Chapter 3 Chapter two

I spent more than a month in Tianzhong’s dormitory for young workers. My third child and his second brother brought me food and water in the cafeteria every day. It's quite casual, Sancha Wubaojie, Laosan and Shiliu will come to see me every now and then, and I've been following the developments of Erhei, Sanlong and Manzi.My injury is getting better day by day. The third brother and his second brother can take me to the health center of their factory to change my dressings, but the stitches are removed in Hebei Hospital.As my injury gradually recovered, a plan to revenge Erhei gradually formed in my mind.I didn't discuss it with any of them or disclose it. As I said before, I don't want to ask for help when I encounter any problems.Baojie also asked me a few times, but I always prevaricated by saying that I haven't figured it out yet.The framework of the plan to revenge Erhei has been formed, but the details still need to be perfected, and everything can only be implemented step by step after my injury recovers!I thought to myself: Erhei, aren’t you the No. 1 person at the gate of No. 9 Middle School? You can mess with anyone, but you messed with me. Your days as a top-notch site are over. What, he is an old man after all, in terms of stuff, in terms of morality, in terms of strength, and in terms of prestige, you are far behind, so you can't hold your head up if you let the barbarian fall, wait for me to go back, I am an unknown junior The child is going to shoot you down, let's see how you stay in the city in the future, one time is enough, just put you in the mud, and if you want to look up again, you have to see if I look good or not!

After more than a month of healing, there was an unexpected acquaintance, Xiao Xie who lived in the same dormitory as the third child and his second brother.Xiao Xie is from Changli. He joined Tianzhong instead of his father. He is in charge of maintenance and maintenance in the factory.Over the past month or so, he has also gotten to know me well, and the relationship is very strong.He is a few years older than me, speaks Changli dialect with twists and turns, and is very honest and honest. When I was about to leave Tianzhong, I discussed with him and asked him to make me a musket, but it is not easy to make a musket. Well, the barrel must be made of seamless steel pipe. At that time, seamless steel pipe was a rare item, and it was not easy to find, so I left this matter aside for the time being.Xiao Xie said: "I will try my best to find it for you, and I will make it for you when I have seamless steel pipes." Labor insurance cotton jacket, covered his arms and entered the house, and said to me with a smirk, "Guess what I got for you?" I said, "What? You can also give the anti-aircraft machine gun of the militia company to me." Did I get it?" Xiao Xie said: "Go! I don't have that skill, look what it is!" After speaking, he opened his arms and took out a dagger that had just been forged. It has not been polished or polished, but the shape is really good. It has a ruler length, double-sided blades, two blood grooves, and the work is beautiful!I quickly closed the door, looked at the knife carefully, and liked it from the bottom of my heart.Xiao Xie said: "I still have to take it away. You should check the length, width, and shape first. If it is suitable, I will polish and finish it for you immediately, and then install the handle for you. In addition, I will tell you At the end of the day, I don't care about cutting the blade, I want to drive the blade myself, you must remember, you can't confess me if you use it for any serious incident, I did it for you at the risk of the boss." I Said: "As soon as I leave this factory, I don't know you at all. Don't worry, just fix it for me." With a satisfied smile on his face, Xiao Xie went to the workshop to install the knife handle for me.

After more than a month of recuperation, my injuries are all healed, and my spirit is back. This is called "replenishment and storage, so as to fight again".My heart is full of grass, and I have already contacted Baojie and the others. They all know that I will go back to the city today, and they will come to pick me up later.Before six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Xie, the third child and his second brother returned to the dormitory with dinner.As soon as I entered the door, Xiao Xie winked at me.I understood it in my heart, and didn't mention the knife.Xiao Xie didn't want my second brother to know that he made me a knife, and I understood.The second brother took out a bottle of Bengbu Baijiu from his pants pocket, and put some dishes bought from the cafeteria on the table. The three of us are about to start drinking. I just took a sip of wine, and I was about to give a speech. Thank you very much, brother. The two have taken care of me for more than a month.Suddenly the gate opened, and Hulala broke into a sentry from outside the gate. I was shocked when I saw it!

