twenty-one

For several days, my sister urged Bao Liang to leave Fushui every day, urging him to fly back to his lair. In my sister's opinion, Bao Liang's nest is in the provincial capital, in the executive club of the best hotel in the provincial capital. But Bao Liang still insisted on staying at his sister's house. For several days, he bought vegetables for his sister, cooked for him, and cleaned up the house. My sister's body is very bad, her face is sallow, her hands and feet are cold, she always coughs, and she often vomits. Moreover, my sister's neck and arms were bruised and bruised, and Bao Liang asked if it was Quan Hu who beat her, but my sister only said that it was okay and did not admit it positively. Bao Liang repeatedly wanted to take his sister to the hospital to see her, but her sister repeatedly said no. Bao Liang also saw that there was no money around her sister, she ate and bought vegetables every day, she was very frugal, Bao Liang used her own money to buy hen soup for her sister to drink, and her sister also said that she didn't need it, don't break the bank like this. My sister used to be a woman who loved to eat, drink, and spend money to dress up, but I couldn't imagine that it would become like this after only a few years of work.

Compared with the body, my sister's mood is even more depressed. I spend most of my time in a daze every day, and I often cry secretly. Baoliang asked her why she was crying, and her sister said that she missed Lei Lei. He also said that he didn't know if Quan Hu was sick outside, and whether the business was going well. Once Bao Liang asked: Why do you still miss your brother-in-law if he treats you badly? My sister was silent. But sometimes she can't help but suddenly talk to Baoliang about some of her past with Quan Hu. Bao Liang can hear that her sister still has no regrets about eloping with Quan Hu, and that period of running away from home is still the most beautiful memory in her heart. She said that Quan Hu was so good to her at that time, although they couldn't see their parents, they lived very happily, hugging each other with their hearts every minute, and swearing to each other every moment. Maybe that love left too deep an imprint on her sister's heart, maybe she and Quan Hu had a common son after all, so she followed Quan Hu wholeheartedly, and she was willing to be displaced no matter how she was upside down. Even if Quan Hu later blamed her for the tragedy of her family's ruin, she would rather swallow her anger and accept it. Women's patience is always far better than that of men, just like when Bao Liang was cold to Fei Fei, Fei Fei still responded to Bao Liang's needs and never gave up.

Bao Liang stayed at his sister's house for five days, and gradually became familiar with the alley, the courtyard, and the house where they lived. This house was rented by Quan Hu only half a year ago. My sister followed Quan Hu, and over the years she traveled between many counties and towns, with no fixed place to live, no normal home, and she rented a house to live temporarily wherever she went, and she didn't know how many days she could live, so the furniture was mostly simple and improvised, and most of it was abandoned by the landlord.

This house is on the ground floor of this small building, with the back window facing the street, the front door facing the courtyard, two bedrooms and one living room, and a basement for storage. On the fifth day of his stay here, things changed, and in the morning he was about to go home from buying groceries on the street when he was stopped at the gate of the courtyard by his panicked sister. The elder sister suppressed her voice and asked him to leave quickly, saying that Quan Hu and the child were back, and she didn't want Baoliang to meet Quan Hu. didn't want Quan Hu to know that she still had dealings with the Lu family.

The elder sister was pale, her tone was resolute, and she pushed Baoliang hard to let him go quickly. Bao Liang wanted to hand over the dishes to his sister, and his sister resolutely didn't want to. In the courtyard, a child's voice shouted, "Mom! Immediately followed by Quan Hu's questioning voice: "What did your mother do?" My sister retreated back to the yard in a panic, and Bao Liang turned around and ran out of the alley with the vegetables.

Bao Liang returned to the provincial capital.

When he returned to the provincial capital, he did not immediately rush back to the Dongfu Hotel to go to work on vacation, but as soon as he got off the train, he dialed a mobile phone number in the phone booth in front of the station.

