Catch the wind

Ye Xueshan got off the train in the evening, and he thought the train was express, but he didn't know that he stopped and stopped all the way, and he didn't arrive at the station until midnight.After getting off the train with his suitcase, he felt a little embarrassed as he walked out of the station, because it was obviously inappropriate to go to Gu's house at this time.Gu Xiongfei has a bad temper, especially if he is not used to him. He came to the door late at night like a thief, and the other party found out at dawn, which may become another crime—the two brothers met in Tianjin the year before last, so Gu Xiongfei did it in front of Mr. Gu. Ever scolded him for being "inhuman"?

Ye Xueshan thinks he is quite human, so after receiving such a scolding, he always keeps it in his heart.It's not that I want to hold grudges, but that I simply can't figure it out, and I don't understand where I am in the eyes.

Ye Xueshan was not very familiar with the roads in Beijing, so he managed to stop a rickshaw, but he couldn't tell where he was going, only that he wanted to stay in a hotel.The coachman pulled him up and ran away without saying a word, and ended up sending him to a very bad hotel.Sitting in the car, he looked up and saw that the old house was crumbling and dark, like a ghost cave; he wanted the coachman to change to another house, but the coachman tried his best to sell this place.As soon as he heard the driver's words were wrong, he immediately stayed in the car and directly reported the address of Gu's house.

Seeing that his purpose was clear this time, the coachman naturally had nothing to say, and sent him to the gate of Gu's house smoothly all the way.At midnight, when everything is still, he is alone when the coachman leaves.He stood hesitantly for a while, knowing that there was no reason to eat and sleep in the open, so he bit the bullet and sighed, intending to go up and call the door.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a car suddenly drove into the alley, and the headlights of the car were bright, immediately illuminating him with nowhere to hide.And he watched the car slowly stop in front of him, and when the door opened, Gu Xiongfei jumped down.

Gu Xiongfei is tall and burly, and he wears a military uniform very mighty.Standing in front of Ye Xueshan with his hands behind his back, he slowly frowned his thick eyebrows, as if seeing a monster.And Ye Xueshan bowed slightly while carrying the box, and called softly like a little boy: "Brother, I'm here."

Gu Xiongfei sucked in a breath like a toothache, tilted his head and continued to look at him: "Why are you here?"

Ye Xueshan smiled: "You haven't been to Tianjin for a while, I'll come and see you."

Gu Xiongfei also smiled, and under the light of the car lights, his face became more and more chiseled: "You tell the truth!"

Ye Xueshan bowed slightly, and said sincerely and humbly: "Brother, I really see you coming."

Gu Xiongfei raised his hand and pointed at the entrance of the alley: "If you don't tell the truth, get lost."

Ye Xueshan immediately stood up and recovered his original form: "I have no money."

Gu Xiongfei nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Does this have anything to do with me? Do I owe you?"

Once Ye Xueshan was at a disadvantage, he would not speak.The two were relatively silent for a long time, at last Gu Xiongfei raised his head, turned around and walked towards the gate.Ye Xueshan followed quickly, and followed him across the threshold of Gu's residence.

The gate of Gu's house is simple, but the inside is unique. After entering the double courtyard gate, you can see a western-style high-rise building in front of you.This building is Gu Xiongfei's daily living place, and there is a vast scenery behind the building, but the night is dark at this moment, and it is just a black shadow with ups and downs in the past.Gu Xiongfei entered the living room downstairs and didn't let anyone in. He sat down on the sofa first, and then put two feet wearing long riding boots on the low coffee table.Ye Xueshan stood aside in embarrassment, he would be scolded if he spoke, but it would be wrong not to speak.In the end, he saw Gu Xiongfei crookedly taking out a flat Saiyin cigarette case from his trouser pocket, he regained his vitality, took out his lighter and walked forward, bent down to light a cigarette for Gu Xiongfei.

Gu Xiongfei glanced at him, and said aggressively: "I heard that you spent a lot of money in Tianjin, is there such a thing?"

Ye Xueshan leaned over and sat down beside him.Picking up the Saiyin cigarette case casually, he fiddled with it slowly, while lowering his head and replied: "Brother, with my wealth, even if I want to squander it to the point of being unbearable, I will be powerless."

Gu Xiongfei sneered: "With your wealth, you should be begging long ago, who knows what you are doing!"

The cigarettes in the cigarette case were not evenly aligned, they were put in casually.Ye Xueshan rearranged the ends of the cigarettes in one direction, doing it conscientiously, without blinking.Gu Xiongfei squinted his eyes to examine his profile, and saw that his short hair was disheveled, his face was fair, his nose was straight, and he had a very cute appearance.

