chapter 343, chapter 344(1/2)
At midnight, in front of the watermelon store.
Xie Feng looked at a young man in front of him with a puzzled look and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
The young man nodded and said sincerely: "Yes! Lord Feng Xie, please let me follow you!"
"Wait!" Xie Feng stopped quickly and asked, "First of all, who are you? Secondly, what do you mean by following me?"
The young man said in surprise: "Did you forget me, sir?"
Xie Feng suddenly got goosebumps and said, "Hey! Don't get close to you... I can't confirm you, but I can't recognize you. I guess they are all unfamiliar people - you just said that you should be a little more coquettish.
It's going to be rude."
The young man looked sad first, then shook his head hard and said, "Even if the adults forget me, I will not forget the adults!"
Xie Feng frowned and said, "Even if you say that, I still can't remember who you are... I really want to call molestation!"
The young man said sadly: "Sir! I am Cromwell. That night, I can't forget my heroic posture and momentum! Until today, I muster up the courage to follow you!"
Xie Feng turned around and shouted, "It's so bad! Eric protects you!"
...
Five minutes later, the watermelon store, inside the store.
Xie Feng sat comfortably on a rocking chair and said calmly: "It turns out that you are the half bucket of water named Cromwell in Shiba Zumury, who is in the water.
You don’t mind saying you, there is no point in looking down on you—it would have been better if you said it a long time ago!”
Cromwell touched the big bag on his head and said aggrievedly: "I wasn't going to say that..."
Xie Feng blamed: "Eric, you are really, why are you so serious? The young man is so handsome that he will be disfigured by you and can't get a wife. If you can't marry him?"
Eric said even more aggrievedly: "It was obviously the boss who called me to protect him..."
Xie Feng said angrily: "Oh my! I just convinced Xigua to ask her to pay you a salary last week, but you have revenged your kindness now, right? You dare to talk back, right?"
Eric hurriedly said, "Ah, no, no, boss, I was wrong!" At the same time, he said hatefully in his heart: "If I find a job, I will kill you with one stone!"
Xie Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, sir, don't remember the villain's past." Then he turned to Cromwell and asked, "What do you mean by saying you just said to follow me?"
Cromwell said respectfully: "Sir! First of all, please allow me to say thank you to you on behalf of the villagers of Shiba Zumer! If it weren't for you, we..."
Xie Feng interrupted, "Okay, okay, I heard a lot of your thanks a month ago... and the people you really want to thank may be sleeping on the hillside behind."
Cromwell said: "No matter what, if there were no adults at the beginning..."
Xie Feng interrupted again and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't seem to ask if you are grateful to me just now, right?"
Cromwell said, "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot the matter... Sir! Please let me follow you!"
Xie Feng covered his forehead and said, "So...I'm asking you what it means to follow me?"
Cromwell said: "Is it just for me to stay with me and help me do things?"
Xie Feng said angrily: "First, I don't need anyone to help you now. Second, and most importantly, why do you want to follow me?"
Cromwell said: "Because the actions of Lord Shba Zumer touched me, I thought Lord you are a very amazing person. If I could be with him, I would definitely have a future!
Instead of being cold-eyed in the village, being poor and hungry, it is better to follow the adults to come out and make a fuss! So I have sold all the land and property of my family. Now I really want to follow you!"
Xie Feng said angrily again: "First of all, even if you follow me, you won't have a chance. Look at that guy." As he said that, Xie Feng pointed to Eric on the side and said to Cromwell:
"He has been following me for more than a month. Do you think he has a promising future?"
Eric gritted his teeth in anger, and said, "Can you stop scolding me in front of me?"
Cromwell touched the bag on his head and said, "Judged by the strength he hits me, you can imagine that he is a very strong person. If you are willing to organize an adventure team,
He would probably be a good soldier!”
Xie Feng glanced at Eric and said, "Is he strong like this? If Master Kong is there, that punch can at least cause you to have a concussion." After sighing, Xie Feng continued to say to Cromwell.
: "Secondly, I didn't say that you would follow me... You have already sold all your property first. Do you want to make me compromise through such a destructive destruction?"
Cromwell scratched his head and said, "What does it mean to 'burn the boat'?"
Xie Feng explained: "Oh, it's a common saying in my hometown, which means not to leave a way out for yourself."
Cromwell exclaimed: "Sir, I am so knowledgeable, and I know such profound words."
Xie Feng said: "It's not good to understand the common sayings in your hometown, right? The other key point is not this, right? Didn't I already make it clear? I don't need followers, you'd better go back to your hometown, or find a place in Dukubari.
It’s okay to have a job, as long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later you will make a name for yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Cromwell's knees softened and he immediately knelt in front of Xie Feng.
Xie Feng said in surprise: "Ah! What are you doing? There is gold under the knees of a man, stand up quickly."
Unexpectedly, Cromwell not only did not stand up, but kept kowtowing to Xie Feng: "Master Feng Xie! Please let me follow you! I know, I know that you dislike me for not being good at learning, but I know a lot of things.
Although I am not deep, I will not know anything. Whether it is history, literature, weather, or architecture, I can do it. Even if I am not proficient, I can at least understand it. If I follow the adults, I will not be able to help them.
