The old people in Dongshan City call this barren mountain in front of them "Duck Butt Mountain", so its appearance is naturally not very elegant.

By the way, if I were tied here, there would be no need to put a black cloth over my eyes. Sure enough, it has become a habit of the underworld to act like this.

A certain municipal party committee leader once tried to transform this mountain into a scenic spot. As a result, as soon as they built the stone steps up the mountain and the pavilion on the top of the mountain, the mayor and deputy mayor were misfortune, and no one has seen them since.

The superstitious old man said that there is a mountain god in this mountain. He destroyed the vegetation on the mountain and made the mountain god angry, so he suffered such retribution.

I don’t know if they were afraid of the mountain god, but none of the subsequent leaders of the General Administration were willing to continue the transformation of the scenic area of ​​"Yatao Butt Mountain", so this half-finished project has been abandoned to this day.

I have always been curious about what the mountain god of Yatabuti Mountain looks like. Could it be a duck, like Donald Duck? Why does a duck not live by the river but on the mountain? The god’s intention is indeed not something that we and other mortals can do. Measurable.

The gangster trio escorted me all the way to the top of the mountain. Uncle Long and the thin man were fine, but the fat man climbed up the 250 steps and was a little out of breath.

Sure enough, he just looks like Sammo Hung and doesn’t have Sammo Hung’s physical strength?

When we reached the relatively flat top of the mountain (the so-called "Duck's Butt" area), Uncle Long pointed to the dilapidated pavilion standing in front of us and asked me to walk over alone.

I was not polite and strode over there. When I entered the pavilion, I discovered that there was a stone table and four stone benches in the center of the pavilion. A middle-aged man with a gloomy face was sitting on one of the stone benches.

He was wearing a well-tailored business suit, and he had a pen in his jacket pocket. I don't know if it was for signing a contract, but just by the appearance, I knew it was a luxury item.

This guy might have been a handsome man originally, but now his cheeks are thin, as if he has a serious illness. He occasionally coughs twice, which sounds particularly clear on the top of a mountain where the only birdsong is silent.

I guessed the other person's identity five or six times in my mind. I have always faced difficulties and never feared power. I walked over and sat on the stone bench opposite him, waiting for him to speak first.

The other party looked at me from top to bottom, like a bandit leader looking at me, a general looking at a soldier, or in other words, a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

"You are Ye Lin."

It's Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent, but having watched a lot of Hong Kong movies in my early years, I can barely understand it.

Even though they already knew my identity, they still wanted to ask me again in vain.

I didn't answer the meaningless question and asked instead: "You are Xiaoqin's father."

Huo Zhenbang, who is the master of the Sanhe Huiying Hall, saw that I was so bold at such a young age, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking me for being a calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"Young people should be polite and answer my questions first."

"I am Ye Lin, are you Xiaoqin's father?"

The tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no fear in it.

Huo Zhenbang nodded, "Yes, I am Xiaoqin's father. I came to the mainland this time to arrange the lives of Xiaoqin's mother and daughter."

I couldn't help but sneer: Back then, I ran to be my aunt when I was looking for flowers and willows, and now I come here to "arrange their lives" on my own initiative. How willful is this person?

Huo Zhenbang coughed twice more, picked out two capsules from a small square box, drank them with the mineral water on the stone table, and then continued:

"I heard that Xiaoqin and you were childhood sweethearts. She has always liked you."

If the violence she did to me when I was young can be interpreted as "like", then that's correct.

I nodded.

A wry smile appeared on Huo Zhenbang's lips, he covered his heart and said:

"I abused many girls from other people's families in my early years. Now my daughter has a boyfriend. It turns out this is such an uncomfortable feeling."

I don't know how to answer the question. There is an old saying: A man who fornicates his wife and daughter, and the wife and daughter are raped. Of course, it is very inappropriate to use it here.

"Why do your subordinates call Xiaoqin 'Second Miss'?" I asked the question in my mind.

Huo Zhenbang's eyes flashed with sadness, and he froze for a long time before he slowly said:

"Before Xiaoqin, I had a son with a dancer. He was very similar to me. I originally planned to train him to be my successor in the underworld, but last year, he started fighting with the mafia in the United States. After a conflict, he was actually poisoned and assassinated."

