Outside the window, the snow is boundless, dancing with the wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Shen Qingshan was in the house, he was also wrapped in a heavy military coat. He clutched the telephone receiver tightly, and the deep lines between his eyebrows were twisted like a knife, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spit out a cloud of mist: "Gangzi." ”

The other end of the phone asked directly: "Brother Shen, is there something?" ”

"You ......" The corners of Shen Qingshan's eyes twitched, as if he had made a great determination: "Do you have a lot of money?" ”

"What's wrong? Brother, don't go around in circles with me, if you have something to say, who is with whom is our brother? "Through the phone, you can feel the depth of the other party's affection.

Shen Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said movingly: "Something happened to your sister-in-law, uremia." ”

Two months ago, I went out to buy groceries, and my eyes fell into the snow with black eyes. Thanks to the street sweeper's call for 120, he was not frozen to death in the ice and snow. Afterwards, his wife cried and said that it was better to freeze to death!

The cost of treatment is more than 2,000 a month, and I have to undergo dialysis every week, which is a bottomless pit of swallowing money. In the north in the nineties, such a large amount of expenditure was astronomical for ordinary people.

After staying up for two months, Shen Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore. The family was wiped out, and relatives and friends borrowed it again, and they were really embarrassed to open it twice, so they dared to call this brother with the most iron relationship.

The other end of the phone said a serious "um", indicating that he was listening, and when he finished speaking, he said, "Brother, we are brothers in a pair of pants." When my father was mourned, I didn't have any sons, so it was all up to you to give Zhang Luo. ”

Shen Qingshan didn't say anything, and the breath that had just been relieved came up again.

There was a pause on the phone, and there was a metallic tone with electricity: "Brother, it stands to reason that I owe you a favor, and I have to pay it back if I break my bones." He sniffled and suddenly cried: "Brother, my daughter-in-law didn't know where to make the weasel lose her mind, and went to the south with her second brother to make the 'old Japanese', and she lost all her losses!" ”

"My mother's heart also beats day by day, and if she doesn't stent it, it's over......"

"Alright." Shen Qingshan interrupted him: "Brother understands, don't go to your heart, take the time to come to my house, let's have a few drinks." ”

The receiver smashed into the phone and hung up.

Shen Qingshan's eyes turned to the window, and the plastic cloth covered the window pane for heat preservation. The chaotic snow curtain made the heavens and the earth pale and cold, and it was as cold as a knife.

"Dad, I'm out of school."

The door opened, the wind blew the snow, and a little boy followed.

Shen Qingshan's son, 8 years old, is in the second grade.

"And he doesn't wear a hat." Shen Qingshan hurriedly went over and slapped the snow slag on his son's body, for fear that it would turn into snow water and freeze the child.

"It's okay, I'm not cold." The son raised his head, his eyes clear, as pure as a diamond. He wiped his nose and asked, "Dad, why haven't you paid the tuition yet?" I was the only one left in the class, and the teacher talked to me every day. ”

Shen Qingshan avoided his son's gaze and said casually: "Deliver, this is handover." ”

He wiped his son's face, put away his school bag, and changed into a sweater. He advised: "The rice is in the pot, you eat it yourself." After eating, do your homework, and Dad goes out. ”

He was just about to leave, but he stopped again and threw a few pieces of crushed coal into the furnace. He can resist, but he can't let his son freeze.

"Dad, where are you going?" The son poked his head out of the kitchen, said with a bitter face, "Come back early, it's too cold outside, go out and suffer." ”

"Got it, Dad is going to bring food to your Mom."

Shen Qingshan tightened his military coat and pushed the door out.

In the winter in the north, the sun is very short, only after five o'clock, and the sky is already dark.

Shen Qingshan was one foot deep and one foot shallow, he hadn't swept the yard for two months, and the snow was piled up. A cold wind poured into his neck, causing pimples all over his body, and he couldn't help but tighten his collar.

There was a small store at the mouth of the alley, hesitated for a long time, reached out and knocked on the window: "Auntie, I'll page." ”

"Xiao Shen, let's fight."

A withered hand that had been turned into chicken feet by the cold handed out a telephone.

Shen Qingshan gasped twice and dialed the paging platform.

Message:

"Yang Dadong Dog Meat Restaurant at half past five, I have something to do with you, Shen."

……

The greasy black door curtain was opened, and Shen Qingshan walked into the dog meat restaurant, facing the fishy commotion and hot spicy eyes. He found a table by the stove.

"Big brother, what's the hour?"

As soon as I sat down, the waiter came over and asked.

Shen Qingshan lowered his head and said in an embarrassed tone: "Wait a minute, there are still people." ”

"Done."

The waiter answered and turned to leave.

He sat there and drank two glasses of hot water, baked the stove for 10 minutes, and his body warmed up. The clock on the wall came to half past five, not more than a minute, not less than a second.

The curtain opened, and a tall man in a leather jacket entered.

The man slapped off the snow foam at the door, went straight to Shen Qingshan and sat down, and asked with a smile, "What?" The sun is coming out in the west, can you take the initiative to find me? ”

He was comrade-in-arms with Shen Qingshan, but later took the wrong path. Legal, don't do it, illegal it, do it all.