Who do you know?It turned out to be Tianzhong's security department cadres and a group of five people.That afternoon, when Xiao Xie was making knives for me, a young worker found out, and the small report was sent to the workshop office.The workshop director didn't dare to take care of this matter, so he reported it to the security department, so these few people came here to investigate Xiaoxie.The leader was tall and slender, wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit and a military overcoat, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, with a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw a stranger in the room, he asked me: "Who are you, who are you?" From the workshop?" Before I could answer, the third brother and the second brother took over the conversation and said, "This is my brother, he brought me something." The head of the security department saw that I was still a child, so he stopped After questioning, his attention was all on Xiao Xie, and he turned around and asked Xiao Xie, "What did you do that shouldn't be done in the workshop today?" Xiao Xie said, "Why didn't you do anything, what's the matter?" Said: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. If you don't tell me here, then tell me to the security department, and I will remind you, right? Someone has reported you a long time ago, and now you speak out on your own initiative , It’s not a big deal, we’re here just for formality, and I have to take care of it if someone reports it, otherwise I can’t explain it!” I knew in my heart that this was my trouble for Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie Honest kids might not be able to withstand their bluffing and intimidation, so I figured out something else to divert the attention of the security department, so that Xiao Xie would have a chance to dispose of the dagger in his hand.Thinking of this, I pretended to be drunk and wanted to fight them.At this time, the second brother said: "Who said it, did they all say it? These shits are always bullying Xiao Xie. Seeing that Xiao Xie is from other places, they always play with others if they have nothing to do. Who said that, you find this person, and we confront him face to face! Don’t your mother just catch a toad and make urine out of it!” The cadre said: “Someone reported that he made a dagger in the workshop. It's a big deal, can we just ignore it? Xiao Xie, we don't need to bother, you hand over the dagger, I take it away, let's pretend nothing happened, and I can have an explanation when I go back, if you If you don't hand it over, I won't be able to save face for you, so you can figure it out yourself!"

Let's leave it here first, I have to talk about the second brother of the third child first, the second brother is also a famous and registered figure in their factory, and it is difficult to shave his head if he is also registered in the security department. Regarding this matter, the face is drooping down, these security departments are somewhat vague, and they have to buy the second brother's account, because the second master was once a famous figure, but now he has seen through it I don’t want to get involved anymore, but he is also well-known in Tianzhong, everyone respects him, and no one dares to challenge him, but at the same time, the second brother has experienced many things, and his experience is also limited. Fu Fu, knowing that this group of people had to go down the steps at this time, turned around and took out a small knife from under the bed, and shouted reluctantly: "Isn't it just this knife? It's not about Xiaoxie, is it? I asked him to call, you go to each dormitory to ask, which dormitory does not have these guys who eat, isn’t this just for cutting a ham and a carrot in the dormitory?” I said to myself: Second brother, you are too witty, A dagger that cut open the abdomen, it turned into a kitchen knife for cooking and peeling radishes when it came to you, second brother.The joy in my heart is really worthy of being an old joker, if I want to have it!

The second brother's big move of "civet cat for prince" has become beautiful!Not only relieved Xiao Xie, but also let the people from the security department go down the steps, and he still insisted on doing the fake show: "Oh, you don't dare to take care of other dormitories, so you just try to be clever in our dormitory, isn't it? Are you honest about bullying us? Look at the faces of all of you who have committed class struggle, as if you have committed a big crime. If you don’t tell me the truth today, I will find the factory department tomorrow. I have to ask, is it illegal to beat up a kitchen knife with scraps from the factory in the dormitory?" At this time, I also followed the fake show and hugged my second brother, crying: "Second brother! Don't do this, My mother asked me to give you a message when I came out, not to let you lose your temper and fight with others in the factory. If you want to do this again, I will go back and tell my mother and let my father go home and fix you. Uncles, you go away Come on, my second brother is a mess, even my elder brother dare not mess with him!" The few people in the factory saw that I was about to cry when I saw this little guy, so they didn't have the aggressive look they had when they first came.The leader said: "What do you mean? Your workshop came to me and called me to say that Xiao Xie had hit me with a knife. I thought it was some kind of murder weapon. Why did it come out earlier? Thank you It's true, a kitchen knife, do you think you are sneaky? Let's do it openly, isn't it a shame? That second child, do you need it so urgently? We are Those who eat this bowl of rice, if someone reports that we don’t care, isn’t that just occupying the latrine and not shitting? Don’t you rush forward whenever you have something to do in the future, change your temper, let’s say what we said Oh, I have to confiscate this knife, and I have to do business when I go back, don’t you? You can continue to eat. Oh, is this still drunk? Don’t mess around after drinking, you can’t spend the night in the factory, you little one, Let's go home immediately after eating and drinking, that's it, let's go first." After speaking, he turned around and took a large group of them downstairs.