An hour later, he waited at the door of the Guling Branch and waited for Xia Xuan, who had just changed into civilian clothes after work.

This is the first time that Bao Liang has taken the initiative to find Xia Xuan, although Xia Xuan has already given her phone number to Bao Liang and asked him to contact her at any time if he has something, but Bao Liang has never used this number so far, and has never asked for his "classmate".

Now, here he comes. This is obviously a private invitation, standing in a quiet street park not far from the Guling Branch, they talk quietly, in the eyes of passers-by, like a pair of lovers of the same age.

Baoliang's purpose in coming to Xia Xuan was to ask Xia Xuan to help him find his father. He said that he wanted to confess his mistakes to his father, he wanted to ask for his forgiveness in person, and he wanted to return to his father's side.

Xia Xuan felt a little sudden about the change in Bao Liang's attitude, which made her face and words have to become serious, and she had to find out Bao Liang's true intentions.

"That's how I persuaded you before, but I think you are very strong and face-saving, and you don't want to take the initiative to ask your father. At that time, I thought that you were used to living alone, used to wandering, and no longer willing to go back to your home and be controlled by your elders. ”

Bao Liang bowed his head and said, "Maybe, you may be right." ”

Xia Xuan said: "Then why has it changed now, how can you be willing to admit your mistakes?" ”

Bao Liang looked up at Xia Xuan, and he said, "I found my sister, and I want my father to meet her." I want our family to live together again, just like I did when I was a kid! ”

Xia Xuan was surprised: "Have you found your sister?" So, have you seen your brother-in-law, have you seen Quan Hu? ”

Bao Liang hesitated for a second and replied, "Yes, he is still with my sister, they have a son, and the sons are both six years old." ”

Xia Xuan asked: "Do they know about Quan's three shots to kill people, and do they still have dealings with him?" ”

"I asked my sister and she said she didn't know. I don't believe my sister, my brother-in-law, they have anything to do with Kwon's three shots. ”

Xia Xuan relaxed her tone of questioning, she paused intentionally before continuing to ask, "Can you take us to meet your sister and your brother-in-law, we need to learn something from them." You can rest assured, if they really have nothing to do with this case, we will not embarrass them. ”

Bao Liang lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, he obviously didn't expect that he would come to Xia Xuan today and bring out such a result, he said, "I...... I just want to ...... Find my dad and tell him that my sister is still alive and I just want them to meet. I don't want my sister to hate me. If she had known that I had recruited someone from the Public Security Bureau, she would never trust me again......"

Xia Xuan also thought about it for a while, and was not in a hurry to persuade Bao Liang, but changed the topic: "Your father...... He is also very stubborn, will he go to see your sister? ”

Bao Liang thought for a moment, as if his expression was uncertain, but his answer was sure whether it was to persuade Xia Xuan.

"He should have been, he used to like my sister very much, my sister is his daughter, his flesh and blood! This is the history that none of them can erase, and no one can erase the facts. He gave birth to her, and they shed the same blood forever. Even my sister's son is my father's flesh and blood. ”

Xia Xuan nodded, it seemed that he had been moved by Bao Liang's words, and the feelings of blood did not need any reason. She said, "Okay, I'll report to the leader right away, and we will definitely help you meet your father as soon as possible!" ”

Bao Liang said, "Thank you, Xia Xuan. ”

Xia Xuan smiled slightly, her smile, in Baoliang's eyes, is always beautiful and fresh!

My father was in the provincial capital, but he didn't live at home.

After the shooting, my father stayed in the public security hospital in the provincial capital for more than a month, and then went to the south to recuperate for half a year. After returning to the provincial capital, he was arranged to live at a training base of the armed police force in the suburbs. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by green terraced fields, which is more suitable for recuperating the body and resting the mood. My father never wanted to return to the home that was splattered with the blood of his relatives, and faced Aunt Yang and Dudu alone with the unbelievable souls of Aunt Yang and Dudu.

