old cannon

Chapter 1 Now, Liu Ye is getting old.He lost all energy.

Every day when the sixth master opened the door, he hung out the bird cage, picked up a bench at the door, opened a bottle of Xiaoer, and sat there all morning.

Liu Ye's shop is not big, it's a canteen.There is no signboard, but there is a billboard next to the door, covered with dirt, with the words "Old Beijing Yogurt" printed on it.From the outside, Liu Ye's shop was pitch black.Snacks, groceries, fruit were left bare and lifeless with age.The only shining thing is the birdcage hanging by the door, with a big belly and a round waist.The cage frames, cage rings, cage bars, cage doors, cage claws, and cage hooks are all polished and shiny.In the cage stood a mynah with big ears, bright hair, fat curls, and golden claws.Every time the sixth master raised his eyes to look up, he felt grand and dazzling.

"Bo'er, call out!" Sixth Master bared his teeth and took a sip of Xiaoer.

Mynah shook her hair, but said nothing.

"It's hard to beat! I feed you like a fucking rich man every day. It's harder to make you say a word than to fart. Cry! If you don't tell me, don't want to eat apples today!"

"Brother!" Mynah muffled.

Sixth Master was beautiful, he took an apple from the store, rubbed it on his body, took a bite first, opened the cage door, and handed it in.

"Look at you, you're awesome. It's not a loss to call Master Liu 'Brother'!"

"Brother!" Mynah called again.

This cry made Liu Ye flustered.

Liu Ye, who has entered the age of 50, is often flustered.Beijing has changed.Streets, buildings, shops, cars, men, women, children, as well as the sun, moon, and stars have all changed.It seems that after a short sleep, God changed the model.Sixth Master sometimes looks at everything in front of him, and suddenly becomes dazed.He often feels that he is still 20 years old, with a hard body, a spring lock pinned to his waist, a schoolbag of bricks on his left side, and a hot blood in his chest.The wind in winter is like a small knife, and the skin hurts and bleeds.In those years, the lake in Houhai was frozen tightly and vigorously.The men shuttled across the ice, and the ice blades cut on the ice, creaking.The women wore military uniforms, red scarves around their necks, and their faces were flushed.The man exhaled cold air, the woman laughed wantonly, the lake was full of noise, and a group of men and women surrounded the shore, some were fighting, some were playing piano.From a distance, the men and women are all in a black mass, and there is no difference. They are like fish schools in the sea, curled up and stretched out, sometimes forming a line, sometimes expanding into a net.However, Liu Ye thought it was sexy. He thought that men and women in those days were sexy.Together with the sun, moon, and stars, they are all sexy.

Liu Ye couldn't see the world clearly when he was young, and he can't see clearly now.When Liu Ye was young, he pulled out a spring lock and slapped down a brick. Only when he saw the blood of the fallen person burst out, did he feel contact with the world.That blood is the only language he uses to communicate with this world, he has to keep beating and roaring in order to receive the world's feedback to him.The feedback was like taking a sip of opium, the whole body was full of joy, and then it became cold, like ice knives cutting on the surface of the lake, creaking and creaking.Now, sixth master is old.He lost all energy.The arms are thinner, the stomach is bigger, the voice is hoarse, the eyebrows are drooping, and only those eyes are barely holding on to the fierceness.But he knew that no matter how fierce he pretended to be, the world would ignore him.The world is like a huge white eye, which makes Liu Ye flustered.The sixth master sometimes hums Cui Jian's songs, Girl in the Flower House, "A Piece of Red Cloth".Liu Ye felt that he was blindfolded and thrown into a stuffy pot with a small fire at the bottom of the pot. If he shouted, roared, and beat him, the pot would be silent, but his whole body was slow. It slowly became scorching hot, roasting his bones weak and exhausted.

