Chapter 130 Cheng Sai, old dog
Cheng Sai is an ordinary person.
The life trajectory of many orphans without parents in Xiacheng District is similar: he was abandoned as an infant, met an old dog and felt pity for him, and gave him a little food to barely survive until he was four or five years old.
After that, he barely survived by relying on neighborhood donations and petty theft, and then he encountered a gangster named Snakehead.
Either give 70% of what you steal every day to the smuggler, or be kicked in the mud by a bunch of smuggler's gangsters.
Cheng Sai refused to accept it and had to accept it even after being beaten several times.
Here he met Ding Yi, Ding Ling and Yan Yang.
Unlike boys, girls like Ding Ling and Yan Yang, who have been cute since childhood, are treated much better. The snakeheads will feed them, dress them up, and then sell them on black market websites.
There was a fat woman who had been attracted to the two of them for a long time. The fat woman asked them to call her "Mom", and the smuggler called the fat woman Madam.
Cheng Sai didn't understand the meaning of these words at that time.
Later, when he was in his teens, before Cheng Sai, who was filled with evil spirits, could take revenge, the snakehead and his thugs got into trouble. Their house was ransacked by a strong man with tattoos on his arms, leaving his body intact.
Only then did Cheng Sai realize that the snakeheads were just low-class gangsters and that the people who ransacked the snakeheads' homes were local gangs.
On top of the gangs there is the neighborhood overlord, on top of the neighborhood overlord there is the municipal police department, and on top of the police department there are giant corporations.
The world is big, and he is worthless.
After the smuggler died, the children who were exploited by him were free and looked for other ways of life.
Either change his identity and work for another smuggler, or set up his own business and take over the smuggler's business.
Cheng Sai stole things for the smuggler. In the past few years, he had a good relationship with Ding Yi, who also grew up as a street child. The two hit it off and started working alone.
They broke into the fat woman's nightclub and kidnapped Ding Ling, and Ding Ling took Yan Yang with him... The predecessor of Night Walker, the "Little Tigers", was officially established.
——The most popular street boxing champion in Yehuo Street at that time was called "Tiger Emperor". His fans called themselves Xiaohu, and Cheng Sai was also a fan.
Isn’t Xiaohu’s team the Xiaohu team?
A few years later, Cheng Sai seemed to have taken some kind of hormones and became stronger and tougher in a malnourished environment. They no longer had to be thieves and could finally support themselves in Xiacheng District.
Cheng Sai practices boxing every day and is full of muscles; Ding Yi is gentle and gentle, looking like a combination of the eldest brother and the master in the bandit village.
It was Ding Yi who taught other people in this small group how to read, which made everyone's academic qualifications much better than the average street gangsters who had not graduated from prenatal education.
As for the side effects of literacy, it seems that only Cheng Sai's growing hostility to giant companies has deepened.
After reaching adulthood, everyone is ready to find their own way.
Cheng Sai is going to work hard in the underground boxing ring and dreams of becoming a boxing champion; Ding Yi has saved enough money and wants to enroll in the Old Northern Programming Technical School for further study, and later plans to take his sister Ding Ling to Shangcheng District to receive serious medical education; Yan
Yang Ze is planning to stay in Yehuo Street and open a small shop.
The accident happened just before they were about to go their separate ways.
Ding Yi, who had always been in good health, suddenly suffered an acute heart attack and fell into a coma due to insufficient oxygen supply to his brain.
The old dog was diagnosed with heart failure, which means that the heart that was originally beating powerfully suddenly became weak and could no longer support blood supply to the body.
Sudden changes caused the originally prosperous small group to fall to the bottom.
Heart diseases are not terminal illnesses today, and there are many ways to cure them. The heart can be replaced with an artificial prosthesis to replace the blood supply function; other flesh can also be replaced with prostheses to reduce the blood supply load of the heart.
But no matter what kind of cure, it requires money!
Illness is not a terminal illness, poverty is!
It is precisely because of Ding Yi's illness that the small group has moved on to its current life trajectory.
Cheng Sai gave up being a boxing champion and took Ding Ling to become a cyberpunk; Yan Yang parted ways with his friends and went to Shangcheng District to become an idol.
Now think about it carefully, Ding Yi's heart disease happened suddenly without any warning.
