493 Ballroom Punks
"Before I picked up the pen, I liked that I was the first to open it. After I finished writing, I hope that the person who opened it was you, my son, even though you are not over one year old, a poor baby who can't eat breast milk and can only drink milk powder."
"And when you open this note, please feel sorry for me. At that time, I must have passed away. We father and son have been talking for twenty years. I hope you will become an upright, kind and useful person to society in the future."
Seeing this, Li Xianyu smiled. This was the first time he laughed in three days, with a warm and sad smile.
"I hope you will become an upright, kind and useful person to society in the future" is probably the same wish for parents all over the world for their children. Even if they are extremely vicious criminals, they hope that their children will become an upright, kind and useful person to society.

In modern times, the dance halls in the Shanghai Stock Exchange have always been famous throughout the country. The three words "shang Beach" can be seen from countless modern films and TV series in later generations. When people think of it, they will think of the dance hall with bright lights and wine, and the dance girls entering and leaving the dance hall in rickshaws, wearing cheongsams and graceful figures.
The fate of the dance hall is ups and downs. With the expansion of the concession culture, the first dance hall appeared in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1922. By the 1930s, there were more than a thousand licensed dancers.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these dance halls disappeared. After a long period of silence, reform and opening up came, and the dance halls were like wild grass. When the spring breeze came, they recovered everywhere. They reached their peak in the 1980s and 1990s.
The essence of the dance hall is where the dance hall is, and it is necessary to have a mixed bag of smoky dragons and snakes, all the straits of all religions, good people and bad people, tolerate everything.
Once the ingredients are complicated, it is easy to cause trouble, so those large-scale dance halls will find a few ways to watch the venue.
The gangsters collect some protection fees, flirt with girls and drink in the dance hall, which is actually doing the current security work.
After graduating from junior high school, Li Xiong made his debut as a gangster and followed a famous elder brother in the realm. He was not afraid of tigers, dared to fight to the death and play ruthlessly, so he was highly appreciated by his elder brother.
Two years ago, my elder brother got drunk and raped a beautiful girl with several brothers. He thought she could handle it with money, but the girl's family also had something to do with him, so he had to run away.
The eldest brother was gone, and the brothers under his command scattered and divided the territory. Li Xiong also grabbed more than a dozen brothers, cut off electric wires with kitchen knives, sparked and lightning all the way, and hit several dance halls and bars, drank, fought, and picked up girls. His life was very comfortable.
At the bar in the corner of the dance hall, Li Xiong lit a cigarette, sat on a high stool, watching the men, women, men and women dancing ballroom dances in the dance floor, just like a lion patrolling their territory, mates wildly when they catch a beautiful lioness.
The three little brothers sat beside him and pointed at him. This one said, "Boss, that girl is good." The other one said, "Boss," the girl in a red skirt, can you still sleep? If you don't sleep, the little brother will get on.
As a bastard, it is natural that beauty is indispensable when fighting.
As the boss of this area, there are three friends of Li Xiong, who are present today.
A little brother pointed at the young girl who was obviously a good family and couldn't let go of her in the dance hall, and said with a smile: I want her.
Li Xiong slapped him in the face.
The younger brother hugged his head aggrievedly and said, "Why are the boss hitting me?"
Li Xiong cursed and said, "How many times do we tell you? We are gangsters, and if we play, we should not harm Xiaoliang's family."
The younger brother quickly said, yes, yes, or the boss is enlightened and the boss is still in a state of conscience.
Then he was scalped again.
After all, I am a gangster in the market. I have chopped people and fought, but I am far from being compared with the real blackness of licking blood from the knife. I am not that vicious and very comfortable, so I am satisfied. I can't do anything to kill people and rob people.
In that era, the real big brothers were all related to the white road. If the gangsters in the market could not get into that relationship, they would be gangsters for the rest of their lives.
Li Xiong glanced at the gold watch on his wrist and said impatiently: "Why haven't Pingping come yet?"
The third little brother quietly curled his lips. The boss just said that he could not harm the good family, so he turned around and slapped himself in the face.
Pingping is a beautiful flower that Li Xiong has recently seen. She is a graceful girl from a good family. After she went to the dance hall with her friends, she was targeted by Li Xiong. Then she pestered her and wrestled her all kinds of entanglements. They all said that the harsh girls were afraid of being entangled. So, the two of them got along soon.
In fact, the girl also had a bit of a slight reluctance. If she really had a bad impression of Li Xiong, she would beat you to death with a stick, unless you became a bully and forced.
"You don't understand, I'm different from you. When I marry Pingping home, I will wash my hands and stop doing it." Li Xiong said.
"What should we do then?"
"Boss, when you are a gangster, why give up your career for a woman?"
"That's right, the trend of state-owned enterprises being laid off this year is so powerful that my cousin has been unemployed, so it's better to be a gangster. A gangster is the hope of the motherland's future and the prospect of the people."
