He Chusan took the earliest flight the next day and arrived in Bangkok, Thailand. After leaving the airport, I rented a car, hired a driver and guide, and entered Nakhon Pathom.
[Note: Thailand is divided into 76 prefectures, and the prefecture consists of counties, districts and villages. Nakhon Pathom is one of them, with Bangkok in the east.]
The car drove all the way through the hustle and bustle of the market, the sandalwood stupa, the criss-crossing emerald green river fields, and the boundless grapefruit forest. Tranquil and peaceful ancient Buddhist country. The old farmer who was pruning the branches and leaves of the roadside forest stopped and turned his head. His black and yellow face was full of vicissitudes and wind and frost, and he calmly watched it go away.
The car drove into the capital city of Nakhon Pathom, the driver stopped to ask for directions, continued to the suburbs, and finally stopped in front of a Chinese Guanyin Temple.
The temple is not big, only a few bungalows, the front yard is open, small and pure. At the entrance of the temple, there was a little novice who was sweeping the floor with a broom. He performed a Buddha salute with He Chusan, and then led him into the temple, walked through the Buddhist hall, and entered the monk's room in the backyard.
Anan and A Mao and a middle-aged man with glasses were playing poker in the yard. When they saw He Chusan coming in, they all stood up, and while greeting him, they quickly gave way to a small room at the end of the yard. direction. He Chusan kept walking, nodded hurriedly, and went straight to the room.
Pushing open the door, he saw Xia Liuyi leaning on the cot, leaning his head slightly against the wall, and was in a coma.
He Chusan's hurried footsteps stopped, he closed the door gently with his hand, and walked gently to the bedside.
He held his breath and looked at Xia Liuyi quietly. Xia Liuyi was naked, with bandages wrapped around his chest and waist, and there were many scars on his shoulders and arms that were scratched by grass, wood, soil and stones. He lost a whole circle, his cheeks were sunken, his lips were dry, and his haggard face was flushed with an unnatural tinge of red. The stubble must have been shaved in a hurry last night, leaving a small bloodstain on his chin from an accidental scratch. The whole figure is like a Populus euphratica that has just experienced a sandstorm. Although it does not fall, it is scarred.
He Chusan stood beside the bed like a wooden man, looking at Xia Liuyi for a long time, not daring to touch him for fear of waking him up. In his heart, it was as if there was a river watered by magma, scalding and stinging, flowing through the blood vessels of his whole body.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked around the room.
The cramped room was not ventilated, with only a small closed window, and a simple layer of white ash on the four brick walls. There was almost nothing in the room, except for a single iron frame bed and a few stools. A kettle and a cup are placed on one of the stools. There was a rusty iron frame standing by the bedside, with two bags of IV drips hanging down the needle and dripping into the back of Xia Liuyi's hand.
He Chusan thought, "He was in such a bad environment, he was seriously injured, and he seemed to have a fever." He tentatively leaned down and gently touched Xia Liuyi's forehead with his lips, Sure enough, there was warmth, which explained the abnormal flushing on his face.
"This ignorant, greedy, and lifeless underworld," He Chusan thought, "it's so difficult for him to live peacefully and innocently? What exactly is worth his life? He didn't think about it. What should I do if something happens to him?"
His eyes were sour and wet, and a tear fell on Xia Liuyi's forehead. This awakened Xia Liuyi, Xia Liuyi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the door nervously, then turned his head again, seeing that it was him, an involuntary smile immediately appeared on his haggard face.
"Come on," he said with a hoarse smile. Then the smile turned into a wry smile, and he raised his hand helplessly and wiped it at the corner of He Chusan's eyes, "Why are you crying? Look at you, like a crying bag."
He Chusan looked at him fixedly, without saying a word, only tears fell out. Xia Liuyi's cold hair stood up from his crying, holding his wet face and coaxing at a loss, "Hey, are you still crying? Fortunately, your brother Liuyi is getting better and better now. , I will beat you once and make you hold back."
"My temper is getting worse and worse," He Chusan thought, "I really want to beat you up, lock you up, lock you up on a very high tower, no long hair, no prince riding Horses can save you, only I am the old wizard who beat you three times a day."
As he thought about it, he was filled with hatred, and the look in Xia Liuyi's eyes became fierce. Xia Liuyi was horrified by his fierce and tyrannical look. He felt that he was stimulated and was about to be schizophrenic. He wanted to hold him in his arms and coax him, but he had a wound on his chest. Hug is not, not hug is not, in the end can only touch his face and watch him cry.
He Chusan cried for a while, then held it back, wiped his face, and asked him in a nasal voice, "Are you thirsty? Have you eaten lunch?"
