Chapter 26
New knives are better than old knives.

Old knives also have names, but few people can remember the old knives from ten years ago. They are old in style, shabby, no longer sharp, and have a gap after a walk.Few will remember.

But there will always be a few of them that people will remember, nothing else, just better than a new knife.

Gangsters and martial arts are both rivers and lakes.

So after Wu Qing walked away with the knife, Zhang Ziqi quickly remembered who Zhou Zhihong was.

Red Mantis, one of the Nanyu Sanying, once tied with Nanyu Wujia's Duan Songshou Shi Hai, an older martial arts master who became famous more than ten years ago, and a murder fugitive.

I didn't think of it for the first time, because of this name, usually only storytellers would talk about it, and when it was unusual, he killed another policeman who wanted to arrest him. When the news came, people couldn't forget the power of his mantis claw .

For a moment, Zhang Ziqi fell into a mixed emotion of excitement and fear.

How could Wu Qing be so good at fighting?

Wu Qing will not die, will he?

The hours were restless, Zhang Zaiqi kept looking towards the end of the street from the gate of the communal house.

Not on, still not on.

The sun was setting.

"If you tell me not to go, I won't go, so am I a stupid grandson?"

The damp wind blowing from the Shuidong River gave Zhang Ziqi a headache, he spat out and spat out,
"Grandpa leaned over."

Then he said to Huo Yazi who was beside him,

"I'll go out for a while, not far away, just at the end of the alley."

It was far before the end of work, and there was no one in Gouxiang, only the occasional sound of springs and hawking in the distance.

In front of the house at the end of the alley.

Zhang Ziqi leaned against the door, with his ear pressed against it.It was silent.

Nothing?
Will fight, will fight, will die, how can there be no movement?

Zhang Ziqi scratched his ears and cheeks,
Zhou Zhihong, who kills people without blinking an eye, there must be at least four policemen who died in his hands-wait a while?
The wet wind blowing from Shuidong brought rain, and the coolness on Zhang Ziqi's face was increasing bit by bit, and the sun in the sky was covered by dark clouds bit by bit.

"Your mother...it's raining again."

Zhang Ziqi scolded softly, as if he was really scolding Yu.

The rain finally spread a curtain under the eaves.

"It's almost Xu time (seven o'clock in the evening), isn't it?"

Looking at the darkening sky, Zhang Ziqi gritted his teeth, didn't wait any longer, and pushed open the door.

bass!
The bloody red knife was thrown in front of him.

Just when he was in shock, Wu Qing's dumbfounded face appeared behind the dark door,
"Didn't I tell you not to come here?"

Wu Qing thought it was the short and fat man who left and returned, and was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Ziqi who opened the door.

Along with these words, there was also the smell of blood rushing straight into Zhang Ziqi's nostrils. He poked his head and took a look, and a big mouthful of saliva choked his throat.

He held on to the door frame, choked desperately, raised his head after a while, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and asked,
"Nan Yu Sanying?"

"Remember?"

Zhang Ziqi's eyes widened, "Is he dead?"

"you do not say."

"Then why are you still here?"

"Jiu Shoujian is not here."

"Oh, wait for his partner."

Zhang Ziqi understood, seeing the blood stains all over Wu Qing's body,
"Why do you have to find this sword?"

"I want to listen to music."

"Damn."

Zhang Ziqi suddenly became angry,
"Are you so fucking crazy? You are strong, you are powerful, you are a master of martial arts, the red mantis Zhou Zhihong even told you to chop off your head, you are so powerful, do you know that you will not be great in the future, look at your hands! I treat you as my own brother, and I have helped you so much, why don’t you even tell me a fucking reason? It’s dangerous for you to play gongs with me, but at least you can still earn a few dollars of lace every month, what are you doing now? Cutting life and death with a sword, cutting it into half a cripple? How can I explain to my mother? She misses you as a nephew, fell ill in bed, and let me take care of you."

Wu Qing was silent.In the eyes of Zhang Ziqi and Wu Laosan, he is the original owner.Treat him well and hate him, all because he is the original owner.But he is not.

Sorry, he just wants to go back.

Wu Qing leaned his sword against the door frame, and patted Zhang Zaiqi's shoulder with his right hand.

"Do you believe me?"

Zhang Zaiqi waved his hands away, cursing,
"Stop doing this."

Wu Qing patted Zhang Ziqi on the shoulder again,
"Trust me and help me again. Keep an eye on this room for me, it's convenient for you."

"Help you keep an eye on it, wait for someone to come and notify you to come over and give up one hand? Do you think I'm crazy?"

Although the severe pain in his arm made Wu Qing's temple throb non-stop, he still pretended to be relaxed,
"For the last time, after finishing this time, I will play gongs with you. It is so majestic to have a younger brother who can play like me. Zhou Zhihong's accomplice, the guy you have seen, is far worse than Zhou Zhihong. It's easy to level with one hand."

Zhang Ziqi remained silent.

Wu Qing stretched out his bloody left hand in front of Zhang Ziqi,

"I've been doing this to find this sword. Now you tell me to stop? Will you change it? If you don't, just help me this time. Keep an eye on it."

After Wu Qing finished speaking, he pushed Zhang Ziqi out of the room, tore off his blouse, wrapped it around the sword, and put it under his armpit. Without giving Zhang Zaiqi a chance to protest, he rushed into the cold wind with rain.

Zhang Zaiqi ruthlessly stroked his rain-drenched hair,
"Help your mother!"

After taking a few deep breaths angrily, he ran back to the commune house, shaking his hair in the rain.

