murder begins in summer

Thinking back carefully, Qiu Shili thinks that the reason why he is prone to nervousness in winter is related to the fact that big events always happen in winter.

For example, in the winter when he was 19 years old, he put on his eldest brother's earrings, and the whole family was in an uproar.The change happened suddenly, but the influence stretched far away. From now on, no one will treat him as an insignificant accessory, and indeed he can no longer stick to Shi Zhanyang's side.

To wash the black into the white, the workload is huge, it involves a wide range of people, offends more people, and there are fewer and fewer people available, Qiu Shili must learn to be alone.So the days of getting together less and leaving more began. He was often arranged by his elder brother to do business around the world, sometimes to develop new ones, sometimes to interrupt old ones, and to resort to violence from time to time.

Big Brother is always busy, and Qiu Shili is always busy too, not in the same place.

But Shi Zhanyang still couldn't let go of his heart after all, and allocated a group of very good people to him. Among them, one named Jin Shishun was particularly outstanding. The North Korean, the same age as Qiu Shili, was tall and thin, and never refused I put my messy long hair into a pigtail, always like to wear a headset alone, and always listen to only one song of Michael Jackson.

Although, on the whole, Jin Shishun has various problems, such as he is a mute, such as his gloomy and withdrawn behavior is weird and difficult to get along with others, but he is extremely agile in his work, and he will definitely be the first to help several people in any danger. Teammates have blocked bullets, most of the team are willing to see him as a friend, don't call him dumb, call him Ah Shun.

Qiu Shili is also willing to rely on him, not because of the same age, but because he always feels easier to get along with people who don't speak.Because, for most people, Qiu Shili has absolutely no desire to talk, let alone being asked questions. The farther he is from Shi Zhanyang, the more he tends to close himself up, laughing at many people, but not chatting with anyone.

Once, on the plains of Cuba, after a conversation with a regular customer of a drug manufacturer collapsed, it was another narrow escape.Several helicopters carried the injured team. Qiu Shili was trying to stop the bleeding from his calf. Ah Shun next to him was more seriously injured than him. The part where he was shot even started to bleed bile. While treating the wound, he himself acted as if nothing had happened. Of course, he couldn't complain about the pain. He took out a dirty photo from his pocket and pointed it out to Qiu Shili.

In the picture is an old lady, lying on a hospital bed, blurry.

Qiu Shili understood from his gestures and mouth movements that this was his mother.

"Where is she? Where is your mother?" Qiu Shili asked, not caring that he was still bleeding. He squeezed the photo tightly.

Ah Shun panted heavily, looked at him with bright eyes, suddenly started to panic, opened his mouth dumb, and let out a sob that no one could understand in vain, it was broken, primitive, like a cat caught in a trap The animal, which is worrying about the ground, has fallen to its nest in the distance.The blood transfusion packs had been added one after another, and the doctor began to inject him with morphine again, because he was about to faint from the pain, and it was difficult to stay awake, but he still insisted on telling Qiu Shili something.

"Pen! Paper and pen!" Qiu Shili felt his empty pocket and roared loudly. When the paper and pen came in a hurry, he immediately stuffed them into the hand of A Shunxuehulinla, and saw that the pen had just been grasped. He stopped, and struggled to move a few inches on the paper before slipping to the ground.

Jin Shishun passed out, his gray face became even grayer, and he never woke up after that, even though he was injected with a large amount of adrenaline.He died of a ruptured liver and spleen.

The wind was blowing wildly and it took another four to 10 minutes after his death before the helicopter was able to land in a safe zone.Gritting his teeth, Qiu Shili put his photo back into the lining pocket of his suit, and put away the messy paper in his hand. There were two Korean characters written on it, and he didn't know if he had finished writing it.

Later he learned that it was really a place name.

A few weeks later, Shi Zhanyang found the definite news. Together with Qiu Shili, he met Jin Shishun's mother in a small coastal town in North Korea. I don't know what my youngest son is busy with every day, and I haven't seen him for two or three years. I only know that my son will transfer money back every month to repay his father's debts and support her expenses here.

It was difficult for Qiu Shili to tell the truth. He wanted to just continue to act as Ah Shun and send money to the old lady every month, but Shi Zhanyang said directly: "Your son died on official business, and we brought the ashes back to you. .”

As soon as the translated words came out, the old lady was stunned for a long time, and suddenly tears flowed down her cheeks.

Shi Zhanyang said again: "We will be responsible for supporting your life in the future."

