1 The return of the prodigal son

Next Chapter

In the early hours of the morning, Liu Ziguang walked out of the railway station in Jiangbei City, the starlight was shining on the dark sky, and the dim light above the exit gate projected his tall figure on the square. Seeing that there were passengers pouring out of the exit of the station, the taxi drivers and small hotel attendants who were soliciting customers came around like flies, but no one paid attention to him, a person dressed as a migrant worker, only a few middle-aged men holding paper signs greeted him weakly: "X county, Y county long-distance bus, get in the car and leave." ”

Liu Ziguang strode along the street illuminated by street lamps, with mixed feelings in his heart. It's been eight years, and I'm finally back, I don't know if my home is still there, how are my parents, are their hair gray, and how is their health...... Thinking about it, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When he was still some distance away from his home, Liu Ziguang suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on a cleaner on the street. It was a gray-haired aunt, dressed in overalls and sleeves, sweeping the road. I don't know what holiday it was last night, there was garbage thrown everywhere on the ground, she bent down from time to time to pick up drink bottles and waste paper, stuffed them into a snakeskin pocket, her waist didn't seem to be very good, and every bend was difficult......

"Mom!" A low cry stopped the old man's hand from sorting out the garbage, but she immediately shook her head, sighed and continued to busy. The voice sounded again, this time the old man no longer doubted her ears, she turned around slowly, and there was a familiar figure standing in the dark, the old man didn't dare to believe his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoguang, is it you?" ”

"It's me, my son is back." Liu Ziguang rushed over. In the past eight years, he has shed blood and sweat, but not a single tear has been shed, but at this moment, tears burst out of his eyes, and the iron-clad man cried like a three-year-old child.

The mother has already burst into tears, holding Liu Ziguang and crying silently, her son who has been missing for eight years has finally returned, and the days without hope have finally flashed with a new light of hope, eight years, she is struggling, waiting for this moment. The old man hugged his son tightly and didn't dare to let go, for fear that it was just a dream.

The son is dark and thin, but he is much stronger than before, touching the developed muscles on his son's arm, the old man finally smiled with satisfaction: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

I don't know when, the street lights went out, a round of red sun broke out, and the sky dawned.

Liu Ziguang's home is located in the city's famous "high soil slope", which is a dirty and messy shanty town, and has not been demolished due to various historical problems. After helping his mother pull the cleaning car home, Liu Ziguang found that the yard had changed a lot, and many families had built two-story or even three-story buildings. My mother explained that because the area is about to be demolished, the additional buildings can increase the area and have to be compensated. But the house is still the same, two low bungalows, and a small kitchen made of asbestos tiles outside.

Opening the door lock, Liu Ziguang pushed the door in, and a musty smell came to his face, because the sunlight was blocked, and the home was naturally dark and damp. The furnishings in the house are still the same as they were eight years ago, and even his bedroom, which is only six square meters, is the same as before, with a blue printed sheet on the bed, and his own leather shoes under the bed, which are clean and clean, apparently often wiped.

"Xiaoguang, are you hungry? Mom, I'll make a stove and cook for you. Mom said, opening the door of the briquette stove, picking up tongs and replacing it with a new briquette.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, don't be busy, Dad?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"I haven't come back from the night shift at the nearby Zhicheng Garden. You see, I almost forgot, so I quickly beat his PHS to get him home. Mom said.

Mom picked up the phone and dialed for a long time, and finally got through, and after a few feeds, she made two tones, put down the phone and turned around, her face full of anxiety: "Your father was beaten in class, and now he is in the hospital for first aid, what can I do?" ”

Liu Ziguang said calmly: "Mom, don't panic, let's take money to the hospital first, it's important to save people." ”

Mom took out a small bag of artificial leather from the depths of the cabinet, took out a thin wad of money and two passbooks, her eyes were red again, and she muttered nervously: "But don't have an accident, our family really can't stand the toss." "My legs are a little weak as I speak. Over the years, the old couple have relied on each other for their lives, taking care of each other and living a difficult life, if the old man collapses, the pillars of this family will collapse.

A pair of strong hands held the mother.

"Everything is with me, nothing will happen." The son's firm voice sounded, like a shot in the arm for his mother. yes, what's so scary about my son coming back? No matter how hard it is, there is a son who can bear it.

The mother and son took a car to the city hospital.

