I followed the direction of my fourth brother's fingers and saw a small hut in the deep forest.
I strode over and my fourth brother led the way.
In front of the hut, this is a suggested hut made of pine branches. It's very small and low. In it, you can only bend down and can't stand up. The space can only accommodate one person. There are dry pine branches on the ground, a quilt and food beside it. This is where the fourth brother lives now.
"You live here?" I turned my head and looked at my fourth brother. My nose was a little sore.
"Yes, there's no one here. It's safe." Four elder brothers self mockery ground smile: "white old three can't dream that I will be here."
I took the fourth brother's hand: "go, follow me -"
"where to go?"
"Don't live here, live with me!" I said.
"No, I said, I don't want to involve you, you still have a girlfriend, I can't go to you!" Fourth brother said.
"You can't live here. It's not where people live." I insisted: "what's my girlfriend afraid of? I'm safe there. Let's go."
The fourth brother broke away from me: "brother, I thank you for your kindness, but I really can't go to you. I absolutely can't get involved in you because of my things I'm here. I'm free. It's good
"It's not a long-term solution here," I said, "fourth brother, I'm not afraid of being involved. You're a good man. I can't see you suffer this foreign crime here."
I insist that my fourth brother follow me, but he refuses to go.
After a long stalemate, I looked at my fourth brother: "you think it's safe here. I'll tell you that Bai Laosan will find you sooner or later..."
"I know As long as I don't leave Xinghai, he will find me sooner or later... " The fourth brother said: "I'm just avoiding the edge for the time being. I know that this battle between me and Bai Laosan is inevitable, and it will eventually end up with this grudge But I need to wait. "
"Do you have any defensive weapons?" I look at my fourth brother.
Four elder brothers clenched double fists, raised: "this is not!"
I said, "I'll give you a gun. Do you want it?"
"You have a gun?" The fourth brother looked at me with an unexpected look.
"Yes, the serious May 4th movement, and the bullet. I'll bring it back to you later. You can keep it for self-defense! Just in case. " I said.
"Where did you get the gun?" Fourth brother said.
"It's a long story." I said it in a vague way.
The fourth brother is very wise. Knowing that I don't want to tell you more about the origin of the gun, I won't ask.
"Oh You'd better keep it. Maybe you can use it. " Fourth brother said.
"I don't need it for the time being. It doesn't work now. I'll bring it back to you later." I said.
Fourth brother frowned, thought for a while, then did not refuse, nodded: "that's OK, I'll keep it for you."
I don't know what the fourth brother means by keeping it. Is it that the gun is dispensable to him? He is worried that something will happen when the gun is put in my place, and he keeps it for me?
I decided to go back and take the gun to my fourth brother now.
So I left the beach and went straight back to my dorm. Since Haizhu found the gun, I hid it in a new place and wrapped it tightly with plastic cloth in the water tank of the toilet.
In my opinion, no one can think of this place and no one will find it.
Back to the dormitory, I went directly to the bathroom, opened the lid of the water tank, my head suddenly hummed, the gun disappeared!
I was shocked. Where's the gun? In my dormitory, since Haizhu left, only Dong'Er is here. Is it Dong'Er
I quickly felt out my mobile phone to call Dong'Er and got through soon.
"Dong'Er, have you seen what I put in the water tank of the toilet?" I asked Dong'Er anxiously.
Dong'Er said, "Oh, have you gone back?"
"Yes, I'm looking for something, but it's gone!" I said.
"Gone? What did you put in the water tank of the toilet Donger doesn't seem to know.
"Oh..." As soon as I heard it, I thought Dong'Er really didn't know, so I said, "no it 's nothing. Did you really not see him? "
"What did you put in the tank? Why don't you answer me! " Donger said.
"Oh, nothing. If you don't see me, forget it." I'm going to hang up.
"Wait, no hanging up!" Dong'Er said, "what's the matter? I tell you, the toilet broke down a few days ago. I repaired the water tank and found a bag of things. "
"Ah Where did you put it? " I asked in a hurry.
"Don't worry about where I put my things. I ask you, why are you shooting at home? Where did you get the gun? " Donger questioned me.
"It's not mine. It's someone else's custody." I said incoherently.
"Who's going to give it to you? Do you know that it's against the law to hide guns and you'll be in jail! " Donger said."Well I know
"I know you still do it!" Dong'Er's tone is very hot, and her voice is very low. It seems that she is also afraid of being heard by people around her.
"I..."
"What are you doing? You don't learn anything. You learn how to play with guns with the underworld. You are really capable Dong'Er seems very angry: "Xiao Ke, even if we starve to death, we can't do illegal things. I told you no, do you remember?"
