One

The first time Lu Baoliang fell in love with a girl was in the auditorium of the Jianning City Public Security School, Baoliang couldn't remember what kind of festival it was, the Public Security School invited the City Acrobatic Troupe to perform the program, and Baoliang sat on a small bench by the side curtain, and could see the whole stage clearly.

This is the first time Bao Liang watched live acrobatics, the whole performance impressed him the most is a girl in black, the girl is handsome and powerful, not only flipping and moving as easy, but also where the finger goes, where there will be a roaring spark, open the bright red lips, the mouth can also spew a raging flame, so that Bao Liang to see the blood boiling, shocking.

That day, for the first time, Bao Liang couldn't sleep at night for a person of the opposite sex. The fire-breathing girl always had a smile in her eyes and a sweet expression that lingered in front of him, and although he could no longer describe her face, or even forgot her age, the girl became the most perfect woman in his mind. Before that, Bao Liang's concept of a woman was just his mother and sister.

Bao Liang was nine years old that year.

When Baoliang's mother was young, she must have been a standard beauty.

Mother is not only beautiful, but also, is a most feminine woman.

Bao Liang's sister is seven years older than Bao Liang, and when Bao Liang is nine years old, his sister is exactly twenty-eight years old, which is the best age for women in traditional Chinese aesthetics. My sister is as beautiful as her mother, but her personality is rigid but not soft, which obviously follows her father.

In Bao Liang's view, mother and father are diametrically opposed from the inside out. The mother was thin but healthy, and the father was strong but sickly; The mother is nagging but can endure everything, but the father is silent but impatient; On the surface, the mother always wants her sister to let her younger brother, but in fact, she is the most intimate with her sister in private, and the father takes care of her daughter everywhere, but secretly pins the hope of her life on her son.

His parents may not know what he wants, he admires his father and relies on his mother, but the closest one is his sister, who is seven years older than him and can play with him. My sister's eyebrows and eyes resemble her mother, but her personality follows her father, while Baoliang seems to have picked it up from the street, no matter how she looks or her temper, she doesn't follow her father or her mother.

Bao Liang's dependence on his mother was only a passive habit, while his worship and imitation of his father was entirely conscious. He was even like his father, when he was ten years old, he kowtowed to his best classmates Liu Cunliang and Li Chen, and called himself Jianning Sanxiong. He told Li Chen Liu Cunliang that his father, like him, also played a Taoyuan rebellion when he was ten years old, and like him, he ranked third in that uprising. Among the three people whose father married as a teenager, the eldest followed his parents to settle abroad without graduating from middle school, and has not been heard from since; The second brother grew up and went to the sea to do business, and he is still in love with his father, and the second brother and third brother of each other call each other, and the two families have always been close to each other.

From the time Bao Liang remembered, he often followed his father to his second uncle's house. The second uncle's surname is Quan, and the second uncle's son Quan Hu is also called the third uncle of Baoliang's father. The neighbors of both families have always thought that they are relatives. The second uncle and Quan Hu also often came to his house, as soon as Quan Hu came, he took Baoliang and his sister out to play, and the second uncle drank and talked with his father in the house. At that time, the second uncle always came to ask Baoliang's father to help him with his errands, because Baoliang's father was the captain of the criminal investigation brigade of the Public Security Bureau, and he had many connections and privileges, and he helped the second uncle to pave a lot of ways in those years. Once, the godson Quan Sangun, who was adopted by the second uncle since childhood, was arrested by the police station for a fight with his classmates, and his father went to bail him out. A year later, Quan Sangun fought with hooligans on the street again, and went to the public security bureau again, not to mention, and let the school be expelled in anger, and the second uncle also came to find his father, begging his father to fish out his uncompetitive godson again. The father moved around, and the second uncle also stuffed money into the family of the victim who was injured by Quan's three shots, and the original case of re-education through labor was changed to 15 days of detention and a fine of 2,000 yuan, and Quan Sangun came out of the bureau again. It was on the way out of the gun that his father had a car accident, and a small piece of skin was broken on the head of the gun of the gun, but his father became a cripple from then on.

