Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Lin Shufang asked curiously, "Zhong Laoer, what do you mean by the four irons of life you just mentioned?"

Zhong Yuemin spoke without thinking, "We were classmates together, fought together. Together..." Only then did he feel that it was a bit inappropriate to say this.

"Zhong Laoer, why don't you say anything? What are the last two?" Chen Yuhong and Li Weiguo also looked at him curiously.

"Second brother, what are those two behind?"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Lin Shufang's serious eyes and suddenly hesitated. He seemed to be weighing his words, and his eyes flickered. Lin Shufang looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little confused, wondering what he was thinking.

Chen Yuhong also said curiously, "Zhong Laoer, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now!"

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and finally said, "You asked me to tell you that the other two had visited prostitutes together and shared the spoils."

Lin Shufang and Chen Yuhong were stunned. They had never expected Zhong Yuemin to say such a thing. Their faces instantly turned red, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes. They felt that Zhong Yuemin's words were not only vulgar, but also full of disrespect for women.

"Zhong Yuemin, how can you say such a thing?" Chen Yuhong asked.

Zhong Yuemin didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with his words. He replied nonchalantly, "You see, I didn't want to say it at first, but you forced me to say it. Then you blamed me after I said it. It's so hard for me!"

Chen Yuhong and Lin Shufang became even angrier after hearing this. They felt that Zhong Yuemin was simply unreasonable. So they said coldly: "You must give us an explanation."

"Yes, or we'll make you look bad."

"The first of these four bonds is the bond between classmates. You know, the youth years we spent together on campus, that deep friendship is as strong as iron. The second is the bond between comrades-in-arms. Those brothers who once fought together on the battlefield, their friendship is also as strong as steel."

Zhong Yuemin continued to explain: "These four irons are the four major experiences and tests in life. Friendship between classmates is the memory of youth; fighting side by side is the sublimation of friendship; and prostitution and sharing the spoils are the dark side of life that is difficult to avoid."

Chen Yuhong and Lin Shufang fell into deep thought after hearing this. Although Zhong Yuemin's words were straightforward, they also revealed the true meaning of friendship in life.

Chen Yuhong looked at Zhong Yuemin eagerly, thinking about the last words he said to Liu Minghua, her bright eyes flashing with anticipation. She knew that she also needed money, but how to make it? A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, and at this moment, she mustered up the courage to ask Zhong Yuemin: "Zhong Laoer, can you take me with you in the way you just mentioned to make money?"

Zhong Yuemin did not answer directly, but turned to look at Lin Shufang on the side. Lin Shufang smiled and replied: "Big sister, do you want it?"

Without waiting for Lin Shufang to say anything, Chen Yuhong immediately said anxiously, "Zhong Laoer, what you are asking is just nonsense, right? Tell me quickly."

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, secretly admiring Chen Yuhong's sharpness and straightforwardness. He knew that this woman was not simple. Although she looked weak, she was strong inside. He cleared his throat and said, "There is a job to repair electrical appliances now. See if anyone of you is interested."

Chen Yuhong asked doubtfully: "How much money can this make?"

"That depends on how much you can fix."

"After a while, we can make money by reselling goods. There are many popular commodities in the market now. If we can buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price, we can make a profit."

Chen Yuhong fell into deep thought after hearing this. She knew it was a risky thing to do. But she was really short of money. Her younger brother was getting engaged and needed money. She had no choice. So Chen Yuhong, Lin Shufang and Liu Minghua also joined the army of electrical appliance repairmen.

Zhong Yuemin also began to prepare for going to Hong Kong Island, calling Hou'erbutt and Ermaozi. "Who in the city of 49 is from the railway compound?"

"Yuemin, why are you looking for them?"

"Aren't we going to Hong Kong Island in a while? We want to bring back some stuff then. Monkey butt, idiot, listen to me, it would be best if we can open up a transportation route when we go to Hong Kong Island this time. We have to find a way to get the people in the railway compound along." Zhong Yuemin said in a deep voice.

