Chapter 30: The Iron Donkey's Letter of Recommendation
The so-called entry ceremony is actually just everyone getting to know each other again through mutual introductions.
More than a dozen of us crowded into Zhao Zi Yang and Ma Long's dormitory, then starting with me, we took turns introducing ourselves.
Through self-introduction, I also learned the names of the three thugs who came to "depend on" me: Zhang Bin, Wang Gui, and Jia Xingliang. Each of them brought three or four younger brothers under their command, so our organization suddenly had more than a dozen people.
There is another special leader, that is Qin Yong. He doesn't have any followers, but Zhang Bin and Wang Gui show great respect to him. According to the two of them, they saw Qin Yong fight with leaders from other classes in the cafeteria and single-handedly beat up three people.
This makes me even more convinced that taking Qin Yong as a true junior brother is a very correct decision.
Since it's still the weekend, evening self-study is considered free time, so more than a dozen of us who didn't go to our respective classes, I decided to take them out for a drink again, using this as an opportunity to celebrate the growth of our organization.
Before I left, I asked Ma Long to bring Li Liang's classmates Huang Kui and Wang Chao along as well. They are also considered old-timers in our organization, so it's good that they're going too, as a way of giving me some face. This time, there are eleven new additions, while we only have five people on our side: me, Zhao Zi Yang, Ma Long, Er Niu and Zhan Xiong. If the number of people in our original organization is too small, then my relationship with these newcomers wouldn't be one of acceptance, but rather a merger!
I accept them, I am the big brother they are the little brothers.
If we were to merge, it would be a disaster, the position of the big boss would have to be competed for, and I don't want my own brother to follow someone else as a lowly underling. (A lowly underling is the lowest rank among mixed-bloods)?? Born Mixed King 30
It's not that I think I would lose in an argument with them, it's just that I find it troublesome.
So I let Ma Long call Huang Kui and Wang Chao to fill up the numbers.
Alas, I miss Li Liang a bit. That kid was one of the brave generals under me, and he alone is worth more than Huang Kui and Wang Chao combined.
The location was still at Xiao Jiu Xian, but this time we didn't go into a private room because there were too many of us. Instead, we pushed two tables together in a corner of the main hall.
I'm an old acquaintance of the boss of Little Wine Fairy, so naturally all the dishes and wine on our side are served first. Soon, the two tables we combined were filled with food.
We exchanged pleasantries for a while, then starting with Qin Yong, each of the bosses began to toast me, followed by their younger brothers also toasting me. To be honest, if it were in normal times, I wouldn't have had any problem with over ten cups of beer. But today they toasted one after another without any interval, so I downed all these beers almost in one breath. As a result, my feet began to feel a bit airy due to drinking too much.
After I finished drinking a round of wine, Zhao Ziyang also saw that I was getting a bit tipsy and stood up saying: "Crazy brother, you're drinking too much, let's let him rest for a while and recover his energy, I'll keep everyone company for another drink."
I gave Zhao Ziyang a grateful look, damn it, this wine really can't be drunk so fiercely.
Several of them also saw that I was drinking too fast and didn't make things difficult for me, so they started drinking with several other brothers.
But who would have thought that at this moment, Tan Yong suddenly stood up, picked up a glass of beer and said to me: "Feng Ge, let's drink three cups together. This way, I, Tan Yong, will be your iron brother, and I'll help you through thick and thin."
I waved my hand and said: "Qin Yong brothers, wait a minute, I drank a bit too much just now, let me take a break."
Tan Yong's face sank as he said, "Feng Ge, are you looking down on me? Although I, Tan Yong, am only one person, when it comes to fighting, one of me is equivalent to five people. Don't believe me? You can try and see!"
Saying that, Yan Yong put down his cup and started rolling up his sleeves to find someone to start work.
Damn it, I can be sure that this guy is not hot-tempered, but rather too stupid. To put it nicely, he's too simple-minded; to put it harshly, he's just not smart enough.
Seeing Tan Yong roll up his sleeves, Zhao Ziyang was no longer polite. In his opinion, Tan Yong was not giving him face. The hot-tempered Zhao Ziyang also slammed the cup in his hand on the table and scolded: "Tan Yong, haven't you seen that Brother Feng is drinking too much and is a bit dizzy? Do you have any eyesight?"
I waved my hand and asked Zhao Ziyang to sit down.
Tan Yong didn't get angry, instead he stared at me with a very thick and honest voice: "I don't know what you're talking about, I usually don't drink much, but I do know that if someone toasts you at the dinner table and you don't drink, it means you look down on the person who toasted you. If Crazy Brother looks down on me, then I have to prove my abilities to him."
Zhao Ziyang was about to scold loudly, but I pulled him back onto his seat, and he stood up after swaying twice.
Although my little brain can't grasp the balance, the big brain I use to think is still sober, so I barely picked up the wine glass in front of me and said: "Qin Yong brothers, if it wasn't for today, I really suspected that you came on purpose to make trouble."
Before I finished speaking, Wei Yong shook his head and said: "I'm not here to cause trouble, I came to hang out with Crazy Brother."
I nodded and continued: "I know, so I'll drink this wine, won't it be just three cups? I'm drinking for you, my straightforward brother!"
I picked up a glass of beer and drank it down in one gulp.
After I finished drinking, Tan Yong stared at me with a silly expression.
I belched and said: "Qin Yong, why don't you drink? Don't you think I'm crazy?"
Tan Yong suddenly enlightened, and the wine cup in front of him was also put down.
If I'm not mistaken, this is only Quan Yong's second cup of wine today, but his face has already turned red like a stamp pad.
