Brother Chapter 1 Before It All Begins

Next Chapter

The rest of my life sat in a cold metal chair, feeling the last trace of heat left in my body in the early summer time gradually dissipated by the air conditioning of the station. The people around him came and went, bustling, like silhouettes swaying.

The rest of his life rubbed the mineral water bottle in his hand, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He let out a long sigh, never thinking that he would leave the second district where he had lived for more than ten years in this way.

Yu Sheng took out the phone, opened the call interface, looked at the dozen or so call records received in a day under the same number, thought about it, and chose to call back.

Almost at the same time as the bell rang, the phone was picked up, and apparently, the person over there was always by the phone, as if he was afraid of an important call.

Yu Sheng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a hoarse female voice with a faint crying voice came from his mobile phone.

"Yu Sheng, are you back? Your brother is ...... He hasn't woken up yet...... I really don't know what to do right now...... Come over here......"

As she spoke, the woman couldn't stop crying.

The rest of his life was silent, he didn't know what to say to comfort his mother, who was almost broken, but almost a stranger.

It was a long time before he heard his own voice say, "...... I'm already at the station and can go back today. Don't be too sad, pay attention to your body, you still need to take care of Yu Ye, what is there to wait for me to go back and discuss together. Bad things, we are together as a family, and we can always get through it. ”

The voice in his ears was ethereal, as if it did not come from his mouth, but from a long distance.

After a few more words, Yu Sheng couldn't remember how he hung up the phone, and when he came back to his senses, his fingers were still on the buttons of the phone, as if it was just a second ago.

Yu Sheng straightened his waist, and his thoughts were churning in his mind, as if thousands of threads were entwined, filling every inch of space in his brain. And for the rest of his life, he needs to struggle in the online group, trying to find the starting point of everything.

The last time I saw my mother was half a year ago, at my father's funeral.

said that it was a funeral, but in fact, there were only three or four people, and the father of the rest of his life was alone before his death, and he was used to being alone and had no friends.

Except for a colleague who had been greatly helped by the rest of his life, there were only two neighbors who had nothing to do at home, and they appeared at the funeral with a sad face with a lively but unspeakable mentality.

Yu Sheng accepted the comfort of a few people, either sincere or false, originally as a child, he should have said something for his father's life, but let the cold wind hover among several people for a long time, Yu Sheng's mouth opened and closed, but found that there was actually nothing to say.

The first half of the rest of his father's life was not brilliant, ordinary and ordinary, but he had a happy family and a pair of smart sons. But since the divorce, even this bit of color in his life has been erased.

The days of the rest of his life by his side were barely fine, and when the rest of his life began to live in school, all that was left for his father was loneliness and wine, and he began to like to be accompanied by wine.

Before Yu Sheng received a call informing him of his father's death, he never knew that people would freeze themselves to death if they drank.

Yu Sheng signed in the funeral home, looking at his father's powdered face, under the pale and unnatural foundation, there was a faint blue throughout.

For the rest of his life, it is hard to imagine how my father got so drunk in the ice and snow that he stripped naked and rolled in the snow until he finally froze.

Ridiculous, said silently in the bottom of my heart for the rest of my life. He shook the snow off his body and looked at the portrait of his father, in the photo, Yu's father, who was more than ten years younger, was thin and handsome, with a chuckle on his face, and the messy old appearance when he died was completely two people.

The deceased is gone, but the life of the living continues, and according to custom, everyone made a simple blessing to the deceased, expressed condolences at will, and hurriedly buried the coffin that had begun to accumulate snow.

When the last handful of soil was taken and the guests left, they were left to stand alone in the ever-heavier wind and snow for the rest of their lives, as if everything had just woken up from a dream.

Yu Sheng found that he had lost the only loved one around him like this, and it turned out that death came so casually that before Yu Sheng could react, it had come and gone, leaving only a vast land.

The rest of his life still remembers that day he stepped on the thicker and thicker snow, step by step home, watching the excited laughter of pedestrians on the road in the snow and the vehicles driving cautiously in the driver's anxious mind, the mood was like the leaden gray sky at that time, it seemed that there were countless snowflakes falling one after another, and the snow was empty.

For the rest of his life, in the fifteenth year after following his father to the second district, he saw his mother again an hour after his father's burial.

Although she was notified of Yu Sheng in advance, Yu's mother still did not appear at Yu's father's funeral. For her, Yu's father was probably dead at the moment of divorce, and she came over this time more to see this son who had not seen her for more than ten years. She may not regret the divorce, but she always feels guilty about her two children, especially the eldest son who was awarded to Yu's father, no matter what aspect, Yu's mother has to admit that she owes him.

He only remembered that his mother was a little bless and a little older than when he was a child, and that the wind was very strong that day, and the snow was white like the silver hair that had appeared on his mother's head.

