The house is not big, it is a one-story brick house, with only a simple layer of powder scraped on the outside.In the past, tiles were supposed to be installed, but then something happened to me, and money was needed everywhere, so I put the money away.Also, the kennel at the door was demolished and replaced with a flower stand, with roses planted on it, it didn't look like it had been planted for a long time.

The person who came out of my house didn't move. He stared blankly at me and asked after a long time, "Hello, what's the matter?"

My head buzzed, I couldn't think about it, I didn't talk to him, I took a step forward, took out the saber attached to my waist, and grabbed the man's collar.Immediately afterwards, the saber was placed directly on his neck, and I shouted emotionally: "Where are my parents?"

When I pressed the saber on his neck, the man's expression changed immediately, and he didn't speak. He stared at me closely for a long time before he said in a panic: "Little brother, don't be nervous, just talk if you have something to say. Your parents , do you mean the former owner of this house?"

I took deep breaths continuously, but I couldn't calm down. The saber had already sliced ​​open the man's neck, and a trace of eye-catching blood slowly overflowed.The man raised his hands: "Little brother, put down the knife quickly. I bought this house for 15 yuan. I am a foreigner and wanted to do some vegetable business. Later, when I heard someone selling a house, I came here. .”

Brother Xu pressed my shoulder, and he shook his head at me.

I took a deep breath and put down the saber with trembling hands: "Where are they, where are they?"

The man touched his neck, then looked down at the palm of his hand, he smiled wryly, "I don't know where they are, after the house was sold, they left, the furniture and everything were left to me. "

While speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind: "A Fei?"

325 30 usury

Looking back, there is a man standing behind him, with a short cut, dark skin, not too tall, about 1.7 meters, and very strong.He put one hand in his pocket, and the other hand was carrying a bag of small green vegetables.

When I saw this person, I was suddenly stunned.

Guo Hao, it was this guy who took me home on an electric bike, but he said he was going to perform a one-handed speeding show, and almost fell to my death in the end.My little life was almost in the hands of this idiot.

When I was looking at him, he was also looking at me, the two of them didn't say a word, they were silent the whole time.After looking at each other for a while, I sighed. I really don't have any hatred for this buddy who I have played with since I was a child.

He came over, hugged me, patted my back vigorously, and said in a bitter tone, "It's good that I'm fine, if you lie on the operating table and can't wake up, then I'll have to feel guilty for the rest of my life."

See you again after half a year, Guo Hao has matured a lot, his non-mainstream yellow hair has been cut short, and all kinds of clothes have been changed back.Our foreheads were pressed together, and he said to me in a deep voice: "Your parents are at my house, go back first, and then we can talk about it after we go back."

Haozi let me go, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very happy.

I hesitated and asked him, "How did you find it?"

Haozi handed brother Xu and me a cigarette, picked one up himself, and said lightly, "Just now I went to the entrance of the village to buy vegetables, and it just so happened that someone nearby was talking about you today, saying that you came back. I knew at that time that you would definitely Go home and see that your parents are not there. According to your temper, no one knows what you will do, so you ran over here in a hurry. When you came here, I saw you holding a knife on someone's neck for such a long time You still haven't changed."

As he said that, his tone was a little helpless: "Originally something happened to your family, I wanted to call you, but your number changed, and I couldn't find it. Besides, your parents can't even play on the phone, so they Don't mention anything else. After you went to the city to see a doctor, it was like disappearing without a trace."

"So many things happened, largely because of me. I used to be young and frivolous and ignorant, and I messed around a lot. I almost killed your family. After your parents sold the house and saw that they had nowhere to go, I put They took it home. It can be regarded as some compensation for you, A Fei, I hope you don't blame me."

I smiled and said, "Even if I die, it's my fault, and I can't blame anyone. You stop first, I'll ask you something, make it clear, and we're going home. You also know the character of my parents, they belong to that Believe it or not, if I go over and ask, they won’t tell me a word.”

Haozi nodded, sat down at a random place, rolled up his trousers, organized his words and said to me: "Let's start talking after you go to the city to see a doctor. At that time, the big guys think you are really dead, the hospital Several times you issued a critical illness notice, but your parents didn’t dare to sign it, and kept standing in the corridor crying. But there’s no way, the hospital is so pissy, if you don’t sign it, they won’t do the surgery for you.”

"Later, I couldn't sign it, and it was a sky-high surgery fee. There was hemorrhage in the thoracic cavity, and I needed to be operated on. In order to raise money, your parents ran around all night and borrowed everything they could. In the end, they had no choice. I can kneel down and borrow money from others. Do you know how much you spent? You don’t need to think about it, your parents must lie to you, and they will only talk about it.”

I narrowed my eyes and asked him how much?

Haozi smiled: "More than 60 yuan, just a lot, these are just what I know, and there are other expenses that I don't know. Have you ever wondered why your family can make up more than 60 yuan overnight? Money? It’s not enough even if you sell the house, it’s because your father asked someone to borrow usury and borrowed more than 30 yuan without telling everyone.”

"Let's do the math for you. At eight points of interest, if you borrow 100 yuan, you will have eight yuan of water money every day, and you have to keep using the water money. If it stops one day, then people should come to collect debts." Yes. One thousand is eighty, ten thousand is eight hundred, and one hundred thousand is eight thousand. Think about it yourself, 30, how much is the water money per day?"

