Twenty minutes later, I waited for Li Shaodong in the bathing center.

At this time, Li Shaodong shaved a round head that was almost close to his hair, a knife-and-axe-like chin covered with blue-black stubble, a thumb-sized scar in the middle of his forehead, a pair of eyes like dead fish eyes without any emotion, and a light gray fabric tracksuit.

Before he was imprisoned, he was the pride of the county, and he was the best among his peers in terms of family background and status, and after an accident, everything was gone, so it is not difficult to understand that he would behave expressionlessly at this time.

I blinked twice and looked at him and asked, "Why don't you take a shower?"

"Before I came out, the inmates had just beaten me with a cold water pipe. Li Shaodong's voice was hoarse, and he sat cross-legged opposite me like a statue, touching the scar on the door of his head with a smile and said: "I came out two hours ago, and I went home first." ”

I puffed out my cheeks and asked softly, "The old man and your brother."

In fact, when facing him, I still felt a little guilty, if it wasn't for my intervention, his family would not have undergone such a big change.

Li Shaodong squeezed out a dull smile: "The old man is gone, relatives say that he died of drug allergies, only I know, he must have committed suicide, he has been proud for so long, he can't bear to suddenly go from heaven to hell." ”

"What about your brother?" I asked, rubbing my face.

Li Shaodong continued to answer mechanically: "He was a blessing in disguise, and he successfully quit drug addiction and went to work in other places, at least he has not been wasted in this life." ”

I don't know why, I didn't dare to look him in the eye, and hesitated to ask, "You.. What's next for you?"

Li Shaodong coughed twice and said: "Originally, I had to continue to squat for two years and eight months, and the warden who handled the formalities for me said that you spent a lot of money to keep me out, so I will compensate you for the remaining two years and eight months." ”

I said sincerely: "Brother Dong, it's actually not necessary, I was because of it before."

Li Shaodong waved his hand to interrupt me: "We won't mention the previous things, it is my own idea to be with you for two years, the most important thing is that I haven't thought about what to do next now, and when I think about it clearly, I will take the initiative to tell you." ”

After I hesitated for a moment, I didn't pretentiously, and directly stretched out my hand and said, "Cheng, we will be a family in the future." ”

Li Shaodong paused, stretched out his hand to shake me and smiled: "You are the boss, I am the driver, from today I will be called Sanyan!"

His smile couldn't make people feel warm at all, maybe it was because of the oozing scar on his forehead, or maybe his face was too pale and haggard, I faintly felt a dead breath from him, that kind of indifference that I couldn't bear to close my eyes when I was in despair.

I remember very little of this kind of indifference that I had seen on the face of a condemned prisoner when I was in a detention center.

I took a breath and digressed the subject: "What do you want to eat? ”

He tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "If you want to drink, the higher the degree, the better, during this time of serving my sentence, my most dreaming thing is to get drunk and eat.. Just have a plate of peanuts. ”

"Okay. I got up and pulled the door open and called the waiter.

After a while, two bottles of 50 degrees of sorghum wine, plus a plate of old vinegar peanuts and rice were placed on the bedside table, and we sat on a massage table and filled the paper cups.
