Chapter 9: Bloody Battle on Long Street

  "Wow, this meat tastes great." Li Xiao Li chewed with a big mouth and said vaguely. Bai Shu Guang also nodded in agreement, sticking up his thumb: "Delicious, I say, Egg Brother, Gen Brother, such good stuff, you guys should open a store to sell it."

  These two chubby guys, as long as they eat well, will naturally not hesitate to praise Brother Gao. Even if it's these leftover donkey meat and rough beer from the stall, they'll still savor every bite.

  "You two are stupid, how much goods can be sold in the store." Lei Dapeng scolded the two fat brothers and asked Dan Yong after drinking a mouthful of beer: "Egg brother, how many batches are shipped every day now?"

  "A thousand catties or so, but there are too many people doing donkey meat business now, each with their own old customers, it's really not easy to do. " Danyong said while eating, and added with a slightly difficult expression: "Shijiavillage is good, but the cost of frozen meat is much higher, can't make much profit."

  "Isn't that enough? Your mom said, originally it was just a few hundred a day, now it's several thousand a day, right? No wonder you're so happy you don't even want to go to work. When there's money to be made, don't hog it all, bring your brothers along." Lei Dapeng said, this salary income, stimulated Da Huang and Er Huang's eyes to bulge out, they almost wanted to throw down their city management uniforms and follow Egg Brother around, the two of them flattering him. Single Yong looked at these three fat men, probably not pleasing to his eyes, smiled and said:

  "Alright, wake up at 5 am, start work at 7 am, deal with the leftover sales from the previous day, depart at 10 am, drive 40 kilometers to the donkey farm, wait for the goods to be loaded, and then return. Start delivering goods at noon and continue until after 10 pm. For every 100 kilograms of meat, you can only make a profit if you sell 90 kilograms, and the remaining amount is your earnings. In other words, if you lose one kilogram in your hands, you need to sell ten kilograms to make up for it. Who wants to do this job? I welcome them with both hands."

  "That's selling donkey meat, it's simply treating oneself as a donkey." Lì Xiǎolì was stunned.

  "It's really miserable, I'd rather be a city inspector." Bai Shuguang also shook his head after hearing this.

  Lei Dapeng doesn't need to say, a lazy guy, the three fat men nodded in unison, making Shi Genwa and Da Biao laugh. To be honest, this business is not easy to do, with daily goods worth tens of thousands of yuan, only Shanyu and the villagers have been dealing with each other for several years, everyone trusts each other, and they can settle accounts the next day. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid even the capital wouldn't be enough.

  Although they walked different paths, it didn't stop the brothers from bragging and chatting about business, football, games, and when the topic turned to women, these men of different identities finally had a common topic. Shi Genwa and Da Biao were amazed by the movie given by Shan Yong, thinking it was Lei Ge's masterpiece, and immediately showed respect and admiration. Lei Dapeng had a good impression of these two brothers from Shijia Village, so he readily agreed with them. When they talked about women, Lei Dapeng suddenly remembered something and said that he ran into Ning Jia today. To be precise, it wasn't that they ran into each other, but rather coincidentally met at the opening celebration of Bayi Shopping Mall, where the city management was maintaining order. Lei Dapeng asked with a sly tone, but Shan Yong rolled his eyes, and Lei Ge felt embarrassed to ask again.

  "Hey, Egg Brother, what was I saying to you? Haven't you encountered any problems with this business?" Lei Dapeng asked Dan Yong while eating. Dan Yong was taken aback and said there shouldn't be any problems. Lei Dapeng was genuinely concerned about Egg Brother and said in a mature tone: "What kind of problem, based on our experience as city administrators, most businesses on this street are colluding with each other, especially those high-profit ones like meat and food processing. The water is deep, so you'd better be careful, Egg Brother."

  Dan Yong nodded and thanked him. But unexpectedly, Shi Genwa didn't believe it and asked directly: "What's to be careful about?"

  "That's right, we're also doing business, listening to your words, brother, there are still people looking for us?" Shi Da Biao said.

  These two big guys are a bit silly, talking nonsense, with an air of being invincible. Compared to them, Lei Dapeng is considered clever, smiling and saying: "I don't understand rural affairs, but in urban areas, you're a bit off the mark. Think about it, others originally had fixed channels for goods in and out, if you sell 1,000 catties, it means the original supplier will sell less than 1,000 catties or even more, now you've snatched away their market share, but can you stop them from taking it back? Just take 1,000 catties as an example, equivalent to tens of thousands of profit per day, is money that easy to make?"

