Step by step, he pushed the wheelchair and approached Jiang Nan without any fear of the other party, and the few remaining people around him also stopped their movements and watched his actions.

Standing not far away, Shen Bei seemed to realize that Shen Che might do some earth-shattering events, so he couldn't help but frowned and shouted: "Shen Che!"

When Shen Che saw Shen Bei, he suddenly smiled, his eyes sparkled, and he looked very cute.

"Brother, he killed our father, and you still help him."

"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to harm him."

"Then brother is blaming me."

Shen Bei: "You let go, so many people died, is it interesting?"

"Of course it's interesting. I don't know if I will die or not, but no matter what, wouldn't it be better for everyone to die together?"

Shen Che narrowed his eyes and smiled sweetly, "Especially brother Jiang Nan, today is his good day, if I don't hand this gift to him, I will not rest in peace."

As he spoke, he passed his hand forward to Jiang Nan.

Shen Bei: "Don't!"

Shen Che: "Why, brother is afraid that I will plant a bomb in it?"

Shen Bei couldn't help breathing slightly short of breath because of his nervousness. He looked at Shen Che and said, "This matter has nothing to do with him. I planned to kidnap you last time. I have to get the details from you before I can rescue you." He, the reason why you were exposed was also because of the relationship with the ICBC I was looking for. Jiang Nan just made a mistake and became the person who pushed things along."

Shen Che didn't seem to have thought about it, but soon, he smiled and waved his hands: "My brother is really used to bullying me, but it's okay, as long as it's my brother who did it, I can forgive it. But he can't."

The person behind him took the gift box, walked to Jiang Nan, and placed it at his feet.Then put a silver rail against his head.

"Open."

Shen Che said with a smile.

Jiang Nan's nerves were a little sensitive at this time, and she didn't know where the courage came from to pick up the box.Shen Bei watched from not far away, frowned, and took a step forward.

Then he took a deep breath and opened it.

"what!"

Because she was too frightened, Jiang Nan threw the box away, a small flame spewed out, and underneath was a cake with a clown's face engraved on it.

Seeing that it wasn't a bomb, Jiang Nan's heart relaxed at that moment.

"Fuck me!"

Suddenly it was pushed out violently, and there was a bang!At the same time, a fire came out, and the surrounding things were blown up everywhere.

The force was too great, Jiang Nan bumped into two tables and turned over to the side, the wound on his shoulder hurt so much that he gritted his teeth.And the heat wave just now hit Jiang Nan at the same time, causing his eyes to turn black.The ears seemed to be deafened, there was a buzzing inside, and the rest could not hear anything.

He was completely dumbfounded at that moment, until he saw that the man who pointed at him with a silver rail just now had been blown into two pieces by the bomb and splashed over there.

Thick smoke permeated the entire hall, choking people to cough.Shen Che may not be able to find a real heavy weapon in this short period of time, so this bomb is more similar to the power of a grenade, but close contact is also 100% fatal.

Standing there, Jiang Nan heard the groans of the living people in pain, and was a little dizzy.

He subconsciously pronounced the name, "Where is Shen Bei..."

"Shen Bei..."

Suddenly, a huge panic rushed over like a torrent, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he couldn't help breathing quickly. He tried to stand up, but his legs were weak.

"What about people?"

He asked again, his voice trembling, but no one answered him.

Jiang Nan got up by supporting the legs of the table next to him, and almost couldn't control his emotions and roared out... He stepped on the corpses on the ground, stepped on these people, and walked towards the center of the thick smoke.

From afar, he saw the blown-out wheelchair lying aside, he quickly walked a few steps, and shouted in a panic: "Shen Bei!!!"

Kicking one foot in front, Jiang Nan fell out all of a sudden.

He propped himself up and crawled over there twice, then stood up again, his eyes were already red, and he yelled: "Shen Bei... Shen Bei!"

The situation in front of him made Jiang Nan collapse all of a sudden.

Bloody and bloody, although his body was still there, he was already lying there motionless, and Shen Che next to him was also dying from the bombing, vomiting blood in his mouth, lying on Shen Bei's body, weeping and laughing at the same time.He hugged Shen Bei tightly, as if it was his beloved childhood doll.

Jiang Nan stood there digesting the information in front of her for a long time.

He opened his eyes, wiped the tears from his cheeks, took a deep breath, and kicked Shen Bei: "Get up."

But what he kicked was empty.

Shen Bei's leg was blasted to one side, completely rotten.

Jiang Nan covered her mouth at that moment, tears gushing out.

