Chapter 211: Before the Black Fist Match
I thought to myself, do Li Mu and I look like bad people, the little girl seemed to be very worried about Bai Qing, and finally stopped, and called her brother softly.
Bai Qing frowned, and walked to the little girl's side, it should have been said that Li Mu and I were his friends or something, and then the little girl left, still holding the hundreds of yuan in her hand.
Bai Qing walked up to me while scratching Yau Huahua's hair and called Brother Quan, and then lowered his head and didn't speak, his pale face was slightly red. I think it makes us feel ashamed to see his down-and-out and poor side.
I patted Bai Qing on the shoulder and asked, "That's your sister?" ”
Bai Qing nodded; I don't have to think about it, I also know where Bai Qing spent the 3,000 yuan I gave him, so I looked at the time, there was still more than an hour before the start of the black boxing match, so I said to Bai Qing, "Take me to your house to see." ”
"Brother Quan, there's nothing to see, my family...... My house is dirty. Bai Qing shook his head desperately, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows gradually turned into embarrassment.
I whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, take me to see it." ”
I pretended to be angry, Bai Qing shrunk his neck slightly, and then scratched Yau Huahua's hair and walked forward. Li Mu and I followed behind him.
Bai Qing walked around the alley and led us to a dilapidated courtyard, where one of the two doors had collapsed, and the other one hung crookedly on the wall, swaying and making an ugly sound. As soon as the three of us walked into the yard, we smelled a strange stench, which was the smell of all kinds of rotten and old objects.
There was a gray-haired lady in the courtyard who was washing her patched clothes, and next to her, the little girl from before was blinking at me and Li Mu, two uninvited guests.
Before Bai Qing could speak, I introduced first: "Hello Auntie, we are friends with Bai Qing. ”
The aunt rubbed her hands on the dirty apron, stood up tremblingly, first glanced at me, then at Bai Qing, and asked softly: "Bai Qing's friend?" ”
I nodded, trying to smile and look kind. Because of the perennial fight in the boxing ring, my face will become a little hideous, but fortunately, my facial features are still good-looking so that I will not be vicious, and a slight smile can be regarded as able to dispel the hostility of this lady.
Bai Qing also said at this time: "This is my mother, also surnamed Bai, and my sister's name is Bai Qing; Because my father ran away from home when Qingqing was pregnant, my sister and I have always had my mother's surname. ”
I nodded, looked around the dilapidated courtyard, and reached into my pocket, but when I touched it, I found that I didn't have any money with me.
I looked at Li Mu and found that Li Mu had already pinched a large stack of banknotes in his hand, and then handed it to me. Sure enough, Li Mu still understands me.
I handed the stack of money into my aunt's hand, and said softly: "Aunt Bai, Bai Qing and I are friends, this is a little heart, I hope to help you improve your life." ”
The three mothers and sons of the Bai family all looked at each other, and Aunt Bai trembled her hands, not daring to take the money.
Bai Qing also said on the side: "Brother Quan, you have already given me money yesterday, forget it this time, although we are poor, it is not good to take other people's money all the time, I would rather earn it myself." ”
I sighed and smiled wryly, "Earn? Earn with your life? Don't worry, I didn't give this money for nothing, you can follow me well in the future, you are a good material, you can't be mistaken like this. ”
To be honest, the reason why I helped Bai Qing so much was not only because he was a seedling who practiced boxing, nor because of his fearlessness beyond ordinary people, but also because I saw in him the shadow of my former downfall. I had Li Mu to help me at that time, and now I also have the strength to help others, and I hope to be able to take Bai Qing on a ride.
Bai Qing wanted to say something, I didn't give him another chance, put the money in the pocket of Aunt Bai's apron, and then said: "Auntie, don't worry, we are serious businessmen, because I met Bai Qing by chance, I value this kid's uncomfortable spirit, so I want to help him." If you don't want to go, Bai Qing will pay me back the money later. ”
Aunt Bai was already very excited, she nodded again and again, her expression looked very humble, which made me feel very unbearable.
I looked at Bai Qing and said, "If I have time, I will personally take you to replace your outfit, and in addition, you will also settle your family well, and if you have arrears, you can pay it back as soon as possible, if you are really short of money, tell me." ”
I was deeply affected by the debt, and if it weren't for my father's gambling debt, I should have lived an ordinary life. When I thought of this, I sighed.
After the explanation, Li Mu and I walked out.
After Li Mu went out, he patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "What? Remembering your own past? ”
I smiled wryly and didn't speak.
Li Mu said again: "You have survived, don't think about it too much, it will only get better and better in the future." ”
Li Mu actually rarely speaks so softly, which makes me a little unaccustomed.
