Before I write, I like to be the first one to open it. After I write, I hope that the person who opens it is you, my son, although you are not yet one year old, and you are a poor baby who can only drink milk powder without breast milk. "
"When you open this notebook, then please restrain your grief. At that time, I must have passed away. Father and son are talking to each other across 20 years. I hope you will become an upright and kind person who is useful to society in the future. "
Reading this, Li Xianyu smiled. This was the first time he smiled in three days. It was a warm and sad smile.
"I hope you will become an upright and kind person who is useful to society in the future" was probably the same wish of parents all over the world for their children. Even the most vicious criminals, they also hoped that their children would become an upright and kind person who was useful to society.
He continued to read, "When I was thinking about where to start to tell this past, I thought of that day …"
.....
In modern times, the song and dance halls in Shanghai had always been famous throughout the country. From later generations, the words "Shang Beach" could be seen in countless modern films and movies. When people thought of it, they would think of the dance hall with feasting lights and the dancers in the rickshaw going in and out of the dance hall, wearing cheongsam and graceful posture.
The fate of the dance hall could be described as ups and downs. With the expansion of the concession culture, the first dance hall appeared in Shanghai in 1922. By the 1930s, the number of licensed dancers had reached more than a thousand.
After the founding of the People's Republic, these dance halls disappeared. After a long period of silence, the reform and opening up came. The dance halls were like weeds. When the spring came, they were revived everywhere. It reached its peak in the 1980s and 1990s.
The essence of the dance hall was there. It was inevitable to have a foul atmosphere with all kinds of people, good people, bad people, and rascals. It was inclusive of everything.
Once the composition was complicated, it was easy to cause trouble. Therefore, those large-scale dance halls would find a few gangsters to guard the place.
The gangsters collected some protection fees, flirted with girls in the dance hall, and drank. In fact, they did the current security work.
Li Xiong became a gangster after graduating from junior high school. He followed a very famous elder brother in the underworld. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. They dared to risk their lives and play hard. Therefore, he was appreciated by the elder brother.
Two years ago, the eldest brother got drunk and raped a beautiful girl with a few of his brothers. He thought that he could use his connections and money to settle the matter, but the girl's family also had some connections and insisted that he be shot. He had no choice but to run away.
Since the eldest brother was gone, the brothers under him scattered in confusion and divided the territory. Li Xiong also drew more than a dozen brothers to his side. He cut the wires with a kitchen knife. Along the way, there were sparks and lightning. He entered several dance halls and bars, drank, fought, and flirted with girls. His life was very comfortable.
At the bar in the corner of the ballroom, Li Xiong lit a cigarette, sat on a high stool, and watched the men and women dancing with the music on the dance floor. They were like a lion patrolling his territory, catching a beautiful lioness and madly mating.
Three of his lackeys sat beside him, pointing and gossiping. This one was talking about the boss, and that girl was not bad. The other said, "Boss, are you going to sleep with that girl in the red dress? If you don't, I'm going to sleep with her."
They were hooligans, after all. Naturally, beauties were indispensable.
As the boss of this area, Li Xiong had three friends who were in charge of Bao's business today.
A lackey pointed at the young girl, who was obviously from a good family but was not free in the ballroom, and said with a smile, "I want her."
Li Xiong slapped him in the face.
The lackey held his head aggrievedly and said, "Boss, why did you slap me?"
Li Xiong scolded and said, "How many times have I told you that we, as hooligans, can have fun, but don't harm good girls."
The lackey hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, the boss has a high consciousness, and the boss still has a conscience."
Then he was scalped.
After all, they were hooligans in the street. They had chopped people and fought, but they could not be compared with the real gangsters who lived with blood on the edge of a knife. They were not so vicious and evil, and they were satisfied if they lived a good life. They could not do the shady business of killing people and robbing them.
In that era, the real boss had connections in the legal circle. If the hooligans in the street could not get that relationship, they could only be hooligans for a lifetime.
Li Xiong glanced at the gold watch on his wrist and said impatiently, "Why hasn't Pingping come yet?"
The third lackey curled his lips quietly. "The boss just said that he could not harm good girls, but he slapped me in the face in the next second."
Pingping was a beautiful flower that Li Xiong liked recently. She was a slim and graceful girl from a good family. She came to the ballroom with her friends once, and then she was targeted by Li Xiong. Then she pestered him in all kinds of ways. It was said that a chaste girl was afraid of a pestering man. So, the two soon fell in love.
In fact, the girl was a little reluctant. If she really had a bad impression of Li Xiong, she would beat her to death with a stick no matter how pestering she was, unless she wanted to be a bully and fought with him.
"You don't understand. I am different from you. After I marry Pingping, I will give up and quit," Li Xiong said.
"What should we do?"
"Boss, you have a bright future as a hooligan. Why do you give up your career for a woman?"
"Yes, this year, the wave of layoffs in state-owned enterprises is so fierce, and my cousin has lost his job. It is better to be a hooligan. Hooligans are the hope of the future of the motherland and the prospects of the people. "
The lackeys were very flustered. If the boss left, only a dozen of them could not keep these places. At that time, they would also be laid off.
