Chapter 1: The Wedge is a Messy Life
Although I am very reluctant to believe it, the saying "there are nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life" is still true. Looking through my experience for more than ten years, oh my God, it's no different from an ordinary person's life. I have to admit that I, Yu Ke, am really not an extraordinary person.
Of course, my life only began when I escaped from the orphanage at the age of seven, and before that, I was either unable to take care of myself or at the mercy of others. In my cognition, life that can't be your own decisions is in vain, and after I escaped based on this belief, I met my life mentor, whom I called Master, taught me some rules of survival, and then was slashed more than a dozen times in a gang fire, and hung up without even leaving me a last word. I dug a pit and buried him, and I wanted to put a piece of wood as a monument, but I found that there were two problems, one was that I couldn't even write my own name, and the other was that I didn't know Master's full name at all. So I had to kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, which was to repay him for the kindness of my acquaintance when I was seven years old, and then suddenly felt a little sad, if I died, I would be like Master, and I would not even have a tombstone. In the peaceful and prosperous era, in this city of Xi'an, some people cry and some laugh, but no one cares about the life or death of my little gangster.
Hey, to be a line of dedication, to be a gangster should be like a leading brother. I made a wish against Master's teachings, felt a little ashamed, turned around and stumbled away.
Soon I became a celebrity in front of my eldest brother, and the price I paid was to lose a hand. It was done during a fight, and he blocked a knife for his eldest brother, and he couldn't lift his left hand anymore. When I was dying in pain, I saw my eldest brother pat me on the back, and I cried so much that I felt that even if I took my life, it was worth it.
Half of my wish has been fulfilled, and the direct manifestation of the villain's ambition is to be powerful. Actually, I don't think I've done too much, I saved my eldest brother's life, and I lost my left hand, so I have to give it back. Those little thugs at the bottom, how dare they not take me seriously? One day, a younger brother came to find the eldest brother, and when I saw his disdainful eyes, I didn't fight in one place, so I raised my foot and gave him a look, and directly told him to kneel, and he didn't dare to snort.
The other half of the wish is a little difficult, I don't have the prestige of taking the lead brother, so I don't dare to mess around. But ambition is like grass, when the wind blows, it grows and grows more luxuriantly, and it can't be suppressed at all. I'm a little smart, and my big brother also dotes on me, sometimes I squint at him and think he's just a fool, how can such a person be qualified to be a big brother? It's better for me Yu Ke to do it. Oh, by the way, since I followed my eldest brother, I haven't learned anything else, and I've learned a lot more words.
A gangster who doesn't want to be a gangster is not a good gangster. I also have three or five brothers under my command, a few machetes, and with my Yu Ke's extraordinary excellence, I will definitely be able to do great things. But this thought is that several years have passed, although I follow the eldest brother to eat and drink spicy, but I always feel unhappy - I will be taught a lesson if I make a little mistake, and my eldest brother will be angry with me when he is in a bad mood. What have I become? Except for the freedom to teach the younger brother, there is nothing else, only a scrapped arm and a few catties of fat that can't be sold.
The life of the city lights seems colorful, but in fact, it is the same. After admitting that I wasn't extraordinary, I learned two things, drinking and pickling girls. One day I came out of the bar in a drunken daze, staggering and not knowing where to go, and happened to meet a beautiful girl. This little sister is very good-looking, and of course it could be because I'm too drunk and just know that. I reached out and pinched her cheek, and she ran back in fright, how could I let her run? Catching up, of course.
However...... But...... I only chased after the intersection, and I was blocked back, and I was so scared that I almost threw up.
A machete was against my stomach, the cold blade made me tremble, it was useless for me to retreat, the machete was still straight against my stomach, but the person holding the knife was none other than the eldest brother.
"Boy, you dare to tease my sister?" Big Brother Sensen said and looked at me directly, "I usually don't teach you well, but today I will discipline you well." ”
When I think about Master's fate, don't I feel that I have regressed again and again, I am only in my early twenties, and I haven't lived long enough? Thinking of his lofty ambitions again, he shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't need you to teach you a lesson!" "Turn around and run. Hey, thirty-six plans are the best plan, and what Master once said is still true.
Just as I turned around and ran for less than two steps, I suddenly felt a chill on my back, and then a piercing pain hit me, which gradually spread and became less painful. My alcohol was surging, and although I felt that my strength was leaking out a little bit, it was still much bigger than usual, and it was of course important to save my life if I didn't run. Ironically, among the people chasing me behind me, there were three or five brothers under my subordinates who usually mingled with me, and my dream of becoming a big brother was shattered.
Yu Ke, Yu Ke, do you still have time to think about these when you are running for your life, do you still want to live? I began to feel the pain in my back again, I felt that my clothes were wet, and the sound of chasing behind me was getting farther and farther away, and then I looked around, a small dark alley, and it was still foggy, I had never been afraid of the sky, and I couldn't help but feel creepy when I saw my situation.
