The First Chaos? Volume 1 Chapter 63 Unhappy and Unwilling

  After taking out the phone and considering for a long time, I finally decided to tell the truth, fortunately Zhu Gui's condition is good.

  I dialed the phone on Lazy's mobile phone, and Lazy had already gone home. He gave me a number, saying it was given to him by someone named Song Qing. I didn't expect that Song Qing also bought a cell phone. I called him and he answered warmly: "Is that Brother Qiang? Tell Du Xing that the things he wants are all ready for him, as soon as he comes back we can start work." After chatting with him for a few sentences, I found out that he used the money I gave him to directly invest in a small winery in Yao Village. Everything is ready. It seems that this young man really has strong business skills.

  Then I carefully said to him: "Zhu Gui's face has gotten into a bit of trouble, he got slightly injured, but it's nothing serious. Who do you think we should notify first?"

  Song Qing didn't say much and found Lu Junyi to give him the phone. I briefly told him about the situation, and Lu Junyi asked: "How is Zhu Gui doing now?"

  "It's all right, I'm just lying down."

  Lu Junyi said slowly and calmly: "I'll take Wu Jun and the others over right now."

  "I hurriedly said: 'Do you want me to go pick you up? It's so late, how are you coming over? Do you know the place?'"

  "Haha, don't worry about this anymore. We've made a scene in Tokyo before, such a small place can't hold us."

  His last sentence scared me so much that I was covered in cold sweat, and I always thought Lü Junyi was gentle, conservative, and surrendered, but unexpectedly he was very bold.

  Moreover, they arrived faster than I had imagined. I had just sat down for a short while when Lu Junyi walked into the bar first. I hurried to welcome him and saw Wu Yong and Zhang Qing getting out of a taxi at the entrance. I was puzzled why three people were taking one car, and Zhang Qing smiled and pointed to the car with his hand, saying: "There's another person we don't know, we hitched a ride."

  I let the three of them wait for a while, ran to the front of the taxi and took a look. The driver was making an emergency call, and there was a middle-aged passenger sitting in the co-pilot seat who looked like he had just seen a ghost. I told him not to make the call. After asking, it turned out that these three people were not even hitchhiking. This passenger had just taken a taxi from the city and wanted to leave the city, but was intercepted by these three on the highway adjacent to the village of Piaoyu, forcing the driver to turn back. I apologized profusely and gave the driver 100 yuan, and this matter was finally settled. The passenger, seeing that it wasn't a case of robbery or murder, didn't know whether he was scared or happy, and burst into tears. I quickly grabbed a small bottle of Corona from the bar and put it in the car, saying: "Don't cry, this bottle of wine is for you to calm your nerves."

  I led Lu Junyi and the others into the private room, Zhu Gui still didn't dare to move, Zheng Guang was lying on his stomach watching MTV, seeing the leader had arrived, he quickly turned off the TV and covered the wound with a piece of clothing. Wu Yong went forward to take a look at the wound and said to Lu Junyi: "It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious."

  Zhu Gui said with a hint of grievance: "Why didn't Doctor An come? This medicine is no good." Wu Yong said: "Originally, he was supposed to be in the first batch, but since only three people can sit in the carriage, he couldn't bring Zhang Qing and the other brothers along, so they wouldn't let him go."

  Zhang Qing held onto his son and asked Du Xing, "Do you know who did it?" Du Xing pointed to Zhu Gui and said, "You ask him, I wasn't there at the time. Otherwise, those few kids wouldn't have all run away."

  Wu Yong sat beside Zhu Gui: "Speak slowly - Xiao Qiang, go to the entrance again and respond. The brothers will enter the city in batches, there are still many people behind."

  I just arrived at the entrance. An Audi A6 had just stopped, and Lin Chong, An Daquan, Yang Zhi, and Dong Ping got out of the car. I asked Sun Sixin to lead them up, sighed, and thought that the driver couldn't be bought off with money. Unexpectedly, the driver was very generous, and at first glance, he seemed like a wealthy man who had been imprisoned for many years and then released. He even praised me directly: "I just like brothers like you guys. If you have any business in the future, give me a call, and this friend is settled." Later, I found out that after being intercepted by these people, the wealthy man recklessly used his black tiger fist to fight back, but Dong Ping didn't fight back. In the end, the wealthy man was exhausted and fell down before Dong Ping told him that they were going to visit their injured brother and asked him to give them a ride.

  The next car had Hu San Niang with Jin Da Jian and the Ruan brothers, and the owner even waved goodbye to Hu San Niang as they left - no need to ask, this was Third Sister's doing. Then came Song Qing with Li Yun and two others; I was wondering how they'd managed to flag down a car when I realized the driver was a woman. After Song Qing got out of the car, the woman even ran out after him asking for his phone number - that woman had some nerve!

