The knife, hidden in the heart, is the most terrible weapon for killing.

——— inscription

Ye Pingping finally returned to Panshan.

Counting up, it's been twelve years since I last left.

He had fantasized about countless scenarios of coming back, but never wanted to come back in this way.

Being coerced.

He didn't want to come back like this, but life is like this, always doing things he doesn't like, or even hate.

It is a sin not to come; Come, for a great sin!

He chose the latter.

He never thought he was a good person, but when the whole world abandoned him, there was only one woman, who never left her, and he wanted to protect her.

As for how harmful it is to go to his hometown to gamble, sell drugs, and lend usury, he knows very well, but he can't control it so much.

Xiaopanjiang is still unchanged, clean and transparent, and endless.

Eighteen villages, still unchanged, dense forests, primitive isolation.

The millennium has passed sixteen spring and autumn seasons, the general trend of opening up is mighty, the children born that year are now adults, however, the eighteen villages of Panshan, still mysterious vicissitudes, there is no trace of modern industry, as if staying in the eighties.

It was the era when he was born, and here, it is still the same as yesterday, and the vicissitudes of life in his memory.

The river breeze was slow, blowing the empty sleeve of Ye Pingping's right shoulder, and he suddenly felt lost.

There are some things, once lost, there is no room for recovery.

"Brother Ye, look, it's so beautiful!" An exclamation interrupted Ye Pingping's thoughts.

Zhou Yatong opened her mouth and pointed to the sunset on the horizon, full of joy.

Her face was as red as the delicate sun.

Ye Pingping smiled, with her, he was suddenly not afraid of anything.

"Do you like sunset?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because, the sunset is beautiful, like a bride wearing a red hijab, waiting for her beloved to return......"

"This girl!"

"Don't you know? Every girl has a dream, and she hopes that the person she loves will love her as always! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a thing, but I know who's the best for me!"

"Ah, Brother Ye, look, the fire burns the clouds!"

"I'm so happy, there's less rain here, you can watch it every day in the future, tell me, why do you like sunset instead of sunrise?"

"After sunset, you can see the night sky, and the Buyi people have a legend that when a loved one dies, it will become a star in the sky. As long as I see the stars, I am not afraid, but after the morning glow, I will only face the cruel reality! ”

Ye Ping was silent.

Now by his side, there is not only her, but also a young man.

This is a big man from the north, named Lin Feng, who was sent down by Deng Qingrong, named Site Selection, in fact, for surveillance.

There were some things he couldn't say.

The dream in Xiaotong's heart, he will work hard to realize it for her.

The rest, it doesn't matter anymore.

He knew in his heart that from the moment he promised Deng Qingrong, he had completely walked into the abyss.

Who is Deng Qingrong? A complete drug dealer, a madman, a cold-blooded demon, the police have been paying attention to it for a long time, but they can't collect evidence, and there is nothing they can do about it.

It's not that he doesn't want to call the police, he can even go directly to Liu Xingyu, he knows that she has been investigating this matter, but he is afraid and does not dare to take Xiaotong at risk.

He can only cooperate with Deng Qingrong and seek skin with the tiger.

He needed a chance to get rid of this evil tiger.

"Brother Feng, what do you think of the mountain? Although there is no road there, the cattle road can still be opened to traffic and drive to the foot of the mountain! ”

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded.

"Then it's decided, the police station, I've dredged it, it's absolutely safe, and the rest depends on Brother Feng's side!"

Lin Feng didn't answer, put his hands behind his back, and turned away.

"Brother Ye, are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Xiaotong, let's go!"

Ye Pingping shook his head, took Zhou Yatong's hand, and walked slowly.

Turning a mountain, there was no trace of Lin Feng, but he found that on the side of the road ahead, smoke curled up.

A dozen teenagers, with a fire, were peeling corn.

They were very quick and peeled off the husks of the corn, leaving only a thin layer, attached to the stalks, and roasted them on the fire.

"Wow! Roasted tender bun grain! Ye Ping shouted, and suddenly, as if he had become a child, he pulled Zhou Yatong and ran to the side of this group of teenagers.

"Who are you!"

"I haven't seen you, stay aside! Yo, what's wrong with your hands? Hacked? It's not a good thing at first glance, come from the city, you're not welcome here, let's go! ”

"My day!" Ye Pingping scolded, "Lao Tzu is from Muye Village, are you blind?" ”

"Konoha Village? You coax ghosts, Lao Tzu is from Konoha Village, I haven't seen you! A tiger-headed teenager glanced at Ye Pingping and said disdainfully.