  Lei Dapeng waved his two fat hands, and the offense and defense were very clear. He didn't learn much from books, but he learned a lot of things from socializing, especially from his dad.

  "Brilliant!" Li Xiao Li clapped his buttocks.

  "Fantastic!" Bai Shuguang also flattered.

  "You two are stupid, learn from me." Lei Dapeng educated his little brother, and the two chubby brothers ate while giggling foolishly.

  But this thing, let Shigenwa and Shidabiao not understand, as if it was a matter of course, as if fearless, Shidabiao said: "In the method of donkey meat, others I dare not say, to say sauce meat, there is no better than our village."

  "Our village still supplies several restaurants in the city, and we only choose donkeys that are raised by ourselves. The taste is well-known to everyone, otherwise it wouldn't sell so well." Shigenwa also maintained the image of Shijia Village's sauce meat, which was freshly slaughtered on the same day, and frozen meat was completely different in taste.

  "Haha, not necessarily good goods have a market." Lei Dapeng said. This remark, however, got a nod of approval from Shan Yong, who smiled and took a glance, and had to admit that in these matters, Lei Dapeng was indeed stronger than the average person.

  However, including Shi Jia Village and the two brothers, they didn't quite understand. When asking Lei Dapeng, he said: "Doing business, my mom is a fine one; messing with business, my dad is this."

  Lei Dapeng gave a thumbs up, and it seemed that his family education was not bad. He listened to him analyze: "For example, if I'm selling well in this area, and suddenly another store comes in and takes away half of my business, what can I do? Pulling down the shutters is not an option, nor is competing with them... In this situation, what can be done?"

  "What should we do?" The two chubby little brothers asked reverently.

  "Think of other ways, such as cutting off their water and electricity supply, or reporting them to the industrial and commercial tax authorities for counterfeiting, smuggling, and tax evasion. Or, you can just find a group of thugs to smash their store. Do you know how our coal bosses grab resources? They just send hundreds of people to fight with each other, whoever wins continues to do business, and those who lose get out. My second uncle is in the fruit business, at the Zifang Fruit Wholesale Market, he can make tens of millions of yuan a year. During peak season when everyone's fighting for stalls and goods, they all carry knives with them, and if things get heated up, it's just a matter of 'in comes the white knife, out comes the red knife'... no, I mean, 'in comes the white knife, out comes the red knife', this has nothing to do with the Black Society. Nowadays society is so messed up, everyone's heart is black, competition is so fierce, who doesn't want to make money? Even a small food stall owner can make over a hundred yuan a day and still dare to mess with our city management. What about a good business like donkey meat sales... Ah, I'm telling you two, grow up a bit, just talking about it has scared you so much?"

  Lei Dapeng was excited, and he kept talking non-stop, exaggerating and making up stories as he went along. The two brothers from Shi's village were laughing at him, and Shan Yong was also smiling. But the two fat brothers seemed to be really scared, their eyes wide with fear. When Lei Dapeng pushed them and asked what was wrong, Li Xiao weakly pointed in his direction and said in a trembling voice:

  "Thunder... thunder... Brother Lei, isn't this a bad omen?"

  Several people were shocked and turned their heads, the movements of chatting stopped instantly, smiles froze, a semicircular circle formed unknowingly in the laughter of the crowd, dozens of meters away, as if waiting for something. Single courage was surprised to turn his head again to look forward, suddenly thought of his family, turned his head to see, "Bang" sounded.

  The windshield of the car was smashed to pieces, and the person who smashed it laughed at the crowd. As he turned his head back, another piece of glass shattered with a loud crash. Shi Genwa couldn't help but stand up, but was grabbed by Shan Yong.

  The provocative, naked provocation was surrounded by people, and the car window glass was smashed with a loud crash. The iron rod scraped against the car paint, making a harsh sound that seemed to scrape against San Yong's heart. The surrounding people slowly moved forward, their faces filled with mocking smiles.

  It was inevitable, after all, that he couldn't escape, and Dan Yong's heart skipped a beat as his blood surged and his hair stood on end. Looking around at the ferocious faces, some with long hair, others bald, some in shorts, and others shirtless, there were thirteen or fourteen of them in total. In an instant, they formed a circle around him, led by a bald man who swaggered towards Dan Yong's table with a clear target in mind.

