He Chusan deliberately put on a mask for himself and ran downstairs. A regular visitor to the dental office was waiting for his father's surgery downstairs. At this time, he asked with inferior cotton, "Asan? You are not going to school today?"
"He has a cold and rests at home, haha!" Dentist He quickly said with his son's mask. He was too frightened today, and there was another big Buddha hidden in his home, and he didn't want to open the business. He Chusan thought that a sudden vacation would cause suspicion. The two father and son took advantage of the early morning to clean up the blood in the store and still open the door to pick up customers.
He Chusan greeted this uncle in a hoarse voice and hurried out the door. I turned to the Fat Sister Snack Shop next door and bought a large bowl of curry beef offal, and brought it back steamingly.
"Do you still eat beef offal when you have a cold?" the frequent visitor said with cotton in his mouth.
"Why can't you eat beef offal when you have a cold! Beef offal nourishes qi and nourishes blood, and it is the top grade meat!" Dentist He said hurriedly.
Where is the beef offal? He Chusan glanced at his father speechlessly, feeling that his father was too nervous and would have to dress up sooner or later.
Dentist He was so nervous that he almost rushed to the street to beat gongs and drums and shout, "There are absolutely no Tibetans on the second floor of my house." Trembling as he watched his son go upstairs with beef offal, he felt that his lungs were about to burst out.
He Chusan helped Xia Liuyi up to eat beef offal. Xia Liuyi had stab wounds on his back and leaned against the wall with his unshot arm, expressionlessly just eating. He Chusan squatted back and continued to read the book.
Xia Liu took a few breaths and finished off a whole bowl of beef offal. As if he had finally calmed down, he exhaled a long breath, leaned against the wall for a while, and suddenly said, "Water."
He Chusan poured him a large glass of water and waited for him to finish drinking. The old man said again, "Smoke."
This time, He Chusan shook his head, "Without cigarettes, you are injured and cannot smoke."
"Fuck!" Xia Liuyi said, "Smoke!"
He watched helplessly as this fucking Indian Asan had the guts to sit back and read the book again, ignoring him completely.
Xia Liuyi stared for a while, feeling that it was meaningless, so he leaned back against the wall and continued to be in a daze. The two of them were silent, and they passed the morning peacefully.
At noon, He Chusan closed the book, stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and then asked Xia Liuyi, "What would you like to eat?"
"Beef offal."
He Chusan dug out the "draft fee" that Xia Liuyi gave him before from the small iron box, and Ding Ding Dong Dong went downstairs and bought him three whole bowls of beef offal. The fat sister began to wonder if the beef offal pot in her house had fallen out. Go in a pack of "white noodles", otherwise how can you be so addicted.
Xia Liuyi observed the room while eating beef offal. This is a small hut of less than ten square meters. Basically, except for the bed, there is a large stool plus a small stool, and a bookcase in the corner. It was washed clean and white. The curtains were drawn, and it was impossible to see what was outside the window.
The bookcase, bedside, and floor were densely piled up with books, most of which were yellow and old, as if they had been bought from an old book stand. There are also several tomes that look new and refined.
He Chusan neatly put away the tomes borrowed from the school library, put them in a tattered schoolbag, and placed a large bowl on the stool that was used as a table top. BBQ pork and a fried egg.
"Hey," Xia Liuyi said, gesturing for the remaining bowl of beef offal, "I don't want to eat it."
He Chusan came over and poured the beef offal into his bowl, stirred the soup, and began to breathe and eat.
After eating this long-lost sumptuous lunch, he went to the big water tank downstairs to scoop up half a spoon of water, and carefully scrubbed the tableware. Then back to the second floor, Xia Liuyi was still dead.
He Chusan couldn't hold back and asked him, "Are you being hunted down? What happened to you?"
Xia Liu didn't look at him at first glance, and only replied with a concise sentence: "It's none of your business."
Or the stinky virtue of the underworld! He Chusan obediently closed his ass, put away his schoolbag, and went out to class wearing a mask.