At the age of eleven, his father, whom he had always regarded as a hero and whom he had worshiped with all his heart, became a cripple.

The father who became lame suddenly grew old, and Bao Liang realized that a person's two legs are the pillars of a person, and once one is missing, the whole person will become crooked. After the disability, the father was like a strong cow that had been dried in the air, quickly becoming emaciated and sick. High blood sugar is detected today, high blood pressure is detected tomorrow, and the heart rate is wrong again the day after tomorrow...... It's a bit of a wall falling down and everyone pushing it. The job has also changed, and it seems a bit out of place for a cripple to rely on a team like the Criminal Investigation Brigade to rush and kill. I don't know if it was because his father used to be a part-time teacher in a public security school, so his superiors transferred him to a public security school. However, my father used to teach part-time in free fighting and grappling fighting, and this kind of class must not be able to be taught by a lame person, so the school gave him the title of vice principal, and then served as an administrative section chief. Compared with the previous position of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, it is said that it has been promoted by half a level.

Being a police officer engaged in criminal investigation is the ideal desire of my father's life, and it suddenly fell at the peak of his career, and it is not difficult to imagine the blow to my father. Although he still wears the same police uniform, what he does every day has become a trivial life such as pots and pans. The administrative department is in charge of nothing more than greening, canteens, tables, chairs and benches, and three bags in front of the door...... The father, who was originally silent, became even more silent, and when he returned home, his temper became even more irritable, or he didn't speak for a day, and when he opened his mouth, he either complained about his mother or scolded his sister or slapped Baoliang's ass, which made the whole family fearful.

Only his sister dared to talk back to him.

After all, my sister is older, and she is a girl, and her father will not beat her if she talks back.

But his father always beats Bao Liang, especially when Bao Liang's academic performance fluctuates, or when Bao Liang is picky and playful and refuses to endure hardships, he will not only be spanked, but also slapped when he is anxious. When he beat Baoliang, his mother and sister couldn't persuade him, and if he persuaded him, he beat him even harder. After the beating, he would call Bao Liang to his bedroom alone, close the door, and then cry at Bao Liang with tears in his eyes. When Bao Liang first saw his father crying at him, he was very disappointed, because he could no longer find a trace of a hero on his father's crying face, and the spirit that he had always admired and quietly imitated had been eroded and swallowed up by that passionless work, and gradually disappeared in his father's demeanor and expression.

Eleven-year-old Bao Liang suddenly took pity on his father. In his heart, his father gradually ceased to be a hero, but a weak man who needed sympathy and pity. When his father cried and confided in him his life ideals and hopes for Bao Liang every time he beat Bao Liang, it was out of such compassion that Bao Liang swore to his father that he would study hard from now on, and no longer be greedy for fun, and he must be admitted to the public security school, even the provincial public security college, and even the public security university in Beijing, so that the son will inherit his father's business and become the best Chinese criminal policeman, and complete his father's unfinished life aspirations and family ideals.

Whenever this happens, my father will feel very relieved, and he will ask Bao Liang: Do you hate Dad beating you? Bao Liang shook his head as usual: No hate. The father nodded and said, "Look, my father never beats my sister, my sister is a girl, and when she grows up, she marries a man, and when she gives birth to a child, she also gives birth to others." Whether our Lu family has face in the future depends on you. Uncle Xiao also said yesterday, Lao Lu, what are you afraid of, you train your son well, and he will come to work in the criminal investigation team, and he must be no worse than you. Uncle Xiao is about to become the deputy director, and if my leg doesn't have an accident, it won't be his turn.

