Liu Kunlun followed Wei Kang to the front desk of the bathing center, this man was sitting on the sofa smoking, with Erlang's legs crossed and blue plastic slippers on his feet.

The bathing center is on the negative floor, up and down through the elevator, after the guests come, the first step is to change the slippers, and when the checkout is also to pay first, and then use the number plate to change their shoes, usually the guests wearing slippers are not allowed to leave, which means evading the bill.

The master who ate overlord chicken was stopped when he tried to wear slippers on the elevator, and the two waiters stood by and watched, he swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, calmly, and he was not weak when he saw Wei Kang coming, and he also took out a cigarette sleeve: "Mr. Wei, you are busy, why are you still here for this little thing, don't you just bring no money, what a big deal, record it on my account, and give it together next time." ”

Wei Kang knew this person, and pushed back the cigarette with a smile: "Boss You, you said it earlier if you don't have enough money, we don't owe credit here, and you don't know." ”

Boss You said, "I really forgot, why don't you send someone to go home with me to get the money?"

Liu Kunlun looked at this Boss You, his face was dish-colored, skinny, extremely unhealthy, and his clothes were shabby, how could he have half the style of a boss.

Wei Kang turned his head and rushed to the counter and said, "Forget it this time, put it in my account, and get shoes for Boss You." ”

The waiter reluctantly put on gloves and threw a pair of clamshell black leather shoes with seriously worn heels in front of Boss You, who pulled the shoes and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, Mr. Wei is righteous, I have to arrange it and go." With that, he got on the elevator and walked away.

Liu Kunlun looked at the elevator door and looked at Wei Kang, a little puzzled.

Wei Kang walked to the stairwell and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Xiaojian, come over and deal with something." ”

Two minutes later, the hedgehog head came, and Wellon said, "You take your little brother to educate Youmouse." ”

"Yes. Xiaojian nodded and snapped his fingers at Liu Kunlun: "Let's go, go with my brother to do someone." ”

When the two of them walked out of the gate of Dunhuang, they saw You Lao walking in front, in a hurry, and generally people who came to Dunhuang to consume were either driving or taking a taxi, and it was really rare to walk to take a bath and relax.

There was a dark alley in front, Xiao Jian gave Liu Kunlun a look, the two stepped forward, left and right, and took You Mouse into the alley, walked seven or eight steps, knocked down, not to mention kicking with big leather shoes, Liu Kunlun studied while kicking, Brother Xiaojian's strength and striking parts are very particular, this kind of beating can beat people to the hospital for a month, but it can't hurt the internal organs, it won't be fatal.

On the way, Xiaojian asked Liu Kunlun for a cigarette, took two puffs and said something without a beginning or end: "Don't listen to them talk nonsense about me." ”

Liu Kunlun nodded ignorantly: "Hmm." ”

Back at Dunhuang, Xiao Jian continued to go back to duty, and Liu Kunlun still followed Wei Kang to inspect.

Wellcome said: "Are you wondering why I didn't call the police. ”

Liu Kunlun said: "It's not strange. "I don't know what the bathing center is doing, how can this kind of thing be handled by the government and the police.

Wei Kang said: "It's not what you think, we are a regular bath, a regular massage, the key is the person of You Mouse, he is a fan friend, playing No. 4, this kind of scum is sent to the police station in vain, kill him and not, you can only deal with it like this." ”

Liu Kunlun said: "I understand. ”

……

In the city late at night, from the lights of thousands of homes to the silence of all nights, the guests finally gradually left, the catering department got off work, the bathing center was basically closed, and only some guests in the KTV stayed awake and carnivaled all night.

At half past twelve, Liu Kunlun's walkie-talkie received a call from Brother Kang: "Little brother, little brother, don't leave after work, I'll have supper." ”

There is a night market food stall in Omi, and the city government has set aside an area on the pedestrian street for laid-off workers to open a catering business, and every evening, all kinds of stir-fried vegetables, barbecue, and hot pot are dazzling, and some good businesses will be open until the early hours of the morning, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, frost, snow and rain.

