In the middle of the night, Li Ling quietly touched the courtyard of a remote old house in Jinan City, this courtyard was the place where an old scholar taught in the past, and then people died and it was abandoned.

At this time, the courtyard door was closed, Li Ling didn't knock on the door, hid to the side and pretended to make a few dog barks, and sure enough, after a while, the door "squeaked", and a simple head poked out from inside, seeing Li Ling was overjoyed, and was about to shout, but Li Ling covered his mouth and dragged him into the door.

This young man looks half a head taller than Li Ling, his name is Sun Yuzhu, his parents died when he was a child, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, but he ate fat head and big ears. Since he was a child, he has been in Jinan City, his appearance is honest, he has a strong muscle, he can fight well, he is simple, and Li Ling has the best relationship, and he has always been obedient to Li Ling.

Sun Yuzhu was dragged to the inner courtyard by Li Ling, and then he was overjoyed and said: "Brother Ling has finally looked forward to you, where have you been running away in the past few days, and my brothers are in a hurry, I am afraid that you will be arrested by the police station, our brothers are listening to Brother Jiatang's orders to cast nets everywhere and be ready to answer you." And why did you abolish that Oriental guy, it's so relieving, ha, you cut off your life. ”

Li Ling didn't answer his question, looked around, and asked, "Why are you here alone, and what about the other brothers?" ”

Sun Yuzhu found that Li Ling had returned safely, and he was excited, and said: "We were still here three hours ago to study your whereabouts, and it was too late just now, so I will go and gather everyone over." He was upright, and when he said that, he immediately got up to greet someone. Li Ling stopped him and said, "Don't make too much noise, you just quietly find Brother Jiatang, go and return quickly." Sun Yuzhu said "um" and went out happily.

Li Ling did not live in Jinan because he went to school in Jinan City, and this house was where he and a group of homeless brothers lived for a long time. At the beginning, he had a little money, so Li Ling bought a few pieces of furniture to decorate the house and put some things in the house. I thought that life would get better and better, but of course there are times when you make mistakes in investment. Once, when he lost his money, he simply took out all the furniture and the things left by the poor pedant, and then he didn't add anything.

The house is simple, only a big bed and a stove, now it is the season when the corn is about to ripen, I saw the cooked corn cob on the stove next to it, I felt a famine in the stomach, I haven't eaten for most of the day, I picked up two at the moment, squatted in the corner and gnawed up.

As soon as I finished eating one, I didn't bother to wipe my mouth when I heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Li Ling became alert, stepped into the inner room with an arrow, held his breath, and listened with his ears.

The first to push the door in was Sun Yuzhu, who had just gone out, it seemed that he was very efficient, followed by a stocky and strong young man, with a well-defined face and firm eyebrows, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, he stepped into the house quickly, saw Li Ling, pulled him back, and said reproachfully: "Brother Ling, you have made a big disaster, and you can still eat, these two days have been noisy, Jinan City also dares to come, and you are not afraid of being targeted." ”

Li Ling was led by him like a child, and hurriedly struggled away, his mouth was full of corn, and he said vaguely: "Even if you go to the guillotine, you have to eat first, Brother Jiatang, what's wrong with Jinan City, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den, I will break into him." ”

"Yes, yes, it's the old man of Hades who can help Brother Ling, not to mention the crippled little Japanese ......" Sun Yuzhu on the side took over the conversation, and was about to be proud and ambitious, when he saw "Brother Jiatang" rolling his eyes at him, his voice was getting lower and lower, and finally he had to laugh.

This "Brother Jiatang" is the earliest gangster thug who became famous in this area, named He Jiatang, whose ancestral home is Cangshan, Hebei, and came to Jinan with his father to sell medicinal materials since he was a child, and later settled here. A few years ago, due to the sudden rise of Li Ling, the two fought, he has always been fierce and not Li Ling's opponent, so he was willing to bow to the wind, and Li Ling, and Sun Yuzhu became brothers with different surnames, although the oldest, calm, prestige is also quite deep, but because of the loss to Li Ling in front of the brothers, he is willing to rank second, and Li Ling does not dare to be big, so the position of the eldest of the three brothers has been vacant.

