murder begins in summer

At breakfast the next day, the table was still deserted. The fourth child looked at the empty seat of the second child, dug another large spoonful of scrambled eggs from the toast, and asked, "Will Dad come home for Christmas?"

Shi Zhanyang put down his coffee and turned down the news volume, "No, wait until winter is over. His rheumatism is too severe this year, and he can't stand it here."

Qiu Shili estimated that there is still a week and a half before the festival, and the list for the second half of the year has been completed, and there is no extra work arrangement at present, so there is still plenty of time.

"Brother, let's take you out to play," he suggested, "Is there any place Xiaofeng wants to go?"

Shi Yufeng held the milk glass with both hands, gurgling and drinking without saying a word.His puppies were under the dining table, whimpering and circling around the human legs one by one.

Shi Zhanyang said, "How about Disney?"

Qiu Shili remembered it as soon as he heard it. When he saved someone last time, this matter was mentioned on the messy dining table. At that time, the eldest brother was hiding a gun in his hand under the table, and his tone was so soft.But for him, he has only watched a few Disney movies and knows that Disneyland is very fun and dreamy. There are several places around the world, but he has no specific understanding.

"I heard that many children like it." He put the peeled orange on the empty plate in front of Shi Zhanyang, thinking wildly, his eyes lit up unconsciously, "Brother, what does that Disney... look like?" of?"

"It's lively, there are many amusements, and there are cartoon dolls, princesses and princes, it's very suitable for family trips." Shi Zhanyang smiled and looked at Shi Yufeng, "The fourth brother told me that he wanted to go."

Shi Yufeng raised his eyes and looked at his elder brother strangely.

"Do you still want to go now, Xiao?" Shi Zhanyang winked at him.

"Oh, yes," Shi Yufeng glanced at the two people opposite, reacted, nodded and said, "I want to go, you take me there."

Although Qiu Shili didn't understand which song the two of them sang, he couldn't help getting excited. After staying in this house for more than ten years, there was only one real family trip. It was when the adoptive mother was alive. Went to Sicily, the place is like an oil painting, the sky and the sea are gentle and elegant, when he thinks of his adoptive mother now, he will think of the end of May.

"We'll go to the one in Hong Kong," he turned to look at his elder brother, "you can also have morning tea and drink sugar water..."

"Buy comic books." Shi Yufeng said.

"I still have to go and see my mother." Qiu Shili said.

"Well, it's better to go to Hong Kong. I really want to go back to the ancestral grave. It's been many years." Shi Zhanyang took a bite of the round orange, "I also promised my mother that someday I won't be a bachelor, so I will tell you she."

Qiu Shili stared blankly at him for a moment, and also stared at the crystal juice flowing from the orange meat, hanging on the big brother's knuckles, "Brother," he blushed, lowered his head, and handed over the tissue, "... You wipe it off."

"Okay." Shi Zhanyang looked at him happily.

Qiu Shili went to see Yaodi again, but Yu Feng still looked indifferent and concentrated on eating scrambled eggs.

After dinner, Qiu Shili wrapped himself in a thick coat and happily went to help the maid pick up eggs. Shi Zhanyang lit a cigarette and stood by the window watching him from a distance. It's too embarrassing to commit a smoking addiction in front of Qiu Shili.Seeing Shi Yu Feng coming over and standing still beside him, Shi Zhanyang crushed the smoke out again, after all he didn't want to pollute the children's lungs.

"You did a good job just now," he said, looking at Brother Yao's twitch, "Third Brother thinks he's an adult now. If he's the only one, he should be too embarrassed to say that he wants to go."

"But everyone can see that he wants to go. You can also see that he is happy." Shi Yu Feng breathed out white air on the glass and drew several circles.

"Do you want to go?"

"I think," Shi Yufeng nodded, "Actually, it's good to go anywhere, it's so boring at home."

Shi Zhanyang smiled, "You can take your puppy with you, remember to put it on a leash."

"Really? Can it fly?" Shi Yu Feng raised his face.

"My own plane, my own airport," Shi Zhanyang began to look for Qiu Shili in the bush again, and found it immediately, "It's okay to transport the dead at ordinary times."

Shi Yufeng thought about it for a while, deeply convinced, and asked again: "Why are there so many wounds on the third brother's neck? There were no injuries last night."

Shi Zhanyang simply said: "The second brother pinched it."

"Did they fight?"

"Well, when you were sleeping, your second brother violated the house rules and is now in confinement." Shi Zhanyang looked down at the only child in the family who had never been punished like that.

