Chapter 22: Wild Heart
People, the most troublesome thing is not actually in all kinds of insurmountable predicaments, but after getting into trouble, they are always worried about when it will fall on their heads.
Because of this, knowing that once he was handed over to the orphanage by the guardian, according to his previous precedent of repeated departures, even if he disappeared, he would not make any waves, at most, Zhang Longchu, who had one more suspected missing file in the Los Angeles missing persons group, chose to venture back to Orange Street as soon as he got out of the hospital.
I plan to listen to the recent movements of the 'Bone Brothers' and make plans for the rest of my life.
It was already evening when he came out of the alley and walked to the orange street, taking advantage of the dim light, walking on the street full of graffiti and garbage for a while, the three-story gray brick building that Zhang Longchu had lived in for several years appeared in his eyes.
Hiding in the shadows and carefully observing the surrounding movements, seeing that there was no one to guard, Zhang Longchu took two disguised Heroic Spirit warriors and rushed back to his home quickly.
After closing the door, he ordered the two heroic spirits to stand at the door, and quickly climbed up to the second floor, returned to the bedroom, and found his wooden backpack made of strange objects at the head of the bed, and immediately hugged it tightly in his arms.
Although the legend says that the 'strange things' are protected by the law, unless extreme means such as nuclear explosions are used, it is extremely difficult to be destroyed by man, and within a certain range, Zhang Longchu may clearly sense the position of the wooden backpack, but during the time when the strange thing left his body, he still felt uneasy, and he was relieved until this moment.
After cherishing his strange things for a while, Zhang Longchu put the wooden backpack on his back, ran to the room facing the street, sat under the window and carefully observed the movement on the street, until more than nine o'clock in the night, he stood up, and under the protection of two heroic warriors, he quietly came to the middle of Orange Street, outside the small restaurant opened by Kenny.
Pointing to the dark alley ten meters away, he ordered the Heroic Warrior to hide in and stand by at any time, he pushed open the wooden door and entered the restaurant.
Unlike Zhang Longchu's previous two visits, there were no one in the time and space, and there were two customers sitting at the bar of the restaurant this time.
Seeing that the two of them felt very strange from the back, Zhang Longchu ignored it after entering the door, walked directly to the corner of the bar and sat down, and said with a smile: "Good evening, dear Kenny, haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?" ”
Kenny, who was cooking soup, stiffened when he heard this question, and looked back at Zhang Longchu with a ghostly look, and looked back at Zhang Longchu stiffly, and was in a daze for more than ten seconds before his expression slowly returned to normal, shrugged and said: "Good evening, Long Chu, what do you want to eat, is it still the same as before, smoked sausage barbecue platter with whole wheat bread and tomato soup?" ”
"It's not good anymore." Zhang Longchu smiled and nodded, and then stopped talking, until Kenny Sr. delivered all the food he ordered to him, and the other two guests left satisfied, and then suddenly asked softly, "How is the skeleton brother now?" ”
"There's been a 'big earthquake'," Kenny said as he walked up to Zhang Longchu and looked at the young man who was feasting on his face, "After the explosion of the black car transfer terminal, the Bone Brothers lost their most important source of income in recent years, and they also had to face the difficulties of other big gangs and police in Los Angeles.
As a result, the boss of Bifu went crazy, and in a fit of anger, he threw the 'key' Hank, the main person in charge of stealing the car, into the sea to feed the fish, but the idiot knew that after the black car was put into storage, it had nothing to do with Hank, and Bifu's approach put everyone in the small bosses of the Bone Brothers in danger..."
"God, Boss Bifu can't have been killed by his subordinates because of perverse behavior, right?" Zhang Longchu interrupted Kenny's words in surprise.
Hearing this, Kenny couldn't help but sigh, "It's a heart ward, but everyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, and poor boss Billy has paid a heavy price for his stupid 'love'."
Alas, thinking that he was so cold-blooded, ruthless, wise and wise, who would have thought that he would end up like this in the end. ”
"It's nothing surprising Kenny, do you know that in my homeland of China, there was a great emperor more than a thousand years ago, who once wrestled the throne from his own aunt through political struggle, and then killed all the relatives of his grandmother's family, and created a powerful dynasty.
But such a ruthless and intelligent fellow, when he was old, he married his son's wife as a princess for love, and appointed the princess's brother as the prime minister to manage the country for himself, but in less than ten years, the once powerful dynasty became a joke, and was beaten into the capital by the rebels, and almost captured him.