Since then, Bao Liang has officially determined his life goals, and the children who have set their life goals at the age of eleven have not yet seen them, at least among the friends around Bao Liang. Among Baoliang's classmates, many of them vowed to be astronauts today and general managers tomorrow. After Bao Liang's sister graduated from middle school and was admitted to Jianning Normal College, she was still confused when it came to the future. The Teachers College is dedicated to training middle school teachers, and the middle school teacher sister must not be a teacher. What can you do if you are not a teacher, and my sister has no established opinions. Quan Hu suggested that she go to Beijing to apply for the Drama Academy or Film Academy, and said Lu Baozhen, why are you so beautiful, waste this resource? Quan Hu is only two years older than his sister, and he automatically dropped out of college halfway through, because for Quan Hu, there is no worry about the future of his career, and the second uncle's company has suddenly become bigger in the past two years, and has opened real estate projects in Jianning and other provinces, and also built a super large restaurant in the best area of Jianning, named "Million Mansion", which was famous in the city at that time. The second uncle made Quan Hu the executive manager of the million-dollar mansion, and even Quan Sangun, who was always brave and ruthless in the past and picked quarrels and provoked trouble on the street, also wore a straight suit and did the right thing for his godfather.

Mother usually sighs: The second uncle's fortune depends on his name, and the second uncle's name is power, and now he really has power because he is rich. After the second uncle gained fame, the life of the Baoliang family also improved. Bao Liang's father helped the Quan family so much in the past, not to mention that the second uncle swore to share the blessings when he married him. The second uncle is really blessed now, and naturally he does not forget to repay the third brother's family. The money sent by Baoliang's father was determined not to accept it for face, and the gifts were endless-the schoolbag that Baoliang carried to school, the fountain pen he used, the coat that Baoliang's sister wore, and the mobile phone he used were all famous brands, and even the knife that Baoliang's mother used to cut apples was imported from Switzerland.

Erbo's company is like a steamed bun with raw noodles, and the rapid expansion is like a big magic. The second uncle's business is busy, and the number of visits to Baoliang's house is naturally less. Occasionally, he also persuaded Baoliang's father to quit the public security school, a petty official who was unwelcome, and followed him to the business world and live a happy life. Baoliang's father is the most face-saving person, and after the outbreak of Baoliang's second uncle, he rarely visits again. The second uncle persuaded him to resign and go to the sea, so he clasped his fists and said thank you, there are too many things in the unit to leave. The second uncle smiled and said: I really can't bear to wear this police uniform? If you take it off now, you can let Baoliang wear it in the future. Let's talk about it, you go to the sea with me, if Baoliang is admitted to the Public Security University in the future, I will be the second uncle's full cover of tuition. Our brothers have to have someone on the shore in the water, the two of us wear suits and run around, let the children wear official clothes and drive police cars, this year to do business, we must be like this amphibious!

Bao Liang's father also smiled and said: Yes, Bao Liang will follow me, that is, he will serve the country as a policeman, and he will not want anything else.

On Baoliang's thirteenth birthday, the second uncle did not come, but asked Quan Hu and Quan Sangun to send a birthday cake and a box of chocolate candy imported from abroad. Quan Hu also gave his sister a new Nokia mobile phone. He also asked Baoliang's family to go to their family's million-dollar mansion restaurant to hold a birthday dinner. When Uncle Xiao from the criminal police team came out at night, his father asked his mother to take Bao Liang and his sister in a three-shot car first, and he and Uncle Xiao stayed at home to talk about something. When Bao Liang went out and turned back to get his hat, through the crack in the half-open door of his father's room, he saw that his father was talking to his uncle in a whisper, and Bao Liang had not seen such a ** expression on his father's face for a long time.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the long-lost ** on his father's face that Bao Liang felt a strange mystery, which made him always restless at that lively and pompous birthday dinner. When the cake was about to be cut, the father arrived, and the second uncle rushed over after finishing another party meeting, and still enlightened his father: "Is the unit looking for you again?" Listen to me and resign, and don't follow me to do more or less. ”

The father is the same, and he still bows his hand, but the words he said are refreshing to everyone: "Aren't you ashamed that I went to your company like this?" ”

The second uncle laughed: "The son is not ugly, the son is not poor, you are my third brother, what do I dislike you!" Besides, your leg is because of my family's three shots, do I think you're still human! ”

The father did not laugh and said, "I went to sea, and you are not afraid that I will overturn your ship?" ”

The second uncle laughed again, and after laughing, he touched his father's lame leg with his hand in front of so many juniors: "It's okay, my boat is big, just your legs and feet, I'm afraid you have this heart and don't have this strength!" ”

Everyone laughed, and when they laughed, I am afraid that no one expected that my father would really resign from the public security school a few days later, and limp into the building that had just been built by the Million Economic and Trade Company.

