Overall, the map of Maple Grove approximates an inverted triangle.

On the top side is a stretch of mountains; At the bottom of the apex, a hundred-meter-wide river meanders.

The name of the river is Heshui, which was originally the moat of Fenglin Town, and now you can walk along the southernmost river of the city, and you can still vaguely find traces of the city wall of the year.

There is an east-west provincial highway that runs through the heart of Maple Grove Town, roughly dividing the town into two parts: north and south.

The irregular quadrilateral above, the east side is what people call Dongcheng, and the west side is what people are accustomed to calling Ximen Zhou. Underneath the provincial road, that is, to the south, is South Street.

As you know by now, South Street is not a street, but a generic name for an area. However, it is not an administrative division in the strict sense, but just a traditional and customary name.

In terms of area, South Street only accounts for a little more than one-fifth of Fenglin Town, but its status in the rivers and lakes has always been standing.

The era we live in has produced two types of characters with national characteristics: the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth.

Fenglin Town is not exempt from vulgarity, it also has its own second generation of production officials and rich second generation.

Walking down the street, if you see a young man with his eyes turned to the sky, rampage, and arrogant no matter who he talks to, then this person is either a madman or a second-generation official.

If you see a young man of eighteen or nineteen, with vain steps but full of foul language, a famous brand and dirty mess, and a tinkling yellow chain hanging up and down, then this person is either a fool or a rich second generation.

In addition, Fenglin Town also produces a character with local characteristics: the second generation of the boss of the rivers and lakes. One of the representative figures is the South Street Scarhead.

Scarhead, real name unknown. Nearly fifty years old. He is currently the boss of Upper South Street in Maple Grove Town. No matter who is on South Street, if there is a big or small dispute, they basically don't look for the neighborhood committee or the police, but they are looking for Scarhead.

Usually as long as Scarhead says a word, both reasonable and unreasonable, they are immediately silenced.

Scarhead was born in South Street, Fenglin Town, grew up in South Street, Fenglin Town, and has not left for decades. It is said that his fathers have lived in Fenglin Town South Street for hundreds of years.

Half of his current status is due to his own fame, and the other half is due to inheritance. Before him, his father Lao Scar dominated South Street for more than ten years.

In the early 80s of the last century, Scarhead's father, Lao Scar, fought hard with a bamboo knife and finally became the feared boss in the South Street area.

In the early 90s, Lao Scar was sentenced to 15 years for fighting and wounding people to death, and died of illness shortly after being imprisoned. All of a sudden, the dragons in the South Street of Fenglin Town were leaderless.

During this period, Scarhead, who was just in his early twenties, with the courage inherited from his father, temporarily appeared on the street, and soon after, in order to put an end to the chaos of daily fighting, several of the main characters sat together for a meal, held a meeting, and unanimously elected Scarhead as their boss.

As a result, South Street returned to calm.

In just a few years, Brother Biao dominated two-thirds of the territory of Fenglin Town, but he was never able to penetrate half a step into South Street, and the reason for this is that the situation of South Street is fundamentally different from that of Dongcheng and Ximen. It is mainly manifested in the following two aspects:

First, there are very few foreign residents in South Street, and all of them are native-born locals.

In the early days, the center of Maple Grove Town was actually on South Street, but later the city encroached on the northeast and northwest, and the city center moved north several times, making South Street a chaotic, old and old urban area.

The migrant population and migrant workers who moved to the city rarely gathered in this area, and all settled in the east or west gate.

In Dongcheng and Ximenzhou, hooligans and ordinary residents are two distinct types of people, each with its own active and inhabited places. Therefore, in these two places, you only need to subdue those hooligans and ruffians who are in their early stages, and you will succeed for the most part.

Ordinary residents, such as migrant workers and small traders, students, office workers, are bullied characters that are much easier to deal with.

And South Street is different. Since the inhabitants of this place were born and raised, all of them have been related by blood to a greater or lesser distance or near over the past hundred years. As a result, it is difficult to distinguish street hooligans from ordinary residents.

Hooligans are residents, and residents are hooligans.

They have their own internal conflicts, and there are scars that come forward to calm down. In the event of a conflict with the outside, South Street is almost entirely a soldier.