From the eyes of the people around him, Liu Ye is still that naughty.He has a bad temper and has no good face. He can turn his face faster than a book.Since he can't see the world clearly, he simply can't understand the world.He sits at the door every day and can't get used to anything.I can't understand couples kissing, I can't understand the signs of bars, I can't understand people's clothes, I can't understand the advertisements on the wall.He sometimes gets angry when he watches TV, and he also gets angry when he hears young people talking fashionable words.The crowd is lively, he is annoyed, and others are polite, he is even more annoyed.False, real, true, false, he is angry.He misses the past, and wants to get together with a group of old buddies. After finally getting together, he realizes that everything has changed.He was disheartened and guarded his small shop every day. From dawn to sunset, there were not many people visiting in a day.

He was lonely, and couldn't help but think of his wife who was killed, and then forced himself not to think about it.When Liu Ye was young, he never thought about getting married.At that time, he was in glory, and a group of little brothers under him followed him wholeheartedly, whoever pulled up the flagpole today, and who would hold it tomorrow, sometimes for the sake of fame, and sometimes for "shooting the wife".After the fight, they flocked to the restaurant and had a violent meal.Liu Yeqi's son was born in Ya'er Hutong, and the people who followed him also grew up in this Hutong.The children in the Hutong are no better than the children in the big yard. Their parents are both working and have low education levels, so they cannot afford decent clothes.They envied the children of the big courtyard, envied them wearing three-jointed leather shoes, a green military uniform, and white socks.Compared with them, the children in Hutong can at most get a pair of army socks and put on a pair of army rubber shoes, which is so beautiful.The natural material gap makes them evolve from envy to strong inferiority complex.They beat people harder, struck faster, and would not stop until there was no blood.They are used to fighting in groups, and they are also good at individual combat. Every child has a unique skill, and there is a guy who is good at it.Some people make triangular army stabs; some make their own chain guns; One-handed wrestling is all anti-joint, it's not as good as a match, it's just for fighting.Liu Ye's guy is a spring lock with a long handle, one end is big and the other end is small, pinch the small end to draw blood, and pinch the big end to draw people's internal organs.This guy is a soft weapon with strong attack power, but it can't be used to resist. Therefore, Liu Ye usually uses one move to control the enemy, and rarely fights with others.

Liu Ye's wife is average-looking and doesn't like to talk. Her parents work in a crane factory, and her family is honest.Before Liu Ye met her, he had photographed quite a few wives, all of whom were bright and smooth, but most of them were running around with their bosses.For this reason, Liu Ye fought many unjust fights and offended many brothers.In those few years, Liu Ye's momentum gradually cooled down, and it caught up with the reform and opening up in the 80s. Hooligans in Beijing rushed to Guangzhou to dump TV sets, watches, clothes, and toad mirrors.At that time, as if overnight, Liu Ye felt that the people around him had disappeared, and there was no one to look for.The sixth master also wanted to make a deal, but he made a few trips and lost everything.He never relents in beating people, but he can't be cruel in selling things.Kindness does not lead soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth, this makes Liu Ye feel that he is not completely a jerk.So he felt that he should settle down first, so he asked someone to introduce his future wife.Soon the two established a relationship, got married, and had a baby. Liu Ye also found a power plant to take care of the belt and transport coal.

At the beginning, Liu Ye was used to being wild and couldn't adapt.If there is someone in the factory who has a share, he must beat and beat, and if someone is a thief who misses someone, he will also take that person out to talk.Throughout the year, Liu Ye didn't do his job, and beat up his colleagues in the workshop.His master disliked him and called him a prick, so Liu Ye jumped up with his master, dangling a triangle iron in front of his master.His master had no choice but to transfer him to another workshop.The other workshops heard that he was fierce, so they didn't dare to take him.Seeing that the factory was about to dismiss him, a master worker agreed to take him in, but the condition was that he would not cause trouble, fight, and if anything happened, his master worker would solve it.The sixth master was grateful to the master, and even endured it. This patience smoothed his temper. From then on, the sixth master started to work from nine to five, and the family lived in poverty, but they lived in peace.

