Chapter 5 Section 4

After entering the Ertian Gate, Tuoshi went to Madao Street and walked in the opposite direction to Chen Zhan.After passing Yanwen Street and walking for a short distance, he turned right into an alley.The apartment he lives in is a second-floor building in that row of small residential buildings. A staircase hangs on the cracked outer wall. The handrails are stained with rust and the paint has peeled off, as if suffering from a skin disease. Just about to go up the stairs, Tuoshi suddenly felt someone on it, looked up, and stopped.Nakanishi was sitting at the top of the stairs with his legs spread apart, the pointed toes of his tasteless patent leather shoes clearly visible.Nakanishi looked down at him, grinning limply.

Tuoshi turned right immediately, trying to slip away quickly, but it was too late.Two men were already standing behind him, both of them were wearing cheap suits, and they were colleagues who were doing street sales with Tuo Shi just now. Takumi looked in the opposite direction, there were also two men blocking the way.Judging from their attire, they also seem to be Chinese and Western partners. The four of them just stared at Takumi, and didn't do anything.But it seems that they don't want to do it, but they are waiting for instructions. Nakanishi stood up and walked down the stairs.I don't know who he wants to show it to, just like the protagonist in previous gangster movies, with his hands in his trouser pockets.The tasteless leather shoes clattered on the stairs.

Nakanishi stared at Takumi and stood face to face with him. "Just now, thank you very much." The part of Nakanishi's face that had been beaten was swollen.Takumi felt that he hadn't exerted all his strength, but the consequences seemed to be more serious than expected. It is estimated that every time the muscles on Nakanishi's face moved, they would feel strange.The corners of his mouth were more crooked than before, making his face even more obnoxious. Takumi touched his cheek. "Does it hurt?" Grinning his teeth, Nakanishi stretched out his left hand and grabbed Takumi's collar. "You came back just in time. You think you'll be all right after you've been rectified?"

"Well, you can give me a punch." "You don't need to tell me to pay you back, it's more than just a punch." After speaking, Nakanishi raised his right fist.He didn't move fast, so he could avoid it completely, but avoiding this punch would make him even more annoyed, and the gain outweighed the loss.However, it cannot be hit on the bridge of the nose.When his fist was about to touch his cheek, Takumi turned his face slightly.Then, Nakanishi's bland fist hit him slightly below the cheekbone, not very hard, but still had an impact, and Takumi's ears buzzed.

Nakanishi let go of his hand, but Takumi was not relieved by it.At some point, the man standing behind him caught him.Takumi tried to struggle, but the opponent's strength was much stronger than he imagined, and he couldn't break free at all.He looked back and saw that the two men were twisting his arms respectively. Nakanishi found a four-edged wooden stick from nowhere, and whipped it toward Takumi's abdomen like a baseball bat, and several other people also came to kick him, and all of a sudden there was a storm of blows and kicks.Tuoshi shifted all his strength to his abdominal muscles, but even so, every few times he was hit, his internal organs would always vibrate.In addition to the pain, he also felt that something was going up in his stomach, and the taste of ice cream returned to his mouth with a sour taste.He couldn't cry out and had trouble breathing.Gradually, he couldn't stand up anymore, bent his knees, and fell to his knees with a plop.The hand that twisted Takumi's arm was released, and he collapsed to the ground immediately.

The five continued to beat Takumi cursing.He hugged his head and curled his body into a ball like a rock. He heard someone shouting, not the voices of the five men.Meanwhile, the beating stopped.Another shout came to my ears clearly: "Stop hitting!" Tuoshi still held his head in his hands, stealthily followed Shengsheng, and saw that weird boy Shisheng running towards this side.What a fool, Takumi thought. "What are you doing?" one of the five shouted. "Five against one, shameless!" Shi Sheng shouted angrily.What is he holding.Upon closer inspection, it was a broken umbrella picked up from nowhere.

"Little devil, get out of here, don't meddle in your own business." The man backed away with a fistful of his chest.Tuoshi also thought to himself: Yes, get out of here. Shi Sheng didn't know why he was thinking about it, so he raised his broken umbrella and hit the man.The man dodged easily, and hit Shi Sheng's face with a straight punch.Shi Sheng was beaten so that he flew backwards and fell to the ground. Nakanishi walked over and rode on him, grabbing his sharp jaw. "Where did you come from? Miyamoto's friend?" "No", Takumi wanted to say that, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make a sound.

Shisheng himself answered. "It's a relative." Takumi closed his eyes involuntarily. "Say more!" "Oh, so you are also jointly and severally responsible." Zhongxi said with a grin. "Let him go..." Tuoshi tried his best to squeeze out a little voice, "He's still a child." A person beside him said "What are you shouting for?", raised his leg and kicked. Tuoshi blocked with both hands, stood up, and rushed to drag Zhongxi away from Shisheng. "I have nothing to do with this guy, not a relative, I don't know him at all."

