Chapter 2 The second chapter starts work

There was no one in the house, but judging from the messiness, there should be quite a few people living in it.Da Jun pointed to a lower bunk and said, "Don't think it's dirty, you sleep here first, the squad leader and the others will come back later, we shouldn't stay here for too long." Chen Lin put down her burden and sat on the bed, looking around.But the two of Dajun didn't know where they went. When they came back, they carried a few bottles of beer and a roast goose. They sat down and ate and drank without much talk.When about half of the roast goose was eaten, five people came in one after another outside the house. One of them saw Chen Lin and shouted happily: "Linzi, you will be here so soon." The beard on his face was Chen Lin's squad leader at that time—Ma Changhe, an authentic Shandong man.Chen Lin will never forget the scene when she was ambushed by the Viet Cong when she went out to perform a mission. The squad leader fought the enemy close to hand and killed three Vietnamese soldiers with a dagger.It was later discovered that these three were all special soldiers of the Vietnamese army. Ma Changhe became famous in the first battle and was awarded third-class merit.

The two talked endlessly when they met, but the other four didn't seem to see him, they went to their own beds, smoked and read books, and went about their own business.As night fell, the army pulled Chen Lin and the monitor out of the shed.Chen Lin said: "Squad leader, what are we doing here?" The squad leader and Dajun looked at each other, they both smiled and said, "Linzi, are you having a hard time?" Chen Lin didn't know what the squad leader meant by asking this question, she was taken aback for a moment and said, "I'm used to it, it's good that people like us can live."

The squad leader nodded and said: "You're right, Linzi. At that time, we fought together and lived together. I didn't expect that we are together again. This is fate, what do you think?" Chen Lin said: "Is there anything else to say? I've always missed you, so I followed Da Jun when he said it." The squad leader said: "Okay, as long as you say it. Linzi, it's not that we don't believe you, but that it's not the time to have a showdown with you, but don't worry, our lives will be linked from now on. If you don't have a hard time , We are all having a hard time, Linzi, don't ask me about this matter, I will tell you when the time comes."

Although Chen Lin hadn't been to school for a few days, she was by no means a fool. From the monitor's tone, he vaguely knew that the money-making "business" that Da Jun said would never be a good thing.But it doesn't matter what he does, the key is who he does it with. It was midnight when they returned to the shed. Some people in the house were sleeping and some were still smoking. Chen Lin saw a face full of scars in the dim light. With no one to disturb her, even though the living conditions were very bad, Chen Lin still slept until noon.He was alone in the house again.Although his stomach was already whistling with hunger, there was no food here, but hunger has been an old friend of Chen Lin for many years.He waited until the evening when the group of people came back together, and they brought back all the food, and it was like this day after day.Although the living environment here is indeed very poor, the food these people bring back every day is all good things, such as roast goose and duck, all kinds of fancy snacks with braised vegetables, etc.Chen Lin felt that the food he had eaten since he was a child was probably not as high as the food expenses these days. To say that this kind of life is really a fairy-like life for him.But good times always pass quickly, and on the eighth day after Chen Lin came to Hong Kong, something happened.

That day after Chen Lin woke up and waited until evening, those people still hadn't come back.As night fell, when Chen Lin was confused about why they had gone, there was a sudden noise outside the house.He stretched his head and looked out of the house, only to see two people carrying one person into the room first, that person was covered in blood and his clothes were soaked in blood.Everyone carried him to the bed, and the Guangxi man tore off his clothes. Seeing his wound, Chen Lin gasped.This was a knife wound, the wound was very long, from the neck down to the left abdomen, fortunately it was not deep and not fatal for the time being, but depending on the extent of his bleeding, he would not survive if he was not treated in time.The Guangxi guy looked at the scarred human and said, "What should I do?"

Chen Lin couldn't see any abnormality on his face, but he waved his hand to make a gesture, and the Guangxi guy nodded and didn't speak any more.It turned out that he was a mute, but he was not deaf.When Chen Lin was guessing what his gesture meant, suddenly a person went crazy, picked up a boning knife on the table, and rushed out. , I want to avenge my brother." The squad leader said: "Brother, we will never take this loss in vain, but we must not be too reckless in revenge, or we will die." When they were talking, a tall and thin man with fair skin had already taken out a ball After slightly disinfecting the needle and thread, he began to sew up the man's wound.He was very skillful, and he sewed up the wound in a short time, and said to the person who wanted revenge: "Fourth brother, your brother's injury is not fatal, don't talk about revenge, that is not auspicious."

Seeing that the amount of bleeding from his elder brother's wound was indeed gradually decreasing after the wound was sutured, the fourth child felt relieved, stopped making trouble, and sat down on the bed slowly.Da Dao Scar walked up to him and lit a cigarette for him, and the room suddenly fell silent.No one slept that night, only the wounded groaned in pain.Early the next morning, Big Scar went out alone, and didn't come back until noon.After entering the room, he gestured to the monitor for a while, the monitor nodded repeatedly, and then the monitor said to Chen Lin: "Linzi, let's go out and talk." When he walked outside the room, the monitor said: "You probably guessed a little bit about what we are doing here, Linzi, no To tell you the truth, we opened a gambling stall here, and we also accept some things stolen by mainlanders. Unexpectedly, something happened yesterday. They dropped a box from a Hong Kong guy and brought it to us. After opening it, it was full of marijuana .Before we got rid of this group of people, the other party came. It is estimated that at least one of the mainlanders was hacked to death. You have seen ours, and one of them was seriously injured, and the other party told us to get out of here, otherwise we will kill them all. us."

