People looked at the new cemetery and were speechless for a long time.
"Brother, this is your favorite wine. I brought it to you today." I shook Erguotou in my hand and looked at the name written in black paint on the tombstone. The corners of Xu Hua's mouth twitched, clenched his teeth and bowed.
"Boom!"
Meng Liang and Liu Rui threw a large amount of paper money into the rain sheltered combustion furnace, only silently bowed their heads and shed tears.
The picture is like a freeze frame!
An autumn rain sent away Xu Hua's last trace in the world
I unscrewed the Erguotou in my hand and poured it into the mouth. In the blink of an eye, a bottle of Erguotou had reached the bottom.
I thought it was still a little cold here, but as soon as the wine strength came up, my body was warm and drank a lot.
"Wine is a good thing, but it's a pity you can't drink it. Ha ha, anyway, you haven't drunk less in your life..." I looked at the tombstone and suddenly smiled.
"I remember you didn't say that when I got married, you would give me a macromolecule? How can you return the cat now? Don't you want to follow the macromolecule and don't want to give up this money? Then I don't want it? Come out, I really don't want it!"
"Will you come out?"
"Don't you still say I'll give you a pension?"
"Xiao Xitian, do you want it if you say no?"
"Are you willing?"
"I beg you, come out!"
As I spoke, my mood became uncontrollable. I roared wildly holding the tombstone, and the tears on my face melted with the rain. At that time, my state was like crazy. I kept crying and scolding holding the tombstone.
After shouting for a while, my throat was like smoking and my voice was hoarse, but my tears didn't stop and fell on the tombstone drop by drop.
Liu Rui threw down the paper money in his hand and ran up without standing still. He ran to me and grabbed my collar. His voice was broken and shouted, "people are dead. What's the use of you crying here?"
"I'm useless. The person lying in the cemetery should be me..." I looked at Liu Rui in a hoarse voice.
Hearing my words, Liu Rui clenched his teeth, stared at me and replied, "if you fucking cry and let your brother close his eyes, it's a dream..."
"I can't find the murderer. Now any sadness is fucking hypocritical! Do you fucking understand?" Liu Rui wiped the sweat on his face, loosened his hands holding my collar and walked down the mountain.
When they saw Liu Rui leave, they all followed him down the mountain. Meng Liang looked at me, sighed helplessly, shook his head and walked down.
I lay beside the tombstone and the rain poured on me wantonly. I picked up Erguotou on the ground and found it empty.
Looking at the name on the tombstone, I remembered the last time I saw him.
……
While drinking milk tea, I hurried into a luxurious office. Xu Hua was alone in the house. He was chopping the underground city on the computer. I glanced at his number with Yu Guang. The bright sky set symbolized his prominent status, local tyrant and willfulness.
"Here we are!"
Xu Hua looked up at me, said hello with a smile, and then said kindly, "sit down, I'm in the abyss, and it's over in five minutes!"
"... brother, can we do some serious work every day? There are so many things in the real estate, you don't go down and have a look!"
I was upset and speechless. I went to the sofa and sat down at will.
"It's OK for you to do business. At my age, I'll be responsible for some comprehensive work!" Xu Hua is very blessed. His earlobes sink at least two or two. He looks away like a Maitreya Buddha.
I watched him play the game. The operation was so bad that I couldn't help saying, "are you walking down? You can't stand up and fight with others with good equipment!"
"Do you know how to play?" Xu Hua looked up a little unhappy.
"Forget it, don't play!" Xu Hua left the keyboard with both hands and angrily turned off the game.
"Why did you call me back?" I asked straight away.
"I missed you, so I called you back." Xu Hua put his hand on my shoulder and said with an ambiguous smile.
"Sexual suggestion?" I quickly pulled off Xu Hua's hand on my shoulder and got goose bumps all over.
"Ha ha, now this young man..."
"No way, now there are too many hidden rules of the boss and subordinates, so I have to guard against them..." I said with a grin.
"You come with me." after that, Xu Hua stood up with a serious expression.
"I don't really want to rule me... It's inconvenient for me to tell you today!" I quickly hugged the sofa and shouted like I would never obey.
"Roll the calf... Come quickly!"
"It's over, I'm choking today..." when I heard Xu Hua's words, I felt sad. Maybe after today, I may no longer be pure. I didn't expect that after more than 20 years of chastity, I would be taken away by this old man who is almost 60 in front of me. I'm unwilling!