If you are busy, at least you won’t be able to hold back. I’m willing to do whatever you want me to do! Please let me follow you!"
Xie Feng grabbed the corner of Cromwell's clothes, and couldn't pull it up, and couldn't pull it away, so he had to say, "If you have anything to say, get up first." He winked.
Eric was furious and said, "Boss! Although I am not as obedient as him, you can't just scold me on the spot!"
Xie Feng was puzzled and asked, "What does it mean?"
Eric said: "Didn't your eyes just now hint me: 'Look, others are more obedient.'?"
Xie Feng covered his forehead and said, "Oh, who has time to scold you now? I asked you to pull him up."
When Eric heard this, he knew that he had a wrong understanding, and his face turned red and said quickly: "Yes! I'll pull it now." After that, he reached out to Cromwell with one hand.
Cromwell still kowtowed on the ground and said, "Sir, if you don't let me follow you, I will kneel... Huh?" As he spoke, Cromwell felt lighter and lost the dependent on the ground.
Feel.
Eric directly picked up the thin Cromwell and panted, "Boss, what should I do?"
Xie Feng looked at Cromwell who was being picked up in a strange position, then looked at Eric who was picking up Cromwell in a strange position, and immediately said "puff" and said with difficulty: "Don't move for now...
… Let me laugh for a while…hahahaha…”
Eric said angrily: "Boss!"
Xie Feng hurriedly said, "Okay. Let him down first... Oh, just put half of it and let him put his feet on the ground."
Cromwell was put down half of his body, and after he landed on the ground, he continued to beg Xie Feng: "Master Feng Xie, let me follow you!"
Xie Feng sighed and said, "Didn't I already say that, I don't want you to help you. I live a life of just eating and waiting for death every day. If not, you can ask Eric."
Eric nodded vigorously behind Cromwell.
Unexpectedly, Cromwell immediately said: "It's definitely not like this, sir! I can see that you are not like this! When I met you in Shiba Zumo, I was studying with me before.
The people you see who are really eating and waiting for death are completely different. Adult, your eyes were very firm at the beginning, and the outside was full of living dead people. Others, including your companions, were filled with fear and worry, even if
They were the soldiers who were murderous, and there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. Only you, sir, seem to not take the living dead outside at all. Everything is so calm and so peaceful! So,
Sir! I believe in you! You must not be an ordinary person!”
Eric was stunned and said, "Why can't I see it?"
Xie Feng hurriedly explained: "That's because I'm a life-threatening person, and it's not a pity to die, so I don't care."
Cromwell said: "No! It's not like this! Sir! It doesn't matter, and it's two different things, two realms!"
Xie Fengqi said, "Oh? What's the difference? Don't you take death seriously?"
Cromwell said: "I once saw someone who couldn't even eat to steal and was arrested and executed. At that time, he didn't care about his death, but he didn't care about his own death because he was powerless anyway.
Change and what is shown does not matter. It is like the attitude shown by those who still pretend to be calm."
Xie Feng asked, "What about me?"
Cromwell said: "Your Madam, it doesn't matter if you show it. You don't mind. It's like a war-torn general who found a young man under ten years old on the street holding a dagger to assassinate his own child.
Likewise, I don't take this so-called danger seriously at all - so, at that time I knew, sir, you must be an ordinary person. Even if you still have nothing and do nothing now, I believe that if you are given a chance, you will definitely have it.
Mogao's achievements are even comparable to legendary figures such as King Charlotte, King Wilson, Marshal Etherod, and General Xie Fengzuo!"
Xie Feng was stunned by what Cromwell said, then pretended to be calm and said, "You are too proud of me, I don't have such ambition."
Cromwell said: "Even if you have no ambitions, your future achievements will not be ordinary! My sir, although you look like you are not young, I believe you are not a few years older than me. Are you
I am willing to let your youth and energy be spent in mediocrity? My mentor has taught me - a few times in life, so what if you fail? Don't seek to be powerful, but don't regret it. It's because of this sentence
Only then did I be willing to abandon my family’s land and property and follow you! My sir! I don’t know why you don’t have an enterprising heart - this may be related to your physical fitness. But I firmly believe that not every success
All of them are strong and strong. Our mentor also told us that many people with physical disabilities have achieved great success in the end.”
Xie Feng's body trembled slightly and said, "It's not my body's business!" Yes, what's the reason? What makes me stop pursuing and willing to be ordinary and happy?
Since the shocking "Blood Battle of the Mid-Tian Valley", until now, Xie Feng, who has the money that he will never spend in his entire life, seems to no longer have the passion he used to be. He eats and drinks every day, and has no worries about food and clothing.
It's plain, comfortable, and nothing bad. Of course, Xie Feng didn't think about looking for Serra and the others again. But what's the use of going there? His directness at the beginning, his martial arts skills are outstanding,
He was so brave that he gathered so many companions. But now he has lost everything and has become a useless man who cannot even raise his hands above his shoulders. Do they still admit such a useless captain? Even if he admits, he is willing to do so.
Is it?
