Just near dusk

Along the way, both of them kept silent. In the hot weather, Li Wenjia rubbed his hands as if frozen, because he really didn't know where to put them. At first, he grabbed Mo Xuyou's arm, only feeling This young man was weaker than he had imagined, and the forbearance was revealed from the corners of his tightly pursed lips. The rare silence of a teenager made Li Wenjia, who was in his thirties, feel powerless.

"Brother Li," Mo Xuyou smiled, and said to him with a pale face, "You don't need to help me, I can walk by myself."

"Oh, oh." Hearing this, Li Wenjia quickly let go of his hand, but when he let go, seeing Mo Xuyou walking so calmly and steadily, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, just like when he was a child, he was raped. His father beat him up, instead of crying or fussing, he calmly faced it. This depressed state made him very worried for Xiao Mo.

But looking at Mo Xuyou's tenacious and determined demeanor, walking forward without squinting, it seems that he has forgotten the unpleasant words just now behind him. This kind of strength does not seem to be deliberately disguised, even if it is a disguise, It is also a camouflage engraved in the bones and has been integrated with flesh and blood.

Li Wenjia wanted to support this weak body, but when he remembered what he said just now, he unconsciously took his hand back. He really wanted to comfort Mo Xuyou, but he was afraid that what he said would be wrong and hurt the child heart of.

In this way, in the silence from the beginning to the end, the two returned to the store. Mo Xuyou sat on the chair a little tired. Seeing this, Li Wenjia hurriedly prepared to pour water for him, but at the moment he picked up the cup, Mo Xuyou stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"I want to drink some wine." Mo Xuyou, who has always been a teetotaler, suddenly asked.

"I'll accompany you!" When Li Wenjia heard that he was going to drink, he felt that it was a good idea to use alcohol to relieve his worries. He immediately took out a few bottles of Laobaigan, set out a few plates of side dishes, and poured a full glass for Mo Xuyou.

Mo Xuyou didn't hesitate, and drank it down in one gulp, probably because he had never drank alcohol before, he was so choked that he coughed, until the snot and tears flowed a lot, and then he slowly regained his strength .

Li Wenjia poured him another glass without saying a word.

Mo Xuyou still gulped it down in one gulp, this time it was not as intense as last time, but it just made his eyes hot and red.

Li Wenjia still didn't say anything, and then poured a third cup.

Mo Xuyou learned to drink slowly this time, and finally tasted the taste of the wine. It was so sour and unspeakable, it was hard to swallow, just like most of his life now, hard to recall, but always remembered .

"Brother Li, what do you think of what they said?" After drinking three glasses of wine, Mo Xuyou obviously became more talkative, and he took the initiative to advance this matter to Li Wenjia tonight.

"It's all made up by these two bastards. Xiao Mo, don't take it to heart. If I see those two people in the future, I will beat them every time I see them. Don't I know who you are? Others No matter what I say about you, I will treat it as farting. But, Xiao Mo, don’t hold back what you have, big brother is going through all kinds of difficulties here, there is nothing you can’t get over.” Li Wenjia comforted him and said that these are real things. Speaking from his heart, he hoped that the young man would become more at ease.

Mo Xuyou shook his head, seemed to take a deep breath, and said with some determination: "Brother Li, in fact, a man has approached me several times, and that man is my adoptive father."

Li Wenjia held his breath and listened to Mo Xuyou's words very seriously. He knew that it was not easy for a young man to open his heart, so he carefully controlled his expressions and movements, for fear that an accident would make Mo Xuyou return to silence.

"This is a short story," Mo Xuyou sneered suddenly, and recounted indifferently: "My parents died unexpectedly when I was eight years old, and my relatives in the family were all poor, so no one wanted to take care of me. I was supposed to stay in the orphanage, but was adopted by a family."

"At first, I thought this was a turning point in my fate. They are very nice couples, and Xiaoman, although he is a little autistic, is a very sensible child. The life of those few years, speaking of it, was wonderful. Some dare not let me recall," Mo Xuyou's voice was low, and the expression on his face seemed to be filled with happiness for a moment, but it was only for such a moment that he fell into unspeakable pain again.