His father's resignation gave Baoliang a new sense of loss, and he talked about it with his eldest brother Li Chen and second brother Liu Cunliang, and the three brothers all regretted it in unison. In the hearts of his two brothers, Bao Liang has always been regarded as a police man, and even if Bao Liang's father was transferred to the police academy due to disability, he was still regarded by them as a lame detective. Now that my father suddenly took off his police uniform and became a flat-headed commoner, not only Baoliang himself, but even Li Chen and Liu Cunliang are a little unaccustomed to it.

That day, the three of them said that they were going to the Internet café to surf the Internet, but this news made Baoliang depressed, and Li Chen and Liu Cunliang lost their fun. They sighed in a ruined brick kiln on the hill at the back door of Baoliang's house, looking dejectedly to their confused future. The hill leads to the back door alley of Bao Liang's house, which is rarely frequented by people, so it has become a stronghold for the three of them to meet closely. They often talk about the world here, and after talking about Jordan and Saddam, they also have to talk about the girls in the school for a while, and make an ineffective distribution between the three of them for good-looking girls, just to get over the addiction for a while.

But when it comes to girls, Bao Liang becomes absent-minded that day. He had a crush on a fire-breathing girl since he was nine years old, and it was only today that he realized that the opposite sex was dispensable to him, and his father's premature face and earnest hopes for him were a mountain that weighed on his heart. And it didn't take long for Bao Liang to discover that every time his father changed jobs, his personality changed somewhat, not for the better, but for the worse. My father has become more silent since he went to the second uncle's company, and often sits alone in the bedroom, and does not say a word all night, so that my mother and Baoliang sisters and brothers are all silent in their own house, and they all speak cautiously, like whispers.

Bao Liang is young and still ignorant of everything in the outside world, but he always has a faint feeling that something bad is about to happen.

On the night of his father's resignation, Bora dreamed of the fire-breathing girl. The girl stared at him affectionately, her eyebrows still full of heroism. Hora plucked up the courage to get close to him, but no, as soon as he got closer, the girl spat fireballs from her mouth, causing Hora to stop dodging. They followed each other, and if they were still far away, they walked far away, and they actually entered Bao Liang's house. The girl suddenly became Bao Liang's sister, and the sister could actually breathe flames from her mouth. Bao Liang shouted in horror as he saw his sister spew a ball of fire at his father, who was shrouded in red flames and roared to the sky! Bao Liang heard his mother's cry in the nightmare, and his sister was so miserable that she burst into tears. Baoliang also cried, but he couldn't cry and could only howl desperately in vain.

When he woke up in the morning, he found that he was not only sweating and wetting his pillows, but also exhausted. The first thing he did when he got out of bed was to run to his sister's room to see her. My sister was combing her hair, smiling and ruddy, and when she saw him come in, she asked: Baoliang, why are you so pale, are you sick? My sister touched Baoliang's forehead with her hand, said that it was not hot, and said, why is it all sweat, why don't you go and wash your face quickly!

Bao Liang went to wash his face.

At breakfast, he secretly looked at his father, who was drinking porridge with a straight face, which was not much different from the past. Bao Liang's palpitations gradually subsided, and he thought that fortunately the dream was fake.

After eating, my father went to work in the second uncle's company. Bao Liang and his sister also left home to go to school together. Bao Liang's mother used to be a teacher in the kindergarten of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but her father resigned after her leg was disabled to take care of her husband and young son. Baoliang's sister goes to college, and housework definitely can't be pointed to her.

Bao Liang had heard her sister say that her mother was also the eldest lady in a rich family before she married her father.

