On the green brick ground, under the pomegranate tree, in the small side courtyard, a cool breeze blew through my ears.

Drinking the 65-degree Erguotou, Hu Gang and Hu Qiang both had a little alcohol on their faces, but their eyes were shining. This was a clear proof that the wine was in full swing.

After "reaching out" to learn about "Roller"'s situation, he didn't say anything for a long time. After finishing a cigarette, he pinched the cigarette **** tightly and expressed his stance.

"Brother, I understand what you mean, you really feel sorry for this child. OK, I promise you, when he comes back, I won't teach him any more..."

"Okay, as long as you understand me. I just feel sorry for such a good child, and I don't want to watch him sink deeper and deeper into this muddy pond..."

"Big Eyed Lantern" had a smile on his face and looked very pleased.

But he didn't expect that there would be something more behind "reach out".

"Brother, you have to say it twice. What if 'Roller' wants to pester me and insist on learning? What should I do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Brother, you have good intentions for him, but I don't think it's sweet to be a coward. The child's heart is still in this area. If you suddenly don't let me teach him, what will he think? ? What I mean is that I don’t have to teach him, but it won’t solve the fundamental problem. After all, he is already a thief, and he is already addicted. Besides, you are not his father, and you brought him in. If you don't do his psychological work, you won't let me teach you. If you want to let me go, it's weird to listen to you. Instead, you have to be shameless and try to learn..."

"Big Eyed Lantern" immediately fell silent, and all the joy he had felt just now was gone. I couldn't help but light a cigarette. He pondered hesitantly.

"Besides, I won't be able to stay in the capital for long. If I leave, I won't have a chance to teach him. If you don't let me teach him, there won't be a shop like this after passing this village..."

"Qiangzi, are you still leaving?"

"Big Eyed Lantern" was stunned immediately and started to cough due to the smoke.

"Okay...I finally came back, you...you..."

"Reaching out" looked at his brother's anxious look with a troubled expression on his face.

"Brother, I don't want to leave either. But there's nothing I can do about it. I'm used to being a 'traveling gangster' (a slang term for a pickpocket who travels around the country to commit crimes). I really want to stay and live a comfortable life, okay? The 'crafts' that are easily honed will be useless..."

"Big Eyed Lantern" was anxious and simply said everything that was in his heart.

"Craftsmanship? Qiangzi, why are you so confused? I was talking about the 'roller' just now, but... I actually want to advise you. We have been in this business for a long time, and there will be no good end. Damn it! You've been out there for so many years, and you still don't understand society? It's like being alone against a bunch of enemies. Brother, you will have the upper hand sooner or later. Eat guys. Why? We are just a few little mice. What about society? They are a pack of wolves!

"Reach out" just listened silently to his brother's lesson. He didn't say a word, but his eyelids were drooped, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not.

The "big-eyed lantern" saw this and knew that "reaching out" was a bit contradictory. He couldn't help but reach out his hand, caressing his brother's shoulder with great love, and continued to persuade him earnestly.

"Then what should we do? We have to know the current situation, and we have to stop when it's almost over. We can't do this all the time, we have to hide, we have to turn, and even if it doesn't work, we have to learn to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead at critical moments. You Think about it, it would be great if we could have a good and stable meal. It’s not a big worry if we are a little bit tired. It would be great luck for us two brothers to be together..."

"Brother! How did dad die? You haven't learned your lesson yet, have you!"

I really didn’t expect that Leng Buding reached out and suddenly dropped his chopsticks and started to argue emotionally.

"Have you forgotten? 'The bones of a thief can never be changed!' This is what the people around us said at the public trial! And our neighbors, after knowing what happened to our family, Sons of thieves, they call us that! Who can treat us like human beings?”

"Don't you think I've never been a good person? The year I first left Beijing, on a long-distance bus, I unloaded a 'cannon' with one hundred yuan and a hospital prescription in it. Just because I couldn't bear it, I pretended to have picked it up and handed it over to the long-distance station police station. Unexpectedly, I met the wife of the director of the "Revolutionary Committee" who changed her mind as soon as she took the lost item. I was so embarrassed. The **** didn’t say a word of thanks, but she insisted that the wallet was stolen. They had to lock me up for interrogation for more than a month, and they didn’t let me go because they didn’t have any evidence. The accent is not local. They think they can play drums whatever they want..."

