His first
trip down the mountain: One late spring evening in the nineteenth year of the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, in Yingkou, a major city in Northeast China, at the Gao family compound.
Outside the Gao family compound, all was quiet except for the chirping of insects. Inside the spacious bedroom
of the Gao family, bright torches illuminated several mournful faces. The venerable Old Master Gao, his wife, two concubines, and the steward were
bound hand and foot, unable to move.
Old Master Gao, indeed a man of the world, remained unfazed even facing several masked men. The others
were all terrified, their faces ashen, trembling like leaves.
I gestured for the old man to be brought over. Fourth Brother, carrying a knife in one hand and lifting the frail Old Master Gao in the other, threw him
onto the sofa next to me. I hissed, "Do not be disrespectful to Old Master Gao." Fourth Brother lowered his head and retreated to
the side.
I removed the cloth from the old man's mouth, poured him a cup of tea, and fed it to him. The old man spoke, "Thank
you, sir. You see, there are things in my house that you like; take them as you please. But don't harm my wife and children
. I, Gao, have lived an upright and honest life, yet I still offended some people in the underworld.
" I sneered, "Old Master Gao, you are mistaken. With your cunning and ruthless
ways of extorting and taking countless lives, how can you claim to have lived an upright life?"
The old man's expression changed. Realizing we wouldn't kill him, he said, "Sir, don't believe others' slander
. I wonder which villain dared to slander me like this. If you would tell the truth, I would
offer you twenty thousand silver dollars and not mention tonight's events to anyone."
Damn it, he pulled this tactic? I clenched my fist, my knuckles cracking. The old man's face changed,
filled with shock and fear. He stared at me without uttering a sound.
I laughed heartily, "Grandpa, there's no need to panic. My brothers and I are neither instigated by anyone nor trying to kill
anyone to avoid trouble. We're just a little short on cash lately and need some money from you. Your family is wealthy and powerful; you wouldn't
think you could just send us away with a mere 20,000 silver dollars, would you?"
The old man stared blankly at his wife. I nodded, and the sixth brother immediately removed the
rag from the old woman's mouth. She burst into tears. Grandpa Gao was furious and hissed, "What are you crying for? I'm
not dead!"
The old woman stopped crying, "Good sir, take whatever you want. Don't kill us!"
I nodded in satisfaction and asked Grandpa Gao, "Shouldn't we have the steward take them to get the money?"
The old man asked in a low voice, "Where are my other family members?"
I patted his thin, bony shoulder and chuckled, "Don't worry, they're fast asleep."
The old man immediately sounded like he was about to cry, "You're not going to do anything to them, are you?"
Sixth Brother immediately flew into a rage: "Damn you! Didn't I say they're fine? If you keep bastarding
, I'll chop your head off!"
The old man's expression softened a little, and he said to the steward, "Gao Fu, take a few heroes to the storeroom to get the money." He then
winked, as if to say, "How could any of this escape my notice?"
I smiled slightly: "Grandpa Gao, I see you
won't shed tears until you see the coffin. If you dare to play any tricks, I'd be happy to break the rule of not killing, so my brothers won't
complain all the time that it's unlucky to have a knife without blood." With a flick of my wrist, a corner of the coffee table was immediately gone.
The old man was startled, let out a long sigh, and said to the steward, "Go, take the heroes to the storeroom."
Fearing the storeroom might contain hidden weapons or traps that could kill my brothers, I left Fifth Brother to watch over Old Master Gao, while I personally
escorted Gao Fu and led the remaining brothers to the storeroom.
Gao Fu cautiously led us through several turns to the main hall. The Gao family was indeed the Gao family; the
hall was tastefully and elegantly furnished, exuding wealth and refinement. He went straight to
the portrait of Sun Yat-sen, pressed a button on the lower left corner, and with a soft creak, a large hole, about five feet square, appeared in the wall next to the altar
. Moving the altar aside, he said timidly, "Heroes, this is it."
Seventh Brother immediately rushed ahead of me, saying, "I'll go in first." He then pushed Gao Fu inside, carrying a long knife.
After a thorough search, everyone was somewhat surprised. There were over a dozen paintings and calligraphies by famous artists from previous dynasties and the Tang and Song periods
. A square black wooden box was filled with gold bars, a box of silver ingots, and several large boxes of silver dollars. On a long table
, white animal hides were laid out, neatly arranged with many antique jade artifacts, South Sea pearls, agate, and porcelain ornaments. Thanks to
the beggar at the city gate, if he hadn't casually mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that such a small place as Yingkou had such a wealthy
family. I noticed an antique longsword and an exquisite short bow hanging on the wall. I took the sword, pressed the trigger
, and with a clang, the blade was drawn, exuding a chilling aura. Good stuff, I took it all. According to Gao Fu,
the sword and bow were confiscated from the home of a military officer from a previous dynasty who was accused of treason by the then-magistrate Gao.
Old Liu exclaimed in admiration: "My goodness, Gao Fu, your Gao family is truly wealthy!"
Gao Fu was both amused and exasperated: "Most of these were accumulated by the master when he was a county magistrate and county head in the previous dynasty.
Take them if you like." "
I just want money, I don't care about anything else," the sixth brother cursed angrily, and he and the seventh brother carried a box of silver dollars out.
Seeing my eighth brother staring in disbelief, I kicked him: "You silly goose, you little bear, what are you looking at? Take what you like!
" The eighth brother snapped out of it, plopped down on the long table laden with antiques and jade, and laughed heartily: "I'm rich! I'm rich!" What a scoundrel
! I was seething with hatred. I kicked him away, and he angrily grabbed the small box of gold bars and left. The sixth and
seventh brothers returned, looking at the table full of treasures with disbelief. Gao Fu explained that the master liked
to come and play with them when no one was around.
What a miser!
I noticed an empty sack nearby and picked out half a sack of South Sea pearls and jadeite items, thinking they would definitely come
in handy later.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only some ceramics and calligraphy remained in the storeroom. I selected a few pieces, thinking the third brother
would definitely like them.
The fifth brother, still unwilling to give up, grabbed the head steward's collar, "What treasures do you have left?" The head steward cried, "
Gone, all gone!" Tears streamed down his face.
Suddenly remembering something, I asked the head housekeeper, "What did your master mean when he winked at you just now?"
The head housekeeper replied, "Master wanted me to take you to the main storeroom, where clothes, fabrics, and miscellaneous
items are stored. There's a mechanism by the door; if you press it, these heroes will likely be trapped in an iron cage."
Damn it, trying to trick me!
Back in Old Master Gao's bedroom, the eighth brother patted the old man's shoulder with a grin and said, "Old Master Gao is indeed
very wealthy, with countless riches and treasures." Upon hearing this, the old woman cried out and fainted on the spot. The old man
sighed, "So be it, so be it. You can't take it with you when you die. Exchanging these worldly possessions for the peace of the family
is worth it."
The two concubines struggled, whimpering. I gestured to the fifth brother to remove the gags from their mouths, and one of them
immediately burst into tears: "Old Master, I never imagined you would be so unfair! I married into your family at seventeen, bore
you children, and yet you kept this hidden treasure from me!" The two concubines were also crying
, probably in similar situations.
The old man lowered his head in shame, probably thinking that if he had known this would happen, he would have given them more.
Seeing the family's miserable state, and remembering that it was only March, and the harvest was still far off, and that such a large family
needed to make ends meet, I said to everyone: "Leave them a chest of silver dollars; the family needs to live on."
The old man's face lit up slightly: "Thank you, heroes, thank you, heroes."
The fifth and sixth brothers re-gave the gags and re-tied Gao Fu. I clasped my hands in a salute and
said to the Gao family: "Thank you for your kindness, Old Master Gao. Your children and grandchildren will wake up tomorrow morning and untie you. Everyone,
we brothers will take our leave now."
Good heavens, the carriage was almost half full. After everything was packed up, the fifth brother made a bird call, and the second and third brothers
ran out from the shadows. Seeing me, they said happily, "Big brother, we've really hit the jackpot today,
haven't we?" Before I could even speak, the eighth brother grinned and said, "Enough for us to eat and drink for generations. By the way, big brother,
didn't you notice? The third concubine of the Gao family has such damn big breasts. If you weren't going to scold us, we would have definitely
given her a good beating." "You
spineless bastards!" everyone cursed.
The eighth brother looked aggrieved and pointed at everyone, saying, "I said... I said... You guys are playing the saint again, aren't you? Fine
, fine, you're ruthless."
Looking at the sky, it was almost four in the morning, time was running out. So I told the brothers to change their clothes and head back.
The second and third brothers and I sat in the back of the carriage, and the eighth brother drove. The rest of the brothers disguised themselves as servants and rode along empty-handed
.
When we reached the city gate, it wasn't open yet. The patrol officer on duty was drooling and snoring,
fast asleep on a haystack beneath the city gate tower. Several other soldiers, rifles in hand, were also dozing on the haystack.
Hearing a voice, they immediately awoke and shouted, "Who is it? The city gate won't open until it's time!" Eighth
Brother alighted from the carriage, bowing and scraping to the soldiers with a fawning smile, saying, "Gentlemen, my young master is going back to his hometown to visit
relatives. He needs to be back tonight, so he's setting off a little early."
One of the soldiers looked him over and thought the entourage resembled that of a young master—tall horses, a luxuriously decorated carriage,
strong and burly attendants, even the driver was well-dressed. He asked, "Whose young master is this, in such
a hurry to leave?" Eighth Brother, beaming, quickly replied that it was the Gao family. The soldier went to consult his superior, who stretched
and yawned, asking, "Who the hell wants to leave the city in the middle of the night?"
The soldier replied, "It seems to be the third young master of the Gao family; I heard he's going home to visit relatives."
The superior impatiently said, "Alright, go check the carriage. See if there's anything suspicious. If not,
open the city gate."
The soldier responded and led several other soldiers to check the carriage. Lao Ba immediately handed two gold bars
to the yawning superior. The superior didn't even look at them and stuffed them under a pile of hay.
Just as the soldiers were about to lift the carriage curtain to inspect it, the superior yawned and spoke, "San Biaozi,
are you done checking? If so, let them through."
Lao Ba smiled obsequiously, handed over a few silver dollars, and said, "Brothers, you've worked hard on night duty; this is just a small token for you
to have some tea.
" San Biaozi immediately beamed, repeatedly saying, "Of course, of course," and opened the city gate.
Once outside the city, the third brother was a little worried, but the eighth brother said, "What are you worried about? Those soldiers are all Liu Shiquan's
confidants. Liu Shiquan took two gold bars this time; they won't betray us. Don't worry. Besides, even
if they did, would they be able to find us?"
