his robbery

In the early hours of the morning, Bai Mani woke up.

His daily life is not divided into day and night, and has no rules. He always sleeps when he wants to sleep and wakes up when he wants to wake up.Half asleep and half awake, he felt hot and hot, and was hugged tightly, so he kicked subconsciously to prevent Lian Yi from pestering him.However, after kicking, he suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was in the arms of his elder brother.Turning his head and looking again, he saw that Huo Xiangzhen had her eyes closed tightly and was soundly asleep.

He stared at Huo Xiangzhen for a long time without blinking, and at the end, Bai Mani shrank his shoulders and rubbed down, slipping out of Huo Xiangzhen's embrace bit by bit.This time he lifted the quilt and sat up, stretching his legs and moving to the side of the bed.The light in the room was dim, and it was almost night. Military uniforms were scattered on the ground, and when he stepped on it, a copper button pierced the sole of his foot.

He slept warmly that night, and the blood vessels in his left leg seemed to be much smoother, and he actually listened to his orders very well.There must have been a sound when the cane hit the floor, so he staggered to the bathroom while leaning on the walls and furniture.

After sloppy washing, he turned and went back to the bedroom to find his pants.He took out a small paper packet from his trouser pocket and opened it. He slapped a few morphine pills into his mouth.Picking up a cup of cold tea and taking a few more gulps, he tiptoed to bed and got back under the covers.

The drowsiness had completely dissipated, he held Huo Xiangzhen's face, first looked carefully, and when he finally moved closer, he began to kiss gently again.As usual, Huo Xiangzhen slept soundly and completely unconscious.With his fingers buried in Huo Xiangzhen's thick short hair, Bai Mani slowly stroked the other's scalp with his fingertips. For some reason, his mood suddenly became very old, as if he, like Lian Yi, was over fifty years old.

Huo Xiangzhen snored a little in her dream, and then stretched out her hand to hug Bai Mani back into her arms.

Huo Xiangzhen never sleeps in late, but today she made an exception and didn't get up until mid-sun.There were few clothes that could be worn all over the floor. He stood on the ground wearing a nightgown, lowered his head and smiled at the clothes, and then smiled at Bai Mani again. His hair was messed up and his face was a little red.Bai Mani hugged the quilt and sat on the bed. The effect of the morphine pills had expired. He urgently needed a good opium now, but in front of his elder brother, he managed to suppress his addiction and just smiled silently.

Huo Xiangzhen stretched out his feet and kicked the underwear into a pile, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Crazy."

Bai Mani looked up at him, and asked with a soft smile, "Who is crazy?"

Huo Xiangzhen glanced at him with a smile: "I'm crazy."

Bai Mani thought for a moment, then asked, "Crazy, okay?"

Huo Xiangzhen nodded, her voice was rare and soft: "Okay."

Then Bai Mani didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't answer any more.He found another set of clothes from the cabinet on his own, and he went into the bathroom and took a cold shower.

While eating breakfast, Huo Xiangzhen noticed the scar on Bai Mani's eyelids - Bai Mani's face was white, and the scar was also white. It was inconspicuous at first glance, but it was very clear under the sun.Huo Xiangzhen looked at him in a daze, because yesterday he didn't notice anything.

Bai Mani stirred the rice porridge in the bowl with a small spoon, and laughed softly: "Drove fast at night, and ended up flipping into a ditch. The driver and I were bloodied all over. Fortunately, there was no serious accident. It’s all flesh wounds. I was afraid you would make a big fuss yesterday, so I went ahead and put some face powder on my eyelids.”

Huo Xiangzhen put down his chopsticks and put his arms across the table.Staring at the front for a while, he finally said cautiously: "Mani, go home."

Immediately, he added another sentence: "Your addiction to opium, if you don't want to quit, you can not quit first, and talk about it later."

Still holding a small spoon, Bai Mani stirred a bowl of hot porridge into lukewarm: "Brother, I'll come back after you finish fighting."

Huo Xiangzhen immediately looked at him: "What does the war have to do with you going home? Or do you think Lian Yi can protect you, but I can't?"

Bai Mani shook his head immediately: "That's not what you mean, why are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, I won't say anything."