He bit his palm, letting his teeth sink into the flesh, grunting like a wounded animal, frowning, tears mixed with blood, leaving dirty marks on his face.

At that moment, everything was reduced to ashes, into a dagger of despair that could not be solved.

He wanted to find a place to support himself, so he took two steps back in vain, his legs softened and he sat down.Jiang Nan brushed his own hair, his hands slumped and he didn't know what to do with himself.

At this moment, Jiang Nan suddenly realized that all his subsequent plans might be lost in Donghai, and there was no chance to save it all.

He can no longer see the tattoo on Shen Bei's back that was damaged by him, he can't see him standing on his favorite stage, playing rock and guitar carefree, and he can't walk with him on Degenerate Street. By the side of the road, follow him not far or near, and have a series of passionate and beautiful imaginations about him.There is no way to kiss his lips again, no way to touch everything about him again.

He chased this person for so long, but in the end he still got nothing.He tried everything, tried every means, gave everything, but in the end he couldn't get him.

He watched his mother die once, watched Shen Bei die once, and watched Shen Bei die again.Just this time, completely, without leaving a trace, shattered his world, his soul, his everything, everything.

What did he do in his previous life? God just didn't let him go. He must be made to suffer all kinds of tortures and pains, and finally die in a daze and alone.

Jiang Nan stood there, unspeakable grief burst out at this moment, then gradually calmed down, and then hid deeply in his foggy eyes.

He sat there for a long time until his feet were numb.At this time, he had collapsed both physically and mentally, so that he couldn't see Shen Bei's shallow breathing, only saw Shen Che's body still moving, and the perverted and weird smile on Shen Che's face.

Then Jiang Nan raised her wet eyelids, picked up a silver rail on the ground, and stood up slowly.

Silently and firmly aimed at Shen Che.

"Bang" sound.

That being the case, let him be the last villain and end it all.

Dragging his exhausted body, he rang the doorbell at home.Jiang Fugui opened the door, and was shocked when he saw Jiang Nan like this.Immediately afterwards, he was so angry that he slapped Jiang Nan on the head.

"Didn't you say you got married today! Why did you come back like this?!"

Jiang Nan raised his head slowly, and looked at Jiang Fugui with both eyes, making Jiang Fugui feel a little apprehensive.

Jiang Fugui: "You...what are you doing?"

Jiang Nan seemed to have lost all her strength, she jumped forward and hugged her father.Jiang Fugui thought he was dirty, so he opened his hands and didn't want to touch him.And Jiang Nan seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy that Jiang Fugui couldn't hold on and sat on the ground, muttering all the time, asking Jiang Nan what the hell he was doing.

Jiang Nan crawled behind Jiang Fugui, her arms still around his neck.

Jiang Fugui slapped Jiang Nan backhandedly: "You are crazy! Stand up!"

Jiang Nan accepted it silently, and the traces of the five fingers could no longer be seen on her bloody and gray face.

He whispered in his father's ear, "Dad."

It was obviously a wave of heat, but it inexplicably made Jiang Fugui feel cold all over.He immediately stopped his back, a little trembling...

"Shh, don't be afraid."

Like comforting a frightened horse, he hugged Dad from behind, stroked his greasy hair, his eyes were full of mist, "All these years, really, thank you very much."

For the first time, the first time he heard his son say such words, Jiang Fugui felt a little ashamed.But he didn't say it, he just wanted to break free from his son's shackles: "Okay, okay, get up!"

Jiang Nan's hand slowly covered Jiang Fugui's mouth, a light flashed in his eyes.At the same time, he touched Jiang Fugui's neck with his favourite, silver rail blade, and inserted it bit by bit.

Only then did Jiang Fugui realize what his son wanted to do, but it was too late.

Suddenly, he struggled frantically.But who knows how much strength Jiang Nan will have at this time, just like this, holding his father, preventing his head from getting out of his control, slowly and forcefully cutting his trachea, the blood spurts everywhere, will The front of the house was splashed all over the floor.

Jiang Fugui died in his arms. His body was not cold yet, but he seemed to have smelled the stench emanating from this man.

"So lovely."

Jiang Nan finished to the end, pulled out the silver rail, the corners of her eyes were reddish, and she smiled like a child.

It's not pretty here, there's no pretty sky like a broken face, no crowds that cheer at night.Even the summer here is cold.

It was dark, and there were no pedestrians outside.Jiang Nan was walking on the street covered in blood, following the yellow street lights and walking straight ahead.

Kyoto is so big and the roads are wide.

