【170】 Bitter taste
The wound on Li Laoer's forehead was bleeding gurglingly, and his face was covered with large beads of sweat.
"Be merciful... be merciful!" He begged with all his last strength, "We didn't do it! We just heard about it! We don't know who specifically did it!"
"Then who knows?" I pinched his left eye a few percent harder, and the sound of the lens being damaged could be faintly heard, "If you can't even say a name, I'll take both of your eyeballs.
Dig them all out and feed them to the dogs!”
"Tie Xian!" He shouted hurriedly, "Go and ask Tie Xian! He is in charge of the affairs in the East District!"
"Iron Immortal?"
I heard Brother Gang say before that it is said that Tie Xian is as skinny as a stick insect. He is not very effective in combat, but he is good at calculations and is a strategist-type figure. The high school that Brother Gang was admitted to happens to be in Dongcheng District.
Could it be that it was really the work of someone from Tie Xian?
"What's his real name? Where can I find him!"
"I...I don't know! I only know that his surname is Tie! He went to other provinces to avoid the limelight because he committed a crime! I'm not lying, really!"
"Hmph, you'd better not lie! Because now I'm super, I don't have the patience!!"
The aftertaste of rage was still lurking in every cell of my body. I grinned and pinched the three fingers of my right hand together tightly. This force was enough to crush Li Laoer's eyeballs twice.
But before that, my right hand was pulled away by Shusha desperately.
She held one of my arms with both hands and tried her best to stop me.
Her eyes looked very sad under the moonlight, and a few drops of unknown blood splashed on her cheeks, like plum blossoms on the snow.
Only then did I feel wet and hot liquid flowing down behind my ears - obviously I was also injured in the fight.
"That's enough! Stop it!" She advised me while trying her best to pull me away from Li Laoer.
The boiling anger made it impossible for me to stay calm.
"I don't need a woman to tell me when to stop!"
I roughly shook off the squad leader, causing her to fall on her back and seem to have injured her ankle.
The cry she made because of the pain made me feel a little bit sorry. The Li Laoer in front of me was already seriously injured, and after being frightened, he rolled his eyes and passed out.
I turned back to look at Zhao Baldy who was lying on the other side. All the teeth in his mouth, whether they were porcelain or not, had been knocked out with a steel pipe. His crotch was wet and he had been unconscious for a long time.
"Where is that boy named Luo Ning?"
I had to ask the monitor who limped and stood up holding on to the wall.
The squad leader moved his gaze to the exit of the alley, "That person saw that the situation was not good and ran away..."
As a result, there is no conscious person available for questioning at the moment. It seems that I can only follow the clue of Tie Xian to investigate.
I decided to send the monitor home first.
Fortunately, her fall was not serious, and she soon no longer needed my help and was able to walk on her own.
The two of us walked under the intertwined street lights, neither of us spoke first. The monitor kept his head down the whole time, as if he was thinking about something important.
It wasn't until I sent the squad leader downstairs to her home that she stopped me and turned around to leave.
"Come upstairs and let me bandage your wound."
I touched the back of my head. The wound behind my ear was shallower than I thought. I was not seriously injured in Berserker mode this time. Could it be because I took advantage of using a weapon for the first time?
I waved my hand, "No need! For a bad guy like me, you'd better not lead a wolf into the house. You've also been frightened a lot, so take a good rest."
"Wait!" the squad leader stopped me again, "Which direction are you going? Your home is in the opposite direction, right?"
I said angrily: "What do you care about me? I'm upset and I have to go to a small restaurant to drink!" I pointed with my chin at the "Geely Kebab Shop" across the street, which was still open.
I don’t know why, but I really want to drink today. It seems that I have become an alcoholic like my father who never gets drunk again.
Suddenly I remembered something. When I took out my trouser pocket, I found that I was in a hurry when I came out today and didn't bring a penny with me.
So I carelessly extended my hand to the monitor: "Lend me some money and I'll pay it back to you tomorrow!"
The squad leader stood at the door of the unit, the voice-activated light behind her had gone out, and she looked at me helplessly.
The school rules clearly stipulate that students are not allowed to drink. Monitor, are you going to reprimand me severely? Is this how you treat your savior? Although, if I hadn't led you astray, I wouldn't have put you in such a crisis...
The monitor sighed.
"If you don't drink today, won't you go home?"
"Tch, forget it if you don't want to borrow it, I can always find a way!"
I made a move to leave, but the squad leader caught up with me from behind.
"Wait! If you insist on drinking, I'll treat you to it."
