trapped beast

-B

A few days after Zhou Chengxiu finished the exam, Fang Yuanchuan was washing the car in front of the factory when he suddenly received a call from the county seat.Lao Jia asked on the phone, there is a job to make a lot of money, do you want to do it?

Lao Jia is an old Jianghu, what he does is different from Fang Yuanchuan and other petty troubles. Fang Yuanchuan immediately became vigilant and asked first: "What's the matter? Don't do things that get into trouble."

Lao Jia smiled on the phone and said, "It's really about going to jail. The boss's son killed someone by driving a car two days ago, so how could he be willing to let him go to jail? He was originally going to be sent abroad. No, I want to find someone to do it. Here comes the scapegoat."

The boss was referring to Yi Shangjie, Fang Yuanchuan scolded directly: "Fuck your mother, doesn't he only have one son, and now he works in the Water Conservancy Bureau?"

"This was born by a woman outside, and it hurts." Lao Jia continued: "But if it can be suppressed, it's not a big deal. It's better to prevent problems before they happen. Xiao Fang, do you think about it? Who should be around? If you are willing, you can also introduce it to me. It is best to find someone who is in urgent need of money."

Fang Yuanchuan flatly refused: "I definitely won't do it. There is no such person around, you can find someone else."

Lao Jia didn't mind Fang Yuanchuan's tone, and before hanging up the phone, he insisted: "If there is one, you can tell me. It has nothing to do with the person who wants to fight and suffer."

Just after he hung up the line, Zhou Chengxiu came back from his part-time job and saw him leaning against the hood of the car with a rag in a daze, so he approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Yuanchuan spends his money as soon as he earns it, and he is also very generous to the young people who follow him. If you want to ask him about his savings, he probably doesn't have a few hundred yuan.He glanced at Zhou Chengxiu and asked back, "When will you go home to get the money?"

Zhou Chengxiu said: "Zhou Yun doesn't go out recently, so let's wait. The money has been hidden for more than three years, and he has never found it."

Fang Yuanchuan was worried, secretly thinking whether to sell all these car factories or not, anyway, he wanted to go to City A with Zhou Chengxiu...

On the day when Zhou Chengxiu's acceptance letter came out, there was an endless stream of people who heard about it and came to congratulate him, almost breaking through the threshold of Fang Yuanchuan's small dilapidated factory.

Zhou Chengxiu was hit by five thunderbolts.

He quietly went back to Zhou Yun's house, and when he searched for the three envelopes he put here in the interlayer of the kitchen cabinet, he only touched the cold partition.

As smart as he is, he understood in an instant.

Zhou Yun was probably waiting for him to come back, leaning against the kitchen door, knocked on the empty wall: "Looking for something?"

"You took the money away." Zhou Chengxiu said, "When did it happen?"

"A few months ago. I thought at the time, how much money is going to college, and where did you get the money? You work everywhere every day, and your life is better than mine. How could you not save a penny? This is such a small family. Be careful, you can always find it." Zhou Yun looked very proud, he raised his chin and pointed to the tall cabinet, and said: "Smart enough. But I don't live here anymore, I will mortgage the house gone."

Zhou Chengxiu has always known that he and Zhou Yun are very similar in many ways.

Zhou Yun is not stupid, on the contrary, he is actually very smart.His sobriety makes his life here extremely painful, so he chooses to pretend to be confused.Zhou Yun's current situation is partly due to his being lazy and blaming others.Zhou Chengxiu lost these shortcomings and inherited his sobriety, so he looked like a material that was sure to make his mark.

He is not a copy of Zhou Yun, he cannot be a copy of Zhou Yun.

Zhou Chengxiu's lips were tightly pursed into a line.

He is a college student who has only been admitted here for many years, and the tuition fees are scraped together, even if he borrows, he can borrow some.Not to mention that he can still apply for a bursary. It will be a while before he leaves the journal, and he still has time to think of a way.

