Wei Qian did not want to because of their own, make the family sad clouds, so although he is still thinking about this, but as usual, no one like every day to go to work in the factory - he followed Le Xiaodong those years, heavy hearted too much time, over time, so raised a pair of childish city to.

But someone won't let him rest.

The first to bear the brunt is Wei Zhiyuan, Wei Zhiyuan original is how good a child ah, not spoiled, obedient and will look at people's faces, but now he has become a living duck broken mouth, every day in the morning and evening to ask him blearily once, so that the Weiqian annoyed beyond annoyance.

Secondly, Song Laotai, Song Laotai does not need to change, itself is a cartwheel of broken mouth, a person can top 500 ducks, Wei Zhiyuan's nagging and her compared to the weak into the dregs. Wei Qian is simply afraid of her, one day he went home a push door, Song old lady just walked out of the kitchen, saw him, footsteps, opened his mouth, Wei Qian seems to see a terrible bloody mouth, without saying a word, turn around and walk out the door .......

Of course, it turns out that actually the other old lady just wanted to sneeze.

And three fat ones.

The three fat bitch is absolutely unparalleled, one day while he was not at home, with a brush dipped in red paint, in front of his house painted a line of large letters - for the rise of China and study.

That grimy hallway, that blood-red, blood-red, blood-red in big letters ......

The door to the evil old lady got up early, more than four in the morning to go out to walk, the day is not yet bright, was subjected to this kind of shock, she froze in the doorway for three seconds, a short scream, picked up his pants and slammed the door wildly back to his house ...... almost did not pee his pants.

In this ambush on all sides, Wei Qian found the only shred of peace from Song Xiaobao.

Song Xiaobao said to him privately and seriously, "Brother, if you don't want to go, just don't go."

Wei Qian looked up at her in surprise.

Song Xiaobao held a piece of watermelon in his mouth and said sincerely, "Are you not wanting to go to school?"

Wei Qian hesitated and nodded against his will.

Song Xiaobao shook his head and sighed a bit, pretending to be old-fashioned and said, "Alas, there's no way, I understand your difficulties."

Wei Qian was taken aback, and said that she actually already knew so much without realizing it, a bit of a nest, so he asked, "What do you all ...... know?"

Song Xiaobao "yuck" a mouthful, accurately spit watermelon seeds into the ashtray, and said in sympathy: "To be honest with you brother, in fact, I don't want to go to school either."

Wei Qian: "......"

Song was ordered to copy the longest text in his language book twice that night.

But it's amazing to say that there are times when there really is this coincidence, and some desperate turnaround really does happen when a person can't get enough of something - even though it may not be a good turnaround.

On this day Wei Qian changed out of his work clothes and pushed his bike just about to ride off when suddenly a man called out to him.

The man was dressed in a pricey outfit, human-like, with a pair of sunglasses that Wei Qian didn't recognize, but there was a familiar aura about the man.

Wei Qian had a premonition in his heart at that moment, and sure enough, the man saw him and took big steps towards him.

Wei Qian has long been golden, do not want to pay attention, boarded the car and wanted to go, but the man raised his hand to clutch his handlebars, reached out and stepped on the wheels: "This is Xiao Wei brother, right, I want to say a few words to you."

Wei Qian's hand pressed on the handlebar squeezed tightly, veins popping out, and he lowered his voice to warn, "Let go."

The man took off his sunglasses, only to see that his nose was a little crooked, there was a scar above his eyelids, appearing to have a big eye and a small eye, with a vicious and cunning face, he fished out a business card from his pocket and waved it in front of Wei Qian: "Master Hu Si, his old man Wei should always remember, right?"

Wei Qian the first time a person singled out a bunch of looking for trouble, hit the famous that time, there is indeed a self-proclaimed Hu four masters, gave him a business card, very much the meaning of solicitation, Hu four masters are Le's vip guests, Wei Qian, although at that time refused, but the person was very impressed, because he looked at people with strange eyes, as if in his eyes, the person is not a human being, are all pigs, horses, cows, and sheep can be led to the market to sell.

Later Wei Qian heard people mentioned, the old man called Hu four masters is a yellow / gambling / drug rain and shine guy, bad decathlon, under his name there are three or four famous underground black boxing ring, around to recruit look on the beaters and athletes, especially like Wei Qian this kind of fight don't want to die of professionalism.

Wei Qian's eyelids jumped at that time, knowing that this person could not be offended, so he stretched his foot on the ground to stop the car and asked politely, "What is the name of big brother?"

The sunglasses man saw that he was on board and was very satisfied, rubbing his hands together and letting go of his bike, "I don't dare to be, my name is Zhao Laojiu, you can just call me Laojiu."

Wei Qian smiled, "Oh, it's ninth brother, Hu fourth master doesn't come often, may not know, Le ......"

Zhao Laojiu said, "Le Xiaodong is dead, it's been half a year, it's been known for a long time."

Wei Qian lowered his eyes and paused, "Yes, so I am now out of this business, in fact, Hu fourth master and ninth brother look up to me, I should not push three, but you see, I dragged the family, can not get away from anything, but also really ......"

Zhao Laojiu's eyes turned, nodded his head and said: "Alas, I understand, everyone has difficulties, Hu fourth master is so unreasonable people? Now the main thing is this, his old man opened a new 'point', 'field' has not been covered hot, especially the lack of people to warm up the field, the urgent need to find a few powerful to support, although it is delayed your work, but the price you have to rest assured, Hu four masters absolutely not treat their own people. "

Wei Qian has followed Le Xiaodong in and out of many occasions in the latter part of his life, and he knows more or less a little bit about many things - he heard out that Zhao Laojiu meant to say that Master Hu Si has got a new black boxing ring, and he wants to ask him to go and warm up the ring.

