Under the dim street lamps of Beihua City at night, a duel with completely unequal strength has just ended.

When Liu Yalong and Huang Lin were majestically "sweeping thousands of armies", Ma Xiao and Da Gangzi were admiring all this through the window, saying that they were appreciating, because Ma Xiao and Da Gangzi originally thought that eight or nine people were two people, and the result was already expected, but they didn't expect that the beer and popcorn were not ready, and the victory and defeat on the field were reversed.

Ma Xiao turned his head and glanced at Da Gangzi, the sound of spitting could be heard clearly by both of them, Da Gangzi saw through the reflection of the glass, and saw that his forehead was densely soaked in a layer of cold sweat, he wiped it with his hand, the wine was already half awake, he regretted it a little, since he had given up the past cleanly, and put such a good life now, why did he mess with Liu Yalong, what if he won? What if he loses? This is originally an entangled thing, and once you fall into it, then the current state of life may really be broken.

Ma Xiao was a little embarrassed, in order to stand up for Da Gangzi, he impulsively asked his brothers to come forward, but he didn't expect that the usually fierce brothers would be so vulnerable in front of these two people, what should I do next? Ma Xiao's mind was spinning and calculating rapidly.

"Forget it!" Da Gangzi seemed to be saying to Ma Xiao, as if talking to himself, after speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door, Ma Xiao was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly went to pull Da Gangzi, these brothers are not opponents, and the two of us will be beaten in vain when we go out, or wait......

Ma Xiao didn't hold Da Gangzi, and he couldn't tell Da Gangzi what he thought, so he could only trot out and chase him out.

A person lying on the ground, with his head carried by his hair, and his hair being carried by one hand, forming a 90-degree right angle to his body, such a posture must not be very comfortable. This can be seen from Bai Xue's expression, originally I just wanted to take my brothers to perform in front of the boss Ma Xiao and Brother Gangzi, who would have thought that when I met two demons, the momentum of the brothers had not been fully released, so they were neatly and neatly lying on the ground in two rows.

Bai Xue's hair was grabbed by the young man, and he pulled it up vigorously, until his head and body formed a vertical angle, he felt that the other party had reduced the strength of his hand, his waist and eyes were pressed hard by this person's knees, and his whole body was very close to the ground.

Bai Xue is not a professional gangster, at most he is a "street fighting enthusiast", his main task is to watch the store and sell meat, this time, he just wants to show himself, and another point, is to drink some wine, under the influence of alcohol, he misestimated his strength. Now, he admits that he did something stupid, so he is considering whether to beg for mercy and retreat, or to stiffen up and keep his full face.

Da Gangzi can't understand Bai Xue's current entanglement, nor can he understand Ma Xiao's embarrassment, if he is wrong, he will admit his mistake, this is his idea. He ran to Huang Lin, the cat bent down, and the apology on his face was not pretended, "Brother, brother, raise your noble hand, raise your noble hand." ”

Huang Lin had already aimed at Da Gangzi with the afterglow of his eyes, he didn't know this person, and he was afraid that the other party would come to help, so he had already tensed his nerves and muscles, if the other party made a move, he would be ready to fight back at any time, and it must be a full blow.

But judging from Da Gangzi's movements, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so he let go of Bai Xue and stood up straight.

When the two sides fight, and the other party is knocked down and loses the ability to resist, it is best not to let him be embarrassed in front of his companions, otherwise, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the result will be unpredictable.

Liu Yalong didn't speak, and he also guarded against the sudden attack of Da Gangzi and Ma Xiao, he looked at Da Gangzi a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Brother Long, I'm sorry. After Da Gangzi helped Bai Xue up, he stood in front of Liu Yalong and Huang Lin in a proper manner.

"Do you know me?" Liu Yalong was very strange, looking at the expression of the person in front of him, he seemed to be very familiar with himself, but why couldn't he remember who he was? ?

"Brother Long, today I won't say what the misunderstanding is, this matter has nothing to do with them, it's all my fault, if you don't feel angry, whether it's losing money, whether it's beating me out of anger, I don't have a word. These words came out of Da Gangzi's mouth, without the slightest meaning of ruthlessness, not a provocation, but a very sincere apology.

Liu Yalong and Huang Lin were confused, Huang Lin asked Liu Yalong, "Second uncle, do you know each other?"

"I can't remember who it is!" Liu Yalong was answering Huang Lin, and he was also saying to Da Gangzi.

