After following Lu Kang for ten years, I have grown from an orphan without a father or mother to a man with a rock-solid heart today.

I'm out of school.

But as a master, Lu Kang didn't see me off, and he didn't even come out to see me for the last time.

I have no nostalgia, let alone sadness.

For ten years, I never offered half a stick of incense to my mother.

Because Lu Kang said that if you join his sect, you must cut off the past. This is his ironclad order.

In the cemetery on the west side of the town, I braved the 40-degree temperature to pull weeds from my mother's grave little by little.

After finishing, he put in three sticks of incense neatly and kowtowed three times.

Looking at the black and white photo of my mother on the tombstone, I apologized to her: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't do what you asked me to promise you before you left. But I will definitely avenge you, after all the humiliation."

I will not let go of any of your people."

I will definitely avenge my mother. As for why I don’t plan to avenge my father, it’s not that Lu Kang’s words had any effect on me.

I just simply hate my dad.

Because the reason why my mother ended up like this was all caused by him.

After leaving the cemetery, I looked at my phone.

Five thirty in the afternoon, June 24th.

This was the day I started my career, and it was also the day I started to stir up trouble.

Of course, I didn't rush to the station, but found the home of my former landlord, Lao Ma.

He came to a public phone booth and entered his mobile phone number, and the other party quickly answered it.

"Hello, hello, I saw your house rental information on the telephone pole. Two hundred a month, right?" I asked in a polite and polite tone.

"That's right, two hundred a month, not including water and electricity bills, and not including heating bills in winter. If you are interested, I will take you to see the house tomorrow."

I heard the landlord's voice, and the scene of that winter was vivid in my mind.

Before my mother passed away, she used the last money she had to pay my rent for two years, but I was kicked out by the landlord.

Ten years, a whole ten years, I have never swallowed this breath.

"No, I'm anxious to move in. Let's do this. You can show me the house now. If it's suitable, I'll pay half a year's rent directly. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll look elsewhere."

At that time, renting a house was paid monthly. When I heard that I was so willing to pay for half a year, the landlord's tone changed.

"Hey, don't bother, buddy, you called me already, which means we are destined. Where are you now? You must wait for me there, I will go there now!"

I randomly told him a street and he said it would take me 20 minutes.

In fact, I'm right across from his house now.

I saw the landlord hurried downstairs, riding a 28-year-old bicycle, and bumping along the muddy path.

Then he picked up the TV box prepared beside him and walked upstairs to his house.

Of course, what is placed in the TV box is not a TV, but a few bricks of about the same weight, wrapped in layers of black plastic bags.

A sophisticated scam cannot be separated from detailed preliminary investigation.

A few days ago, I had investigated and found out that the landlord had ordered a 40-inch color TV.

At that time, there were few stores in our county that could buy 40-inch color TV sets, and they had to be ordered from the city.

If it's faster, it'll take a week, if it's slower, it'll take half a month. For such an expensive thing, you have to pay a deposit first, and you can only pay when the goods arrive.

I knocked on the door, and the landlady opened the door. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a mean look and wearing an apron.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to deliver a TV to you. I met Brother Ma when I came up just now. He said that I can just deliver it directly. Come and help me."

As soon as she heard that I was here to deliver the TV, her face immediately showed an expression of joy.

"Oh, why did it arrive so soon? I've been thinking about it for more than half a month! Okay, come in quickly, be careful, and leave it here."

Under the direction of the landlady, I placed the box next to the wall.

I wiped the sweat off my head and said: "The speed of delivery mainly depends on when our company in the city can get the goods. No, we will deliver them to you as soon as the goods are available. Sister-in-law, the original price of this color TV

It’s 2,800 yuan. Excluding the 300 yuan deposit paid by Brother Ma, the balance of 2,500 yuan needs to be paid by you now.”

"Oh, okay, I'll check the color TV first. If there's no problem, I'll get you the money." The landlady said very warily.

This was completely within my expectation. The 2,800 yuan item is almost the landlord’s three months’ salary!

If it were me, I would inspect the goods first and then give you money.

But I said to the landlady: "Hey, sister-in-law, just now Brother Ma asked me to tell you that you have to wait until he comes back to open it."

"Why is this? If I don't open it and take a look, how can I get money for you?"

I said without changing my expression: "Brother Ma said that this color TV is no better than the big TV you used to have, so he has to install it himself. Don't worry, if there is a problem with the TV, our manufacturer is responsible for the return and exchange. But if you are installing it,

If there is an accidental bump during the process, you have to bear the responsibility yourself. Brother Ma just told me that he went to collect the rent and will be back soon."

Lu Kang said that human nature has its weaknesses.

As long as you can grasp the opponent's weaknesses, you can take the initiative.

Lao Ma's weakness is his greed for money. He was deceived out of half a year's rent and sent out without stopping;

Lao Ma's wife's weakness is that she is timid. She is afraid of hitting her head if a leaf falls, so she was frightened by my few words.

Especially the last sentence, I even told the landlord clearly what she was going to do, which made her completely let down her guard against me.

Then she took 2,500 yuan and handed it to me. Before she left, I said: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving. When my brother comes back, tell him that the warranty period is two and a half years, until the year after next."

On February 9th, if there is a problem with the TV, please call me anytime."

After saying that, I left the landlord's house with the two thousand five hundred dollars.

I believe that when Lao Ma sees this box of bricks and hears this date, he will definitely think of it.

Ten years ago on February 9, a woman died in his rental house.

He should also have thought that the woman's son had come back for revenge.

However, they were not the direct cause of my mother's suicide, so there was no need for me to deceive them into ruining their family.

I know who my real enemy is, but I can't find him yet!

In this way, I earned my first pot of gold after I became an apprentice. I saved a little of this money, and with the prices at that time, it was enough for me to spend for half a year.

I boarded the green train from Haixian to Haicheng. I have followed Lu Kang for so many years, and I know his habits.

When every orphan raised by him reaches the age of twenty, he will book a train ticket for them to go to other cities.

Haicheng is not an unfamiliar city to me. This rapidly developing city also has a lot of opportunities for people like me to show my talents.

I found my seat, but saw a woman already sitting on the seat.

I confirmed the ticket again and said to her: "Hello, beauty, this is my seat."

This is not a compliment, but she is definitely a beautiful woman.

She has fair skin and beautiful appearance, red lips and white teeth, slender legs, and thick black hair spread over her shoulders.

She was wearing tight jeans underneath, which outlined her plump figure, and she exuded a faint body fragrance.

I breathed the air without any fuss, and the carriage seemed to have become extraordinary because of her presence.

But the beauty's attitude towards me was not friendly. She frowned and said, "I originally wanted a window seat, but someone bought me the wrong ticket. Let's change seats. If that doesn't work, I'll give it to you."