The younger brothers said they were very panicked. If the boss left, there would be only about ten of them, and they would definitely not be able to protect these places, and they would be laid off at that time.
"That's all for the future, let's talk about it." Li Xiong waved his hand.
Although he had such an idea, he couldn't say when he would get married. As a young man, he always felt that starting a family and starting a business was still far from him, and he had not made enough money. He had no savings except two houses at home, and it was very terrible.
There was a chat without saying a word. In the middle, a little brother dragged a dancer working in the dance hall, and the man and woman went to the alley behind the dance hall to have fun.
The alley behind the dance hall is similar to the woods in the university later. These days, young men and women are not so spoiled and have to open a room or something. Conditions do not allow it. They are usually traitors (Japanese words, don't search).
The speed was neither fast nor slow. After about ten minutes, the man and the woman came back. The woman's face was flushed and she entered the dance floor with a charming smile. The younger brother sat next to her brother and drink.
"Did you wear a hat?" Li Xiong asked immediately.
My brother said no.
After saying that, he was slapped.
"Sooner or later I will get AIDS. I will remember it next time, and I will know if it is." Li Xiong felt very tired when he was both an elder brother and a father.
My younger brothers are younger than him. Since I follow him, I can’t just spend money. I have to take care of all aspects of being a big brother. If you go out and do it, brothers will always be the first.
He is a competent boss, and his younger brothers are willing to block the knife for him, but he only follows his leader.
As he was talking, Pingping was here, she was a pretty and charming person, wearing a white shirt and a blue long skirt, like a lily blooming at night.
She also put on light makeup today, her facial features looked particularly delicate, and her eyes were watery and she was a rare little beauty.
"Hello, sister-in-law." The younger brothers greeted each other.
Li Xiong smiled and stepped forward and hugged his back, but was slapped by Pingping and gave him a blank look.
Pingping played in the dance hall until very late. Li Xiong looked at the gold watch. He deliberately raised his wrist and showed Pingping his newly bought gold watch. This was a symbol of wealth and lust. He was showing off his financial resources to his girlfriend.
After reading the gold watch, Li Xiong said, "Pingping, I'll take you home. Recently, the Shanghai market has not been peaceful. There are perverted murderers who specialize in attacking the beautiful girl late at night. Two people are dead next door."
"I don't want it. My dad hates you the most. He wants to let him know that you sent me home, and he has to say to me again when he turns back." Pingping shook her head and refused. It was not a rejection, but she clearly said that she was half-rejecting and wanted to refuse.
Women are just pretentious.
Li Xiong likes her pretentiousness. Only a girl who is occasionally pretentious is charming. People can fully smell the sour smell of love. Is it still called falling in love if it is too rational and too serious?
The two of them left the dance hall holding hands, and the three little brothers followed behind, keeping a distance, so it is difficult to get too close to them as the light bulb of the boss and the future sister-in-law.
"Hey, I'm your first girlfriend." Pingping asked suddenly.
"The first one." Li Xiong answered with full marks without thinking.
"I don't believe it." She snorted, turned her head away, and did not show him the corners of her slightly raised mouth.
"It's really my first love. You haven't grown up yet." Li Xiong's eyes paused on Pingping's chest: "But it doesn't matter, I will be responsible for bringing it up with one hand."
Pingping didn't understand at first, and looked at her chest according to his eyes. She immediately understood and gently hit him: "You, my father is right, you are just a bad embryo. If you really marry you in the future, you will be a bad embryo."
After saying that, she hummed twice: "I won't take my son to you in the future, I will teach you myself."
Li Xiong responded with a "yes, um, ah" and thought to himself that if he really has a son in the future, he must teach him to be an "excellent" boy. If conditions permit, he will also take him to debut.
When they walked across the street and entered an alley, Li Xiong suddenly heard a muffled groan, followed by the sound of his body falling to the ground.
Looking back in a daze, he was shocked. There were strangers behind them at some point, and the three little brothers had already fallen to the ground, seemingly unconscious, a little far away, dark and unreal.
Li Xiong's first reaction was that his enemies were rushing to take revenge. This is how they were performed in Xiangjiang movies. The fights between clubs and the scenes of assassinating the boss of the club are always more difficult than those of the clubs.
But then I thought, it wasn't right. I was just a gangster in the market, watching several places in a small fuss. How could He De deserve the treatment of assassination?
"Friend, what do you mean? Seeking money or territorial?" Li Xiong signaled Pingping not to panic. He bent down and picked up a brick beside his feet, and walked over with great strides.
He is never afraid of fighting. I have a brick in my hands. He once had the record of carrying bricks to fight away three fruit knife gangsters.
Li Xiong suddenly stopped. He smelled the smell of 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 little brothers were either unconscious or dead.
They fell to the ground, and large swaths of blood spread out from under them and turned into a pool of blood.
In the darkness, two scarlet lights ignited, like a demon hiding in the abyss watching you.
"What a wonderful virgin, what a great cauldron, it was a good night tonight."
