"Why should I believe you?" Cheng Tang asked loudly.

"I took your 500 yuan tape money, which was regarded as the protection money I collected, and I will cover you at school in the future, and I will collect money to do things, otherwise there would not be so many brothers following me. Qiangzi raised his hand and pointed to the group of brothers he had brought with him.

Li Haoran took the fat man and Xiaochuan to the courtyard, the bastards were smoking, the sky was dark, and he didn't recognize Li Haoran and the three of them for a while, but Cheng Tang just happened to face the courtyard, and suddenly saw Li Haoran come in, "I need to think about it." Seeing Li Haoran and the three of them coming, Cheng Tang's tone slowed down.

Qiangzi thought that his threat would work, and said proudly: "Continue to do the tape business in your hand, I will cover you, no one dares to ask you for anything, you think about it, remember to go to the second floor to find me, the day after tomorrow, go to the second floor to find me on Monday morning." ”

"Help?" the fat man reminded Li Haoran by touching his arm.

"Forget it, Cheng Tang didn't say anything, let's wait first. Li Haoran said casually.

Li Haoran spoke in a normal voice just now, but Qiangzi turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw Li Haoran, he paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Hao? When did you come over?"

"When I first came, Brother Qiangzi's way of talking about business is very chic, with so many fools, it costs a lot of money every day, right?" Li Haoran replied with a smile.

"For the sake of being made into a pig's head, I'll let you go today, and we'll see later. Qiangzi glared at Li Haoran, glanced at the fat man and Xiaochuan on the side, and walked out of the door with a group of thugs.

"I've made you see the joke. After Qiangzi took people away, Cheng Tang raised his hand and wiped his eyes.

"We're all brothers, and if you need help, squeak. Li Haoran stepped forward and patted Cheng Tang on the shoulder and said.

"I don't need it for the time being, I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to buy some cold dishes and eat two bites with me?" Cheng Tang squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Let's go, I'll go with you, and discuss something on the way by the way. Li Haoran stretched out his hand and put his arm around Cheng Tang's shoulder, and the two went out together.

Chengzhuang Village Entrance is located on the only way to the town, there are simple shops on both sides of the road, a small restaurant, a shed built out of thatch outside, and the old tables, chairs and benches are placed inside, the boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, seeing Cheng Tang walking by, he smiled and handed a cigarette to Cheng Tang to say hello, and after buying cold dishes, he went to the supermarket next to him to buy a beer.

On the way back, Li Haoran began to talk about things, and didn't say a word about Cheng Tang and Qiangzi, but just asked about pirated books and tape recorders, Cheng Tang thought for a while, and said: "Pirated books and tape recorders can also find channels through Liu Guang, and then get the goods from Liu Guang, I also thought about this problem, but Liu Guang felt that it was not profitable at that time, so he didn't buy it, and Liu Guang could get his hands on the tape recorder, as for pirated books, it seems that there are a lot of pirated printing workshops in the city, but it is not very convenient to go to it." ”

"Then take the time to make an appointment with Liu Guang, I plan to buy a batch of pirated books and tape recorders to buy next. Li Haoran thought for a moment and continued: "In the future, I will not do the business of pirated tapes in No. 1 Middle School. Li Haoran didn't say it very clearly, Cheng Tang thought that Li Haoran would sell tape recorders and pirated books in No. 1 Middle School next, and he was also very happy, after all, they could make money together in the future.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the movie in the village has not yet started, and many adults and children have already gathered on the street, and it is a very pleasant thing to watch a movie at night, although there are only a few movies played, and the themes are all kinds of anti-Japanese wars and the like.

Back at home, a few bottles of beer were down, several people were a little drunk, the voice of the tape recorder was so loud that it overshadowed the sound of the movie, and after a few people chatted, they went to the street to find that everyone had returned with stools.

Refusing Cheng Tang's kindness, Li Haoran and the three of them rushed home in the stars and moons, and came to the entrance of the village, the three of them said goodbye to each other, and made an appointment to go to Li Haoran's house to do their homework the next morning. ”

"Let's go, I guess Xiaochuan has already run home now. Li Haoran proposed.

"I'm rubbing, who is so lacking in virtue? The tree is dug up, and the pit is not filled. Xiaochuan climbed out of the tree pit depressedly, looked at the direction where Li Haoran and the fat man disappeared and said to himself, "It's good that I haven't been found, it's really embarrassing." ”

Xiao Chuan waited for a while, and made sure that Li Haoran and the fat man had gone away, so he limped home, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart that he must bring a flashlight when he came out at night in the future.

The next day, in the morning, Xiaochuan who had rested all night became lively again, after simply washing his face, eating breakfast, and going to Li Haoran's house with his homework book. Li Haoran was doing his homework, and when he saw Xiaochuan coming in, he looked up and grinned at Xiaochuan, and then continued to write his homework. It didn't take long for the fat man to come over, and he also smiled at Xiaochuan, ", what do you mean? Ogawa asked inexplicably.

"Why did you say you could run so fast when you were blind in the dark yesterday? I and the mouse watched the road closely and almost fell into the ditch, did you fall into the ditch?" asked the fat man with a smile.

"No, how could I have fallen into the ditch?" Ogawa replied immediately.

"Mouse, you heard it just now, Xiao Chuan personally admitted that he didn't fall into the ditch, how about it, take the money, you lost. The fat man proudly stretched out his hand to Li Haoran.