When the two of us walked out of the alley, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind us, and when we looked back, we found that it was Bai Qing who followed.
"Brother Quan, why are you here, are you going to participate in the Black Boxing Tournament?" Li Mu asked curiously.
I smiled and said, "What? Have you ever been to a brutal black boxing match? ”
Bai Qing shook his head and said: "How can we get in, the tickets are enough for me to eat and drink for a month, and I used to want to go to the boxing match, but no one wants it." ”
I thought to myself, I'm glad they didn't promise you to go to the race, otherwise they would all be one of the nameless corpses by now.
"Brother Quan, you are going, can you take me?" Bai Qing looked at me expectantly.
I glanced at Li Mu and asked him if he could bring Bai Qing.
Li Mu actually didn't have a good impression of Bai Qing all the time, but he didn't show it, he said expressionlessly: "Now Luo Mingdu is begging you to fight the cruel black boxing, of course there is nothing wrong with these little things, you have to agree to take him directly." ”
Bai Qing asked in surprise after hearing this, "Brother Quan, how long are you competing?" ”
I explained, "I just watched the Brutal Black Fist today, and it might be three days from now. ”
Seeing Bai Qing's expectant look, I didn't say anything, and took him to the underground cruel black fist arena.
Although Bai Qing has always lived in this area, many people here have only heard of the cruel black fist and have not actually seen it, so it is understandable that Bai Qing is excited.
Because Luo Ming now values my strength very much, and begs me to fight to make money for him, he personally greeted me as soon as I arrived at the ring. Even so, Luo Ming's face did not deliberately make a welcoming smile, which was different from the kind tone on the phone, and his every move made people feel that he was very arrogant.
"This is my younger brother, because he wants to practice boxing, so let him come and visit." I directly introduced Bai Qing first, and the so-called first cut and then play is like this.
Luo Ming was very disdainful when he saw Bai Qing's sloppy dress, but he didn't say anything, and asked the three of us to be invited to a private room upstairs, and some snacks and drinks were delivered; And informed that the next game was a weapon fight, and both sides signed a life and death contract. That means it's a game that will kill you.
After sitting down in the box, we just waited for the boxing match to begin, and looking down from the glass of the box, we could see the center of the boxing ring and the dense crowd around it.
Bai Qing saw this kind of grand occasion for the first time, and he was even more nervous than the people participating in the boxing match. But it didn't take long for him to be caught by the snacks and drinks on the table.
I looked at Bai Qing and kept swallowing saliva, and said with a smile: "You're welcome to eat as much as you want, but don't eat too much, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to vomit." ”
Bai Qing looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I said that it would be uncomfortable to vomit.
I saw that Bai Qing was still a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to pour three glasses of beer, and then ate the snacks on the table by himself. Li Mu sat there motionless, and Bai Qing saw that I was eating happily and followed suit.
These snacks are not high-end goods, but for people like Bai Qing, who often can't eat enough, they are already considered delicacies from the mountains and seas, so they kept eating them after letting go, and they didn't stop until the beginning of the game. For him, boxing will be more appealing than food.
The crowd on the first floor of the boxing arena began to be restless, and the first to enter was a man who participated in the cruel black boxing for the first time, he was dressed in a hardcover and his body skin was very fair, although some muscles seemed to have been exercised from the gym, which was useless. But it was this white-faced boy who took the initiative to ask for a weapon duel for the first time, and it was still a life-and-death duel.
Everyone began to laugh, and everyone thought that this white-faced man had burned out his brain and was looking for death.
And then the white-faced man's opponent also appeared, this guy was no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old, his bronzed skin was full of scars and sores, and his face was hideous; And it looks even darker against the white skin of the white-faced man, which also makes him have a more sense of killing.
The aura of these two contestants is not a concept at all, and the audience is betting on the black-faced man.
But Li Mu suddenly said: "It's a pity that I didn't bring any money with me, otherwise I would have bet on the white-faced man to win, and the odds would have reached an astonishing one to six." ”
I don't have Li Muqiang's eyes on people, and I can't guarantee that Li Mu just thinks that the odds are high and he wants to bet on the white-faced man to win.
I turned my head and asked Bai Qingdao, "If it were you, would you bet on sleep to win?" ”
Bai Qing thought seriously for a long time, then looked at Li Mu and said, "Like Brother Mu, I think the white-faced man should win." ”
I didn't make a sound, Bai Qing explained: "Because he doesn't seem to have woken up, in fact, I think he should feel very relaxed, otherwise how could he not be refreshed on such an occasion?" ”