Nakanishi shook his shoulders with a mocking expression on his face. "Want to protect him? Are you stunned young people singing high-profile songs?" Tuoshi turned his head and said to Shisheng: "Idiot, run!" "I'm not running." "I told you to run!" As soon as he said this, Tuoshi was hit on the head by something, and before the pain hit, he felt that his mind began to blur.He didn't faint immediately, but threw himself on Shi Sheng, trying his best to protect this stranger from getting hurt.When he was beaten, he was still thinking, how could I do this?This is not in line with my usual style. I never care about this kind of person's life or death.

When Tuoshi woke up, he found himself lying on the ground, and his cheeks still felt contact with the asphalt road.He opened his eyes, and there was an orange windbreaker in his hazy vision.Shi Shengzai sat leaning against the wall with his legs stretched out, his head drooping on his chest, and his hair hanging down to cover his face. Tuoshi stood up, feeling that the joints of his whole body were ringing, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was swollen, as if he was still having a fever. He staggered into Shisheng, grabbed his shoulder, and shook him while calling.Shi Sheng shook his head back and forth.Shi Sheng opened his eyes when his head stopped shaking.He was bleeding from his right nostril, but did not appear to be seriously injured.

Takumi breathed a sigh of relief. "It doesn't matter?" As soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was immediately filled with the smell of blood. Shisheng looked at Takumi and blinked a few times.Judging by his expression, it seems that he has not recovered yet. "Ah... Dad." "what?" "Uh, no, Takumi, are you okay?" His mouth probably couldn't be opened yet, and his voice was so soft that he could barely hear it. "It's a shame that you still asked if there was anything wrong, why did you come to meddle in my own business!" A middle-aged obese woman who seemed to be coming home from shopping looked at them with disgust and walked over.After watching her walk away quickly, Tuoshi asked Shisheng, "Can you stand up?" "Probably." Shi Sheng bared his teeth and stood up, patted his buttocks.It was only then that Tuo Shi realized that the suit on his body was in tatters, and bloody wounds could be seen from the scraped knees. "Let's go to my house first." "Nearby?" Shi Sheng looked around. "It's just above." Takumi pointed to the rusty stairs. As soon as Tuoshi opened the door that always got stuck every time the switch was opened, Shisheng whispered: "It's so dirty!" "Stop talking! Don't come in if you don't like it." Tuoshi took off his old leather shoes and entered the house.There is only a kitchen with less than three stacks and a Japanese room with six stacks, and pornographic books and comics are still everywhere.Looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a while, it rustles and kicks up dust everywhere you go.The closet was full of shabby stuff, and the door was ajar, revealing a dirty, thin, stiff quilt.There was a foul smell coming from nowhere in the room.Tuoshi pulled back the never-washed curtains and opened the window. "Just find a place to sit." After speaking, Takumi took off his shirt and washed his face by the kitchen faucet.There was a burning pain in his mouth.After washing, he was lying on the kitchen floor like a broken rag, forming a "big" character.His whole body hurts, and he doesn't know where he hurts the most. Shisheng stood at a loss in the middle of the Japanese room for a while, and then sat down on a pile of "Shounen Jump" magazines as if he had made up his mind. "Live in a place like this." He looked around curiously. "It's tattered, sorry." "Dirty, but interesting." "what?" "How should I put it... so you have lived in such an apartment before." Shi Sheng smiled on his nosebleed face. "Damn it! What do you mean lived? You just lived there. By the way, how did you know this place? You came with me all the way?" Tuoshi asked while still lying down. "I wanted to follow, but I lost it later. Didn't I do that?" It seems to be talking about a large plate on the back of the hand.Toshi snorted coldly. "It came out of nowhere, so it's a relative, do you think I will believe it?" "That's true, maybe everyone will find it strange." "Naturally. So, since you lost track, how did you find it here again?" "Well, I still vaguely remember some." "Vaintly remember?" "You brought me here before. It seems that when I came back from a trip to Asakusa, I was still in elementary school. You said that you lived here when you were young." "Who said this?" "Who..." Shi Sheng hesitated to speak, and then said, "It's Dad." "Ah?" Tuoshi opened his mouth wide open, "Even if your father lived here, what does it have to do with you?" "The places where young people live in this area are roughly the same." "I'm afraid it was a coincidence." "Well, good luck." "What's the matter? It's okay to be beaten like this? Hey, do you have any cigarettes on you?" "No, I don't smoke." "Hmph, useless guy." Tuoshi reached for an empty coke can, turned it upside down, and saw a lot of cigarette butts inside from the opening.He dug out a few