  The few guests at the four tables stood up subconsciously, threw down their money, and slowly walked away in the opposite direction before quickly leaving this circle of right and wrong. The stall owner who was making a profit saw that the first young man had tattoos on his arms and felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

  With a loud crash, the bowl rolled on the ground and shattered. The stall owner tensed up and shrank back, then took to his heels and ran.

  The crowd slowly gathered around, Shanyong's hand slowly gripped the beer glass handle, at this moment it was surprisingly calm, a calmness that arose from anger and hatred, gritting his teeth and saying: "Those who come to rush me, those who are afraid should leave quickly."

  Shigenwa and Da Biao grasped the legs of the stool, having exchanged greetings earlier. The only unexpected collision was with Lei Dapeng, who let out a long sigh, his expression turning fierce as he picked up his wine cup and said in a low voice: "I'm only afraid of exams, nothing else scares me. Ba Rou, notify my family... Li Zi, call over the brothers nearby, whoever can come will be counted."

  Not afraid, just a little scared and was frightened away. Bai Shuguang and Li Xiaoli were about to run, but seeing the four of them sitting so quietly, they didn't dare to run either, their hands trembling as they held onto their phones, unable to open the screen for half a day.

  Everyone who came had something wrapped in newspaper in their hands, which looked like either a watermelon knife or a lead pipe, the standard weapon for street fights. Seeing that the newcomers were sauntering and stopping ten steps away with an air of deliberate casualness, they unintentionally formed a complete encirclement. With this momentum, everyone at the table was treated as if they were turtles in a jar.

  "Two people in a group, Lei Dapeng and I... Genwa you and Da Biao, go all out, don't show any mercy, whoever shows mercy will suffer more. Lizi, Bai Rou, you two don't fight back, with this skin they won't dare to do anything to you."

  Shan Yong gritted his teeth and said, his fingers whitening as he pinched the wine cup, his scalp slightly numb. He had been on guard day and night, but hadn't guarded against it at the most careless moment. The handy guy, that long knife for slicing donkey meat was still placed on the carriage.

  They came to a halt, as if everything had stopped. The two groups surrounding them also stopped, watching the six people who had become their prey with interest. With an absolute numerical advantage, there was no suspense left. When the leader smiled and spat on the ground, he pointed directly at Dan Yong and said, "We have some private business with him, those who are not involved should leave."

  No one moved, and just as that man was about to make his move, but unexpectedly, Shan Yong took the initiative and shouted: Hit!

  The rabbit rises, the pheasant falls. Xiong Yu and Lei Dapeng head north, Shi Genwa and Shi Da Biao head south, in two opposite directions, as if they are about to rush into a surrounded circle. Li Xiaoli and Bai Shuguang, the two chubby ones, "squeak" and quickly drill under the table.

  "Halt..."

  "Ah..."

  "Run again..."

  The two fastest guys, carrying their stuff, rushed straight towards Lei Dapeng and Shan Yong. Nobody noticed that the two were running very strangely, with Lei Dapeng, who was fat, in front, and Shan Yong behind. Moreover, Lei's shouting was even more fierce than those rushing up, holding a large beer mug, looking like he was about to burst his eyes out, shouting:

  Come on, old chap! Let's have a fight!

  Bloodthirsty eyes wide open, pig-belly fierce eyes bulging out, the besiegers did not expect that these four people would still dare to fight desperately. In an instant, they were stunned, and then the two with the fastest reaction held up water pipes and brick blocks, also with a fierce momentum, and smashed them down. The group fight was won by whoever was more ruthless. Both sides were ruthless enough, not a single word was said, and they directly started fighting.

  Two pairs of Lei Dapeng and Dan Yong were about to engage in a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, Lei Dapeng suddenly rolled on the ground like a lazy donkey, charging straight at the bottom three roads. The two of them didn't have time to react and were tripped up by Lei Dapeng. One of them fell flat on his face, while the other stumbled and almost fell over. Just as he managed to steady himself, he unexpectedly met Dan Yong's swinging wine cup head-on.

  "Bang" went one guy, almost saw blood flowers and glass debris flying up, that person fell straight down.

  He kicked one foot back and stepped on the head of that person who was still in a daze from being knocked to the ground.