Outside the emergency room, two middle-aged men in security uniforms were smoking, and when they saw Liu Ziguang's mother and son coming over, they hurriedly greeted them: "Sister-in-law, you're here." ”

Mother hurriedly said: "Where is our old Liu?" ”

"Inside, I've filmed, I just entered the rescue room, and the company leaders have also notified me, I'll come in a while, sister-in-law, don't worry......" My father's colleague lost his cigarette butt and walked quickly with his mother to the emergency room, without asking who Liu Ziguang was.

The door to the emergency room was closed, and doctors and nurses wearing masks were busy inside. The mother was afraid of delaying the doctor's treatment, so she stood at the door and did not dare to enter, and the father's colleague whispered the ins and outs of the matter.

"Lao Liu is on duty in the second half of the night to the dawn of the shift, our community has two doors, in order to facilitate management, one in and one out, at five o'clock in the morning, there is a BMW car blocked at the exit to go in, Lao Liu went up to persuade him, how do you know that the guy kicked Lao Liu down, and took out the steering wheel lock to hit Lao Liu, if we didn't come in time, it would not be such a simple thing as a broken arm."

Hearing that her man was bullied and beaten like this, her mother's tears fell again: "Lao Zhang, Lao Li, thank you." How much money was paid? I'll give it to you. ”

Lao Zhang said: "Sister-in-law, don't say anything about it, Lao Liu was injured in the line of duty, and the company can reimburse him." Besides, we have already called the police, and this time we have to make him pay us tens of thousands of dollars. ”

"Where does the murderer live? What is your name? Liu Ziguang suddenly interjected and asked.

Lao Zhang Hu looked at Liu Ziguang suspiciously: "This is?" ”

"This is my son." Mother introduced.

"Oh." Lao Zhang nodded and sighed: "That person is a big businessman, driving a champagne gold BMW off-road vehicle in and out, living in sixteen buildings, I really don't know which one of the specific households." That person is not a good stubble, the two of them are fierce, we usually hide when we see him, that is, Lao Liu is dead-headed, so he has to fight him, isn't this asking for hardship? ”

Liu Ziguang was furious, a pair of iron fists were squeezed, he didn't blame Lao Zhang and Lao Li, these two security guards who were nearly half a hundred years old were the same as their fathers, they were nothing more than mixing a bowl of rice to eat, who had the courage to fight against the ruffians and bullies.

"Mom, you stay here first, and I'll go back when I go." After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Xiaoguang, where are you going? Come back soon. By the time the mother chased her out, her son had long since disappeared.

In the sixteenth building of Zhicheng Garden, there are only a few lonely cars in the parking space downstairs, one of which is a champagne-gold BMW X5 SUV, which is very domineering across the two parking spaces.

Liu Ziguang looked in from the driver's window, there was no one in the car, a thick steering wheel was locked on the steering wheel, and the strange thing was that there was a huge "S" logo in the center of the steering wheel. What bullshit BMW off-road vehicle, it is clearly a double-ring SEO.

Liu Ziguang punched out, and a deep pit suddenly appeared on the door, and the "copycat BMW" screamed sharply, and the alarm sounded throughout the community.

Liu Ziguang looked up, and there was no one on the sixteen buildings to watch. He smashed down with another punch, the hood was deformed, the alarm sounded again, this time a window finally opened upstairs, and a red fleshy face was revealed, due to the angle problem, he didn't see Liu Ziguang, so he only took the remote control key and pressed it, the alarm stopped abruptly, and the fat face shrank back again.

Liu Ziguang saw the location of the house, went straight to the eighth floor, and rang the doorbell.

For a long time, there was no movement inside, Liu Ziguang patiently rang the doorbell again, and finally there was an angry roar inside: "Don't let people sleep!" What for? ”

Liu Ziguang said in Mandarin: "I am from the property, and the neighbor complained that your car disturbed the people......"

The security door suddenly opened, and an angry fat man stood at the door, with an impatient face: "It's endless!" ”

Liu Ziguang didn't say a word, grabbed the fat man's hair and dragged it out, and slammed it into the aisle, and the fat man hit the wall with his head, and immediately bled all over his face.

Liu Ziguang stepped forward and stepped on the fat man, and asked coldly: "You injured the security guard at the gate of the community, right?" ”

"You...... Who are you? The fat man hadn't come back to his senses, Liu Ziguang didn't ask anymore, and stepped on it directly, and the fat man's right ankle bone "snapped", and the screams like killing pigs came out far and wide, echoing in the Zhicheng Garden, and could not be calmed down for a long time.