"A total of [-] yuan, not even the principal. This kind of snowball, not to mention ordinary people, the average middle-class family can't afford it. The monthly interest is almost [-] yuan. You don't even know what your parents are doing during this time. How did you survive?"

"Not long after you entered the city, the water money was cut off, and people came to collect debts. At first, the group didn't say anything, and came here every now and then, or continued to take the water money, 30 a day, people don't care about you How did you get the money? If you can fight, I can let you go. If you are not capable, you can pay back the principal, [-], and pay it off on the same day.”

"In your family's situation, after helping you treat the disease, you added 30 usury, which is enough to drive people to death. During the period, your mother committed suicide by drinking medicine, but it was discovered early, and she was taken to the hospital and washed her stomach with soapy water. , I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and I secretly went to the bank with my passbook behind my parents' back to withdraw money to pay in advance."

"When your mother was hospitalized, that group of beasts came here every day to make trouble and threatened her. They refused to let your mother get an injection and pulled out her syringe. In the end, they called the police. When the police came, the group stopped for a few days. But the police can't watch you every day, can they?"

"In the end, as the time dragged on, the group of animals became more and more frenzied. At night, they poured dung at your door and sent wreaths. And your chickens and ducks were all poisoned to death. Do you remember that bulldog? Your father gave you a gift on your birthday when you were a child, and after more than ten years of raising him, not only you, but also I have feelings for you."

I couldn't help but think of the kennel that was demolished in front of my house just now.

A wave of anger surged into the sky, I clenched my fists tightly, and my breathing became short of breath.

Haozi smiled helplessly: "I also let those bastards kill me, peeled off the skin, and hung it on the light bulb at the door of your house. Then I splashed paint, causing a lot of restlessness. Your father went shopping in the middle of the night several times. The road was also blocked by a group of masked people. They overturned the cart, beat people and ruined the food.”

"Your mother couldn't afford to be sick and had no money to go to the hospital, so she could only lie in bed every day. All the burdens fell on your father. To be honest, ten years of catastrophe did not trouble that man, but your mother On the night of suicide by drinking medicine, a person cried into mud."

"It's impossible to be forced. There is really no way out. If you continue to be forced, you will die. Your parents sold the house for 15, not to mention repaying the principal, and the interest is not enough. I feel distressed, and my parents There was a quarrel, and you took your parents home. There was a house demolition before, and I redecorated it, and let them live in it first."

With a gloomy face, I kept restraining the anger in my heart, and stood up from the ground: "Go home."

Haozi patted me on the shoulder: "When you do it, tell me, I'll go with you."

326 Anger

Based on Haozi's understanding of me, seeing that I didn't say a word, but the whole person was calm and strange, he knew that I would definitely not give up.It's not easy for anyone to put this matter on, it's just that the way of handling it is different. As for how to deal with it, it depends on the individual.

What he said meant something.

I looked up at him, and put my arms around his neck with a smile: "Come on, let's have a good drink at noon today, let's have a good drink, and we are solving the next thing."

Haozi laughed, he was much more relaxed than before, and he also stretched out his arms to hug me.Brother Xu didn't say much, he was not familiar with Haozi at first, and all this was an unfamiliar environment for him, so he followed quietly.

When I came to Haozi's house, I saw a great change. The former earth-based house was changed into a small western-style building, more than two stories high, surrounded by a small courtyard, with a spacious cement road in the middle, and artificial flower beds on both sides.

There are some scallions and peppers, which look very harmonious, and the environment is good.Further on, there are two small one-room houses covered with asbestos tiles.I saw my dad sitting at the door with a chimney in front of him, smoking with his back to us.

In my impression, when I was seven or eight years old, my dad stopped smoking in order to save money.

Haozi stretched out his hand and pointed: "Let's talk, I'll cook, and when it's done, let's have a drink. Let's take it as a celebration of your new life, so that I will feel less guilty."

Brother Xu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly followed: "I'll help."

I walked up to the old man, who was smoking a cigarette, then suddenly raised his head and looked at me closely.

I took a stool casually and sat in front of him relaxedly. I haven't seen him for a long time. The man in front of me seems to be several years old.

His eyes are not as bright as before, and he gives me a particularly tired feeling, from the inside out, including body and spirit.He has always liked to be clean, with stubble all over his face, just looking at me like this and not speaking.

I smiled, stretched out my hand to push the shredded tobacco he put on the ground away, and said calmly: "Stop smoking, it will hurt your body. You said you quit all this, why do you smoke again?"

The old man was calmer than I imagined. He glanced at me a few times, but he didn't have the joy of reunion. He just calmly lowered his head and smoked the chimney: "Are you back? Are you okay? Your mother keeps talking to me these days, He said he was looking forward to seeing her when you came back. Looking forward to it day and night, it can be regarded as looking forward to your boy's return."

I am not good at expressing my inner feelings, this is inherited from the old man, and he is the same.After half a year, the family has undergone earth-shaking changes, which almost drove them to death.

Now that we meet, the old man and I chat as usual, very casual and peaceful.

Looking at his face full of vicissitudes, my eyes turned red, and I said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

I took out a cigarette, put one in the old man's mouth, and helped him light it myself. There were too many words, and suddenly I didn't know what to say?He smiled and said: "If you know you are wrong, you have to correct it. You can't know that you are wrong, but you just don't correct it. Every time you make a mistake, you know to say sorry, forget it after you say it, and keep making mistakes, and then tell others say sorry."

"This society is like this, no one will get used to you."

I bit my lip hard, sniffed, tears were about to come out of my eyes.
