63. Li Fei's day (middle)
A group of people squatted in the small courtyard, standing for a while when they were tired, and squatting for a while when they were tired, but no one said that they wanted to leave, because they all knew that they had big things to do today.
The big thing of the gangsters is nothing more than slashing people, fighting, smashing the field, and hand protection fees, but cutting people or something, it is estimated that few of these green skins present really dare to do it, at most they are just coaxing and fighting in groups, but this is already a big thing, at least in Li Fei's opinion, fighting in groups is definitely a thing that will make him feel honored.
And what they want to do today is something more glorious than fighting in a group in Li Fei's eyes - they are going to the Second Workers' Cultural Palace and grab land with the gangsters over there!
Yes, grabbing land, Beitong City is divided into many blocks by these gangsters, large and small, which piece belongs to whom, who can collect protection fees in their own territory. Of course, protection money or something, today's gangsters don't dare to collect it. After all, after several crackdowns, the really awesome gangsters were either killed or put in prison. The ones that can still hang around on the street today are all the fish that slipped through the net back then, and they are still very small.
This batch of small fish and shrimp of the year are now gradually growing up, but after all, they are still incomparable with those real deep-sea fish back then, at least in today's Beitong City, there are few people who really dare to collect protection fees. For example, when Zhou Fangyuan set up a stall before, he charged him protection money, it was just an example, those gangsters dared to bully and bully the people who set up the stalls, and they didn't dare to harass the merchants on the street, not to mention those large-scale enterprises.
Therefore, for the current gangsters, the so-called territory is actually more of a sense of territory, and the fundamental reason is the problem of face. Even if you can't collect much protection money at all, as long as the territory is big enough, you can talk about it, and you will be domineering when you walk on the street, and the younger brother will gradually increase.
In short, on the road of gangsters, turf is something that no one can refuse, and grabbing land has become the daily life of these gangsters.
That's how the gangsters came over in the past, and today's gangsters will naturally instinctively imitate the "road to success" of their predecessors.
I squatted and stood in the courtyard for a while, and waited until ten o'clock in the morning, when the door of the only building in the courtyard, the tattered bungalow, opened, and then a bald man came out of it.
"Big brother!"
"Brother!"
The thugs in the courtyard got up to say hello.
Li Fei is also one of them, and he is the first time he has met the legendary boss. Almost more than 1.7 meters tall, very fat, still wearing a black leather coat in summer, his head is bare, and there are layers of fat on the back of his neck. Around his neck hangs a finger-thick gold chain that shines cheesily in the sun.
Li Fei looked at the bald guy, he felt that this was what a real man should look like, and this is what a man should be.
The bald guy looked at his little brother expressionlessly, pouted and nodded.
"Who's that?"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pointed at Li Fei.
Li Fei immediately felt a little frightened, and he couldn't speak all of a sudden, just standing there in a daze.
Brother Zhang, who was beside him, reacted quickly and immediately bent down and walked in front of the bald man.
"Boss, that kid grew up on the same street as me, his name is Li Fei. Didn't I tell you the other day that I have a playmate who wants to hang out with you, you see......"
"How old are you? ”
The bald man frowned, he was also an ideal gangster, and he also wanted to be the same as his predecessors, so he hoped that his subordinates would be some characters who could fight and rush, not this kind of little doll with no hair.
"Sixteen years old this year, boss, don't look at his young age, but this kid is bold, he just came out of school two days ago, and he is not going to go back in the future. You just leave him, this kid doesn't like to study since he was a child, and he is definitely a good seedling. ”
Brother Zhang said.
What he said is really right, in the hearts of the locals in Beitong, people who don't like to learn since childhood are good seedlings to be gangsters. And most of the children here who don't like to study since childhood have embarked on the road of being gangsters or have been gangsters. People like Zhou Fangyuan, who don't like to study and keep to themselves, are really a minority.
The bald guy listened to Brother Zhang's words, but his eyes kept looking at Li Fei, and after looking at him for a while, he nodded and agreed.
And in this whole process, Li Fei's mind was chaotic, especially being stared at by the eldest brother's eldest brother, which gave him the feeling that he was like an official meeting the emperor, and at that moment he really had the urge to kneel down for the other party, as if only in this way could he express his respect.
After Brother Zhang came back and told him the news that the bald guy had agreed to join him, Li Fei was even more overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to cheer on the spot. However, considering that doing so just after joining the gang might cause the boss's dissatisfaction, he forced this excitement down.
