The western area has been partially built, Zhang Chi walked along the bluestone pavement with red lanterns hanging on both sides, the current block is not large, and you can walk back and forth in ten minutes. The atmosphere of the New Year is not lively, and now young people are paying less and less attention to the Spring Festival, and most of the relatives and friends send each other a blessing message.

Zhang Daxian people don't like the Internet, although the Internet can indeed provide a lot of convenience, but I always feel that because of the appearance of this thing, people are becoming more and more indifferent to each other, and the mortal world has actually produced an alienation similar to that of Heavenly Court.

Zhang Chi thought of Lin Daiyu, I don't know how she spent this Spring Festival in a foreign country? raised his head and saw Lin Chaolong strolling on the street, Lin Chaolong also saw Zhang Chi at the same time, both of them thought they were wrong, confirmed it, and then smiled at the same time.

Zhang Chi said respectfully: "Uncle Lin, Happy New Year!"

Lin Chaolong nodded: "Are you back for the New Year?" He once invited Zhang Chi to celebrate the New Year together in the capital, but he was refused.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I only arrived in Beichen at noon today. ”

Lin Chaolong said, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it!"

"I haven't eaten yet, accompany me for two drinks?" Lin Chaolong's invitation this time did not have any purpose, he really wanted to find someone to accompany him, and when he met Zhang Chi here, he actually gave birth to an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Zhang Chi didn't refuse, nodded and said, "I'll invite you to eat whatever you want." ”

Lin Chaolong laughed: "I'll invite you to eat Japanese food." Seeing Zhang Chi's embarrassed expression, he knew that he didn't like it, and he didn't have any authentic Japanese food when he looked at Beichen. Lin Chaolong said: "Or you please." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "If you don't dislike it, I will invite you to eat barbecue." He is also a little deliberate, the more the old yin is on top, the more he wants to take him to this kind of barbecue stall to feel the feeling.

Lin Chaolong said: "There is still a barbecue today?"

"Yes, I just saw one next to the River Kwai. ”

Lin Chaolong actually nodded, followed Zhang Chi towards the barbecue stall by the river, and when he arrived at the place, he found that the stall had been closed, and only the mutton ramen next to it was still open.

Zhang Chi touched the back of his head a little embarrassed: "There was it just now." ”

Lin Chaolong said: "That's it, ramen is fine." ”

The two went in, Zhang Chi ordered a lamb tripe, a boiled peanut, roasted mutton, and fried mung bean sprouts, and the two of them didn't need to be too extravagant to eat.

Lin Chaolong looked at the wine, there was no good wine in the mutton restaurant, he got up and went out to the cigarette and liquor wholesale next door to buy two bottles of Mengjiu handicraft class, although Moutai and Wuliangye also had them, he didn't dare to buy them, there were too many fakes.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Lin, I'll invite you when you say yes, how did you buy wine?"

Lin Chaolong smiled: "You invite me to eat, I invite you to drink, I don't like to owe others in my life." ”

Zhang Chi unscrewed the bottle of wine, poured it into the glass, picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle Lin, I respect you!"

Lin Chaolong said: "What do you respect me?"

"I wish you good health. ”

Lin Chaolong smiled: "Don't you wish me a lot of money?"

Zhang Chi said: "You are so rich, you can't spend it anyway, any more is a burden." ”

Lin Chaolong laughed, he touched the wine glass with Zhang Chi, and drank the wine in the cup with a tilt of his neck.

Zhang Chi was not to be outdone in front of Lin Chaolong, and also dried the wine in the cup in one gulp, to say that the taste of this wine is really not bad.

Lin Chaolong tasted the lamb tripe, he didn't remember the last time he ate this kind of fly restaurant, not to mention, the taste was more enjoyable than Japanese food, one side of the water and soil raised the other side, he still loved this bite in his bones. Pick up the garlic on the table and peel the garlic cloves, and eat a bite of mutton to take a bite of garlic.

Zhang Daxian found that Lin Chaolong had actually put down his previous elite personality, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, did you often come to this kind of place in the past?"

Lin Chaolong said: "When I was a child, I wanted to come, but I couldn't afford to eat, and when I could eat, I didn't have time to come." "Life is a contradiction.

Zhang Chi said: "It's not that you don't have time, the main thing is that your identity is not suitable for this kind of place." ”

Lin Chaolong said: "Identity is in the eyes of others, if there is no one else left only yourself, money and status are meaningless at all, it is better to have a glass of wine and eat meat." He picked up the wine again: "Come, let's have another glass." ”

Zhang Chi was keenly aware that Lin Chaolong must have encountered something, and it was not a trivial matter. Thinking of the impact of the failure of the life field upgrade on his company a few years ago, he knocked on the side and said, "Did the incident that happened in our academy affect your business?"

Lin Chaolong nodded: "It's a little impactful, but it's not big, didn't you say it, anyway, I'm so rich, even if I lose a little, I still can't spend it, and it's a good thing to be less cumbersome." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Thoroughly! I'll toast you again." ”

When he raised the wine glass to toast, Lin Chaolong saw that his watch was actually the same as himself, Lin Chaolong's first thought was that this product might be bought from Zhanxi Watch City, and it must be true after a little more look, Lin Chaolong said: "The watch is good!"