with his fingers, picked the longest one and set it on fire in his mouth.This cigarette butt should also belong to Qixing, but it tastes different when it is inhaled.Takumi thought, it was the first time he encountered such a difficult cigarette, but he continued to smoke. "Can I ask questions too?" Shi Sheng asked. "what?" "Who was that group just now?" "They are my colleagues, they are still this morning." "What job?" "It's a bad job, it's too bad, so I quit, and I beat them up, and they came to retaliate. You shouldn't write your real address on your resume, just write a random one." Tuo Shi took a puff of cigarette .After all, what you smoke is a cigarette butt, and the tobacco leaves you spit out are not of a serious color. "I was beaten up." "Ok." "Why didn't you fight back? It should be able to resist for a while, haven't you practiced boxing?" Tuoshi was about to put the cigarette butt to his mouth, but at this moment he stopped and glanced at Shisheng. "Listen to that woman?" "Which woman?" "Stop being stupid! Do you think I don't know?" The cigarette butt was too short to hold.He snuffed it out and looked for another one. He practiced in the boxing gym for half a year, when he was in high school.After quitting the baseball club, he looked for a project to devote himself to.However, after learning the power of the guy who had already started, he was amazed, knowing that he was powerless, so he gave up. "It's good to fight back." Shi Sheng was still talking. "A counterattack will make them even more angry, and they will pay me back ten blows." "Dad... you can't be older than five people." "I don't have that ability. Even if I knock down five of them, next time there will be fifty to take revenge. Anyway, they have to beat me up. In this case, it's better to let five people beat me up." "That's it." "That's it. Let's not talk about it. I haven't asked about your affairs yet." Just as Takumi said this, the door lock was unlocked with a click, and Chizuru with a ponytail came in.She was wearing a cheap leather skirt over denim.Seeing Takumi lying on the kitchen floor, her big, round eyes widened even further. "What, did you fight with someone?" "No. There was some dispute over work." "Disputes..." She was about to say something, but suddenly seeing a strange young man in the room, she swallowed her words.Shi Sheng nodded to her, and she nodded too. "His name is Shi Sheng, he was with me just now, and he was beaten too." "Oh, what a shame." Qianhe apologized. "Qianhe, give me a cigarette." "The wound must be treated first." She entered the room, squatted beside Tuoshi, and touched his swollen cheek. "It hurts...don't touch it, just get a cigarette." "Smoking is bad for wounds. You wait, I'll go buy medicine. Do you have money?" Toshi reached into his trouser pocket.There should be several thousand-yen bills, but his fingers only touched a few coins.He frowned, remembering what Zhongxi said before leaving: "You messed up everything, I didn't make any money today, and I want you to pay for it." Tuo Shi stretched out his hand and spread it out. "Only three hundred and twenty yuan?" Qianhe was very disappointed. "I'm sorry, you can pay for the medicine." Tuo Shi said while touching her thigh. Chizuru slapped his hand and stood up. "Wait, I'll come as I go." "Please." Chizuru went out, shaking her ponytail. Tuoshi lit another cigarette butt.The room still smelled of the cheap perfume Chizuru wore. "Women are cheap?" Shi Sheng asked. "Well," Takumi replied, "it's pretty good, isn't it?" "Ah...um." For some reason, Shi Sheng showed a puzzled expression, "But you won't marry her, right?" "Why? Can't you marry her?" "No, it's not." Shi Sheng scratched his head. "I'm planning to marry her as my wife. Of course, there are no conditions yet." "Well, is it?" Shi Sheng lowered his head. "What's the matter? What are you doing in despair?" "No, it's just, is this okay?" "Why do you say that? What's wrong? You fell in love with Qianhe at first sight, and you became jealous so quickly?" "how could be!" "So, who am I going to marry is none of your business? Don't worry about it." "Well, it's none of my business." Shi Sheng put his hands on his knees and sat down again. Tuoshi raised his upper body, endured the pain and sat up cross-legged, reached out for a copy of "Ordinary PUCH" and looked at the pictures of beauties.Still wearing a swimsuit, revealing her tanned skin.Take it all off, okay?Takumi thought, Qianzuru is not bad, but it would be even better if her breasts were as big as hers. Chizuru Hayase works at a bar in Kinshicho.Takumi used to work as a waitress at the coffee shop across from that bar, and Chizuru used to go there for a cup of coffee before work.They met there and hit it off quickly.The first time the two had sex was in this filthy house after returning from their second date.At that time, because the bedding was too thin, Chizuru complained of back pain halfway through.From then on, Takumi developed the habit of drying the bedding before dating, but it didn't last long, because they changed to meet at Chizuru's house later. "I'm back." The door slammed open, and Qianzuru returned to the house. -------------------------------- Note:
