his robbery

The night before Huo Yunpu left Chengde, he spent the night guarding three women and one man on the grassland of Mulan Paddock, causing all four living people to die under his body.This achievement makes him very proud, because he is indeed a certain age, five or sixty years old, and he is already a complete old man, but he is not only not old, but also lively, worthy of Lian Yi's sentence "" The dragon is fine and the tiger is fierce."

Like an old boy, he swaggered back to Beijing, but as soon as he entered the gate of the Huo Mansion, he blocked the assholes in the house head-on.Huo Xiangzhen tied an iron ring to the branch of an old tree, and was bouncing around while patting a basketball under the tree.Seeing his father coming back suddenly, he seemed to be taken aback, and immediately stood at attention with the basketball in his hand: "Dad."

Huo Yunpu stopped in his tracks and began to frown at the old man in front of him.This is really his own son. He was printed out of the same mold as him. Except for his big double eyelids and dimples, the rest of the features are all available. Although he has just turned 15 years old, he has already grown tall. The big man with one head was not a young man no matter what he looked at.Huo Yunpu never treated him like a child, ever since he was born, he has been urging him to push him, watching him control him, wishing he could turn him into a real dragon emperor with a whip.Although Huo Xiangzhen was only 15 years old, he had already arranged for him to join the Military Supply Department and began to learn how to manage guns and ammunition.

It is not enough to be ruthless to produce a filial son under the stick, especially Huo Yunpu does not only want a filial son.At his age, he didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that he had stopped here, and there would be no big waves going forward, so he put all his hopes on his son.He himself is a playful person, and he asked himself, he has missed many important things in playing all his life, so he absolutely does not allow his son to repeat his mistakes.At this moment, he looked his son up and down, and he said with a sullen face: "What are you doing?"

Huo Xiangzhen stood upright, bowed her head and replied, "My son is...playing ball."

Huo Yunpu continued to ask with a sullen face, "I asked you to go to Tianjin to hold the gun, did you go?"

Huo Xiangzhen's body remained motionless, standing like a javelin: "Go, the rifle has been escorted back to the camp outside the city."

Hearing this, Huo Yunpu didn't find fault with his son, and couldn't help itching in his heart, as if his father's dignity had been offended.His gaze was fixed on the basketball in Huo Xiangzhen's hand, and he spoke again: "If you can't take it easy, wielding knives and guns can be regarded as a skill, why don't you throw a ball every day? If you have this skill, you won't go to the camp Do you practice marksmanship? Do you know how to use the foreign guns that you have brought back from your custody? I have laid down the world for you. How are you? You can shoot balls at home! Based on what you have done, do I dare to pass on the family fortune to you? It’s better to give it to Hirakawa than to you!”

After saying this, he snatched the basketball with his hands, turned around and swung his arms, throwing the basketball thousands of miles away.Huo Xiangzhen looked up at the basketball, then lowered his head again, with his hands hanging down without saying a word.

Huo Yunpu threw the basketball, turned around and pointed at the tip of Huo Xiangzhen's nose with his index finger: "If you don't learn well, you'll just beg for food in the future!"

Huo Xiangzhen bowed slightly: "Father calm down, my son will not dare to play in the future."

Huo Yunpu strode forward and wanted to leave, but just as he raised one foot, he suddenly discovered the situation again.Sniffing and inhaling in all directions, he turned directly in front of Huo Xiangzhen this time.Huo Xiangzhen was also dressed in a shirt and trousers. He picked up Huo Xiangzhen's shirt collar with one hand, bowed his head and sniffed from the collar.When he smelled the small pocket on his chest, he straightened his waist and raised his chin: "What?"

Huo Xiangzhen blushed suddenly, closed her mouth tightly and said nothing.So Huo Yunpu did it himself, using two fingers to force a small flat cardboard box out of his pocket.He didn't know what was in the small paper box, but he saw a beautiful woman's head printed on the surface of the paper box in various colors, next to the beautiful woman's head was a string of flowery foreign characters, and it smelled fragrant, definitely not something that a man should wear .

