Chapter 5: In the Tribulation

"Ouch...... Fuyuko, you lighten it! An Yi, who was lying on the hard bed wearing only a pair of wide underwear, screamed in pain.

Dongzi laughed, poured out some of the medicinal wine in the white glass bottle and put it on the palm of his hand, quickly rubbed the heat and put it on An Yi's bruised back again, rubbed it for a while, and then increased the intensity and quickly rubbed it, regardless of An Yi's pain like killing a pig, he comforted happily: "Bear with me, this is Mr.'s special bone-setting medicinal wine, what about the spirit, Mr. rubbed it on me like this last time...... Big brother, who beat you like this? ”

An Yi finally took a breath and replied hummedly: "In the afternoon at Tianzi Wharf, I saw a woman carrying two boxes alone and fell down, so I went to help, who knew that I was beaten by two people who appeared out of nowhere after I walked a few steps, fortunately, if the police didn't come in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back." ”

"What does the person who hit you look like?"

"The two turtle sons are wearing black satin shirts, which are shiny clothes, and one of them has a tiger head tattooed on his arm, so he is probably not a good person."

"That's bad! Those people are the Four Seas Gang that has been rampaging in Guangzhou City for decades...... Big brother, how did you mess with them? ”

An Yi replied in frustration: "Where did I mess with them?" It is estimated that they mistakenly thought that I was going to the dock to help the guests resist the bag and beg for money, and this was only known to the eldest brother Li Tiekui, the police squad leader in charge of the security of the dock, that it has always been the territory of the gangsters and does not allow outsiders to interfere, even if they do coolies, they must first get their consent, otherwise they will start fighting, the light ones are like me, the heavy ones are killed and thrown into the Pearl River, and the murderers will run to Dongguan in the south or even the Tangkou in Hong Kong to continue to mix, and the police have nothing to do with them. Alas...... This world is the same in all ages, and there are gangsters everywhere ......"

"Wait, what are you talking about...... Brother Li, a policeman? Fuyuko stopped and asked curiously.

"That's the captain Li Tiekui in the middle of the wharf area and the south embankment road, he is my Sichuan hometown, a few bosses who protected the Sichuan League in the second year came to Guangzhou, and then stayed for some reason, and went to the police station on an errand, that day I was on the dock when I first arrived in Guangzhou, and was almost cut off by the self-defense forces that attacked the merchant army, if it weren't for Brother Li hearing me cry out before he died, knowing that I was a Sichuan person and not a member of the merchant group, he hurriedly shouted to keep people under the knife, I'm afraid that the three-foot-long knife would have fallen long ago, Big brother, I can't be with you today...... It is said that his ancestors are plank, and now Lao Tzu often dreams of the tragic scene at that time, and the heads are rolling and bleeding like a river......" An Yi closed his eyes and lay on the bed weakly, obviously reluctant to mention it again.

Fuyuko stayed for a long time before it dawned on him: "I see...... No wonder when Mr. helped you take the pulse, he said that your illness was a high fever that did not go down, but it was actually caused by excessive palpitations caused by wind and cold. Big brother, why haven't you told me about this? ”

An Yi struggled to get up, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and pointed to the clothes box on the corner shelf: "I don't want to think about these things, how can I still be in the mood to tell you?" Go, there are two sets of clothes in the box, which were given to me by Brother Li in the afternoon, I don't want to do it, I can only take it back when I see him staring at him, you go and pick one set, and tomorrow I will take it to the fourth aunt's store to change it, don't wear the torn clothes of this corpse collection team all day long, anyway, now you are also a civil servant who eats imperial food, don't let people look down on you. ”

Dongzi walked over quickly and took the box to the bed and opened it, and when he saw the two sets of neatly folded inside, he exclaimed, carefully took it out and looked at it enviously, and finally folded it into the box as it was: "Big brother, I can't ask for such expensive clothes, this gift is too big." ”

An Yi sighed: "I also said this to Brother Li, but I can't push it off, thinking that I will be mixed in Guangzhou in the future, maybe there will be such and such unexpected things that need Brother Li's help, so I have to accept it." I can see that Brother Li is a person with a strong surname, and I also know that the prosperous area he manages is a fat shortage, and I don't care about these dozens of oceans of clothes, but for me, it is a heavy love. Dongzi, since we can't shirk it, let's accept it, and then find a chance to repay others. ”

"But this ...... Big brother, you have been wearing old clothes for so long, I guess it is also a reason why you can't find something to do to wear torn clothes, so you can stay and wear it yourself, and we'll talk about it when you find something to do in the future. I'm ashamed to say that my little brother has been hiding from you, and the two sets of old clothes on your body are ...... It was the younger brother who peeled off the dead man, and it was all because the younger brother was not angry, and he had been in Guangzhou for more than a year and didn't have a few dollars left, and the little brother was sorry for you......" Dongzi lowered her head sadly and sniffed violently, her eyes were red and overflowing with tears of shame and helplessness.

An Yi got up and hugged Dongzi, wanted to say two curious words but couldn't say a word, remembering the days when he was ill, Dongzi served all night, in order to grab medicine and tonic for himself, he exhausted all his savings, and because of his arrival, he was also charged a monthly rent of two yuan by the stingy landlord, all of which Dongzi silently endured without a word of complaint or a word of merit, but now he felt guilty about a set of clothes like this, which made An Yi's heart sour like a knife.

