[End Times] The Road to Blood Painted

During the period, he was required to study again. Apart from odd jobs, the family hardly had any income.

As an older brother, Yuan Ting always wanted to give the best to his younger brother, so even if there was only a bite of bread left in the house, he would give it to his younger brother when he was hungry, and lied to him that he had already eaten it, a little Not hungry.

Because of the lack of income all year round, Yuan Ting's body is actually not very well developed.Compared with his peers, he is very thin, and he has inherited the Asian part of his parents' genotype. Unlike his younger brother who looks European and American, he is white and thin, and he can even touch the sudden from the bones.

Thinking about that period now, it was actually pretty miserable.But at that time, Yuan Ting didn't think so much. Apart from completing his studies, what he thought about every day was how to earn more money and buy more food for his younger brother and mother.

In those years, my mother didn't eat much, but she was not in good health and often needed to buy medicine.Yuan Ting knew that if the drug was stopped, his mother would probably not live long, so he hardly dared to touch his father's insurance money, even if he was dizzy from hunger, he dared not take out a dollar to buy a hamburger.He must save all the money to buy medicine for his mother so that she can recover as soon as possible.

But in the end, he still failed to keep his mother.After struggling for three years, Yuan Terror's mother finally left.When she left, the family had very little money left.The two-story building they lived in was taken back by the bank because of their father's death and lost their income.For a long time, they could only squeeze into the small rented room, worrying about the monthly rent.

Yuan Terror was in high school at that time, and the huge pressure of life made it almost impossible for him to continue.He thought about quitting school and finding a full-time job to improve the family income.This is actually a bit of a pity, because his academic performance has always been very good, even under such circumstances, his grades are still among the best in the whole year.The teachers all believed that he would definitely be admitted to an Ivy League school, choose a promising major, find a decent job after graduation, and find a job for himself in the United States, a country full of discrimination against people of color. respect.

Yuan Ting originally thought that he would follow the same path as his father, study hard, get admitted to university, and find a good job after graduation. Everything seems to be fine.

But after his father died, his future has completely turned into another picture, full of uncertainty, haze everywhere, and almost no sunshine of hope.

He was in high school at that time, and he already felt powerless.Not academically, but financially.It is difficult for him to imagine where the tuition fees will come from if he goes to college.Although you can get a loan, you have to spend money on everything for food and clothing.If he goes to school, it means that the family not only has no income, but has to take money from outside.

So he decided not to study after finishing high school, and it is better to enter the society sooner or later.Unexpectedly, his younger brother moved faster than him. At that time, Malcolm and he were in the same middle school and were in the 11th grade. Apart from fighting and absenteeism every day, Malcolm was basically like a delinquent boy.

At that time, Yuan Ting was often called to the office by the teacher to lecture him, telling him to watch his younger brother carefully and not let him get into trouble again.The teachers knew that his father had died in that fire at Vikana, his mother was seriously ill and nearly dying, and there was no one else in the family to call the shots but him.

But Yuan Ting was only young at that time, and he couldn't care so much at all. When his younger brother was rebelling, he didn't listen to him at all.Until one day, my younger brother suddenly dropped out of school without even saying hello, and disappeared for several days in a row.

At that time, Yuan Ting only felt that he was going crazy. After three days and three nights of searching all over the world, he finally found his younger brother in a dilapidated rental house.At that time, he was gambling with a bunch of cronies, and he didn’t feel embarrassed when he saw him. Instead, he pulled him aside with a mysterious face, saying that a friend introduced him to a good way to make money, and he planned to do it well after dropping out of school. Business, earn a lot of money for family use.

Yuan Terror could hardly believe his ears. He didn't even need to listen to it to know what the so-called money-making method was.As soon as he walked into the rental house, he smelled a strong smell of marijuana.At first glance, these people seem to be working in this local underworld. The money-making methods they introduced to Yuan Jing are probably related to drugs.Like selling ecstasy to people in bars or something.This kind of business does bring in money quickly, but people will degenerate faster. Before long, my younger brother will be like those people in the rented house, living on drugs all day long, in hallucinations, and his body suffers great damage. damage.In the end, he died either from drugs or from someone else's bullets, and almost never ended well.