Shen Qingshan had never looked down at him, but at this time, he didn't even dare to look at him, and muttered, "I need money." ”

The man laughed: "I need money too, who doesn't need money?" ”

He was teasing Shen Qingshan, like a child.

Shen Qingshan clenched his teeth and suddenly raised his head: "I need money, help me." ”

Before the words fell, he added: "Please." ”

The man's face changed, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "How much?" ”

"Fifty thousand!" Shen Qingshan lowered his head again.

"Fifty thousand?" He didn't seem to believe it.

"Fifty thousand!" Shen Qingshan was afraid that he would not believe it.

In that era, those with assets of more than 10,000 yuan were called "10,000 yuan households" by the United States, and he asked for five "10,000 yuan households" at once!

"Really?" The man leaned forward, a sneer tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Shen Qingshan nodded, word by word: "I really want to!" ”

"Okay, are you bold enough?" He asked playfully.

Shen Qingshan sighed and replied, "Who am I, you don't know?" ”

He snorted and slowly sat back in his chair. Of course he knew that Shen Qingshan once dared to chase the "****" spy on the grassland with a bayonet, and chased him for two whole days!

The man retracted his expression and regained his composure: "Understand the court. Fresh words? ”

"I can speak, but I can't write." When Shen Qingshan was a child, his neighbors lived in two houses. Xianren, playing with the children of those two families until they grew up, learned a lot of daily language.

The man took out an envelope and pushed it in front of Shen Qingshan: "This is someone else's work, for the sake of my comrades-in-arms, take care of you." ”

Shen Qingshan opened the envelope, it was an address, and a photo.

The address is South Korea, and the photo is a man.

The man said, "Kill him and bring back a finger." 50,000 yuan, it's yours. ”

China, Japan, and South Korea are all within a strip of water. Black and white snobbery compete for the game, shouting gangs and big parties. Progress inevitably kills, and in order to avoid igniting fire, they will go to neighboring countries to hire killers.

At that time, factors such as education, ideology, wealth and poverty led to China being a major exporter of "talents".

Get up and walk out the door. At the end, he tilted his head and said, "Go to the Erdao Street Wholesale Market tomorrow and find Wang Huoyazi, and he will help you arrange the way." If you don't go, you will burn the things and never look at them again. ”

……

The disinfectant water smells like catkins and hair, desperately drilling into people's noses.

Shen Qingshan sat on the edge of the bed, scooped out a spoonful of broth from the thermos bucket, and carefully brought it to his wife's mouth.

His wife was beautiful when she was young, and to tell the truth, she is not old now, and she is in her prime. But the disease tortured her to the point of a dying man with a skinny and yellow spotted face.

Nutrition can't keep up, and medicine can't keep up.

Shen Qingshan looked at his wife's sunken eye sockets, his throat was sore and itchy, and he said for a long time: "I'm sorry to marry me, a man who has no interest." ”

His wife took a sip of the soup and straightened her neck, as if she had said something, but she didn't seem to say anything. The breath was weak and his voice was small, and Shen Qingshan couldn't hear a word.

"Don't talk."

Shen Qingshan smoothed his wife's scorched yellow hair and patted it lightly on his forehead.

Cold, like a dead man.

I only drank two sips of half a bowl of dog broth, and I couldn't drink it anymore.

Shen Qingshan comforted her, held her hand and said, "Wife, I may have to go out for a few days." Don't worry, it's okay, I'll be back in a week at the latest. ”

He saw his wife's eyes reddening and understood what she meant: "My son is at Uncle Shi's house, and I said hello to him." You put your heart in your stomach, and I've got you covered. ”

Before leaving, his wife grabbed his hand tightly, he didn't expect a terminally ill woman to have so much strength. His wife was crying, tears streaming down her face, as if she was saying something again, and he couldn't hear it, not a word.

But he understood her expression, it was a farewell expression!

Shen Qingshan drank too much for the first time, he almost forgot the taste of the wine, and only remembered its goodness after more than ten years.

The snow was like a scalpel, slitting his cheek and turning into tears. The road was slippery in the cold weather, and he twisted his hand, couldn't control the handlebars, and fell into the roadside gutter. The ditch froze, hard and sharp, and it hurt his whole body, and stars appeared in front of him.

Erba bicycles are in the middle of the road, the night is getting darker and darker, and the snowflakes are big and small.

"Forget it......"

Shen Qingshan struggled for a long time, and then fell back heavily. He didn't move, looked up at the night sky, and let the snow blow on his face: "My wife didn't freeze to death, freeze me to death." ”

He was emaciated, physically and mentally exhausted, and he really couldn't resist.

A large face peeked out from under the orange street lamp, full of red hair, and wearing an ear bag.

He smiled at Shen Qingshan: "Big brother, what's wrong?" Drink too much? You can't sleep here, you will freeze to death in a while. ”

After finishing speaking, he reached the middle of the road, picked up Shen Qingshan's bicycle, pedaled two steps, and rode away.

"!!"

Shen Qingshan jumped up, and he had another reason to live......