Xia Liuyi lay faceless at He Chusan's house for another three days, except for "cow offal", "fish balls", "intestine noodles", "chicken feet", "crab yellow buns" and "Fuck your mother! Tobacco" !" Other than that, he didn't say anything.
On the third night, Dentist He closed the door, went upstairs to change the dressing, and expressed great resentment and condemnation for the food bags, bamboo sticks, and various food wreckage accumulated in the room, "Eating only beef offal these days?! What is this, curry fish balls? It’s spicy?! It’s unreasonable, unreasonable! Have you had the medicinal soup you made yesterday?”
He Chusan looked honest, "No, he was too bitter and made me fall."
Dentist He, who was in the heart of the doctor's parents, was furious and stabbed He Chusan in the forehead in front of Xia Liuyi, cursing, "When you patronize Wen Shu, what does he say? Is it? You picked it up, and if it died like this, where would you throw it? Would you leave it at home and wait for it to stink?"
Xia Liuyi lay there dozing off, cursed in annoyance, raised his hand to cover his ears with difficulty. As a result, dentist He rushed up and pinched his chin!
His eyes widened, Dentist He skillfully snapped his fingers and opened his mouth! He poked his finger in and pulled out the underworld boss's tongue, pointed to He Chusan, "Look, see? The tongue coating is too thick, white and yellowish, anger is strong, qi and blood are deficient, nourishment Not enough. And this tooth, tsk tsk tsk! What a dirty look! It's all tartar!"
He Chusan immediately reported, "He hasn't rinsed his mouth these days."
Dentist He folded his hands, and opened Xia Liuyi's mouth full of fangs, "How many days?! How many days is this! Usually, you must eat something and sleep without brushing your teeth! Look at these few posterior molars, they are almost gone. It's wormed to the roots! Tsk tsk tsk!"
As he shook his head with emotion, he moved the worn pocket behind his butt to the front, "Hold him down for me, this tooth is really unbearable, wait for me to get him."
"Mmmmm..." Xia Liuyi tried her best to resist, but her tongue was pinched at her vital point, and she couldn't pull it back.
He was furious, and just wanted to stand up and jump up and down, the little Indian Asan jumped up neatly, and following his father's instructions, he wrapped Xia Liuyi into a baguette with a quilt! Flip the whole thing over! Ass sits on his waist!
"Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
An hour later, Dentist He went downstairs with a few black cavities in his hand. Xia Liuyi was lying on the bed with a mouthful of inferior cotton, and his neck was full of saliva from his own drool. He couldn't believe that he was being bullied like this!
He thumped the bedboard angrily. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw He Chusan who turned his back to him and pretended to be Wenshu, hunched over, his shoulders shaking desperately.
Just as Xia Liuyi was about to open his mouth to curse, a large pool of saliva dripped out again.
Shit, just laugh! Xia Liuyi thought bitterly while digging at the sheets. Street Fighter! Pretend to be a fool, secretly complain, and wait to see Lao Tzu's joke! When I can move, I will play with what you have!
He Chusan burst into tears, wiped it secretly, stood up seriously, "I'm going to make soup. Dad said that from now on you can only eat soup and porridge."
Xia Liuyi slapped the bed board again angrily. Tigers fall in Pingyang to eat dog food!
He was rehabilitated by the He family's father and son, and it seemed that he was finally ignited by anger. However, he was seriously injured, let alone a knife, he couldn't even lift his chopsticks, his mouth was stuffed with cotton, and his new teeth were stuck inside like a cactus. . The men and horses of Xiaoqitang searched for him every day in the alleys of Jiaolong Fortress, and sometimes they could hear the faint shouts of thugs outside the window. He Chusan body - kills this Indian Ah 3,000 times with an eye knife every day.
He Chu turned three hundred into steel, and his mind became stronger and stronger, completely ignoring his eyes that could frighten ordinary people to pee their pants. Not only that, when he took care of Xia Liuyi to live together and changed his dressings every day, he actually learned to call Xia Liuyi.
"Brother Liuyi, raise your hand."
