Fang Shiyu's performance can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
After all, he was still excited a moment ago, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly refused, which made everyone present very puzzled.
Wang Sancai didn't expect Fang Shiyu to suddenly change his mind, but he heard that Fang Shiyu's tone was not the kind of tough refusal, but a choice made out of desperation, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What? Don't you want to get out of your current life? Or do you think it's better to be a bandit leader with me? ”
"No, absolutely not! Please don't get me wrong!! Fang Shiyu hurriedly explained: "I really want to go with you, but I really can't." ”
"Oh?" Wang Sancai blinked: "I want to hear what you mean." ”
Fang Shiyu sighed. Worried that Wang Sancai would misunderstand his meaning, he walked up to Wang Sancai and turned to face the cottage, and his tone became complicated: "That's the case, I think, no one wants to live a day when they can't eat enough and sleep restlessly, and every day is a day when they eat the last meal and worry about the next meal, I don't have any intention of disliking your identity, in fact, I still don't know who you are, but for me, you must be a big man." ”
"Go on." Wang San found that the bandit leader's logical thinking was very clear, so he smiled kindly.
Even Mr. Hai on the side looked at Fang Shiyu's gaze faintly.
Fang Shiyu didn't notice these details. He sighed heavily. Looking at his small cottage with affection, his eyes flashed: "When I came out of the slums, I was poor and white, and I couldn't even find a decent wooden stick at that time, let alone the decent weapon in my hand now. ”
He looked down at the machete in his hand. Raising his head again, he looked at the cottage: "This village was built by my brothers and I little by little, day by day. All the weapons were also picked up day by day. I watched the cottage be built day by day, watched our numbers grow day by day, and watched our weapons and clothes become more and more complete day by day. Of course, there are also more bellies that need to be filled...... I take in any refugees and poor people who want to live, lead them to fill their stomachs in every way they can, and watch them put their hope in me...... And now, I finally have the opportunity to live the life I want......"
Speaking of this, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "But I suddenly found that I really can't let me selfishly abandon them!" Not at all! Although I don't have the ability, it is a problem to keep them fed and clothed, but they are all brothers who have shared weal and sorrow with me! It occurred to me that what would they do if I was gone? Where should I put the hope they had pinned on me? ”
Following his gaze, Wang San found that although the bandits standing in several rows on the opposite side were unclothed and lean, although their faces were confused and timid, they were ...... to his side No, it should be said that the gaze cast at Fang Shiyu was full of longing.
Wang Sancai suddenly realized that the low-status bandits on the other side might have felt extremely afraid of cultivators like themselves, but for their leader, their village master, and their big boss they had handed over everything they had, they believed in Fang Shiyu, and even Fang Shiyu was a kind of reliance and sustenance in their hearts, and they couldn't do without Fang Shiyu.
That's what a leader is all about.
"Although I am just a bandit leader with no interest, I really can't do what I can do to enjoy the glory and wealth by myself, but abandon the brothers who were born and died together, because when I think of my future food and clothing, I will think of whether they who once followed me and believed in me are still alive in this world."
Fang Shiyu's emotions were a little excited: "Since I gave them hope, since they trust me, I should always continue to have hope, and I have the responsibility to continue to be the owner of their village, instead of not being able to withstand the temptation of glory and wealth." ”
Wang Sancai didn't expect that a bandit leader who was born in a slum and had no education would say such a thing, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
And Mr. Hai took the initiative to step forward instead, looking at Fang Shiyu's eyes with a faint appreciation: "Well said!" You can have this awareness, you are already stronger than all the bandit leaders, and even many people, although your status is low, so you have to bow your head a lot of times, but you are a real man! It's a man!! ”
Mr. Hai's praise was not stingy at all, which made Wang Sancai a little surprised that this arrogant person would take the initiative to praise a little thief.
He took a step forward and walked to Fang Shiyu's side, but he didn't say anything of praise like Mr. Hai, but said with a straight face with the purpose of the test: "Sometimes, you have to make a choice between two dilemmas, further, glory and wealth are recruiting you, take a step back, it is still a hard life of not having enough to eat and sleep." ”
Fang Shiyu cast a grateful glance at Mr. Hai, but he didn't make any sycophants, he didn't look humble or arrogant, and smiled calmly at Wang Sancai: "I have already thought about it just now, I am willing to give up the opportunity of glory and wealth to Sun Da Niu, although it is a pity, but I don't have to live in self-blame and regret for at least the rest of my life." ”
Wang Sancai nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything to Fang Shiyu. Instead, he whispered to Mr. Hai, "Mr. Hai, take a step to speak." ”
With that, he turned around and walked back a few steps to an open field where no one was around.