On this sunny day, Xia Xuan drove a car and took Baoliang out of the city with a cadre from the old cadre of the Provincial Public Security Department. Having lived in the provincial capital for six years, Bao Liang had never been to the mountains in the suburbs before, nor had he heard of a training base for armed police in the mountains.

It was the first time that Bao Liang had seen the terraced rice fields so closely, the aroma of water and earth wafting through the fields, the white clouds and blue sky casting jewel-like colors on the shallow water, and when the car turned around the mountainside, he could also see three or five of the fields below that looked like painted hats.

Turning over the mountainside, you can see a red-roofed house built against the mountain, and around the house, you can faintly see green soldiers coming in and out. The car circled down the mountain road, and when it was almost at the foot of the mountain, there were armed police soldiers stopping the car and checking it. After the car drove into the camp, a young man who looked like an officer came out, first led them to a reception room where tea was served, and sat down for a while to introduce the situation of Bao Liang's father recuperating hereβ€”he had been living here for more than two months, and he was still in a bad mood, he spoke very little, he did not eat much, and the medicine was mainly those brought by himself, and he did not suffer any serious illness. Go to bed early and wake up early every day. During the day, I usually like to work in the vegetable field, and when I am not working, I watch TV and sleep. Sometimes he chatted with the soldiers who were in charge of taking care of him, and most of them encouraged them to study and train hard and make achievements in their careers in the future. The soldiers also knew that he was an old public security officer and had made meritorious contributions, so they also respected him very much.

After the young officer had finished his introduction, he called another soldier to inquire about the situation, and knowing that Bao Liang's father was working in the vegetable garden at this time, he asked the soldier to go to the vegetable garden and invite him over. The comrades from the old cadres of the provincial department hurriedly stopped the soldier and said that we should go over and go to the vegetable garden to see him. The young officer said that it was okay for you to go over.

So they went with the officers and soldiers to the vegetable garden at the back of the camp. The vegetable garden is connected to the foot of the terraced hills, and tomatoes, bell peppers, and new varieties of cucumber beans are grown. Bao Liang's father was repairing the cucumber shelf, and he had apparently been notified and had already expressed his consent to let someone from the old cadre of the provincial department bring Bao Liang over to meet him today. So when Bao Liang appeared in this vegetable garden, his father's slightly stiff face did not show any surprise.

Father is really old.

He was very thin, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper, his hair was not only gray, but also rough and messy, and his whole frame was not as burly as Baoliang's impression, as if the water in his muscles and bones had been dried by the years and was about to be exhausted.

Father glanced at Bao Liang, lowered his head and went to do the work in hand, he didn't even say hello to the comrades in the old cadre and the familiar Xia Xuan.

The comrades of the old cadre first greeted warmly: "Lao Lu, are you okay?" It's a nice place. Hey, we brought your son here, this is Xiao Xia of the sub-bureau, you know each other too. ”

The father raised his eyes and nodded at Xia Xuan, and muttered, "Hmm, I know." ”

Xia Xuan's tone was also extremely enthusiastic: "Dean Lu," she also called her father's previous position in the Public Security Academy, "We took Baoliang to see you." Bao Liang misses you these days, he has also come home to look for you before, and you have not been at home. ”

Bao Liang stepped forward and shouted, "Dad! ”

Father glanced at Bao Liang again, and finally agreed: "You are here." But then he lowered his head and kept his eyes focused on the root of the cucumber stand. He was fixing the foundation of the wooden frame with a shovel, and his hands and knees were stained with half-wet mud.

Bao Liang said again: "Dad, I see you are here, don't be angry with me." ”

The comrades of the old cadre followed the round: "Cough, it's your father who is angry with you!" Beating is scolding is love, your dad doesn't beat you, who beats you, your dad doesn't scold you, who scolds you, when you have a son in the future, you will know, it's your dad who loves you the most. ”

Bao Liang said, "Dad, I have found my sister, I want to ask you to meet her, I want to go with you to persuade her to let her go home." No matter how wrong I am, no matter how wrong my sister is, we are still your children, you can forgive us, you can take us home. You can go back to the provincial capital or our hometown in Jianning, we will take care of you, provide for your old age, and never make you angry again. The house in my hometown is still there, we can buy it back. The air in our hometown is good, and the neighbors are familiar with ......."