Before the effects of the host's medicine completely wore off, the eighth brother returned the borrowed horse and cart, and everyone
hurriedly loaded the things onto the car. They drove south.
All around was quiet, except for the chirping of insects and the sound of the car engine. The bright headlights pierced the darkness of the night
as they sped north towards their home. No one spoke again. Their first trip out of the mountains had yielded such a
great harvest, and this time they had thoroughly slaughtered those heartless, hypocritical beasts. They were all secretly pleased.
Letting the cool spring night breeze carry the fragrance of flowers, I soon fell asleep.
Searching for a place to stay.
The car bumped along the highway, like a childhood cradle. When I woke up, it was already dawn, and we had
arrived at our temporary lodging, two small cabins deep in the woods, from Yingkou. Since it wasn't logging season,
these two cabins wouldn't be used for months. I asked Lao Ba, "Have you cleaned up all the tire tracks?"
Actually, this question was unnecessary. With their experience and the recent spring rain,
the tracks had been completely wiped away, not even the smell of gasoline remained—washed away by the rain. Even a wolfhound probably couldn't smell it
.
We hastily ate some beef jerky and dry steamed buns, drank a few sips of wine, and then everyone went to catch up on sleep, leaving the alert
Lao Si on guard.
When I woke up, the sun was high in the sky. Seeing my greedy brother, Lao Ba, clutching several gold bars and grinning foolishly with his eyes closed,
I felt that the world was truly wonderful.
Everyone gradually woke up and started taking inventory. I told Lao Si to go to sleep, but he was too excited to fall asleep
. After a month of scouting, we finally captured the Gao family. A careful inventory revealed the immense gains we'd made on this trip, and
a chill ran down my spine – continuing like this would surely bring disaster. The third brother, seeing the calligraphy and painting I'd brought him, was so moved
he punched me hard in the chest. Everyone was like children celebrating the New Year, laughing and playing excitedly.
But I wasn't happy at all. Seeing this, they quickly asked why. I sighed, "This place
is good, but to have a place to retreat to later, I want to find a place with the brothers to set up camp."
Everyone immediately agreed and offered suggestions. The third brother roared, "Damn it, listen to your brother!
What are you all yelling about?" Everyone looked at me. I told them my idea: we needed
a place near mountains and water, secluded and easy to defend. The brothers looked at each other, dumbfounded. Except for the eighth brother, the others had
all come from inside the Great Wall. The eighth brother coughed and said, "Well, of course, I'd like to go with my seven brothers
to search, since I know the area better."
So, after setting up traps and planting homemade landmines in front of the door, I left the seventh brother to watch the treasures in the room, and
set off with the five of us.
I decided to search south, and for over half a month, we searched south from about ten miles south of Liaoyang, but to no avail. The
eighth brother suggested, "Why don't we avoid the highway and head into the mountains?" Everyone thought about it and agreed. So,
we started with a side path, surveying the terrain and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Northeast China.
Suddenly, the fifth brother tugged at my clothes and whispered, "Brother, what do you think of this one?" We
looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a range of gray-green mountains, no different from the others. The eighth brother scoffed and
said, "Fifth brother, your judgment isn't that great either."
The fifth brother kicked him and said, "You don't know anything! This mountain may look no different from others, but
it's self-contained, with cliffs on three sides. Only this side is accessible, making it a good place." Indeed, a
good place. We split into two groups, one exploring the terrain to see if there were other ways to ascend. After nearly two hours,
we regrouped. The consensus was: the mountainside had three cliffs over twenty feet high, covered in vines, with a stream
flowing down from the summit, all hidden in the shade of ancient trees. Even monkeys would have difficulty climbing it, let alone humans. Furthermore,
the base and upper slopes were covered in trees, forming a seamless forest from a distance. This was a natural barrier, an
excellent place.
The fifth brother had done a great job and deserved a reward! He scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "How about I reward you with a
woman with big breasts to keep me company for one night?" Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
It was another spring night with thunder and torrential rain. We carried all our belongings, and after erasing
any trace of the cabin, we solemnly and joyfully set off for the mountain that would soon be our home! Eight
people made several trips, finally getting the whole truckload of stuff up the mountain. The car was parked in a dark, dense forest at the foot of the mountain,
just in case.
"Damn it, this slope is so winding and steep!" complained the third brother. "If we have more stuff later, we'll have to
carry it like this again; it'll be exhausting!"
The second brother seemed lost in thought, chin in hand, pondering something; no one paid him any attention.
At the summit was a flat area about seven zhang square. The third brother exclaimed excitedly, "This is truly a stroke of luck! Once we clear away the weeds and
collect the pebbles, it'll be a perfect training ground!" I,
however, didn't think so. I suggested that the fourth brother stay behind to watch the stuff, and the seven of us split into two groups to familiarize ourselves with the area first
. I led the third and fifth brothers to explore from north to south, while the others went from east to west.
I carried the sword we'd seized from the Gao family, while the third and fifth brothers carried their long knives. We carefully cleared
a path through the branches and weeds. The mountaintop and its slopes were nothing but forest; the north side was blocked by a cliff.
We even managed to hunt a few rabbits. Reaching the south side, we were surprised to find another cliff. Suddenly, the sharp-eyed
fifth brother spotted a small cave and rushed in, chasing away the snakes and rats. It turned out to be much more spacious inside. It was about two zhang
high, one zhang deep, and over four zhang wide. The fifth brother used his knife to clear away the branches and waist-high weeds at the entrance.
The cave immediately became much brighter.
"This cave could serve as a meeting place for brothers to discuss important matters, but it's a bit too dark,"
I said, somewhat disappointed. While the third and fifth brothers carefully examined the cave, I daydreamed, envisioning how to arrange this future
meeting place.
The cave was fairly flat; we could level it with gravel and then lay stone slabs on top. The uneven stone walls were
minor issues. The real problem was the lack of light. Fifth Brother, perched on Third Brother's shoulders, was looking at something, but Third Brother kept telling him he
was too heavy and to get down.
Fifth Brother went outside and soon poked his head in through a five-foot square hole in the stone wall.
He had cleared away the weeds outside, making the inside of the cave no different from the outside.
"It's alright on sunny days, but when it rains, it leaks in through this hole," Fifth Brother complained.
"That's easy to fix. Just dig a ditch outside the hole to drain the rainwater, and add a roof over it."
"Alright, let's go see what they've found over there." The front of the mountain was like this; maybe there was
a better spot on the back.
Fifth Brother, carrying the rabbit he'd hunted, hurriedly followed.
Fourth Brother, seeing the several plump rabbits, kept urging us to roast them and eat them. We quickly grabbed a knife and got to work.
The front mountain connecting to the back mountain is a narrow-at-the-top, wide-at-the-bottom section, about six feet wide and two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in length, covered with
wild grass and vines on the black soil. The second brother and his men had already cleared a path.
We climbed the back mountain and, following the trail, soon found the second brother. He seemed very excited and quickly reported
that this back mountain was the real gem. A large forest, at least six or seven thousand acres, covered the summit,
with many towering trees that would take two people to encircle.
The other three went to the mountainside, while the second brother led the way, reporting as he went. The fifth brother whistled, and
a response immediately came from the southern mountainside. The four of us followed the sound downwards. Hearing our voices,
the seventh brother excitedly greeted us, grabbing my hand and grinning from ear to ear, "Big brother, come and see, haha!"
It turned out to be another huge cave, over ten zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) high, over fifty zhang (approximately 33 meters) wide, and over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) deep,
pitch black inside. The seventh brother, like a feng shui master, looked and pinched the cave. Seeing me arrive, he ran over
excitedly, saying, "Big brother, this cave was naturally formed in the middle of the rock! Look how spacious it is! We
don't even need to build houses anymore, hahaha!"
"Hmm, this place is really good. God has been kind to us brothers. Hey, where's Eighth Brother?" I asked
Fifth Brother.
"Oh, he took a torch and went into the cave with Sixth Brother."
Third Brother, a foreign student studying explosives, carried his equipment. So he volunteered, "Brothers, follow
me, let's go in and take a look."
He shone his foreign gadget, and the bright light immediately illuminated an area of about ten feet. "This is called a flashlight," Third Brother
said proudly. "Abroad, it's military supplies, a high-end gadget, ordinary people can't afford it." Seventh Brother, holding a lantern
, cursed, "Don't show off, it's just as bright, hahaha."
The group followed the uneven path, groping their way forward in the cave, which was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Although the cave was
pitch black, they could still feel that it was extending upwards. In the blink of an eye, the view brightened
, revealing a completely different world. In the center, a large cave, about twenty feet square, was densely
covered with over twenty holes of varying sizes. Old Eight emerged from one of the smaller holes, excitedly exclaiming, "Damn
it! This world is amazing! We actually discovered such a treasure trove!"
I took Old Three's flashlight and went into one of the caves. Aside from being a bit dark, the walls were smooth and
dry, and the floor was flat, about one and a half feet square.
Afterward, we happily discussed how to make better use of the caves. As we talked, someone's stomach
started rumbling, remembering Old Four roasting wild rabbits on the front mountain.
Back on the front mountain, eight roasted rabbits were neatly arranged on wooden sticks over the fire, their aroma filling the air, oil
dripping into the flames.
Everyone's mouths watered, and each person ate a roasted rabbit and drank a bowl of wine. The third brother, greedily
gnawing on a rabbit leg, muttered, "This rabbit smells so good. Fourth brother, did you bring salt?"
The sixth brother chuckled and said, "No, he didn't bring it. I peed on your meat." Everyone laughed, and
the third brother tossed a bone to the sixth brother.
After finishing our meal, I started thinking about how to build our stronghold. I gathered all the brothers together and
started by naming the mountain. Some suggested Dragon Tiger Mountain, others Zhendong Mountain, each with a different meaning. Finally, the second brother thought
for a moment and said slowly, "Brothers, look at this mountain. The front is high, like a bull's head. The back is low, like a bull's body.
The front is undulating, while the back is flat. They are closely connected, except for a narrow path in the middle, which resembles a bull's neck. I suggest
naming it Funiu Mountain."
After some thought, they named it Funiu Mountain. The villagers discussed how to organize the stronghold, and finally reached
a conclusion: All money and goods obtained from the stronghold would belong to all the brothers, and where and how they were spent would be
determined by the leader. Personal expenses would be collected from the second brother, with each person allowed no more than five hundred silver dollars per month.
The front mountain was only a mile from the Sui River; a floating dock would be secretly built in the reeds along the river for
loading and unloading goods by small boats.
Ten bunkers and sentry posts would be set up along both sides of the main road leading up the front mountain. These would serve to monitor incoming enemies and
provide covert fire support. The third brother would be responsible for assigning personnel to the bunkers and sentries.
