Chapter 67 "The Godfather of the Devil City" (Part 2)(1/2)
"The second part is coming so soon?" Ning Mang leaned against the back of the chair, but the expression on his face was very soft.
This is a very un-Zhou Yiyang movie. In addition to the beautiful shots, it lacks a lot of dazzling skills.
The entire story has always relied on the three protagonists to advance, abandoning the multi-line narrative used by some directors to show off their skills.
Even people who don't like to think when watching movies can still understand it.
"Does it look good?" Ning Mang turned to ask his cousin. In the past, she always liked to lower her head and do her nails while watching movies. Unexpectedly, she was very focused on watching this time.
"I like this painting style very much. Cousin, Director Zhou is your friend, please introduce it to me! I want to discuss aesthetics with him!"
Ning Mang got goosebumps from his cousin's sweet voice. "You have to know that Lao Zhou is a very serious person, and he treats relationships the same way. You'd better put away your playful mentality.
!”
The cousin pouted, but she was quickly attracted by the plot.
…
Wang Xiaohua walked towards the homeless man opposite and pointed to the child in her arms: "Do you know who threw him?"
The tramp shook his head.
"You stay here every day, how could you not know." Xue Mei put her hands on her waist and looked embarrassed: "Speak quickly!"
The tramp still shook his head, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Lao Jin made a sound and reluctantly threw the bag of bread from his pocket to the ground.
"I picked it up at the convenience store yesterday. I was planning on adding it to dinner tonight."
The tramp finished the bread in three strokes, and then he said:
"Last night, a sneaky man threw it. The light was very dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could see the clothes he was wearing."
After the homeless man's description, a trace of surprise flashed across Wang Xiaohua's face, and then she said: "She should be working at some KTV, they usually wear this kind of uniform. But there are quite a few KTVs around here, we can't go to each house one by one.
Find it!"
At this time, Xue Mei squatted in front of the homeless man, staring at him fiercely like a big sister. She didn't know when a ball of snow appeared in her hand: "There must be something special about his clothes, otherwise you wouldn't be impressed."
It’s going to be so deep! Speak quickly, or I’ll knock out everything you just ate!”
The roles played by Su Yin have always been relatively upright. This is the first time for a rebellious and irritable girl like Xue Mei.
But paired with her dark face, it's quite convincing.
"I said it, I said it!" The homeless man was also afraid: "There is a pattern behind the man, a ball, and a star inside."
The three of them looked at each other and didn't know what kind of logo it was. But with this feature, it was obviously much easier to find it.
"Let's go!" Wang Xiaohua regained her energy: "Baby, if I didn't have money, I would definitely take care of you."
Generally speaking, it would be very scary to say these words from the actor's face, but his eyes and tone are no different from a loving mother.
From Zhou Yiyang's point of view, this acting skill can definitely win awards.
Yes, in accordance with the tradition of Yiyang Entertainment, he booked the theater and invited everyone to watch the movie as always.
"Sister Hua, wait for me!" Xue Mei ran over happily, leaving only their happy footprints on the snow.
Lao Jin shook his head, but still followed: "Wait for me, I don't even know how to respect the old and care for the young!"
By noon, there were far fewer people on the street.
People who came to the city to do shopping rushed back home, and many people had New Year's Eve dinner at noon.
There were only a few pedestrians on the cheerful streets.
"They're all back home!" Wang Xiaohua wrapped the baby in a coat: "Just wait, you can see your parents later. Of course, if they are bastards, I will support you even if I die!"
"You should support yourself first!" Lao Jin still liked to attack Wang Xiaohua.
Xue Mei looked at the exchange between them, seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously quickened her pace.
When Lao Jin passed the window of a women's clothing store, he saw a short girl standing on a chair cleaning the glass and suddenly said:
"Didn't you just ask me what I did before wandering?"
"I used to be an athlete, not famous, with a wife and children. Later I became addicted to gambling and alcoholism, and I owe a lot of debt."
He looked down at Xue and said with a wry smile: "I ran away, they, they died too."
The final twist was so big that both Wang Xiaohua and Xue Mei fell silent.