I was quite surprised when the monitor said that.
Although I know that the class monitor has always been stingy with herself and generous to others, but she did not stop me from openly violating school rules by drinking, and instead insisted on breaking the rules with me, which is really not in line with her usual style.
"Squad leader, are you scared out of your mind?" I said, "I'm going to drink! Do you know wine? It's the kind of thing that makes you drunk..."
"I know." The monitor interrupted me unhappily, then walked past me to the front and took me to the skewers shop as if leading the way.
She chose a seat by the window, took the menu and ordered a few side dishes, and then watched me ask the waiter for two bottles of beer.
"Two bottles are too many, one bottle is enough." She ignored my protest and said to the waiter seriously.
It turns out that you, monitor, were so kind as to invite me to drink. Your original intention was to sit here and monitor me, lest I drink too much!
Actually, I don’t know how much I drink because I don’t like the taste of beer, it’s bitter and astringent.
But I still want to drink it today.
Although it was very late, there were still bright lights outside the window, some people had just gotten off work, and there were many vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
The squad leader watched me pour myself a full glass of beer. Just when he was about to say something, I raised my neck and poured the horse urine-like liquid down my throat.
It’s so bitter, so bitter! Some people actually think this stuff tastes good!
There was still nothing to say between me and the monitor. She wanted me to drink some of the side dishes she ordered, otherwise it would hurt my stomach, but I ignored her.
She asked me if I wanted to order some kebabs to warm my stomach. I shook my head and said that I just wanted to drink this bitter beer today.
Damn it!
I have never considered myself a gangster, but today, my way of thinking is no different from that of an ordinary gangster.
Is it because I have been enemies with them and have fought too many times? To deal with ferocious enemies, I have to gain the necessary understanding. Have I actually been assimilated by them over such a long period of time? Or - I have suffered.
Brother Gang’s influence?
I suddenly thought of a question: Is Brother Gang considered a gangster? In my opinion, he is just an unqualified gangster. He neither collects protection fees nor harasses his classmates. As long as someone is willing to call him boss, he will do nothing. I don't care if I stand up for others all the time, even if there is no benefit, and I only get a few injuries...
It's the same even when you're in high school, right? It's not worth it for you to have your hand tendons broken just for the sake of being called the boss and having some false reputation. Brother Gang, you are really SB!
However, even if it is not worth it, even if Brother Gang is SB, we can only say it as brothers. Even if he is SB, he is still our boss.
In fact, I never really called him boss, and he didn't really treat me as his younger brother.
He didn't even let me drink beer with them and only let me drink Coke alone.
I drank beer today, but it tasted so bad! I don’t have the happy expression you have when you drink. Why is it so bad? Why is it so bitter and astringent?
I want revenge.
All I can think about now is revenge for Brother Gang. Before avenging Brother Gang, I even felt that I had no face to see him.
I raised my hand and drank another glass of beer. I drank so hard that I felt my eyes were a little sore.
"Ye Lin, I know you are very sad now."
The monitor put his elbows on the table and put his hands together in front of his lips. His posture was a bit like a nun's.
I didn't answer and continued to pour wine into the glass.
"Stop drinking." She frowned more tightly, "You will only get sadder the more you drink."
I said sarcastically: "Do you have a better way?"
The monitor was silent for a while.
"It will feel better if you cry."
"What?" I couldn't believe my ears. She actually made me, a seven-foot-old man, cry like a daughter?
"Suppressing emotions is bad for your health, I know." She said as if she understood me well, "When Xiaozhe encountered sad things before, I always encouraged him to cry."
Don't compare your brother to me! He even wears girls' clothes without shame! I'm not as girly as him!
"It will be much better if you cry." The squad leader did not give up, "Xiao Zhe used to cry on my shoulder. If, if you need it, I can lend you my shoulder..."
Why lend it to me? Do you want me to cry on the shoulder of my elder sister like a kid who was bullied outside? You can think of it!
And you are so unusual today! Last time I went to the vegetable market to help you carry groceries, you didn’t agree. You were just afraid that acquaintances would see you with a strange man. What happened today? Not only did you choose a seat by the window, Do you still allow me to hold your shoulder and cry? Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you?
When I sternly refused this proposal and poured the last bit of beer into the cup, the monitor reached out from above the table and pressed the hand I was holding the cup with hesitantly but firmly.
I raised my eyes and said, "Why? Are you so stingy that you only bought me a bottle of beer and didn't let me finish it?"
Chapter completed!
