The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the small year.

When I got up early in the morning, Qin Mengmeng and Xiao Ziqing were busy making dumplings, because today, I was going to invite my brothers to eat dumplings.

All the utensils were brought in secretly, and through Jiang Wenwen's connections, they were even transported into the company in her trunk.

Because the company does not allow private meals, let alone such a big battle.

After the dumplings were cooked, I divided them into many portions with the prepared paper bowls, we couldn't meet in my dormitory, I had already made an appointment with my brothers to be in the field, and Jiang Wenwen had already sent a few beers in advance, as well as cold vegetables and peanuts or something, she had been secretly helping me, if it wasn't for Jiang Wenwen, I might not have been able to do anything.

Everything was almost ready, the dumplings were wrapped, and just before I was about to leave, two women stopped me.

Xiao Ziqing said: "Wu Xiao, Mengmeng told me everything, since you like her and she also likes you, then I bless you...... But you have to come back well, and you can't let down my niece!"

In the face of Xiao Ziqing's calmness and generosity, I was a little surprised!

At this time, Qin Mengmeng said: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you, but when you are desperate, remember to think of me, because because of my concern, I can bless you to return safely!"

At this time, the two girls were already in tears.

I looked at the two women in front of me, I didn't know what to say, a man fighting outside may be because of a moment of courage, but behind him, there are those who are worried about him, praying for him with endless suffering.

My nose was sore, and I tried not to let the tears roll down, and I assured them: "Qingqing, Mengmeng, don't worry, I promise you that this will not be the last goodbye." ”

Qin Mengmeng pulled a necklace from her neck and handed it to me, I looked at it and saw that it was a Buddhist bead.

She said: "Wu Xiao, this Buddha bead is my talisman, it was given to me by Grandpa Tao of Shangri-La, it blessed me for 17 years, today, I give it to my most beloved you, I hope this luck will continue to follow you and accompany you to return safely." ”

I don't dare to take the Buddha beads, although I am not a superstitious person, but at this moment, I am extremely sensitive, the two women in front of me are the people I care about the most, all my efforts are for them, if they have three long and two short, I will be considered successful, then what's the point.

Just when I was hesitating, Qin Mengmeng forcibly stuffed the Buddha beads into the bag on my chest, leaned into my ear and whispered to me: "Husband, I will give you the amulet, I don't allow you to refuse, because, if you have three long and two short, what does it mean for me to live in this world?"

My heart trembled.

This is a creepy feeling, is there really such a thing as a heart and soul in this world, why Qin Mengmeng and I have exactly the same thoughts, and there is no difference in even the rhetoric?

Sunset.

The heartbroken man is at the end of the world!

Looking at the more than a dozen men in the barren grass, I opened the beer and held it up to them: "Brothers, open a bar, a few of our brothers, have a drink today." ”

With the crisp sound of opening the bottle, the bottle was opened one after another, and everyone raised the bottle and shouted in unison: "Dry ......"

The spicy wine entered the throat, and many people choked on tears.

King Kong held up the bottle and said: "Brothers, call everyone out today, first, to have a happy New Year, and second, I don't say it, everyone should be able to guess, right?"

"Brother King Kong, there should be a brother named Xiaolong in the brocade pile today, but that fucking knife is more than a thing, and he dares to do it right under our noses......"

A word of righteous indignation rang out from the crowd, and the man stood behind the tower, apparently brought by the tower.

Tie Ta answered: "This brother is right, our good brother Xiaolong was cut down, and now he is still lying in the hospital and his life and death are uncertain, to be honest, I drink this wine bitterly!"

While weeping, he poured a sip of wine, because no matter how bitter the wine is, it must be drunk, this is the wine of brothers, the wine of heart.

King Kong looked at the tower, then at me, and then said, "Today, we in Angkor have invited you here to discuss a way to get justice for the Xiaolong brothers. ”

After he said this, the audience suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, after exchanging glances for a while.

Someone spoke: "Brother King Kong, there are many people with knives, how do you want to get justice, do you want each of us to carry a knife and cut the door?"

"Yes, Brother King Kong, since Xiaolong is already in the hospital, we should endure this breath, do you want all of us to lie in the hospital like Xiaolong?"

In addition, someone said, and the person next to King Kong also answered: "With more than a dozen of us, we are not their opponents at all, not to mention that the knife is Manager Wang's person, and if he moves the knife, he is against Manager Wang, and if this fight comes back, we will all become homeless, have you considered this consequence?"

The scene fell into a deathly silence again, and King Kong looked at me with a pleading eye, perhaps even he himself did not believe that the brother he brought with him would have so many concerns.

He hadn't thought it through, so he didn't know how to convince his brothers.

"As long as life is at its lowest point, no matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse. ”

I used this sentence to break the silence, and everyone's eyes were attracted to me, and they stared at me with their own thoughts, making their own calculations.

