his robbery

Huo Xiangzhen leaned against the door frame and sat on the porch outside the door, with a letter from China just received on his lap.There are two pieces of letter paper in total, with horizontal and vertical square characters written in rose-purple ink.Bai Mani's handwriting is not like Bai Mani's. The handwriting is too straight, and it is big with arms and legs, like a hero's handwriting. Occasionally, a few strokes are crooked, and he is also a hero with drunkenness.

Tokyo has just entered the rainy season. It turned out that Huo Xiangzhen didn't know what a rainy season was. This time, he knew it. It turned out that it was raining non-stop. It didn't clear up from morning to night, and the air could squeeze out water.

He was getting ready to take a bath when he received the letter.After receiving the letter and putting it away, he still insisted on taking a hot bath.Ma Congrong waited on him, shaved his hair and cut his nails, cleaned his ears with a small cotton swab, and rubbed his back with a large towel. His movements were slow and meticulous. Normally, he would be impatient. There, instead, he became more patient, as if he was bathing and changing clothes before a big ceremony, his mood was almost solemn and pious.

Then, wearing a cotton bathrobe with blue background and white flowers, he walked to the porch outside the door and sat down. He slowly tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.I read very slowly, word by word, line by line.After looking at it for a while, he turned his head to look at the scenery in the courtyard. There was no good scenery in the courtyard, only a few ordinary flowers and plants were planted, and there was another cherry blossom tree that had passed its flowering period.As if he couldn't read anymore, he had to rest while looking at the flowers, plants and trees before continuing to read.

I can't read anymore, and I dare not read.Sitting under the hazy sky, he actually knew everything in his heart.But as long as you don't finish reading it, there still seems to be hope for turning around.He kept this point and hoped to see the flowers, the grass, and the sky. After seeing the flowers, grass, and sky, he lowered his head and continued to read the letter.

At the end of the letter, there is only a period.He looked down, looking for the long fork, but there was no one on the bottom. He turned it over and looked at the back, and there was no one on the back either.I can't find it no matter how hard I look, it seems that it really doesn't exist.

Putting the two pieces of letterhead together and putting them in the envelope with no expression on his face, he raised his head and looked out, and saw that the sky and the earth were dark and the flowers and plants were withered.

At this time, Ma Congrong came out.

Ma Congrong took a bath with the hot water left over from Huo Xiangzhen's washing, and after getting out of the bath, he also put on a Japanese-style yukata loosely. His skin was so white that he looked like a porcelain figure.Walking barefoot on the wooden floor, he only showed two patches of pink on the heel.

Walking to the verandah and sitting on the floor, he moved Huo Xiangzhen's foot into his arms, and gently polished the newly trimmed toenails with a small file.Since arriving in Japan, he has been alone at home and outside the house. After more than two years of idleness, he is finally busy again. He is so busy that he feels comfortable and refreshed.But in his free time, he had a new hobby and started playing with Huo Xiangzhen.Wash him, touch him, coax him, cling to him, somehow, there will be a happy feeling of revenge.But he asked himself, it seems that these years he was at most holding his breath, and he didn't harbor too much hatred in his heart.

Holding Huo Xiangzhen's toes in one hand and a small thin file in the other, he said contentedly, "What did Young Master Bai say in the letter? Why is the uncle not happy?"

Huo Xiangzhen put the envelope beside her, and then replied in a low voice: "He said he won't come."

Ma Congrong looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and laughed in his heart, laughing and laughing.He smiled in his heart, but his face was straight, fair and clean, with nothing but facial features: "Oh? Why?"

Raindrops floated up in the sky without warning, and there was no need to avoid it.Huo Xiangzhen looked up at the sky, and replied after a long time: "He said that he wanted to give Lian Yi his retirement."

His voice was very soft, and he looked exhausted, exhausted, and at a loss: "He treats me with love; he treats Lian Yi with righteousness. There is a dilemma between love and righteousness, and he sacrifices love for righteousness."

