Brothers Chapter 29 Separate Brothers
Yu Sheng woke up early, before the sun had risen, and it was pitch black inside and outside, broken by the silence only by the occasional passing car on the street far from the neighborhood.
Yu Sheng didn't turn on the lights, just lay straight on the bed, staring at the ceiling motionless, in fact, he couldn't see anything in the dark, but Yu Sheng knew that there were shallow cracks in the place he was staring at, silently reminding everyone that this community was old.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and the voice dragged to the bathroom, and there was a moment of silence, and there was a stream of water.
The rest of his life knew that the old man lived upstairs, his children were all in the outer district, and he couldn't come back for a few days a year, the old man was old, and he would get up at this time almost every day to go to the toilet, and when the family was still complete, he often played chess with him for the rest of his life.
The rest of my life lies in bed, but my mind is full of cranky thoughts, full of memories of the past, like a yellowed old photo album, page by page of the past, from small to large, from blurred to clear.
It's not just a picture in his head, it's his life.
The voices from upstairs were gone, and the silence was dead again.
The rest of his life closed his eyes, and the memories walked forward, warm, happy, sad, angry, and then abruptly ended in a blood.
Yu Sheng now pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and seemed to hear the dull crashing sound like a stick beating leather.
Yu Sheng suddenly thought, a bit like the sound of my mother slapping the newly sunned bedding on a sunny day when I was a child.
But the memory soon changed, and the voice was even more cold and stiff, it was the voice of death.
The rest of his life was watching the last breath of his life drift away from his mother's body, and some kind of hallucination appeared in front of his eyes for the rest of his life, and on the fleshy body, there was a vast golden light floating into the air and melting into the sun.
After death had taken away his last loved ones, he hovered in place, staring at the rest of his life, as if he wanted to drag the rest of his life into its world.
The rest of his life was shaking, but he still didn't want to open his eyes, he didn't want to admit that in addition to his sadness, he also had the fear of death passing by.
He was awakened every morning by memories and nightmares.
The clock on the wall ticked, walking its own way step by step, listening for the rest of his life, and before I knew it, the light was already bright.
The rest of his life mechanically got up to wash, and then set four pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, he thought about it, took one pair, and then took the second and third pairs.
Yu Sheng stood there, staring blankly at the lonely cutlery on the table until the phone rang frantically.
On the other side of the phone, it was the intermediary entrusted by Yu Sheng.
"Mr. Yu, your house is too old, and the decoration is also very old, it is really not easy to sell in a short period of time, I suggest that you lower the price a little more, or you give me a reserve price, and I will find a way for you to do the rest, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with it......"
Yu Sheng listened silently, his head empty, the voice of the intermediary swirling in his ears in vain, but not half of the punctuation marks could fly into his head.
It took a long time for Yu Sheng to understand what the other party was saying, and he didn't speak, waiting until the other party's mouth was dry, and Yu Sheng slowly spoke: "I'm not selling." ”
"The price is really too high...... What?" the other person called out in surprise on the other end of the phone. He saw that the heart quotation given at the beginning of the rest of his life was three percent lower than the market price, obviously not a customer who did not understand the market or was in a hurry to sell the money, he originally thought that he could make more money by pressing some more, but he didn't expect that this time stealing chickens would not be a loss of rice, and the other party waited for a long time and jumped out of a sentence not to sell.
"You're not selling, in fact, the price is still okay, but you need to wait a little longer, you give me a month...... No, two weeks ......" the intermediary hurriedly tried to make amends for his mistakes.
Yu Sheng didn't want to say anything more, so he hung up the phone with a "snap" and stood quietly for a while.
The phone rings again, and Yu Sheng hangs up again.
The phone quieted down, the world finally quieted down, and Yu Sheng rubbed his face vigorously.
Keep it, he thought, although maybe no one will live here in the future, but with this house, no matter where he will go in the future for the rest of his life, he still has a home.
It's like duckweed and roots, and kites are connected to the strings.
The phone rang again, and Yu Sheng finally got a little impatient, he picked it up and was about to speak, but found that the other side was not an intermediary.
This time it was the head of the cemetery.
"Mr. Yu, the two cemeteries you bought have been prepared for you," the other party's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear the fake sadness he deliberately made, nor the joy of negotiating business, "When are you going to bury your relatives?"
Yu Sheng looked at the wall and packed his luggage.
"Today. ”
The cemetery chosen by Yu Sheng is far away from the city and is the largest cemetery in the fifth district, and in fact, Yu Sheng's savings are not much, which he bought with Liu Yuejun's inheritance.
The person in charge of the cemetery was waiting outside the door early, and Yu Sheng greeted him as soon as he got out of the taxi, and he took Yu Sheng through all kinds of tombstones, large and small, to the two empty tombs.
The cemetery is empty and has not yet been filled, but the tombstone has been erected in advance, waiting for the owner to be buried.
Yu Sheng looked at the two rectangular earth pits, no more than two meters long and no more than sixty centimeters wide, this is the final destination of a person's life, what is even more ridiculous is that the price of these two earth pits far exceeds the price of the houses built in the city for living people, and the three or four square meters of space almost spent all of Liu Yuejun's savings.
The cemetery that Yu Sheng bought for his mother and younger brother is almost next to the edge of the park, and from Yu Sheng, you can see the forest area on the outskirts of the fifth district, and Yu Sheng specifically requires that the two cemeteries be next to each other, as for the location, this is the limit of what he can do.
There was no better cemetery to buy for the rest of his life, and many places were either booked or simply he couldn't afford them.
