Tongshan Town is not a big town, with a resident population of less than 20,000, plus the younger generation has gone to work outside, there are even fewer people, only now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many people from the village who went out to work have returned, and this mountain town has some popularity.

Two days ago, there had been a winter rain, and the streets were a little muddy and slippery, which did not prevent the only one or two restaurants in the town from opening their doors to do business.

"Li Shao has been outside all these years, why didn't he come back to take a look?"

"I think, I guess I forgot that there is such a Tongshan town, and the flower world outside is much better than here. ”

At the right position of the dining table, the young man known as Li Shao, took the wine and toasted the person who spoke: "I can't come back, although the case was closed back then, but the person was not the one I went to prison, it is important to wait for the person who went to prison for me to come out, and I will come back, but I did follow my father outside to do business in the middle and delayed, and I will only have time to come back until the Chinese New Year, I apologize to all my brothers!"

The wine glass was saluted, and he raised his head to drink it all, and showed the bottom of the glass to the five people around him.

Directly opposite, a short-haired young man picked up a wine bottle and filled it for him: "Li Shao is happy, he invited us to dinner this time, it seems that he has made a lot of money outside." ”

"That's it, I'm all driving a Mercedes-Benz, so I think it's a rich man, when will I take a few of our brothers from Tongshan Town out to see the world and get some wives?"

Huaguo's economic recovery has been rapid in recent years, often working outside for a year to earn, are more cost-effective than farming, a large number of young laborers go out, the relative number of women are also a lot less, some young men who have not gone far away, it has become more difficult to find a partner, ten young people in a village, basically seven or eight have reached the age of not married, not even a partner.

Li Zhaoyuan was very satisfied with the expressions of these brothers who were eager for him.

"As long as you make money, I will definitely take you there, and I will leave after the New Year. He said with a smile, and then thought of something, "By the way, how is the little young man who cut us a few now?

"I don't know, I haven't been back to Tongshan Town anyway. When someone shook his head, a person next to him spoke: "He, I remember that I seemed to have seen a wanted notice the year before last, and the person on it seemed to be him." ”

"Hahaha...... Dogs can't change their eating. Li Zhaoyuan laughed, took a chopstick and put it in his mouth: "How can a poor person fight with a rich man? Even if I was convicted at the beginning, he didn't know that my parents could spend money to find someone to impersonate me, and he was in prison for more than ten years for deliberately hurting people, and he came out of prison as a junior high school student, without any skills, and was wanted by the police when committing a crime, which is normal." ”

Outside, a group of people walked by.

Li Zhaoyuan put down his chopsticks, he glanced at it, picked up the wine glass indifferently, and invited the wine quite heroically: "Come on, don't talk about that stupid, let's drink, and take you outside to make money after the New Year." ”

That's just at this time.

During the banquet, the sound of drinking was high, and the guys in the store were coming over with hot dishes, and among the people who were originally walking outside, a fat man suddenly stopped and cast his eyes.

Li Zhaoyuan raised his head and drank the wine in his cup, and when he put it down, he happened to meet his line of sight, and in an instant, he saw that the man grabbed a chair placed on the side of the road, rushed to this side, and smashed it at them.

"My brothers are in jail, why didn't you sit down, I'll kill you-"

Li Zhaoyuan's body instinctively dodged, let go of the waving chair, and turned around with his back to a companion who was drinking, and was directly covered on his head.

Bang!

The man's face was splashed with blood, and he slammed his head on the table, and the people around him who were originally drinking were startled by the sudden attack, and reacted, got up one after another, and a voice shouted: "Fatty, what are you doing?!"

Some people rushed up directly, grabbed the chair in the other party's hand, and Ma Bang on the side of the road threw the paper money in his hand to the ground, and the red, yellow and green three people around him had already rushed into the store and blocked in front of the fat man.

The red hair flew up and kicked on the person who was competing for the chair with Zhao Dezhu, and pulled the fat man backwards: "Fat brother, you go to the back-" As he spoke, he was also kicked by the other party on the side and fell to the ground.

In the sudden chaos, the guy who served the vegetables was bumped into, and he fell to the ground with the vegetables, and the green hair stepped on him and rushed to the opposite side, picked up the beer bottle on the table, and hit the head of a person on the ground.

Dodged by the other party, the wine bottle smashed on the table leg, and the glass shards splashed in all directions.

Li Zhaoyuan retreated from the fragments of the bullet, retreated to the door of the hotel, and shouted: "Kill that fat man....." , far away, a candle hit him in the face, Huang Mao rushed over, knocked him down, and then Huang Mao was lifted to the ground by Li Zhaoyuan.

There were five people on the opposite side, and there were also five people on this side, scuffling into a ball in an instant, the tables were overturned, the dishes and drinks were knocked over the ground, the chairs and stools were smashed, and some were smashed directly into the restaurant, and the glass door with the word "welcome" written on it shattered.

The boss stood on the kitchen side with a sad face with the ledger and shouted, "Stop fighting, don't smash it again." ”

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the police.

"Fatty, let's go!"

Ma Bang saw that someone called the police, pulled Zhao Dezhu, who was bruised and swollen on his face, out of the scuffle, picked up the incense, candles, and paper money on the ground and ran towards the car, with the red, yellow and green three people covering behind.

And here Li Zhaoyuan and the five people also chased after them and gave up halfway, after all, when the people from the police station came over, everyone couldn't leave.

"They seem to have fled towards Team Seven, and I'll call some of the town's brothers later. ”

A good meal was stirred, and the five of them were also characters like little overlords in the town, but they were beaten by outsiders on the street, and no one could swallow this breath.

"Okay, you go find someone, and I'll pay the money. Li Zhaoyuan wiped the corners of his mouth, looking at the blood stains remaining on his fingertips, and his heart was also angry.

