Brother Biao sneezed, rubbed his hands on his face, lit a cigarette, and then threw one to me. He said, "Okay, in this case, let's not delay. After Diao Long comes back, Let's just drive out of here,"
Hongyu came over reluctantly, sat in front of me and said worriedly: "Brother Chen, I want to stay with you. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. One more person means one more person." I have so much power, don’t you believe in me too?”
I forced a smile and patted Hongyu on the shoulder, "It's been almost five years since we left. Of course we can trust you, but I just want to handle the rest of the matter alone. You don't have to persuade me. Please go with Brother Biao and the others,"
"Brother Chen..."
Hongyu also wanted to explain his rejection, "Stop it, I won't agree,"
I stood up and walked towards the entrance of the brick kiln, looking at the brightest star in the west. Suddenly a chill came over me, and I sneezed. The situation I was in now was something I never expected. Since I left school Until now, my path has not been smooth at all. I can't find the specific reason why I am in such a situation and I can't figure it out.
"Diao Long is back,"
I don’t know when Brother Biao stood next to me. Looking at the intersection to the north, Diao Long’s car slowly drove over. He stopped the car and walked over quickly, “Brother Chen, Brother Biao,”
"How is Zhang Tianqing doing now," I asked him.
Diao Long sighed and shook his head, "It's not very good. The doctor said that it can be reconnected, but the chance of survival is very small. It depends on his luck. I didn't stay too long. After giving the money to Zhang Tianqing, I came back,"
I looked at the road to the north and asked Diao Long worriedly, "What happened on the way back?"
Diao Long nodded, "Let's go in and talk."
Sitting around the fire again, Diao Long took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette. He took two puffs and coughed continuously, as if he had a cold. He shrugged his shoulders, "When I came back, I didn't dare to take the main road. When Tianqing went to the hospital in the city, I saw police checking at two intersections. There were special police and traffic police. They were probably looking for us, so I drove on a small road in the dark. Fortunately, my phone had navigation, otherwise I would have Can’t find it here,”
"It seems that we must leave quickly..." Brother Biao said seriously.
Diao Long was a little confused, "Brother Chen, what are your plans next?"
I pointed at Brother Biao and Hongyu and said to him: "You drive and leave here with Brother Biao and the others."
"Where to go,"
"Go to Guangdong," Brother Biao took over and said.
Diao Long was a little surprised by this. He was silent for a while and then agreed, "You can go, but we only have two cars now. How do we get there?"
What Diao Long said is right. Two cars simply can’t accommodate the rest of us. Counting the number of people, Biao, Diao Long, Lin Bin, Hongyu, Mengzi, Mosquito plus Sister Jing and Pingping can 8 people can barely fit in two cars, but it is definitely not possible to travel a long distance.
Pingping suddenly called me. Looking at everyone's eyes, I was too embarrassed to say it. I walked up to her and pulled her to the side. Seeing that her eyes were wet, I stretched out my hand to wipe her. , "What's wrong, don't worry too much, everything will be fine, it's no big deal,"
Pingping shook her head vigorously, "Chen, let me stay."
"No, you can't stay here," I refused her. There was absolutely nothing to discuss.
Pingping cried aggrievedly, and said with sobs: "I can find a place to stay first, and when you are done, it won't be too late for us to leave together. I won't hurt you, I just want to find a place first." Just stay there, can't you?"
Seeing Pingping's sad look, I softened my heart. After thinking about it carefully, Pingping is not very dangerous now. It shouldn't be a big problem to find a hotel to stay in first, but... for the sake of safety, I still don't agree with her idea. "Stop crying, Brother Biao and his friends can't fit in their car. Let's find a way."
"Great morning..."
Sister Jing called me, then stood up and waved to me, "You two come over, I have discussed it with your brother Biao,"
Pingping and I walked back. Sister Jing asked Pingping to sit over. She looked at me with a smile and said to everyone, "I told you just now that Pingping and I can actually leave by train. Don't forget, we The two of them left almost no information on this matter. It shouldn't matter if they leave now. You guys can just drive away and we can meet up in Guangdong. Dachen, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, I agree to this arrangement," I looked at Pingping deliberately. Although she disagreed in her heart, she still nodded in agreement.
I looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock in the morning. I was cold, tired, but not sleepy. I sat there and briefly treated the wound on my ankle again. I decided to let everyone leave now, "Brother Biao, let's start." Let's go, don't wait any longer, it's probably not safe for you to take the highway, so try to take the smaller roads and see if there's enough gas in the tank, and find a way to find a small gas station to fill it up,"
"Yes, I think we can't drive on the highway. When I collided with the police car just now, the front of the car was a little flat. It will be easily noticed on the highway," Diao Long said worriedly.