Life is like this, astonishing wisdom and frightening stupidity sometimes alternate in a person, after all, mortals are not sages who never make mistakes. Because he was too excited, Zhang Longchu gushed and said: "But in any case, as a legendary gangster boss, he didn't stop breathing in the bed of the nursing home, and he deserved to die."
After his death, who is the new boss, since the explosion of the black car dock has led to a 'change of dynasty', it should become a taboo, and no one will pursue it anymore, right? ”
"The new boss is the 'short gun' Hulk, and after he took office, he did hear people mention the explosion at the Black Car Dock on Orange Street again." Kenny nodded.
"yes, I guessed right." Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and drank a large sip of tomato soup, seeing his smiling face, Kenny was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I really can't figure it out when I think about it, how did you do it, Long Chu?" ”
"What?" Zhang Longchu pretended not to understand and said.
"How did you kill Brian and his 47 men," Kenny whispered, "the easiest way to do this is with a bomb, but how did a young man who couldn't even buy a gun get a high-energy bomb and send it to a warehouse guarded by more than 40 gun-wielding gangsters and detonate it himself unscathed..."
"Don't guess, Kenny, I didn't do it," Zhang Longchu interrupted Kenny's words, shook his head and said, "I passed out after I left you and returned home that day, and I have been in the hospital until now I came out, if you don't believe me, you can ask my temporary guardian." ”
"Really..."Kenny looked at Zhang Longchu with a complicated expression, stopped talking, picked up the rag on the side, and began to wipe the bar that he could never finish.
And Zhang Longchu was also silent, and only after eating the delicacies on the plate did he stand up and say, "I'm leaving, Kenny, I'm leaving Orange Street, maybe I'll never come back."
But if I make a fortune, I'll definitely send someone to you and settle the rest of the gun money, that's a good gun..."
Hearing this, Kenny raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Longchu's face, and after seeing the tacit smile, his face hesitated uncertainly, and suddenly said in a dry voice: "In addition to that good gun, I have a good thing I want to sell you, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
"What's good?" I didn't expect Kenny to say this, Zhang Longchu asked in surprise.
"Something I don't have the qualifications or guts to use," Kenny said in a dryer voice, "my life could have changed because of it, but because of my cowardice, I ended up on Orange Street, waiting to die of old age." ”
Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and blurted out: "Yes, um, but since you are not qualified to use it, how can you conclude that I can use it?" ”
"Because of the madness you have shown;
Because of the courage you have shown;
for I saw in you the ferocity of a beast in that day;
Because after you went mad like a beast, you miraculously appeared before me alive. Kenny replied as if he were reciting poetry, and stiffly untied an ancient pendant from his neck and threw it at Zhang Longchu.
Zhang Longchu raised his hand to catch the pendant, and saw a heart-shaped amber, which seemed transparent but from different angles, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be several strange animals running and roaring inside, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is this, Kenny?" ”
"Wild Heart," Kenny replied softly with a reluctant but relieved expression, "Legend has it that a man who truly believes in the law of the jungle." People who are willing to give up everything and give everything in order to become 'strong' only need to put it in their hearts and sleep, and they will get the opportunity to get what they want. ”
"Is it so amazing," Zhang Longchu thought about it and laughed, "It sounds like this thing is really suitable for an orphan like me, who has nothing."
I don't even want to give up and give something, so I get a chance to become stronger, it's just an empty glove white wolf, I'll try it tonight to the end, if it really works, I will double it when it develops in the future, no, I will pay it back tenfold. ”
"I don't need you to pay anything back," Kenny shook his head vigorously, and said with a strong sense of nostalgia in his tone, "As long as you really become a strong man in the future, when someone asks you where your power comes from, you say that you can inherit only a plane mercenary team called 'White Stone'." ”
"The mercenary team of the White Stone Plane, I know," Zhang Longchu nodded solemnly, waved his hand and finally said, "Then goodbye, or farewell, Uncle Kenny, take care." He turned and walked out of the restaurant.
In the bleak autumn, the cold wind in Los Angeles at more than ten o'clock was shining, and his mouth was wide open. After sneezing, Zhang Long called out when he first saw the heroic warriors hidden in the alley, and quietly returned home together.
The boss is dead, and the change of dynasty of the Bone Brothers means that the hidden dangers he fears have completely disappeared.
After taking a hot shower, lying on the bed, and happily drinking a glass of wine from the kitchen to celebrate, Zhang Longchu took out the amber that Kenny gave him from his coat pocket, looked at it carefully for a while, thought about it, shrugged his shoulders, and put it in his heart.
