Chamberlain took Hitt directly to Goethe's cemetery in San Francisco, where Doug's ashes were buried.

The burial system practiced in the United States is that people are put in a coffin after death and then buried. Doug died in distant Iraq, he died as a volunteer, he did not enjoy the treatment of American martyrs, he could not transport the body back to China by freezing, but only burned to ashes, which made Chamberlain very sad, in the eyes of traditional Americans, this is not even the whole body can be preserved.

Goethe's Cemetery is one of the most luxurious cemeteries in the San Francisco area, located on the mountainside of a small local hill, Labar Mountain, where you can climb to the top of the hill to see the white crosses and black low tombstones.

The cemetery is planted with numerous willow trees and golden palms, and apart from the grave keepers maintaining the lawn or a few families mourning the deceased, the cemetery is quiet and peaceful, and the view of the San Francisco Bay from the mountainside is unobserved. The waves on the sea surface rolled slowly, the soft sunlight sprinkled on the waves, as if gilded with a layer of golden light, several steamers sounded their whistles and drove slowly, and the wharf not far away was full of traffic and people.

Hit's face was expressionless, Chamberlain took him out of the car, he walked forward like a marionette, his eyes that had always exuded vitality in the past, were now dim, obviously, although he was emotionally resistant to his brother, but he still loved his brother deeply in his heart, Doug's death was a heavy blow to him.

Doug's grave was still new, the bouquet in front of it had just withered, a few calendula petals had withered, and the breeze was blowing and swaying in the wind, just like Hitt at this moment, without the slightest vitality.

On the tombstone, Doug smiled brightly, and time was forever frozen in this scene, his eyes staring straight ahead, looking forward to a wonderful and brilliant future. Chamberlain's photo was taken in 2005 when Doug led the team to win the California High School Basketball Championship and was elected MOP, when he was really in the limelight and promising, averaging 22 points, 16 assists, and 8 rebounds per game, he was called the next Jason Kidd, but just a month later, on the way to Los Angeles for vacation, a car accident ruined everyone.

Seeing his brother's picture, Hitt finally woke up from shock and disbelief, his body convulsed, and he fell on Doug's tombstone and wept bitterly.

Chamberlain, who was in the same gloomy mood, placed the prepared calendula in front of Doug's tombstone, and tidied up the surrounding lawn to make the grass look smoother.

After weeping bitterly, Hitt suddenly got up and grabbed Chamberlain, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "For what, for what is this!" Z, you're my brother's good brother, but why are you a goddamn NBA star now that my brother is dead? How could he die? How do you allow him to go to hellish Iraq?! Originally, everything about you should be my brother's, damn it should be my brother who became an NBA star, he has been regarded as a star since he was a child, how can this be? What the hell, what the hell is going on with fate? ”

Chamberlain regarded Hitt as if he were his own brother, and he accepted all his vents, just patting Hitt on the shoulder without explaining anything.

After venting, Hit's mood was much better, although sad, but no longer so desperate, he sat in front of the cross in a daze, his eyes staring at the picture of his brother on the tombstone without saying a word.

Although he was accusing Chamberlain before, in fact, it was more difficult to forgive himself in his heart, if it weren't for his willfulness, Doug would not be so low, and he would not have gone to the inexplicable Iraq to find a sense of responsibility and redemption. He wandered around the United States wantonly, and he felt better, but Doug was worried and frightened all day long, and finally Doug died, and he did not even attend the funeral.

Chamberlain sat here with Hitt for an afternoon, and when the sun set in the evening, Hitt rubbed his somewhat paralyzed face and stood up, moved his nose and took a deep breath and said to Doug in the photo: "Brother, you go, go to find your parents, rest assured, I will live a good life, I will never be willful in the future, I will become the person you expect, go back to school, and then be admitted to college, and finally find a decent job to support my family." ”

After talking to himself for a while, Hitt had a smile on his face, he looked at Chamberlain, and said sincerely: "Z, thank you, thank you, thank you for taking care of my brother at the last moment, as he has always thought, he has a good brother who is you." ”

Chamberlain was equally sad, he patted Hitt on the shoulder and said: "We are brothers, brothers like you, go home, I have a room for you, and I have a school, you will be very happy when you go to school tomorrow, tomorrow I will introduce you to two guys as old as you, their hobbies and personalities are similar to yours, you will become good friends." ”

Hee nodded and said, "Yes, Z, I'll have the same friendship as you and Doug, and I'll find a good brother like you and Doug." ”

Before the good brother could see it, Hitt had just returned to the cliff house with Chamberlain when he saw two beautiful women, Shirley and Doll, waiting for him at the door.

