my cp turned out to be

Ma Jiao threw him down from behind Ma Yuan, but failed to stop him from slashing at Zhao Yuanbin who was on the ground with a knife. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanbin reacted quickly and withdrew the moment the tip of the knife fell, protecting the main artery in his neck and letting the tip of the knife fall. It landed on his own cheek, and there was a big bloody gash from the nose to the corner of the eye.

Zhao Yuanbin cursed in pain, struggled to get up, kicked Ma Yuan who was being held down by Ma Jiao, grabbed the knife, and stabbed him unceremoniously in the side of the waist——Ma Yuan immediately issued a killing spree. Pig-like screams—this time, Ma Jiao didn't stop him.

At this moment, another group of people swarmed into the cemetery and beat and killed Shen Laosan and his gang. It turned out that Zhao Yuanbin's subordinates who stayed at the gate called for help.

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Zhao Fang's momentum rose sharply, and Shen Fang was immediately defeated.Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Laosan turned around and ran away with a few of Quan Huan's men, abandoning all the wounded.

Zhao Yuanbin covered the wound on his face with the handkerchief Ma Jiao gave him, calmly ordered his men to send the wounded and captives to the underground doctor, and arranged for someone to watch the captives, intending to pry words out of their mouths. Get rid of Shen Laosan's influence.After explaining everything clearly, he dragged Ma Jiao into the car, ready to go to the hospital to treat the wound on his face.

As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Yuanbin couldn't hold back anymore.He showed a painful expression, resting his head on Ma Jiao's lap, moaning softly.Ma Jiao covered his face with a bloody handkerchief in one hand, and gently ran down his hair with the other hand, his voice was a little trembling: "It's okay...we'll be at the hospital soon, Brother Zhao is okay."

"How can it be okay, such a deep cut." Zhao Yuanbin whispered with his eyes closed, "This is considered disfigured."

"...I'm sorry." Ma Jiao thought for a long time, and found that this was the only sentence he could say.

Zhao Yuanbin sighed lightly: "This is the consequence of beating a snake and not dying... This time it's disfigured, what about next time? Ma Jiao, you have to choose between me and Ma Yuan."

Ma Jiao's hand stroking Zhao Yuanbin's hair paused, but said nothing.

When they arrived at the hospital, Zhao Yuanbin was sent for treatment, and Ma Jiao sat blankly in the corridor.His body was covered in ashes, staring at the handkerchief stained with Zhao Yuanbin's blood, he thought a lot: he thought of the bullying and abuse he received when he was young, and the apology and care of Ma's parents for him; And the heartache when I found out that my parents had gray hair because of Ma Yuan's disappearance; I thought of the various injuries Ma Yuan had done to him, and the hugs their brothers had in the hospital; Ma Yuan's fierce knife; thinking of his parents' joy after learning of Ma Yuan's whereabouts, and the news that they were detained by Shen Laosan...

After thinking for a long time, he stood up from the chair and asked Ah Wei who was left by Zhao Yuanbin to accompany him: "Brother Ah Wei, can you take me to see Shen Laosan's injured subordinates?"

Awei was startled: "Could it be that you are going to see Ma Yuan? Don't you wait for Brother Zhao to finish his stitches?"

"...I have something to tell Ma Yuan, otherwise, I will have no face to see Brother Zhao."

Half an hour later, Ma Jiao saw Ma Yuan on the bed of a small underground clinic.

Ma Yuan's wound had already been treated. Although Zhao Yuanbin struck ruthlessly, he was very measured. The knife inserted from the side of his waist avoided all the important organs in Ma Yuan's body.He was lying there, with the blood-stained portrait of Guan Gong on the bedside table, the previous tyranny and madness were gone on his face, it seemed that the pain had finally woken him up.Seeing his younger brother, Ma Yuan showed an expression of embarrassment, guilt and fear.

Ma Jiao looked at his brother carefully for a long time, then pointed to the statue of Guan Gong and said to him, "Smash it."

Ma Yuan's lips trembled.

Ma Jiao has no expression on his face, and there is no fluctuation in his eyes: "Small it. You smash it, and I will treat all your insane, pigs and dogs as being affected by this shit, and I can help you Go beg Brother Zhao to let him let you go, let him find a way to rescue your parents, and let him continue to protect your barbecue restaurant - as long as you smash it, I will treat you as still alive."

Ma Yuan's eyes widened, and his eyes moved to the statue of Guan Gong.

Ma Jiao continued: "I have always hated you. Because you have been a cruel, paranoid, violent and self-pitying person since you were a child. You have caused my life to fall into one misfortune after another, but I have always convinced myself to accept you, forgive you, and even love. You, because your parents love you, we are all Ma family no matter what... I thought I would tolerate you like this for the rest of my life, but when you raised the knife to Brother Zhao again, I realized that my patience is also limited."