After the days settled down, Master Liu and his group of buddies returned to Beijing from Guangzhou and Shanghai one after another, some made money and some lost money.When this group of people returned to Beijing, they had nothing to do all day long. They heard that Liu Ye was working in the factory, so they went to his factory to disturb him every day.Mr. Liu wanted to live a stable life, but those people ran to the director of his workshop and threatened the director: "If you dare to let Brother Liu work, we will take one of your legs off!" Helpless, the master did not dare to keep him .The sixth master didn't want to embarrass the master, so he brought a cigarette, a bottle of wine, bought a roast chicken, delivered it to the master's door, bowed, and resigned when he returned to the factory.

From then on, Liu Ye and this group of people ate nonsense, fought and fought every day, did not go home every night, and spent the night outside.His wife couldn't see people, and she was so anxious that she lost her hair.It was not easy for the sixth master to come back, but he smelled of alcohol and fell asleep.One late night, Liu Ye knocked on the door, his wife opened the door, and Liu Ye fell down in front of her, with a slit wide on his head, his head was like a blood gourd.His wife was so frightened that she sat on the ground and didn't relax for a long time.His wife looked at Liu Ye who was unconscious, got up and closed the child's door tightly, and then dragged Liu Ye to the sofa. She wanted to give him a simple bandage first, and then send him to the hospital. The whole room was looking for bandages. But can't find it.She put on her clothes and went to the pharmacy, in a trance along the way, the moon shining on the road like a dry river.She thought to herself, bastard, I must get a divorce this time!I also wonder if my son has no father since he started school, will it affect his growth?Fuck it, it's better not to have such a father than to have such a father? ?Liu Ye's wife was in a daze, muttering, a truck drove over, Liu Ye's wife flew out, and stuck her head on the manhole cover.When she was about to die, Liu Ye's wife was still muttering: You bastard.

Today's sixth master, his wife died, his son ran away, and his friends disappeared. He could only sit in front of the small shop with a blank expression on his face and guilt in his heart.He raises mynah not for the top grade, not afraid of dirty mouth, just to make it fat and white like a gourd, so that he can look close to him.Mynah's "Brother" made him feel as if he had passed the electricity once, and countless images flashed in his mind, as if he had restarted 20 years at once.He took a deep breath and turned around. There were already some sightseeing tricycles driving slowly on the street, and the shops on the border were already open.Sixth Master thought, this fucking day will take another day.

A dark and thin man passed by Liu Ye's door on a sightseeing tricycle, stopped, and looked at Liu Ye with his neck stretched.

"Sixth Lord, it's so cold, it's like guarding the coffin shop every day, no business, right? Follow me on three rounds, one by one, sweating all over!"

Without raising his eyes, Master Liu poured a pot of leftover tea at the black and thin man.

The man raised his foot to hide, "You just throw it on me!"

The sixth master put a lazy face on his face, "Stop peeing! Look at your pussy, you look like broom bumps, you really think of yourself as a camel Xiangzi? I won't go for a trip, I'm born to serve others , Hurry up and get out!"

The man grinned happily, and rushed to Yinding bridge in a hurry.

A few southerners selling mala tang at the gate of the courtyard took out gas tanks and placed them beside the charcoal fire, set up a shed, and set up a table. A stout woman was holding a stack of bowls and chopsticks, and quickly stacked them on the table.The southerners sneaked a few glances at Mr. Liu, and he glanced over. The southerners hurriedly lowered their heads and helped the women stack the dishes.

"Grandson, why don't you listen? If you blow up the whole thing, you'll be damned!"

When the woman heard Liu Ye scolding, she raised her eyebrows, ate the bowl in her hand, and cursed endlessly in Sichuan dialect.

"Don't fucking think I don't understand, Army No. [-] of the Sichuan Military Region is our relative! I even touched their commander's gun."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked over with a smile, his body was dirty, a pair of jeans seemed to be soaked in oil, and his hair was messed up.

"Master Liu, who is Army No. [-]?"

