Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen left the tea house, ready to find a place to eat, when Li Jiajie suddenly heard a shout of "selling jade Jiao", Li Jiajie looked for the sound and walked over, and sure enough, he saw the little girl he met at Ma Pole in the afternoon, but he didn't follow his younger brother around.

Li Jiajie lowered his head and asked the little girl: "Sister, didn't your mother say that she wouldn't let you come here to sell jade coke?"

The little girl also recognized Li Jiajie, and said with a little shyness: "It's Dagang?...... Brother Ne didn't follow, Ne Niang didn't know, sell here quickly, what's the matter. ”

Li Jiajie smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl replied, "It's called Yufang, He Yufang, and Dagang is called Ne Fangfang." ”

Li Jiajie listened and asked, "How much jade coke do you have?"

Fang Fang unloaded the plastic bucket, estimated it and said, "There are still eight or nine more." ”

Li Jiajie listened, and then said: "Okay, you put it on the post, go home early, and save your mother." As he spoke, he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Fangfang.

When Fangfang heard this, she hurriedly found two corns that looked full, peeled the leaves, divided them into two clinker bags, and put the remaining corn in a bag, handed it to Li Jiajie and said: "Dagang, there are nine in total, I will find you three pieces, and send one to Dagang." ”

Li Jiajie listened, thinking that the little girl was very good at business, and then said: "Okay, don't look for it, on the account, when the gang sees you one day, just buy it and eat." Without waiting for Fang Fang to reply, he handed Liu Yichen a piece of corn and left.

Fangfang, who was looking for change, listened, bowed to Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen, who were leaving, and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Dagang!"

Liu Yichen ate corn and asked Li Jiajie: "Jiajie, when did you meet a little sister again?

Li Jiajie glanced at Liu Yichen and said: "You are really fucking out of tune, you make any jokes, and the little girl is very ......." Then he told Liu Yichen how he met the little girl when he slept in the afternoon, and the little girl's family situation.

Liu Yichen listened to it and said: "It's pitiful enough, why don't you feel like an oilman, but like a bodhisattva? You said that there are still two poor masters in the world? Why can't a good person take care of the two of us?"

Li Jiajie couldn't help but think of the bumpy years when the two were young, and the two often mentioned that the happiest years may be the days in the juvenile detention center, without worrying about food and clothing, and in the summer, everything is fine except for the loss of freedom.

The two of them eat corn and are not hungry, can't help but slip to the four archways, the four arches are located in the center of Yanzhou, it is said that they are composed of four connected arches and get their name, the four arches were built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, when the general Xu Da was ordered to build Yanzhou City, for the strong army, praise merit, built four archways in the center of the city, the structure of the four arches is exquisite and ingenious, majestic and magnificent. It is a pity that in 1952, due to obstruction of traffic, the fourth archway was demolished, which is a pity. (The fourth archway was restored in 2012)

Liu Yichen asked Li Jiajie if he wanted to go to the "Green Apple Roller Skating Rink" to take a look, Li Jiajie had some concerns in his heart, and he didn't deal with Li Zhibing of Landeng Tower, for fear of being seen and causing unnecessary trouble, Liu Yichen listened, pouted and said: "It's a squinted egg in Lan Denglou, what can you do if you see it?"

Li Jiajie is not afraid of the lantern building, today happened to pass by, by the way you can go in to learn about the situation of this roller skating rink, so looking for the "dong da dong" irritable music, very simple to find the roller skating rink, the two of them just arrived at the roller skating rink not far away, was stopped by someone with a stick, a girl's voice, the mouth also chanted words: "Stop, this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, to hit this passing, leave to buy road money." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and snatched the corn bag that Li Jiajie was carrying, and then shook his arm and walked away unhurriedly.

Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen looked at it as a little girl, and they were not angry, the two of them walked around and followed, and after a while, they arrived in a secluded place, and there were still a few children of different sizes waiting there, the slightly cool day, and the cold did not feel cold, and they all looked at Li Jiajie energetically, and shouted with joy on their faces, "Jiajiegang!"

The little girl gave everyone the corn she had just snatched from Li Jiajie, and it was very coincidental, no more and no less for each person.

At this time, a half-sized boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, unkempt, holding a stick in his hand, and a large canvas bag in his armpit, stood in front of him, and jokingly said to Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen: "Jiajiegang, what are you doing here? ”

Li Jiajie smiled and didn't answer, but just asked, "Dawa, you took the little brothers out to eat alone, leaving Mao Yan'er alone in the nest?"

The little girl who blocked the road just now took over the conversation and said: "Mao Yan'er is the laziest, and it's not that the negators don't take him out, he wants to sleep a lot." ”

Liu Yichen walked up to the little girl, bent down and said to the little girl: "You said that you are everyone's second sister, and you chew the root of your tongue, and you don't look like a little parent at all, didn't Gang tell you?

