Chapter 21 Old Fowler
Dolly jumped into the room and said happily, "Uncle Fowler, why did you come here?"
A rich baritone said, "Dolly, I haven't seen you for a while. It's getting more and more beautiful!" Then he said jokingly, "Why are you still happy when you come here? I heard from your father that he has found a good man for you. Of course, the uncle will come to check it!"
He is talking about a very fat middle-aged man. He can't tell his general age from his appearance, but he has a momentum to go through the vicissitudes of life. This kind of person must have experienced many things that ordinary people have never experienced before he can develop such a temperament.
This man is the leader of another big force in Nile Town - Fowler, but the locals prefer to call him Old Fowler. Although no one knows his detailed age, he has always called it that.
Dolly waved to Gu Lie standing at the door and said, "Come in and see Uncle Fowler!"
Gu Lie entered the room and closed the door, put the bag aside, and said, "Good job, uncle!" At the same time, he is also observing what is special about a man who can sit on an equal footing with Philo.
However, he was disappointed. Except for his slightly sharp eyes, Fowler looked like an extremely kind old man, not as domineering as a gang leader at all.
This is just a momentary feeling. Of course, Gu Lie will not be so convinced by one side. At Fowler's age, his temper is already quite restrained. A kind face can be said to be from the heart, or it can also be a disguise.
Fowler looked up at him without much emotion on his face. He nodded lightly and said, "Yes, yes!" He tilted his head and said to Domin, "Old man, your eyes are quite unique!"
Duoming has been with him for many years. Naturally, he understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate Gu Lie. Yesterday, he successfully delayed Philo."
"Gu Lie..." A smile appeared on Fowler's face. Obviously, the reason for the smile was the same as Dolly and Domin. Gu Lie was numb.
"Interesting name!" Fowler nodded, "The young man is good. He can successfully delay Philo and is not seriously injured. His combat effectiveness is worthy of recognition."
"Uncle Fowler, Gu Lie's combat effectiveness is super strong. Don't be fooled by his physique!" Dolly interrupted.
Fowler said in disbelief, "It seems to be a little too much to use the word 'super'!" At his age, Gu Lie is fully qualified to say such words. Gu Lie doesn't think so, but has a faint smile on his face. After all, he has a very good relationship with Duoming's father and daughter, and it is their umbrella. If he wants to stay in Nile Town, either to vote for Philo or Fowler. Now it seems that Old Fowler is more reliable. Point.
Dolly fought for Gu Lie and told what happened in the Zhenbei Mountain. Gu Lie had to admit that she was still very talented in storytelling. She could always grasp the key points and arouse people's desires. She couldn't even take a breath and kept talking, even if she experienced the whole thing together today. Gu Lie was still very interested in listening to the matter.
The smile on Fowler's face was getting stronger and stronger, but Domin frowned tightly. He didn't expect that Philo would dare to send someone to intercept his daughter. If Gu Lie hadn't followed him, he might never have seen his daughter again.
Fowler reached out and patted Domin's shoulder and said with a smile, "Old man, you have a good vision. You have chosen such a young man. He is responsible, brave and resourceful. It's good, quite good!"
The smile on Dolly's face became stronger and stronger. She had never heard her uncle praise a man like this.
Gu Lie was a little shocked to hear it, especially Fowler's last two "good", which were extremely cold, and the chill contained in it made him shudder.
Although he knew that this tone was not for him, Gu Lie still felt cold from his heart. The old man was not angry. Once he got angry, it was really a little scary. He was worthy of being a gang leader. That kind of momentum, especially when his face was full of laughter, was cold, which would definitely make people feel a lot of pressure.
Domin said lightly, "This Philo is really easy for us to bully!"
Fowler shook his head and said, "Old man, you and I are so old. Don't be impulsive. It's right for young people to do things!" With that, he glanced at Gu Lie.
Duoming frowned slightly and said, "You mean to let Gu Lie come forward?"
Fowler nodded and said, "I think he is the most representative now! Anyway, I'm going to marry Dolly, and it can also be regarded as my own family. I'm old, and I can't sit in the position of boss all the time. I always have to train successors. I think Gu Lie is good, especially the calmness and decisiveness in dealing with things, which is the quality I appreciate very much.
Doming said worriedly, "I'm afraid..."
Fowler interrupted, "Old man, I know what you're afraid of! Don't worry, as long as I can still move for a day, Philo won't dare to make trouble in Nile Town. At least from N6 to N9, he doesn't dare to mess around!" He snorted heavily.
Gu Lie sighed in his heart. Fowler is indeed old. No wonder Philo dared to attack him and Dolly. Just listening to what Fowler said, he didn't mean to turn against Philo at all. He just wanted to maintain the current situation and occupy the four areas from N6 to N9.
Once people lose their enterprising spirit, they will become timid. Sooner or later, the existing ones will be taken away. Although Gu Lie has never experienced this kind of intrigue, he still understands the truth of the book.
Dorming obviously did not agree with Fowler's idea, but he did not explicitly oppose it, so he had to listen silently.
Fowler stood up from the sofa. Under the tight leather coat, his round belly looked very funny. "Old buddy, I'll go first. I'll go to my place tomorrow to get something. The curly mouse fur is of good quality!" He said.
Doming said, "Let's meet tomorrow!" He got up and sent Fowler out.
"Goodbye, uncle!" Dolly said cleverly.
Gu Lie didn't say anything, but just nodded to Fowler.
After Domin went out with Fowler, Dolly closed the door and suddenly said, "Do you have any opinion of the uncle?"
Gu Lie shook his head and said, "I have no opinion!"
"No wonder there is no!" Dolly shrank herself into the sofa and whispered, "Uncle won't live long, so he doesn't want to go to war again. He said that he had killed too many people and did not want to be stained with blood before he died, which would make him die uneasy.
Gu Lie said "Oh". No wonder Fowler seemed to be a little depressed. It turned out that there was such a reason.
"Well, let's not talk about these unhappy things. I'll take you to see something!" Dolly jumped up from the sofa and pulled Gu Lie into her bedroom.
