Bandit [strong]

Shao Guogang really hurt his son that day, and the leaves of the big sycamore tree outside the window fluttered to the ground.

Shao Guogang's face was blue, and he endured the discomfort: "Shao Jun, what do you want me to do? How can you be satisfied?"

Shao Jun stared out the window blankly, not speaking.What else can he ask his father to do, is it still useful to be noisy now, what can he do to save Luo Qiang's life?

Moreover, can this be regarded as his father's "fault"?

What did his dad do wrong?

Shao Guogang said: "Junjun, when you were a child, you were unhappy for a few years. Your father was sorry for you. I want to make up for you now. Will you give your father a chance? Go home, okay?"

Shao Jun bit his lips tightly, did not nod his head, the water in his eyes was forced to the edge of his eye sockets, and he stepped on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

He can't nod his head.If he gave his father a chance this time, it would mean that he would never give Luo Qiang another chance, end everything completely, and let Luo Qiang, that big bastard who deserved his crime, squat in Qinghe Prison for 30 years, until he was old, until he died, for this man The countless sins committed in the first half of his life are completely repaid.Originally, it was the debt that this bastard should pay, and it fell into the hands of Shao's family. This person was not wronged at all, retribution.

Shao Guogang caressed the table with his rough fingers, his eyes were red with emotion, and he made a last effort: "Junjun, last time in the hospital, you promised, did you forget?"

Shao Jun's lips whispered: "..."

Shao Guogang said: "You promised that as long as I can solve the case more than ten years ago, let your mother know about it, feel at ease, and the real culprit will be punished, and you will stop worrying about the past, and you will go home. Jun Jun, does it count if you promised your father?"

Shao Jun couldn't control the mist in his eyes...

In the warm stove of the kitchen, Luo Qiang stood with his back, broad shoulders surrounded by a light, and made him a small siu mai. The fire on the stove was warm and bright.

He remembered what he had said to Luo Qiang himself.

Luo Qiang confirmed with him over and over again, you really promise your father that if he can solve the case and catch the murderer, you will leave Qinghe and live a normal life, right?

At that time, he proudly and confidently patted his chest and promised Luo Qiang, don't worry, I will not leave here, and I will never leave you...

Shao Jun didn't understand what Luo Qiang was thinking until today, he was wrong, he was very wrong, it was his stubbornness, capriciousness, and recklessness that hurt his father back then, and Luo Qiang now.It was he himself who pushed the person he loved the most into the abyss step by step, even forcing and rushing, which made Luo Qiang finally choose to surrender himself and embark on a dead end.

Shao Jun's eyes were red, he bit his mouth tightly, it hurt until his lower lip bleed.

Of two relatives, he must feel sorry for one and give up the other.

Shao Guogang has everything now, career, official position, money, family, young and beautiful daughter-in-law, and both sons and daughters.

But Luo Qiang has nothing.

That day, Shao Jun stormed out of the director's office, knocked open the door, and rushed downstairs to the two little police caps who were listening to the excitement with their necks stretched out.He couldn't tell the truth to his father, he had nothing to face his father except cheating, breaking promises, and breaking his promise.

Shao Guogang chased him out and stood motionless at the stairs. From that moment on, the shadow of suspicion in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Both of his hands in the coat pockets were clenched sorely, and he watched his son run away from him without looking back.

****

Shao Jun drove back to the prison area again, and the sky above his head seemed to change color.

The blue and cloudless sky was like a transparent and thin mirror curtain, illuminating his eyes and reflecting his heart.

He stood on the hillside outside Qinghe Farm, overlooking a large orchard and forest farm.This land is an orchard contracted by the third prison district from outside. Many apple trees, pear trees and jujube trees are planted.Every autumn harvest season, the prisoners in the whole prison area have to be dragged to the field to work, climbing ladders, carrying baskets, sorting and waxing the picked apples, wrapping pears with moisture-proof paper, and packing boxes , shipped out of the mountains.

Looking from a distance, Shao Jun saw that the orchard was crowded with people, countless tall figures in prison uniforms were swaying in the forest, and the branches of the fruit trees were covered with huge and heavy red fruits...

Shao Jun stepped into the orchard with noisy footprints, the toes of his leather boots were covered with fresh dirt.He shuttled among the familiar crowd, looking for the smell of the person he was familiar with.

Luo Qiang also went out to work in the field with the brigade these days, and the work was very hard.

Luo Qiang was wearing a short-sleeved tight-fitting white vest. The vest was soaked in sweat and soil, and it was dirty. His neck and arms were thin and slim.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and the man seems to have lost weight again, and the muscles on his back and waist have become tighter.Because Shao Jun needed to have a cold war with this person, he deliberately didn't enter the dormitory of the seventh class every day, and didn't check Luo Qiang's internal affairs, but in fact he cared about it, hiding in the dark every time, with a round eye poking out from the corner of the wall , peeking secretly, looking at Luo Qiang's whole body carefully, who is fatter, who is thinner...

He saw Luo Qiang standing under a tall jujube tree, skillfully beating dates with a long pole.The jujubes fell down, and the other boys in the seventh class each held up a dustpan and picked them up.