He changed the topic too quickly, Xia Liuyi hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously replied, "I'm thirsty, no..."
He Chusan stood up and poured him a glass of water and fed it to his mouth. Then he turned around and went out to find Anan and A Mao to feed the boss Zhang Luo.
…
When Xia Liuyi rolled down the steep hillside, he hit a big rock and fainted. The sudden torrential rain blocked the police's search and made him escape. After the rainy night, he and Qin Hao hid in the deep mountains. In order to escape the search, they drilled into caves and river fields. They walked and walked for nearly two days. They finally arrived at this Chinese temple. This temple was built with donations from Qinglong more than ten years ago. It is a temporary shelter that Qinglong stayed in Thailand. The abbot is also very familiar with Xia Liuyi. He quickly took him and Qin Hao who were lying in front of the temple. According to Xia Liuyi's instructions, he called Cui Dongdong and called Anan, A Mao and the personal doctor who were staying in Bangkok on standby.
Afraid of being discovered by the police and unable to go to a regular hospital, the private doctor brought some medicines from Hong Kong and bought some on the black market, turning the small temple into an underground clinic. Qin Hao was severely bruised by bullets on his legs and shoulders, and he is still sleeping every day. Xia Liuyi suffered a fractured rib and pneumonia caused by the infection. He was almost lethargic for the first few days, but his spirit improved a little later, his breathing was still unbearable, his speech was hoarse and weak, and he could not walk a few steps out of bed. . With this ghostly appearance, you can hear the difference as soon as you speak, how dare you talk to He Chusan on the phone. He could only ask Cui Dongdong to help hide from He Chusan, thinking of delaying for a few more days and contacting He Chusan when the situation improved. Who would have guessed that He Chusan would make trouble in the president's office? Cui Dongdong called and tried to persuade the big guy - you can hide it, let's be honest, your lamp that doesn't save fuel seems to be pouring the lamp oil and burning your own place.
Xia Liuyi knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it. Even if he tried to fool him now, he would still have to be cross-examined by his sister-in-law when he returned to Hong Kong. Besides, looking at the situation, there was really no way to fool him. He Chusan was on the phone. Li was so ruthless that he even said the words of breaking up, and his eyes were red with urgency. Xia Liuyi was forced to have no choice but to tell him where he lives now.
He originally thought that the third year of junior high school was going to make a big fuss, and even if it didn't work, he would press him. However, He Chusan cried a lot when they first met, and never asked the boss to ask a word or spilled any splashes. He pretended to be a sister-in-law as if nothing had happened, commanded the bodyguards and doctors, and took care of the boss's clothing, food, housing and medical care. .
He sent back the driver hired from the airport, drove the rented car, took the little novices who act as guides and translators to the nearby market, and bought back a truckload of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and meat; he set up a place outside the temple. He cooks nutritious porridge for two patients, stews meat for bodyguards and doctors, and cooks tea and fruit snacks for monks; after learning Thai with a little novice for a few days, he can still drive into the market alone I went to the district and bought back a change of clothes, towels, and water basins for everyone, and brought back a small folding table and a small wardrobe.
He Chusan moved the small wardrobe into the corner, folded the newly bought clothes and put them in. The small table was placed beside Xia Liuyi's bed, a white porcelain vase was placed on the table, a few flowers were inserted, and Cut the red paper window grilles and paste them on the clean and bright small window, and then put the steaming food on the table - actually living a small life with the big guy in this foreign country.
At noon this day, Xia Liuyi was sitting crookedly beside the bed with drips inserted, eating food by himself in front of the small table, watching He Chusan busy going around, first answered a phone call to his own room The company's subordinates instructed a recent futures transaction, and then listened to him discussing with the abbot outside the hospital that it would be New Year's Eve in a few days. During the day, the temple would preside over the ceremony, and at night, he would come to a large table of vegetarian food. Xia Liu chewed one bite of the meal in his mouth for a long time, and his heart was filled with extremely complicated emotions, whether it was emotion, touching, guilt, or confusion.
He reached into the inner pocket of his coat, touched the photo he got from Jin Mire, and thought of the unfamiliar but familiar third person above. He knew that the person was involved in the death of Qinglong's father, and it was even very likely that he also participated in the death of Qinglong. He wants to return to Hong Kong to investigate the truth of the year. His road of revenge has not yet ended. He will still kill, bleed, and make some unsightly transactions. He still has to hide it from He Chusan, maybe even... He will see He Chusan's face crying silently.
He Chusan sat down opposite him with a smile, "What are you thinking? Daze while eating?"
Xia Liuyi coughed in disguise, and quickly swallowed the rice that had been chewed in his mouth for a long time.
