... I still remember when I was a child, my father came back and brought me a bunch of candied haws, which I handed to my father to eat. My father happily hugged me and turned around many circles, but he spitted me, making my father's face full of vomiting."
"Hahaha..." Ouyang Hu laughed again when he heard this, but this time he became much more reserved. Perhaps it was because of ginseng soup, so he did not cough again.
After Ouyang Ye finished speaking, Ouyang Hu waved his hand and said, "You all go out and let the outside guard well. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
Except for Ouyang Hu and Ouyang Ye, there were only Chen Lai and the two little maids in the house. Hearing the sound, he responded, and went out one after another and brought him to the door.
After only father and son were left in the house, Ouyang Hu said seriously: "Ye'er, since you have opened your mind and are no different from ordinary people, all my thoughts can be settled. Even if your life is not long, there will be no regrets."
Originally, Ouyang Hu's image in the memory inherited by Ouyang Ye was not very clear, but this meeting made Ouyang Hu a clear and specific person in Ouyang Ye's mind.
Although he is withered and has not been around for a long time, Ouyang Hu's heroic temperament and personal charm are still conspicuous.
Although the Shenmu Gang is just a small gang that dominates a town, this is a height that ordinary people will never reach in their lifetime. Ouyang Hu, who founded the Shenmu Gang, can naturally be regarded as a small hero.
Such a father is easy for Ouyang Ye to recognize.
"This time Chang San plots to kill you, it's because I'm too hesitant about the successor leader for too long. To be honest, I'm not satisfied with Achang, Deng Kui, and Tian Yunong. Achang is too stupid, Deng Kui is too domineering, and Tian Yunong is too cruel, and it's not suitable to be the leader of the Shenmu Gang."
"What I wanted most before was actually Tan Kang. Although he lacked foundation in the gang, he had good martial arts, character, and mind. Mr. Chen also agreed with him. Unfortunately, Tan Kang's heart was not in my Shenmu Gang, and he privately rejected this matter to me."
"Now that they have committed a murder of you, and you are lucky in disguise, which will give me the opportunity to pass on the position of the leader of the gang to you. The Shenmu Gang built it for me, that is mine, the father passed to the son, and the son passed to the grandson, which is natural!"
Ouyang Ye couldn't help but smile.
Ouyang Hu said this very domineeringly and very much like his taste.
After a break, Ouyang Hu said again: "Gao Qiang came back and did not explain the matter clearly, but I can guess it. Since you asked someone to take Chang San and the others in the Happy Building, you must have your own opinions on this matter and tell me to listen."
Ouyang Ye understood that this should be because Ouyang Hu wanted to use this matter to further understand how well he was enlightened.
If his mind and ability are ordinary, he will plant the root of disaster as the leader of the gang. With Ouyang Hu's love for his son, he will definitely have to give up the foundation of the Shenmu Gang to give full play to his son's life.
Ouyang Ye had long been convinced of this matter and immediately said, "This matter is likely to be Tian Yunong's plan to kill three birds with one stone. Whether the matter is successful or not, Deng Kui and Uncle Chang will not escape, and they will inevitably be out of the position of gang leader, so Tian Yunong will become the only candidate."
"Yeah." Ouyang Hu nodded after hearing this, agreed with Ouyang Ye's judgment, and then asked again: "If this matter is fully handed over to you, what would you do? Kill Tian Yunong?"
Ouyang Ye said: "Tian Yunong's behavior is bound to be killed. Even Deng Kui can no longer be a key gang in the gang leader. However, the child does not want to deal with them now. With Chang San and three, the child is equivalent to holding their handle in his hands, which can be delayed for a while and let his father pave the way for me to succeed the gang leader."
"When my father and I are ready, they will be tried publicly on the day when they are handed over as the leader of the gang. This will not only solve them, but also convince the public, but also allow the child to establish his authority in public. What does the father think the child will do this?"
At this time, Ouyang Hu had a happy smile on his face and said, "Ye'er, it seems that you are not the ordinary people's tricks, but the best tricks. Your idea of handling this matter is very good, but you must pay attention to preventing the consequences of Tian Yunong and Deng Kui being forced to do so."
"It should be noted that after being seriously injured, Deng Kui was the number one master of Jitang Pass. Tian Yunong, known as the eight-armed flying crane, is also quite powerful. In addition, Zhenzhong Railway Line Gate, Heshanhui, and even the Pai Gang on the River, and the Shennong Gang in the north may be mixed up."
"Although you are doing very tightly today, as long as Tian Yunong didn't see Chang San and others coming out and saw that you were fine, he would definitely guess that he had failed. If he was cruel, it would be difficult to escape from the Shenmu Gang, instigate Deng Kui to force the palace together, or collude with outsiders."
After saying that, Ouyang Hu looked at Ouyang Ye steadily, obviously wanting to continue taking the exam and see where his son's mind is.
But he didn't know that Ouyang Ye had also thought about this matter clearly, so he didn't even have a thoughtful expression, and smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. As long as the son is still stupid, the father will ask Uncle Chang to cooperate with the show and he will be able to hold Tian Yunong."