On the other side, the five Ma Bang people who escaped into the car and left were also shouting in the car, and the fat man clenched his fists and stared out of the car window, wiping away tears from the town under the winding dirt road.

It wasn't that the pain in his body made him feel sad, but that he heard the other party's conversation, knew that Xia Yibai had been in prison for more than ten years, and he had worked hard to send living expenses to the prison for more than ten years.......

"These scumbags ......"

The fat man cried.

The vehicle went in the direction of the dirt road in the countryside, due to Xia Yi's sudden return to his hometown, some people recognized the elongated Hummer parked in the dam, and knew what price it was, which was basically not seen in this kind of place in the countryside.

There may be snobbery, but there are also people with a simple temperament who are still very curious about Xia Yi, I heard that he has made a fortune outside and has a big house in the city, many people went to congratulate Wang Suhua, saying that they would move to the city in the future, and the old couple could enjoy Qingfu and the like, so that the smile on Wang Suhua's face never fell.

And some old bachelors in the village, their eyes have been staring at Jiang Yu, Zhou Jin, and Guo Manyuan who are eating, and there are very few women in a mountain village who can come to the city, and there are three beautiful ones at once, it will be amazing, smoking cigarettes and discussing their most beautiful from time to time, whether it will be Xia Yi's daughter-in-law, etc., and then sigh at the other party's good life.

This kind of excitement lasted for a while, and some people saw Xia Jianxun coming back from outside with a hoe, looked at each other, and gradually left, only some good people stayed to continue to watch the excitement.

"Are you back?" Wang Suhua put down the dishes and chopsticks and went up to help her husband get the hoe, the man just nodded silently, and did not look at the group of men and women sitting around the table.

When he walked past Xia Yi, he sat down on the threshold, and the cigarette gun knocked on the door, knocking the cigarette ash inside to the ground, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"When did you come back. ”

The people who were eating around quieted down, still pretending not to hear and continued to eat, Wang Suhua looked at her son with some worry, and then looked at her husband, and just wanted to speak, Xia Yi, who was sitting opposite, spoke first.

He smiled and reached for an empty bowl and placed it on the table in front of his father: "I'll be back at noon." ”

"Hmm. ”

Taking a puff of cigarette, Xia Jianxun didn't mean to serve the bowl, pressed his knees and got up from the threshold, turned around and went into the dark bedroom, "Come in with me." ”

Xia Yi smiled at the three daughters and their mother, put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed into the house, there was not much furniture inside, a black and white TV was placed, and there was a rice cabinet next to it, the curtains were drawn, the lamp rope was pulled, and under the dim light bulb, the figure of the father was squatting in the corner at the end of the bed.

Pulling out a brick from the wall and throwing it aside, Xia Jianxun took out an iron box from the hole with a smoking gun in his mouth, opened it and took out the contents inside.

"Take it, I'll save so much ...... for you over the years"

The smoke filled around the light bulb, and what he was holding in his hand was a stack of money wrapped in oilcloth, and handed it to Xia Yimian, but his eyes were looking to the side: "....... Take it and leave quickly, don't let the Li family know that you are back, I will have to trouble you. ”

took another sip of the gun, and seeing that Xia Ye didn't move, he stuffed the stack of money over and pushed it out: "I'll leave after eating." ”

Xia Yi looked at the money in his hand, some of them were old tickets from the past, it seemed that he had saved some years, his eyes warmed up slightly, he nodded, and accepted the money.

The father and son haven't seen each other for so many years, even if there are some gaps, they won't quarrel when they meet.

Walking out silently, the two sat at the table and ate their meals, and soon after, the fat man and Ma Bang hurried back with incense, candles, and paper money in their hands, although the scars on their faces were cleaned up, they were still seen by Wang Suhua.

"Fatty, what's going on on your face?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I peed on the side of the road and accidentally rolled into the field below, and I fell. The fat man put the incense candle aside, sat down next to Xia Yi, and whispered a few words in the other party's ear.

At this time, Wang Suhua glared at him: "If you don't tell the truth, you will fall like this if you fall once?"

"I fell twice!" Ma Bang held the rice in his mouth and gestured with chopsticks: "I just climbed up from below, but I fell down again." ”

While laughing, Jiang Yu noticed that Xia Yi over there had a strange expression on his face, "What's wrong with Brother Yi?"

Xia Yi turned his face and smiled: "It's okay, let's eat." ”

"Oh....."

After lunch, Xia Yi picked up the incense candles on the ground and went to the forest behind the house, the fat man and a few others followed, there were several families next to each other, and there were many small mossy bags on the edge of the bamboo forest nearby, all of which were tombs left in the seventies and eighties or beyond.

After entering the bamboo forest, his originally smiling face seemed to be detached from all emotion, and became indifferent, and stopped in front of a small mound, where Ma Bang and the fat man came over and lit incense candles and planted them on the ground.

"Here, it's my master who is buried, not a reclusive martial arts master, just a wild man who doesn't have a medical license, and the only thing he can do is the technique of orthopedics. ”

He lit a piece of yellow paper on a candle and put it on the ground, "He can save people and kill people, but he is timid and does not dare to go outside to practice medicine. ”

Yellow paper was thrown into the fire one by one.

"My dad has been a farmer all his life, and like my mom, he hasn't even been to the county seat. There is also little knowledge, he didn't recognize me at the beginning, that is, he cut off my idea of coming back, so that he would not be approached by the Li family to find trouble, although the method is clumsy, but he has always adhered to the responsibility of a father. ”

The flickering firelight reflected Xia Yi's face, and his voice gradually changed from flat to indifferent.

".......But some people have no bottom line. ”

He threw the last piece of yellow paper into the fire and watched as the ashes drifted into the sky with the flickering flames.

"I want him dead!"
