Chapter 3 Chongqing Personality Baisha Wharf 3

A few years later, Brother Eight had a girlfriend, the princess.The female orphan of the year.Later, when she grew up, she really looked like a princess. The princess has a talent for singing.Not only has a good voice, but he can sing very thoughtfully at a young age.After finishing elementary school, she went to art school.Live reading.It seems that I haven't seen her in Baisha Town for several years.It was assumed that she would basically never come back here. At that time, Brother Eight, who was only 20 years old, was competing for the first violin in the opera house, and fell in love passionately at the same time. One day, he brought his girlfriend back to the Baisha Pier in the slum, and ostentatiously passed through the streets, attracting the attention of passers-by.

But not long after returning to Baisha Wharf, the princess rebelled. Brother Eight's band is going to Beijing to perform—just the band—about half a month away.The eighth senior brother is worried about the princess.The princess was indeed assigned to the opera house, and her visit caused a general commotion.Actors young and not young are all excited to varying degrees.What disturbed the eighth brother most was that the princess didn't feel disgusted by this kind of excitement.Not only is he not disgusted, but he is actually very proud of it.How sensitive is the eighth brother who can compete for the first violin, can he smell something?Before he leaves Yu, he wants to settle the princess well.

The eighth senior brother entrusted the princess to someone to look after.This person is a small worker of Xinhua Bookstore.Speaking of small workers, people in the mid-1980s no longer looked up at the working class.The eighth senior brother entrusted his "wife" (he often introduced the princess as such) to a small worker, after full consideration and reasons. One, the little worker is not handsome.Second, the small worker is already married, and just married.Third, the little worker is a loyal person.Recognized so.Fourth, the little worker is tall and big, good at fighting, and belongs to the local snake with a little reputation, so he should have enough deterrent power to the perverts in the opera house.Fifth, the little worker lives in Jiefangbei, which is close to the opera house; not only is it close, it is basically his sphere of influence.This is the reason why the eighth senior brother did not entrust the princess to the senior brothers at Baisha Wharf.The pier is far from the city center.

The above items are all reasonable and thorough enough, but there is an important omission, that is, the small workers are already very rich.It's true that the little worker works in the bookstore, but he does business after work, and he belongs to the group of people who wake up earlier.Moreover, because "wealth is not revealed", most people don't know that he has made a fortune; and because "a man becomes bad when he has money" was concluded later, neither the princess nor his wife can do bad things to him. Contemporary ideological preparation. As for the princess, it was normal for the little worker to approach her.It was entrusted by my boyfriend.Moreover, although the princess is not a woman with strong material desires in essence, material things are always easy to make people happy.So the rich little workman can often make the princess happy.It's that simple.

What shocked the princess most was probably her debut performance.It is the famous opera "Madame Butterfly".At that time, stage plays had begun to be neglected by the public, especially in a place like Chongqing, where "the sun is shining brightly" is an aria. .The princess was prepared for this, and said that she would be satisfied if she could sit on a third of the people. So much more than that.There are more than 90%, which is basically a full house.Later, I found out that the little worker bought all the remaining tickets, at least 60% of them, and distributed them meticulously.The so-called meticulousness is that he has a choice, first of all, you want to go, and secondly, you will listen, so you will give.How well intentioned, the princess couldn't help but be moved.

The princess seemed to be buzzing with people's voices, she quietly lifted the curtain and looked at it, she was startled, overjoyed and extremely excited. Moreover, when to be quiet, when to applaud, and when to applaud and applaud, everything is just right, it's just the icing on the cake. The leaders of the opera house naturally do not know the truth.And people at that time didn't have the imagination to reach that step.At most, I can only think that the reputation of a princess in the society - the name of beauty, has a lot of compliments, that's all.That's all.It has existed since ancient times that a famous actor drives a troupe.Although he is a little young, but at a time when stage plays are in jeopardy, how dare he care about this?

Therefore, the Opera House, as well as the Cultural Affairs Bureau, officially announced that the performance was a great success. The princess became famous overnight. Brother Eight, who is far away in the capital, doesn't know anything about the situation in his hometown.At that time, there were no mobile phones or anything, and everything came a few beats later.In short, when Brother Eight returned to Chongqing, the first woman who came to him was not the princess, but the little worker's wife. Let me explain: since the small worker is a tyrant, he naturally has enemies.What he has done and what he has, naturally someone will know.

