25. That suffocating night four years ago

Liang Ju thought that Mao Dong wanted her to take Zhang Tianliang and others to a private room.

She was nervous, staring at him tightly, her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

Mao Dong's eyes swept over her lightly, and said to a male waiter at the staircase: "You take Zhang Shao to the box, and tonight's consumption will be recorded in my account." ”

At that moment, Liang Ju felt warm in his heart.

originally thought that the matter would end like this, but Zhang Tianliang was far from being as easy to deal with as they thought.

He stalked his neck and pointed to the wound on his neck. "What should I do with this injury?"

Zhang Tianliang pointed arrogantly at his feet, "If my dad knew that I was almost strangled here today, what the would you want to do?" Phew! ”

"I sue you, don't be embarrassed!" Sha Pei didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and pointed at Zhang Tianliang angrily.

"Shar-Pei!" Mao Dongdi scolded him, turned his head sideways and ordered Zhong Ling, "Take him away." ”

"Brother!" Shapi wanted to say something unconvinced, but when he saw Mao Dong's warning eyes, he still swallowed the words in his stomach.

A-Yuan grabbed Sha Pei, who glanced at Zhang Tianliang fiercely, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Tianliang spoke again.

Liang Ju's heart trembled, for fear that he would find trouble again, so he quickly turned his head to look over.

"Let him apologize to me, and I won't care about it." Zhang Tianliang raised his chin and stared at Shar Pei with contempt.

Shar Pei was about to step forward, but fortunately he was tightly grabbed by A-Yuan's arm.

Liang Ju was anxious, and there were more guests coming and going, it was the peak period, if this really made trouble, Beixing probably didn't want to do business tonight.

She glanced at Zhong Ling, but Zhong Ling was standing in front of Sha Pei, her eyes looking at Mao Dong tightly.

Everyone present seemed to be waiting for Mao Dong's answer, maybe as long as he nodded, Sha Pei's mistake must be recognized.

Liang Ju could only see his side face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

After a long time, the man finally spoke slowly, his voice as low as a cello.

"Take Shar Pei and leave."

He really lived up to everyone's expectations.

Liang Ju thought that Zhong Ling would take Sha Pei and hurry away, however, Zhong Ling stood still and did not move.

Zhong Ling said: "I am the biggest shareholder here, and since I am the boss, I have the responsibility to apologize to the guests on behalf of my people." ”

"Sister Ling!" "Sister Ling!"

Shapea Yuan spoke in surprise.

Mao Dong looked sideways at Zhong Ling, but Zhong Ling ignored him, looked straight ahead, and took steps.

Her body was still stopped by Mao Dong, and he raised his arm to block in front of Zhong Ling.

"Let me pass." Zhong Ling said in a low voice.

"Can I let you go?" His cold features made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Yo, what's going on?" Zhang Tianliang smiled, his face was stern, "Someone must apologize to me today, otherwise, I will let people demolish Beixing!" ”

"You dare!" Even A-Yuan couldn't help but step forward.

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Liang Ju noticed that Mao Dong's feet seemed to be about to step out.

He wanted to apologize to Zhang Tianliang instead of Zhong Ling!

"Zhang Shao!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, making everyone present stunned.

To everyone's surprise, the last person to stand up was actually who

Liang Ju.

Liang Ju took a step ahead of Mao Dong, calmly moved forward, past Sha Pei, Zhong Ling, and Mao Dong, and walked in front of Zhang Tianliang.

Zhang Tianliang frowned and looked at her.

Liang Ju's expression was natural: "I made Zhang Shao unhappy tonight, Zhang Shao, I'm sorry." ”

With that, she leaned down and respectfully bowed to Zhang Tianliang at a ninety degree. "If there is any offense, please don't remember the villain, and forgive me for being ignorant."

Her sincere apology successfully made Zhang Tianliang and several brothers behind him laugh.

Mao Dong stood less than half a meter away from Liang Ju, his face was gloomy.

He didn't move, or even stood motionless, his face pale.

His gaze had already moved away from Liang Ju and stared at the wall behind Zhang Tianliang.

It's just that there is nothing unusual about him, except for the clenching of his jaw and the faint trembling muscles in his arms from the exertion.

