Xiao Bing left the club and found a secluded place. He took off his mask and changed into a new set of clothes. Then he took a taxi to the city village where Ear lived.
It was more than three hours away from Jingdu. After the car drove into the urban village, Xiao Bing paid the fare and walked in alone.
Er Er lived in a small wooden house in a deserted suburb of the city.
Xiao Bing walked to the door of the wooden house and knocked. There was no response from inside.
Xiao Bing was hesitating whether to push the door open or wait outside for a while when he heard two coughs coming from behind him. Xiao Bing turned around and saw Ear walking towards him with the help of a cane. Ear's white hair was messy and uncombed. With the cane in his hand, he looked no different from an ordinary old man. Xiao Bing quickly walked up to him.
"Headmaster, you're here."
Xiao Bing smiled and held Ear as he walked towards the wooden house. Xiao Bing did not know why, but he could vaguely feel that the moment he held Ear, Ear's emotions were fluctuating. Usually, Ear's emotions were undetectable and always calm. But at this moment, Ear's emotions suddenly became excited for a moment, and then quickly calmed down.
Xiao Bing helped him into the wooden house and helped him to sit on a chair. Xiao Bing sat on another chair and looked at Ear. He asked with a smile, "Did you go shopping, sir?"
"Yes, I went to the village." Ear picked up the comb on the table and combed his hair to the back, revealing his entire face, a face without ears.
"Headmaster, are you here to accept a task this time?"
Xiao Bing was surprised. "How did you know?"
Ear laughed hoarsely. "Your friends, Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan, have all disappeared. I think you must want to accept a task to train them."
Xiao Bing admired Ear's intelligence from the bottom of his heart. "That's right. They are still lacking in strength. I want to train them more. But Dumbass doesn't need it for the time being. I want to find a mission suitable for Zhan Hongyan and let the other members of the Dragon Gate accompany her."
"That would be great. Zhan Hongyan used to work as a killer. I have a task that is especially suitable for her …" Ear took out a piece of white paper with a person's photo and personal information printed on it. He handed it to Xiao Bing and said, "The person in the photo is Kang Tai, a Burmese drug lord. Someone offered a high price for his head. Because he is not easy to deal with, he specifically came to Dragon Gate …"
Xiao Bing took the piece of paper and asked, "Who's the employer? Is it reliable? "
"I am not familiar with the employer, but the middleman is very reliable. He has worked with our Dragon Sect before, and it was a pleasant collaboration."
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "I don't know who the employer is, but it is easy to analyze. There are only a few possibilities. One is that someone inside Kang Tai wants to kill Kang Tai and then take over himself. Another is that other big drug lords want to destroy Kang Tai and fight for market share. But no matter what, it has nothing to do with us. The big drug lords themselves deserve to die, so we can accept this task. But although Kang Tai is not the biggest drug lord in Burma, he is still a very famous one. It is estimated that the risk will be very high. "
Ear laughed and said, "How can it be considered training if there is no risk?"
Xiao Bing put away the information and asked, "Are there any other tasks?"
Er Er said solemnly, "Now, we have to choose our missions carefully. Otherwise, we will be targeted by the Buddhists. If something goes wrong, it is very likely that someone will die. Every one of the Eight Dragon Gate Generals is a rare top expert. None of them can die."
Xiao Bing said, "I understand."
"Well, you just accepted the task a few days ago. This is the only new task for the time being. Go back and arrange it. Master, do you have anything else to do now? "
"There is nothing else." Xiao Bing looked at Ear and said, "I just want to chat with you now."
A strange light flashed in Ear's eyes. He asked, "Chat with me?"
"Yes." Xiao Bing looked at the simple wooden house and asked, "Are you used to living here?"
"I'm used to it … I'm just like this. I like quiet when I'm old. If I live in a place that is too good, I won't be used to it."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "I think your body is just ordinary now. You lack people to take care of you."
"Don't worry." Ear laughed, but his laughter sounded weak. "I won't die yet … At least I can live for another ten or twenty years. Although my ears are gone, it does not prevent me from seeing what you are saying … Instead, I can feel everything around me more clearly. I can feel it with my heart."
Xiao Bing was taken aback and asked, "Sir, do you always read my lips when you talk to me?"
Ear laughed bitterly and said, "It took me a long time to learn how to read lips."