The old lady was already bursting into tears, but she couldn't utter a sound, even more silent than her child's last time.

Qiu Shili's eyes were sour. He had seen too many deaths, but he rarely forced himself to relive a certain scene like this, like tearing off a new scab on a scar repeatedly.It was rare for him to see such straightforward sadness in his eldest brother's eyes.

He stood up and bowed to the old man with Shi Zhanyang, but before leaving, she stopped them, "Sir, gentlemen," the old lady cried, "My son...he has been in prison, he has not , he has not gone astray again!"

Shi Zhanyang was nailed to the spot, staring at the base of the pale wall, unable to look back at her, Qiu Shili took a deep breath, turned around and said firmly, "Ah Shun is a good man, he has never done anything bad."

Then he grabbed his elder brother's wrist and left the ward.

They walked on the road, North Korea is really a difficult country, communications, food, and even time, seem to be isolated from the outside world, on the streets that are clean because of the emptiness, people go to and from work in groups, there is a kind of frozen Serenity makes this cold December more quiet.

This is the winter when Qiu Shili was 21 years old.

An interesting thing happened to Qiu Shili when he was 23 years old in winter. To be precise, it was a bit dumbfounding.Everyone knows that Shi Zhanyang has never had a birthday, but this year he is 30 years old, Qiu Shili has been overcoming difficulties since half a month ago, and the pillow wind is blowing at the same time. It is really December On the 24th, early in the morning of Shi Zhanyang's birthday, he got him into the birthday car.

They also brought the fourth child with them. This kid is 15 years old this year, and he has already surpassed Qiu Shili in size. He leaned on the back seat, looking at the forest in northern California that is not too wintery, with a lack of interest on his face. However, his little black dog has also grown into a big black dog, much more lively than him, jumping up and down with its paws on the window.

Shi Zhanyang is in a good mood, he likes to be taken for a ride on the mountain road by Qiu Shili, especially when there is no enemy chasing after him, and he sent Yaodi to the club bought by his second two years ago to play Racing cars, it’s hard to see each other now, and I always feel that I have a lot to say.

"When I was young," he made a gesture of affection, "Did your second brother bully you?"

Shi Yufeng glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "No."

Shi Zhanyang nodded.In the past two years, the second child basically didn't go home, and didn't make troubles. He guarded a few military factories that were allocated out, and the goods supplied to the drug dealers no longer had the Shi's brand. Yang does not rule out the possibility that he has other ideas, but also believes that this is the best state that can be achieved so far.

"When do you want to go home, don't feel embarrassed." He said again.

Shi Yufeng didn't buy it, "I don't want to live with you, why would I want to go home."

Qiu Shili frowned, and honked the horn twice, "Xiaofeng!" He raised his voice, "Your brother is birthday today!"

Shi Yufeng also seemed a little ashamed, lowered his head, "Oh."

Shi Zhanyang laughed loudly, squeezed Qiu Shili's shoulders, looked at the crows flying in front of him, and the dense beech forest, "Your sister-in-law and I are not often at home now, but we can see you every day when you go back. To Xiao Hei."

They finally came to the northernmost tip of the Sierra Nevada, in a small forest cabin. This room was where Zhan Yang hunted wild boars during the winter hunting a few years ago. After his father died, he never found a free time. come over.

The arrival time was around two o'clock in the afternoon. Qiu Shili hurriedly swept away the dust in the house, lit the fireplace, turned on the portable projector he brought, and played a movie for Shi Zhanyang, asking him to stay in the house. do not move.

Afterwards, he dragged Shi Yufeng to do odd jobs, wandered outside for more than two hours, and brought back a bunch of wild game, such as mushrooms, wild birds, salmon... Shi Zhanyang looked at his frozen red face, sticky He took off the gray jacket of dead leaves and grass, and clearly remembered the barking of dogs and the sound of gunshots from a distance.

It was the first time for Qiu Shili to do work such as plucking hair and scales, and one of his two helpers could only chop wood and light the fire, and the other was even more insane, only wagging his tail and walking around the stove , he kept tossing and tossing until it was dark, and after a long time of research on the table, the dishes that he managed to get were served on the table.

"I also brought vodka." Qiu Shili pressed Shi Zhanyang against the table, and ran outside to the car to get the wine.Wrapped in the cold air, he returned to the house, and actually carried a small bucket in his hand, which was ice cubes that had been frozen in advance.