The open space on the front mountain would be filled in and used as a drill ground for checking personnel before leaving the mountain.
A road would be paved from the drill ground to a cave on the front mountain, which would then be used as a meeting hall.
The path at Niubozi would be paved with stone slabs and seven feet wide.
Some large trees in the back mountain forest will be cut down for earthwork, creating a training ground for military drills, and a
set of houses will be built.
The first level of the back mountain cave will be used for training soldiers in shooting, and the second level will be used for refuge.
The vulnerable points at the foot of the mountain will be filled, and the second brother volunteered to take on the task.
After assigning tasks, the first important thing was to recruit manpower. The eighth brother revealed that this year's spring drought
had resulted in poor wheat harvests in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, and that the Chiang, Feng, and Li factions were fighting fiercely there, so many people would be fleeing
to the Northeast for refuge. I immediately sent a message by carrier pigeon to Liu Shiquan in Yingkou, asking him to smooth things over, promising to
pay double the amount needed.
The next day, Liu Shiquan replied that ten large ships would arrive in Yingkou in the next few days, carrying an estimated six or seven thousand people to the Northeast.
Upon receiving the news, I immediately notified the brothers to prepare to set off. I set off with the fourth, sixth, and eighth brothers, along with ten gold
bars and a bag of silver dollars, while the other brothers stayed behind. The second brother was busy studying his machinery, and the third brother was busy preparing gunpowder.
The seventh and fifth brothers had nothing to do, so they stayed on the mountain preparing and taking care of their belongings.
When
we arrived in Yingkou, Liu Shiquan had already made arrangements. He had set up a banquet in his living room,
dismissed his family, and closed the door. He muttered, "The officer in charge of the negotiations this time, Yan Datong, was my
former superior. I had to use a gold bar to get him to talk, damn it!" He then angrily pounded
his fist on the table.
I took a sip of my drink, patted Liu Shiquan on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Liu, don't be angry. A thousand miles of officialdom is only for money. As
long as he's willing to accept it, everything is negotiable, hahaha." I immediately took out two gold bars and handed them to him. The old man
wrinkled his nose, picked up his drink, and said, "Brothers, let me toast you all, bottoms up!"
Everyone drank together, and after six rounds of drinks, Liu Shiquan asked, "Brother, how many men do you need?"
I held up one finger.
"A thousand men? My goodness, you're amazing!"
"No, I only need a little over a hundred, but they have to be strong and fit."
"Oh, a hundred or so men are easy to find. Brother, if I ever have nowhere else to turn, I
'll come up the mountain with you." "No, as long as I'm here, you won't have nowhere to turn. Besides, you have important
things to do in the city, and you'll have plenty of gold and silver."
Liu Shiquan nodded, and said thoughtfully, "The current situation is chaotic, beset by internal and external troubles.
Although I, Liu, am a warrior, I can only guard a city gate every day, with no use for my skills." After saying that, he sighed and
downed a cup of wine.
I filled his cup and clinked glasses with him: "As long as Brother Liu has such lofty ambitions, why worry about a hero having no place to use his talents?
Hahaha."
"Brother, then I'll take your good wishes and wait for your good fortune," Liu Shiquan downed another cup, slurring his words,
"Shall we go find Yan Datong this afternoon?"
The five of them rented a carriage and met this Yan Datong, a fat, shrewish official.
After accepting a gleaming gold bar, his fat face beamed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and he grinned, saying:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll have them all stand there and you can choose, how about that?"
I patted Yan Datou on the shoulder. "Then we'll have to rely on Commander Yan."
Yan Datou suddenly said, "These gold bars look so familiar, could they be from Old Master Gao's place?
Hahaha."
I asked curiously, "Gold and silver are all the same all over the world. Commander Yan, don't talk nonsense.
Old Master Gao? Is it the number one figure in Jincheng, Old Master Gao Bang?"
Yan Datou said seriously, "That's right, at the beginning of this month, Old Master Gao's family was kidnapped by a bandit and almost wiped
out The door was open, and most of the family's belongings were looted. It wasn't discovered until the next morning. That bearded man was incredibly audacious, daring to ask
Old Master Gao for money. And he left no clues whatsoever. The police had been searching for so long, but
hadn't found a single clue. Old Master Gao was furious and hired several foreign policemen, but they
were still completely baffled. Truly brilliant
! I nodded. "Oh. The situation these days is getting more and more chaotic. From top to bottom, everyone's trying to
make a quick buck. It's just that the common people are suffering, their lives are becoming increasingly difficult." I sighed deeply.
Yan Datou nodded, somewhat agreeing: "Yes, people like us with lowly official positions can only barely survive in
this chaotic world, just trying to make ends meet." *Damn it!* One gold bar could feed your whole family
for decades, and you're still complaining about being poor. I cursed inwardly.
Yan Datou abruptly changed the subject, "Brother, where do you work? Someone who dares to come and pick people from among the refugees is no ordinary
person."
I pulled a small red booklet from the pocket of my Zhongshan suit, flashed it, and then stuffed it back in.
"Oh, hahaha, so you're from the Marshal's mansion! My apologies!" Yan Datou's fat face immediately plastered with
a fawning smile.
I clasped my hands in a fist and palm salute: "Commander Yan, you're too kind. We brothers have come here simply to recruit a few men, to
do our bit for the country. Unlike you, Commander Yan, who is responsible for the livelihood of these refugees—a heavy responsibility, and your hard work is truly commendable
!"
"Not at all, not at all, it's my duty, my duty. It's just that in the future, I might have to trouble you to put in a good word for me and
promote me, hahaha." His fat face trembled with laughter; I felt like vomiting.
I readily agreed and told him that this matter shouldn't be known to anyone else, otherwise everyone would be in trouble. Yan
Datou knew the old marshal was ruthless, and although the young marshal was young, his right and left hands were still the old marshal's sworn brothers . He
immediately nodded vigorously.
After learning the ship would dock the next morning, we got up to take our leave. Yan Datou politely saw us to the door. To
appear more like someone from the marshal's mansion, I adopted a proper military gait, looking quite imposing, which I found
amusing. Yan Datou quietly instructed his servants to follow us. I heard this clearly and gave him
a wink. We strode confidently towards the bustling city without looking back. We stopped in front of a restaurant called "Cuihonglou,"
and the servants immediately turned back to report.
A flamboyantly dressed madam greeted us, "Gentlemen, please come in. You look unfamiliar, is this your first time
in our little town? Come on, let me take you upstairs to your private rooms."
Looking at the room full of heavily made-up, alluring women, and stimulated by their fragrance, Lao Ba and Liu Shiquan
rubbed their hands excitedly. I laughed, "Brother, this time you can choose two big-breasted girls to play with."
Lao Ba swallowed hard and said, "Sir, you choose first."
I chose one whose makeup wasn't too heavy, and the madam immediately gave me a thumbs up, saying, "Sir, you have a good eye!
You picked our top girl, Little Red, at first glance. What a coincidence!" The girl immediately came up and took my hand, leading me
out. I turned back and said, "Brothers, have fun! We'll meet here afterwards."
After entering the room, I immediately put my arm around the girl's slender waist, gently stroking her full buttocks, and asked her name.
"My name is Xiaohong," Xiaohong answered sweetly, as she undressed me.
She touched the pocket of my shirt and asked curiously, "Master, what's in that bag? It's so hard
."
I patted Xiaohong's plump bottom and chuckled, "That's a secret, I can't tell you. My
hard thing isn't in my clothes, it's tucked in my pants, haha."
Xiaohong lightly punched me, helping me strip naked. I didn't hesitate to remove her clothes as well
, leaving her in only a pink bodice and white underwear. Although she wasn't overtly dressed
, when she took them off, I was quite surprised—what a voluptuous, fair-skinned, and beautiful
young woman!
Xiaohong hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Master, let's take a bath first."
I picked her up and carried her to the inner room. Those eight silver dollars weren't wasted; hot water for the bath had already been arranged
, and cotton towels and soap were neatly placed.
I stripped Xiaohong naked, then picked her up and stepped into the wooden tub. She blushed slightly and nestled against my
chest without making a sound. I lifted her chin, kissed her, and asked why she was blushing, if she had fallen in love with me.
Xiaohong blushed again and murmured, "I don't know, but there's something about you that I can't quite put my finger on,
it makes me feel so flustered."
I laughed heartily and unceremoniously grabbed one of her large, full breasts and began to knead it,
while my other hand was also busy, gently stroking her back. Xiaohong groaned, got up, picked up some soap, and started applying it to my body
, asking as she washed, "Master, do you like Xiaohong?"
I grabbed her two nipples with one hand and gently kneaded them, "If I didn't like you, how could I have fallen for you?"
Xiaohong lay on top of me, and I lay back, enjoying the pleasure of her warm, tender, and full body rubbing against me
. The little beauty sat in my lap, leaning against me, her full breasts pressing against my chest. She held me tightly with both hands
. I kissed her earlobe and neck, one hand around her smooth, slender waist, the other
gently kneading her large buttocks. Then I slid down to the bottom of her buttocks, touching her most secret and softest
place. She trembled slightly and moaned, "Master, let me help you wash up first."
She then bent over and began to scrub her clean again. My hands roamed over her body, from her full
breasts to her flat stomach, then to her thick pubic hair and plump, rounded thighs.
Little Red moaned softly as she grasped my penis. Under the kneading and rubbing of her delicate, full hands
, my penis swelled. She whispered, "Master's is so big, be gentle with Little Red later."
I held one of her full breasts, and gently stroked the tender flesh of her plump vulva with the other hand, whispering,
"Xiao Hong, you haven't washed inside yet
, have you?" Xiao Hong looked up, glancing at me shyly, "How do you wash inside? Do you let my cock go in
and wash it?"
I lifted her buttocks with both hands, pulled her onto my lap, and, holding my cock,
thrust it into her tender flesh. This little girl was already overflowing with spring water inside, and my cock went in halfway in. She let out
a soft cry, "Oh, so full, so comfortable," and then she leaned her whole body against me, my cock fully inserted
. The slippery, warm tender flesh tightly enveloped my cock, indescribably comfortable.
Floating in the hot water, Xiao Hong hugged my neck, her legs half-kneeling in the wooden tub, gently moving up and down
, moaning. I held her full breasts with one hand and gently held her waist with the other, our lower
bodies pressed tightly together, moving up and down.
Xiao Hong's face was flushed, her eyes glazed with desire. She moaned softly, gently biting my ear, "Oh...my
heart...is almost...flying away, oh...so good..."
