my brother became a scum

My last impression of Huang Zhiming was that he smiled at me in Xijiao Prison. At that time, he still wanted to reduce his sentence as much as possible, go out early to reunite with his wife and children, and said that one day he would commit suicide in fear of crime. I couldn't believe it.

My brain buzzed, sad but also shocked. When I recovered, the man had already left, and I couldn't even remember what I said.

I took a taxi with my luggage and went directly to Xijiao Prison. The clerk at the window didn't lift his eyelids and asked who I was visiting. I took a breath and replied to her: "Huang Zhiming."

She stopped typing on the keyboard and looked up at me: "This man is dead, his body has been cremated, and his family members cannot be contacted. His ashes are temporarily stored in the cemetery. How do you want to see him?"

"Which cemetery?"

"The one from Jiubao Mountain, where can you find him?"

"How did he leave, and did he leave anything behind when he left?"

"Forensic identification is a suicide. The specific details are not within the scope of my duties. Except for a few clothes, he didn't leave anything behind. The clothes were burned along with the people."

"I heard that he left a suicide note."

As soon as I finished saying this, she asked me reflexively, "What's your name?"

"Chen Heping."

"Have you brought your ID card?"

"Bring it." I handed it over, and she looked down at the photo with the ID card, and then at me.

"You wait here."

"to make."

The clerk pulled away the chair and went to the back office. After a while, she came back again, still holding a plastic bag in her hand, and handed it to me directly: "Just this letter, take it away."

I took the plastic bag and asked, "Is this thing in the archives room? Don't you need to go through any formalities?"

"You know so many things," she started typing again, "the archives room is unattended, so it's normal to lose something, isn't it?"

I stuffed the plastic bag into my handbag, thought about it, and said, "Thank you."

Chen Heping:

If you receive this letter, it proves that I have gone to see God and reunited with my wife and children below. The capitalist country is not very safe. My wife and children went to the show happily, but two bullets ended up. It's gone, I have no reason to persist, so I will take a step first.

I occasionally heard about you in prison. I heard that you went to Deer City and did a good job. I also heard that you resigned and never heard from you. You may not believe me, but I still miss you. If you If you don't believe this sentence, then I will add the whole sentence, I really miss the food and cigarettes you brought me, there is nothing in this prison, it is really difficult.

After my death, this letter may be seen by many people, and they will speculate whether I have left you any message, just like in the movie.But you are my brother, and I cannot implicate you, so no matter how many secrets there are, I will keep them with me. If someone feels guilty, it has nothing to do with me.

You can take my ashes and scatter them in the sea casually. At the beginning of writing this letter, I didn’t know who to write to, so I wrote your name in a daze. I hope it won’t cause trouble to you.

I wish you all the best and a long life!

your face big brother

Huang Zhiming's last pen

I read this letter on the taxi to the cemetery, and my heart was not as sad as when I came here. At least I know that he did not die by homicide, but by his own will.If the world of the undead really exists after a person dies, then he will be reunited with his wife and children as said in the letter.

I got the urn and paid off the rental fee for these days. The staff enthusiastically recommended the cemetery to me. I asked about the price. It was already [-], but only [-] in Vancouver. When I die, I will still be buried in the Wenzhou.

I went back to my grandfather's house with the urn in my hand, and when I opened the door, there was a gust of dampness. I looked carefully and found that there was already a thick layer of dust on the dustproof cloth covering the household appliances in the room. After hesitating for ten seconds between working and choosing housekeeping services, he put the urn on the coffee table and dialed the number of housekeeping services. Not long after, two aunts came and started to work neatly up.

This housekeeping chain is nationwide, and its credibility is also very high. I paid half of the price and went downstairs to eat with peace of mind. After eating, I went to the supermarket to buy some things. done.

I walked back with a plastic bag, and I seemed to go back to the past in a trance. I went to the vegetable market after work, and walked home with vegetables in my hand. When I finished the last step, sometimes I didn’t have to put it down. Find the keys in my pocket—Occasionally someone will wait for me at home, and he will say: "Chen Heping, I'm starving to death."

I smiled, walked up the last few steps, piled my pockets on the old mat at the door, took out the key, and opened the door—I met the person inside the door, and he took a small step back , said to me: "Long time no see."

I stabilized my mind and looked at the acquaintance in front of me: "Zheng Dongyang, did you pry the door of my house?"

"I didn't break the door lock. If necessary, I will install a security door for you for free?"

I didn't say a word, just walked in the door with my things, and replied: "If you have something to say, the door is there, you can go."