Unlike the old home in Fengyun, dilapidated houses and narrow alleys.

He finally melted into the night.

Jiang Nan felt that he was really free now.

ending

Jiang Nan was imprisoned because of his bad crimes, but he turned himself in, which caused an uproar in the entire southern society.Because of bipolar disorder, his death sentence was canceled and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.This young boy is very calm in front of the camera. No one believes that he will kill so many people, even his own father.

Soon after, Shen Yaoguo was deprived of party discipline and political rights for life due to corruption, bribery, treason, etc., and was sentenced to death and executed immediately.However, his son Shen Che died in the terrorist attack, and the deceased will not be held accountable.His fiancée Rui Nijin is suspected of transnational crimes and will be sentenced to 30 years in prison and handed over to her country for execution.

On the day of Shen Yaoguo's execution, Jiang Nan didn't see it, but heard other felons talking about it during group activities.When they said it, they all had expressions of rejoicing and giggled gloatingly.These prisoners escaped the death penalty by luck, so they can't stop talking about this kind of thing, let alone the vice president of the country who was pulled out of class not long after he took office.

When someone asked about Jiang Nan, he just looked at those people silently and didn't express any opinions.

The highest prison in Kyoto is a place where political prisoners and serious criminals are generally held. The conditions inside are very simple, and it is enough to just maintain life.A separate cubicle for each person, just white tiles and a hard board bed.It is a public bathroom and toilet, and washing is also in one place.

Collective life is very important here, and the country focuses on cultivating their collective consciousness and sense of goodness in this place.There are studies from morning to night every day, which are basically ideological and moral education.The rest of the time will be voluntary labor and exercise. Apart from the lack of freedom, staying in it is not particularly bad.

Of course, the average prisoner will feel very uncomfortable when they first enter the facility. They will feel lonely, bored, and imprisoned. Many people who cannot adapt are prone to psychological problems, so psychological counseling is often available here.

Jiang Nan is very adaptable, his heart is very heavy, not impetuous at all.Get used to loneliness, get used to being bored.More importantly, he is now his own, so there is no problem of freedom. Even if he is locked in prison and does things according to the regulations every day, Jiang Nan is also not imprisoned.

Later he heard that Anyang also came in, because they were involved in the last terrorist attack, and after investigation, they also went to prison.But their crimes were less serious, and they were released within a few years.Although Jiang Nan and Anyang were in the same prison, they were not in the same district. The reason why he knew about Anyang was because he was unsafe and made some mistakes after he came in. After being sentenced for a few years, the news spread here.

Naturally, this is a typical case to educate the felons who are ready to move. Since they have been sentenced to life for decades, they must strive for a commutation of their sentences and get out early. Making mistakes will only make them stay in there longer.It's a bit of rebellious garbage, thinking that he will stay for so many years anyway, and he will always find trouble in it.

Time passed by little by little, no matter how impetuous people are, they will eventually wear off.The worst thing is that after staying for more than ten years, I am used to the life here and have no energy to toss about.

After staying there for a year and a year, Jiang Nan took medicine on time to control his condition, went to bed on time, and worked on time, and lived well.

People sometimes ask him, you don't look like a psychopath who killed so many people at all?

Jiang Nan's answer was just a smile.

Others later thought he was a normal person, maybe it was just that the hormones went to his head when he was young, and he missed and did something wrong. Even the prison guards thought he was locked in the wrong place, and they always regarded him as a role model for others to learn from. .

This is funny, it's like returning to the high school days, he became the president of the school's student union because of his outstanding performance, and became a model for the whole school and an object of study.In this respect, he will always be the most powerful person.

At that time, this was what Jiang Nan was after, he liked the feeling of being admired by others.I like it now, but I don't care about it anymore.

Only Jiang Nan knew that every time in the dead of night, he couldn't fall asleep and missed others.

In the first ten years, he could still remember Shen Bei's appearance clearly, but the following years became more and more blurred.The long days are repeated every day, just like the delete key, clearing up many things that were not there in the past, and filling them with new things again. If they are not filled enough, they will be empty.

By the time Jiang Nan was released from prison, he hadn't thought of the existence of this person for many years.

Because of her outstanding performance and nothing to criticize, Jiang Nan was granted the right to be released from prison early.But he has spent most of his life in prison, and he is really a bit like Old Bu in The Shawshank Redemption, he has no idea of ​​going out.But this is not a movie after all, and he will not commit suicide like Lao Bu because he cannot adapt to the new society, and then leave a message of his visit here.Life is the same everywhere, isn't it?

