Reckless Youth of Delinquency

"No!" Brick said succinctly: "I will not worship her!"

I asked again: "Don't you like her?" Brick replied without thinking: "Of course not!" I said seriously: "You'd better think about it carefully before answering this question." As expected, Brick no longer liked her. He seemed to be deep in thought as he spoke, but within ten seconds, he immediately rolled over on the bed, sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and silently recited "Amitabha Amitabha".

The other people in the dormitory and I looked at each other, and everyone nodded at the same time, confirming the battle plan for the night.

Xu Xiaokai, who was on the bunk below Brick, said, "Brother Brick, let's sleep in different beds tonight? I want to try out what it feels like to sleep on the upper bunk." This was really not an excessive request, so Brick readily agreed. Wrapped in quilt, we went to the lower bunk.

Late at night, everything was silent, the dormitory was dark, and Brick's snoring sounded rhythmically. I stretched out my hand, snapped my fingers in the air, then sat up, put on my shoes and went to the ground. At the same time, Lei Yu and the others also put on their shoes and went to the ground, and everyone quietly gathered in front of Brick's bed. At my gesture, everyone rushed forward and held down the bricks with all their hands. Brick woke up immediately and shouted in fear: "What are you doing?!" Although he struggled hard, he still couldn't move.

I took the champion robe and, with the cooperation of everyone, slowly put it on Brick. Brick looked at his clothes in horror and continued to shout: "What are you doing? Why do you want me to wear this clothes?" I lowered my voice and said: "We are entrusted by the country to take the time machine back to the Ming Dynasty to handle the matter. The thing is, your identity is a top scholar, so don’t betray yourself!"

After hearing this, Brick was silent for a while and let us put his clothes on. Then he said, "Wang Hao, do you think I'm stupid?" I said, "You're not stupid, you're very smart. In this class tomorrow, you have to bow or not!" Then he took the thick hemp rope prepared in advance and tied Brick's hands and feet firmly, and then everyone went back to bed to rest. Brick lay on the bed and screamed, saying that we heartless people would be punished by God. He kept talking and kept talking, making it impossible for us to sleep. I stood up again, took out the socks from under Brick's pillow, and waved them in front of his face: "Brother Brick, if you keep nagging, I'll put this thing in your mouth." Brick immediately stopped talking. , lying in bed very well behaved.

I returned to bed to rest. After a while, Brick's snoring could be heard, and he must have fallen asleep.

Early the next morning, we carried the bricks to the classroom. I met many students along the way, all with astonished faces. We didn't care about other people's opinions, so we just carried Brick, who was tied up and wearing the red robe of the No. 1 scholar, across the campus. Anyway, we were not the ones who were embarrassed. The weather today is not very good, the temperature has suddenly dropped a lot, the sky is cloudy, and it seems that a heavy snow is brewing.

But the weather doesn't affect our mood. When I got to the classroom, I asked Brick to sit behind Ye Zhan. Then I took out Brick's smelly socks, waved them in front of him, and said, "Don't make such a fuss, otherwise you will know the consequences." Brick's expression was rather dull. I didn't feel angry, nor did I feel happy. I probably couldn't react to the current situation.

Since the self-study in the morning, people have been coming to visit Brick. Wang Hai, Zhou Qiangqiang, Cao Hongbin, and Yang Mengying’s little sisters. When they came into the classroom, they surrounded Brick and looked at them. They all smiled and said He said: "Congratulations to the groom, congratulations to the groom." Brick didn't dare to speak, and stared at these people fiercely, expressing his will to resist with his eyes.

I told them to come back after the second class and that it would be lively. Everyone said it was no problem and dispersed. After the second class, everyone came, including Zhou Mo and Bai Qing. Everyone was busy discussing, and someone asked: "Where is the bride? Why hasn't the bride come yet?" The Scorpion Girl said: "You are still putting on makeup upstairs. You will be down soon."

This sentence made everyone laugh. In everyone's opinion, it was a harmless joke and farce, but Yang Mengying put on makeup so seriously, and Brick was tied up and still angry, everyone thought it was quite interesting.

Zhou Mo looked out the window and said, "What a pity, the weather is bad, it might snow soon."

I said, "It's snowing. Let Brick and Yang Mengying finish their worship and go for a walk in the snow outside. It symbolizes the meaning of 'all the way to the end of the road'!" As soon as this suggestion was made, everyone cheered. They all said that this is what should be done. But Brick's face became even more ugly, and he fell down on the table, making everyone happy again.

While we were waiting for Yang Mengying, another thing happened in the school's infirmary...

