This writing section mainly tells the story of how Xia Tian, ​​who had nowhere to go after being released from prison, was forced to seek refuge with Chen Wenhu, his "big brother" whom he met in prison. He started a new job in a bathing center and was gradually involved in disputes in the underground world. The story will show the key turning point in his transformation from an ordinary young man to a martial artist. --- ### Chapter 1: Return from the snowstorm December 2004, Northeast Ice City. The cold wind howled and heavy snow fell, covering the whole city in a layer of silver. This is the coldest winter in Ice City in twenty years, and it is also the day when Summer is released from prison. The thick iron door of Ice City's No. 1 Prison slowly opened, making a harsh sound of metal friction. Two figures walked out of the door one after another - one was a prison guard in uniform, and the other was a young man carrying a shabby bag and wearing a thick cotton jacket. "Xia Tian, ​​be well from now on, don't do anything again!" Prison guard Brother Liu took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, sighing, "Let's go, remember not to look back, it's unlucky!" Xia Tian took the crumpled banknote, with a wry smile on his lips: "Brother Liu, thank you." In the past three years in prison, Brother Liu was one of the few prison guards who was kind to him. The other guards were either fierce or looked on with cold eyes. Only Brother Liu occasionally brought him a pack of cigarettes or secretly stuffed him with some medicine after being beaten. Saying goodbye to Brother Liu, Xia Tian stepped on the thick snow and walked towards the bus stop. The cold wind scraped against his face like a knife, but he felt no pain - this coldness was nothing compared to the days in prison. His name is Xia Tian, ​​he is twenty-one years old this year. When he was five years old, his parents died and he was adopted by his aunt's family. He once excelled in studies and was the pride of his aunt. He was also known as "other people's children" in the village. Until that fateful summer three years ago - at the celebration party after the college entrance examination, some drunk gangsters at the next table were flirtatious and even touched Wu Xiran, the school beauty whom he had a crush on for a long time. As a young and energetic man, he picked up a beer bottle and opened it for the leading gangster. As a result, he was convicted of intentional injury and sentenced to three years in prison. The bus was driving slowly in the snow. In summer, I leaned on the cold seats and looked at the passing snow scenery outside the window. Three years of youth were lost behind bars. He missed the college admission notice and the normal trajectory of life. What made him even more heartbroken was that his aunt's family didn't come to pick him up after he was released from prison today. In the past three years, my aunt only saw him once in the first year, and never again after that. Perhaps this blood relationship ended with his imprisonment. "It's Shengfa Village ahead. Is anyone getting off the bus?" The driver's rough voice interrupted his thoughts. "Yes!" Xia Tian responded, picked up the bag and walked towards the car door. Standing in the snow at the entrance of the village, Xia Tian looked at the familiar country road, but couldn't take a step forward. It was timid to be close to home, not to mention the return of a prisoner from a labor camp. "Back! Back!" He cheered to himself, and finally set foot on the road home. The village is still the same village, and three years of time seem to have stopped here. But when Xia Tian walked to the door of his aunt's house, the sight before him made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave - the door was locked with iron chains, and there was thick snow on the lock. The snow in the yard was up to his ankles. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time. "Moved?" Xia Tian muttered to himself, turned around and walked towards the canteen in the village. The canteen was filled with smoke, and several villagers were playing mahjong. The appearance of summer makes the noisy house instantly quiet. "Hey, isn't this the boy from Lao Xia's family? He's out!" The second uncle of the shop owner walked out from behind the counter and looked him up and down. Xia Tian forced a smile: "Second uncle, why is there no one in my aunt's house?" "Hey, you don't know yet, right?" The second uncle sighed, "The second year after you joined, your uncle was electrocuted to death while working on the construction site. I heard that the boss paid 20,000 yuan, so your aunt moved away with your brother." The second uncle took a pack of red plum cigarettes from the shelf and stuffed it to Xia Tian: "Take it and smoke it. I just came out to take a shower in the city to get rid of bad luck. You are also twenty-one this year. Find a job and work hard. Your brain has been working since you were young. As long as you are down-to-earth, you can't go wrong!" These words pierced Xia Tian's heart like a knife. He stood at the entrance of the village waiting for the bus, lit a red plum cigarette, and took a deep breath. The first thing you learn in prison is to smoke, the second thing is to fight, and the third thing is to accept your fate. Smoke lingered in the cold air, and two figures emerged in Xia Tian's mind - one was Wu Xiran, who should have gone to college three years ago and started a new life; the other was Chen Wenhu, the "Brother Tiger" he met in prison, who was sentenced to seven years for a vicious brawl that resulted in death and was released last autumn. Brother Hu took good care of him in prison. He often said that he had a bathing center and a hotel in Bingcheng, and asked Xia Tian to find him after he was released from prison. "Follow Brother Hu and enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food." Xia Tian originally didn't want to take this road, but now he has nowhere to go and only has fifteen dollars left in his pocket. When the bus lurched forward, he had already made up his mind. ## Chapter 2: Brother Tiger The streets of Bingcheng are more prosperous than in Xia Tian's memory. High-rise buildings are rising from the ground, neon lights are flashing in the snowy night, and pedestrians on the road are hurriedly passing by wrapped in thick down jackets. No one pays attention to this young man carrying a rag bag. Xia Tian found a public phone booth and dialed the number he knew by heart. "Hello?" A rough male voice came from the other end of the phone. "Brother Hu, it's me, Xia Tian." His voice was trembling, not sure whether it was because of the cold or nervousness. "Summer? Which summer?" The other party obviously didn't respond. "Third Ward, Xia Xia sleeps in your lower bunk. You asked me to look for you when you got out..." "Fuck! Oh my God!