Ye Xueshan noticed his gaze, but insisted on finishing the work at hand, because he didn't think about the next step.Of course the elder brother is not easy to talk, if the elder brother is easy to talk, he wouldn't have come here until now.In the end, he closed the lid of the box absent-mindedly, turned around and sent the cigarette box back to Gu Xiongfei, and smiled slightly to meet the other's gaze, with faint dimples on both sides of his mouth.

While staring at him, Gu Xiongfei stretched out his hand to pick up the cigarette case, but ended up holding both the case and the hand.Ye Xueshan's slap was soft and hot, reminding Gu Xiongfei of a sick child lingering on the bed, always suffering from low fever, no one cares about him, but he won't die.

Ye Xueshan caught a hint of warmth in his eyes, and smiled quickly: "Brother, please help me. I just ask you to find me a job. Even if you want me to change my mind, you have to give me a chance to start."

Gu Xiongfei put down his legs, leaned over and flicked the ashtray into the ashtray on the coffee table. In fact, he didn't want to provoke Ye Xueshan, because after all, this kid has his father's blood, but he didn't recognize his ancestors; such a relationship is the most troublesome. If you are not careful, accidents will happen; but if you really want to drive him back to Tianjin, you can't bear it.Why can't you bear it?Can't tell either.He always felt that Ye Xueshan's health was not very good, and he was lonely and had no relatives, which was pitiful.I really want to shake his hand again, but it's not good to shake hands for no reason, forget it, don't shake hands.

"It's a good thing to want to make progress." He said in a cloudy voice, "Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say."

When Ye Xueshan heard this, he couldn't wait to laugh from the bottom of his heart—he had a way out again!

The servant picked up the small suitcase and led Ye Xueshan upstairs into the guest room.As soon as Ye Xueshan left Gu Xiongfei, his energy and spirit came up.He took out five yuan from his trouser pocket and threw it to the servant. He said casually, "Thank you for your hard work. Please bring me some more food."

The servant was very dissatisfied after staying up all night, but when he saw the banknotes, he grinned happily and bowed before speaking: "Master Ye, there is no one in the kitchen at night, there is no hot food, can snacks be made? Or I will give you Light a wine stove and cook some rice porridge."

Ye Xueshan thought for a while, then asked: "Do you have sandwich bread?"

The servant replied, "There must be."

Ye Xueshan went to the bed and sat down, bent over to untie his shoelaces, and said, "Then let's have sandwich bread!"

The servant brought bread and hot tea in lightly, then closed the door and quietly retreated.Ye Xueshan was not in a hurry to eat, and took off his shoes and socks.The socks of a young bachelor don't smell nice, of course.He threw the socks into the corner of the room with his slippers on, went to wash his hands again, and then sat back on the bed and picked up a piece of bread.There is nothing to ask for at night, but the bread is still fresh, with rich butter sandwiched inside.Ye Xueshan opened his mouth wide and took a bite, and began to chew comfortably.

Gu Zhai's kitchen is divided into Chinese and western parts. The cooks in the western part are skilled, while Ye Xueshan is more gluttonous. Last year, he had a few good meals, which he never forgot.After a while, he stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, and at the same time breathed out through his nostrils, and let out a rather ecstatic "um...".

Pulling the corner of the sheet to wipe his hands, he held a cup of hot tea and began to study the new pocket watch Wu Bicheng gave him.The pocket watch is made in Switzerland, with a platinum case, it is naturally decent to hang on the body, and it is probably worth a few dollars if it is sold.Ye Xueshan concentrated on playing with his watch, and at the same time, he didn't think of Wu Bicheng at all—he was born heartless, and he had never tasted the feeling of missing him in his life.

After drinking enough tea and playing with watches, he washed and changed his clothes and got into bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep without choosing a table.

The next morning, he got up early, first to show his determination to make progress, and second, to have an exquisite breakfast.Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Gu Xiongfei fell asleep.At noon, Gu Xiongfei went downstairs to see him in good spirits. He was sitting alone on the couch, already falling asleep and dozing off.Perhaps because of the wrong posture, he couldn't breathe well in his sleep, and he always seemed to be snoring.Gu Xiongfei bent down in front of him, and stretched out his hand to straighten him up, but he suddenly woke up as soon as his hands touched him.

After waking up, he stared at Gu Xiongfei with wide eyes in a daze: "Hey, big brother?"

Gu Xiongfei straightened up, because he didn't want to go out today, so he changed into a long shirt.Looking down at Ye Xueshan, he asked in an old-fashioned way: "Do you have any plans to go to any Yamen?"

Ye Xueshan stood up, dressed neatly, and the short hair on the back of his head was messed up like a bird's nest: "Brother, of course the fatter the yamen, the better, salt and transportation are fine."

Gu Xiongfei nodded, and then gave him a sideways glance: "Go up and comb your hair, you don't look like a human being!"