In the distance, the bald guy began to arrange the work, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is who is responsible for shouting and deterring at that time, if there is really a fight, who is responsible for charging, who is responsible for protecting himself and so on. And the whole process is to nod heads, whoever has more people will rush to the front, and whoever can fight will protect himself, anyway, there is no strategy at all, just a group of street gangsters.
But his performance fell in Li Fei's eyes, but it became a scolding of Fang Xuan and pointing at the country, of course, Li Fei couldn't say these two idioms, he just felt that the boss looked very handsome now, and he hoped to become such a person.
In the end, Brother Zhang and Li Fei were assigned to the group with a strong face, and unlike Brother Zhang's bitter face, Li Fei was very excited.
He felt that his opportunity had come, and he was assigned such an important job as soon as he joined the gang, if he could perform better, would he become a celebrity in the eyes of the boss? Just like in the movie, he also became a small boss who managed a certain street?
Thinking like this, Li Fei only felt that he was full of strength all over his body, and he couldn't wait to rush into the street now and cut down all the people who dared to grab land with them.
After the task was assigned, everyone began to pack up the guys.
When it was Li Fei's turn, he noticed that the guys everyone was holding were all wooden sticks?
"Where's the knife?"
Li Fei's eyes widened, how could he cut people without a knife? Could it be that he used a wooden stick to cut people?
The little boss in charge of distributing the tools looked at him like a fool, "You have the right to speak here? ”
The other party didn't talk nonsense with him at all, and slapped him in the face.
And Li Fei, sure enough, obediently ran to the side, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Brother Zhang walked over and patted Li Fei's shoulder gently, "Xiaofei, don't be upset, everyone is a little nervous today, so they are a little heavy when they speak." In fact, today is not as serious as you think, everyone used to talk about it first, and only started when they couldn't get along. It's like what was shown on TV, we are gangs, not robbers, how can anyone use knives when they come up? And you have just joined the gang, and you are indeed not qualified to take knives, and when you have made meritorious contributions and been promoted to official positions in the future, old nature will give you knives, so why are you in a hurry?"
On the surface, it is comforting, but in fact, Brother Zhang himself said it in his heart. This small neighborhood of oneself will not be a begging stunned (the meaning of Beitong's local 'fool'), what age is this, and how many people dare to use knives easily? It is not difficult to move knives, but what should I do if I can't stand the strength to hack people to death when the time comes? How powerful the police are now, it really should be more than ten years ago, at that time, Beitong was a three-regardless zone, not to mention knives when it was the most chaotic, and there were guns. But now, those who dare to play with guns eat peanuts, and those who play with knives have to be locked up for years, so sticks are the safest. As long as you don't stick to the critical places, basically nothing will happen.
But...... This thing won't really shine on people's heads at that time, no, I'll have to teach him later.
Brother Zhang thought so in his heart.
didn't know that Li Fei's mind was full of scenes after his meritorious service at this time.
He began to fantasize that when he became the boss in the future, he would have to wear a black leather coat, and he would have to push his head bare, and he would have to wear gold chains, and he would have to get a large group of men, and when the time came, who would dare to stop him when he went out on the street? Who else would dare to say that he was not?
After the task was given and the tools were distributed, some of the minor leaders began to gather their younger brothers, while the others dispersed and waited until five o'clock in the afternoon to meet here.
There was nothing to do all of a sudden, so Brother Zhang simply took Li Fei to find an Internet café on the street.
"I just studied a routine the other day, and I'm here to teach you. ”
Brother Zhang is talking about a game he plays, as a real idle person in society, they have a lot of free time in their daily life, and these times are used to play computers in addition to sleeping and squatting on the road.
In this era, the main group of people who go to Internet cafes in Beitong are also these street gangsters, and it can be said that their existence has promoted the development of the entire Internet café industry in Beitong City. Li Fei also likes to play with computers, so as soon as Brother Zhang said this, he immediately agreed.
Then the two of them found a black Internet café, drove two machines at random, and sat there to play.
Because they are gangsters, the owner of the Internet café does not dare to ask them for money, so he can only let them play in vain.
The two of them forgot the time when they played, and they ate lunch at the Internet café, and one of them ate a loaf of bread and drank a bottle of mineral water, which was also on credit, and don't expect them to give money.
played until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the two walked out of the Internet café unsatisfied.
"Computers are so fun. ”
Li Fei rubbed his somewhat sour eyes and said very happily.
"Hehe, there's something more fun at night, let's go, let's go gather first, and when we're done, my brother will take you to have a good time." ”
Brother Zhang said and hugged Li Fei's shoulder, Li Fei nodded vigorously, his eyes were full of longing. I don't know if it's a big event for a while, or a "more fun thing" at night.