Zhou Chengxiu was right. After talking about his situation with the old secretary, he immediately organized a fundraiser for him.The old secretary has been incorruptible for most of his life, but he still pays a lot of money out of his own pocket, saving thousands of dollars in his life.Fang Yuanchuan naturally saved money for him after he learned about it, and he himself tried his best to gather together, hope is in sight.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to leaving school, and seeing that the scribbled blueprint they had planned was about to take shape, people suddenly came from the provincial capital.

Zhou Yun borrowed a usury loan of 3 yuan from these vicious people to start an MLM business, but the upper management collapsed in the first two days after receiving the bonus, and Zhou Yun couldn't get back a penny.Zhou Yun's reputation was notorious, he ran away overnight when something happened, people from the provincial capital came to Fang Yuanchuan's place, and Zhou Chengxiu was responsible for all the debts.

Fang Yuanchuan often ran to the provincial capital, and when he saw the small man standing in the crowd with a confident face, he knew something was wrong.

Fang Yuanchuan never thought that one day, he would be able to be thankful for how good his family is.His father and grandfather were all punks. Although they had nothing to do all their lives, they would never cheat their son again and again like Zhou Yun did.It's fine for Zhou Yun himself to be involved in these things, how can he drag Zhou Chengxiu into this quagmire?

"This group of people can't be messed with." Fang Yuanchuan said: "Let's... find a way."

However, he knew, and Zhou Chengxiu knew even more, that there was nothing he could do.He is determined to pay off the debt owed by Zhou Yun.In Zhou Chengxiu's sober mind, he could already see his future self.He will go to the big cities to work, like thousands of low-level workers, starting from the poorest, dirtiest and most tiring jobs, struggling to survive in the same way, and then silently accepting all injustices.This was the last thing he wanted, and he had worked so hard for it for so long, why was he still forced to accept such a future?

Zhou Chengxiu drank unconscious for the first time that night.Holding the wine bottle and the remaining change, he stood at the door of the small gambling house that Zhou Yun often went to, staring at the slot machine in a daze.Maybe luck?he thinks.He went to the door to find the boss to exchange chips. The boss recognized him as Zhou Yun's son and paused.Taking the chips, he deliberately slowed down his movements, as if casually said: "Do you know that your father is a regular visitor here?"

"I know."

"You are exactly the same as him now." The boss held the chip in his palm and spread it out to Zhou Chengxiu.

Zhou Chengxiu didn't answer in the end.

He walked out of the small gambling house, looked at the dark night sky that seemed to be eating people, and cried silently.

When Fang Yuanchuan found him, he could only accompany him silently, he couldn't even say a word of comfort.He had never seen Zhou Chengxiu in such a depressed state, and the more he understood Zhou Chengxiu, the feeling of powerlessness made him feel more depressed.

Tossing until late at night, after Zhou Chengxiu was paralyzed by alcohol, he finally fell asleep peacefully.Fang Yuanchuan leaned exhaustedly on the head of the bed, stared at him, and slowly reached out to stroke his forehead and black hair.

If he really belonged to the sky outside, how could he see him imprisoned in this iron cage to spend his life?Fang Yuanchuan couldn't bear to stand idly by when dealing with a small beast whose legs were caught in the traps in the wild, let alone this is a living soul, the life of the person he loves so much.

Fang Yuanchuan is always like this, the more he cares about things, the more he can't show he cares, the more he wants to say, but the more he can't say them out.

His love is so silent, yet so desperate.

"Fuck, fuck it." Fang Yuanchuan gritted his teeth and said to himself.

It took only 5 minutes of his time to make this decision.

But even if it is ten or twenty years later, Fang Yuanchuan will ask himself whether he has ever regretted the call he made to Lao Jia that night.

The answer is no.there has never been.

-A

Zhou Chengxiu still spent Christmas at Qi's house in the second year of his research.At that time, he could no longer be regarded as a guest. After all, he had been with Qi Yu for almost a year, and he was already very familiar with Qi Yu's family.

After dinner, Zhou Chengxiu and Qi Zhiguo played putts on the mini golf in the green house in the backyard, while Qi Yu still took the gift and Qi Jin fought against the landlord in the living room.