Luo Qiang carried another wooden ladder, put it under the apple tree, and went up the tree to pick apples.

Luo's family has a self-contracted orchard in the suburbs of Yanqing, so Luo Qiang is very good at this kind of countryman's farm work, he can do everything, and he can do everything.

Shao Jun hid behind the tree, just staring at Luo Qiang's forehead and the back of his neck, which had been scorched by Qiuhu's poisonous sun, and the copper-colored skin on Luo Qiang's face and chest. up.

He peeped at Luo Qiang who plunged into the dense tree crown and picked the two biggest and ripest apples. Out of the corner of his eyes, no one noticed, he secretly put the apples in his pocket...

In order to enliven the working atmosphere, Officer Pony also brought a portable stereo from his dormitory, and played songs beside the orchard.

Song after song, Beyond, Zhou Huajian, Wang Jie, are all 90s old songs.Everyone in this generation can sing, humming while working.

"How are you all these years, you seem to have lost weight..."

A hoarse and rough male voice came out of the stereo, with a sense of sadness and hope amidst the vicissitudes of life, like a big rough palm touching the heart, plucking at the heartstrings.

"It doesn't matter if I have you or not, it's good to think about you from afar.

In fact, I may not be happier than you without you!

Obviously I belong to you, I still keep your rights!

I am very serious about changing myself and trying to live;

In the face of harsh criticisms from previous and future generations, I am still waiting..."

Shao Jun was stunned by the singing.He saw Luo Qiang raised his head from the tree pit, listening to the song quietly, with his waist straight, like a tree on the wasteland.

Luo Qiang walked over slowly, stood in front of the stereo, pressed pause, and then played back, playing that song over and over again...

"Perhaps you will laugh at me for being so stupid;

Is there no one who can make me reborn!

You know that's the kind of person I am, that's how simple you know me.

In fact, I may not be happier than you!

I don't know how to let go, I just want to keep you!

I am very serious about changing myself and trying to live;

In the face of the harsh criticism of the past and the future, try to live..."

……

After lunch in the cafeteria, under the afternoon sun, Shao Jun's eyes followed Luo Qiang, watching Luo Qiang report to the pony police officer, and went to the infirmary alone.

Luo Qiang's legs have not been very good since he passed the hell under the special task force of the discipline inspection committee, and he went to the infirmary almost every day for a while.Since the death penalty was not imposed, he would not be able to die for a while, and would have to suffer for many years.Luo's second child is not a person who gives up on himself and fools around. He knows how to do it well, and he is very active in restorative treatment. He finds the doctor in the prison area all day long to prescribe medicine, magnetic therapy, and massage for him.

Shao Jun saw Luo Qiang coming out of the infirmary slowly.Luo Qiang's legs have been walking without problems for a long time, and he can also run, jump and toss, but when the rainy season in autumn is about to come, the joints can't stand the tide, and it hurts to sleep at night.

Shao Jun couldn't help recalling how painful it must have been when Luo Qiang put his head in his arms the last time they were intimate before Luo Qiang surrendered himself.

When Luo Qiang was suffering the most, most uncomfortable, and most lonely, his legs hurt so badly that he couldn't walk, so Hu Yan still had to go to the infirmary to treat his legs.

Shao Jun was "convalescing" in the veteran cadres' villa area in Beidaihe at that time. He was on vacation and deliberately didn't come back for several months.There is his grandpa's nanny serving him, and good food is served to his mouth.There are guards driving and escorting him when he goes out. If he wants eight big sedan chairs to carry him through the streets, he can do it.He lived the happy life of a prince, his body was fat and strong, and the belt around his waist was stretched tight.

Shao Jun stood under the open-air porch, leaning against the pillar, and stood quietly, waiting for Luo Qiang to come over.

Luo Qiang took a few plasters from the infirmary, and asked for a pair of knee pads to wear when playing.

The two looked at each other silently, Shao Jun opened his mouth, many words stuck in his throat, not knowing where to start.My chest was filled with thousands of words, love, hate, resentment, and scolding, but when I saw a living person, I couldn't say anything, and I no longer knew who to hate or blame.

Luo Qiang glanced around with the corners of his eyes. Like a child cheating, he quickly lowered his head and took out his pockets. A big apple appeared from the left and right pockets, and he threw them to Shao Jun.

Shao Jun was holding two apples, his eyeballs hurt from the bright sunlight...

He bit his lip, tried his best to suppress the urge to grab the man in front of him by the neck and beat him up, then pounced on him, gnawed the man's throat and killed the bastard, and handed back an apple to Luo Qiang.

He wiped the apple on his shirt twice, took a big bite, and the crisp, sweet and slightly sour juice filled his mouth and filled his chest cavity.

The two of them stood in the corridor, neither of them spoke, just like this, you took a bite, and I took a bite, eating the apple silently, and what came into your mouth was the sour taste in your heart.A trace of white cloud drifted slowly across the blue sky, reflecting a pair of silent and slender shadows under the sun.

Without each other, in fact, no one can be happy.

Obviously I belong to you, and I still retain all your rights over me.

We are all serious about changing ourselves and working hard to live...

Faced with harsh criticisms from previous and future generations, we are all waiting, waiting for the day at the end.