Master Liu spit out phlegm and coughed for a long time, "I forgot, anyway, they are relatives. Pinball, you little dick, you wander here and there all day long, you're not good at it, find a restaurant, clean the dishes, wash the dishes , Show serious strength, don't act like a fucking monkey with a tail bump all day, it's not small!"

Pinball said: "Don't do it, it's boring, I will follow you!"

The sixth master smiled: "Follow me? I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. It's not that year, kid!"

Pinball approached, with a mysterious look on his face: "Have you heard? Maoyan was beaten!"

The sixth master clapped his hands: "It should have been done long ago. This old asshole used to be awesome. He took Dayazi thirteen bricks at the zoo and almost didn't lose his life! I'm old and old, so I'll break it too! beated?"

Pinball said: "A group of punks in their 20s."

Sixth Master's face tightened, and he muttered, "Why did you mess with them?"

Pinball said: "I heard that it was Maoyan'er's son who wasted money in the Internet cafe and was beaten up by others. Maoyan felt that his prestige was still there, and no one called. He went to the Internet cafe by himself and found that person. Playing prestige, a shotgun came from behind, and the one with the shotgun made him kneel down."

The sixth master said, "Is Maoyan kneeling?"

Pinball said: "'Plop' knelt down, and a few children surrounded him and beat him up, and he is still lying in the hospital now."

Sixth Master bowed his head and remained silent.

Pinqiuer was indignant: "Sixth Master, you said, Maoyaner used to be considered a famous figure, but now a gun is pointed at him, so he knelt down?"

Liu Ye lifted the birdcage, picked up two cannon worms from the small black box on the counter, and stuffed them into it.

"Huh? Master Six?"

Sixth Master glared at him: "What should I do, why not go, don't fucking spend all my time here, it's an eyesore!"

Pachinko was bored and left with a flicker.

Sixth Master sighed: "If you don't kneel, if you don't kneel, he really dares to hug you."

The north wind gradually picked up, the clouds in the sky slowly wiped away, the sun came out, and the whole Ya'er Hutong became lively.Sightseeing tricycles pass by in front of your eyes, it’s cold, the drivers are pedaling hard, and at the same time chatting with the tourists on the seats: Prince Gong’s Mansion, Snail House, Fayuan Temple, Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence, how Xiao Jun was criticized , How much money was stolen from Heshen's old house? ?In the end, you have to get involved with yourself by beating around the bush.The tourists on the seats were engrossed in listening, taking pictures with their mobile phones.

"Old teapot, don't fucking talk, don't you see that the two big girls behind you are the same kind of people as us?" A driver who couldn't pull the wheel squinted at the foaming old teapot .

The old teapot glanced back at the blond foreign tourist on the seat, "I can understand it, but I don't understand it. Anyway, he is very happy. It's none of your business. It's a big deal. I speak English."

"Beating sex! You can't even put two marbles in your mouth, and you still speak fucking English!"

"Don't look down on people if you can't pull the job."

"I can't pull? How many times did I just pull? Didn't you see? My legs are all short! I'm stretching here."

"Cross the threshold, grind your dick, grandson, you are busy alone!" The old teapot kicked far away with all his legs.

Mr. Liu brought a bowl of noodles with fried sauce at the door, and ate it with a snort.Liuye's fried noodles are simple, with lots of meat and few dishes.For the sake of convenience, Liu Ye never put the green beans in the mouth, just sprinkled two handfuls of small water radish sprouts, a handful of cucumber sticks, poured a few drops of laba vinegar, a few mouthfuls, it was half a bowl.When Liu Ye ate noodles, it was like revenge.His brows were deeply furrowed, his whole body was tense on his face, his Adam's apple was retracted, his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the bowl, and fire was coming out, the chopsticks didn't hold it, just sent it to his mouth.Liu Ye's mouth was like a boiler, burning with high flames, the noodles were stretched like a fire chopstick, when they were put in, there was a "cracking" sound.