  Everyone who has fought with Danyu Leida knows that they are both ruthless and unscrupulous, one attacks the lower plate, the other hits the upper plate, and few people don't lose money in this kind of thug fight. As soon as they meet, the opponent will be defeated by two pairs. On the other hand, Shigenwa and Shidabiao are both big men, each wielding a board bench, chopping and chopping, directly smashing two and a half pairs.

  The blink of an eye turned into a chaotic battle, the four Single Braves suddenly rose up and roared loudly, one against four, with overwhelming momentum.

  The knife and pipe wrench clashed together, striking as one.

  Everyone shouted "Ah yo!" and the arms, clubs, stools, and legs all collided. The cries rose up on all sides.

  "My god... My god..."

  Lei Dapeng was yelling loudly, but he was crouching on the ground, hitting people's knees as soon as they saw him. One hit and they fell down accurately. On the road, Shan Yong hit his neck and knocked his head, one knock and it was accurate, two knocks in a row, and another loud "damn". Lei Dapeng looked at his hand and was stunned, only to find that he had only the cup handle left. He turned around and saw that Shan Yong had also hit hard, with only the cup handle left in his hand.

  The sword slipped out of his hand, and someone took advantage of the situation to attack. A long-haired punk rushed up, swinging a knife that sent Single Courage retreating several steps back, as if he had been stabbed. Taking advantage of the brief moment, the punk swung a watermelon rind at Leaping Big Peng, who was crouching down. In the flash of lightning, Leaping Big Peng, whose weapon had slipped out of his hand, shouted: "Watch out for hidden weapons!"

  That man flashed, but there was nothing. He turned his head back, but unexpectedly Lei Dapeng had already prepared, "Puff" a mouthful of saliva and phlegm spat on this guy's face. Before he could even wipe it off, his wrist hurt, and Shanyong counterattacked. With a twist and a stab, the cup handle was used as a dagger to stab at his wrist. The knife had been knocked away by someone.

  Just as he turned his head to run, his butt suddenly hurt again. When he turned back, he saw that the fat guy who spat had inserted the handle of a wine cup into his anus and was grinning, asking: "Dude, does it feel good?"

  "Ah!" The child yelled crazily and ran away like a ghost.

  "Ah, damn it." Le Da Peng had just relaxed a bit when he felt a sudden pain on his back. He let out a ghostly cry and rolled over to change positions, only to find that someone had hit him with a water pipe from behind.

  The man holding the water pipe swung it at Shan Yong again, but unexpectedly Shan Yong was faster, his hand inserted into the gap between the shadows of the stick, and he thrust diagonally towards the man's chest.

  "Ah!" A blood-curdling scream, the man's hand froze in mid-air, staring at a hand inserted into his own chest, with blood gushing out. The intense pain made him forget that he still had an even more deadly weapon in his hand, and he looked at his own wounds with terror, screaming horribly.

  No, not a hand, but the handle of the cup in his hand, that sharp edge pierced his own chest, in front of him, Dan Yong Zheng stared fiercely, with one pull, his hand grasped the bloody cup shard, like an angry golden rooster, as if he was about to devour someone at any moment. This person's heart and gall were instantly shattered, with a "dang" sound, he threw down the club, this person rolled and crawled away, running like he had seen a ghost...

  And he was yelling desperately: "Save me, save me..."

  In less than two minutes, the fierce group fight had a clear winner. Shi Genwa knocked down three people and was stabbed once, with a gash on his forehead and blood all over his face, looking like a mad tiger; no one dared to approach him. Shi Da Biao was the most agile with his hands and feet, took a few blows and knocked down two people. The two big men stood back-to-back, clearly experienced fighters, fighting in an orderly manner. Those who didn't fall were scared away.

  It turned out that the least intimidating-looking Danyong was the most ruthless, and three of the six positive ones were knocked to the ground with head injuries. Two of them didn't even dare to make a sound after being stabbed, and the two who had been scared away by the stabbing had long since disappeared. Lei Dapeng struggled to get up despite the pain, while the leader of the group was slowly backing away step by step.

  He clearly saw that the man had a dragon tattoo on his upper body, spanning across both shoulders, and a shaved head revealing a greenish scalp. If he were among ordinary people, he would be intimidating, but at this moment, facing the ferocious-looking Lei Dapeng and the blood-stained Xian Yong, the man retreated in fear. No matter how much he had calculated, he hadn't expected to face these few men who were even more formidable than thugs. What was originally an absolute advantage had turned into him being alone.