"You!" Ye Pingping was furious and pointed at the young man, "You little fart, you know a fart, Lao Tzu is the Ye family!" ”

"The Ye family? Joke! In the entire Muye Village, the Ye family is left with my family, and the rest are the Mu family, Lao Tzu is fifteen years old and has never seen you! The other teenager snorted coldly and said, "I don't care about you because you're disabled, but don't fucking fool people!" ”

"Little Dragon, Little Tiger!" At this moment, in a cornfield, a young man walked out of a cornfield, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, walking like flying, and in an instant, came to the fire.

He put down his guitar, patted the shoulders of the two teenagers, and said, "Don't run the train with your mouth full, as long as there is no malice, the one who comes is a guest!" ”

"You are?" Ye Ping spoke.

Obviously, this teenager is the leader of this gang.

What's more, he seems to see his former shadow from this young man.

"Zhao Shanhe!" The boy replied.

Then, his eyes fell on Zhou Yatong, smiled slightly, withdrew a corn from the fire, broke the corn stalk, removed the thin layer of skin, and handed it to her.

"Sister, let's come to Panshan for the first time and taste our family's tender bun grain!"

"This ......" Zhou Yatong didn't answer, and subconsciously glanced at Ye Pingping.

These teenagers, all of them are ruffians, she doesn't know what to do.

"It's delicious, I used to eat it when I was a child, it's 10,000 times more delicious than what is sold in the city, take it, this is the tender bun valley in my hometown!"

"Thank you, little brother!" Zhou Yatong took the corn, peeled one, and put it in his mouth.

"Sister, it's not like that!" Xiaolong said, "Eat tender bun grain, you have to use gnawing to enjoy it!" ”

"Haha!" A group of teenagers burst into laughter.

"This eldest brother, you have always said that you are the Ye family, what do you call it?" Zhao Shanhe asked.

"Ye Fair!" Ye Pingping replied calmly.

"It's you!" Without waiting for Zhao Shanhe to speak, Xiaolong Xiaohu stood up and surrounded Ye Pingping, constantly looking.

"Boy, I'm not lying!" Ye Pingping smiled, this group of little cubs had heard of him, and he was very happy.

"Cut! Isn't it just a chicken stealer, what's the big deal! Little Tiger shook his hand and continued to churn his corn.

"Day, I thought it was!" The little dragon pursed his lips, ran to the side, lit a cigarette, lay on the ground, and smoked leisurely.

"Twelve years ago, Grandma Ye passed away, stopped in the middle of the hall, and no one came to guard the spirit!" Zhao Shanhe opened his mouth quietly, glanced at Ye Pingping deeply, and said, "You kneel down at the door of each family, and beg someone to carry Grandma Ye up the mountain for burial, since then, run away from home, never go back, although you have a bad record before, but this filial piety is remembered by many people, although I am not from Konoye Village, I have also heard of it!" ”

"Brother Ye......" Zhou Yatong put down the corn in his hand, and his eyes were already full of tears.

"It's all gone, haven't I come back? Now it's all your own people, come on, little brothers, smoke! Ye Pingping shrugged, grinned, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed them to the group of teenagers one by one.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Zhao Shanhe asked.

"I haven't asked you yet, why don't you go to school and wander in the mountains!" Ye Pingping asked rhetorically.

"It's summer vacation, you don't know, it's August!" Xiaolong exhaled a puff of cigarette and said lazily, "Our school won't open until September!" ”

"Where do you all go to school?" Ye Pingping asked.

"Winding mountains! You've got enough! Xiaohu glanced at Ye Pingping, as if looking at an idiot, and said, "I still say that it is my hometown, I don't know what the situation is!" ”

"There's no middle school in Panshan!" Ye Pingping's face was inexplicable.

"Dawn School!" Zhao Shanhe said, "It's been two years, we are the first batch of students, and we will be in the third year next semester!" ”

"Dawn School!"

Ye Pingping's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yatong, and he also saw the shock in her eyes.

Half a year ago, the scene in Longtan seemed to happen yesterday, how could they forget?

Dawn School is good everywhere, but it is extremely protective of its students, if you know that they run to Panshan to gamble and affect students, it will definitely be ridiculous.

"Huh?" Thinking of this, Ye Pingping raised his eyebrows.

In a flash of inspiration, an idea suddenly occurred to him!

If this group of teenagers is dragged in, Dawn School will inevitably take care of it, even if he doesn't care, he can find Deng Qingrong under the pretext of saying that Dawn School took the initiative to stir up trouble, and the latter must believe it, because the fact that he was cut off in Longtan Village is proof.

Whether it is Dawn School or Deng Qingrong's side, both of them are behemoths, and he can't afford to provoke any of them, but if he wants to get rid of Deng Qingrong and get out, the only way to provoke an incident between the two of them is to provoke an incident between them.

And this group of students is an entry point.