"Are you a child? The grains of rice fell out when you ate," He Chusan smiled brightly, stretched out a hand to put a grain of rice on his chin, put his finger on his lips, and licked it into his mouth while looking at him inside.
Xia Liuyi slapped the rice bowl with a blushing face. He wanted to scold him for being numb, but he couldn't say it. Angrily, he picked up the rice bowl and slammed his head into the rice. He Chusan was now in the softest place in his heart, and he was reluctant to move. A cold hair.
…
The day before the New Year’s Eve, He Chusan flew back to Hong Kong to say New Year’s greetings to Dad and Mom in advance, falsely claiming that he was going on a business trip abroad the next day, and that he would spend the New Year’s Eve with his parents and visit relatives and friends. The task was handed over to Xinxin. Dad now has a wife and daughter, and he is happy in his later years, so he can feel more at ease in his absence. He sincerely thanks and loves Wu's mother and daughter, accompanies them for an afternoon stroll, and tries to buy one for each of them. An expensive mink coat. Xinxin screamed with joy, but Wu Ma waved her hands in fright. In Xinxin's frustrated sigh, she forced him to refund the money, preferring him to buy some ordinary New Year's goods and supplements.
He Chusan had dinner at his parents' house in the evening, secretly stuffed a big red envelope with Xinxin, and brought a bag of New Year's goods to Cui Dongdong's house for New Year's greetings and a lowly apology. Cui Dongdong was so angry with him this time that he sent Xiaoluo to block him at the door, resolutely not seeing him, and sent a message - "Damn gays, homosexuals are inhumane."
He Ji fell back and walked to the elevator door in bitterness, only to be called back by Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo handed out a large box of small hand-made cupcakes, "Sister Dong asked me to make it, and asked you to bring it to the bosses as a New Year's gift. Ah, and, she said that other people can eat whatever you want, and you are not allowed to take a bite. eat."
"Brother Liuyi is right, you can't offend women." Early the next morning, He Chusan sat on the plane to Thailand and thought with emotion. Fan carefully placed the plate, without the slightest flaw.
That night, the cakes were crowded into the corner of the large round table by the rich menu. The round tablecloth is in the backyard. On one side of the table sits a few monks from the temple, and on the other side sits a group of underworld people who occupy the magpie's nest. Big Brother Xia was still wearing bandages on his upper body, and sat bare-chested and shirtless at the table. Together with the full-time underworld doctor and bodyguards wearing glasses, he drank five and six punches with a glass of wine, and punched Qin, who was just able to get out of bed and walk around. Hao poured wine into a glass, and made a good vegetarian New Year's Eve meal into the sky.
He Chusan sat between the abbot and the little novices, offering tea, serving dishes, expressing thanks and apology to the abbot and the monks from time to time, and occasionally helping the young novices to dump the group of underworld gangsters into his bowl and forcing him to do so.” taste" wine. The abbot hadn't figured out what He Chusan's path was for these days. He looked like a full-time nanny of a big boss, another big boss, and a little bit like a big boss, although he was obviously different from the others. people, but merged with them without exclusion. The abbot sighed and doubted in his heart, but did not ask any more questions.
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. He Chusan put down his chopsticks, nodded apologetically to the abbot, stood up and walked across the table. He first rescued the dazed wounded Qin Hao from the group of drunks, and helped him back to the room first. Then he turned back, dragged the drunk big guy from the dining table, and glanced at Anan and Ah Mao, who were still trying to get up to chase after the drink—the latter two shrank their necks in fright, and sat down obediently. go back.
"Pujiezi, I haven't finished my punch yet," Xia Liuyi scolded him in a low voice as he was pulled into the room, "I'm a big boss, give me some face!"
"Enough to give you face," He Chusan said. "If you drink more, I will carry you back in front of them."
Xia Liuyi pinched his butt in revenge. He Chusan looked back at the direction of the dining table, and when no one was paying attention, he suddenly stooped to pick up the boss, patted his butt, and then took a few steps in his silent struggle, carried it into the room and threw it in the room. bed.
Xia Liuyi's face was flushed, and he jumped up to fight him. He Chusan opened the cabinet and threw a coat over, smiled and rolled his eyes, "Put it on, boss, I'll take you out to set off fireworks."
He waited for Xia Liuyi to put on his clothes, and took two bottles of unknown local drinks. He secretly led Xia Liuyi around the people in the backyard, drove his car outside the temple, and drove to the nearby mountain road with familiarity. go.
Xia Liuyi sat lazily in the passenger seat, holding a cardboard box with fireworks and drinks in his arms, and turned his head to look out the window. He Chusan glanced at him while driving, and felt that this scene seemed familiar. Wasn't it Xia Liuyi who drove him to set off fireworks late at night this time last year? But at this time, the identities of the two have been reversed, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Liuyi could understand his voice without looking back.
