"Alright. Nan Rong Wanqing rubbed her brows lightly and said, "It's just a rough man, why bother with him, the most important thing now is grandpa's body." ”

"Humph!"

Looking at Ling Chen, who was swaggering away, Su Lin gritted her teeth with hatred and scolded secretly: "You remember it for me." ”

Back at the courier company, Ling Chen handed over the payment, and then carried the ancient clock directly to the nearby pawnshop for five hundred yuan.

His monthly salary is less than 2,000, and this 500 yuan is a lot of money for him.

With money in his trouser pocket, Ling Chen was rare and generous, bought a case of cold beer, plus a few lo-mei, and went straight home.

The place where he lives is the old town of Donghai City, all of which are old buildings from forty or fifty years ago. Because the environment is average, the rent is relatively cheap, 300 yuan a month.

Once inside, the room was sweltering, and this cheap rental house had no air conditioning, just an old-fashioned fan.

Ling Chen took off his shirt full of sweat and sat on the balcony shirtless, blowing the cool evening breeze, drinking cold beer and eating lo-mei, with a satisfied face.

After a few bottles of beer, Ling Chen crossed Erlang's legs, and on a whim, hummed a small tune that was popular many years ago.

"You're the wind......"

"I am sand, lingering...... To the end of the earth. ”

At this moment, a voice as sweet as spring water picked up the lyrics.

Ling Chen turned his head to take a look, and saw a little beauty coming out of the balcony next door, seventeen or eighteen years old, like a white lotus out of the water, elegant and delicate.

Seeing the little beauty, Ling Chen immediately grinned.

This is his neighbor's child Tang Shiyun, a very cute girl, very likable.

When I first moved here, I happened to meet Tang Shiyun on the road who was bullied by a few hooligans, so I helped her once. Since then, the two have known each other, and he always likes to joke with this little girl when he has nothing to do.

"Girl, if you linger with me, I guess your mother will be angry to death. ”

Tang Shiyun smiled shyly, leaned on the railing, held her cheeks with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Ling, are you thinking of spring, so you want to find a girl to linger." ”

Ling Chen glared at her: "You girl, don't ask such inappropriate questions for children." ”

"Who's small. Tang Shiyun was unconvinced: "I'm eighteen." ”

Ling Chen looked at her bulging chest, secretly swallowed his saliva, and nodded solemnly: "It's really not small." ”

"Brother Ling, you are not too young, why don't you find a girlfriend?"

"Don't you want to be me? I haven't met the three major indicators of marrying a wife, house, car, and passbook, which woman do you say will be blind to me. Ling Chen blew on his beer, looking helpless.

"But you're handsome. Tang Shiyun said innocently.

"Can you eat handsomely, okay, girl, don't worry about my affairs. Come, sing a little song to my brother to cheer up. ”

"Howler. ”

Tang Shiyun moistened her throat, and her sweet singing voice unfolded again.

Sweets and sorrows on the road of life.

I am willing to share everything with you.

It is inevitable that there will be falls and waiting

Be brave enough to look up.

Who wants to hide in a sheltered harbor all the time?

Rather there is the freedom of the waves.

May it be the watchman of the lighthouse in your heart.

In the fog to let you see through......

Ling Chen shook the beer bottle in his hand, listened to the song, and watched the afterglow of the sunset, feeling comfortable and satisfied.

That's what the fuck is called life.

Compared with the days when the knife licked the blood before, it was simply one day and one place.

"Daughter, it's time to eat. ”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out behind Tang Shiyun.

Seeing her baby daughter chatting with Ling Chen, the middle-aged woman's face immediately fell, and she twisted Tang Shiyun's ears and reprimanded: "You damn girl, how many times have you said it, don't associate with this kind of little gangster, why don't you always listen, hurry up and let me into the house." She scolded loudly, as if she was deliberately letting Ling Chen hear it.

"Got it, Mom, you tap. ”

Tang Shiyun stuck out her tongue at Ling Chen embarrassedly, and then obediently followed her mother into the house.

Ling Chen smiled disappreciatively, he knew that Tang Shiyun's mother had a deep prejudice against herself, and always treated herself as a gangster, but she couldn't be blamed for this, who let herself often mingle with those gangsters in the old city.

"Brother Chen, open the door quickly. ”

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"It's coming. ”

Ling Chen got up and opened the door, only to see a sturdy young man wearing a tight vest standing outside, his face was full of urgency, and there was a bruise on his forehead, which was already swollen.

"Jiang Hao, what's wrong with you kid?"

This young man's name is Jiang Hao, and he is a gangster in the old city. This guy was the one who bullied Tang Shiyun last time, and after being taught a lesson by him, he immediately found someone to retaliate, and as a result, more than a dozen brothers were all put down by themselves.

Since then, Jiang Hao has been respectful to him, and he always runs to him with a group of younger brothers, serving him with good cigarettes and wine, and wants to learn a few tricks from him to beat people.

Because of this, Tang Shiyun's mother mistook him for a gangster and forbade her daughter to associate with him.

"Brother Chen, you have to help me this time. Jiang Hao said with a sad face.

"Tell me clearly. ”

"Zhao Zhengxiong's bastard robbed me of my territory, and detained my brothers, and asked me to bring money to ransom people. Brother Chen, I have never asked you for anything before, you must help me this time. ”

Ling Chen hesitated. Although he has dealings with Jiang Hao, he never interferes in their affairs. In his eyes, the gangsters are all petty fights, and he can't get on the stage, so he is not in the mood to waste time.

He has heard of Zhao Zhengxiong, who is also a gangster in the old city, an old fritter, who debuted a few years earlier than Jiang Hao.

Because most of the old city is rented by outsiders, there are people of all religions and nine streams, and various forces are uneven. There are many people like Jiang Hao, but they are just a small fish in this pool of muddy waters.

Seeing Jiang Hao's pleading expression, Ling Chen took out a toothpick and put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to ask for someone." ”

usually takes a lot of filial piety from Jiang Hao, but if he refuses, it will be too unkind, this is not his character. Moreover, I have known Jiang Hao for so long, this person's essence is not bad, and it doesn't hurt to help him.

Under Jiang Hao's guidance, Ling Chen soon came to the outside of a long-abandoned warehouse.

There were several tattooed young men standing outside the warehouse, holding cigarettes in their hands, talking meat jokes to each other, and smiling all over their faces.

"Jiang Hao, you kid is here, and we've all been standing here for a long time. ”

Seeing Jiang Hao's appearance, a young man flicked off the cigarette butt in his hand, glanced at Ling Chen, who was wearing flip-flops and holding a toothpick in his mouth, and pointed to the warehouse: "Brother Xiong is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”
