Monsoon

"At the beginning of March, the monsoon from the Pacific Ocean came quietly. In July, the rain it brought slowly swept across the whole city. It began to retreat in September and completely disappeared in October. It came slowly, without rush, When I came back to my senses, the tide was already on the beach, how warm and exciting it was, just like our love."

—— Ji Chi

People here say: Beizhen is beautiful, serene, kissed by the sun, blessed by the sea god, few outsiders, this is a forgotten land.

They have lived by the sea for generations and lived by the sea. Almost every household has a boat. When it is time to go to sea, the men go together, and the women stay at home to take care of them. Exchange money in the town.

Everyone knows that the old man of the Fang family is an expert at making crab sauce. He only needs a small spoonful of crab sauce, put it in a large pot, and the soup will be fragrant for miles.But he doesn't sell the recipe, he just helps people make crab sauce. The people in the town ship their own jars to Fang's house, and they will ship the jars back at the end of the month, and they will pay for it when they are satisfied with the food.

Old man Fang did not do this when he was young. He was a diver. The industry stipulated that he was not allowed to go to the sea at the age of 45. He used his savings to buy a boat and started fishing. Later, he passed the boat to his son. , he made the crab sauce himself.

Old man Fang's grandson was studying in the town and would only go home on weekends, so he was mostly alone in the house. He occasionally felt lonely when making crab sauce. He just glanced at the corner where the boat was left behind. It had disappeared into the In the sea, never came back.

"Tank, go buy me a pack of cigarettes, 'Daqianmen'." Fang Tang stared at the game on the screen, kicked the tank next to him, "Tell the boss to charge it to my account."

Tank immediately got up and went. Fang Tang’s eyes never left the screen. The Internet cafe’s light was not good. A light was broken a few days ago, and only the top one was barely lit. There were empty potato chips on the table in front of him. Bags, debris scattered all over the table, the unfinished lunch box next to it stinks, the vegetable leaves float on the oil at the bottom of the lunch box to reflect light, and there are more than a dozen cigarette butts he threw in the box, almost all of which are burnt to the end Yes, all over the place is also stained with oil.

Tan Tan came back with the cigarette and handed it to Fang Tang.

Fang Tang took it, unpacked it skillfully, took out a cigarette, and put the cigarette in his mouth. The tank approached him and lit it for him. After lighting it, he took a sharp puff.

"Brother Fang, you haven't been back to school for two weeks, why don't you go back and have a look?" Tank asked.

"It's been two weeks?" Fang Tang seems to have realized it, but then turned to the computer, "If you don't go back, that woman is very annoying, she keeps calling me to hand in homework, and I don't know how to get the pen, so I give her homework ?”

Speaking of this, Fang Tang became even more angry. The young teacher who just graduated didn't seem to know what Fang Tang was. She thought she was some kind of character and wanted to be a messenger of justice to save them, but mud is mud, barely Paste on the wall or mud.

"Fuck, bad luck, stop playing." Fang Tang took off his earphones after playing for a while, and kicked the chair next to him, "Tank, keep playing, I'm leaving."

Tank raised his head: "Brother Fang, where are you going?"

"Walk around casually." Fang Tang walked to the door to pay at the bar without looking back.

"Brother Fang."

Just a few steps away, someone in the distance waved to him. The man had red hair, a cigarette in his mouth, and a girl in a navel-baring dress.

"Brother Fang." As he approached, the man called out again.

"Oh, Hello."

"This is my girlfriend." He teased the girl, "Brother Fang."

"Brother Fang."

"Yeah." Fang Tang nodded.

It was only when they were far away that Fang Tang remembered that the red-haired man was called A Fei, and he worked under Jiang Xu.Fang Tang had to contact too many people, and it was normal that he couldn't remember clearly.He walked a few steps on the street, and another long hair with bangs covering half of his eyes greeted him. He walked on the road like a leader patrolling.

Fang Tang is the "boss" of the West District, he is the one who is in name only, and he only manages the punks and social youths.He used money to help others get ahead. He never asked the reason for his personal grievances, and settled them that night. Once he left the West District, he didn't care about it and returned the employer's remuneration.

Some of his people are developing galleries in the town, some are working in restaurants, and some are idle. They are distributed throughout the West District, and sometimes they help the police solve cases as witnesses, because their power cannot be underestimated, and even large cases need to With their help, the police simply turned a blind eye to allow this organization to exist, acquiescing to Fang Tang's management of the West District.