Suppose a hooligan in the East City or the West Gate chases and slashes a small person on South Street with a knife. As long as the latter fled into South Street, as soon as he whistled, everyone put down no matter what they were doing before, and stood on the side of the street with all kinds of weapons in hand.

The former, whether it is reasonable or not, has to turn around and retreat immediately, if you are not interested, you have to pretend to be cool and playful, and finally you can walk out of South Street with your whole body, basically not. If you don't die, you have to shed your skin.

Second, South Street has been operating a legal business since ancient times: coffins and their derivatives.

Almost all of the dead people's belongings such as coffins or wreaths needed in Maple Grove Township, including the surrounding villages, are produced in South Street. The survival of every household on South Street is almost closely related to this industry.

The disputes between their own people on South Street almost all stem from friction in the business of the deceased.

Walking on South Street, you can see a coffin shop 100 steps away. The storefront or workshop sandwiched between the two coffin shops is a wreath maker, a paper money seller, and a dead coin.

In the 21st century, it has also kept pace with the times, giving birth to many dead man's villas and dead man's mobile phones - not other brands, only Apple. There are even two and three mothers tied with paper for the living to burn for the dead to enjoy.

As long as the living have used something, the corresponding dead person's thing can be found here.

So, South Street has another scary name: Death Zone.

It is conceivable why the foreign population is shunning this place.

People born and raised in the death zone don't seem to be so afraid of death, at least verbally, those young people talk about death so lightly, and even have a Xu Zhimo-style chic.

The so-called I wave my sleeves and don't take away a cloud.

And when fighting with outsiders, this group of native-born little hooligans, with one hand in the knife, shouted in their mouths:

"The coffins are all ready-made, I'm afraid of him."

Regardless of whether they are really not afraid of death, or they are not afraid of death, anyway, as soon as this remark comes out, they can usually scare the opponent into holding their heads. After all, people are also mixing rivers and lakes for a bite to eat, and there is no need to fight for it.

Scarhead is the boss of South Street, and he is not like other hooligan big brothers, who live by collecting protection money from small traders. He didn't need it at all, because he himself ran the largest coffin shop on South Street, as well as the largest wreath shop.

Recently, he even formed a band dedicated to the dead.

Scarhead is the boss of the obligatory nature, specializing in resolving disputes for his own family on South Street. In the face of foreign enemies, he is a commanding character, and he does not need to do it himself at all.

It is precisely because of the nature of obligation that it has a high prestige and is basically unshakable. Everyone here has their own business, and no one wants to shake his status.

And the foreign dragon crossing the river, no one can fight against the whole people in this death zone.

Brother Biao, who likes to tell stories and acts viciously, was not willing to give up this territory at first, and personally went to South Street to investigate, and when he came back, he shook his head and said:

"It's the closest place to Lord Yama, and no one can afford to mess with it except Monkey King."

As a result, at the beginning of the 21st century, in the rivers and lakes of Fenglin Town, Brother Biao unified the West Gate and the East City, while the South Street was still under the jurisdiction of Scarhead.

But that didn't last long. Only three years, to be exact.

Three years later, it was not a fundamental conflict between the north and the south, and finally a crucial victory or defeat, but another person who rose to the north of the rivers and lakes. This person is Zhou Weiliang, who was detailed in detail earlier.

Ordinary thugs on the street fight, technically amateurish. How strong the so-called martial arts are, it is all poisoned by martial arts novels; The so-called masters are among the people, and they are also known by the ignorant.

In fact, real street fights, as long as you dare to play scoundrels, almost half of them are won.

If you stand on the street with a kitchen knife and a face covered in chicken blood, as long as the police don't interfere, you can frighten most of the street hooligans. Play a few more times, and if nothing else, you'll basically be able to climb to the position of a street rogue boss.

In Fenglin Town, before the rise of Zhou Weiliang, the conflicts between hooligans had no technical content to speak of, and they were usually mainly used to scare, supplemented by scoundrels, and if they didn't work, they would play yin.

Because of this, Brother Biao's self-woven story, coupled with a cold and vicious atmosphere, can achieve such a good effect. Eventually, he became a tyrant in Maple Grove Town.