Since the three of them formed a rebellion, they began to plan the territory of major vegetable markets and shopping malls, and the small forces in Jinan City were either merged or expelled, as if a hooligan group centered on the three of them was formed. The three of them have intersected in life and death in the past two years, sharing weal and woe, and now that Li Ling has broken through a catastrophe, of course the two of them are impatient to ask about the ins and outs of the incident.

Li Ling cleared his throat and began to dance to the two of them about how the Japanese molested women, how he was angry and rushed to the crown, and he didn't care about himself.

The two of them listened intently at first, but finally couldn't bear it, first He Jiatang snorted coldly and interrupted him: "People molesting women are about your, don't you often do these things." You are a hero, now you don't even have a small life, become a martyr. ”

"Yes, I thought I was going to hear some kind of twists and turns, but that's all, if you follow what you said, many of our brothers should have been cut off by you." Sun Yuzhu also rolled up and down with big eyes like copper bells.

Li Ling is angry, thinking that he is a national hero, and he is so unworthy in the eyes of others. Although he is in the company of local ruffians and hooligans, because of his solid family background, although Mrs. Li is harsh on him, he still supports schooling, and so many years of cultural learning have made him different from other hooligans, and he also has a deep understanding of the country and the nation. I didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, so I picked up the corn sullenly and nibbled on it again.

"Okay, now it's all over, now it's time to think about how to solve it, right?" He Jiatang has always been able to take care of the overall situation, and said at the moment.

Li Ling said lazily: "What else, run away!" I went to my fiancée. Why don't you two go with me, so you can set off my handsomeness. ”

"Do you have a fiancée?" The two were stunned and asked in unison.

"Hey, I'm lonely!" Li Ling took out the jade pendant handed over to him by his master Ren Chunshan, shook it up and down, and said ostentatiously: "I am married with a finger, and there are tokens as evidence, but my fiancée is like a flower and jade, sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and embarrassing flowers......"

"Finger belly for marriage? How do you know what it looks like, maybe it's as ugly as Zhuge Liang's wife in the commentary, hehe. Sun Yuzhu said with some schadenfreude.

Li Ling was about to tell the difference, but saw He Jiatang impatiently said: "It's all burning eyebrows, you still have the heart to laugh." Say, when will you leave? ”

"Sooner rather than later, I went to the city this time to say goodbye to my brothers, and the other brothers will be gone, help me tell me, I'll leave now." Li Ling said.

He Jiatang had a restrained temperament, nodded and didn't say anything, but Sun Yuzhu's honest face showed an expression of reluctance, and his big fan-like hand grabbed Li Ling, and said: "Brother Ling will leave now, everyone is still waiting for you to lead the brothers to make a lot of money, you don't know what year you will be able to come back, how can this be good." ”

Li Ling is also reluctant to give up, after all, the relationship for many years is here. After many years, I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown, so the troubled times of warlord melee may never come back, whether it is a temporary farewell or a farewell, the three of them have no bottom in their hearts. First Sun Yuzhu burst into tears, and then He Jiatang's eyes were red, and he stopped talking.

Gritting his teeth, Li Ling was about to snatch the door out, but he heard He Jiatang suddenly say: "The last time you escaped after beating someone, you posted a reward notice, it was us who had a mole, Shen Tianfu went to the county police station to report you, and later he went to your Li Jiazhuang to listen to the news, and left a henchman to squat there." ”

Hearing this, Li Ling rushed up angrily, stopped, and said hatefully: "It's this traitor, last time I took him under my command, I didn't agree very much, now I want to rebel, it seems that the portal needs to be cleaned up." ”

Shen Tianfu relied on his strong family background, did evil, bullied the land and dominated the market, and had several conflicts of interest with Li Ling and others. How could Li Ling have a lot of people, and finally ended up in a situation of rebellion, so he had no choice but to bring a group of younger brothers to surrender, but he couldn't get the trust of the gang. Also because he had other calculations in his heart, this time Li Ling beat the Japanese, thinking that the opportunity to get ahead had come, so he went to the police station to report it.

Sun Yuzhu suddenly cheered: "It's time to punish the traitor, Brother Ling won't leave today, let's sneak into the Shen family while it's dark, catch it and beat it up." ”

Li Ling hesitated slightly, and said, "Okay, don't call other brothers, let's just fight quickly, and then run away." ”

He Jiatang didn't say much, and nodded expressionlessly.

Then the three of them went out in the dark.