Brother Biao pondered for a while, "We have enough gas. The most important thing is to have a reasonable route. The police will definitely check every route out of the city. Don't take the highway or the national highway. The only possible way is to take the You can take the small road in the mountainous area to the city in the neighboring province, and then find a way to escape."
Okay, Brother Biao often runs on the road and is familiar with the environment of City Z. In short, don’t take risks. It would be better if you can take the small roads. You should set off now. Send Sister Jing and Pingping to the city first and let them go. Let’s take a taxi to the train station,”
Everyone stood up and walked out together. Although this plan was a bit hasty, it had to be this way. It would be difficult to leave after dawn.
Hongyu suddenly turned around and looked at me, "Brother Chen, we are leaving, where have you been?"
"Haha, don't worry, I must be going home first, get in the car and go," I pushed him towards the car.
Mengzi was holding a box containing money in his hand, "Brother Chen, what should I do with the money?"
"Take it with you first, and then make other plans after arriving in Guangdong. Remember not to deposit money in the bank, or something will happen."
Seeing everyone reluctantly getting into the car, everyone was probably feeling sad, but they had no other choice. When things got to this point, they could only take one step at a time.
Brother Biao started the car and took Lin Bin, Sister Jing and Pingping with him. Pingping suddenly ran out of the car again and rushed towards me, "Chen, you must be careful..."
"It's okay, don't worry, wait for me in Guangdong, I will come there, don't worry," I wiped Pingping's tears and pushed her into the car.
Brother Biao's car was in front, and Diao Long drove Hongyu, Mengzi and Mosquito behind. After a few people waved to me, the car slowly drove away.
My heart was completely cold, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. I wasn't sad, nor was I scared. I felt an indescribable feeling. I suddenly lost any confidence.
Watching the two cars disappear around the corner, I lit a cigarette and took a puff. I returned to the brick cave and leaned against the wall. In front of me, there was only a pile of extinguishing fires and small cigarette butts. There was only a small fire, and only an empty darkness remained.
The past events came to mind over and over again. I took out my phone and looked through the photos. There were photos of Lin Yan, Yaoyao, and Pingping. As I looked at them, my eyes became blurry.
"Brother Chen,"
Suddenly I heard Hongyu's cry, and I woke up from my drowsiness. I saw it right, it was Hongyu. He was standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at me, panting.
Suddenly I had an ominous premonition, "Why are they back? What happened to them?"
Hongyu suddenly laughed, "Don't be excited, Brother Chen, I decided to stay with you."
"Hurry up, I already said I don't want you to stay, why the hell don't you listen, call Brother Biao and ask him to come back and take you away," I was about to call Brother Biao, Hongyu haha laughed.
"Brother Chen, don't bother. Brother Biao and the others have already gone far. I told them to stay. You may be angry or forgive me. In short, I can't leave now," Hongyu, the boy, was trembling. Lighting a cigarette, "Brother Chen, have you forgotten the oath we swore?"
"What oath?" I didn't think about the oath. I was still very angry at this kid for staying.
Hongyu squatted down and added a piece of wood to the fire, "I don't want to share happiness, but I want to share hardships. I, Hongyu, was your junior brother when I was in school. I was your brother when I left school. Now that I have joined society, it is even more... Your brother, you said that at this time, if I leave you, what kind of brothers are you? Even if we go in together in the end, we are still brothers. We can also have a prison storm or something inside, what do you think?"
Hongyu's words made me very happy. It is indeed rare to have such a brother, but I was worried that I would be sorry for him. "Hongyu, brothers, I will never forget it. Thank you, brother,"
I stretched out my hand, and Hongyu also reached out and held mine tightly, "Good brother,"
"Okay, I'll take you somewhere,"
"Where are you going?" Hongyu stood up and asked beside me.
I pointed to the distance, "There is the village where I lived when I was a child. The first house next to the river at the south end is my family's old house. We can rest for a while, find a way to get some food, and then think about the wound. Find a way to wrap it up,"
"Where are you going to find food in the middle of the night? Brother Chen, how long has it been since no one lived in your old house? What else is there," Hongyu asked me doubtfully.
"We still have living and furnishings, but we have to find a way to eat. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe. Let's have a good rest and then consider the next plan. Since you plan to stay, then help me properly. Bar,"
I don't know why Hongyu is so happy. He chuckled, "Of course, I have made a lot of determination. Brother Chen, you are not going to steal someone else's dog, are you?"
I laughed, and was infected by Hongyu's humorous character in the face of disaster, "My enemy, I went to steal, but what I stole was not a dog, but a chicken."