"I said Mr. Mao, are you little beauties still very good at coming to things! Okay, for her sake, I won't pursue it! After that, Zhang Tianliang smiled and raised his hand to put his arm around Liang Ju's shoulder.

Zhong Ling only felt a flower in front of her, and when Dingqing looked at it again, Zhang Tianliang's arm had been tightly held by Mao Dong from the halfway.

Zhang Tianliang almost let out a wail, "Light, light." ”

Mao Dong held his arm, and his eyes were obviously ruthless.

"Enough is enough." He leaned close to him, his voice cold and terrifying.

Liang Ju stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.

He said, "Let her go." ”

Mao Dong's eyes were full of anger, and he was stunned to let Zhang Tianliang obediently let go.

Zhang Tianliang held his arm and wanted to refute a few words, but finally shut up.

"Take them to a private room."

Mao Dong gave an order, but Zhang Tianliang's group didn't dare to say anything.

Liang Ju apologized to them, and Zhang Tianliang tasted the sweetness and naturally gave up.

After they left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Shapi grabbed Liang Ju with an arrow step, "You are stupid, what are you bowing to him!" ”

Liang Ju quietly glanced at Mao Dong, and said happily: "Oh, isn't it just an apology and a bow, and there will be no loss of meat." It's you, it's all pinching me. ”

Shar Pei quickly let go. Her optimism made him feel distressed.

"Silly girl, you want to kill me."

"Then you can treat me to eat more delicious food!"

Ah Yuan also stepped forward slowly and said to Liang Ju hesitantly, "Thank you." ”

Zhong Ling looked at her in silence and smiled.

Mao Dong always stood in place, he did not turn back, nor did he say any thanks to Liang Ju.

Before leaving, he didn't look at Liang Ju and said, "Go back and rest early, tonight's salary will still be given to you." ”

"Am I making up for my last mistake?" Liang Ju finally said the first thing to him before he left.

She has always remembered the last time she disturbed him to talk about business and splashed his face with wine.

Mao Dong didn't say anything and left indifferently.

In the face of his indifference, Liang Ju has long been used to it.

***

Liang Ju came out of Beixing after changing his clothes, and saw Shar Pei standing under the street lamp of the bar waiting for her.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, he paced back and forth under the streetlights.

After buying ten cans of beer and a few bags of peanuts from the grocery store, Liang and Sha Pei found a random park, sat down on a chair under a big tree and started chatting.

The can pull ring was pulled open with a 'poof', Liang Ju touched it with the beer and the sand skin, and the cold beer went down to the stomach, and the person was much more sober.

"It's a tonight." Shar Pei drank half a can of beer in one gulp and ate a few more peanuts.

Liang Ju put the bag by his side, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the chair.

The autumn evening became a little cool, the moon shone round overhead, Liang Ju looked up at the sky, the endless dark sky made people wonder what the end of the day was like.

"I'm sorry for you, Orange."

"It's all buddy, what are you talking about, come on, drink!" Liang Ju never felt that the bow was so remarkable.

Shapi looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he muttered: "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Sister Ling, especially my brother, I have been willing to make him a cow and a horse all my life." ”

Liang Ju's drinking action became hesitant because of his words.

can make a five-foot man say such emotional words, Liang Ju is even more curious about Mao Dong's personality.

"Can you tell me what kind of person he is?"

In the cool night, Liang Ju sat under the tree, and the starlight in her eyes was like this twinkling star.

Shar Pei smiled and looked at her, "Ask about men, are you ashamed?" ”

"Who doesn't know who?" Liang Juman looked indifferent. "If I ask you about women, then you can't cry to death?"

Shapi laughed, and reached out to rub Liang Ju's short hair, but fortunately Liang Ju was smart and flashed in time.

Shar Pei continued to drink, and for a long time, rubbed the can in his hand, and collected the expression on his face.

"My brother, he was ruined by my hands for the rest of his life."

Liang Ju's heart tightened, smiled, and looked up at him.

Shar Pei just looked up at the starry sky, and his usual rugged appearance was rarely gentle under the light of the street lamps and starlight.

In the dark of night, only the street lamps in the park shone a faint light. A gust of cold wind blew, as if the murder case that caused a sensation four years ago was blown in front of Liang Ju's eyes

Sha Pei's original name was Li Qiang, he was bullied by many people because of his poor family background when he was not with Mao Dong, and when Mao Dong accepted him as his younger brother, he was only 16 years old, because he reported at school that Zhang Tianliang, the son of the president of a company group at that time, was fighting outside the school and was retaliated by Zhang Tianliang.