The father suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Baoliang's words. He didn't care if Bao Liang had already spoken emotionally, and his tone was still as cold as ice.

"Your sister, are you still with Quan Hu?"

After a long time, Bao Liang learned that the reason why his father agreed with him, and why he really went to Fushui with him later to see his sister, was not completely moved by family affection, but because he thought that he had the obligation to accept the request of the Quan Three Gun Murder Case Task Force and cooperate with them to do the work of Bao Liang's sister. After the crime of the three guns, the world evaporated, and the special case group went north and south, doing a lot of work, but so far no breakthrough has been achieved. Quan Hu and his wife have a special relationship with Quan Sangun, and since they have found their whereabouts, of course, I hope to dig out some useful clues from them.

Bao Liang and his son, accompanied by Xia Xuan, set off from the provincial capital by train the next day to Fushui. At that time, Baoliang didn't know that the other group of people in the task force had already rushed to Fushui in advance and started monitoring the courtyard where Quan Hu lived.

On the way, Bao Liang tried to take care of his father as much as possible, and although his father was still silent, his attitude towards Bao Liang had recovered, and he was able to listen carefully to Bao Liang's account of the experience of the past two years, and listen to his feelings of missing his father and sister. When Bao Liang was a child, he was not so eager to confide in his father as he is now, including his good brothers Li Chen and Liu Cunliang who turned against each other for money, including his begging along the street to save the girl Fei Fei, these ugly things that may attract his father's criticism and even disgust, he can't help but come to his father one by one. He felt that no matter how his father scolded him, no matter how harsh, he was willing to accept it, because he was full of hope for the future family relationship and family reconstruction. This longing made his mood particularly cheerful, and the imagination of a happy life had dominated his expression.

Only, because Xia Xuan was on the side, Baoliang didn't mention Zhang Nan. The beautiful love he once had, the only woman who gave him spiritual sustenance after he ran away from home, he just wanted to hide it in his heart and didn't want to confide in a word.

Going in the same car with Xia Xuan, Baoliang saw the maturity and ability of this girl. Starting from the provincial capital and arriving in Fushui, as well as eating tea and dinner on the way, all affairs are contacted by Xia Xuan, and the starting and ending points are all arranged in an orderly manner. My father pointed at Xia Xuan more than once and said to Bao Liang: If you had cleaned yourself up and gone to school according to my requirements, you would not be able to be like others when you graduate from the Public Security Academy in the future! Look at other people's Xiaoxia, you should reflect on yourself, how big a gap you are now, you should reflect on yourself!

Every time this happens, Xia Xuan has to excuse Bao Liang: Dean Lu, I think Bao Liang is a very good person, he is very upright, very kind, and very strong. These qualities are inseparable from your education from an early age. Bao Liang doesn't do public security and nothing, as long as Bao Liang settles down in the future, he will do whatever he does!

The father did not express his position on Xia Xuan's prediction, neither negating nor echoing it. Bao Conscience was worried, and he didn't know if his father was still completely disappointed in him, or if he was already dispensable, and it didn't matter what he did.

When the car arrived at Fushui, it was dusk.

The one who came to pick up the station was two plainclothes public security officers, one Baoliang knew, it was Xia Xuan's partner Inspector Jin, and the other Baoliang had never met, according to reports, he was a person from the Fushui Public Security Bureau, and Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan both called him the Bull Team.