"Hey baby, how was your day at school?" Chamberlain put his arms around the two little girls and asked, the doll struggled like a small fish, and Shirley gave Chamberlain a warmer hug with her backhand, and said excitedly:

"It's great, Z is really good, Miss Taylor is our music teacher, she sings amazingly, like an angel singing, and she likes me very much, and she speaks very well, and we listened to Whitney's songs together after school today. By the way, Miss Taylor asked why you didn't go to school? You're the headmaster. ”

Chamberlain smiled and pulled Hitt to introduce him to the two daughters, and said, "I'm going to pick up one of your little brothers, and he's going to live with us in the future." ”

Hit's body was stiff, he stared at the two women, and his mind would not turn for a moment: Shirley was wearing a white dress, a white gauze was tied through the waist and tied into a bow on the back, and the bow fluttered every time she walked, as if it were really two wings, and the noble and elegant beauty, like alcohol, was enough to make people intoxicated.

The doll stood quietly aside, her petite body was still a simple pale yellow robe, and there was no expression on her delicate little face, only occasionally making small movements such as frowning and pouting, full of pure temptation.

Hitt felt that Shirley was like an angel, the doll was an elf, and he was a silly scarecrow or puppet.

Hearing Chamberlain's introduction, Shirley generously stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Shirley, and I am Z's sister." ”

Seeing Shirley stretch out his little jade hand, Hitt hurriedly stretched out his hand - just now he was crying and screaming and tidying up the lawn, because of wiping tears and digging soil, Hit's hands were mottled black and green, which was not ordinary dirty.

He stretched out his hand and was embarrassed to withdraw it, but Shirley shook it indifferently, smiling like a flower.

Hitt felt that he had really seen an angel, and he felt very happy.

Then he soon became bitter, for he reached out to the doll, who gave him a blank look, nodded and turned and walked back into the house.

Chamberlain comforted Hit, "Don't care, boy, the doll is like that, he is wary of strangers. ”

Shirley also said: "Actually, your treatment is already good, in the past, the doll directly ignored strangers, and now she still nods to you, the first time I saw her, I didn't have such treatment." ”

Chamberlain had already called Li Qun to say that he had found Doug's brother, and Li Qun had prepared a sumptuous dinner according to Chamberlain's description, and many of the dishes in it were according to Hit's taste. Chamberlain called Michael and Bruce, and he handed the trio three Nintendo gamepads, and then the three teenagers became talkative.

After playing the trendy NBA-LIVE for a while, Hitt pretended to be unintentional and said, "Do you go to and from school with dolls?" When do they all go? ”

Bruce immediately looked at Hitt with wary eyes and asked, "What do you mean by asking this?" Do you have an idea for Shirley? Tell you, brother, everything else is easy to say, but you'd better not harass Shirley, that's my advice. ”

Michael rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, brother, don't you be so sensitive, okay?" First of all, Shirley has nothing to do with you - not before, not now, not and not again, she's a goddess, you know? You shit-like guy doesn't deserve her! Moreover, What does Hit's topic have to do with Shirley? ”

Bruce was furious, and although he was now bald, he expressed his anger with similar actions: "First of all, I have a relationship with Shirley, she is a goddess, you are right, but I am a paladin who guards her!" Secondly, you idiot, you don't know how to open your brain like elm pimples, Hitt just asked us if we were going with the doll, why didn't he ask Shirley? In fact, what he really paid attention to was Shirley, but he just wanted to get rid of this, so he deliberately didn't mention Shirley's name, I was tired of using this trick before, hum, I want to play tricks in front of Big Brother Bruce? No way! ”

Hitt looked at the two of them dumbfounded, then Bruce was neurotic, right? In fact, he did fall in love with a girl, but not Shirley but a doll.

Bruce and Michael are right, Shirley is a goddess, he doesn't have any hope for Shirley at all, the two are not in the same world.

Shirley was glued to Chamberlain's side, and the latter, confused, asked, "Isn't Taylor teaching 8th grade music?" You're a freshman in high school, why is she going to teach you? ”

Shirley said happily: "Because our music teacher, Ms. Steve, was not feeling well, so the director invited Mr. Taylor to teach us, and the guys in the other classes were very envious of us, alas, if Mr. Taylor could teach us all the time, or Ms. Steve wouldn't come." ”

Chamberlain rolled his eyes, and Shirley said again: "By the way, Teacher Taylor also likes dolls, she said that dolls' voices are very unique, and she will visit her home when she has the chance." ”

The doll snorted, and she said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't said a word between me and her, how does she know that I have a unique voice?" After the woman knew that I was Z's daughter, she complained around me and pretended to be a mother, am I a fool? ”

When Chamberlain heard this, he was in a hurry, he covered the doll's mouth and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, it will be troublesome for your Li Qun's mother to hear it." Also, don't say damn swear words in the future! He saw that Li Qun was still in the kitchen, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The doll pushed away Chamberlain's big hand, her little face was a little red, she looked at Chamberlain, and then ran to the kitchen with a cigarette and said, "If you don't remind me, I forgot it, I want to tell Li Qun about this woman." ”

“BULLSHIT！” Chamberlain.