"Your attitude is really cold."

Zheng Dongyang is wearing plain glasses and a neat suit today. I guess he has been doing well recently, so he has the courage to come to me.

"It's nothing good to meet you. I can't make a smile. I'm going to cook, so let's go."

"If it's not me who pried the door in, but Zhang Chen, what's your attitude?"

I opened the refrigerator door and wiped the interlayer with my fingers. The aunt cleaned it up very cleanly without any peculiar smell. I started to stuff the things I bought into the refrigerator, not wanting to answer his questions.

Zheng Dongyang obviously didn't want to give up. He walked behind me and said, "I guess, you will have a big fight with him, fight, and then cry?"

I put an egg safely on the egg holder, and replied to him: "No."

"Then what's your reaction?"

"I hope I never have to see him in my life."

"What if we see it?"

"When you see it, you see it."

"Will you forgive him?"

I closed the refrigerator door without looking back: "Zheng Dongyang, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Ha ha……"

His laughing voice didn't sound right no matter how he heard it, and his reaction today was also very strange, too jumpy, as if he was covering up something.

I turned my head, glanced at Zheng Dongyang, and then my eyes slipped to the bedroom door, and I asked Zheng Dongyang: "Did you bring someone else?"

Zheng Dongyang didn't speak, but the door of the bedroom opened slowly from the inside. I heard the sound of the wheels turning, and saw the person in the wheelchair——Zhang Chen.

He pushed the wheelchair out by himself, stopped in front of me, saw that I didn't speak, and I had nothing to say, so I turned my head and said to Zheng Dongyang: "You bring people to my house, you take them away too."

Zheng Dongyang wiped his face and said, "For saving face, can you talk?"

"What are we talking about between Chen Heping and I? You don't need to save face. You can go out." Zhang Chen said the first sentence since we met. His knees were covered with a thick blanket, not like It's sitting in a wheelchair, but it's like sitting on a desk.

He was still good looking, the same as I remembered, nothing had changed.

I thought about it and said, "This is my home, can you all go out?"

I'm not curious why Zhang Chen is in a wheelchair, nor why the two of them are waiting for me to come back at my house, I just want to pack these two people in front of me and throw them out of my house, and make my dinner as soon as possible. Is it difficult?

"Chen Heping, I want to talk to you," Zhang Chen said to me word by word while sitting in a wheelchair, "It's not that I don't want to find you these days, it's just that I can't find you. You finally came back. I want to clear up some misunderstandings with you."

"How did you come up, did Zheng Dongyang carry you up?"

I asked this question out of the blue, and Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied naturally, "Yes."

"Take your feet up and let me see the soles of your shoes."

Zhang Chen didn't speak, lifted the blanket, stood up from the wheelchair, he was as tall as me, turned his head slightly and said to Zheng Dongyang: "Your idea doesn't work, Chen Heping is not fooled .”

Zheng Dongyang smiled bitterly, and said, "Zhang Chen is willing to be our insider, he just wants to have a good chat with you."

"It's your insider, not mine." I was very calm, without a trace of anger, so I refuted him clearly, "Since I resigned in Lushi, I have nothing to do with your game. You settle the deal, don't take me with you."

"Have you forgotten my father? Have you forgotten what you always wanted to do?" Zheng Dongyang asked me hoarsely.

I wanted to laugh a little bit, but I didn't want to laugh out loud, so it was a bit hard to hold back, I said: "I have bet my life twice, and I don't have the energy to make troubles anymore. I'm sorry for your father, please let me go." Bar."

Zheng Dongyang's eye circles were also red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"You go out first." Zhang Chen said at this moment, "You are here, there are many things we can't say."

"Should I call the police and call someone to break into a private house?" I said a cold joke that was not funny at all.

"Chen Heping, we can't reach an agreement today, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy a plane ticket to Wenzhou."

"You have ruined the first half of my life, how else do you want to get along?"

Zhang Chen took out a cigarette and a lighter from his arms. He lowered his head slightly and lit a cigarette. The smell of the smoke was terribly familiar. Accompanied by the scenes of the past, it made people feel irritable. I instinctively started to cough dryly. He took a step forward, blew smoke into my face, and said, "I miss you very much, Chen Heping."

I dug out the tissue in my pocket, covered my lips and coughed a few times, not thinking about retreating, probably because of my pride, I waited for him to finish smoking the cigarette peacefully, and said, "I can't beat you, I don't want to play with you anymore, if you force me, I may have to go to see my grandpa earlier."
