I replied with two words: "Thank you." and then deleted the text message quietly.
The next few days were relatively peaceful. Nie and Qiu still scheduled battles from time to time, but Nie Yuanlong never arranged for me to fight again. I don’t know if he was worried about my safety or if he had discussed it with Qiu Feng. After I went to fight, the battles between the Four Red Sticks and the Three War Generals never went wrong. I had nothing to do every day, so I read the books from Yuan Xiaoyi over and over again. I always liked to read foreign masterpieces, and I was proud of it, thinking I was very high-end. After reading many famous domestic novels from Yuan Xiaoyi, I found that there are actually many awesome writers in our country.
This morning, I was reading "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". I had just read for a while when my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. This was my second year in Beiyuan City. Some people had already used cell phones, but most people still used IC cards to make calls, so I often received such unfamiliar calls and I immediately picked up and said "Hello".
"The king of heaven covers the earth." Xiao Mao's voice came from inside. This was the secret code we agreed upon.
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms." I answered immediately, indicating that I was safe here and you could tell me what you wanted to say.
"Brother Hao, are you free? Come out and meet me."
"Okay, let's go to the open-air basketball court five hundred meters away." It was the basketball court where I chatted with Xia Xue's father last time.
After hanging up the phone, I put the book into the desk drawer, said goodbye to Li Xiaojie and the others, and left the classroom. When I arrived at the basketball court, Xiao Mao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw me, he greeted me enthusiastically: "Brother Hao, you are here." Seeing his happy face, I knew that he must have brought some important news and was happy about the 200 yuan he was about to earn.
"Tell me, what's the news?" He and I found a corner in the stands and sat down. There was no one around.
"Didn't Zhang Yunfei use usury to control Liu Xiangrong? Recently, he was planning to let Liu Xiangrong do something to repay the loan." Xiao Mao said while rubbing his hands, his eyes looking at my pocket from time to time. What a money-grubber.
I directly took out two hundred yuan, and Xiao Mao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hehe." I laughed: "No wonder Liu Xiangrong has been covered in bruises these days. He must have been beaten by the loan sharks hired by Zhang Yunfei. I wonder how much money Liu Xiangrong owes now?"
"At the beginning, I only owed 20,000 yuan, but now..." Xiao Mao laughed twice, and was particularly gloating: "At least 100,000 yuan!" I was also shocked when I heard it. It increased so quickly? This is too dark. Xiao Mao continued: "Liu Xiangrong, that idiot, was simply cheated. He didn't even hear clearly whether it was a monthly interest rate or a daily interest rate before borrowing. As a result, he ended up in such a miserable state now..." It turned out that these idle people found by Zhang Yunfei pretended to be members of the Black Tiger Gang in the south of the city to lend money outside. The Black Tiger Gang can only be regarded as a second-rate force in the south of the city, but Liu Xiangrong can't afford to offend them at all. Even if Liu Xiangrong knew that he was cheated, he dared not speak out, and he didn't dare to tell Nie Yuanlong. Moreover, Nie Yuanlong would not care about him if he owed such a large sum of money, so it would be useless to tell him, and he might even be kicked out of the gang. Liu Xiangrong could only take care of this matter by himself. So, these social thugs pretending to be members of the Black Tiger Gang scared Liu Xiangrong to death after a few times, and he naturally did whatever they asked him to do.
"So, what exactly does Zhang Yunfei want Liu Xiangrong to do?" I asked, thinking, it can't be to assassinate Nie Yuanlong, Liu Xiangrong probably wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if he was obsessed. At this point, Xiao Mao's expression became a little serious, and he said seriously: "Brother Hao, don't blame me if I tell you." I widened my eyes, what does this mean, could it be...
"Liu Xiangrong's mission is to kill you."
"Get rid of me?!"
"Yes, cut off your hand and foot tendons." Xiao Mao said: "Liu Xiangrong's knife skills are very good, it's easy for him to do this."
"Liu Xiangrong agreed?"
"What else can he do if he doesn't agree? He can't afford to offend the people from the Black Tiger Gang - doesn't he know that it's fake?"
"Fuck!" I cursed loudly: "Liu Xiangrong, this idiot, I provide him with cigarettes every day, and this idiot actually wants to cut the tendons of my hands and feet?! He is such a fucking wolf cub that can never be tamed!" I cursed and swore, venting my dissatisfaction.
Xiao Mao's eyes widened, looking at me in disbelief. I suddenly shut up, realizing what the problem was, and quickly took out another 200 yuan from my pocket and gave it to him: "Swear to me, you will never tell anyone that I'm the one who supplies Liu Xiangrong with cigarettes every day!" Xiao Mao immediately put the money away, raised his hand and said, "I promise I won't tell anyone." Damn it, I think other people gave him some benefits, so he told this.
But now is not the time to think about this. I have to go back and think about how to deal with Liu Xiangrong. After telling Xiao Mao "please inform me if there is any news", I immediately hurried back to school, and then armed myself in various ways, with a dagger in my pocket, an iron rod in my sleeve, and a steel knife in my back, which made it very inconvenient to walk. Then... then I was stupid, because I didn't know when Liu Xiangrong would take action, so I could only wait for him to come.
The key point is that Liu Xiangrong did not show any abnormal behavior. He still came twice at noon and in the evening, asked me for a cigarette and then huddled in the corner to smoke. Especially at night, this guy squatted in the corner to smoke, and it seemed that his eyes were glowing green. I became more nervous at this time. I touched the steel knife in the quilt with my hand, thinking that if this guy rushed over, I would immediately pull out the knife and chop him. But he didn't. After smoking, he left, and as usual, he groveled and said, "Thank you, Brother Hao." Then he carefully closed the door. Then I wondered, is this guy going to take action?
