brotherly innocence

"It is said that there was such a woodcutter in their mountains, who cut firewood. In the winter, he saw a snake that was about to freeze to death. He was so pitiful. He couldn't deal with it anymore. Well, he hid the dying snake in his arms, and used the heat of his chest to warm the cold beast, and warm its life. The snake came back to life, by the way. The woodcutter, alas, is very affectionate. The woodcutter thought that he would be alone and have a companion to make him feel less lonely, so he would leave this snake behind. People who came and went persuaded him, the beast, after all, is a beast, and it is not familiar with it. But, within a month, hey, he was bitten to death by a snake. Or rather, he was a beast."

When Boss Qin glanced at Chu Yaonan, Yaonan avoided him in panic, and for some reason, he didn't dare to look at his father again.With mixed feelings in my heart, could my father see some flaws?No, no, could it be that this cold-blooded poisonous snake that has been raised for 20 years is him?

"Nan'er, what's the matter, aren't you feeling well?" The father asked with concern, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead and said, "This child, why is his body always so weak." After that, he patted his back, pinched him and said: "Look at the bones and no flesh in this body. Dad is right. You don't gain flesh by just eating. You have no conscience."

He suddenly remembered that when he was a picky eater, his father coaxed and threatened him to eat, sat him on his lap, fed him spoon by spoon, and pretended to grab the food in the spoon. He grabbed his father's hand and put the food in the spoon into his own mouth. In fact, he didn't like the food.But he still remembers the rich and funny expressions on his father's face.

Boss Qin went to rest, while Yaonan and Qin Rong looked at the river at night from the terrace. The neon lights on both sides of the river were shining brightly one by one, casting strange colors on the surface of the river.

"The old man is in a bad mood. I had a bad day, so don't take it to heart. I heard what Adan and the others told me when I came back. No matter what others say, you know the old man. He is afraid of losing you, so he has nothing to do." Don't try to subdue you. Maybe we don't understand, but he loves you in his heart." Qin Rong patted Yaonan on the shoulder.

Chu Yaonan turned sideways, looked at Qin Rong with a self-deprecating smile and said, "I'm not like you, I want to be shameless. Since I was young, I was used to being beaten by him, kneeling in the yard, with the dog, and being beaten by him, hehe... ..." Drinking a glass of wine mockingly, playing with the empty wine cup in the palm of his hand, he said: "I think this may not be suitable for me, it is better to be under someone else's roof. Me, I want to go abroad to develop."

Qin Rong was a little surprised, stared at him blankly for a while, and said, "Why bother? He is old, and he still can't live without you. It's all because I'm not at home these days, otherwise..."

Chu Yaonan turned his head to look at him, and said with a miserable smile on his lips: "It's enough to have you and A Pei serving him. In fact, two tigers cannot fit in one mountain. You are my good brother, and I don't want to conflict with you. But I can't help myself, the blue gang is so big and the rivers and lakes are so deep, I should take a step back to calm the storm." Chu Yaonan said, but his heart was agitated, the feeling was like a stick stirring his stomach, then pain.But he is Chu Yaonan, he still wants to accompany him, smiled nonchalantly and said: "Overseas, there are classmates and friends, you can start a business. In China, the current situation is too turbulent. I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times. I think, let's go out."

"He Xixi?" Qin Rong asked.

Chu Yaonan shook his head with a smile: "I only love myself, and I'm afraid that I might fall in love with some woman."

A broad palm was pressed on his shoulder, as if he couldn't bear it, and said helplessly: "I know, it's a smooth journey, but, don't let the old man know."

Chu Yaonan patted that hand, but hesitated: "No, of course not. If he finds out, it would be easy to break a leg. I don't want to ask for shame."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you doing these days? There's no one there." Chu Yaonan asked casually, Qin Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm a bodyguard."

"What kind of person is so inspiring?" Chu Yaonan asked.

"You know the rules of our business, you are not allowed to ask." Qin Rong smiled, and said: "But those people in the army are very annoying, they don't follow the routine, and the route of the plan changes again and again. This time I decided to disembark from our Xilingkou Wharf, and I will arrange a boat to secretly come back to see my mother, but she is the most talkative, and she will be worried if she doesn't see me coming home."

Chu Yaonan was thinking, and dealt with it with a calm smile, but he was thinking in his heart.

