Lei Zi's father raised his head and his Adam's apple squirmed. He took another sip of wine and ate his food.
"Uncle...can you tell me when Brother Xu put this thing here?" I saw that Lei Zi's father seemed to be in a bad condition, so I asked questions carefully.
"Alas...Three years ago, the day he sent Xiao Lei home!!" Lei Zi's father, with red eyes, let out a long sigh and drank another bottle.
As soon as Lei Zi's father finished speaking, my mind buzzed and I instantly remembered a scene. On the day Lei Zi's accident happened, after the body was taken away by the police, Brother Xu immediately asked Sister Baobao to prepare something for him.
One hundred million in cash, he went directly to the Public Security Bureau to claim the body, and then Brother Xu disappeared by himself for several days. In other words, when Lei Zi died, he prepared the CD and put it here.
"Uncle, Brother Xu, did you say anything when I put your things here??" Although Lei Zi's father was in a very bad state, I really had too many doubts in my heart and couldn't help but ask.
"Zhang Xu, you didn't say anything, and you didn't tell me that there was such a thing!" Lei Zi's father was silent for a moment, thinking about it.
"Then how did you know? Zhang Wei, what's going on?" I asked again.
"Three years ago, on the day Lei Zi had an accident, I received a call from the Public Security Bureau confirming Lei Zi's identity and asking me to claim the body. Unexpectedly, the next day, as I was about to leave, Zhang Xu was holding Lei Zi's urn
, drove here with Yi Zhao, and when I saw...Xiao Lei's ashes..., I wanted to kill Zhang Xu. At that time, I thought that if it hadn't been for Zhang Xu, my son would not have died at all, and maybe he would have been able to take the exam.
Go to college... maybe find a job in the county. Zhang Xu gave me a box of money. My fucking son is dead. What's the use of asking for money? I drove him away in the middle of the night. He was lying at the door.
He refused to leave and slept in the car for two days. On the day of the burial, in front of the whole village, he knelt down, kowtowed three times, and begged me to let him send Xiao Lei away...
In fact, I understand that this kid Xiao Lei has a heart as high as the sky and a life as thin as paper. He only wants to get ahead, make a lot of money, drive a good car, and live in a good house. He dropped out of school when he was a teenager. He has no education and no skills.
I am not very down-to-earth in my work, and I only want to take shortcuts. Alas... If there is no Zhang Xu, there will be Li Xu and Wang Xu. To put it bluntly, I am incapable of educating my children and have no ability. I have not saved a rich family for Xiaolei.
Lei Zi has come this far and has nothing to do with Zhang Xu! Come on, drink!!!" Lei Zi's father was unshaven, his hair was messy, he raised his neck, drank a lot of beer from his throat, and two lines of turbid tears fell from his eyes.
I looked at Lei Zi’s father. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t say anything. Tianyang and Tang Biao didn’t give a damn. They were eating so much that they both picked up beer and drank big gulps to accompany this man.
The middle-aged man who lost his son...will never return until he is drunk.
"Zhang Xu bought a piece of land for Xiao Lei on the hill in front. After finishing Xiao Lei's funeral, Zhang Xu left that day. I remember that the same night he left, the boy named Zhang Wei came.
He told me that he was a friend of Lei Zi, and he came here specifically to see Lei Zi, put up incense sticks, and offer some fruits... I was so confused at the time that I didn't think much about it, so I just got him the place where his photo was kept.
After he finished offering incense in the house, I saw him with my own eyes. He picked up Lei Zi’s photo, opened the frame from the back, and took out the round plate-like thing!!”
"Is it this??" I took out the CD in my arms, handed it to Lei Zi's father, and asked anxiously.
"Well, that's what it is!" Lei Zi's father nodded and said.
"Then what did he say??" I asked again.
"He said that this toy should be kept here for the time being. Unless Zhang Xu comes to pick it up, or someone mentions his name, I will take it out again. I don't even want to fucking live anymore. How can I have time to look at this crappy toy for him? I
I asked him to take him away quickly. He said he went out to live in a "thatched house", so he left a hundred thousand yuan... and ran away!! So this toy has been placed behind the photo for three years...
