Chapter Fifty-Four: A Thousand Years of Ebony
After tossing for most of the night, Zhao Yi only felt his stomach rumbling, so he took Su Peng to the nearby street for supper.
At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians in the night market, so Zhao Yi and Su Peng found a food stall. When they entered, the few remaining tables of guests simply glanced at them, then quickly turned their heads back and continued to chatter without a word.
As soon as the two sat down, the waiter quickly ran up and said with a smile: "Two big brothers, what are you here?" โ
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Let's have a few specialties in your store, just fill your stomach!" โ
"Okay! Please wait, it will be delivered immediately! The waiter's favorite is such a guest, not verbose, simply answered, turned away.
While waiting for the waiter to deliver the wine and food, Zhao Yi also listened to the chats of other guests, most of these guests at the same table were colleagues who worked overtime, and they chatted mostly about work matters, so Zhao Yi dozed off when he heard it.
It didn't take long for the waiter to bring the delicious meal to the table, and the two of them were not polite, and they picked up the bowls one by one.
Zhao Yi was eating, when suddenly there was a noise at the door, and then a young man wearing a thick gold necklace around his neck and dressed in avant-garde clothes entered the food stall one after another, surrounded by more than a dozen hooligans with dyed hair.
The young man who came in, in his early twenties, was quite handsome, but from the moment he entered the room, his eyes were spinning and his face was full of frivolity as he looked at everyone in the store.
Being looked at by him like this, the small number of diners in the food stall was like a mouse seeing a cat, and after looking at each other a few times, they ran out of the food stall one after another, and even the owner and waiter of the food stall were hiding in the backyard at this time, trembling and afraid to show up.
Seeing so many people suddenly coming in, Zhao Yi and the others didn't take it seriously, nor did they notice the reactions of the diners around them, and continued to bury their heads in eating their food.
Unexpectedly, after the young man raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes finally fell on Zhao Yi and the others, seeing how calmly the two of them ate, he couldn't help frowning, and then walked to Zhao Yi's table with an evil smile on his face, and asked in a weird manner: "The two of you have very good eyes, aren't you from our Haicheng locals?" โ
Zhao Yi has never had much patience for this kind of unruly gangster, and Su Peng naturally won't take this kind of role in his eyes, after listening to his words, the two of them didn't even look up, and continued to eat with their heads bored.
Zhao Yi and the others didn't answer for a long time, and a hooligan behind the young man couldn't help it, took a few steps forward, and roared menacingly: "Fuck, are you deaf?" Our son-in-law asks you something! โ
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Zhao Yi to speak, Su Peng slapped the bowl in his hand on the table, his eyes were shining, he turned to the rascal who was talking, and said in a deep voice: "Son, who are you scolding?" โ
"Lao Tzu is the one who scolds!" As soon as the hooligans were over, the rest of the people around him stepped forward one after another, surrounding Zhao Yi and his party in the center, staring at them with fire-filled eyes.
Secretly say a little trouble! Zhao Yi got up from his seat, walked up to the young master with a smile, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "This brother, the two of us have never known each other, if there is anything, you can sit down and talk slowly, there is no need to move your hands and feet." "From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yi doesn't want to make things bigger, after all, more things are better than less.
"Just you?" The young master slapped him violently, opened the arm that Zhao Yi stretched out in front of him, and then looked at him with the corner of his eye, and sneered: "Since it is a passerby, well, we will not force you, leave two thousand yuan to invite the master to eat, and you can leave." โ
Zhao Yi's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's too much?" โ
"Fuck, our young master asked you to leave two thousand yuan, where did you get so much nonsense!" At this time, a hooligan behind the young master stretched out his broad palm, and without saying a word, he grabbed Zhao Yi's neck fiercely.
Zhao Yi is not short in stature, but standing with the hooligans, in comparison, there is still a big difference, the appearance of the two is very different, I feel that I am really going to be caught by him, and Zhao Yi's neck can be pinched off by him.
Just as Su Peng wanted to rush forward to protect Zhao Yi, the latter's figure suddenly moved. I saw his body slightly sideways, when the opponent's palm immediately approached his neck, he shot like electricity, and clasped the opponent's wrist with a 'bang', I didn't see how hard he used, the ear wheel heard a click, and the hooligan's wrist snapped in response.
Before everyone around could react, Zhao Yi kicked out again, hitting the hooligan in the chest. Suddenly, the two-hundred-pound body was like a kite with a broken string, bouncing off the ground and flying straight behind.
"Plop!"
The hooligan fell straight down on a table not far away, how could the wooden table withstand such a lot of pressure from him, it was crushed in an instant, and wine glasses, dishes and chopsticks were scattered all over the ground.
