Chapter 3 The Unbearable
After the fire in the tin shed of Yang Dong Restaurant, the glass burst in an instant at the high temperature, and the exposed window was like a huge mouth, swallowing the flames into the room.
"Fuck you, it's really JB's relief!" Xiaobo looked at the tin shed like a fireball, and turned to look at Li Chao on the side: "What's next?"
"In addition to this one named Yang Dong, where does the other person live, did you ask?"
"The taxi driver, you mean?"
"Yes!"
"After checking, that kid's taxi is second-hand, and there are six months left in the formalities, and it is affiliated with Cheng'an Taxi Company. ”
"Is there an address to his house?"
"Yes!"
"Find him!"
Li Chao's voice fell, and with a few people around him, he turned out of the farmers' market along the wall of the monitoring corner, and then drove a rented old business car and went straight to Luohan's residence.
......
S estuary district, in a small courtyard.
Lin Tianchi's drunken eyes were hazy, and he put his arm around Yang Dong's shoulder and muttered: "Dongzi, I've been thinking about the situation of our brothers in the past few days, now you open a fast food restaurant, Luohan drives a taxi, I'm even more idle this day and have nothing to do, we are only in our early twenties, and it's easy to mess people up with such an aimless mess of life!"
Luo Han smacked his lips and nodded: "That's right, although the three of us are local hukou, but one is counted as one, and there is one house in the city, and there is no ridge of land, so it is really not a long-term solution to go on like this." ”
Hearing the words of the two, Yang Dong grinned: "You two sing and harmonize, what do you mean?"
Lin Tianchi rubbed his palms: "Otherwise, let's tie the three of us together and do something!"
When Luo Han heard this, he also looked at Yang Dong with hope: "I think Tianchi's idea is good, when I was in school, we were tied together all day long, and now you have been expelled from the university, and I have also been discharged from the army, let's just continue to play together, the three of us do something together, it is better than fighting alone, and we can do something together, and we can help each other, what do you say?"
"Okay, if you two want to get down to business, I do have a project in my hands. Yang Dong pondered for a moment, and then continued: "There used to be a neighbor in our family home, and now he is the deputy director of a workshop in the shipyard, and recently the canteen of their workshop is just going to be contracted to the outside world, I calculated that if this business is done well, there will be a net profit of 150,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, which is no problem at all, but the contracting fee is more expensive, at least 200,000 yuan." ”
"It's a good job. When Lin Tianchi heard the figure of 200,000, he pursed his lips and thought about it: "As for the money, let's figure it out together, it's really not possible, I'll borrow some from relatives and friends, and then go to the bank to borrow some money." ”
Luo Han nodded: "My taxi still has half a year of formalities left, and if it is sold together with the formalities, it can be worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan." ”
Seeing that both of them had thoughts about this business, Yang Dong nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll talk to Brother Yu on the phone tomorrow, and if this thing can work, I'll cash out the fast food restaurant." ”
"Ringing ringing!"
Before Yang Dong finished speaking, the mobile phone ringtone in his pocket rang rapidly, Yang Dong connected the phone, heard the voice on the other side, instinctively breathed sluggishly, after a few simple conversations, his face became more and more gloomy, and finally gritted his teeth and hung up the phone.
After Yang Dong hung up the phone, Lin Tianchi looked at Yang Dong's expression and frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Is it that Brother Peng has an accident again?"
"No, it's about the fast food restaurant, and the call from the market management office says that there is a fire in my store. As Yang Dong spoke, he had already stood up: "I have to go over and take a look." ”
Lin Tianchi was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't your market cut off at eight o'clock every night, how can there be a fire?"
"The details are not clear, I'll go and see first. ”
"Let's go, let's go together!" Lin Tianchi's voice fell, and he beckoned everyone to go out, and at the same time turned his head to look at Zhang Ao: "You are at home to take care of the house!"
"Don't you need me to go with me to put out the fire?" Zhang Ao heard the conversation between several people and asked very enthusiastically.
"You don't follow to make trouble, and you still put out the fire, you go over to get urine?!" Lin Tianchi threw down a sentence and quickly followed behind Yang Dong.
......
Xinshui Road Farmers Market.
Yang Dong stood in front of the iron shed that had been seriously burned and deformed, smelling the heavy smell of burnt paste in the air, frowning, because Yang Dong's fast food restaurant was located in a relatively remote area, and there were no adjacent shops around, so it did not cause a major fire, and the decoration in the store was relatively simple, so after the fire truck arrived, it took less than three minutes for the fire to be almost extinguished.
After inspecting the scene, the police officer in charge of duty at the local police station looked at the crowd of onlookers: "Who is the owner of the shop?"