"Brother Liuyi, come and turn over."
"Brother Liuyi, spread your legs apart, so you can't wipe the buttocks. Do you want to wipe the front?"
"Brother Liuyi, get up and pee. I'm going out to class now. If I don't, I'll have to wait until evening."
"..." Xia Liuyi.
Xia Liu scratched the bed every day, and the sheets were full of holes.
…
The people living on this small street are basically good people who rely on craftsmanship to eat. There are only a few unlicensed clinics and some snack shops and raw meat shops on both sides of the alley. The curtains were dark and no light was seen, and the room was pitch black.
Xia Liuyi struggled to the side on the iron bed, sat up with his elbows on the bed, stretched his legs with difficulty, and kicked He Chusan who was sleeping on the floor.
He Chusan sat up in a daze, "Brother Liuyi?"
"Is there a platform on the roof?" Xia Liu asked. The cotton in his mouth has been removed, except that he is not used to talking, but it has basically returned to normal.
He Chusan supported Xia Liuyi, and the two sneaked out, rubbing against the greasy wall of the narrow corridor, and moved up the roof one step at a time. There is no sun these days, and on the narrow and cramped roof, there is only a broken sheet floating alone.
"There is an iron drill here, be careful with your feet," He Chusan reminded, helping Xia Liuyi over the sheets and sitting down on the edge of the roof.
This small Tang building has only four or five floors and is surrounded by several high-rise buildings. It is basically the vision of a frog at the bottom of the well. From the gap between the buildings, you can barely see the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui district in the distance, and when you look up, you can see the bright moon and the stars.
Xia Liuyi sat against the slate guardrail and subconsciously touched his trousers pocket, only to remember that he had not smoked for two weeks.
Even if he was stared at by him, this puppet wouldn't help him buy cigarettes, and he even plausibly said, "My father and I have never smoked, which will lead to suspicion."
He leaned his head against the guardrail and took a deep breath, and was about to let it out, when he heard a "wipe" beside him.
He Chusan lit a candle, put his small schoolbag on the ground, and sat cross-legged and turned over the book.
"..." Xia Liuyi.
"Hey, I'll ask you to come and sit with me for a while." He couldn't help but burst into blue veins.
"Brother Liuyi, sit down, I won't disturb you." He Chusan said respectfully. He has a final exam tomorrow, and he should race against time to review.
"..." Xia Liuyi really wanted to shake his head. Fucking little fox, nerd!
Heaven has eyes, after all, he favored Mr. Xia once. After a while, the candle was blown out by the wind. He Chusan took out the match and lit it again, and it went out again after a while. When he touched it again, there was no more match.
Xia Liuyi looked at him with the corners of his mouth up, but He Chusan had no choice but to put away his schoolbag and sit beside Xia Liuyi.
"Are you being hunted? What did you do?" He brought up the topic two weeks ago.
This time Xia Liuyi didn't hit him with his fart. He tilted his head and was silent for a while, "My sister and the boss were killed."
He is so calm. In front of the bodies of Xia Xiaoman and Qinglong, he did not shed any tears. In the two days when he was being chased and killed like a rat crossing the street, he had no time to care. Then he lay in a cold and cramped hut without saying a word, and spent two full weeks accepting this reality.
He Chusan was shocked, "Your sister died?"
"Um."
He Chusan stayed for a while, "She is a good person."
"I know." Xia Liuyi looked up at the sky and said.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I used to live in Knee Lane, not far from here."
He Chusan said "Huh?"
"Huh. I'm only three years older than you. We might have met when we were kids."
"You robbed me?" He Chusan said, seriously and diligently recalling when he was teased and beaten as a child, was there such a wicked star present.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Liuyi said, "I didn't like to steal money when I was a child, and every day I thought about how to eat. My dad is a fan. He sucks fans, gambles, and drinks heavily. ran off with someone."