When Huo Xiangzhen heard this, her arrogance really dropped a little.He has always thought of Bai Mani as a brat, but a brat is well versed in the tricks of four or two tricks, and he has always treated him accurately.

Bai Mani lowered his eyes, thinking and thinking about his own thoughts, and finally felt that he couldn't express it, so he simply started to mess around: "Anyway, I have made up my mind, and now I don't want to go home. If you ask me to go back, I won't go back; I won't go back until the war is over." , I want to go home, you can't let me go back!"

Huo Xiangzhen immediately wanted to slap the table and roar like a lion, but seeing Bai Mani's small shoulders, small neck, and small head, he felt sore for no reason: "Nonsense, if this battle lasts for ten or eight years, you will Don't come back for ten or eight years?"

At this point, he paused, and his voice lowered: "You bastard, do you have a big brother in your heart?"

Bai Mani put one hand on his thigh and rubbed his fingertips on his pants. He thought of Huo Xiangzhen's warm short hair, and at the same time subconsciously showed a tired expression. He tilted his head and lowered his eyes. He muttered with dissatisfaction on his face: "I asked knowingly, did you say there is? If I don't listen to you, it means I don't have you in my heart?"

Huo Xiangzhen scrutinized him for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Did you owe Lian Yi these few years, so you are now under his coercion? Tell the truth, elder brother is rich."

Bai Mani shook his head slowly, shook his head, and smiled again.This time, the elder brother was right. He did owe Lian Yi a debt, but it was not an economic debt, but a human debt.Lian Yi, who has been unruly all year round, is really moved by him.He originally thought that he gave his body and the other party gave money, and it was a transaction where each got what he needed; but people's hearts were unpredictable, and after a few years of doing a business, it was no longer a business.However, Lian Yi has a vicious personality. He is 50 years old, but he often looks like 15 years old when he is aggressive.It is too difficult and too dangerous to get rid of such a person for no reason.It's not me who is in danger, but my elder brother.

The eldest brother had a hard time making a comeback, and he couldn't be allowed to learn from Lian Yi and "become a beauty in anger".The eldest brother is still young, and he can't make mistakes in every step; Lian Yi can go to the elderly if he loses, but can the eldest brother take care of himself?

So I have to wait a little longer, and when this period has passed, I can always think of a way to escape peacefully.It's best not to let the elder brother intervene. At the beginning, I was desperate and caught Lian Yi like a lifesaver; now that I have a home to go back to, I turned my face and refused to recognize anyone, and waited for the elder brother to rescue me as if I had been wronged by the sky. No, I'm sorry Lian Yi.

Thinking of this, he turned to Huo Xiangzhen and said, "Brother, I am free."

Huo Xiangzhen raised two eyebrows: "Since you are free, if you still want to hang out with Lian Yi, wouldn't that be—"

The words that were not spoken were the words "self-willing to be degraded".Looking at Bai Mani's translucent pale face, he is now reluctant to say harsh words to this brat.Breathless, he digested those four words in his heart, and he turned to say: "Lian Yi is so old, it is more than enough to be your father! Besides, does he have any benefits? He is just a fool! He used to People can't talk about those flamboyant things they did!"

Bai Mani lowered his head and took a sip of cold porridge, then looked up at Huo Xiangzhen: "Brother, do you love me?"

Huo Xiangzhen never expected that he would ask such a sentence out of nowhere, and was immediately startled: "I—"

In Huo Xiangzhen's mind, these words were all nasty, so when the words came out of his mouth, he became so angry that he was almost impatient, but impatient was impatient, he suppressed his temper and nodded, and answered in a low voice: "Love! "

Bai Mani smiled wryly and asked again: "I have become like this, do you still love me?"

Huo Xiangzhen nodded deeply, with an almost painful expression: "Love!"

Bai Mani also nodded: "Brother, I love you too, but I have become like this. I love you like this, are you still willing to accept me?"

Huo Xiangzhen leaned back, as if exasperated: "I don't understand what you said that turned a corner! To put it bluntly, who are you with? Me or Lian Yi?"

Bai Mani, because he had made up his mind, was extraordinarily calm: "I won't follow anyone now, and I'll go back to Peiping in two days. I'll go home after this battle is over."

