On Sunday morning, Xu Xiaochen sat alone in the courtyard in a daze after his parents left the house.
The dream at night made him very uncomfortable. He actually dreamed that he was surrounded by many people and fought a bloody battle. When he woke up, he didn't know if he had broken out of the encirclement or not.
This also reminded him of what happened in the autumn of 1998 in his previous life.
At that time, Xu Xiaochen had just entered junior high school. One night, Xu Hongtu was attacked by a competitor in the Kuangqu. When the emergency happened, Xu Hongtu only had two people by his side. Even Shen Kun, who was the best fighter, was not by his side.
There were more than twenty people on the other side, armed with short sticks and sharp blades. Their goal was to break Xu Hongtu's legs.
Xu Hongtu was also a ruthless man. He could easily deal with five or six ordinary people by himself.
Xu Hongtu led two people to fight against more than twenty people. They were outnumbered. At this moment, Hong Tieshan from the brick house area appeared.
Hong Tieshan had fought in the Vietnam War, and his left leg was a little lame. At that time, Hong Tieshan alone had fought nearly twenty people.
Later on, Xu Hongtu and Hong Tieshan became very good friends…
At this moment in this life, Xu Xiaochen's heart was filled with warmth when he thought of Hong Tieshan, a veteran of the Vietnam War.
"Rebirth gave me a special body, allowing my speed and strength to far exceed that of ordinary people. It also seems to have increased my learning ability by several times. However, I don't know much about fighting after all, and I only know those unorthodox methods from my previous life. If only I could learn some powerful fighting techniques from Hong Tieshan.”
Xu Xiaochen pondered," In the future, my family and I will become richer and richer. There will be more competitors and enemies in our lives. We must have enough skills to protect ourselves and our family, Lin Xiaoyu and Zhang Caixia.”
Xu Xiaochen ran back to the brick house.
He went to the storage room where the famous cigarettes and wine were stored, took two Chinese cigarettes and two bottles of Flying Moutai, and left.
The gift was in the bag, and the passersby did not know what Xu Xiaochen was holding in his hand or where he was going.
"Xiao Chen, you're walking quite fast with your short legs. Where are you going?”
"I'm going to play with my classmates."
"Xiao Chen, my daughter had dinner at your house yesterday. There were hairy crabs, braised prawns, and boiled fish. Thank you. When will Auntie come to your house for dinner?”
"Auntie, you can go anytime. You're closer to my mom.”
"The son of Daxu and Jinzhi is already so good-looking at the age of 10. He will definitely be a handsome young man in the future. She was holding something in her hand and was not allowed to leave until she saw it.”A man who was a few years younger than Xu Hongtu stopped Xu Xiaochen.
"Uncle Wu, I can't show you the things in the bag.”
Xu Xiaochen wanted to run away, but Wu Zhiyong laughed and stopped him.
Seeing that Xu Xiaochen was about to cry, Wu Zhiyong made way for him.
Looking at Xu Xiaochen's back, Wu Zhiyong said,""This little fellow, I don't know where he's going. Little Chen, slow down. Don't fall!"
Wu Zhiyong suddenly remembered that he still owed the Jinzhi store a pack of red tea cigarettes. He walked lazily to Xu Xiaochen's store.
Although Xu Hongtu was a mine tycoon and a loan shark, he was very popular in the Lotus District and had a good relationship with his neighbors.
When the neighbors saw Xu Hongtu and Liu Jinzhi, they would not be afraid, nor would they avoid them. They would usually come over and chat warmly.
Xu Xiaochen was very cute when he was a few years old. When he played on the street, he was often held in someone's arms.
Xu Hongtu and Liu Jinzhi wouldn't cause trouble for the parents if Xu Xiaochen was teased to tears, or if the children fought and injured him.
Xu Xiaochen carried the gift and walked all the way. He was so anxious that he was sweating.
In front of him was the brick house of Hong Tieshan, a veteran of the Vietnam War. However, Xu Xiaochen had not thought about how he, a ten-year-old child, should communicate with Hong Tieshan.
Hong Tieshan was a friendly person, but he didn't interact much with people. In the eyes of the people, Hong Tieshan should be considered a rather strange person. He didn't have many friends. Usually, he sold pet birds at the flower, bird, fish, and insect market in the Lotus District. It seemed that he didn't earn much money.
Hearing the movement outside the door, Hong Tieshan walked out from the half-closed door. Seeing Xu Xiaochen carrying a bag, Hong Tieshan was stunned.
"The son of the Xu family, why did you come to my place? Xiao Chen, my house is almost two miles away from yours. Why are you here?”
"Uncle Hong, I want to buy a Hua Mei bird.”
"Come in, come in."
Hong Tieshan brought Xu Xiaochen in," Xiaochen, you came to buy a Hua Mei, but you didn't bring a birdcage. Why did you bring such a bag? Why don't you buy the birdcage as well? Your family is the richest, so you should buy the most expensive birdcage.”
There were dozens of bird cages hanging on the two rows of iron wires. Most of the bird cages had pet birds.
Among them, parrots, larks, and thrushes were the most common.
"Xiao Chen, choose a Hua Mei and a birdcage. I'll put it in for you. Take the Hua Mei home first. Then, when I go to your shop, I'll ask your family for money.”
"Alright."
Xu Xiaochen was here to become a disciple and didn't want his parents to know about it for the time being. However, Hong Tieshan suggested that his parents pay for it. This was because he didn't want to deceive a child.
Xu Xiaochen grabbed his bag and looked up at the pet bird in the birdcage.
Hong Tieshan had long noticed that the things in Xu Xiaochen's bag were cigarettes and alcohol.
This little fellow wasn't here to buy a pet bird, but to give a gift.
"Xiao Chen, you're not looking at the thrushes. Those are all larks.”
Hong Tieshan did not smile, but Xu Xiaochen's expression still made him smile.
At this moment, a woman in her forties walked out of the brick house.
Her appearance and figure were very ordinary. This was Hong Tieshan's wife, and her name was Chen Xiuling. She was a little dumb and didn't usually interact with people.
In Xu Xiaochen's impression, Chen Xiuling would always smile kindly when she went to his shop and rarely talked to anyone.
Later, the two families became very good friends, and Chen Xiuling also began to visit Xu Xiaochen's house.
When " Triumphant Midnight " was played on TV, Chen Xiuling would cry.
When they sang karaoke, Chen Xiuling sang " Song of the Moon."
At that moment, Chen Xiuling, who had been diagnosed with epilepsy and was not very bright, could not react in time. She looked at Xu Xiaochen blankly.
"Who is this? Oh…Why did the son of Big Xu and Jin Zhi come here to play?”
"Auntie Chen, I'm here to buy a lark.”
"Xiao Chen, didn't you want to buy a Hua Mei bird just now? Why did it become a lark?”Hong Tieshan was also saying in his heart,'You little fellow, you're not here to buy birds.'