As soon as this group of people left, the three of us calmed down, sat at the table again, took a side of the wine, and drank a glass.The second elder brother stared at Xiao Xie intently, and didn't speak, his eyes were particularly gloomy.I didn't dare to speak at that time, Xiao Xie made the second brother stare so hard that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't dare to pick up vegetables to eat, so he lowered his head and asked the second brother, "What's the matter?" The second brother lit a cigarette, sucked hard and said: "Xiao Xie, my brother and his friend are recuperating here. You know how he was injured. When he leaves our place, he must go to make up for his enemy. Don't tell me what you did for him. , I haven’t heard of it or seen it, but you can think about it yourself, they are all small, high-minded, and they all want to make a name for themselves outside. It doesn't matter how deep or shallow it is, and it's possible to make a big mess. Let's send the group of people in the factory like this. After this matter is over, he will leave in a while. When he leaves the factory, he will have nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter to me, I have done everything I should do, what you should do and what you should not do, you can decide for yourself!" When Xiao Xie saw that the second brother said these words in a serious manner, he was about to come from behind. Get out that knife.The second brother immediately pressed his hand: "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, let's have a drink!" After taking a sip of wine, the second brother turned around and stared at me again. Xiao Xie bowed his head like that, I turned my face away, I didn't look at him, the second brother spit a cigarette into my face, and he said: "You little boy, are you going to be a Taoist? I've been in contact with you for a few months, and I think you're really serious. You don't yell, make trouble, or frown at you for being hurt so badly. You have some backbone, but as the third brother, I'm your brother. I have to give you a few words at the bottom, the longer you hang around outside, the more experience you will have, you have just suffered such a small loss, you have to think about it, in the future you will have to suffer a big loss, there is such a sentence you Have you ever heard of it—playing around, going to labor camp sooner or later, Dawa is waving to you, and Banqiao is smiling at you!" I know what the second brother meant, Dawa refers to Tuanbowa Farm, and Banqiao refers to Banqiao Farm , both of which are reform-through-labor farms.The second brother went on to say: "What are you playing around with? It's popularity, momentum, and foundation. You have to practice in the bloody wind. After you have a lot of things in the future, you will learn little by little." I have that kind of temperament." At this moment, I thought of the barbarian on Xiguan Street, isn't the second brother talking about the barbarian's temperament, the temperament of a bird entering the forest and a hundred birds suppressing their voices!The second brother said again: "Look at what you mean now. Even if you have a machine gun, you can't stop others. Do you believe it? You are holding a machine gun and people tell you where you came from. This little boy scares people all over the street with a toy gun." Are you human, this machine gun is like a fire stick in your hand.” When I heard this, I thought of Erhei again, it wasn’t that I wanted to be cheap, but I still don’t understand why he didn’t dare to stab me with a military stab.The second brother went on to say: "Temperament is very important to a master who wants to stand outside, but it is also accumulated over the years, not pretended. From now on, you have to cultivate yourself, don't be a You foolish master, you have to get a bottle of blood in return for a drop of blood, it’s a long story to talk about, I won’t say much today, remember what I said, and go slowly in the future.”