With tears in my eyes, I carefully followed Xu Hua into the inner room of his office and saw him open a safe. There was a small button in it. With a gentle press, a wall behind the safe opened itself.
I was a little surprised to see this scene. I came to his office countless times, but I didn't find a dark room in it.
"Come in." the middle-aged man looked at my surprised expression and said faintly.
"Can you take it easy? I'm afraid of pain..." I calmed down and prayed.
"Don't say it's useless, come in quickly." Xu Hua didn't even look at it. I walked slowly into the dark room with my back and hands.
When I entered the darkroom, I found that it was different from what I imagined. There were no so-called gold and silver treasures, no secret information, of course, there was no style I imagined, big round bed and iron chain... Looking at the whole room, there were candles and spirit cards.
I was stunned and at a loss when I looked at countless spirit cards.
"Why is the old boss still building a cemetery in his house?" I really don't understand the tricks played by these rich people.
The middle-aged man picked up three incense sticks from the table, lit them very solemnly, and then bowed to every holy place in the room.
After saying goodbye, Xu Hua handed me three more incense sticks, smiled and said, "what's up? I'm surprised. Come and say goodbye, and then I'll tell you the story of this house."
I didn't hesitate. I took the incense and paid homage to every spiritual position very seriously.
After Xu Hua saw me worship, he nodded with satisfaction, walked to a table, picked up two bottles of Erguotou from the drawer, opened one bottle and handed me one.
Xu Hua unscrewed Erguotou, looked up and drank a third, and then opened the conversation.
"There is no third person here except us." Xu Hua looked at me seriously and said.
"Whose are these holy places, so many?" I looked around and wondered.
"These are the of my dead brothers!" Xu Hua raised his head and answered in a loud voice.
"So many?" when I heard the middle-aged answer, I couldn't help but be surprised, because there are too many soul cards here. If these are all his dead brothers, how many people have died.
"There were thirty of us at the beginning, but now there are only three left. Do you say more?" Xu Hua looked up and took another sip of wine and said slowly.
After hearing Xu Hua's words, I was silent. I didn't expect so many people to die here.
"Without these people, there would be no glory of Xiaoxitian now. It is these people who cast my blood slaughter today's glory with their own lives, so I can't forget everyone here."
While talking, Xu Hua was very excited and sounded like a flood.
I unscrewed Erguotou, took a gulp, and then looked at every soul card in the room very seriously.
"In those days, these brothers came out with me to fight together, but now there are rivers and mountains, but they are all gone!" Xu Hua walked to the Lingpai with tears in his eyes and carefully wiped each Lingpai, just like stroking his newborn child, so careful and careful.
I followed behind Xu Hua and looked carefully at every spiritual card in the room, each with its name, birth date and time of death.
The more I looked, the more surprised I was that Xu Hua could record so many people in detail, enough to see how important these people are to him.
"Many people say that Xu Hua wants education, no education, no IQ. He turned out to be a dealer Han who came out of the countryside. Why can he achieve today?"
Xu Hua didn't look back. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to me.
"I want to tell them that even if I'm Xu Hua, I have these brothers who can be willing to work for me. What's this achievement today?"
"I lost so many good brothers who take care of each other wholeheartedly. In exchange for today's achievement, Xiaoye, do you think this business has lost or earned?"
Xu Hua looked at me with a smile.
"Lost."
I answered without thinking.
"All the baskets are lost. I tell you, those people are still interested in asking me why I can achieve today. They don't fucking see what I get in exchange! It's the life of my 27 brothers!"
Xu Hua's mood became very excited for a moment. He took a spirit card and handed it to me.
"Come and have a good look!"
I took the Lingpai, which was engraved with two words, Chen Ming.
"Chen Ming, when we first came to D City, an old gang wanted us to go away. Chen Ming found the bastard's nest alone with a shotgun, jumped seven people, and finally traded his life for our place in D city."
"You're looking at this." Xu Hua handed me a spirit card again.
Xu Lei is written on it.
"Xu Lei, when five of us went to other cities to ask for debts, we were blocked in a room by more than 30 people. He blocked the door with his own body and gave the four of us time to escape. Finally, he was chopped into meat mud."
"Wang Meng, the driver who followed me all my life, was finally killed because of me. Even if he died, he didn't say my whereabouts..."
"Too many, too many. Without them, how can I have Xu Hua's glory today..."
