San'er: "Have you ever heard of Renbi?" They will make people into blind people with no hands, no feet, no ears and eyes, and they will be dragged to the downtown area every day to beg, and no one will know whether this person is man-made or born, and this person will become their tool, using people's compassion to get money. ”

San'er's words made me stunned, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my back.

"My boss has some ways, but whether he wants to come out of this way depends on what he means, you know, it's not a good thing to stick this dog skin plaster."

I clasped my hands into fists and said: "Thank you, you have this heart, brotherly appreciation, but I still want to deal with this matter myself, as for what kind of result does not matter, let it be fate." ”

"Are you really sure?"

I nodded, picked up the wine, touched it to San'er and said, "Brother, thank you!" If I'm still alive, I'll look for you for a drink at this time tomorrow. Then he drank it all, and the spicy taste filled his mouth again, and then a stream of heat burned down his throat and into his stomach.

I was a little sick to my stomach, and I forced my mouth to keep my mouth shut, and after a while, the feeling of turning over the river and the sea subsided.

I felt a little up, but my consciousness was still quite clear, and I hugged my fist at San'er, stood up, and the dog leftover who was standing aside was afraid that I would fall, so he reached out to help me.

I patted the dog's leftover hand with my hand and smiled at him: "Brother, I'm fine, let's go." ”

Wine is a good thing, a glass of wine, the whole body is like a fire, there seems to be endless energy on the body, even walking feels a lot lighter, I don't care about standing up to send my third son and let go of my arm, and walked out of the bar by himself.

San'er shouted from behind: "Brother, I'll wait for you here tomorrow!" ”

I don't know San'er, I don't know each other, we can't even be friends, San'er wants to make friends with me, there may be his plans, what about me, a desperate rotten boy who broke through in Shanghai, I'm afraid he looked down on him.

I didn't turn around, I waved my hand back, and the greeter at the door bent over me with a smile and said in her sweet voice that I welcome you next time.

I nodded and told her that I would definitely come back next time, and next time I came, I would definitely have a good drink with San'er, whether he had a spicy throat or not, whether he burned his stomach or not, and had a drunken party!

At that time, there was no subway to Changshou Road, so I went out and asked someone for the bus route, and I needed to turn twice to get to the place where the cap said.

It's six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's two hours before the cap says eight.

I hesitated to tell my cousin, thinking about this point, she may have gone out to work, think about it or forget it, if she knows that I provoked the beggars, she will not be scared half to death, maybe there will be a lot of troubles, since I can't hide, it is better to just go over like this, isn't it just a life of a hundred or ten catties, hand it over.

I had just drunk a stomach full of wine, and I didn't even eat any food, and the noon somen had already been digested cleanly, and I could feel my stomach protesting to me, and I urgently needed to fill up some food.

I walked down the street and saw a restaurant, and I didn't ask if it was to taste, but asked for a bowl of rice and a plate of food.

When I ate it, I realized that this was a Hunan restaurant, and my tears fell when this dish was spicy.

I really didn't know that there was such spicy food in the world, so I ate a bite of the dish and killed all the bowls of rice to suppress my mouth that looked like it was on fire.

I felt my lips swelled with spiciness, and I felt like I was breathing through my nose.

After many years, whenever I think about the first time I ate Hunan food, I feel like my mouth is on fire.

Later, I was able to eat some spicy food, but I still didn't dare to touch the authentic Hunan food.

Finally filled my stomach and got up and went out to find the bus stop.

Sitting in the car, I was still thinking, if I had a chance to retreat now, I could leave the city, leave these people, and find a job somewhere else, but wouldn't there be a fight anywhere else? Wouldn't there be danger anywhere else? You may encounter obstacles that you can't get over anywhere, you can't hide from today, you can't hide from tomorrow, you have to face what you should face, and you will never be able to survive by hiding.

I followed the bus around at about 7:40 a.m., and I arrived at the longevity road that the cap said.

It's still an old street, there is no noise of the city, from time to time there are people pushing the sales cart and shouting, there are not many cars on the road, there are pedestrians walking past me, they (she) speak a dialect that I don't understand very well, or hurry or slow, there is no mood for me to go to the meeting alone.

