Not even under the bright moonlight, there is a simple shack area near the wharf, and most of the people who live here are coolies from other places. For those of them who had come from afar to work as coolies on the docks to earn a living, even the cheapest houses in the city were undoubtedly a luxury.

What's more, this place is near the docks, which is very convenient from their place of work, and under normal circumstances, it will not be checked by the night watchmen, but it is also a paradise that belongs to them.

Although the shack area is simple, it is very clean, and the people gathered here from different places are divided into different groups of people, each with their own boundary, because of the long-term stay, these men who look dirty on the surface pay attention to daily hygiene, even more than those dirty and messy slums in the city.

It's just that in the past few days, this shack area has not been quiet, because Duanzhou Sanxiong suddenly stood up and formed a gang. As for the real reason, no one knows, but everyone knows one thing, today during the day at the dock, Duanzhou Sanxiong and the only dozens of people of the Duanzhou Gang clashed with the strong Nanhai Gang twice in succession.

Although he returned from a big victory in the previous time, he was arrived in time by Ding Li, the boss of the Nanhai Gang, and in the next battle, Duanzhou Sanxiong injured two, and the only remaining Wang Ling was only lucky to escape. On the surface, the Duanzhou Gang was defeated, but this incident undoubtedly pushed the Duanzhou Gang into the abyss.

Everyone who lives in the shack area is deliberately or unintentionally estranged from the Duanzhou Gang, and how can everyone's careful thinking escape the eyes of Wang Ling and others, but they are just worried that the Nanhai Gang will turn around again and take revenge, lest it will affect themselves.

"Brother Hong! Send the doctor away! Wang Ling, who was not seriously injured, just sent away a doctor who was invited from afar in the city, Xu Hong and Jia Jie's injuries were not light, and they broke a few bones respectively.

Even Xu Hong and Jia Jie, who were lying on the bed made of wooden planks, were also worried, and after seeing Wang Ling send the doctor back, they only nodded gloomily, especially Jia Jie, whose lips squirmed a few times, and finally just stretched out his tongue and licked the cracked lips of his hair stem, and did not speak.

"Brother Hong, Lao Jia! It's just a little injured, so you don't need to keep pulling your face! Wang Ling knew that the two friends were in a very bad mood, but he was not a person who could say comforting words, so he just grinned bitterly at the two of them, poured a cup of hot water for each of them and put it on the side of the bed, and sat on the small wooden stool on the side, lowered his head and thought about it, raised his eyes to Xu Hong and said, "Brother Hong!" Don't worry too much, the deposit two days ago is enough for the medicine cost of this injury! Your wages can be sent home for the eldest mother and sister-in-law, and the eldest mother's body is important! Even if it's not enough, I still have it here, it's enough for the time being! Don't think about it, take care of your injuries first! ”

"Don't think much about it? Hehe! Say it easily! Xu Hong just nodded slowly, but he didn't expect Jia Jie on the side to speak, glanced at Wang Ling with a slight dissatisfaction, and took over with a sneer and asked, "Wang Ling, I ask you!" Let's not mention this injury for now! But can the matter with the South China Sea Gang end today? Will we be able to stay here in the future? I really don't understand, I usually see that you kid is very smart, why did you agree to that person last time, and you also received a deposit from someone else? ”

"Ahem!" Wang Ling immediately sank his face, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, squinted his eyes and glared at Jia Jie fiercely, Jia Jie also immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, although he was unconvinced, he still shook his head and didn't say more, and then pinned his head to the side, huffing.

"Lao Jia! It's all because of me, don't blame Wang Ling! The reason why Wang Ling tried his best to accept the conditions of the mysterious person and even accept the deposit a few days ago was completely because Xu Hongyuan's mother in Duanzhou's hometown was seriously ill and bedridden, and the little money Xu Hong earned by selling his physical strength alone was not enough to pay for the high medical expenses, not to mention that there was a daughter-in-law and children at home.

"Brother Hong, I didn't mean that!" Hearing this, Jia Jie also had to turn around, scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at Xu Hong apologetically, his face was flushed, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally simply patted the bed board under him, gritted his teeth and roared in a deep voice: "What's the big deal!" Isn't it thirty taels of silver? Just pay him back! No matter what, the brothers are also big men, can they still be so worried about these thirty taels of silver that they can't live! ”

"That's it! Brother Hong, don't think about it! Wang Ling lost no time in taking the words and persuading them, then glanced at Jia Jie, who was cheering up, and said with a smile: "What Lao Jia said is right!" It's a big deal, a few brothers, just scrape together some money to pay him back first! I don't owe him a penny! What a big deal, after recovering from the injury, let's just earn it again! ”

"Hey! You're thinking too simply! Xu Hong knew that the two friends were trying their best to comfort themselves, for fear that they would have too much burden in their hearts, but even this was to no avail, after all, something had happened, how could Xu Hong pretend not to know anything. What's more, since he came back, Xu Hong has always had an ominous premonition in his heart, and then Xu Hong, who was lying on the bed, looked up at the roof built only with tents, sighed, and sighed worriedly: "Hey! Since that person can find us, today's matter should be known soon, with the other party's ability, I'm afraid this matter can't end so easily! ”

"That's right! It seems that you are not a fool either! ”

Outside the thin door curtain, in the whirring night breeze, a joking voice broke the conversation of the three of them, and they all turned their heads to look over, especially Xu Hong's eyes, which were full of horror.

