Eight Gifts

"The New Year's bell has already sounded, this is London... This is New York... This is Tokyo... All countries in the world are welcomed by the arrival of the New Year in an unused way." On the TV screen, almost all the stations are replaying the New Year celebration scenes in the early morning of last night. Fireworks, bells, countdowns, shouts, everything is so peaceful.

However, for me, there is no difference between New Year or not. I am only concerned about this paragraph below:

"Dear viewers, in the early morning of this morning, welcoming the New Year in the days of praying for the future, large-scale violent gangs broke out in Da'an, Zhongshan, Wanhua and other districts. I am reporter Qu Ruiwei, and now I report on xx Road, Zhongshan District. The police have blocked the scene. Please see, this is the damage caused by the other party's firefighting to surrounding shops and vehicles parked along the street. According to witnesses, in the early morning of this morning, the largest gang revenge killing in T-city this year occurred on this road. Hundreds of people from both sides gathered here and had fierce conflicts, using heavy weapons including submachine guns, causing heavy casualties. According to the reporter's first time, the smoke of gunfire has not yet dissipated, and corpses are everywhere on the scene. There are also many gangsters rescued to local hospitals and are unable to distinguish their life and death..."

"...The police spokesman, Officer Chen Shaojun, is standing in front of me. Now we ask him to talk about the specific situation about this large-scale gang fight." The camera shifted, and a handsome and stylish young police officer coughed twice. He said with a serious face: "According to the specific situation currently under the police, I believe that the multiple gangster vendettas that occurred in the early morning involved multiple gangs. This is a premeditated gangster fire and the purpose should be to compete for territory and halls. As for the current situation, the people involved in this crime are mainly downstream gangs. I believe they should be encouraged and instructed by some large gangs..."

The camera turned back to the reporter of District Ruiwei. The woman said with anger: "In order to solve the case as soon as possible, the police have many details that have not been released, but according to insiders, it has been confirmed that many dropouts have participated in this gang revenge killing. They are young, why are they going here strangers? Let's interview the famous educator, City Councilman Ms. Lin Peishan, and ask her to talk about the issue of young and violent crimes among teenagers..."

I gently pressed my finger and turned off the TV with the remote control. The following program has nothing to do with me. As soon as the remote control was thrown, I jumped up from the sofa and opened the curtains with a squeak. The winter sunshine leaked in, which made people feel refreshed.

In the street garden opposite, many elderly people are still doing morning shifts as they go, and on the road further away, there are still traffic. What comes and goes is the endless crowds of people traveling day and night in the city.

Every day, there are joys and sorrows of life and death in many corners of the world; the entanglement of love and hatred; the glory of victory and the suffering of failure. On this day, the underworld pattern of T City has been completely changed, and the name of the Sishui Gang is completely included in the police file seal. However, for more people, this day, even the New Year, is nothing more than an ordinary day.

Actually, I had already learned all this on the phone. I think that at this moment, Hun Sen must have been very comfortable opening a bottle of champagne or red wine that had been stored in a cellar for many years, celebrating with his subordinates, and being in a dark joy for his revenge. I have to admit that for him, the last battle with the Sishui Gang was indeed very beautiful. The corpses that fell in the pool of blood were just scapegoats of downstream criminal organizations. For Yu Yuehai Gang, the losses can be calculated in zero. This is the New Year gift he always wanted.

For Hun Sen, there are only two things that are worried about now. One is the police's investigation and accusation of him. No matter what, this time the situation is so big, someone will always come out to take charge of the situation. The police themselves know that this gang fight is related to many gangs such as Yuehai, Hexing, Sishui, Tianxiahui, etc. It is just that there is a lack of sufficient evidence; the other thing that disappoints Hun Sen is that Lu Zhongtian suddenly disappeared. A few days before the two gangs started a formal showdown, Lu Zhongtian had mysteriously disappeared and was rumored to have left the country. This will naturally make Hun Sen feel a little uneasy in the future.

The country has changed continuously, from wars between countries and nations to fighting for a street or street. The struggle for power has always been endless. When Hun Sen said the word thank you on the phone, I felt a little confused. My appearance changed the gangster pattern of T City. Life is sometimes really interesting.

The New Year came silently. I actually endured another year.

What am I doing last year? It seems that I was lying on the hospital bed. What are the girl Zhang Yin, who is dressed in white and as young as an angel, is doing now? She must bathe in the morning light of the New Year with her friends. Memories are really strange. At this time, I think of not those unforgettable women of love, but this girl who flashed through my life and even had a blurred impression.

I always think of specific people or things at a specific time due to the connection between dates. In life experience, although I am still young, my thoughts are already full of gray hair.

On my phone, there was a text message from Fang Yizhen in the early morning: "happy new year!" The simple and ordinary blessing sentences made me smile with a knowing smile. No matter what, in this world, there are always people who are thinking about me, and it feels so good.

Because of the legal holiday of the New Year, the pedestrians on the street seemed to be much slower than usual. I walked out the door and looked at these living lives with interest. I don’t know when I had quiet time, and I always liked to look at these leisurely crowds.

