It's really hot, so hot that Tao Hao's mouth is dry, not only because it's hot, but also because the girl next to him is so beautiful.

On the youthful face, the facial features are as delicate as a fairy in a painting. The light beige dress just covers the white jade knees, a pale yellow ribbon on the thin waist is tied, beautiful and dynamic, and a pair of beige sandals on the feet reflect the jade foot slenderness.

"What are you looking at?"

Tao Hao, who is still sven, is not like Wang Ren and them, he has always stared at beautiful women, and his beautiful name is that he has the courage to be a thief but not a thief, and when he heard this beauty's coquettish voice, he couldn't help but say in a smooth tone: "You are beautiful, if you look like this birdman, the ghost will look at you!"

The beauty took a sip and scolded, "Rascal!"

"Cut, don't you dress up just to show men? If you want me to say, good men are seduced by you beauties!"

"You"

'Ahem', the next posterior coughed twice, and said dissatisfiedly: "Tao Hao, leave virtue under your mouth."

If you don't have a thief's heart, don't hold it, you can tease if you have a thief's courage, Tao Hao, who has a thief's courage and no thief's heart, doesn't care and says: "I don't soak her." ”

After speaking, Tao Hao remembered what was going on, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's you, you have lied to me for a year, you should give me an explanation, right?

Hou Sheng was silent, and hurriedly walked into a nice small restaurant, and Tao Hao hurriedly followed regardless of the beauty next to him.

"Wait for me", when the beautiful woman trotted over, Tao Hao and the others had already walked into the small restaurant where there were still many guests eating breakfast, and a thin man who was also very clean was holding two bowls of porridge in his hands.

The thin man who was busy with business heard the sound of high heels, looked back and saw that it was this beauty, and said in surprise: "Yo, little sister Qingqing, what wind blew you here?"

"A small bowl of soup powder, add meat and eggs!"

"You're Lao Mu?"

Lao Mu, who had a bad face, nodded, took a bottle of water from the counter and gave it to the beauty, and then went straight to the back of the small restaurant.

Behind the small restaurant is a small bungalow, although the outside is very shabby, but the inside is neat and clean, and even the quilt is folded with edges and corners. Lao Mu opened the wall fan on the wall, sat down at an old table, and motioned for Tao Hao to sit too.

This is not right, when Lao Mu opened the drawer, Tao Hao said carefully: "Lao Mu, my eldest brother has an accident?"

"Dead"

"What?"

Tao Hao jumped up, but Lao Mu lowered his head and lit a cigarette, while rummaging through the drawer, and said heavily: "He died not long after he came back after the fight with you, uremia." ”

"Impossible!"

"It's true, he went to your place just to make some money. ”

How so?

Tao Hao was stunned, his head was blank, and it took a long time to slowly come back to his senses, and said angrily: ", you are his brother, you won't send him to treatment!"

Lao Mu, who was refilling the cigarette butt with a cigarette butt, smiled bitterly, and said gloomily: "Tao Hao, it costs more than 2,000 yuan to do dialysis once, and it costs more than 200,000 yuan to change a kidney, and there may not be a kidney source." Don't say we don't know, but we know, smashing the pot and selling iron can't help him. ”

If you can't help, you won't help? Tao Hao said angrily: "You fart!"

"Really", Lao Mu puffed on his cigarette, handed over the photo he had found, and sighed: "Tao Hao, not everyone is as rich as your family. We are just ordinary people, we get up early and stay dark for a month, and we are not enough for Lao Mu to do dialysis once. If it were you, would you like to involve the brothers?"

I don't know.

Tao Hao looked at the photo blankly, on it was a new tomb, an old man wearing a black veil and the thin man just now and two offspring who he didn't know, the four of them sat on the ground around the new grave, and the tombstone read the tomb of his comrade-in-arms Niu Changlin.

I heard Lao Mu say that Niu Changlin was from the Evergreen Factory, and when he was a teenager, there was an accident in the ammunition workshop, and his parents were all blown up. After becoming an adult, the factory sent him to be a soldier, and they were in a regiment with Lao Mu, and after leaving the army, the two drove a truck for a private boss for a while.