When my sister was a child, she went back to her grandmother's house in another province with her mother, and her impression was already blurred. It is said that his mother's dowry included a lot of expensive jewelry, which was sold in order to raise his sister and Bao Liang, and later to treat his father's illness, leaving only a pair of white gold earrings untouched. The hoop of the pair of earrings is also inlaid with a real diamond, and you can see that it is a valuable thing at a glance. The mother is only willing to take it out and wear it during the New Year's holidays, and she usually puts it in the cabinet and does not move the child.

Bao Liang's grandparents, as well as grandparents, Bao Liang has never seen them. Except for the second uncle, Bao Liang didn't know what other relatives his family had.

Baoliang's family lives on the edge of the Jianhe River in the west of Jianning City, although the house is a little old, but the front and back are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is beautiful. The house was divided by the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Baoliang's parents both worked in the Municipal Bureau, and they did not take the initiative to build a new dormitory, so the usable area of the courtyard assigned to them was obviously larger than that of a cadre at the level of his father. Baoliang's mother is a diligent woman, and after becoming a full-time wife and full-time mother, she keeps the house spotless. Even the second uncle, who has lived more and more advanced in the past two years, came and praised him again and again, saying that the third brother, your small family is really comfortable, and it is really better to have a good wife than a family. Father said: How can I compare with your mansion? The second uncle said: Living in my house is like living in a hotel, and living in your yard is like going home, and it has the taste of home. Bao Liang felt that the second uncle's words were really telling the truth, he had been to the second uncle's house, and he felt restrained wherever he sits, but when he returned to his own house, every corner was relaxing. The only thing Bao Liang was dissatisfied with was the alley at the front door of his house, which was a little too narrow, and the car would definitely not be able to enter, and the second uncle could only park the big bus at the entrance of the alley. Except for the second uncle's Daben, there have probably never been other cars of sufficient level parked at this alley. The second uncle's Daben made the Baoliang family a high-profile figure in this alley, and they all knew that the Lu family's parents were not only policemen, but also had a particularly decent relative.

Li Chen and Liu Cunliang's families also live in this alley, and Daben, who stops at the entrance of the alley from time to time, is the same as the police uniform of Baoliang's father, which is the reason why they respect Baoliang. Although Bao Liang is the third in line, the weight of his speech is like the boss. Bao Liang was influenced by his father, and he didn't like words, and when he was with Li Chen and Liu Cunliang, he mostly listened to their vernacular, but whether he nodded in agreement after listening to it was Li Chen Liu Cunliang's competing expressions.

In this alley, the Lu family has another reason worth looking at, that is, Baoliang's sister. My sister is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a woman who can come out of this alley, every time she wears the precious clothes given by her second uncle, and walks lightly in front of the doors and windows of each house, the men, women and children in the whole alley will be envious.

This morning, as usual, Baoliang walked out of the alley with his sister. He could feel the countless eyes in front of him and behind him, but he could rub sparks on his sister's face. Those voyeuristic glances made Baoliang both proud and disgusted, and his sister held her head high, turned a blind eye, and became accustomed to it.

Before the breakup at the entrance of the alley, my sister called Baoliang, and her expression was a little different from this moment.

My sister said, "Baoliang, can you help my sister make a phone call to the school?" ”

Bao Liang said, "What are you doing? ”

My sister said, "You can help my sister take a leave of absence, and say that I am sick." ”

Bao Liang said, "Are you sick? ”

My sister said, "No, my sister has something to do today, and you say that I am sick, and I have been sick since yesterday." ”

Bao Liang said, "Didn't you go yesterday either?" ”

My sister took out the silver Nokia phone, handed it to Bao Liang with one hand, and touched Bao Liang's hair affectionately with the other. Bao Liang has been coveting his sister's mobile phone for a long time, but his sister is also fresh about the mobile phone, and she always hides it to prevent Bao Liang from getting involved. Of course, as long as my sister has something to ask him, even if there is no attraction of this mobile phone, this phone Baoliang will call.