Sha Pei was young and vigorous at that time, and he blocked Zhang Tianliang at the door of the house with a kitchen knife, and he was still angry after a lesson, and finally let Zhang Tianliang learn to bark and run around the small alley, but it is conceivable that he was beaten by a group of people found by Zhang Tianliang and screamed miserably, and he still couldn't get out of bed after lying in the hospital for more than a month. That time, Sha Pei didn't die and had to thank Mao Bei, who was riding a bicycle and passed by, Mao Bei secretly called the police and called someone, so that Sha Pei was able to save his life.

Sha Pei dropped out of school and went to Mao Bei Restaurant to do chores when he had nothing to do at home, and later Mao Dong heard about Sha Pei, so he secretly beat Zhang Tianliang in a sack with Sha Pei, but this matter was also done behind Mao Bei's back. It was Mao Bei who saved Sha Pei, and Sha Pei recognized Mao Bei as his brother in order to thank him, and over time, his relationship with Mao Dong and Mao Bei brothers became deeper and deeper.

In the year of Mao Bei's accident, Sha Pei was sheltering from Mao Dong outside, and when he learned that Mao Bei had an accident, he almost collapsed, and then squatted in front of Mao Bei's tombstone for three days and three nights, and no one knew how many tears he shed.

"I didn't expect that black face to be so righteous." Liang Ju was addicted to listening, and from time to time he expressed his feelings.

"You say my brother?"

Liang Ju bowed his head, "Yes, you see him, he is so cold to me tonight." ”

"My brother was much more interesting when he was a child than he is now, he didn't learn anything, he thought about how to get rid of his eldest brother's rigid theories all day long, and he took us to cause trouble in private." Shar Pei couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she thought back to her childhood.

"Once we went to steal a bicycle, I was at the door to the wind, my brother stole inside, I didn't expect my eldest brother, it's Mao Bei, I used to call him eldest brother, I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in the alley, blocking me and my brother, we ran away, my brother said he was his own brother while running, big brother didn't dare to fight, just let me run first, hehe" Speaking of this, Sha Pei smiled and took a sip of the wine in his hand.

"I was also stupid at the time, it was my own brother who dared to do it, how embarrassed outsiders were to beat it, but my brother was dragged back by my eldest brother and locked in the house and beaten for more than half an hour, and the broom was broken."

"And then? Mao Dong is injured? ”

Shar Pei glanced at Liang Ju with a 'Are you kidding' look.

"How could my brother get injured so easily, but he lay in bed for three days, he deliberately pretended to be strict, so that he had an excuse not to go to school."

Liang Ju laughed, "It turns out that Heimian was still a bad student when he was a child!" ”

Shar Pei chuckled.

Liang Ju looked at Sha Pei, pondered for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Then how did your eldest brother die?" ”

The can in his hand was pinched and deformed with a 'click', and Shar Pei buried his head in his lap and held his head in both hands.

His sudden sadness made Liang Ju unbearable to continue asking.

"Brother Shape, forget it, let's not mention it."

"Brother Mao Bei" Shapi's voice was obviously choked, "He's a good person." It's all me, it's me who hurt him. ”

―――

The '1221' Qihai City Murder Case was a well-known case in the whole country that year, and Shar Pei still remembers it vividly.

At that time, Shar Pei had dropped out of school and worked in a small restaurant in Maobei.

One night a few days before the accident, there were not many customers in the store, and he was chatting with Mao Bei in the kitchen while washing dishes. Suddenly, he heard a noise and abuse in the restaurant in front of him, Sha Pei was shocked, and he didn't have time to wipe his hands when he threw down the bowl, so he ran out with Mao Bei.

A couple of thug-like men were pointing at a little waiter who was swearing and swearing, and the waiter lowered his head and tears rolled in his eyes. "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm going to change it for you, can you see it?"

"Fuck you! So dirty, let's eat it! ”

Those people were arrogant and domineering, Sha Pei was in a hurry, and he stretched out his hand to pull the waiter behind him, "What are you doing, you want to make trouble!" ”

"What's the trouble!"