"It's too strong without ice." He explained, knelt on the blanket, and poured his elder brother a drink.

Shi Yufeng was sent there to heat up the fireplace a little more. When he returned to the table, his face was green with hunger, and he was staring at the fish on the plate. try it.

Shi Zhanyang looked at them with squinted eyes, with a happy face of "I am the winner in life", he picked up his chopsticks and tasted one dish after another.

"It's delicious, especially this beer duck," he ate very elegantly, and commented seriously, "it's better than Chinese restaurants."

When Shi Yufeng saw him take the first bite, he immediately wolfed it down as if he had been granted an amnesty. Qiu Shili picked up a piece of duck meat and tasted it carefully. "It's too salty," he rubbed his face angrily. Picky, he is very clear, "The meat of the wild duck is too tight, and it is not burnt."

"It suits my taste." Shi Zhanyang spoke uprightly.

Shi Yufeng's mouth was full of oil, and he cooperated: "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is still very good."

Qiu Shili felt very shy for no reason, and continued to taste other dishes, then clinked glasses to drink, and observed the face of the elder brother.He always felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't put it into words. His mind was running wild. Seeing the table halfway down, he actually wondered how the woodland is so quiet at night. How is the sound insulation effect of this wooden house? After all, the atmosphere is good after drinking a little wine. And it's rare to have time, he doesn't want to waste it...

Or simply discuss with the fourth child and ask him to wear earplugs?

Qiu Shili shook his head. If he thinks about it again, he will definitely blush. After so many years, he has already been able to retract freely in front of the evil spirits, but Shi Zhanyang's eyes can directly knock him back to his original shape. He warned himself , You can't think about it any more, you really do something stupid like discussing that kind of problem with a child.

So he raised his glass with both hands again, and toasted Shi Zhanyang. He straightened his waist and sat upright in a standard Japanese style, "Brother, happy birthday."

Shi Zhanyang looked at him appreciatively, and the rims of the cups collided crisply, "You have worked hard this year, ナナ."

Qiu Shili's eyelashes flickered, if it weren't for the presence of the fourth brother, he would definitely have crawled to the other side of the Sifang table and leaned into the arms of the eldest brother.He wanted to say something, but he was so startled that he bit his tongue out——when Zhan Yang just put down his wine glass, he slapped down on the table, unconscious.

Shi Yufeng thought it was drunk, but how could Qiu Shili believe his nonsense, and he didn't care about 21, he didn't bother to put on his jacket, and when he wanted Shi Yufeng to bring a little of every dish, he himself put Shi Zhan Yang got on the off-road vehicle and slammed on the accelerator. In less than 15 minutes, he traveled through the forest and came to the nearest small town.

The community hospital is at the entrance of the town, Shi Yufeng jumped out of the car to knock on the door, Qiu Shili also carried the person on his back, Shi Yufeng found that he was crying, and the tears fell hot like beads, but he seemed to be Didn't realize it at all.

"The door is closed," Shi Yufeng said with difficulty, "It should be Christmas."

Qiu Shili wiped away his tears, and also saw clearly the notice posted on the door, which showed the contact numbers and addresses of several major doctors, one of whom was next door. "Carry your brother on your back." Qiu Shili said simply, seeing Shi Zhanyang leaning firmly on Yaodi's shoulder, he directly stepped over the low fence of the doctor's house next door, ran to the door of his house and rang the doorbell frantically.

There was a dog in the yard barking furiously, which made Xiao Hei in the car bark too.

Shi Yufeng stood outside the courtyard and watched from a distance, only to see the door open, and soon a dispute arose, within 2 minutes Qiu Shili actually drew a gun from the back of his waist, raised it to face the door, "You have to!" Yu Feng only heard this sentence clearly, because Qiu Shili said it very seriously.

Shi Yufeng felt very magical, and when he thought of his little sister-in-law, panting and red with teary eyes, wearing a red turtleneck sweater for Christmas, but doing something similar to hijacking, he felt even more magical.

Immediately, a man with a big belly came out in pajamas with his hands raised, followed by a woman who seemed to be his wife.One of them is a doctor and the other is a nurse. In the middle of the night, the small hospital opened just like that, and several other medical staff came. Of course, Qiu Shili also put away the guns, and the police cars came rattling. Several cars.

He was taken to the local police station that night.

Before leaving, he looked very calm, put on his dirty flip-collar jacket, and gave Shi Yu Feng some instructions, as if he had never been drunk or cried.Shi Yufeng honestly handed over the samples of those dishes to the doctor, silently guarding the corridor, and the result of waiting was not serious.