  These Liangshan heroes are just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each with their own methods, coming in batches. The drivers were of course furious, and I was doing some follow-up work at the door. Finally, a large truck loaded with charcoal blocked the entrance to the bar, and people jumped down from the truck one after another. Li Kui jumped down from the front of the truck and said in Shandong dialect: "Thanks, old fellow!" Then he slammed the door shut and hastily followed Sun Sixin upstairs.

  Lu Zhishen and his group were coerced by force; Lin Chong's group was moved by emotions; Flute-playing Niangzi naturally lured with her charm; Song Qing - lured with male charm. Dai Zong came running on his own, counted as 4, if not because he didn't dare to run freely when entering the city, it would have been even faster.

  The 54 good men finally gathered at the Inverted Time Bar, I walked upstairs with my hands crossed, knowing that it was completely over.

  The corridor was crowded with good men, they went in batches to visit Zhu Gui. I squeezed into the private room and saw Lu Junyi and Wu Yong sitting on one side. Those who were talking to Zhu Gui now were Li Yun and several others including Zhu San Niang. Li Yun was Zhu Gui's elder brother and Zhu Fu's master. He held Zhu Gui's hand and comforted him in a tone of an elder. Zhu San Niang looked at me with a smile that was not quite a smile, I suddenly had a very bad premonition...

  As expected, she grabbed me and twisted my head with her fist, scolding: "Our brother has been following you for just one day and already got into trouble, huh?" The people around us laughed and quickly pulled us apart. This time my head hurt, but it seemed to have bumped into something soft and fluffy, which felt very comfortable, but I didn't know what it was. Hui San Niang took the opportunity when no one was paying attention to adjust her chest, and when she saw me sneaking a peek at her, she made a threatening gesture with her fist towards me, so I quickly pretended to be nonchalant and looked away.

  At this time, Li Kui couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in from the end of the corridor, pushing many people to stumble. He entered the room, lifted up the clothes covering Zhu Gui's buttocks, and saw that the wound had already...

  The whole re-bandaged, very delicate, the new gauze only oozed a little blood. Ha smiled and said: "You bird, I thought your butt had been chopped off by someone, and you rushed to see your last face, but it turned out that you were just bitten by an insect." As he spoke, he made a gesture to pat Zhu's wound, and Zhu was so frightened that he jumped behind Lu Junyi in one step, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

  The atmosphere on the scene was very friendly and harmonious, completely not what I had imagined. I thought they would hold Zhu Gui's buttocks and wail loudly, then grit their teeth and vow to avenge this grievance. It seems that bandits are just bandits, with broken arms and legs all within the tolerable range.

  I fantasized that this matter would end here, and even if it needed to be investigated, I would take my time, after all, with multiple hidden enemies, one can't feel at ease, but if they were to do it, heaven knows what kind of things they would come up with, however, my expectations were soon dashed.

  Lu Junyi waved his hand and said: "Shi Qian and Xiaoqiang stay behind, the rest of you brothers go downstairs to drink."

  Ruan Xiao'er stuck his head in the doorway and said, "Let us know as soon as there's a result." Then these fifty or so people shouted down from upstairs, occupying half of the bar's territory, drinking with abandon. They already knew I was the boss of this bar, treating liquor like cold water, pouring it down their throats. Fortunately, they only ordered beer and didn't find it to their taste, not drinking much, which is why today's bill was kept under 2 yuan.

  Only Zhu Kui, Du Xing, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong and Shi Qian were left in the private room. Zhu Kui had been standing since earlier and hadn't sat down again, with half his buttocks perched on the corner of the sofa. Wu Yong patted his hand and said: "Now tell us in detail, what's going on?"

  Zhu Gui said: "Actually, as soon as I entered the house, I felt something was wrong. There were 8 of them in total, with 4 standing behind me, trapping me in the middle. Then they pretended to argue while surrounding me, two people grabbed my arms together, and someone attacked from behind. When they left, they warned me 'to be smart', obviously hinting at something."

  These words Zhu Gui never told me. Apparently he doesn't trust my intelligence.

  Wu Yong suddenly asked me a strange question: "Xiao Qiang, you're really not running a black shop?"

  I scrunched up my face and waved my hand, saying: "This bar I've only just taken over for a day. Even if I wanted to cheat, isn't it too early? Actually, if not for what was said before, I really wanted to reform this bar, get some young girls to come, wear rabbit ears and dress up as bunny girls, wear reflective mini skirts, touch one and get a bottle of foreign wine, touch another and get a bottle of foreign wine... then on the stage, plant a steel pipe. Let the provocative little girl go up and hug the pole, start wearing a cotton monkey suit, inside with leather jacket, woolen sweater, woolen vest and so on, throw money down and take it off, the faster you throw tickets, the faster you take it off, I estimate that by the time you get to autumn clothes and underwear, you can earn tens of thousands...