Speaking, Xu Hua began to cry. To tell the truth, this is the first time I saw him cry so thoroughly and so sad. The man I have always regarded as an idol will cry and be sad.
I looked at the white hair on his head. For a moment, I thought he was old, really old.
"These people are the souls and heroes of our Xiaoxitian. If they see today's Xiaoxitian, they will be very happy even if they die."
I looked at the soul card and sighed.
"Hey, I'm old. It's hard to avoid getting hurt when I see these things."
Xu Hua heard me, wiped his tears and said with a smile.
"You're not old. Why don't you live ninety-one hundred?" I replied with a smile.
"Good people don't live long, bad people live for thousands of years?" Xu Hua kicked me after listening to my words and scolded. People like Xu Hua can't adjust their emotions. They can laugh and laugh one second after crying one second.
"Would you like some more?"
I awkwardly changed the topic and handed the Erguotou in my hand to Xu Hua.
"If I don't drink it, I'm dead. What's the point of drinking it myself."
Xu Hua waved his hand and didn't take the wine. Instead, he turned and walked out of the dark room.
When I saw Xu Hua go out, I looked back at the room full of stories, and then I followed him out.
"Do you know why I showed you these today?" Xu Hua went out of the darkroom and sat down on the sofa with his eyes closed.
"I know." I nodded.
"What do you know? You know?" Xu Hua opened his eyes and asked curiously.
"You want to give Xiaoxitian to me, so you let me know the existence of these people, so I can't forget these predecessors who gave their lives for Xiaoxitian." I answered Xu Hua's question without beating around the bush.
"Ha ha, you child, just have too many minds. If more people like you, we old men will starve to death." Xu Hua laughed, depending on whether he was angry at my directness.
"You're right. I'm old and can't do anything. I want to have a rest." Xu Hua nodded, looked at me and then said.
"You're not old, let's work for a few more years." when I heard Xu Hua's words, I was silent and advised very seriously.
"I can't refuse to be old. It turned out that when we were young, I didn't doze off for two days without closing my eyes. Now I can't. It's hard for me to open my eyes after watching the news broadcast. If I quit, it's time for me to retire."
Xu Hua waved his hand, looking very tired.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of me, I couldn't find any reason to leave him. To tell the truth, his whole life, his military life, now the environment is good and there is a chance. It's really time for him to have a rest. And if I still insist on letting him do it now, am I too asshole? To tell you the truth, how many people can get rid of Xu Hua in society? Now that he is bearish on himself and has a chance to leave, what right do I have to say no to him?
"Xiaoye, if I give you this little west sky now, I don't want you to make it bigger and bigger, that is, how many layers can you be sure of maintaining the status quo?" Xu Hua asked when he saw that I didn't speak.
"If you are laid off unharmed now, I have ten levels of assurance to control it," I thought carefully and replied.
"Ha ha, so confident? Very good! Very good!" Xu Hua nodded again and again, pondered for a moment, and continued: "what if I wasn't laid off unharmed?"
"Seven floors," I replied simply.
"Are those three floors because they often fight with them?" Xu Hua asked with some doubt.
I was stunned after listening, and then nodded very seriously.
"Do you think they dare not obey my orders?" Xu Hua said with a unchanged face.
"Not against you, but against me, an outsider." now that I have said this, I have no scruples. What do you say.
"Indeed, after all, Chang Zhan has been with me for so many years. He certainly doesn't agree with you. Although he won't oppose in the face, it's still possible to do something behind his back."
"But I'm not really afraid of him. If we really give it a shot, we'll still open 73, and his chance of winning is not big." I then analyzed.
"I just like your self-confidence. How many levels of confidence do you have if I die?"
"How could you die? Don't be kidding." after hearing Xu Hua's words, my voice improved a lot.
"I'm an immortal. Why can't I die? Tell me?" Xu Hua joked blandly.
"Who are you, Xiao Xitian's blood butcher? Who dares to kill you? You are so young. If you really want to die, it will take 30 years."
"Everything has to be in case. Just assume I'm dead. How sure can you take it?" Xu Hua took out a cigarette and didn't light it, but put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully.
"Smoke less, or you may really die." I saw the middle-aged take out his cigarette, frowned and said.
"Didn't I smoke here? There are so many things day by day. Tell me how sure you are." Xu Hua was unhappy immediately after listening to me and said loudly.
"Not at all," I replied after a moment of silence.
"Why?"
"You are the soul of Xiao Xitian. If you die, Xiao Xitian will be gone."
