On the Leizhou Peninsula in the southwest of Guangdong Province, there is a small village close to the Qiongzhou Strait, which is located on a raised hill, hence the name Shipo Village. The villagers in Shipo Village are basically surnamed Lin, and these villagers with the surname Lin have an ancestor.

The ancestor surnamed Lin was originally a very wealthy salt merchant in the coastal area of Fujian, and later because he offended the officials and couldn't get mixed up in the local area, he moved his family to the Leizhou Peninsula in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The ancestor surnamed Lin spent money to buy 1,500 acres of fertile land under Shipo Village, and then rented the land to tenants for cultivation, and his own local owner collected rent every year. The ancestor of the surname Lin had five adult sons, and he established a family rule, and the five sons rotated from the eldest son to the bottom, and each son received a year's rent, and if the son died, the eldest grandson would replace him. The son who collects the land rent pays 50 percent of the rent as an offering for the whole extended family, and the rest belongs to himself.

At that time, the Lin family's land was contiguous, the people were prosperous, and the rich party was rich. A few generations after the death of the Lin ancestor, people fought endlessly for the land, and this family rule was naturally abolished. In the years of the Republic of China, the thousands of acres of fertile land under this Shipo village have been divided into many large and small pieces, and the descendants of the surname Lin have also multiplied to hundreds of people, and some of the descendants of the surname Lin have no land to plant, so they simply left the village to beg for a living in a nearby town.

Among the descendants of the surname Lin is a person named Lin Nancai, he is the descendant of the ancestors of the Lin family, after the death of his father when he was a child, Lin Nancai grew up and felt that he could not make a name for himself in the village and left the village to do some small business in a nearby town. Because of his shrewd mind and good at business and financial management, he has grown a small business into a big business in more than ten years and has become a well-known big businessman in the town. When Lin Nancai was in his forties, he spent a lot of money to open the best Yuehai Hotel in the town, and the inn was famous and prosperous.

Lin Nancai is a businessman who calculates opportunities, and he usually always has an abacus in his arm. When you walk on the road, as long as you think of something, you can use the abacus twice, so people give them the nickname: iron abacus.

Iron Abacus has a younger brother who is more than ten years younger than him named Lin Nanhui. This Lin Nanhui's personality is different from his brother, he is not interested in business, he likes to call friends and dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he causes trouble outside for three days, but he is very simple and righteous. Elder brother Lin Nancai thought that the Lin family had never produced a real scholar for generations, and he originally wanted his younger brother to go to the big city of Guangzhou to study and see the world, but Lin Nanhui only studied in high school and never wanted to study anymore, and played outside all day long. Lin Nancai was busy with business, and he didn't have much time and energy to take care of this brother, so he let him do it. Time flies. This Lin Nanhui has passed the year of establishment in a flash, and he is still a single person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry.

This town is adjacent to the Qiongzhou Strait Wharf in the south, is the distribution center of people and goods on both sides of the mainland and Hainan Island, Lin Nancai's Yuehai Hotel in the town is located on the only road in the town, it is the only road for land transportation between the mainland and Hainan Island, the town is full of businessmen and customers on weekdays, and people from the south to the north love to rest here, so the business of the Yuehai Hotel has been very good, and it can even be described as a daily gold fight. The tree is a big move. Lin Nancai's hostel business is doing well, there are people who look red, there are people who compete with them, and there are people who want to grab them and replace them.

There's a sinister force in the town. The leader of this evil force is called Lin Nankui, his ancestral home is from Shipo Village, and he is also Lin Nancai's brother. When Lin Nankui's grandfather was in Shipo Village, he was lazy and lazy, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and squandered all the family's fields and real estate. It was a poor household in Shipo Village who could barely wear pants, and when he died, he didn't even have money to buy a coffin. His father moved from Shipo Village to the town to work as handymen for wealthy families. This Lin Nankui was born a bad seed. I didn't do many good things from childhood to adulthood, but I did a lot of bad things such as digging up the graves of widows, kicking the widows' doors, and abducting and stealing from the pits. Lin Nankui also made a group of fox friends in the society, self-proclaimed as the gang leader, led his ruffians and hooligans to do evil all day long, bullying men and women, and often being robbed by them, and was a group of scourges that everyone in the town feared. Since Lin Nankui spent money to buy a town security captain's errand, he has become even more unscrupulous.