The most painful thing is for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift. In this way, the gray silver threads on Huo Zhenbang's temples can be explained.

"I will never let go of my revenge for killing my son." Huo Zhenbang, who was dragging his weak body, saw the flames of anger in his eyes for the first time, "But you must also know that in this case, Xiaoqin will be my only child."

I suppressed the arrogance I had used to embolden myself and listened carefully to what he said.

Huo Zhenbang gestured with his hand like a pistol, pointing weakly but seriously at me.

"I know best what a man is. If you dare to treat my daughter badly, I will do it to you."

My heart skipped a beat. If it were the first two months of this semester, what I did could definitely be called "bad for Xiaoqin". At that time, I didn't know that Xiaoqin's father was a gangster. Now that I think about it, , I was risking my life at that time, I could be tied up in a black car in any minute, and people would never see me again.

"I, I feel better about Xiaoqin now..." I hurriedly defended.

Huo Zhenbang squinted his eyes as if he didn't believe it, "No matter how wronged my daughter is from you, as long as she complains to me, I will bury you alive."

I trembled all over and subconsciously searched for the top of Yatabutu Mountain to see if there was any big hole that had been dug.

I thought to myself: Since I bullied Xiaoqin so much at first and she didn't even file a complaint, now that my attitude has changed for the better, there should be no chance of me being buried alive.

Huo Zhenbang seemed to have seen through my psychological activities and said sharply:

"It's your duty to be nice to her, but you can't use it to belittle my daughter just because your relationship has warmed up. If you dare to get my daughter into bed, I will break your third leg."

I was so shocked that I almost covered my lower body with both hands. I was only one step away from getting the daughter of a gangster boss into bed.

Unlike what Aunt Ren said, if I make Xiaoqin's belly bigger, she would crush my father's balls. Huo Zhenbang really has the ability and determination to break my third leg. He has already Having lost a son, he is already crazy with love for his only daughter.

I lied with a pale face: "We are just junior high school students. Most of the energy of junior high school students is vented through sports. We will never taste the forbidden fruit."

"Stop trying to lie to me." Huo Zhenbang said, "You have a face full of dissatisfaction with desire. What is a 14-year-old man thinking about every day? Can I tell you, have you ever touched Xiaoqin?"

You shouldn't say secret words in front of Mingren. Besides, I was a little ashamed, so I had to lower my head and admit: "I touched it once..."

Huo Zhenbang's face showed an expression of "Sure enough," and he didn't ask me specifically where I touched my daughter, but asked: "Which hand was used?"

I answered honestly: "I used both hands..." Then I suddenly realized that Huo Zhenbang was not planning to chop off the hand I used to touch her daughter. If I had known, I wouldn't be so honest.

Huo Zhenbang tensed his chin tightly, was silent for a while, and hummed:

"You have even done this kind of thing, which means you have already made up your mind to marry my daughter in the future."

I was stunned, "This..."

Huo Zhenbang suddenly changed his expression, "Why, you want to be irresponsible, even the daughter of the underworld can touch you whenever you want."

I was at a loss for words and had to lower my head.

Gusts of mountain wind blew, and Huo Zhenbang's eyes were bloodshot and he coughed twice.

"Let's get married after you graduate from high school." Huo Zhenbang made arrangements for me and Xiaoqin without any negotiation.

"But you are not allowed to touch Xiaoqin's body before you get married. If you have the mentality of leaving as soon as you get an advantage and let my daughter have trouble, I will kill your whole family."

Well, I'm not such a scumbag that I would cheat on Xiaoqin and then abandon her. Besides, if you want to kill my whole family, Ai Shuqiao who is far away in the United States is also my direct relative. , the passionate collision between the two evil forces of China and the United States will be quite a lively scene.

"Also, you are not allowed to date girls other than Xiaoqin, before or after marriage." Huo Zhenbang continued to ask me, "If you can't treat Xiaoqin wholeheartedly, I don't need to repeat what will happen to you. Let’s do it again.”

Hey, you who call yourself a father-in-law are really arrogant in your actions. You were extremely romantic before and after marriage, and you even had a son with a dancer. But in the end, you treated your son-in-law like a saint, right? My youth has just begun, okay? Don’t fix my future life.