What do we have to say, what the second brother said has benefited me a lot in the future, and it can be regarded as an enlightenment to me! Next, my second brother, Xiao Xie, and I exchanged cups and drank the break-up wine in the Tianzhong Qinggong dormitory. Due to the disturbance of the security department, we hadn’t drunk much of the wine just after it was served. Baojie led a few Brother is here.Besides Baojie, Shiliu, Liangzi, Guodong, and Xiaoyizi, there are five people in total. They came to pick me up today.As soon as he entered the door, Baojie yelled with his flaws that he would never get rid of: "As soon as I entered the corridor, I could smell the smell of alcohol. I guessed it was your house, don't drink, don't drink." , Li Bin and the third child are waiting for us at Sihaiju, hurry up and pack up and go, go drink there!" The second brother rolled his eyes at Baojie and said: "Be safe first, don't go anywhere like you are beating wolves , and Baojie, can you correct your bluffing problem? Wherever you are, there is no excitement!" Baojie made the second brother feel embarrassed, and he said: "I'm not in a hurry, your third child asked me Hurry up and pick him up, our little brother will get together and welcome him, or you can go with the second brother." Baojie smiled flatteringly, and the second brother replied: "I don't I’m gone, you’re all little ones, I can’t chat with you, I don’t want to join in the fun!” The second elder brother looked back at me and said, “I see that you’ve almost finished packing, and grass has grown in your heart. Come on, you can remember what I said, go back and stabilize, and if you want to go out, you can see what birds are in the woods first!" I bowed my head and said, "Second brother, look at it, I will remember it." Turning back to Xiao Xie again, he said, "Xiao Xie! You send them off for me." The kind and generous Xiao Xie bent down and picked up the things I piled on the ground and walked downstairs.I hurriedly bid farewell to my second brother, and the second brother finally told me: "In the future, you will hang out with Li Bin and the others. If you have anything to do, you should discuss it with the third brother. He has more eyes than you, and his brain turns quickly. Please let him give you some advice." I said, "Okay! Second brother, I have memorized it, so don't worry about it. Do you have anything to say to me?" Second brother said, "Let's go , remember not to stretch the wound, and take medicine when it is time to take it.”

Saying goodbye to the second brother, our group went downstairs. I bought a tulip and a Xingang cigarette at the canteen downstairs, and handed them back to Xiao Xie. Then he took me aside, took out the knife from his back waist and handed it to me.I saw that this guy was so clever. One afternoon, he asked the cafeteria for a jujube rolling pin, which was trimmed and polished, and the handle was inlaid. He also got a piece of iron from somewhere and welded it. A scabbard, this work is done with great skill and perfect fit.Maybe the second brother's words still had a certain effect on Xiao Xie, an honest boy. I clearly saw a trace of concern in his eyes when he handed me the knife.I smiled at him and said, "Xiao Xie! It's rare for you to take care of me for more than a month. I will keep this knife at home as a reminder. Don't worry, I will never sharpen it. You are not a knife. You It's a handicraft, it's so beautiful, what, I left you a military padded jacket and a military jacket in your locker, we are about the same size, you can definitely wear them, both are new and unwrapped, Leave it to you to rest from work, find a partner, or go back to your hometown to wear. You can contact me anytime you have anything to do in the future. My second brother has my address and contact number. I will come and play with you when I have nothing to do. Go back quickly." I absolutely did what I said. The knife that Xiaoxie gave me is still in my hand, and it is placed where I can get it at any time. After more than 30 years, this knife is still as beautiful as new. The current Tibetan knife Yingjisha knife is inferior, and I have always kept my promise to Xiao Xie. The knife has never tasted blood in my hands, but it has been silently with me for more than 30 years, and occasionally it is fine. When the time comes, I will take it out and have a look, and let the cold light of this knife bring me back to my youthful years.