Lin Nankui's father also opened a hotel in the town, but his inn was not in a good location, and his son had a bad reputation, so the inn was a black shop that stabbed customers, and its business was far worse than the Guangdong Hotel with iron abacus. Lin Nankui's father was first envious of the booming business of the Guangdong Hotel, then jealous and then hateful, and was bent on bringing it down. Lin Nankui spends countless days and nights, and he also wants to turn the prosperous Yuehai Hotel into his own money box.

Lin Nankui first bribed the tax director in the town, and the tax director then sent people to the Yuehai Hotel to check the tax twice in three days, and framed the Yuehai Hotel for tax evasion, and gave Lin Nancai a large fine. Iron abacus has always been cautious, and he didn't know that he had provoked the king of Hades, so he had to consider himself unlucky, and he not only paid the fine in full, but also honored the tax commissioner with some money in order to ensure his future safety. After receiving the money, the tax commissioner accused Lin Nancai of bribing government officials, and the iron abacus understood that the tax commissioner was disgusted with the lack of money, so he had to stuff another sum of money into him to end the matter.

Not long after the tax evasion turmoil, Lin Nankui led the security team to break into the Guangdong Hotel, insisting that the Guangdong Hotel harbored bandits wanted by the government, and they turned the hotel upside down after driving all the guests out of the hotel. After that, there were often ruffians and hooligans in front of the door of the Guangdong Hotel to harass and make trouble, beating and scolding the guests staying in the hotel, and most of the business travelers who came and went from then on did not dare to stay in the Guangdong Hotel. Just when the iron abacus was at a loss, Lin Nankui's father opened a new Xinglong Hotel next to the Guangdong Hotel. This Xinglong Hotel not only has guest rooms, but also operates teahouses and casinos, and Lin Nanhui also found some prostitutes to stand at the door of the hotel all day long and scratch their heads and gesture to solicit business. For a time, Xinglong Hotel became the most prosperous hotel in the town, while the adjacent Guangdong Hotel was squeezed to the point of closing. The iron abacus couldn't provoke Lin Nankui to sell the hostel, but no one wanted to buy the hostel on the verge of closing, so Lin Nancai had no choice but to live in silence.

Although the iron abacus doesn't want to cause trouble, he swallows all the bitter water in his stomach, but this Lin Nanhui is a good man who dances with guns and sticks, and he is also a master who can't tolerate bullying by others on weekdays, and he has always wanted to vent this evil breath for his eldest brother. Lin Nanhui had studied martial arts, and he knew that no matter how strong his martial arts were, he couldn't fight Lin Nankui's group, so he decided to find an opportunity to fight Lin Nankui alone. For this reason, Lin Nanhui walks around Lin Nankui's door every day. Waiting for Lin Nankui's opportunity to leave home alone.

Lin Nankui always has a few entourages to follow when he walks around the town on weekdays, even at home, there are fox friends and dog friends coming and going, and there is rarely a person who travels alone, and one day Lin Nanhui will wait for him to get out of the house alone. This morning, Lin Nanhui saw Lin Nankui wearing a black security uniform, swaying his body and swaggering out of the house, so he walked up head-on, and he blocked Lin Nankui's way with his hands on his waist. Lin Nankui was very angry when he saw someone blocking the way, and he scolded: "Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!" ”

Lin Nanhui grabbed Lin Nankui's neck and said, "Rotten boy, you are the dog!" ”