It wasn't until Zhou Weiliang broke into the rivers and lakes that he brought street fights into the professional era. As we all know, Zhou Weiliang was a soldier, and it is said that he was still a special soldier, and he received professional and comprehensive training for fighting.

Coincidentally, like Brother Biao, Zhou Weiliang's career in the rivers and lakes also started in Dongcheng.

Unlike Brother Biao, although Zhou Weiliang has been a teacher, he never tells stories about his brains, and he doesn't pretend to be deep nonsense.

His method is very simple, whoever does not accept will be beaten. And it is a professional method, and others are simply unable to compete. Only the crying father and mother, hugging the head and running away.

Therefore, Zhou Weiliang made up his mind to mix the rivers and lakes, and it only took a few months to snatch most of Brother Biao's territory in Dongcheng.

In the past few months, Biao Ge's men have many cadres, but they have never organized a decent defensive battle.

Those guys who were impressed by Brother Biao's fictional and real stories, in addition to escaping, surrendered to Zhou Weiliang.

Brother Biao felt a huge pressure in his heart, but he was obviously unconvinced. I can't let my hard-earned territory be given up so easily.

He was determined to organize a decent sniper battle. As long as one is enough, he has seen from some TV series, most turf battles in history, usually only need one decisive battle.

One day, Brother Biao gathered all his henchmen and held a huge mobilization meeting. After three rounds and impassioned cheering, Brother Biao concluded:

"He alone is a little stronger, our soldiers are strong and strong, and if you can't beat him, you have to tire him to death."

The "he" here refers to Zhou Weiliang. The following group of minions, bewitched by Brother Biao, were determined to completely eradicate Zhou Weiliang, who robbed them of their jobs, that night.

However, Brother Biao really looked away at Zhou Weiliang. Not only did the other party have long expected this battle sooner or later, but also ambushed spies by his side, learned the specific details of his mobilization of his subordinates, and knew the specific time when he would launch the battle.

So, this night, Zhou Weiliang summoned more than a dozen comrades-in-arms.

The battle that night was also described earlier. It was the most sensational battle in the history of Fenglin Town. The fighting took place in the second half of the night, when both the good citizens and the police were asleep.

The crying father and mother on the street can't pull people out of the warm bed.

Brother Biao's side was outnumbered, and it is said that as many as 50 troops were invested that night. Zhou Weiliang's side only had a dozen comrades-in-arms plus himself, but he had a crushing advantage over Brother Biao.

That's the difference between professional and amateur.

As a result of this battle, three were killed and thirty wounded. The dead and wounded were all from Brother Biao's side, and he himself was unscathed because he ran fast. Before dawn, Zhou Weiliang's comrades-in-arms all quietly withdrew from Fenglin Town.

After dawn, the police intervened and did not find Zhou Weiliang's head at all. Brother Biao was held at the police station for fifteen days and answered countless questions before he was released.

This battle basically laid the pattern of the rivers and lakes of Fenglin Town. Brother Biao later took the initiative to invite Zhou Weiliang to have a meal at the Silk Hotel, during the banquet, Brother Biao dipped his fingers in the wine, drew a line in the center of the table, half-closed his eyes sighed and said:

"The east city belongs to you, and I will guard the west gate. Since then, the well water does not interfere with the river water. Gotta save food for my brothers, right? ”

Zhou Weiliang smashed his fist on the table:

"Hammer, that's it."

Zhou Weiliang agrees with such a division of territory, which can be regarded as having a clear understanding of the situation:

First of all, his dozen or so comrades-in-arms can't always come and go every day;

Secondly, Brother Biao was defeated before, but this person is still not to be underestimated, although the stories circulating on the street are true or false, but it is true that Brother Biao was beaten in Quanzhou, and it is also true that he went home to beat his wife.

With these two pieces alone, you have to save face for the other party.

So, Dongcheng and Ximen reached peace by verbal agreement. After that, each plays its own game. As for South Street, Zhou Weiliang has never planned to fight for it. At this point, he has the same thing as Brother Biao's hero:

"In that land of death, except for the Monkey King, no one dares to mess with it."

Since then, the situation of the rivers and lakes in Fenglin Town can be regarded as three points in the world.

This situation lasted for eight years.

Until Zhou Weiliang died suddenly.