Then he turned to Ma Congrong, his eyes were wet and black: "He also said that I can continue to live without him, and Lian Yi is afraid that he will die badly without him. He can't just throw away a life." Throw."

Ma Congrong lowered his head and said lightly, "Master Bai's words are also reasonable. What do you think?"

Huo Xiangzhen turned away again, as if he couldn't face anyone now, not even Ma Congrong.Staring at the cherry blossom tree that has passed its flowering period, his voice trembled a little: "I don't blame him for not following me, I just feel sorry for his being so small...he is so small..."

Ma Congrong didn't think so, but his tone was very soft: "Small? Is Young Master Bai 25 or 26 this year? Not too young. When I was his age, I was your secretary-general."

Having said that, he put down the small file in his hand, and crawled up to Huo Xiangzhen on all fours.Kneeling and sitting upright, he poked his head to look into Huo Xiangzhen's eyes: "Master, it seems that Young Master Bai will definitely not be able to come. I am the only one by your side. Otherwise, you will treat me as Young Master Bai?"

After hearing this, Huo Xiangzhen didn't understand. He looked back at Ma Congrong for a while and thought about it. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to hug Ma Congrong.Ma Congrong straddled his thigh and put his arms around his neck.Huo Xiangzhen still closed her eyes, bent down and pressed her face to his chest.And he lowered his eyes, put one hand on Huo Xiangzhen's shoulder, and stroked the back of Huo Xiangzhen's head with the other.This is really good, but it's not enough. If you can't occupy the uncle at this moment, Ma Congrong thought, then his life is really in vain.

At this moment, Huo Xiangzhen slowly let go of his hand.

Opening his eyes and looking at Ma Congrong, Huo Xiangzhen shook his head and said softly, "No, you are not him."

Then he wanted to push Ma Congrong away, but Ma Congrong hugged him so tightly that he couldn't push him away.

Another week later, Huo Xiangzhen received 5 yuan from Bai Mani.Bai Mani is quite considerate now, knowing that he is a hands-off uncle, and he throws money into Ma Congrong's arms when he has money, and Ma Congrong is greedy, and all the money he gets is his own, so he refuses to give more, for fear of him Soon he was raided by Ma Congrong, and then he fell into the situation of living under the fence.

Huo Xiangzhen took the 5 yuan and was very embarrassed. He couldn't bear to keep it, because he always felt that his younger brother was lonely in Tianjin and had no money; but if he didn't keep it, he really had no money. Although Ma Congrong was eating He didn't treat him badly in terms of clothing, but he felt guilty and often lived his life with courage.Let him reach out to Ma Congrong for pocket money, he will never open his mouth.

When Ma Congrong learned of this, he tried his best to encourage him to remit the money back.A mere 5 yuan is nothing in the eyes of Ma Congrong, so he wants Huo Xiangzhen to return the money, one is to prevent the uncle from becoming independent when he has money, and the other is to let Young Master Bai run into a thorn and retreat in spite of difficulties. From then on, stop writing letters and sending money.Seeing Huo Xiangzhen's hesitation, he mobilized his sharp tongue and explained all kinds of metaphors. However, at the end of the speech, Huo Xiangzhen was unexpectedly unambitious and kept the money.

Huo Xiangzhen decided to cheer up and work hard.My younger brother can support a family and take care of a patient in Tianjin; he is in his prime and has no procrastination, how can he have the face to be dejected and drunk?

When Huo Xiangzhen was in Japan, the first thing he learned to do was to spend money.

He bought a dictionary at the bookstore. He couldn't understand Japanese, but he could understand the price.Holding a handful of banknotes in his hand, he carefully counted out two and handed them to the boss. The boss gave him some coins back, looking up at him while looking for money, because he had never seen such a big man.And Huo Xiangzhen put the banknotes into one trouser pocket and coins into the other trouser pocket, then went out with the dictionary, identified the road by himself, and walked home.

After returning home, he saw Gu Chengxi's letter.

