The Blaze of Xueba

Boyhood (22)

David Wang and Li Lie and Wu Pang live in the same place. Both their parents died when they were young, and they live in their uncle's house. The uncle has a bad temper and even beat and scolded his own child, let alone a foster child.

Over time, David Wang developed the habit of being a bad boy. From childhood, he hung out with gangsters around the streets, fought, smoked and drank, dropped out of junior high school, packed his bags and escaped over the wall in the middle of the night, and formally joined the local gangsters. Slowly, he made a name for himself with the spirit of not being afraid of death, and he has a group of brothers under him.

When Li Lie was a child, he saw Wang Dawei leading his subordinates to commit crimes. He was not too afraid, but just watched with cold eyes. After entering junior high school, he became irritable. Small fights, no robbery, let alone endangering human life.

David Wang liked Li Lie very much, and asked him to come to his side many times, but Li Lie politely refused.Although Li Lie is capable of fighting and evil, there is still a sense of justice in his heart, and unless it is absolutely necessary, he still wants to use his own hands and feet to find a way out.

Wang Dawei took a breath of smoke, then threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt with his leather shoes and spun it around a few times, and then showed a social smile to Li Lie and Wu Pang, "These few just now are not long. The cubs in the eyes are all new here and don’t know anyone, so I’ll give them a good lesson later.”

Wu Fatty said, "Brother Wei, you are too polite, we are fine."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Lie who had a serious face under the darkness of night.

Li Lie said, "Brother Wei, what are you talking about? We are all brothers. We don't know each other without fighting. We will drink together when we have a chance."

Li Lie knew David Wang's character very well. He was a man with a hidden knife in his smile, and his politeness to others was mostly superficial. He had refused his invitations a few times ago. Maybe he had a grudge in his heart. It's hard to guarantee that he will be dissatisfied in his heart. All in all, he owes him a favor this time.

In essence, he didn't want to have any deeper ties with people of this nature, but money was easy to calculate, and favors were hard to repay, so he broke his heart, smiled, and said, "Brother Wei, this time it's you who saved us from the siege. Hold on, I guess those people won't dare to come to trouble us again. The so-called tit for tat, you can ask me to do whatever you need in the future."

Wang Dawei also guessed that Li Lie wanted to borrow a step to pay off the favor and didn't want to have anything to do with them. He laughed haha, put one hand on Li Lie's shoulder, first said a few polite words, and then squeezed out a slightly sinister face. With a mysterious smile, he said, "That's just right, I recently accepted a task, and I was worried that there was no one available."

David Wang took out a photo from the inside of his clothes and handed it to Li Lie. Li Lie knew the so-called mission in his mouth very well. He took the photo, and it turned out that the photo was a young man, and the time and address were written on the back.

"You block this person according to the time and place you wrote, intimidate him, and let him suffer." David Wang said.

Li Lie nodded, and David Wang added, "I'll contact you tomorrow, and you take your brother with you." He patted Li Lie's shoulder obsequiously, "Don't worry, this is a big boss' task, and money is indispensable !"

After David Wang left, Fatty Wu asked Li Lie tremblingly, "Brother Lie, are you really going?"

Li Lie stuffed the photo into his pocket, picked up the food he bought aside, and said nonchalantly, "Of course, I'm an idiot if I have money."

"But, but—it's very dangerous. What if something happens to you?" Wu Fat looked at Li Lie worriedly. He looked worried.

Li Lie was moved by Wu Fatty's anxious look, he smiled and said, "Your brother, I am born with a tough life, I can't die, how can I die before I take you out!" He slapped Wu Fat, Wu Fat staggered, and he said, "Don't be so sad, it looks annoying. Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's go home quickly."

When Li Lie returned home, Li Huafeng was not there as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief, the living room was lit with dim lights, and Li Zhi was doing a problem, seeing that Li Lie was back, he hurriedly dropped his pen and rushed towards Li Lie, "Brother , why did you come back so late?"

Li Lie stroked Li Zhi's head without saying a word, then opened the fried dumplings that were still warm for her to eat, and asked, "Where's grandma?"

Li Zhi chewed the fried dumplings and said, "Grandma said she was not feeling well today and went to bed first."

Li Lie put the porridge in the kitchen with some regret, and went to see his grandma, seeing that she was sleeping deeply, so he didn't bother her.Li Lie handed the purchased hair accessories to Li Zhi, but unexpectedly the girl refused.

Li Lie asked, "Is it ugly?"

Li Zhi shook his head and asked, "Is this very expensive? Brother, don't buy me these things in the future. It costs money, and I don't like it either."

Li Zhi matured much earlier than children of the same age. She knew that her mother had run away, and that her father Li Huafeng had severely beaten her. She always kept it in her heart, and she had an inexplicable hatred for this man who was drunk all day long.

Her worldview is very simple and snobbish, she treats whoever treats her well, and holds grudges against anyone who treats her badly.Her self-esteem is not inferior to Li Lie to a certain extent, but she is more slanted than Li Lie.

