Reckless Youth of Delinquency

Since my last trip to Beiyuan, my life has returned to calmness. I take care of the business in the store every day, and my phone is still turned off, leaving me no time to think about anything else. More than a month has passed in a flash, and the weather has completely warmed up, and it’s time to enter the rhythm of summer. Once the weather starts to get hot, the business in the store is not very good, and the streets are full of stalls selling cold dishes and beer. We were no exception. We set up a beer stall in front of the store and sold some peanuts and edamame.

When there are guests, I am busy. When there are no guests, I sit in the rocking chair, shake it with a paper fan, and watch the sunset slowly sinking. It is also a very enjoyable thing. This time I completely lost contact with everyone in Beiyuan. Because Yu Chengfei had told them not to disturb my life, I lived a very quiet, carefree and happy life. As the saying goes: "There are hundreds of flowers in spring and moon in autumn, and there is a cool breeze in summer and winter." Snow. If you don’t have anything else to worry about, every year is a good time.”

Often, I fall asleep sitting in the rocking chair. In my dreams, I will also miss the past life of swords and swords and passion. When I woke up, I stood up excitedly and struck hard with the paper fan in my hand. I realized that it was a frightening dream. I shook my head and smiled bitterly.

This afternoon, I had just seen off a group of guests, and when I was lowering my head to clean up the residue on the table, I suddenly saw a pair of feet standing in front of me. I didn't even raise my head, and reflexively said, "Are you drinking? Sit down quickly!" The man said, "Drink until you get drunk!" I raised my head in surprise: "Ye Zhan!" The person who came was exactly that. I haven’t seen Ye Zhan for more than a month, and I found that he seemed to have gained some weight. He must have gained weight in the hospital bed. But his style remains the same, and he still looks like a handsome guy walking on the street.

"Mouse!" We hugged each other warmly and laughed heartily at the same time.

"Hey, how are you?!" I looked at his whole body in surprise. "It's okay." Ye Zhan walked around in place and even jumped. It was indeed okay. "Sit down, sit down." I pulled him to sit down, then went to serve two plates of cold dishes and poured two large glasses of bubbling draft beer. I picked up one of the glasses and said happily: "Brother, congratulations on your new life!" Ye Zhan also picked up the beer and bumped it heavily with me. Both of them raised their necks and drank it down.

I filled up the beer again and said with a smile, "Not bad. Last time I saw you, you couldn't walk, but this time you can run and jump."

"That's right." Ye Zhan picked up the beer and touched it with me again. This time he didn't finish it so quickly, but drank it in small sips. "I've regained my life, what about you? What are you preparing for?" Is it time to regain a new lease of life?”

"I'm already regaining my life." I spread my arms and said, "Opening this store and living a small life, not to mention how comfortable it is."

"Are you ready to make a clean break with the past?"

"Yes." I nodded and drank.

"You are not someone who is willing to remain silent." Ye Zhan said: "Everyone is waiting for you to go back. After conquering Chenggao and Beiqi, Brother Yu still needs your help. Brother Yu is surrounded by enemies from both sides, including Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong. He can't even go back to school."

I said strangely: "Brother Yu didn't go back to school because he wanted to watch the show at the Internet cafe, right?"

"No." Ye Zhan said: "Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong are going to fight to the death in school. They are afraid that Yu Chengfei will take the opportunity to get involved, so they explicitly prohibit him from returning to the vocational college. When one of the parties is completely victorious, Yu Chengfei can Return to the vocational college to compete with the winner. When the winner between Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong is still undecided, Yu Chengfei must stay outside the school honestly and is not allowed to step into the gate of the vocational college at will, otherwise he will be attacked by the other two parties. Siege—this is the real reason why Brother Yu doesn’t return to the vocational college.”

"This..." I said in surprise: "It sounds like nothing. But no matter who wins, Qiu Feng or Nie Yuanlong, the winning side will definitely swallow up the remaining forces of the losing side. They are already much stronger than Brother Yu. Wouldn’t this make it even more…”

"Who says it's not?" Ye Zhan sighed.

I stood up suddenly and took a few steps back and forth. Yu Chengfei seemed to be facing a huge disaster. This...

"You need to return to Beiyuan." Ye Zhan said: "Use the power of Chenggao and Beiqi to help Brother Yu win the Vocational College."

I sat down and was silent for a while and said: "There are Bricks and the Four Heavenly Kings in Chenggao, you and the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes are in Beiqi. It's the same with or without me. You can also help Brother Yu, I... I am still……"

"It's different!" Ye Zhan said seriously: "Mouse, think about it carefully. Will the bastards in Chenggao listen to Brick? Will they listen to the Four Heavenly Kings? When have they not come out for your sake? As for Beiqi, I temporarily command the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes, and I can still mobilize other gangsters. But with you here, the people will be more unified, and you are the unchanging backbone of everyone!"

"Mouse, come back, everyone needs you..." Ye Zhan looked at me seriously.