My rock-hard penis thrust forcefully deep into her tender flesh, her vagina growing hotter and tighter, and
she moved faster and harder, her movements becoming increasingly rhythmic. I felt my penis
tightly enveloped in a hot, wet mass of soft flesh. I picked her up. She shivered at the cold, crying out how chilly it was outside. I turned
her over; her hands were on the edge of the tub, her round buttocks facing me, her plump, tender red vagina glistening with lustful fluid
, her lovely labia playfully parted like a beautiful flower. I held my penis and
thrust it hard into the center of that alluring flower. Xiao Hong gasped and began moaning again.
To keep her warm, I picked up a gourd ladle and poured hot water on her back. While thrusting, I kneaded her
large, swollen breasts.
Xiao Hong's tender vagina tightened more and more, her moans grew louder, and I knew she was about to climax. So I stopped watering,
pinched one of her large breasts with one hand, rubbing her nipple, and thrust forcefully. The only sounds in the room were
the slapping of flesh against flesh and Xiao Hong's joyful moans.
Suddenly, I felt a warm flow drip down my glans, followed by her vaginal contractions, and then she cried out,
"Master, I'm going to die..." Her whole body trembled slightly. I held her tightly, letting my hot, hard penis
gently move in and out of her overflowing, tender flesh, gently rubbing her erect head, biting her reddened
earlobe and asking, "Feeling good?" She nodded contentedly.
After a while, she said, "Master, my legs are a little cold, it seems like that's leaking out." I touched them,
and sure enough, this little girl was really wet.
The two of us washed in hot water again, and after drying off, I gently placed Xiao Hong, whose face was still flushed, on
the bed. I slowly admired this beauty. Her alluring face, her bright, watery eyes, her large, teardrop-shaped breasts, and her pink
nipples made me want to bite them. Below her smooth, white belly was a lush forest, where
a pool of water could make a man's blood boil.
Xiao Hong sat up and hugged me, saying, "Master, you haven't had enough yet. Now let Xiao Hong relieve
your fire."
I lay down, and Xiao Hong knelt between my legs, her cherry-like mouth taking my penis in and out, licking and sucking,
making a slurping sound. I had never felt such pleasure before; it was different from the feeling inside her vagina.
I sat up, gently stroking her smooth, white back, watching her little mouth move in and out of my swollen penis
.
I gestured for Xiaohong to come closer, and she obediently took my penis in her mouth, shifting her body closer to me
as she knelt on the bed, diligently licking it. As I kneaded her large breasts, I thought: A few girls like this
would be good for rewarding the brothers who had performed great deeds in the mountain stronghold; on the one hand, it would boost morale, and on the other hand, it wouldn't
let them get lost in the pleasures of love.
Seeing that the time was right, I lifted her head. Xiaohong asked, "Master, do you prefer to be on top, or do you want
me to sit on top?" I said, "I'll be on top for now, and you can come up when I get tired."
Xiaohong obediently lay down, spreading her jade-like legs, revealing her delicate, red vulva. This little girl was really wet; she
was already overflowing again. I squatted on the bed, pressed close to the base of her thighs, raised my swollen penis, and
was about to thrust it all the way in. Xiaohong sighed contentedly, and began to moan with the rhythm of my thrusts.
I grabbed her large breasts with both hands, using a three-shallow-one-deep, nine-shallow-one-deep method of thrusting.
Xiao Hong's small mouth was slightly open, and she moaned softly. Her eyes were tightly closed, her cheeks were flushed, and her hands gripped my
hands tightly as I kneaded her breasts, as if afraid I would run away. I felt my glans becoming more and more numb, knowing I was about to ejaculate. So I quickened
my thrusts, each time going all the way in, one hand kneading her breasts, the other pressing against her clitoris, making her plump,
tender breasts sway up and down, making my heart itch.
I whispered to her, "I'm going to cum," and Xiao Hong cried out even more excitedly, trembling as she said, "Master,
cum for me, I want to come too."
I felt her tender flesh tightly wrapping around my glans, like a small mouth sucking hard,
the wetness inside making my glans increasingly numb, and suddenly my glans went numb, and a thick stream of semen gushed out...
I lay on Xiao Hong's full body, gently sucking on her earlobe. Xiao Hong hugged my waist tightly and
murmured, "Master, you're so good! I wonder when you'll come to see Xiao Hong again?"
I held her head, letting it rest on my hand, and held her hand in mine, saying softly, "Whenever
I have time, I'll come to see you, okay?"
Xiao Hong nodded contentedly, kissed me on the cheek, and said with a touch of melancholy, "Master, you don't know, in
this place, I don't even have anyone to confide in. Sigh, I wish I could be by your side every day.
I know that's impossible, you're a man of great importance, how could you let Xiao Hong cling to you every day?" "You."
I asked her with a smile, "How did you know I'm a man destined for great things? Let me tell you, I don't do great things, I just
sleep with women. I'm just a street urchin, a gambler who spends his days chasing after women."
Xiao Hong chuckled and slapped my bare bottom. "No, that's not it. You just know how to make me happy.
You can tell I'm no ordinary person just by looking at my extraordinary bearing. If you say that, you're underestimating Xiao Hong's experience in the pleasure quarters
."
After talking for a while, I knew I had to leave. Xiao Hong helped me wash and get dressed, then
hugged my waist reluctantly, two clear tears welling up in her eyes.
I thought to myself, "Prostitutes have always been heartless, actors are ungrateful. You think you can fool me with these two fake tears
?" I gently pushed her away, kissed her forehead, and said, "There's plenty of time. If we're destined to meet again
, we will. I'm just afraid you won't remember me then."
Xiao Hong shook her head, anxiously saying, "No, no, Xiao Hong will wait here for you to come back!"
I returned to where we met, and everyone was waiting for me. They were all beaming and full of energy. Especially Lao
Ba, whose face was still flushed, kept talking about how big his woman's breasts were, how tight her vagina was, and
how much water she had. I glared at him, and he shut up, silently calling the pimp in to settle the bill and leave.
After leaving Cuihong Tower, feeling empty-handed, I found a restaurant to eat and drink my fill. Lao Liu and Lao Ba went to contact the
porridge vendors, and Lao Si went to hire a carriage and boat. I wandered around the city, looking for a way out. Yingkou City truly lived up to its reputation as an important
town, attracting all sorts of people from all walks of life. It was a bustling hub of activity, teeming with merchants. Dozens of brothels
, large and small, existed, along with pawnshops, jewelry stores, restaurants, inns, and leather and fabric shops, each thriving in its own way. I found Liu Shiquan and learned
that gambling had been banned here before, resulting in numerous deaths. Therefore, no one dared to gamble there anymore. Having made up my mind, I
happily returned to the inn where I was resting.
Everyone settled in, and Lao Ba wanted to hire a prostitute for the night. I stopped him, telling him to
prioritize his duties. Lao Ba, ashamed, admitted his mistake and went to sleep. The night passed peacefully, and we waited for dawn.
Recruiting Troops
When I woke up, it was almost dawn. Looking at my brothers sleeping soundly beside me, I felt incredibly happy.
I thought how wonderful it would be to be able to stay by their side, eating large chunks of meat and drinking large bowls of wine. The thought of today being
an important day for us immediately woke everyone up. Several of us, rubbing our sleepy eyes and yawning, got dressed and set off.
The fourth brother hired a sedan, supposedly at the behest of Liu Shiquan, for a gold bar. Good heavens, that's enough to
buy a car! The host, overjoyed, also gave us two cars and a wooden boat free of charge.
Are there really people like that in Yingkou? Liu Shiquan explained that the garrison commander, having heard from Yan Datou that he was from the Marshal's Mansion
, immediately brought out his belongings and even arranged for two military vehicles to be allocated from the barracks. All this
was to say a few good words to the Marshal in the future. Good heavens, this is huge! What if the Marshal's Mansion really sends people?
Wouldn't we be exposed immediately?
Fortunately, only Yan Datou and the garrison commander knew about this. The garrison commander was from Beijing, intervening in the power struggles of Northeast China
; frankly, he was a commander without troops. With someone from the Marshal's Mansion actively courting him, how could he refuse? Although
the possibility of unforeseen complications was small, I was still a little apprehensive.
When we arrived at the dock, our group was already there, and over twenty buckets of piping hot white porridge, all in brand-new
large bath tubs, were lined up in a row. Next to each tub were two buckets of dried pickled vegetables and two large buckets of steamed buns and mantou (steamed bread). Old
Fourth told me he had bought all the new bath tubs in Yingkou, and had booked all the steamed bun shops in Yingkou, ordering over ten thousand steamed buns
. He had booked all the porridge shops in Yingkou and ordered these twenty buckets of white porridge, all for a little over a hundred
silver dollars. A little over a hundred silver dollars was enough for six thousand poor people to have a full meal, yet Old Master Gao had promised me twenty
thousand silver dollars in exchange for my family's safety. "Damn corrupt officials!" I cursed inwardly.
The sun came out, and the tide began to recede. Yan Datou obsequiously brought me a chair and told me to sit and
wait patiently. When the sun was high in the sky, we could finally vaguely see a few dark spots approaching from the south. Yan Datou picked up his binoculars and
glanced around. A broad smile spread across his greasy, fat face. "They're here!" The soldiers began to prepare, loading their guns
in case anyone tried to cause trouble.
The ships drew closer; there were ten of them. Anyone who had never seen such a sight would never forget it. The decks
and cabin roofs were packed with people—men, women, young, and old—a diverse mix. Upon seeing the dock, chaos erupted
.
Yan Datou waved his flag, and the ships began to approach. The people on board went wild, desperately
pushing and shoving, crying and shouting, creating utter confusion. Some even jumped into the sea and swam ashore. The dense crowd
surged onto the shore like water. Forty soldiers loaded their guns and stood in a row before the porridge buckets.
Some people, who had been starving for days, rushed forward recklessly upon smelling the aroma of the porridge. The crowd immediately erupted into chaos,
surging towards the porridge bucket. Yan Datou waved his hand, and the soldiers raised their guns, firing a series of shots. The crowd immediately quieted
down.
The imposing Yan Datou stood on a chair and gave a speech, essentially telling the people not to riot and to maintain order. "Today ,
a great benefactor is distributing porridge here" (pointing to me), he said, "and everyone should line up to receive it. Do not riot, or you will be killed without
mercy.
" Another buzzing sound followed, and soon a long, crooked line of over twenty people had formed. Everyone craned their necks, anxiously
watching the porridge bucket, afraid that they would miss out when it was their turn. Suddenly, a burly man rushed out, crying and shouting
, pushing through the crowd and charging towards the porridge bucket like a madman. Before I could stop him, with a thud, the burly man fell into a pool of blood
.