When I glanced at the opposite street, I couldn't help but be stunned. The window of a parked flat car across the street slowly opened, revealing Hun Sen's smiling face. Seeing my eyes looking at him, he raised his hand and waved it gently.

I opened the car door and sat up, laughing and said, "If something big happened, do you actually have time to come to me?"

Hun Sen took out a cigar and handed it to me, saying, "It's a surprise."

I nodded, it was indeed a little surprised. I received a call from him not long ago and always thought that he should have a lot to deal with now. I didn't expect that he would appear downstairs early in the morning.

Hun Sen fired and helped me slowly lit the cigar. He smiled leisurely: "I'm old, please change to smoking cigars, which is better for my health." But he didn't say anything about it. Since he didn't say it, I was too lazy to ask, so I leaned my head back on the chair and enjoyed it leisurely. Although I was not used to the heavy taste of cigars, it was also a pleasant pleasure to taste a different taste occasionally.

Hun Sen looked at me with interest. He smiled and took out a small box from the seat and handed it to me, saying, "New Year's gift!" I laughed and said, "No, I'll give this set." Hun Sen smiled and said, "Milus' new watches given by the boss of the watch shop. I'm not very interested in these precious items, so I'll just borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"Precious product? How much does it cost?" I took it with a smile. I had never heard of any milus. Hun Sen smiled and said, "It's not very expensive, it's not top-notch, it's only about 30,000 US dollars."

I gasped, laughed, and said, "No, it's so expensive, why do I have the nerve to accept it?" Hun Sen shrugged and smiled, "The owner of this watch shop is very good at being a human being. I heard that our Yuehai took over their street. I immediately asked someone to send me this. The news is really extraordinary."

I looked at him and smiled, saying, "No wonder Lu Zhongtian tried his best to compete with you for territory. It seems that his neighborhoods are really rich." As I said that, I pushed the box to him and said, "It's too expensive, I still can't accept it. If you are really willing, wait until you finish your business, you will treat me to a big meal."

Hun Sen is not an ordinary person. Seeing that I refused, he naturally knew that I did not refuse on purpose, and no longer forced me to accept it. He nodded gently and put the box back in the back seat. He smiled and said, "Wen Jun, I only appreciate your courage and ambition, and I am not moved by interests." He said, "If you were not my friend, a person like you, I would be very worried about staying in this world."

I looked out the window, smiled and said, "We have no conflicts of interests, so we are naturally friends." Hun Sen nodded slowly and sighed, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Since you don't want to go this path, I will naturally not force you. But what I promised you will definitely do, just speak when you need it."

I said leisurely: "This is certain. When it's time to bother you, I will naturally not be polite." Hun Sen laughed and said, "It's refreshing!" As he said that, he turned to me and asked with a little strange question: "I have always been very strange. Since you don't want to go back to Mr. Meng, and don't want to stay with us, and you are not doing so many things for personal benefit. Why is it?"

I gently stroked the cigar and watched the ashes fall into the tank, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but to be precise, I don't even understand it myself." Hun Sen shook his head and smiled, and said, "You! Is there such a difficult situation?" I sighed, "Have you ever heard such a saying that there is no love for no reason in this world, and no hatred for no reason. Of course, I have my reasons for doing this, but how to go in the future, even I am very confused."

Hun Sen pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, I'm old, sooner or later, this world belongs to you young people. You are very outstanding and can definitely do what you think." I sighed and said, "There are always some things that are not enough to be confident! Take your time." Hun Sen nodded softly and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. In short, if you need it, I will break both hands. I will hold you to the end!"

I was shocked and suddenly looked up at Hun Sen. Unexpectedly, this gangster giant standing up again made such a sensational promise to me. Hun Sen patted my thigh and said in a deep voice: "This is a world without right and wrong, the strong are prey on the weak. It is ridiculous to be loyal, but if you are in the world, if you really forget the word "loyalty", then what's the point of being a human being?"

I didn't say anything for a long time, and didn't know what it felt in my heart, so I finally said resolutely: "Okay, actually all I really want is only one gift."

"You said!" Hun Sen replied.

"Help me deal with someone!" I said slowly.

Hun Sen didn't say anything, waiting for me quietly. I smiled and said, "Don't have to be so serious. He is not a god." As I said that, I changed my tone and said coldly, "It's just that this person may be more difficult to deal with than Lu Zhongtian. What I want is Xiao Wanquan's life in Tianxing Society!"

Hun Sen didn't say anything for a long time. He looked at me for a long time and suddenly laughed, saying, "So it turns out that what you are going to deal with is Xiao Dafeng. I thought you had a marriage with him." I smiled and said, "I was surprised?" Hun Sen nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, I thought you would say the name of the Mongolian army." I couldn't help but laugh and said, "How is that possible?" Hun Sen smiled mysteriously and said, "It's fine if it doesn't."

I sighed softly in my heart. This wise old man had already seen that the relationship between me and the Mongolian army was strange. Indeed, I couldn't even explain clearly what attitude I should face with the Mongolian army. But I was sure that Xiao Wanquan was sure that there was absolutely only one person in the world who could live between me and him!

