"......" Wei Wenlong, who is usually silent, seems to have opened the floodgates at this moment, and he talks endlessly about his life experience. It was also his words that no matter how suspicious I was, I couldn't see the shadow of the fabrication, which made me realize that perhaps, some of my experiences were nothing compared to him.

I didn't bother Wei Wenlong, I just listened quietly, and I knew that at the moment I only needed to play a qualified listener.

The man's ancestral house was at the foot of the most remote hill in the middle of the mountain, it was a small but dilapidated adobe house, and next to it was a much smaller adobe house that no one cared about on a daily basis. Yu Wenlong looked at the sky at a 15-degree angle, and the slanting sun could only find his hood, but could not shine on his eyes.

In that adobe house, he imprisoned the daughter of his mute wife, who had died young, for fifteen years. Don't teach her to read, don't teach her to speak. Even if he was sick, he was looking for a blind local doctor in the village. ”

Listening to Yu Wenlong's narration like a mirror, my heart was in an uproar, and my breathing was uncontrollably short. I can't imagine what kind of beastly man Wei Wenlong's biological father would do to his daughter.

"When my mom was fifteen years old, she had me. I was born in a pigsty, which is probably the root cause of my sharper sense of smell than the average person. Two years later, in the same place, my mom gave birth to my sister. She doesn't have a name, I'll call her Sweetie. ”

I listened quietly, and finally, I couldn't help but take a breath:

"She looks alike to Mengxin, doesn't she?"

"It's the same. Yu Wenlong said slowly, and then pointed an inch away from his eyes with his eagle talons, and said, "If it weren't for these eyes to see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it anyway." ”

"She wasn't with you anymore, was she?" I asked.

"Four years ago, she was adopted. Yu Wenlong said lightly.

"I see. I sighed. "Where's your dad?"

"In the second month after my mother gave birth to Xiao Tian, my mother couldn't stand the torture and committed suicide. The man took me until I was eight years old. Yu Wenlong said lightly, "When I was eight years old, I made two bottles of ammonium ladder explosives from Suda, ammonium nitrate, TNT, wood powder, asphalt and paraffin that man stolen from the village clinic, and blew him into seven pieces while he was sleeping. ”

I gasped, raised my eyebrows, and looked at Yu Wenlong incredulously.

At that moment, it dawned on me that I never seemed to know this guy.

"Where did you find the recipe?"

"When the engineering team entered the village during the village reform, I saw it in the manual left by a clerk who was inspecting. Yu Wenlong said lightly.

"Of course, some of the material is left over from engineering explosives. At that time, the equipment was poor, and it rained heavily that night, and some of the engineering explosives were not disposed of in time and were left on the dojo, and were wet and discarded by the rain. I stole a bit of TNT from inside. ”

My breathing calmed a bit.

"I killed that man because," Wei Wenlong said as he looked at me, "he wanted to do something to Xiao Tian." A little girl who is less than six years old. Moreover, he beat me for eight years, about 4,567 times...... I've been remembering it since I could count. The actual number is certainly more than that. ”

My breathing was rapiding again. It's hard to believe such appalling news if it were not for someone like me, right?

"Someone found out later?"

"It was discovered. It was discovered by the old village committee. He beat me up at the time, but he didn't publicize it, he just thought it was a child's prank and ignorant. Originally, not many people would believe that an eight-year-old child made explosives, although he himself was still very afraid of me. Later, he covered it up with a gas explosion. Since then, the old village committee has adopted me and Xiao Tian. ”

"He provided for me and Xiao Tian to go to school. Provide us with living expenses. He's a stubborn man, but I'm grateful to him. Wei Wenlong said, "I went to Chengbei Primary School. He started going to the library at the age of eight. Whenever I get the chance, I go to the library. I slept and ate in the library, hid behind the curtains of the library, hid until midnight, and spent the night there. Until the death of the 13-year-old village committee, I was most impressed by the library. I devoured all the books there. ”

"After that?" I asked.

"When I was thirteen years old, the old village committee died. What impressed me the most was the jujube tree in front of his yard, and I can't forget the scene when I beat jujube with Xiao Tian...... The tree was cut down after the old village committee died. Xiao Tian and I were both orphaned and spent a year in the orphanage. Yu Wenlong said lightly. "I don't like to talk, I don't socialize with people, and the only one who can talk is Xiao Tian. ”

"People say that society is a mirror, you smile at him, he smiles at you. But I don't think so, because a smile in the mirror is always hypocritical. I don't put on a smile on something hypocritical. ”

After Wei Wenlong said a sentence that is not a philosophy, but can be regarded as a philosophy of life, he continued:

A year later, the wife of a nouveau riche in Wuxi City came to the orphanage, and when she saw that Xiao Tian was beautiful, she took her away with a smile, saying that she could give her a good education. ”

My heart was a little empty as Wei Wenlong spoke.