"Officer, I am!" Yang Dong looked at the police and raised his hand.
"Hmm. The policeman nodded: "We are looking for you to understand the basic situation, you don't have a psychological burden." ”
"Hey!"
"It's all this time, let's not toss in the office, do you have anyone from the market management office here?"
"Comrade, I'm from the Administration. A black-faced man stepped forward and answered.
"Okay, let's go to the administration. ”
The policeman's voice fell, and everyone walked towards the management office together.
......
Market Management Office, in a room.
"Young man, have you offended anyone lately?" asked the policeman in charge of taking notes for Yang Dong as if he were chatting with him.
"Offending people? No!" After Yang Dong took the cigarette, he thought for less than two seconds before denying it.
"I have been a police officer for so many years, and I have had a lot of contact with you small traders, and I also know that in places like farmers' markets, there are many fish and dragons, and there are many idle people in society, and you generally have a fear of bullying and dominating the market, but now it is a society under the rule of law, if someone bullies you, you tell me truthfully, don't have other ideas, after all, arson is not a trivial matter. The policeman looked at Yang Dong: "Just now, my colleague extracted ethanol from the ruins of your shop, which means that you were probably poured gasoline before your house caught fire." ”
"Officer, the gasoline in the house, it's my own. After listening to the policeman's words, Yang Dong's heart instantly cleared, but he quickly took the responsibility on himself.
"Your own?" Hearing this, the policeman frowned slightly: "Aren't you running a restaurant, what are you doing with gasoline?"
"Ah, that's right, where I live, it's far away from the store, so I usually commute by motorcycle, so I saved two barrels of drink bottles for fear that the car would run out of gas, but I didn't expect it to cause a fire. ”
"Are you sure the gasoline is your own?" the policeman stared into Yang Dong's eyes and asked again, as if trying to find some flaws in Yang Dong's eyes.
"I confirm. There was no trace of wave in Yang Dong's eyes, and he responded firmly.
"Well, if you say that, I won't ask any more. The policeman smiled and closed the laptop and portable printer in front of him: "If you bite to death, this is a natural fire, according to the procedure, the next will not be handled by us, you can assess the damage and declare the insurance by yourself, and the fire brigade will come back to you later to understand the situation." ”
"I'm sorry for you!" Yang Dong got up to see him off.
......
After the policeman who took the materials for Yang Dong left, the black-faced man from the management office pushed open the door and walked into Yang Dong's room.
"Brother Wang!" Seeing the black-faced man enter the door, Yang Dong nodded and said hello.
"Hey!" Brother Wang from the management office nodded slightly and sat on the chair opposite Yang Dong: "Xiao Yang, your stall caught fire today, and the impact was very bad, and the leaders of the management office meant that they didn't plan to continue to rent the booth to you." ”
"Well, I understand. ”
"There's one more thing I have to tell you. Brother Wang took a breath and said with some difficulty: "Before coming, you signed a lease agreement with the management office, and you should remember the terms of the above terms that the consequences of the vicious incident caused by the merchant itself are borne by the merchant alone, and the deposit of 10,000 yuan and the annual rent of 18,000 yuan are non-refundable." ”
"I understand. Yang Dong smiled: "I have been practicing here for a few months, you have taken care of me, I definitely can't make trouble for you." ”
"You kid, you're very kind. Brother Wang smiled, took out an envelope from his pocket, and put it on the table in front of Yang Dong: "This is two thousand yuan, you can take it." ”
Yang Dong looked at the envelope on the table and was stunned for a moment: "Brother Wang, this is?"
"Oh, it's a refund of your deposit. Brother Wang smiled: "Your deposit is 10,000 yuan, but the value of that tin shed is worth more than 8,000 yuan. ”
Seeing the envelope on the table, Yang Dongqiang squeezed out a smile: "You asked for this money for me, and you didn't suffer a lot of eyes." ”
"Huh. Brother Wang grinned and didn't say much.
Yang Dong got up, didn't count it, and directly took out about a thousand yuan in the envelope: "Brother Wang, I know that if I don't have you today, I will definitely be blind if I have this deposit left, this money is not much, you take it and buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke." ”
"What do you mean, bury me?" Brother Wang looked at the money handed over by Yang Dong, and his face turned pale: "Xiao Yang Dong, let me tell you, the reason why I helped you ask for this money is because you are a very good child, and I understand that it is not easy for you, but if I take this money, things will turn sour, do you understand?"
"It's okay if you don't take it, then I'll buy you a cigarette later, if you don't even charge cigarettes, then I don't want this money." After Yang Dong was rejected by Brother Wang, he insisted again.
