Inside the rental house.

Yang Peng heard Yang Dong's question, grabbed the dirty towel next to the faucet, and wiped it on his face: "Don't ask." ”

"What do you mean I don't ask?!" Hearing Yang Peng's answer, a wave of anger suddenly rose from the bottom of Yang Dong's heart: "Didn't you promise me that you would never gamble again!"

"It's my own business, I can handle it. Yang Peng left a cold sentence and turned around to go back to the room.

"Your own business? You ask yourself, in the past two years, in order to avoid your gambling debts, how many times have we moved? How many times have we slept in the bridge hole? If you can really handle it, will we fall to this point?" Yang Dong roared, his eyes slightly red: "I have been working hard outside for two years, and I finally paid off your gambling debts, and now you are gambling again, you have to force me to die to be willing, right?!"

"You fucking fart! If I hadn't brought you up, you would have starved to death on the street! Who the fuck still has the strength to quarrel with me today! I raised you so big, did you let you point your nose and count me?" Yang Peng blushed and roared, seeing Yang Dong's tearful eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the volume of his speech dropped a little: "I said, this is my business, don't get involved, I can solve it myself." ”

After the words fell, Yang Peng turned around and walked into the gloomy rental room.

After Yang Peng left, Luo Han sighed and looked at Yang Dong helplessly: "Brother Peng gambled again?"

"I don't know the details, but when I got home, I saw them fighting!" Yang Dong sat on the steps in front of the door irritably: "I don't know where he got such a big gambling addiction." ”

"Alright, don't be angry. Luo Han sat beside Yang Dong, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

“......”

Yang Dong chatted with Luo Han at the door for a while, tried to adjust his emotions, got up, and walked into the rental house, the environment rented by the Yang brothers was very simple, it was a tube room of about ten square meters, in addition to a few dilapidated tables and chairs that the landlord did not want, there was only a bunk bed found in the second-hand market.

Seeing Yang Peng sitting at the head of the bed, taking care of his wounds, Yang Dong sighed, took the iodophor in Yang Peng's hand, Yang Peng saw Yang Dong's movements, glanced at his mouth, and turned around in a muffled voice.

"How much money do you owe this time?" Yang Dong helped Yang Peng apply potion to the wound on his back, and asked in a low voice.

"This time I won, but they wouldn't let me take the money away, and finally I found a guy to play with me, and I was so dazed that I thought I could turn it over, so I raised the loan shark. Yang Peng was silent for a long time and responded softly.

"How much is the IOU?"

"Fifteen thousand. ”

Hearing Yang Peng say this number, Yang Dong blinked his eyes vigorously: "Brother." ”

"Hmm. ”

"I'll pay it back tomorrow, but don't gamble in the future, okay?" Yang Dong looked at his brother's scarred back, and he didn't know how many times he repeated this sentence.

"......" Yang Peng fell silent again when he heard this.

"I'll find a guest house and open a room for you in a while, and you can hide outside for a few days before this debt is repaid. ”

“......”

......

A few minutes later, Yang Dong washed his face with cold water and walked out of the room.

"How is it, have you asked clearly?" Luo Han saw Yang Dong go out and greeted him: "How much do you owe?"

"Fifteen thousand. Yang Dong stretched out his hand and rubbed his face: "Man, do you have any money in your hand, lend me some first." ”

Luo Han was a little helpless: "Do you plan to pay back this money?"

"If you don't pay it back, I'm just a little common man, competing with those blind people all day long, even if I can toss, my brother can't afford to toss. ”

Seeing Yang Dong's irritable appearance, Luo Han didn't talk nonsense, but asked bluntly, "How much do you lack now?"

"I have eight thousand in my hand, and seven thousand are missing. Yang Dong paused: "At the end of this month, the market will refund the deposit for renting the house to me, and as soon as the money arrives, I will pay you back." ”

"It's useless to say, I'll feed the whole family alone and not be hungry, you can still do it anytime. Luo Han smiled: "But I definitely don't have seven thousand, I just finished maintaining the car yesterday, and replaced four new tires, and I have more than two thousand left." ”

"Two thousand is fine. Yang Dong nodded: "I'll go to Tianchi to make up some more." ”

"Yes, I'll go with you, this grandson has been making a lot of money lately. Luo Han grinned and walked out with Yang Dong's shoulders in his arms.

......

S estuary District, a second-class street next to a construction site.

"Squeak!"

After the taxi slowly stalled, Luo Han pushed the car door and tapped the small courtyard in front of him with his chin: "It's here, let's go!"

