Xuanyang is a remote and small county with mixed fish and dragons, and there are always many unemployed and idle people walking on the streets.

Most of these people are in groups of three or four, dressed in “fashionable” styles, with a cigarette in their mouths, and whistling when they see beautiful girls. Go to KTV.

Bai Yi has never met such a person. He was born in a first-tier city. He was always the class monitor when he was a student. After graduation, he started his own business.

Now he was staying in the billiards hall, almost breathless from the second-hand smoke. The billiards players spat without scruple while swearing, and threw cigarette butts everywhere.

Chen Junxiang got along like a fish in water among these people, he could say a few words to anyone, and called him brother by shoulder, sometimes he would pass cigarettes to others, and sometimes others would also pass them to him.

It was Zhang Li, who was sitting on a chair beside him, only occasionally raising his head to look around.

When Chen Junxiang had finished greeting him, he leaned over to Bai Yi's side, rubbed another Zhonghua, and smiled like a monkey.

"Hey, where are you from?" Chen Junxiang pinned the cigarette to his ear and squatted on the steps next to Bai Yi.

There was no dislike for this environment on Bai Yi's face, and he said with a smile: "Coastal areas."

Chen Junxiang: "No wonder you smoke Zhonghua. I heard that people along the coast are rich, so what are you doing in Xuanyang?"

Bai Yi handed Chen Junxiang a cigarette, this time he pinned it to the other ear: "Come find someone."

"It's a little hard to find, so I have to find a job, and I can't just sit and eat."

Chen Junxiang: "Then how did you meet Brother Li? I'm not saying that Brother Li is not good, but Brother Li's temper can help you ask Brother Huo. If you are a woman, I doubt that he wants to date you."

Boyi didn't have the habit of smoking in public, so he took out a mint candy, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, which made him feel better: "Neighbor."

"That's great, you can go to and from get off work together." Chen Junxiang seemed quite envious, "The street light in the house I rented was broken, and it was very dark. I always feel flustered when I go home alone."

Chen Junxiang babbled a lot, and by the way sold a lot of Zhang Li's bottom line.

In his mouth, Zhang Li is an admirable person, because Zhang Li can fight, is powerful, and keeps few words. As for other aspects, it is not important. For them, being able to fight is enough.

No one cares why Zhang Li can fight, and no one cares what he has experienced.

People who enter the society prematurely, their values ​​are seriously affected by the surrounding environment, they expect to be able to make a name for themselves like "Brother Huo" or other brothers, and become respected and successful people, and they also gather a group of people under their command. Little brother, show off your power all day long.

As for those who work hard, they are actually "waste" in their eyes.

Chen Junxiang changed the subject: "Your outfit is too rustic. Let me tell you, if this kind of hip-hop pants is popular now, the side of the underwear must be exposed, and the clothes must have holes."

Boyi didn't expect that he might have to sacrifice his own aesthetics to do a task. After a long silence, he said, "Now the way of dressing you mentioned is not popular on the coast."

Chen Junxiang was taken aback for a moment, and the outdated person instantly turned into him.

At noon, Chen Junxiang was going to eat. There was a box lunch vendor on the street next door. Two meat dishes and one vegetarian meal cost only three yuan. Although there might not even be two pieces of meat in it, because it was cheap, the workers nearby loved it. Have dinner there.

"I'll go." Bai Yi said to Chen Junxiang.

Chen Junxiang didn't argue, after all, he could save as much as he could, and he would be a fool if he didn't take advantage of it. Besides, it was only a few dollars, and he couldn't afford to pay back the favor: "Watch him fight! Let him give me a few more dollars." Meat!"

Of course, Bai Yi wouldn't go to pack lunch, it's not that he can't eat it, it's just that it doesn't have much meat and it's not clean enough.

If it wasn't for the conditions of the rented house, Bai Yi would have liked to cook by himself.

After Bai Yi left, the "guests" with various hair colors came to Chen Junxiang's side: "Who is that guy? New here? He looks like he's going to be on TV."

Chen Junxiang waved his hand: "Brother Li is a neighbor."

The guests were surprised: "Brother Li still talks to neighbors?"

Chen Junxiang: "Bullshit, our Brother Li has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, what's wrong with seeing people being pitiful?"

The guests had horrible expressions on their faces.

Chen Junxiang: "Brother Li! Your neighbor has gone shopping!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Zhang Li was looking at this side, and the crowd dispersed in a rush. They either continued to play billiards or found a place to eat.

They don't have much money, after all, they don't have a serious job. When they need them, they can earn tens of hundreds, and when they don't need them, they just sit and eat. At the table, several people need to chip in to play.

Bai Yi found a relatively clean place to eat, and packed three dishes and one soup.

The boss is a kind person, the price is not expensive, but the portion is very generous, and Bai Yi realized that he ordered too much when he got the food.

This portion is enough for five people.

"So many!" Chen Junxiang trotted over to pick up the plastic bag, swallowed, "I haven't eaten fried rice for a long time."

He squandered his salary as soon as he was paid, and now he is living with his belt tightened.