A strong sense of resistance inevitably arose in my heart.

"Xiaoqin calls my father Uncle Ye, and I will also call you Uncle Huo. Uncle Huo, does Xiaoqin know that you kidnapped me and brought me here?"

"There's no need for Xiaoqin to know, she doesn't even know I'm coming to the mainland."

"So, you are the one who made your own decision. Although Xiaoqin is your daughter, the elders should not take care of everything between children. Shouldn't we leave some room for free choice?"

Huo Zhenbang's upper body suddenly rushed towards me across the stone table and grabbed the collar of my coat. He stared at me with a very scary look and said word by word:

"If I ask you to marry Xiaoqin, you will get married, and the first boy born will have my surname. You will want his surname to be Huo, and I will leave my family business to him."

"Why, why?" My collar was pulled painfully, and the atmosphere at this time was even more uncomfortable.

"Because, it is impossible for me to have any other descendants."

Huo Zhenbang shouted to me with an extremely sad tone.

"Because of the pain of losing a child, I hung out in nightclubs and was infected with AIDS by two foreign girls. It was difficult for me to have healthy offspring. With this disease, my last hope of remarrying with Hongli no longer existed. Yes, can you understand how I feel now?"

The spit spit sprayed into my face. Although I knew that the chance of contracting AIDS through daily contact was almost zero, I still thought to myself, no wonder after the rumor that I had AIDS spread, by the time I was 28 There are fewer and fewer gangsters looking for trouble. It turns out that suffering from AIDS is such a deterrent.

After the excitement passed, Huo Zhenbang threw me back and said:

"I have a lot of money, so AIDS is more like a chronic disease to me. Since former NBA star Magic Johnson can fight AIDS for 20 years and recover to the point where HIV is no longer detectable, then I may not be able to I will definitely die here. Even if my physique is not as good as Johnson's, I can live for at least another ten years, so..."

He pointed at his eyes with two fingers, then turned his fingers and pointed at me.

"In the remaining years of my life, in addition to avenging my son, I also want to arrange a good home for Xiaoqin and her daughter. Anyone who dares to bully Xiaoqin and Hongli is going against me, Huo Zhenbang, and I will make him die a bad death."

Suddenly I am worried about my father's safety. Is letting Aunt Ren get pregnant unexpectedly considered bullying her? But since Huo Zhenbang is infected with AIDS and can no longer remarry Aunt Ren, then let Aunt Ren marry a man who will treat her sincerely. Wouldn't it be considered as giving her a good home?

Although I thought so in my heart, of course I didn't dare to say it out loud. I hope Huo Zhenbang doesn't know about it yet.

Huo Zhenbang’s admonishment to me on “Duck Butt Mountain” was no less than God’s “Ten Commandments” to Moses on Mount Sinai. When I was released, I felt like I had been bound by invisible shackles.

I opened the phone that Uncle Long returned to me and found three unread text messages on it.

The first one is from Amy: "Damn manservant, where have you been? Why didn't you answer my call?"

I replied: "Something happened suddenly. I'm going home first. I'll go to Qingzi Academy to see you another day."

The second is a fraudulent text message: "Dad, I was caught soliciting prostitution outside, and my mobile phone was confiscated. Quickly transfer the bail fee of 50,000 to the Bank of Communications card of 622XXXXXXXXX..."

In order to swindle money these days, they are willing to treat themselves as grandsons, let alone sons.

The third message was sent to me by Xiaoqin: "Classmate Ye Lin, the underworld is finally willing to return Brother Optimus Prime to me. Now that you come to my house, you can taste the cooking skills I have worked hard to practice, and take the opportunity to cook Optimus Prime." Brother Tianzhu, take him back."

Nonsense, the underworld is obviously with me, so they didn't return Brother Optimus Prime to you. Brother Optimus Prime has been in your hands from the beginning to the end.

However, because I forced myself to hug the squad leader, I have no shame in going to her house to have dinner with her recently. Although Xiaoqin's cooking skills are much worse than those of the squad leader, she is still better than me.

The most important thing is that Xiaoqin promised to return Optimus Prime to me this time. Although I can only believe half of her words, I can't miss the opportunity to reunite with Optimus Prime.