Hou Shengshuo woke up leisurely, his vision was still a little blurry, and he vaguely saw a fat figure sitting beside the bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife, and the long apple skin almost reached the ground. Hou Shengshuo sighed softly and looked up at the white ceiling above his head. Hearing the sigh, He Juan said quickly: "Boss, are you awake?"

Hou Shengshuo nodded and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?" This time, he felt like he had slept for a long, long time. In the dream, Brick was always holding a brick, coming from all directions. He had no way to retreat or hide, so he could only accept the beating of brick after brick. In his dream, bricks have become a complete nightmare.

"One day and one night." He Juan answered his question and added: "But the doctor said don't worry, there won't be any sequelae. Brick is very measured in his approach. After all, he has been playing with this thing for many years."

Upon hearing this name, Hou Shengshuo clenched his fists tightly, rumpling the sheets into a ball, and a cold and vicious look flashed in his eyes. Seeing this scene, He Juan's hands trembled nervously, and she almost cut her hand with the fruit knife.

After a while, Hou Shengshuo's expression calmed down. He looked at the empty infirmary and asked, "Where is the second brother?" Hao Lei should be guarding his bed at this time. I wonder where he is?

He Juan bit her lip. She was always straightforward and hesitant, wondering whether she should tell Hou Shengshuo the truth. When he was told yesterday that Bai Qing and Zhou Mo were quitting, he was so angry that he threw the desks downstairs. If he was told again...

"Tell me." Hou Shengshuo stared into He Juan's eyes: "Is there anything I can't bear now?"

He Juan said: "Yesterday at noon, the second brother went to Brick for a duel and promised that whoever loses will leave Beiqi... The second brother lost, so he quit Seven Dragons and Six Phoenix yesterday and left Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School." By the end, her voice was very weak.

Hou Shengshuo took a long, long breath. Although he was mentally prepared, when he really faced the reality, it was still unbearable in his heart. Hou Shengshuo gasped for air, as if he was having an asthma attack. It seemed that this was the only way to suppress the anger in his chest. He Juan looked particularly nervous. At this time, Hou Shengshuo seemed even more terrifying than yesterday when he threw the table downstairs. After panting for more than a minute, Hou Shengshuo's breath slowly calmed down, and then he smiled bitterly: "Seven dragons and six phoenixes, only you and me are left." He Juan said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, we can No matter how much we recruit people, there will always be a lot of gangsters.”

"How late is it?" Hou Shengshuo continued to smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that before we can recruit people, Wang Hao will completely kill us both."

"We can ask him for peace." He Juan said: "And promise to never cause trouble to him again. If he wants to be the overlord of the Northern Seventh, let him be. In this way, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes can take a breather. Even if we live in Wang Hao’s shadow forever, as long as we persist in not disbanding, Seven Dragons and Six Phoenix will always have a moment of glory again.”

"Ask for peace?" Hou Shengshuo chewed these two words: "Ask for peace? Haha, I, Hou Shengshuo, have reached the point where I need to ask for peace from others? No, I will never ask for peace. Asking for peace is tantamount to bowing my head. I am I will never bow to others!"

He Juan looked at Hou Shengshuo blankly and let out a long sigh in her heart. She had known that Hou Shengshuo had this kind of character.

"Yes, never bow down." Hou Shengshuo's eyes revealed a determined light: "I would rather die on the battlefield than be wiped out in ashes. Even if the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes fight to the last person, they will never bow to anyone!" Even if he is sick now! He was lying on the bed sleepily, but he was still full of energy when he said these words. Then he looked at He Juan: "Are you still willing to stand by my side?"

He Juan put the apple on the bedside table next to her and said seriously: "Of course, we swore that we would never betray the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes in our lifetime." Yes, they swore that when they were in the third grade of elementary school , Hou Shengshuo and He Juan, because of fun, took the lead in forming an organization of "Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes". It was really popular to form gangs at that time, such as the Four King Kongs, the Nine Marshals, the Thirteen Taibao... But they were the only ones. Seven Dragons and Six Phoenix have persisted to this day, all because of the unwavering faith of Hou Shengshuo and He Juan!

"Yes, we swore an oath." Hou Shengshuo smiled: "As long as we are still there, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes will not fall."

There were thirteen people who swore an oath at that time, and they agreed that they would never betray the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes as long as they lived, but now only he and He Juan were left, still sticking to the oath they made when they were nine years old.

Ten years of ups and downs, only they themselves know the sadness. Only they themselves know how deep their feelings are for the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes. Over the years, the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes have had their share of disappointments, triumphs, infighting, and disintegration, but they have never been forced to this point like now. Whether it is Hou Shengshuo's determination to risk everything or He Juan's temporary compromise, it is all out of love for the "Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes".