Chen Lin said, "This matter has nothing to do with us." The squad leader nodded and said: "That's right, but you can't reason with the underworld, and we are all smugglers, so it's impossible for the police to protect us. Linzi, if we don't work hard, we will have no way out." Chen Lin said: "Squad leader, I will listen to you. As long as you say a word, I will dare to do anything." The squad leader patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and said: "My good brother, I really need you today. Da Dao Scar bought a batch of goods but needed a fresh face to bring them back. Linzi is up to you, but you have to wait Wan remember that there must be no trouble, and if there is an accident, we will kill people, and we have no way out." After speaking, he took out an old-fashioned revolver from his clothes and handed it to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin didn't say much, and the squad leader took her to the main road, only to see a white truck parked there.The squad leader pointed to the truck and stopped without speaking.Chen Lin walked straight, and there was only one driver in the cab. Chen Lin got into the passenger seat and the two left.After seven turns and eight bends, there are more and more shops on both sides of the road, and it is actually in the downtown area.The driver stopped the car by the side of the road and said in a very unfamiliar Mandarin, "Come with me." After the two got out of the car and walked to the car, the driver opened the car and dragged out a very large package to Chen Lin. Chen Lin felt that At least a hundred catties in weight.The driver took out a card and a banknote and handed it to Chen Lin and said, "Take a taxi and give the card to the driver, and he will take you back." After that, get in the car and drive away.

Chen Lin did as she was told, and it was around 2 pm when she returned to the shanty town.He put the burden on the ground with a rattle, and the big scar dragged the burden in front of him and said: "This is all our belongings, and it is also the capital of our future survival. I didn't want to be troublesome here, but someone wants to kill them all. I This person has nothing but a bad life. If you are willing to fight with me, we will be life and death brothers from today on. If someone does not want to take this risk, I will not force it. I can recommend someone to Da Jinya Go in the past." It turns out that he is not dumb, but his words are very vague, and if you don't listen carefully, you don't know what he is saying. Chen Lin saw that his tongue is only half.

