Chapter 1240: No Confusion

People were coming and going in the central square of the city. Zhang Xiaobai and Niu Yi were sitting on the steps, one smoking a cigarette and the other smoking a pipe and a pot, like two old rural men.

It really attracted a lot of contemptuous looks.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Brother 1, do you think they think we are beggars?"

I didn't bring much clothes with me when I went to Wenshan. I had already changed them over and over, and my clothes were stained with travel dust.

Niu Yi nodded seriously and said: "Yes, and they will think that we are just beggars without technical content."

Zhang Xiaobai took a puff of cigarette, glanced around, and said, "Yuan Yang wouldn't take action in a place like this."

Of course you have to be careful when coming to other people's territory, so Zhang Xiaobai chose a place with such a dense crowd.

Niu Yi said calmly: "No, Yuan Yang is not stupid!"

Only a madman would choose to do something in broad daylight. In Zhang Xiaobai's consciousness, Yuan Yang was not a madman.

But who knows if he will be so angry that he goes crazy after the Huaibei incident?

So even though he chose to meet here, Zhang Xiaobai was still a little worried.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we take action. With so many people, we will always escape."

If Yuan Yang really takes action, there is only one way - to escape.

Niu Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Bai, I feel like there are some changes in you."

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Brother Yi, tell me how I have changed? Have I changed for the better or for the worse?"

Niu Yi did not answer the question and asked: "How old are you this year?"

Zhang Xiaobai stretched out three fingers and said, "Thirty, thirty years old."

It has been ten years since I left Wolong Village to go to school in Luo City.

How many more decades are there in life?

Sometimes Zhang Xiaobai has to lament that time flies by so quickly, but fortunately, not a single day was wasted in the past ten years.

People always know the preciousness of time when they lose it, but they don't know how to cherish every moment of the present.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaobai actually has no regrets.

Niu Yi said: "At thirty years old, you are no longer confused."

As the ancients said, you stand tall at thirty and have no doubts at forty. In Niu Yi's heart, Zhang Xiaobai has some maturity that is unmatched by his peers.

Especially now, it is not just as simple as maturity, it seems that I have reached a state of living.

The state of no confusion.

Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "The earthquake in Wenshan has changed me. A change in mentality always requires an opportunity. Brother Yi, to be honest, except for family and friends, I take other things very lightly..."

After a pause, Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Yes, other things are very light, like floating clouds."

Niu Yi smiled and said, "Congratulations, you finally understand!"

Zhang Xiaobai scanned the surroundings again and found nothing unusual, nor did he see Yuan Yang.

Zhang Xiaobai frowned and said, "In his territory, wouldn't he dare to come?"

Niu Yi smiled and said: "It should be because Cheng Shifei is not here!"

…

…

Cheng Shifei was indeed not there. If he were, Yuan Yang would have already appeared in the central square.

Now he is still in Yuan Mansion, and he is frowning.

I received a call from Zhang Xiaobai and made an appointment to meet at the central square. I really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling, so I didn't dare to go there rashly.

The most important thing is that the spies reported that the man wearing a sheepskin waistcoat was with Zhang Xiaobai.

Then I wouldn’t even dare to.

Hu Wan made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table. He stood aside and said, "There is strength in numbers. Are we afraid of him in our territory?"

Yuan Yang waved his hand and said: "You don't know how powerful that Niu Yi is. I have seen it before. Master Cheng is not here, and no one can be his opponent."

Hu Wan said: "How dare he take action?"

Yuan Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows? Probably not, but I have to do it anyway!"

Hu Wan frowned and said, "Then you won't go?"

Yuan Yang said: "Wait a little longer!"

Ten minutes later, the phone rang and the spy reported that Zhang Xiaobai and Niu Yi had been together and there were no ambush around them.

Yuan Yang thought for a while, stood up and said, "Let's go meet those two brothers with me."

When the two were halfway on the road, Zhang Xiaobai's phone called again.

"What? I don't even dare to come here in your territory?" Zhang Xiaobai said sarcastically.

Yuan Yang said impatiently: "Why are you so anxious? Get out of here if you can't wait!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Wait another half hour. If you don't arrive, I will leave."

Yuan Yang said: "We'll be there in fifteen minutes!"

…

…

What Yuan Yang said was accurate, almost to the minute. Exactly fifteen minutes later, the two met again.

This time all four people sat on the steps.

There were more curious eyes in the crowd.

When two pairs of people are together, they are a bit like a king and a beggar.

Zhang Xiaobai and Yuan Yang were next to each other, with Hu Wan and Niu Yi on both sides.

Two people were smoking pipes and pots, and two people were smoking cigarettes. The scene was a bit funny.

Yuan Yang couldn't help it first and asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaobai took a puff of cigarette, turned to look at Yuan Yang, and said, "Can we reconcile?"

Hearing this sentence, Yuan Yang was stunned for a long time and did not react for a while.

After fighting for so long, Zhang Xiaobai had the upper hand in every aspect, but he actually wanted to reconcile, which he really couldn't understand.

After a long time, Yuan Yang said: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Obviously, after much thought, he still couldn't figure it out, something that didn't make sense.

Zhang Xiaobai looked at the people coming and going.

Old people, children, couples.

Some are walking, some are running, some are flying kites, and some are playing the erhu.

Pointing with his finger, Zhang Xiaobai said, "How do you think they live?"

Yuan Yang's eyes fell on those people, and his expression became more and more puzzled. "I don't think they live very well. I dare not say 100%, but at least 90% envy you and me."

This is the truth. Few people know how to be content. In this materialistic era, the pursuit of material things seems to have become the only belief.

People live not only for three meals a day, not only for a wife and children, but also for a high-quality life and the top resources of society.

Successful people like Zhang Xiaobai and Yuan Yang are the objects of their envy and jealousy.

Yuan Yang felt that what he said made sense, and turned to look at Zhang Xiaobai, waiting for his reply.

Zhang Xiaobai did not follow Yuan Yang's train of thought, and said something a little inexplicable, "As long as you are alive!"

Yuan Yang sneered, "Are you going to die?"

He said this instinctively, but he regretted it after he said it. He could feel a pair of eyes piercing him.

Niu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and made a gesture to shut up.

Zhang Xiaobai slowly took a puff of cigarette, and the image of Wenshan appeared in his mind. He murmured: "Everyone will die one day."

Yuan Yang smiled and said: "Is it lighter than a feather? Or heavier than Mount Tai?"

Zhang Xiaobai said lightly: "Whether it is lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, I don't want to go."

Yuan Yang pouted, a little reluctant to pay attention to him. He always felt that he was a little nervous today, as if he was stimulated by something.