The pressure accumulated over the past few years finally broke out completely at that moment, and Yuan Ting even felt that he was already crazy at that time.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

That day, Yuan Ting talked a lot, as if he wanted to express all the anguish accumulated in his heart for a long time.It was about early morning when the two of them went to bed, and it was daylight when he finally finished his story.

When he mentioned the contest between himself and his younger brother, he couldn't help laughing bitterly: "Malcolm has probably never seen such a

I, he probably thought, was the one who would never lose his temper.He will tolerate any big or small troubles he makes, and even watch him become a drug dealer. "

But he was wrong, Yuan Ting looked soft, but he was actually very tough.Once he has made up his mind to do something, no one can stop him.Even guys like Lance McMillan couldn't stop him, Yuan Jing was not his opponent at all.

At that time, after Yuan Ting listened to his younger brother's elated description, he remained silent for a long time without saying a word.Then he suddenly rushed into the house and snatched a young man's gun from his waist while the gang was not looking.Then he put the gun on his younger brother's forehead, and when everyone was too shocked and didn't know what to do, he escorted his younger brother home.

Their home is not far from that area, poor people always live together, it is a typical slum, there are all kinds of people.

So when Yuan Ting put a gun on his younger brother's waist and escorted him all the way back, the passers-by did nothing but whistle and make jokes.They probably thought that there was some conflict between the Easterner and the Westerner, and now it was up to bullets to decide the outcome.

When Yuan Terror was holding the gun, he was actually in an unconscious state.He couldn't even recall how he snatched the gun, and how he used it all the way to threaten his brother to go home with him.

He just remembered that when he got home, he swung his fist without saying a word, and beat his younger brother half to death with all his strength.

At that time, his mother had passed away, and only the two brothers were left in the family. The neighbors were all indifferent and self-absorbed people. Even if he killed his brother in that house, no one would care.The lives of the poor are always worthless, and Yuan Terror has long realized this.

In this beating, he really didn't hold back, and almost vented all the grievances and pain he had suffered in the past few years.When his father just passed away, he was too busy to cry because he had to support the family.Later, when his mother died, he felt as if he had become numb, and whether he cried or not was no longer important.

But that day, he suddenly lost control. After beating his younger brother, he sat silently on the sofa, holding his face and crying for a long, long time.My younger brother was beaten badly by him and could hardly stand up, but he was so shocked by his appearance that he didn't dare to say anything, but just stayed by his side, squatting at his feet, and even hugged him in the end Weep together.

They didn't return the gun to the little gangster, who was probably frightened by Yuan Terror's fierce eyes at that time, thinking that he had offended some desperate guy.You must know that they had some influence in this area at that time, and most people would hide away when they saw them. Not only did this person not hide, he even dared to grab a gun directly, and even threatened that person and others with his head. Walk.This kind of courage and ferocity calmed down everyone at once.

They didn't know that it was Malcolm's younger brother, because the two brothers really didn't look alike, and if they didn't tell them, they wouldn't be able to tell that they were brothers from the same mother.

The drug-trafficking business was so settled, Yuan Jing didn't fool around with those people anymore, but he didn't go back to school either.He really didn't like studying, and his grades were also poor. Yuan Ting felt that it was pointless to force him to continue studying, so he allowed him to drop out of school, found a job in a nearby convenience store, and continued working part-time by himself. studies.

During that time, their family’s financial situation improved slightly. Although the money left by their father was almost spent, it was still enough for them to rent a house for a year. Life is barely maintained.

After graduating from high school, Yuan Ting really didn't go to further school. Although he took the university entrance exam and got very good grades, he didn't go to school after thinking twice.brother has been encouraging him
