1999

Wu Jiusheng felt like he had had a long and endless dream. When he woke up, right in front of his eyes was Lin Jianhua's face looking at him from top to bottom.

He took a quick breath and retreated instinctively.

He failed, his hands and feet were bound by something unknown, the room was dim, and he couldn't even guess what type of building they were in at the moment.The only thing that is certain is that he is alive and was captured here by Lin Jianhua, and he is not the only one.

Wu Jiusheng struggled excitedly, stretched his neck with all his strength and looked towards the other corner on the diagonal line of the room.

Huda was there, lying on the floor, blowing air out of his nose, his face was dirty and mixed with some dark and dried up unknown liquid, which blocked his vision and made him barely open his eyes. Open one eye to stare at the young man.

He'd just had a good beating, and he'd broken his tongue in the process of biting Pain to death in his mouth.Seeing that the young man woke up, he wanted to say a few words to reduce the panic of the other party, but he brought it up in one breath, and was coughed out of his throat uncontrollably, splashing a few blood spots in front of the floor where he was lying on his side. Hu Da wanted to reach out to wipe it, but couldn't. Lin Jianhua didn't tie him up, but one of his shoulders was dislocated, and he could only slump at his side at a weird angle that could be seen through at a glance, unable to move.

Wu Jiusheng saw all this clearly, his eyes were stinging and red, trying to move towards Huda like a fish desperately trying to jump off the chopping board.The back of his head was grabbed by Lin Jianhua, and the wig slipped off, revealing the messy forehead hair underneath. The young man's entire face was covered with sweat, and the short strands of hair stuck tightly to his neck and behind his ears, like being covered in water. After being showered, the young man's side face rubbed against the floor several times during the struggle, turning into a glowing red patch, and the color on his lips was also smeared, turning into a faint red mark that faded from the corner of his mouth.

Wu Jiusheng knew how embarrassed he would look, but there was only a sharp feeling deep in his body.

Since he knew that he was a child who was abandoned by his biological mother at birth, he had never felt as uncomfortable as he is now.

Huda is calm, calm, tough, and powerful. He is stubborn and old-fashioned, and occasionally shameless, but he shouldn't be like this. Huda, who is so weak and involuntary, makes Wu Jiusheng feel sad like To die in the past.

"What are you doing! Why are you doing these things!" he yelled with blurred vision. "I'll figure out what to do with the money owed! You want money, just get me back, you— bastard!"

The language that could not continue to organize turned into a series of cursing. The young man hit the floor with his shoulder incoherently, but Lin Jianhua raised a leg to block his way.

The way he looked at the young man was quite interesting, even a little surprised by it, as if he wanted to laugh.

"What?" He grabbed the young man's shoulders and lifted him up from the ground, squinting his eyes and staring at the tear-sucking face, "Listen, you don't know at all?"

Wu Jiusheng was stunned for a moment.

"Know what?" he repeated instinctively.

Lin Jianhua laughed out loud.He pointed to Huda who was lying in the corner.

"Do you think I arrested him to force you to pay back the money?" He bared two rows of teeth and said to Wu Jiusheng sarcastically, "Your man didn't tell you that we are friends who slept in the same bed. "

Hu Da, who was still struggling to make a sound, shook his upper body when he heard that sentence, and burst out "Lin Jianhua!" from the depths of his throat. The roar brought out a stream of blood in his throat to block Gulu Lu's movement, and the molten anger under his breath, the battle was huge and tragic.

"Why, are you afraid I'll tell you?" Lin Jianhua squinted at him, "Is it embarrassing? Have you forgotten how miserable you were when we met? Those gangsters locked you in the laundry room, six people His mother wanted to sleep with you, and guessed the punches and planned to come in turn, I didn't save you, you can have today, you forgot all about it?"

Wu Jiusheng's pupils shrank, and his whole face turned pale in an instant.

His vibration was sensitively captured by Huda, as if someone had punched his lower abdomen hard, and even the little air left in his lungs could not wait to be squeezed out.

"You fucking shut up!" Hu Da no longer cared about the raging pain inside and outside his body, and roared in a panic, trying to overshadow Lin Jianhua's deadly words.

He was too scared. If he had to choose, he would rather be stabbed by Lin Jianhua than let the young man hear his unbearable past in front of Wu Jiusheng.

"You were the one who was ungrateful first!" Lin Jianhua also yelled back, the anger in his voice was not much less than that of Hu Da, "I used to treat you as a brother, I got punched and slashed for you, you What! Are you secretly looking for someone to mess with me and betray me? Huda, it’s okay, as expected of a felon, you don’t have a fucking conscience in your heart!”

Wu Jiusheng's face became even paler, and his eyes fell on Hu Da in an instant, filled with unspeakable bewilderment and shock, Lin Jianhua supported him, but did not cover his mouth, he spoke in a confused and hoarse voice , asked with difficulty:

"Uncle... what is he talking about... how do you know this kind of person?"

