Liu Baolong looked at the real estate certificate in front of him, and couldn't wait to put his head in his crotch, and his Adam's apple squirmed for a long time before he bit his lip and responded: "Uncle, Da Ming, he's gone...... The person swallowed his breath last night, and I came to you just to pick you up and take a last look at him. ”

"He, he ......"

After Daming's father heard the news of his son's death, the movements in his hands instinctively froze, and the corners of his mouth trembled as he looked at Liu Baolong, and he didn't even say a complete sentence.

"Because of a car accident. Liu Baolong stood in front of the old man, looking at the old man's cloudy eyes, feeling like a prostitute who had been stripped naked, ashamed, after a sigh, he put a card in front of the old man: "Da Ming died because of drunk driving and crashed into the pillar of the overpass, so there is no compensation, there are 200,000 in this card, which is a little bit of my heart." ”

"Take back the money. After a while, the old man shook his head with empty eyes: "I'm a lonely old man, what do I want your money for." ”

Liu Baolong lowered his head, and had mixed feelings in his heart: "Uncle, Daming has been with me for so many years, and I didn't take care of him." ”

"Wang Xinming, this child, since he got off the school gate, has been wandering between the juvenile detention center and the prison, before he broke off the relationship with me, how many times I told him, he didn't listen, but this kid listens to you, and what you usually treat him, I also know in my heart, no matter whether you lead him to the right path or not, but at least he has never returned to prison after he has been with you, and you are better than me. The old man held the shovel and shook his head: "You go, in my heart, there is no such son for a long time, even if he exposes the corpse in the wilderness, he has nothing to do with me." ”

"Uncle. ”

"Let's go. The old king raised his head slightly: "Let me be quiet." ”

"Daming's funeral, I will take care of it properly, from now on, you are my father, and I Liu Baolong will give you a pension. Liu Baolong's voice fell, his legs bent, and he knocked his head three times on the street, and then turned around and left without raising his head.

Liu Baolong didn't look up, because he was afraid that in the eyes of the old man, he would see the look he didn't dare to face.

"Whoa!"

After Liu Baolong left, Daming's father took out the purse containing the dry tobacco, rolled it several times with the cigarette paper, and failed to roll the dry tobacco.

After the iron pot heated up, a burnt smell came from the pot, but the old man didn't realize it.

The sun is shining, and on the red certificate, the line of "real estate property certificate" is shining in gold.

......

Lao Wangtou fried melon seeds for half his life, and ate steamed buns and pickles for more than ten years, just wanting to save some money every penny, so that his children have a nest of their own.

That night, in the eyes of the neighbors, the old Wang Tou, who had been picking the door for half his life, unexpectedly appeared in the small restaurant at the corner of the street, ordered a pound of pig's head meat, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of liquor worth more than 200 yuan.

In the slightly messy small restaurant, the old king didn't say a word, sitting at the table in the corner and pouring himself a drink.

The tiger-headed children on the street are constantly playing and shouting for their parents, as innocent as when they were young.

The colorful light and shadow in the wine glass are also very similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve twenty-two years ago.

That year, Wang Xinming was five years old.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Daming cried and went home, saying that the second boy in the next door laughed that he did not have a Transformer, and Lao Wang looked at the car made of broken wood in his son's hand, and did not even finish lunch, so he rode his bicycle back to the factory, because people who work on Chinese New Year's Eve can earn an extra fifty yuan in overtime pay.

That night, several ruffians in the village got drunk and broke into Wang Xinming's house to rob him, and Daming's mother was raped and killed by gangsters because of her fierce resistance.

At that moment, firecrackers rang out outside the wall, and Daming hid in the cabinet and watched his mother fall in a pool of blood, which was really true.

Human memory is limited, eighty percent of the people in this world will not remember what happened when they were five years old too clearly, but the scene of that night, for so many years, will appear in Daming's dream almost every day, the mother in the first second of breath, when looking at the cabinet, he is like a man's back.

Wang Xinming is radical and violent, since he was seventeen years old, he can cut people with a knife without any psychological burden, because he feels that the world is unfair to him.

Now that Da Ming is dead, people are like clouds of smoke, and finally he doesn't have to bear the torture of the past, he is relieved, but Lao Wang is still alive.

This man's life has lost his wife on Chinese New Year's Eve, thirty years old, and now, on his fifty-second birthday, he has lost his son.

Lao Wang, who has never drunk much, was extremely sober after drinking a bottle of liquor that day, and when he left, he rarely stood at the door of the restaurant and chatted with the neighbors for a while.

Early the next morning.

The neighbor next door smelled a pungent smell of gas when he passed by the door of Lao Wang's house on work, knocked on the door and no one answered, so he immediately dialed the police.

By the time the police arrived and found the body of the old king, he had already been angry for a long time.

Next to the pillow is a torn real estate deed.

In his hand, there is a family photo.

At that time, Wang Xinming in the photo had just reached the full moon, a family of three, smiling like a flower.

......

The funeral of Daming's father was also organized by Liu Baolong, a father and son were cremated on the same day, turning into two wisps of green smoke in the tall chimney of the funeral home, and soaring into the sky.

Because the father and son of the Ming Dynasty have no relatives in the world, and they have not handled the death certificate, they are secretly mourned, so the funeral matters are simple, and on the third day of cremation, Liu Baolong contacted the cemetery and buried the father and son.

The funeral of the father and son of the Ming Dynasty was very simple, there were no relatives and no friends, only Liu Baolong took a few people from Wanchang to bury the urn hastily.

