Chapter 8: I Am a Coward

With anticipation, I stepped into the black shop of Golden Tooth again.

But the other party's attitude was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in my heart again.

"Boy, I can't do your business, my brother advises you, dispel the idea of looking for your father as soon as possible, he is not an ordinary person. ”

Jin Yacheng leaned back on the Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and drank a large bowl of tea leisurely, which was diametrically opposed to the attitude when he reached out to ask for money before.

"Brother Cheng, you won't be joking with my brother, right? We let you inquire about people, and we don't let you save people, you have to do things after you eat this bowl of rice and collect the money, you can rest assured that we understand the rules and will not tell others that you said it." ”

Li Yuchen's expression also became serious, I remember that the last time I came, he was quite respectful to Jin Yacheng, and now the change is completely because he wants to help me.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, where is there so much nonsense, get out, I don't have so much spare time to talk nonsense with you!"

Jin Yacheng looked impatient, and the tea bowl pressed the table, raising his hand to drive people away.

I was angry and anxious in my heart, and I endured it for a long time, but I still couldn't control my emotions, and shouted: "I can't do it, I can find someone else, but you have to return the two thousand yuan to me." ”

"Hehe, I heard you right, right?"

Jin Yacheng's fat body jumped down from the Taishi chair suddenly, buttoned his ears, blew off the earwax on his fingers with his mouth, and sneered: "The money I received from Jin Yacheng has never been spit out, I don't tell you it's for your good, don't be ignorant, Xiao Lizi, I see that you grew up in the scum area since you were a child, and you have helped me a little, I don't blame you today, you also know my means, go by yourself, don't feel uncomfortable." ”

"So, don't you plan to tell me the whereabouts of the person, and the money can't be returned?" Li Yuchen squinted his eyes slightly, almost squeezing out this sentence from between his teeth.

Two thousand dollars is equal to half of my current savings, if I don't come back, how will I live?

But I didn't have the courage to argue with Jin Yacheng, so I could only pin my hopes on Li Yuchen.

"That's right, that's what it means. Jin Yacheng nodded slowly, and his legs were raised indifferently.

"Okay, let's go. Li Yuchen didn't hesitate at all, pulled me and turned around and left.

I was very surprised, he was obviously very backbone just now, why did he drop the chain all of a sudden?

I was a little panicked and kept asking what to do, the money couldn't be wasted.

Li Yuchen didn't reply, and walked forward on his own.

I clenched my fists, angry, and complained a little about Li Yuchen, after all, he was the one who guaranteed that Jin Yacheng would definitely be able to handle this matter well.

If I think about it, it can't be that he set up a trick with the gold tooth and deliberately cheated me out of money, right?

Li Yuchen went to a nearby gas station, bought a small barrel of gasoline, pulled me, turned around and returned to Jin Yacheng's shop.

He didn't say a word, opened the gasoline barrel and poured it on the door of Jin Yacheng's shop, and soon Jin Yacheng ran out of it with a big belly and a hurry.

"Xiao Qisan, what are you doing JB, pouring gasoline on my door, looking for death?"

Li Yuchen snorted coldly, poured all the remaining small half barrels of gasoline on himself, took out the lighter in his pocket, and lit it with a snap.

"Brother Cheng, you also know the situation in my family, poor and white, powerless, I can't fight you, this rotten life is not worth a few dollars, but Ye Fan is my brother, he believes me, so he will pay you to do things, now things are messed up is my reason, I have no face to face him, I borrowed your place today and burned myself, to prove my innocence, and your shop was burned, we can only go to the Netherworld Mansion to calculate this account in front of Lord Yama. ”

Li Yuchen held the lighter tightly, and the flames were getting bigger and bigger.

He moved his hand closer to his chest, and seeing that it was about to get on his clothes, Jin Yacheng immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lizi, such a big thing, are you going to play with me?"

I stood by and froze, really afraid that he would burn himself.

Li Yuchen smiled, turned his head to look at me, his chest didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he stood up straighter than ever before, and said sonorously: "I have no friends, he is my only brother, I have done all the bad things of abduction and deception, but I have never deceived my brother, is it worth it, why don't we try it?"

Li Yuchen approached the lighter again, and I just wanted to stretch out my hand to stop it, but Jin Yacheng pounced at once, snatched the lighter over, and said softly: "The man who grew up in the scum area is really different, come, you two come in and talk." ”

Li Yuchen turned his gaze to me and smiled at me with relief.

My heart was full of guilt, I loved the one who deceived me, and I was suspicious of my real brother, I was so stupid.

In the shop, Jin Yacheng's expression was very embarrassed, and he thought about it for a long time before taking out a paper and pen, and wrote two words on it: Lianxiang.

