As soon as he lowered his head, he screamed "ah". As soon as we heard him cry, we all turned our eyes to him.

The man crouched down, looked at it for a long time, and pulled a nail out of the outer tire of the bicycle. The man took the nail in his hand, tossed it up and down, snorted coldly, turned his eyes to the fat man, and showed a fierce look on his face.

"What's going on?" said the fat man, not without surprise, "I was fine when I came back just now, why now—" "I don't care so much about you, and I have to pay for breaking other people's things." ”

"Then I'll push you to dip. "I'm going to let you give me back to the way I was." "Then where can I do it?" "If you can't do it, it's okay to say, you paid for the meal of the four brothers today, and we won't have the well water in the future." ”

"This—" The fat man tried to deny it again, but saw the other three people all stand up, and their eyes shot towards this side in unison. The hotel suddenly became tense, and it seemed that even the air had stopped flowing.

At this time, Wang Tonghe was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the fat man, so he stood up and played a round game: "Fat man, as the saying goes, a single person does not suffer immediate losses, you can help them pay the account today, and it would be good to make more friends in the future." As he spoke, he kept giving the fat man a look.

The fat man looked down and thought about it, and finally hesitated to take out a stack of bills from his body. Wang Tonghe calculated the account, and it was only fifty-five yuan, so he went to my cousin's house and said, "Okay, it's okay to collect fifty." After speaking, he gave the fat man twenty yuan.

And the four of them sat there and drank calmly for a while, and then the punctured bicycle in their laps left.

After they left, Wang Tonghe said angrily to me and Wang Tonghe: "Just a few of them, which one of you say is my opponent." I really wanted to go out and fight with them. ”

"Forget it," Wang Tonghe persuaded, "Whoever makes them outsiders, we can't afford to provoke them." The fat man hung his head and stayed in the hotel for a while, then got up and left.

Of course, all I have seen so far are "gangsters", and I have not seen the real "gangsters". However, once, I did meet a "big gangster".

Li Laosan and Juqiang are a Murakami, and he is the older brother of one of my high school classmates. Speaking of my high school classmates, we've been together for a while. We were admitted to high school together from junior high school. However, his score was much lower than mine.

Because we come from a township, we are naturally closer than others. We used to smoke and drink together, to look forward to the future, to talk about national affairs, about women, about sex. I remember that he liked to study philosophy, and I liked literature.

He also has some love for literature, but I thought his articles were not as good as mine. Because he is a gloomy person, he is not as emotional as me. So I thought that if he had become a writer with me, he would definitely not have as good a literary talent as me.

I once compared him to Du Fu, and I myself to Li Bai. He didn't want to. In fact, Du Fu is not necessarily worse than Li Bai. It's just that Du Fu is realism and Li Bai is romanticism.

The two wrote poems, and the expression techniques were different. Personally, I think Du Fu also has a romantic atmosphere, and Li Bai also has a simple and realistic place, but Li Bai is better at exaggeration.

And most people in real life are entangled in trivial matters, and they want to escape from reality and think about those romantic plots. And Li Bai can just satisfy the psychology of most people. This is also the reason why ordinary readers like Li Bai and don't like Du Fu.

We have also been together "just classmates and young people, in the prime of life, scholarly spirited, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country, exalting words, dung the marquis of ten thousand households-" However, our friendship was ruined because of a hundred dollars.

Once, he borrowed a hundred dollars from me because of something, but he refused to pay it back to me. I went to ask for it a few times, and he either pulled the gourd or the scoop, and entertained me very courteously.

But when I mention money, he just has two words: no money. He was a grandson when he borrowed money, and I became a grandson when I asked for an account. But I'm a person who likes to look at face, I could have turned my face with him, and I would have lost his face by arguing with him in their village. But after thinking about it, forget it.

From then on, I stopped going to his house to look for him, he didn't come to me, and our friendship came to an end.

He went to high school and was a Sven. But his brother is not Sven at all. He was also mixed "outside" in Chenghai. What are you doing out there? stealing, robbing.

After getting the money, drink and play with women, and the money comes and goes quickly. However, like doing business, this kind of thing has its own time. For example, during that time, the wind was too tight and the investigation was too strict, so they had no financial resources.

If you don't have financial resources, you can't go hungry, so you can only go to a talkative restaurant owner to eat. Because the "third child" and I are acquaintances, it just so happened that the wind was too tight in those days, so he mixed up at the Henan Hotel.

Of course, he sometimes helps with the dishes. Although my cousin didn't look good, he didn't dare to say anything, and he couldn't say anything. There is only one way to let it go.

However, those of them who are outside are also extremely reluctant to live this kind of life of looking at people's faces. At the first opportunity, they commit robbery. To say that he is really bold, he actually forced a tricycle driver to drive someone else's tricycle over in broad daylight to count him.

After he snatched someone's tricycle, there was no place to put it, so he put it in the Henan Hotel. According to his thoughts, this three-wheeler looks honest and easy to bully, even if he blatantly robs him like this, he doesn't dare to do anything. He never thought that this person's backstage was so hard!

One night, just after dinner, I, Wang Tonghe, Li Laosan, Zhang Yunan, and the four of us were sitting in the living room of the hotel chatting.

At this moment, we faintly heard the sound of a motorcycle in the distance, and from the sound we could conclude that it was not one motorcycle, but several. The third thief was weak-hearted, as if he had a premonition of something, so he hurriedly stood up, walked out of the hotel, and hid in a corner.

After another minute or two, we saw several motorcycles lined up towards the Henan Hotel. There were two people on those motorcycles: one driving in the front and the other sitting in the back.

Far away, you can see the person sitting in the back holding a handful of bright things in his hand, glittering there. When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, all the motorcycles stopped.

The people in the car also quickly got out of the car. At this time, the person sitting in the back seat handed the two sabers in his hand to the person driving in front of him. Then, they exchanged heads and ears again, and they flocked to the Henan Hotel.

Through the corner light of the street lamp, you can see that the men are all dressed in black, with black cloth wrapped around their heads, and only two eyes are exposed. I held my breath in fear, and I thought I'm done this time.

If they had recognized the wrong person, they might have hacked me to death. Just as he was thinking, those people had already arrived in the living room of the hotel. At this time, I saw a tall man with a flashlight in his hand, followed by the man who had been robbed of the tricycle.

The man in black took a flashlight and shone it on several of our faces, allowing the man following him to identify him. The man shook his head. Then they looked at the tricycle again and nodded.

The man who was robbed pushed the tricycle out the door. At this time, several men in black walked out of the hotel with sabers and began to look around. However, they searched all over the front and back of the hotel, but they didn't even see the shadow of the third child.

Wang Tonghe and I were thinking, maybe those men in black ran away when they first entered the hotel.

Those men in black searched for a long time and couldn't find anyone, so they left with the three-wheeler. As soon as they left, the stones in our hearts fell to the ground, and we didn't look as nervous as before.

But we were curious about where the third child was hiding, so that the men in black could not find him. A few of us then found the third child. We searched for a long time, and finally found him crawling in the grass on the edge of a building, shivering there.

At that time, I was thinking, how can these people who dare to rob also have a time when they are afraid? Yes, everyone is the same life, and who is not afraid of death.