Lin Nankui, who is used to being powerful on weekdays, never imagined that someone in Haitou Town would dare to be so rude to him! He was furious. While scolding, he broke the other party's hand hard, but the other party's hand was like an iron tong holding him tightly, and he couldn't break free even if he tried his best to feed. Lin Nankui had no choice but to stop breaking free and asked Lin Nanhui in a threatening tone: "What do you want to do?" Don't you know who Lao Tzu is? ”

Lin Nanhui smiled contemptuously: "Who doesn't know you Lin Nankui, aren't you just a hooligan and a rotten boy!" As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Nankui's neck tighter, and Lin Nankui was so suffocated that he could barely breathe.

Lin Nankui knew that he had met someone who was not easy to deal with, so he hurriedly changed to a kind tone and said: "Please let go, please tell me who you are, our brothers have something to say." ”

Lin Nanhui said: "You don't know me, I know you." We're cousins. ”

Lin Nankui rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to say that, I guess you are from Shipo Village." ”

"You guessed it right, I'm Lin Nanhui from Shipo Village, and Lin Nancai is my eldest brother." He picked up Lin Nankui like a chicken and let go. Lin Nankui couldn't stand on his feet, and he took several steps backwards before he stabilized himself. As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, and this hooligan who is usually not afraid of anything is a little afraid of Lin Nanhui who has a fierce look in front of him at this time.

Lin Nanhui approached again at this time, and he asked, "Did you collapse the Yuehai Hotel opened by my brother?" ”

At this time, Lin Nankui had come to his senses, and he returned to his usual arrogance. He pointed to Lin Nanhui's nose with one hand and the other and said, "Let me tell you, Lin Nancai's hostel evaded taxes and harbored bandits. He is to blame for the collapse of his business! I see that in the face of my fellow clan, I was already very polite if I didn't arrest him in prison. ”

"You're planting! It's clear that your family is robbing my family's business, and you're spewing blood! In a hurry, he grabbed Lin Nankui's neck again.

Lin Nankui's face was flushed with anger, and he shouted hoarsely: "How can I, the security captain, allow you to bully, let go quickly!" Otherwise, I'll call for someone to arrest you!" ”

Lin Nanhui let go and said: "You are the captain of the security guard, I can't afford to provoke you because of the overwhelming number of people, today I want to fight with you alone, let's make a gentleman's agreement: if I lose to you, my family's Yuehai Hotel will be given to you for nothing, and I will never do business in the town from now on, if you lose to me, your family's Xinglong Hotel will be closed immediately, what do you think?" ”

This Lin Nankui is also a martial arts practitioner since childhood, and has a ruthlessness that is not afraid of heaven and earth, he has not met an opponent in Haitou Town, he heard that Lin Nanhui wanted to compete with himself in martial arts, he couldn't help snickering in his heart, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay!" That's a good idea! But you have to talk! I won you today, tomorrow I will go to collect your family's Guangdong Hotel, if I lose you, my family's Xinglong Hotel will close early tomorrow morning! ”

Lin Nanhui said happily: "No problem, let's follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

When the two of them were talking, some people around them watched the excitement one after another, and Lin Nankui said to the people around him: "Folks, you have heard what this kid said, if he is cheating, you will give me a testimony!" Someone in the crowd nodded in resignation. Lin Nanhui didn't say anything, he just smiled with confidence. Then Lin Nanhui and Lin Nankui took off their shirts and went bare, and found a spacious place in the alley to face each other.

As soon as the two of them fought, Lin Nanhui knew that he was underestimating his opponent. Lin Nanhui played Shaolin boxing, his boxing style was wide open and tiger-like, and Lin Nankui played Nanquan, his boxing was compact, fast, flexible, ruthless, boxing elbows and knees were used together, and the move was forced to Lin Nanhui's life, at first Lin Nanhui was not very suitable for Lin Nankui's boxing, only the ability to parry, almost no power to fight back, and suffered several heavy blows from the opponent. After all, Lin Nanhui is a person with profound martial arts skills, and in the ensuing fight, he gradually stabilized his mentality, saw Lin Nankui's moves, and basically stood on his feet.