Zhang Zaiqicai returned to the communal house from the back door, and Wang Agui, the leader of the Changing Gang, led the rest of the Changing Gang in angrily through the main entrance of the communal house.

For a while, the yard of the Changkou Gang community house was crowded with nearly 20 people, most of whom were young men.

Zhang Ziqi hurriedly greeted him, "Grandfather."

Wang Agui ignored him, threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, splashed the sewage, and yelled loudly,

"Fucking Yiwantang son of a bitch, the second and third are going to get the guy."

Zhang Zaiqi carefully moved to come back with Wang Agui, and changed his mouth to help the second and fourth child who was next to him in the 24th row, and asked,
"Brother 24, what's going on?"

Little Ersi had a look of anger on his face,
"We were looking for swords outside, and those bastards in Yiwantang took the opportunity to attack."

Wang Agui called Kuo Ya Zai to him,
"Is there no one here in Yiwantang?"

Just as Huo Yazi wanted to show his merits, Zhang Ziqi hurried over to stop him, and answered for him,
"No, no one is coming."

"Oh, their brains have always been difficult."

Wang Agui said contemptuously.

At this time, the second child and the third child came out of the West Room empty-handed, the second child did not shy away from others, stepped out of the room with a sullen face,
"Grandfather, one of the knives is missing."

After saying a word, Zhang Zaiqi felt that his soul was going to come out, every sweat hole on his back was covered with cold sweat, his calves were shaking, he looked at Huo Yazi, and Huo Yazi was looking at him.

Huoyazi shook his head lightly at him.

Wang Agui didn't think too much,
"You remembered wrong?"

The second child is very determined,
"That's right, the third child and I each counted twice, only three days ago, 25, now, 24."

Wang Agui frowned,

"Twenty four, go and count."

Xiao Ersi exclaimed excitedly,
"Grandfather, let's leave this alone, go and kill those bastards in Yiwantang first, it's just a knife."

Zhang Zaiqi's heart just dropped when he saw Wang Agui's whole face darkened, and he said in a long tone,

"Um--?"

almost word for word,
"I said, tell you to go, you go. Go!"

Xiao Ersi trembled, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak anymore, hurriedly entered the West Room, came out after a few breaths,

"24 knives."

"Count again."

Xiao Ersi enters the house again.

Wang Agui looked around at everyone in the yard,

"Okay, I can steal things now. This is not going to the streets to pick things up, this is stealing things from the house of our exchange gang, this is embezzling the gang's finances, and it is a bad rule. Whoever takes it, stand up for yourself .”

Xiao Er Si came out again,
"24."

"All stand up for me."

Wang Agui shouted loudly.

All the members of the Changing Gang immediately stood in two rows according to their height, with the left tall and the right low. The rain fell on them unscrupulously, and no one dared to complain.

The tall and tall Wang Agui walked in front of the queue and said solemnly,
"Don't think it's a trivial matter. Stealing the knife, breaking the rules, who took it? Stand up yourself, if I find out, the crime will be added! Second, third, fourth, you three come out, definitely Not you three."

The three of them immediately ran behind Wang Agui as if they had been pardoned, and stared at the others covetously.

Wang Agui's eyes swept over the faces of all the people in the Changing Gang, and no one dared to raise their heads wherever their eyes passed.
"No one will admit it, right? Don't think that you can get away with it. You live together every day. I don't believe that no one will see it. If no one admits it, one of you will count as the other, and you will all be subject to family law."

Zhang Zaiqi took a peek at Huo Yazi tremblingly, seeing that he did not move like the others, he was relieved, and just about to turn his head, he heard Wang Agui's voice next to him,

"is that you?"

Zhang Zaiqi was terrified, turned his head and found that Wang Agui was looking at Xiao Ersi beside him.

Xiao Ersi shrank her neck, shook her head desperately, and kept repeating,
"Not me, not me."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Wang Agui strode up to Xiao Ersi with a fierce look in his eyes,

"It must be you, right?"

Xiao Ersi still shook her head, her tone flustered, "Grandfather, did you make a mistake?"

"Am I mistaken?"

Wang Agui stared at Xiao Ersi in amazement, and the whole yard fell silent, as if the sound of the rain was a little softer, and everyone held their breath, not daring to let out a breath.

Xiao Ersi was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. In addition to being frightened, he waved his hands quickly,

"No, no, I..."

"Bitch."

With a roar, the pale Wang Agui slapped Xiao Er four times into the sewage on the ground like a palm fan, and then suddenly realized,

"I'll just say it. No wonder you just said what you said and don't worry about it. It turns out that you stole it. My second son, take the family law. Today I will teach you what rules are! Did I make a mistake?"

The second child bite the bullet and walked to his side,
"What about Yiwantang?"

Wang Agui slapped his forehead,
"Almost forgot the business..."

Wang Agui was in trouble for a while, Yi Wantang had to go there quickly, otherwise he would run away, and it would definitely not work to leave someone to enforce the family law, and they would rarely help others in exchange.

"Wang Wang."

At this moment, two dogs barking came from the corner of the courtyard, Wang Agui's northern fine dog Ada.

"Hmph, good luck to you kid."

Wang Agui casually pointed to the dog cage at the corner of the courtyard,
"Take Ada into my room, and then lock Ersi in. Also, the top of the dog cage was lifted. The others go get the knife and follow me!"

Together with the others, Zhang Zaiqi rushed into the West Room with his head down, not daring to look at the crying little Ersi who was being dragged along in the mud.