The black boxing market in the two provinces has been around for a long time, and with the profiteering that comes from playing for your life, some of the underground gyms would have real masters in them, and these guys would have been able to get tens of thousands of dollars a game in the mid-nineties, while other insignificant warm-ups would have been a few thousand a game for the small fry.

Wei Qian laughed mockingly, "Ninth Brother, don't tease me, how many kilograms do I have that I'm not clear about myself? A real boxing sparring expert can crush me with a single finger, it doesn't matter if I live or die, it's not good to disgrace Master Hu Si and you."

Wei Qian knows, if he agreed, surely even Zhao Laojiu's people, Zhao Laojiu for Hu four masters to do things to find people, the middle must be to take advantage of, to find people lose win, he has a share of these things Wei Qian heart have a number.

"You're wrong, it's not that," Zhao Laojiu waved his hand, "A real expert is not a cabbage, how can it be so easy to find? Hu fourth master what vision, he sees you, you do not need to be presumptuous ......"

Said this, nine brother suddenly look around, lowered his voice to Wei Qian said: "Besides nine brother with you through a truth, in the ring, in fact, you generally powerful on the line, fishing a few games, ten thousand eight hundred thousand dollars, take it away, this money comes easily, nothing happened. Really powerful to a certain extent but not good, the top fighters in the senior ring can not come down, there will always be more powerful, to the end of the end is to die on it."

The corner of Wei Qian's eye jumped.

"I don't talk to you about false," Zhao Laojiu peered at his complexion, and pressed his voice even lower, "Hu four masters sent us out, and I have looked for a lot of people. Like you, the entry price is two thousand, after that there are no bonuses and commission, depending on your personal performance, those people ...... are those who are the most powerful, the entry of three to five million can not be beaten, that is to play the price of life, you just want to play with others, but also can not play at that level, understand?"

Wei Qian was silent, Zhao Laojiu's words did have some credibility.

"Alas, brother, I just told you a general market, did not scare you, we this time, with the general market is not the same, our task is to warm up, is to make the new boxing arena speculation, is equal to the opening ceremony, you understand it? It's just a flicker, the risk is very small, not to the point of playing with life." Zhao Laojiu intimate pat on his shoulder, stuffed him a train ticket: "next Monday's ticket, written on the back of my phone number, you want to be willing to go over there to find me, do not want to forget it, I'm looking for brothers to help a little help, the sale is not benevolent still in it, is not it?"

Wei Qian carried this train ticket, lying in bed for a night without closing his eyes.

Zhao Laojiu's appearance was almost as if he had only dozed off when someone gave him a pillow.

Wei Qian once wondered how he was going to support his family if he went back to school. Zhao Laojiu gave him the answer, the entrance fee would be two thousand, no need to be more, he would have five or six thousand dollars if he could just last two or three shows.

Five or six thousand is nothing, but this money at that time in the ordinary people's home, has not been a small amount of money, the family has a penny like Mrs. Song break eight petal flower, Wei Qian believes that with her thriftiness, with this money comfortably to make a living for a whole year are no problem.

But ......

Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat - this truth is known to everyone, there is no pie in the sky, Wei Qian clearly understand, Zhao Laojiu said what "opening reward" what "flakes" The whole thing is bullshit.

Why single him out? It's such a long way from the south to the north, and there are countless others who can fight.

When Wei Qian thought about it, he felt that I am afraid that it is Le Xiaodong who died, and Hu Sifu went a long way to find him, and he wants him to be this kind of rootless and bottomless.

In front of him is a pool of water, clear to the bottom, the bottom of the pool is the gold visible to the naked eye, but Wei Qian simply do not know, he jumped in with a jerk, in the end he jumped into how deep the water, and he also does not know, he jumped down and still can not come up again.

Pocky was making a fortune before he died, too.

Wei Qian rolled over, his muscles began to ache after lying for a long time. He gently got up, trying not to wake Wei Zhiyuan up - the day was too hot, the child's head was covered in sweat, and it was really rare for him to sleep so.

Wei Qian walked downstairs and circled around the old silo of the shantytown, donkey pulling the mill like a mill, attempting to pull out a little Zen.

Wei Qian felt that this was all because he was too greedy, the burden was still heavy, yet he still wanted them all to live a relatively loose and good life.

He always thought, his mom sold her body to bring him up, isn't he still better than a chicken? How could he let Xiaobao and Xiaoyuan live the way they did when they were little?

And as if that were not enough, he had the luxury of going to school.

Wei Qian, in the morning light, topped with the dew that had just fallen, like a great demon who had crossed the threshold of the heart, severely tortured his heart.

What's the point of going to school, he told himself fiercely? Does going to high school mean you'll get into college? Does going to college mean you'll be able to finish? Will he be able to find a good job? Even if he found a good job, could he make up for the six or seven years he had wasted from high school to college?

Wei Qian listed in his own mind, all the reasons he could think of, why it was not worth going to school.

That's when he saw the owner of the kiosk downstairs yawning and opening up.

Wei Qian kicked away a small stone and said to himself in his heart: go to school, why don't you want to go to heaven?

He bought a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the kiosk, officially declaring him a total failure after six months of quitting.

Wei Qian squatted on the side of the road and finished the cigarette, and then he made a decision quite different from what he had just thought-isn't it Guangdong? Go!