The Niu team drove them to a conference room at the Fushui Public Security Bureau for a short rest. During this process, people kept calling into the mobile phone of the cattle team and reported to him the live situation of the surveillance of the Quan Hu couple. Bao Liang listened only a few words, but he had a rough idea of what was going on over thereβ€”Quan Hu had left the courtyard with his child five minutes earlier, and according to the scouts who were following him, he had gone in the direction of the riverside wharf. After another ten minutes, he received another report that Quan Hu had boarded a cargo ship named "Langfeng", and judging from the attitude of the shipwright boss towards him, this "Langfeng" was probably also his asset. Team Niu and Inspector Jin discussed in a whisper and decided to set off immediately and take Baoliang and his son to Quan Hu's residence. On the way from the public security bureau to the alley, the cattle team kept in touch with the plainclothes person in charge of tracking, knew that Quan Hu was meeting customers on the boat, and ordered some drinks and food from a restaurant near the dock, and talked about things with a few guests while eating and drinking on the boat.

The car of the cattle team here sped up its horsepower and immediately arrived at the alley where the right family was. A plainclothes watchman got into the car to report that his wife had not gone out at home since Kwon Hu left. So everyone got out of the car and walked into the alley, and arrived at a chess and card hall not far from the courtyard. This chess and card hall is a pre-planned location, in a secluded location, and there are few customers at this time.

The Niu team took Baoliang's father into the chess and card hall and into a pre-rented mahjong room upstairs. Looking out of the window here, you can see through the layers of blue and gray tile roofs to the shore of the Jianhe River in the twilight. On the left side of the next door, there is a table of mahjong in full swing, and the sound of the commotion on the card table can be heard on the wall. The one on the right is also pre-rented by the police. Team Niu and Inspector Jin were in this room, and explained to Bao Liang again like this, and then asked a local plainclothes and Xia Xuan to follow Bao Liang in front of and behind him, and went downstairs to leave the chess and card hall and walk in the direction of the small courtyard.

Approaching the gate of the small courtyard, Bao Liang saw the plainclothes watching, and the plainclothes and Bao Liang looked at each other and were speechless. Xia Xuan went to the bookstall to "flip through the books", and Bao Liang walked straight into the courtyard and soon knocked on her sister's door.

Ten minutes later, Xia Xuan and the plainclothes all saw that Bao Liang and his sister had come out of the room together. Bao Liang walked in front, and his sister followed, and they went out of the courtyard, through the half-cut alley, and went straight to the chess and card room at one end of the alley. The plainclothes people saw that Baoliang's sister was walking in a panic, looking forward and backward, and Baoliang had to slow down from time to time to keep urging her. They even stopped in the middle and discussed in a low voice for a while, like the elder sister suddenly hesitated, Bao Liang persuaded hard, and finally stopped at the door of the chess and card room. Sister Baoliang hurriedly lowered her head to hide her face, leaned sideways, and waited for the gang to pass, before following Baoliang into the door, and then went up the narrow staircase to the window-facing room on the second floor.

Five minutes later, plainclothes smokers in the corridor on the second floor saw that Bao Liang's sister was full of tears, bowed her head and walked out of the house quickly, and then Bao Liang also came out and ran downstairs after her sister. Xia Xuan and a plainclothes also followed out of the door of the chess and card hall, and they saw what Bao Liang and his sister were talking all the way to, and walked all the way back to the small courtyard. My sister wiped her tears with her hands as she walked, and Baoliang tried to pull her to stop several times, but she pulled out her arm and insisted on moving forward. When she walked to the door of the small courtyard, her sister did not allow Baoliang to enter the hospital with her again, she didn't know what to say to Baoliang, so that Baoliang finally stopped abruptly, and watched her sister walk into the house alone, and the door was immediately closed tightly, and there was no movement.