Yang Dong glanced in the direction pointed by Luo Han, and in front of them was a small courtyard facing the street, and the black iron gate of the courtyard was open at this time, and workers wearing hard hats entered and exited from time to time.

"Tianchi moved?" Seeing this scene, Yang Dong frowned slightly, thinking that if Lin Tianchi had fallen to such a point, he would really be embarrassed to open his mouth with him.

"No, he's doing business here. Luo Han stretched out his hand and said, "This is his new store." ”

"Xindian?" Yang Dong was stunned again: "I saw him last week, didn't he still pedal a tricycle to sell fruits?"

"Ah, yes, didn't he make money selling fruit recently, so he changed careers and opened this shop. ”

"It's a toss-up. Yang Dong was speechless.

Tianchi said, he is poor himself, so he is not afraid of tossing, if he tosses right, he will become a rich man, if he tosses wrong, he is still poor, but if he doesn't toss, then he will be poor all his life. Luo Han grinned, took Yang Dong's shoulders and walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard rented by Lin Tianchi was obviously larger than where Yang Dong lived, and as soon as Yang Dong entered the door, a young man suddenly came out of the wing room at the door and stopped him: "Hey, if you buy a ticket, you can drill in." ”

"Buy a ticket?" Yang Dong looked at the young man a little confused: "You are not a movie theater, I still have to buy a ticket when I enter the door?"

Before the young man could open his mouth, the arhat behind him stretched out his hand and hugged the young man's head: "You unlucky child, how can anyone dare to stop you!"

"Ah, Brother Han is here...... Hehe, I didn't know you guys knew each other. When the young man saw Luohan, he immediately grinned, took out a cigarette and handed it to Luohan and Yang Dong: "Brother, smoke!"

"Dongzi, let me introduce you, this is an employee of Tianchi, Zhang Ao. Luo Han stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man, and continued: "Zhang Ao, this is Yang Dong, Tianchi, and the three of us are kowtow brothers. ”

"Ah, Brother Dong, I've been looking up for a long time!" Zhang Ao grinned after listening to Luohan's introduction: "I usually hear my boss mention you!"

"Your boss?" Yang Dong couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Why do you still have such a title!"

"Hehe, Brother Tianchi said, to do a business like ours, you have to call it that way in order to be able to control the field. As Zhang Ao spoke, he took out his mobile phone: "Brother Tianchi went out to buy a Y set, you sit down first, I'll call him and tell him you're coming!"

"Avoid the Y set?" Yang Dong heard this, frowning and looking at Luohan: "What kind of business does Tianchi do?"

"He's bought a Y set, I told you that he opened a coffee house, can you believe it!" Luo Han glanced at Yang Dong speechlessly: "What kind of business can it be, just the little thing in the crotch!"

"Fishing for the wrong door?" Yang Dong asked bluntly.

"If you want to say that, I won't fight you. Luo Han grinned: "Tianchi said, this is a business without capital, and the money comes very quickly!"

"!"

Yang Dong threw down two words with a cold face, no longer paid attention to Luohan, and walked quickly to the room in the courtyard.

Zhang Ao saw Yang Dong's gloomy face, and was stunned: "Brother Han, has Brother Dong's temper always been so bad?"

"Divide people, divide things, Tianchi likes to ponder these crooked ways since he was a child, and he doesn't listen to anyone's words, but I don't know why, from childhood to adulthood, only Dongzi can suppress him. Luo Han paused: "We both obey him!"

"I know, it's charisma. Zhang Ao replied wittily.

......

Yang Dong walked to the door of the room, stretched out his hand, directly pushed open the door, and then walked into the room, the big room that Lin Tianchi rented had been divided into a small single room by him with plywood, and the position of the door was left, leaving only a small corridor for people to enter and exit, which seemed very crowded.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Yang Dong stood in the middle of the corridor for a while, and suddenly felt a little puzzled, because although the rooms around him were full of people, except for the sound of the wooden bed shaking, it was surprisingly quiet, and no other sound could be heard at all.

"Bang dang!"

Just when Yang Dong was puzzled, the door of a room next to him was pushed open, and then a middle-aged man with a red face went out, lifting his pants and walking out.

In the room of less than four square meters next to it, there was only a lone single bed, and on that single bed was a blonde and blue-eyed inflatable doll.

"......!" Yang Dong looked at the inflatable doll on the bed, froze in place for nearly ten seconds, and turned to leave.