"Brother Long, let's go into the house and talk, you will know as soon as I say it. "In the winter, a group of people didn't wear coats, they didn't feel it just now, and now they didn't say a word when they were idle, they all felt cold, and they instantly penetrated the skin and flesh, and it was cold to the bones.

Liu Yalong and Huang Lin didn't want to cause trouble, so they turned around and walked into the house, and the manager and waiter who were blocking at the door hurriedly gave way. Drinking too much alcohol and fighting is normal, as long as they don't make trouble in the store, they can fight as much as they like, and if the human head hits the dog's head, they will also look fresh.

Da Gangzi explained a few words to Ma Xiao, after Ma Xiao entered the house, he took a group of brothers to get dressed and left, Liu Yalong and Huang Lin saw that Da Gangzi moved his seat to his table, and did not stop the others.

"Come, Brother Long, it's been a long time, I'll replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you. "Da Gangzi drank a lot of wine, but when he saw that Liu Yalong and Huang Lin didn't drink, they replaced the wine with tea.

"Brother Long, no wonder you don't remember. When I was in the dry and fresh wholesale market, I thought about it for 20 years, everyone called me Da Gangzi ......", after speaking, he looked at Liu Yalong's reaction.

"Is that you? What does this mean today?" Liu Yalong suddenly remembered, however, he had no friendship with Da Gangzi, and because Wang Jiaqiang had a little hatred, Liu Yalong frowned when he remembered it, and there was a trace of hostility in his eyes.

"Brother Long, I know you don't want to see me, but tonight is indeed a misunderstanding, I talked to them about the past, they thought they had a grudge against you, and they wanted to stand up for me, I didn't stop it. "Da Gangzi is very honest and doesn't lie to cover up.

"We don't have a grudge, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding. Liu Yalong was on guard against Da Gangzi in his heart, and his words kept being cold, Huang Lin knew that the two of them knew each other in the past, and they didn't seem to be friends, so he continued to deal with the pot of chicken stewed mushrooms on the side, ignoring what the two people said.

"Brother Long, if you don't feel angry, you hit me, I won't run or fight back until you are angry. I blamed myself today. ”

Liu Yalong was very surprised by Da Gangzi's attitude, this kid used to be the most slippery one, he ran away in advance, and now he actually let everyone go, he stayed and topped the cylinder by himself, which has indeed changed a lot.

"Brother Long, you don't have to look at me like this, I have done a lot of things that are not human in the past, whether I follow Wang Jiaqiang or not, I am willing to do it, but I don't want to live like that, I want to be like a normal person, rich and not rich are secondary, the important thing is that others treat me as a normal person. "Da Gangzi drank a little more wine today, and he also sighed a little.

He originally didn't have a deep grudge against Liu Yalong, but today, Liu Yalong didn't suffer a loss, plus Cong Deyuan kept telling him that he wouldn't let him participate in the previous things, saying that the prodigal son would not change his money, give himself a chance, and give others a chance. When I heard Da Gangzi say this today, I was really impressed by him, and his attitude eased a lot.

"If you're full, let's have some more. Liu Yalong picked up a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Da Gangzi.

"Okay, some more. Da Gangzi was also very happy to see that the hostility in Liu Yalong's eyes had disappeared, took the chopsticks, and began to attack the little mushrooms in the pot. For about five minutes, there was not a word on the table, only teeth chopping mushrooms, biting chicken, and the gurgling of tea from their throats.

This round of eating is almost over, and the body has eased up, Da Gangzi saw Liu Yalong put down his chopsticks and stopped talking.

"Where have you been messing around all these years?" Now that they let down their guard against each other, Liu Yalong chatted with Da Gangzi very easily.

"What's the mix, it's been a long time since I stopped mixing, I'm all at this age. I'm doing some beef and mutton business on my own, and I'm just a partner. Da Gangzi handed Liu Yalong a cigarette, all these years, he has quit sex and gambling, but he has not quit smoking.

"Well, that's good, where to do it, in Beihua?"

"No, the year Boss Wang's accident, I went to Mongolia Province, where is my home now, this time I came to talk about business cooperation. Liu Yalong paid close attention to Da Gangzi and found that he has indeed changed a lot in terms of temperament, and now he is very stable and does not speak frizzy.