"This is the third New Year's Eve we have spent together." He Chusan said with a smile.
Xia Liuyi let out a nonchalant "uh", still looking out the window, but his ears were slightly red. He Chusan liked his obviously emotional but pretentious look, and looked at him several times while smiling. Xia Liuyi couldn't bear it any longer, and finally turned around and pressed his face straight ahead, "Drive and watch the road!"
…
He Chusan figured out the route early in the morning, stepped on the point, and went around a mountain road in twists and turns, and parked the car in an open space halfway up the mountain. Going up, he was about to walk. He walked in front with the box in his arms, guiding Xia Liuyi, who was dragging him behind.
"Brother Liuyi, there is a pit here." "Be careful, there is a rock under your feet." "There are tree roots here..."
"Shut up," Xia Liuyi said, "Your brother Liuyi is neither lame nor blind."
The mountain is not high, Xia Liuyi followed He Chusan for about ten minutes and came to a flat slope where you can enjoy the view. He Chusan picked a flat and dry place, pulled out a waterproof canvas blanket from the cardboard box and spread it on the ground, lit a mosquito coil, and invited Mr. Xia to sit down.
"Didn't you say fireworks?" Xia Liuyi sat down cross-legged inexplicably. The terrain here is so narrow and the surrounding trees are dense, it is not a good place for arson.
He Chusan took out a small oil-paper package from the carton, peeled it carefully, and held out a small and exquisite hand-held fireworks.
"..." Xia Liuyi.
He wanted to push He Chusan to the ground and beat his ass - can you stop playing such girly tricks all the time? !
"The magnified fireworks are too eye-catching. What if the police are attracted? Besides, it's not suitable for them to be placed here. What should I do if they cause a fire?" He Chusan read his heart from his distorted face and explained.
Xia Liuyi covered his face with a headache and didn't want to look at him. He heard He Chusan "wipe" and lit the small fireworks, the burning sound of "zizizi".
"Brother Liuyi, look! It's so beautiful!" He Chusan called excitedly.
Xia Liuyi glanced over between his fingers and saw that the purple-red fireworks were gorgeous and eye-catching, reflecting He Chusan's bright smile and moving eyebrows. Subconsciously swallowing a saliva, he simply turned his face away, holding back his pounding heartbeat.
"Get one yourself." He Chusan took his hand and stuffed a small firework into his fingertips, "Hurry up and I'll light it for you."
"Are you bothered?" Xia Liuyi complained, holding fireworks in his hand, turned to look at him, "Children's toys!" While scolding, his eyes were attracted by the colorful fireworks blooming at his fingertips. , stared intently, and subconsciously swayed left and right.
When he was a child, he saw people playing with such a thing from a distance, and he was envious and curious, but now he finally took it in his hands, and rationally felt "that's all", but he couldn't move his eyes at all. Looking at it, he noticed He Chusan's smiling eyes, and he was a little embarrassed. He pinched He Chusan's face, "What are you smiling at? Put it out, and order another one."
The two big children sat cross-legged against each other in the moonlit woods, nodding one after another happily. He Chusan said to make a wish on the fireworks, closed his eyes and made a promise, and then forced Xia Liuyi to make one. Xia Liuyi said that he was a girl full of heart, like a little girl in middle school, but he said that Xia Liuyi had never been in love and did not understand romance. Mr. Xia was so angry that he threw him down on the canvas blanket and took a few bites. He Chusan bit his lip so bad, he struggled while laughing. . The two of them tore and bit like two little animals that were amusing each other. He Chusan's chin slammed into Xia Liuyi's forehead by accident. He clutched his chin and gasped in pain. Xia Liuyi laughed out loud. , happy to close their mouths.
This is the first time he has laughed uncontrollably these days, and the first time he has unrestrainedly vented his emotions. Smiling, a tear suddenly fell from his face. He smiled unknowingly, until he saw He Chusan's surprised eyes, and then he subconsciously wiped his face - his hands were wet.
Tears rolled down from his eyes, unable to stop. He smiled dully, lowered his head and stared at his palm, the world seemed to suddenly become silent, and the wind, insects, and the words called by He Chusan no longer existed.
He Chusan came up to hold his face with both hands, and gently kissed his trembling lips. Xia Liuyi's throat was choked, his senses were awakened by his warm lips, and after a long time, he made a low voice.
"The pony is dead..."
"What?" He Chusan withdrew his lips and did not hear clearly.
"The pony is dead," Xia Liuyi cried, "San, the pony is gone."