"At that moment, I really wanted to kill you with my own hands. Don't you feel sick about my relationship with Brother Zhao? I made you feel sick today: Yes, he raised me like a baby, and followed me like a pet." , protect me, but he never sleeps with me - because he has someone in his heart, he doesn't like me - it's me who is cheap, I like him, I fall in love with him, I am willing to accompany him by his side, like It's like a thing to make him happy." Ma Jiao chuckled, with self-deprecating, "I love him, so I can't tolerate anyone hurting him, not even you."

"If you choose someone between you and Brother Zhao, then I will choose him. You have only two choices today, either you smash this statue of Guan Gong, control your brain and hands, and I will treat you as not threatening Go to Brother Zhao to help you intercede; or if you don’t smash it, you will be blessed from now on, and I will never bother you to save you.”

Ma Yuan's body trembled slightly.He couldn't help looking into Ma Jiao's eyes, as if he wanted to see the usual gentleness, compassion, tolerance and tolerance, but he only saw disappointment, indifference, anger and determination.He was suddenly surrounded by a sense of suffocation, which made him scratch his chest unconsciously, feeling a burning pain in his heart...

At the moment when he lost Ma Jiaorou, he realized what this younger brother meant to him——

That was his last piece of pure land and warmth in this world.

Ma Yuan thought of a lot. He thought of the little guy who called "Brother" and snuggled up to him when he was young, the little boy who pulled his clothes and cried distressedly every time he was beaten, and thought of the little boy in the alley. The trembling young man who wants to take him home, thinks of the big boy who roared angrily in the hospital, cried in his arms, pleaded with Zhao Yuanbin on his behalf, and remembers the boy who always came to chat with him and persuade him to go home in recent years The young man... yes, he is indeed cruel, violent, paranoid and weak at the same time, and the world has been trying to rely on him and tolerate him. After he left, it was his younger brother Ma Jiao who finally found him, and only His younger brother Ma Jiao.

Maybe the statue of Guan Gong gave him spiritual comfort, but it also made him neither human nor ghost.But Ma Jiao, he has paid so much, but he only hopes that he can live a better life... Since I have such a younger brother, why should I rely on a statue of Guan Gong?

"I, I smashed..." Ma Yuan tremblingly said, looking at Ma Jiao pleadingly, "If I smashed..." Let's find a way to bring our parents back and live a good life, shall we?

Brother assures you that you will never mess up again in the future.Brother must earn money well and take good care of his parents.You don't want to associate with Zhao Yuanbin anymore. He is a man, and he is not a good person. You love so badly, and your brother loves you... From now on, you will live with your brother, and your brother will definitely protect you, take care of you, and pay back what you owed before I will pay you all, okay?

— But he didn't have a chance to say these words.Because Zhao Yuanbin who had just finished stitching suddenly appeared in the ward.He gave Ma Yuan a cold look, and said, "I'll let you go this time, but remember, this is the last time! This Guan Gong is like whether you like to smash or not, just remind you that you are not allowed to be in Ma Yuan in the future Appear in front of Jiao!" After speaking, he pulled Ma Jiao away.

Ma Yuan sat on the hospital bed blankly, seeing his younger brother leave with him without looking back, finally covered his face, and cried bitterly...

======

"...The person who watched him said that he failed to smash the statue of Guan Gong in the end. I was completely disappointed after hearing that. After asking Brother Zhao to rescue his parents, he reduced his contact with the Ma family. But after that, my brother seemed to be He was awakened, and he never went crazy again. He lived a peaceful life, and from time to time... came to my house to see me and chat with me. Brother Zhao was very angry at first and warned him many times. Later, I told Brother Zhao The relationship is far away, so he won't be too involved in the affairs between me and my brother." Ma Jiao took a sip of water, and concluded his story, "The situation has been good until Dongdong was born. My sister-in-law was in the child He ran away with someone not long after he was born, and my brother was busy with business, so he neglected to take care of Dongdong... When he was free, he found that Dongdong was already very dependent on this Guan Gong portrait."

"Well," the old man from "Shan Hai Jing" nodded while pinching his chin, "Ma Yuan is getting older and more mature, and this statue of Guan Gong has been worshiped in the store as the God of Wealth for many years, and the evil spirit has dissipated, so later , he is not much affected anymore. But Dongdong is too young and has been completely bewitched, so he utters bad words and hurts people frequently... This thing is a serious problem, don't let it go!"

JOJO relayed the words of the old bookworm to Ma Jiao unchanged.

Ma Jiaoda nodded, and looked around the crowd expectantly: "Yes, yes, I also think that this evil must be eliminated, but what should I do? I also wanted to smash it hard before, but I thought my brother was the first After losing the statue of Guan Gong for the first time, I suffered a serious illness... I am afraid that Dongdong people will not be able to stand it."