Lin Nanhui is nearly ten years younger than Lin Nankui, young and strong, Lin Nankui is usually greedy for wine, and his physical strength is not as strong as Lin Nanhui. The two of you come and go, and it's hard to separate. Lin Nanhui saw that there were more and more onlookers, and he was afraid that Lin Nankui's fox friends and dog friends would come to help, so he wanted to end the competition quickly. He kicked Lin Nankui with the force of his whip leg, but he fell to the ground due to the slipping of the soles of his feet. The panting Lin Nankui knew that his physical strength was not as good as that of his opponent and he wanted to knock the opponent down as soon as possible, so he saw that there was an opportunity to take a step forward, raised his foot and stepped Lin Nanhui's chest. Who knew that this was a flaw that Lin Nanhui deliberately sold, he saw that his opponent was fooled and secretly applauded, he lay on the ground and swept Lin Nankui to the ground with a neat leg scissors, and then stood up with a carp himself, "Okay!" The onlookers applauded Lin Nanhui in unison. At this time, Lin Nankui, who fell to the ground, rolled on the spot and stood up, Lin Nanhui took advantage of his not yet standing firmly, stepped forward and had another heart-warming foot, this kick kicked Lin Nankui out several meters away, Lin Nankui was kicked in the lower abdomen by Lin Nanhui, and the pain made him roll on the ground holding his lower body. Lin Nanhui stepped forward and raised his fist and asked, "Are you convinced?" If you are not convinced, you can compete with me for a few more rounds, brother, I will accompany you to the end! ”

Lin Nankui felt that it was better for a hero not to eat the immediate losses, so he had to say repeatedly: "Stop being a hero, I'll take it, don't fight!" ”

"Good! Then please follow our gentleman's agreement! Your Xinglong Hotel will close early tomorrow morning! After Lin Nanhui finished speaking, he put on the posture of a victor and walked away with his head held high.

Lin Nanhui returned to the Guangdong Hotel with satisfaction, and he told his brother that the Xinglong Hotel next to it would have to close early tomorrow morning, and our Guangdong Hotel would have to regroup. Iron Abacus didn't understand his brother's words and thought there was something wrong with his nerves. Lin Nanhui saw that his brother didn't believe him, so he completely described the bet with Lin Nankui to his brother, and the iron abacus was shocked after hearing it! persuade the younger brother to leave the town and return to Shipo Village to take refuge. Lin Nanhui was puzzled by this.

Lin Nanhui said that this Lin Nankui is a local bully, not a gentleman, where is there integrity at all? If you beat him today, you stabbed the hornet's nest, he has power, a gun and a man, and he will come to you to settle accounts immediately! Not only will our hostel not be opened at all, but that guy will take the opportunity to extort us again.

Lin Nanhui only understood the seriousness of the matter when he heard his brother say this. As expected, Lin Nanhui was just about to run back to Shipo Village, and Lin Nankui had already surrounded the Yuehai Hotel with the security team.

Lin Nankui captured Lin Nanhui, took off the plaque of the Guangdong Hotel, and announced in front of everyone that the Guangdong Hotel would be owned by him in the future. When he arrested Lin Nanhui, he said to the iron abacus: "You are limited to three days to take the money to ransom people, and if you don't redeem it after the expiration date, you will bear the consequences!" ”

Back in the security team, Lin Nankui personally whipped Lin Nanhui violently, and threw Lin Nanhui into the dark water prison after relieving his anger. Lin Nanhui was in prison and regretted, regretting that he had good intentions but ruined his own hotel, and hated Lin Nankui, a kid who was not righteous, and thought that he must settle accounts with him when he comes out one day!
