Yu Chengfei glanced at me and said, "You have been very soft-hearted since you were a child. Do you remember that autumn? We went to the back mountain to dig out bird nests and prepared to roast a few sparrows to eat. We were lucky and found a nest as soon as we entered the mountain. At that time, we caught two sparrows and found five cubs in it, which were only a little bit big." Yu Chengfei gestured with his hands and continued, "I was very happy at the time, saying that the cubs would taste better when roasted, and they would be especially fragrant when they were eaten one by one. In the end, you said that they were too pitiful, so you should not touch them and just take the two big ones away. I told you it was useless, the cubs would die without the big ones to accompany them. You took the five cubs home and said you would raise them yourself. But within three days, they all died."
I lowered my head and said nothing. Yu Chengfei continued, "At that time, you cried and wanted to bury them. I couldn't bear it, so I snatched the bodies away and threw them all into the furnace. For this reason, you ignored me for more than a week. Later, I spent thirty glass balls to let you continue to play with me." As he spoke, he shook his head.
"I know you mean I'm not cruel enough." I said sadly, "But real people are different after all. I hate myself so much for not being able to protect them. When I think about how much they trusted me, I..."
"It's not easy to be the boss." Yu Chengfei said: "If you want to be the boss, this kind of thing is bound to happen. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. To reach the top, you have to step on the bones of countless people, not only those of your enemies, but also those of your friends."
I shook my head: "I can't do it, I can't watch my friends fall." Yu Chengfei said: "Then do your best to protect the people around you." I asked: "How to protect?" Yu Chengfei waved his fist and said forcefully: "Kill everyone who may hurt your friends, so that you can truly prevent danger before it happens and minimize the probability of danger!"
I stared at Yu Chengfei in a daze, my heart was constantly stirring. Yu Chengfei continued: "You have to remember that this world is the law of the jungle. If you can't kill him, he will hurt you in return; instead of waiting for him to hurt you, it is better to kill him as soon as possible."
I exhaled and said, "Brother Yu, I admit that you are right. But I think I still can't do it." After all, the other party is also a living person, how can I kill him just like that? Now I am very good at fighting, but I don't necessarily want to beat the other party into a state of disfigurement.
"You need to know what kind of road we are on." Yu Chengfei gestured to a particularly narrow goat path: "There are cliffs on both sides of this road, and the food is only enough for a small number of people. If you want to beg for food on this road, you must kick the extra people off mercilessly, and you must use all means. Either you die or I live."
I took a deep breath. If I were walking on a road like this, someone with my personality would just be kicked down by others.
Yu Chengfei patted my shoulder and said, "If someone close to me died, I would do my best to avenge him, but that can't stop my determination to keep going. Even if I am the only one left in the end, I will move forward without hesitation."
I stared at Brother Yu in a daze. This kind of wolf-like spirit is something I was born without. Yu Chengfei put his arm around my shoulders and said, "I've always known that you're not ruthless enough, so I don't want you to charge at the front. Leave the killing to Yuan Shao and the others. As for you, just give me some advice in the back." I smiled bitterly and said, "I think my brain is not as good as yours." Yu Chengfei said, "That's because you haven't fully developed it yet, and I know your potential better than anyone else. But forget it now. You've become timid about this path, so stay away from us."
I didn't say anything. In fact, that's exactly what I was thinking.
"There's no point in saying this." Yu Chengfei patted my shoulder again: "I just hope you don't have so much pressure. As the boss, of course I have the responsibility to protect the people around me. But the world is not perfect. As careful as I am, I still hurt a lot of brothers." He yawned and sighed, "There were actually more than 20 brothers in our circle before."
I said in surprise, "Where are the others?" because there were only a dozen or so people I saw.
Yu Chengfei counted on his fingers and said, “Some are in jail, some are injured, and one... is dead.”
I gasped: "Dead?!"
"Yes, he died." Yu Chengfei said, "He died in a serious gunfight, and in the end, no one knew who the murderer was. The school concealed the matter and did not allow it to be reported, so the public did not know much about it. The police were too lazy to care, and they did a cursory investigation, and it became a headless case. In the end, we paid for his funeral, because he was an orphan since he was a child. To be honest, the fewer people around me, the more ruthless I will be. Because I know that once I back down, all my previous enemies will come to my door, and they will be even more miserable. So I can't shrink, I can only bite the bullet and go on."
After listening to Yu Chengfei's words, I was also shocked. Yu Chengfei, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, was under such great pressure. Especially the sentence "The fewer people around me, the more ruthless I will be" made me feel extremely shocked. After saying these words, Yu Chengfei lowered his head, probably sighing for the ups and downs he had gone through.
Now, it seems like it's my turn to comfort him.
I put my hand on Yu Chengfei's shoulder and called softly, "Brother Yu..." I wanted to say something comforting, but Yu Chengfei's head tilted down and fell directly on my arm. He actually... fell asleep!