Liu Ziguang asked again: "Which hand did you use to hit the person in the morning?" ”

Only then did the fat man understand that people came to take revenge, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, he ** said: "Don't fight, how much do you want?" At this time, the fat man no longer had the same spirit as before, his pajamas were open, the fat belly was tumbling with waves of flesh, his snot was smeared with tears and blood, and he spoke with a crying tone, looking so pitiful and pitiful.

"Left or right?" Liu Ziguang asked kindly, as if he was guessing a riddle.

"Murder, help!" A sturdy woman rushed out of the room, with a fleshy face, dark eyeshadow, and newly tattooed eyebrows like two slender black insects lying on triangular eyes.

The woman pounced on Liu Ziguang with her teeth and claws, Liu Ziguang didn't look at it, and directly kicked the woman into the room with a back swing leg, and continued to ask the fat man: "If you don't answer, I will treat it as two hands." ”

"Right...... No, it's the left hand, it's neither, you can spare me. The fat man actually cried loudly, the shiny snot flowed into his mouth, and a mouthful of smoky yellow plate teeth were exposed in broad daylight, how disgusting and disgusting.

Liu Ziguang was unmoved, stretched out his foot and stepped on the fat man's right elbow, pinched his forearm and pulled it violently, and with a crisp sound, his arm hung down at an incredible angle.

This time the fat man didn't scream again, he went straight into shock.

"In the emergency room of the municipal hospital, bring money to see my father, otherwise you will break your husband's hands and feet on the other side." Liu Ziguang dropped a sentence to the frightened woman in the room, turned around and walked away.

Half a day later, the fat man woke up slowly, the sound of the ambulance outside was getting closer and closer, and the woman knelt aside and cried: "Husband, call the police." ”

"It's too cheap to call the police, call Qiangzi, quick!" The fat man said weakly.

Liu Ziguang hurried back to the hospital, ran to the door of the emergency room but suddenly stopped. Through the glass of the door, I could see my father lying on the hospital bed, with a splint on his arm, his head covered with bandages, his face pale and emaciated, and his gray hair peeking out from between the bandages.

My father is old, and he will no longer ride his family to the zoo on a permanent bicycle like he did 20 years ago, teach himself to play ball and swim like he did 15 years ago, and no longer help him repair the tricycle he used to build a stall like he did eight years ago.

Today, he is just an old man, an old man who needs to be taken care of, but he is still holding up the sky for this family with his thin shoulders, sheltering from the wind and rain.

"Are you standing here or not?" The little nurse in the emergency room stood behind Liu Ziguang with a tray and said angrily.

This person is so strange, wearing a gray polyester suit that has long been outdated, the dirt is so dirty, and he still has long hair that hangs down to his shoulders, and he stands stupidly at the door of the emergency room with his head bowed and just doesn't enter. No, he seemed to be crying, and there seemed to be something shiny in the corner of his eye. The kind little nurse hurriedly covered her mouth.

The man looked up suddenly, where were the traces of crying on his face? A cold face, a resolute and straight nose, wild and uninhibited eyes, and closed lips all exuded a powerful manly atmosphere, which made the little nurse's heart beat for no reason.

Liu Ziguang turned sideways slightly, pushed the door open very gentlemanly, asked the little nurse to go in first, and then followed in.

The father had heard from his mother about Liu Ziguang's return, but when he saw his son who had been separated for eight years, he still couldn't help but burst into tears, holding Liu Ziguang's hand and speechless.

's father is a strong man, except for the first time when Liu Ziguang saw him cry when his grandmother died. Holding his father's hand on the hospital bed, Liu Ziguang's nose was sour: "Dad, I'm back." ”

Mother couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, but still said: "Don't cry, the doctor just now saw the X-ray, said it's not serious, your father's company leader also came, and gave 200 yuan of condolences money, let's pay the expenses first, and when I am discharged from the hospital, I will open ** and reimburse it together." As he spoke, he took out a large roll of toilet paper and pulled off two pieces to wipe the tears of the father and son.

The little nurse helped his father change the drip bottle on the side, and also persuaded him: "The old man's waist compression fracture and arm linear fracture are cracked in the bone, not an open and comminuted fracture, and it has been splint, it's not a big deal, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Ziguang nodded to the little nurse: "Thank you." ”

The little nurse's heart was beating wildly for no reason, she was afraid of being discovered by others, so she picked up the stainless steel tray and left in a panic.

Suddenly, a piercing sound of sudden braking came, and a royal blue Mazda 6 five-door hatchback coupe stopped at the door of the emergency room, and the four doors opened at the same time, and four young people jumped out of it, wearing sunglasses, wearing a tight V-neck shirt, a big thick chain with golden light around his neck, Adidas sneakers under his feet, a small bag in his hand, and a dragon and tiger on his arm.