Liu Kunlun didn't go to the night market with his colleagues, and when he was a doorman, he often came to eat supper with the waiters, but that battle couldn't be compared with today, Brother Kang called all the brothers in the public relations department, and more than a dozen strong men occupied a stir-fry stall, and tents were set up in the open-air stalls in winter, surrounded by a stove converted from gasoline barrels, strong liquor and hot dishes, and eating was in full swing.

Wei Kang did not wear a suit, but changed into a smart black leather coat, he sat in the center, raised his wine glass, and said that today is open, which is considered to be a catch for the younger brother.

Liu Kunlun is the youngest here, everyone is older than him and has deep qualifications, but no one dares to underestimate this teenager who put down the seven individual students, everyone pushes the cup and changes the lamp, the wine is hot, all kinds of braggadocio stories are buzzing in the ears, empty liquor bottles, beer bottles are placed on the ground, Liu Kunlun is bent on his ability, and those who come do not refuse, the liquor is at least one and a half pounds drunk, and there are countless beers, and he still relies on the young man's good kidneys, but he doesn't go to the toilet.

He liked these companions, he liked this kind of pride and unbridled life, he felt that he had found a sense of belonging, that he was a carnivore, that he was a ferocious beast, that he was born to eat meat in large chunks, drink in large bowls, and divide gold and silver in large scales, and this was the place he should be, not to help people open the door at the entrance of the clubhouse lobby.

Finally, Liu Kunlun's bladder couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and he quietly walked out of the tent, the cold wind outside was biting, and it was a mess in the dark, which was the garbage heap of the night market, and it was also the place where people who drank too much went to the kidneys.

As soon as Liu Kunlun opened the zipper, he felt a sharp weapon on his back, and someone lowered his voice and said in his ear: "Friend, borrow some money to spend." ”

was actually robbed, Liu Kunlun wanted to laugh a little, more than a dozen brothers with big shoulders and round waists were not far away, and shouted at a loud voice, this person actually dared to use a knife to rob his money, he didn't care, he burped, and began to sway the pressure of his bladder, flying down three thousand feet, watering the swill bucket.

The robbery was annoyed and angry, and he added strength to his hand and said: "You dare to pee, believe it or not, I will kill you with a knife." ”

Liu Kunlun turned back suddenly, a torrent sprayed on the robber, although not as powerful as the fire hose, but also greatly hit the arrogance of the criminals, the man subconsciously took two steps back, at a loss, Liu Kunlun followed with a flying leg, kicked the person staggered and fell down, then slowly cleaned up the guy, pulled the zipper, and called the person over.

The robber was dragged to the tent and ordered to kneel, and a group of drunken men sat in a three-hall posture, and Wellon picked the man's chin on tiptoe, revealing a weather-beaten middle-aged face.

"Where are you, what's your name, do you know robbery is illegal?" asked Wellon.

The man didn't say a word, Xiao Jian went up and slapped him, groped around him, and found a wallet, it was a leatherette wallet bought at the night market, a fake crocodile card, the edges were all open, the wallet was empty, only a five-yuan bill, a few coins.

Xiao Jian took out his ID card from the mezzanine and read: "Zhang Weidong, July 18, 1969, Unit 602, Building 6, Textile Dormitory, No. 802, Yujing South Lane, Gulou District, Jinjiang City. ”

Wei Kang's face changed slightly, and he asked Xiao Jian to take his ID card, compared it, and asked, "Zhang Weidong, are you from a textile factory?"

Zhang Weidong, who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Yes, the textile factory, the factory was sold cheaply by the leaders, and the workers below can't eat." ”

Liu Kunlun's heart softened, he knew that there were many people in the city who were laid off and had no jobs, and those who had the ability to set up stalls to do business, and those who had no ability could only drink the northwest wind as a family, Zhang Weidong was the kind of person who had no ability and had the courage to be a thief, and he actually broke ground on Tai Sui's head, but this person is quite pitiful, I don't know what Brother Kang will do.

Wei Kang continued to interrogate: "How many times has it opened?"

Zhang Weidong snorted: "The first time." ”

The murder weapon was thrown on the ground, a red wooden-handled screwdriver, and it was probably the property of the equipment department of the textile factory.

Wei Kang nodded and said, "If you can't eat, you can't rob, you know that you are going to be sentenced to prison? ”

Zhang Weidong was silent.