"Forcing smashing is definitely not acceptable." "Shan Hai Jing" circled the statue of Guan Gong twice, and sat down on the floor table exhausted. Human soul. If it is destroyed directly, it is likely to take away part of the soul of the believer... In my opinion, there is only purification."

Everyone at the table who could see the bookworms tilted their heads silently: Purify, how to purify like that, send it to the temple to listen to monks chanting?

"Shan Hai Jing" was amused. Seeing the loving expressions of the human beings, he raised his hand and nodded to the blond boy among them, saying: "JOJO can do it, use high-purity spiritual energy to wash away the evil spirit on Guan Gong's body."

"What!? Who dares to touch me! I am Second Master Guan! Second Master Guan!" Guan Gongxiang yelled in shock and anger when he heard this.

"High-purity aura?" JOJO was confused.

"What high-purity spiritual energy?" Ma Jiao asked.

Lin Xi immediately made a rescue: "He meant that he could use high-purity aura to purify the evil spirit on this Guan Gong statue, making it harmless."

JOJO looked at Lin Xi with a flat mouth: But I still don't know how to use that high-purity aura?

Lin Xi's liver trembled because of his cuteness, and she immediately averted her eyes to look at the old man of "Shan Hai Jing".

"Shan Hai Jing" shrugged this time: "The specific method is up to you to explore, in short, it is enough to emit the golden light like before."

"Then it's settled like this." You Fang heard the decision and decided, "The statue of Guan Gong will be taken home by JOJO and Lin Xi to be purified, and will be returned to Ma Yuan and his son after the purification is complete."

"Well, in order to avoid side effects, you can let Ma Dongdong go to Lin Zi's house to play with Guan Gongxiang for a while every day... It's getting late, Boss Ma should be back soon, let's discuss it with him when he comes back." Lu Yao added.

Naturally, Ma Jiao had no objection.

The issue of Guan Gong's portrait was solved, and everyone relaxed.You Fang and Lu Yao sat on the side and teased the statue of Guan Gong (holding hands, the statue of Guan Gong scolded angrily: "The addiction to broken sleeves, dirty!" Kissing the face: "Indecent, shameless!" Poke the statue of Guan Gong one by one: "Zhuzi!" Disrespectful!" "Shan Hai Jing" bookworm commented: "Human beings are terrible...") Ma Jiao remembered the business, and pulled Lin Xi to talk to him about the JOJO contract, while JOJO rested his head on Lin Xi's shoulder .

Lin Xi flipped through the thick contract book: "That is to say...you have always wanted to make an idol drama? May I ask about the subject matter?"

"Hmm... it's a street theme." Speaking of work, Ma Jiao resumed his old-fashioned and weirdness, "To be precise, it's about Brother Zhao... I want to make his young part into an idol drama."

"Let me gossip," Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and moved closer to him, "If you shoot...will you also include the boy who died for him?"

"Yes, because that person is a very important part of Brother Zhao's life."

"Oh, but idol dramas with same-sex themes and violent elements are hard to approve, right?" Lin Xi asked.

Ma Jiao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "It's not a homosexual subject, Brother Zhao...he is bisexual, and now he has a woman in his care."

"Huh!?" Lin Xi was startled, and there was a lot of movement, causing JOJO to open his eyes: "?"

Ma Jiao shrugged at the two of them: "Although he has that person in his heart, it doesn't prevent him from expressing his desires. Since the year his face was scratched, he has been... a little tired of me, and he took care of me soon after. Mistress, rests with her most of the time."

"What about you?" Lin Xi frowned, "What are you?"

"Yeah..." Ma Jiao smiled wryly, his eyes seemed pained and blank, "What am I...? So since then our contact has gradually decreased, and I will only go when he calls me Seeing him...Before tonight, we haven't seen each other for nearly 3 months. I want to stay away from him, stop asking for his help, turn down his invitation, but I can't help but waver..."

At this moment, JOJO reached out and covered Ma Jiao's eyes.

Both Lin Xi and Ma Jiao were taken aback.The former wanted to pull his hand away: "What are you doing?"

"?" The ignorant boy blinked his eyes and said, "He's about to cry, I don't want to see him cry... If he cries, it will be very..." JOJO paused, trying to find words to come Describe the feeling of softness and compassion in your heart, and finally say, "It's pathetic."

Lin Xi stopped talking, and Ma Jiao pressed JOJO's hand: "... Please come out with me to shoot the idol drama, it was my thank you gift to Brother Zhao at that time. After the filming, I will let it go completely." Let him go."

JOJO looked at Lin Xi, saw that the other party nodded, and said, "Okay, I promise you."

There was a bright smile on the half of Ma Jiao's face that he couldn't cover. At this moment, there was the sound of brakes outside the store: "Ah, it's Dongdong and the others who are back."