I gasped for breath, and the scene of Yang Mengying falling appeared again and again in front of my eyes. The sound of gunshots, snowflakes, and figures...were spinning around in my mind. Unknowingly, I grabbed my hair hard and forced myself not to think about that again. But it was useless, those scenes seemed to have taken root, growing and spinning in my mind, filling every corner.

"Mouse..." Ye Zhan held my wrist in panic: "Are you okay?"

I slowly calmed down and said softly: "It's okay."

"Okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back. I won't force you." Ye Zhan said, "Actually, Brother Yu didn't let us come to you. I only came to you to catch up on old times because I was discharged from the hospital. I have said so much without realizing it, alas! Stop talking about this and drink!"

Ye Zhan and I drank half a barrel of draft beer, and no one mentioned returning to Beiyuan. We kept talking about happy things. In the end, both of us were so drunk that we were dizzy and unconscious. We didn't know why we got home and fell asleep. The next day, I sent Ye Zhan off and continued working in the store. After more than ten days of this, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the summer night activities in Dongguan Town are becoming more and more vigorous. The residents are willing to go out for a drink after dinner and chat with two or three friends. Naturally, the business has been increasing steadily, and Xiao Zhishan's commission has also increased accordingly. When I had nothing to do, I did some calculations for him. One whole summer was equal to the total income of the other three seasons.

After doing the calculation, I shook my head and smiled bitterly. The business in their business was so profitable. I just walked around in the farmer's market a few times every day, and my pocket became thicker. I don't know how he will be happy after he returns. On this day, I was greeting other guests. When I turned around, I saw that Xiao Zhishan and his brothers had already occupied a table. Seeing this, I immediately greeted: "Mom, hurry up and serve Brother Shan some wine and food." Then I walked over and found to my surprise that Xiao Zhishan was frowning, Mao Xiaoqiang and the others were also in a bad mood, and a bunch of People sit there and sigh, as if someone owes them money and hasn't paid them yet.

"What's wrong, Brother Shan?" I asked strangely: "You drink wine every day and make money, why do you still look like this?"

"Brother," Xiao Zhishan said, "This money is very hot to earn, and every day you make it means you lose one day."

I was even more surprised: "What's going on?"

"Donkey Kong has said that he is going to end things with me in the next few days, so I need to be well prepared."

"Oh, he is scaring you. This is psychological warfare. He deliberately wants you to taste this torture. He wants you to lose without fighting!"

"I've been around for so many years, but I still don't understand this?" Xiao Zhishan said painfully: "But I know that I can't do it anymore. Donkey Kong is young and energetic, and whether he plays psychological warfare or not, he is bound to win."

"Brother Shan, don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. What's wrong with his King Kong? He has a nose and a mouth. When you came out to fool around, he was still sucking milk in his mother's arms!" I could only Such encouragement to Xiao Zhishan.

"Alas..." Xiao Zhishan sighed: "Now... now... I can't scare people with a gun."

"Brother Shan!" The man selling Malatang opposite also rushed over and asked in a surprised tone: "I heard that Donkey Kong is going to take over the farmer's market instead of you, and will give him 20% of the profits in the future?"

I took a breath of cold air. Xiao Zhishan charges 10% of the protection fee here. When King Kong first arrived, he wanted to charge 20%? Everyone is doing small business, and it is not easy to make some money. Don't you think Donkey Kong will let everyone live if they suddenly take away 20%?

Xiao Zhishan nodded with a painful expression, and Mao Xiaoqiang and the others also sighed. The man was anxious: "How can this be done? Brother Shan, you must not leave the farmer's market to him." When he shouted, the surrounding traders gathered around, and they all got the news, and they all said, "Brother Shan , you can't leave." "Brother Shan, you have to defeat Donkey Kong." "Brother Shan, although we often scold you in private, you are still much kinder than Donkey Kong. You haven't had a raise in so many years. Price!" "Why are you scolding Brother Shan? It's not like he took the money and didn't do anything, and he usually protects us, right?"

Over the years, many vendors at the farmer's market have regularly paid Xiao Zhishan 10% of their income in addition to regular payments to the government for health fees and management fees. The key point is that there was a quarrel among the vendors, but the government never paid attention to this matter, and Xiao Zhishan had to come out to help everyone settle it. It can be said that although everyone usually scolds Xiao Zhishan for eating bones without spitting out the residue, they still habitually go to him when something goes wrong. Now there is news that Donkey Kong is going to be replaced by Donkey Kong to take over the farmer's market. According to legend, Donkey Kong is a cruel and violent bastard. When he comes, everyone will definitely have nothing to eat, so all the vendors in the market are a little nervous. Anxious.

If Xiao Zhishan is a biting dog, then Donkey Kong is a man-eating wolf. Rather than being eaten by a wolf, it is better to continue being bitten by a dog. The key is that the dog also plays a role in guarding the home and the courtyard. I think this is everyone’s mentality now.