"I won't say anything from the side, Xiao Lizi, seeing these two words, you should understand why I can't help your brother, right?"

Li Yuchen's expression immediately became solemn, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you wrote these two words correctly?"

Jin Yacheng nodded emphatically.

"Okay, let's go, just if we haven't been here. Li Yuchen didn't ink at all, waved at me, turned his head and walked out again.

I was in a hurry on the side, I couldn't ask more questions with Jin Yacheng present, and when I came outside, I couldn't wait to say, "What's wrong with those two words?

"Lianxiang is not a person, but a place, Lianxiang will be!" Li Yuchen's face was cloudy, as if Lianxiang would be a very terrifying existence.

But no matter what the other party is, the person who was arrested is my own father, and I have to find him back, I still want to ask again, and more than a dozen big men suddenly walked over in the distance.

"Who is Ye Fan?" asked the bald man with a gold chain around his neck.

When he spoke, more than a dozen people had already surrounded me and Li Yuchen in the middle.

They all had poles and baseball bats and stuff like that, and I immediately got nervous and said weakly, "I am."

"Call me. The bald man waved his hand, and more than a dozen people rushed up, followed by a muffled bang.

But the person they beat was not me, but Li Yuchen.

Li Yuchen was beaten by these strong men and fell to the ground in an instant.

His posture of being beaten was very professional, his limbs curled up together, and his hands protected the vital parts, Rao was like this, and ordinary people couldn't carry a few sticks, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

At that time, I experienced what it means to be scared to pee.

Standing still, like a wooden stake without a brain, my legs were so heavy that I didn't dare to say a word, because I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would be beaten.

"Brother. A familiar shout suddenly came from outside the crowd, and Li Yuyi suddenly rushed in, desperate to push these big men away.

"Yo, this kid has a younger sister, and she looks really handsome. The bald man grabbed Li Yuyi's arm and pulled her into his arms.

Seeing the woman who sowed the seed of holiness in my heart struggling in the arms of the wicked, the blood in my heart surged uncontrollably, and I clenched my fists, but I could only make a faint voice, shouting: "Stop, hit me again, hit me again, and call the police." ”

It's a very bad statement, but I've never experienced this kind of scene, so what can I say?

The bald man looked at me with a sneer, didn't care about my words, his eyes were firmly locked on Li Yuyi, revealing a playful gaze.

"Do you know what this place is? This is the scum area, do you do it here, have you asked anyone here? Let go of my sister, or I promise you won't get out. Li Yuchen suddenly broke out, pushed the two people away hard, and roared with his bloody mouth.

At this time, a lot of people suddenly appeared around, holding sticks, kitchen knives, mops, and frying spoons in their hands, slowly surrounding a group of big men.

I knew these people, the vendors in the scum area and some of the nearby residents.

Seeing this, the bald man frowned, so he ordered someone to stop, and unwillingly let go of Li Yuyi.

"Boy, count you as good, teach you a lesson today, our business is over, someone asked me to bring you a message, stay away from this kid called Ye Fan in the future, you don't care about his affairs, otherwise you will see you and fight once." ”

The bald man turned his head to me again, and said with a sneer: "Boy, have a longer memory, listen to what others have said to you, be obedient, don't cause trouble, and save yourself from being beaten by others for you." ”

After the bald man finished speaking, he walked away with a group of people.

Li Yuchen was beaten indistinctly, his face was full of blood, and he couldn't stand steadily, but he was helped up by Li Yuyi.

The beating he received was all because of me.

"Yuchen, it doesn't matter to you, I, I'll take you to the hospital!" I squeezed my hands crampedly, and walked up awkwardly, trying to help him.

Li Yuyi pushed me away, and the eyes that were originally as bright as the bright moon flashed with a sad splash, and the circles under my eyes turned red.

"My brother was beaten just now, why didn't you help?

I bowed my head, speechless to explain.

"He was beaten to help you, you know?" she said, her voice growing colder.

"The person who was beaten should be you, not my brother, if you fall to the ground, my brother will be desperate to help you, Ye Fan, you are not worthy of being my brother's brother, I don't want to see you again in the future, coward!" Her slender body made a heavy voice like a mountain.

The words are like knives, piercing my heart.

"Don't say it, Yu Yi, let's go. Li Yuchen said with disgust, dragged his weak body, and disappeared into the crowd.

Coward!

These two words are the only comments Yu Yi gave me.

I squatted weakly on the ground, and the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only my humble figure.

In this battle, I lost the only man who called me a brother.

I lost a woman that made my heart flutter and I couldn't forget it.

It's all because ...... I'm a coward.