She just wants to study hard and get out of this smoky place as soon as possible, so she is not interested in any girls' beautiful clothes.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Lie felt mixed emotions. He didn't know where to put the hair ornament in his hand. When Li Zhi saw it, he snatched the hair ornament and put it on his head, "Don't be an example, brother."

Li Lie smiled wryly, feeling a little uncomfortable after all.He thought of the well-dressed girls taught by his tutor, and loved by his parents, unlike Li Zhi, who felt that cheap hair accessories were expensive, and felt ashamed, afraid that they would slow him down and become his burden.

A word popped into his mind: twisted world twisted people.He looked up to the sky and sighed, and cursed secretly, what a fucking life!

After Li Lie was sad and cynical for a while, what he should do or what he had to do, he supervised Li Zhi's homework for a while, marveling at how good this girl's grades are!He drove her to rest quickly, and then he lay down on the bed after washing casually.

An hour later, he still couldn't fall asleep. He was so restless that his whole body became hot. He simply took off his shirt and started to do sit-ups. His body was sweating, and he rolled on the ground to do push-ups. I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately.

The next morning Li Lie got up early, got dressed, went to buy breakfast for Li Zhi and grandma, and left a note and money for Li Zhi, telling her that grandma was still unwell and sent her to see a doctor.

After finishing these things, he contacted David Wang to discuss plans for tonight.Wang Dawei brought a person who looked okay, and Li Lie knew at a glance that he was a veteran, so he felt relieved.

The person in the photo Wang Dawei handed over to Li Lie was a rich second generation. The person who wanted to punish him was a local real estate developer in Xicheng. It's all superficial reasons, but the real reason is that this rich second generation kidnapped a real estate developer's lover without knowing how serious it was. Look at the color of the rich second generation: beat him hard without hurting his life, preferably crippled.

At night, Li Lie changed his face, dressed himself as the most ruffian gangster, chewing gum, with tattoos on his bare arms, and rushed into an entertainment place called "Feng Hua Xue Yue". Spread out, drink and hang out, eyes locked on the target.

The rich second generation is a frequent visitor here, and he is completely drunk and defenseless.Li Lie motioned for one of them to drop the cup. As soon as the cup hit the ground, it exploded with a bang. Some people started yelling, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Li Lie and two people tried to surround the rich second generation.

Unexpectedly, this rich second generation looked stupid, but was actually very shrewd. He also brought a lot of people, all of them were tall and burly. He started to flee with his head in his arms, and Li Lie single-handedly chased after him.

Li Lie squeezed through the crowd and grabbed the hem of the rich second generation's clothes. The rich second generation kicked him with unexpectedly strong strength. Li Lie held back the pain and threw himself forward, and the rich second generation fell to the ground.

Li Lie said, "I was also entrusted by others. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just warn you not to touch women you shouldn't touch in the future, otherwise it may not be as simple as getting punched by me next time."

Li Lie punched the rich second generation a few times and let him go. Unexpectedly, the rich second generation picked up a glass wine bottle and smashed it on Li Lie's shoulder. Because it was so sudden, Li Lie didn't have time to guard against it. , he cursed, "Son of a son of a bitch!" The next thing he did feel was a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Several people who brought them rushed to chase after the rich second generation, but Li Lie stopped him, "I have already warned him, there is no need to chase him any more." Put it on, and find each mother and go back to each home with those people.

He walked back slowly, took out the photo in his pocket, and burned it with a lighter.Instead of going home, he went straight to Wu Pang's house. Wu Pang was waiting for him at the door. He asked Li Lie worriedly, "Brother Lie, how are things going? Are things going well?"

Li Lie forced a smile on his gradually pale face, "He's still alive." Then he walked into the back room and said to Wu Fat, "Is there a medicine box at home, bring me some cotton swabs."

After hearing this, Wu Fatty took out the medicine box and opened it. There were all the commonly used medical items. Li Lie was wounded in fights when he was young, and he went to his house to bandage him before returning home.

Li Lie took off his coat, his right shoulder was bloody and bloody, and upon closer inspection there were still a few pieces of broken glass that were bleeding profusely.Wu Pang was so dizzy, he turned around and couldn't bear to look.

Li Lie first wiped off the blood with a cotton cloth dampened with water, then gritted his teeth and used pliers to take out the debris, skillfully cleaned and disinfected it with a cotton swab, and finally wrapped it with a cotton cloth.

Li Lie stood up, "I'll go back first."

Wu Pang asked worriedly, "Brother Lie, are you okay?"

Li Lie said, "It's a big deal!" Then he was deep for a while, with a helpless and vigilant tone, "Don't tell anyone about me, especially Zhou Yan."

"Brother Lie, don't worry, I still have a sense of this in my heart." Wu Pang's small eyes showed a firm light.

Li Lie nodded and returned home.
