Since joining this industry, I believe in cause and effect even more. Everything has a cause and effect. In line with the saying, "One slap can't make a loud noise." In today's world, many people's troubles are probably because they think that one slap can make a loud sound. So I behaved very well during my days in the detention center, because my sentence can be reduced if I behave well. In the future, I must have this kind of moral character in society in order to live a good life. This is also cause and effect.
There is a reason for me to do this. The biggest reason is naturally that I didn’t study well when I was a child. I entered the society early and took the wrong path, and it went further and further away. Otherwise, who would be willing to do this, and who wouldn’t want to be comfortable in it? Ben, find a way to make a living, make a serious living, right?
My name is Zhou Kong. I used to be called Zhou Kun. Later, because computers in the 1990s were a rarity and people’s cultural level was limited at that time, many people either didn’t recognize this word or couldn’t type it, and many people didn’t recognize it. They just called me Fang Fangtu. I had no choice but to go to high school and the college entrance examination would not be in the way. I changed one word, but it suited me for the first half of my life. I was empty, but I was quite happy at that time because I had to write less strokes. Woolen cloth.
The 1990s were different from now. It was 1992. When we were children, we didn’t have computers or mobile phones. The greatest fun was playing outdoor games with a group of friends. There were a few who played well and had a very deep relationship with each other until we grew up. There was a young man in one of my prison cells who was born in 1995. After some exchanges, he lamented that only in that era did we have really good brothers. There is no way that today's society is like this, with reinforced concrete forests, precious only children in every family, intrigues and self-centeredness, so what kind of friendship and brotherhood can there be? It's not as good as what I have, right?
My fourth brother and I have known each other since we were young. His family is rich, invisible rich, the whole village, no. . It should be that the first Santana in the county belonged to his family. At that time, the county magistrate was still riding a 212. So he stopped going to school after graduating from elementary school and spent all day doing nothing.
The society of our time was different from today. The atmosphere was relatively backward. The reason why we say it was backward was that people had indifferent consciousness. It was not a big deal if a child broke his head in a fight. If there was no disability or disfigurement, it would be fine. Wherever I put it, it wouldn’t be a hot search event.
When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I encountered a robber for the first time in my life. This is a common thing in any era. It was on my way out of school. A few street gangsters suddenly called me, "Come here, that idiot." , I’m calling you.” I was stunned and before I could react, I was pushed to the corner by a fat man. The leader was a yellow man, dressed in non-mainstream clothes, who looked quite scary. Not only did he take away my money, he also Tear up my book and beat me up.
When I got home, the book was torn, and Huang Mao told me not to tell anyone. I could only lie and said that I went to play football and didn't look at my schoolbag. The book in the schoolbag was bitten and torn by a dog. My dad gave me such a beating that I ran out of the house and cried in the alley. Just when I was about to have a shadow or obstacle in my heart. As if with a halo, the fourth brother came over and kicked my feet and said, "What's wrong with Kunzi?"
I described to him the whole story in detail. The fourth brother ordered a Guangzhou, threw one to me and said, "I know, you are talking about Liu Lei's idiot. Ha, this grandson has grown up. He dares to It's okay to touch my brother. You can wait for me at the school gate after school tomorrow and I'll help you." The fourth brother has become a well-known unlearned gangster in our village in the past few years. He claims to be the leader of our village. I also He didn’t know what this word meant, but he learned it from watching movies in the video room.
When school was over in the afternoon, I looked at the school gate for a long time but didn't see the shadow of my fourth brother. When I was hesitating, the fat man appeared. He hooked his finger at me and I walked over. As soon as I passed by, Huang Mao raised his hand and said I slapped me, pinched the back of my neck and said, "Little Bi, are you hiding from us?" "Take the money!"
With tears in my eyes, I took out the five yuan I had stolen from my father's pocket. I was only halfway through when Huang Mao snatched it away.
The three of them took turns kicking me. When I was holding my head and being beaten, I suddenly stopped moving. When I looked up, I saw the fourth brother coming, and there were about ten people behind me.
As soon as Huang Mao saw Fourth Brother, he smiled and went over and said, "Fourth Brother, what's the matter? I'm just collecting some ideas." After saying that, he took out a stick of Meden and handed it to Fourth Brother.
Fourth brother is very handsome today. He washed his hair and hasn’t dried it yet. . Wearing a shirt and bell-bottom pants, this is a typical look that imitates Yagami. He sat on the stone pillar and turned to look at Huang Mao and said, "This is my brother. Did you beat him just now? I heard that you also robbed him of money?" Huang Mao lost his smile and squatted in front of his fourth brother and said, "Brother, I I really don’t know, I was wrong, tell me what to do. My fault, brother, he didn’t have Fourth Brother engraved on his forehead, right? Besides, Fourth Brother, you are so naughty, how could I have thought that this baby is your brother. How about I admit my mistake and forget it?"
The fourth brother looked at him lazily, stretched, patted his neck vigorously and said, "You should remember two things for me. The first is how much money you took and how much you paid back. The second is that this is mine." Brother, brother, this is your territory. From now on, let me protect him. If you are still alive and kicking after he gets beaten, I will pick you." You would never expect that the person who said this was a child of 18 or 19 years old.
