Tongshan Town is not a big town, with a permanent population of less than 20,000. In addition, the younger generation goes out to work, so there are even fewer people. Only when the Chinese New Year is approaching, many people who go out to work in the village come back, this mountain town is a bit popular.

There was a winter rain two days ago, and the streets were a little muddy and slippery, which did not prevent the only one or two restaurants in the town from opening the door to do business. At this time, several people in their thirties gathered around the table, urging to drink and joking, and blushing and joking loudly. During the meal, there were figures coming in from outside and joining the dinner.

"Why don't you come back to see the scenery that Mr. Li has lived outside over the years?"

"I think I've forgotten that there is such a Tongshan Town. The flower world outside is much better than here."

The front seat of the dining table was facing outwards, a young man called Li Shao, picked up the wine and the person who spoke to him, "You can't come back. Although the case was settled, I was not the one I went to jail. It is important to wait until the person who went to jail for me came out before I could come back. However, I did delay doing business with my father outside. It happened that I would be able to come back after the Chinese New Year. I would like to apologize to all brothers!"

He toasted the wine glass, tilted his head to drink, and lit the bottom of the glass to the five people around him.

Directly opposite, a young man with short hair picked up a bottle and filled it with him: "Young Master Li is happy. I'll treat us to dinner this time. It seems that I have made a lot of money outside."

"That's right, I've driven in Mercedes-Benz. I think I'm a rich man. When will we take our brothers and brothers in Tongshan Town to see the world and get some wife book?"

China's economy has recovered rapidly in recent years. Often, what I earn from working outside for a year is much more cost-effective than farming. After a large number of young laborers go out, there are relatively fewer women. It becomes even more difficult for some young men who have not traveled far away to find a partner. Among the ten young people in a village, basically seven or eight are not married when they reach the age of 7 or 8, and they don't even have a partner.

Li Zhaoyuan was very satisfied with the expressions of this brother who urgently asked for him.

"As long as you make money, I will definitely take you there and leave after the New Year." He said with a smile, and then thought of something, "By the way, how is the young young man who cut us a few of us now? Have you released it?"

"I don't know, I haven't returned to Tongshan Town anyway." When someone shook his head, someone next to him said: "He, I remember seeing a wanted order two years ago, and it seems that he was the one on it."

"Hahaha... the dog can't change his shit." Li Zhaoyuan laughed and picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth: "How can a poor man fight with a rich man? Even though I was convicted, he didn't know that my parents could spend money to find someone to pretend to be me. His intentional injury to someone for more than ten years was in vain. He was a junior high school student who came out of prison and had no skills. He was wanted by the police when he was committing a crime. That was normal."

Outside, a group of people walked by.

Li Zhaoyuan put down his chopsticks, glanced at him, picked up the wine glass indifferently, and invited him to drink proudly: "Come on, let's not talk about that idiot, let's drink, and take you out to make money after the New Year."

It was then.

During the meal, the urge to drink was high. The shop was coming with hot dishes. A fat man was walking outside. A fat man suddenly stopped and looked at him.

Li Zhaoyuan raised his head and drank the wine in a cheers. When he put it down, he happened to meet his sight. In an instant, the man grabbed a chair on the side of the road, rushed here, and smashed it towards them.

"My brother is all in jail, why didn't you sit in? I'll kill you-"

Li Zhaoyuan's body instinctively avoided the chair, and turned around with a companion who was drinking with his back to him and was directly covered on his head.

Bang!

The man's face was splashing blood, and he hit the table. The people around him who were originally drinking were startled by the sudden attack. They reacted and stood up one after another, shouting loudly: "Fatty, what are you doing?!"

Someone rushed up directly and grabbed the chair in his hand. Ma Bang, who was on the roadside, threw the paper money in his hand on the ground. The three red, yellow and green people around him had already rushed into the store and blocked the fat man.

The red-haired kicked the man who was fighting for the chair with Zhao Dezhu, pulled the fat man back and walked back: "Brother Fat, go to the back--" As he said that, he was kicked by the other person next to him and fell to the ground.

In the sudden chaos, the guy serving the dishes was hit by the figure, and he fell to the ground with the man and the vegetables. Green hair stepped on him and rushed to the opposite side, picked up the beer bottle on the table, and hit the head of a person on the ground.

The other party avoided it, the wine bottle hit the table legs, and the glass fragments splashed everywhere.

Li Zhaoyuan stepped back from the bounced fragments, retreated to the door of the hotel, and shouted, "Kill that fat man...", a candle hit him in the face from afar, and the yellow hair rushed over and threw him down. Then the yellow hair was overturned by Li Zhaoyuan to the ground.

There were five people on the opposite side, and there were five people here. They instantly wrestled into a group. The table was overturned, the dishes and wine were overturned all over the floor, the chairs and stools were slammed, and some of them were directly smashed into the hotel. The glass door with the word "Welcome" was shattered.

The boss stood in the kitchen with a sad face holding the account book and shouted, "Stop hitting, don't smash it again."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he quickly took out his cell phone and dialed the alarm number.

"Fatty, go!"

When Ma Bang saw someone calling the police, he pulled Zhao Dezhu, whose face was bruised and swollen, out of the melee, picked up the incense, candles and paper money on the ground and ran towards the car. The red, yellow and green three were covering the cover and following.

On this side, Li Zhaoyuan and the other two also chased each other halfway and gave up. After all, if the police station comes later, no one can leave.

"They seem to be running towards Team 7. I'll call more brothers from the town later."

A good meal was mixed up. The five people in the town were considered as little bully, but they were beaten by someone from other people on the street, and no one could swallow this.

"Okay, you go find someone and I'll pay for the money." Li Zhaoyuan wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at the blood stains remaining at the fingertips, and felt very angry.

