Chapter 68 Chapter two

The Spring Festival of 2013 came very late. Lu Jizong was eighteen years old. He graduated from junior high school two years ago and was admitted to a private vocational school. During the winter vacation, I was notified that the school was closed because the principal absconded with money. Every winter, this small southern city surrounded by mountains and rivers is so cold that it makes people shiver from the bones.The narrow streets are full of rubbish, rainy days are full of mud, and the streets are full of "Love Trading" or "The Most Dazzling National Style".At the door of the house is a small hotel with hourly rooms, an Internet cafe, and Malatang. He can call out the name and nickname of each owner.He hadn't been to other places much, not even the chance to travel outside the province - except when he was eleven years old, he went to a big city with his mother.

That experience will be unforgettable forever. For the first time, I saw the skyscrapers, the overpass with heavy traffic, and the villas with Mercedes-Benz and BMW. His mother said in his ear: "Jizong, your father lives here. He will lead us to live a good life." He never met his father. From the day he was born, there were only mothers and grandparents in his world. Seeing that other children had fathers, he had this question. The answer was——your father is in a far away place, he is a heinous Bastard, abandoned you and your mother, never want to see him again in this life. Seven years ago, Lu Jizong didn't know his father's name. It was a copy of his ID card, and the address was right in front of him. This big house of a rich man had already been emptied, and only a young woman was left at the door. .

She is my father's cousin, with a beautiful but glamorous face.It turned out that Dad had disappeared, and the house had changed owners, and no one could help them, even though she gave Mom a few thousand dollars. His mother disappointedly took him back to his hometown. For many years, she maintained food stalls on the street to make ends meet, and she raised her son to a height of nearly 1.8 meters. There was a light blue birthmark on his forehead above the brow bone. In the Guilin rice noodle shop opposite the Internet cafe, there were a pair of eyes watching him non-stop. It was a middle-aged man with an ordinary hairstyle, and his face was hard to remember. There was no beard on his pale face, so he was easily lost in the crowd, except for a faint blue mark on his forehead.

He had just finished eating the spicy beef brisket powder, lit a cigarette and looked across the road. Behind the glass door of the Internet cafe, the tall and thin boy was staring at the screen intently, and he had been holding the mouse tightly for two hours. Two days ago, he took a long-distance bus, mixed with the crowd returning home during the Spring Festival travel, and came to this dirty little city for the first time.In the past seven years, he has not taken a plane, and since the real-name system for train tickets, he has never been on the railway again.But every once in a while, he spends money to buy other people's lost ID cards. His age and appearance are similar to his own, and he can at least live in a small hotel or rented house.He had seen his arrest warrant in many places, and every time a policeman walked by, he was panicked at first, but then calmed down, at most hiding the birthmark on his forehead, anyway, the color is very light and difficult to detect.

He wandered in many places, I still have a lot of cash on me, and after I run out, I can only work for a living, and I will be hungry and full.He ventured back to the big city several times, and even opened a small video store, just as a cover-up to do some illegal business.In late autumn three years ago, a man broke in suddenly—he recognized the police officer named Huang Hai, and immediately fled back frantically. When he rushed to an unfinished building, he felt that the police behind him had pulled out After firing the pistol, he flew out desperately, even if he fell to his death on the spot, it was better than being caught.He actually jumped into the building opposite, but Huang Hai fell downstairs.

Since then, he has taken another life on his back. His name reappeared on the arrest warrant, and his photos appeared at the gates of many stations and banks. Years of fugitive life had turned him into a cunning rabbit, and it was difficult for him to make the same mistake as last time. There was only one time when he took the bus back on a rare occasion, but saw a strange boy. The boy seemed to recognize himself, and then he also recognized the boy. That time was really dangerous, if the bus hadn't just arrived and the bus was really crowded, he would have been caught by that boy named Si Wang.

And isn't it because of this boy that he has fallen into what he is now? Eight years ago, when he saw Si Wang for the first time, he felt an inexplicable fear.Later, he saw the child's mother again, and was awakened by nightmares every night.What made him even more unexpected was that this child came to his house and became his adopted son. Is it because he and his wife have no children? In fact, he knew that he might never have children, but he was an energetic man before the age of thirty, and he had impregnated other women before, how could he become a waste so quickly?He kept looking for the reason—until someone put a vial containing LHRH, or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, in front of him.

Only then did he realize that his wife had been undergoing drug castration all these years. In an instant, he wanted to kill her. Even though he never believed in that child, and at the same time believed that the guy named Ma Li was actually a despicable careerist, in order to avenge his wife, he had to act according to Ma Li's plan. So he bankrupted his wife's family business and transferred tens of millions of assets by the way. Just when he rejoiced that he became a multi-millionaire, and was about to use the money to make great achievements, and even made an appointment to go to Japan for surgery to revive his glory, but he fell into a fatal trap.

In the early spring of 2006, within a few weeks, he too was declared bankrupt. Misfortunes never come singly, the former father-in-law came to the door with a knife, he escaped from the fight, but left the other party lying in a pool of blood. The road to the most wanted criminal... Years later, he kept thinking about his life, the girl in his teens, his brothers in the same dormitory in high school, and the humiliation, jealousy and hatred in 1995. It’s not that he never thought about committing suicide. He stood on the roof of a building or by the river countless times, wanting to jump and end there. At worst, he would be turned into a puddle of meat and be thrown into the cremation furnace as a homeless man, or his true identity would be confirmed by the police and reported to the police. The case of a wanted criminal committing suicide for fear of crime was solved.

Another hero after twenty years. Every now and then, he thinks of that boy, originally called Si Wang, later changed his name to Gu Wang, and is probably still called Si Wang now, an eighteen-year-old boy. Therefore, he decided that he couldn't die, not because he didn't have the courage, but because the matter couldn't just end like this. He had to find the truth from Si Wang, which was the first reason why he continued to live. There is a second reason. Being dependent on others, going bankrupt, being displaced... being caught and shot by the police may not be anything anymore, but what he regrets the most in his heart is that he is doomed to be lonely in this life, and there will be no more children to continue my genes ?

Thinking of the girlfriend who broke up eighteen years ago, she was dismissed by him with a big belly. He was also the one who strongly demanded that the woman abort the child and returned a large sum of money as a breakup fee. Looking back now, he really wanted to stab himself to death. In the winter of 2013, the air was almost frozen to ice. If it wasn't for her address in his address book, I'm afraid he would never have come to this small town in his life.When I came to the dilapidated residential building, I saw her who used to love each other. She had changed from a slim woman more than ten years ago to a bloated middle-aged woman.He almost forgot her name, but it came up so clearly—Chen Xiangtian, including the first meeting nineteen years ago. Yesterday, at the age of forty, she took a slender boy out with her. She looked seventeen or eighteen years old, her face and facial features were somewhat familiar, but her eyes were melancholy and lifeless. The boy also had a blue birthmark on his forehead. The man's heart trembled suddenly, he secretly opened the mailbox of the family, and found the child's name - Lu Jizong.