The little worker's wife clearly told Brother Eight: My man slept with your woman. The eighth brother met the princess.With just one glance at her, he knew that the little worker's wife was not lying.Brother Eight turned around and went back to Baisha Pier.The first person he looked for was not Senior Brother, but Seventh Senior Brother. It was a hot day.The pier is especially hot.Most people think that the riverside is cool, which is a reversal of logic.The landscape is so close, the pier is covered with heat.So the two of them went down to the river to soak.The snow water in Bayan Har Mountain is still icy cold.This water has to flow through the Three Gorges to Wuhan before it is no longer cold.In order to be greedy for this coldness, Chongqing people in the stove risked their lives to jump into the Yangtze River.According to figures released by the Civil Affairs Bureau, an average of 120 people are drowned in the two rivers every year.

Brother Seven was taken aback.He didn't expect the princess to fall apart so quickly.And he was a humble little worker.Everything is too uncoordinated.But the icy cold water of the river gave Brother Qi, the only scholar at Baisha Wharf, an epoch-making realization in an instant, realizing that an era where anything can happen has arrived.He looked across.The hillside on the opposite bank is always going upstream.He withdrew his gaze, looked intently at Brother Eight, the only musician at Baisha Wharf, nodded, and said a sentence of only four words gently and earnestly.This sentence is a common phrase in Baisha Wharf, but it is a very important word.This sentence means you have to admit it.The seventh brother said to the eighth brother: You have to admit your debt.

Brother Seven is short, fat, with a head as big as a bucket, no neck, thick eyebrows, thin eyes, a fleshy nose, a big mouth, and thick lips—but ugly but not vulgar.And they are white and tender, which is rare among men in Chongqing, but in some movies, the unscrupulous capitalists in Shanghai in the early days of liberation can be regarded as one of a kind.A few years later, feudal superstitions were on the rise, and there were always some people who forcibly told fortune-tellers chased Brother Seven, claiming that he was a rare noble figure. Seventh brother said that you have to admit it.But Eighth Senior Brother shook his head resolutely.Seventh Brother was a little surprised.Firstly, the eighth senior brother has always obeyed him, and secondly, he rushed back from the city on such a hot day and didn't listen to me, so why bother?

