After listening to my question, Brother Hulu sighed slightly, bent down and took out a cigarette case from under the bed, lit a cigarette, then scratched his head and grinned: "My verdict has been handed down, is it still meaningful for you to ask me this question now?"

I gritted my teeth and looked at Brother Hulu: "Sanhulu! You can still laugh!"

"Twenty or so young men, can you stop ticking cat urine here, wipe your face, and then come and sit down, since you're here, I'll talk to you." As Brother Hulu spoke, he moved aside a little bit beside him, and then looked at the thermos bucket in my hand: "What is the thing in your hand, did you bring it to me?"

I don't know why, the more I see Brother Hulu's hanging appearance, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"You can't hear me. Seeing that I didn't move, Brother Hulu gave me a blank look: "You really treat yourself as a guest, do you have to invite you?"

'Stomp!'

After listening to Brother Hulu's words, I took two steps forward and put the thermos bucket on the bed, and then Brother Hulu unscrewed the lid of the thermos bucket, looked at the pickles placed on the first layer, and immediately frowned, and then turned over the bottom again: "Han Fei, you wasted so much effort to come to see me, so you brought me some steamed buns, porridge and pickles?"

After listening to Sanhulu's words, I stiffened my neck, like an angry child: "I thought you would want these." ”

"Haha, silly boy, I'll tease you!" After listening to my words, Brother Hulu stretched out his hand and hugged me on my head, and nodded heavily: "Since I made the verdict, the little friend you worked in the detention center brought me three meals a day, and ate me with a lot of fish and meat, and you were about to vomit me, and your eldest brother saved me a lot of prison coins and sent several cigarettes, but none of them understood me, let alone know, this is what I was waiting for." ”

"The delicacies of the mountains and the sea are all fake, but the steamed porridge is real. ”

"That's right, it's still you kid who has a heart to me, knowing that if I can't eat this meal, I won't be able to close my eyes when I die. Brother Hulu grinned, holding a steamed bun in his hand, holding a bowl with rice porridge, and began to feast on steamed buns, his eating appearance was very embarrassing, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, and he didn't look like a death row prisoner at all.

Seeing Brother Hulu's eating appearance, I felt a pantothenic acid in my heart again: "Can you tell me now, the reason why you are bent on dying?"

"Don't talk, let me finish my meal. Brother Hulu didn't even raise his head, he just lowered his head to eat, and after listening to Brother Hulu's words, I also fell silent, watching him eat very quietly.

About five minutes later, the food in the thermos bucket had been swept away by Brother Hulu, and there was not even a pickle strip left.

"Hiccup!"

After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, Brother Hulu burped his neck, the expression on his face was very satisfied, and then he picked up the cigarette box beside him, took out two cigarettes, stuffed one of them into my mouth, lit it for me, and then lit another one himself: "Xiaofei, I know what you came here for today, but don't ask anything, smoke first, and then listen to me tell you a story, and when my story is finished, you may be able to understand everything, okay?"

"Good. I nodded involuntarily.

"Whew!"

Seeing me nodding, Brother Hulu smiled, crossed his legs, and slowly fell into memory: "Where should the story begin......?" Just from my childhood...... Do you know, I am from the Oroqen tribe, do you know what Oroqen means? The translation of Oroqen is the meaning of the deer hunter, so we Oroqen people are born hunters, since ancient times, to this day, still, our family, our ancestors have lived in the primeval forest for generations, hunting for generations, to my father's generation, and still doing this business, do you know, my father is the most famous hunter in our area!" The whole village of us is a hunter, but only my father can fight against the earth cannon and hunt the blind tiger and bear alone. ”

When I saw Brother Hulu mention his father, he looked like a child showing off his toys, and I suddenly felt very sad.

Brother Hulu didn't notice my emotions and continued to narrate: " My father said that the hunter lost his gun, that is, the eagle broke its wings, the tree broke its roots, the gun was gone, and his soul was gone, so he began to drink heavily, drank desperately, and finally died on the wine, leaving only the three brothers of our family, me and my second brother, all belong to my father's old son, the year my father left, my eldest brother was already nineteen, but my second brother and I were still young, the first years, it was my eldest brother who took care of our brothers, but unfortunately later he went to the mountains to poach, was killed by a blind bear, just because of this incident, the locals took my eldest brother as a joke, said that he dared to hunt bears with a kitchen knife, he was a big fool, in fact, sometimes I think about it, I also think my eldest brother is very stupid, but I have never treated him as a fool, do you know why my brother hunts bears?"