What if it’s not heart disease?
On the way to Yehuo Street, Cheng Sai thought.
What if it was just because Ding Yi was infected with an early version of the wormwood virus more than a year ago that the virus increased the load on the brain and prevented the heart from supplying blood?
Cheng Sai would rather believe that his best friend was the host of the early clinical trials of the absinthe virus than believe that everything was just a simple accident.
Because this means that they are just losing to rich and powerful conspirators who don't know where to hide, rather than losing to an invisible and intangible fucking fate.
Ming Kai stood side by side with Cheng Sai and spoke calmly:
"Now you can explain what you want to do in Xiacheng District. Where are the key clues you mentioned?"
Cheng Sai's eyes flashed:
"I may have discovered a patient who was infected with an early version of the virus a year ago. Didn't I just say it before? Unless we find people infected with the initial version of the virus, we can't create a countermeasure program. This is an opportunity to make a contribution."
When he heard the word 'merit', Ming Kai also shut up and became serious.
Cheng Sai is not the only one who craves merit.
If it was really possible to find the key clue, what if he accompanied Cheng Sai on a race?
Not only is it possible to win the favor of the future heir to the reborn military, but participating in the completion of S-class tasks is also a highlight on his resume.
Even though he has risen through the ranks, he is still unknown, and he will tell the difference in two months.
Yehuo Street is no different from when Cheng Sai left.
The crowded and noisy crowds are rubbing shoulders with each other, and various neon signs on both sides of the street are still shining.
Nowadays, Cheng Sai is a company dog that everyone in Xiacheng District fears. After seeing the out-of-place black suit, pedestrians spontaneously squeezed aside to make way for him and Ming Kai.
This road leads directly to the old dog clinic.
The clinic is still the same, with its dim green signboard flashing and flickering, and the voltage unstable.
"Uncle Dog! Are you here?"
Cheng Sai pushed the door open and went in, with Ming Kai following behind him.
"It's closed, it's closed! Don't let people sleep! This is not a 24-hour public toilet, and doctors also need to take a rest!"
The old dog's skinny body was only wearing a pair of underpants, and he came out of the consulting room cursing.
"Two groups of people came in one night, and they were all like this. They didn't even knock on the door, and they treated it like their own home."
"Uncle Dog, good evening."
Cheng Sai greeted him.
The old dog sat down on the ground.
Stiff for two seconds, the old dog ran towards the inner room on hands and feet, shouting:
"Ghost! I have no money! I have never prescribed expired hemostatic medicine for you! I have never deducted the amount of medicine for you! I have watched you grow up over the years and have helped you a lot. If you want to die, don't come to me!"
I am a good citizen!"
Cheng Sai and Ming Kai looked at each other, and Ming Kai pointed to the consulting room inside.
Cheng Sai raised his hand, motioning to leave it to him, and then chased the old dog into the second clinic.
At this time, the old dog was already wearing a black and yellow Taoist robe that he found somewhere, a copper coin sword in his left hand and a purple sand charm in his right hand, and he was still muttering something.
"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva bless me, with six pure depleted uranium bullets, one breath of 3,600 revolutions, with great mercy and compassion, I will save the world~"
Cheng Sai was helpless and pointed at himself after approaching.
"Uncle Dog, it's me, Cheng Sai! Not a ghost!"
The old dog tremblingly raised his eyelids, protected the copper coin sword in front of him, and asked cautiously:
"Cheng Sai?"
Cheng Sai nodded.
"Not a ghost?"
Cheng Sai nodded again.
"I watched the live broadcast...I saw with my own eyes that you were stabbed through the heart and died miserably...you didn't die?"
"Oh, that's not the case. I'm still dead."
"You still said you're not a ghost!"
The old dog jumped up and put the purple sand talisman that read "Quantum Entanglement, Demons Retreat" on Cheng Sai's head.
Seeing that it was useless, he crawled back and huddled in a corner:
"Woooooo, I'll burn paper for you tomorrow. Don't you like boxing? I'll burn ten gold belts for you. Can you please stop coming to me..."
Cheng Sai was helpless and didn't bother to explain anything to the old dog anymore. He stood up and turned around to walk towards Ding Yi's life-saving freezer.
Ding Yi was still sleeping in the barn, his face pale.
