his robbery

Andre sat in the corner of the single ward with a colorful cake box on his lap.The lid of the box was opened, and while eating the cream cake, he watched the doctor give Huo Xiangzhen an injection.The X-ray film has been taken, and the blood test has been done, and it turns out that Huo Xiangzhen has suffered from pneumonia again.

This time the illness came very urgently. When Huo Xiangzhen was admitted to the hospital, she was already delirious with fever, and her breath was not smooth, her face turned blue and purple.After some first aid, now he finally fell into a peaceful sleep.Andre washed away the dry black blood on his head and face, and was able to sit down steadily to eat the cream cake brought by Bai Mani.

The cake is cold and soft, and the cream is thick and greasy.Andre chewed and swallowed one mouthful at a time. The difficulty at this moment has been passed, and he dare not think about what will happen tomorrow.Those dreams he had before now seem to be all in vain; he thought that they would be able to live with food and drink when they were young, healthy and strong, but the fact is that he was beaten with a head injury and blood, Huo Xiangzhen was tortured all night——

He didn't want to say the next word.Because it feels dirty, especially I don't want to use it on Huo Xiangzhen.

In the corridor outside the ward door, Bai Mani and Gu Chengxi sat side by side on a bench against the wall.The two would occasionally talk in a low voice.

"I didn't know you had a grudge against my elder brother." Bai Mani said softly while looking ahead, not looking at Gu Chengxi.

Gu Chengxi murmured: "No enmity."

"No grudges?"

Gu Chengxi shook his head and stopped talking.He has nothing to say to Bai Mani, and he has no obligation to confess his heart to everyone.Besides, even Huo Xiangzhen himself couldn't understand his thoughts, let alone others.

After a long quarrel and confrontation, both of them seemed to be tired and depressed.Bai Mani said again: "If you go, I will go too. The eldest brother is under surveillance now, and no one has the ability to sneak him out of the hospital, so you and I can rest assured. Remember, keep your mouth shut, And your people. Of course, if you think it is a glorious thing for you to harm my elder brother like this, you can spread it all over the world. Anyway, my elder brother only has one life, and he will die if he is in a hurry. You Gu Jun You must live a long life, you live slowly and see who is scolded and who is ashamed!"

Gu Chengxi turned to look at him, with a half-smile but not a smile: "Mani, you're really good!"

Leaning on his cane, Bai Mani stood up unsteadily: "Why, are you afraid of me?"

Bai Mani and Gu Chengxi left the hospital with their own concerns.Gu Chengxi needed to change clothes, eat something, find a place to sort out his thoughts - his mind was too chaotic, he had to retreat temporarily and regroup.

Bai Mani also returned to Lianzhai by car.After getting out of the car and entering the gate, he walked all the way into the East Wing.The East Wing is Lian Yi's smoke room, the air is hot and always mixed with the smell of opium smoke, making people dizzy and slightly intoxicated.Taking off his cold coat outside, he walked into the inside by holding the door frame.His left leg was really not in control, and his last step was to jump to the front of the heating bed with one leg.

Lian Yi was wearing a thin white silk gown and crimson trousers, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the Kang, looking at him.He ignored it, went directly to the kang and rolled inside, lit the lamp and started to burn the smoke.After inhaling five big cigarette bubbles in one breath, his curled up body gradually stretched out, his cold cheek was pressed against the warm pillow, he pushed the pipe away, and let out a long breath.

Then lazily turned over, he crawled to Lian Yi and sat up.Taking a sip from the teacup, he heard Lian Yi ask himself: "Why did you come back?"

Moving sideways behind Lian Yi, Bai Mani leaned on a satin cushion and sat against the wall.Stretching his hand under Lian Yi's gown, he touched the bloody scabs on the opponent's back - his injury was healed, but Lian Yi's injury was not healed. Dragon Snake is still a flower.

"I'm looking at Gu Chengxi." He raised his head and closed his eyes, his voice was weak: "On the first day of the new year, he bullied my elder brother's house."

Lian Yi suddenly became interested: "What do you mean? Gu Chengxi also went to Huo's house?"

Bai Mani patted him on the back: "I took a team of guards and smashed the small building where my elder brother lived. The glass was broken, and there was a whistling wind in the house. My elder brother is sick, Pneumonia, the fever was so high that I was sent to the hospital."

Lian Yi chuckled twice: "Fresh! Isn't Gu Chengxi very respectful to Huo Jingheng? When Huo Jingheng was mentioned at that time, he was very handsome."