Da Jun said: "Brother Scar, don't worry too much. Since we can come here with you, we won't be traitors. The Hong Kong gang may think that we mainlanders are easy to bully, so let's teach them how to behave from now on. It makes sense." Big Dao Scar nodded and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, scattered them around including Chen Lin.Everyone started to smoke in silence. After smoking, the big scar opened the bag and took out two AKs, four black stars and magazines, and a big paper bag. I don't know what it contained. Everyone skillfully reloaded the bullets, loaded the clips, and pulled the bolt to release the safety. Only then did Chen Lin realize that the people in the room were probably all demobilized soldiers.Big Scar brought a black star and handed it to Chen Lin and said, "Will it work?" Chen Lin nodded and ejected the magazine skillfully, then loaded the magazine with the gun between her legs, Big Scar nodded to him. After a while, the tall, thin man who knew how to perform surgery came back after buying a lot of food and beer. Everyone buried their heads in eating and drinking, and no one spoke.After eating and drinking enough, the big scar said: "Sleep now, go out to do things at night." After a while there was snoring in the room.Chen Lin believed even more that they were all soldiers like herself, and soldiers who had passed the test of life and death, otherwise no one would be able to sleep peacefully at this time. Night fell quickly, and everyone woke up one by one but no one turned on the lights. Da Dao Scar said: "The military doctor stays here to take care of the second child, and the others follow me. Remember that after you go out, you listen to Ma Changhe, he told you Whatever you do, everyone should do it, and he is the one who speaks, and the rest should be silent, please remember." After speaking, the six people filed out of the house and came to a broken van.Chen Lin was not unfamiliar with this car, because it was the same car he took when he first came here, and it was driven by a guy from Guangxi.Big Scar sat in the passenger seat, constantly indicating the route to take.After an unknown period of time, they came to a very desolate mountain road.Da Dao Scar took out a plastic bag from under the seat, and took out a few black things from it and distributed them to everyone. Chen Lin took it and saw that it was a black woolen hood.Except for the Guangxi guy, everyone put on their hoods.Da Dao Scar put one of the two automatic rifles beside the Guangxi guy and said: "You agree, if we are chased by the other party when we retreat, you can shoot them." He put the other rifle behind his back, and the other four The people each had a pistol, and Chen Lin was surprised that the big scar also took out a steel pipe and stuck it in his waist. The car stopped beside a dirt hill, and Da Dao Scar got out of the car and led the crowd up the side of the hill.Although Chen Lin only has one hand, the mountain is not complicated, and she can easily go up without help.After climbing to the top of the mountain, Scar made a gesture of lying down, and everyone crawled forward on the ground.There is an open mountain in front, and there is a natural gravel cave on the left of the woods on the right.The strange thing is that there is a bright light in the gravel cave.Chen Lin was wondering, the crowd had already quietly touched the edge of the woods, and continued to approach the entrance of the cave through the dark shade of the trees.Before reaching the entrance of the cave, there was a lot of noise inside, talking, laughing, cursing, but the accent was in Cantonese, and Chen Lin couldn't understand a word. At this time, everyone had reached the entrance of the cave, and the squad leader rushed in first, followed by everyone.Only then did Chen Lin realize that there were many people here, and they were gambling.After the squad leader entered, he shot a lamp and shattered a lamp. Only then did everyone discover them, and there was a burst of exclamation.The squad leader said loudly: "Everyone shut up." Then he fired two more shots. The gamblers were momentarily stunned, and no one dared to shout anymore. At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the crowd, followed by six burly men.He spoke half-familiar Mandarin: "How many friends are from mainland China?" The squad leader said, "Who are you?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm in charge here. May I ask why some friends from mainland China came here tonight with knives and guns?" The squad leader said: "Since you are straightforward, we will not pretend to be grandsons. Let me tell you clearly that the person who was hacked by you yesterday is my brother. I am here today for nothing but to seek justice." After hearing this, the middle-aged man changed his face and said: "It turns out that it was you, Brother Dasheng, who issued the order to kill, don't you know? How dare you come here to seek death." At this time, Big Dao Scar pulled out the steel pipe on his body and stepped forward to face the man. The temple of a middle-aged person is just one shot.There was a muffled pop, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground without humming.Big Dao Scar didn't stop at all, and continued to beat his head with a stick eight or nine times until the opponent's head was bloody and bloody.All the people in the cave, including the thugs, stared dumbfounded at the big scar, and it was strangely quiet for a while. Chen Lin suddenly understood the reason why Da Scar used a stick.If they killed the middle-aged man with a gun, there would definitely be chaos here. This method is even more cruel, and it can have a very strong deterrent effect on people.People who are frightened like this will definitely let themselves be manipulated afterwards. After killing someone, Da Dao Scar casually threw his stick on the ground, pulled out two canvas bags from his waist, and threw one to Dajun.The two of them were not in a hurry, and calmly put all the gambling money on the table into their pockets table by table.The squad leader threw a canvas bag to the thugs and said, "Put all your cash in here." The thugs hesitated for a moment, and the squad leader raised his hand and hit one of them on the left leg. I took out money in a simple small room.The squad leader winked, and Chen Lin followed. There were four or five people in the room, and they seemed to be watching the scene.When they saw Chen Lin entering with a gun, they all raised their hands and stood against the wall.There were only a few chairs in the room, and the rest were two cardboard boxes filled with cash.Chen Lin had never seen so much money before, and she took a deep breath. Fortunately, he was wearing a hood now, so no one could see his expression. Chen Lin waved her hand and asked two of them to carry the cardboard box out, and the big scar had wiped out all the cash on the table.When they got together, they didn't know what the fourth child and Big Scar had whispered, Big Scar nodded.The fourth child went straight to a spectator, raised his hand and shot him twice in the head.Now the cave was in chaos again, and the five fled while taking advantage of the chaos. When I got to the car, the Guangxi guy started the car and left.On the way, Dajun was the first to tear off his mask, reached out and grabbed a handful of banknotes in a cardboard box, and said to everyone excitedly: "We've made a fortune, we've made a fortune, haha." The fourth child has been sitting there with red eyes and panting heavily.The squad leader patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, are you okay?" The fourth child shook his head after panting for a long time, but he didn't speak. The Guangxi guy said: "Brother Scar, what should we do next? Dasheng, a bastard, won't let it go." Big Dao Scar said: "That's right, so we have to act first. Today is just to get some capital for ourselves, so that we can have stronger means to deal with them." Seeing the army kept flipping through a pile of Hong Kong dollars Turning over, Da Dao Scar said: "Brother Da Jun, there is a lot of money here." Da Jun didn't see the change in the color of Da Da's scar and said with a smile: "Yes, it's enough for us to spend a lifetime." Big Dao Scar grabbed Da Jun's hand and said, "Brother, do you think we should divide the money?" Dajun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.The squad leader coughed dryly and said, "Dajun, what to do next, we still listen to Brother Scar." Only then did Da Jun react, and hurriedly said: "I'm so happy and confused, it's Brother Scar who should speak." Big Dao Scar let go of Da Jun's hand, slowly leaned back on the chair, and turned his head to look out of the car.On both sides of the dark mountain road in the night, nothing can be seen, only the whirring of the car engine can be heard.Chen Lin saw that the hand of the big scar kept touching the gun in front of him, but her face became darker and darker. After a long time, Da Dao Scar said: "The person you killed had a share last night?" The fourth child said: "That's right, this bastard was the first to strike. I will never forget him and the man who killed my brother." No one spoke after that.All the way to the shanty town, when they saw the second child again, the second child's injury was much more stable, but he was still very weak.The big scar patted him on the shoulder, the second child nodded, and neither of them said anything.
