On the afternoon of March 21, 1977. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hong Yanwu, who returned to this era in 2012, after seeing his father and sister, after coming out of the house, he did not go directly to the bathhouse, but ran north after passing through the street building, and couldn't wait to rush to the coal factory on Nanheng Street.

Undoubtedly, what he wants now is to find Chen Liquan first as soon as possible, and he must also confirm that his hair is young, his good buddy, and his senior brother Quanzi are still alive and well in this world, so that he can do other things with peace of mind.

Besides, judging by the time, Izumi should also be about to get off work, and if they can meet, then of course it is best for the two of them to go to the shower together.

This is the most familiar route in Hong Yanwu's memory, because the fork in the Guancaiyuan Hutong is the place where he and Chen Liquan have walked together more than a thousand times.

This fork is actually a very important geographical point, from here to the west is the Nanhengjie Coal Factory, from here to the north is the small courtyard where Yu Ye lived before his death, and from here to the east of the Panjia Hutong, is the starting point for him and Chen Liquan to enter the "rivers and lakes" and become professional "players".

It was there, in a narrow alley separated from the Taoranting Police Station in Jiajia Hutong, that he and Chen Liquan worked together to complete the feat of "washing the Buddha" for the first time. (See Volume 1, Chapter 9: Being a Rich Man)

Hong Yanwu still remembers that since the death of Yuye, Yuye's small courtyard was taken back by the state, and Chen Liquan had to move back home. So when the two of them met again, they naturally got back together.

And at that time, he was extremely short of money because of his relationship with Fang Ting, and he had already learned a lot of ways to make money from Gao Ming and Gao Fang's mouths.

Unexpectedly, as a veteran of beating, he was really serious that time, but because he was unfamiliar with the knife, he showed big eyes.

Things were done very unfavorably, thanks to the presence of Chen Liquan, so he didn't suffer a bigger loss.

In fact, the Gao Ming sent him to the small broken knife, he may have used it once in his life, but only that time he was involved in his clothes when he pulled out the knife, and he couldn't pull it out alive or dead, and it was really not a taste to think about.

Interestingly, at the beginning, Gao Ming and Gao Fang learned that he and Chen Liquan had another mess and officially became the "players" of "Collecting Buddha", I don't know if it was because they were reluctant to lose him as a high-quality thug, or because they were dissatisfied and jealous of the fact that they wanted to do it alone, anyway, their reaction to this matter was somewhat sour.

These two boys also made some small moves behind their backs, not only finding excuses to let him move out of the "Third Institute of the General Staff Department," but also quietly making a statement outside, openly stating that the "Yuan faction" of the "Third Institute of the General Staff Department" would part ways with him in the future, and that they were not responsible for all his actions, and seemed to be very optimistic about the prospects of him and Chen Liquan's small gang.

This naturally also had some impact on Fang Ting, she is even more accustomed to judging people by her appearance, and she doesn't look down on Chen Liquan very much, she always feels that Quanzi is rustic and stupid, like a fool who has not seen it.

In particular, she was worried that losing this relationship with Gao Ming and Gao Fang would be detrimental to her own future, so she threatened him with a breakup several times, asking him to give up his unrealistic ideas and return to the camp of the "Third General Staff Institute".

But they did lose their eyes, and slowly, they realized how capable he was with Chen Liquan.

As long as there is a fight, no matter whether the opponent is a cunning and long-famous "old gun", or a new generation of hooligans who are numerous and powerful, there is no time when the two of them have not won an overwhelming victory and played a majestic game.

He and Izumiko cooperate very tacitly, neither of them is afraid of bloodshed and injury, and each of them has excellent wrestling skills. Over time, they also formed a unique style of arming that is similar to their signature, that is, they do not use armed belts, knives, or "pipe inserts" when fighting, and use special rolling pins.

Every time before the "ballast", they carry the guy in their sleeves, and as soon as they move, they will "swish" and pull it out, so as to ensure that the opponent with a knife and a spring lock will be smashed all over his head and bleeding.

Because of this, people outside mention the names of "Red Boy" and "Chen Dabang Mallet" again, not to mention the entire XW District, that is, Chongwen, Fengtai, Haidian, Xicheng, these surrounding areas, which girl does not scare them!

So at this point, let alone Fang Ting, even Gao Ming and Gao Fang, two boys with eyes and beads, have to start talking about them again.

Naturally, there are more people who ask him for help and obey him, and Quanzi doesn't fight with him for anything, whether it is in money or the opportunity to show off his power and "pull out his share", these make him feel satisfied.

At that time, he didn't need anything else, he occupied two bus lines, and there was a fixed "Buddha" under his hand to pay him at a fixed point. Even those "old guns" with heads and faces have to give face when they see him, otherwise they themselves don't want to have a little more face.

And once he helped others, he didn't want to stuff money, but he had to go for treats, and together with Quanzi, he ate almost all the good restaurants in the capital, and he also successfully taught Quanzi to smoke and drink.

