Carved Bones of Rebirth

I don't know when it started, they are no longer relaxed.Compared with those boys of the same age, they are more like men.

For 20-year-old boys, whether they can participate in terrorist attacks, the great turmoil in country M, or the underworld vendetta, they seem to be full of curiosity and eager to try.And for these people who are really immersed in the scene and are about the same age as them, they are constantly adapting to their lives, gradually chatting and laughing in the landslides, becoming the envy and attention of countless people, and becoming others. The protagonists in the stories they talk about may sometimes yearn for peace, or they may be afraid of stray bullets passing by at a certain moment after a war, but most of the time, they will ignore it indifferently. smile.

Because they all know that when faced with all this, they can only laugh.

When Song Renliang returned to the entrance, the underground people in the entire Jiangzhou City received the news one after another. Before they could do anything, another piece of news exploded in their ears like thunder——

Those who betrayed the Qinglong Gang have already applied to Song Renliang for peace talks, or surrender.

It is not uncommon for the underworld forces to fight against each other. Even a towering tree will collapse one day, and for the rest of the people, the fallen tree will naturally become their choice. nutrients to feed themselves.

They dare not participate in the internal fighting of the Qinglong Gang, because if they intervene when two tigers are fighting each other, they will only become the target of the two tigers' joint attack, so they are all waiting and watching, they are waiting, waiting for the outcome Already divided, waiting for others to rush up first, waiting for myself to follow behind to pick up the bargain.

But now the result they are waiting for is that the party who put all their effort into defecting from the Qinglong Gang will surrender and admit defeat. This is something none of them thought of. Pulled directly to the inner hall, this is even more shocking to drop the glasses.

Even if he accepts the other party's surrender, he can't just ignore the main culprit, right? Isn't this a scene directed and performed by the Qinglong Gang to test them?This idea flashed through the minds of countless people.

At this time, Xiang Lei, who had been staying in this room for the past few days, had gone out in the inner hall at the entrance of the main hall of the Qinglong Gang, and only Song Renliang and Xue Zimu were left in the room.

"I'm back." Song Renliang smiled boldly as before, and patted Xue Zimu's shoulder, but this pat was like patting Xue Zimu's bones soft, his shoulders were no longer as firm and powerful as usual, and he knelt straight to Song Renliang go down.

"What are you doing?!" Song Renliang was shocked, and hurried to help Xue Zimu up, but Xue Zimu's knee seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he couldn't get up.

The smile on Song Renliang's face also slowly faded, tensed, and he stood up straight, waiting for Xue Zimu's explanation.

But Xue Zimu never explained, didn't explain, and didn't get up, but his breathing became heavier and heavier, and his fists were clenched more and more tightly, as if a certain emotion in his chest was already unbearable.

"Except for the first time when you worshiped the patriarch, you have never knelt down to me."

Xue Zimu still didn't say a word, just knelt there blankly, looking down at the floor tiles, not daring to look at Song Renliang.

Yes, he has never knelt down before him, because they have always been brothers, but all this has changed the moment he betrayed, no matter whether Song Renliang forgives him or not, for him, everything is different .

He couldn't laugh heartily with Song Renliang anymore, and he couldn't drink with him until he passed out, and he couldn't accept his forgiveness calmly, just like he could never forgive himself for his betrayal.

Song Renliang frowned deeply when he saw Xue Zimu like this, just like what Yan Leng said, he was not as clear as Yan Leng in seeing brothers for so many years.

This morning, before coming here, they all heard Cen Ge tell the story of what happened here, and that's what Yan Leng told him at that time.

"Xue Zimu is a very thoughtful person, you may have to work hard."

"Don't worry, our brothers for so many years."

"...Have you ever thought about why he believed Cai Yonggui and the Zhao family and thought you had changed since he could come back and take on everything now?"

And his answer was that it was all bewitched by Cai Yonggui and those villains from the Zhao family.

But now that he saw Xue Zimu like this, he understood what Yan Leng meant when he said that he had a heavy heart.