"Xiaoman is three years older than me, other people's children are still learning to talk, she has learned to cook batter to feed me, and go out to sunbathe on her back. Dad beats us every day and wants us to steal things for him. If you can't steal it, you will die. I was beaten, Xiaoman protected me every time, and was beaten to the point that I couldn't even get out of bed."
Xia Liuyi wearily rubbed his forehead with his arm. He hadn't recalled those days for too long, "When I was ten years old, Dad wanted to sell Xiaoman as a 'chicken'. He caught up, and was almost killed by him in a small alley. Everyone passing by watched, and no one came to save us."
"Then Qinglong came."
"He brought a group of younger brothers and was very majestic. He glanced at my father, and my father knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him. He picked me up and let Xiaoman lead him. That was the first time we were caught people protect."
"That day was June 1st. He said that in the mainland it was Children's Day, which was a festival for Xiaoman and I, so he wanted to invite us to eat cake. I ate cake for the first time in my life. I think that day was my life. On my first birthday, I changed my name to Xia Liuyi and called him Da. I told him that I would follow him all my life, and I would have cakes with him."
In the dim sky, He Chusan saw the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"He let Xiaoman and I live in his house, with a housekeeper to take care of us, and to study. Neither of us liked to read, and dropped out of school soon after. Xiaoman loved to sing, so he sent her to study music. I like to play with knives Stick, he asked a master to teach me. When I was fourteen years old, I felt that I had grown up, so I begged him to accept me, go to the incense and worship the church, and recognize him as a boss."
"In the first few years, he didn't let me go out to do things. He said that I was still young, and it was fine to be by his side. When I was eighteen years old, he was ambushed and only took a few people and was trapped in a dead end."
Xia Liuyi smiled and said, "I was like crazy, I rushed in with two machetes to save him. I can't remember how many people I cut down. I rescued him, but he beat me once. A slap. The first time he hit me . . . once in my life."
"I was sent to the hospital, Xiaoman hugged me and cried. I didn't tell her, there were tears in her eyes after Qinglong beat me."
"His tears frightened me and made me so happy. Besides Xiaoman, there is someone else in this world who cares about me."
He Chusan clasped his arms secretly. The night wind was bleak, and a smart, keen and meticulous person like him had already heard a hint of coolness from these words.
The affection between Qinglong and Xia Liuyi has gone far beyond the boundaries between the big brother and the younger brother. It was only when he got here that he understood why Xia Liuyi would take a stool and slash him after hearing the second version of the script he had written at that time—this seemingly ruthless underworld was trying to hide the panic and shaking in his heart. , because that unconscionable relationship that he had buried deep in his heart was unintentionally exposed by a bystander.
"Xiaoman is getting more and more beautiful as she grows, and many big bosses like her. Qinglong wants to match her, but she doesn't want one. One night, she secretly told me that she likes Qinglong, and she wants to be Qinglong's woman."
"I'll give her anything she wants. It's my twentieth birthday soon, and Qinglong asked me what I wanted. I said, I want Xiaoman to be my sister-in-law."
He stopped and paused for a long time before continuing to whisper, "Qinglong looked at me for a long time and told me, whatever you want, Da will give it to you."
He didn't say anything after that—
Anything you want, Ada will give you... Except this.
I just want this.
Do you know what you're talking about
She is my sister! She likes you!
how about you
I... I'm your horse boy, your disciple. I recognize you as a boss, and I will be with you for the rest of my life.
"He married Xiaoman."
"He also gave me a pair of Qinglong swords and took me to meet the elders in the gang, and told them that this is the most proud student and the youngest 'red stick' under his command. My business will gradually be handed over to me to take care of.”
"From now on, I am Ma Zai, he is the boss, and Xiao Man is the elder sister-in-law. I thought this was a lifetime... "
"Early last year, Xiaoman suffered from depression."
"She said that Qinglong didn't love her. Although she was nice to her, even better than when she was a child, she didn't love her at all. She suspected that Qinglong had someone else outside. She asked me if I had any, I said no, and she said I lied to her. "
"I begged Qinglong to treat Xiaoman better, and he agreed. I begged him to love Xiaoman, but he said he couldn't."