"Yuemin, the people in the railway compound you are talking about, are you referring to..." Hou'erbutt asked puzzledly.

"They are the ones that travel back and forth between Guangzhou and the Special Administrative Region. They come and go every day. If we can use them, our transportation lines will be much more convenient."

"Yuemin, this is not an easy task!"

"All the people on the railway are government employees. Why would they help us transport our goods?"

"Don't worry, you two! I have my own way of dealing with this. You just need to do as I say. First, find out if you know anyone in the railway compound. Then you can have a good talk with them."

Monkey Butt said at this time, "Yuemin, I actually know a few of them. They are now train attendants, but I don't know where they are."

"Okay, these people are very important. We need to treat them well and let them know our sincerity. Please contact them and we will treat them to a meal."

On Saturday night, Xinqiao Hotel was bustling with activity. Zhong Yuemin and several young men from the railway compound sat together, toasting each other and creating a lively atmosphere.

"Come on, brothers, drink this glass of wine, and we'll be brothers from now on." Yuemin raised his glass high, looking very heroic.

Zhang Xiaogang, a buddy standing nearby, smiled and shook his head. "Yuemin, you are wrong. Our friendship cannot be measured by wine. We once fought side by side and stood by each other!"

Laughter and conversation intertwined, at this moment, time seemed to have stopped for them. Under the lights of Xinqiao Hotel, it was the witness of their passionate youth and the eternal mark of brotherhood.

"Yes, Yuemin, what you said is not right." A tall and thin young man, Li Zhiqi, also said with a smile. "In fact, we have been brothers for a long time. We have even fought with others together."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and raised his glass. "I said the wrong thing, buddy. We have had so many fights over the years that I have forgotten a lot of things. I can't recognize you after not seeing you for so many years. I accept the punishment with this glass of wine." Zhong Yuemin drank three glasses in a row.

The topic gradually deepened, they talked about the interesting things in the past, those carefree and lawless days seemed to be just yesterday. They talked about their dreams, some wanted to be a pilot, some wanted to be a scientist, and some wanted to be a teacher.

When talking about the fun things in the past, everyone burst into laughter again. Those beautiful memories seemed to have magic, bringing them back to that innocent time. In this bustling city, there is such a group of people who grow up together and face the joys and sorrows of life together. Their friendship is like the fine wine on the table, which becomes more fragrant as it ages.

They talked about the past, and those memories that had been diluted by the years were reawakened at this moment. Those days when their blood was boiling, those days when they fought side by side for friendship, dreams and dignity. Each story was like a piece of puzzle, piecing together their deep friendship and common past.

After three rounds of drinks, the topic turned to the future. They agreed that no matter what difficulties they would encounter in the future, they would support each other and face them together. Li Zhiqi asked, "Yuemin, what does Hou'erbu want to talk to us about? If you have something to say, just tell us. As long as we brothers can do it, we will do it without hesitation."

Zhong Yuemin stood up and gently clinked the wine glass in his hand with the glasses of everyone present. The crisp sound echoed in the air. He drank it all in one gulp, put down the glass, and said with a serious expression: "Brothers, this is what happened..."

Zhong Yuemin paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts. He looked around at the people present, and everyone's face was full of expectations. He knew that these people regarded him as a buddy, and in this era, brotherhood was very important.

"I want you to help me transport some things." Zhong Yuemin said in a deep voice. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of firmness and determination.

"What are you transporting?" Zhang Yonggan asked first, his face full of confusion.

Zhong Yuemin picked up his wine glass, glanced at everyone, and said, "Brothers, we have been brothers for such a long time, I will just speak frankly."

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhong Yuemin, waiting for him to continue. "Well, I'm not sure what it is. I'll know after I go to Hong Kong Island." Zhong Yuemin scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He asked someone to help him, but he didn't know what it was.

"Yuemin, you can ask us for help, but we can't do anything sensitive." Li Zhiqi reminded from the side.