The door of the emergency room was kicked open with a "clang", and the first young man in a purple T-shirt shouted arrogantly: "Where is the security guard sent by Zhicheng Garden?" ”

"What are you yelling about, get out!" The little nurse who had just walked to the door was not afraid of them, and shouted loudly.

"It's none of your business, get out of the way!" Purple T-shirt chews gum and glancing around the emergency room. There were not many patients in the emergency department in the morning, and soon his eyes were fixed on Liu Ziguang's family.

"Brother Qiang, isn't what your brother-in-law said about the kid in a suit?" Another young man pointed to Liu Ziguang, who was wearing a gray polyester double-breasted suit.

The purple T-shirt took off his sunglasses, and spit out the chewing gum on the ground with a mouthful of "Γ—phew": "Mom, isn't it just a migrant worker, call me!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little nurse quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed 110.

The second elder understands what's going on, just now his son must have taken revenge, and now people are knocking on the door again, seeing that this dress is mixed up on the road, how can this happen? Mother pushed Liu Ziguang violently, and her voice was transposed: "Xiaoguang, run!" ”

Liu Ziguang stood up unhurriedly, comforted the second elder and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine right away." As he spoke, he walked over to the four hooligans.

The three hooligans outflanked them in a zigzag shape, and they didn't speak, they raised their hands to fight, Liu Ziguang kicked straight at the calf of the person in front of him, and the person lay down with a crisp sound, and then Liu Ziguang kicked the person on the left with a side kick, and the person knocked over two emergency beds in a row before stopping, and then Liu Ziguang took his left foot as the axis, turned his body, swept his right foot on the face of the person on the right, and put it down on the spot, a big man of one meter eight, he didn't even snort and fell on the small cart next to him, hemostats, gauze, injections, The syringe fell to the ground with a thud.

The little nurse's shout just now attracted several other nurses in the emergency department, and just witnessed this scene, the four nurses were all stupid, only in the movie will there be such a wonderful skill, the whole process with legs, no more than ten seconds to put down three people, and the protagonist is still a handsome guy with long hair fluttering, especially when he spins and kicks, the long hair dances with it, it's cool!

Not only did the nurses' mouths open in an O-shape, but the purple T-shirts were also dumbfounded, watching the "migrant worker" come over and choke themselves.

"Qiangzi, come on, come on, my brother will tell you something." Liu Ziguang pinched the back of Qiangzi's neck and walked to the toilet, Qiangzi's little face was pale, and he didn't dare to say anything.

When he came to the toilet, Liu Ziguang asked Qiangzi to stand against the wall, and then asked, "Where are you messing around?" ”

Qiangzi said: "My younger brother often plays in the area of Dibei, I don't know what line my brother does?" ”

Liu Ziguang's face is a slap in the face: "If Lao Tzu asks you, you will answer, and dare to ask back, Γ—!" ”

Qiangzi covered his face and didn't dare to speak, Liu Ziguang said: "That fat man called you, right?" ”

Qiangzi didn't dare to speak, so he had to nod.

"Okay, the fat man's account will be settled with him, let's talk about you first, what the fuck did you bring three people over? You are still stabbing dragons and tigers, when you are Hong Xinghaonan, what should you do if you want to scare the old man out of illness? It's a big deal, and you've got to give me an explanation. ”

Qiangzi snorted: "Brother, can't I be wrong?" ”

"Admit your mistake, you think it's okay? In this way, you first pay 100,000 yuan for the fat man, and bet it on me, which is regarded as an advance payment for the medical expenses of the elderly, if there are no sequelae in ten or eight years, I will spare you. Liu Ziguang said, bending the water pipe next to the strong son, this is not a PVC pipe, but an old-fashioned galvanized steel pipe. Qiangzi was so frightened that he dared to say no, and snorted: "I didn't bring that much." As he spoke, he opened the leather handbag with crocodile markings, and took out a wad of money, estimated that it was six or seven thousand yuan.

Liu Ziguang grabbed the money and took out the car key of Ma 6: "The car will be deducted first, when will the money be paid and when will the car be returned, get out." ”

Qiangzi was about to cry: "Brother, this car is not mine." ”

"Still nonsense, take the money to redeem the car, get out!"