  Wu Yong listened to me finish speaking, smiled and picked up the tray with Yunnan Baiyao iodine wine and gauze, asking: "Does this tavern still sell wound medicine?"

  I was taken aback and only then realized that this was indeed a question.

  Lu Zhanyi asked Zhu Gui, "Those people told you to be smarter, what did they mean? Have you offended someone?"

  "I've just been here for less than half a day, what could I have possibly offended anyone with?"

  "Could it be those people who lost to us in dancing?"

  I shook my head firmly: "Those who dance in the streets are just a bunch of innocent kids, they don't have that kind of guts."

  Wu Yong said: "It's obvious, on the first day of taking office, encountering such a thing is someone trying to make you drop your job and not do it. Zhu Gui, if he doesn't do this vice... what," I reminded him: "Manager."

  “…Deputy manager, who would benefit the most?” Wu Yong picked up his beer cup and took a sip, frowned and put it down again. I quickly called for someone to bring two cups of tea and also asked Sun Sixin to come over. Then I replied to Wu Yong: "It won't be beneficial to anyone. The annual profit from this wine is all mine, even if I find a few hundred deputy managers, it's just that we won't make any money."

  Wu Yong nodded and said, "This is a bit difficult."

  At this time, Sun Sixin came in with two cups of tea. This lean young man saw batch after batch of fierce men coming one after another and knew that today's affairs had become complicated. Although the people from Liangshan did not have three heads and six arms, they had a kind of temperament that was willing to sacrifice their lives. Having stayed in this bar for so long, he could naturally see the temperaments of various people.

  Lu Junyi and Wu Yong sat quietly, but the arrogant and overbearing aura of the local tyrant was not retracted in the slightest. Sun Sihuan placed the tea in front of them and did not leave, instead waiting with his hands hanging down to ask questions.

  Wu Yong looked him up and down, asking: "How did this kind of thing end up in your tavern?" As he spoke, he pushed the tray holding the medicine a bit.

  "That's our Manager Liu's, it's not unusual for bars to have some small problems, so we always prepare for these things." Lu Junyi gave me a glare, implying: "You're still saying this isn't a black shop?"

  Wu Yong continued to ask: "What's the background of your Manager Liu?"

  Sun Sixin hesitated for a moment. Knowing that he couldn't keep it hidden for more than a few days, he simply said: "Our Manager Liu has many connections on the 'way', his friends often get into disputes and get hurt, so they frequently come to the bar looking for him."

  "Is he also a romantic? Have you ever met Manager Liu?" This question was directed at Zhu Gui. Zhu Gui shook his head.

  "Does Manager Liu rarely come to visit the store?"

  "Used to come every day, but today..."

  I also remembered what Chen Kejiao told me. It seems that this Liu is extremely unwelcome to Zhu and Du, now the whole thing has started to have a clue.

  Wu Yong also had an expression of clearing away clouds and fog to see the sun, smiling and saying: "It seems that my two brothers have hindered this Mr. Liu's business, it's really not good."

  Sun Sixin shivered and said with a hanging head, "Manager Liu usually doesn't talk to us lower-level people much, so I don't know anything else." This kid is quite cunning, speaking like this serves two purposes: one is to push everything clean, and the other is to make his stance clear.

  Wu Yong waved his hand to dismiss Sun Si Xian and said: "Time is changing, brothers."

  "Alright."

  You go and search around within a few miles first to see if you can find those 8 people.

  "Alright." As he spoke, he pushed open the small window and jumped out. The window of the private room was originally for ventilation, and it could barely fit a cat. However, Shi Xian went out with ease, landing on the awning of a wonton stall downstairs. From there, his body flew towards the second floor, where he clung to a balcony, then leaped to the adjacent third floor. After several zigzags, he climbed up to the sixth floor across from him. His slender figure moved silently, just like a stray cat.

  I carefully asked Lu Junyi: "If this matter was indeed done by that little brat surnamed Liu, what do you plan to do with him?"

  Lu Junyi looked at Wu Yong and said, "Fortunately, Zhu Gui is not seriously injured..." I hastily nodded in agreement. Lu Junyi asked for opinions and said, "I think we can just remove the wooden arm?" Wu Yong said, "I agree."

  I fell on my butt and almost cried.

  Du Xing pulled me up and said, "Look at how angry Xiao Qiang is. Don't worry, after we catch the person, I'll let you take care of it yourself." I fell to the ground again, Du Xing asked me what was wrong, I said, "Nothing, I just need a break..."

