When he was studying, Li Xia believed that Xia was a kind of courage, which was to help cowardly and timid classmates to resist the bullying of the school bully with momentum and force. This kind of help was simple and direct, and he felt it directly in his heart, full of a sense of justice.
This kind of chivalrous spirit in his student days looks very immature in retrospect, but it did lay the foundation for Li Xia’s initial understanding of his own outlook on life and values.
As he grew older, Li Xia began to come into contact with Hong Kong movies. At that time, movies about young and Dangerous gangsters in society were very popular. In these movies, chivalry was not only the protection of the weak, but also the act of sharing the joys and sorrows of the friends around him.
Whether it's stabbing a friend at your expense or standing up in a street fight, it boils down to two words: loyalty. If it were anything more, it might just be meaningless gatherings and fun.
Later, due to family reasons, I suddenly dropped out of high school and entered the society. It didn't matter whether I was a hero or not.
Now, I just want to earn some money, study for my brother, and treat my mother's illness.
boom.
Li Xia pushed open the double doors at the end of the corridor. As the door panels slowly opened, a bright light squeezed out from the crack in the door.
The light shone on Li Xia's face, making him couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The boxing gym I visited last week suddenly changed its appearance.
The hall that originally had only a few dim chandeliers was now replaced by rows of square and bright LED floodlights.
The rusty cage-like boxing ring disappeared, and a large open space was cleared in the center of the boxing gym hall, with the ground being a hard cement floor.
There are four cameras with red dots set up on tripods in the four directions of the open space. The lenses are neatly arranged, showing a 360-degree view of the center of the open space without blind spots.
A circular LOGO produced by a projector lamp unexpectedly appeared on the cement floor in the center of the open space, an image with a blue circle as the background and four words written on it: Yaksha Fight.
And those gamblers who crowded together desperately, holding betting slips and wine bottles in their hands, and never stopping talking, disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a dozen or so people wearing masks and black jackets, quietly
A man standing quietly.
Their masks resemble Japanese yakshas, with two big horns on their heads, brows tightly knitted together, and underneath are large, deeply sunken black eye sockets, with eyes protruding from the inside like copper bells, and all the teeth in their mouths are exposed.
Very long and pointed.
The green face and fangs look like a man-eating monster.
They were silent and didn't speak, just stood still, and then looked at Li Xia standing at the gate from a distance.
Li Xia's opponent tonight, Big L, stood in the middle of the open space, raised his right hand wearing a heavy glove, smiled and waved to Li Xia, with a sincere smile and crooked eyebrows.
For a moment, Li Xia was in a daze. If it weren't for the guys wearing Yaksha masks standing next to him, it would have felt like he was playing a practice match with his friends.
Li Xia took a deep breath, raised his shoulders, and trotted into the open space.
In fact, before this, Li Xia had asked himself repeatedly in his heart, how could he win over these vicious people who depended on him for his livelihood with his little experience in fighting with classmates in school and fighting with street gangsters?
The last victory was due to the fact that the opponent thought he had won and accidentally attacked the vital parts.
This kind of accidental factor, as long as Big L knew a little bit about it before the game, it would be impossible to give him another chance.
However, the bald boss's words of "5,000 even if you lose" were the final reason for Li Xia to accept the game. Before the game even started, he was already prepared to "lose".
Li Xia followed his habit and clasped his fists at the opponent.
The man named Big L also raised his gloves and saluted him.
Li Xia suddenly felt cold and couldn't help but shudder. Because through the gap between the opponent's two gloves, he saw a pair of eyes that suddenly became serious.
A second later, a question that had nothing to do with the current situation suddenly popped into Li Xia's mind.
Five thousand yuan, is it really enough?
...
The fat bald man who had always been sitting on the Diaoyutai and watching the gamblers' depravity with a smile was now nervously holding a betting slip and sitting in the so-called VIP viewing room temporarily renovated by the Shuitou Gang, waiting.
The start of the boxing match.
"Boss, these smart people are too stingy. They only gave me an upper limit of 10,000 yuan. How dare you say that you are from the welfare bureau?" Thanks to the bald and fat man's relationship, this young man was able to join the VIP list.
room.
"What are you arguing about? Shuitou's handicap is very conscientious. You may not be able to hold it for even one minute." The bald fat man said coldly.
In this game, due to the disparity in strength, in addition to the normal winning and losing, various gameplay methods were developed, such as how long Li Xia can last on stage. The longer the time, the higher the natural odds.
"..." The young man who had heard a little about Big L's strength immediately calmed down. What annoyed him was not the handicap and odds set by Shuitou, but the upper limit of betting.
Whether it was online or people who came to watch the fight directly, they all knew that this was a welfare round specially arranged by the Shuitou Gang, and it was a meeting gift for gamblers who were exposed to a naked boxing match for the first time.
The information of both boxers was clearly listed before the match. One was just a street gangster who had tasted victory for the first time, while the other was the number one boxer in Shuitou who had been dominating the rankings all year round. It was really clear who would win or lose.
The arrangement of the rules of the boxing match is even more unconventional and a bit innovative. The Shuitou Gang deliberately arranged only one bare boxer and the other wearing gloves.
There is a kind of beautiful woman who stands in front of you and twists her waist and hips, and then starts to take off her clothes. You think that you have to have a big fight later, but when she takes off her underwear, she refuses to take it off with you.
Want to see it? I’ll give you a good look when I come back to my house next time.
The temptation of red fruit.
Faced with such an obvious move to attract people, the fat bald man who had already sat at the gambling table no longer cared. A long-lost pleasure came to his heart and he couldn't help but quicken his breathing.
He licked his dry lips and squeezed the betting slip in his hand.
As a VIP, he has no betting limit.
Two million, the same amount as the match between Saudi Arabia and Argentina in last year’s World Cup.
"Boss, can you win?" The young man who lost a lot of money in the World Cup last year and is still paying off the money now actually had the illusion that his right eyelid was twitching.
He wiped the inexplicable tears from his eyes and asked again: "Boss, how many minutes were you detained?"
"I didn't play those fancy things. I bet on Big L to win." Naturally, he couldn't let go in front of his subordinates. The bald boss coughed a few times, leaned forward slightly on the sofa, and pretended to be relaxed, saying,
"Where can you find this kind of short-term financial management project that is sure to make money in this economic environment?"
The young man didn't expect that the boss was quite stable and didn't play any new and interesting games. It's hard to say that the Shuitou Gang is really a place full of talents.
A simple boxing match can actually produce so many tricks and tricks for gamblers to place bets on.
"Can't find it." The young man was a little frustrated. He thought that because of the Welfare Bureau, most people were limited in the amount of bets, which was 10,000 yuan. If they won according to the odds, they would only earn a few hundred, which was quite boring.
Just as he was thinking about it, the young man suddenly came back to his senses and thought that he could try those ancillary items, such as how long he lasted, whether he was KOed by a left punch or a right punch, etc.
"All the online loans have come out, but we can't waste them! We have to use them all!" the young man said secretly, his eyes slowly gained a look, like a struggling young man running on the road of entrepreneurship.