He unfolded the letter and read it. Gu Chengxi also wrote in big characters stretching out his arms and legs, and he didn't know what kind of writing style it was.Huo Xiangzhen didn't have high demands on him, and thought it would be good if he could write down the meaning clearly.

Sitting upright in front of the desk, Huo Xiangzhen unscrewed the pen and, as always, wrote him a reply letter like an official document.

Huo Xiangzhen's replies were all packed by Gu Chengxi into an exquisite small suitcase.He wrote letters frequently, so naturally he received many replies.He learned a lot of things from the letter—for example, Huo Xiangzhen now lives in a Japanese house, which is beautiful, but according to Huo Xiangzhen's description, it is "ventilated from all sides"; besides two entourages, the family hired another The cook, an old Japanese woman in charge of cleaning, doesn't have a car yet, and never travels far because she doesn't know the way.Huo Xiangzhen was learning Japanese, and Ma Congrong was "worthless", unwilling to learn, and would not be able to learn, so he had to learn, otherwise the two of them would be dumb when they went out.

He also knew that Ma Congrong suffered from acute appendicitis at the end of June, and he fell ill at night.Huo Xiangzhen hugged him and "run across five streets", sent him to the hospital, and saved his life.Gu Chengxi feels safe and this is a foolish effort, why run wild for such a weasel?It is enough to hire a car and walk slowly.

However, he changed his mind and thought that if he was the one suffering from the sudden illness, Huo Xiangzhen would also rush to five streets with him in his arms.Silly and safe, silly and silly.

In the middle of summer, Gu Chengxi was in his new house in Tianjin and had nothing to do, so he decided to write another letter to Huo Xiangzhen.Huo Xiangzhen asked him to "read more books" before leaving, and he acted according to his words, and indeed he arranged a large study room for himself. The study room was arranged according to the study room in Huo's residence, and the two walls were covered by the towering bookshelves.The bookshelves are full of books, and he has studied for a long time, and he has not even finished reading one ten-thousandth of them.Hearing that the army commander was going to write a letter, the orderlies shuttled in and out, preparing iced soda and cold watermelon for him.

When the orderlies were busy, an adjutant came in and saw the army commander standing in the corner of the study blowing an electric fan, so he went up and stood at attention: "I have two things to ask the army commander Report."

Gu Chengxi was dressed in military trousers and a shirt. At this moment, he lifted the shirt up to his chest, and the wind was blowing flutteringly: "Say."

The adjutant stood up straight, and said loudly: "The military seat sent Xiao Zhang to Beiping the day before yesterday to deliver the golden lock. Xiao Zhang just came back and said that the golden lock has been delivered. Boss Lin asked him to thank you."

Gu Chengxi nodded, but said nothing.When he arrived in Peiping a few days ago, on a whim, he went to see Xiao Lin.Xiaolin opened a smoky second-hand meat shop, and he himself became a small shopkeeper of oil-stained twists. He also hired two assistants. A son like a mouse.On the day Gu Chengxi went, the red-skinned mouse happened to be full moon, and Xiao Lin specially held it out for him to look at, as if offering a treasure.He has no interest in red-skinned mice. Xiao Lin himself has been working all year round, and he is no longer the cute and cute little boy he used to be.Looking at Xiao Lin and Xiao Lin's son, Gu Chengxi felt a sense of resentment in his heart—if he had been following him, Commander Gu, why would Xiao Lin do this?

But the only thing that comforted him was Kobayashi's attitude towards him.Kobayashi seems to be trying his best to appear cheerful and affectionate, but the two of them often get cold while talking.Xiao Lin's hands and feet seemed to have nowhere to move, and he didn't dare to look him in the eyes.He knew in his heart that Xiao Lin still had feelings for him.If you have feelings, it is unnatural, and the more unnatural, the more you have to pretend to be natural.

Gu Chengxi has no "meaning" towards Xiaolin at all, but he is very happy that Xiaolin still loves him.He stuffed a roll of banknotes into Red Mouse's swaddle, and after returning to Tianjin, he put on a pair of big golden locks and asked his adjutant to deliver them to Xiao Lin.