"That's all in the future. Let's talk about it later." Li Xiong waved his hand.
Although he had such an idea, he was not sure when he would get married. As a young man, he always felt that getting married and starting a career was still far away from him. Besides, he had not earned enough money. Except for two apartments in his family, he had no savings, which was very shabby.
They were chatting. In the middle, a lackey dragged a dancer who worked in the ballroom. The adulterous couple hooked up and went to the alley behind the ballroom to have fun.
The alley behind the ballroom was similar to the woods in the later universities. Nowadays, young men and women were not so delicate, and they had to get a room or something. The conditions did not allow them to have sex. Usually, they were young adulterous (Japanese word, don't search for it).
The speed was neither fast nor slow. Ten minutes later, the adulterous couple came back. The blush on the woman's face did not recede, and she went to the dance floor again with a charming smile. The lackey sat beside several brothers and drank.
"Did she wear a hat?" Li Xiong asked immediately.
The lackey said no.
After saying that, he was slapped in the face.
"You will get AIDS sooner or later. Remember it next time, understand?" Li Xiong felt that he was tired of being both a big brother and a father.
The lackeys were all younger than him. Since they followed him, they could not just focus on making money. As a big brother, he had to take care of them in all aspects. After all, brothers always came first.
He was a competent boss, and the lackeys were also willing to block knives for him and follow his lead.
Just as they were talking, Pingping came. She was a delicate and pretty girl, wearing a white shirt and a blue dress, like a lily blooming at night.
Today, she also put on light makeup. Her facial features looked particularly delicate, and her eyes were watery. She was a rare little beauty.
"Hello, sister-in-law." The lackeys greeted her one after another.
Li Xiong went forward with a smile and put his arm around her shoulder, but he was slapped away by Pingping and rolled her eyes at him.
Pingping played in the dance hall until very late. Li Xiong looked at the gold watch and deliberately raised his wrist to show Pingping his newly bought gold watch, which was a symbol of being rich and lascivious. He was showing off his wealth to his girlfriend.
After seeing the gold watch, Li Xiong said, "Pingping, let me send you home. Recently, Shanghai is not peaceful. Some psychopathic murderers especially target beautiful girls in the middle of the night. Two people have died in Jing 'an next door."
"I don't want to. My dad hates you the most. If he knows that you send me home, he will scold me again." Pingping shook her head and refused. It was not a refusal at all. It was obviously a half-hearted refusal.
Women were so pretentious.
Li Xiong liked her pretentiousness. Only a girl who was occasionally pretentious was charming. She could make people fully smell the sour smell of love. Could a girl who was too rational and serious be in love?
The two left the dance hall hand in hand. The three lackeys followed behind and kept a distance. They did not want to be too close to the boss and his future sister-in-law as a third wheel.
"Hey, how many girlfriends am I?" Ping Ping suddenly asked.
"The first one." Li Xiong did not even think about it and answered with full marks.
"I don't believe it." She snorted and turned her head away, not letting him see her slightly upturned lips.
"It's really your first love. You haven't grown up yet." Li Xiong's eyes stopped on Pingping's chest. "But it doesn't matter. I will be responsible for bringing it up."
Pingping did not understand at first. Following his eyes to look at her chest, she immediately understood and gently hit him. "My dad is right. You are a bad embryo. If I really marry you in the future, my son will also be a bad embryo."
After that, she snorted. "If I don't let you bring up my son in the future, I will teach him myself."
Li Xiong responded with "Um, um, ah", but he was thinking that if he really had a son in the future, he would definitely teach him to be an "excellent" boy. If the conditions allowed, he would also take him on his debut.
When they walked through the street and entered an alley, Li Xiong suddenly heard a muffled groan, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.
He looked back in a daze and was shocked. He didn't know when there were more strangers behind them, but the three underlings had fallen to the ground and seemed to be in a coma. It was a little far away, and he could not see clearly in the dark.
Li Xiong's first thought was that the enemy was waiting for revenge. It was always like this in Xiangjiang movies. The fights between clubs and the assassination of the boss of the club were always more serious than the fights between clubs.
But on second thought, it was not right. I am just a street punk, making small troubles to look after several clubs. How can I deserve the treatment of assassination?
"Friend, what do you mean? Are you looking for money or territory? " Li Xiong motioned Pingping not to panic, bent down to pick up a brick at his feet, and strode over.
He was never afraid of fighting. With a brick in hand, he could control the world. He once had the record of beating three punks with fruit knives while carrying a brick.
Li Xiong suddenly stopped. He smelled blood, a strong smell of blood. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. He finally saw clearly that the three underlings were either in a coma or dead.
They fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood spread out from under them, turning into a pool of blood.
In the darkness, two scarlet lights were ignited, as if the demons hidden in the abyss were watching you.
"What a wonderful virgin. She is really an excellent furnace. Tonight is really a harvest night."
Li Xiong only had time to hear this sentence clearly. An arm ran through his chest. The mysterious man gently swung his arm and threw him to the wall of the alley. Then came Pingping's scream of horror and the mysterious man's wild laughter.
