Being-Towards-Death

Song Weibin held the big donkey doll his wife had brought as a dowry, spread it out on the sofa and pressed the remote control.Song Jianghan is [-]% like him, but he is small and thin, like the clothes he will wear tomorrow.

The smell of oil in the kitchen is like the bass player of an amateur rock band, because the beat of the drummer is wrong, it becomes pure noise.Song Weibin chose a channel, and then asked the TV: "Brother Shi, how many dishes do you want to cook? There are peanuts in the kitchen, so you should fry them by the way, and there are two bottles of beer in the refrigerator, I'll drink them today!"

Shi Guyuan pulled the potato shreds with vinegar, and the range hood sucked the acetic acid. It was like the howl of a shrew who was sour and jealous. In the world of mortals, it was as sharp and high-pitched as a taut kite string, covering up Song Weibin's nonsense.Shi Guyuan put away the pot and put the shredded potatoes and coke chicken wings on the table together, the last tune-changing sound of the range hood still echoed in his ears.

Shi Guyuan took off his apron, asked Song Jianghan to serve the meal, went to wash his hands, and came back and said, "Binzi, your range hood should be replaced."

Song Weibin fetched cold beer and searched all over the table for orders: "Where's the peanuts? They haven't been roasted."

"You want to eat? Then I'll fry it." This time, Shi Guyuan didn't turn on the range hood, and the decibels measured like a diver, plummeting, and the spray was overwhelming.Shi Guyuan sprinkled salt on the peanuts and said to Song Weibin, "You should also pay attention to the affairs at home. Don't always count on Xu Ping, she is also busy. She is not at home these two days, so remember to turn off the range hood. Changed."

Song Weibin took two mouthfuls of shredded potatoes, put down his chopsticks, leaned against the kitchen door, and chatted with Shi Guyuan: "She is busy, and I am also busy, so busy that Xiaohan seems to have no parents. I have less money and more work, and she It’s because there is more money and more work, not to mention that the state-owned enterprise will lay off employees again. Now she is worried every day, and she wants to show positive performance in front of the leader. Whether it is her own work or not, she will not listen to me. ..."

Shi Guyuan took a peanut and stuffed it into Song Weibin's mouth, which was moistened by the saliva, and it still tasted a bit dull.Shi Guyuan continued to stir fry, and said, "I think Xu Ping is better than you, and she is self-motivated."

Song Weibin said: "Why am I not motivated? I have been promoted to captain!"

Shi Guyuan ordered unkindly: "Captain, take the plate."

Song Weibin picked up an empty plate, and the fresh and fragrant peanuts fell on the jade plate. Song Weibin didn't think it was too hot, so he twisted a few and ate a few, and ate all the way back to the dining table.

At the dining table, Song Jianghan finished eating three chicken wings in a blink of an eye, and didn't eat much rice.Shi Guyuan knocked on the rim of Song Jianghan's bowl, and a majesty that was better than sound grew in Song Jianghan's arms.He picked up the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

Song Jianghanfu straightened his back, and Song Weibin had a discovery like a new continent: "Brother Shi, why did you buy him clothes again?"

Shi Guyuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "Liu Mian chose, he can pick clothes better than me."

Song Weibin wasn't embarrassed, but just curious: "It's good-looking. You also ask him to pick out clothes for you, and you're dressed in black all day long, like someone's filial piety—"

The conversation didn't end, it stopped abruptly.He remembered that Shi Guyuan's adoptive father had just passed away, and he would be the first seven in a few days, isn't he observing his filial piety?Song Weibin was silent, but Shi Guyuan said, "Who is always in black? Have you seen me all day?"

Song Weibin repeatedly said "no".Shi Guyuan said again: "I think you have slept enough during the day, nagging is really annoying."

Song Weibin drank the wine, fermented it instantly in his stomach, turned it into bitter water and spit it out: "Don't blame me, I'm almost exhausted! I'm so tired, I still have to scold."

Shi Guyuan said, "Calling you a few words is not enough."

Song Weibin waved his hand: "It's not you, it's our new Chief Dai. I don't know him well, and he doesn't know how to save face for me. He came back empty-handed yesterday, and scolded me in front of so many police officers." I don't know where to put this old face of mine! I don't think my captain will last long."

Shi Guyuan had a half-smile but not a smile: "You have no skills, why do you blame others for scolding you?"

Song Weibin said: "Who knows, it's strange to say that yesterday we raided the Dongling Mountain villa, and that area was all underground gambling houses. Who in Taoxian City didn't know? It just went to nothing, like a ghost. If you want me to say , someone must have informed you."