In the chess and card room, Inspector Jin and the Niu team entered the window room immediately after Baoliang's sister went downstairs, and they saw Baoliang's father with a blue face, sitting at the mahjong table without saying a word. He knew that Inspector King, the Ox team and the rest of the plainclothes were looking at him inquiringly, but he never raised his face slightly. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice:

"If you need to take any measures against them, and what needs to be done with them, you will do it completely in accordance with the law, and you don't need to ask me at all. I don't have this daughter anymore, I don't have this daughter for a long time! ”

According to Baoliang's father's resolute request, Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan took a train that night to send their father back to the provincial capital. Of course, Bao Liang himself returned in the same car.

Regarding the results of the meeting and conversation between his father and sister, Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan already knew roughly from their father. And what exactly happened to the conversation, they didn't ask in detail. Only Bao Liang clearly knew that his father and sister almost collapsed from the first sentence.

When my sister entered the house, she called "Dad" first, but my father didn't stand up or answer immediately, but Baoliang saw that his father's eyes were red. He looked at his daughter who had been separated for many years, and his voice suddenly became extremely hoarse: "Are you Baozhen?" The father asked, then pointed to the chair next to the mahjong table and asked my sister to sit down. My sister's eyes were also red, and she choked up and said, "Dad, are you well?" The father said, "Do you still recognize your father, your father is now so old, do you still recognize him?" ”

In Baoliang's ears, his father didn't have much anger, only expressing his inner sorrow, but in his sister's ears, his father's words were full of accusations. She said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, I know that I am not filial to be a daughter, but I can't help it, you just don't have me as a daughter, you can let me serve you in the next life, be filial to you and take care of you." ”

The father said, "But you are my daughter, I gave birth to you and raised you, and I raised you from childhood to adulthood!" How can I watch the daughter I have raised for so many years ruin people! I can't allow my daughter to be born and raised, sorry for the country! ”

My sister cried and said, "Dad, I don't want to talk about the past anymore, I've already walked this road, and it's impossible for me to go back." If you want me to be your daughter, you can forgive me. Count me begging you for the last time, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you......"

My sister threw herself on the ground and kowtowed to her father. Bao Liang also cried, and also knelt on the ground, while pulling his sister up, crying and begging his father: "Dad, you can forgive my sister, you can forgive my sister......"

The father said, "Baozhen, I can forgive you, but you must promise Dad one thing, if you still recognize me as your father, you will go to the Public Security Bureau with Daddy." Kwonsan shot someone, you know, huh? The police are looking for him, do you know, huh? If you know about him, you should take the initiative to report it. If Quan Hu gets involved with him, you should also report him. We can't break the laws of the country for personal reasons. I, Lu Weiguo, have been a people's policeman all my life, I must be loyal to the people and the country, and I can't allow the people of our Lu family to get mixed up with criminals. Baozhen, if Dad was sorry for you before, Dad can slowly compensate you in the future, but I will not give in on the issue of principle. Dad has been educated by the party for so many years, if he can't even manage his own children well, then how can he still have the face to face so many honors given to his father by the country! ”

Bao Liang pulled his sister, he could feel his sister's body slowly stiffen, and he could hear his sister's voice becoming harsh and ugly.

"You...... You, you have earned a lot of honors for you, you are worthy of your Public Security Bureau, but are you worthy of your brother, are you worthy of your children! I...... I've had a hard time all these years, how hard have I been...... Do you know? Do you know! Do you know! ”

The elder sister screamed more and more frantically, making his father's face turn blue, and even Baoliang faintly understood that their mutual resentment was irreconcilable. My sister got up from the ground, tears streaming down her face, and she stumbled out the door, so resolute that she didn't look back. Bao Liang shouted, "Sister! So he got up and chased him out, while his father sat there with a blushing face, motionless.

The moment his sister rushed out of the door, Baoliang felt hopeless, and he realized that his fantasy of family reunion had been completely shattered and irretrievable. Although he chased him out and tried to persuade his sister back, it was just a subconscious action, and when he persuaded him, he already knew that all words would be useless.