At this time, I looked at the hooligan, lying on the ground with his back to the sky, his face was red, he gasped for breath twice, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled white, and he fainted on the spot.
With just one kick, he knocked out the majestic hooligan in front of him, and everyone present was shocked when they saw this, and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief.
Looking at their shocked and shocked expressions, Zhao Yi suddenly felt funny, he tilted his head and said to the people in front of him: "If you want my money, are you all you can do?"
"Son, go to your ancestors!" As he spoke, several hooligans rushed towards Zhao Yi, led by a hooligan, still holding a chair in his hand, and when Zhao Yi approached, he raised the wooden chair high, aimed at Zhao Yi's head, and smashed it down with all his strength.
Where would Zhao Yi put such a role in his eyes, he charged up slightly, then lifted his right leg and kicked it upwards violently, although the opponent made a move in front and he made a move behind, but his foot was on the chair first.
"Click!"
The solid wooden chair was smashed by Zhao Yi's kick, and the hooligan led by him was also kicked right in the center of the mouth, and his whole body snatched back a few meters away, and then crashed into a group of people behind him.
For a while, the entire food stall was silent, and everyone was stunned.
"This ...... It's not human! It's the devil! The young master swallowed his saliva fiercely, staring at Zhao Yi with a shocked face, and the whole person was already dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, the other party actually put down several thugs on his side one after another, this kind of skill, I am afraid can only be described by the word horror.
Zhao Yi clapped his palms with a relaxed face, walked up to the young master again, and said with a smile: "How about it, do you still want my money?" โ
The young master was excited, his legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, waving his hand again and again: "No...... Don't! โ
"Yes!" Zhao Yi raised his head and chin, pointed to the tables and chairs that were broken during the fight in the food stalls, and said, "What about the compensation for these items?" โ
"I'll pay for it!" The young master was also very excited, and when he saw that the signs were wrong, he hurriedly changed his attitude, took out a pile of hundred-yuan bills, put them on the counter, and smiled at Zhao Yi and the others: "A few big brothers, the younger brother is clumsy, he doesn't know Mount Tai with eyes, offended, offended!" โ
"Take your people, get out of now!"
"Yes! Be! The cold light in the young master's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand at a few of his subordinates around him, and then escaped from the food stall as if he was being chased by a ghost.
The master had all run away, and the other hooligans dared to stay longer, and several people hurriedly picked up their injured companions and ran out of the door in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, the originally lively food stalls instantly became empty.
Looking at the people who fled like lost dogs, Su Peng said angrily: "Brother Zhao, forget it?" โ
"Or else?"
"But it's too cheap, bastards!"
Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, it's better not to cause trouble." โ
At this time, the boss and waiter of the food stall also walked out of it, the former walked quickly to the door, looked out with his head enough, and confirmed that the young master and his party had gone away, the boss put his mind at ease, walked in front of Zhao Yi, and said gratefully: "Thanks to my brother's help today, otherwise the loss of our store will be great." โ
"Boss, who are they?" Zhao Yi asked curiously.
"Alas!" The boss sighed heavily, and said with helplessness on his face: "The young master in the lead, named Li Shen, his father Li Hong is a local hooligan leader, who does all kinds of evil on weekdays, and for us stores, they have to come every month to ask for protection money."
"How can this be true? Then why don't you just call the police? Zhao Yi shouted angrily in dissatisfaction.
"Call the police?" The boss smiled bitterly and said: "Li Hong and the police chief are brothers, and a lot of the protection money he collects every month is filial piety to the police, so let's not get into trouble!" The boss shook his head helplessly.
"......" Zhao Yi only thought of four words at this time: wolf bรจi is a traitor!
Zhao Yi changed the topic and asked casually, "Boss, how is your store's business?" โ
The owner of the food stall smiled and replied: "This business is quite passable, it seems that my brother is not a local of our Haicheng, right?" โ
"Ahh The boss has good eyesight, I'm from out of town to do business here! Zhao Yi said nonsense.
"Oh? What business? โ
"Hehe, trafficking in some medicinal herbs, this business."
"Medicinal herb business?" When the food stall owner heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, came to Zhao Yi's approach, and said, "By the way, brother, I heard that there was an auction here recently, I think you should be interested." โ
Zhao Yi was puzzled: "Why? โ
"A while ago, a villager in the surrounding villages of Haicheng fished out a piece of thousand-year-old ebony from the sea, which is said to have great medical value. Since the prices quoted by the visitors are higher than the other, the villager decided to hold an auction, and the highest bidder will win, I wonder what interest you are in this? โ
Millennial ebony?! Hearing these four words, Zhao Yi was instantly stunned......