Sixth Master burped loudly and let out a sigh of relief.Knock out the big front door, light it on, and take a sharp puff, two columns of smoke tremblingly flow down from the nostrils.Sixth Master turned around and closed the shop door, picked up the birdcage, and walked out of the street.Along the way, small business vendors nodded and called "Liu Ye" when they saw him.Sixth Master nodded and smiled.

Slipping to Yinding Bridge, there are more bars, and the streets are full of chaos after a night of hustle and bustle in Houhai.Young people crowded together, bustling with people, wearing exaggerated clothes, green, fat, red and thin, with red hair, white hair, yellow hair, purple hair, and pink hair on their heads. Most of them are foreigners, but they all speak a vague Nancheng dialect .Sixth Master watched, feeling flustered.

An old man was sitting at the entrance of the canteen, and a group of girls in short skirts with tattoos on their arms walked past him.

"It's such a cold day, and you're still dressed so coolly, it's really easy!" The old man stared at a girl's thigh, pouted.

The girl ignored it and said, "Old rascal!"

"Okay, it's accurate!" Sixth Master grinned and watched the girls leave, and walked up to the old man, "It's not easy for an old hooligan in his 90s to live to this day without being beaten to death! The national application for world heritage is called a rogue material cultural heritage."

The old man looked up at Master Liu, snorted, and murmured: "Just fool around, fool around."

Sixth master handed cigarettes: "Second master, sunbathing?"

Er Ye pointed to the bar on the other side of Houhai, "Every fucking night, a bunch of idiots?"

The sixth master lit a cigarette for the second master, "I can't control the little bastard's affairs, you don't get angry with them when you are old, this street still belongs to you!"

The second master took a puff, his brows and eyes relaxed: "Just fool around, fool around."

There was a noise from the corner of the street, and Pinball ran over in a panic.

"Master Liu, go and have a look, the pancake cart with the lampshade has been confiscated!"

Sixth Master went with the pinball.A group of people gathered around the corner, stretching their necks to look.

Four urban management officers were grabbing a tricycle, and a man in his fifties squatted halfway, grabbing the handlebar desperately.Pancake stoves, shovels, rakes, and scrapers were all thrown onto the car, and mung bean flour paste, eggs, crackers, and fried dough sticks were spilled on the ground.

"Competing, isn't it?!" The leading urban management officer, who was born thick, got angry, stretched his waist, and pulled the car and people out a step away.

The pancake spreader let go, rushed up and hugged the Chengguan.

"Let's go!" The city manager struggled to free himself.

"No, I can't take it away!" The pancake spreader hugged the urban management's waist tightly.

The urban management seized the hand that was spreading the pancakes and twisted it outward. The pancake spreader couldn't bear the pain and let go.The urban management officer picked up his collar and sent it outside. The pancake spread was thrown into the crowd, got up quickly, and rushed forward again. The urban management officer raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

The spread of pancakes froze in place, at a loss.

"Shame on your face! Let's go!" The four urban managers lifted their cars and started to leave.At this time, one hand held onto the handlebar and forcefully pushed the raised car down.

The leader of the urban management was about to swear, but when he turned around, he saw clearly that it was Master Liu, and he choked back the swear words.

"Master Six."

Sixth Master put a lazy face on his face: "Captain Zhang, what are you doing?"

Team Zhang corrected his color: "Perform official duties."

Mr. Liu grabbed the pancake spreader and pointed to the five fingerprints on his face, "Is this official business?"

A city manager next to him wanted to show off his strength, "What are you doing? Just stay and do nothing!"

The sixth master smiled: "Captain Zhang, who speaks the truth here? How about I talk to this little brother?"

Team Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't, he just came here and is not sensible. Sixth Master, we have no choice but to confiscate the business without a license, which is reasonable and legal! He didn't cooperate with our work, obstructed official duties, and even smashed our car lights. , according to the rules, we must bring back the people and the car, if you want to intervene, you have to be reasonable!"

Liu Ye turned to the front of the law enforcement car, and the headlights of the car were indeed smashed.