"Little friend, don't be stupid." Before Hu Da could answer the young man's words, Lin Jianhua took the lead and took the lead, "Your man is not a fucking decent person. He was imprisoned in 99. Forever! Prison, do you understand? After commuting the sentence, he has been squatting for more than ten years, murderer! He has a life in his hand! He is stronger than me, and he is also a knife. If he stabs it, the person will be gone! No Have you thought about it?"

He bit every syllable of every word, and threw that sentence in Wu Jiusheng's face.

Wu Jiusheng opened his mouth halfway, and half of his bright red and wet tongue moved slightly.

He tried to speak, but no sound came out.

How could it be, he thought, such a good Uncle Hu, who was gentler to him than anyone else, could be a murderer.He suddenly turned his head to look at Huda, and collided with the other's red eyes in the middle of the road.

The desperation in Hu Da's eyes made Wu Jiusheng tremble all over, and his heart thumped as if he suddenly lost weight, like stepping on a decayed and broken bridge from a high cliff and falling into the abyss.

At that moment, Hu Da saw all the images of their future good life that they had carefully built before their eyes burst into thousands of pieces, and turned into pieces all over the place. Every piece was bloody, reflecting his own image. Unbearable face.

He has not cried for nearly 20 years, so long that he has forgotten that he is a person who cannot cry.The father needs to support the family, so he has no choice but to leave him to the grandmother at home for a whole month. The old man with dizzy eyes neglects to take care of the children. Huda suffered from dacryocystitis for a period of time and gradually It has evolved into a moderately large cyst at present, and it will not flare up on weekdays. Only when he is crying, it will stimulate his entire nerves and bring extremely intense pain, like countless needle holes piercing the bottom of the eye. On the soft spot, I couldn't see it, couldn't grasp it, and there was no way to relieve it.

Huda let out a roar from his throat, lifted his chest forcefully and hit his head on the floor in front of him.

He wanted to stop his tears from continuing to flow, but he hit his head, and a thin, sticky stream of blood slid down his face with sweat, making it even more difficult to distinguish the already messy face.

The loud noise also brought Wu Jiusheng, who had lost his soul, back to his senses.He trembled, lowered his head suddenly, and bit hard on the arm that Lin Jianhua was holding him.

The young man used all his strength to bite at that moment, the tooth socket pierced the skin very quickly, bleeding from the bite.

But Lin Jianhua stood motionless, as if he wouldn't feel any pain. He let the young man tear his arm in a desperate posture, but the strength in his hand slackened.

He issued a puzzled question:

"You bit me for this murderer, you don't want to die?"

Wu Jiusheng didn't answer, he bit the bloody wound more desperately, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Lin Jianhua's body.

Lin Jianhua's face froze, and for a few seconds, an unspeakable irritability rose from the bottom of his heart, as if something that made him extremely uncomfortable was about to burst out of his chest.He raised his hand high, and the falling fist paused hesitantly just before it touched the young man's temple, and changed into an action of forcefully breaking the opponent's mandibular joint.

Wu Jiusheng screamed, dripping from his saliva because of that rough action, but he still didn't want to let go of his jaw.

"Okay, let go." Lin Jianhua warned in a cold voice, "I'll just say this one time, if you don't know your way again, I'll strangle you right now."

That sentence also caused Huda, whose head and face were covered in blood, to look over in horror.The earnestness in Lin Jianhua's words made him miss a beat when he pronounced the first syllable:

"Wu Jiusheng! Let go of him!"

Hearing this, the young man let out a grunt, and finally let go of his jaw that had started to cramp.

He let out a "bah" and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground. Looking at Lin Jianhua in front of him, his eyes were burning with fire.

"Kill me if you have the ability. Even if I die, I will become a ghost and haunt you, make your life worse than death, and make you suffer for the rest of your life!"

Lin Jianhua's eyelids twitched, and the knuckles of his fingers subconsciously tightened around Wu Jiusheng's neck.

"Stop!" Huda yelled, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he turned himself up from the floor with that hand that could barely exert any strength, all his breathing was out of rhythm, and he didn't care about it. Chao Lin Jianhua, who was concerned about the consequences, approached.

"You also studied law in prison, you understand! Being involved in gangsters is just the nature of the case, and there are many factors in sentencing! It is not as absolute as you think! As long as you cooperate and confess everything about the boss, you can reduce your sentence if you make up for your mistakes Yes! But if you kill someone, there is no room for change! You are not the same as me, you can count crimes and sentences to the upper limit, do you think that once you enter like this, you will never have a chance to come out again!"

"I don't care." Lin Jianhua replied.

He didn't lie, he said that very seriously.