"What about the small ones? Deep red, some are the size of a thumb, and some are like tooth marks." Shi Yufeng described them carefully.

"...I made it."

"If you like someone, if you don't like someone, you will hurt him no matter what," Shi Yufeng pondered with a serious face, "The third brother is the worst."

Shi Zhanyang felt very weird. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. It's not like he didn't have similar so-called scars on his body. Qiu Shili's canine teeth are very powerful, but he really couldn't do it to show Brother Yao such a thing. "If you like someone in the future, you will also want to leave a little mark on him," he thought carefully, "if he likes you, he will also be very happy."

Shi Yufeng reasoned like this, "For example, I want to write my name on Xiao Hei. It shouldn't be angry."

"Hey," Shi Zhanyang ruffled his hair, "There is no comparison between a puppy and your third brother!"

I don't know if Shi Yu Feng understood or not, but anyway, he had that "whatever you want" expression, avoiding his hand, "I see, I just don't like human beings that much... In this case, in the future, I should Call him third brother, or sister-in-law?"

This question was surprisingly uttered again, Shi Zhanyang squeezed the cigarette stick and thought, you have good eyesight and intuition, but it seems that you haven't called me big brother a few times.

"You can try calling me sister-in-law. Old sister-in-law doesn't sound good."

"Ok."

"Remember to call me in front of me." Shi Zhanyang was very happy, "Why are you so obedient today when I was young, and suddenly I grew up."

Shi Yufeng looked at his elder brother strangely again, and said in a straight voice, "Old Shi, you are really annoying today, and I don't want to talk to you now."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Shi Zhanyang laughed loudly, and went upstairs to find a few turtleneck sweaters of his own, ready to let Qiu Shili try them on.

He originally thought that he would leave in these two days, and he could go to two cities in mainland China for a visit, and then come back after Christmas to prepare for the next year's work.After a lot of tossing at night, he and Qiu Shili were lying on the same bed sweating profusely again. When they mentioned this matter, Qiu Shili couldn't say well.

"We should wait for the second brother to come out and take him with him." He explained.

Shi Zhanyang was quite surprised, "You don't mind?"

"It will definitely be a little embarrassing." Qiu Shili burrowed into his arms a little more, and pulled the corner of the quilt for him. "But, brother, we should try to ease the relationship with him. On the one hand, he is a family member. It was our fault that the family trip left him out, and on the other hand, he must hate us so much right now that he might explode."

Shi Zhanyang flattened his younger brother's brows, and said softly, "Nana, he will still hate you if you take him there. This contradiction is not so shallow."

Qiu Shili held his wrist, "At least try a little bit. I will also be careful, and I won't eat or drink recklessly, and I don't think my second brother will deliberately target me when I'm out." , he took another deep breath, "I have the feeling that he is actually living a very lonely life."

Shi Zhanyang has all kinds of feelings in his heart, although he estimated that Shi Yizhou would never agree to go out with him at all, and he would laugh and say that he was hypocritical, and then say some harsh and weird words.But he still said "yes" to Qiu Shili.

He had promised his mother that he would get along well with his second brother, even though he failed...does he have to fail?

Seeing that three days had passed, the butler opened the door to the storage room.Just like when Shi Yizhou was locked in, it was late at night, and Shi Zhanyang was waiting alone in the living room.

Heavy footsteps were stepped on the wooden stairs, and then, Shi Yizhou was helped by the housekeeper to Shi Zhanyang.He did not eat or drink for three days, his face was pale, his chin and front were covered with dried black bloodstains, the fundus of his eyes were also blue and black, but his eyes still had brightness.

He closed his mouth tightly, refusing the hot water and painkillers offered by the housekeeper.

When Zhanyang put down the newspaper, he was not in a hurry to bring up the matter of travel. He just looked up at him and said to the housekeeper: "The doctor is not asleep, clean him up, and then go to bed early. I have already contacted him for dental implants. I will come back in three months." It works better."

"Second Young Master," the butler held Shi Yizhou's arm again, "Let's go, if the inflammation is too serious, it will be bad."

Shi Yizhou's eye circles turned red suddenly, and he still refused to open his mouth to make a sound. Ren Butler helped him upstairs, but his neck was stiff all the time, and he turned his head to stare at Shi Zhanyang.

"Good night." Shi Zhanyang said flatly.

Afterwards, he saw the old housekeeper and his second brother disappear around the corner of the stairs, and heard a low cry that was suppressed in his throat, as hoarse as if his throat had been broken.

