Chapter Seven: The Brothers Muddled Along Together

  Da Gui only realized he was in trouble after beating up two younger brothers of Yin Le, and that the person he beat up was a brother of Yin Le. He wasn't afraid of Yin Le, but recently he heard that Yin Le had teamed up with Hei Zi, who three years ago became famous for beating up Ou Yang Qiang. All the local thugs knew his name, whether they knew him personally or not.

  Dà kuí returned home with a nervous heart, worried that Hei Zi would come looking for him. After thinking for a long time, he placed an iron shovel upright in the yard, waiting for Hei Zi to come and cause trouble.

  Dà Kuí is a stubborn person, he has made up his mind that those two kids were the ones who came looking for trouble with him first, and he was not in the wrong. No matter who comes to reason with him, even if it's Hei Zi, he will argue with them until they back down.

  Dai Gui was waiting at home when a young punk knocked on the door and found him, telling him that someone was looking for him on the street. Dai Gui asked who it was, and the young punk told him that among the three people, he only knew Yin Le.

  As soon as Yin Le arrived, Da Gui understood that he must have come to avenge his brother with Hei Zi and the others. Da Gui was afraid that they would cause trouble at home and scare his elderly father who had heart disease, so he grabbed an iron shovel and rushed out.

  After Xiao Hunzi left, Da Kui stared tightly at Hei Zi with both eyes, preventing Hei Zi from making a sudden move.

  Heizi saw Da Kui's tense appearance and burst out laughing: "Da Kui, a real man should be brave and take responsibility, how can you be so scared?"

  "I'm not afraid of you, are you just a black-hearted person? I'm not afraid of you." Da Gui spoke with a stutter, his voice trembling slightly.

  "Hei Zi let out a cold snort and said, 'Da Kui, you hit my two brothers. When we're all mixed up together, we've got to look out for each other. Their business is something I can't ignore, you know that.'"

  Da Gui nodded and said: "When we were fighting, I didn't know they were your brothers. Now that I know, I'm not afraid of you."

  "Da Gui, are you thinking of practicing with me?" Hei Zi looked at Da Gui with a cold expression.

  Da Gui hesitated for a moment and said: "If we're going to fight, let's change places, my old man has heart disease."

  "Alright, you're indeed very filial, go ahead and say where we should go."

  Hei Zi gradually became interested in this Da Gui, unexpectedly this silly guy is quite filial, even when fighting he still cares about his old man.

  "Anywhere will do, as long as it's away from my doorstep." Da Gui put forward his own idea.

  "Alright then, let's go."

  Hei Zi stood up and beckoned to Yin Le and Zhu Xiao Fei, walking forward along the road. Da Gui hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should follow them. He hadn't expected Hei Zi to dare turn his back on him.

  "Heizi walked a few steps and shouted without looking back: 'Da Kui, let's go, don't be afraid.'"

  Da Guiya took a big bite, his heart turned sideways, and he followed Hei Zi and the others with an iron shovel.

  Xiao Fei glanced back at Da Gui and quietly asked Heizi: "Lao Wu, what do you want to do?"

  Hei Zi smiled and said: "This big guy is quite interesting, we still lack a few reliable little brothers, I think he's not bad, can be trained."

  For Hei Zi, fighting is no longer interesting. As long as he doesn't have to fight, he won't. He wants to do something of his own and have his own strength.

  After Xiaofei understood Hei Zi's meaning, she whispered: "Lao Wu, you've changed, really changed."

  "What's going on?" Kuroko asked.

  Xiao Fei smiled and said: "You've become more goal-oriented in handling things, without the impulsiveness of the past, and more rational."

  "Brother, stop flattering me, I'm about to float away!" Hei Zi said with a grin as he walked away.

  Yin Le walked beside Hei Zi and the others, his attention focused on Da Gui behind him, worried that Da Gui would suddenly hit him on the head.

  Da Gui followed Hei Zi and the others with a nervous heart, not knowing where these three people would take him. Da Gui thought to himself: I'll just go along with it, as long as they don't fight at my doorstep and scare old man, even if I get beaten up, I'll accept it.

  What surprised Da Gui was that Hei Zi brought him to the front of Er Jie's small restaurant. When they arrived in front of the restaurant, Hei Zi turned his head and said: "Da Gui, put the iron shovel at the door, don't scare Er Jie."

  Hei Zi and the other two entered the small restaurant one after another. Da Gui stood in front of the restaurant, stunned. Weren't they supposed to be fighting? Why did they come to a restaurant instead?

  "Da Gui, what are you standing there like an idiot for? Come in quickly, are you scared?" Hei Zi shouted after sitting down.

  Da Gui hesitated for a moment and then put down his iron shovel and walked in.

  Dà Kuí didn't expect Hei Zi wouldn't fight with him, but instead wanted to invite him for a drink, his brain short-circuited, he had no idea what Hei Zi was up to.

  "Hei, Hei Ge, what are you trying to do?" Da Kui asked in a softer tone.

  Hei Zi smiled and said: "Da Gui, didn't I tell you? You hit my brother, so I have to give them an explanation. Now there are two ways to go about this. One is that we all become brothers, and the few of us can mix together, making some things easier to say. The other is that we find a time and place, and let my two brothers watch as we fight one-on-one until they're satisfied."

  Heizi said as he handed Da Kui a cup of wine and placed it in front of him, "If you want to be my brother, drink the wine. If you want to practice with me, carry the iron shovel back home. I'll notify you of the time and place, but don't worry, I absolutely won't let your family know."

  Da Gui hesitated and raised his wine cup, saying: "Hei Ge, can you really treat me as your brother?"

  "Of course, we brothers will stick together and one day we'll make a name for ourselves. Let those who look down on us see that we're also men of great stature."

  Da Gui listened to Hei Zi's words and suddenly felt a surge of energy, saying: "Good, Black Brother said it well, we must let those who look down on us see that the several of us will definitely make something of ourselves."

  Xiao Fei happily raised his wine glass, but Yin Le was not happy in his heart. He didn't expect Heizi to bring Da Kui to the restaurant, and thought Heizi would take his place instead.

  "Heizi looked at Yin Le and said: 'Le'er, drink this cup first, then listen to me.'"

  Yin Le didn't dare not give Hei Zi face, so he could only pick up his wine cup.

  Hei Zi said after finishing a cup of wine: "Da Gui, you go first and toast to your brother Yin. You hit his younger brother, so apologize to him."

  Da Gui is a foolish person, seeing Hei Zi look up to himself and invite him to drink, he also lets himself follow him around, feeling very grateful in his heart. Whatever Hei Zi says, he listens and obeys, as soon as Hei Zi's words come out, he unhesitatingly pours wine for Yin Le, raises his own cup and apologizes to Yin Le.

  Yin Le saw that Hei Zi was determined to take down Da Gui, so he didn't say anything else. After all, Hei Zi would give his brother an explanation.

  After dinner, Heizi said: "Da Kui, let's go and take a look at your brother Yin's two brothers together. Let's go and apologize to them together."

  Hei Zi is in the middle, and Da Gui and Yin Le's two brothers' knot was quickly untied. Da Gui also became Hei Zi's younger brother naturally.

  Hei Zi knew in his heart that this gamble would inevitably lead to more trouble later on. Without a few reliable brothers, every time he had to take the lead and fight, it was exhausting. Moreover, opening the stall was just the beginning; once his business expanded, the current group of people would be far from sufficient.
