Chapter 50: Downfall

In the dilapidated district, a street nicknamed Rotten End is often filled with all kinds of people sitting up.

The reasons for frustration are different, but the way they are presented is the same numbness and sluggishness. No amount of hardship and suffering can arouse their emotions more.

This short street, like a small road, is tied between two high-rise buildings with mottled and black walls, which is narrow and damp, and full of garbage, and all you hear is foul language.

Shen Zhijin was lying on the ground with a bottle of beer, and there were many bottles and cans at his feet.

His forehead was soaked, his face was a little embarrassed red marks, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, a bottle of wine and a blood stain on his hand were still leisurely.

Apart from human voices, in the silence of the night, only a few lonely cat meows sounded.

"Brother, it's not me talking about you, what do you do to care about these idle things, you never did this before."

A boy with a red face sat next to Shen Zhijin, chattering, and his eyes were stained with cruelty from time to time.

He has a short haircut, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy wheat complexion. He was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and a pair of trousers stained with dark black traces. didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and the empty wine bottles at Shen Zhijin's feet were all drunk by him.

He reached out and wiped his face, and was not surprised to see his hands covered in blood.

There was a dull pain in too many places, and I didn't know where the wound was bleeding. Or someone else's blood.

Shen Zhijin raised his head and took a sip of wine, which was spicy in his mouth, all the way to his stomach. In this autumn night with a cold wind, there are some benefits.

He brushed his soaked forehead hair onto his head, and tapped his index finger lightly against the wall of the bottle twice. Suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, Mo Zhe." This isn't the first time we've fought, and we've never seen you talk about it that long. ”

Mo Zhe was even more angry when he heard him say this, scolded rudely, took a big sip of wine, and said angrily: "In the past, it was a last resort, and I could only fight, but if I beat it, I could stabilize it for a while." But now this... I've never done this to block a few girls! ”

Shen Zhijin turned his head to look at him.

Mo Zhe was uncomfortable when he was looked at, and said in a rough voice: "Look at what Lao Tzu is doing, am I not right?" ”

"Didn't say you were wrong." Shen Zhijin said: "I'm wondering, should I go buy you a few more bottles of wine." ”

"That's a good feeling!" After Mo Zhe said this happily, he smiled again, coughed deliberately, and said, "Although... It's good, but brother, I think you still have to reflect on what you did last night. Aunt Shen is right, we still have to be able to stop causing trouble without causing trouble, otherwise, if we provoke something that should not be provoked, it will be a dead end. ”

Shouldn't... Provoked?

Seeing that Shen Zhijin ignored him, Mo Zhe scratched his head and said, "I know that I don't read much, and I haven't been as smart as you since I was a child. But you think, how dangerous it is tonight. The women only found five or six thugs, and they beat us up like this. If they hadn't been happy to come to this shabby area, we'd all have to stay in the hospital now. If it is not cured, it is also a large amount of money. ”

Shen Zhijin lowered his head and responded lightly: "Got it." ”

He said he knew, but if he did it again, he would still do it. will still record them as soon as they hear them talk about bullying Yu Mian, and then block them in the alley to threaten and intimidate.

Shen Zhijin thought to himself: "Yue Yandan and the others locked Yu Mian in the toilet, and he blocked them in the alley. Yue Yandan and the others poured a bucket of water on Yu Mian, and it rained last night. It's the same, and I got the recording, which is not a loss. ”

Mo Zhe licked his lips, rubbed his hands again, and asked carefully, "Brother, then do you still buy me wine?" ”

Shen Zhijin took out dozens of pieces from his schoolbag and gave them to Mo Zhe in bits and pieces. The small shops here sell beer for only two yuan a bottle, which is the cheapest, enough to buy a lot.

Mo Zhe happily took the money and ran out of the street.

Shen Zhijin looked at his vague back and drank the last sip of beer in the bottle in his hand.

Mo Zhe has only had one grandfather with him since he was a child, and he doesn't know who his parents are. There are often many people in the family who collect debts and come to the house, and Grandpa Mo can't cope with it, so he can only hide once he sees it. Once he didn't dodge, a man not only pushed Grandpa Mo to the ground, but even beat Mo Zhe, who was only junior high school at the time.

After Shen Zhijin bumped into him, he beat that person up with Mo Zhe, who was short at the time, and later became friends in a daze.

In this way, it has been four years since he and his mother Shen Tianyi came here.

"Brother! Elder brother! Mo Zhe ran over with several bottles of beer in his arms, with an obvious smile on his face: "Look! I bought five beers! ”

A homeless man who was sleeping on the ground seemed to be woken up, muttered something, trembled and rolled over, and fell silent again.

Mo Zhe glimpsed it, lightened his steps, and waited until he reached Shen Zhijin's side before he smirked happily again.

Shen Zhijin doesn't drink often, and after drinking a bottle intermittently tonight, his head is also dizzy. was blown by the wind, and then he was sober again.

"That's right, brother." Mo Zhe returned the rest of the money to Shen Zhijin: "Brother, you put away the rest of the money, it's not easy for you to make money." I don't need that much, five more bottles are enough. ”

Shen Zhijin didn't agree or stop him, and let him stuff the money into his schoolbag. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "You say, will the sun shine on the back side?" ”

"Huh?" Mo Zhe scratched his head and looked at the dark sky, not understanding why his brother suddenly mentioned the sun. I can only say uncertainly: "No, right?" ”

Mo Zhe said: "Don't look at me, I haven't finished junior high school, but it's all sunny, and it can't be illuminated by the sun, I still know." ”

"Well, I can't."

It's really not illuminated.

Shen Zhijin staggered to his feet, bent down and patted Mo Zhe's shoulder, picked up the schoolbag on the ground, and waved goodbye: "It's late, I'll go back first, my mother may still be waiting for me." ”

"Okay." Mo Zhe hurriedly picked up the unopened bottle of wine and nodded: "Brother, go back quickly, Aunt Shen should be in a hurry." ”

After the others left, Mo Zhefu sat down again, and always felt that today's Shen Zhijin was a little different from usual.

Sun... What does it mean to not be able to shine on the sunny side?

It was getting darker and darker, Mo Zhe drank the wine at hand, picked up the remaining bottles, patted the ashes on his body and went home.

His brother is different from him, and he will be a very powerful person in the future. He didn't know what his brother was thinking, so he never took these things to heart, and the most unwilling thing for him was the punch that didn't come back in the afternoon.

Mo Zhe muttered, "Hmph, don't let me see that dog thing next time, I have to beat it back." ”