"I don't need to use the boss to make up for my mistakes. After finishing the matter between you and Tiaozi, I will go to him as well. I was planning to kill him, whether to kill him alone, or go to see him together King Yama, I don't care."

He had made up his mind a long time ago. After he left this road, he was ready to go all the way to the dark.He gave up on himself long ago, he doesn't seek redemption and doesn't need redemption, self-destruction is simply the best thing for a man like him.

He only needs to eliminate those uncertain risks. After he is imprisoned, someone in the gang will find trouble with Ye Hao. He has already made a plan. Don't let them disturb Ye Hao's current life.

The smiling face of his lover once appeared in front of his eyes, and the illusory scene reappeared again and again, which made him close his eyes in sigh and pain.

"Do you think it's over if you die!" Lin Jianhua's original thoughts were interrupted by that sentence, and Lin Jianhua turned his head to look at Hu Da who had uttered that roar.

What do you know?He chuckled nonchalantly.

Hu Da cautiously took half a step forward, and stopped suddenly in front of Lin Jianhua's expression that suddenly changed color. Now Lin Jianhua's attention was all on Hu Da, and he was sure that the force exerted on the young man's neck did not stop. Immediately afterwards, Hu Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.He looked straight into Lin Jianhua's eyes, and after carefully choosing his words, he finally said:

"Calm down, old Lin? It's not that I don't understand your mood, I... I know about Xiaoye..."

He mentioned Ye Hao, at that moment Lin Jian's face became terrified, he looked at Hu Da with a real murderous intent, and he didn't move, except for the creaking sound of tense joints all over his body .

"I heard from the captain of the security team that the police force even organized a fundraiser for you. There are many people who know about this. You should understand. Just ask a little bit, even which nursing home he lives in, every month How much is the bill, and who is paying for it, it is easy to find out." Hu Da added.

Lin Jianhua narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"You threaten me?" he asked.

Hu Da wanted to bring up Ye Hao's matter at such a critical juncture, at the risk of completely angering himself, which obviously meant something.Although Ye Hao is a legal citizen, will the cops from the police force trouble him in the future?No, even if it's just to go to Ye Hao to collect evidence for the trial of the case, it has already disturbed him very much, in case the reporter is alarmed...

Lin Jianhua hesitated for a moment.

"I will find someone to send him abroad." He said, "I left him money, and the money belongs to the elder brother. After the elder brother died, no one would trace the source of the money. Xiaohao can go to Southeast Asia. Living there, the money is enough, he can buy a house, the climate there is also very good, there is no winter, no joint pain..."

Lin Jianhua said those words in confusion, as if he was anxious to convince himself, and finally looked at Hu Da again and said:

"They can't get Xiaohao's."

Huda sighed and shook his head at him.

"That's just what you think. Money doesn't solve all problems. You should understand that the person he needs most now is you."

"You fart!" Lin Jianhua roared suddenly, and staggered his messy steps twice as if he had been stabbed into a sore spot in his heart, "He fucking needs no one and he doesn't need me. If it wasn't for me, he would become what he is now. Like this? He hates me, understand! I want to die in front of him for fear of dirtying his eyes! You know what the hell!"

"You are the one who understands his shit! Old Lin! Do you know his parents are dead!" Hu Da broke out with a louder voice, which overwhelmed Lin Jianhua's roar and interrupted him.

Lin Jianhua stared at him, a little unresponsive.

He really didn't know about it, even Huda didn't know about it before.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate!" He shouted to Lin Jianhua, "It happened in the first half of this year! A car accident on a long-distance road! Died alone on the road in a foreign land, without even a dying son or daughter, this is up to you My hometown is famous!"

Hu Da roared, for some reason, he actually roared with real anger.

"You keep saying it's because of Xiaoye, you bastard, you can't go to his house to inquire about it except doing those immoral things for the underworld every day?! You know that just before the accident, his parents contacted the nursing home and asked him once !"

This time, Lin Jianhua was finally completely stupid.

It was almost five years ago that he brought Ye Hao out of his hometown and brought him to Shenzhen. He clearly remembered that Ye Hao's parents once stood at the entrance of the village and let them off on the spot, telling Ye Hao to step out of the village. Then never go back, if he goes with him, they will just think that Lao Ye's family never had such a son.

Those words were so heartless that Ye Hao's sad expression was still deeply in Lin Jianhua's mind.

Since then, the two of them have lost contact with their hometown, and they have never heard about Ye Hao's parents.

"They called Ye Hao's ward directly." Seeing Lin Jianhua's astonished expression, Hu Da also slowed down his tone, and said everything he heard from Yan Tian, ​​"There is nothing else , I made a request, saying that I am getting old, and I want to take a look at the city where my son lives. If it is convenient, I can stay for a few more days for inspection. New Year's Eve at home."

