Poverty is often a breeding ground for filth.

This is most evident in the barren land of the shantytown of Hongshan Lane.

There are not only countless poor toiling people, but also all kinds of thieves and gangsters who do not do their jobs, drunkards, gamblers, and perverts who are away from home all day, and in the middle of the night, they are like a mist mixed with a highly toxic miasma on the Xiahe Street of Hongshan Lane.

Xiahe Street is one of the busiest streets in Hongshan Lane, but it is nothing more than an old concrete road, which is dusty during the day and a lively night market at night, with vendors who come out of nowhere and put on all kinds of cheap gadgets, from clothing, shoes, hats, stockings, bras, to gas stoves, toolboxes and all kinds of controlled knives.

On both sides of the cement road, there are dense small restaurants, barbecue stalls, red light hair salons, billiard rooms, game halls, and video halls with posters of island country AV actresses without clothes hanging at the door.

For them, the video hall is like a magical whirlpool, and at the end of the ambiguous call of the boss, they will be drawn inside, ready to listen to a thrilling physiology lesson.

Directly opposite the video hall, is a low ordinary bungalow, the wooden door of the bungalow hangs a sign that reads "Jincui Mahjong Hall", the bungalow is placed one after another table, some men and women gather around the table, some people are playing mahjong, some are playing poker, and there are two tables for gamblers who like to play dice to bet on the carnival.

The biggest and most murderous game is the table of Zakin Flower, in addition to the more than ten men and women sitting next to the table, there are also three layers of dense wrapping like zongzi.

The people on the outermost floor stood on the wooden bench, waving the Great Unity and the Old Man's head in their hands, looking excited, as if they could dig gold mines here, and among the more than ten players sitting and playing inside, Chu Dapeng was one of them.

He was concentrating on the zakin under the incandescent lamp, his shriveled face was flushed with excitement, and the sweat on his back was already soaking through his clothes, but his luck was very bad tonight, and he lost all the more than 300 yuan he brought, and then borrowed more than 50 yuan from the gambler next to him to continue gambling, but the more he gambled, the more he lost, and the more he wanted to make his hand, the more he was angry.

At four o'clock in the morning, Chu Dapeng was already penniless, and the players next to him were unwilling to lend him money, so he threw the three cards in his hand on the table and scolded: "Damn! Why do you stink so badly! Don't play!"

In this kind of shabby small casino, it is not easy for the winner to leave, and no one will stop the loser from leaving, and the man who lent 50 yuan to Chu Dapeng saw that he was leaving, and said with a smile: "Brother Dapeng, remember to bring more money to play next time." ”

"With such luck, I'll play a fart in the future!" Chu Dapeng said so, but as long as he had money in hand, he would immediately drill here.

After scolding and going out, Chu Dapeng ordered a lovesick bird, he took the only four yuan on his body, and was about to go to the barbecue stall to buy some chicken legs and peanuts and go back to drink and eat, when two tall young men came over.

Chu Dapeng didn't care, he walked over directly, when the two sides passed by, he didn't even have a chance to react, he felt that his eyes were dark, his head was covered by something, after he reacted, he was just about to scream, his head slammed loudly, and then he heard a guy's voice cold and said: "Drag it away!"

Chu Dapeng was shocked and wanted to scream, but he was immediately gagged with a rag with the smell of swill, and was dragged away like a dead dog.

Along the way, Chu Dapeng whimpered and struggled in fright, but it was useless, and he didn't know how long it took, he was thrown to the ground with a "bang", and his whole body felt like it was going to fall apart, and then his eyes lit up, and the hood was torn off, and he saw himself in a dark, cold and damp alley, and several tall men staring at him with unkind faces.

Chu Dapeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, opened his mouth and shouted for help, and a guy with a tiger in the arm in front of him slashed his face with a punch, which made him look like a gold star.

"Call me again?"

As the guy spoke, he suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed his throat, the strength was amazing, he almost closed his breath, his throat and eyes were grunting, the green tendons were bulging, his eyes were wide, and his vision gradually became clear, and then he saw clearly that the person standing at the back was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he knew, it was Zhang Yunqi, his daughter's classmate who met for the first time, and he realized what was going on, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.

The time was long and boundless, Chu Dapeng didn't know how long it was, until Zhang Yunqi waved his hand, the guy let go of his hand, he immediately coughed violently like a tuberculosis ghost, and asked Zhang Yunqi while struggling: "You, aren't you my daughter's classmate? What are you doing?"

Zhang Yunqi stared at him expressionlessly, and suddenly it was a slap, Chen Dapeng fell down in response, hit his head against the wall, his head buzzed, and then he heard two cold words spit out of Zhang Yunqi's mouth: "you." ”

The three wolf-like youths next to him pounced on him and hit and kicked him as if they had received an order.

In the raindrops of fists and feet, Chu Dapeng protected his head with both hands, crawled on two legs in the smelly and dirty stinky ditch, and crawled to the outside of the alley, where there is light, where there are people, and there is his way out!

But after climbing a few meters, his hair was grabbed by a person, and his whole body was lifted, and the man put his knee on his stomach, and he felt that all his internal organs were broken, and he fell limply in the stinky ditch, and then the man stepped on his neck again.

There was a muffled "bang"!

His neck seemed to be broken, he couldn't arch up for a long time, he plunged into the stinky ditch, his red and swollen lips immediately opened when he touched the water, and his tears flowed in pain, and he pleaded bitterly to Zhang Yunqi who was standing in the distance: "Yes, I'm sorry, you, you spare me, I don't dare anymore......"

Before he finished speaking, he was hit the head again, and when there was a buzzing sound, Chu Dapeng vaguely heard Zhang Yunqi finally speak: "Drag him over." ”

A guy immediately bent down and grabbed Chu Dapeng's hair, dragging him to Zhang Yunqi's feet like a dead dog, and Zhang Yunqi stomped on his neck.

Chen Dapeng raised his head with difficulty, and then saw Zhang Yunqi's eyes, and a chill came out of his bone marrow, slowly surging to his chest, and slowly, to his limbs.

His body began to shiver and cold!

Zhang Yunqi pulled a handful of money and threw it on him, and said: "First, take back this thousand yuan and return it to her mother who first saw her, saying that you won it by playing cards;

The night is like a black prison, and the stars are silent.

The sky shone with a cold rays of moonlight, like a mist mixed with a poisonous miasma, covering the body that did not know whether to live or die in the stinky ditch, and in the soil around the body, there were countless spring grasses, which slowly grew in the dark night.

I don't know how long it took for the body to stagger against the wall, pick up the old man's head that had been scattered all over the ground, and then walked out of the long, dark alley with difficulty.