"Hehe, okay, then you can buy it, but the price of a cigarette is not allowed to exceed a hundred yuan!" Brother Wang grinned and nodded in agreement.
......
Two o'clock in the morning.
After dealing with the stall fire, Yang Dong stood in front of the market, looking at the empty street, a little confused, after losing the fast food restaurant he relied on to survive, Yang Dong completely lost the capital to settle down in the city of Big L.
"Fuck your mother, this fire must have been ordered by those stupid people who are going to debt it in the afternoon, damn B, we have to find them for this matter!" Luo Han looked at Yang Dong's gloomy face, and opened his mouth with the same indignation.
"Do you know who the person who wants to pay the account in the afternoon?" Lin Tianchi asked Luo Han with a fierce look in his eyes when he heard this.
"I know, what is the name of Dadonggou Li Chao. ”
"Find him!" Lin Tianchi's voice fell, and he took out the mobile phone in his pocket.
"Forget it. Seeing the movements of the two, Yang Dong sighed and shook his head in refusal.
"Forget it?!" Luo Han roared: "Dongzi, now that he even gave you a fire in the store, can you still bear it?"
"What should I do if I can't bear it, what should I do with him?" Yang Dong clenched his fists, tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, and tried his best to keep his tone steady: "Since my brother was involved in gambling, there have been fewer incidents like being splashed with dog blood and throwing dead chickens at home? I don't care about myself, but my brother pulled me up with hard work, I can't ignore him, what has he been like in the past few years, you haven't seen it, if I don't look at him by my side, he can live until the New Year, and I will burn high incense. ”
"Is this really so enduring?" Luo Han's eyes widened like copper bells, and he asked in amazement.
"Okay, what Dongzi said is not unreasonable, we are still young, we can toss as much as we want, but Brother Peng can't afford to toss with us, if something happens to Dongzi, Brother Peng will have to play with himself in prison sooner or later." Although Lin Tianchi was angry in his heart, he still helped persuade Luohan, and then looked at Yang Dong: "This matter, what will happen next?"
"Pay back. Yang Dong said expressionlessly: "When the day dawns, I will send the money to Li Chao." ”
"What a!" Luo Han gritted his teeth and scolded after listening to Yang Dong's words.
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Tianchi stretched out his hand and pushed Luohan's shoulders and walked out: "Go to my place to sleep first, and wait until dawn if you have something to do." ”
", go to my place, your place is a, and there might be some dirty disease in bed!" Rohan sighed and beckoned the two of them to his rented place.
......
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them walked to the place where Luohan lived, where Luohan lived, was a very old community, which was full of red brick buildings in the early nineties, there were no security guards or property in the community, and the people who lived there were also three religions and nine streams, the only advantage was that the rent was low, a small two-bedroom apartment, and the monthly rent was less than 500 yuan.
"Stomp, stomp!"
After the three of them walked downstairs to Luohan's house, they were collectively stunned.
Luohan parked the taxi at the entrance of the building, the glass of the car has been smashed, the body has also been smashed into potholes, the front hood has been pried open, the engine pipe has already been filled with sand, and even the four new tires of Luohan have a fist-sized gap.
"Fuck your mother, this group of B's is endless!" Seeing the severely deformed taxi that had been smashed, Luo Han was furious, and his hands trembled with anger.
"This group of dog baskets, the means of asking for accounts are too dirty, killing people is not enough, just more than 10,000 yuan, as for this!" Lin Tianchi looked at Luohan's taxi, and also gritted his teeth and scolded.
Yang Dong stared at the scene in front of him, and after being silent for nearly a minute, he turned around: "Tianchi, you can help me inquire about the situation of that Li Chao." ”
"Dongzi, ...... you" Lin Tianchi looked at Yang Dong and frowned.
"Luohan is not at home today, they smashed the car, but what if Luohan is at home? Because of my brother's business, they tossed me, I can bear it, but they move my brother, I can't bear it!" Yang Dong looked at the devastated taxi and responded angrily.
Seeing Yang Dong's expression, Lin Tianchi and Luo Han glanced at each other, but they didn't say a word, and the time seemed to have returned to many years ago, when there was no accident at Yang Dong's house.
At that time, Yang Dong was the most famous problem student in the district, and once led hundreds of students to a bloody battle with a local gangster because of the girls in his class, and seriously injured several people.
At this moment, because of Yang Peng's excessive gambling, Yang Dong has already hidden the edge of the year, and has gradually been smoothed out by life and bent his backbone.
This night, Yang Dong, who had nothing, seemed to finally be unable to resist the teasing of fate, and decided to show his fangs and give fate a blow.