"You are really... irresponsible." Wang Xiaohua still said what she was thinking.
Lao Jin didn't reply. He just turned his head and stared at the window. A middle-aged man took the girl's hand and said gently: "I'll come, you go help your mother collect the clothes, don't drop them."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face turned into Lao Jin, and the girl turned into a girl about the same age as Xue Mei.
"Dad, will those people come today?"
"Yes, I will come." Lao Jin said word by word: "When they come, just say I'm missing. They, they will never force you!"
"What about your father?" The girl grabbed the corner of Lao Jin's clothes.
"You and your mother should be fine, your father is useless, really useless!"
He ran away, leaving his wife and children behind.
He lied, they are all still alive, he just didn't dare to go back and face the debt, face the mother and daughter.
"Lao Jin, look there's someone lying in front of you!"
Wang Xiaohua's scream brought Lao Jin back from his memories. When he looked up, he found an old man lying in the snow.
There were not many pedestrians passing by, but no one stopped to help.
Wang Xiaohua came over, and an auntie who was sweeping the street reminded her: "Be careful, don't get caught. I think you are also from a poor family, so I told you!"
"Lao Jin," Wang Xiaohua had already squatted down: "Xiaomei, come here and help me hold the baby!"
Xue Mei ran over immediately, exhaling white breath from her mouth, and caught the baby: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
The old man slowly opened his eyes, with a very sad expression on his face: "Thank you, thank you. I just fell down, just give me a hand."
Lao Jin came over anyway, and he and Wang Xiaohua worked together to help the old man up.
"Thank you, thank you!" the old man said gratefully: "What is your phone number? I will ask my daughter to come and say thank you when I get back!"
"No need." Xue Mei replied first. None of them had mobile phones: "We are just happy to help people without leaving their names. Please call us alive**!"
"Old man," Wang Xiaohua supported the other party: "Where do you live, I will send you there. Lao Jin, Xiaomei, I can only trouble you to find that KTV."
"What KTV?" The old man seemed to have difficulty with his legs and feet, but his consciousness was still clear: "My son-in-law works in a KTV."
"There's something on their uniforms..." Wang Xiaohua drew out the pattern, and the old man laughed:
"We are really destined. My son-in-law works there. I will take you there."
"Sir, can you do it?" Lao Jin asked hesitantly.
"Not far, just nearby. Just looking for my son-in-law."
On the roadside, there were children setting off firecrackers and laughing happily.
When they found the KTV, they met the old man's son-in-law.
"Most of us here don't have children," the son-in-law scratched his head, regretting that he couldn't help them.
At this time, a man who looked like a security guard came over: "Xiao Xu, his wife just gave birth to a baby some time ago, and I saw him buying maternal and infant supplies two days ago!"
"Where is this Xiao Xu?" Wang Xiaohua asked anxiously.
But Lao Jin was staring at that person, who was one of the debt collectors.
He subconsciously wanted to run.
"He, he didn't come to work today. But I know where his wife works." The man did not recognize the unkempt old Jin.
They move towards their next destination.
Unexpectedly, when passing under the overpass, I encountered a group of hooligans.
They surrounded the three of them and said viciously: "Bring all the valuables, otherwise you can't even think of running away!"
Wang Xiaohua desperately protected the baby, but saw the gangster getting closer and closer.
Xue Mei shouted and rushed forward, but was pushed by a gangster and pushed to the snow.
At this time, Lao Jin suddenly broke out and started fighting with the gangsters.
"Lao Jin, Lao Jin didn't lie to me, he really was an athlete?" Wang Xiaohua was shocked by Lao Jin's fighting ability.
"It turns out that Lao Jin is so good at fighting, he should work as a security guard..." Xue Mei closed her mouth. If Lao Jin does a serious job, he will definitely be discovered by debt collectors.
However, it was still difficult for Lao Jin to deal with so many people, so Wang Xiaohua had no choice but to hand the child over to Xue Mei and rush forward.
Unexpectedly, a gangster picked up an iron rod and hit Wang Xiaohua on the back.
Her screams alarmed people in a bar not far away.
A young man rushed out and, together with Lao Jin, fought off the gangsters.