  "Stop it, don't force me......"

  That man suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and swung it around. Shi Genwa wiped the blood off her face, picked up an iron rod on the ground and was about to pounce forward when she was held back by Shi Dabiao. But Shan Yong sneered, covered in blood, advancing step by step, his voice almost bursting out of his teeth: "Come on, stab me... I remember you, today you can't kill me, I'll make you suffer worse than death..."

  In front of his chest, a patch of blood red, with a knife wound, his whole body covered in bloodstains, still holding the bloody cup handle, Dan Yong's ruthless movements of smashing and stabbing had all fallen into this bald man's eyes. Watching him approach step by step like a bloodthirsty person, that bald man was actually retreating step by step, his heart filled with fear. The voice wasn't loud, but it was like an incantation, terrifying him to the point where he didn't dare take another step forward.

  "Bang..."

  With a shout, this guy flipped his eyes white and fell down like a mud heap. Behind him, Lei Dapeng held up half a brick that someone had thrown down, viciously spat, and stepped on the crotch again. Looking at Dan Yong's appearance, he asked nervously: "Egg brother, are you hurt?"

  "It's nothing... just a scratch, not deep. Hurry up and tell your dad, we can't afford to take responsibility for this...” Single Courage looked down at himself, lying on the ground, groaning in pain, his fighting spirit already gone, and even he couldn't explain why he had been so ruthless earlier. Lei Dapeng picked up the phone, but it was just Single Courage telling him: "Why don't we run? This thing has blown up."

  Looks like things have escalated, and there are two more who won't back down. Lei Dapeng's heart still racing with fear as he stared at Shan Yong, it had been a long time since they last fought, but surprisingly Egg Brother's fists were even more ruthless than before.

  "It can't be avoided. Don't worry, I have control over my hands, it won't kill me." Dan Yong said, untying his waist bag and throwing it far away to Li Xiao Li, shouting: "Catch it, send it back to my home... brothers, thank you!"

  Rarely calm, and yet so rarely sorrowful, knowing that making a living is not easy, but also did not think it would be such a miserable sight, tearing clothes, wrapping wounds, throwing away the bloody shards of cups, Dan Yong stood quietly like a lost soul, staring at those lying down, groaning, and those standing far away, not daring to come over.

  At this moment, he strangely thought of Zuo Xiying, thinking of strolling with his sister in a leisurely manner, watching the night view, which was once so beautiful, but it was so incompatible with the bloody stains that entered his eyes.

  Lei Dapeng finished the phone call, picked up a stick, touched the big lump on his back, and lay down on the ground, still feeling unrelenting. He was poking at a chrysanthemum with the stick, muttering curses as he did so.

  "Damn it, now you know who's awesome, I've never taken a beating this bad since I was a kid..."

  ………………

  ………………

  "Brother Li, what to do?" Bai Shuguang held the returned goods payment in his hand, which was shaking violently. He knew that Lei Ge and his friends were fierce, but he didn't expect them to be so ruthless. Just a moment ago, they were still ashamed of hiding under the table, but now they were scared again by the sight of blood all over the floor.

  "You ask me." Lì Xiǎolì said nervously, his eyes darting back and forth as he replied: "Who did I ask?"

  When he said this, the two were still hiding under the table, like two piles of trembling flesh, only their backs could be seen shaking.

  A sharp alarm sounded, and the 110 patrol car rushed to the scene. The sparse crowd parted ways, and even the police were startled, with their hearts skipping a beat. Seven or eight people lay on the ground, while four others sat in the middle, also covered in blood. They looked like four fierce statues. The 110 police officers were frightened and notified the riot control team at the bureau while cautiously keeping a safe distance. From afar, they shouted: "Hey, nobody is allowed to move!"

  No one spoke up, nor did anyone move. The ambulance sirens grew louder and closer, four stretchers arrived, taking away four people, and three were escorted away.

  Lei Da Bao arrived, but was stopped outside the police cordon. However, when he saw the two fat men following his son, he knew something had happened and quickly made a phone call. At this time, a team of riot police with shields and batons rushed over and took away the four people covered in blood, who were also seriously injured.

  Never expected the world to be so beautiful, but never thought it would be so treacherous. In that instant when the car moved, Shanyong saw his beloved car which had been with him through thick and thin now covered in scars, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, having an urge to cry...

  ……