"Oh, that's what happened, which of the two of you fell into the ditch?" said Ogawa gloatingly as he looked at the two.

"Xiao Chuan, you didn't fall into the ditch, so why are you standing with mud on your clothes?" Li Haoran said with a pen pointing at Xiao Chuan's elbow.

Xiao Chuan looked down and saw that there was indeed mud, and it was already lumpy, and he refused to admit it, "Yesterday, the clothes were hung in the yard and fell to the ground." ”

The fat man smiled and took the five yuan from Li Haoran's hand and said: "Yesterday, the mouse accidentally stepped on the ditch, and I made a bet with the mouse at that time, and the mouse said that if you run so much, you will definitely fall into the ditch, and I said that you will definitely not fall into the ditch, and the mouse lost." ”

"In the future, I will collect money for copying homework, five yuan each time. Li Haoran closed the textbook and said casually.

"Damn, I didn't say you, everyone is a brother, you are really not authentic. The fat man threw the money to Li Haoran before he could cover it, and said dissatisfiedly.

Near noon, the fat man went home to get meat to cook, and when he came over, he brought news that Cheng Tang had already contacted Liu Guang, and Liu Guang was at home in the afternoon. Liu Guang started to spend money everywhere when he had money, there are nightclubs in the county, and now it is a place that Liu Guang must go to at night, there is an Emgrand nightclub in the northern suburbs of the county, which is where Liu Guang often goes these days, and even met a young lady in it.

Last night, Liu Guang went to the Emgrand nightclub in the county seat as usual, and drank in the box with a woman he met a few days ago.

On the fifth floor of the nightclub, in the manager's office, the original manager stood aside, and behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with a big belly, in his forties, sitting in the boss's chair smoking a cigar with a leisurely face. On the black leather sofa next to him is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who is looking at the newspaper in a suit and leather shoes, with black leather shoes polished. In the midst of swallowing clouds and spitting fog, the middle-aged man on the boss's chair inadvertently glanced at the man in the suit, and reminded lightly: "Third child, you took the newspaper backwards." ”

"Sorry, the lights are too dim. The man in the suit replied casually and took the newspaper seriously.

Seeing this, the manager standing aside said, "Third master, you take off your sunglasses and you'll be bright." ”

"Oh, yes. The suit looked at the male manager and then at the middle-aged man sitting on the boss's chair, and there was no next move.

Ten minutes later, the cigar burned out, the middle-aged man seemed to be a little impatient, and the manager on the side felt that the boss behind him had a strange breath, and said, "Or, I'll go and urge the sixth master now?"

"No, Xiaoliu is generally not late. As soon as the boss finished speaking, a young man in a suit pushed the door in, the young man closed the door, and smiled at the boss behind the desk: "Second brother, long time no see." Then he turned his head to greet the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, "Third brother, you are also here." ”

"Lao Li, you go to the door and keep guard, don't let anyone in. The boss said to the manager who was standing aside.

After the manager nodded, he walked to the door, and closed the door, there were only three people left in the room, the boss lit another cigar, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sixth, don't be restrained, just sit down." ”

The young man sat on the sofa and turned his head to give the man in the suit holding the newspaper a smug look, but the third brother didn't make any movement, still looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"Sixth, do you remember the incident that everyone did together ten years ago?" The second brother left the boss's chair and sat down on the sofa to remind.

"Of course I remember, the second brother and the third came just for the incident ten years ago?" asked the young man with a tilt of his head.

"En" The second brother took a puff of his cigar and continued: "It's been ten years now, and the police officers who investigated this matter have all been transferred from their original posts, and even the deputy mayor has retired. The second brother put his arm around the young man's shoulders and turned his head to look at the young man and said, "The eldest brother feels that the time is almost up, the things of the year have been forgotten, and I want you to transport the goods to Hong Kong in turn, and the manpower is already ready in Yunnan, just waiting for you to send it." ”

"Okay, I'll pack up my things and leave later, it's been five years, and I miss my big brother too. The young man nodded in agreement.

After the young man left, the second brother retracted his gaze, "It's been ten years, and Xiaoliu has grown from a stunned young man." ”

The third child sitting on the sofa closed the newspaper, "Yes, no wonder the boss was optimistic about this child, and he was indeed very similar to our previous boss." ”

Half an hour later, at the back door of the Emgrand nightclub, five Mercedes-Benz drove out of the yard in turn, and the manager stood aside and saw the vehicle driving away, so he reached out and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and turned back.

In the nightclub, Liu Guang was in the box, the young man pushed the door in with a smile of reunion after a long absence, Liu Guang saw the young man come in, got up with a smile and welcomed the young man over, "Damn, Jiezai, didn't you just say that you left for half an hour, you look at it for an hour now." Liu Guang smiled and pointed to the brand-new watch on his wrist and said to the young man.

"Damn, don't say anything, I'll punish myself with three cups. The young man named Liu Jie picked up three glasses of beer, picked them up one by one, and drank them all.

"Where have you been all these years? Your suit is so beautiful!" Liu Guang's drunken eyes were hazy, staring at the suit on Liu Jie's body, and he expressed sincere admiration.

"I'm working outside, and I can't come back for a while, so don't ask, I'll have to go out later. After the young man finished speaking with a smile, he instructed the two waitresses, "There is a private room on the second floor, where he lives at night, this is the key." Liu Jie put the key on the table.

After Liu Jie said hello to Liu Guang, he went to the second floor, took out the spare key from his pocket, opened the door, and began to tidy up his things after entering.
