Wang Xudong got off the tricycle and came to the village. There were rows of villages. Wang Xudong didn't know which one he was in, so he could only ask one by one. When asking where Liu Jun's home was, most of them didn't know what Wang Xudong was asking.
Who is it? However, Wang Xudong had transferred money to Liu Jun's father's account, so he knew his father's specific name. As soon as Liu Jun's father's name was mentioned, he immediately asked.
Wang Xudong found Liu Jun's house without much effort. When he walked to the dilapidated private house in the entire village, the first thing that caught his eye was the words "low-income households" stuck on the wall. From these few words
It can be seen from the words that the conditions at home are indeed not very good.
Wang Xudong shouted at the door: "Is anyone home?"
After shouting a few times, a tough young man who looked to be almost ten years old opened the door curtain with his hand and walked out of the door. He looked Wang Xudong up and down with his eyes wide open, and then asked Wang Xudong in a very unkind tone: "You
Who is it? Qianha?"
This unceremonious and hostile tone surprised Wang Xudong. He was still wondering if he had done something taboo. Otherwise, why would this young man be so aggressive?
"Excuse me, is this Uncle Liu Dabao's house?" Wang Xudong continued to ask politely without caring.
"Who are you? What do you want from my dad? Does my dad know you?" The young man came out and stood in front of Wang Xudong and asked.
"Hello, my name is Wang Xudong, and I am Liu Jun's comrade." Wang Xudong said straightforwardly.
"Liu Jun? My brother?" The young man frowned, and then pushed Wang Xudong directly with his hand.
"Who are you lying to? My brother is already dead, do you want to cheat your comrades? Do you believe it or not that I will beat you to death today?" The young man said as he prepared to take action.
"Brother, stop, stop." At this moment, another older girl rushed out of the room and stopped the young man who was about to hit Wang Xudong.
"What are you doing? Why are you always like this, always getting into fights? You've only been out of the police station for a few days." The older girl stopped the young man and said angrily.
"You know what? This man is a liar. I don't want to beat him to death."
"You're a liar. What did they say? I'm listening. Brother, how old are you? Can you change your temper? I beg you, stop causing trouble. Look at what's going on in our family.
Is that so? Can’t you pity our parents and our parents?” The eldest girl almost burst into tears as she spoke.
"I……"
"Hello, you just said you were my eldest brother's comrade?" The eldest girl turned around and asked Wang Xudong politely with a smile while wiping her tears.
"Yes, I am Liu Jun's comrade." Wang Xudong nodded again.
"I'm sorry, this is my second brother. He has this kind of temper. Don't argue with him. Please come in quickly. Please come in. It's cold outside. Sit inside." The eldest girl politely invited Wang Xudong in.
"Why did you just let him into the house? He is a liar, he..."
"Stop talking." The eldest girl glared at her second brother angrily, and then led Wang Xudong into the house.
Wang Xudong smiled, glanced at the young man who was still staring at him with a very hostile look, and then followed the eldest girl in.
The inside of the house is indeed very shabby, and there is no decent furniture, but there is still a kang, and it is much warmer inside than outside.
"Sit, sit on the kang. There is no tea at home. Let me pour you a cup of boiling water." The eldest girl turned around, found a cup, opened the hot water bottle, washed the cup with hot water, and then poured another cup.
The hot water was handed to Wang Xudong.
Wang Xudong was not polite and took the hot water.
"Don't be so polite here. You don't even know who he is, so you're just serving him tea here. Who are you?" The young man couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Wang Xudong and asked.
"My name is Wang Xudong, and I am Liu Jun's comrade. I came here just to visit Liu Jun's parents. I have fought side by side with him for many years, and we are as close as brothers. The two of us once said that if he dies first, I will take his place.
My parents will take care of them until they die. If I die first, he will take care of my parents until they die. He died before me, and I came here to fulfill my promise to him."
Wang Xudong said seriously, then looked at the simple appearance of the room, looked at the young man and said: "You don't have to be hostile to me, I understand what you are thinking, and suddenly a complete stranger ran in
Anyone who comes to their home will have the most basic defensive mentality. But I am definitely not a liar. If a liar wants to defraud money, he will choose to go to a rich person's home, and there is really nothing to deceive at your home."
"You..." The young man couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over again to beat Wang Xudong.
"Brother, can you go out?" The eldest girl stopped the young man again and begged.
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to insult your family. I was just saying a fact. Being poor is poor, but being poor is not a shameful thing. If you behave upright and do your duty, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Do you smoke?
?" Wang Xudong stood up and glanced at the young man. Before the young man could speak, he took out a cigarette and threw it away.
The young man glared at Wang Xudong, but he took the cigarette and put it in his mouth unceremoniously. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it. After blowing out a puff of smoke, he pointed at Wang Xudong and said, "If you weren't my brother's comrade-in-arms, what would I do today?"
I have to kill you."
"Sir, you said you were my eldest brother's comrade-in-arms. This... we can't verify this. My brother... has passed away."
"I know. I just said that because he left first, I will fulfill my promise. You want me to prove it. I really can't prove it because he and I are in a special unit, so there can't be any
Proof. And since he has passed away, it is impossible for him to testify for me. The only thing I can prove is that he has an irregular oval-shaped birthmark on his left abdomen. Do you know this?" Wang Xudong thought for a while.
Said.
"Yes...really? Second brother?"
"Yes, I have a birthmark on my belly, but it's not big. I didn't notice the shape, but there is indeed a birthmark." The young man said.
"That's it, that's right. I'm sorry, the conditions at home are too poor, and there's not much to entertain, I..." the little girl said quickly.
"You know that the birthmark is my brother's comrade? Are you a soldier?" The young man interrupted his sister and continued to question Wang Xudong.
"Yes, otherwise how can I say we are comrades in arms? But I am not now, I have retired."
"I don't care if you have retired from the army, but you were a soldier before. My brother is not an ordinary person, he is very powerful. Before he became a soldier, no one in the dozens of miles around could beat him. Since you are his comrade, then
It means that you are also good at fighting. Soldiers train every day. It is impossible for you to go out and fight with me. If you can beat me, I will believe you. If you can't, you are a liar. I am today
I have to beat you to death." The young man pointed at Wang Xudong and said. (To be continued)
