The Spring Festival of 2013 came very late.

Lu Jizong is eighteen years old, graduated from junior high school two years ago, and was admitted to a private vocational school, originally said that he had a good employment direction, and wanted to go to a Japanese-funded automobile factory in Guangdong to work as an assembler, with a salary of at least 3,000 yuan, but he received a notice during the winter vacation, because the principal absconded with the money, and the school was closed.

Every winter, this small southern city surrounded by mountains and rivers is so cold that people shiver from the bones. The narrow streets are full of garbage, splashed with dirt on rainy days, and the streets are full of "Love Trading" or "The Most Dazzling National Style". In front of his house was a small hotel with an hourly room, an Internet café and a Malatang, and he could name the name and nickname of each shopkeeper. He hadn't been to a foreign country much, not even the opportunity to travel outside the province - except when he was eleven years old, he followed his mother to the big city.

For the first time, he saw skyscrapers, high-traffic overpasses, and villas with Mercedes-Benz and BMWs in and out, and his mother said in his ear: "Jizong, your father lives here, and he will take us to live a good life." ”

He had never seen his father.

From the day he was born, there were only his mother and grandparents in his world, and when he saw that other children had fathers, he had this question, but the answer was - your father is in a distant place, he is a heinous bastard, abandoned you and your mother, and don't want to see him again in this life.

Seven years ago, Lu Jizong knew his father's name, it was a copy of his ID card, the address was in front of him, this rich man's big house, but it had long been empty, only a young woman remained at the door.

She is her father's cousin and has a beautiful but cold face. It turned out that Dad had disappeared, and the house had changed owners, and no one could help them, although she also gave Mom a few thousand dollars.

Disappointed, his mother took him back to his hometown.

Over the years, she has set up food stalls on the street to make a living, and she has raised her son to nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a light cyan birthmark on his forehead above the eyebrow bone.

In the Guilin rice noodle shop opposite the Internet café, a pair of eyes are constantly watching him.

It was a middle-aged man, with an ordinary hairstyle, and his face was difficult to remember, and his pale face did not have half a beard, and it was easy to be drowned in the crowd, except for a faint cyan mark on his forehead.

He had just finished eating the spicy beef brisket noodles, lit a cigarette and looked across the road, behind the glass door of the Internet café, a tall and thin boy staring intently at the screen, the mouse had been held tightly for two hours.

Two days ago, he came to this small dirty town for the first time in a long-distance bus and mixed with the crowd returning home for the Spring Festival. He hadn't flown in seven years, and he hadn't been on the railroad since the real-name train ticket system. But every once in a while, he spends money to buy someone else's lost ID card, which is similar in age and appearance, and at least can live in a small hotel or rental house. He had seen his wanted warrants in many places, and every time a policeman walked by, he was panicked at first, but then he became calm, and at most he hid the birthmark on his forehead, which was very pale and difficult to detect anyway.

He wandered in many places, and it turned out that he still had a sum of cash on him, and when he ran out, he could only work to make a living, and he was hungry and full. He ventured back to the big city several times, and even opened a small video store, but he used it as a cover to do some illegal business. Three years ago, in the late autumn, a man suddenly broke in - he recognized this police officer named Huang Hai, and immediately fled frantically, when he rushed to an unfinished building, he felt that the police behind him had pulled out their pistols, and flew out desperately, even if he fell to his death on the spot than to be caught. He actually jumped into the building opposite, but Huang Hai fell downstairs.

Since then, he has taken another human life.

His name reappears on wanted notices, and many stations and banks have their photographs in front of them, and years on the run have turned him into a cunning rabbit that will hardly be allowed to repeat the mistake he made last time.

Only once, when he took a rare ride back to the bus, he saw a strange teenager.

The boy seemed to recognize himself, and then he recognized him as well.

It was really dangerous, if it wasn't for the bus arriving at the station, and the car was really crowded, he would have been caught by the kid named Si Wang.

And isn't it because of this boy that he has fallen to such an end?

Eight years ago, when he saw Si Wang for the first time, he had an inexplicable fear. Later, he saw the child's mother again, and was awakened by nightmares every night. What made him even more unexpected was that this child came to his house and became his adopted son.

Is it because he and his wife have never had children?

In fact, he knew that he might never have children, but he was an energetic man before the age of thirty, and he had impregnated other women, how could he become a waste so quickly? He searched for a reason — until someone put a bottle of LHRH, known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, in front of him.

He realized that he had been medically castrated by his wife all these years.

In an instant, he wanted to kill her.

Even if he never believed in the child, and decided that the guy named Ma Li was actually a despicable careerist, he had to act according to Ma Li's plan in order to get revenge on his wife.

So, he bankrupted his wife's family business, and by the way, transferred tens of millions of assets.

Just when he was glad that he had become a multimillionaire and was ready to use the money to make a big splash, and even made an appointment to go to Japan for surgery to regain his strength, he had fallen into a fatal trap.

In the early spring of 2006, within a few weeks, he also declared bankruptcy.

The ex-father-in-law came to the door with a knife, and he escaped death in the fight, but let the other party lie in a pool of blood.

The Road to the Most Wanted Criminals at the End of the World......

Years later, he kept thinking about his life, the girl he was a teenager, his brothers in the dormitory in high school, and the humiliation, jealousy, and hatred of 1995.

It's not that he didn't think about committing suicide, standing on the roof of a building or by the river countless times, wanting to jump and end it, the big deal is to turn into a mess of meat puree, be thrown into the crematorium as a homeless man, or be confirmed by the police to confirm his true identity, and report the suicide case as a wanted criminal.

Twenty years later, he is a good man again.

At this moment, he remembered that boy, originally called Si Wang, later changed his name to Gu Wang, and now he is probably still called Si Wang, a child who is already eighteen years old.

Therefore, he decided that he could not die, not that he did not have the courage, but that the matter could not end like this.

He had to find the truth from Si Wang, which was the first reason why he continued to live.

There is a second reason.

Sending people under the fence, bankrupt and displaced...... Being caught and shot by the police may no longer be nothing, and the most regrettable thing in his heart is that he is destined to be lonely in this life, and there will be no more children to continue my genes?

remembered his girlfriend who broke up eighteen years ago, she was sent away by herself with a big belly, and he also strongly asked the woman to beat the child and gave a large sum of money as a breakup fee.

Looking back now, he really wanted to stab himself to death.

In the winter of 2013, the air was almost frozen to ice.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had one of her addresses in his address book, I am afraid that he would never have come to this small city in his life. When I came to the dilapidated residential building, I saw that she had changed from a fair woman more than ten years ago to a bloated middle-aged woman. He almost forgot her name, but it came up so clearly—Chen Xiangtian, including the scene of the first meeting nineteen years ago.

Yesterday, at the age of forty, she went out with a slender young man, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a somewhat familiar face and facial features, but her eyes were melancholy and lifeless.

The boy also had a cyan birthmark on his forehead.

The man's heart fluttered suddenly, and he secretly opened the mailbox of this house and found the child's name - Lu Jizong.