After a while, An Yi gently pushed away Dongzi, who was leaning on his shoulder and was crying, stared at his misty eyes and said excitedly: "Dongzi, eldest brother was dragged back from the pile of dead by you, and the life of the eldest brother in this life is yours, let alone a small set of clothes?" Now that my eldest brother can't find a job, it doesn't mean that he will be in a pocket for the rest of his life, I believe that everything will be fine, and we will definitely have countless money in the future, I swear! The eldest brother has no ability, but he has mechanical and spare parts processing technology, can make drawings and machine tool repairs, and helped in the car repair shop opened by the same scholar for half a year, can repair motorcycles and eliminate the general faults of the car, the eldest brother also has a lot of English words, can use English for simple conversations, and thinks that he is no worse than most people now. Although the eldest brother still can't recognize the words with many strokes, the eldest brother is learning every day, and I believe that he will be able to master it soon, believe me Dongzi! Your eldest brother is not stupid, he knows the preciousness of the difficulties of the world, if he can't get a picture in this life, he will plunge into the Pearl River, and go back from wherever he wants......"

"Hmm...... I believe it! Dongzi wiped away the tears on his face, strode to the door and took down the towel and handed it to An Yi, watching An Yi wipe his face indiscriminately and suddenly remembered what he had just said: "Big brother, can you repair a car?" Do you know English? Why didn't you tell me earlier? These are all big skills that ordinary people don't have, let alone finding a job if you have this ability, if the political axe knows it, I will recruit you immediately, big brother, I will go to Section Chief Cai tomorrow and tell her your ability, the political axe and the army are too short of people like you. ”

An Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It can't be said that it is a plenary meeting, I may have said it full of words when I was excited just now, in fact, most of the eldest brother's skills are half a bucket of water, especially half a bucket of water in English. Again, the eldest brother doesn't like to work in the political axe department, he doesn't want to look at the face of the bureaucracy with his tail between his legs, he likes his old profession and likes to live unrestrained, so ah, you better let the eldest brother go out and try again, if you can't find a job to make a living, the eldest brother will definitely listen to you, okay? ”

Fuyuko had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll listen to my eldest brother." ”

"That's my good brother." An Yi smiled and picked up two sets of clothes and shook them open: "Pick one set, you are not much shorter than me, your waist is about the same, how about the height of about 1.7 meters, it doesn't matter if the clothes are longer, maybe you will grow taller for the second time, just change your trouser legs...... What are you ashamed of? I'm in charge, you work in the political axe department dignifiedly, just wear this black suit! ”

An Yi threw the black clothes into Dongzi's arms, jumped out of bed and bent down to take out the pair of rubber-soled canvas shoes under the bed: "These shoes were also given to me by Brother Li, the quality of Nanyang products is good, but it is one size smaller, I am wearing clips, and you wear it just right." Okay, I'll have to go to the well and wash up, go to bed early tonight, and try my luck tomorrow. ”

Dongzi, who was dizzy and dizzy wrapped in strong affection, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, holding the new clothes in his hand and looking at the new shoes at his feet in a daze, not knowing that An Yi was comfortable wearing those shoes, nor that An Yi quietly took the pair of cracked plastic sandals out.

The partition wall has ears, there are no secrets in the simply divided rooms, and An Yi and Dongzi's words were heard clearly by Mr. Lao without omission. Because of what happened in the afternoon, Mr. Lao, who was scheming, deliberately came back later, and slowly used a bowl of rice at the street stall It was already dark, and he calmly entered his room without going out, carefully recalling what he saw in the afternoon, predicting what An Yi would change, so he also heard the words of the two brothers next door clearly, and he was also moved to sigh frequently.

Not hearing the sound of the well water in the courtyard, Mr. Lao stood up with a slight frown and walked behind the window, looked at the courtyard through the crackling window, and looked for a while before finding An Yi who was making a fire by the stove in front of the east wing. Mr. Lao was a little surprised, and gently pushed open half of the window, and saw An Yi under the reflection of the red flames holding a half-cut foreign iron sheet and roasting it in the fire, and after a while, he carefully pinched out the red-hot iron sheet and began to mend the torn sandals placed on his knees.

A breeze blew, and the smell of burnt plastic penetrated into Mr. Law's keen nose, only to see that the wings of his nose were slightly dilated several times, and his deep eyes were full of emotion and praise.

After a while, An Yi, who had mended his shoes, happily tried on and walked two steps, put out the stove and whistled back to the well, lifted a bucket of water with a bucket and poured it head-on, let out a happy low cry in his mouth, put down the bucket and hummed an unknown song and quickly washed his body with soap.

Mr. Law closed the window and returned to the bed to sit down, looking at the bean-like oil lamp and falling into deep thought. Years of experience in the rivers and lakes are telling him that the guy named An Yi is the same as the secret judgment he made when he first saw him, with a clear and strange bone like a kind heart, a dignified affection and a surname of Bing, but before tonight, Mr. Lao didn't know that An Yi still had a lot of skills, only knew that this was a good boy with intelligence and perseverance, Sven's easy-going appearance concealed his extraordinary arrogance and persistence, such a person with a look and a surname was the first time he encountered Mr. Lao in his yin and yang career for half of his life. Occasionally, a few dignified and expensive guests came to tell fortunes, and Mr. Lao could easily grasp and deduce, but this wandering young man named An Yi gave him a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't explain.

It was late at night, Mr. Lao was lying down in clothes and listening to the sound of even breathing from next door, a clear purple light faintly appeared in his mind but could not be captured, and finally sighed slightly as if he was talking to himself, and muttered softly: "How can Jin Lin be a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm......