Those people were more arrogant than the other, and their hands were about to touch Sha's nose, Mao Bei saw this, and hurriedly went up to pull a few people away.

"I'm the boss here, I'm all discouraged, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"

The red-haired thug had a toothpick in his mouth, glanced at Mao Bei, and picked up a plate of dishes on the table beside him.

"My big brother has flies in this dish!"

"Flies? Customer, where will there be flies in this winter? ”

The man who had been sitting in the corner of the restaurant and had been silent suddenly spoke.

"I said yes, there was."

The first time Shar Pei saw the man, he felt that the man's aura was very powerful, and the eyes of the people were gloomy.

The man had dyed white hair and wore a shiny stud ear on his ear.

Mao Bei leaned down and wanted to take a closer look at the dish, but as soon as he bent down, he was pushed away by the thugs, "Why, you still don't believe what my boss said!" ”

Mao Bei took a big step back and almost hit the table behind him, but fortunately he was held up by Shar Pei in time.

Seeing that Mao Bei was at a loss, Sha Pei was anxious and pointed at the man, "Who the are you pushing!" ”

Shar Pei slapped the red-haired man in the face, and his companion reached out and flipped the table over! "I'm cāo, awesome!"

There was a thud of plates falling to the ground, and the other customers in the restaurant were already scared away, and some waiters were also so frightened that they stood in the corner and did not dare to move.

The white-haired man got up from his chair, he was not tall and thin, and Shar Pei didn't take him seriously at all.

It's just that when he approached Sha'Pei's side, Sha'r Pei couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Smash."

He just spat out a single word and explained everything that happened next.

One person picked up the wine bottle on the ground and smashed it on Sha's head, Sha-Pei dodged one but not the second, and when there was a 'clang', the glass shards fell to the ground.

Beer mixed with blood, flowing down Sha's head, Sha's eyes were red, and he didn't care about 3721 to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Mao Bei didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly turned around and hugged Shar Pei from behind, never thinking that the white-haired man picked up the chair and smashed it on his back, and Sha Pei could even hear the sound of bones breaking.

Mao Bei fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time, Sha Pei lost his mind, rushed into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife and slashed at those gangsters.

In the battle, I was afraid that Shar Pei would not die, and in the end, it was that person who hit Shar Pei to the ground with a hard barb fist, and he was several times stronger than him.

The man squatted down and patted Shapi's face, "Sue Mao Dong, don't let him be so arrogant." ”

Shar Pei lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and he watched them drop their bottles and walk out of the restaurant one by one.

Later, Mao Bei lay on the hospital bed, thinking that those people were here to ask for money, so he said: "I knew that I would give some money and send it away." ”

At that time, Mao Dong sat gloomily on the chair next to his hospital bed and did not speak.

He asked Shar Pei about the looks of several people, and Shar Pei knew that he must be trying to get revenge, so he volunteered: "One of them is called Bai Si, and he is on the street, and I have inquired with others. ”

That night, Sha Pei followed Mao Dong and Ah Yuan to the street to take revenge.

There are many people on the other side, and Ming Shang will definitely not be able to beat him, so Mao Dong squatted at the intersection of the street corner with Shapi and Ayuan.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that they saw Bai Si drunkenly getting out of a car with a woman in his arms.

Without saying a word, Mao Dong took advantage of the fact that there was no one at the crossroads at night, so he dragged Bai Si into the alley with a sack and beat him wildly.

The woman beside him was also blindfolded by Ah Yuan and pressed to the corner of the wall.

Bai Si used a chair to hurt Mao Bei's back, and Mao Dong broke one of his legs with an iron rod.

To this day, Shar Pei remembers that voice.

It was the muffled sound of iron rods hitting bones, bones shattering.

The muffled voice is creepy.

Shapi recalled this paragraph and also sighed, "That was the first time, I saw blood in Mao Dong's eyes. ”

Afterwards, Shapi learned that Bai Si was a well-known local family business, and that person had already told the public that he wanted to solve Mao Dong.

Mao Bei was afraid that something would happen to Mao Dong, so he asked Sha Pei to accompany him to his aunt's house in Harbin to hide, of course Mao Dong refused, he was also afraid that Mao Bei would be retaliated against if he stayed in the restaurant, but Mao Bei said: "I didn't beat people, it's a big deal, give me some money." ”

At that time, Mao Dong and Mao Bei didn't understand, and some things had nothing to do with money.