It stands to reason that Shi Yizhou used to be a frequent visitor to the storage room, and it is not uncommon to close the ones longer than three days, but every time Mrs. Qiu waited outside for him to come out, Shi Zhanyang didn't have much experience to talk about, and he didn't know What to say is appropriate, and how to deal with his series of reactions, you can only act according to your own thinking.

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

In any case, however, it was only he who could bring up the family trip.The next morning, the four brothers sat at the dining table on time, facing their respective breakfasts. Only the second brother had a bowl of hot porridge in front of him, but he lowered his head and wore a mask.

"How do you eat like this?" The fourth child looked at him sideways and asked with a frown.

Shi Yizhou froze for a moment, glared at him ferociously, and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

Shi Zhanyang thought a little bit, the fourth child is also a violent temper, don't fight again after a while, but seeing that he didn't push back, he actually lowered his head obediently, picked up a small tomato and ate it.

Looking at it like this, he wasn't frightened, but he seemed to be a bit pitiful for his second child.

Shi Zhanyang probably guessed that the second child didn't want to show his mouth in front of them, and wanted to wait until they had finished eating before moving his mouth. Qiu Shili also tried to eat as fast as possible, probably because he wanted to get off the table quickly.

"It's like this," Shi Zhanyang finally said after drinking his coffee, "Second brother, we plan to leave in two days and go to Hong Kong for Christmas. Uncle Feng has roughly packed his luggage, are you going to Just take it with you wherever you go.”

Shi Yizhou raised his eyebrows, "I'm going too?"

"Well," Shi Zhanyang looked at him, "Go back to take a vacation and see mom."

"I'm not going, and I don't want to see any old lady," Shi Yizhou looked very uncomfortable, "It's hypocritical, isn't it funny?"

Shi Zhanyang suppressed his impatience, and said flatly, "It's not a question of whether you want it or not." He tried to put his tone more gently, "Mom must miss you."

Shi Yizhou laughed haha, raised his wrist, stirred the porridge in the bowl, and steamed his face, "No, I heard you right, you really welcome me."

Shi Zhanyang didn't speak.

Shi Yizhou narrowed his eyes again, looking at Qiu Shili, his painful gums made him speak very slowly, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Qiu Shili was very sincere, "I still have to go to Disney, and I have already booked the tickets for four people." He stopped the knife and fork in his hand, "Whether it's tomb-sweeping or Christmas, you should spend it with your family."

"Family?" Shi Yizhou raised his legs, and his voice became mean along with his eyes, "You really treat yourself as a family member! You were not picked up from a small mountain village in Japan, you are pitiful, no one wants you at all , an orphan!"

Shi Zhanyang shouted: "Shi Yizhou!"

Qiu Shili was stunned.

Shi Yizhou said again: "Also, ナナ, you are so cute, aren't you afraid that I will find some strong men and go to the hotel to rape you?" He even smiled, his eyebrows curved, "Oh , Oh, by the way, you should sleep with the eldest brother, I probably haven't found a chance yet."

Qiu Shili's chest rose and fell, and he desperately grabbed Shi Zhanyang's hand hanging by his side.

Shi Zhanyang gritted his molars, he really wanted to slap someone, he really couldn't figure out why this person refused to change after repeated admonitions.Is it a grudge against him?But how deep is this grudge, it overwhelms him time and time again, and projects it onto Qiu Shili.

Huge doubts and anger kept rushing to him, making him aphasia for a few moments, and even if he opened his mouth, what he said would definitely be sharp.Rarely has he been so bewildered about something.But he heard the little fourth child glaring at the second child, before he said, "You are really low-level."

The other three were stunned.

Shi Yufeng stood up and looked straight into Shi Yizhou's eyes, "Attacking other people's life experience, threatening and speculating on others with dirty words is inferior to beating people directly, anyway, I despise them very much," he thought for a while, and said seriously , "If you don't want to go, just say that you don't want to go. If I were the third brother, I would stand up and beat you right now, and I would never feel that I was wrong."

As soon as the words fell, the table was still dead silent. Shi Yufeng wiped his mouth and went to find his little black dog. I can't see Qiu Shili forcibly enduring it, with a sad expression on his face.

The butler suddenly rushed over from the corridor, "Master," he called, "we have a visitor!"

Shi Zhanyang was terribly annoyed, "Who?"

The butler bent down and leaned into his ear, "Miss Eguchi Risako, wait at the gate of the manor. She has brought a lot of gifts, and she is the only one."
