Chapter 48: First encounter with Minting
Yuan Peng stood on top of the ring, took off his gloves, stretched out his hands and stepped out. Reaching out with both hands, he fended off Franklin's punch and turned to dodge a punch that took a few punches from Franklin's jaw. At the same time, Franklin punched him in the face, Yuan Peng jumped up and punched him in the air, and when he fell, he kicked straight to the crotch, and took a few steps back to dodge to make Franklin punch into the air. Yuan Peng took a few steps back and stretched out his hands and stepped out, trying to attack or dodge, and suddenly kicked Franklin's crotch and stepped back to dodge. Observing Yuan Peng's outstretched foot, he suddenly jumped up and kicked it up, knocking it down. There was a burst of shouting from the audience, but Brother Chao sat in the crowd and watched quietly, which was particularly heavy. Franklin got up and looked under the ring, punching back, and Yuan Peng stretched out his hands to suppress both fists, looking around for a target to attack. Franklin, who was tall and long-handed, knocked Yuan Peng down with one punch. Yuan Peng stood up, and Franklin went straight up and punched him in the lower abdomen, and the left and right hooks knocked Yuan Peng down again. Yuan Peng grabbed the barricade with both hands, stood up, turned around and kicked Franklin sideways and retreated, jumped out and kicked Franklin to his knees, then dodged and jumped backwards, jumped and punched his head, and when he fell, he raised his kick and kicked back, knocking Franklin over and rolling over, and when he fell, he punched him straight to the throat. Yuan Peng rolled up and pressed down with his crutches, grabbed Franklin's arm with both hands and pressed down hard to stop him. Franklin struggled hard, slowly broke free of Yuan Peng's hands, and threw a punch to knock Yuan Peng down. Yuan Peng grabbed the rope with both hands and slowly got up, Franklin stepped forward and punched and kicked, and then threw a punch straight into his face, making Yuan Peng's face red, swollen and deformed. A punch hit him in the face, Yuan Peng quickly stepped back, jumped over the barricade and fell off the ring, it took a long time to stand up, step into the ring, jump in the air and kick Franklin out of the ring and fall on the ring, both hands were very difficult to lift Franklin up, throw him off the ring. At this time, Franklin got up and stood up, stood under the stage and looked at Yuan Peng on the stage, but he did not admit defeat and rushed forward to grab Yuan Peng's legs, dragged down the ring, and then dragged out a chair in the audience to hit his head, Yuan Peng covered his head with both hands, and the chair suddenly fell apart. Yuan Peng rolled out and stood, his arm cut through the skin, and his blood flowed down. Franklin pressed straight and punched out, Yuan Peng dodged the fist wind and forced a hand to poke his throat, poking out a hand into a fist and slamming it, only to see Franklin covering his neck with both hands, his face was flushed, and the green tendons at his temples were rising, and he never stood up again after he fell. Yuan Peng staggered in front of Brother Chao with a box of money, and said, "Brother Chao, this is the principal of 200,000 yuan, and I can pay it back later." Without waiting for Brother Chao to speak, Yuan Peng turned around and left, walking out of the bar.
When Yuan Peng slowly walked out of the bar, it was already dark. A woman followed out of the bar and stood at the door. It was raining heavily in the sky, and she looked at Yuan Peng standing in the heavy rain, but she couldn't step forward, only standing silently by the door of the bar. At this time, Yuan Peng's body was extremely tired, and his walking body was staggering, or moving forward slowly, and finally fell in the heavy rain. Yuan Peng lay on the ground, his eyes looking at the night sky, and the rain fell, wetting his face. The woman stood in front of Yuan Peng with an umbrella, squatted down and picked up Yuan Peng in her arms, and said, "Hey, wake up, you can't sleep here." ”
Yuan Peng opened his eyes slightly, everything in front of him was already blurry, and he was unable to stand up again. The woman exclaimed, "Hey, hey," then looked around, put down Yuan Peng, stood on the side of the road, and then called a taxi. The taxi stopped in front of Yuan Peng, and the driver poked his head out of the window and asked, "Girl, who is this man?" ”
"He's my husband, drunk," the woman said as she lifted Yuan Peng.
Then he opened the car door, helped Yuan Peng to the seat, and sat next to Yuan Peng. At this time, Yuan Peng fell on top of his seat, and his body was difficult to support. After the driver turned around, he said, "It's all drunk like this, how much alcohol did your husband drink?" ”
The woman smiled a little awkwardly: "Not much." ”
The driver looked at Yuan Peng carefully, at this time Yuan Peng's face was red and swollen and deformed, there were blood stains from the corners of his eyes, and there was blood on his arms in his mouth, and said, "I see that your husband not only drank a lot of wine, but also fought with others." ”
"Why are you driving your car and asking so much?" At this time, the woman said impatiently.
The driver turned around and said, "Young people, don't be so impulsive, don't be so impetuous when you encounter problems, and deal with it calmly." After listening to the driver's words, the woman thought that this was reasonable, so she nodded. The driver, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"To the port community."
The taxi quickly arrived at the port community and stopped, and after the woman paid the money, she helped Yuan Peng into the community. At this time, Yuan Peng's legs were already weak, and after entering the hall, he rented a room, carried Yuan Peng upstairs to enter this room, and collapsed on the bed. The woman sat next to the bed, looked at Yuan Peng lying on the bed, then walked out of the room and went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of alcohol and cotton swabs, walked into the room, and took off his clothes and pants. Yuan Peng lay naked on the bed, only boxer briefs remained, looking at him covered in bruises, took out a cotton swab dipped in some alcohol, applied it to the wound and rubbed it gently, and after a long time, she covered him with a quilt, she sat on the chair next to her, her head rested on the bedside and fell asleep.
