Chapter 36
They drove from the garage to L Mountain at five in the morning and drove all the way to the top of the mountain.
When I got off the bus, there was no one on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. The dawn of the city has not yet come, but on the eastern horizon, the sun is about to come out.
Summer mornings are not hot at all, and the mountains are quiet and calm.
Min Liangping held a broken manual turn-in machine, Liu Dao looked at it, and wondered if it was the one at his New Year's Day party that year.
He thought for a while and said, "Have you washed my photo?"
Min Liangping snapped a photo against the sun and rolled it manually. When he took the second photo against the sun, he said, "It was too dark that day. Well, I forgot to bring the flash, and I didn't take any pictures."
But he still kept the washed papers.
Liu Dao let out an "oh", leaning against the car and wanting to smoke. As soon as I took out the cigarette case, I suddenly felt that the scenery in the mountains was so good. I smoked the hard white sand and let the woods catch the smell of second-hand smoke, so forget it.
He asked Min Liangping for candy.
"Brother Min, where's your candy?"
"It's in my pocket, you can take it yourself." Min Liangping was focusing and said to him with one eye closed.
Liu Dao walked over by himself, reached into his trousers pocket with one hand, took out a blueberry-flavored hard candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and ate it, and stuffed the candy wrapper into Min Liangping's pocket.
After taking the photo, Min Liangping waved to Liu Dao beside the car: "Come here, I'll take a photo for you too."
Liu Dao didn't move, leaning against the car door: "I'll just stand here, just help me take a picture like this. "
Min Liangping looked at the camera and felt that the light was not bad: "Alright." The
camera snapped a picture of the young man beside the car, and the picture was forever fixed on a certain day when he was twenty-five years old.
There were more and more travelers in vehicles on the mountain, and Min Liangping and Liu Dao got into the car and planned to return home.
Liu Dao said without thinking: "Actually, I don't care whether you have been in prison or not, I'm still a gangster."
Min Liangping tilted his head and looked at him for a while before throwing the camera to him: "Let's go to the photo studio."
Liu Dao silently held the camera without speaking.
Min Liangping said, "I'll ask someone to find out if I can find your father or your mother. Now it's very easy for black households to set up household registrations, and they don't need that much money."
Liu Dao nodded.
Min Liangping stepped on the accelerator and said, "Let's take a photo another day? Take the two of us and take a photo together."
Liu Dao stared absently at the road ahead: "Who wants to take pictures with you." But
he was very happy.
That night, Min Liangping didn't let Liu Dao enter the guest room again. He dragged someone directly to his bed, took off his pajamas, and said, "Do you remember the child who scare you when I took you to a mental hospital before? ?"
Liu Dao said: "Who scare who? I scare him almost."
The fragments in his memory were connected little by little, and he thought of the innocent and silly face of that ordinary boy.
"My son was killed by him."
When Min Liangping said this, his tone was flat, but Liu Dao seemed to have passed through cold water all over his body.
"Why, why?" he asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry." He lowered his head, stretched out his arms to protect the man, buried his face in his chest, listening to his faint and regular heartbeat.
"It's nothing." Min Liangping patted him on the back, "I later learned from a friend on the road that the child was instigated. At that time, he picked up a bag of drugs behind a dark Internet cafe near our neighborhood. , my son was playing with him at the time, so he was also there. Those people stole the drugs and ran away, and later they worried that my son would call the police. When the child fell ill, they instigated the child to beat him to death."
"Although he was not My own son, but I have raised him for eleven years, and he is no different from my own son."
Liu Dao couldn't feel the slightest emotion of this man when he told these past events, even his heartbeat was gentle and regular. He held Min Liangping's hand tightly again.
Min Liangping rubbed his chin against Liu Dao's hair, but he did not push Liu Dao away, and continued: "I was in that town at that time, and it was completely arranged by Lao Tang. He found me as his informant. My son agreed to take revenge."
I really want to thank him now for letting me meet you.
Liu Dao asked vaguely, his voice oozing out of Min Liangping's chest: "Have you found me? After I ran away."
Min Liangping said, "I'm sorry, I didn't find you."
Liu Dao lost his temper, but in his heart Heartbroken: "I know, you had more important things at that time."
From the perspective of an adult, he could understand his forbearance.
Min Liangping pushed him, and Liu Dao withdrew from his arms.
Min Liangping stretched out his right hand and stroked Liu Dao's eye and cheek with his thumb: "You are my most important thing now."
Liu Dao knew that he didn't need to fight for something in this man's heart, but he still asked him: "In the town Time, am I?"
Min Liangping couldn't help biting his lower lip, and when he looked up again, he saw a different spark in his eyes. "You used to be young and your sexual orientation was immature, so I can't like you." He said solemnly
, "If I like you, am I not a beast?"
Hand: "In the end, I don't like it."