The crowd immediately erupted in chaos; some cried out in fear, some sighed in dismay, and some complained about fate. Each
person received a bowl of porridge, a piece of pickled vegetable, a steamed bun, and a mantou (steamed bread). Those who received it were extremely grateful, while those who didn't were so anxious they were practically stamping their feet
. Taking advantage of the moment while everyone was queuing for porridge, I mustered 　　all my strength and loudly proclaimed
: "Fellow villagers, listen to me. I know
this year's harvest was poor, which is why you've come all this way to the Northeast to make a living. Today, I can only offer you a 　　bowl of porridge, firstly to comfort you after your long journey, and secondly to express my appreciation for your talents. If you have any special skills, such as strength 　　or martial arts training, gather under the big tree behind me after you finish your porridge; I'll make arrangements for you. Also, if any of you are carpenters or stonemasons, come with me! Finally, I wish you all 　　a bright future in Northeast China!" 　　 Before I finished speaking, someone asked, "Who are you?" Someone nearby immediately replied, "A great philanthropist, 　　as long as you get paid to work." Some people went to the big tree, but most continued on their way. 　　The sixth brother went to call out to those willing to follow, while the fourth brother and I stood by the roadside, scouting for any who had slipped through my net and refused to come. Some 　　thanked me, but most gave me a numb glance and continued on their way. After all, hardship was all 　　too common for them. Corrupt officials and local tyrants had numbed them. This bowl of porridge only delayed 　　their hunger; what awaited them was likely an even longer period of suffering. 　　 Most of the people in the crowd were not as I had hoped; they were all emaciated and looked miserable. I shook my head slightly. Just then, a 　　figure came into view. This person was six feet tall, with a robust build, thick eyebrows, a wide mouth, and an imposing presence. I stepped forward and called out to him, 　　"Excuse me, brother, where are you headed?" 　　 The burly man snorted, not even raising his eyes, and said rudely, "Thank you 　　for your concern, sir. I wander the world. You're just here to give out porridge to ease your conscience, 　　aren't you? You've been exploiting people too much lately; do you think giving out a little porridge will lessen your sins?" 　　 I laughed heartily. No wonder he was so disdainful of me; he must have mistaken me for a local tyrant. I stepped forward, clasped my 　　hands in a respectful greeting, and said softly, "Brother, you misunderstand. I am neither a local tyrant nor a government official." 　　 "Oh?" The burly man raised his thick eyebrows, looking at me with puzzlement. 　　 "May I speak with you in private?" I gestured for him to step out of the crowd and follow me to a 　　spot about ten paces away. 　　 "The people are suffering terribly, cries of despair are everywhere, the Japanese are eyeing us covetously, and corrupt officials are exploiting us at every turn. 　　Brother, can you really bear to watch this continue, letting your martial arts skills go to waste by carrying manure and watering vegetables every day 　　?" 　　 The burly man sighed. "So what?" 　　 "Rob the rich to help the poor, drive out the foreign barbarians!" I said casually. The burly man's eyes widened; he clearly understood. 　　"What? You want me, Liu Yong, to become a bandit?" 　　 I explained for a while, and Liu Yong finally understood. He bowed to me apologetically and 　　went to Lao Liu's group. 　　 I picked out a few more from the crowd—some were skilled in martial arts, some in literature, and even a family of three: the husband and wife were honest 　　and simple, and their son was clever and bright—I was quite satisfied. The only thing that bothered me was that few of the refugees were 　　attractive; they were all women or old women, or just plain ugly. 　　 The crowd gradually dispersed, and the sun was already setting. I gave each of Yan Datou's soldiers five silver dollars as tea 　　money, and they were all extremely grateful. Yan Datou instructed that today's events must not be revealed to outsiders, otherwise they would be punished according to military law. 　　Everyone immediately agreed, nodding vigorously. 　　 After counting the men and eliminating some, we gathered more than sixty strong men in total. Apart from 　　about ten carpenters and stonemasons, everyone else's skills and martial arts had all passed Lao Liu's test. 　　There were more than ten women accompanying their husbands and more than ten children. Everyone was very satisfied. We were the best of the best, so how could we not be? We set off back to the mountain. 　　 The porridge distribution, our brothers' appearance, clothing, speech and demeanor, Yan Datou's respectful attitude, 　　the cars they had never seen before, and the freight trucks that most of them had never ridden in before, all impressed most of them, and they were determined to 　　come with us. 　　 The two large carts were used to let the women and children board first, and then we squeezed in more than fifty people. The rest of the menacing-looking ones 　　took a boat back to the camp. We passed through several checkpoints along the way. Thanks to the Yingkou garrison commander's vehicle, his written 　　order, and the support of the foreign powers, the journey was quite smooth. By nightfall, we had reached the foot of the mountain. 　　 In the car, I asked Lao Liu, "Have you checked those who volunteered to join? Were there any spies? Have you hinted at 　　anything?" 　　 Lao Liu smugly replied, "Just you wait and see." 　　 The moon rose, illuminating the surroundings. I estimated we wouldn't arrive by boat until midnight. So 　　I told everyone to go up the mountain first. At this point, Lao San, Lao Wu, and Lao Qi came down to greet us. I instructed Lao San and Lao Ba to take another 　　brother who could drive to return the other cars that night to avoid trouble. The group climbed to the top of the mountain, hungry. 　　Some complained about the steep mountain and the steep road, while others regretted coming. Lao Liu mingled in the crowd and clearly remembered the faces of those who regretted their decision. 　　 Everyone stood on the flat ground at the front of the mountain, and I gave a simple welcoming speech. Suddenly, I remembered the 　　issue of eating and sleeping. Damn it, how could I have forgotten such an important matter? I thought to myself, "This is troublesome." 　　 Just as he was fretting, the second brother stood on the high platform and began to speak again, roughly saying that due to the lack of personnel on the mountain before...

"It's too little, the preparations weren't thorough enough. Tonight, each person
will have two jin of beef, two cornbreads, a bowl of wine, and two people sharing a quilt for now. Tomorrow, everyone will have a hot meal and a clean, tidy bed."
My heart immediately relaxed. I hadn't expected my brothers to be so thoughtful than me; I felt ashamed for a moment. The
second brother came over, winking and asking how things were going. "They went to the city and bought over two hundred jin of braised beef,
over one hundred jin of wine, plus cornbread, scallions, bowls, chopsticks, bedding, straw mats, and the like." I patted the second brother on the shoulder,
deeply moved. The second brother hugged me, saying, "How can I let you handle every little detail? You just need to steer the ship well
."
Everyone had porridge to eat as soon as they disembarked, beef and wine to drink as soon as they reached the mountain, and even a ride in a car. Everyone
was very happy, thinking that they had finally escaped poverty and were ready to live a good life.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to sleep in the large cave on the front mountain. I, along with my second brother and a few other brothers, went to comfort
everyone. Then, standing on a rock, I passionately said, "In this world, warlords are fighting
, and there's chaos everywhere. You were forced to come to Northeast China out of necessity. Meanwhile, the landlords, wealthy landowners, and powerful gentry
are enjoying themselves at home, while we have to leave our homes and wander around trying to make a living. How many of you haven't been oppressed
? How many haven't been exploited?" Everyone's emotions gradually rose. Some gritted their teeth, some
punched rocks in anger, and some shouted, "Down with the landlords and wealthy landowners!"
I gestured for everyone to quiet down and then said, "Northeast China isn't so easy to get by in either.
The Japanese are raping men and women everywhere, committing all sorts of atrocities. There are also many landlords and foreign powers. With just your bare hands,
can you fight them head-on?"
Someone immediately said, "Then what can we do? We can't just let them bully us like this!"
I said, "That's right. Everyone here has extraordinary skills. Some are incredibly strong, some are highly skilled in martial arts,
and some are master carpenters and masons. If we all go out and try our luck individually, at most we'll manage to build one or two
shops or a small fortune. And we'll be exploited every day." Everyone immediately nodded in agreement, saying they couldn't let
themselves be bullied anymore. I continued, "But if we all unite, how much fortune can we build?
You tell me!!" Everyone immediately started to estimate. I changed the subject, "Of course, those who are willing to work with me can stay, and
those who aren't will receive ten silver dollars as a settlement fee right now." The second and fifth brothers carried over a box of silver dollars. The
fifth brother grabbed one, and the gleaming silver dollars clinked together with a crisp sound. Da Qiu's eyes immediately went straight to the silver dollars,
while only Liu Yong and two other people stared intently at my face. Liu Yong was already committed to me, but the other two seemed to have no
idea what to do. I continued, "So, everyone, are you going to leave or stay?" Someone asked, "If
I work for you, how much can I earn in a month?" I stared at the skinny young man and asked him, "
How much do you plan to earn in Guandong in a month?" The young man scratched his head and said honestly, "I need to send ten yuan back to my mother."
I became interested in this young man and asked him, "Does your mother need ten yuan a month for food and other expenses?" The young man
said resentfully, "She has to pay five yuan to the local security officer." I addressed the crowd, saying, "Look at this dutiful young
man of ours, who was prepared to earn ten dollars, yet he has to pay five to the local security officer? Why should the officer take half of his wages?
Are they born with a privileged life? Are we destined to be oppressed by them?"
The crowd was indignant. Then I asked, "Anyone want to leave? If so, I'll give you ten dollars right now, and
you can leave tomorrow morning." No one spoke. Liu Yong stood up and said, "I'm sticking with you. I
'll do whatever you want!"
More and more people stood up to express their support. I was so pleased with myself. This was perfect. I had taken the first
step smoothly. I will never forget the night of March 20th, spring of the nineteenth year of the Republic of China. On that day, sixty or seventy
suffering people awoke, their cries echoing for a long time in this sturdy stone cave.
I found the two men who were only looking at me and not at the silver dollars, and asked them why. It turned out they were wondering
what I meant—was I trying to get them to join the army or become bandits? I laughed and said, "If you two
brothers were to become bandits, would you be willing?" One immediately said yes, since he was going to die anyway, he might as well
die a carefree death. The other looked at him and also immediately said yes, but he was worried about his elderly mother back home, fearing no one would take care of her after he died
. I said that was easy; once you've rendered meritorious service, you can bring your mother up the mountain.
Sixth Brother called the two men who were complaining down the mountain out and explained the situation. One immediately expressed his desire to join
, while the other said absolutely not, and wanted to go down the mountain that very night to find his own way to survive. Sixth Brother had no choice but to agree, but
I estimated that the other man would be sleeping at the bottom of the Liao River forever. When Sixth Brother returned, Fourth Brother's boat also returned
. Fourth Brother sailed back to Yingkou that very night, stopping by a brothel for a night. The next day, I
returned with the third brother and the others .
I arranged the purchasing team for the following morning, and everyone went to sleep. Dozens of people huddled together in the Juyi Cave,
yet it was surprisingly harmonious and warm.