.Oh... By the way, you know him, right? When you leave, give him the 100,000 yuan to take back! What is a child doing with 100,000 yuan? He makes it look like he can’t live.
!!!" Lei Zi's father's tongue was slurred, his speech was extremely stiff, and his eyes were already closed. If nothing else, he would definitely be under the table within three minutes.
"More, uncle, another kilogram of white wine! This wine is very good. After drinking it, fire will come out of your mouth, just like the red boy! The fire extinguisher doesn't work! Come on, don't say anything! Let's do it!"
Drink it!" Tang Biao was so drunk that he picked up a bottle of Erguotou and bit it open with his teeth.
"Peng!!"
"Fuck, why are you so fucking bad! I drank so much that I drank so much, you didn't see it! You've obviously become a pipa spirit after drinking so much! You even fucked up the red boy...fuck you!" Tianyang
He kicked Tang Biao naively, and Tang Biao fell to the ground with a thud.
"...Pfft...uh...I don't think about it, let our uncle drink well, are you full...!" Tang Biao burped, lying on the ground and fell asleep...
Later, Lei Zi's father also fell asleep, and Tian Yang's face was lying on the butt of the chicken on the plate... He also fell asleep. He and Biao Zi were really tired these days.
I was a little drunk, but I couldn't sleep. There was a huge wave in my heart, and pictures appeared in front of my mind. Why did Zhang Wei know that Lei Zi would die?
Why do you know that Brother Xu will come to Chenjiazhuang to bury Lei Zi??!!!
And why do you know that Brother Xu put a CD in Lei Zi’s photo?
I had an idea in my mind that I would never admit! I also suddenly remembered the meaning of what Zhang Wei said to me on the rooftop.
"Do you know Brother Xu??"
This is what I understand now!!
Zhang Wei thinks he knows Brother Xu!! He has been guarding against Brother Xu!! When he was monitoring Hong Tao!! He was also monitoring Brother Xu!!
He is making a plan for the future!! He is afraid that Brother Xu will regard him as an abandoned son in the end!! He is afraid that in the end he will be the victim of the game between Hong Tao and Brother Xu!!
Only this explanation can explain clearly why Zhang Wei knew so many things and why he left a CD!!
However, what he did made me feel slightly uncomfortable. It can be said without hesitation that brotherhood accounts for at least 70% of the reason why I can still hang out outside today!!
The last thing I want to see is the kind of mutual suspicion between brothers. I have always believed that we all believe that the people we call brothers are the ones we can turn our backs to!!
Someone who will never betray you even to death!!
However, does Zhang Wei's doing this mean that he does not trust Brother Xu 100%?! He does not hesitate to keep a back-up, and even monitors Brother Xu, and there may be some things that I don't know about!!
I definitely believe that Zhang Wei’s behavior is not malicious, and he is just doing it to protect himself and make a living. But Brother Xu always thinks of two plans in his mind when he does everything, but those b
Plans are always kept to give these brothers a way out and save their lives...
At this moment, I felt a little trembling in my heart, feeling that there was a gap between us brothers.
At the same time, I became more and more frightened by Brother Xu’s IQ. I always thought that I knew him very well and was sure that he would not harm us, but he seemed to always have a back-up plan and was always out of your reach.
through!!
His brother of many years, Lei Zi, was lying dead on the street. At this moment!! Under his grief-stricken appearance, he could still calmly bury a secret and leave a CD!!
Isn’t this kind of person scary? Doesn’t it make people shiver?
Facing the cold wind, my mind was extremely confused, I slowly walked out of the village, and slowly came to a small hillside under the moonlight.
A lonely tomb stands on a hillside. When the wind blows, the weeds sway in the wind...
With the strength of the wine, I took out half of the roast chicken and a bottle of Erguotou that I had just taken out from the house, lit three cigarettes, inserted them on the grave, sat down on the ground with a thud, leaned against the stone tablet, and looked up at the moonlight.
"Brother...I'm here to see you...come to drink with you...!" I unscrewed the Erguotou and sprinkled some in front of the grave...drink a little for myself...spread a little...drink a little.
..
In front of the grave, except for the twitching sound of Adam's apple, the silence was eerie.