―――

"In this way, I accompanied my brother to the train station early the next morning to buy the earliest train ticket to Harbin that day."

That day was December 21, 2013.

Having already guessed what would happen next, Liang Ju's heart seemed to be suddenly held by someone, and she was a little out of breath.

Shar Pei threw away the empty can in his hand with a 'click' sound, and a tear actually condensed in the corner of his eye.

"My eldest brother had an accident and only heard about it on the radio, when my brother and I had just gotten off the train and heard the news in the taxi."

He held his head and grabbed his hair tightly, and Liang Ju could even hear the sound of whimpering in his heart.

Shar Pei will never forget the expression on Mao Dong's face after hearing the news, which was a bone-digging pain and remorse.

"When we came back, it was already a few days later, the eldest brother was locked up at home by her aunt and was not allowed to return to Qihai, and Brother Mao Bei's body was still recognized by the eldest brother and aunt with Sister Ling and Ah Yuan. They didn't want my brother to see Brother Mao Bei's final death, so they quietly cremated him. ”

It is said that it is miserable.

Mao Bei couldn't find a complete place on his body, he was hacked to death with a knife, and his death was desolate.

Shapi buried his head in his two hands, and Liang Ju gritted his teeth.

Another gust of wind blew out, blowing out the tears in Liang Ju's eyes.

She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"If it weren't for my rashness at the beginning, my eldest brother wouldn't have died for us"

In the autumn night, with a cool breeze, Liang Ju seemed to see all the things that happened that year, saw Mao Dong's sadness, and deeply felt Sha Pei's mood at this time.

"Haven't the murderers been brought to justice?" In such a tragic case, the murderer will not go unpunished.

"Caught, it's a man named Tiger. But what is the use, he confessed all his sins. Shar Pei looked up for a moment, his eyes frighteningly red.

The brothers Tiger and Maobei Maodong have no grievances, he just accepts other people's money and does things for others.

And the people behind the scenes are still at large.

Shapi said: "I'm not only sorry for my brother, but also for Sister Ling. She was already preparing to get married with her eldest brother in the spring of the second year, but the matter of the eldest brother" He took a deep breath and said: "Since then, my brother has been taking care of Sister Ling, not letting her suffer a little more, in order to make Sister Ling live a good life, my brother once went to the south to work alone for more than half a year, and when he came back after earning money, he opened a small bar, a little bit, to become the current North Star." ”

Liang Ju still wanted to reach for the beer, but unfortunately the last bottle had been opened by Shar Pei and held in his hand.

She was a cheerful person, and she took it from his hand and took a sip of it, and then returned it to Shar Pei's hand.

Seeing Liang Ju's behavior, Shapi rubbed her head with a smile and a doting expression, "Dare to grab wine and drink with my brother." ”

Liang Ju wiped his mouth, but decided to ask Shapi, "I heard that Beixing is going to be sold?" ”

Shar Pei withdrew his hand, his expression became stern again, and he nodded and said, "It's not that I want to, it may have been." ”

"Why? Since it is so difficult for Mao Dong to open the North Star, why do you want to sell it? ”

Sha Pei stared at Liang Ju sideways, and it was not until Liang Ju looked a little unnatural that he said quietly: "Do you know who the North Star was opened for?" ”

Liang Ju shook his head.

"It's for Sister Ling. North Star, a star in the sky, is to commemorate Brother Mao Bei, hoping that he can see Sister Ling's current appearance and rest in peace. ”

Liang Ju couldn't describe what it felt like, his heart was sour and a little bitter.

"Didn't I tell you that my brother went to the south some time ago, there was an accident in the business in the south, and there were a lot of losses, and Sister Ling sold Beixing just to pay back my brother."

"Na Mao Dong"

"My brother said that he would rather go bankrupt and go back to work as a migrant worker than ask Sister Ling for a penny from selling Beixing."

Liang Ju was speechless for a while.

Zhong Ling can pay so much for Mao Dong, but what about her?

She was sure that Zhong Ling also loved Mao Dong, although this kind of liking was mixed with a lot of disapproval, but Zhong Ling's deep affection for feelings made Liang Ju have the urge to regress.