"It's good, there's a good way out, several of the people you were with Boss Wang went in, and they haven't been released yet, and I don't go to the market much now, it's not the right way after all." Liu Yalong remembered a few thugs under Wang Jiaqiang, and he was also a little emotional.

"Well, I haven't figured it out, I'm messing around, what can I get, what can I do if I'm famous, I don't eat it properly, I'm worried all day long. How good it is for a family to live comfortably. "Over the years, Da Gangzi has indeed lived and understood, I have to admit that whether it is Wang Jiaqiang's subordinates or Fu Yuanjiang's subordinates, few people have lived to understand, only this Da Gangzi, although he made the five poisons of eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and smoking, since one thing changed his mind, he is really living a down-to-earth life, especially today with Liu Yalong's section, he is even more convinced that his choice is correct.

"Da Gangzi, I have to toast you, I didn't expect you to change so much over the years, you are right, nothing is as good as a family living a down-to-earth life. "Since Liu Yalong had a child, he often reflects on his previous impulses, and today with Da Gangzi, there is really a feeling of seeing each other late and feeling sorry for each other.

"Actually, I didn't understand it at first, I still thought that I had the opportunity to go back to Beihua, to be with my original brother, but in Mongolian Province, I met a person, I dispelled all thoughts of revenge, I feel that I lived in vain in the previous days, and I will have to live well in the future. Da Gangzi said, with a trace of pain in his eyes, as if he saw himself when he first arrived in Mongolia.

When Da Gangzi arrived in Mongolian Province, it was actually not so miserable, with 30,000 yuan in his pocket, eating and living in a hotel, it was not a big problem, and he could still pick it up, but no matter how much money he had, he couldn't sit and eat empty, in less than half a year, the money in his pocket had been almost spent, Da Gangzi was usually a bachelor who didn't know how to save money, and he didn't have any savings, and he was about to eat the last meal without the next meal.

At that time, Da Gangzi belonged to the three no-young people, no technology, no brains, no ability, and it was difficult to find a decent job. Moreover, in Mongolian Province, there are no relatives, and there is no one to take refuge, in order to be able to eat a mouthful of food, Da Gangzi had to go to herdsmen to herd cattle and sheep, not to make money, just to eat a full meal. During that time, he met the "old man", what the old man's real name was, no one knows, but he knows that he has been in Mongolia for several years, like a weed, growing on the grassland all day long, except for working and drinking, no one has ever seen the old man walk out of an area full of cattle and sheep.

When Da Gangzi came, he rarely went out, and he drank with the old man at night, at the beginning, the old man was reluctant to talk to him, it was Da Gangzi himself who was saying, from a world of flowers to a place where he couldn't even find anyone to speak, Da Gangzi was about to go crazy, and it was easy to find someone who could drink some wine together, even if he didn't speak, just listening.

Over time, Da Gangzi and the old man got acquainted, the old man by listening to Da Gangzi himself, knowing that he also committed something outside, was to take refuge and hide here, so he relaxed his vigilance, after a drunk, the old man also said his own experience, these years, a lot of things and a lot of words in the heart, the old man of course is also very uncomfortable, but, he has never said his real name, Da Gangzi can only always call him the old man, the old man is from Bingcheng, in his own acre and three points, is also a loud character, just reform and opening up, the market economy is not mature, bullies like the old man bully the market, money is not less to make people and not less offended, with money, I want status, I want everyone to be afraid of themselves.

The old man used to rely on the fierce fight to get out of the position, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, the "rising star" in this circle will definitely imitate the predecessors, if the old man wants to keep his position, he has to be more ruthless than them, more crazy, the old man said, on the day of the accident, it snowed heavily, the three peers of the young man, at night, he was blocked at a small intersection near the market, the weather is cold, the night is dark, the snow storm, the alley is deep, few people pass by in this place, but the old man goes home through this path, you can save a lot of distance.

"It's snowing.

The old man stood in the heavy snow, and he was the only one in the snow, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the world.

Thousands of miles of silver, even the drifting snow seems to have changed color because of loneliness, from pure white to an empty and desolate gray-white.

The old man's people, too.

His hand gripped the hilt tightly, the pale hand, the pitch-black handle!

Isn't it the color of paleness and darkness that is close to death? Death is not the limit of emptiness and loneliness.

His drunken eyes seemed to have seen death. ”

If Mr. Gu Long were going to write about the appearance of the old man, I think he would probably write this.