After saying that, he looked at me and said, "Kun, from now on, no matter whether you are in school or outside, if you come to him if something happens, you can call him Huang Mao. He is the leader of this area." I nodded timidly. At this time, Huang Mao came together. He gave me more than 20 yuan. The fourth brother looked at me and I thought it was about the same. I didn’t dare to offend anyone, so I said it was about the same. Who would have thought that the fourth brother would get it wrong. He looked at Huang Mao’s watch and said, “Take it off. You haven’t even graduated from elementary school. Look at your XX Mao’s watch.”
Huang Mao gave me the watch, and then the fourth brother sent me to the door of my house. This scene happened to be seen by my dad.
But he didn't say anything. When I was about to fall asleep, he seriously told me not to have any contact with those people in the future.
The days went by like this, and I didn't go to high school smoothly. Except for English and Chinese history, I can get into the top ten of my grade without taking classes. I can't pass anything else. I'm not bragging. We all have tricks. I've read "Dream of Red Mansions" in classical Chinese five times, Shi Ji, Zhongyong, and Warring States Period. I have torn through the books on Policy and Zizhi Tongjian. Not to mention history, there are so many books about history at home. I took a breath in English and learned the most popular Crazy English at the time. Don't tell me how bad Li Yang's character is now, but this thing was really useful at the time.
But unfortunately, I didn’t perform well in the college entrance examination. I ended up getting 5 points in the math test. I couldn’t get into the school I applied for. I plan to repeat the year to study math. . There is no way, there are only 5 multiple-choice questions in mathematics, which is too difficult.
But it was this decision that ruined my life. It was the second month after the college entrance examination. My parents had different opinions on my re-study. My dad’s opinion was to join the army. My mother wanted me to find a job. Anyway, no one supported me to re-study. In a word, If you get a 5 in math, it doesn’t matter whether you have brains or rice noodles in your head, so don’t waste time and money. In a fit of anger, I gave up and decided to go out and play for a few months. I will study hard next year and I will piss you all off if I get 15 points in the test. .
The fourth brother’s parents went abroad early. Those who worked in foreign trade in those years made money faster than the money printing machine. His father found a beautiful girl, and her mother also found a young man. The two were not divorced and did not interact with each other. Only the fourth brother It was their son who had forgotten about it, and there was nothing they could do about it. This unlucky child had to go to the police station more times throughout the year just to get into trouble than he did at home. He couldn't take care of it and didn't want to take care of it when he got so old.
The fourth brother has been hanging around outside since he was a child, so he joined the underworld early. He has all kinds of food, drink, prostitution, gambling, and sexually transmitted diseases. If he hadn't been playing with me since he was a kid, and treated me like a brother, I would really hide from him. He hid far away.
Our place is a village in the city, which is a bit chaotic. The fourth brother is here to watch the casino for a gangster boss, who is also a little boss and calls himself the hall master! I have several younger brothers under me. He saw that it was not a big deal for me to hang out in the Internet cafe day after day, so he asked me to work as a second guarantee in the casino.
This second security guard is actually similar to the security guard at the door. but. You have to be able to recognize people, and you have to distinguish all kinds of people who come in. The fourth brother's casino is run by a gangster named Pippen. Pippen's rules are very special.
This casino only allows entry at one time, and you can only bring in a maximum of 100,000 yuan. that is all. If it's too much, I'm sorry, but I won't accompany you. If it's too little, I'm sorry, you can't come in and you're not qualified enough. Therefore, there are few accidents, and because of its good location and strong concealment, it has always been the best place to test your luck. It opens at 22:00 and closes at 5:00 in the morning.
My daily job is very simple. I just wait for the guests to come in and close the rolling shutter door. No matter who you are, the door will not open when anyone comes. I set up a stall at the intersection of the casino to sell some socks and slippers. If I found anything unusual, I would go into the house behind me and press a switch behind the door. When this switch was pressed, the entire casino would ring. Then everyone will run to the basement and leave through the secret passage. My fourth brother pays me 5,000 yuan a month. This was a lot in 2000.
After working for two months, my fourth brother and I learned what the real underworld is.
As for the fourth brother, he felt that there was no profit in the market and the money came slowly, so he decided to play with two accounts. Eat some for yourself. Or even though my parents give me money every month, I still can’t afford to eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke.
Naturally, I have nothing to say. I will support my fourth brother no matter what he does.
The fourth brother broke Pippen's rules. I divided the regular customers into three, six or nine grades, and the admission fee was raised from 100,000 to 300,000. And a few wealthy Malaysians directly mentioned 1 million. The richest one, known as the richest man in the county, has no upper limit.
Pippen's rules actually have their own reasons. When everyone can only bring 100,000, a bet will usually be between 1,000 and 10,000. This way, you can play more hands. If you boil a frog in warm water, everyone will get lucky and your luck will increase. Think about it, even if you win, you won't win much, you don't have to pay any extra money, and you can still maintain the reputation of the casino. Gamblers will become more and more addicted, and will gradually regard this place as a good place for entertainment and recreation. Even if they lose, they will not be ruined. If they can’t raise the 100,000 yuan that comes in, they still have tens of thousands of dollars. , you can survive, right?
