Chapter 6: At Your Feet
Yang Chen only nodded his head lightly in response to the shouts around him, restrained, low-key, and unassuming, more or less revealing the maturity that he should not have at his age, bringing an unfathomable intuitive impression to the onlookers in the night market in the square.
The fierceness of the stone gang that has been stained by years of fighting, killing, and killing in the rivers and lakes is not only shocking, but also terrifying, and makes people feel ashamed of themselves.
What is a mixed society?
The stones are the most standard answer.
"Yangzi, what's going on?" Stone asked his buddy at the same time, squinting at a few strange guys, and he had already guessed what was going on.
Yang Chen smiled indifferently: "It's okay, let them go." ”
The stone shrugged helplessly, understanding the small temperament, there is no need to be more serious, there is no need to care about the person, never waste even a little bit of energy, when it should be endured, can endure it, Uncle Zhang, who has trained them for many years, said that this is the potential of the hero, not the root bone of the thing in the pool, the stone is really not learned, bowed his head and lit a cigarette, and unwillingly left a rolling word at a few calves who were about to be scared of stupidity, Huang Mao and the others were relieved and left as if they were fleeing.
Panic is like a lost dog.
Sensei said that he was arrogant just now, and several calves didn't dare to show even a little bit of unwillingness expression.
"Your kid was admitted to the first middle school, it's really good, grandma said that you have a good life in our old courtyard, and the old man said that he was accurate, I went to the neighboring province for Boss Tan two days ago to collect a sum of money, and I didn't celebrate you in time, make up for it today, let's have a few drinks." The stone smiled heroically and was really happy for Fa Xiao.
The macho men and women next to him also shouted that they would not get drunk and not return.
Yang Chen nodded and smiled, the stone said that Boss Tan, Tan Jianguo, the top social brother in Xinfeng City, this person's history of struggle is more legendary than Zhu San, another top fierce man in Xinfeng, because he was born from the grassroots and started from scratch, but Yang Chen is not interested in this, and mixing society is a crooked road after all.
A crooked path means that there are too many risks and uncontrollable factors.
And Yang Chen, who grew up in a difficult environment, regards his life as a building that is accurately calculated and cannot be rebuilt, and does not allow the slightest error, so no matter how prosperous he is in the ninth middle school, he always has a bottom line in his heart, restrains himself, and does not let his life path deviate in the slightest.
It's a pity that Stone always says he has his ideas.
The stone asked, "Yang Zi, where are you going?" ”
Yang Chen pointed to the open-air barbecue stall on the side of the square, and said with a smile: "It's here, save money and affordability, and the atmosphere is good." ”
The surrounding group of "Tan Family" Ma Tsai who followed the stone immediately shouted no, how could it be so shabby to celebrate Brother Chen, and the stone waved his hand and said, "Yang Zi said here, just here." ”
More than a dozen big and three thick men immediately shut up.
These rebellious men who are three or five years older than the stone obey the stone, not all because the stone is the most capable "head horse" under Boss Tan's hands, and the stone is righteous enough enough for the style of the masters, which makes them even more admired.
According to Yang Chen's meaning, everyone chose a nearby open-air barbecue stall, men and women seventeen or eighteen, occupying three round tables, as soon as they sat down, the surrounding guests trembled as if they were conditioned, and they checked out in advance and left after eating.
It seems that a barbecue stall run by a family of four, more than a dozen round tables will soon be left only with Yang Chen's group, and the proprietress who is responsible for ordering and checking out the dishes and serving the wine secretly complains, but she must be greeted warmly with a smiling face.
However, the stone's words made the proprietress overjoyed.
"I've got you covered this tonight, and the beer skewer tube is enough, three thousand yuan, is it enough?"
The proprietress came back to her senses, nodded vigorously, and said enough on her lips, and her hanging heart immediately fell, glad that these men who looked at the fierce man were not bad-hearted.
The younger generation of the people in Xinfeng City, only the seventeen-year-old stone is the most notorious, but this fierce animal never bullies the weak, robs the students' money, beats the elderly, and plays prestige with the stall vendors.
"I'll respect Brother Chen first."
Someone stood up with a beer bottle in his hand and stared at Yang Chen with a sincere smile.
This person Yang Chenshu, a stone henchman, nicknamed Huzi, has been in Shaolin Martial Arts School for a few years, can fight, dare to fight, Yang Chen smiled slightly, raised the wine bottle, after the two of them touched the bottle, they poured wine with their heads high, a heroic mess, it seemed that the two of them were going to pour the whole bottle of beer in one go.