Fang Tang made a rule a few years ago that there are three types of people not to be messed with, policemen, officials and rich people, which can avoid unnecessary troubles.You can't break the law, and you can't take the initiative to make trouble, or break his legs.

The people below are spreading rumors that their Boss Fang took this seat because he got the last boss from the West District into the game, but no one cares about the truth, just follow the people who took over the job from Fang Tang, that Fang Tang Tang is ruthless, quick to do things, and merciless in his strikes. Generally, as long as he goes out in person, the other party will disappear from the town the next day.

People in the West District all serve Fangtang. The young people in the town know that, opposite to the West District, there is an East District. They are very different from the West District. The members of the organization are all in the dark, including their boss. No one knows their identity. Who is the boss, male or female, and what does he do.But he does exist, because the police have special liaison officers who maintain close contact with the bosses in the east and west districts.

He hadn't picked up work for the past few days and was in a bad mood, so Fang Tang dragged the tank to the Internet cafe and squatted for a few days, and when he came out now, he was a little dizzy.

The phone rang suddenly, and Fang Tang fumbled for a long time before taking out his rotten phone.

"Hey?"

"Brother Fang." The person on the phone spoke.

"Oh, Photon."

"Brother Fang, we have a big business, where are you? I have to have an interview with you."

"I'm in Ning Lane."

"Okay, I'll be right over." The other side hastily hung up the phone.

Standing by the side of the street, Fang Tang lit a cigarette, and accidentally choked on it a few times, so he snuffed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

Photon came running from a distance, panting.

"What's wrong?" Fang Tang asked after Guangzi straightened out his breathing.

"New target, No. [-] middle school in the East District, Ji Chi."

"No." Fang Tang immediately refused as soon as he heard it, "Take care of yourself and don't meddle in things you shouldn't meddle in."

"Boss, the employer said that Ji Chi will come to the West District this weekend." Photon continued, "This is the salary." He made a gesture, and Fang Tang frowned.

"The employer has made a request that you do it yourself. It seems that you are not easy to mess with."

Fang Tang pondered for a while: "You go back first, I'll think about it."

Fang Tang had to think about it. With such a high salary, he might not be an easy person. He didn't want to have anything to do with people from the East District in order to receive a big order.

Fang Tang dialed the phone.

"Jiang Xu, go and check on the East District No. [-] Middle School, this person Ji Chi." Fang Tang said in a deep voice, "I want more details."

After hanging up the phone, he still planned to go back to school first.

He studied auto repair at the technical school in the town, but his grades in the senior high school entrance examination did not allow him to enter high school. When his grandfather sent him here, he packed the family savings in paper and gave it to the principal. A bottle of crab sauce, the principal pulled grandpa aside, Fang Tang heard the principal boasting about the famous crab sauce, saying that he would like to eat it in the future.

A fool can also understand what the principal's wretched smile means, but grandpa still nods, and in October, he will give it to him when the male crabs are yellow.

Fang Tang completely hated this place before entering school.But grandpa's eyes are getting worse and worse. He has to stay in school, take the exam normally, change the score and take it home. Grandpa always can't see what's wrong. A large bag of clams and scallops made soup for him.Fang Tang vomited, but he still finished the soup.He told his grandfather that the tuition fee only needs to be paid for one year, and the school behind will provide subsidies, and the price of goods is also very low, so it doesn't cost much at all.Grandpa believed it, he said a small amount, and grandpa paid him living expenses according to it.

In fact, that was not enough at all. When he was sitting in a small restaurant with unsanitary conditions and scooping up a few grains of rice in the soup, he hated Beizhen and everything here, and these became a burden that trapped him. He said to himself , in the future, you must leave here.

He asked the girl in the class to help him write his homework and hand it over to the young teacher, and he slept on the bed in the dormitory for a few nights.

He leaned against the balcony railing to smoke, and Jiang Xu called him.

"Brother Fang, Ji Chi moved to Beizhen last year. His parents are in the seafood business in the East District. They are the first seafood export company in Beizhen, and they have slowly gained a foothold."

Fang Tang took a puff of cigarette: "Oh, rich second generation?"

"It doesn't count, but the family situation is not bad."

"The order has been accepted. When he comes to the West District on the weekend, let Haozi and his group 'entertain' him first."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Tang put out the cigarette and quietly looked at the moon above his head. After finishing the order, he might be able to get some money from the house.

