When everyone congratulated Zhou Shuhan on his promotion to vice president, Chu Yang walked out of the hall alone. Looking at the endless flow of vehicles on the road in front of his door, he suddenly missed his hard life in the past few years. For a moment, I didn't know what kind of life I was pursuing. I even began to doubt whether life would be so full of secular helplessness even in the Qin Dynasty.

Light a cigarette, Chu Yang walked down the steps of the hall, slowly attached to the sidewalk, aimless to the East. I don't know how far I've gone, but the mobile phone in my pocket rings.

So far, only Zhou Shuhan knows Chu Yang's mobile phone number. But he didn't pay attention to it, just let it ring tirelessly for a while, and still walked slowly until he turned into an alley and saw a small restaurant with the sign of "Liu Ji fried noodles". Just walked in.

"Big brother, do you want noodles?" After seeing Chu Yang come in, a little girl as big as Xiao Fengsao immediately climbed down from a chair in front of the dining table and ran to him. Raised his head, a pair of eyes like black grapes looking at him.

"Ah, eat noodles," the little girl is more polite than the little coquettish. Seeing the little girl's smiling face, Chu Yang was worried about gain and loss just now, and he soon got better. He touched the soft hair of the little girl with his hand: "how. Isn't it time to go to school yet? "

"It's summer vacation now, otherwise I would not come to the city to help my parents sell noodles." Chuyang is very comfortable with chuyang's strong southern Hebei dialect, which is much better than Chai Murong's and Zhou Shuhan's Putonghua: "big brother, we have big bowls of fried noodles, which are five yuan a bowl, and small bowls, which are three yuan a bowl. We have to charge another yuan for adding chicken eggs. I don't know whether you want big bowls or small bowls?"

"Ha ha, I forgot that it's summer vacation now. Well, let's have a big bowl of fried noodles and two eggs." Chuyang smiles and goes to a table by the window to sit down.

Little time, little girl carrying a bowl of fried noodles with two eggs came from behind, put it on the table for Chu Yang, rubbed the red hands, and then sat opposite him with a smile.

Chu Yang picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up the noodles to blow a breath, casually asked: "now it's just a place to eat, why don't you have a few people here to eat?"

The little girl who has been staring at Chu Yang's job and swallowing saliva heard this sentence, her smile disappeared, and she said in a low voice: "in the past, many people came to eat here, but since my parents couldn't pay the protection fee last month, the guests who often came to take care of our business were threatened by some villains and didn't dare to come back. So now we can only receive you who come here for the first time. You are the fourth one to eat noodles today. "

"Oh?" Chu Yang put down his chopsticks and said in surprise, "even in your small restaurant, some people come to collect protection fees?"

"Yes," the little girl stared at the bowl in front of Chu Yang and nodded, "we are countrymen. If we want to come to the city to earn money, we have to give people protection money. But those people want too much. My parents can't afford it. "

Oh, because you are from the countryside. If you come to the city to earn money, you have to pay the protection fee. Who the hell set the rules? To the explanation of little girl, Chu Yang is very speechless. Just see that she is always staring at his face, so said: "girl, go to a big bowl of noodles, to put three eggs."

"OK, this is the fifth bowl of noodles we sold today!" The little girl agreed, quickly jumped out of the chair and ran into the back.

When Chu Yang snored and ate the bowl of noodles, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out with a bowl of noodles. She followed the little girl.

"Mom, that's what the big brother wants." Little girl points to Chu Yang.

In fact, there's no need for the little girl to explain that the woman should know that Chu Yang wanted this face, because he was the only guest in it.

"Moon, mother knows." Middle aged women to chuyang honest smile, very carefully put the face on the table: "brother, this is the face you want, two bowls of noodles and five eggs, a total of 15 yuan."

"Oh." Chu Yang agrees and reaches for the money. When he took the money, he thought of giving more. But he also knew that if he did that, he would trample on the dignity of the people in his hometown. In particular, he would give the little girl the illusion of being given away. So he took out the right money and gave it to the middle-aged woman.

"Slow down. Ha ha. " The middle-aged woman put away her money and politely laughed, then turned and walked into the back.

"Your name is Yueer?" When the middle-aged woman came into the back, Chu Yang asked the little girl.

"Yes, my name is yue'er, Liu yue'er. I'm eight years old. I'm in the first grade Liu yue'er stares at the face on the table. When she wipes the corner of her mouth, she sees Chu Yang looking at her. She turns her head to go.

