Chusan's Liuyi Children's Day

Three years later.

St. John's Cathedral.A Sunday service came to an end, and the clear and melodious singing of the choir echoed in the church.Among the crowd stood an old man on crutches, with his eyes slightly closed, singing softly along with the singing.

After the service, the believers left their seats and retreated.The old man waited until the crowd dispersed before walking out slowly on crutches.A young man stood up from his seat, chased after him, and respectfully said, "Mr. Guo, hello."

The old man stopped and turned to look at him, "Hello. Who are you?"

"Excuse me. My name is He Chusan. I'm the general manager of Bingxian Financial Company. I want to borrow your time."

"Let's go outside and talk." The old man said.

Outside the church, there are thick green trees and quiet paths.It is located in Central, and you can see the skyscrapers nearby when you look up.In the midst of the busy city, there is such a quiet place to pray.

The two walked one after the other under the shade of the tree, and He Chusan helped Mr. Guo to sit down on a bench.Mr. Guo took the initiative, "You came to me because of Xia Liuyi's affairs, right?"

"How do you know?"

"I heard that Mr. He has searched almost all the justices of the peace in Hong Kong in the past few years. After all, it should be my turn." [Note: The system of justices of the peace is a system that originated in the United Kingdom.A justice of the peace is a title appointed by the government to maintain the peace of the community, prevent illegal punishment and handle some simpler legal procedures. Because of the major performance of the prisoner, he can apply for pardon to the Governor of Hong Kong and help him reduce his sentence. 】

He Chusan explained eagerly, "Xia Liuyi voluntarily surrendered back then and made the first contribution to the Xie Yingjie case. He has also performed well in prison in recent years..." Mr. Guo smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to say more , I have studied Xia Liuyi's case carefully. Based on the crimes he committed in the past, his sentence is reasonable. You should also know in your heart, why bother to do so?"

He Chusan continued to persuade without giving up, "Mr. Guo, you are a religious believer. Christ teaches us to atone for our sins through repentance. Xia Liuyi confessed to his crimes and had a deep intention of repenting and doing good. Why can't you How about getting a chance to change in advance?"

Mr. Guo patted the back of his hand on his knee lightly, signaling him to relax—when He Chusan said this, he scratched his knee nervously, and the back of his hand was bruised.

"Are you religious?" asked the old man kindly.

He Chusan replied honestly, "No."

"Do you have any other beliefs?"

"My father is a Buddhist, and he would teach me Buddhist principles since childhood."

"Then go to your temple often. Xia Liuyi has found his inner peace, how about you?"

……

He Chusan got into the co-pilot.Kevin, who was driving, turned his head to look at his face, guessed that he was rejected again, and felt very uncomfortable for him. "Brother Chu San, it's okay, we can find another one."

He Chusan lowered his head and stroked the diamond ring on his ring finger. "Thank you, Kevin."

"It's fine. Where do you want to go next?"

"Go to Stanley Prison."

When Kevin heard this answer, he let out a long sigh in his heart.But knowing that he would not listen to persuasion, he started the car anyway.

After a long journey, the car stopped outside the gate of the prison.He Chusan got out of the car alone, and Kevin stood guard in the car, seeing him rushing in.

The phone rang on his waist, Kevin picked up the phone, and a young man's voice came from the other end.

"Well, with the third brother." Kevin replied.

"Well, I'm going home for dinner tonight. Are you not on duty tonight? Then I want to eat your pineapple rice."

"Okay, let's book a movie ticket around eight o'clock."

He chatted with the other party for a while, and caught a glimpse of He Chusan walking out of the prison. "Let's not talk, the third brother is out. See you tonight."

Kevin put down his phone and was about to start the car.But he saw He Chusan suddenly sat down beside the electric pole on the side of the road, just sitting on the ground in a suit and shoes, raising his arms to block the sunlight on his face. Kevin quickly opened the car door and ran out, wanting to help He Chusan get up, but He Chusan refused, "No... no need... thank you, let me stay alone..."

Kevin sighed lowly, took a few steps back to the side of the car, watched him from a distance, and couldn't help casting his sad eyes into the high prison wall.

On the other side of the prison wall is a square where prisoners move around and let their wind blow.The former leader of the Sha family, lame Sha, was sitting on the edge of the newly built basketball court, beating his legs, and saw Xia Liuyi walking back slowly from the direction of the visiting room.