For Xue Zimu, he really had to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

"Get up." Song Renliang's voice was not as full of long-lost enthusiasm as before, but became very cold.

Xue Zimu froze for a moment, and then heard Song Renliang's colder voice, "Get up!"

With obvious anger, Xue Zimu hesitated for a moment, but he still stood up, but kept staring at Song Renliang's shadow on the floor tiles, and still didn't dare to meet his gaze.

"look up."

Xue Zimu lowered his head even lower. He recalled countless times the days when they fought together. At that time, their noses and faces were often bruised, and it was commonplace to be hacked with a dozen knives. But it was the first time in his life that he suffered such pain. When facing Song Renliang, this pain became even more unbearable.

Song Renliang was angry for a while, his brother who had been with him for so many years was really very thoughtful, everyone came back, but the people who could chatter became silent, this kind of gap was hard for Song Renliang to accept.

Take a deep breath.

He managed to come back alive from the siege of the killer, and he couldn't let this kid die of anger. It would be too unfair to die like this.Whoever let himself be the big brother, being the big brother, is destined to worry about this guy.

"Come with me."

Song Renliang dragged Xue Zimu into the inner hall where he usually lived. After pushing him in, he pushed the door behind his back, took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator, and stuffed one of them into Xue Zimu's door. hand, "Drink."

A simple word, and then he opened the can of beer in his hand, seeing Xue Zimu holding the can of beer so stupidly, he had no intention of drinking at all, after cursing "stupid", he put himself The bottle that was just opened in his hand was stuffed to Xue Zimu, and then he took the bottle of wine in his hand.

turn on.

As usual, I clinked glasses with Xue Zimu and started drinking.

Xue Zimu's eyes were red, this scene was too familiar, every time they won a big victory or a small victory, and they still had something to say, they tacitly took a bag of beer, went up to the rooftop, bumped glasses, and then drank all night.

Xue Zimu didn't speak, just drank in silence, because he didn't know how to speak or what to say, so he just drank.

Song Renliang, on the other hand, clinked glasses with him from time to time, saying "Do you still remember..." "That time we..." "I still remember..."

From sober to drunk, from every word clear to every sentence blurred, from sitting cross-legged straight to lying on the ground rolling upside down, they drank for a long time, talked for a long time, did not drink much , but said a lot, just like that, when I woke up, it was already dawn.

"Lao Ran left early, and the remaining brothers around me can count with one hand. In the gang, you are the only one left except General Xiang. Zimu, this road is too long. It is so long that I have seen If you don't know where the end point is, it would be a pleasure for you to let go, but for so many years, brother, you have left all the difficult things to me, are you not guilty of leaving?"

"It's so easy to die! It's so hard to live!"

"I don't know if you really feel sorry for me or want to quit, you know, I can't kill you at all, so you just want me to get rid of you, so you don't have to be busy every day, you just You can let it go with peace of mind."

"I do not……"

"Don't explain to me! Do you think you are very powerful? Do you think you can resist everything? Let me tell you, you can't! Whoever should bear the burden is the one who bears it, and no one can replace it." Song Renliang borrowed Feeling drunk, he stood up abruptly, resisting the dizziness in his head, kicked Xue Zimu hard, and fell down himself.

"But this was originally my fault, can it still make you fail!?"

"Do you think I'll let you go so easily? Xue Zimu, I won't mention gang rules for a few days, and I'm not a gang leader, so I'll just ask you, do you regard me as a brother? Or is the so-called Iron Triangle just a rumor, Is it my fucking wishful thinking?!" Song Renliang has never said such a cruel word in his life, and he never thought that the first time he said it would be to Xue Zimu, which he never expected.

Although Xue Zimu felt ashamed, he still felt that Song Renliang's anger was sudden and evil, but he could hear that Song Renliang was really angry and sad.

Xue Zimu really knows Song Renliang very well. He knows that Song Renliang always looks like a swanky person on weekdays. He doesn't seem to care about everything, but he is like a person who is picky to the extreme. Friends, relatives, once betrayed, it will be almost fatal.

