In Qiqihar, a small restaurant open day and night was empty, with only two people sitting in the corner.
"Old Ghost" and "Little Leizi" celebrate the festival with a plate of dumplings and half a head of garlic.
However, even for such a simple New Year's Eve dinner, the "old ghost" took a long time to eat it and just had a bowl of dumpling soup before he could barely swallow it.
Not because it didn't taste good, but because he was sick, had a fever, coughed and was shivering.
Based on his own experience, he judged that it was probably pneumonia.
And "Xiao Leizi" saw him feeling uncomfortable and couldn't bear to persuade him.
"Brother, let's go to the hospital. Seeing you like this makes me worried. How can I leave on my own? Let's wait until you recover and then..."
But the "old ghost" said firmly.
"Don't talk nonsense. We finally cleared the road and gave you all the money, but you don't leave when it's time to leave? If you stay, how can the remaining money be enough for two people to buy another road?"
"What's more, only one person is the safest. If both of us are 'broken', not to mention losing our capital. Maybe we will bite each other after we 'get in'. No one will trust the other. In the end
No one can survive without the friendship..."
"Xiao Leizi" suppressed his excitement and retorted.
"Brother, I won't. Even if I die, I won't betray you."
The "old ghost" sneered breathlessly.
"That's because you are naive. Why don't you understand? The reason why we take this road is to survive. Our own lives are more important than anything else. We must try our best to survive."
"I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, let's use an analogy. If we really fall out, I promise to turn away without even looking at you. I will never let you drag me down."
"Leizi, it's not easy to be the 'player master'. Every evil deed must be punished. Neither of us are good people. Neither of us will end well."
"I will give you a final message. When you reach this point, you can only continue to move forward on your own. Those who can endure the pain and eliminate all emotions and desires will be able to survive for two more days. Those who cannot endure it.
, achieve success early. You can weigh it yourself!"
With that said, he took another thing out of his arms and handed it over under the table.
"Take it, it's yours."
When "Xiao Leizi" saw it, he saw that it was "Old Ghost's" self-defense weapon, a three-edged military thorn, so he naturally refused.
But the "old ghost" started coughing again and stretched out his hands to stop him from talking.
When you calm down, tell him firmly.
"I have to stay in the country for the time being, and it's safer than you. But it's different for you. From now on, you're in a foreign country with no useful guy, how about that?"
"You have to remember, there must be an eye behind the scenes, don't trust anyone. If you are unfamiliar with the place, you can tolerate it if you can, but if you really can't, you will kill me if you take action!"
"By the way, if you really have a foothold outside, never come back. No kidding, I have seen it through. There is no room for people like us in this country, the government is too powerful. You have really broken the law, let alone living in seclusion, you are just poaching
If you hide three feet below the ground, you can only escape the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade."
"The 'Red Boy' can see it clearly. In the past, we thought other people were stupid, but now it seems that we ourselves are stupid. No one wants to be angry or poor. But no one can see that the times have changed and want to live a better life.
As a person, you can no longer just be a gangster."
"I really regret it now. I regret that I led you to a dead end. Don't blame me, brother..."
"Xiao Leizi" felt sad in his heart and said again unconvinced.
"Brother, how can you think so! I don't regret it, I really don't regret it! It's not too late for me to thank you."
"If I hadn't followed you, I would have been beaten to death or starved to death. Although I am the eldest brother, you actually treat me like a father to his own son."
"Brother, I haven't separated from you yet. I don't want to leave. I can't bear to leave you..."
The "old ghost" choked and coughed for a while, and then gave him a mouthful of anger.
"You're worthless! Why are you acting like a bitch? Why don't you get skinned alive when you go out like this? You're such a coward, and all the hard work I've spent on you is in vain. Everyone has his own life, and now he can only leave.
You tell me which step you have reached. Do you understand?"
Seeing "Xiao Leizi" being lectured, he became speechless.
The "old ghost" couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, so he patted his shoulder, softened his tone, and said a few words of comfort.
"Don't be sad. Mountains cannot touch each other, but people can always meet. As long as we can survive, we can always meet. People and people are destined."
He then instructed him, "Go, don't think about it. Ask the cook to bring me another bowl of dumpling soup. I'll go out to pee first, and when I come back, you will serve me again and give me a good squeeze on my back."
In this way, "Little Leizi" gained some energy and hurried to the kitchen after being told.
But strangely enough, when he brought the dumpling soup back, he didn't see the "old ghost" for five or six minutes.
Gradually, he began to feel that something was wrong, so he took his bag and went out to look for someone.
But now I discovered something strange.
Because his penis was so bulging, there was an inexplicable hard thing that touched his hand.
When he opened it, he found a small music box made of pure gold, only the size of an inkwell.
Now "Xiao Leizi" was stunned, and an ominous omen came to his mind.
I'm sorry, this is the only token left by the "Old Ghost"'s father, a Cossack officer who once served the Tsar, to his biological son when he was deported back to the Soviet Union in 1954.
"Little Leizi" knows that this is the most important thing around "Old Ghost".
He thought it was funny when he was a child and saw it, but he couldn't even touch it, but now it "flyed" into his bag.
This... what does this mean? Do you still need to ask?
An uncontrollable sadness surged into "Little Leizi"'s heart.
His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized that the person who was the best to him in the world had quietly left him.
He didn't even let him fulfill his promise to pinch his back again, and just left empty-handed.
Her ruthless words just now were just a lie to him, just to allow him to leave happily.
Bad!
"Little Leizi" suddenly went crazy and felt deeply sorry for the "old ghost".
I feel that if I don't get my eldest brother back, I simply won't be able to survive.
So he ran out of the restaurant door.
Unfortunately, as far as the eye can see, there is snow all around.
The streets and alleys were extremely cold, and the lights were dim so that even the footprints could not be distinguished.
"Brother!"
"Xiao Leizi" shouted at the top of his lungs.
There was no response from the end of the street, only the sound of two kicks.
He ran to the other side and howled again.
But it's still the case, and this time there seems to be a few more mareizi.
Still unwilling to give in, he tried his best and kept shouting.
"Big brother! Big brother! Big brother! Big brother!"
The sound is definitely louder than the roar of a locomotive.
Unfortunately, apart from the echo, there was only silence and the faint roar of firecrackers in the distance.
He couldn't scream anymore, his legs went weak, he knelt on the snow and cried.
At this time, when he opened the lid of the music box, two little angels with bare butts popped out.
As they turned, the melody of the Requiem sounded in the streets.
Harmonious and peaceful music rippled and spread out in the night.