But the death that the old man saw was not his own death, and the three people who intercepted him in front of him, the white snow, the slippery ground, with one enemy and three, although the number and physical strength were not superior, the old man was a veteran after all, and he was more ruthless.

The old man was wounded, and the three people holding the sticks on the opposite side were even more badly wounded, one of them had fallen in a pool of blood, motionless, gray snow, and red blood, mixed together, with the most terrifying colors in the world, and the other two had already fled with their wounds, leaving only the old man who was half-awake from his wine, and the unknown enemy who was about to be buried by the snow.

The old man probed, and the man was no longer breathing. The old man's wine woke up at once, although he was legally illiterate, but he still understood the truth of killing people to pay for his life, and if he wanted to live by himself, there was only one way now - to escape.

Fleeing, fleeing, fleeing is not as good as death, that is, life is not as good as death, the old man who was once in the limelight, really understood the meaning of life is not as good as death, and fell to the grassland for a few years, although he still followed the sheep around, but his heart was much more stable, he did not contact people, even if he was in contact, he never told others about his past and said his name, he liked to drink, maybe to anesthetize himself, maybe except for drinking, he really had nothing to do.

The old man and Da Gangzi are not friends, but more like two patients suffering from mental illness, the hidden sins and remorse in their hearts are like stones in the back basket, and the people who are struggling to walk breathlessly can breathe, and after talking about their own affairs, they seem to have poured out the stones in the back basket, and they are relaxed. At such times, they talk to each other, hoping to get comfort from each other.

After the old man and Da Gangzi finished talking about their former scenery, the escape, and the despair, they let go and cried, and the tears that had been accumulated in their hearts over the years broke out at that moment, and the old man's cry like a wolf howled woke up the sleeping sheep, and the sheep made a "Miya, Miya" sound mixed with the old man's cry, which sounded particularly mad in the night of the grassland.

The old man's crying is extremely miserable, but for Da Gangzi, it seems to be the Sanskrit sound of the heavenly realm, which suddenly makes Da Gangzi empowered, yes, what's the use of fighting back and forth, just like the old man, he lost his reputation and died, and he won the end of the world, as long as he walks on this road, how can there be a real winner, it is better to be down-to-earth, to be an ordinary person, maybe occasionally bullied, but there will always be stability and happiness.

After drinking this meal, Da Gangzi suddenly realized that he decided to be a person who did his duty, didn't want to find Li Zhao, didn't want to go back to Beihua, just lived a good life here, and supported himself by his own labor.

After drinking this meal, the old man was still silent, still unwilling to speak, the next day, the shepherd dog drove the sheep back, but did not see the shadow of the old man, when the next day Da Gangzi rode a horse to find the old man, the old man has dedicated his life to Changshengtian, on the grassland, the old man seems very small, a piece of grass, a breeze, has completely submerged the old man's life, in the eyes of Da Gangzi, the old man is like a mountain, he is the messenger of Changshengtian to save his soul, complete the mission, he returned to the place where he came。

Da Gangzi didn't cry because he lost a partner, he felt that he might be buried in the grass silently one day, but before that, he had to live well, live uprightly, for his future self, for the old man he once was.

After that, Da Gangzi met his boss and slowly had his own business, until in the end, Zhidao's murder was not involved with him at all, and the Public Security Bureau never received a report of lost cash from a factory. For these, Da Gangzi did not feel worthless for his hard work over the years, compared to the old man, he was very lucky.

Liu Yalong listened to Da Gangzi tell his story with a big tongue, and he also realized everything, yes, think about his past, he just wanted to be brave for a while, and he didn't have the slightest sense of responsibility for his parents, relatives, and friends. Indeed, whether you win or lose, if you go down that road, there will be no real winners.

Liu Yalong looked at Da Gangzi at the moment, and he had never felt so pleasing to the eye, "Dude, you have indeed suffered a lot, live a good life in the future, we can become buddies." ”

"Haha, Brother Long, it's all the same. I hope we are all safe and secure in the future. Da Gangzi's bloodshot eyes are not hideous at all, more like a little white rabbit waiting for a carrot.

At the bottom of the pot, the people were scattered, the three of them ate and chatted again, and after eating until the middle of the night, Liu Yalong's impression of Da Gangzi completely changed, and the last two people were like friends who had been friends for many years, and they were inseparable. Huang Lin saw that Da Gangzi's driver helped him onto an Audi A6, which was a license plate from Mongolia Province.
