Chapter 979

"That was how many years ago, and I can't remember. At that time, I should be in my twenties, or a young man like you, but I am not doing the current business. Every day Living a bloody life, young people don’t know what’s good or bad, they always feel that their life is okay, and people around them are afraid of me, that’s enough.”

Victor sighed deeply and said, Xiao Yi had noticed Victor's two hands, the position of the tiger's mouth, and thick calluses, which were caused by long-term use of tools such as daggers and short knives. the result of.

There were also many scars on Victor's hands, Xiao Yi didn't ask about it at the time, but now after hearing what Victor said, Xiao Yi continued Victor's words.

"Mr. Victor is afraid that he was a killer when he was young, right?"

"That's right, I'm indeed a killer. I used to have a good time, but it's all in the past. I don't want to mention it here. I remember one time, I received a mission to assassinate a member of a Western country company. At that time, I was in Huaxia, and there were still a few days before the mission departure time, so I took a walk around the neighborhood when I had nothing to do. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never had a good time to enjoy what belongs to me. time."

A smile appeared on Victor's face. For Victor, the next experience was the most unforgettable in his life. It was also because of this incident that Victor gave up his career as a killer and came to Will Mountain, living the life that is now.

"When I walked to the river, I saw an old man from Huaxia who was fishing by the river. He looked about seventy or eighty years old, his hair was already white, and he was sitting firmly by the river. After a while, the fishing rod moved. Well, he caught a carp and he took the rod and took the fish off the hook and put him in the river."

"I also have nothing to do, so I bought a fishing rod nearby, and fished with the old man by the river, more than ten meters away from the old man. Fishing, as long as I am alone, I thought to myself , and can catch a carp bigger than the old man caught before.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi guessed in his heart, what did Victor say to himself, could there be a deep meaning in such words that he hadn't realized yet.

"What's next for Mr. Victor? A competitive person like you should win, right?"

Victor sat on the chair and shook his head. This is a thing of the past. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Tell the truth in front of Xiao Yi.

"It's really strange to say that no matter how hard I try, I still can't catch a fish, even a small fish. The old man only uses rice grains for fishing, but I buy the best bait. The fish in the river They all swam to the old man's side, but there is none on my side."

"This... this seems a little unreasonable."

"Yeah, I also didn't think it made sense, so I made a request with the old man and changed places with the old man. I went to his place, thinking that the river here is full of fish, and I can catch more than a dozen fishes. come."

Xiao Yi guessed the result, Victor must have failed, otherwise he wouldn't have told him about his past.

Victor laughed at himself a few times, with a sense of helplessness and a sense of vicissitudes in his smile. He instantly felt that Victor had aged a lot, and continued.

"The venue was changed, but the result was the same as before. The fish swam to the old man's side. After waiting for half an hour, I found nothing. I really couldn't figure it out. I started to complain about the bait, and I changed the bait with the old man, but The result is still the same."

"The old man sitting with me has already caught more than 20 carp. After each catch, he took it off the hook and put it back into the water. After two hours of fishing, I completely Failed, I really can't figure out why a person like me would lose to an old man."

Xiao Yi also thought about the reason. It must not be due to external conditions. It should have something to do with people, so Xiao Yi asked.

"Then don't know what happened next? Did Mr. Victor know the reason?"

"At that time, I was also a little puzzled, so I asked the old man why, it was the same fishing rod and bait, why the old man could catch fish, but I couldn't catch anything, and the old man explained the mystery in one sentence. "

Victor, who was lying on the chair, can now recall what it was like at the beginning. He put down the fishing rod and asked the old man in standard Chinese why he always failed.

"The old man said that the murderous aura on my body is too heavy. Everything in this world has spirituality. Although it cannot be expressed, it can feel the murderous aura on my body, so these fish will automatically leave me. To the old man's side."

"It turns out that's the case. I didn't expect that there is such a reason in this simple fishing."

Victor's words revealed the mystery of it. When he told Xiao Yi this story here, the focus was not on the content of the story, but on what happened next.

"The old man can feel the murderous intent on my body, and he reminded me that it's better to be careful in everything. Once you go up some roads, you can't turn back. If you let go now, there is still time, and there will be losses."

Xiao Yi understood a little bit, and understood the purpose of Victor telling himself this story. Victor wanted to use this story to warn himself.

"I think Mr. Victor didn't take this sentence to heart at the time, did he?"

"That's right. I've been walking that road for too long. I've never encountered any accidents. I also feel that the old man is just talking casually. I will go to carry out the mission on the third day. This is the first mission in my mission." The first failure, and the last."

After saying this, Victor's eyes were a little rosy, thinking of the past, a kind of regret welled up in his heart, Victor quickly opened the bottle cap of Erguotou, and took a few mouthfuls.

A few mouthfuls of spirits entered his throat, and Victor coughed a few times, wiping away his tears with one hand. Who said a man wouldn't cry, because when he cried, he didn't want outsiders to see him.

"Ahem...Huaxia's wine is a bit too strong. If you drink too much, your body can't stand it."

Victor forced a smile and said, even the smile was full of sourness and helplessness, and there was a kind of regret in that sigh.

"Mr. Victor, if you don't want to continue, stop here. Memory is a box. Once you open it, ups and downs will come out all at once. This taste is better than the spirit in your hand."