Before dawn, the second brother woke up the fifth and sixth brothers, and together with another enthusiastic member, they went to the city before daybreak
. At daybreak, I instructed Liu Yong to take more than ten people to meet them at the foot of the mountain, and secretly gave him a box of snipers
, instructing him to use it ruthlessly if necessary to maintain order on the mountain.
When the sun rose, the purchasing team and the third brother's group had returned, each carrying a large basket of goods,
including tools like saws, chisels, and inkstones, as well as daily necessities like rice, oil, and salt.
The meticulous second brother had made a list of everything needed on the mountain and bought it all.
After everyone had a simple meal, I gathered everyone together and gave a brief motivational speech.
Then the second brother assigned tasks to everyone.
The second brother meticulously arranged every detail— logging, quarrying, road construction, house building, even arranging for the women to cook —with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities. I was worried
the noise from logging and quarrying on the mountain would be too loud and attract attention, but the fourth brother said nothing and pulled me down the mountain. By the time we reached the bottom,
the sounds of logging and quarrying were barely audible; once we reached the main road, we couldn't hear them at all, only the rushing
sound of the Liao River.
Back on the mountain, the second brother proudly asked, "Did you hear that?" I said no, and the others laughed.
It was said that the second-in-command had just fired a shot. Liu Shiquan then sent a message by carrier pigeon that ten more large ships would arrive in
Yingkou in half a month. That afternoon, I immediately took a boat downstream to Yingkou. Upon meeting him, I handed him two gold bars, which he
refused to accept under any circumstances. I solemnly explained that these were for future operational expenses, to be used in case of any emergencies
. Only then did he accept them and pledge his loyalty. When I arrived at Yan Datong's place, this time he no longer ordered his family to leave the table
. There was also a beautiful woman at the table, who turned out to be his new concubine. Yan Datong flattered her
while boasting to his new concubine about how remarkable he was. I agreed, thinking to myself that the bastard was quite lucky
with his wife, using the money I gave him to take a concubine.
After the meal, Yan Datong patted his chest and said he would take care of it. This time, he planned to ask the commander for permission to increase manpower. I
glared at him and asked if he was planning to share half the credit with someone else. He immediately shut up, saying he thanked the superior for his guidance
and reminder, and that he had enough people on his own and didn't need to borrow any more. I laughed heartily, praising him for becoming increasingly clever, and
he quickly smiled and agreed.
After leaving Yan Datou's house, I went to meet this garrison commander I had never met before. Since he was sent from the capital
, he was bound to be someone important. After the guards announced his arrival, the commander soon came out in full military uniform with his family to greet me
. He was indeed someone important—tall and imposing, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, an extraordinary air, and an aura of righteousness.
He was from a completely different world from Yan Datou. The two shook hands warmly, but suddenly his calloused hand tightened its grip, and my hand burned
with pain. He was still laughing and making polite remarks. If it were anyone else,
they might have had their hand bones broken on the spot. I tightened my grip on his hand, and he smiled painfully and reluctantly. I immediately released
his hand, greeted the lady and young master, and after returning the greeting, we sat down and discussed the current situation
. We shared similar views, feeling as if we were kindred spirits who had met too late. A soldier brought tea; the tea was light in color and tasted ordinary, a testament to his usual
frugality. In his simple home, with its basic furniture and decorations, and the ordinary clothes worn by the lady and young master, I saw
the hardship of a high-ranking official exiled from the capital, living a life of poverty and integrity.
At this moment, the commander took out a gold bar, placed it on the table, and said solemnly, "Take this back. The last time I allocated
vehicles and ships to you was entirely within my duty as a garrison commander. From now on, if you need anything, I'll provide manpower or vehicles."
I was secretly astonished, and inwardly admired this true man and the demeanor of a great general. I handed the gold bar back to him, patted
his hand, and laughed heartily, saying, "Brother, you're too kind. This is just a small personal token from us brothers.
If you refuse again, are you trying to sever ties with me?"
The commander gave me a wink, and his wife, son, and guards immediately left. He sighed softly, "Judging from your bearing and
martial arts skills, you are no ordinary person. I'll be frank with you, being the garrison commander isn't easy."
I thought to myself, Old Master Gao had served three emperors and had a good reputation, with many disciples. Although he was treacherous and ruthless,
he concealed it very well, so few people knew. Even in his seventies, he was still hired as an advisor in the capital at a high price. Last time, when something happened in his family, Old Master Gao spent a fortune investigating for months, but still couldn't find a
single clue. He died vomiting blood, shocking the capital. The local
police and garrison were ineffective, presenting a perfect opportunity for the capital to consolidate its power in the four northeastern provinces. Sending a weak
, ineffective force would only lead to its defection within three months. Therefore, a garrison commander, impervious to both local pressures and powerful figures, was sent
. However, the four northeastern provinces had cultivated
deep-rooted and complex relationships, leaving the commander at a loss. Just then, I asked my fourth brother to borrow a car,
and the foolish Liu Shiquan dared to try and take advantage of the situation, bypassing his superiors and asking the commander for help. This was a stroke of luck,
a stroke of pure luck. It was also thanks to Liu Shiquan's shrewdness and good relationship with the commander's orderly that I was able to establish
this connection as well.
So I took the commander's hand (a light grip, not a forceful one) and said, "Brother, I
understand your situation perfectly. So don't say anything more. This matter needs to be considered carefully. Perhaps I can help in
a little way."
The commander gratefully took my hand and said, "Thank you very much, brother."
I said, "It's nothing. Although we've only met by chance, we're like brothers, sharing a deep bond. This little favor is
nothing to me. Besides, I need your help with a small matter too."
"Oh? Brother, just name your name. Anything within my capabilities, I'll definitely do."
"I want to open a casino and a brothel in Yingkou."
The commander's eyes widened, his pupils darted around, and he immediately said, "Leave it to me, brother."
I said, "Someone tried to open one before, and it caused quite a few deaths, so it was banned."
The commander said dismissively, "I've heard about that before. Everyone's been interfering, causing quite a
bit of trouble. But I'll use this to test everyone's reactions. Give me the materials another day, and I'll
handle it myself."
I took out another gold bar, but he said he'd already accepted one and wouldn't accept another. I
had no choice but to put it away, say goodbye, and change into a human skin mask before heading straight to the Cuihong Brothel.
The madam greeted me warmly, and I asked if Xiao Hong was still there. Her face immediately darkened, and she said unhappily, "Sir
, we have plenty of girls here, why did you choose that slut Xiao Hong?"
It turned out that Xiao Hong had been feigning illness and refusing to see customers for the past few days, only singing ditties, and the madam couldn't do anything about it. Given Xiao Hong's
renowned reputation in Yingkou, which had earned the madam a considerable amount of money, she naturally didn't dare to easily take advantage of her. I handed her five
silver dollars, and she immediately beamed, saying, "Sir, come with me, I'll arrange for her to sing you a 'Eighteen Touches' song."
Following the madam upstairs, Xiao Hong came out, looking unhappy. Seeing it was me, she immediately smiled.
I waved my hand at her from behind the madam, signaling her not to make a fuss. Xiao Hong immediately changed her tune, bursting into laughter, and said,
"Who do we have here? Just another lecher. Mother, if you see someone like that again, don't bring him up here; he's an
eyesore and annoys me."
The madam's face turned ashen: "Pah! You only sing little songs all day, and that's not even enough to cover my room fee. If
you don't take any customers next month, I'll make you regret it!" She spat again and hurried downstairs. I closed the door, and Xiao Hong
immediately rushed over, hugging me tightly, murmuring, "Brother, I thought I'd never see you again." Then she...
She started crying. I hugged her, patted her back with my right hand, and gently stroked her permed, wavy hair with my left. I
said softly, "Sweetie, don't cry, I'm here now." Damn it, so this woman wasn't taking
customers because of me. At first, I thought she was just saying it casually, but now I realized I was in trouble.
She cried for a while, probably until she had cried enough, and then sobbed, "Brother, how could you be so heartless, taking so long to
come see me?"
I cupped her tear-streaked face, kissed her forehead, and said, "I not only came to see you today, but
I also brought you something nice. Close your eyes first." Then I took a brocade box out of my pocket and opened it.
She opened her eyes, looked at the dazzling South Sea pearl necklace in the box, and tears streamed down her face again. She buried her face in my arms and
said, "Brother, you're so good to me, sob sob sob..."
I said, "Okay, let me put it on you." Xiao Hong happily put her hair up and sat in front of the dressing table. I stood
behind her and put it on for her. Her beautiful face, her fair and delicate neck adorned with a pink beaded necklace, was indescribably captivating
. Xiao Hong cheered, turned around, and embraced me, offering her lips to mine.
Her lips were the taste of a thousand men, but faced with her passion, how could I possibly hurt her again? I met hers,
pressing our lips tightly together, kissing passionately. Xiao Hong stood up, hugging my waist tightly. Even through the cheongsam
, I could feel the elasticity and warmth of her large breasts. My heart pounded. I held her tightly, one
hand roaming over her firm, round buttocks. Xiao Hong began to moan, biting my lips even more intensely
, while simultaneously unbuttoning my clothes. In no time, we were both naked.
Xiao Hong's full breasts pressed tightly against my chest. I held her buttocks with one hand and her waist with the other,
slowly laying her down on the bed. She was panting heavily, her breasts trembling slightly. I parted her legs; her plump, tender
vulva was already incredibly wet. Her two pink labia were open, and clear
fluid slowly seeped from the opening, pulsating and beckoning my penis in.
I held my hard penis, the glans slowly grinding against the tender flesh of her vulva. Xiao Hong immediately moaned loudly
, "Mmm...oh...brother, stop grinding...go in...I want you..."
My glans was covered in her nectar, and I lifted my hips, thrusting in all the way. Xiao Hong let out a satisfied sigh and
looked up to kiss me. I grasped her large breasts with both hands, gently twisting her nipples. I pressed my lips to her cherry lips,
gently kissing and sucking on her earlobe and neck, gently biting.
Xiao Hong's moans grew louder, her vulva sucking my penis forcefully like a small mouth. I kissed
her again; her lips were cold, her eyes were lifeless, and I quickened my thrusts. I increased the pressure on her breasts, and she
cried out in shock, "Brother...good brother...ah...I'm coming..."
Her vagina contracted and sucked incessantly like a baby nursing, and a wave of heat quickly enveloped my glans. I
let her rest her head on my hand, grabbed her large breast with one hand, and inserted my penis inside, fully enjoying the wetness, the heat
, and the tightness.
After a long while, the temperature inside her vagina began to slowly subside, and I knew it was about time, but I withdrew
my strength, letting my penis go soft. She opened her eyes and said shyly, "Brother, you haven't come yet, have you? Let your sister
serve you until you come." She then tried to get up. I said no, just come. I want to save my energy
for you to enjoy tonight.