Lifting the curtain, the young man who was the first to enter the eyes of the three was relatively unfamiliar, but the black-clothed man beside the man, Xu Hong and the three of them knew very well, that is, they took a deposit of thirty taels of silver from the other party.

"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people! You guys are useless, aren't you? The young man was playing with a snowy short dagger in his hand, his eyes were full of contempt, and he didn't even look at Xu Hong and the others, and after saying a word to himself, his face sank, and he scolded the man in black beside him: "Cao Yin! You shit! Looking for this kind of goods, you are embarrassed to pay a deposit? Go! If you cut off their hands and feet, and want to save your life, then cut off your tongue! lest things leak out! ”

"Yes! Master! Cao Yin nodded heavily with an ugly face, bowed slightly, and straightened his waist again, there was already a short sword in his hand that was slightly inferior to the short dagger in his young master's hand, and he walked towards Xu Hong and the others with an expressionless face.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Wang Ling, the only one who could move freely, flashed forward without hesitation and blocked Cao Yin, and explained with a serious face: "The three of us brothers don't know you!" As for the deposit, we will find a way to pay it back! And this matter, it is indeed our fault, we are planted! But I hope this son, be merciful! None of us will say half a word about this! ”

Cao Yin, who was blocked in the way, didn't know what to do, so he had to turn around and turn his inquiring eyes to his own young master, after all, he had done something wrong, how could he dare to make his own decisions in front of his young master.

"Deposit? Do you think that this young master is the master who is short of thirty taels of silver? A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, but his tone was very cold, he glanced at Wang Ling with disdain, and sneered: "I said you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be a fool!" In this world, only the mouth of the dead is tight! I originally wanted to leave you a little life to live in the world, but you didn't want to cherish it, and even more pity the two brothers behind you, so I can only accompany you to hell! ”

At this point, the young man's decision was already very clear, and at the same time, a murderous intent flashed in Cao Yin's eyes, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Ling in front of him reacted no slower than him, Cao Yin had just made a decision, but Wang Ling in front of him had already moved.

"Bang!"

The quick punch landed firmly on the side face of Cao Yin, who had not made the slightest preparation, and he stumbled and fell to the side. And Wang Ling, who knew the critical situation at the moment, did not stop at all, raised a kick and kicked Cao Yin's side ribs fiercely, and immediately kicked the other party to the ground, and even the short sword in his hand fell.

"Wang Ling! Come on! Just remember to avenge us in the future! Xu Hong, who was deeply disturbed from beginning to end, did not hesitate, knowing that he would not have a long way to live, he immediately shouted out his wish, and then added loudly: "Hurry up!" Leave us alone! Take care of my mother! ”

"Wang Ling! Submit! Jia Jie was not to be outdone, knowing that he would inevitably become a burden when he was injured, he endured the pain of broken bones with a certain heart of death, picked up a wooden stick next to the bed and threw it out, and shouted to remind Wang Ling: "Leave us alone!" Walk! Remember to take care of Brother Hong's family! ”

In the small simple shack, it was impossible to use his fists and feet, and Wang Ling, who bent down and bowed his head, picked up the short sword that Cao Yin threw away, Wang Ling, who often fights, is not bad, plus the sharp blade in his hand, Cao Yin can only dodge left and right, and his own young master behind him retreated under the protection of his entourage, but he was even more angry: "Want to go? No way! Fence it off! Don't let any of them go! Chop it up and throw it in the sea to feed the fish! ”

"Brother Hong! Lao Jia! Get up! After I break off, you go first! Wang Ling swung out a sword to force Cao Yin back, and shouted loudly without looking back, and then feared that the two would not agree, so he hurriedly added loudly again: "We are three brothers, live and die together!" To walk together, to die together! Hurry up and go!! ”

"Boy! Can't go! It's all our people out there, honestly lay down your arms and give you a good time! Cao Yin raised his hand and rubbed the puffiness on the side of his face, spat on the ground, reached out and picked up an iron rod next to him, grinned, clenched the iron rod with a hideous face, and kept gesturing towards Wang Ling with a hideous smile.

"If you don't try, how can you know!" Wang Ling didn't dare to be careless, but he heard the movement behind him, but he had to stand in place and confront Cao Yin, so as to buy time for Xu Hong and Jia Jie behind him.

"Cao Yin! Hurry the fuck! Lao Tzu is in a hurry! You shit! It's been so long to clean up three slags! The young man outside the door scolded again, and Cao Yin, who was urged, frowned a little impatiently, but he didn't dare to say anything, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