On Saturday, he called his grandfather and said that there was something to do at school and he would not return.After hanging up the phone, Tan Tan found him. He said that he had seen Ji Chi on Zhongxin Street, which was the same as the photo given by his employer.

When Fang Tang and Tan Tan arrived at Zhongxin Street, they didn't see a group of people in the shop. They searched around, but there was nothing there either.

"Hello? Number." Fang Tang called immediately, and as soon as the other side connected, Fang Tang reprimanded him, "Where the fuck have you been?"

"Fang—Brother Fang, it's too bad. Our brothers were all injured. I finally ran out. I just wanted to call you to talk about this."

"How many people?" Fang Tang asked.

"Ji Chi is one, let's lure that kid to Heping Lane, and then we won't be able to beat him."

"Tao, I'll come right over, are they still there?

"Yes, He Li, they are all there to hold him back."

"Tank, you go back first."

"Boss, can you do it alone?"

"Too much bullshit, go back quickly."

Fang Tang didn't say anything more, and immediately ran to Heping Lane.

There were not many people in Heping Lane, and Ji Chi could deceive others by choosing there. It seemed that he not only had excellent physical fitness, but also had a high force value, and his mind was also good.

Fang Tang was really startled by the scene in front of him, Haozi and his brothers fell to the ground, in constant pain.

The culprit sat on the stacked cardboard boxes in the alley, crossed his legs, hummed a little song, and kept flicking a wooden stick in his hand.

"Brother Fang." Hao Zi got up from the ground when he saw Fang Tang coming.

"Ji Chi?" Fang Tang asked sternly.

"correct."

Ji Chi looked at Fang Tang with a playful smile, and Fang Tang looked at him carefully, with a white shirt and a schoolbag on his left shoulder. He looked like a frail scholar, smiling all the time, but the sweat on his forehead could prove that he had just fought with a group of people.

"House, take your brother back, ask Jiang Xu for money, and go to the hospital for a checkup."

As soon as Haozi got the order, he dragged the few on the ground and left together.

"Have you seen enough?" Ji Chi kept laughing, "I thought he was a rough guy, but I didn't expect him to be a beauty."

"Trough." Fang Tang was irritated by Ji Chi's indifferent attitude, and he wanted to make a quick decision.

Fang Tang picked up a wooden stick casually, and took a few steps forward: "We are also doing things for others, I'm sorry."

As he said that, he hit Ji Chi, and Ji Chi dodged, stood up from the cardboard box with his hands, and looked at Fang Tang with a smile.

While Ji Chi wasn't paying attention, the stick fell forward again. Ji Chi raised his hand and blocked it perfectly with the stick in his hand.

Fang Tang slammed into Ji Chi's leg again, and Ji Chi raised his leg suddenly, kicking the stick in Fang Tang's hand away with a forward kick.

"For fairness." Ji Chi said, throwing away the weapon in his hand.

Fang Tang grabbed Ji Chi's wrist forward, and was about to punch Ji Chi in the face with his right hand.

With a backhand, Ji Chi grabbed Fang Tang's wrist and threw him heavily to the ground. Then he put his knee against Fang Tang's lower abdomen, and locked Fang Tang's hand firmly: "Beauty, don't hit someone in the face!" Ah." Then he pinched Fang Tang's face, "It's very easy to touch."

"Grass your mother!" Fang Tang raised his leg to attack Ji Chi's lower body, and when Ji Chi dodged, Fang Tang took the opportunity to stand up.

Ji Chi smiled happily, "It turned out to be a bad temper, it would be cute to change the habit of swearing."

Fang Tang stood where he was, and the expression of the man opposite him never changed, as if he could only laugh, Fang Tang gritted his teeth, and must take him down today.

"You hit me."

Fang Tang looked at Ji Chi in surprise.

"Hit me, and then go to the business." Ji Chi looked indifferent, patted the dust off his body, picked up a stick from the ground, walked a few steps to Fang Tang and handed it to him.

"Easy." Ji Chi smiled at Mimi, then closed his eyes and waited for Fang Tang.

Fang Tang was sweating profusely, clutching the stick tightly, looking at the extremely relaxed face in front of him.After a long time, Fang Tang suddenly exerted strength and threw the stick to the corner of the wall, and the stick was bounced several meters away.

Ji Chi opened his eyes to look at Fang Tang.

"Let's go." Fang Tang said lightly, then turned and walked out of the alley.

"Beauty, let me go, I won't let you lose money." A voice behind him called out to him.

fuck it.