The moment Yang Dong went out, he happened to meet Lin Tianchi, who was also carrying a big black plastic bag, and walked into the yard from the outside, the two looked at each other for less than a second, Lin Tianchi threw the bag in his hand, and walked quickly in front of Yang Dong, frowning: "How did you get your face?!"

"You don't care about my business first, let me ask you, what's going on with you here?" Yang Dong pointed to the room behind him and said with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong with me, isn't that good? Lin Tianchi glanced at Yang Dong's expression, and the corners of his eyes jumped: "What, before doing this business, I consulted with a lawyer, about the inflatable doll industry, the state has no clear legal provisions, saying that it is illegal for people to have a relationship with plastic people, and the service I provide here is not to use inflatable dolls to pick up customers, but to rent, the room fee is ten yuan, and the rent doll is ten yuan, which is operated separately, as for them renting dolls, whether they are fighting landlords, or talking about hearts, it has nothing to do with me, hehe." ”

"Are you sure this isn't illegal?" After listening to Lin Tianchi's explanation, Yang Dong's face softened a lot.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, aren't you at ease when I do things, if you die, it's a side game, and you can't find me if you break the law and discipline." Lin Tianchi's voice fell, and he looked at Yang Dong's swollen cheeks: "Brother Peng, is he gambling again?"

"Hmm. Yang Dong nodded: "It's been less than three months since the days of dissipation, and the debt collectors have come to the door." ”

"How much does Uncle Peng owe this time?" Lin Tianchi heard that Yang Peng was involved in gambling again, and asked a little worriedly.

"Fifteen thousand!"

"That's not a lot. Lin Tianchi opened his mouth directly, took Yang Dong's words, and then smiled: "This morning, I sent another batch of dolls with sounds, and there is not much money left in my hand, if you need it urgently, I will return the goods." ”

"I've already made up some of them, and I'm still five thousand short. "Yang Dong, Luohan and Lin Tianchi are brothers who have played since childhood, and they have not detoured, and they have made their intentions clear.

"Okay, before noon tomorrow, I'll make up the money for you, since you're here, don't leave, stay at night, let's have a few drinks." Lin Tianchi's voice fell, and without waiting for Yang Dong to speak, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Arhat!"

"What's wrong?" Luo Han heard Lin Tianchi's shout and asked from the concierge.

"Don't leave at night, stay with me for a drink. ”

Luohan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and nodded: "Okay, the drunk driving has been strictly arrested these days, I will send the car home first, and then come back to you." ”

......

Li Chao went to collect debts in the afternoon, and after being inexplicably smashed by Yang Dong with a brick, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, so he left less than half an hour ago, and gathered more than a dozen people again, and returned to Yang Dong's residence with a knife, but the rental house had already been empty, and only a rusty iron lock remained.

"Chao'er, do you say that Yang Peng is a fool, do you want to run?" Xiaobo looked at the padlocked courtyard door and asked with a frown.

"Damn, do you need to ask. Li Chao looked at the lock on the door with gloomy eyes: "Do you have a letter to the two people I asked you to inquire about just now?"

......

Four hours later, as night fell, the sweltering heat gradually dissipated.

The evening breeze is refreshing.

In Lin Tianchi's yard, Yang Dong, Luo Han, Lin Tianchi, and Zhang Ao sat in front of a barbecue stove, tinkering with their own skewers, and the air was filled with fragrance.

"Boom!"

Lin Tianchi touched Yang Dong with the wine glass, and drank the wine in the cup: "Brother Peng owes the money, when do you plan to pay it back?"

"Tomorrow at noon, when your 5,000 arrives, I will go to the guy who lent money, this kind of thing, deal with it as soon as possible, and feel at ease. When it came to Yang Peng's gambling debts, Yang Dong was slightly irritable.

"I'll go with you, I'll be fine tomorrow. Lin Tianchi was worried that Yang Dong would have an accident, so he interjected.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, let's have a drink first. ”

......

Meanwhile, the Xinshui Road Farmers' Market.

Li Chao stood in front of an iron shed and looked at the young man beside him: "Xiaobo, are you sure it's this shed, don't make a mistake." ”

"Don't worry, you can't be wrong, I've already inquired, the stupid guy who picked up the bricks in the afternoon is called Yang Dong, who is Yang Peng's younger brother, and this broken fast food restaurant is opened by him. ”

"Okay! After listening to Xiaobo's words, Li Chao waved his hand slightly, and the three young people behind him saw this, each carrying a plastic bucket, and disappeared into the night.

A minute later.

"Boom!"

With a scorching heat wave, the tin house of Yang Dongkai's restaurant suddenly rose up to several meters high.