Lisha took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and sprayed a big puff of smoke on Xia Liuyi's face when he sat down, "You poor man! It's been three years, and you still refuse to see him?"

Xia Liuyi lowered his head gloomyly in the smoke, rubbing the Jade Buddha on his chest. "He's a strong-willed guy who would carry on with even the slightest hope. I can't give him that hope."

"Ah!" Lai Sha couldn't stand it anymore! "Just treat him as your wife and wait for you outside for more than ten years, can't you? My wife and children are still waiting for me to go out!"

Xia Liuyi shook his head, "He is only 28 years old this year and has a bright future. This is his best youth. Why waste it on a sinner like me. He deserves a better life."

"I think your brain is also sick!" Lai Sha didn't listen to his nonsense, and slapped his thigh to assert.

In the middle of the night, Xia Liuyi was lying on the cold and hard iron bed, listening to the continuous snoring of the lower bunk and the surrounding.He reached under the pillow and gently pulled out a few flimsy birthday cards.He stroked those handsome and correct handwriting in the dark, just like stroking He Chusan's cheek.He felt He Chusan's deep yearning, even a trace of sad resentment.

Back then, he fully assisted the police in arresting Xie Yingjie and Qiao Chunan, and confessed to all the crimes committed by Xiaoqitang, on the condition that no one else in Xiaoqitang would be held accountable.Of course, the entrance of Xiaoqitang will also be cancelled, and it will disappear from the rivers and lakes.In the past three years, except for the birthday card on June [-] every year, he never visited relatives or answered the phone with He Chusan, and he even returned the mail he sent without opening it.The purpose is to make He Chusan completely give up on him and start a new life again.

Tears silently soaked the pillow.He didn't want to be so ruthless and cruel.If he could hug and warm He Chusan with his hands every cold night, how could he be willing to let go?

If we can meet each other when we were young, we will rewrite all the fates, be innocent, safe and secure, and stay together forever without separation.

……

On July 1997, 7, Hong Kong returned to the motherland.Xia Liuyi and his inmates crowded together in front of a small TV in the square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.Spring goes and winter comes, and the white horse passes through the gap.The calendar keeps turning pages, page by page into the 1st century. In 21, Da Batou was released from prison after serving his sentence, leaving Xia Liuyi as the only prisoner in Xiaoqitang.

In June 2006, Xia Liuyi learned that Xie Yingjie had died of stomach cancer in Shibi Prison a few days ago during a phone call with Xiao Ma. News of the death hit the news as big gossip.

"Damn it, it's only been 13 years, it's cheap for him." Xia Liuyi said happily, "He should live to be a hundred years old before he dies."

He also heard Xiao Ma tell some anecdotes about Dong Dong and Xiao Luo living in Australia, and he also listened to the gossip of Deputy Superintendent Xie Jiahua Xie Jiahua passed by the sea some time ago, and saw a [-]-jin fat man committing suicide by jumping into the sea. As a result, he was almost dragged to the bottom of the sea and rushed to the street together. Fortunately, he was picked up by a passing fishing boat with a fishing net——Xia Liuyi laughed heartlessly.

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then asked Xiao Ma, "What about him? How is he doing recently?"

"It seems to be quite busy," Xiao Ma said, "I heard that his own company is going to merge with a Papa's Baba company in the United States."

"It's Bastiparo, right?" Xia Liuyi read out a series of tongue-twisting words.

"Wow! Boss, are you so obsessed? Can you read all of this?"

"I'm learning English recently."

"What?! You?! English?!"

"Now there is a computer room in the prison, and you can apply for a commutation of sentence if you take an online degree test."

"Wow! So good! How many years less?"

"According to the number of days, after reading it, you can lose a few months." Xia Liuyi counted with his fingers.

"Hey, big brother, come on! Come out soon! I think Ah San has been alone all these years..." Xiao Ma leaked his words in a moment of excitement.

Xia Liuyi said alertly, "Didn't you say that he had a girlfriend a few years ago?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Ma hurriedly remedied, "It's the blond ghost girl from before, and she was on the news with him! Boss, can you find it in the computer room?"

"Hmm." Xia Liuyi responded.

"I mean he works very hard by himself. You see, I don't have any brains. I can't help him. If you come out earlier, you can start a company with him as a friend..." Xiao Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried on Nagging up.