"The day Xiao Tian was taken away, I was very impressed. We looked at each other and didn't say a word. Xiao Tian cried, but I was calm, so calm that I didn't say a word. Because I know that I am not capable of being his brother, and I cannot give her the happiness she needs. She goes, is the best option. Yu Wenlong squinted at the setting sun, and I noticed that there seemed to be a glimmer of crystal in the corner of his eye, but before I could see clearly, he suddenly picked up the stone on the ground hysterically and threw it towards the sunset on the horizon.

"Damn the main sequencer, who made you stab me?!"

After roaring angrily at the sky, Yu Wenlong seemed to have been drained of all the strength in his body, and his whole person became soft and listless, like rotten wood.

He remained on his feet for about three seconds, his chest heaving slightly, then retreating and sitting on the cement pipe.

"What happened to the orphanage?"

"The orphanage went out of business. The CIO who invested in the orphanage charity fund was found out to have closed the company, frozen its assets, and sentenced to prison because of illegal enrichment and bribery of the secretary and director of the party and government office. ”

Yu Wenlong said in a flat tone that seemed to be memorizing lines, light and light, and understated.

"Orphans who were adopted by someone were taken away. I knew I wouldn't be liked, so I ran away overnight. Yu Wenlong said lightly, "After that, I found an upstart boss who speculated in the T+0, T+D gold stock market and futures trading." I used the knowledge I learned in the field of finance to help him copy a small sum of money, which made him laugh and make a fortune when he was about to clear his position. He worked as a financial investment advisor for a while. ”

"Later...... I warned him that, according to the report of the Masonic elite rally in '06, there would be a financial crisis in '08. He listened to me, sold the stock early, and kept the original stock. ”

"At that point, I already had 470,000 in private savings. ”

"It's not easy. I sighed. Although Wei Wenlong said it lightly, I knew that the truth was certainly not as easy as he said. No matter how talented a person is, if it is not for a certain amount of luck and the courage to take risks, as well as the experience accumulated from a few small lessons, it is impossible to go far.

Wei Wenlong glanced at me and said, "Later, I rented a house near Qingming Bridge until high school. And then...... Met her. ”

Wei Wenlong paused and said:

"Mengxin. Seeing her, I remembered Xiao Tian. ”

"That's why you've been her teacher and tutoring her?" Perhaps, I still have a biased judgment of the matter between Wei Wenlong and Mengxin after all.

The emotion between Yu Wenlong and Mengxin may be a special friendship that combines love, family affection, and half-baked brother and sister love.

"She's a lovely girl. Although frizziness, there are also agitation and secondary two symptoms of early puberty hormone germination in girls, but ...... Cute after all. ”

Yu Wenlong said, "Moreover, she is very similar to Xiao Tian." I have a lot of ideals, but I don't have anything to pursue in life. If you use the relationship between big ideals and small ideals, giving a little change to this society is my big ideal, my small ideal, I just want to see Mengxin go to her ideal high school. ”

Wei Wenlong squinted at me and said, "You know the X, Y, Z theory of management, right?"

"I know. I nodded. In simple terms, the X, Y, Z theories refer to what the field of management considers to be the essence of human beings. Proponents of Theory X believe that people are inert, and many things will be thought of by subtraction, avoiding the important and light, cutting corners, and reducing their own burden. Theory Y is the opposite, in that proponents of this theory believe that people have ideals and that their existence lies in ideals. In addition, proponents of Theory Z believe that people's character and behavior are influenced by the environment, which can be regarded as reconciling the first two theories.

"I feel like I'm more like the X crowd. Yu Wenlong smiled and said. "But sometimes, I'll be very Y. ”

"You really know who you are. I asked.

Yu Wenlong bowed his head slightly and said:

"I know exactly what kind of social role I am...... So I've always been very aware of the social impact I can make and the perception of others. For Mengxin...... I just want to see her go to school as carefree as most of her high school girls, laughing when she can, and not crying when she can't. Just like an ordinary girl, she can be happy. When I see her happy, I feel like one of my wishes has come true. ”

At this point, the topic has finally returned to square one. That is, at the beginning of the point, Wei Wenlong wanted to plead with me.

Sure enough, next, Yu Wenlong spoke:

"I don't know where your abilities come from, and I don't want to ask. But I just want you to do me a favor. I'm Wei Wenlong...... In this life, I have not begged anyone. Wei Wenlong's tone was very sincere, but sincere and serious.

"Can Gao Qinghua step down?"