But after thinking about it again, this person is on the head of the grief and anger, and he can't listen to it once or twice.In other words, this kind of woman must give up straight away, otherwise she will be plagued by trouble and pain for the rest of her life. The eighth senior brother shook his head resolutely.Leaning a little, I said, that woman, of course I won't want it, but I can't let that guy go.He was talking about small workers. Brother Qi said, why bother?Since you don't want women anymore, why bother with men? Brother Eight buried his head in the water, and after a long while, he lifted it up and wiped his face with his hands.Wipe, wipe, wipe your face like a stone. The eighth senior brother is thin and dark, everything is the opposite of the seventh senior brother.Two people walk together, one is like dough, the other is like a rock.In terms of art, Brother Eight may belong to the works of Michelangelo.That is to say, he is like a sculpture, a stone sculpture.Or, just like his violin—after he finished playing, he bowed, stood up straight, and held the violin in his hand like this, careful people will find that the two are very similar—the player and the person being played By.So, Brother Eight is a handsome man?Then of course.However, no fortune teller drove him away.Anyone who knows the business knows that good looks and good friends are not the same thing.Of course, no one said that his phase was not good. Brother Eight suddenly asked, when we were in junior high school, we read a comic book, is it called "Spring and Autumn in a Small Town"? Brother Seven immediately reacted and said yes.And took a deep breath, lowered his big head like a bucket. There are two friends in the book, one is an officer of the Kuomintang and the other is a teacher.The teacher's fiancée is very beautiful.The teacher asked the officer to pick up his fiancée by boat, but the officer actually raped his friend's fiancée on the boat, fearing that it would be difficult to explain, so he simply threw the teacher into prison.Seventh Senior Brother and Eighth Senior Brother learned that idiom from that book: Human Face and Animal Heart. This comic strip is based on a novel.The fiancée was painted beautifully.At that time, the seventh and eighth senior brothers were all developing, and they wanted to masturbate when they saw the fiancée, and they all felt that their beloved had been ruined, so they hated the officer's behavior deeply, and it was hard to extricate themselves.Especially the eighth senior brother, who is passionate by nature, everything is more intense, and he repeatedly swore such an oath: In the future, if you encounter such a guy, you must kill him. Seventh Senior Brother looked at Jiang Xin.A large wooden boat was speeding down.It was a large paddle of 32 people, which is said to be the largest paddle on the Yangtze River.People paddling with their backs forward, so they keep going back and forth.These people are of different ages, heights, and clothing are not uniform, but their souls are unified.That unity cannot be performed.It is not enough to gather the best actors in the world.Thirty-two long wooden oars, like centipede feet, plunged into the water one by one in unison.It was already the mid-1980s, and no one knew that this was the last big paddle.After that, the tug (a small, powerful ship) gradually and generally replaced the wooden oar.The romantic poems on the Yangtze River disappeared unconsciously. Crack, clap, clap, clap --- in the silent hustle and bustle of the city, the sound of unison can still be heard very clearly.The sound of a group of oars being plunged into the water together.The sound is indescribable, and the rhythm is extremely strong.Brother Eight, a professional violinist, said that no percussion music in any symphony by any master can compare with the paddling in the Yangtze River.Neither does Beethoven's. Brother Qi said, we all forgot about the comic book.The eighth brother nodded.Yes, it is still not easy to remember something all the time.Because, when and what will appear, life will not inform you. Seventh Brother said, since this is the case, then it's up to you. That is to say, to kill the small workers. So, what to do with the princess? deal with what?Not processed. Ok. The eighth brother splashed in the water and swam to the center of the river.Seventh Senior Brother followed behind him. That night, the seventh senior brother and the eighth senior brother invited the elder brother to have a night drink on a wooden boat.As for the murder, those who broke the law must of course keep it secret, so even the second and third senior brothers were not invited. However, he does not shy away from the ship owner.The boat owner ran around the rivers and lakes, coming and going without a trace. Whatever happened, he took it and threw it away.This boat is coming down from Yibin.The owner of the ship is a little familiar with the brothers at Baisha Wharf.There are many such ship owners.It is common practice to give him a little money and invite him to host dinners and drinks.Of course, it doesn't have to be the ship owner himself who does it.The ship owner and the sailors went ashore, either to have business or to seek pleasure, leaving a slow and silent half-old man to take care of the meals. There are two kinds of appetizers: Hudou and twice-cooked pork.Cook the meat first—a large piece of fatty meat is thrown into the pot like this, and the half-cooked ones are picked up, and the dried beans are fried. In the pot, scoop cold water to stir, cook for a while, take it out, add oil and salt, and fry it.Then cut the meat and fry the meat, which is called twice-cooked pork.This is the most original meat dish, and it is also the most timeless meat dish.He also came to eat together.He ate quickly, settled it in three or two strokes, then sat on the bow of the boat and smoked leaf cigarettes facing the moon. Inviting the elder brother to come is not to make up his mind, and the elder brother is not the kind of person who is particularly good at generating action plans, but to get his consent: We want to kill the little workers.If he agrees, then what is personal can become everyone's business. It is easy to kill people, but easy not to break the law, but not so easy to kill people without breaking the law.That's why the big brother didn't nod easily.Eldest brother is definitely not an idiot - if you can't find a way not to break the law, I will not agree to kill you.If it's just trouble, then I can take the lead, but never let the government deal with us.Although Quay was described as lawless by the primary and secondary school teachers, she still has her principles behind the scenes. Therefore, whether or not that method can be found is the premise of everything. After discussing for a long time, the proposed solutions were rejected one by one. Suddenly, the half-old boatman who kept smoking leaf cigarettes drools in the river and said a word lightly.He said he drives a motorcycle, let him drive a motorcycle. (Later, after Brother Eight broke out, there was a banquet for the traffic police, and one of the traffic police said this sentence: The first batch of cubs who bought motorcycles in Chongqing were almost killed.) The first to be reminded is the seventh senior brother who has become a scholar and should be pedantic.He said, isn't Lao Shisan a professional motorcycle driver? Yes, the old thirteen is a film runner of the film company, transporting and delivering the film copies.Sometimes when the time is tight, his motorcycle has to slide like a loach in the sea of ​​people in the downtown center, and his skills are really nothing to say. After the last pea was thrown into the mouth, that method was fully figured out.