Mr. Hai immediately followed, and after coming to Wang Sancai's side, he took the initiative to smile and said, "Mr. Wang, I like him, do you want to tell me the way to take him away?" ”
"I also like people like him who are affectionate and righteous." Wang Sancai smiled: "I don't know if Mr. Hai has any plans to take away all the thieves in this cottage?" ”
"Oh?" Mr. Hai was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what Wang Sancai meant: "What Mr. Wang means is that he wants to accept this Fang Shiyu." Do you have to take all his men together? ”
Wang Sancai nodded lightly: "Actually." I think that although they are all despicable bandits, with a leader like Fang Shiyu, usually the best is cohesion, and many of them have no cultivation value. But at least. I think. There should be a place for them in many places. ”
Wang Sancai looked at Mr. Hai's face was still a little puzzled, and continued: "For example, you can arrange some ordinary people's jobs for them. Or, give them a squad of guards, or invest a sum of money in them, so that they have the capital to start a business from scratch in the city, and then pay back the full amount when they make a profit, etc...... Of course, it depends on what Mr. Hai means. ”
"I understand Mr. Wang's hard work, but in fact, ......" Mr. Hai shook his head helplessly: "I don't have that much power, and I'm not sure if the patriarch disagrees with the formation of a group of bandits. ”
"Uncle Zhuang doesn't believe in Mr. Hai's vision?" Wang Sancai asked rhetorically.
Mr. Hai shook his head and smiled: "Before a qualified subordinate does anything, he will not bring even the slightest possibility of trouble to his loyal master. ”
"I see." Wang Sancai nodded, and pondered for a moment before saying: "In this way, I will take all these people away, they are all mine, if Uncle Zhuang is unwilling to take them in, then I will pay for them to have a place to stay in Feiliu City, how about it?" If Uncle Zhuang doesn't want some unstable factors to be in the main city of the banker, the towns on the other parts of the banker's territory are no problem. ”
"If you just live in the city, I don't think the patriarch will refuse." Mr. Hai nodded at first, but then said, "But, isn't Mr. Wang afraid of investment failure?" Investing in hundreds of people is a lot of money! ”
"What is it to be able to help someone who deserves to be helped, and to lose something outside of one's body?" Wang Sancai still smiled: "Moreover, I have to take that old man Li away, and let old man Li continue to live in the crowd he is familiar with, which is also a kind of compassion, isn't it?" ”
"Mr. Wang is really courageous!" Mr. Hai also smiled: "I also want to have Mr. Wang's courage, but I'm just someone else's subordinate, and I can't be the master." ”
"Okay, since Mr. Hai agreed, then let's not continue to waste time here, maybe the Liang family will send someone to hunt down me and Xiaobai." Wang Sancai restrained his smile and said with a straight face.
"I will do my best, I believe that the patriarch will definitely not give Mr. Wang this face." Mr. Hai also restrained his smile.
However, Wang Sancai shook his head and said: "I don't want Uncle Zhuang to be embarrassed, if he really doesn't want to, I will have other ways to settle them, okay, let's stop talking about it for now, let's get down to business." ”
Mr. Hymers was silent.
Fang Shiyu, who was not far away, had been looking at Wang Sancai and Mr. Hai strangely, feeling a little uneasy about what would happen next, seeing that the two of them suddenly turned back to him, standing in place and hesitating whether to meet him.
Just when he hesitated, Wang Sancai had already come to him, and took the initiative to say: "Fang Shiyu, now I will give you two choices, you have to think about it." ”
Fang Shiyu didn't know why, but his spirit was shocked.
"First, continue to be your bandit leader, you don't have to leave the place where you have poured half of your life into it, and your life in the future will be the same as before, and there will be no change at all." Wang Sancai said lightly.
Fang Shiyu bit his lip and nodded slightly.
Wang Sancai's tone suddenly became cold: "Second, you, with all your subordinates, all the people in this cottage, give up the cottage that you have spent several years of hard work to build, as well as your status in other bandit forces, all come with me, you may become the guards of the big family, eat well, sleep well, but it is only possible to ......"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, looked at Fang Shiyu's gradually excited appearance, and continued: "Even if you can't become the guard of the big family, then I guarantee that you will have something to do, and you will live a life of eating and sleeping, but all this requires you to be self-reliant...... You can make a choice. ”
After hearing this, Fang Shiyu's whole person was already stunned, he looked at Wang San blankly for a long time, and then said in disbelief: "But, but we are all bandits, even if we go to the city, we will be arrested and imprisoned by the guards if we have no identity." ”
"I guarantee that you will be treated the same as ordinary people, or even higher." Wang Sancai looked at him solemnly: "You will all have the status of commoners, not paupers. ”
Fang Shiyu was already excited and indescribable, he looked at Wang Sancai and even became a little incoherent: "My lord...... You, why are you so good to us bandits? ”
"No, not to you bandits, but to you." Wang Sancai shook his head and pointed at the frightened Old Man Li to correct Fang Shiyu's concept: "Because you planted a seed of good thoughts two years ago, and today, two years later, the seeds of good thoughts have borne fruit." ”
Wang Sancai's words were plain, but when they fell on Fang Shiyu's ears, they exploded in his heart like a thunderbolt!!
He may have thought that Old Man Li might bring a turn for the better in his life, but since he found out that Old Man Li had a problem with his head, he no longer had the luxury of expecting it, but he didn't expect that what he had been looking forward to actually came here inadvertently!!
Fang Shiyu said incoherently excitedly: "My lord...... My lord!! Can I know your name? ”
Wang Sancai looked at his excited appearance, and suddenly realized that helping others would really make him feel happy.
It's just that looking at Fang Shiyu's pious appearance, and the relaxed mood of helping others, Wang San suddenly had a little idea that was not a malicious spoof.
He straightened his waist, let himself smile as kindly as possible, and said heartily to Fang Shiyu: "Hahaha, you can only experience true happiness by doing good deeds without leaving a name, so you can call me a red scarf!" (To be continued.) )