Those mushrooms are not poisonous, and it's not about wild ducks and salmon. It's just that there is a kind of wild vegetable used to enhance the flavor, which can make people allergic to it. His elder brother was hit by the trick, and the effect of alcohol made him dizzy fall down.

Fortunately, Shi Zhanyang is in good health and very durable. Before the gastric lavage, he regained consciousness. After the gastric lavage and then went to sleep, his whole body regained his energy. In the morning, when the sky was bright, he changed into the hospital gown. , Call Yaodi to ask, where is your sister-in-law?

Shi Yufeng said dryly, "I've been arrested."

Shi Zhanyang quickly figured out the cause and effect. Qiu Shili, whom he was thinking of, was sued by a doctor and was still staying at the police station. Since the emergency was minor, he would be detained for ten days. As for drunk driving, Qiu Shili was ordered to After completing [-] hours of community labor, they still have to lose money.

In fact, Zhan Yang was good friends with the police chief of the California General Department at the time, but he behaved very indifferently, neither hired a lawyer nor released him on bail, and did not return to his hometown in San Francisco to work. Instead, he visited the police station as if on vacation. , chatting with him through the fence.

"The messenger here is so scary!" Shi Zhanyang said.

Qiu Shili had very dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night, "It's as long as you're fine, brother. It's all my fault."

Shi Zhanyang, in front of the police officers standing by, said nonchalantly, "I really want to kiss you now, and I will kiss you tomorrow."

Qiu Shili's eyes were straightened. Even though others couldn't understand Chinese, his face still burned up quickly. Because of the sudden disconnection of the eldest brother, "Don't talk about this..."

"I will do what I say." Shi Zhanyang looked at the younger brother with a smile.

This kind of mafia boss really pays attention to keeping his promises. When he came to visit the next day, not only did he not go through the fence, but he even got a cozy cabin in the police station to meet alone. The sign on the door was "Psychological dredging room".

There was even a little police officer delivering biscuits and black coffee to them, and then closed the door and left.

Shi Zhanyang is not interested in this kind of instant food. He seems to only want to fulfill a nonsensical promise. He nestled on the sofa, hugged Qiu Shili in his arms and kissed him enough. He took off his clothes and said to the brightly red Qiu Shili, see you tomorrow.

For the rest of the days, Shi Zhanyang brought Shi Yu Feng here twice, and the rest of the time he was alone. He knew that Qiu Shili was alone, so he felt relieved. Qiu Shili told him once. When he wanted to go home, he would play funny, "ナナ, you have to get used to it, hang out with me sooner or later and settle down inside, first give me a warm bed."

Qiu Shili was teased by him for a whole ten days, gnashing his teeth, staring straight, blushing, always yelling when parting: "Brother, please don't come tomorrow!"

Shi Zhanyang responded to him with a haha, and always arrived on time the next day, and he became familiar with the guards.

He knew that although Qiu Shili couldn't help being funny on the surface, in fact, he didn't feel too lonely because of his trash talk.

On the tenth day, Shi Zhanyang drove with Brother Yao and the dog to pick up Qiu Shili home, passing by the gas station, Shi Zhanyang went to a small supermarket, Qiu Shili stood outside the car to refuel, put down the oil gun and put it away. Got a text message:

[Send the fourth child directly to Auckland Airport in a while, let him go back to training by himself]

This place is indeed not far from the airport, and Shi Yufeng was really tired of staying, and was eager to take the opportunity to return to his racing club in Australia, but Qiu Shili felt that it was very unusual, after all, the eldest brother always wanted the fourth child to stay at home for a few more days .

He called Shi Zhanyang, and the other person answered immediately, and he said: "Let Xiaofeng go home for two days before leaving, he should be willing."

Shi Zhanyang smiled and said, "I don't want to."

Qiu Shili was greatly surprised: "What?"

Shi Zhanyang pushed the door out of the supermarket, and walked towards Qiu Shili from a distance, "Let's drive slowly on the way home, it's just the two of us."

Qiu Shili stared at the plastic bag in his hand, lowered his voice, avoiding the younger brother and the dog in the car, "...Brother, you didn't buy that..."

Shi Zhanyang had already approached, but he still didn't hang up. His hearty voice came to Qiu Shili's ears from the receiver, "There are our commonly used brands, but I don't know when new ones will be released."