Sending the small paper box all the way to Huo Xiangzhen's eyes, Huo Yunpu asked condescendingly: "Tell me, what is this?"

Huo Xiangzhen blushed, faltering and refusing to speak.Huo Yunpu dislikes a man's twitching the most, and now seeing his behavior, he raised his hand in anger and said, "You bastard, talk to me!"

Just at this time, a half-grown child came running from afar, it was Ma Congrong, the son of the head steward.Huo Yunpu caught him with a glance, and immediately yelled at him: "Second boy, come here! Tell me, what's wrong with this bastard?"

Although Ma Congrong was the son of a servant, the servants were also divided into ranks, and he combed his hair and wore a small robe. He was indeed richer and more dignified than ordinary young masters.Walking in front of Huo Yunpu with a smile, he tiptoed to look at the other person's hand first, and then said with a smile: "You have wronged the young master, this is the Japanese pink paper that the young master bought from Tianjin." Speaking of which, he patted His own fair and clean face: "There are no things for face-washing in Beijing. The young master bought them for the eldest lady of the Bai family."

Huo Yunpu is well versed in the principle of "a knife on the head of color", so he gets nervous when he sees this colorful thing.Now that he heard Ma Congrong's words, it was reasonable, and his anger gradually dissipated, but he still wanted to, because no matter what, his son was putting his heart into it after all, which is not a good sign.It's a good thing that the relationship between the son and Miss Bai is good, but if it's so good that day and night it delays the work, then it's time to fight!

Shaking the small flat paper box in front of Huo Xiangzhen, Huo Yunpu's tone softened a bit: "Things who are not doing business properly, they have learned how to flatter. If you get some pollen, go to Bai's house to give gifts. You don't mind it." Shabby! Let me tell you, the reason why the Bai family is willing to marry our family is because of your grandfather's reputation and your father's face! If you have no future, even if the Bai family doesn't care about you, your father can't afford to lose this people!"

After saying this, he threw the small flat cardboard box at Huo Xiangzhen's face: "Let me see you playing with these girl things again, and I'll beat you to death!"

After the words fell, he felt very happy. He said everything that should be said, and fulfilled his strict father's responsibility.And after he walked away with his hands behind his back, Ma Congrong bent down to pick up the small flat paper box, and raised his hand to pass it in front of Huo Xiangzhen - Huo Xiangzhen was only two or three years older than him, but taller than him by a lot, isn't it? He is short because Huo Xiangzhen is too tall.

He raised his hand for a long time, but Huo Xiangzhen was like a wooden sculpture of clay, just standing upright, as if he couldn't even breathe, with a few clear finger marks protruding from one cheek.Ma Congrong knew that he had been wronged and couldn't say anything, so he could only be angry with himself, so he pulled his hand down and stuffed the flat paper box into his palm: "Young master, don't be angry , you wait, I'll pick up the basketball for you."

Huo Xiangzhen remained expressionless, but slowly closed his fingers, and squeezed the small flat paper box into a twisted ball.Suddenly he threw this bunch of little things down hard, and then he turned his head and left: "Don't pick it up, I won't play with it again."

Ma Congrong stood still and did not chase him.When he was far away, Ma Congrong bent down to pick up the ball of cardboard boxes, flattened and tore off the seal, and pulled out a stack of small water-red papers from inside.This piece of paper was sprinkled with a layer of fine powder, and the fragrance was better than any perfume.Ma Congrong sniffed its fragrance gently, while bouncing around and playing by himself.

Huo Yunpu returned to his home and began to deal with the mountainous business affairs.The warlord's yamen had a few days off, but now it is busy again.The division commanders and brigade commanders who lead the troops are still at leisure because they don't have to stay in the battalion to train troops in person.Lian Yi has houses in both Beijing and Tianjin, but he has houses but no homes.And since he returned to Beijing with Huo Yunpu, he stayed in Beijing temporarily.