"Later, my adoptive father's business was very successful, and our family moved to the city and lived a prosperous life, but he also had a lot of entertainment, and when he got drunk at night, he would become completely different from usual, like a well-dressed People take off their disguise and become beasts!" Mo Xuyou said fiercely: "At the beginning, he was just swearing, we pretended we didn't hear it, but later, he started to fight, beating anyone he saw, without any hesitation. Show mercy, the adoptive mother couldn't take it anymore and chose to call the police, but it was of no use, and all she got was more violent violence every time."

"The adoptive mother left later. She probably felt that the two of us were a burden, so she ran away by herself." Mo Xuyou sneered, swallowed another glass of wine and narrated: "The fact that she left completely wiped out the last of that beast. The camouflage was torn apart, he not only beat and scolded us, but one day after school, I saw, I..."

Mo Xuyou choked up, he grabbed his hair with both hands, tried hard to keep himself awake, his eyes were red and swollen and said: "I saw him do something worse than a beast to Xiaoman and his own son, he He was only eight years old at the time, he couldn't express, he couldn't speak, he didn't understand anything, when I saw this scene, I knelt on the ground and begged him to let my brother go, and come to me if there is anything."

"Hmph," Mo Xuyou calmed down from the intense emotion, and regained that almost cold calm, "Then, he took me off... He grabbed my hair and pressed it on the table .”

"Little Mo," Li Wenjia held Mo Xuyou's shoulders tightly with two big hands, and told him word by word: "Little Mo, this is not your fault, it's all the perverted behavior of that beast."

"I'm fine, Brother Li," Mo Xuyou continued to finish the story, "This situation lasted for three years. Afterwards, I have been keeping an eye on it secretly. On the one hand, I revealed the evidence of his illegal and criminal business I gave it to his opponent, and then distributed the video of him bribing officials, and finally, in the year when I was about to take the college entrance examination, I got rid of him."

Li Wenjia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he thought about it again, no, in this case, how could this person still appear?

Seeing Li Wenjia's doubts, Mo Xuyou signaled that the matter was not over, and continued to talk: "Unexpectedly, after three or four years, he was actually released, and after he came out, he started desperately looking for me to follow him. Xiaoman, when he found out that I worked in the original store, he came to harass me."

"For the first time, he threw money all over my body and told me that he had plenty of money. As long as I obediently go back with him, the past will be ignored. Hmph, I wasn't sure at the time whether he knew where Xiaoman and I lived, so I endured it. No sound."

"The second time, he lost his composure, and even played the emotional card, telling me that what he did was wrong in the past, and how much he cared about me and Xiaoman. I fought with him when I was in the residence, after all, he is old now and is no longer my opponent, but in my panic, I was cut by the knife he took out."

Hearing this, Li Wenjia's expression immediately became tense, and he felt that this old calf should go to the eighteenth floor of hell and let all the evil spirits come and take him for a turn.

"But at that time, a policeman happened to pass by, stopped him in time, and found two suspected gun ammunition bullets from his body, so he is still squatting in the police station, but once he comes out, I will not give him any more any chance."

"No more." Mo Xuyou's eyes sank, there was no emotion in this sentence, only the cold and irresistible ruthlessness, a determination to put that person to death.

After listening to Mo Xuyou's narration, Li Wenjia really felt overwhelmed and couldn't calm down. He didn't know how to comfort this young man with such a rough life experience, and he didn't know how he lived with a brother who was not related by blood all these years. He didn't even dare to think about those three years of dark life, what kind of will he spent through it.

"Little Mo," Li Wenjia was suddenly more excited than he was. He grabbed Mo Xuyou who had calmed down, pressed him against his chest, and said more sadly than him: "Brother, I love you."

This sentence, like an arrow, hit Mo Xuyou's heart, which was almost impregnable, and just hit the most vulnerable place.

The teenager finally burst into tears, and for the first time in 19 years, he cried like a real child.