Besides, Baojie drove a second uncle’s second son, which is called “a dog rides a rabbit” in Tianjin dialect, and Liangzi drove a 212 jeep, borrowing a classic line from “Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom”: Pull the tiger , lead the horse!A group of six people marched towards the city, and arrived at the second floor of Sihaiju Restaurant in the southwest corner before eight o'clock.From afar, Li Bin looked like a boss, wearing a Duqiu windbreaker that was very fashionable at the time, and under a general school hat, his shoulder-length hair was curled with oil stains, and there was a little scalp on the collar of his military coat. Crumb, looking at me with a smirk on his face with a cigarette in his mouth.The third child sat at the bottom of his head, and when he saw us coming upstairs, he greeted us from a long distance: "How is it? You are not disabled, are you?" I said, "Third brother, would you please read a few words to me?" , I was crushed into the mud by someone, you are still snarky, don’t you hate me for not dying?” Everyone chatted and sat down, the cold dishes had already been served, and the youngest went to the waiter to order hot dishes.Li Bin invited me to sit next to him, brought me a cigarette and asked me to light it first, he said: "Take care of yourself first, let's talk while drinking!" He said slowly: "Today we are here to welcome Mo Dou, although we didn't have much contact with him before, and he didn't hang out with us, but after all, he was in the same school as us since we were young, and we were in the same school. Lives in front of a house, half a child, I never looked at him before to tell you the truth, I didn't expect that this time he and Erhei, he really didn't lose his place in Ximenli Just for this point, our brothers have to drink with you, you are still injured, drink as much as you can, no other meaning, just get together, Baojie, you have to take good care and accompany Mo Dou!" Baojie said: "No problem, how many years have we been, I know what he means very well, come on, let's raise a glass and go!" With Li Bin's explanation, he immediately rejuvenated, jumping forward and back busy pouring wine and serving dishes. For a while, the banquet was full of excitement and exchanged glasses.