The little girl ate corn, shook her head, avoided Liu Yichen's rubbing of her hair, and said angrily: "Sleep in a mouse hole, how can you dress up?

Li Jiajie asked Dawa with a smile: "What is the situation with you?"

Dawa said: "When I went back in the afternoon, Mao Yan'er learned from us what you told, so they came over to see what news they could find." ”

Li Jiajie was a little moved in his heart, these children were very young, but they were very righteous, and asked, "Do you have any eyebrows?"

Dawa continued: "The boss didn't inquire, but when we came, Lao Wu's car had been parked at the door, and he had just left for less than half an hour. ”

Li Jiajie asked, "Which old five?"

Dawa said: "Which one else, the one in Liao Zhihong's office." ”

Li Jiajie listened, his head was a little big, Liao Zhihong was the first (boss) of Yanzhou, the fifth old man's full name was Han Lei, the fifth in the family, and he was the next person in charge under Liao Zhihong, and those individuals were considered to be people with status, but they never came to the roller skating rink to play, this old five stayed in the roller skating rink for an afternoon, isn't the roller skating rink opened by the old five? If that's the case, he is equivalent to receiving a hot yam, it's not easy to get it, he and Liu Yichen are just gangsters at best, and there is no comparison with a social person who follows the right people.

Li Jiajie nodded, and said to the eldest baby: "Well, you help the gang continue to inquire, by the way, there is a favor for the help, Yanzhou came to help the Northeast people, you pay attention, you found a message, you also stay away from them, those personal ruthless characters, it is not easy to deal with, remember to help the gang pay more attention." ”

Dawa nodded after hearing this, patted her chest and said, "Jiajiegang don't worry, your business is your business, it's just ......." As she spoke, the big baby showed a sly smile.

Li Jiajie patted the big baby's head and said, "What do you want to do with this ghostly look?"

Dawa continued: "I remember that Jia Jiegang said that he would take them to eat eight big bowls!"

When Li Jiajie heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, big baby, with the ability of Gang, it may be a little difficult to eat eight big bowls." ”

The eldest baby couldn't help but feel a little lost when she heard this, and was about to take the next step, Li Jiajie said again: "However, the peach blossoms will bloom in a few days, so I can take you to a picnic first." ”

The eldest baby heard the ridicule in Li Jiajie's mouth, and those babies also surrounded at once, shouting and applauding, this one wants to say go to Wenying Lake, and that one wants to say go to Longquangou, Li Jiajie smiled and told everyone that they would go after they were busy in the past few days.

After the gourd babies finished eating the corn, they were squeaked and dispersed by the big baby, and rushed to the fourth street and eight alleys to inform those who begged for food, and inquired about the news, Li Jiajie asked the big baby again: "Ma Qiye's old man is in good health?"

Dawa listened, shook her head and said: "As soon as Ma Ye changed seasons, he had severe rheumatism, and during this time, he went to Yunshan County with the old Tao of Chunyang Palace, and said that he was looking for a Taoist to treat rheumatism." ”

Li Jiajie heard an "oh" and asked, "Did the old man say when he would come back?"

The eldest baby replied: "That's not accurate, Ma Ye's temperament, no one can touch it, maybe he will leave for more than half a year." ”

Li Jiajie listened, nodded, explained a few words to the eldest baby, pay attention to safety and other advice, and left another five yuan, and asked the eldest baby to buy water for a while to buy water for other babies who came back from errands and messengers, and Liu Yichen returned to Beicheng, the base of the railway station.

Li Jiajie is very entangled in his heart, if the owner of the roller skating rink is really the fifth of Liao Zhihong's subordinates, then it will be very difficult for him to do the horse pole, and a week later, he may not be able to complete the transaction of the horse pole, and he will lose his credibility on the road, which is very embarrassing.

slept in the bathhouse for two days in a row, and slept on cardboard, Liu Yichen couldn't stop sighing, looking like his ambition was unpaid, he couldn't sleep and was very uncomfortable, Li Jiajie said to Liu Yichen: "No, does the young master want to sleep in bed again?"

Liu Yichen listened, sat up directly, and said to Li Jiajie: "Jiajie, we can sleep in the bathhouse every day, why do we have to climb the hole?"

Li Jiajie said: "Hey, hey~ I'm still panting, I don't know who was envious a few years ago, even begging for food had dog holes to climb, and sleeping with the Plum Blossom Gang?"

Li Jiajie took out a cigarette from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit one for Liu Yichen, took a puff and said: "I also said yes! When we first came to Beicheng, we were so bitter, how did you come here?"

Liu Yichen listened, stopped talking, took a deep puff of cigarette, and slowly spit out the smoke that was inhaled into his lungs, Li Jiajie looked through the smoke screen spit out by Liu Yichen, looked at the street lamp shining on the beige wellhead, and couldn't help sighing, a scene of two years was like a player, playing ...... on the smoke screen.