Shi Guyuan said: "Whoever let Taoxian be the provincial capital, there are those who are older than you, and there are also those who are younger than you. The big Buddha is easy to give away, but the little devil is difficult to deal with. It is not easy for your city bureau to be caught in the middle."

Song Weibin was deeply touched and wanted to clink glasses with Shi Guyuan.Shi Guyuan didn't drink at all, so he picked up Song Jianghan's cup to resist, it contained dark coke.

Shi Guyuan asked: "Do you have boiled water at home?"

Song Weibin got up to pour water for him, and when he came back, he put down the cup, and the water rippled out.He thought about making up for his apology: "Zheng Zhongtian has been worthwhile all his life. He has everything he should have, and he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy. You...don't be too sad."

Shi Guyuan smiled without saying a word, indifferent in his heart.At the age of 27, he met Song Weibin who was showing the gate to Teng Kong. At that time, Song Weibin was still a 20-year-old boy, dumbfounded, like a newborn calf, which was inherited by Song Jianghan without omission.Once Shi Guyuan was robbed near the company, and it was Song Weibin who ran away with a brick.After getting acquainted with each other, at Song Weibin's request, Shi Guyuan entrusted someone to give him a city hukou, and paid for him to study in the police academy. They have been friends for more than ten years.

But close friends can't get a glimpse of Shi Guyuan's isolated thoughts.Thought is ethereal air, like the ocean under the night, calm on the surface, but dark and turbulent inside.Shi Guyuan's mind is notoriously unfathomable, even Zheng Zhongtian is not sure that he can completely control him.But Zheng Zhongtian chose to believe in him, and believed that he would repay his kindness, so he died simply and neatly with no worries.

Song Weibin didn't understand the story between Shi Guyuan and Zheng Zhongtian.Song Weibin treats others with sincerity, judges others by himself, and intuitively feels that Shi Guyuan is a good citizen, and never thought of probing Shi Guyuan's labyrinthine heart.But he himself took an X-ray film, and taught Shi Guyuan to look at Pi Liyang Qiu.

The room fell silent as if no one was there.Song Jianghan couldn't understand what the adults said, so he concentrated on eating chicken wings; Song Weibin scratched the back of his head in distress, and said: "It stands to reason that Zheng Zhongtian is gone, and his wife should handle the funeral. His wife hasn't shown up until now, I really don't understand What do you mean. On the contrary, you are loyal and filial after running, you have no regrets, you don’t have to hold everything in your heart, if you feel uncomfortable, come to me, close the door, and I will cry with you!"

The labels attached to Shi Guyuan became more and more outrageous, and Shi Guyuan couldn't say that he wasn't sad at all.The misplaced emotion led to the birth of misunderstanding, Song Weibin sympathetically tried to persuade him a few words.A few new interns came under his command, one of them was a well-spoken and talented man, and even Song Weibin was influenced by the essence of several Chinese studies.He was afraid that Shi Guyuan would follow the old way of mourning and refusing to eat. His body was broken and his clothes were getting wider. It would be unhealthy and filial piety for him to go back, so he urged Shi Guyuan to eat. The chopsticks were like a bulldozer, almost pushing a plate full of shredded potatoes. In Shi Guyuan's bowl, it piled up into a mountain, and finally Shi Guyuan was eaten and ran away.

............................................................

This meal accumulation did not ease until the afternoon of the second day.At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Mian drove Shi Guyuan to pick up Zheng Zhichu at Xiaodudong in the north of the city.At seven o'clock, the three of them arrived at Taoxian Hotel on time.

Zheng Zhichu is still the youthful and beautiful brand landscape built by the white shirt and jeans. In the season when Shi Guyuan still wears a thick coat, he changed into a thin coat early on.Shi Guyuan thought that when he was his age, his firepower was not strong, probably because he was afraid of the cold when he was wandering when he was young, and he seldom naked in the scorching heat of summer, so he had to cover his internal organs to feel comfortable; Zheng Zhongtian was silently rebellious, he didn't like his body to be looked at by others.

Ever since Zheng Zhichu got in the car, Shi Guyuan had been huddled in the corner of the back seat, wrapping up his coat tightly and taking a nap.Liu Mian didn't dare to disturb Shi Guyuan's rest, and just nodded to Zheng Zhichu as a greeting, without saying anything along the way.