But for the rest of his life, he thought that he could at least give his mother and younger brother a place to sleep peacefully, and they would be side by side, and maybe they would not feel lonely in the future.
The funeral was carried out under the arrangement of the cemetery staff, which was simple to the extreme, what should have customs and processes were all canceled, the staff of the cemetery simply made blessings, and only the rest of the funeral was present alone.
For the rest of his life, he didn't live in the local area, and he didn't know any of his friends and colleagues with his mother and brother, but it was okay, and he didn't think to inform anyone.
After all, Yu Ye's identity is still a murder suspect.
It ended quietly like this, and he thought for the rest of his life, he didn't want to listen to those irritating fake comforts, and he couldn't bear to hear the discussions behind others' backs.
Everything ended with the death of only two of his relatives, and the rest of his life was almost completely cut off from the Fifth District, and even from the past thirty years before him, leaving only his name in the name column of the head of the old house.
All his relatives have passed away, his former lover has empathized with others, he has quit his job before returning to the fifth district, and his former friends have completely lost contact with him when he broke his mobile phone card.
It's really a lonely person, the rest of his life smiled bitterly, fate did not hesitate to give him the treatment that only emperors have, but forgot to give him the same power as the emperor.
The two coffins were carried out, almost identical, and for the rest of his life, he couldn't tell which one was sleeping with his brother and which was sleeping with his mother.
Liu Yuejun's body had been trimmed by the funeral director, and she was lying quietly in the coffin at this time, but the one that should belong to Yu Ye only had a set of old clothes in it at this time.
He didn't get the bodies for the rest of his life, and in the words of the police officer who spoke to him at the time, "the bodies were broken everywhere, and we couldn't tell which ones belonged to whom, so we had to clean up the scene with the rubble."
Hey, well-dressed mound, the rest of your life has a whim, and Yu Ye can be regarded as the treatment that only big people have.
Two coffins were buried, filled with soil, flowers were laid for the rest of their lives, and the head of the cemetery also presented a bouquet on behalf of the cemetery.
Yu Sheng thanked and shook hands one by one, and the person in charge and staff of the cemetery left one after another, and the customers did not make any unnecessary requests, and they were happy and relaxed.
The weather was not gloomy because of the heaviness of the funeral, the sky was exceptionally clear, it was the bluest day in these days, the sun was beautiful like a bubble in a dream, and even the breeze carried the sweet fragrance of green grass.
Yu Sheng looked at the tombstone that had just been erected in front of him, because it had not been beaten by wind and rain, the tombstone was still exceptionally fresh, and the new marks of the stone carving hammer chisel were still so obvious.
There was a black-and-white photograph on each of the two tombstones, and the two faces that were supposed to be his most familiar were now unfamiliar no matter how they looked.
"Mom, I'm leaving," Yu Sheng squatted down and stroked Liu Yuejun's tombstone, as if helping his mother stroke the messy hair around his ears, "I have more than one night to accompany you here, and I don't have to worry about it."
Yu Sheng thought for a while, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself, I'm already so old, you don't have to worry about it." If I get married and have children in the future, I will bring them over to meet you, and you will still be so young and beautiful by then. ”
Yu Sheng's nose was a little sour, and he couldn't bear to look at Liu Yuejun in the photo anymore, the face that was hit by a car overlapped with the smiling face in the photo from time to time, as if he was silently calling for something.
Yu Sheng turned to Yu Ye's tombstone, where there was a sunny smiling face, so sunny that Yu Sheng felt strange, he had never seen Yu Ye like this since he returned to the Fifth District.
"You've loved to laugh since you were a kid, and you're still giggling even here...... Stay with your mother, and if you see Fanning below, make another choice, this time no one else can influence you. ”
Yu Sheng paused and whispered, "When I am old, you will still be so young, and then you can laugh at my white hair to your heart's content." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm ready to leave here, the Fifth District has never been my home, but in the past few days, my home here is gone, and I'm ready to start over in another place." What do you think of the third district, I remember when you were a kid your favorite cartoon was made in the third district; Or the sixth arrondissement, which is the very end of the empire, maybe it will be calmer there......"
"I'll admit, I'm afraid, I've not been as brave as you since I was a child, so maybe it's not a bad thing to leave here forever, right?"
"Just laugh," Yu Sheng stood up and patted the tombstone, like going back to when he was a child, he patted Yu Ye's head, "I'm gone." ”
Yu Sheng lowered his head, looked at his feet, and moved forward step by step, he didn't notice that in the woods not far away, there was a pair of eyes that kept falling on him.
Yu Yemu saw his brother leave, and took out a photo from his clothes, which was a family photo put together.
Yu Ye's eyes are still black and white, they have been like this since they tortured and killed District Chief Li and his wife in the morning, and it seems that he will never go back.
But Yu Ye didn't care, he was already in another world, and it wasn't strange that anything appeared there.
Yu Ye looked at the four smiling faces, and suddenly an idea came to him.
He had already seen some of the magical abilities of the Divine One, and perhaps more in the future. The abilities of those who are also gods are changeable and different, so in this world, is there any person who is also a god who will have the ability to resurrect the dead?
This thought appeared in his head so suddenly, and then he could no longer leave it, and Yu Ye's cold heart was heated again, like a fire in a winter night.
He knew what he was supposed to do next.
Mom, Ning'er, take the photos for the rest of the night, I want to resurrect you.
Yu Ye turned his back to the direction Yu Sheng had left and walked into the depths of the shadows.
(The first volume of brothers ends, although no one reads it, but I still want to say that the rest of my life is the protagonist, and Yu Ye will meet my brother in another capacity)