Turning around and facing the electric fan to dry his back, Gu Chengxi was relaxed and happy, feeling that he had a compassionate heart, and he was very worthy of Xiao Lin.And the adjutant continued: "Also, Captain Pei is here and wants to see you."

Gu Chengxi half-closed his eyes and nodded again, then suddenly realized the problem, and cursed at the orderly: "You bastard, remove the watermelon and cut it up again for me! The piece is so big, do you want to make me eat it? "

The orderly hurriedly took away the watermelon, and within a moment, Pei Haisheng came in with a small piece of watermelon.

Although the weather was hot, Pei Haisheng still dressed meticulously, with a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.With his head held high and chest high, he saluted Gu Chengxi as a soldier, and he said, "Military seat, I'm here to greet you."

Gu Chengxi said "Yes" indifferently, and at the same time flirted with Pei Haisheng.Pei Haisheng's body looks like Huo Xiangzhen at first glance, which is rare, but it's a pity that he is blind in one eye, which is a serious disfigurement.Gu Chengxi knows that this is also a man who loves himself, so he continues to keep him as an errand—it's just an errand, and there is no other use at all. Fortunately, there are plenty of beautiful young people around him, and he is not lacking.

Pei Haisheng's face was neither red nor white, and he lowered his voice and said: "There is nothing going on in Shandong recently. I think the military seat will live in Tianjin for a long time. It's boring to be alone, so I found you a companion. Is the military seat interested?" Have a look?"

Gu Chengxi yawned: "Okay, let's take a look!"

Pei Haisheng walked to the door, waved out, and recruited a young man in a suit.This young man was also tall and tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge. He had a heroic appearance, but his head was lowered, a bit shy.Facing Gu Chengxi, the young man bowed politely, and hummed like a mosquito, "Hello, Commander Gu."

Gu Chengxi sized him up and down, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, not bad, let's stay!"

Pei Haisheng said again: "It doesn't look young, but it's actually only eighteen."

Gu Chengxi put down his shirt and shook, then turned and walked towards the large writing desk: "I don't care about age, it mainly depends on the person. It's good if the person is good. There are those who are young, who don't understand bullshit, and will be coquettish, but annoying."

Pei Haisheng turned to him with a smile: "The military seat is right."

Gu Chengxi sat down behind the desk, picked up the soda bottle and took a sip, then spread a piece of letterhead in front of him, and pressed a corner with a white jade tiger paperweight.With the strong wind blowing from the electric fan, he squinted at the neat spines on the bookshelf. After pondering for a long time, he finally wrote carefully: "My dear Ping An."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first few sentences are the most difficult to write, and they will become fluent after writing.There was no sound inside or outside the study, Pei Haisheng stood beside the electric fan, staring at Gu Chengxi from behind the sunglasses.

Now he doesn't hate Huo Xiangzhen anymore, ever since he knew that in Gu Chengxi's eyes, his eyes and his life are worthless, he doesn't hate Huo Xiangzhen anymore.Why do you hate Huo Xiangzhen?The person he loves is Gu Chengxi, and the person who betrays him is also Gu Chengxi.

It turned out that everything was just for fun, when he was having fun, Gu Chengxi would play with him; he was blind in one eye, and when it was not fun, Gu Chengxi would never look at him again.But Gu Chengxi likes to play, he doesn't like to play; Gu Chengxi has played enough, but he hasn't played enough.Fortunately, the days ahead are long, and he still has one eye that is not blind, so he can still wait and see!

Gu Chengxi was happy to write the letter, and laughed while writing, shaking his head while laughing, and stretched his hand into his shirt to scratch the itch again.

His army is entrenched in Hebei and Shandong, and he has also become a well-known No. [-] army leader. He has people and money, and now, he has peace as far away as Japan.He filled a sheet of letter paper stroke by stroke, and he changed to a second one. He still had a lot to say to Ping An.

He didn't know that in the corner of the room, behind the dark crystal lens, there was an eye staring at him coldly.
