Chapter 11

Seeing that Wu Qing was silent, Zhang Zaiqi scratched the back of his head, his mind was a little twisted, he didn't understand why Wu Qing didn't speak anymore, he scratched and fell silent suddenly, after a long while, he opened his mouth with difficulty,
"Didn't you think that we would change our name to be the one playing the gong?"

Wu Qing, who was worrying about the rain getting bigger and bigger, didn't notice that Zhang Ziqi's tone suddenly became dignified. When Zhang Ziqi said it himself, he nodded and said,
"Yes."

Despite expectations, Zhang Zaiqi's voice suddenly raised eight notes,
"I didn't expect us to be a gong player for the Changkou Gang, so you took me for a day? Then you took me to be a member of the Water Workers' Gang? Then you still want me to help you continue to inquire? Do you know..."

A louder rhetorical question came to an abrupt end, Zhang Zaiqi exhaled several times in a fit of anger, managed to hold his breath, and said: You killed me, it was already on the tip of his mouth, but he didn't say it, just worried The face does not speak.

Wu Qing was also taken aback. She didn't expect this incident to make Zhang Ziqi so angry. Thinking that Zhang Ziqi had led him around and helped him for a day, Wu Qing tentatively asked

"what happened?"

Zhang Zaiqi pointed his finger back and forth in front of Wu Qing, tried to open his mouth several times, but in the end he could only choke out a sentence,
"Forget it, you don't have a mother, I'll let you!"

Wu Qing scratched her hair and asked after a while,
"Then tomorrow morning, will I come to you, or you will come to me."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Ziqi was annoyed.

Wu Qing shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm in a hurry to go to Jacky Cheung's concert."

"Who is he?"

"Well, it's almost a song."

"Are you joking, just to listen to the music?"

"Yes."

Wu Qing patted Zhang Zaiqi on the shoulder,

"Then I'll wait for you at the advertisement painting tomorrow morning?"

"En." Zhang Zaiqi let out a sound from his nasal cavity, there was nothing extra to say, obviously still angry.

"That's fine, then I'll go first."

As the rain slowed down, Wu Qing took the opportunity to break into the drizzle.

Zhang Zaiqi looked at Wu Qing who was running away, angrily punched the wall beside him, and glanced at the house of the exchange gang not far away.

A dirty child ran past Zhang Zaiqi stepping on the mud, and behind him was a group of fur kids in similar clothes.

Even when he was rushing home in the rainy night, there was a string of laughter like silver bells.

Zhang Zaiqi couldn't smile, not only that, but he still hesitated in his steps, he didn't dare to take a step even though the communal house of the Changing Gang was not far away.

It was dark and hungry, and Zhang Ziqi, who lingered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and walked to the communal house of the Changkou Gang.

Three wooden sheds are used as the southeast and west houses, and a brick house is used as the north house to form a small courtyard. This is the community house of the Changkou Gang.

The exchange gang is not a small gang that relies on the bamboo poles of small stalls and hawkers, but it is not a big gang either.At least they were not included in the 28 public accounts of the ship gang in Yujiang.

There are only about 20 people, but compared with those real small gangs, the Changkou Gang occupies a whole Lingjiao Street.

A opium shop, three brothels not listed on the list, and a whole street of small shops all have to pay market profits (protection fees) to the exchange gangs with only twenty or so people.

Just because of one thing, Wang Agui, the leader of the Changing Clan, used to be a soldier, and what was practiced in the gang was the barracks.Another unique point is that all the members have to call the gang leader Wang Agui as grandpa.

Grandpa means father, and everyone in the Changing Gang is the adopted son of the leader Wang Agui.With this point, the Changkou Gang is several times stronger than other loose small gangs.This is also the reason for the name changer.

Join the gang for a change of mouth.

The gate of Changkoubang Cooperative House is in the southwest corner, and at the gate stands a young man with broken teeth who is shirtless like Zhang Zaiqi. The young man is called Toothless.

Compared with Zhang Ziqi, who has just joined the Changkou Gang for more than a month, Huoyazi is a veteran.The relationship between the two is good.

When Huoyazi saw Zhang Ziqi, he showed a surprised expression, went up to him and said,
"You got the egg (it's over), you dare to come back, today is the closing profit (protection fee), and you are looking for a sword. When you are busy, you dare to run around. Grandpa has been looking for you all day .”

Knowing that he violated the gang rules of not going out without orders, Zhang Ziqi forced a smile,
"This is my home, where else can I go?"

"your home?"

Exhausted Tooth Boy said gloatingly,

"When grandpa comes back, I think you still want to make this place your home."

"Grandpa isn't here?"

