I sat on the bed, lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, I fell into deep thought.
"Brother Hao." Lin Song asked hesitantly, "Why are you asking Shi Dong so clearly? Are you...going to start a war with Lao Gou?"
Lin Song's tone was full of fear and trembling, totally unlike the excitement he had when he was about to deal with Brick. In their minds, Lao Gou was undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with than Brick. Yes, no matter how powerful Brick was, he was just one person after all. Even if he had Brick in his hand, a bunch of people would be able to knock him down. Lao Gou, the leader of the senior year, had the most stable power and status, and he had countless brothers under him. It was not a problem to call for 40 or 50 people at random. The 40 or 50 people he called and the 40 or 50 people I called were of very different value.
We all know that if we want to go to war with the old dog, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
I looked at Lin Song. This news must not be leaked out, otherwise the people who had just gathered together would be dispersed.
"How could that be?" I smiled and said, "I haven't offended the old dog in any way, why would he be so hard on me?"
"That's good." Lin Song exhaled, looking very relaxed, and said: "Brother Hao, we can fight with bricks, we can fight with Su Xiaobai, but we must not offend Lao Gou. Besides, Lao Gou will graduate in a year. Even if he offends us in some way, we can endure it and swallow any grievances. Once he leaves, the world will be ours!"
Lin Song laughed, feeling proud of his foresight. But I felt sad. As a person who had been bullied for three years, I knew that if I just tolerated it, I would never get out of it. When a person is used to being bullied, his thoughts and behaviors will change, and he will be servile and submissive when dealing with others. If you put yourself in a lower position than others before others do anything, you will be bullied even more. If Lin Song holds on to this idea, once the old dog leaves, there will still be others who will be superior to him.
"You're right." This is all I can say. Things have to be done slowly and steadily, and you can't eat a fat man all at once: "I won't offend Lao Gou in the short term." But in my heart I was thinking about how to make these people more aggressive in a short period of time.
After Lin Song left, I continued to smoke one cigarette after another. My life in Chenggao was really full of ups and downs. One thing is certain, Lao Gou dared to cause trouble to me so unscrupulously. In addition to looking down on the people around me, a big reason was that he knew that I had fallen out with Zhuantou, and Zhuantou would not help me if something happened to me.
Brick is very important. I thought so, but there was nothing I could do. Brick has a stubborn personality. He doesn't like anyone he doesn't like. It's impossible to expect him to help me. And Yu Chengfei is a student of the vocational college. He is also out of reach and can't help me. In this matter, I think I have to rely on myself. Well, if I want to be a real boss, I have to show my due ability.
Although I thought so, I still had no idea what to do. It seemed that I could only temporarily remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
The next day, I found Ye Zhan and told him about it. Ye Zhan said with doubts: "Strange, Lao Gou and Su Xiaobai don't have a very deep friendship, how can he owe Su Xiaobai such a huge favor?" Even he didn't know, and it seemed that no one else knew.
Ye Zhan asked me again: "Haozi, do you have any countermeasures? Come up with another awesome plan and deal with Lao Gou directly."
I shook my head: "Not yet." The flour plan and the network-breaking plan both have their own particularities, so I dared to give it a try. On the surface, the old dog seemed indestructible, and there was no gap for me to get into.
And if the matter gets out of hand, like the time when Maizi was killed, you might even be expelled from school, and that would be more trouble than it would be worth.
"I'll have to bear with my brothers for a few days." I said, "Lao Gou will continue to keep an eye on me, so don't leave me alone." As long as there are more than ten brothers around me, Lao Gou will have to think twice before taking action. He is already a senior high school student and doesn't want to be expelled.
"No problem." Ye Zhan said, "Even if you go to the toilet, we will follow you." He laughed as he spoke, and no one knew what he was laughing at.
From that day on, when the class was over, Ye Zhan and his friends would gather around me. When we went out to play ball or eat, there were more than ten people around me. Hu Jianmin and his friends were jealous of us and tried to be with us as much as possible. Sometimes there were as many as 20 or 30 people around me, which was really cool.
Since I met Lao Gou, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but I always run into him these days. A group of us and a group of them passed by each other. Ye Zhan and the Four Heavenly Kings knew what was going on, so they ignored him. But Hu Jianmin and the others didn't know, and they greeted Lao Gou warmly. Whenever this happened, Lao Gou would look at me proudly, which meant, "See, your brothers obviously respect me more."
I don’t care, as long as he doesn’t dare to do anything. He can look at me however he wants.
Fan Wenfeng was there to protect me in the dormitory, so it was even more impossible for Lao Gou and his gang to do it. So returning to the dormitory meant I was safe, and I didn't need Ye Zhan and his gang to accompany me. When I was going to class, Ye Zhan and his gang would wait downstairs in the dormitory early, and then accompany me to the classroom. This continued day after day, and after another four or five days, it was still calm, and Lao Gou could no longer find an opportunity to do it.
Xia Xue has been hanging out with Taozi these days. They basically do everything together, laughing and joking, as if they have become close friends. This made me feel relieved, so I thanked Xia Xue even more. This girl's position in my heart has risen sharply. Sometimes I think it would be nice to marry her in the future. But thinking about Taozi again, I quickly gave up this idea. Don't consider this matter now, don't consider it, there is a bigger opponent waiting for me.
