C18 The Big Dream of a Nobody
Xu Xin really had the talent of a housewife. When she entered the kitchen, she only took a few minutes to stir-fry four or five side dishes. She called the two men over to eat.
"En, one word, absolute!"
Tang Bohu tasted a mouthful of food and immediately praised, "Elder Sister Xin's cooking is really excellent!" Under Xu Xin's strong request, Tang Bohu could only change the way he addressed sister-in-law to Elder Sister Xin! Girls were thin-skinned, Tang Bohu could understand.
"Of course, let's see whose wife she is!" Zhou Jie boasted shamelessly. It was as if Xu Xin's cooking skills came from him. She was wearing a glorious halo all over her body!
"Don't try that!" Xu Xin rolled her eyes at Zhou Jie, and then immediately called out to Tang Bohu, "Feng, eat more. Ignore him, this is his character!"
Zhou Jie took out a bottle of wine as if he was performing a magic trick. He smiled and said, "Feng, come. Let us drink to our heart's content today!"
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Jie's face was already red from drinking. However, his face was full of smiles. He had long forgotten about Gangzi's betrayal and only cared about drinking to his heart's content!
"Feng, what kind of job do you plan to find?" Xu Xin also had a certain understanding of Tang Bohu's situation and immediately asked.
Tang Bohu thought for a while. To be honest, he had just come into contact with this modern society. Tang Bohu really could not think of any job suitable for him to do, even though he said he wanted to do it. However, Tang Bohu did not have any confidence either! "I didn't think about that either."
Xu Xin pondered for a moment. "According to your situation, you still need to go back to college. You can only find a part-time job. But it's hard to find a good part-time job now! " Xu Xin thought for a while and said," How about this? I'll go back and ask the boss to see if he's recruiting or not. He wants you to go to Painting Hall to help. "
Painting Hall? Tang Bohu's eyes lit up. This name was quite suitable for him! He immediately nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Sister Xin!"
He had met a benefactor when he went out! Tang Bohu sighed emotionally in his heart. Compared to other people who were deceived the moment they went out, I, Tang Bohu, am much luckier! Haha - Talents are indeed different!
This time, the two men, one big and one small, drank quite a bit. Zhou Jie was already staggering under his feet, almost losing his balance. He even shouted to get rid of Tang Bohu. How awe-inspiring.
"Brother! Do you know that today is the only time I have drunk so happily in the past few years?"
Zhou Jie suddenly put down his cup and staggered out of the balcony. He looked into the distance. The cool breeze seemed to wake Zhou Jie up a lot. Zhou Jie's expression also gradually became serious as he looked at the sky. His face was filled with loneliness.
"It's been three years! Unknowingly, three years had passed just like that. Little Monkey, Fatty, Big Brother has let you down! "
Zhou Jie seemed to have thought of something. He faced the sky and shouted, crying out the names of several people! A few tears unknowingly squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.
What was it that could make a man with flesh and blood shed tears? Tang Bohu seemed to be influenced by Zhou Jie's emotions as he quietly stood beside Zhou Jie. He didn't speak, because he knew what Zhou Jie needed right now. It was a listener who listened to the emotions he held in his heart.
"Feng, do you know? Big Brother did something wrong three years ago, and did something that I would never be able to forgive myself for!" Tears were streaming down Zhou Jie's face. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "This matter caused me to lose my most precious brother!"
Zhou Jie's face was filled with disappointment and frustration. His eyes were red. Under the anesthesia of alcohol, he said in a hoarse voice, "Three years ago, the Army Soul Gang that I established had a small scale and occupied the Night Street!
At that time, I was in high spirits because I saw the Army Soul Gang growing in my hands. More importantly, I have a group of brothers who can go through life and death with me! Little monkey, Fatty, Dazhi, they were all my loyal comrades when I was in the army!
With the help of our combined efforts, my ambition gradually swelled. One Night Street is not enough to satisfy my appetite. So... I proposed an expansion! External expansion! I didn't expect that this decision would cost my brother's life!"
At this point, Zhou Jie's entire body trembled as he covered his face with both hands. It seemed like he had truly touched the man's sore spot!
"My decision has received the support of all my brothers. So... I also have enough confidence that one day, I will make my own world appear! " Zhou Jie's words were almost shouted out. It seemed like... He had been full of ambition at that time.
"But..."