"Moon, don't go. Come and sit down. Big brother will treat you to noodles Liu yue'er just stared at the drooling appearance of fried noodles. Chu Yang knew that she might be greedy for the noodles with eggs, so she ordered a bowl for her. Besides, I'm afraid it will hurt her self-esteem. After the middle-aged woman left, she pushed the noodles in front of her and said, "but big brother is not asking you to eat noodles for nothing. You have to do me a favor after eating."

"What can I do for you?" Liu yue'er looked at Chu Yang with alert eyes: "if I take you to a place you designated, I won't go, my father said. Now many people in the city use this method to abduct and sell children. "

It can't be true? Do I look like a trafficker? I'm just asking you to buy me a pack of cigarettes and treat you to dinner. Chu Yanggang wants to take out his most amiable smile to explain, but finds that Liu Yueer looks out the door with panic in her eyes.

Chu Yang looked back and saw that two young men, who were wearing clothes, were walking into the door.

The young man with red hair who came in first looked at Chu Yang, then sat down on the chair near the door, cocked up his legs and said to Liu yue'er, "little girl. What about your father? "

"He, he's in the back and face?" Liu yue'er seems very afraid of these two people. She stammers and leans against the table.

"Go, little girl, call out your old man." Then the yellow hair who came in leaned against the door with his arm in his arms: "let him take out the protection fee of this month by the way."

"Oh, oh." Liu yue'er hastily agreed. Just climbed down the chair, saw the screen door of the back door opened, a thin middle-aged man came out. When he saw the two young people, he immediately showed a smile that was not much better than crying and said in a low voice: "brother parrot. Brother peach, you're here. Do you want noodles? "

"Eat a chicken noodle. If I eat, I'll use it for you?" That yellow hair parrot elder brother a stare: "Liu elder brother, you don't pretend with elder brother garlic, last month's protection fee should pay?"

"I'm sorry, brother parrot. I, I really don't have any money now. I really can't get 500 yuan. Eggs for fried noodles. Or from somewhere else. The more you control my guests, the less I can afford to pay you for protection. " Boss Liu bowed in fear and begged: "brother parrot, you can do me a favor and give my brother a bowl of rice to eat..."

"Grass. You can't afford to pay for the protection, but it's your brother's fault. " The peach with yellow hair scolded and stood up with one foot on the chair: "boss Liu, don't talk nonsense. I've calculated it for you. Last month, you earned at least 5000 yuan. To ask you 500 yuan is to see your face, but you don't know what to do. What's the matter? I have to let my brother smash the shop for you? "

"My father paid my sister's tuition for the money he earned last month. Where can I afford you?" At this time. Liu yue'er suddenly said out loud: "you are all bad guys. I haven't had enough for several meals!"

"Yo, little girl, is there still a place for you to talk?" Parrot took the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, glanced at Liu yue'er, just saw the fried noodles in front of her: "Damn, countryman is cunning, clearly in front of a bowl of fried noodles with three eggs, but said that he had not had a full meal, is this bowl of noodles for the dog..."

Parrot just said here, Chu Yang suddenly picked up the bowl of noodles, shook his hand to him and turned over.

Pop! A bowl of hot fried noodles, there is no waste of all cover in the parrot's face. In his scream, the bowl fell to the ground and smashed.

Chu Yang suddenly made a move. All the people in the room were shocked. The peach in Leng for a moment, immediately jumped over, raised his fist to Chu Yang's right eye hit over, mouth vicious curse: "Grass Mud Horse, where drill out of the son of a bitch. Dare to be wild here

Chu Yang's left shoulder sank, his head turned slightly, and peach's fist was empty. Without waiting for him to take back his fist, he raised his left foot and stomped on his stomach with a bang, and stomped him several meters away.

"Ouch!" Peach screamed, just want to cover his stomach to stand up, but Chu Yang has come to him, reached for his hair, said with a smile: "brother peach, you've never beaten anyone for free before, you're the first one."

"Brother peach, you've never beaten anyone for free before. You're the first one." Chu Yang didn't lie when he said this to peach.

Chu Yang always thinks that as long as others don't threaten his safety, he won't do it easily. Once he does it, someone will pay him a reward.

In the eyes of killers, only money, no morality.

However, today, after seeing that the bowl of noodles he bought for Liu Yueer was said to be fed to dogs by peaches, Chu Yang felt it necessary to make an exception. But even after he started, he still had to say this to the people who were beaten. The purpose is to tell people: you have a lot of face, and let me beat you for free

As soon as this sentence is finished, Chu Yang's backhand to peach is a big mouth, and directly draws out the blood foam for him. Then he releases his hand and lets him fall to the ground. Then he went to the parrot brother, who covered his face and yelled, raised his foot and stamped out the door of the restaurant.