The atmosphere was instantly warm, and the applause rang out.
More than a dozen reckless men all stared at Yang Chen with a slightly respectful look, and they really applauded.
Once they underestimated Brother Chen, who showed a typical student temperament in front of them, and they couldn't understand why the stone was serving this guy, until last year, their brothers were neatly put down on the small boxing ring in the gym by Yang Chen one after another, and they were convinced that they had always respected the strong.
After three rounds of drinking, these heroic gentlemen set off the atmosphere to **, Huzi couldn't help but slap the table and sing, the tone was not very standard, not to mention the perfect hoarse singing voice aroused the blood of everyone present, and even the stone that ran away seriously when singing also sang.
What is justice?
Which is invincible.
It is difficult to determine right and wrong.
Which has the right to decide.
Heaven and earth can bear witness.
No matter what the background.
Maybe one shot, it will control the world.
Even as soon as he opened his mouth, the air trembled.
The classic tracks in "Invincible" were roared out with a striking sonorous momentum by a group of inaccurate Jianghu grasses, and Yang Chen, who was the youngest and most stable and deep among the people present, was stirred in his heart, and his blood was boiling, and the last two sentences of the lyrics were not exactly their dreams?
Dreams, always suppress the dreams in the bottom of the heart.
It's almost obscenity, so ridiculous and unrealistic.
Yang Chen silently looked around at the hot-blooded men who were singing and forgetting their feelings, his eyes swept over the rough and confident faces, his heart trembled, they were still full of hope for the future, full of confidence, how could he be pessimistic, the dignified man did not fight towards his dream, and wasted his life.
Yang Chen thought about it, and drank the wine in the cup silently, with a trace of imperceptible perseverance in his eyes.
Late at night, the barbecue stall cups and plates were messy, more than a dozen fierce men dispersed, Yang Chen and Shi returned to the old courtyard, the so-called old courtyard, is Yang Chen was born and carried childhood memories of an old courtyard, the courtyard is dilapidated and messy, here is not as expensive as the courtyard in the second ring of the capital, it was characterized as a shantytown at the beginning of the year.
Hundred-year-old courtyard, eight households, there are those who support their families by setting up stalls, and there are those who pedal three wheels as stevedores, all of them are at the bottom of the society and the flat-headed people, who are really worthy of the name of "shantytown", which symbolizes poverty, since his parents rented a restaurant to open a restaurant, Yang Chen returned to the old courtyard to live in a decrease year by year, but his family's 20 square meters of small house is still clean, it is said that the Xinfeng government began to vigorously transform the shantytown this year, and the small house of 20 square meters can be replaced with a one-bedroom building, and the parents are on the heart, and come back to clean every three or five days.
The stone, who was dependent on his grandmother, was afraid of disturbing the old man and affecting the rest of the neighbors, so he didn't knock on his door, and went directly into Yang Chen's house, the two of them squeezed a bed, just lay down, and the knock sounded, accompanied by the old man's kind voice, "Stone, Chenchen, grandma left you dumplings, you play until the middle of the night, it is estimated that you are also hungry, eat something and then sleep." ”
Yang Chen hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, Grandma Shi leaned over and sent a plate of dumplings that were still hot, seeing Yang Chen catching the porcelain plate, the old man's wrinkled old face was full of satisfied smiles, and repeatedly told the two children to eat and go to bed early before turning around and walking towards his home.
Rickets' back.
Staggering steps.
Yang Chen stared at it for a long time, inexplicably sad, closed the door and locked it, put the dumplings on the old coffee table that was some years old, turned his face, and said to the stone in a serious tone: "Stone, for grandma, for yourself, you do something else, now this road is not good, a lifetime will be over, do you want grandma to be afraid of you every day?" ”
The stone was silent, and the rough face that did not match his age changed slightly, and he could see the guilt and bitterness in it, but he finally calmed down, and said slowly: "Yang Zi, just because you are a person who does great things, you don't want to take this crooked road and can't walk, so I have to go down." ”
Yang Chen was stunned, and for the first time, he couldn't see through it, and he wore open crotch pants to play with big hair.
Two years ago, the night he was drunk and didn't return, Yang Chen rushed into the old house with thick smoke and flames regardless of the danger, and rescued his grandmother who was choked by the smoke and almost died in the fire, at that time he vowed that even if he lost his life, he would open up a world for his good brothers, and do what he couldn't do for his good brothers to take the road that they couldn't walk!
"Don't you have any other ideals in your life?" Yang Chen hated that iron could not become steel and asked.
"Yes, at your feet, looking up at you." The stone replied with great seriousness.