The foldable tables and chairs used for eating are very old and covered with scratches and old dirt. Chen Junxiang was carrying the bag and was about to put the lunch box on it. Bai Yi found a few newspapers and spread them on the table.

Chen Junxiang: "You are really particular."

This is a bit ironic.

Ke Baiyi smiled as if he didn't hear the ridicule: "It's a good thing to be careful."

After all, the cannibal has a short mouth, so Chen Junxiang yelled at Zhang Li: "Brother Li, it's time to eat! Let's have a big meal at noon today!"

Zhang Li walked over. He was growing his body, his muscles had already taken shape, his lines were smooth, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, and he could see a good figure in adulthood, but now he looked a little thin, and he couldn't see his strength at all. How explosive it is.

"How much?" Zhang Li turned his head and asked Bai Yi.

Bai Yi smiled and said, "It's not expensive, I'll tell you when I get back."

Zhang Li nodded and didn't ask any more.

After all, he was young, and Bai Yi found that Zhang Li's chopsticks only picked up meat. He ate very quickly, but he didn't like to chatter like Chen Junxiang, and he was silent even when eating.

Chen Junxiang ate for a while, and seeing Bai Yi eating slowly, the word "elegant" popped up in his mind for some reason, which reminded him of the Taiwanese idol drama that he watched with his girlfriend before, the male protagonist ate like this, At that time, he also laughed at the actor who ate like a woman, and was scolded by his girlfriend.

It was already night when that "Brother Huo" came. It was just dark, and the billiard hall was the most crowded time. Mosquitoes were flying around the chandelier. Apart from the sound of billiard balls being hit, there was the sound of mosquitoes being slapped one after another.

"Brother Huo." Chen Junxiang ran over like a dog, smiling obsequiously, flattering one after another.

Brother Huo is a middle-aged man, wearing black short sleeves with a golden dragon on it, a finger-thick gold chain around his neck, a mobile phone pinned to his waist, and gold rings on all ten fingers. Rich" was vividly displayed, but he had a simple and honest face, and he looked like an honest man regardless of his appearance.

Zhang Li also walked over. His attitude was different from Chen Junxiang's. He stood beside Brother Huo, still expressionless.

Bai Yi was watching not far away, Zhang Li was talking to Huo Ge, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, Huo Ge's eyes swept towards Bai Yi.

With scrutiny in his eyes, Brother Huo also opened his mouth to say a few words.

It only took a few minutes for the two to communicate. Just when Bai Yi thought that Brother Huo would come to talk to him, he had already patted Zhang Li and Chen Junxiang on the shoulders, turned his head and walked away with a smile on his face. up.

Bai Yi understood.

Whether he has the job depends not on his ability, but on Zhang Li's face in front of Brother Huo.

It is completely different from the enterprise, what pays attention to is the human relationship.

Sure enough, Chen Junxiang excitedly told Bai Yi the good news.

"Brother Huo said, you will settle the accounts in the future, and I will pay you two hundred a month, just like me."

"Don't think too little, the billiard hall outside is only more than 100 a month, we Huo Ge are generous."

Probably because of smoking a few cigarettes of Bai Yi, Chen Junxiang acted like a good brother that Bai Yi had known for many years.

Maybe that's how he survived.

Bai Yi walked up to Zhang Li. Zhang Li was different from Chen Junxiang. Chen Junxiang was in charge of collecting money, clearing the stage, cleaning and closing the door every night, but Zhang Li didn't have to do any of these things. He only had to deal with the troubles.

Although the county is small, there are a lot of victories in it, especially among the "big brothers".

The business of the "big brothers" is also very unified, nothing more than opening billiard halls, game halls, ice rinks, and KTV.

As for those who have access to the construction site, they have basically left the scope of the "big brother" and turned into businessmen.

"I've troubled you." Bai Yi handed Zhang Li a cigarette.

Zhang Li didn't answer, he glanced at Bai Yi, his eyes were still wary: "I don't smoke, I have paid off what I owe you."

Bai Yi withdrew his cigarette: "It's a good thing not to smoke."

Zhang Li didn't speak, and went to turn on the faucet next to him in silence.

He buried his head, and cold water poured on his head, wet his hair and cheeks, the water fell down the ends of his hair, some water droplets sank into his clothes, and wet his collar.

Zhang Li raised his head, and after his hair was all wet, his face appeared in front of Bai Yi without hindrance.

Bai Yi felt that this sharp-edged face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

It may be that good-looking faces always have similarities, and it is not surprising that they look familiar.

Zhang Li lifted up the hem of his short sleeves, and naturally wiped the water droplets on his face. Boyi could see the firm and tough muscles of his abdomen, as well as many scars that could not be erased.

After the wound has healed, the color contrasts sharply with the skin tone.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Li frowned.

Bai Yi: "There are many scars."

Zhang Li didn't respond: "Yes."

Bai Yi asked again: "Do you still remember how you got hurt?"

Just when Bai Yi thought that Zhang Li would keep silent, Zhang Li said, "Forgot."

"Nothing worth remembering."

It's not a memory worth remembering, it's better to forget it.