Zhou Jie's face was blank, as if he had returned to the past. "The Army Soul Gang suffered a thunderous blow the moment we took the first step out of the Night Street! I never thought that my opponent would have such strength!"
Zhou Jie murmured, "That night, almost all the brothers of the Army Soul Gang were killed! All of them were wiped out! "
Zhou Jie used his fist to pound his own chest and wailed," Little monkey, Fatty and the others wanted me to escape, they all... "
Zhou Jie could no longer continue. He covered his face and cried bitterly. In his mind, he recalled the scenes that he had seen for the past three years.
His brother, in order to protect him from escaping, did not hesitate to use his own body to block the enemy's attack! That gaze that was filled with hope, that hissing cry that was filled with hope, that trace of eyes that were filled with despair.
"Boss! Quickly retreat!!" Zhou Jie did not forget that the little monkey was almost out of breath. He even hugged the enemy's leg to buy himself more time to escape, even if it was only for a second!
"Those are all my brothers! They are all my brothers!"
Zhou Jie had vented all his emotions today! His eyes were red as he roared and screamed. In the end, he squatted on the ground. Who could understand? This seven-foot-tall man had been carrying this burden for so many years... How heavy was his heart!
Tang Bohu quietly listened to every word Zhou Jie said. He was also influenced by Zhou Jie's emotions. However, he could not say any words of comfort because... A real man, he did not need comfort, he could stand up! Tang Bohu placed his hand on Zhou Jie's shoulder, giving him a trace of spiritual support!
About ten minutes passed.
Zhou Jie slowly stood up. The ferocious expression of pain on his face was gone. Instead, it was calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
Tang Bohu understood in his heart that this did not mean that Zhou Jie had forgotten about the past. On the contrary, he buried these things in his heart again. In these three years, this hot-blooded man had been licking his wounds alone.
"The street in front is Night Street!" Zhou Jie's voice slowly sounded and pointed in a direction.
Since they were on the eighth floor, they could see the scene from the balcony. Tang Bohu looked in the direction where Zhou Jie was pointing.
Looking down from above, there was a bustling crowd. A wide street appeared in Tang Bohu's sight, straight and long. It was daytime now, so it was impossible to see the difference between this street and other places.
"Night Street, as the name implies, only at night will his true face be revealed!"
Zhou Jie seemed to understand what Tang Bohu was thinking and continued, "During the day, there is nothing different about it in other places. Furthermore, it is more lively than many other streets!
However, at night, that place became a place of wind and moon! There were all kinds of things inside! There were even more fighting! The scene of bloodshed was a common occurrence at night in Night Street! There was also a saying on the road: The road to Night Street was paved with fresh blood!
Some people had joked that if an outsider with an arrogant attitude walked from the head to the tail of the Night Street and did not encounter any provocation, if he could still stand up, then the Night Street would not be the Night Street anymore! "
" Feng, do you know why I founded the Army Soul Gang? " Zhou Jie changed the topic and shifted the topic from Night Street to himself.
Tang Bohu didn't answer, nor did he need to. Zhou Jie continued, "It was for the sake of my dream! Or rather, it's just a vague idea!"
Zhou Jie's face showed a trace of bitterness, "I joined the army at 15 years old and became a soldier for four years. When I entered society at the age of 19, I thought that the people in this society were like brothers in the army. I can treat them sincerely! But after so many years, after a few years, I finally understand this world! "
Zhou Jie seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, but his face suddenly became ferocious again. " It was really dark! There were more corrupt officials than ever! The underground forces were even more rampant! The law was just a way for powerful people to rule! It can play a f * cking role!"
" After many setbacks, I made a decision. This decision will make me lose my brother overnight. I want to establish a gang in the underworld! I will rule the underworld with the underworld! I hope that one day, my Army Soul Gang will be able to lead the underground forces. Then, through it, we will eliminate all the cancer in our country. We will return the favor to the public! "
"Although the idea is good, it will be difficult to do it! The underworld is too deep this time, and there are many higher level existences involved. With just me, a mere retired soldier, what kind of waves can I create? "
Zhou Jie mocked himself. He looked at the busy city below and was lost. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Tang Bohu was in awe of what his brother, whom he had just met, had done. How much pressure would an ordinary person have to endure if he had such an ideal and worked hard to realize it?
However, Zhou Jie had done it!
Although it was a failure, what Tang Bohu respected was Zhou Jie's spirit!
"Big Brother Zhou, do you regret it?" Tang Bohu suddenly asked.