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly raised an octave, "You fucking came out? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Where are you? I'll have someone pick you up!" Half an hour later, a black Santana stopped in front of the phone booth. The car window rolled down, and a bald head wearing a gold chain poked his head out: "Summer? Brother Hu asked me to pick you up." The car drove into the city center and stopped in front of a bathing center called "Bihaiyuntian". The neon sign was particularly eye-catching in the snowy night. Several high-end cars were parked at the door, and the guests coming in and out were well-dressed. Xia Tian followed Bald Head into the bathing center, passed through the splendid lobby, and took the elevator to the top-floor office. Opening the door, a burly middle-aged man with a sinewy face stood up from the leather sofa and opened his arms. "Xiaotian! I miss my brother so much!" Chen Wenhu was even fatter than he remembered in the summer. A gold chain as thick as his thumb hung around his neck, and the gold ring on his hand sparkled under the light. He hugged Xia Tian, ​​and the strong smell of cologne mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol hit his face. "Brother Tiger..." Xia Tian stood a little awkwardly. "Sit, sit, sit!" Chen Wenhu pulled him to sit down and shouted out the door, "Tea! The best Longjing!" Soon, a young woman wearing a cheongsam came in with a tea set and made tea for them gracefully. Summer noticed a faint scar on her wrist. "How about it? I haven't seen you for three years. Is this place okay, brother?" Chen Wenhu looked around proudly, "The blue sea and sky are one of the best places in Bingcheng! The hotel upstairs is also mine. I will open a suite for you later, so stay here first!" Xia Tian was holding a tea cup, and in the hot air he could clearly see the entire office - mahogany furniture, crystal chandeliers, the calligraphy work "Hai Na Bai Chuan" hanging on the wall, a statue of Guan Gong in the corner, and green smoke curling up from the incense burner. "Thank you Brother Hu, I... I just came out and have nowhere to go..." Xia Tian lowered his head. "What are you talking about!" Chen Wenhu slammed the table, "I said it inside, you come out and fuck me! I, Chen Wenhu, keep my word!" He leaned closer to Xia Tian and lowered his voice, "You know why you went in, to fight for a girl, right? You have the guts! I appreciate that!" Xia Tian smiled bitterly, without explaining that it was not just an ordinary fight. "In this way," Chen Wenhu waved his hand, "you first work in the bathing center as a front desk manager, with a monthly salary of three thousand, including food and accommodation. Once you are familiar with the environment, there will be a better position for you in the future!" Three thousand! Xia Tian's eyes widened. This was definitely a high salary in Bingcheng in 2004, with ordinary workers earning just over a thousand a month. "Brother Hu, I... I've never done this..." "What are you afraid of! Someone will take you!" Chen Wenhu picked up the intercom on the table, "Call Jiang Ran over!" After a while, a young woman with a ponytail and a professional suit knocked on the door and came in. She was about twenty-three or four years old, with delicate features but shrewd eyes. "Jiang Ran, this is Xia Tian, ​​the new front desk manager. You can take care of him and teach him all our rules." Chen Wenhu introduced. Jiang Ran looked Xia Tian up and down and nodded slightly: "Okay, Brother Hu." "Xiaotian, this is Jiang Ran, our financial director, a college student!" Chen Wenhu said with a smile, "Despite his young age, he is a good accountant!" Xia Tian stood up and nodded to Jiang Ran, noticing that there was a hint of vigilance in the way she looked at him. Chen Wenhu explained a few more words and asked Jiang Ran to take Xia Tian to arrange accommodation. After leaving the office, Jiang Ran took Xia Tian downstairs in the elevator without saying a word the whole time. "That... Director Jiang..." Xia Tian tried to break the silence. "Just call me Jiang Ran." Her voice was calm, "Your room is on the third floor of the staff area, come with me." The staff dormitory was much better than Xia Tian had imagined - a single room with an independent bathroom. Although it was not big, it was clean and tidy. There are brand new beddings on the bed and toiletries on the table. "These..." "Brother Hu ordered them to be prepared." Jiang Ran stood at the door with no intention of coming in, "Report at eight o'clock tomorrow at the front desk. I will have someone teach you the basic work." She turned to leave, and Xia Tian hurriedly asked: "Jiang Ran, have you... Worked here for a long time?" Jiang Ran stopped and looked back at him: "Two years." Her eyes fell on Xia Tian's hands, "You just came out?" Xia Tian was stunned, and then realized that she was referring to the calluses and scars on her hands - traces of prison life. He nodded: "I just came out today." "Do you know where this place is?" Jiang Ran suddenly asked. "Bath center." The corner of Jiang Ran's mouth raised slightly: "Do you think the front desk manager's monthly salary of three thousand is normal?" Without waiting for Xia Tian to answer, she had already turned around and left, and the sound of high heels gradually faded away in the corridor. Xia Tian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the falling snow outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart. He knew that Chen Wenhu was not a serious businessman, and this "Blue Sea and Sky" was by no means an ordinary bathing center. But now he has no choice - a reform-through-labor prisoner who has just been released from prison is lucky to find a job that includes food and accommodation. He took out the pack of Hongmei cigarettes, lit one, and took a deep breath. The smoke circled in the lungs and was slowly exhaled. Starting tomorrow, he will step into a brand new world - a world he once avoided.