For two years he smoked opium.Huo Yunpu hated opium ghosts the most. Actually, he didn't have to smoke opium, but as if he wanted to fight against Huo Yunpu, he took it uprightly. While smoking, he waited for Huo Yunpu to question him.Huo Yunpu sometimes loses his temper, and will punch and kick his subordinates.He felt uncomfortable in his heart, as well as his body, wishing he could be beaten half to death by Huo Yunpu, or completely dead.

But Huo Yunpu only lightly reprimanded him a few words, and he waited in vain again.

He is not afraid of being busy, but only afraid of being idle. Once he is idle, all the past things will come, one after another, and he will be disturbed in his heart.He stayed behind closed doors at his home in Beijing for three days. On the fourth day, he went out and began to walk around with his hands behind his back, and he reached Bada Hutong within a short walk.At sunset, the alleys are brightly lit, and bright red lanterns and glass plaques are hung on the doors of every house.When Lian Yi came here, he didn't want to prostitute, he just wanted to have fun. After all, the girls listened to every sentence, and the adjutants and orderlies at home couldn't explain their words and joked at him like a flower.In a northern team, he temporarily sat down.Seeing that he is a military master with guards, the bustard mother naturally complimented him very much.The two girls entered the room and chatted with him one by one, laughing and laughing.

Lian Yi was usually among his colleagues, because they all knew that he "likes men" and was also clingy to Huo Yunpu, so he couldn't tell when he would be squeezed out, like a sniper, hard to guard against.Fortunately, he was really capable and worked hard, so he managed to become a teacher.The teacher is not something that ordinary people dare to offend easily, but there are also some stunned young people who are not up or down, such as An Rushan, who suddenly said something in the Mulan paddock, which made him breathless for a long time.

He doesn't care, at least on the surface.He used to have a temper, but now his temper is getting worn out day by day.Shameless and skinless, he laughs at anyone who says he is happy, and he doesn't know why he is so happy.When it really came to the point where he couldn't bear it any longer, he would move the gun directly, his hands were quick, and the gun had already fired before his smile retreated.It may also be that there is resentment in his heart, premeditated for a long time, and he has always wanted to kill, but he doesn't even know it.

It is safe among the pink bushes, and the girls only speak softly and flatteringly to him.He was lying on the couch smoking opium, and the two girls were leaning on one side, pushing each other and singing ditties with smiles on their faces.His eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and he saw that the girls were all little girls, and his rouged face was flushed.Young, smooth-skinned, with his face painted like a monkey's butt, he doesn't look ugly.

Then, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, realizing for the first time that he was in his thirties this year, not young anymore, but also getting old.

At midnight, he returned home.

There is a [-]-year-old and a half-year-old child in the family, named Li Ziming, who was dragged out of the dead by him back then.This child has long hands and long legs since he was a child, and everyone said that he will be a big man in the future. After growing up with delicious food and drink by Lian Yi's side all these years, he did not live up to everyone's expectations. I didn't get fat from eating, only hard tendon meat.

He lost his parents when he was young, and he died once again, so his personality is different.Although no one has ever bullied him since he came to Lian Yi's side, he has grown into a gloomy gourd on his own, occasionally glancing at people with eyes like a falcon.He was loyal to Lian Yi, knowing that Lian Yi would go home at midnight, he sat by the bed and waited until midnight.Seeing that Lian Yizhen came back, he didn't say anything, and went out to return hot water towels.Putting the copper basin on the basin shelf, he took a towel and wanted to urge Lian Yi to come over to wash up, but when he turned around, he found that Lian Yi was sitting upright in front of the dressing table, staring at the mirror in a daze.

The mirror is a clear glass mirror, and there is an electric light hanging in the room, which is also bright.Lian Yi poked his head forward slightly, and observed himself carefully. At the end, he found out in panic that he was really not young anymore.At least, not so young.

But he can't grow old, he has only experienced one hopeless unrequited love in more than 30 years, and he always seems to have not really started to live.