Min Liangping explained to him patiently: "Who said I don't like you? I don't like you, why should I be hard on you?"
He led Liu Dao's hand to himself. Somewhere, he kissed his earlobe again, and asked in a low voice: "You said, is this the truth?"
Liu Dao held back for a long time before scolding: "Old rascal."
This afternoon, Lao Tang's When the call came, he picked it up: "Hello."
Lao Tang said: "I have a case here, do you want to try it?".
Min Liangping knew that Lao Tang was teasing him: "Now my worth is skyrocketing, don't call me if you don't have one hundred and eighty thousand."
"You have a big tone." Lao Tang smiled and joked, "You really don't accept it?"
Min Liangping thought of Liu Dao, and said calmly: "No, we ordinary people just want to have a safe birthday."
"Okay." Lao Tang sighed with relief.
Min Liangping suddenly said: "But thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Lao Tang said, "I also want to thank you, you have helped me a lot over the years."
Min Liangping wrinkled his nose: "If it weren't for you, I may never meet Liu Dao again."
Lao Tang laughed: "That's what I should do."
After hanging up the phone, Min Liangping went to buy vegetables, and when he came back, he happened to meet Liu Dao who just got off the bus at the intersection.
Liu Dao also saw him, Pidianpidian ran over to help carry the bag.
"Why do you buy so much?" Liu Dao scolded him, "If you can't finish it, waste it."
Min Liangping smiled: "I told you to eat more, and I blamed the other hand when I touched your back."
Liu Dao had a face . Pulled down, not knowing what expression to make.
Min Liangping said, "I'll find a job."
Liu Dao stared at the street in front of him: "I think you cook well every day."
"It's not time for retirement." After leaving the community, "I'd better find a copy."
"Whatever you want." Liu Dao pouted, "You have to cook anyway." The
afternoon sun shone on the windowpane on the first floor, and the corners of Min Liangping's chuckle were pulled down instantly. Son, staring at the window glass for a while, he gave all the bags in his hand to Liu Dao.
"Take it, don't move."
Liu Dao looked at him with a puzzled look, but he still waited there obediently.
Min Liangping took out his phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, turned on the camera, focused on the window glass, and pressed the shutter.
"What are you taking pictures of?" Liu Dao shouted at him, "Is there a ghost in that room? Or is it a crime scene?"
Min Liangping came over, took the plastic bag again, and put the phone in his pocket: "I see that the curtains are quite tall. It's good-looking, I'll change it back home."
"Oh." Liu Dao replied vaguely, urging him, "Go home and cook quickly, I'm starving to death."
Because Min Liangping said he was looking for a job, Liu Dao weekend In those two days, he helped him search the Internet for a job that suits him.
Min Liangping went shopping again.
Liu Dao spread out on the sofa, found a few shops and memorized their phone addresses, and finally felt that maybe only working in an Internet cafe was suitable for Min Liangping. He felt clueless, so he simply exited the job search app interface and looked at Min Liangping's phone in a trance.
Liu Dao stared at the mobile phone whose interface was so simple that it did not have an entertainment app, and secretly installed a game of Fighting the Landlord for him. He should not think too much, Min Liangping should be able to play.
He recalled the incident when Min Liangping photographed other people's curtains that day, but he hadn't seen him talking about buying curtains or looking at fabrics in the past few days, so he opened his photo album and flipped through it.
There are very few photos. The photos on the top of the mountain that day have been scanned and lie in Min Liangping's mobile phone album.
Damn, why didn't you send it to me?
Liu Dao was puzzled, flipped through them one by one, and saw that he was leaning against the side of the car, he was so stupid, he thought about it and secretly passed it on to himself.
Then I turned to the picture of the curtain, which was pale yellow, without patterns, and a little blurry out of focus.
"What picture is this taken?" he muttered, but his eyes suddenly widened.
In that photo, there is clearly a mass of irregular light gray image, what is it? A silhouette of a person.
The nose is pretty, slightly arched, and the Adam's apple is clear.
That is the shadow of Liu Dao.
Suddenly, some wanted to scold someone, and in a panic, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Liu Dao put down the phone and put it down to open the door. Before he had time to figure out how to express the panicked emotion in his heart, the man's face appeared in front of him.
Like a person returning home from work who bought food for dinner, Min Liangping stood at the door and said, "I forgot my key, why did you open the door? Are you hungry? You didn't eat much at noon.
" On the back of his teeth, Liu Dao didn't speak, and took the plastic bag in Min Liangping's hand with his head sullen.
"Change your shoes!" he said, "I'll cook for you today."
Min Liangping looked at him in surprise, and pouted to change his shoes.
"Let me come, I don't trust you, I feel that you have the talent to detonate gas."
Liu Dao was not convinced, he walked to the kitchen with a plastic bag, and solemnly declared: "Don't underestimate people, I Tell you, starting from today, every day in the future..."
"I will cook for you!"
