Chapter Fourteen What Are You Going To Do

  Zhao Kun had a great time that night, and when the sun came up, he still owed Xiao Fei 500 yuan, but he had 1,100 yuan left. As soon as it got light, they packed up and the gamblers all went home to rest.

  Heizi sent them away, Zhao Kun was the last to leave, and when he left, he said embarrassedly: "Heizi, it's not that I don't want to help you as a brother, but those people are really too powerful, I couldn't invite any of them. However, they're all addicted to playing, if you have a good place, it's definitely safe, just go and invite them yourself."

  "I'll go? I don't even know them, will they believe me?" Hei Zi asked strangely.

  "There's nothing to be skeptical about, you've been around for over a month now, and people who like to have fun all know you. First, get the place and manpower ready, when it's time to find someone, I'll take you with me." Zhao Kun patted Hei Zi's shoulder and said.

  Hei Zi heard that Zhao Kun was willing to take him to find someone, and he happily said: "Thank you, Brother Zhao. I'll get ready first, and once I'm ready, we can go. If this matter is successful, I won't owe you a favor, brother."

  "Alright, you get ready first and notify me when it's time, I'll head back for now." Zhao Kun said sincerely.

  After Zhao Kun left, Zhuo Xiao Fei asked: "Heizi, did he really help us?"

  Hei Zi nodded and said: "This Zhao Kun is quite interesting, he can pick up and put down, he's a real man, I shouldn't have misjudged him."

  Back in the house, Da Gui and Yin Le had just woken up. Yin Le's two younger brothers had also returned, and upon seeing Hei Zi, they clamored to go find those people to avenge him.

  Hei Zi knew that the five people were beaten badly last night, and it was still a question whether they could get out of bed today. He stopped Da Gui and sent Yun Le's two younger brothers back home to rest. Yun Le and Da Gui were injured, so they stayed here as it was inconvenient for them to go home.

  After making arrangements, Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei returned to the farmhouse courtyard, where they had been up all night and were exhausted. The two of them fell asleep as soon as they lay down, sleeping until 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

  Getting up from the kang, went to Erjie's small restaurant in town for a meal. Hei Zi said: "Xiao Fei, let's buy some fruit and go see those who were beaten."

  "Want to buy fruits? They're cheating us and you still want to buy fruits from them?" Xiao Fei asked in surprise.

  "They're also injured, and it's not good to leave them empty-handed." Hei Zi said with a smile.

  Wishing Xiao Fei a good luck, he didn't know what Heizi was going to do. He and Heizi bought several bags of various fruits and brought them back to the village.

  Those rascals' homes are easy to find, just ask around and you'll find them.

  Pushing the door open and passing by the screen wall, what appears before one's eyes are four or five apricot trees that have almost shed all their leaves, with a small stone path connecting the gate and the house.

  In the late afternoon, the light in the courtyard was darker than outside. The two of them walked a couple of steps and shouted: "Is anyone home?"

  A loud clanking sound of iron chains came, followed by a burst of barking.

  As soon as the two entered, they didn't notice that there was a dog den next to the stone-paved path. A big black dog, half the size of an ordinary dog, stared at them with its eyes fixed on them as soon as they came in. When they shouted out loud, the black dog pounced forward, its mouth just one step away from them, blocking the middle of the stone-paved path.

  "Who is it? What's up?" a man in his thirties pushed open the door and asked.

  "Let's take a look." Hei Zi raised the bag of fruit in his hand.

  The man is the brother of a mixed breed dog who was injured yesterday, and he came all the way from his home to visit him. Seeing that they were there to see his brother, he quickened his pace, stretched out his hand to grab the iron chain of the gate and said: "You can come in, I'll keep an eye on you."

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei entered the house, while the man who followed behind them complained: "This younger brother of mine is really careless, always getting into trouble when he goes out."

  "Hei Zi opened the door of the inner room and said: 'Your younger brother has gotten into big trouble this time.'"

  The man took them as his brother's friends and asked, "What trouble? I heard he was beaten while playing cards. When my brother's injury heals, the three of us will go find them."

  Inside, there was a kang, the younger brother of Hanzi lying on it with a quilt over him. At the other end of the kang sat an old man with a strong physique, talking to a middle-aged man. A stout woman was boiling water at the stove, and as soon as they entered, everyone's eyes focused on them.

  Heizi and Zhu Xiaofei put the fruit on the kang, and the man who followed behind said: "Dad, big brother, they are San'er's friends, come to see him."

  The old man and the middle-aged man on the kang didn't say a word, their faces didn't look good either. The big man said awkwardly: "Brothers sit on the kang, don't be polite."

  The scoundrel named San'er who was being beaten heard someone coming to see him, turned his head and remembered, Hei Zi hastily said: "San'er, stay lying down, no need to get up."

  San'er took a look and it was Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei, scared to shrink his head: "How, how is it you?" Still the old man was clever, looking at the situation asked: "You are not San'er's friends, right?"

  "Of course not," Heizi said with a sly smile.

  "What's going on here? What are you doing?" The old man was somewhat perplexed.

  The middle-aged man on the kang suddenly stood up and stared at them with a fierce gaze, saying: "What do you want to do?"

  Heizi sat down on the edge of the kang without hesitation and said, "Yesterday a few of us hit it a bit hard, let's take a look."

  "You don't have to pretend to come see me." The third son wrapped himself in his quilt and shrank into the corner of the wall.

  "Hei Zi coldly snorted and said: 'We didn't just come to see you, yesterday you led people to destroy our operation, how do you plan on settling this account?'"

  People in northern rural areas are mostly fond of gambling, and smashing someone's casino is a very shameful thing. Saner didn't dare to say that he was injured when he smashed the casino, but said that they had a fight while playing cards. Today, Saner's two older brothers are still shouting to find trouble with the person who opened the casino and ask them to compensate for their losses.

  After hearing Heizi's words, San'er's two older brothers looked at San'er, who covered his head and didn't dare to look directly at them.

  "Third son, you also know that starting a business is not easy. Letting you guys mess it up like this, there's no way to explain it. How can we still mix in this circle in the future?" Hei Zi said with a low and powerful tone.

  The second brother standing on the ground knew he was in the wrong and hastily pulled out a cigarette to say, "Brother, let's smoke and talk this over."

  The elder brother standing on the kang glared at San'er's second brother and said, "What are you afraid of? What do you want to do?"

  Heizi didn't take the cigarette handed over by San'er's second brother, turned his head and looked at Lao Da, saying: "I don't think it's a big deal, as a man you do things yourself and take responsibility for them. As for the other families, I won't go to them, you tell them for me that I want an explanation from you all, otherwise if something happens, don't blame your brother for not warning you."

  Hei Zi finished speaking and stood up to leave, Zhuo Xiao Fei followed behind him, and San Er Er Ge also followed behind saying: "Brother, let's talk it out, let's talk it out."

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei had just stepped out of the courtyard when San Er's older brother rushed out with a iron shovel: "You two are too much, daring to come to my home and threaten my younger brother."

  Hei Zi turned back, and the second brother of San Er, who had just been speaking in a low voice, also became sharp-eyed. He said coldly: "Brother, do you really think my family has no one left?"

  "Heizi smiled and said: 'You guys, what's going on? Want to go up together?'"

  The eldest brother of San Er snorted and rushed over with a shovel.
