My heart was pounding, but I pretended to be calm and said, "I won't go for such a small matter." Xiao Zhishan looked at me meaningfully and said, "Master Hao, at the critical moment, you can't be soft-hearted. If you are too lazy to help, then I will go."
To be honest, I don't have any sympathy for King Kong. Just like Yu Chengfei said, this road is very narrow and can't accommodate so many people, so we can only keep kicking them off the cliff. Since King Kong has chosen this road, he must be prepared to be kicked off the cliff at any time. I didn't say anything, which meant I agreed to let Xiao Zhishan do whatever he wanted.
Life returned to normal. I still sold my own beer and snacks, but Sun Dafei and his gang often brought gangs of hooligans, saying they wanted to join me and follow me in the future. I drove them away again and again, but Sun Dafei came with different people again and again. "Brother Hao, this is Tianji, he is very ruthless, he wants to meet you." "Brother Hao, this is Black Panther, he has heard of your name for a long time and wants to be your little brother." "Brother Hao, this is..." I was so annoyed that I asked Sun Dafei to call all these hooligans over on an evening that was not so hot and not so busy.
Sun Dafei said with a beaming face: "Brother Hao, the King Kong has fallen, Xiao Zhishan is old, Dongguan Town is waiting for you to carry the flag!" The other little hooligans nodded. I lay on the rocking chair, rocking under the setting sun, watching these little hooligans who were about my age, full of ambition and domineering. On the streets of Dongguan Town, you can often see them, arm in arm, smoking and spitting, and swearing at every turn, thinking that they are the most awesome people in the world.
"Want to hang out?" I yawned, fanned myself with a paper fan, and looked at them lazily.
"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison, looking at me expectantly.
"Are you afraid of death?" I continued to look at them lazily.
"Don't be afraid!" everyone shouted in unison, attracting the attention of other vendors and people in the market.
"Okay." I took out a steel knife from under the rocking chair and threw it in front of them: "Go chop off one of King Kong's hands. Whoever chops it off will be qualified to follow me." The steel knife shone coldly on the ground, but no one dared to pick it up. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No one was brave enough to chop off another person's hand, especially King Kong's hand.
"Go back and practice your courage. You won't make it this way." I waved my hand and closed my eyes. Then footsteps sounded and people dispersed. I didn't really want them to chop off King Kong's hand, I just wanted to find an excuse to drive them away. Now it seems that my goal has been achieved. When I opened my eyes again, there was no one in front of me. I stood up, picked up the steel knife on the ground that no one had picked up, walked into the store with my hands behind my back, and continued to work on trivial tasks.
Ten days had passed since the battle that night, and I clearly felt that my status in Dongguan Town was different. People would point fingers at me when I walked on the street. The person who defeated King Kong with a fire axe in Nan Guoyuan quickly became the topic of conversation for countless people after dinner. After a thousand changes, my image was portrayed in various versions, and some people said that the way I raised the fire axe was particularly like Guan Erye holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in the Three Kingdoms. This very unimaginative metaphor made me feel so ashamed and embarrassed that I found a Guandi Temple and kowtowed to him: "Guan Erye, they are all nonsense. Don't take it seriously. I am not even as good as your toes."
When walking on the road, everyone has great respect for Guan Erye, and I am no exception.
Although, I don’t consider myself a gangster.
More than ten days have passed, and there has been no news about King Kong. Since Xiao Zhishan said he wanted to chop off one of King Kong's hands, there has been no news of him, and no one knows whether he succeeded. But he probably didn't succeed, otherwise the news would have been spread long ago, and Sun Dafei, the big mouth, would have told me long ago. I clearly said that I would not accept younger brothers, but Sun Dafei still came to my shop to help all day long. His father, who was a decorator, was very angry. He came to catch him a few times, beating him and scolding him: "I haven't learned the skills yet, and you come here to sell spicy hot pot?" But even so, Sun Dafei still came to my side all the time.
One time when I had some free time, I asked him, "Why is there no news about King Kong these days?" I really wanted to know what Xiao Zhishan was doing.
"Big King Kong." Sun Dafei said, "Didn't you slash him on the back with an axe last time? I heard that he was afraid that you would slash him again later, so he went to a hospital in another city to recuperate. Some people said that they saw him in Xiguan Town. He didn't dare to lift his head when walking. I guess he won't dare to come back in the future. Brother Hao, you are still so powerful. You scared Big King Kong with just one axe and he didn't even dare to go back to Dongguan."
I sneered. I could only blame him for being spineless. As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you. It was his bad luck that he was defeated by me.
Sun Dafei added: "By the way, Brother Hao, your order has been passed down, and there will always be someone who dares to do this!"
I was confused and asked, "What order?"
Sun Dafei said, "Didn't you say last time that only those who cut off King Kong's hand are qualified to follow you? Now there are several vicious people who are ready to take action. They are looking for King Kong all over the street these days."
I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. I never thought that a word I said casually could make all the hooligans in the town take action. It was from that time that I realized that when a person's status reaches a certain level, he must not speak casually. The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. It is inevitable that some people will take my words as a token of support.