Zhang Zaiqi was a little pleasantly surprised, he pushed Kuo Yazi away and went into the courtyard,
"I'll talk about it when I come back, let me fill my stomach first."

Zhang Ziqi ran all the way to the south shed which was used as the stove. There were a few empty plates on the dining table in the south shed. It was obvious that the rest of the Changing Gang had finished their meal.

Zhang Zaiqi was so hungry that he hurriedly opened the rice bowl. Fortunately, there was still sweet potato rice.

A large spoonful of sweet potato rice was sprinkled with the leftover vegetable soup on the plate, and Zhang Zaiqi began to gobble it up.

Huoyazi followed in,
"I'm still eating. When grandpa comes back, you'll have to beat me up. Be careful to spit it all out."

Zhang Ziqi's cheeks were bulging, his voice was muffled,

"After eating this authentic meal, I'm a goddamn... I'm the master, I'm afraid of being beaten, I, Zhang Ziqi, have a hard bone!"

"Yo, how hard it is."

A joking voice sounded behind Zhang Ziqi.

Zhang Zaiqi almost choked, turned his head quickly, showing an ugly smile,

"It's the second brother, just...just joking."

All members of the Changing Gang are nominally Wang Agui's adopted sons, and they are considered brothers to each other.But brothers have different ranks, among them, the second, third, and fourth are the highest, and they often take care of the affairs of the leader Agui.It can be regarded as a change of mouth to help middle-level cadres.

As for Zhang Ziqi and the others, they are the last ones, and they have always been supervised, not others.

The second brother waved a three-way thick bamboo whip in his hand, seemingly jokingly,

"Which kiln did you go to find your soul?"

"Second brother." Zhang Ziqi's eyes followed the swing of the bamboo whip, his legs were trembling, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and smile,

"I went to find Jiu Shoujian..."

The second brother didn't laugh, and pulled Zhang Ziqi off the bench with his thick arm, Zhang Ziqi immediately fell to the ground, covered in mud.

"You deserve a sword too?"

The bamboo whip in the second brother's hand hit Zhang Ziqi on the head and face.

Zhang Zai rolled his head and neck on the ground, trying to avoid the bamboo whip.But it didn't work.

The whip in the second brother's hand was fast and accurate, every time the whip fell, there was a red and purple welt on Zhang Zaiqi's naked upper body.

For a moment, Zhang Ziqi's continuous screams resounded throughout the courtyard.

The second brother kept waving his whip and shouted,
"Today, I'll let you know why our change gang is the master of Lingjiao Street. It depends on the order and prohibition, and the rewards and punishments are clear."

A heavy whip fell.

Zhang Zaiqi stepped on the ground, and only crawled forward for a short distance, when the second brother stepped on his back, the pain made Zhang Zaiqi curl up.

He couldn't bear it any longer, tears were running down his delicate face, and he still didn't have the air of a day.

crunch.

The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo cloth gown and squinting his eyes came in with his arms around a heavily made-up woman and a small northern dog in the other.

The middle-aged man is Wang Agui, the leader of the Changing Gang.

The rest of the people in the courtyard shouted in unison,
"Grandpa."

The second brother turned his head quickly when he heard the voice, showing a flattering smile,

"Grandpa."

Wang Agui glanced at Zhang Ziqi who was on the ground, and hummed a few words from his nasal cavity,

"It should be disciplined and disciplined."

After all, he was about to walk to the only brick house in the courtyard, the North House, with his arms around the prostitute.

The prostitute in his arms moaned coquettishly, twisted in Wang Agui's arms, and said coquettishly,
"Oh, my lord, I heard the scream just now outside the courtyard, what a rebellious person, I'll call him a shrimp man, forget it."

Wang Agui laughed,
"It's kind-hearted, and the sound is really against people."

Zhang Zaiqi, who thought he was saved, raised his head to look at Wang Agui, but he didn't expect Wang Agui to say,
"But I've always been a fair person. If I make a mistake, I have to use my own methods. If it doesn't make a difference, how about it, second child, drag it out and beat it."

The second brother grinned, grabbed Zhang Zaiqi's arm, and dragged Zhang Zaiqi out of the courtyard on the muddy ground and in the heavy rain. After a while, there were screams over the courtyard wall.

If Wang Agui hadn't heard of it, he indifferently summoned Kuo Ya Zai, handed over the dog chain in his hand,
"Send Ah Da to the nest, and give him any leftovers to eat."

Huoyazi secretly glanced sideways at Zhang Ziqi who was being dragged out, bit the bullet,

"Zhang Ziqi hasn't..."

Wang Agui shook the dog leash,
"Ok?"

Huo Yazai trembled, didn't say any more, and quickly took the dog leash.