Putting one hand on the dressing table, he asked softly without looking back: "Ziming, have I grown old this year?"

Li Ziming put the towel on his shoulders, and told him concisely: "No."

It's not a lie, it's true.A small man with thin skin and tender flesh like him always looks the same, and he is not yet old.

After hearing this, Lian Yi didn't believe it.Fumbling to pull out the small drawer under the mirror, he took out a bottle of cream from it.Suddenly he was confused again, and he didn't know whether he was a man or a woman. He took a finger of the cream and put it in the palm of his hand, clasped his hands together and rubbed it, and then began to smear it all over his face.His face was originally pale, but it turned blood red when he rubbed it.

This time he put his hands down and looked again, his face was indeed rosy and bright.The room was filled with a faint fragrance, he stretched his hands and patted the dressing table, and smiled at the mirror as if he had survived a catastrophe.

Then, he found Li Ziming in the mirror.

Li Ziming has been staring at him from behind, but he met Li Ziming's gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Li Ziming replied softly: "Look at you."

Lian Yi became interested: "What are you looking at me for?"

Li Ziming hung his hands while holding the towel, and at the same time replied blankly: "You look beautiful."

After hearing this, Lian Yi suspected that Li Ziming was mocking him.He waved to Li Ziming sideways, and he said, "Come here!"

Li Ziming walked over, still clutching the big towel in both hands.Stopping in front of Lian Yi, he remained motionless with a cold face.And Lian Yi examined him from top to bottom, and then pulled the big towel he was blocking in front of him.In warm weather, Li Ziming only wore a pair of thin silk trousers, without the cover of a large towel, his tent was exposed to the electric light.

Lian Yi was taken aback, turned his face and looked up, and found for the first time that Li Ziming was no longer a kid, but had grown into a man.And Li Ziming lowered his eyes condescendingly, his face was a little red, but not too red.

He gripped the thing through his trousers and jerked it out, causing Li Ziming to shiver.Usually when he is with Huo Yunpu, he is always the one who trembles, he knows what it feels like to tremble silently.

Standing up with one hand on the back of the chair, he began to unbutton his military uniform.Men and women in the world are not dead, if they can't get Huo Yunpu, he can find others, many, many people - many, many people together should be worth a Huo Yunpu.

If it is still not enough, he will search again, as much as he can find.

He took off his military jacket, his shirt, his belt, and his trousers.After standing up, he realized that Li Ziming was already half a head taller than him. Tall is good, he likes tall ones.

Standing naked in front of Li Ziming, he raised his hand and pulled the back of Li Ziming's head down, and kissed him on the lips.Turning his face away after the kiss, he felt bored—it was boring to look at such a big person, but he still smelled like a child.

However, Li Ziming cupped his face with both hands, bowed his head and kissed him as if he had learned without a teacher.The boy's lips and tongue were soft, with a reckless strength in the softness.Li Ziming pressed forward, while Lian Yi retreated.The two of them staggered and retreated to the side of the bed, and then fell down together in a hurry.Li Ziming tore and took off his underwear.Holding Lian Yi in his arms, he raised his head and suddenly sighed.

This sigh was hoarse and heavy, as if it had been depressed for hundreds of years.Then he lowered his head and sniffed Lian Yi's face, and went straight to the point.

After the matter was over, Li Ziming twisted a towel and wiped it for Lian Yi.

Then he sat by the bed and wanted to put on his clothes and go back to his room.Unexpectedly, Lian Yi suddenly said: "Don't go, let's sleep together."

Li Ziming was startled, looked back at him again, and then took off his half-dressed pants again.After turning off the light and going to bed, he lay on his back next to Lian Yi, feeling very calm in his heart, feeling like a husband.

He didn't know that Lian Yi just couldn't stand loneliness.When he is lonely, he wants to think wildly, and there are more people around him, and there is more heat, as if it can occupy his heart, he can sleep peacefully.