Hey, probably retribution, my legs fell to the ground with weak legs, and the scene of Master's death flashed in my mind, covered in blood, and I couldn't even speak. When Master died, I helped him collect his body, and if I die now, who will help me collect it? That day at Master's grave, I thought that one day I would be the boss, and now I don't even have to be the younger brother. Master's words still make sense - the most important thing in being a man is to be happy, to know how to accept what is good, not everyone is suitable to be the boss, people like us, if you want to live a little longer, your ambition should not be so big.
But Master is still short-lived, and my ambition has not had time to be revealed, so the game is over? No! I shook my groggy head and desperately stood up, walked towards the faint light, walked crookedly for a few steps and fell to the ground, a little embarrassed, but it didn't matter, I turned over and saw the sky bright, I damn it! It seems that Lao Tzu is really going to hang, and he actually began to hallucinate, today is not the fifteenth, why is the moon so round. I raised my right hand, which I could move, rubbed my eyes, and looked closely, hell! There are just a few stars in the sky, and they are moving.
Is that what it feels like to spin around? I didn't feel dizzy, and the pain in my back gradually disappeared, I just felt very sleepy, but it didn't seem good to sleep on the floor, and it was a little cold...... Damn, it's August summer, and this is Xi'an, even in the middle of the night, it can heat the dog to death, and Lao Tzu will feel cold?
Before I could finish thinking about the question, I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, my back started to hurt hotly, but ...... I remember that I slept on the ground, was it so soft? I fell asleep lying down, did I turn over while sleeping? Someone else stuffed me with a pillow?
Hey? No, it's not a pillow! What is it? The moment I opened my eyes, I was blinded, and it wasn't so bright in broad daylight. Don't let people sleep well? I tried to drag up the soft mattress in front of me and cover my head, but when I raised my hand, I found that something was even more wrong, my hand ...... grabbed a small horn, turned his head and looked, which little hairy boy this hand belonged to?
I moved my hand, and the little hand followed suit, and I clenched my fist, and that hand clenched into a fist, and I ...... No way!
Before I could get out of my mouth, I heard a noisy footstep and someone shouted, "The eldest son is awake!" The eldest prince is awake! ”
I turned my head to look around, only to find that things were beyond my expectations, the candle that Lao Tzu had only seen in the TV series was so thick that it was lit brightly on the candlestick, and there was not a single light bulb in such a bright room. The first woman I saw when I opened my eyes was actually wearing an ancient dress, and her hair was pulled up, so high that she could poke people to death. Which crew did Lao Tzu enter by mistake? If you think about it, it's not right, can the TV series make me like this?
It's just weird!
"Eldest Prince, is your wound still painful?" A deathly crisp sound sounded in my ears that almost melted my bones. Although Lao Tzu is not a good man, he is a man no matter how he says, how can he admit it in front of a woman? Even if it hurts, I can only say that it doesn't hurt.
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
No way! What the hell is this little bunny talking? The whole room was quiet, only a milky child's voice buzzed in the room, and there was no second person to speak?!
Then there was a chuckle: "Good boy, it's good to lie down, the doctor said that the injury has not healed, and you are not allowed to move, you know?" I don't know when another woman sat next to the bed, looking at me with a smile on her face, and touching my head after speaking.
What to touch? Lao Tzu's head is also something you can touch? I turned my head, the woman sitting on the edge of the bed helped me put the quilt together, the woman who called me the eldest son before brought a cup and put it to my mouth, I suddenly realized that I was very thirsty on my own, licked my lips, and drank a glass of liquid, there was a faint fragrance, delicious, well, very good.
Drinking water can quench my thirst, but what can solve my problem of becoming a sesame seed-sized kid? When I was younger, that is, seven or eight years old, it was the hardest time of my life, and I didn't want to start all over again. But how did I become a child again?
If you think about it carefully, apart from a bright moon and a few stars spinning around, the only feeling is that you want to sleep as much as you do now, maybe it's just a dream? But the most bizarre dream I've ever had was to be the head of a gangster, and I couldn't have been more bizarre than I am now!
The woman who touched my head continued, "The eldest prince is asleep, so go down too." Rong'er, you watch carefully here, for fear that he will have another fever. ”
It turned out that the woman who fed me water was called Rong'er, and my thoughts flew to 108,000 miles - could it be that I had shit luck like Guo Jing and met Huang Rong? No, Huang Rong is not a person who can serve people!
The person called Rong'er replied "yes" in a low voice, and because I had my eyes closed, I only knew that several people had gone out, and there was only one person left in the room, and I guess it was that "Rong'er".
Then it occurred to me - this environment, this carving, these people...... Through???
Right! It must be so. The eldest prince...... It seems that my Yu Ke is not badly lucky, this must be a rich family, then I must not worry about food and clothing, but which dynasty and which generation is this? Hey, it doesn't matter, such a ridiculous thing can be encountered by me, it seems that I was still too negative before, and my Yu Ke is really destined to be extraordinary.
But...... Three crucial questions popped into my head – who am I? Where have I been? What am I going to do? The first two questions are easy, won't it be solved tomorrow when you ask this Rong'er? As for the third question, forget it, Lao Tzu is just a little hairy kid now, who knows what he can do? The cup of tea I just drank was delicious, so let's watch it while drinking tea.
