"I never forget. At this time, Zhang Tianzheng turned his head, looked at the place where He Qi stood hidden in the darkness and said silently, the time of twenty years slowly flowed between the gradually dimming sky, tears blurred the vision, the smile was indifferent to the dusk, and suddenly, the hunchback, who was always smirking, suddenly walked out of the darkness of the mountain and cloud communication.

That's pride, never before.

"I'm not smart, but I always have a little ability, Mr. said, people who have the ability should bear the world, the sky falls, I can also top this hunchback. ”

Many years ago, two men stood together, one with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, holding a thick handful of renminbi in his hand, and the other, hunched over, standing on the dirt slope, rubbing his hands, smiling greenly, whispering to his brother about his ambitions, saying the words like the above.

"I, Zhang Tianzheng, have a younger brother like you, it's a fucking shame. At that time, Zhang Tianzheng was wearing a cyan robe, the dazzling gold chain around his neck flashed with the sun, his face was full of disdain, and he gave his younger brother a head fiercely, and roared hatefully: " Zhang Tianjiao, why are you so fucking angry, what does it mean for our father and mother to name you Tianjiao, it's not for you to learn from Genghis Khan, even if you can't learn, then don't mix up and regress, let's learn this skill, the world's gold and silver treasures, it's not a matter of a few words, you are good, get around, make Lei Feng, you say, follow that bad old man, what's good, is he giving you dragon liver and phoenix gall or giving you gold and silver sea?"

"I used to think that there were shortcomings, but now I have found them. The hunchback smiled abruptly, pointed to his heart and said, "Here, steadfast, when you sleep, you are not afraid." ”

"This is not a good thing!" Zhang Tianzheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We are in this business, deceiving and cheating, doing things that are originally offending people, we have to have a string in our hearts, we can't sleep at night, we have to prevent people from coming to the door, you are afraid of being afraid, waiting for you to be afraid, then you will be careless, careless, whether it is the enemy coming to the door or making a move, you have to be vigilant." ”

"The heart is bright, even if you lose your hand, you are not afraid. Hunchback rubbed his hands and smiled, and couldn't help but glance at the handful of money in Zhang Tianzheng's hand again, Zhang Tianzheng, who was angry, trembled, slammed the money on the ground, stomped his feet and scolded: "Damn, how can Lao Tzu have such a money-losing brother like you, Lao Tzu worked hard to get some belongings and gave you a fucking subsidy!"

"There is a chemical factory in the east, and more than 100 workers in it are sick, and the boss does not admit it, so everyone wants to go to the pit him and get some money to treat these people, yes, it is a good deed. The hunchback's face was a little red, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Brother, I borrowed this money from you, this bureau is a bit big, and everyone can't turn it over." ”

"You, you, you say it yourself, what are you doing here!" Zhang Tianzheng stomped his feet and hurriedly said: "You dozens of people, although you can't be said to be famous figures, but you have the skills in your hands, it's not easy to get some money, how can you be so depressed that you even look at my 10,000 yuan? It's really a fucking joke in our circle, dozens of experts with a hand are so poor that they go home to borrow money!"

"There are too many poor people in the world, I can't see them suffering, where can I keep the money I get, this time, it happened suddenly, and it was too late for any game. The hunchback sighed, raised his head, and said to Zhang Tianzheng seriously: "Brother, we have to live for ourselves, we have to have a reason, this is not the same as living for others, Mr. said that each of us was born and was standing, but later, we were forced to kneel for those bastards, so we have to stand up from scratch now, not only ourselves, but also let more people stand up and be an upright person, brother, you have this ability, Mr. likes it very much, let's do it together!"

"Damn!" Zhang Tianzheng's eyes widened, he lifted his robe, kicked the small tree on the side of the road fiercely, and said angrily: "That bad old man is not the most fucking easy to beat, he fooled you and didn't say it, and made up his mind on Lao Tzu's head, if this person lives for himself, then what are you still alive for, you are going to tell me, what are the things you do?

"When the world sees a child falling into a well, there is still compassion, how can we be indifferent when we see others suffering?" The hunchback shook his head, his mouth moved, and he just wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Zhang Tianzheng waving his hand.