Zheng Zhichu sits next to Shi Guyuan, and the quiet atmosphere will create the illusion that no one else is there, falling into his own memory world.Zheng Zhichu stole a peek at Shi Guyuan's face: the lines from the bridge of the nose to the chin are smooth and elegant, the tails of the eyes are slightly hooked, the eyelids are double, the eyebrows and lips are well-shaded and well-shaped.Further down, the crooked neck was tightly bound by the placket, and the normal size of the clothes, with the extra edges and corners piled up in thin slices around a handful of thin bones.

Zheng Zhichu thought of Dai Chenming's sly words, "That look with those eyes looking down", elegant and aloof, as if nothing in this world could catch his eyes.But the more abstinent, the more Zheng Zhichu felt that he had been deceived when he thought of the white body under his father, and seeing Shi Guyuan's calm demeanor, the surging in his stomach made him nauseous .

Zheng Zhichu asked in a moderate voice, "Who are we going to see today?"

Shi Guyuan raised his eyelids, but did not make a sound; Liu Mian saw that Shi Guyuan was lazy and didn't want to refute Mr. Zheng's face, so he roughly answered for Shi Guyuan: "The leaders of the East City Branch Bureau , have a good relationship with your father."

Contacting the recent turmoil in the newspaper, Zheng Zhichu suddenly understood, and said contemptuously: "I heard that the sub-bureau was stabbed by the magnificent and magnificent, and such a few small things can't be wiped smoothly." Looking at the motionless Shi Guyuan, "It seems that Boss Shi's face is not worth much."

Shi Guyuan closed his eyes and said, "From now on, I'll leave these little bastards to you. Father Hu has no sons."

Zheng Zhichu was discouraged, and stretched out his hand to push the stone. Liu Mian was afraid that the two of them would stage a martial arts show, so he hurriedly turned his wheel and said, "It's here, you get off first, and I'll park the car."

The leader of the sub-bureau arrived a little earlier than Shi Guyuan and the others, and was drinking coffee at the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.Liu Mian went up to greet them first, Shi Guyuan stood aside with a smile on his face, but Zheng Zhichu saw the impatience hidden in the smile.

Shi Guyuan pulled Zheng Zhichu over and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zheng Zhongtian's son. He lives in the capital all year round, so you may not have seen him." After speaking, he said affectionately, "Xiao Chu, Call Uncle."

Zheng Zhichu had goosebumps all over his body, he called "Uncle" bravely, and a bald man with a big belly said, "Hey, this is not a mess, Mr. Shi, you call us old brother, Mr. Zheng calls you Brother, but you call us uncle, how can there be such a reason? Hahaha!"

Shi Guyuan said with a smile: "Everyone has their own opinions, Xiao Chu is a thin-skinned kid, even my brother finds it awkward, so don't bully him."

Another red-faced man in the sub-bureau said, "It's still my family's guardian. Mr. Shi, you are not in good health and can't drink, but you can't stop Young Master Zheng from drinking today!"

Shi Guyuan said: "Hey, what a coincidence, I can't stop it anymore. I'll have something to do in a while. I'll take care of this. Don't be too polite, let Mr. Liu accompany you." After a while, Shi Guyuan pressed the palm of his hand down, and said, "Next time, I will make amends personally. In the past two days, our company has bought a few new boxes of wine. I will let Mr. Liu move the car up for you later, so I won't accompany you." .”

This is an old rule that Zheng Zhongtian had when he was there, and Zheng Zhichu could imagine that there is more than just wine in the wine box.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, Shi Guyuan was surrounded by people and sent out of the hotel, and Liu Mian swiftly put the wine into the trunk of each leader's car.Taking advantage of the lack of people, Zheng Zhichu pressed Shi Guyuan's hand to drive the door, and asked angrily in a low voice, "Shi Guyuan, what do you mean, you fucking kidding me!"

Shi Guyuan said, "What have I done to you?"

"You called me here, and you ran away first! I—I don't even know those old men!"

Shi Guyuan patted his arm and smiled: "Aren't you going to kill me? Today is the first step of preparation. Besides, Liu Mian is still here. What are you afraid of?"

"Fart, I'm not fucking afraid! I'm—I'm confused! You don't explain anything to me, how can I know what to talk about later?"

Shi Guyuan said: "Don't talk, it's time to eat and drink, let Liu Mian take you home on time, and your mission is completed."

"Then where are you going? I don't believe you're really up to something!"

"Believe it or not," Shi Guyuan smiled wickedly, "Come on, my little son, I'm still waiting for the day you kill me!"

Zheng Zhichu was furious, and smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, but he was sprayed with ashes from the exhaust pipe.