Bai Mani was silent for a moment, and then replied: "It seems that he also paid New Year's greetings to my elder brother, but... my elder brother didn't give him a good face."

Lian Yi turned around and snuggled into Bai Mani's arms, stretching his legs comfortably at the same time.Raising his hand and stroking his back, he replied with a smile: "Xiao Gu is good at temper now. It's normal for a young man to succeed! As for Huo Jingheng, he has been stubborn since he was a child, and now he still puts on the air of being quiet and handsome. Eat something." A loss is not a grievance.”

He raised his hand and patted Bai Mani's face backwards, and he asked with a smile: "This time I met your elder brother too, how is it? If you are anxious with me in the future, will I be able to return after scratching?" Is it home?"

Bai Mani put his lips close to his ear, and cursed clearly: "Fart your mother!"

Lian Yi withdrew his hand, and looked at his nails along the way: "Oh, this little mouth is so powerful, it sprayed half of my face with saliva."

Bai Mani pressed his hand, not letting him see: "I tell you, these few days you stay obediently in Beiping, you are not allowed to go to Tianjin, you will go alone, I will not follow you!"

Lian Yi smacked his lips: "Don't you still have to go back to your mother's house?"

Bai Mani became impatient: "I'm thinking about my elder brother! There is no one around him, only a white Russian boy!"

Lian Yi laughed tremblingly when he heard this: "Really, you brought Huo Jingheng home, and I will take care of you for you."

Bai Mani immediately shoved him: "Go away, go play with your Ziming!"

Lian Yi swayed according to his strength, and was pulled back into his arms by him: "You old man, do you hear me? Don't go to Tianjin, I won't go anyway!"

Lian Yi crossed Erlang's legs and swayed back and forth with one foot.Humming and laughing again, he pressed the back of his head on Bai Mani's chest: "Actually, I didn't plan to go to Tianjin at all. What are you going to do in Tianjin?"

Bai Mani suddenly changed his innocent tone: "Go and find that little opera singer!"

Lian Yi fumbled to grab his hand, and brought it to his lips for a kiss: "Really, son, why don't you know how to be jealous? You don't care about feelings and money, so you're not afraid that I'll let others win over you?"

Hearing this, Bai Mani was suddenly speechless.That's right, don't look at feelings and look at money, logically speaking, he should try to occupy Lian Yi's body and mind, but unfortunately he has no ambitions and no interest; probably because he really has no feelings for Lian Yi, so he won't be jealous, but They have been together day and night for two years, and they have spent more than 700 days getting tired of it. Since there is no enmity, there must still be some unavoidable ties.

"You figure it out!" He said to Lian Yi: "Anyway, I'm a cripple and have a bad temper, so I'm fine with just a face. You see how much affection and money I'm worth, and give it according to your estimate. I don't bargain, you give it to me." I will take as much as you want. If you don’t give it, I won’t rely on you.”

Lian Yi listened with a smile, but his heart was not very happy.People love to be willful when they are young and old.He is living with Bai Mani very willfully now, although Bai Mani is really lackluster except for his face.

As soon as he sat up straight, he stretched his legs to get off the kang: "Don't be lazy, I have to go out in the afternoon."

Bai Mani grabbed him and said, "You come back, what kind of amazing family has to ask you to come to pay New Year's greetings in person? If you run away, there will be no sign, and people will have to wait for you for dinner until seven or eight o'clock , It's annoying to be hungry! Come up, let's lie down and talk for a while. Have dinner early today, so I can go to the hospital after eating."

Lian Yi turned to look at him and smiled: "I'm not joking, something really happened."

Bai Mani hugged him from behind, and dragged him onto the kang involuntarily.So Lian Yi said with a helpless smile: "Little brat, what a fucking grind!"

After dinner, there was a lot of gambling in Lian Zhai, and I don't know how many tables of cards were played in the front and back yards.Bai Mani took advantage of the chaos to go out and went straight to Xiehe Hospital, followed by the captain of the guard as usual.

The captain of the guard helped him to the door of the ward and let go.He pushed open the door and walked in, only to see that the lights in the room were bright, it was so bright that it made people's complexions turn blue, with a bit of the tragic appearance of the survivors after a catastrophe.Huo Xiangzhen changed into the patient's clothes, and hugged the quilt half-lying and half-sitting.Andre was sitting by the bed, feeding him a small bowl of soup.Suddenly hearing the sound of the door, Huo Xiangzhen turned around and met Bai Mani face to face.

Neither of them spoke, Huo Xiangzhen just watched, and Bai Mani just left.Moving to the bed step by step, he sat on the chair in front of the bed.