Bao Liang returned to the provincial capital from Fushui, and he was no longer able to go back to the hotel to work, he did not return for many days after the holiday, and the hotel has removed him according to the regulations. He stayed in the hotel's staff dormitory for a few more days, during which time he visited his father at the armed police base in the mountains in the suburbs twice, helped him do some chores in the vegetable garden, and also helped his father wash his clothes. But in the evening, his father didn't say that he wanted to stay with him, so he followed the truck that had entered the city from the base and returned to the city.

After this trip to Fushui, my father became even more silent. This kind of silence is probably a complete death of the heart - there are no more expectations and illusions for the family and relatives.

But Baoliang doesn't.

Although he no longer has any illusions about the original family reunion plan, the way his sister walked out of the chess and card hall, the face distorted by crying, has always been entangled in Baoliang's mind, and he can't help but feel pain in his heart when he thinks of that picture. When he saw his sister this time, she had new scars on her body, and Bao Liang asked her what was wrong, and she only said that she was fighting with Quan Hu. Bora asks why there is a fight, and she only says that it is for the sake of the child. Baoliang asked if Quan Hu beat you, but my sister just shook her head and just said that Quan Hu also loves this child.

Bao Liang thinks that compared with her father, who is dead, her sister may still have expectations for the future, she still has her son, and she still has a love for Quan Hu. Maybe Quan Hu was too good to her in the past, maybe their original love became tragic because of elopement, which made her unforgettable for the rest of her life. Therefore, Baoliang feels that her sister's tragedy is still to come, because she still has "consciousness", so when she suffers, she will definitely have greater pain than her father.

Bao Liang meditated for a few days and decided to return to Fushui, he wanted to return to his sister, he thought that even if he couldn't persuade his sister back, he could at least give her some warmth and comfort. Anyway, he was also removed from the hotel, anyway, he was alone and homeless, and if he could find a job in Fushui, he could live with his sister for a long time. In addition to his father, who was cold to him, his sister was his last relative, and they should need and care for each other. Perhaps the greatest role of loved ones is that they can make you believe that you will never be completely alone in this world.

So, Bao Liang decided to go to Fushui.

Baoliang wants to go to Fushui, and there is a real difficulty, that is, there is no money.

At this time, Bao Liang was already penniless, and the only two brothers who could help him were not in the provincial capital at this time, not to mention that they had become like fire and water due to lottery disputes. Bao Liang thought about it a lot, and he was helpless, but unexpectedly, he thought of Fei Fei again.

Bao Liang went to find Fei Fei.

Fei Fei's bedroom is a mess at all times. Bao Liang sat on Fei Fei's bed, and Fei Fei sat in front of the mirror. Bao Liang couldn't tell how long he had seen Fei Fei, always sitting in front of the mirror and applying grease and powder.

Bao Liang said: "How old are you, and your skin is good, why do you have to paint your lips like this, I don't think it looks good." ”

Fei Fei continued to draw her face and said disdainfully: "What do you know, night and day are different. When I go out at night, I don't draw the key points and looks very unenergetic. Besides, just because you don't like it doesn't mean that other men don't like it. ”

Bao Liang didn't have to say anything.

Fei Fei looked at Bao Liang, looked at it for a while, and said, "You don't like me anyway, what do you care about what I dress!" ”

Bao Liang didn't have to say anything.

Fei Fei continued to put on her own makeup in the mirror. In fact, she said the truth: women are those who please themselves. If Bao Liang doesn't like Fei Fei, what kind of virtue does she paint her face, can he control it!

What's more, Fei Fei then said: "Even if I really like you, what's the use, you don't have any money." ”

Bao Liang could only listen, speechless.

Fei Fei finally finished the painting, but still did not leave the mirror, and began to try on the clothes one by one. She doesn't shy away from being in front of Baoliang, and often gets half-naked when she changes clothes. Her body is fatter than before, less youthful, and more charming. Bao Liang watched silently, still feeling a little sorry for her in his heart, I don't know how long her life of day and night will last, I don't know if she is happy with this life of living as a man? If you are happy, you are numb and degenerate, and if you are not happy, you are not practicing yourself!

