Chapter 300
I was the first to break the silence and thank him for tonight.
"You're welcome. I'm doing a good deed. Also," he turned to look at me and said, "I'll save you all. I can't solicit customers with my face like this. You guys have to pay to repair your car."
I nodded and said it was right, we would pay for the repairs.
The driver nodded and said, "I see you've all been hit with a few sticks. How are you doing?"
It's okay that he didn't mention it, but now that he mentioned it, I felt pain in my back again, and Xiaoxuan's face turned ugly. Xiaoxuan kept rubbing her shoulders with her hands, and the sticks we received were not light.
"Did you just say you were traveling to Yinchuan?"
I said yes, here to play.
"What fun is this? Can a tourist offend the Kim brothers? With their status and age, they won't trouble you for no reason."
Seeing that I was silent, he smiled and said: "That's right, everyone has secrets, so I won't ask. It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and I don't think you can go back. If you don't have a place to stay, why not stay overnight at my house?" It’s too late.”
Because I wasn’t familiar with this person, I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Dou Sprout took over the conversation.
Douyazai said thank you so much, brother, and we will leave in the morning.
Liu Zhiyuan lives in Desheng No. 2 Village, not far from here. I hesitated for a few minutes. I didn’t know what to say after Dou Sprout said so, so I followed him home.
He is not a native of Yinchuan. Liu Zhiyuan's hometown is Shandong. His family background is a bit like mine and he has no relatives. He has been hanging out in Yinchuan for more than ten years and has been following a man named Wang Baotian on the streets. On the way back to Desheng Village, I chatted with him. Liu Zhiyuan always had a smile on his face. I asked him how he knew the dwarf man just now.
He joked: "You are talking about a dwarf. He is just relying on an uncle from the family. There are not many people who live in Yinchuan who really believe in him. In the words of my hometown, even a green onion in our Shandong grows taller than him." "
I ask, are you not afraid of his revenge in the future?
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said that after my uncle's death, I would stop hanging around and drive a taxi with my wife. The short guy didn't dare to come over and cause trouble for me. If he wanted to find me, it would be the Jin brothers.
When we arrived at Desheng Village, we stayed at Liu Zhiyuan’s house for one night. What impressed me deeply about this person was the story about him and his wife. This woman’s name was Chang Xiaoxia. She was in her mid-thirties. When I saw her, she was on crutches. , the right calf is disabled.
Chang Xiaoxia is a native of Yinchuan. Liu Zhiyuan has known her since 1987, and a few years ago they went to the wedding banquet hall to receive the certificate. In the early 1990s, Liu Zhiyuan was in his early twenties and was a gangster in Zaozhuang, Shandong. Chang Xiaoxia was from Yinchuan, and Liu Zhiyuan followed her to Yinchuan in order to chase her.
With good skills, courage and loyalty, Liu Zhiyuan, who was in his early twenties when he first arrived in Yinchuan, was quickly appreciated by a man named Wang Baotian. When Wang Baotian was working, the Jin brothers were still running a coal washing plant in Shanxi.
The northwest city has a strong folk custom. At that time, there were three most profitable businesses on the street, the game hall, the billiards hall, and the chess and card room. Liu Zhiyuan is responsible for overseeing the eight game arcades under Wang Baotian in the Xinhua Street area. It can be said that they are making money every day.
Today's game halls are different from those at that time. Nowadays, serious game halls are for playing, but at that time, they were all for gambling, and the chips were game coins.
At that time, in some places, you could only buy two coins for 1 yuan, and in some relatively economically backward places, you could buy 10 coins for 1 yuan. Each coin took an average of about 10 minutes to play, such as Dinosaur Kombat, even a master would have to play two or three. It takes ten minutes to pass. Players will also bet against each other, betting on who can pass the level first. The winning or losing is only a small amount of money. The real pain is the fishing machine.
Fishing machines are all controlled by the dealer. You will win today, and you will win tomorrow. You will let the small win for two days first. When the dealer feels that it is almost done, he will set up the fishing machine. At this time, you can lose everything, your wife and children. Go in.
In 1991, Chang Xiaxia returned to her hometown from Zaozhuang and sold clothes in Xinbai, which is now the old department store on Xinhua Road. At that time, she didn't like Liu Zhiyuan. In her eyes, Liu Zhiyuan was just a little gangster who was obsessed with her. .
She returned to Yinchuan to develop, and Liu Zhiyuan also followed from Zaozhuang. Chang Xiaoxia's calf disability was due to another thing.
I can summarize Liu Zhiyuan's story during this period in just one sentence.
Injured by love, he left for a foreign country.