Later, it was Huo Xiangzhen who spoke first, her voice was low and hoarse: "It's much better than before."

Bai Mani replied softly: "I used to be delicate and afraid of pain and tiredness. Later, I ran around, sometimes I couldn't do without walking, and I gradually got out of it."

Then he stretched out his hand tentatively, and touched Huo Xiangzhen's forehead.He didn't tell Huo Xiangzhen about his situation, but like a guilty conscience, he insisted that his elder brother knew everything.

He was afraid that his elder brother would think he was dirty, so he wouldn't let him touch it.

Huo Xiangzhen was still staring at Bai Mani. The distance between the two was very close, but it felt very far away to him, as if there were two years or two centuries between them.The younger brother is still thin and slender, with long eyebrows reaching his temples, and a pair of watery and cold eyes. He is a young actress with residual makeup, but it is too fragrant, as if a pool of perfume has been soaked. .

Withdrew his hand embarrassingly, Bai Mani said to Andre, "It's still hot."

Andre held a small bowl in one hand and a small spoon in the other, his blue eyes shone brightly: "The doctor said, it's not dangerous anymore."

Then he bowed slightly again: "Thank you."

Bai Mani shook his head, thinking that this white Russian boy regarded himself as an outsider.So he saved his eldest brother, and he wanted to thank him.

At this moment, Huo Xiangzhen suddenly said again: "Mani, do you have a pen and paper?"

Apart from writing checks, Bai Mani seldom wrote on weekdays, so he touched his whole body. He got up and wanted to ask someone to bring a pen and paper.However, Huo Xiangzhen reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and whispered angrily: "Come here, listen to me."

Without thinking, Bai Mani moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, leaning over and putting his ear to his lips.And Huo Xiangzhen first gave an address in Tianjin word by word, and then said: "This man is Li Kechen, you send him a telegram in the name of Andre, asking him to inform Xue Bing to return to Peking to see me..."

Having said that, he turned his head and coughed a few times.He raised his hand to cover his mouth and panted for a while, then he put down his hand and asked softly, "Do you remember?"

Bai Mani repeated the address in a low voice without any difference.Then, as if subconsciously, he naturally lay on Huo Xiangzhen's chest.

After lying on the ground, he was startled.And Huo Xiangzhen's body froze for a moment, looking down at Bai Mani in front of his chest, he suddenly realized how familiar and long-lost this small amount was.

Raising a hand to put on Bai Mani's back, Huo Xiangzhen seemed to have fallen into a torrent.The big waves wiped out his power and dignity, and he also thought about going with the current, and he also thought about knowing the current affairs. He thought that as long as he was self-sufficient and clean, he would have the dignity of living in poverty and living in peace.He didn't expect that even Gu Chengxi couldn't resist the gate of his own house.

If the tide of the times will only sweep him from unbearable to even more unbearable, then he can't sit still and have no choice but to swim against the current.The younger brother is so young and light, he will not be able to rely on his help to survive in the future.Grabbing Bai Mani's hand by the bed, he lowered his eyes to look.Small paws, soft and thin, with cream and face powder on the back of the hand, and a layer of shiny oil on the nails.His fingers were thin and long, and he wore several rings on one hand.What a beautiful and frivolous hand it is, pitifully selling out its style.

Huo Xiangzhen held back his cough, closed his fingers and squeezed this hand into his palm.

Bai Mani went back to Lian Zhai at night.After one night, he went out blindfolded and sent a telegram to Li Kechen in Tianjin.

Then he went to the hospital.In the corridor, he saw Gu Chengxi outside the door of the ward from a distance.

Gu Chengxi was alone, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, at first glance he looked quite decent.With one arm wrapped around his chest, he held a cigarette in one hand and put it to his nose to sniff repeatedly.Andre is now a man in charge of the gate, and he can't get in the ward, so he can only sit outside.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Mani came to the hospital again, only to find that Gu Chengxi sat down on the bench early as if he was on duty.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Mani did not show up, but Xue Bing came.

Xue Bing was dressed in casual clothes, with a team of followers.Walking through the corridor without saying a word, he turned a blind eye to Gu Chengxi who was beside the door.The policeman who was strolling back and forth saw him and stepped forward to stop him, but the entourage at the back stretched out his hand and pushed him staggeringly—they were Qiu Ba, how could Qiu Ba be afraid of the police?

Turning around and standing at attention in front of the ward door, Xue Bing said loudly, "Report to Commander, Xue Bing is here."