"Ha ha, that's true. Is it difficult that I'm dead? Do I lose all my career? Do my brothers die in vain?" Xu Hua asked me with staring eyes, depending on his dissatisfaction with my answer.
"Yes, I won't inherit Xiaoxitian. I will take these brothers to avenge you. Although these things you left may be very attractive, I don't care. You can't die because of so many brothers for you over the years." I said seriously.
"I won't die, don't worry..." Xu Hua was silent for a long time and said slowly.
"The car has come, let's go." a voice pulled me back to reality. I don't know when I had an umbrella on my head, and Liu Rui under the umbrella looked haggard.
"Are you willing to say he died like this?" I looked up at Liu Rui and asked in a trembling voice.
"... unwilling!" Liu ruileng replied.
"He won't die in vain. I'll come back! You're right. It's useless for me to be sad now. Only by avenging him can he walk on the yellow spring road without being alone!"
I drank up the Erguotou in my hand, and then stood up slowly with the help of Liu Rui.
I walked down the mountain with Liu Rui, and a Passat stopped at the intersection with its headlights on.
"How much money is left on the book? Give my brothers a break!" I leaned against the back seat and said tired after getting on the bus.
"OK..." Meng Liang, sitting in the driver's seat, nodded helplessly.
"These brothers have been with him all their life. Their lives are under pressure here. Don't let the brothers chill!"
After my words, the car fell into silence. Even Liu Rui, who talked a lot in Pingshi, closed his eyes and didn't know what to think.
"Where are we going?" I took off my wet coat and continued.
"I don't know..." Meng Liang shook his head.
"Go north and drive out of D city first." the old Taoist was in a bad mood at this time. He opened his eyes and whispered.
"Hehe, there are few people like us who are mixed with society. Forget where you love. I'm tired. I'll sleep first."
I closed my eyes with a sneer. Maybe I was really tired. I fell asleep after I closed my eyes.
After I fell asleep, I had a long, long dream. I dreamed of us in high school.
Northeast, SZ city in summer, 10 a.m. after class.
SZ high school toilet.
Meng Liang squatted in the toilet, his face flushed, which was obviously caused by excessive force.
"What have Liu Rui and Yuan Yuan done? Why haven't they come back yet?" Meng Liang asked me while trying to shit.
"Yuanyuan was fooled by Liu Rui to steal the tomb. It's not certain when he will come back. The specific time depends on how their tomb stealing progress is." I fanned the smell in front of my nose, looked at Meng Liang, took out two cigarettes, threw one to Meng Liang and lit one by myself.
"Isn't they really going to steal the tomb?" Meng Liang took out his lighter and lit the cigarette. He asked in surprise.
"It is said that my brother Rui has found the tomb of Egyptian mummies, and they are ready to open a new era of tomb theft in China." I think of Liu Rui who told me mysteriously that he found the tomb of Egyptian mummies. My heart is desolate. The child's IQ is obviously useless. I feel sad for his father.
"No, is he careless? When the mummy was found in the northeast of his mother, why did the Pharaoh emigrate?" Meng Liang felt sorry for Liu Rui's IQ.
"Then who knows what he thinks? He won't listen to any advice. He has to fight with the mummy with yuan yuan. Yuan Yuan is also very looking forward to the tomb robbing trip. They set out after discussion..."
"Liu Rui is stupid about this yuan!" I can read Meng Liang's deep concern about yuan yuan from his already red face.
"Who said I brought Yuan Yuan silly?" a cheap voice came from the door of the toilet as soon as I finished.
When I looked up, an unidentified object that looked like a human walked towards us with elegant small steps.
When the unidentified object came to me, he naturally shook his unwashed hair for more than half a year and my face dandruff. The unidentified object looked at me with his soya bean sized eyes, and then said to me solemnly: "speak ill of others in the future. Keep your voice down. Do you know how many people think they were killed? You haven't mixed the society. You don't understand these things. I don't blame you."
I looked at the unidentified object pretending to be forced. I really wanted to go up and give him a mouth.
Meng Liang raised his rosy and pale face, looked at the unidentified object, smiled and said, "did you succeed in stealing the tomb? Did you fight with the mummy happily?"
The unidentified object took the remaining cigarette end from my hand and wrapped it hard with a sad face. Idiot shovel the wrong tap. The Yuan Yuan made a fool of him to dry the tap water pipe and tap water. He hung up on us. I was glad to see it, or I had to let the tap water die for me.