Wellcome didn't speak, as if thinking about something.

Liu Kunlun was very worried that Brother Kang would call the police to deal with it, Zhang Weidong was not a drug addict, he was a desperate worker, it was pointless to beat him, and sending him to the police station seemed to be the most reasonable solution.

The guys continued to drink and eat meat, Zhang Weidong knelt on the ground and hung his head in frustration, Wei Kang smoked half a cigarette, and suddenly said, "I have a job, are you willing to do it?"

Zhang Weidong raised his head sharply and said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

The corners of Wei Kang's mouth hooked: "I haven't said anything yet, you are willing?" is it to take a bath in the bathhouse, are you willing?"

Zhang Weidong asked, "How much money can I make in a month?"

"It's up to you, if your craftsmanship is good, two or three thousand is not a thing. ”

"I do!" Zhang Weidong replied solemnly.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll take my ID card, and tomorrow you come to Dunhuang to find me, my name is Wei Kang." ”

Liu Kunlun breathed a sigh of relief, this is probably the best ending.

Zhang Weidong left, the supper should be over, most of the guys dispersed, Wei Kang took Xiaojian and Liu Kunlun back to Dunhuang to work the night shift, there was nothing to do in winter, first go to the bathing center to take a bath and relieve hangover.

In the locker room, Liu Kunlun took off his cheap gray polyester socks, an indescribable smell permeated, the only few guests covered their noses with tears, and the waiter wordlessly took out the air cleaner spray can, in a vain attempt to cover up this strong with a strong chemical fragrance, of course, it was a shameful failure.

Liu Kunlun's face was red, his socks not only tasted spicy, but also had two holes, Wei Kang said: "Little brother, throw away the socks if they are rotten, and the waiter will bring a new pair of socks." ”

took off their clothes, the three of them pulled their slippers into the bathing area, soaked in the pool, a pool of turquoise did not know what potion was added, Wei Kang closed his eyes and recuperated, the mobile phone and walkie-talkie were wrapped in dry towels and placed on the edge of the pool, Xiaojian also wrapped cigarettes and lighters with dry towels, he was a big smoking gun, and he never left his hand at any time.

After soaking for a while, Xiao Jian couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, you have fought enough, and not an inch of skin on your body is good." ”

Liu Kunlun was scarred, although it was not as exaggerated as Xiao Jian said, it was shocking, he smiled faintly and said: "Basically, my father beat me when I was a child, and there were not many injuries in the fight, just here it was cut with a knife, here it was pierced with steel bars, and here it was made by barbed wire wrapped around the body......

Xiao Jian sighed repeatedly: "Is this father a kiss?"

Liu Kunlun didn't answer, he thought about it and decided to ask Brother Kang why he dealt with Zhang Weidong's matter like that.

Wei Kang said: "Zhang Weidong is a laid-off worker, it's quite pitiful, yes, but there are many laid-off workers, and I haven't seen anyone rob, so it can be seen that he either has no roots and tendons and can't find a job, or he likes to work hard and refuses to endure hardships, so I asked him if he would like to take a bath." ”

"What if he doesn't want to?" Liu Kunlun said curiously.

"If he is willing, it means that he can pull down his face, let go of the so-called dignity of state-owned enterprise workers, and save him, if he is unwilling, it means that this person is not saved, and he can only be sent to the police station to let the law educate him to be a man." Wellcome said with his eyes closed.

"Then if he lied to you, first agree, and then all kinds of excuses. Liu Kunlun thought about it and asked again.

"The ID card is with me, and I have a way to get him on the right path. Wellcome's eyes were open, and he was shining.

Xiao Jian echoed: "Brother Kang is definitely a particular person, King Kong is angry, and the Bodhisattva is hearted. ”

Liu Kunlun was convinced, the three of them took a bath, changed into bathrobes, and lay on the sofa in the lounge to watch old Hong Kong movies on the big screen, Lin Zhengying caught ghosts.

Brother Xiaojian was already snoring, but Liu Kunlun couldn't sleep, he caught a glimpse of Brother Kang's hands pillowing behind his head, his eyes were deep, thoughtful, like a sculpture.