In the end, if nothing happened, the roast duck of "Judequan" would be eaten. Gao Ming and Gao Fang were two bastards, and they bragged about letting them drink Moutai, but they didn't expect the wine to be drunk, and he and Quanzi were all planted in it......

Hong Yanwu finally walked to the confines of Nanheng West Street, and thought that he should buy something to celebrate the meeting of the two people, so he stopped at the grocery store he passed by and bought two boxes of cigarettes.

According to his original intention, he wanted to buy "peony", which was Chen Liquan's favorite brand.

But it's a pity that this kind of brand-name cigarettes belonged to Grade A cigarettes, although he had money and cigarette stamps, but they were not easy to see on the market, so he had to make do with two boxes of "Big Front Door".

"Da Qianmen" and "Evergrande" and "Da Chongjiu" are both Class B cigarettes, priced at three cents and nine, and a Class B cigarette ticket is required, which is already a good famous cigarette in the era when the public generally smoked nine cents of "handshake" and "fight", and one dime and five "goldfish".

Although there has always been goods in the store, few people buy them, so Hong Yanwu's "over-buying" of two boxes attracted the salesman to stare at him for a long time, as if he felt that he shouldn't buy such a good cigarette based on his dress, and it seemed that he still wanted to ask carefully, but then he still didn't ask, probably feeling a little embarrassed.

But to be honest, Hong Yanwu was even more awkward in his heart, originally he wanted to buy some other things, like canned food, powder sausages, two pot noodles or something, he could go to the bathhouse with Chen Liquan to take a sip after running in the bathhouse, but the salesman discriminated against people based on his appearance, so that he didn't dare to take out more banknotes to buy things in the end, so he had to leave quickly with little interest, so as not to be interrogated for no reason.

But then again, no matter how many things he bought, I am afraid that when he sees Chen Liquan, he will inevitably be embarrassed, because if you think about it, he can't rely on others for his own bad luck in this life, it is all his own doing, but Quanzi has really been dragged down by him in this life.

Looking back on the past, if when he was a child, he was favored by Chen Deyuan and cultivated by Yuye, and on the other hand, he had to sell cheaply to bully the kind-hearted Chen Liquan, he was still young and ignorant, deliberately pretending to be a grandson.

Then he deliberately went to the Xuanwu Sports School to make a big fuss, ruining the future of Quanzi's champion, and later dragged Quanzi onto the thief ship, and fooled around with him in the "player" circle, but it was selfish and narrow-minded.

Because of the results of these two events, not only directly ruined Chen Liquan's supposed bright and lofty championship future, but also dragged him into prison, and even Quanzi's mother was angry to death early because of Quanzi's labor reeducation.

If you count it strictly, it can even be said that he caused Izumiko to lose her mother and become a pure orphan.

But what did Izumiko do to him?

Not only was he willing to suffer losses and hardships when he was a child, he never bothered with him, and tolerated him to the extreme. Even at critical moments, Izumi often risks being misunderstood, blamed, or even risked being misunderstood, blamed, and even harmed by him to help him, support him, and send charcoal in the snow.

Like in the labor reform circle in Chadian, he is often the leader who resists labor, causes trouble, and even fights, but Quanzi not only takes the initiative to help him dig earthwork and sell coolies, but every time he does it with others, and even the punishment of discipline afterwards, he has never abandoned him.

Especially later, just in time for the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, when the brick house in the circle collapsed due to the aftershocks, he originally wanted to learn some unwise upbringing, and took the opportunity to escape.

But at the critical moment, it was Izumiko who calmly reminded him, so that he realized that he was likely to be shot if he escaped at that time, and grasped the major meritorious opportunity to fight for disaster relief in time of crisis.

So, this is another different result of him and Quanzi being dismissed in advance for saving people, it can be said that if it weren't for Quanzi that time, he probably would have wandered the world as a wanted criminal and lived a life of escape without people and ghosts, or he would have been killed and ended his life early.

But not only did he not cherish this rare turn in life, but he still complained about fooling around in society after his liberation, even in the later stage of his life, he always felt that he was living a miserable life, life owed him too much, and no matter how much he received, it was just a compensation that should have belonged to him.

But he never thought about a problem from a different angle, Chen Liquan was far worse than him, because for him, in the end, Quanzi even played with his life.

Thinking of this, Hong Yanwu was so ashamed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

Izumi really regarded him as a friend, but he never regarded anyone as a friend.

Quanzi worked hard because of him, Quanzi's mother also died, and Quanzi lived alone, but how did he care about these in his previous life, and how could he ever think about it?

Ask yourself, in his life, he has failed the people who should not be disappointed, and those who have been ignored are the people who should not be ignored.

It's stupid!

After walking for another five or six minutes, Hong Yanwu finally saw the black cast iron gate of the Nanheng Street Coal Factory, the big coal factory under the cover of the green iron shed, which used to be the place where Chen Deyuan presided over the party, and it should also be the place where Chen Liquan's son inherits his father's business and works every day.

This made him feel inexplicably shocked when he stepped into the coal plant.

Some are sour, some are warm, some are panicked, some are melancholy, and some are even more apprehensive.

Good brother, Izumiko!

Are you still alive?