  They are a group of bandits, they are a group of ruthless killers who don't bat an eye, they are a group of ruthless killers with only one year left to live. Calling them the underworld is an insult to them, they are darker than the mafia, more terrifying than terrorism, it's mountain stronghold-ism, their motto is "if you don't mess with me, I'll still mess with you". Although they always seem carefree and laughing, they absolutely do not take Zhu Gui's matter lightly. Right now 49 good men are sitting downstairs waiting for news, as soon as the confirmation comes, they will excitedly go kill...

  These days are unbearable, I might as well join the gang and become a bandit. Later on, I'll lead my wife, Baozi, and we'll be like the 109th and 110th heroes of Liangshan. My nickname will be Unhappy, and hers will be Brainless.

  Fortunately, they are from the Song Dynasty after all. Although there is Spider-Man's migration, it's not as fast as my brain - I just need a phone call to find that kid Liu Xuan. So their thinking can't keep up, Zhu Gui and others have phones too, but they didn't think of finding people with numbers.

  I have to take a step ahead and clarify things, so as not to be passive.

  I stumbled to the corridor with one hand on the wall, took out my phone and found Chen Kejiao's number. As soon as I dialed it, someone patted me on the back. Turning around, it was Du Xing. He said strangely: "What are you trembling for?"

  It turned out that my fingers were tapping on the phone, and Chen Kejiao's voice came out: "Hello? Mr. Xiao? What's the noise?" Fortunately, she didn't work as a spy, or else she would have thought I was sending Morse code, this plot is almost catching up with "Infernal Affairs".

  I pressed the phone and asked Du Xing where he was going. He said: "Song Qing got me a workshop for making wine, I'll go back and take a look."

  "What's going on here?"

  "Hey, you're talking about Zhu Gui's matter? It's a small thing, no need for me."

  As soon as Du Xing arrived at the dance hall, he was surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic dance fans, mainly young girls. When they heard that Du Xing was leaving, a group of people refused to give up, and two female fans with cars even almost fought over the right to send Du Xing back home.

  All the good men were in the hall, and when they saw me, someone beckoned me to sit down. I saw Lin Chong's relatives and walked towards their table. Halfway there, I was intercepted by Ruan Brothers and Zhang Shun. These three people were too funny because they hadn't had water for a long time. Their hair was all curled up, like they had put on a bowl of instant noodles. Zhang Shun weakly said: "Xiao Qiang, doesn't this place even have a well?" I hastily promised to take them to find water tomorrow.

  I arrived at Lin Chong's table, and Li Yun handed me a bottle of beer that he had opened and said: "This bar is too ordinary, it has no characteristics. Especially the decoration, it's all the same." It seems like he hadn't been to few bars in recent days.

  I said: "Then what should we do?"

  "At the entrance, four flat plaques are hung, with inscriptions written in seal script that read 'Time is money'. At night, four large lanterns are lit, with the words 'Wealth and treasure pour in' written on them. The waiters here all wear short jackets with towels draped over their shoulders, and when customers arrive, they greet them with a hearty 'Welcome!' The restaurant is furnished with rough wooden tables, and on the counter, a long row of jars is stacked..."

  I exclaimed in surprise: "Is this what you call a specialty?"

  Li Yun Dao said: "This is not a specialty in our place, but if you put it here? Doing business requires using your brain."

  Now that he mentions it, I think there's some meaning to it. A retro-style bar? Nowadays bars are all about individuality and taste, having a half-naked girl may make some small money, but can't keep regular customers, and it's not as attractive as hanging straw hats and chili peppers on the wall. And if Li Yun is going to decorate this bar, it won't be just simple retro, I'm afraid even archaeologists would have to admit defeat.

  I was thinking, when Baozi came over with a fierce momentum and said: "What are you running here for? I'm looking for you, are you going back or not?" Then she just realized there were people beside me, nodded to Lin Chong and others, and asked me: "Are they all your friends?"

  Lin Chong and the others were all smiling at me, I felt a bit embarrassed and said: "This is my wife." Baozi took the beer from my hand, clinked it with Lin Chong and Li Yun one by one, raised his head and drank a big mouthful, saying: "Nice to meet you for the first time."

  Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, along with a group of leaders, stood up to return the toast. At this time, the surrounding crowd responded by standing up, with dozens of people calling out "Sister-in-law", "Younger Brother's Wife" and "Miss". After finishing their toast, the sound of wine bottles being overturned filled the air, causing Baozi to jump in fright and whisper: "Are these all your friends?"

  Hui San Niang suddenly jumped up and said, "You're the wife of this little brat?" Bao Zi was startled, I told her: "Quickly call Third Sister." Hui San Niang loudly said: "Just call me Third Younger Sister, actually I'm only 23 years old this year."

  Baozi had already paid for a round of toasts, and her face was flushed. I told her: "You guys go back first, I'll stay with them for a bit longer, we're all university classmates, it's been several years since we last met."

  "When did you go to college?"

  "I said: 'Social University...'"