Fourth brother doesn't think so. If you have money, you won't be a bastard. Because the fourth brother has a unique skill, he is very skilled in a thousand skills. Even if he takes off his shirt and everyone around him is staring at him carefully, no one can see clearly how he can do it.
It was indeed okay at first. The casino's income soared like a rocket. In more than a month, Fourth Brother's assets almost caught up with those of entrepreneurs in the county.
My task is also more complicated, that is, in addition to watching Lei Zi, I also need to prevent Pippen's informants and himself.
Just like this, everything went smoothly, and I received a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month. I can't stand it either. People just can't be too complacent. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
I remember this day very clearly. It wasn’t August 15th but the moon was very round. I was holding a little girl in my arms at the intersection and was proudly raising and lowering my hands. Suddenly, several people came and held me down. I didn’t even react. But looking at the tattoos on their wrists, I knew they were not Lei Zi. Then three Mitsubishi Pajeros drove over. A fat man got out of the first car, surrounded by his younger brothers. Several people also got out of the following cars. The man who held me down said, "Boss, it's okay. It's still covered inside." "Here we are." When I saw that there were only a dozen or so people across from me, I stopped worrying. The fourth brother has not been idle during this period. He currently has more than a hundred subordinates. These dozen or so people are not enough for us to fill our teeth, and they One important point that has been overlooked is my little sister, who is my deputy. The little sister must have gone to report the news by now.
Pippen made a gesture, and they pushed me to open the rolling shutter door. There were not many people inside. The fourth brother was sitting on the stage looking at Pippen.
The rolling shutter door was closed. Pippen smoked the cigarette handed to him by his younger brother and said, "Fourth brother, I have nothing else to do. Let's take stock of the accounts."
The fourth brother did not move, and waved his hand to direct a younger brother to hand over the account book.
Pippen looked at it and said, "Fourth child, there are family rules in the family, and there are rules in the business. If you are short of money, you can tell me, what are you doing, lying to children?"
The fourth brother stood up, flicked his hands, adjusted his collar and said, "Come on, I won't tell you secret words, don't pull so many vain people, just tell the truth, I did it, and I will do it again, what do you think?" Just think about it. Stop talking nonsense, are you tired?"
Pippin almost burst out laughing and said, "Oh, Fourth Brother, did I hear you right? I haven't improved my skills in a few days. I'm afraid if I agree, but the rules don't agree, you'll cut off one of your hands and you'll lose." Make it up, admit your mistake again, I will consider this situation and let you see it."
The fourth brother laughed even louder, "Pippin, you bastard, you have never regarded me as your brother. Since I dare to do this, I am not afraid of you. Do you think I am still the same person as before?"
After saying that, the rolling shutter door opened. I first saw the proud little girl. Yes, this girl is actually the key. Then more than a hundred people rushed in, all holding machetes and steel pipes.
The fourth brother said proudly, "Oh, I'm so scared. What did you just say? See if you can get out?"
After saying that, the boys surrounded Pippin and his group with a roar.
Pippen was surprisingly calm and sighed and said, "Baby, if you don't leave if I give you a way to live, I will let you sit at a table where people sit. If you want to jump into a shit pit yourself, who is to blame?"
After talking about the little brother behind him, I have met that little brother. We all call him Brother Tiger. It is said that he is still carrying people's lives. Brother Hu took out a 56 and a half from his bag and fired one shot at the roof. Another boy I had never seen took out a similar gun but it could fire continuously and pointed it at the heads of the boys. The roof of the house was like a strafing fire, and there was a burst of fire. The young men who were so majestic just now suddenly dispersed in a rush. The creaking broken rolling shutter door opened faster than the new one, and everyone ran out in a matter of minutes.
Only my fourth brother, me, and a few younger brothers who didn't run away were left shivering.
The fourth brother was pinned down on the gaming table by Brother Hu, "Boss, let's chop off the hand first, and then make three cuts and six holes." Brother Hu roared excitedly, and the other brother took out a pistol and said, "Why are you doing that? Just do it." "
Pippen lit up his cigarette and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
The fourth brother's eyes rolled, and then he said, "I have to pay you back the money. If I pay more, you give me 10 days and keep it. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss. Don't have trouble with the money, Brother Pippen."
"Okay, chop off your hand first." Brother Hu picked up a watermelon knife on the ground and started to do it with a smile.
"Stop!! Stop!! Dear dad, how can I pay you back if I don't have my hands? I have to rely on my hands to pay you back. You all know that my skills are all in my hands." The fourth brother burst into tears.
"Okay, I'll give you 5 days and 3 million. It's a lot. Otherwise, you know, you won't be able to escape from M County." "A gunshot just fired. Pick up the shells and withdraw."
After Pippen finished speaking, a group of people left with a clatter. My fourth brother and I ran all the way to where he liked him.