"This kind of thing, you can't say it, you don't use the bad old man's trick to fool me, what compassion, this thing closes his eyes, turns his head and walks a few steps and forgets about it, anyway, I'm like this, what to save the world, this kind of ambition is not suitable for me. Zhang Tianzheng stared at the hunchbacked eyes, and said: "I'll ask you, are you living freely, are you happy, let me take care of you before my parents leave, saying that you are not in good health, and you don't ask for anything else, just ask you to be happy for a lifetime, I originally wanted to get a sum of money to make you comfortable to find a daughter-in-law to get a house to live a small life, but now it seems that you are a king who eats scales, and you are determined to follow the old man, so I have to ask you." ”

"This..."The hunchback hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said seriously: "I'm very happy, I helped those people, they are doing better, even if I don't say thank you, I'm quite happy." ”

"It's good if you're happy, if you're happy. Zhang Tianzheng sighed, took out the money hidden in the robe, handed it to his brother, squeezed out a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, brother has recently found a big business, I have to go to Jiangxi, you are good, wait for you to become a hero in the world, brother will come to you, when the time comes, our brothers will stand together, and have a good glory of the ancestors!"

"Brother..."

Zhang Tianzheng, who was standing on the lotus platform, seemed to hear the long-lost voice of the hunchback again, he raised his head, let the mountain wind blow away the tears, and suddenly remembered that year, he came to Jiucang Mountain for that encounter.

"Hunchbacked grandpa, hunchbacked grandpa..."The immature children's voice made Zhang Tianzheng turn around in astonishment, and several pink-carved children ran over laughing, threw themselves into their brother's not too wide arms, and scrambled to deliver the snacks in their hands to his mouth.

"I can't do anything big, and that's still the case. The years have passed silently, but the face can't refuse to be old, the hunchback sighed, and after coaxing a few children away, he smiled self-deprecatingly and wryly: "I can't even protect a few children, I, what kind of hero?"

"I also met a few people who went out of Jiucang Mountain, and after inquiring, they all said that you did a good job, which is a great merit!" Zhang Tianzheng sighed with embarrassment, the two brothers have been separated from each other for decades, but the news has never been broken, at first the disdain for his brother, gradually disappeared with the change of age, turned into a heartfelt pride, those rumors in the wonderful overall situation, he can always see the shadow of his brother, especially when he knows that it is because of his hunchback brother, hundreds of abandoned, forgotten, disgusted children grow up happily and healthily, he has never regretted it, and he actually has some regrets, he chose a different path back then, and the elderly will always begin to reflect on the past, in the many years of Longhu Mountain, those kindness and conscience from Jiucang Mountain, in countless subtle subtleties, finally came to his heart.

"It's useless, we, it's useless. The hunchback shook his head, glanced at the towering hall on the top of the mountain, and sighed: "This time, I'm afraid that even the Jiucang Temple will be gone." ”

"How is it possible?" Zhang Tianzheng at that time couldn't believe his ears, he pointed to the mountain gate of Jiucang Temple and said: "Hundreds of people, they can't even keep a broken temple, it's impossible!"

"There is a rumor that it is said that the enemy family, along the vine and the melon, is about to find here, what is the use of more people?" said with a hunchback on his face helplessly: "Everyone has offended more and more people over the years, and finally provoked a big one, several families together, where can we deal with them." ”

"Then don't you run, what are you afraid of him doing?" Zhang Tianzheng frowned, and shouted: "Let's do this business, what we rely on is to be fast, hurry up and start the game, quickly collect the money, and then quickly run away without a trace, you are nesting here, it was originally a big taboo, and now that something has happened, why don't you leave, waiting for someone to come to the door with the public security to arrest you?"

"Sir, he..."The hunchback hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and said: "Sir, he doesn't believe that those people we have helped will betray us, and now there is a lot of quarrel, everyone, it's not the same person back then..."

"That He Qi, can't you speak? We still have some friendship. Zhang Tianzheng frowned and said: "He and that old man can be regarded as relatives, in a word, I will run away first, and then I will find him." ”

"It's these two who quarrel, those who believe in the old man don't want to go, and those who don't believe the old man don't dare to go. The hunchback hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked, "You say, those people we have helped, really, will bite back?"

"This, perhaps, will..."Zhang Tianzheng thought for a while and said: " People, just like a wolf, when he is weak, he will pretend to be pitiful with his tail between his legs, you give him a piece of meat, help him drive away the tiger, he is afraid of you, or thank you so that he does not bite you, but if there are dozens of big tigers, then he may help the tiger kill you in turn, if it is really like you said, the opponents unite, this is a big mountain, those people you have helped meet, nine times out of ten, they will kneel down and sell you cleanly, clearly, now, this place, can not stay!"