Bao Liang excitedly answered the phone and called one of her teachers according to her sister's instructions. The teacher asked you who Lu Baozhen was, and Baoliang said that I was Lu Baoliang and my sister's younger brother. The teacher said your parents are not there? Bao Liang looked at his sister's gesture and said, "My father...... No, my mom...... Not there either. The teacher said that your sister is sick, does it matter, do you want us to go to the house to see? Bao Liang covered the phone and asked his sister: They want to come to see you, let them come? My sister said: You are stupid, you just said that I went to the hospital and my illness is about to recover. Bao Liang replied to the phone: My sister has gone to the hospital, and she is almost cured.

After making the call, Bao Liang reluctantly returned the phone to his sister, and watched the silver light flash, and the phone returned to his sister's delicate handbag. My sister said, "Don't tell Dad." Bao Liang asked: Do you want to tell your mother? Sister smiled: Mom, don't say it. Bao Liang looked up and squinted at his sister, whose backlit face was blurred, facing the morning sun. My sister said: What are you still stupid about, don't go to school quickly, be careful of being late.

Bao Liang went to school.

This day, which was supposed to be as peaceful as usual, was unprovoked by my sister's mysterious truancy. Bao Liang was absent-minded in class, always thinking about the strange dream in the night before and his sister's whereabouts, and there seemed to be a cause in a trance. My sister hasn't been to school for two days, although the university is not as strict as primary and secondary schools, but I didn't go to school for two days for no reason, where did my sister go?

My sister came home late that night, and my father, who had already finished dinner, looked at her suspiciously, and my sister was busy saying that the student union activities in the school must be attended, and that she was preparing for a speech contest or something. My mother gave my sister a hot meal, and my sister said she ate it with her classmates. The sister glanced at Bao Liang as she spoke, met Bao Liang's gaze and quickly looked away, then turned around and entered her bedroom.

Bao Liang also entered his sister's bedroom, and heard his father ask him sharply behind him: Bao Liang, why are you going to mess with your sister if you don't do your homework? Bao Liang said: I have a question to ask my sister.

Bao Liang took his sister's door with his backhand, of course, he didn't ask his sister the subject, but asked: Sister, why did you go during the day? Sister was sitting in front of the vanity mirror looking at herself, turned around and smiled, touched Baoliang's soft hair, and then took out the silver mobile phone in the bag and put it in Baoliang's hand, Sister said don't ask so much, I'll tell you later. There are a lot of games in this phone, so you can play them. Bao Liang immediately gave up all doubts, picked up the phone and started playing, asked his sister to teach him how to open the game, and then asked: Can you take it away and play? Sister said: Just play here. Bao Liang sat on his sister's bed and played the game, until his father shouted at him outside again.

In class the next day, Bao Liang was still thinking about his sister's mobile phone, why not when he could have it himself, and he could also take it to school, and take it out to call home during recess, which made the whole class dizzy. During the recess, Li Chen and Liu Cunliang came to him and told him about the ball game on TV last night, and they were very emotional about the Chinese team's invincibility against South Korea. Li Chen and Liu Cunliang asked Baoliang to say that football is also his favorite. Because Bao Liang is the "bench" of the school team. When the bench is not because Baoliang does not play well, but because he has stage fright, when he practices, his feet are full of flowers, and his feet become a colander as soon as he gets on the court. But the coach said that Baoliang has a good sense. Bao Liang doesn't fully understand what "consciousness" is, but he can already show a "good consciousness" tone in front of Li Chen and Liu Cunliang. He said what's strange about this, I knew that the Chinese team couldn't win. Liu Cunliang immediately agreed: That's right! Li Chen also followed: I know it too. The three of them were speechless.

The class bell rang, the three broke up, and Liu Cunliang said: Hey, Baoliang, I have something I want to tell you. Bao Liang asked: What's the matter? Liu Cunliang said: Let's talk about it after school, wait in the old place after school. Bao Liang said: Okay.

The old place is the abandoned brick kiln.

Bao Liang came home from school, and when he saw that his father had not come back, he put down his schoolbag and ran out, and his mother shouted to him behind him: Bao Liang, it's time to change clothes, I'll wash it after changing! Bao Liang said: Wait a while! The man has run away without a trace.

