I was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to the restaurant owner, "Give me a half-pound bottle of Lao Baigan. -- --"
I drank half a catty in one breath. The spicy liquid passed through my throat, corroding my stomach and brain. It is true that alcohol makes cowards brave. After drinking, I said, "Let's go to Xia Xue's house." Then I stood up and was the first to leave the restaurant.
Standing at the door of Xia Xue's grandmother's house, this independent courtyard has become a lonely building. Everything around it has been razed to the ground without exception, turning it into a desolate ruin. Only a few bulldozers rumbled back and forth, cleaning up the last bit of debris. I exhaled and started knocking on the door. Bang, bang, bang, bang, I had unstoppable courage. The door opened and I was startled, because there were more than ten people, men and women, old and young. Looking closely, Xia Xue's mother, Xia Xue's father, and Xia Xue's uncle were all among them. The others looked more or less like Xia Xue's mother. It seemed that these were all their relatives. I was worried. Could it be that the whole family was out to deal with me? When Xia Xue's mother saw me, she turned around and left. The other elders looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Xia Xue's uncle said, "This seems to be Xiaoxue's boyfriend..."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. They enthusiastically pulled me aside to ask questions and even made way for me to go in. It seemed that Xia Xue's mother did not tell them about me. However, Xia Xue's father said with a sullen face: "Why are you here?" Because of the tone of his voice, everyone realized that something was wrong and fell silent. I said, "Uncle, I'm here to make things clear." When everyone heard it, they knew that something was wrong. It was obvious that they were all well-educated and knew that they should not get involved at this time, so they all returned to the yard. Xia Xue's father said, "Do you have anything else to say? I don't like children who go back on their words." I promised him that I would not mess around anymore. I said seriously, "Uncle, I want to tell you a story, a long story. After I tell it, maybe you will change your mind."
Xia Xue's father looked at me for a long time before he said, "Come in."
A few of us followed Xia Xue's father in. Brick and the others were taken to the guest room, while I went to a side room. Xia Xue's father asked me to wait there. After a while, Xia Xue's father brought two people in, one was Xia Xue's mother, and the other was Xia Xue's grandfather - the white-haired, knowledgeable old man. I quickly stood up and greeted them one by one. Xia Xue's mother ignored me with a cold face, but Xia Xue's grandfather nodded. Although this house is a side hall, it is also very exquisitely decorated, with clear levels of main seats, side seats and guest seats. Xia Xue's grandfather sat in the main seat, Xia Xue's parents sat in the side seats, and I naturally sat in the guest seat. Xia Xue's father said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now." Xia Xue's mother interrupted and said, "No matter what you say, I will not let my daughter be with you!"
Grandpa Xia Xue didn't say anything, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with him. I looked at them, then turned my gaze to the sky outside the window. The pure white cloud was so far away from me...
"Where should I start?" I sighed and said, "Let's start from junior high school. When I was in junior high school, I was the most bullied boy in the class. There was a rich second-generation boy in the class named Zou Yang, and he..."
This lecture lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to night. After a whole day, we only finished telling the story of Beiqi. During this time, we ate, drank water, and went to the toilet. After all, Grandpa Xia Xue was old, and he had to stand up and move his body every once in a while. Xia Xue's mother said, "Dad, if you are tired, go back and rest." Grandpa Xia Xue said, "Such a wonderful life, how can I bear to miss it? Wang Hao, you continue to talk."
Because when I was telling the story of Chenggao and Beiqi, I couldn't avoid talking about the emotional entanglement between me and the four girls. Xia Xue's parents couldn't sit still, shaking their heads from time to time. Xia Xue's mother looked at me with even more irritation, interrupting my story several times and accusing me, saying, "How could you do this?!" Xia Xue's father didn't seem to believe it at all, and kept shaking his head with a puzzled look. If it weren't for Xia Xue's grandfather stopping him, I guess I would have been kicked out by Xia Xue's mother. Then, I started to tell the story of Vocational College and Beiyuan. The story was quite bloody. Xia Xue's parents turned pale several times after listening to it, but Xia Xue's grandfather remained calm and listened to my story carefully.
I kept talking until three in the morning. After more than ten hours, I finally finished telling the whole story of my four-year gang career. When I finished talking about the last battle in Beiyuan, where dozens or even hundreds of people were killed or injured, Xia Xue's parents were completely stunned. Only Xia Xue's grandfather sighed and said with infinite emotion: "What a legendary life, it makes me so fascinated..."
I quickly said, "I don't deserve it. I was forced to do it."
Grandpa Xia Xue yawned and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to rest first." Then he said to Xia Xue's mother, "If you have anything to say, just talk to her. Don't be angry with the child." Then he walked out of the house slowly. When the curtain was lifted, the bright moon was visible in the sky. There were only three people left in the house, me, Xia Xue's father, and Xia Xue's mother. Now, the two of them were still a little pale, as if they had not come out of my story just now. I sat quietly, waiting for their verdict on me. This time, I not only confessed my dark past, but also told the truth about my relationship with the four girls.
After a long while, Xia Xue's father finally said, "So, you have fired a gun, killed people, and your hands are stained with the blood of your own kind?"
I hesitated slightly and nodded.