"Don't worry, I know clearly what can be done and what cannot be done. If you are willing, I will find you when I am ready. Of course, I will not ask you to help me for nothing."

"Yuemin, aren't you slapping my brother in the face by saying this?"

"Brothers, if it's just this once, I won't say anything. But it will be a long-term thing, and you guys will have to take care of everything."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhong Yuemin, saying in unison: "No problem, between us brothers, any words are superfluous. If you need anything, just ask."

"Okay! I'll come find you then! Prepare the tickets for us in a few days." Zhong Yuemin was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Yuemin, don't worry! I will definitely arrange everything for you." Everyone chatted for a while and then left.

The sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto the face of the sleeping Zhong Yuemin. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and Zhou Xiaobai was no longer around him. He lazily got up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked out. A group of people in the living room were busy repairing second-hand electrical appliances. Zhou Xiaobai's female classmates saw him and teased him, "Brother-in-law, why are you up so early? It's not even noon yet!"

Zheng Tong was sitting on a stool, looking at the circuit board in his hand, checking it from time to time. Hearing Zhong Yuemin's movement, he raised his head and smiled brightly. "Hey! Yuemin, why are you up? Don't you think it's time for dinner and want to treat us to a meal?"

"All you've done today is eat. If you keep eating, you'll bankrupt me. The landlord doesn't have any surplus food."

"Hey, why are you crying poor in front of us?"

"Brother-in-law, we haven't even opened our mouths yet, and you've shut us up."

"Don't worry, you foodies, I'll have plenty for you. I'll open a restaurant for you and let you eat there every day." Hehehe...

Zhong Yuemin saw Zheng Tong flipping the circuit board over and over, and asked with a gloating look, "Zheng Tong, can't you find the problem? After such a long time, you are still a jack of all trades."

Zheng Tong put the circuit board aside after hearing what Zhong Yuemin said. "Look at how you gloat over other people's misfortunes. I just don't want to fix it. If I want to fix it, it will only take a few minutes. You said a while ago that you were going to Hong Kong Island on vacation. Are you still going?"

"Of course I'm going. I've already made plans. What about you? Are you going?"

"Who's going?"

"Currently it's Nan Hou'erpu, Ermaozi, Ning Wei, me and Zhou Xiaobai."

Zheng Tong joked, "If I go, will you reimburse me for my travel expenses?"

"Hey, I thought it was something else! No problem."

Zheng Tong thought for a while. "Forget it! I'll go, nothing's going on. I'll stay here to look after the house for you. There are so many things in the yard, can you rest assured if no one is there?"

Ning Wei said on the side, "Why don't I stay and look after the house."

Zheng Tong was not happy. "Ning Wei, you should go with them! It will be fine as long as I am here to watch over you."

Zhong Yuemin teased, "Zheng Tong, you think we are in the way! We didn't bother you at night, did we? Can't you let go? It doesn't matter, just pretend we don't exist."

Jiang Biyun lowered her head in embarrassment, but Zheng Tong had nothing to be embarrassed about. "Yuemin, you are a man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man."

Zhou Xiaobai interrupted the two people's nonsense. "Are you two done yet? There are so many lesbians here!"

On the third day after the holiday, Zhong Yuemin and his group of five boarded a train heading south. Originally, they planned to bring their little friend Zhong Shihua with them, but Chen Yijun strongly opposed it, fearing that she could not stand the long train ride. Zhong Yuemin walked into the carriage and found it was a private room. He patted Li Zhiqi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, buddy, for being so thoughtful and arranging a private room for us."

Li Zhiqi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Here, my buddy has the final say." His words were full of pride. Along the way, Li Zhiqi took care of everyone in every detail, and had delicious meals delivered to them every time it was time for dinner.

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but joked, "This Li Zhiqi is simply our chef! I've been taking trains for so many years, but I've never been treated like this before."

Zhong Yuemin also agreed. "This kid is really thoughtful. This is obviously a special meal for us. The food on the train is not so delicious."

Li Zhiqi came over. "How is it? Are you guys satisfied?"

"of course."