Xiao Bing frowned and asked, "How did your ears go missing? Who cut off your ears? If you tell me, I can help you kill him. "
"There will be a day like that." After Ear finished speaking, he said in a calm tone, "You don't have to worry about me. The important thing is that our Dragon Gate continues to develop and become stronger and stronger. I am waiting for the day when you become stronger and stronger. One day, you will be stronger than Mr. Buddha of Buddhism."
Xiao Bing said with great confidence, "There will be a day like that."
Xiao Bing did not know why, but he could feel that there were still many secrets hidden in this Ear. He did not want to be discovered or let others know. But these were not important, as long as he knew that Ear was on his side. But just like what Xiao Bing said, if one day he knew how Ear disappeared, Xiao Bing would definitely avenge him and kill that person!
Xiao Bing glanced at the time and said, "I won't leave today. I will accompany you for dinner first, and then we will find a small hotel in the village to stay in at night. By the way, what is there to eat at home now? "
"Egg fried rice …"
Xiao Bing did not say anything else. He stood up and said to Ear, "Mr. Ear, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
After that, Xiao Bing walked out.
Looking at Xiao Bing's back as he left, Ear's eyes flashed with some complicated emotions. Finally, his eyes fell on a mirror on the wall. He looked at his own appearance in the mirror, looked at his smooth face without ears, and murmured to himself in a hoarse voice, "Compared to that, is my hatred important … Is my ears important …"
After that, Ear withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the door.
Because he could not hear, he could only use his eyes to see and feel with his heart. He seemed to be afraid that when Xiao Bing came in, he would not know that he had missed a glance.
Xiao Bing soon returned. When he came back again, Xiao Bing was carrying a few snow-white steamed buns, a roast chicken, and a bottle of white wine in his hands.
Looking at the things in Xiao Bing's hands, Ear was stunned. Xiao Bing directly sat down on a chair and said with a smile, "Mr. Ear …"
Ear suddenly said with some excitement, "Don't call me Mr. Ear … Call me … Call me Uncle Ear."
"Okay." Xiao Bing's heart warmed, and he said with a smile, "Calling me uncle sounds more intimate, then I will call you Uncle Ear. Uncle Ear, let me drink with you. Do you welcome me? "
"Welcome … Welcome … I welcome you to drink with me at any time … But … I still hope to see you become stronger, so that no one dares to bully you, and no one can ever threaten you."
Xiao Bing asked with a smile, "Am I not strong enough now?"
Ear said with a serious face, "Do you think you can protect everyone now? That no one in the world can threaten you or everyone around you? If you think so, then you are strong enough. "
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Well, not yet. But becoming strong is not something that can be done in a day or two. Come on, let's eat. "
Xiao Bing stood up, took a bowl, chopsticks, and a cup from the bowl rack, and took two plates. Then he tore the roast chicken into pieces and put them on the plates. Then he opened the bottle of wine and poured a glass of white wine for himself and Ear.
Xiao Bing sat down, looked at Ear, raised his glass, and said, "Uncle Ear, let me toast you with this glass of wine. I won't say thank you to you. Just by calling you uncle, I, as your junior, should toast you."
"Good, good." Ear liked what Xiao Bing said very much. His cloudy eyes even bloomed with light. He grabbed the wine glass with his wrinkled hand and clinked glasses with Xiao Bing. In a low and hoarse voice, he said, "Let's drink this glass."
The two of them drank the wine in one gulp. Although the glass was not big, it was still a lot of wine. After drinking, Ear coughed twice and finally sighed, "I haven't drunk like this for a long time."
Today's Ear was very different from usual. Usually, Ear looked like calm water that would never have the slightest ripple. Today, he was obviously much more emotional. When Xiao Bing was with him in the past, he would never let Xiao Bing catch any different emotions. Of course, Xiao Bing did not have much contact with him before, let alone eat together.
Xiao Bing took a piece of meat and smiled at Ear. "Uncle Ear, you should eat too."
"Yes." Ear also grabbed a piece of chicken and ate it. As he ate, he looked at Xiao Bing. His eyes never left Xiao Bing's face.
After eating a piece of chicken, Xiao Bing helped Ear pour wine and filled his own glass. Xiao Bing asked curiously, "Uncle Ear, I don't understand why you are helping me and why you are so good to me."
The Ear said, "Just like what I said before, maybe we are fated … This fate, can never be cut off, can never be straightened out."