The rest of his life was pulled back to reality by the station's broadcast notice, and the rest of his life was squinted by the white expanse in front of him, and finally found that the white was not the snow in his memory, but the light of the station's ceiling.

"Please note that passengers travelling from Zone 2 East Station to Zone 5 Center Station have started ticket check-in...... Please note that the ...... from District 2 East Station "

For the rest of his life, he spent more than ten years living in District 2 into this small sports backpack, and was about to follow him out of here and back to his hometown after a long absence.

For the rest of your life, you can check your ticket, find your place, put your luggage, and sit down quietly. There were a lot of people on the train, everyone was in the middle of the lane, and a sweaty middle-aged man squeezed into the seat next to Yu Sheng, sat down, put his briefcase on the table, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The man took off his gold-rimmed glasses, took out the silk spectacle cloth from his breast pocket, wiped it carefully, and took out a handkerchief from his briefcase, wiped the sweat off his face a little bit, and then looked left and right.

The man's eyes turned around, and fell on Yu Sheng beside him, colliding with Yu Sheng's gaze, and the two of them were stunned by each other, and both smiled awkwardly.

The train shook and began to move forward. The carriage was buzzing, and the passengers who knew each other and did not know each other were either with the joy of returning home or with the reluctance to leave, and people were talking to each other with great interest, which made the already stuffy carriage even more annoying.

For the rest of his life, it felt as if there was an invisible mass of cotton covering his whole body, blocking every pore on his body.

The air conditioner in the car just began to blow cold air weakly, and the man next to Yu Sheng began to talk to Yu Sheng.

"Little brother, where are you going?" the man's voice was extraordinarily calm.

Look at the man for the rest of his life, on a hot day, he is still in a suit and leather shoes, and his neatly combed hair is not messy even if it sweats like rain.

This is either a liar, or an elite, think for the rest of your life.

"District Five. No matter what kind of person the other party is, the shy rest of his life is not good at turning a blind eye to other people's words, and he still tells the truth politely.

"Five districts...... Fellow travelers, so am I. The man smiled, "People from District 5?"

Yu Sheng thought about it carefully, "So to speak. ”

The man nodded, "This is the first time I've been to District 5, I don't know what to eat and have fun in District 5, local characteristics, little brother can introduce me to it." ”

"It's true that I was born in District 5, but I came to District 2 when I was in junior high school, and I haven't been back since," Yu Sheng said embarrassedly, "I really don't know what you asked, I can't be your tour guide, I'm really sorry." ”

The man waved his hand, "No, I'll just ask casually, then when you go back this time, are you going to visit relatives or go back to settle down?"

This question was asked for the rest of his life, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and then he realized that he never seemed to have thought about whether he would settle in the Fifth District in the future.

The man's profession has made him see all kinds of things in the world, he observes words and feelings, and knows that the young man in front of him has something on his mind, so he takes the initiative to change the topic.

The man pulled out a business card from the card holder in his bag and handed it to Yu Sheng.

"My name is Zhong Jian, and I am a lawyer from Kaiyun Law Firm in District 2, this is my business card, since we are destined to sit together, we might as well get to know each other," the man smiled, "Of course, although I gave you a business card, I sincerely hope that you will never need it in the future." ”

Yu Sheng took the business card and shook hands with Zhong Jian, he thought about it and found that he had nothing to introduce, so he had to be honest: "Yu Sheng, I just resigned, I went home to see my mother and brother, I don't have any ideas about the future for the time being, although it is only a one-sided relationship, but I am still very happy to meet you." ”

"You're the first lawyer I've ever known. Yu Sheng added.

"Ha, if it weren't for people in our industry, it wouldn't be because I met too many lawyers because I encountered anything good. Zhong Jian laughed at himself, "If you talk about kung fu, it's easy to annoy people." ”

"How can it be, lawyers are elite. "The rest of my life was wide-eyed and unbelievable.

"Knowing us, most of them mean that there is a lawsuit, whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, after all, it is a headache and bad luck. Zhong Jian explained with a wry smile.

Yu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and asked curiously, "Lawyer Zhong is going on a business trip to District 5?"

"Yes," Zhong Jian said, "there is a case where the crime occurred and the defendant and the plaintiff are all in the fifth district, but I don't know why the client found our law firm." ”

"What case?" asked Yu Sheng curiously.

"Rape, plus intentional injury. Zhong Jian said lightly, "I haven't learned the specific circumstances of the criminal case, but I have only heard that it is very serious." One of the victims is still in the hospital and has not yet woken up. ”

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What is the name of the victim?"

Zhong Jian was slightly stunned, frowned and said: "A little couple, one is called Fanning, and the one who hasn't woken up until now is called Yu Ye, speaking of which, you are still your own family, do you know?"

Yu Sheng suddenly felt that the air conditioner in the carriage was very cold.