I said, "You may not know that Xiaolong's beheading was actually wronged, and our opponent's slashing was also random, that is, they were cutting Xiaolong that day, and it is more likely that they were any of us, so death is not far from us, and it may find us at any time, because now, our fate is in the hands of others, is it right or not?"

At my rhetorical question, everyone nodded, and I raised the bottle to them: "Come, brothers, for the sake of yourself, for the sake of the little dragon that was cut down, drink one." ”

Three bottles of wine in the stomach, everyone has some wine, in the cold wind, while eating and drinking, someone asked me: "Angkor, to be honest, this kind of worrying days, we have really had enough, living every day is really called life is better than death!"

I held the bottle and asked them, "Brothers, do you have any dreams, why don't we talk about dreams?"

"How can I not have a dream, my dream is to make a lot of money, go home and open a big supermarket, so that my parents' life can be better......"

"My dream is to buy a house, so that my wife and son can live more spacious and comfortable, so that my children can go to a good school......"

"My dream is more realistic, I hope to be like Angkor you, find a little girl like a flower, accompany me for the rest of my life, even if I can't find a flower-like jade, ordinary, as long as she follows me with all her heart, let me be a dog, I am willing to ......"

This dream caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and after laughing, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

I slammed the wine bottle in my hand on the ground, startling everyone, I pulled out my Nepalese saber, pointed at everyone, and roared: "Who doesn't have dreams, but what if you have dreams, you only dare to talk but don't dare to take practical actions, and many dreams are all daydreams." ”

The setting sun shone on the back of the knife and reflected on the faces of the people, and I continued: "Today, we are trampled on the ground and cannot get up, and if we do not cut off this foot on the top of our heads, we will always be wasted!"

So the man bowed his head.

I put the knife in my bag, took one last look at the glow in the west, slowly turned around, and faced the direction of the company: "Tonight, I want to seek justice for my brother Xiaolong, if you are willing to go with me, you can go, if you don't want to, continue to stay here to eat and drink well, spend the New Year, daydream, if there is a chance to see you again in the future, I will still treat you as friends, but not as brothers, because brothers are exchanged for their lives." ”

After saying that, I took a step and walked towards the company, in the direction of the knife dormitory.

King Kong followed, the tower followed, and Tang Hu, and Zhang Meng, one, three, five...... In the end, everyone followed, and they followed me quietly, without speaking, like warriors dying one by one, with solemn and resolute expressions.

The afterglow of the setting sun dragged the reflection of the eighteen warriors for a long time, against the backdrop of the barren grass and dead leaves, like a cowboy oil painting of the American West......

It was finally completely dark.

"Wait a minute, if you can get into the roof, and when you find out their bottom, you can throw something down, and I'll take my brothers up!"

I said to a couple of brothers who were leading the way.

Tang Hu and King Kong picked up a plastic bag from the ground, quickly touched it into the dormitory building, I clenched the saber in my hand, and said to the brother behind me: "It's dark now, everyone looks at the soles of their feet when they fight on the roof, don't step on the air!"

"Don't worry, Angkor, in fact, in terms of fighting, we are all veterans, and we will definitely pay attention to the safety of our feet. ”

The tower replied behind me, I nodded, looked at the vast night, and took a deep breath: "Tower, you take seven people to guard under the stairs leading to the top of the building, if there are people behind them, you will block them for me, and if their people want to escape from the roof, you will also block them for me!"

Iron Tower said no problem, and ordered a few people to stand behind him.

"The remaining eight brothers, you will follow me to the top of the stairs, and the knife and Wang Wei will also shoot when the time comes, remember, don't coward, they slashed Xiaolong eleven, and we will abolish these bastards tonight!" I said fiercely.

At this time, I look like a gangster leader on the streets, I don't know why, a former psychiatrist, has become an outlaw who is now slashing with a knife, taking this step may be fate, or it may be inevitable by chance, but for the sake of the brothers behind me, I will go out tonight.

The brothers regarded death as home, none of them flinched, their expressions were calm and calm, at this time a crescent moon slowly rose in the sky, and the miserable white moonlight sprinkled down, shining on the faces of these eighteen warriors, at first glance, like eighteen statues, at this time, a white plastic bag, slowly floated down from the roof of the building.

I took my last breath, clenched the hilt of the knife, raised my hand and said: "Brothers, the signal has been sent, the battle will start immediately, everyone rush with me, after tonight, whether it is life or death, you are all the most worthy people in my life Wu Xiao." ”

Everyone tore open the newspaper one after another, showing the blade of the knife.

The tower said, "Angkor, brothers are waiting for you downstairs in triumph!"

"Kill me in, no one will be left!"

I didn't say anything else, but rushed into the night with my brothers, like warriors dying to the death......