Xiao Hong blushed and slapped my buttocks with a "smack," saying reproachfully, "You're bad."
I laughed heartily, turned her over, and let her lie on top of me. She got up, wiped her lower body with a cotton towel,
and then naturally lay down on top of me. I let her large, full breasts rub against me. Xiao Hong looked down and picked up
the beaded necklace around her neck, asking if it looked good. "What kind of beads are these?"
she asked. I told her they were famous Tahitian pearls, also called South Sea pearls, from the South Seas. They were the most
expensive type of pearl, and pearls this size were naturally even more expensive.
She playfully scolded me, saying I shouldn't buy such expensive things anymore, or she wouldn't want them anymore. This woman, once
she's focused on you, she'll always think of you. It's so good to have a woman, I thought to myself.
Then she lay on top of me and told me about her past. I kneaded her plump, soft buttocks as I listened to her
story. It turned out she was from Shandong. Her family used to be in the leather business, but they were robbed by bandits, her father was
killed, and their shop was seized by creditors and landlords. Her mother, unable to find justice, was forced to take her to Northeast China. Little did she know that while traveling through
Shanhaiguan, her mother died suddenly from an illness. Left with no relatives, she was targeted by a brothel madam who was looking for men.
Lured by two silver dollars and a full meal, she was lured to Yingkou and forced into prostitution.
Speaking of this, she showed no sadness, saying it was all fate, even my appearance was her destiny
—destined to be consumed by longing for a man like me. I stopped kneading her and asked if she remembered
how her family used to run the shop. She said how could she forget? Those were her happiest times.
I had an idea: I would have Xiao Hong manage the gambling den and brothel. So I told her I wanted to redeem her and
have her manage my soon-to-open gambling den and brothel. Xiao Hong was shocked and remained speechless for a long time. I laughed loudly,
removing the human skin mask from my face. Xiao Hong immediately grabbed my neck, cursing, "You rascal!
You were lying to me all along!"
I stood up and hugged her, explaining that traveling the martial world was inconvenient, and I dared not easily show my true face. Xiao Hong was overjoyed
, hugging me tightly, saying she never expected her life to be so good, having such a handsome and powerful brother.
She didn't need any title, as long as I treated her well.
We put on our clothes and put our masks back on. Xiao Hong, arm in arm with me, appeared before everyone. Everyone
gaped, finding it unbelievable; the person she had been longing for day and night was actually me.
The madam rushed over like the wind, raising her hand to strike, but I grabbed her hand. She cried out in pain
and immediately begged for mercy. I released her, clasped my hands in a respectful greeting to everyone, and said that I was here today to redeem Xiao Hong from
her servitude, asking everyone to be my witnesses. The madam's face was extremely ugly. She whispered in my ear, "I 　　'm very familiar
with the garrison, the city government, and the Black Dragon Society ."
If you dare to redeem her, I'll take your life right now!
I pulled her aside and asked disdainfully, "You mean Old Gao from the garrison? Or the Three Scars of the Black Dragon Society?
I don't know anyone from the city government. But Old Gao is my brother, and as for the Three Scars, you can just call him out and you'll know
."
The madam sneered, whispered something in one of the pimps' ears, and then told me to wait, that I'd be in for a beating. I
sat down beside her, and Xiao Hong sat gracefully next to me, still stroking my arm, completely at ease.
Before we'd even finished half a pipe of cigarettes, we heard a rude shout coming from the crowd. The madam laughed, patted my
shoulder, and I slapped her away. The madam snorted and said, "Your bad days are here." Xiao Hong tensed up
, gripping my arm tightly. I patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
The Three Scars, with two brothers, stood before me, glaring at me, and asked gruffly, "Madam, is that
him?"
The madam laughed heartily and quickly said yes. I thought to myself, "You damned Three Scars, do you think I'm wearing a
human skin mask and you don't even recognize your ancestors?"
Three Scars grabbed my collar, and Little Red immediately trembled and released my arm, trying to shield me.
I pressed her down onto the bench. Three Scars raised his huge fist, saying menacingly, "Kid, you've
messed with the wrong person today!" He was about to hit me when I whispered in his ear, "Third Brother, my son, have you
forgotten the scar on your butt?"
Three Scars shuddered, immediately releasing his grip on my collar, and whispered, "Who are you?"
Not wanting to embarrass him in front of everyone and his underlings, I said loudly and politely, "Boss,
may I speak to you in private?"
The madam looked at us with some surprise. We walked to a corner, and the others followed,
stopping about two zhang away. They knew that when Three Scars beat people, tables and chairs flew everywhere, leaving people bloodied and mangled. So
they kept their distance.
I grabbed one of the three scarred men's hands and gently pressed it. The man's face contorted in pain. I whispered,
"Third brother, my son, I spared your life three years ago so you would learn your lesson. Why are you acting like this again
? I didn't want to embarrass you in front of your men, so please give me some face too. Don't do anything so wicked in the future
."
The three scarred men gratefully clasped their hands in a fist and whispered, "I remember, thank you." Then they left. The madam came
up and asked how things were. The three scarred men raised their fists to punch the madam, but when they turned around and saw me shaking my head,
they immediately changed their fist to a palm and slapped the madam across the face, shouting, "Damn you! You've really messed up today!"
Then they hurriedly left with their men. The madam wiped the blood from her lips, and seeing the situation was bad, immediately begged for mercy, "Oh
dear, sir, forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't see the true god. Please forgive me this time." After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to
fetch Xiao Hong's indenture.
Xiao Hong sat there, nervously clenching her fists, not uttering a word. I sat next to her, patted her back, and she immediately
leaned against me as if exhausted, saying, "You scared me to death!"
A little while later, the madam dispersed the onlookers, brought the indenture, and also brought a man. The madam sneered
, "Sir, I've brought the indenture. You said you're Commander Gao's friend, so today I've
brought Commander Gao's adjutant. Let's see if you're truly a god."
Damn it, looks like you won't give up until you're completely cornered. Fine, I'll play along. The adjutant
scrutinized him for a while, then said, "I think I've seen this man at the Commander's house, but I don't remember the details."
The madam said, "Good, thank you, sir. Go have your fun." The adjutant left satisfied.
The madam continued, "Looks like I've really met a god today, sir. Please wait a moment, I'll be
right back." With that, she hurried away.
Xiao Hong nervously grabbed my arm, saying, "Why don't we just let it go? As long as you come to see me often, I'll be content
."
I tried to persuade her, saying, "How can we just let it go like this? She has to release him today, whether she wants to or not. I'm furious right now
, and I'm prepared to change the ownership of this brothel and let you manage it.
" Xiao Hong widened her eyes and said, "Absolutely not! I'm too incompetent to take on such a great responsibility.
I'm already content just because you've shown the intention to redeem me." I knew her contentment was genuine, and her reluctance to take on the responsibility was a pretense. She was
giving me a way out. She knew that if things really turned sour with the madam, she knew the madam had been operating in Yingkou for many years and
had connections with people from all walks of life. She was afraid I'd suffer if things escalated. So she used this excuse to make me back down gracefully
.
I kept reassuring her, but she remained doubtful, saying she didn't need to redeem herself and that she was doing quite well here, eating and drinking well
.
After a couple of pipes' worth of time, the madam rushed back. I was somewhat impressed by her shrewdness and ruthlessness. Although she
wanted to stab me to death, she left angrily, considering my three scars. The adjutant said he seemed to recognize me. Still unwilling to hand
over such a precious girl like Xiao Hong to me, she brought up Commander Gao. Commander Gao's orderly arrived; this man
was clearly a lecherous fellow. The moment he entered, his eyes kept darting over Xiao Hong, as if he wanted to
devour her alive.
The madam coughed, and the orderly immediately turned to look at me. Upon seeing me, he was startled and said,
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
The madam asked, "Little Six, is this Commander Gao's friend?"
The orderly, nicknamed Little Six, glared at the madam and said, "Are your eyes on the soles of your feet or your ass
? This is a distinguished guest from the Commander's residence. The Commander, his wife, and young master personally came out to greet him this afternoon."
The madam gasped and collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, the pimp immediately helped her sit up, poured her a cup of tea, and
the madam sobered up. She burst into tears, recounting how good she had been to Xiao Hong and how
difficult it was to take care of her. Damn it, you tried to use force first, and when that didn't work, you resorted to crying. You just wanted to raise your price.
You really underestimate me.
I snapped at her, "Stop crying! Just name your price!"
The madam immediately stopped crying, wiped her tiny, beady eyes that hadn't shed a tear at all, thought for a moment, and said, "Two
thousand silver dollars!" Little Red jumped up with a whoosh, angrily shouting, "Mommy, you've gone too far!"
The madam immediately started bringing up those unfounded old grievances again, and Xiao Hong trembled with anger. I held her hand;
her palms were cold but sweaty, and I knew she was feeling terrible. So I said, "Alright, two thousand it is.
You can have her here for now. Here's ten silver dollars. Until I come to pick her up, you must treat her well and
not neglect her."
Xiao Hong's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Brother, why did you agree to that? We don't have that much money." Silly
girl, she was so angry she was confused. She thought I was going to ask her for a portion of the money.
The madam looked at the silver dollars, slapped herself, and probably cursed herself inwardly for not asking for three thousand or
four thousand.
I patted Xiao Hong's hand and said, "Just stay here peacefully. I'll go out for a bit
and come back tonight. You can eat dinner by yourself; don't wait for me."
The madam immediately helped the nearly exhausted Xiao Hong up and headed upstairs to the embroidery room. I walked down the street and
let out a long sigh. As darkness fell, people hurried by in twos and threes on the street. In the dim light, a man
rushed up to me and whispered, "Sir, our boss invites you."
I asked, "Is it Three Scars?"
The man replied, "It is indeed him." Holy crap, the old man? Damn it, Three Scars thinks
he's something special.
Following the man through a maze of turns, I arrived at a small courtyard. Pushing open the gate, I found it brightly lit.
Two rows of burly men stood neatly in the courtyard, dressed in neat gray short-sleeved shirts, looking very spirited. Upon seeing me, they shouted in unison
, "Please, Boss!" Then they raised their knives above their heads. "Heh, interesting. Your boss has actually resorted to this
kind of thing, haha." I strode confidently past the gleaming array of knives. Three Scars, along with several trusted followers, was waiting
for me at the entrance of the main hall.
Upon seeing me, he clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "I, the gang leader, meant no offense today; it's a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple. That's why I invited you
here to apologize."
I waved my hand: "You flatter me, Boss. Thank you for your righteous assistance today."