"Where are you going?" I saw Hongchao suddenly turning into a one-way line, and I couldn't help but say strangely.

Hun Sen smiled and said, "Today is New Year, of course I want to see Mass. In order to deal with Lu Zhongtian, I missed Christmas Day to go to church, and the Lord will blame me." I shook my head helplessly and said, "No wonder I said why I came here? You are so brave enough to come to church again."

Before Hun Sen could speak, Hong Chao, who had been driving quietly, suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't this still me?" As he said that, he smiled at me from the rearview mirror and said, "What's more, you are here with Wen Jun. Don't say that Lu Zhongtian has already run away now. Even if he dares to kill back, what can he do with Wen Jun?" Hong Sen smiled and said, "Do you know? Many young brothers in the gang look at you like a god." Hong Chao said, "That's right, Wen Jun, you don't come to the gang, it's a pity!"

I was speechless. This kind of high hat would not let me float into the clouds.

The car was parked in the parking lot behind the St. Yalan Church. Hun Sen put on his sunglasses, tidied up his clothes, and with our help, he slowly moved to the wheelchair. However, he did not signal to push, Bao was silent in the venue. Hong Chao also took a bouquet of pure lilies from the back box, lowered his body to put it underground, and then lowered his head to speak quietly. Then I realized that the main purpose of Hun Sen's visit here was not entirely to see the Mass, but more to mourn Azu. No wonder they both wore a black suit. Compared with their casual casual outfit, it was really not solemn.

Azu's honest smile flashed in his mind. This person who had survived countless times with Hun Sen's birth and had survived countless storms and waves was so easily attacked and killed by the other party. Only a few days later, he did not see Yuehai's victory. Life is always such an accident. Once a general succeeds, Azu can at least be remembered by others, and more people can only be destined to disappear in the sea of ​​people in obscurity.

"Put it on!" Hongchao handed me a pair of sunglasses. We stood silently at the place where Azu was attacked that day. After nearly three minutes of silence, Hun Sen raised his head and sighed a long time. I don't know what he remembered at this moment. The only thing that is certain is that this is not artificial. In front of me, he doesn't need to show off.

We left the parking lot and pushed Hun Sen slowly towards the church. Hun Sen was silent along the way, no longer the joy of killing the Sishui Gang just now, or in his heart, there was more guilt. Similarly, I felt a little dull in my heart. I also felt a little tired of many people along the way. Without me, Belle would not die, An Youqing would not die, and even Xiao Shijie would feel a little guilty in my heart. No matter how deliberate I was dealing with him, to be honest, he was pretty good to me.

Hongchao stayed outside to protect him, and I accompanied him to climb upstairs and handed over with him with difficulty. When I entered the St. Yalan Church, Father He was preaching the doctrine. When he saw us coming in, he paused for a moment, seemed a little surprised, but then continued to preach, just smiling at us with his eyes. He said hello.

The others turned their backs to us and looked at the Bible seriously, but they did not notice Father He's pause, but the woman named Ning sitting by the piano raised her head and looked at us, her eyes intertwined with me, and she was stunned. She immediately shook her head back in fear.

It was obvious that this was a fearful look. She obviously didn't expect that the two people who brought her such great trouble that day would dare to appear here again. In her heart, maybe I was a completely crazy and terrible devil who was specifically against God.

It was probably the New Year relationship, and there were many people coming. Hun Sen gently pulled me, sat quietly at the end, drew a cross, opened the Bible on the desk, and looked very seriously. It was incredible that a person like him had come to the church twice, but since he came, I was not inconvenient to say that I would just leave, so I just waited and watched everyone pray quietly.

After a while, everyone started singing the hymns under the guidance of Father He. This hymn was sung in vocals without piano accompaniment. The lyrics were in Chinese and the general meaning was nothing more than praying for peace and wishing all brothers and sisters peace. Although it was the first time I heard it, I still felt a little shocked when I watched everyone so devoted and sang devoutly.

Or the most fascinating thing about religion is that it can create an inexplicable infectious power.

Just as the believers chanted softly under the command of Father He, I suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming around me suddenly, and I couldn't help but look back at the church door. Hun Sen noticed my reaction, turned his head and looked at me, whispered: "What's wrong?" I shook my head, smiled in a low voice, "Nothing."

This is just a potential-like sensing. I can't tell what it means. However, Hongchao is standing outside. If there is any movement, he will definitely remind him in advance. I definitely believe that those who are not so lucky will encounter danger when they come to the church twice.

However, I still believed in my sixth sense and said, "I'll go out and take a look." Hun Sen nodded slightly, ignored me, and continued to sing slowly. I couldn't help laughing. This old guy killed someone and set fire while repenting at the same time. He really didn't know what he was good at.

Walking out of the church, Hong Chao smiled and said, "Why, you can't stand it?" I hadn't answered yet. I had already seen a sports car parked at the intersection. Just looking at the model, I knew it was the expensive and sky-high price.