At this time, Bao Liang had already walked quickly through the alley at the back door, which was usually not walked, but was so narrow that it was only a gap between the walls. When you get out of the alley, you can see the small mountain bag and the huge abandoned kiln on the mountain bag. The ruined kiln was like a skeleton with all its features turned into a cave, and it was abandoned on the side of the barren hill in a strange appearance. The three of Baoliang formed a righteous alliance and were known as the three heroes of Jianning, but no one among the three heroes dared to set foot here alone in the past. Therefore, the first action they decided to take after their marriage three years ago was to occupy this brick kiln that was strong from the outside. The conquest of this place was undoubtedly a major battle of their lives, for this barren cave had always been a seemingly formidable fortress in the face of their guts.

Baoliang climbed the mountain bag and walked into the brick cave, it was still early, and Liu Cunliang definitely hadn't arrived yet. The setting sun shone in through several holes in the abandoned kiln at the same time, spreading a gorgeous glow like a mist. Throughout the day, only then does the most sunlight shine into the kiln, and the mottled and scorched walls of the kiln are visible. At the same time, the setting sun also created a huge shadow, making the remnants of the kiln walls hideous. Bao Liang's heart suddenly beat faster at that moment, not because of the usual shadows and lights, but because he seemed to hear someone talking in a low voice somewhere inside the kiln...... Bao Liang stopped, and the sound of the conversation immediately became more pronounced, although he couldn't make out a single exact word, but he was completely sure that he had heard correctly, it was indeed two people holding their throats down, engaged in a rapid and confidential conversation.

Bao Liang and his brother have been meeting here for three years and have never been invaded by outsiders. Bao Liang wanted to run, but he was afraid that escaping would alarm the people in the kiln. He stood there for a moment, and for some reason his feet moved forward again. He tiptoed over a blackened wall, and suddenly saw the sound of speech in his ears, and he saw half a face from the side of a beam, and a broad back opposite it. When he recognized the half of the face, the breath that Bao Liang held in his throat suddenly leaked into his stomach, but the moment the broad back turned around, Bao Liang couldn't help but shiver again. He saw his father's stunned face, and perhaps his own face was just as stunned, and he could not understand why his father and his uncle were not in the living room of his house, but had used this deserted cave and kiln as a place to meet and talk.

On that day, the connection with Liu Cunliang was forced to miscarry due to an encounter with his father. When Liu Cunliang saw Baoliang the next day of school, he complained: Why didn't you go yesterday, don't forget to go after school today, I really have something to tell you. Bao Liang didn't explain, and was silent. When he was out of school, he was waiting at the school gate, and when he saw Liu Cunliang and Li Chen coming out together, he greeted him and said: Let's not go to the brick kiln in the future, we have to meet and find another place. Li Chen said why, the brick kiln is very good. Bao Liang didn't answer, turned to Liu Cunliang and asked: What the hell is wrong with you, if you have, pull it quickly, and let it fart quickly. Liu Cunliang said that you first said why don't you go to the brick kiln. Bao Liang was bored for a moment and said, "I met my dad there yesterday, and he also made an appointment to go there to talk about things." Li Chen and Liu Cunliang immediately looked at each other: Your father! Where to talk? Bao Liang no longer dwelled on this question, turned his face and asked Cunliang again: Say, what's the matter? Liu Cunliang said: I saw your sister yesterday, and I saw her sitting in a "BMW" with a man. Bao Liang was stunned: With a man, take a "BMW"? Liu Cunliang said: Yes, I drove over from the city street. Bao Liang said: Impossible! Liu Cunliang said: Lie to you is a puppy!

Only then did Bao Liang discover that his home, the home he thought he knew well, was full of secrets. Just like he recognized his two brothers behind his parents' back, his father and sister actually have their own privacy that they don't want to show. Probably the only one who has no secrets or privacy is the mother, who works hard at home every day, and may not even dream without her husband and a pair of children.