After everyone left the cemetery, Li Chao drove the treasure and drove Liu Baolong back.

In the car.

Liu Baolong sat in the co-pilot, looking tired: "In the past few days, who is taking care of Xiao Dai?"

"Don't worry, Brother Long, Brother Dai, Xiaobo has been taking care of it. Li Chao put the steering wheel and responded quickly.

"You didn't tell him about Da Ming's death, did you?"

"I didn't say it. Li Chao paused: "Brother Dai and Brother Ming have always had a good relationship, but in the past few days, you and Brother Ming have not gone to the hospital to see him, I feel that Brother Dai should have a good idea of this matter." ”

Liu Baolong heard Li Chao's words, rubbed his temples, leaned back on the seat and said nothing.

Li Chao saw Liu Baolong's tired look, turned down the music in the car with a good eye, and asked softly, "Brother Long, where are we going next?"

"Let's go back to the store. Liu Baolong replied with his eyes closed.

"Hey, okay!" Li Chao nodded, continued to drive quietly, and after a while, he said casually: "Brother Long, I heard that in the past few days, Yang Dong seems to have been in frequent contact with some tree dealers, and it seems that he has no intention of letting go of the work in Flood Bay." ”

"Who did you listen to?"

"Ah, I have a few friends who are playing at L Shunkou, in the past few days, they can always see Yang Dong and some local social people, going in and out of hotels and song halls together, and the relationship seems to be good. Li Chao paused: "I asked my friends to check it for me, and there are a few of them who are upside down trees." ”

"Okay, I know that. Liu Baolong answered, and then did not say anything more.

Li Chao saw that Liu Baolong didn't answer, pursed his lips and said, "Brother Long, otherwise, you can leave the matter of Yang Dong's side to me." ”

"I'll give it to you?" Liu Baolong was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, leave it to me. Li Chao nodded: "Brother Long, count it up, I've been working in Wanchang for some years, Brother Ming and Brother Dai were here before, I served the dishes, swept the floor or something, it doesn't matter, but now that Brother Ming is gone, Brother Dai is down, I really want to help you share some of your sorrows." ”

"Help me share the burden?" Liu Baolong couldn't help but laugh dumbly after listening to Li Chao's words: "Why?"

"For an opportunity. Li Chao looked ahead and said very realistically: "When Da Ming and Xiao Dai were in the past, I didn't fight, and I didn't rob it, because I knew that even if I wanted to fight, I couldn't fight them, so there were some words that I didn't say in my heart." ”

"Hmm. Liu Baolong nodded slightly and motioned for Li Chao to continue.

"I know, Brother Ming and Brother Dai have been by your side for many years, and the relationship between you is very unusual, so I haven't thought about competing with them for resources, but in my heart, I really want to call you a big brother, because when I call you Brother Long, no matter how hard I work and how hard I work, my identity can only be a waiter, only when I call you big brother, this society can really have my Li Chao's position. Li Chao glanced at Liu Baolong's expression along the inverted mirror, and sniffed: "Brother Long, I'm here to help you and myself." ”

"Do you think you can compare to Xiao Dai or Da Ming?"

"There is no general in Shu, Liao has become a pioneer, maybe my ability may not be as good as Brother Ming and Brother Dai, but I will do my best to do the things you explain well. Li Chao responded very realistically.

Li Chao's voice fell, Liu Baolong did not respond, and Li Chao stopped saying more and began to concentrate on driving.

......

After Li Chao returned to Wanchang with Liu Baolong, he parked the car in the parking space, and did not continue to disturb Liu Baolong at all, but consciously returned to the second floor, took a broom and began to clean.

3rd floor office.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!" Liu Baolong heard the knock on the door and answered.

"Bang dang!"

They spoke, and Yapeng, who had participated in the smashing of the triad waiter with Daming, pushed the door into the room: "Brother Long, are you looking for me?"

"Sit. Liu Baolong waved his hand casually.

"How dare I sit in front of you, just tell me something. Yapeng stood still and didn't move.

"On the day of Daming's accident, you were the one who went to Sanhe Company with him, right?" Liu Baolong didn't say anything polite to Yapeng, and asked bluntly.

"Well, there's me. ”

"Tell me about that day. ”

"That day, Brother Ming asked us to gather in his office, saying that he was going to Sanhe to find Yang Dong and avenge Brother Dai, and the reward at that time was everyone's ......" Yapeng heard this, and did not hide it, and retold the events of that day as it was.

After listening to Yapeng's narration, Liu Baolong frowned and thought for a few seconds: "You mean, Daming didn't ask Li Chao to go with you that day, but after you were caught, Li Chao suddenly appeared?"

"That's right!" Yapeng nodded: "If it weren't for him wrapped up in explosives that day to save us, we would all have had an accident." ”

"When Da Ming was in the car, was he injured?"

Yapeng recalled the details of that night, and nodded again: "Accept it! At that time, after we were stuck in the car, Yang Dong pestled Brother Ming's head more than a dozen times with a pickaxe through the car window, and after we got out of the car, the other party was a very tall person, snatched Brother Ming's gun, and smashed a shot at Brother Ming's head. ”

"Okay, I see, you go down. Liu Baolong nodded slightly: "By the way, I'm looking for you today, don't mention it to anyone." ”

"Understood!"

Yapeng answered, turned around and left the office, Liu Baolong thought for a while, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Dr. Wu, let me ask you one thing, if a person is hit the head, he was still conscious at the time, but he died suddenly later, from a medical point of view, is this possible?"