Huo Xiangzhen was silent for a moment, then sneered, raised his hand and scratched his head: "You are a courtesan, you hang out with a group of people by yourself, you are nice to everyone, and you can't tell anyone. I am your big brother , you hang me too."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Mani, there are no bad people in your family, and you are also a good boy, but the things you have learned in the past few years are not good."

Bai Mani lowered his head: "Brother, I'll go home after the war. When the time comes, I'll change everything."

Huo Xiangzhen didn't speak for a while, and finally sighed again: "Okay, listen to you. I reckon there will be a big battle, and if it's over, I've turned around completely, and we'll continue to live as before; If it is broken, you can find another way to live by yourself, I won't implicate you, and you don't need to take care of me."

After the words fell, he got up and left.After a few minutes, he came back and sat down, and he handed a check to Bai Mani.

Bai Mani raised his hand to accept it, and saw that it was a Citibank note with 20 yuan written on it.Immediately raised his head and faced Huo Xiangzhen, he said, "Brother, I am really not in debt, and I am not short of money."

Huo Xiangzhen frowned and stared at the table, as if ready to throw a tantrum at any moment: "Shut it up! You can eat people with soft mouths and short hands. If you don't have any money, how can you have freedom?"

Then he raised his head: "Does Lian Yi know what's on your mind?"

Bai Mani hesitated for a moment, then replied, "He doesn't know."

For the first time, Huo Xiangzhen realized how messed up the relationship was.With both elbows resting on the armrests of the chair, he bowed his head for a long time without speaking, and finally raised his hands and rubbed his face, he murmured to himself in a low voice: "What is this?"

Bai Mani sipped the porridge dully, thinking to himself that all these things in the world have cause and effect, and since they are self-inflicted, they have nothing to say.But how can we get rid of Lian Yi?There must be a way, it's up to people to do it, maybe Ziming can help?Ziming is naturally a bit of an eyesore when he sees himself, but who knows if he dares to fight Lian Yi?Hard to say, really hard to say.Ziming was in Anyang, so he had to discuss this matter with him face to face in secret.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Bai Mani felt that his opium addiction was about to explode, so he frantically wanted to go back to Lian Yi's side.Huo Xiangzhen knew about his heart disease, and the family never prepared smoke and soil, so he had no choice but to send a car to take him away.

After Bai Mani left, he sat alone in the dining room, feeling that his love this time was very different from the last time.When we are in a good mood, it is good, there is no bickering, no suspicion, and even misunderstandings are rare; but with Mani, there is no guarantee, as sweet as it can be, it can be as painful as it is.He can't control his younger brother now, and it's even the younger brother who is controlling him.

Bai Mani went back to Lian Yi's residence.After getting out of the car and entering the gate, he quietly walked into the living room by himself without disturbing others.

In the living room, he saw Lian Yi.

Lian Yi was sitting alone on the big sofa in the circle, smoking a cigarette with his head down expressionless.He was originally a small man, but when he sat in the middle of the sofa, he looked even smaller.Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Lian Yi raised his head, nodded and smiled at him.

Bai Mani endured his addiction, and walked up to him step by step.There was a large ashtray on the coffee table, which was already full of cigarette butts.When Bai Mani saw it, he asked, "What are you doing?"

Lian Yi thought for a while, then replied, "Wait for you."

Bai Mani didn't smile: "Afraid I won't come back?"

Lian Yi leaned back and raised his legs: "Yes."

Bai Mani asked again: "I'm not coming back, what will you do?"

Lian Yi raised his hand and stroked his shiny back, and replied with a smile: "What can I do? I'll go back to Anyang and send troops to beat him up!"

Bai Mani supported the sofa to stand firm, and continued to ask: "Who hit?"

Lian Yi shook his legs triumphantly: "I will beat whoever robs you."

Bai Mani looked at him and the whole vat of cigarette butts silently, and the feeling in his heart was not love, but pity.Lian Yi has grown old this year, but he still insists on refusing to obey the old. Of course he can't obey the old. A lonely family, who will he rely on when he gets old?Ziming?People's hearts are separated by belly, who knows whether Ziming can be relied on.

Bai Mani thinks that the only person in the world who thinks Lian Yi is pitiful is probably himself.Poor and terrible.It's a pity that I can't keep it, and one day, I will definitely leave.I hope that when the time comes, we will have a better walk and leave some memories and dignity for each other.