"Is it time for you to find an internship?" Qi Zhiguo asked.

Zhou Chengxiu nodded, and said: "I have found it. I haven't told you yet. I went to Hongcheng for an interview some time ago, and Qi Yu and I both passed. We will start working after the next year."

Qi Zhiguo thought for a while: "Well, Hongcheng is good, you can consider becoming a full-time employee. If you don't want to stay for a long time, it can also be used as a springboard."

Qi Zhiguo admired Zhou Chengxiu very much, this young man had all the qualities he valued, especially the ability of self-management.After Qi Yu was with him, she grew up rapidly.As a father, Qi Zhiguo was originally worried that Qi Yu would spend his entire youth in a daze, but Zhou Chengxiu led Qi Yu on a clear path, and even put Qi Yu's dormant ambition and potential together. Hooked up.

Qi Zhiguo is 100% satisfied with Zhou Chengxiu.But Chen Fang has other things to worry about.

After Qi Zhiguo pushed in a ball, he walked back to the starting point and suddenly asked, "Do you like Qi Yu?"

This is not Qi Zhiguo's problem, it should be Chen Fang's.Zhou Chengxiu's heart was like a mirror right now.

His expression was very sincere and sincere, and he replied: "I like it."

Qi Zhiguo pushed in another ball, but didn't make a sound, which meant to wait.

"Qi Yu is special to me. Other people pass by me, and pass by. But he can see the difference in me. Not only that, he will stop and talk to me. I know what my aunt is worried about , but please tell my aunt for me that I know Qi Yu because I am very lucky. I love him and will take good care of him in the future." Zhou Chengxiu replied.

After getting to know Qi Yu, Zhou Chengxiu also got to know another kind of love.It is different from the desperate madness when she was with Fang Yuanchuan, or the trembling of fingertips when kissing.This kind of love is more real and down-to-earth. He and Qi Yu are together, need each other, accompany each other, and most importantly, they grow together.

Qi Zhiguo and Chen Fang were trying to determine how seriously he treated Qi Yu and whether he was using Qi Yu, but Zhou Chengxiu finally confirmed Qi Yu's established position in his life.

He can no longer imagine what the future would be like without Qi Yu - he has fallen in love with Qi Yu wholeheartedly.

Once Christmas was over, Zhou Chengxiu and Qi Yu proposed to move out of the dormitory. It was very inconvenient to live in the dormitory with too many people.Besides, the school is too far away from Hongcheng's office, and their internship work is also difficult.

Zhou Chengxiu sorted out several reasons in an orderly manner, Qi Yu squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "After talking so much, you just want to live with me?"

Zhou Chengxiu stretched out his hand to scratch his waist, and threatened: "Yes. Then do you want to come out and live?"

Qi Yu smiled and begged for mercy: "I live, I live!"

……

In April, spring finally came.Zhou Chengxiu got up this morning, and after washing up, he took a lot of effort to wake up Qi Yu who was sleeping in the dark. When he was making breakfast, he suddenly remembered what day it was today.

Fang Yuanchuan's birthday.

After leaving Tongqian County, Zhou Chengxiu would go to prison every year on this day.Although Fang Yuanchuan has never seen him, he should at least give it a try.Last year, Qi Yu also accompanied him, waiting in the car outside.I almost forgot this year, Qi Yu probably wasn't ready either, so Zhou Chengxiu and Qi Yu informed each other and drove to the prison alone.

When registering in the guard's room, the guard checked the records and said with a suspicious face: "Fang Yuanchuan? He's on parole."

Zhou Chengxiu said: "Parole? You mean, he's out of prison?"

The guard nodded: "I got out of prison the day before yesterday."

"Where did he go? Can you find out?" Zhou Chengxiu asked again.

"You have to ask the public security organ, we definitely don't know."

"What about the contact information?"

"No." The guard replied impatiently: "We don't know anything. If you know each other, he will definitely contact you."

Zhou Chengxiu stopped listening.