Do you understand the meaning of these words? Hu Da asked Lin Jianhua that his parents were relieved because they wanted to ease the relationship with their son and you.

Of course Lin Jianhua understood, without Hu Da reminding him, he could imagine how excited Ye Hao was when he received the call.For them, it was a hard-won precious opportunity. For the first time and only time in so many years, they had the possibility of being accepted and blessed by their elders. This was the recognition that Ye Hao had waited for all his life. Not to mention, Lin Jianhua also knew.

"But at that time, he had just been transferred to a nursing home, and the rehabilitation course hadn't started yet. His hands and feet were not flexible, and he couldn't even walk by himself. He had to be attended to when he went to the toilet. How would you let him see his parents?" Hu Da asked. Lin Jianhua, "Have you considered it? If two elders who had made up their minds to come and have a look after so much difficulty, found that their son had become disabled, and that the man who took his son was still with the local The underworld is involved, and his injury has nothing to do with the drug trafficking case, what will the old man think? What will they think of their children, and what will they think of you?"

Lin Jianhua's breath was caught in his throat.He asked the latter sentence almost silently.

"so what……?"

The tone of that sentence also made Hu Da's heart sink. He looked at Lin Jianhua and told him:

"So he refused. In order not to make his parents suspicious, he even quarreled with them on the phone. He told them that when he left his hometown, he had already severed ties with them in his heart, and he only thought that he had no parents. I don’t want to see them again. It’s just that he didn’t know that the parents in his hometown had already left at that time and got on the long-distance bus. His son rejected him so forcefully, so he had to rebook a new train and return to his hometown. A car accident on the road."

Lin Jianhua let go of Wu Jiusheng's hand.He couldn't care about the young man anymore, his mind was full of what Hu Da said, knowing how Ye Hao would feel in the future, and how much it would hit him, Lin Jianhua wanted to give himself a knife.

"He didn't tell you this, did he?" Huda asked, "That means he didn't want you to know. It was his pain, and you didn't need to share it for him. Old Lin, have you ever thought that maybe he didn't I can't forgive you, but I can't get over the hurdle in my heart. How can he face you as if nothing happened when such a big thing happened? This is a matter between the two of you, and outsiders are not qualified to intervene, but you are still alive It's one thing, but what if you destroy yourself? You go to jail too? Become a death row inmate? He has already lost the only family member left in this world. If you leave him again, he is really helpless no one to rely on."

After Hu Da finished speaking, he stared at Lin Jianhua's face with a beating heart.He put all his hopes on what he said just now, and he was not even sure that he could persuade Lin Jianhua to stop.

Lin Jianhua misunderstood him, but Hu Da never forgot his kindness to him.It was precisely because I remembered that after hearing Ye Hao’s story for the first time, I asked Yan Tian to find someone to inquire about Ye Hao’s current nursing home, and even anonymously sent some money to the other party to express my heart. The story just now was also a visit. During the process, the person who helped him accidentally inquired about it from the nurses in the nursing home.

Hu Da never thought that those things would one day become the key to life-saving on the front line.He was betting on how much of Lin Jianhua's human nature could be aroused by the truth.

Lin Jianhua had completely let go of Wu Jiusheng, and the young man fell to the ground, looking at them in a daze.When Huda tried to speak again, his tone was so humble that it was almost pleading.

"You stop and fight for a commutation of the sentence. I'll take care of Xiaoye for you. I'll watch him for you for as long as you've been sentenced until you come out and hand him over to you safely, okay? That's all I owe you what I owe you, and I am willing to pay it back, but it has nothing to do with that child, if you let him go, will you let him go?"

Lin Jianhua shuddered.He glanced at Huda, his lips were moaning, and the bitten and bloody hand was raised in the air for a while, and finally slowly and silently, it hung down to the side of the body.

Lin Jianhua sat down on the floor and threw the knife hidden on his body far away.With blood on it, the knife hit the wall, flicked, and finally fell into a silent cloud of dust on the floor.

He also took out his phone and threw it on the ground.

"Call..." he said to Huda.

Huda didn't answer.After Lin Jianhua finally withdrew all his defenses and aggression, the man with the broken arm rushed over uncontrollably, helped the young man who had fallen on the ground up, flustered with one hand, pulled and bit the ground with his teeth He untied the loops of rope tied to his body, and then forced the young man who had almost lost his speech function into his arms, not paying any attention to the severe pain caused by such force on the dislocated shoulder.

Every part of Huda's body hurts, and the heart is the heaviest. It's as if a knife was cut open with a slam, and the cold wind was blowing in, but it's all right now. Plug that gap.

He couldn't hear his own voice, and didn't know that he was only repeating an inarticulate sentence in the young man's ear from beginning to end:

"You scared me to death...you scared uncle to death..."