He's not that pathetic.

When he came out, he saw some people waiting at the gate of the prison. They all looked at the gate with different expressions, and they might all be relatives and friends of those who had been released after serving their sentences.Some people came out and hugged them awkwardly, and some left without any communication, but I didn't see the people who often appeared in TV dramas, crying bitterly and saying confession and forgiveness.

Dragging a small amount of luggage, Jiang Nan stood on the streets of Kyoto, wanting to go home.

I saved some money after working in prison for decades, not much, but I can live.He bought a train ticket with a hard seat, and sat for two days and one night back to Fengyun City.

Unlike Kyoto, Fengyun likes to be foggy, but the air is quite good, without any dust.

It was already evening when the train arrived, Jiang Nan didn't take a taxi, anyway, there were not many things, so he walked along the streets one by one, just like when he left the city.

It hasn't changed much here, it's just brighter and more beautiful.Neon lights flashed everywhere, and men and women passed by me noisily. It was rush hour, and traffic jams were overwhelming.The straight-tempered Fengyun man couldn't suppress his nature, so he honked his horn everywhere.There are piles of barbecue stalls in the small streets, and people who drink beer at night take off their clothes to reveal their big belly, sweating like rain while eating chili in the [-]-degree weather.Jiang Nan returned to Fengyun, this familiar, noisy, and vital place.

It's just that this year, he is old and his body is not as good as before.

After walking for a short time, I became tired.

Jiang Nan hailed a taxi and gave the address of the old house.The driver master didn't remember this place, so he turned around and pulled over.Later, I remembered that Fengyun City is now a municipality directly under the central government, and it is developing very fast. The old houses and alleys here have been demolished many years ago, and there are no more.

After thinking about it, the room I lived in after moving out of the old house was a 20-story high-rise building, and I should still keep it. I later paid the house price in full, and it should still be there now, but the key is gone.

The enthusiastic driver saw that he had traveled a long distance and returned after many years, so he told him that it was all right, as long as he showed his ID to prove that the house was yours, the property management could reissue the key for you.

Sure enough, the neighborhood is still there, but it is not as luxurious as in memory, and compared with the surroundings, it is also much older.

This piece will probably be dismantled in a few days.The kind driver master told him so.

Jiang Nan thanked him and dragged his luggage to look for the property management. He couldn't remember how many floors he was on, so he just took out his identity certificate and asked the property management for help.

At this time, the property management was off work, and there was only one old woman on duty. She kindly dug it out and looked at it, and told him the room number.

"So it was you."

The old lady said such a sentence, but Jiang Nan didn't pay attention, and just asked her to help get the key.

The old woman waved her hand and said, "I'm off work today, so I can't get you a key. You just go up there. Your brother's friend just came here today to help your brother pack his things, and he hasn't left yet."

Jiang Nan was a little surprised: "Who?"

The old woman: "The one named Anyang is your brother's old friend for many years, you should know him. He is an old man who is dozens of years old and still does it himself. His son is worried that something will happen to him, so he is also with him."

The name didn't evoke any memories in Jiang Nan's mind at first, but it was vaguely familiar.But Jiang Nan didn't have any older brothers, so he asked the old lady to check again, and the old lady was sure, saying that there was nothing wrong.

Just when Jiang Nan was dubious, the old woman suddenly called out to the person behind him.

"Hey!! Old man An, don't wait till it's gone!! Oh, it's really a coincidence that his brother is back."

She enthusiastically pulled Jiang Nan to Anyang and introduced him.

Jiang Nan and An Yang looked at each other, not knowing each other.

"His younger brother! Shen Bei's younger brother!"

Seeing that they hadn't moved for a long time, the old woman hurriedly added another sentence.

Shen Bei.

Jiang Nan felt a little dizzy all of a sudden, opened his mouth in a daze, and didn't speak.

Anyang looked at Jiang Nan, frowned, and said for a long time: "Oh... that Jiang..."

"Jiang Nan."

"right."

Some embarrassingly reported their names, and the two sides fell into a brief silence.Anyang glanced at Jiang Nan and said, "You can still see it."

Jiang Nan: "What."

An Yang: "I can see the shadow of your youth."

Jiang Nan snorted.

"Come up with me."

As Anyang said, he turned around and walked back. Jiang Nan thought about it, and then stepped up to keep up.

The elevator stopped and shook twice.

"Old elevator."

"Ah."

Shuangshuang walked out, Anyang took a few steps, and opened the half-hidden door: "Come in."