Sixth Master turned around and looked at the pancake spread: "Lampshade, did you smash the headlight?"

Lampshade nodded, still holding the tricycle.

"The lampshade smashes the lampshade, okay, let go!"

The lampshade still didn't let go.

"My mother told you to apply for a license, apply for a license, and try to be practical, but I didn't listen to it. This time, you're stupid. Let go! You operate without a license, and your car is confiscated. They are not reasonable! "

The lampshade had to let go.

Liu Ye pointed to the headlight cover of the car: "If you smash your car, how much will you have to pay?"

Team Zhang hesitated and said, "300 yuan."

Sixth Master took out a handful of crumpled money from his pocket, counted the whole bills and stuffed them into Team Zhang's hand.

"140, I'll give it to you first, how many lampshades do you have?" Master Liu asked the lampshades.

"They took all the money from me, my place, and here," said Lamp Shaer.

"I have it here!" Pinball jumped out from the crowd, took out 200 yuan and handed it to Master Liu.

"Give me back that 46." The urban management officer returned the 46 yuan to Liu Ye, and Liu Ye returned the money to Pinball.

"Whoever we are with, you don't need to pay back!"

"Who the hell is with you and me. One yard is one yard, and I still owe you 150 four," Liu Ye turned to look at Team Zhang, "The things are also confiscated, and the money is also fined, so you don't have to take it away. ?”

"Okay!" Team Zhang directed the three urban management officers to carry the tricycle into the car, and turned around to leave.

"Don't go, it's not over," Liu Ye stopped Dui Zhang, "Your case is settled, who will pay for his mouth?"

Team Zhang and several other urban management officers froze in place.

Liu Ye pouted his mouth towards the lampshade: "Go, slap your mouth!"

"Damn it!" Several small traders in the crowd couldn't hold back their anger, and started booing.

Lampshade's face was flushed from suffocation, his mouth was pursed, his chin was stretched out, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Dui.But the feet never left the place.

The sixth master looked at the lampshade and said nothing for a long time, "Look at your sex, you're working hard on the spot, and your stool is dry? It's a pity that you are also a standing urinator, come on! Team Zhang, he is kind enough to let you, but you have to pay for it." Also, should we change someone else?"

Pinball rushed over: "I smoke, I smoke!"

Master Liu kicked the pinball: "Little dick, get out! It's not your turn here!"

Sixth Master walked towards Captain Zhang slowly, looked at him face to face, and narrowed his eyes.The crowd fell silent, and everyone watched Liu Ye's actions as if they were watching a ghost story.

"Sixth Master??" Dui Zhang made a hoarse sound in his throat, and looked at Sixth Master nervously.

Sixth Master raised his hand, but slowly put it down, and gently patted Dui Zhang's face. "Benevolence and righteousness belong to benevolence and righteousness. Having said that, we can bear it without doing anything next time. Honest people are squeezed right, so I can't tell!"

Team Zhang nodded again and again, and led the people away in a hurry.

Some people in the crowd were disappointed, and they were angry: "Fuck, Sixth Master, Sixth Master, that's all there is to love!"

Liu Ye looked at the man: "Don't go, I don't dare to slap him, it's more than enough to slap you!" After saying that, he walked towards the man, the man saw that his momentum was wrong, and he was pissed off.

"What the hell are you looking at! The adults have lost you all, why don't you come here to watch the excitement? Get out, get out!" Master Liu yelled at the crowd.

People scattered like birds and beasts.Lampshade faltered and hawed what else he wanted to say.

"Don't worry about it! Let's save another car later!" Sixth Master said, shaking his hands.

"Sixth brother, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"How embarrassing to go to your house Baizhai all the time??"

Sixth Master's face suddenly tilted, his complexion turned pale, his legs went limp, and he was about to fall down.

The lampshade lifted up: "Brother Six??"

Sixth Master gave a bleak smile and pointed to his heart, "It's an old problem, it will be fine in a while."