With a flash of his eyes, Ye Pingping asked, "Little brother, you have spent your summer vacation like this!" ”

"Very good!" Zhao Shanhe said, "On weekdays, it's good to read books, play the guitar, walk around the mountains, and blow the wind!" ”

"Do you want to make money?" Ye Pingping asked.

"What? Make hay? Xiaolong Xiaohu stepped forward, "What's the way?" ”

"I'm going to gamble on the mountain, you guys come to help!" Ye Pingping said with a smile.

"Wait!" Zhao Shanhe's brows furrowed, and suddenly, his eyes became fierce, staring at Ye Pingping, "I have bad ears, I don't know if I heard it wrong, you said you were going to gamble in Panshan?" ”

"Yes, you heard me right, I do ......"

"Did you take the wrong fucking pill?" Before Ye Pingping finished speaking, Zhao Shanhe suddenly became angry, knocked Ye Pingping down, pressed his head deadly, and roared angrily, "You have been out there for so many years, and you have lived to a dog?" Don't you know that gambling is harmful? Do you hurt people and stay away, and have the face to run to your hometown? Don't you think Panshan is poor enough? Are we really ignorant? Who doesn't know about nine out of ten bets? You're making money by betting, but what about others? It's just going to get poorer the more you gamble! ”

"Little brother, you let go!" Zhou Yatong hurriedly grabbed Zhao Shanhe, she didn't expect that this gentle and elegant young man was angry like a fierce beast, and Brother Ye was held down and couldn't move.

"You're so beautiful, I don't know how to like him!" Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath, let go of Ye Pingping, sat aside, lit a cigarette and smoked it by himself.

"You misunderstood me!"

Ye Pingping patted the dust on his body and said, "I bet, it's not for the villagers, it's the boss who came down outside, the minimum bet of 100, the wins and losses of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars in a game are normal, and the old and young people in the neighborhood can't afford to gamble!" ”

"Seriously?" Zhao Shanhe said coldly.

"Of course!" Ye Ping nodded.

Zhao Shanhe said: "Okay, you do yours, but remember, you can't let a person from Panshan Eighteen Villages enter your casino, otherwise you ......"

"This ......," Ye spread his hands, "I don't do it in the stockade, I have all run to the mountains, people want to come, I can't help it!" ”

"That's good! I'll stop you! Zhao Shanhe stood up, "I and these brothers will help you keep watch, except for the gamblers outside, no one in the Eighteen Villages, I won't put it in, of course, I'll help you keep an eye on the pimps!" ”

"Really?" Ye Pingping was overjoyed, and he didn't need to open his mouth, this young man actually took the initiative to ask for help.

Pimp, is jargon, refers to public officials, and in general, refers to the police.

Ye Pingping didn't expect that this young man would understand these curves.

"Then it's decided, all the brothers who participate in the stalking, I will give each person two hundred yuan a day, as long as you see which people are not pleasing to the eye and want to stop whom, I will not interfere!"

"Nothing but gambling!" Zhao Shanhe asked again.

"I'm a good person, I'm good at gambling, I'm not interested in the rest, I don't touch it!"

He really didn't lie, he didn't touch, but he was no one else, and he didn't call the shots this time.

"Hmm!" Zhao Shanhe nodded and said no more.

"Xiaohu, I took this baogu!"

"Damn, I've been baking for a long time!"

Ye Pingping laughed, and regardless of Xiaohu's fire-breathing eyes, he pulled out a corn from the fire, then nodded with Zhao Shanhe, and walked away leisurely with Zhou Yatong.

……

The next day, Ye Fair's casino opened smoothly, everything was like in Longtan, no danger, calm, he made a lot of money, Zhao Shanhe also brought people to help, all intersections, for him.

On the third day, Dawn School went to Muye Village to enroll students, and the group of arrogant teachers found that their students were involved in casino affairs, and they didn't need Ye Pingping to provoke them at all, so they naturally clashed with Deng Qingrong's people, and several teachers were beaten.

A week later, a woman came to Panshan, I heard that it was a female postdoctoral fellow, a great philosopher, who was appointed as the principal of the Panshan branch of Dawn School.

Ye Pingping knew that his opportunity had come.

He got straight to the point, pointed out the key points to Lin Feng, he pointed out that the Dawn School has always been protective and domineering, if they knew that they were gambling here, and even drug trafficking, etc., they would definitely not sit idly by, his fate in Longtan Village is the best example, they must strike first.

Lin Feng didn't ask Deng Qingrong for instructions, and on Jiang Ruoxue's way back from Sanmiao Village, he arranged a stone rain night attack.

That night, Ye Pingping and Zhou Yatong never slept, sitting on the grain pile, counting the stars in the sky.

He said to her that it was as if he had seen his mother, and he was looking at him from heaven.