As long as Ada can do it, he never promises you.
- Only this can't be done.
"Xiaoman quarreled with him..."
He closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away unbearably.
His head hurt like it was about to split, and a huge black wave stirred up in his mind, as if he was there, imagining the situation when the two were arguing—
You have someone out there! who's that person? Who is it? ! Who are you hiding in your heart? !
What nonsense are you talking about? Stop thinking about it!
Hehe, hehe... You can't say it? Do you think I don't know? I'm so stupid, I didn't realize until today... You pervert! Shameless! What you like is simply—
Snapped!
"He slapped Xiaoman, Xiaoman stabbed him, and then jumped off the roof..."
"He was taken to the hospital, and I chose to see Xiaoman. When I arrived at the hospital, he had already been killed with my knife."
"Using the blue... dragon he gave me..."
Xia Liu suddenly let out a hoarse whimper. He Chusan, who was concentrating on listening to the story, raised his head in surprise and saw that he held his knees tightly with his head down, his shoulders shaking slightly.
He Chusan hesitated for a moment, then carefully placed his hand on the back of his hand, trying to stop him from self-harm. He looked like he was about to crush his kneecap.
Xia Liuyi shivered for a while, then slowly raised his head, tears strewn all over his face.
He gently swept away He Chusan's hand and continued with a blank face, "That person is the deputy head of the gang, he changed Xiaoman's depression medicine, which made Xiaoman's condition worse, killed Xiaoman, and then killed him. Qinglong, frame me and lead someone to hunt me down. Those people who searched the alley during the day are all his subordinates."
"What are you going to do now?" He Chusan asked softly.
Xia Liuyi looked at the upright, sharp iron drill on the ground in the distance, "Kill him and avenge Qinglong and Xiaoman."
This bloody answer did not arouse any disgust in He Chusan's heart. He was still immersed in the sudden grief of this seemingly cold-blooded underworld boss. He looked at Xia Liuyi's cold face with a complicated expression, and said softly. He asked, "And then what?"
Xia Liuyi closed his eyes, then opened them again, "Take care of the brothers who are left behind by Qinglong, and grow Xiaoqitang into the largest gang in Hong Kong."
When Qinglong was alive, he was sorry for him. Qinglong is gone, this is the only thing he can do for him.
"… "
He Chusan was speechless and sighed in the bottom of his heart - the underworld is always underworld, and his mind is full of fighting and killing, and after one killing, another even bigger killing. The expansion of power, the fight between gangs, and the chaos, in the end, it is not the innocent civilians who suffer.
He grew up in this filthy and dark slum since he was a child, and he was used to seeing the hot and cold world.
Xia Liuyi stopped talking and wiped his face blankly, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't complain to you. I just wanted to find something to talk to. There's not even a cat here."
He Chusan immediately shook his head to clarify, "I didn't misunderstand."
After the last misunderstanding, he has been severely criticized, and he has never played his own way since then.
"I'm just curious," he hesitated, and said, "Why can't you confess to Qinglong that you like him too? Why do you force him to marry your sister? Why does he agree to you? The melon is not sweet, you don't know. ?"
If they were willing to face this relationship under the pressure of the world, perhaps the vice hall master wouldn't find the opportunity to take advantage of it and create such a tragedy.
He was so bold and straightforward, but Xia Liuyi didn't turn around and beat him like last time, but just kept quiet for a while, raised his hand indifferently, and scratched He Chusan's head like a dog, "Boy, you I don't understand. There's too much going on here."
He Chusan lowered his eyes and let him be ravaged, still very confused in his heart. His 21-year love life was as pure as paper, and he didn't know what it meant to be involuntary. I just felt that Xia Liuyi, who said this, showed deep helplessness and loneliness in his tone.
"I'll sleep for a while," Xia Liuyi stretched his legs and feet tiredly and put his arms behind his head, "It takes too much effort to talk too much."
He Chusan immediately reminded, "If you sleep here, you will catch a cold."
"Shut up, boy! Go to sleep!"