"It's fine if you know, you can't say it at all," Qin Rong urged.

Seeing Chu Yaonan's lonely expression, and having something on his mind and not being able to talk it out, he always felt uneasy.

Qin Rong said: "Do you still remember that we were in the Northeast? After the catastrophe, Brother Nan, you personally said, no matter whether we have blood relatives or not, this friendship allows us to share blessings and share difficulties after we become brothers. It's more important than blood. Ah Rong has only two brothers in his life, my eldest brother Jiang Tao, and you are Brother Nan. I don't care what the old man treats you, but Qin Rong has Brother Nan in his heart."

Chu Yaonan suddenly turned around to look at Qin Rong, he was on the verge of speaking, but then thought, so what if he just told Ah Rong about his difficulties?A different son, although he is a son, his "son" son is preceded by a "dry" character, such as the difference between "madame" and "ru madam".

At night, Chu Yaonan quietly touched his father's door. "Power outage emergency repair" extinguished the lights in the corridor, and in the dark, he groped for the familiar house based on his memory of more than ten years.

Hands pressed into his trouser pockets, there was a small Browning pistol, silencer in place, all he had to do was follow the plan and he'd be done.His heart was lifted to his throat, but his footsteps were like heavy lead. In this way, he approached his destination step by step.

In an instant, there were mixed feelings, the familiar house, the place where he had endless fun and jokes, and the place where his humiliation and painful struggles were once left.

Gently pushed open a crack in the door, and with a whoosh sound, a black shadow ran past his feet, causing him to lean against the door in a panic, but fortunately he didn't make a sound, it was that black cat, a Feng Shui cat that Dad bought recently, He slipped out the door in an empty space.

Next to Chu Yaonan's ear was Huizi's playful voice: "Either you killed him, or he killed you. He has already made up his mind to kill you, you know that. He doesn't use a knife to kill you, ruins your future, and blocks everything for you." He forced you to go to a desperate situation, just for the sake of his own son."

Yes, if he doesn't do anything, the matter will be revealed sooner or later. On that day, he will be punished by his father so that he is not a human being or a ghost, and death will be light.He thought, now that the arrow is on the string, he has no choice but to move forward.

The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the fat and broad cheeks through the gaps in the gauze curtains, and the bearded mouth, who once held him in his arms and stabbed him hard on the face, made him unable to hide, only giggling beg for mercy.The warm childhood scenes are vivid in his memory, floating in front of his eyes.He stared at his father in the dark, listening to him snoring like thunder in sleep, and smacking his lips from time to time as if thinking about something.

With trembling hands, he reached out to touch the gun in his bosom, he gritted his teeth and thought, the arrow had to be fired, but suddenly he heard a shout: "Stinky boy, see if I don't smash your ass!"

Chu Yaonan's hands trembled in fright, and he remained motionless as if under a spell.Quietly, he collected himself, his father was talking nonsense, he let out a long breath, and went to draw his gun again, only to see him turning over and continuing to click his tongue to sleep.

Chu Yaonan's heart skipped a beat, but in an instant, as long as he drew his gun, pulled the trigger, and escaped by jumping out of the window, and then went back to his room to change his shoe covers, he would cry aloud the next day Acting, and then prepare to flee abroad and never return.The most important thing is that Chun Bao'er is safe and her revenge will be avenged.

However, the gun in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he had mixed feelings, his index finger was too stiff to bend, why, shoot!

If the opportunity is missed, I am afraid that only people will be the swordsman and I will be the fish and meat, and my life will naturally be gone, not to mention the capital I have worked so hard to manage will be in vain.

But the familiar face, the bad habits when sleeping, that is his father, the father who raised him is his own enemy.

The conflict in his heart turned into tears and burst out of his eyes, Chu Yaonan closed his eyes, thinking, I'm afraid it's fate, and it's hard for him to do it no matter what.

At breakfast on the second day, Boss Qin was still talking and laughing with everyone at the dining table, laughing with Qin Pei and Liumei from time to time, and asking: "Nan'er, what are you thinking, always in a daze, are you worried or not feeling well?"

Chu Yaonan's heart is calm, anyway, rather than being ruthlessly killed by him and trampled upon by others, it is better to find a decent way out by himself.

After dinner, he forced himself to laugh and chat with his aunts for a while, and only after an hour did he go to his father's study.

Boss Qin asked, "Is there something wrong?"