Then, host and guest took their seats, setting aside formalities and indulging in food and drink.
After the meal, I took out two gold bars and asked him to exchange them for two thousand silver dollars. The three thugs took the gold bars,
examined them carefully, and asked, "This is…" Before he could finish, I said yes. He must have been asking, "This
came from Old Master Gao's family, right?
" He then said, "This also…" Before he could finish, I said, "No need, the rest can be used for the brothers' drinks
." He must have been saying: This is too much; the rest is returned to you.
The three thugs took the gold bars and left, unlike the others who would say goodbye. This man was straightforward, which I
liked. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two men carried in a box. The three scarred men said, "Brother, this is two
thousand three hundred silver dollars. Please count them."
"Damn it, give me three hundred as a reward for the brothers!" I yelled.
The three scarred men were a little embarrassed, but had no choice but to comply, saying in a low voice, "Then I thank you on behalf of the brothers."
We hired two men to carry the box of silver dollars to the Cuihong Brothel. The madam, seeing the box of silver dollars, was overjoyed.
She immediately handed me the contract, which I showed to Xiaohong before burning it in front of everyone. Xiaohong excitedly
gave me a kiss in front of everyone, and the crowd cheered and laughed. It would probably spread like wildfire, and within three days, the news would be
all over Yingkou City.
Xiaohong took my hand, and we went into the room together, leaving behind the laughter and envy of the crowd.
Xiao Hong was in high spirits after regaining her freedom. She spent the night indulging in my every move, especially
enjoying being penetrated from behind. She said she loved the slapping sound of my thrusting against her buttocks, which made her feel like she was my
woman. We were both completely exhausted, enjoying our lovemaking to the fullest.
The next day, I slept until noon, washed up briefly, and prepared for another round in bed. Xiao Hong, panting,
said, "Good man, come on, just fuck me to death."
I raised my hard penis and rubbed it against Xiao Hong's labia, ready to penetrate. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Damn it, who's so punctual? Xiao Hong let out a soft moan, looking disappointed. I put on my clothes and went to open the door. It
was Xiao Liu Zi. He greedily inhaled the fragrance wafting from the room, saying, "Sir, the Commander requests your presence!"
I told him to wait outside. I went back inside, and Xiao Hong crawled out of bed, hugging me tightly
. "Come on, it itches again." I pinched her large breasts, kissed them, and said, "Baby, I'm going to
Commander Gao's house. Do you want to come with me?
" Xiao Hong said reproachfully, "I want to go too, but I'm afraid I'll lose control. Look at me, I can barely walk now. It's all
your fault, you made me feel so weak."
I said, "Just go to sleep, I'll come back this afternoon." Xiao Hong returned the kiss and obediently went to sleep. After
leaving, I instructed the pimp to prepare a good meal and wine for Xiao Hong. The pimp, having received his money, happily
went to make the arrangements.
When I arrived at Commander Gao's house, I found out that he had met with several important officials that morning to discuss reopening the casino.
Seeing that the commander himself had come, they couldn't refuse and had to agree. However, they reminded him that the Black Dragon Society was the largest gang in the area
, with immense power, and hinted that he should put in a good word. Commander Gao was furious and cursed, "Me, the dignified garrison commander, having to
ask a bunch of thugs?" He finished cursing, his eyes bulging with anger.
I laughed heartily after hearing his words, thanking him for his hard work. As for the Black Dragon Society, I'll keep an eye on them. Commander Gao then
said, "Give me the materials tomorrow, and the procedures will be completed within five days. You can come to my residence to pick them up then." The Commander
smiled wryly and said, "Brother, you're truly resourceful, managing both the underworld and the legitimate world. I've learned a lot."
I got up to take my leave, thinking of how I had enjoyed myself with a beautiful woman today, while he had been running around doing things for me without complaining .
So, before leaving, I gave Commander Gao a small dagger inlaid with seven-colored ancient jade, saying,
"In this chaotic world, take this for self-defense." Commander Gao laughed heartily, saying, "Even a knife can't be faster than a bullet. Thank you for the gift, my dear brother." I
chuckled and said, "Even a bullet can't be faster than a person's eyes. In the four northeastern provinces, perhaps this little knife can sometimes
outrun a bullet." Commander Gao immediately understood, laughed heartily, and accepted it.
When I arrived at the place with the three scars, a group of people were about to have a big lunch. When they saw me, they hurriedly added more wine and dishes.
I told the three scarred men that I wanted to replace the Cuihonglou brothel and build a casino on top of the existing one. The three scarred men
looked at me in surprise, probably wondering why I'd changed so much—this wandering vagabond, now thinking about opening a gambling den. They
said, "Brother, don't bother. You become the leader of the Black Dragon Society. Anyone who dares to disobey, I'll chop them down." I
said seriously, "This is a long-term plan, for the future. You just need to find a good match and take care of that wretched
brothel madam. From now on, all your men can gamble and whore for free. But you can't do it under the Black Dragon Society's name."
The group immediately cheered and thanked me, but they didn't understand why they couldn't do it under the Black Dragon Society's name. I told the three
scarred men, "You put up some money and open a restaurant or fur shop next to me, anything will do. Then your men
come here pretending to want the shop's employees, understand? Don't let this get out, or you won't get any more
freebies, and you'll be in mortal danger."
The three scarred men immediately nodded seriously, while the other gang members, who hadn't seen my methods before, were still laughing and joking.
I slammed my hand on the table, startling everyone, who all stared at me. I pulled an old-fashioned
pistol from the waistband of one of the gang members next to me and, to their astonishment, twisted the gun into a pretzel shape. Then I shouted, "Do you remember what I just said
?"
Everyone froze, then shouted that they remembered. I smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous, we're
brothers, I'm just thinking about everyone's long-term safety." Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
The three scarred men told me that they could get rid of the madam of the Cuihong Brothel anytime. They just needed to find a pretext
to do so, which required some careful consideration. I praised the Boss for becoming increasingly clever, and the Three Scars immediately grinned from
ear to ear.
Getting rid of the madam was left to the Three Scars; how to do it was his business. I returned to the Green Red Pavilion, opened
the door, and Little Red was still fast asleep, her long eyelashes drooping, quite beautiful.
A faint smile graced her beautiful face, her delicate lips slightly parted, as if asking for a kiss. I gently lifted the thin blanket; the slut
was indeed naked, sleeping peacefully sprawled out. Looking at her high, snow-white breasts, her flat stomach, and
the feeling of lying on them, I immediately became aroused.
I gently removed the blanket, crouched quietly beside her, and lightly touched her nipple, seeing no reaction
. I washed my hands, dried them, and slowly covered her with my entire right palm, gently kneading them. Little Red
stirred slightly, then remained still. I gently parted her thick pubic hair with my left hand, my fingers lightly tracing her
labia, then probing her vulva, and finally reaching the small, protruding clitoris. Xiao Hong let out a soft moan, but she
was still asleep. I felt incredibly aroused. I gently and specifically stroked her clitoris. After a while, I could clearly feel
the temperature of her lower abdomen rising. I slid my finger into the entrance of her vagina, where fluids were already secreting.
I slowly inserted one finger, and her vagina tightened, gripping my finger, causing another gush of fluid to flow out.
Xiao Hong groaned, thinking she had woken up, but instead, I heard soft snoring.
I was overjoyed and inserted my finger a little further, then slowly moved it in and out. Xiao Hong closed her eyes and gently twisted her hips
to meet my touch. Her pink and tender vagina was incredibly wet, with glistening fluids flowing onto the sheets. I felt my penis
was about to burst into flames; if I didn't insert it soon, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it.
So I gently lifted her plump legs and spread them apart, her snoring continuing. I squatted between her legs, holding
my glans, and slowly rubbed it against the tender flesh at the entrance of her vagina. The snoring stopped, and I thought she had woken up, so I immediately stopped
.
After a while, the snoring started again, and my glans was covered in her juices. So I slowly pushed in,
finally inserting it all the way in. I gently and slowly moved in and out, enjoying
the feeling of her moist, warm vagina tightly enveloping my penis. Xiao Hong began to slowly twist her buttocks, and moans replaced the snoring. I quickened my thrusts, but each time
I didn't penetrate all the way in, afraid of waking her. Xiao Hong still didn't wake up; she just twitched her little hand in the air and
then stopped moving.
I held her snow-white, plump legs, thrusting while watching my throbbing penis go in and out of her vagina
, bringing out the tender flesh and juices inside. This scene was tense, exciting, and erotic, and I unconsciously increased
the force of my thrusts. Xiao Hong's full breasts began to sway up and down, her moans grew louder, and her head kept
twisting back and forth, like a seriously ill person crying out in pain. She suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Brother,
hold me, I'm coming!"
Ah, so she was already awake. I was acting like a fool, being all tender and protective. I immediately wrapped my left arm around
her slender waist and held her head with my right, stopping her large breasts from swaying and pressing them against my chest. I quickened
my thrusts, going all the way in each time. Every time I reached her clitoris, Xiao Hong would shudder and let out a cry. My
penis felt increasingly uncomfortable inside, hotter and slipperier, like a small mouth tightly gripping the glans
, sucking hard. I knew she was coming. So I moved my left hand down, placing it
under her round, smooth buttocks, and held her shoulder tightly with my right hand, increasing my thrusts. Xiao Hong's hair was disheveled, and she moaned loudly. Suddenly,
I felt a surge of heat on my glans, her vagina sucking hard on it. My penis tightened, and I thrust even faster, ejaculating
deep inside her. Waves of tingling pleasure spread throughout my body. After we both reached our climax, I kissed Xiaohong's fragrant lips,
gently caressing her until her vagina was no longer hot.
Xiaohong gave me a shy glare, and I asked why. Xiaohong said, "You know perfectly well why I asked. I didn't expect you to be so
naughty, taking advantage of me while I was asleep. I thought I was dreaming."
I nibbled on her earlobe and softly asked her when she woke up. She let out a soft cry and said that one of the thrusts was too
deep, so she woke up. But she didn't open her eyes immediately, instead enjoying the stimulating way we were together.
I chuckled, pinched her large breasts, and said, "You're even naughtier. You were clearly awake, but you pretended to be asleep, making me afraid
to thrust too hard."
Xiaohong blushed and whispered, "Who told you to make me feel so good?"
After cleaning up the mess, I held her and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was almost dark. I pondered
how to arrange Xiaohong's accommodation, and after making up my mind, I told Xiaohong my plan. Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong quickly objected,
saying that the madam was actually quite nice, only sometimes a bit too harsh.
I cursed her in my heart for being too soft-hearted and ignoring my advice. I only offered kind words of advice and told her to follow the plan.
Although she objected, she still obediently listened to me.