Therefore, he broods over his betrayal.

In the end, Song Renliang still personally admitted the title of "Iron Triangle", and even asked him whether this was his wishful thinking, which made him unable to answer.

He remembered the first time Song Renliang and Song Renliang faced countless knives back to back, and they hid under a carport in a downpour. That was the first time Song Renliang recognized him as a brother.

At that time, they were still very young and immature, but at that time he knew that Song Renliang's definition of friends and brothers was too rigid and too picky, because at that time he said to him, "Remember, I I recognize your brother."

Later, when the Qinglong gang was booming, someone found him and threatened him with his long-time girlfriend to stab Song Renliang in the back, saying that it was a lie that he hadn't struggled because he really loved her. , but in the end, he still didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.

So, at that time, he didn't know whether he didn't agree in his heart, or he didn't find a suitable opportunity, or at that moment, he hesitated after all.

It was only later that he realized that Song Renliang knew about that matter at all, and had already arranged everything. He had found out the other party's whereabouts, and was fully prepared to rescue his girlfriend.

At that time, he asked Song Renliang why, knowing that there was a person who might stab him in the back, why he still confidently fought side by side with him, and dared to hand over his back to such a person.

He still remembered that Song Renliang said at that time, I said, I will recognize you as brother, as long as you don't get stabbed, I will recognize you as brother again.

He remembered word for word what they said at that time, but now, after all, he stabbed the knife, and he would choose to forgive, which made him unable to believe or accept it.

"Don't talk? I've said so much, why don't you say a word?" Song Renliang propped himself up from the ground with one arm, grabbed Xue Zimu's collar, and stared at Xue Zimu with drunken but extraordinarily bright eyes , as if he were still awake.

But Xue Zimu really knows Song Renliang too well. He knows that he is already drunk, because he will never grab the other party's collar when he is sober, especially the brother he admits. No matter what time, he will give the other party all the respect. .

"You can forgive me, but I can't forgive myself. This matter should have been borne by me." Xue Zimu gradually spoke with the drunk Song Renliang.

"Before I came back, in front of everyone, I said that I would bear everything. Tomorrow, I will be dealt with according to the gang rules. This is what should be explained to everyone. You are the leader of the clan... If you still admit that I am your brother, You should deal with me personally and kill me."

"According to the gang rules, betraying the gang is a serious crime and should be punished with the death penalty. Tomorrow, after burning incense and confessing the crime, whether it is better to break the limbs and share the food with the wild dogs, or to slash and six holes, and to wash the crime with blood. Because you are a gang Lord, and I used to be your brother, so you should deal with me more severely, so that you can convince the public."

Xue Zimu's speaking speed is not like his usual one. On weekdays, he is always nagging and fast, but every word can be heard clearly. When he speaks, people feel both kind and majestic. Coupled with the excellent relationship with the gang leader Song Renliang, the prestige in the gang is extremely high.

But today, he spoke very slowly, or you could say extremely slowly, almost as if he was telling his last words to his brother.If he is punished according to the gang rules he said, these are indeed his last words.

"Are you here to bear the blame? Do you want me to let Cai Yonggui go? What does this matter have to do with you?!" Song Renliang was a little drunk, but maybe Xue Zimu's speech was too slow, or maybe he said too much. Clearly, Song Renliang felt that every harsh word was desperately drilled into his ears.

"I was the one who recommended the highest rank after the rebellion, and I was the one with the highest rank before the rebellion. I was the one who proposed the rebellion, I was the contact person, and I was the one who proposed to come back. Naturally, I should take full responsibility .As for Cai Yonggui, now is not the time to deal with it. When everything settles down, you can deal with it as you like." Xue Zimu had already thought everything through clearly, or in other words, he had already explained everything as early as that conference. I understand.

"I, no, yes!" Song Renliang was so angry that he punched Xue Zimu in the face.