"Yes, remember." I said, "well Where did you put that gun? "
"It's in the dustbin. It's already gone!" Donger said.
"Ah -" I was stunned.
"Ah, what, are you reluctant to give up? You're killing yourself, don't you know? " Dong'Er said, "I didn't expect that you've been following the underworld for a few days, and you've come to such a state that you dare to play with guns. You're really big Are you going to die? "
"I..." I am very depressed at this time. This gun belongs to Li Shun. If Li Shun wants to go back one day, how can I explain to him? If I say I lost it, he will not believe it.
"I ask you, why are you looking for a gun? You want to go out and do something, don't you?" Dong er's tone eased a little.
"No, no, I'm sending it out." I said hastily.
"Really? Are you lying to me? " Donger said.
"Really, I'm not lying to you!" I said.
Dong'Er was silent for a while, as if wondering whether my words were true or false. After a while, he said, "there is a newspaper bag in the drawer under the shoe cabinet."
As soon as I heard it, I felt relieved that Dong'Er didn't throw it away, and said, "OK -"
"I'll tell you to send the gun out immediately, and you are not allowed to do this again in the future Do you hear me Dong er's voice is very serious.
"Good, good --" I answered the phone, went to the shoe cabinet, opened the drawer, and saw a newspaper bag. When I opened it, it was the gun.
"Xiao Ke, we are serious people. We must not go downhill. Although we are temporarily poor and have no money, we can't go to the underworld either. The money from the underworld is not solid and worrying. I hope you can be with me safely. I hope we can live a safe and happy life. I am willing to be scared all day." Donger continued.
"Well, I see." I said as I put the gun in my pocket, along with the bullet.
"Take the gun away, I'll never see it again!" Dong'Er finished and hung up.
I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, hurried downstairs, went back to the pine forest on the beach, and gave the gun and bullet to my fourth brother.
The fourth brother put the gun in his hand and played with it a few times. I saw that the fourth brother had played with the gun before, and he was very expert.
Then, the fourth brother wrapped the gun and bullet in plastic cloth, and found a oilcloth to wrap it tightly. Then he dug a hole with a shovel under a pine tree beside the hut, buried the gun, smoothed the soil, and scattered some dry leaves on it.
After that, the fourth brother stood up, patted the mud on his hands and looked at me: "Xiaoyi, see? The gun is here. Remember this place."
I nodded.
"Don't use a gun until you have to," the fourth brother said. "It's not safe for you to leave your gun at home. It's easy to have an accident I think about it. Let's put it here Only you and I know this place. In the future, if you have to, you can come here to get it. "
I nodded: "OK -"
then the fourth brother said: "OK, I should take you back In the future, we will only have one-way contact. If you have something to do, I'll find you. If you have something to do, you can send me a short message. I'll check it on time. "
I nodded. The fourth brother put on his old felt hat, smeared his face, and then pointed to the tricycle: "get in the car, I'll take you back!"
I got on the car, the fourth brother pedaled the tricycle out of the pine forest, on the Binhai Road, sent me back to the unit.
"Fourth brother, you are very good at dressing up. I didn't recognize you at first." On the way, I said to my fourth brother.
The fourth brother bent down and pedaled the tricycle, saying: "ha ha, it's just basic skill. There's no way to force it."
I don't understand why the fourth brother said it was basic skills. Although I didn't understand it, I didn't ask.
Walking along Binhai Road, a black car suddenly passed by. When the car passed us, it stopped, and then the window rolled down: "Hey, tricycle, stop!"
The fourth brother stopped the tricycle and kept the original posture. He bent down and pulled down the brim of the old felt hat.
At this time, I saw that the one who was talking in the car was Huang, the underground emperor I had not seen for a long time. At the same time, beside Huang Zhe, there is a long lost General Zhang Qiang.
When I saw these two, I was shocked. What were they doing? Did they find my fourth brother or me.
As soon as I found out the idea of the fourth brother, I denied it. It's impossible. They can't know the fourth brother. Moreover, even if they know him, they may not recognize him. I didn't recognize him for a while. Well, that's what they call me.
Sure enough, Huang gave me a smile: "Yi Ke, long time no see."I sat on the tricycle and saw wood on the inside looking at me, his eyes a little unfathomable.
I'm afraid of wood's eyes.
"Good general, good yellow!" I greet them politely.
"What? Take a tricycle ride to the seaside? Good mood, good elegance Huang said as he got out of the car, and wood got out of the car from the other side, stretching his arms and taking a few deep breaths of air, as if they had come to the seaside to relax.
I laughed, didn't speak, also got off the tricycle.
Wood seemed very interested in the scenery around him. He continued to take a deep breath facing the sea and didn't seem to be interested in talking to me.
