Return To 1998

Xi Dongyang, nicknamed Skinny Tiger, has this nickname because he is thin, and because he has a tiger head tattooed on his neck, and he is also ruthless in fights.

But the tiger head on his neck is usually invisible. Only when his mood fluctuates greatly or after drinking alcohol, the tiger head tattoo will appear.

These are what Xu Tonglin told Xu Tongdao after inquiring today.

Xu Tongdao doesn't know much about tattoos, but according to Xu Tonglin's description, he estimates that Xi Dongyang's tattoos should be made of pigeon blood.

The guts are so fat! Dare to tattoo with pigeon blood?

As far as he knew, pigeon blood tattoos were dangerous and troublesome if they got infected.

In addition, Xu Tonglin also found out that Xi Dongyang's sister's name is Xi Xiaoqian, and... Three years ago, Xi Dongyang's parents were in a car accident at the same time, and both of them died. The burden of family life fell on Xi Dongyang's shoulders at once. superior.

It was also from that time that Xi Dongyang changed his ways and stopped messing around. He set up this barbecue stall here.

The usual business is okay, and every night, his sister Xi Xiaoqian also comes to help.

It stands to reason that with the income of the barbecue stall in Xi Dongyang, their family's life should be able to live well, but the fact is not.

Because there are elderly grandfathers and grandmothers on Xi Dongyang, especially his grandfather. Because of his old age, although he has no major problems, he has a lot of small problems. He has to go to the hospital every three or five years. Just a medicine jar.

I have to spend a lot of medical bills every month.

Most of the money Xi Dongyang earns from setting up a stall goes to the old man to see a doctor.

All of the above are what Xu Tonglin inquired about today and told Xu Tongdao.

After listening to this, Xu Tongdao had a bottom line in his heart.

In his opinion, Xi Dongyang, who has such a heavy burden on his shoulders, even if it is a real tiger, is a tiger with a shackle on his neck, so he should not be afraid.

He could understand why Xi Dongyang would rather spend a lot of medical bills every month to save his grandfather's life.

Filial piety should be on the one hand, on the other hand... It should be because his parents have died, and the only relatives left are his grandfather, grandma and sister.

Xi Dongyang should be very afraid of losing any of his family members.

...

While walking to Xi Dongyang's booth, Tongdao Xu ran various thoughts in his mind.

Soon, he came to Xi Dongyang.

Xu Tonglin hesitated, but also followed, standing not far behind Xu Tongdao.

Not far away, the bald-headed Zhang and Fatty Lu were also watching curiously and suspiciously.

Xi Xiaoqian thought for a while, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, and came over with a worried look.

Xi Dongyang turned his face, looked at Tongdao Xu with indifferent eyes, then looked back at the last few guests at his booth, frowned slightly, and suddenly put the skewers in his hand on the tray aside, As he lowered his head and took out a cigarette and lighter from his trouser pocket, he asked coldly, What do you want to say? Tell me! I'm listening!

When Xu Tongdao saw him take out a cigarette, he thought he was going to hit one for himself, but...

But seeing that Xi Dongyang didn't mean to give him one at all, he took one, lit it, and stuffed the cigarette and lighter back into his trouser pocket.

Xu Tongdao: ...

Is there such a thing as a human being?

Although, even if Xi Dongyang gave him a cigarette, he would not take it, but whether he took it or not was one thing, if Xi Dongyang didn't hand him one, it was another.

This at least shows that Xi Dongyang didn't take his Xu Tongdao seriously, or... he didn't plan to give him face at all.

Thinking of this, Tongdao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Xi Dongyang's indifferent face, and then swept the skewers that Xi Dongyang had just put on the tray. Tongdao Xu suddenly Ask: Do you dare to kill me?

Xi Dongyang grabbed the cigarette beside his mouth and looked up at Xu Tongdao's eyes.

Four eyes met, Xu Tongdao sneered and looked at him.

Xi Dongyang gritted his teeth secretly, frowned, and his voice sank, What do you mean?

Tongdao Xu smiled, suddenly walked to the oven, bent down and spread out his hands, grabbed a bottle of beer, wiped the bottle cap on the edge of the table, and wiped off the bottle cap, under Xi Dongyang's slightly angry gaze, Tongdao Xu took a sip of beer and squinted at Xi Dongyang again.

You dare not kill me. If you want to force me to move out of this area, it is absolutely impossible! You want to earn money to support your family, and I also want to earn money to support your family! I'm not afraid to tell you that you have no way out, and I, Tongdao Xu, have no way out! So, whoever affects me earning money, I will fight him to the death!

Xu Tongdao's hostility is very heavy.

Before his rebirth, more than 20 years of hard life, the ups and downs of life, and the broken family, all kept accumulating hostility in his heart.

Therefore, when he said these words to the end, the fierceness in his eyes was clearly visible.

At that moment, Xi Dongyang, who was staring at him, had his pupils shrunk, and Xi Xiaoqian, who was standing not far away, suddenly turned pale, and the worry in his eyes became more intense.

Even the Lu Fatty couple and the bald Zhang, who were a little further away, changed their expressions slightly.

There is a feeling of underestimating this kid before.

This kid who has not shaved his mouth has such a ruthless side?

Xi Dongyang's face was sullen, and he lowered his head and blew a cigarette again. When the smoke was exhaled, he raised his head again, staring at Tongdao Xu with indifferent eyes, his chin was slightly raised, and his voice was slightly raised, What are you trying to say?

Tongdao Xu laughed, raised his hand and took another sip of beer.

After drinking, he threw the remaining half of the bottle of beer on the small table beside Xi Dongyang, It's very simple! I'll give you two choices now, or, after we've all finished playing, you kill me, and then you go. Stay in jail, or go straight to eat guns. As for your sister...and your grandfather and grandmother, then you don't care! Or, let's work together to do this barbecue business together, and let's make money together. Do you think about it?

As soon as these two choices were presented, the expressions of everyone on the scene changed.

When Xu Tongdao said the first choice, Xi Dongyang broke the cigarette in his hand, his face was flushed, and the tiger head tattoo on his neck faintly appeared.

On the other hand, his sister Xi Xiaoqian turned pale and opened her mouth to speak.

In contrast, Fatty Lu and his bald-headed Zhang had bright eyes and slightly raised corners of his mouth.

Xu Tonglin frowned and looked at Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang worriedly.

However, when Xu Tongdao said the second choice, Xi Dongyang's expression was slightly stunned, Xi Xiaoqian was surprised, and Fatty Lu and his bald Zhang had their smiles frozen on their faces, and their faces suddenly became ugly.

To them, Xi Dongyang was not something they dared to provoke. Tongdao Xu's barbecue skills were much better than theirs, and his performance in the recent period of time... It doesn't seem to be too easy to provoke.

If these two guys who are not easy to mess with suddenly partner to sell barbecue, then the barbecue business on this street... will the two of them make money?

As for Xu Tonglin?

When he heard the second choice given by Xu Tongdao, his expression was also surprised, his eyes rolled around, and he was already thinking about the pros and cons of selling barbecues if they really partnered with Xi Dongyang.