Maybe she really sees her fate as being raped by someone as Li Chen said, and if it is useless to resist, it is better to enjoy it. Maybe she didn't want to rebel at all, man is such an animal, in the face of pleasure and vanity, it is always difficult to be indifferent!

Finally, Fei Fei chose her clothes and put them on her body and looked around. At this time, Fei Fei was obviously happy, especially when she asked Bao Liang in a condescending tone, her happiness had evolved into a subconscious pride and flamboyance.

"How much do you want?"

"Whatever."

"How much is it?"

In the past, Bao Liang also used Fei Fei's money, but that was Fei Fei's wish, which was completely different from the current situation. Now it is Bao Liang who is salivating and begging for it, which is even more humiliating than begging for passers-by he knows in the subway.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I, I want to go to Fushui to find a job, and when I find a job, I can take care of my sister. My sister is in very poor health right now, and I want to do my best to give her some help. ”

"Your ability," Fei Fei scoffed, "do you have the ability to come to me for what?" Fei Fei mercilessly closed the coffin and said, "I can see through you, you are a person, except for your face, you can't do anything else." ”

Bao Liang was speechless again.

Fei Fei took out her wallet and opened a drawer in the closet, and Bao Liang heard her counting the money vigorously, and he didn't dare to look up.

"One thousand, is that enough?"

Fei Fei stretched out a stack of brightly colored renminbi to Bao Liang's eyes, and the number she gave far exceeded Bao Liang's expectations. Bao Liang said: "No, five hundred is enough." But Fei Fei still put all the money in his arms.

"Take it, save it and spend it in a few days, and come back to me."

Bao Liang didn't catch the money in his arms, and the money was scattered all over the place. Bao Liang picked them up one by one, his movements were slow, a little slow, as dull as his voice.

"I ...... I will definitely pay you back in the future. ”

"You?" Fei Fei smiled, "Excuse me, who made you Lu Baoliang, who made me forget you for a while, count me cheap, okay." ”

Bao Liang stood up from the side of the bed, the money had been put in his pocket, he said goodbye to Fei Fei, Fei Fei asked, "Do you really want to go to Fushui, do you go and come back?" ”

Bao Liang said, "I don't know. ”

Fei Fei walked to the door of the bedroom, so that she wanted to send Bao Liang. The moment she approached Baoliang, she suddenly asked:

"That one is called Zhang Nan, are you still in contact?"

Bao Liang thought for a moment and did not answer. He didn't want to answer the question.

"Let people dump it, I guess. If you can ask me for money, it means that you must have no trouble with her. I can already see that you are a person, if she still pays attention to you, I don't think you will go to Fushui. ”

Bao Liang frowned and glanced at Fei Fei: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Bao Liang opened the bedroom door, but her body was stopped by Fei Fei, her half-smiling eyes hooked Bao Liang's face, and one hand was still on Bao Liang's shoulder: "Actually, we are the best match, if you want, we are okay, how about it?" ”

Before Fei Fei's words fell, the hand on Bao Liang's shoulder exerted force inside, and suddenly hugged Bao Liang's upper body, and kissed Bao Liang with a more sudden movement. Bao Liang gently pushed her away and said, "Didn't you already follow Lao Qiu. ”

"Old Qiu," Fei Fei said coldly, "he can fish outside, and I can raise birds at home." Let's just keep him from knowing. I've met a lot of men out there for more than a year, and what really I like is you. ”

With a reluctant smile, Bao Liang expressed his gratitude, saying, "I don't plan to love anyone anymore except my dad and my sister." I am very grateful that you can help me, and I will definitely pay you back this money in the future. ”

Bao Liang walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the door, Fei Fei behind him, chasing after the half-smiling voice:

"Okay, if you have money and want to pay me back, don't forget to come and knock on the door!"