"Tao Hao, Changlin is buried in Yuzhou Cemetery, when you have time, I will take you to see him. ”

"Oh", Tao Hao, who was still in a daze, subconsciously responded, I don't know how long he sat in the neat little bungalow, until the thin man came to ask him to eat lunch.

"I'm not hungry"

Seeing that Tao Hao didn't move, the thin man took away the photo in his hand, threw it back into the messy drawer, and comforted: "Tao Hao, don't be sad, it's all fate." ”

Is it sad? There is a point, more of an empty heart, after all, he and Niu Changlin are only one-sided, he feels that the other party is a hero, and wants to make this friend. The frustrated Tao Hao took the cigarette from the thin man's hand and said gloomily: "Brother Sen, Brother Changlin is a town hukou, and there is an assignment for the veterans, right?

"How do you manage it? They haven't paid wages in the factory for half a year, and two or three thousand people are waiting for the department's appropriation to buy rice for cooking. Fuck, in this world, there are hundreds of thousands of people sitting under the buttocks of officials, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat a stable meal. ”

Hey, Tao Hao, who was not yet twenty, sighed, got up and followed the thin man to eat. The business of the small shop is good, and there are seven or eight customers sooner, and they are all customers with bags and suitcases.

After eating, Tao Hao asked the thin man for a BP machine number, and was about to go to the station to continue to welcome the new year, but he walked to the alley and turned back. He seemed to remember what Lao Mu said, Brother Changlin went to the Terracotta Bridge to make a lot of money to bury himself, what the hell is going on?

"Brother Sen, have you heard Brother Changlin talk about the Terracotta Bridge?"

Zhong Sen, who was looking for money, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Tao Hao, don't worry about this kind of thing. ”

"I just want to know what's going on!"

Zhong Sen threw the money in his hand into the drawer and said in a deep voice: "If you tell you to leave it alone, don't care, why are you a college student doing this!"

Spending money to buy murderers, collecting money and selling his life, Tao Hao has listened to those drivers who come and go from south to north talk a lot, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong. Hmph, how big is the Terracotta Bridge? I know with my ass that it is Lao Bai who pays to buy the murderer, and what I buy is Lao Liu's broken hands and feet, so he can go in and get out of the way.

However, Brother Changlin is a good man, and he would rather work hard to make money and bury himself than involve his brothers. If Brother Changlin didn't receive the money, he Tao Hao would have to take care of it, he couldn't be like a scumbag like Lao Bai who could spend all his time drinking, and the hero didn't have the money to bury himself?

Therefore, Tao Hao, who thought he was angry, leaned over and whispered: "Brother Sen, this happened at the Terracotta Bridge, and I have a way to manage it!"

If you don't read a good book, why is this kid so confused?

Seeing that the guests came over, Zhong Sen had no choice but to drag Tao Hao to the back, and when he arrived at the small bungalow where he lived, he said in a deep voice: "Tao Hao, no one owes Lao Mu, and he doesn't owe anyone, just let him go in peace, understand?"

That is, after receiving the money for selling his life, Tao Hao whispered: "Understand, heaven and earth."

"It's good to understand".

may think that Tao Hao is very righteous, Zhong Sen persuaded again: "Tao Hao, you read your book carefully, don't mess around with these things." ”

"I'm not fooling around, am I?"

It's good that he didn't mess around, Zhong Sen patted him on the shoulder, changed his smile and said, "Actually, you are very good, Changlin helped you a little favor, you can remember it for so long." ”

That's not a small favor, even if Brother Changlin receives money from others, it can't be regarded as a small favor. Tao Hao, who was familiar with himself, opened the drawer and found a single photo of Niu Changlin, an old brother dressed in camouflage standing in the sun, smiling brightly.

"Brother Sen, this photo is a souvenir for me, go and play with me if you have nothing to do."

How good is this, if a person is dead, he is dead, and he who is alive must live, the cheerful Zhong Sen pushed the little brother and scolded with a smile: "Get out, it's okay to come to me, a small business, I can't afford to lose."

"Get out, we have two more days, a total of four people, morning, noon and night, you are all covered!"

"Lost loss, lost loss".