After Quan Yong drank it, I took the two cups in front of Zhao Ziyang and Ma Long and "gulp gulp gulp" drank them down.
During this time, Zhao Ziyang wanted to take a cup for me, but was pushed away by me.
Tan Yong picked up the wine bottle and poured himself another two cups, then downed them with his head bowed.
After drinking, Qin Yong also belched and said: "Crazy brother, I am now your brother."
I gritted my teeth and nodded, feeling like I was going to throw up: "Damn it, if you drank that much wine, you're still not my crazy brother, I'll kill you!"
Tan Yong's face broke into a smile, and then with a plop, he climbed onto the table!
In an instant, we were all stunned. The intoxication on me was also shocked away by half: "Damn it, will Tan Yong never get drunk to death?!"
Countless cold sweats broke out on my back in an instant.
Zhang Bin, sitting next to Qin Yong, felt Qin Yong's pulse with his hand and then went to sniff Qin Yong's breath. He let out a long sigh and said: "Crazy brother, Qin Yong should be fine, probably just got drunk!"
Zhang Bin's words had just fallen when Tan Yong started snoring again.
This guy is still sleeping.
Zhao Ziyang was stunned for a moment and doubted: "Could it be that this guy is drinking for the first time...... even if it's his first time, this wine is too bad!"
Next to Zhang Bin, Wang Guidao said: "Zhao Ge, you haven't seen this before. I have a classmate whose alcohol tolerance is even worse. He gets drunk just by touching wine. Let alone drinking three or four cups of beer, he will get drunk and crazy even if he drinks a few mouthfuls of liquor!"
Zhao Ziyang listened with even more curiosity: "Isn't this just like what's acted out on TV? I thought those were all made up, but it turns out there really are people like that!"
Men get drunk quickly and soon we're all bragging, and Qin Yong became the first person to pass out tonight.
I was scared by Tan Yong just now, and I woke up a lot of wine on my body. However, I don't dare to drink hard anymore. I know that I am only one line away from getting drunk.
These brothers were also quite sensible and didn't force me to drink anymore, but still a few people got drunk.
So I started arranging for my sober brother to send the drunken brother back to school in a half-drunken and half-awake state, and one by one, people left, leaving only me and Ma Long behind.
Zhao Ziyang also got drunk and was carried back by Er Niu and Zhan Xiong.
I shook my head to clear it and called over the boss of the Little Wine Fairy to settle the bill.
As I was settling the bill and preparing to leave, a conversation between two people caught my attention and that of Ma Long's, so we returned to our original seats pretending to be drunk and chatted.
We're all half-drunk anyway, so it's not like we're pretending to be drunk.
Those two came in after all of my brothers had left, so they didn't pay much attention to our situation.
Two people sat at a table in the corner, one ordered a plate of scrambled eggs and fried rice.
Let's use A and B to represent these two soy sauce roles.
He ate egg fried rice while saying: "You say Iron Donkey really wants to accept Crazy's application?"
It was also this sentence of Jia that attracted me and Ma Long to go back.
When I saw Ma Long and I returned, the boss of the wine fairy thought we had drunk too much wine and couldn't leave for the time being. With a kind heart, he poured two cups of water for us and let us sit down to rest.
After A finished speaking, B said: "Well, Tie Liu has made up his mind to follow An Kang, so the letter of introduction that An Kang wants, Tie Liu will definitely go back and get it."
Jia said: "There are so many annoying people in high school, Iron Donkey brother can easily deal with one of them, just make the action bigger, isn't it just a matter of throwing a name card? Who doesn't get rid of someone, why bother with that crazy guy who's on a roll and has a knife to stab people?"
Yi said: "Don't you know the temper of our Iron Donkey's brother? Those little rascals won't be taken seriously, besides, to curry favor with An Kang, just rounding up a few ordinary thugs as a token of loyalty might not even be enough, otherwise wouldn't that Liu Tao or whatever also be able to curry favor with An Kang?"
He nodded and said, "That's right, no matter what, Brother Tie Ma says who to take care of, we'll take care of who, don't care if they're crazy or stupid, our Iron Donkey Gang brothers have never been afraid of anyone."
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I heard this. I had just finished dealing with Chen Shao, and now another big shot from the first year of high school, Tie Liu, was after me. To make matters worse, this Tie Liu had some connection to An Kang, a legendary figure from our school's past. This was getting complicated.
We were half-drunk, and Ma Long's guts had also grown bigger. He pointed at Jia and Yi with his finger: "Feng Ge, do we want to take care of these two bastards first?"
I shook my head and said, "Don't alarm the enemy for now. Let's not let Iron Donkey know that we've already heard about his plan to deal with us. Let's go back to our dorm first and discuss this matter together after everyone has sobered up. It'll also give me a chance to test the loyalty and combat skills of those new members, just like giving them a baptism by fire!"
In order not to attract the attention of A and B, Ma Long and I crawled onto the table pretending to sleep, then we really fell asleep. We were only woken up when the boss of the Little Wine Fairy was closing down, by which time A and B had long gone.
At this time, Ma Long and I had both sobered up, so we climbed over the wall and returned to school, because the school gate had already been locked at this time.
Of course, the dormitory door was also locked, but fortunately we were familiar with the dorm manager, knocked on the door, and the old man opened it for us. He smelled our body full of wine and just reminded us to be careful next time, and didn't make things difficult for us.
When we returned to the dormitory, they left the door open for us. Since everyone had drunk wine, now they were all sleeping soundly. Ma Long and I were also very sleepy, so we decided that important things could be said tomorrow, and then we locked the dormitory door and went to sleep.
