小山村下，拾级而上的三位老人突然停下了脚步。

�0�2�0�2长衫老人背着手，望着山上。“感知到了吧，他发怒了”。

�0�2�0�2身后的刘希夷顺着老人的目光望去，脸色苍白，面露畏惧之色。

�0�2  �0�2一旁佝偻枯瘦的老人眼露杀意。“我们太迁就他了”。

�0�2�0�2  长衫老人淡淡道：“杀人家儿子，还不容许人家发火，世上哪有这样的道理”。

    “陆山民并没有死”。

    “所以他只是发怒，如果真死了，那就不是发怒，而是拼命了”。

�0�2�0�2  佝偻老人目光凌厉。“天作孽犹可恕，自作孽不可活。我们给过他太多机会，要不然他岂能活到今天”。

�0�2�0�2长衫老人微微摇了摇头，“我答应过他”。

�0�2�0�2  佝偻老人余光看了一眼身后脸色苍白的刘希夷，说道：“老先生，我无意冒犯您。但在大局面前，您那个承诺未免太儿戏了吧”。

�0�2�0�2“糜老，我如果连承诺都做不到，与那些不择手段唯利是图的人又有何区别”？

�0�2�0�2佝偻老人说道：“但您不是一个人，您代表的是一群人”。

�0�2�0�2长衫老人笑了笑，“如果连承诺都做不到，我们这群人又与那些吸血敲骨的财阀有何区别”？

�0�2�0�2  佝偻老人沉默了片刻，喃喃道：“老先生，您这就有点抬杠了”。

    长衫老人叹了口气，说道：“初心难守啊，连你我这样的人都难以守住，更何况别人”。

  佝偻老人不以为然道：“老先生，杞人忧天了”。

�0�2�0�2长衫老人摇了摇头，“糜老，还记得我们建立组织的初衷吗”？

�0�2�0�2佝偻老人双眼微闭，似是在回想遥远的过去。

�0�2�0�2“当然记得，天地不公，强者无德，弱者无依，吾辈当勠力同心、锄强扶弱，共襄大同”。

�0�2�0�2“你还记得张全生这个名字吧”。

    佝偻老人的脸色突然变得阴沉，他怎么可能不记得，这个名字一直是他心中的痛。

    长衫老人喃喃道：“当年你到江南寻觅人才，在一个叫云台的小镇发现了他。那是一个盛夏的夜晚，酷热难当、蚊虫飞舞，他就那么顶着高温和蚊虫叮咬坐在路灯下看书，看得津津有味、浑然不知有人走近了他的身旁。三岁丧母、十岁丧父，家徒四壁，穷且益坚。你一眼就看中了这个小男孩儿”。

      佝偻老人接着说道：“我不放心别人，亲自关注他的成长，供他读书，照顾他的生活，给他讲人生的道理。他也很争气，以省状元的成绩考入了青华大学。大学期间他依然努力上进，以优异的成绩获得了哈佛大学的录取，哈佛六年拿了三个博士学位”。

      长衫老人转头看着佝偻老人，“回国后，你把他安排进入方达投资，三年时间从普通员工做到二把手，又仅仅两年时间做到了一把手。虽然这里面有你的帮助，但不得不承认，他是个难得的人才”。

      长衫老人回头望着山上，“在那个位置上仅仅坐了两年，名下豪宅近十套，豪车游轮数十辆，贪污受贿过亿，利益输送过十亿，专横跋扈，打压人才。更可怕的是，他为了逃脱惩罚，手握众多我们的资料威胁组织，害得我们不得不放弃方达投资，造成几十亿的损失”。

    佝偻老人面色阴沉，“我亲自把他送进了监狱，亲自安排人在监狱里结果了他的性命”。

    长衫老人问道：“心痛吧”？

    佝偻老人面露痛苦之色，“我到现在都没有想明白，他为什么会变成那个样子”。

    长衫老人笑了笑，“不忘初心，有多少人能真正做到不忘初心。人一旦身处高位就容易飘。最近几年，张全生这样的人越来越多”。

    长衫老人看着佝偻老人，“千里之堤毁于蚁穴，别小看一个小小的承诺，它不仅仅只是一个承诺，更是我们的根基”。

    佝偻老人望着山上，没有再说话。

    长衫老人淡淡道：“糜老，你我早晚是要走的人，现在你我在时尚且有那么多人忘记了初心，若你我不在了，该当如何”。

    佝偻老人看向长衫老人，“你是真心想选择他”？

    长衫老人说道：“在这个纷纷扰扰的世界，陆家父子是唯一历经贫苦与繁华而仍然初心不变的人”。

    佝偻老人望向山上，“恐怕是我们一厢情愿吧”。

    长衫老人淡淡道：“传承的重要性并不比吞并几大家族小，我们都老得不能再老了，再不未雨绸缪，我们辛辛苦苦打下的江山就会变天了”。

    长衫老人脸上布满忧虑，“你想过没有，假如我们不在了，组织会不会变成另一个大资本、大财阀。如果真变成了那样，那我们穷其一生所做的就是一个天大的笑话”。

    佝偻老人眉头紧皱，“老先生，最近几年确实有人变节，但那也只是个例，您说得太严重了吧”。

    长衫老人摇了摇头，“你知道我说得并不严重，你也知道这个世界上最经不起考验、最不能期许的就是人心人性。现在的组织太庞大了，太有钱有势了，也太具诱惑力了”。

    佝偻老人低下了头，喃喃道：“他确实是一个合适的人选，但是、、、”。

    长衫老人说道：“我知道你在想什么，你一直都不相信他是真心投诚。”“其实我又何尝不是，但既然关系到传承这么重大的事情，为什么不能给他一个机会，也是给我们自己一个机会”。

      佝偻老人抬起看着长衫老人，“如果最终他还是执迷不悟呢”？

      长衫老人望向山上，山道上的顶端，那里站着一个高大的男人。

    “到时，我亲手杀了他”。

      站在两人身后的刘希夷也看见了那个高大的男人。

      “老先生，我错了”。

      长衫老人没有回头看他。“你错在哪里”？

      刘希夷手心里全是汗水，“之前老先生叮嘱我不要轻易对陆山民下手，是我自作主张劝说糜老对他下手”。

    “跟我认错没用，去跟他说吧”。

      说着，长衫老人抬脚向上迈出一步，对着山道顶端喊道：“我带他们来向你赔罪”。

      随着老人踏出一步，山道上那人动了。

      如猛虎下山般一跃而下。