On the other side, the five Ma Bang who escaped into the car were also shouting in the car. The fat man clenched his fists and stared at the window, and wiped his tears.

It was not that the pain on his body made him feel sad, but that he heard the other party’s conversation and knew that Xia Yibai had been in prison for more than ten years, and that he had worked hard to send living expenses to the prison for more than ten years...

"These scumbags..."

The fat man cried.

The vehicle was following the dirt road in the countryside. Because Xia Yi's sudden return home, some people recognized the extended Hummer parked in the dam and knew what the price was. They were basically invisible in places like rural areas. For a time, some villagers who were familiar with the Xia family and some relatives came to greet each other and became familiar with each other.

There may be snobbishness, but there are also people with simple temperaments who are still very curious about Xia Yi. I heard that they have made a fortune outside and have a big house in the city. Many people went to congratulate Wang Suhua on their words, saying that they would move to the city to sit in the future, and the old couple could enjoy a happy life, which made Wang Suhua’s smile fall down.

Some old bachelors in the village kept staring at Jiang Yu, Zhou Jin, and Guo Manyuan who were having dinner. There were very few women in a mountain village who could come to the city. There were three beautiful ones at once, which was amazing. They smoked cigarettes and discussed from time to time that their most beautiful ones, whether they would be Xia Yi's wife, etc., and then sighed at the other party's good fortune.

This excitement lasted for a while. Someone saw Xia Jianxun coming back from outside with a hoe. He winked at each other and gradually left. Only some good things remained to continue watching the excitement.

"Are you back?" Wang Suhua put down the bowls and chopsticks and went up to help her husband get the hoe. The man just nodded silently and did not look at the group of men and women sitting around the table.

When he walked past Xia Yi, he sat down at the threshold, and the blast banged at the door, knocking the ashes inside to the ground, his voice a little hoarse.

"When will I come back?"

Everyone around was still calm and pretended not to hear him continue eating. Wang Suhua looked at her son with some concern, then looked at her husband again. Just as she was about to speak, Xia Yi, who was sitting opposite, started talking.

He smiled, reached out and took an empty bowl and put it on the table in front of his father: "I'm back at noon."

"Um."

After a squeak of smoke, Xia Jianxun had no intention of holding the bowl. He pressed his knees and got up from the threshold, turned around and went into the dark bedroom, "Come in with me."

Xia Yi smiled at the three girls and mother, put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked into the house. There was not much furniture inside, a black and white TV was placed next to it, and there was a rice cabinet. The curtains were pulled, and the light rope was pulled. Under the dim light bulb, my father's figure was squatting in the corner of the bed.

He took out a brick from the wall and threw it aside. Xia Jianxun took out an iron box from the hole with a cigarette gun in his mouth, opened it and took out the things inside.

"Take it, I've saved so much for you over the years..."

Smoke filled the light bulb. He was holding a stack of money wrapped in oil cloth in his hand. He handed it to Xia Yimeng, but his eyes looked at one side: "......If you take it, leave quickly. Don't let the Li family know that you are back. You must cause trouble for you."

He took another sip of the gun, and saw that Xia Yi didn't move, so he stuffed the stack of money and pushed it out: "You'll leave after eating."

Xia Yi looked at the money in his hand. Some of the money he had used to pay. It seemed that he had saved some time. His eyes became slightly hot, and he nodded and took the money away.

The father and son haven't seen each other for so many years, even if there are some gaps, they won't start arguing when they meet.

They walked out silently, and the two sat at the table and ate their meals. Not long after, the fat man and Ma Bang hurried back with incense, candles and paper money in their hands. Although the scars on their faces were cleaned up, they were still seen by Wang Suhua.

"Fatty, what's going on on your face?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just urinated on the roadside and accidentally rolled into the field below, and it fell." The fat man put the incense candle aside, sat down next to Xia Yi, and whispered to the other party's ear and said a few words.

At this time, Wang Suhua glared at him: "If you don't tell the truth, will you fall like this if you fall once?"

"I fell twice!" Ma Bang held the rice grains in his mouth and gestured with chopsticks: "I just climbed up from below, but it fell again."

While joking, Jiang Yu noticed that Xia Yi's face was a little strange, "What's wrong with Brother Yi?"

Xia Yi turned her face and smiled: "It's okay, let's have a meal."

"oh….."

After lunch, Xia Yi picked up the incense candles on the ground and went to the forest behind the house. Fatty man and several others followed behind. There were several families next to each other. There were many small earthblocks covered with moss on the nearby bamboo forest, all of which were left in the 1970s and 1980s or more.

After entering the bamboo forest, his originally smiling face seemed to have pulled away from all emotions and became cold. He stopped in front of a small earth grave. Ma Bang and the fat man came over and lit the incense candle and inserted it on the ground.

"What is buried here is my master. He is not a secluded martial arts master, but a wild man without a medical license. The only way to take action is to correct the bones."

He lit a piece of yellow paper on a candle and placed it on the ground, "It can save people and kill people, but he is timid and dare not run outside to practice medicine. In fact, some people in the countryside are cunning and bold, while others are just like my master and my father, who are honest and can't do anything too big."

The yellow paper was thrown into the fire one by one.

"My father has been a farmer all his life. Like my mother, he has never been to the county town. He has little knowledge. He didn't recognize me at the beginning, but he just stopped me from coming back, so he would not be found by the Li family. Although his method is clumsy, he has always been holding on to the responsibility of a father."

The shaking fire reflected Xia Yi's face light and dark, and his voice gradually changed from plain to indifference.

“….But some people have no bottom line.”

He threw the last piece of yellow paper into the fire and watched as the swaying flames drifted away from the ashes of the sky.
