Previously, out of selfishness, Li Dazhuang never told Xiao Yun and others about the source of his purchase.

This time, Li Dazhuang saw that Xiao Yun looked sincere and seemed to be very eager, and touched the back of his head: "That's okay." Tomorrow, I'll take you to see Brother Leopard. He's a man who eats both north and south. ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Dazhuang took out two bottles of beer from the cabinet, and then brought a plate of peanuts from the kitchen, and while eating with Xiao Yun, he told Xiao Yun the origin of this leopard brother.

When Li Dazhuang had just dropped out of school, he didn't know anything about society as a whole. But he had to support himself, so he also did some petty theft.

Once, he was stealing a girl's purse on the bus, but his hand was suddenly grabbed.

This person is Brother Leopard.

At that time, Li Dazhuang was so frightened that his hands were trembling. But Brother Leopard did not expose him on the spot, but instead stuffed half of Li Dazhuang's wallet back into the girl's bag.

After Li Dazhuang sat in horror for one stop, when he was about to get off at the next stop, Brother Leopard got off with him.

Brother Leopard didn't have any physical contact with Li Dazhuang, so he followed him not far or close.

Li Dazhuang was very young at the time, and he had countless thoughts in his mind. If he had escaped, would the man have found him? If you find him, will you kill him silently?

Or maybe this man is some kind of trafficker who wants to sell him to work as a miner in a small coal kiln.

Anyway, when Li Dazhuang was walking on the street for a while, all the strange ideas went through his mind.

Later, Li Dazhuang's psychological defense line had completely collapsed. He turned around and knelt down in front of Brother Leopard: "You spare me." I'm not going to do that again, I'm just trying to make ends meet. ”

Brother Leopard faced Li Dazhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was a little surprised.

"What are you doing? I'm just going to follow you, not on purpose. You're weird little guy. ”

For the first time, Li Dazhuang saw someone smiling at him. That's Brother Leopard's smile.

Brother Leopard has a fierce face. But when he laughs, his eyes are crooked, like a big brother who loves his younger brother very much.

Since then, Li Dazhuang has followed Brother Leopard.

Through slow contact and understanding, Li Dazhuang learned that Brother Leopard began to do petty theft when he was younger than Li Dazhuang.

He only went to primary school, and he didn't finish it because his family was so poor. So he left his house and wandered about.

Brother Leopard's connections were accumulated at that time.

When Brother Leopard was with Li Dazhuang, he would put up a dragon gate formation for him from time to time and talk about his experience of going south and north.

At that time, Li Dazhuang admired Brother Leopard so much.

Brother Leopard said to Li Dazhuang that when he saw Li Dazhuang stealing the girl's wallet on the bus that day, he felt as if he saw himself again when he was a child.

Then Brother Leopard said to Li Dazhuang earnestly that doing this kind of petty theft will not make a big difference in his life, so he will stop Li Dazhuang.

Of course, Brother Leopard is not a good person in the traditional sense. Therefore, he didn't want to educate Li Dazhuang, but he just happened to be on the way with Li Dazhuang, but he didn't expect to accept Li Dazhuang's kneeling salute like this. The two had to get acquainted.

That night, Li Dazhuang talked to Xiao Yun for the first time. And it's all confidant.

Li Dazhuang said to Xiao Yun: "My parents completely treat me as a cash cow. Every time I came home, they just asked me for money, and then when they got it, they went to play cards. When you run out of money, you keep calling me and asking me for money. My home can't be called home, because I don't feel a little bit of warmth. It was only after getting to know you that I felt that I was not alone, and I was no longer so lonely. ”

Xiao Yun saw that something shiny in Li Dazhuang's eyes flashed in the past.

"Didn't Brother Leopard give you a warm feeling?"

"That's different. Brother Leopard is more like one of my leaders, and I am just a little brother under him. Someone like me, he's surrounded by many, many people. The only one who can truly treat me as a brother is you. That day, you bought me a roasted sweet potato, and I still think it's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted. ”

Li Dazhuang's voice began to choke, and Xiao Yun did not speak again.

That night, they lay on Li Dazhuang's cramped single bed, feeling that this autumn was no longer so cold.

When Xiao Yun actually saw the legendary Brother Leopard, Xiao Yun didn't have a chance to see Brother Leopard smiling.

The place where they met seemed to be an abandoned factory. At that time, Brother Leopard was sitting on top of a shipping container, surrounded by a lot of younger brothers.

After Li Dazhuang explained Xiao Yun's situation to Brother Leopard very flatteringly, Brother Leopard showed a look of disdain.

"I'm still a college student. I've never had such a highly educated person here. I didn't expect that college students would ask me one day, but the sun came out in the west. ”

After he said this, the little brothers behind him all made mocking sounds.

Xiao Yun's first impression of this leopard brother was not good. But after all, there is a request for help, so he can only say to Brother Leopard in a low voice: "I want to apply for a border defense permit, please help, is it okay?"

The border permit, as the name suggests, is a certificate that needs to be issued to go to the national border area.

The deep-sea city that Xiao Yun is going to is a special economic zone. In those days, if you wanted to enter the special economic zone, the border guard card can be said to be a necessary stepping stone. At the same time, after going there, you have to apply for a temporary residence permit. The process is complex and time-consuming.

Of course, Xiao Yun also hopes that through Brother Leopard, he can find a place in Shenhai City as soon as possible that is cheap and not so acceptable to live in.

In short, it was very difficult to take root and settle in Shenhai City in that year, and there was no one to lead the way or no one to shelter.

The reason why Xiao Yun wanted to find someone to go to Shenhai City with him before was because there were too many outsiders who went to Shenhai City that year. If you don't have someone to keep you company, it's very common to get stolen and robbed.

Brother Leopard spit out the toothpick in his mouth, then squinted at Xiao Yun and said, "Are you going alone?"

Xiao Yun looked directly into Brother Leopard's eyes: "That's right, I'm the only one." ”

Brother Leopard jumped down from the container, and then circled around Xiao Yun twice: "Okay." Give me 2,000 yuan, and everything will be given to you in a one-stop bag. Guaranteed that you will have a place to live when you go to Deep Sea City. ”

Xiao Yun was now under the roof and had to bow his head, so he had to squeeze out a smile: "Can it be cheaper?" Or when I get there and find a job, I will pay you back, okay?"

Brother Leopard suddenly laughed: "Did you all hear it? This is a college student's begging for me. This kid is poor, and he probably doesn't even wear pants.

What are you? Tell you, no matter how high your diploma is, here in my Wang Leopard, you are nothing. I don't have any friendship with you. We are not related by blood, so why should I help you for no reason? Do you really think that you are a college student and that is great?"

When Brother Leopard said this, he put his head close to Xiao Yun's head, and stared at Xiao Yun's eyes with eyes like eagle falcons.

"And one of the things I hate most about others is that I look at me. What kind of thing are you? How dare you look at me like that? Either you take 2,000 bucks or get out of here as soon as possible. I don't want to see your stinky face!"