This was the house he had lived in before, he remembered.It's still the old furnishings, things basically haven't changed much, but some new things have been added.There was an old guitar hanging on the wall, covered in dust and looking like it hadn't been touched in years and years.

There is a wheelchair on the balcony.

Anyang pointed to the sofa: "Sit down."

Then he remembered something again and smiled: "Fuck, this is still your house after all, I feel like a master."

Jiang Nan said with some uncertainty: "You... have lived here all these years?"

"No." Anyang paused and said, "Shen Bei lives here."

Jiang Nan frowned, and for a long time, he asked in disbelief, "Shen Bei...isn't he dead?"

"died."

An Yang said, "What happened a few days ago, you were unlucky and didn't see his last side."

After speaking, he fell silent.

Jiang Nan's hands unconsciously tightened and then loosened, and her eyes suddenly became slightly moist.

what a pity.

what a pity.

What a pity, what a pity.

He sat on this sofa for a long time in a daze, and he didn't even hear Anyang leave.By the time he came back to his senses, more than half of the night had passed.

Jiang Nan stood up, his blood sugar was low due to old age, and his eyes turned black. He propped himself on the sofa, and it took a long time for him to recover.

The room was still the same as before, he seemed to be able to see the young Shen Bei smoking, drinking and playing the guitar here.But these imaginations are all wrong, he only has Shen Bei's first half of his life in his mind, and only his appearance before his legs were blown off.He didn't know how Shen Bei survived the explosion, and he didn't know why Shen Bei returned to Fengyun from Kyoto to live in this house under the name of his brother, and he didn't know that for so many years, he was How to guard these things and wait for him to live his last days.

Shen Bei died of lung cancer.

It was painful to leave, but Jiang Nan didn't know it.

Jiang Nan walked around this room next to each other, Anyang packed many things of Shen Bei, and there were not many left.I found one or two photos from the drawer, which were when Shen Beisi was 50 years old.

In the photo, he is sitting in a wheelchair with a cigarette in his mouth, surrounded by a park.He was a little impatient and angry, but less.The eyebrows are still the same as before, but they look more mature.There is a familiar animal next to it, it seems to be the kitten they raised together back then.

He took the photo to the balcony and sat in Shen Bei's wheelchair.

Jiang Nan looked at the photo for a long time without looking away.Can't get enough of it, can't get enough of it.

Here is Fengyun, and there are drunk people singing loudly below in the early morning.He heard a kid singing arrogantly: "but Iamacreep, Iamaweirdo...hahaha."

He smiled wantonly, and the girl next to him chased and beat him, making a sound like a silver bell.

Jiang Nan touched the tears in the corners of her eyes, leaned on the wheelchair and did not speak.

Here the sky is dark blue, like a broken face.Just to see the stars, to see the light.

Summer is so hot and dry, like a man with vigorous puberty.Jiang Nan dragged her tired, aging body and fell into a deep sleep.

He is missing someone, and he may meet in a dream.

After walking for a short time, I became tired.

Jiang Nan hailed a taxi and gave the address of the old house.The driver master didn't remember this place, so he turned around and pulled over.Later, I remembered that Fengyun City is now a municipality directly under the central government, and it is developing very fast. The old houses and alleys here have been demolished many years ago, and there are no more.It has turned into a large square, where people of all ages are dancing baba dances, and some people are chatting in pairs, or using public exercise equipment to exercise.

It didn't matter if this place disappeared, Jiang Nan didn't feel any regrets at that time, but he was a little sad and didn't know where to go.

After thinking about it, the room I lived in after moving out of the old house was a 20-story high-rise building, and I should still keep it. I later paid the house price in full, and it should still be there now, but the key is gone.

The enthusiastic driver saw that he had traveled a long distance and returned after many years, so he told him that it was all right, as long as he showed his ID to prove that the house was yours, the property management could reissue the key for you.

This piece will probably be dismantled in a few days.The kind driver master told him so.

Jiang Nan thanked him and dragged his luggage to find the property manager.As a result, when we got there, we found that the property management had already left work.Jiang Nan was a little worried for a while, but she had no choice but to go up and try her luck.He had always had the habit of putting the spare key in a place outside the door, in case it was still there, in case he was lucky enough to find it.

The elevator trembled when it reached that floor. It was an old house, so it was still a bit dangerous after all.Jiang Nan followed her vague memory to find her own door, and when she saw the white blanket under it, she stopped in her tracks.

It's just... It's impossible for this mat to be so white after so many years. Jiang Nan looked around and confirmed that this was his house.