When I was in elementary school, it happened to be the time when Hong Kong and Taiwan films were stationed in the mainland, and what kind of old boy black and astringent would fill the theaters and video halls, many of us boys learned the same, and also privately organized a lot of this and that meeting, I had a little martial arts skills, and I was elected by everyone to be the head of the organization, and staged many street fights, and my father did the most at that time was to go to the house of the child who was beaten to apologize, and then come back to beat me fat.

I still insisted on growing the Iron Fist Gang of seven or eight of us into more than thirty people, and it was not disbanded until I was in high school.

After four or five years of fighting, my biggest gain is that I can be beaten and I can beat people.

Even my cousin has taken a lot of light with me, she has not been bullied once since she was a child, because everyone knows that there is such a brother who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and boys hide when they see her, she told me more than once that other girls have received notes from boys, but she has not, not only no note, but also no good looks.

She said, "You have to marry me when you're old, because of you, I don't have anyone to ask for it."

I solemnly told her at the time, I will definitely marry you, and I will marry you as a wife.

Of course, this is a childhood joke, none of us mentioned this stubble when we were older, although we are distant cousins, and there is no fetters of marriage law, but I know that the two of us cannot and will not come together.

However, my cousin is really good to me, better than my own sisters and brothers.

I stood on the street, looking at the large and small stores looking for the number 88 of the cap.

No. 88 is not a store, it is a gate, and there is a striking small blue sign on the pitch-black folio wooden door, and the outline of 88 can be vaguely seen on the mottled card.

The gate was closed, and on either side of the door were a pair of half-man-tall stone lions, with fangs, as if demonstrating to me.

I pushed the door, and the two wooden doors creaked open, and a vicious dog weighing more than 100 pounds suddenly burst out, with two paws on my shoulders, and the blood-red tongue was spitting out the old man, almost sticking to my face.

The foul smell of the vicious dog's breath hit my nose, and the bloody mouth could swallow my whole head.

At this time, a strange voice came from inside: "Wangcai, the guests are here, do you have to be polite?" Hurry down. ”

The vicious dog obediently lowered its front legs and stood across from me, panting, eyes still full of hostility.

I ignored its eyes, and walked forward, and it took a step back as I walked, always with its head facing me.

This is a courtyard with 300 square meters, in the urban area of the magic capital, what does it mean to have such a large courtyard, not counting the three-story buildings in the courtyard, there are more than ten rooms on each floor, the building is the kind of blue brick building in the sixties and seventies, it looks like a school in that era.

In the middle of the courtyard sat a scrawny old man, dressed in a Chinese-style moon-white coarse cloth shirt, with long gray hair draped over his shoulders, and a pair of eyes that looked like dead fish eyes glowing white.

When I looked at it, I thought it was a mummy.

The strange sound just now must have come from him.

On either side of the old man were two men in peaked caps, standing with their elbows crossed.

Old man: "Young man, report your name." ”

"Chen Xiaoxu."

"Good name, young man, do you know why you are here?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know? Good! Then let me help you recall, did you break my game? ”

I looked at him coldly and whispered, "I don't know what the old gentleman is talking about." ”

The old man frowned, it was estimated that he was used to listening to obedient words, and suddenly someone contradicted him, a little unaccustomed.

"Call people out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the room and the woman he met in the subway station, she was the only one, not the child.

She walked up to the old man step by step, bowed to the old man, and whispered sir.

The old man turned back to the caps on both sides and said, "Hang me up!" ”

The two people answered, reached out and grabbed the woman, dragged her by the arm to a gantry next to her, pulled the hemp rope from the horizontal bar, tied the woman's hands, and pulled hard, the woman's legs were pulled off the ground and hung on the gantry.

The woman's face was twisted in pain, but she didn't say a word, her eyes were closed.

"Do you know why you hung her?"

"I don't know."

"Because of you! She lost her hand because you made trouble, and let her plant it today, because she was not good at learning and broke the rules of my beggar gang, you say, should she be punished? ”