"Okay, good intentions are not rewarded! Then I swear that I will steal even harder when I go out! I thought at that time, you can lock me up. If you lock me up for one day, I will steal for one more year in the future. I will always learn this lesson. Remember! Do you know how I got out in the end? I cut my calf and stuffed a fly into it, which turned into pus and my leg was so badly injured that they were afraid of getting into trouble. , just let me crawl out of the door little by little. Didn’t you ask me why my left leg was a little lame? I almost couldn’t save it..."

"Humph, being a good person? What's the end of being a good person! I've seen it all! We are born with no other way to go! In this case, I will be the best thief in the world. I can't just Let others laugh while I cry. Even if I can’t control the world while I’m alive, I have to let those who are rich and powerful cry with us!”

The words "reach out" made "Big Eyed Damp" feel distressed and anxious. After finally waiting for his brother to stop speaking, his voice immediately rose an octave higher.

"Qiangzi, you have reached a dead end! Trust me. There is no good in being so stubborn! Open your eyes and look at the outside world. The social atmosphere is different now, and good people can live well. Now, people have become kind again, and there is still hope in the days to come..."

"Reach out" and scratch his neck, but he doesn't agree with it at all.

"One word at a time! So what? Even if the outside world gets better now. You can promise not to have another 'movement', and you can guarantee that others will not discriminate against us in the future? No matter how good it is, it is other people's business. Son, don't be stupid! Have you ever seen a movie outside? As the saying goes in "Les Miserables", "Once a thief, always a thief!" The "Wanderer" we watched when we were young is now being re-released outside. "The son of a good man must be a good man, and the son of a thief must be a thief." Well, even if these are movies, they are fake. At least, you haven't forgotten the "Sports" slogan, right? Good guy, I'm a reactionary bastard!'..."

"Hadron!"

"Big Eyed Lantern" was also uncontrollably excited, and could no longer maintain his composure.

"You are the one who is stupid! We are forced to be thieves! No matter how you say it, stealing is stealing and a thief is a thief! Our father himself said at the beginning that thieves all said that they robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Only those who are ambitious will not be willing to be thieves forever! Don't make excuses for your "three steals and three no-steals". When we first went out on the street, it was the common people! This is an unethical business! Don’t you want to live an upright life? Let me tell you, our dad didn’t catch up on the good times. He would definitely not think like me if he saw the current society! Let you continue like this..."

"You said it wrong, brother!"

The voice of "Reach out" actually got louder.

"It is not immoral to steal things! What is immoral is the people who force us to take this path and make it impossible for us to live in this world! We are thieves, but we have a conscience. Our family lives well and does our duty. Damn it, why did those people with red sleeves destroy our family? Are those people who made Dad lose his job and forced him to steal? Dad, he saved someone, but he was shot! I was rescued. Is it unethical for the family to give him a shot? Is it unethical for the person who didn't even think about it and bit me and almost lost one of my legs? Let's eat based on our true ability. Why is he, Shen Chenghuang, so displeased that he not only rips us off, but also takes one of your hands? Is he immoral? You finally got a foothold in the Capital Cinema, what kind of "red boy" are you? Even if you squeeze him away, you are not allowed to steal. Why is he so domineering? I tell you, brother, these things are not over! Of course, I have to let them know! I will also pay back what belongs to the common people!”

"Big Eyed Lantern" couldn't believe his ambition for "Reaching Out". He really didn't expect that his brother's resentment would be so deep.

He can't help but persuade, he can't help but persuade.

"Qiangzi, why are you so stubborn? You have to dig into the horns, don't you? My words are all in vain! Don't you think about how you will have to marry a wife and have children in the future! If you keep going like this, when will it be? Is that a boss? You can’t live for hatred, it will destroy you!…”

But "reaching out" was indifferent and still smiled coldly.

"Marry a wife and have children? Brother, I don't have that day anymore, and I don't want that day either, because... it's too late! To be honest, I haven't told you a lot of my external affairs because I'm afraid you'll know about it. I'm scaring you. It's really for your own good if I don't stay. In short, we just need you to pass on the family's legacy. Don't worry, I have to make arrangements for your future no matter what, so that you can have enough food and clothing. ...The meaning of my own life is to relieve hatred. Let me tell you something from my heart. Sooner or later, when I am ready, I will rob the Forbidden City at night!"

"Ah!?"

The last sentence made "Big Eyed Lantern" involuntarily tremble in fear. He hit the wine glass on the table and smashed it to pieces.

His brother has become a madman. This made him completely stupid...