Zhang Chi looked at Lin Chaolong's nautilus: "Yo, it's the same as you." ”

Lin Chaolong said: "This watch is very hot, the super official price is almost doubled, and it was not as hot as it is now when I bought it." ”

Zhang Chishen said mysteriously: "I'm a fake watch." ”

Lin Chaolong has such eyesight, this kid obviously wears a real watch and actually tells himself that it is fake, could it be that this watch was bought for him by Chu Wenxi? Lin Chaolong is suspicious by nature, thinking that this is the only possibility, and with Zhang Chi's current ability, he will definitely not be able to afford it.

Because of the watch, Lin Chaolong remembered Huang Chunxiao's benefits again, she gave him this watch back then, but now it looks like a human being, he gave Chu Wenxi a second life, but Chu Wenxi didn't give him anything, and after the divorce, he took 100 million from himself in the name of Huang Chunxiao.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Lin, have you contacted Xiaoyu in the past two days?"

Lin Chaolong glanced at Zhang Chi, it seemed that Chu Wenxi really didn't tell him about it. Lin Chaolong said: "She's fine!"

Zhang Chi said, "Has Aunt Huang contacted you?"

Lin Chaolong said in his heart which pot are you not open and which pot to mention, before the festival I specially asked her whereabouts You don't know, but now I asked about me, Lin Chaolong shook his head and said: "We have been in touch since we separated, Zhang Chi, you really don't know the reason for our divorce?" He asked deliberately, trying to see from Zhang Chi's reaction whether Chu Wenxi had told him or not.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Uncle Lin's family affairs, how can I be better as a junior, by the way, I received a greeting from Aunt Huang." ”

Lin Chaolong was pleasantly surprised: "Really?" The time for Chu Canghai's ultimatum to him was getting closer and closer, although Lin Chaolong used all kinds of channels, there was still no news of Chu Wenxi, and he didn't expect to get Chu Wenxi's information from Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi gave Chu Wenxi's mobile phone number to Lin Chaolong, he couldn't guarantee that the call could get through, with the attitude of trying it out, maybe his mother didn't want to answer his phone, maybe he didn't want to answer Lin Chaolong.

There are some things that Lin Chaolong is not convenient to say in front of Zhang Chi, and he leaves first under the pretext that there is something wrong. Lin Chaolong called according to the number, although the phone was unblocked, but the other party did not answer, Lin Chaolong sent a message to the past, but never got a response.

Lin Chaolong walked aimlessly along the street lamp alone, under the dim light of the street lamp, there were a few flying flowers fluttering, falling on his face and feeling a little cold, Lin Chaolong realized that it was snowing, he didn't feel cold, and the alcohol made his body warm.

He quietly asked himself what he was afraid of? Although Chu Canghai was strong, he might not lose in the competition of the bright and bright, and the light Lin Chaolong looked up at the dark night, he preferred the dark, only in the night did he feel safe, he didn't have to worry about too many people recognizing him, he could let go of all his restraints, walk freely on this ordinary street, and be an ordinary person.

Lin Chaolong came to the old house of the Huang family in the past, after the fire, he asked people to rebuild here, and it was completed a year ago, but Lin Chaolong had never been to the courtyard once, and when he came to the courtyard gate, he saw a woman's figure standing there, staring blankly at the courtyard gate.

Lin Chaolong was taken aback, and quickly judged who it was from the back, and said softly, "Chunli?"

Huang Chunli turned around slowly, her eyes glanced indifferently at Lin Chaolong's face, she knew Lin Chaolong, and she also knew that he was her brother-in-law, but there were very few memories of Lin Chaolong, and she said calmly: "Brother-in-law!"

Lin Chaolong suddenly remembered that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, this is the real reason why Huang Chunli came back, this is her maiden home!

Lin Chaolong squeezed out a smile and said: "It's the first time I've come, and I have changed the password lock, and your sister suggests that the password should be used for your birthday, and this house originally belonged to you." ”

Huang Chunli didn't speak.

Lin Chaolong suggested: "Go in and have a look." ”

Huang Chunli nodded, came to the door, pressed the password made up for her birthday, and the courtyard door opened, and the layout of the buildings inside was the same as in the past, but all of them had become new, the landscape of the courtyard was redesigned, and the two separate courtyards in the past were connected. Lin Chaolong drew a sketch based on his memories of this place, while Huang Chunli had just lost more than ten years of memory, and the courtyard in her memory was originally like this.

The fish pond houses several large koi fish, which are now the only residents of the area.

When Huang Chunli went to visit the house, Lin Chaolong stood by the fish pond and admired the koi, the colorful koi fish swam around in the water, floating in the light, disturbing the pond water, but also disturbing his state of mind, he has too many ulterior secrets, the more secrets, the more flaws.

These secrets have become a stinger in his heart that grows backwards, poking him bloody and full of holes.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Canghai had not contacted him so far, and there were only two hours left before Chu Canghai's ultimatum.