Hadron crawled out of the toilet with a rolling belt, and saw a man and a woman in two uniformed policemen walking over, with a full set of police weapons hanging on the black leather armed belt, and the female policeman raised her right hand with white gloves and pointed at Qiangzi: "Stop, say you, stand up." ”

Qiangzi hurriedly stopped, and the middle-aged male policeman glanced around and asked, "Who reported the case?" ”

The little nurse said: "The case I reported, someone fought just now......

"Who's fighting?"

"This nurse sister is wrong, no one fights, they are here to deliver medical bills." Liu Ziguang appeared in a sway, the polyester double-breasted suit was draped over his shoulders, revealing the Baleno T inside, a belt was tied around his waist very casually, his long hair was fluttering, and his demeanor was calm.

"Who are you? Take out your ID card. The policewoman who accompanied the old policeman on the mission was unmoved, and asked Liu Ziguang with a cold face.

"Officer Wang, he is my son Liu Ziguang, who just came back from working abroad." Liu Ziguang's father said from the hospital bed.

Officer Wang is the older male policeman, a police officer from the police station in his jurisdiction, and he knew Lao Liu, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be your son who has been gone for eight years, no wonder I have some impressions, there are photos in the files of the office." ”

"Did you just fight?" The policewoman continued.

"No, no, we didn't fight." Qiangzi said casually, this female **** is two crutches, and at first glance it is an intern student, if it weren't for the old policeman, Qiangzi wouldn't bother to take care of her at all.

"And what's going on with these three people?"

"I hit it myself."

"! You bump one yourself and I'll see. ”

"Xiaohu, forget it, since it's okay, let's go back." Or the old policeman is experienced, and he understands when he sees this scene.

"But ......" the little policewoman was not reconciled.

"Gone." The old policeman winked and left with the policewoman. Qiangzi and the others also helped each other to leave, they did not dare to seek medical treatment here, so they had to go to another hospital for emergency treatment.

"Mom and Dad, it's okay, that person is here to deliver money, you see, bring 7,000 yuan." Liu Ziguang counted the money and showed it to the second elder.

"Xiaoguang, you can't fight." Mom said to Liu Ziguang, "You shot so hard just now, what if you hurt someone?" Now it is a society under the rule of law, and there are things to deal with. ”

Liu Ziguang nodded and said, "Mom, I know." He beckoned the nurse to come over.

"This is 5,000 yuan, please save it in the cabinet, this is 1,000 yuan, I thank you." Liu Ziguang said.

The little nurse's face turned red all of a sudden, thinking that this person was really weird, how could anyone call the nurse as a helper, and give a reward, who did he think he was. If it was someone else, the little nurse would have been annoyed a long time ago, but in front of him, the little nurse just blushed and whispered: "I'll save it for you, but I can't ask for this thousand yuan." ”

On the parking lot of the hospital, Officer Wang was educating Xiaohu: "Don't you understand the situation just now, this group of people has a dispute, but they have solved it themselves, so we don't need to take this case." ”

"But ......"

"I know, the one named Liu Ziguang is very suspicious. Eight years ago, he fled because of a brawl, although the parties are no longer pursued, and we have not filed a case, but according to my 30 years of experience, this person may have done a lot of big cases in the eight years since he disappeared...... It's not easy. ”

"Then get him arrested." Nonsense.

"Don't panic, I've already taken a picture of him with my mobile phone just now, go back to the institute and check it on the intranet to see if there is this person in the list of wanted criminals, maybe you can lead to a big case, and then you will make a meritorious service."

"Uncle Wang, you're still powerful."

"Hehe, my old fellow still works, right?"

Amid laughter, the Santana police car left the hospital.

On the outer wall of the hospital, Qiangzi was holding his mobile phone and making a call: "Hey, viagra, I'm Xiaoqiang, the car is detained, it's not a traffic policeman, it's a ...... I can't tell you clearly, viagra, you should bring someone with you quickly. ”

Putting down the phone, Qiangzi let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly a familiar face appeared in front of his face, the "migrant worker" didn't know when he came, and he was looking at himself with a smile.

"Finished calling? Good phone, lend me a few days to play. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but say that he snatched the Nokia N85 from the strong son, and said: "What kind of viagra did you ask to come over just now, why didn't you talk about bringing money?" ”

"I ......" Qiangzi opened his mouth, Liu Ziguang's face changed, "You dare to call people!" I told you to shout! A punch was thrown into the stomach of the strong son, and the strong son fell to his knees in pain, and snot and tears came out. Liu Ziguang was about to fight again, and suddenly remembered what his mother had just taught, so he withdrew his hand, tidied up his suit, and left like no one.