After all, they are a bunch of kids, the oldest of which is Li Bin, who is only under twenty years old, and the rest are seventeen or eighteen years old. This age really can't stop drinking. , hooking shoulders and backs in high spirits, shouting one brother at a time, that is called intimacy, seven unambiguously, eight indifferently bragging, the boss is the second child, a bunch of hot-blooded little playboys That's it, punching orders, pushing cups and changing cups, and feasting.During this period, only one person remained awake all the time - the third child!He definitely wouldn't let Li Bin drink too much. He was afraid that these little guys would cause a drunken mess, and the most fundamental thing was to let Li Bin pay the bill.Among these people, Li Bin is a local tyrant. In addition to having no father at home, his mother and three older sisters all give him money, and he also earns a lot by riding three rounds.For two or three hours, we were full of food and drink, and we supported each other with the few pieces of material. You hugged me and I swayed you downstairs.At that time, I hadn’t decided where to go. I didn’t want to go back home. I didn’t know what was going on for so long. I just heard Baojie revisit me the next day and said that my father had found a school and applied for me. Take a semester off.Because my father was the director of the Political and Education Department of Dongmenli No. 2 Middle School at the time, and he was very familiar with the principal and directors of our school, so the school gave me a little extra.As we said before, Li Bin has a bungalow of about 20 square meters in the Ge family compound, which is also the stronghold of their group, so I want to go back to the Ge family compound.Along the way, Liangzi’s jeep drove to and fro, because there was no one on the road after ninety o’clock at that time, and there was no investigation for drunk driving at that time. The traffic police were on duty in the watchtower during the day, using an electric horn to shout : "Stop north and south, go straight east and west!" When I got back to Li Bin's hut, I was already drunk, but fortunately I could still go home, so I decided to stay here for a night alone.Pomegranate lit the stove and made a pot of boiling water for me, and she still didn't forget to let me take medicine.Little Pomegranate takes care of people very carefully. He has been running behind me since he was a child, and he is exactly like my little boy.I washed it anyway and went to bed. The next morning, they were supposed to go to work, and they were supposed to go to school. I was left alone under the covers, and went over the past month.My immature mind began to think about the way out in the future, and I finally got a general idea in the morning, that is, the train of thought in this morning decided that I would resolutely join Li Bin and his gang after taking revenge on Er Hei! In my current words, I will describe what I thought in Li Bin's hut that day. I thought so at the time: Although Li Bin and I went to the same elementary school since we were young, since we are not in the same class, speaking of it, At most, they all lived in Ximen. At that time, I belonged to the master who I didn’t mess with anyone, but whoever messed with me must not be ambiguous. I also have two friends around me, but they are both honest children, and they don’t want to meddle in things. For example, Dawei, who wants to diaper his pants whenever he has something to do, only pomegranate can go with him in a fight, which can't make a difference, so he has been wandering on the edge of Li Bin and the others. The reason why this time Li Bin was able to set a table for me to welcome the wind, because he wanted to accept me into the group.I really heard what he said at the wine table, and there is definitely something in his words.Among us, Li Bin is not inferior to the third child in terms of brains. What he said was so ambiguous. He not only expressed his thoughts, but also had room for maneuver, because he didn't know what I was thinking at the time. Yes, if I rejected him directly, then the atmosphere at that time must have been very embarrassing.And the matter between me and Erhei is not over yet, I can't join the group with my back on my back, it will make them think that I am looking for a backer, which is against my will.I have to handle Erhei's affairs by myself, and it must be done beautifully. Once I make a move, I have to make him Cicishi planted in the south gate so that he can't show up again. If I mix with Li Bin and the others now, then I must let the school and the people at the gate think that I am also playing tricks, then I will not be able to achieve the effect that I will fall into the second black. I just have to let others see that I am an honest boy, but I still refuse to accept your second black. You asked me, an honest boy, to do it, and you said how would you stay at the school gate in the future. For me, Baojie actually wanted to be a referrer for me and Li Bin. I have always had a good relationship with him, which is why I immediately thought of him when Erhei and I had an accident. Jie always has a sense of distance. I can't understand him pretending to be a fool every day. I'm afraid that others will not know that he is hanging around outside. You can say that he is brave and foolish. , usually looks like Meng Zhang Fei, and you can't count on him if you compete hard. This will be clearly shown in the next few things, and that's another story.At that time, Li Bin's gang structure was led by Li Bin, the youngest was a conspiracy, Baojie ran errands, and Liangzi drove.As for Guodong and Xiaoyizi, they both have their own little gang, and they both have their own little brothers. They get together with Li Bin, and they help each other when they have something to do.Therefore, it is obvious that Li Bin's small gang of five or six people is not strong enough. They are eager to expand their power, and looking for me is not only for my face, but also for the needs of the gang.And I was still in school at the time, and to tell the truth, we couldn't afford to mix with other people's wages.I still remember the words about the third child and his second brother, so I made up my mind, after I settle the Erhei matter, if there is no major incident, I will consider joining Li Bin and the others, even though I have a deep heart , has always been vaguely longing for their feeling of fighting together as a group and becoming famous. While I was lying on the bed and thinking hard, there was a "clinking" sound of glass bottles outside the door, followed by a screeching sound of brakes.The door of the room opened, and Li Bin pedaled his tricycle to pull a cart full of vinegar, and entered the room with a sour smell of vinegar.He sat by the bed and asked me, "Did you eat breakfast?" I said, "What time do you think it is? Why don't you eat breakfast?" The military cap was handed to me: "Is it suitable to wear? I found it for you. Your hair hasn't grown out yet, and the scars on your head are making people laugh. This cap is for you." General military caps were a rarity at that time. , How much money do you have, there is no place to buy it, unless it is a robbery. It was called "shooting a military cap" in those days, and wearing this kind of cap became a sign of fun.If you can’t play well, you can’t wear it, and if you can’t do it well, someone will take a picture of you as soon as you go out.Not to mention how many disasters were caused by this military cap in those days. It is not uncommon for a hat to exchange a life, but there are still many people who are eager for this kind of military cap. A military cap made of general school Wearing one's head to prove one's status in the outside world, from the present point of view, it is like wearing a thick gold chain around the neck, holding a local tyrant's gold mobile phone, and tattooing a flower-like cow! I am clear in my heart, as long as I take this hat, it means that I will be Li Bin's people by default. At this time, there is a kind of inexplicable reluctance and denial in my heart. Maybe I am a fledgling and don't know what is going on outside. Or I was too confident that I could get rid of Erhei. Although it was blind confidence, maybe it was because of my personality. At that time, I really didn't want to take this hat from Li Bin, but because of face, I still took it .In the final analysis, it was the vanity of youth at work, imagining how majestic it would be in the city with the general's military cap on his head when he went out, so he accepted it with a smile, and everything in the future began from there!That's why I took a sheepshearing hat in the Nanxiang Hutong mentioned above after finishing the Erhei, and gave it to Li Bin as an audience gift. Because of this, I was blocked in Banqiao Hutong by the "old dumb" in Xitou, and was almost killed. He has a big muscle!