I took a cigarette in my mouth and looked at Brother Hulu: "I heard that after he was drunk, he made a bet with people that he was also a good hunter like your father, so he went up the mountain after drinking." ”

"Fart!" Brother Hulu listened to my words, laughed and scolded, and then continued to smile, the smile became a little bitter, but I don't know why, I always felt that in his eyes, I also saw a happy look, Brother Hulu took a puff of cigarette and continued: " My eldest brother's death, it is true that he made a bet with someone after drinking, but the content of the bet is different from what you heard, on the same day, my eldest brother made a bet with another person, saying that my second brother will grow up to be more productive than the children of that family, at that time, that person's child, who grew up with my second brother, has been sent to the city to study, the life of our era, children of your age is difficult to understand, all in all, for our family that even has a difficult way to make a living, going to school, is really a distant to the Arabian Nights, that day, after my eldest brother came home, he drank a lot of wine alone, he said to my second brother, he has to let us have a good life, then carried a kitchen knife out of the house, but never came back, that year was 1981, my second brother was seven years old, I was five years old. ”

After listening to Brother Hulu's words, I looked at him and suddenly found that his life experience seemed to be more tortuous than I imagined.

"At that time, the village chief of our village was a very kind old man, after my eldest brother was gone, my second brother and I were always raised by him, and in the winter of two years later, the village chief was gone, and the whole village was busy giving him a funeral, forgetting our brothers...... Can you imagine the scene of a nine-year-old child picking up mountain goods all over the mountains and asking for food from door to door to feed me? At that time, it was normal for my two brothers to go without food all day, and when my second brother was hungry, he could endure it, but I would only cry. ”

"Whew. I took a deep breath and didn't respond.

Brother Hulu mentioned these old things, there was not much sadness on his face, but there were endless sighs: "People in the mountains say that my second brother was competing with other children and jumped into the river to drown, in fact, he jumped into the river to catch fish, and caught fish because our brothers were so hungry, my second brother said to me, let me not be afraid, make me fish stew at night, and he left, like my eldest brother, never came back, that year, my second brother was nine years old, and I was seven years old. ”

“……”

"After my second brother was gone, I ate a hundred family meals, at that time our village was not called a village, it was called a brigade, and the township government was called a commune, and the commune would allocate some relief food every year in order to take care of me as an orphan, but I was only seven years old, how can I cook, so the brigade department made a decision, let me take turns to live in the villagers' homes, each family lived for a month, and the food was provided by the brigade, for me at that time, there was no goal in life, the only big thing, that is, to fill my stomach, as for those things to go to school, I didn't even dare to think about it, so when other children went to school, I have been herding cattle in the mountainsBefore the age of nineteen, I never left the mountains, although I heard others mention life outside the mountains, but I couldn't think of the picture in my mind, because I had never seen anything, until one time, down the mountain a big boss of a furniture factory that collected wood, he was driving a tiger head Ben, with his little daughter-in-law, eating canned food and biscuits brought from down the mountain, and he also gave me a piece, when I ate that biscuit, I felt more fragrant than meat! From that day, I still knew for the first time, it turned out that the people under the mountain are so rich, they eat so well, and the girls under the mountain, are really fucking beautiful, that night, I went to my father's grave, and told them, I also want to eat biscuits every day, I also find a city girl, but also take them to the city to live, the next morning, I took all my savings, left the mountain, I vaguely remember, that year Hong Kong has not returned to the motherland, almost around 1996. ”

"You're in Ayang, haven't you?"

"yes. Brother Hulu smiled: "At that time, I originally planned to go to Inner Mongolia, because someone told me that Inner Mongolia is full of pastures, cattle and sheep, and I have no culture, except for herding cattle, Sheep, nothing, but I didn't expect, I just arrived at the county train station, I met a group of liars, there was an old lady lying on the ground, next to a young man crying, said that his mother was seriously ill, had to be sent to the hospital immediately, but there was no money, so I wanted to put the ID card in the hands of others to borrow money, and I just came out of the mountain, how do I know that people are unpredictable, so I lent him money, but left and right, he did not come back, I went to the police, the police said, the ID card is fake, I did not bring much money at that time, he deceived eight hundred, there are still thirty yuan left, the ticket at that time was very cheap, in the hotel of the chase shop, only five yuan a night, Along the way, I was very saving, but when I got all the way to Shenyang, the money was still spent, and the goal in my heart was to go to Inner Mongolia, not Shenyang, I thought at the time, buddy ambition out of the mountain, always can't even fucking not even reach the destination, just throw it on the halfway, but I have no relatives in Shenyang, no reason, and no money-making skills, so I can only learn to pick up the rags from others, but who knows, that year to pick up the rags, but also fucking divide the territory, I just did it for a long time, was blocked by a few little cubs, said why beat me, at that time I was young and vigorous, can I be afraid of a few rag kings, so three times five divided by two to clean them upAt that time, the leader of the gang convinced me, and persuaded me to stay and be their eldest brother, saying that the garbage heap at the railway station in the future was all under my jurisdiction, but at that time my ambition was to herd sheep, and I was not interested in picking up the rags, so I refused them without hesitation, they saw that I insisted on going to the field, so they gave me an idea, let me mix on the train, and these people also took me to a small lane in the train station, don't say, these few pick up the rags, really a little anxious, at that time I followed the method they taught me, quite easily mixed into the carriage, at that moment, I thought that the train, is a new starting point in my life, full of ambition, never even thinking about the way back. ”