Before dawn, Yuan Kun got up very early, walked to Yuan Peng's bed, and saw that his bed was still empty, so he knew that he didn't come back last night, and he didn't know where he went last night? was very angry at first, and then said, "it." "Drag out the helmet under the bed and get out of this room. On his way to work, when he saw the crowd walking in front of him, he chased after him and asked, "Didn't Da Pan come back with you last night?" ”
"Uncle, I'm afraid Yuan Peng won't be able to come to work today."
Yuan Kun was a little anxious and worried after hearing this, and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"He, he," Da Pan pondered for a long time before saying, "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, Yuan Peng went to fight yesterday and was injured, so he can't come today." ”
"He's injured, not serious," Yuan Kun said in surprise.
"Yuan Peng, he's fine, and he's not seriously injured."
"The boy just didn't obey, and when he came back to see me, I didn't give him a few words," and then they went into the construction site together and continued to work. After the rain, the sun rises, and the sun shines on the construction site, giving it a kind of heating. On this construction site, these workers are in full swing, setting up a shelf, he climbs on the shelf, transports the steel bars to the workers above, and the workers above take the steel bars with both hands and put them aside. Then, the foreman walked into the construction site wearing a helmet, stood under the erected shelf, registered one by one, and calculated the month's salary and living expenses. When he was young, Yuan Kun looked at the book registered by the foreman and used it as a comparison. Then he stood behind the foreman and said, "**, Yuan Peng has some things today, I'll help him ask for leave." ”
"Well, I know, you go down to work," the foreman nodded lightly after listening to Yuan Kun's words.
Yuan Kun retired and went to work, although it was autumn, it was still so hot in Shanghai, they stood on the shelf and twisted the tie to fix it, and the sweat beads on their foreheads were dripping down one by one, like raindrops. At this time, Yuan Peng was still lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, looked around, it was obvious that this was in a hotel room, and looked at the woman in front of him, and said in surprise: "Who are you?" ”
"Minting, call me Tingting in the future," the woman said with a very strong Shaanxi accent.
"You're from Shaanxi," Yuan Peng could tell from her accent that she was from Shaanxi, so he asked.
"Well, yes, I'm from Weinan, Shaanxi, where are you?"
"I'm from Sichuan," Yuan Peng looked at the room and asked, "Where am I?" ”
"That's right, yesterday you were injured in a fight, and you fell outside the door of the bar, and you don't know where you work, so you had to call a taxi and rent a room in a nearby hotel," Min Ting paused for a moment and said, "We are in the port community. ”
Yuan Peng just nodded, and felt some pain in his body, lifted the cover to look at himself, and covered the cover again, his face suddenly turned red and smiled a little embarrassed: "You and I were in the same room last night." ”
"I've been a man since I was a child, my family didn't treat me as a woman, I never cared about the so-called mundane concepts, I just turned around and didn't look at you," after speaking, Min Ting turned around and said, "Actually, I'm quite optimistic about you, you will definitely work hard, look at every action you fight is imprinted in my mind, it's quite chic," Min Ting's voice just fell, and he heard Yuan Peng behind him, and said, "Okay, you can turn around." When Min Ting turned around, Yuan Peng was already dressed and standing in front of her.
"Actually, these are some three-legged cats' kung fu, which is useless," then patted the bed and looked at Min Ting who was standing in front of him, and said, "You haven't fallen asleep last night, or you can sleep for a while," Indeed, Min Ting took care of Yuan Peng for a night, and she didn't sleep well, and yawned a few times as she spoke, and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while," and then went to the bed after speaking. Yuan Peng stood up and said, "You can sleep for a while, I'll go downstairs first and bring some food, what do you eat?" ”
"Bring some casually, bring two more beers, and we'll have a few drinks," Min Ting just nodded lightly and said.
"Okay," the woman was born with three points of alcohol, and after meeting Min Ting today, this sentence was not bad at all. Yuan Peng picked up the key placed on the table, turned around and walked out of this room, and went downstairs and walked out of this hotel. This is a small town, close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are many fishing boats on the sea, fishermen go out to sea to fish early and return late, there are no residents outside this town, except for a few construction sites is a barren area, surrounded by weeds. Yuan Peng walked into a restaurant, and the owner of the store came up and said, "Guy, what kind of dishes to eat?" Then take out the menu. Yuan Peng took the menu and ordered a few dishes casually, and said, "Just these few dishes, take two more bottles of beer and take them away." ”
"Okay, please wait," and the shopkeeper walked into the kitchen and stir-fried the food.
Yuan Peng found a place to sit down and looked around, and then walked in and shouted to a few workers: "Boss, fry a few dishes." He stepped forward and sat down, putting his helmet aside. The boss walked out, greeted him with a smile, and said, "What kind of dishes do you order?" Then he handed out the menu.
These workers took the menu, looked at the menu and said, "Back to the pot meat, scrambled eggs with leeks," and then handed it to a few workers next to them, and said, "Do you think you want to order those dishes?" ”
"Plum cabbage button meat, fried shredded potatoes, green vegetable soup, that's it."
"Okay, please wait a minute, and serve it right away." The boss put away the menu and went into the kitchen to stir-fry. One of them stepped forward and brought some beers. They drank wine, smoked cigarettes, and chatted, which made the restaurant a lot noisier for a while.
