"Boss, ten skewers of meat skewers, then four skewers of steamed bread, two skewers of corn, and another ten skewers of palm treasure....."

Li Cheng and Qi Huairen sat at the barbecue stall, Qi Huairen sat in a daze, as if he was still thinking about what to talk about, and the air became a little heavy. And Li seriously took on the responsibility of ordering and paying the bill first, and opened the chatterbox.

"Uh.... Father-in-law, do you drink?"

When Li seriously prepared to order a drink, he looked back at Qi Huairen, although he had a good amount of alcohol, he didn't like to drink very much, unless he was with people, otherwise he would never drink for no reason.

"I won't ..... Well.... Forget it, let's have a few bottles. ”

Qi Huairen originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his attention, maybe with the idea that the sluice gate could be opened wider after drinking some wine.

"Well, here it is.... Four bottles. ”

Li nodded earnestly at Qi Huairen, and then stretched out four fingers to the waiter.

After ordering, the waiter left the table for two, and the atmosphere between the two returned to stiffness, and the feeling of having a lot to say but not knowing where to start was really a bit heartwarming. It's like a roll of scotch tape that you rush to use, but you can't find where his opening is.

"Uh.... Inside.... Mengli and I have known each other for a while, why haven't we heard her talk about the past?"

The two looked at each other and stared at each other for a long time, and finally Li Zheng suddenly remembered the words of the dick boss, about Qi Mengli's past. He suddenly became curious, and it just so happened that this was also a good point to open the conversation, so he didn't hesitate and asked.

"Dream Glass.... Didn't she tell you?"

Qi Huairen froze for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at Li Zhengcheng. He thought that Qi Mengli and Li seriously fell in love, and they would definitely talk endlessly and share all the past things with him, but now it seems that they don't.

"Ahh Well, we've only been together for a short time, and I asked her when we weren't together before. ”

Li seriously saw Qi Huairen's somewhat puzzled eyes, knew why the other party felt strange, and quickly explained.

"But.... Mengli doesn't seem to want to share those past with me, and I still remember her expression, a little sad, a little painful...."

Li seriously said and remembered, and remembered the scene of walking with Qi Mengli before, at that time he asked with a big grin, but Qi Mengli did not answer herself, her expression was very sad at the time, Li Zheng also knew that I am afraid that something had happened, so although they were already together, he had always maintained respect for Qi Mengli's past. It's a tacit understanding that doesn't require words, or even eyes. I understand that you do not want to, therefore, I do not ask.

"After we were together, I was afraid that she didn't want to think about something, so I never asked. ”

At this time, Li seriously ordered the barbecue has been served, he is holding a string of palm treasures in his hand, but he refuses to enter it, just holding it in his hand and looking at it, it is not very good-looking, but he needs something to look at, otherwise he can't keep staring at his father-in-law.

"Hmm... It's all old stuff..."

Qi Huairen looked at Li Zhengcheng and his good impression of him increased a few points again.

"It's okay, these things, she was still young at the time, there were shadows, and it was normal that she didn't want to think about them. I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you are not allowed to mention it in front of Mengli. ”

Qi Huairen picked up the beer next to him, opened a bottle for himself, and held it in his hand.

"Well, I promise you. ”

Li looked at the wine in Qi Huairen's hand seriously, and poured himself a glass very knowingly. The relationship between the two is not good enough to clink glasses, so it is better to hold it in your hand. Say a few words, take a sip, refresh your mind, wake up your mind, strengthen your courage, and block your tears, all of which are quite practical.

"Do you know the infectious disease that swept the world all those years ago?"

Qi Huairen took a sip of wine, Li Zheng also took a sip, and the two men, an old man and a young man, were pried open by a sip of wine.

"Hmm... You mean the HeLa virus, of course you know.... Impressed...."

Li seriously stunned, HeLa virus, of course he knows.... At that time, the virus broke out on a large scale, paralyzing all aspects of various countries, and even the most basic network communications were forcibly suspended. This virus has not only taken many lives, but also ruined the lives of many people. Some people, although lucky enough to escape the judgment of the virus, can avoid capital crimes, but the lucky ones may end up with a thousand dollars, and the unfortunate ones are ruined. And Lee's serious family .... Undoubtedly not lucky, those will be mentioned later.

"That's right...."

Qi Huairen only said two words, his voice trembled a little, and his eyes were a little sour. He quickly took a big sip of wine, and then he eased up. Look, wine, it can really stop tears.

"Mengli's mother, you haven't heard us mention it, have you. ”

"No...."

"Haha, my wife, it's called Mercy Tianxin, and it's a doctor....."

Qi Huairen's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, his voice trembled even more, and his nose turned red, if he hadn't seen that there was a young man in front of him, he would definitely not be reckless at this time, anyway, tears don't cost money.

When Li seriously heard this, he couldn't answer anymore. The illness was very big back then, and countless white-clothed soldiers and white-clothed angels died in the line of duty, and they closed their eyes forever on the front line of the battle against the virus.

"Goo-doo~Goo...."

After several sips of wine, Qi Huairen finally suppressed the boiling dullness in his chest.

"Tianxin! But she's a hero! How many people were frightened back then, some doctors resigned, and some even secretly withheld resources to make a fortune!"

The alcohol seemed to work, Qi Huairen's face gradually turned red, and his voice became much louder.

"But Tianxin is different.... In their group, there were ten people in total, and nine of them ran away..... She was the only one left, and she was responsible for the work of ten people..... She didn't go home for months, and the only time she came home was to pick up something.... I took it and left, and I didn't even have time to give Mengli a hug...."

Li looked at Qi Huairen seriously and movingly, he didn't expect that Qi Mengli's family was also the victim back then. In fact, his own family also has a lot of stories, but he can't tell anyone.....

"Boy, you know what.... Her face at the time.... Oh, helpless, firm, regretful..... Responsibility ....."

Qi Huairen said this, shook his head, and poured a large sip of wine again.

"After that, it was another two months, and our father and daughter finally couldn't help it, wearing masks and thick clothes to secretly go to her. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Huairen suddenly laughed stupidly, as if he remembered some happy memories.

"Mengli was very happy at the time, bouncing along the way, and singing, saying that she could finally see her mother, I really miss her, I want her to hold herself, I want to eat the prawns she made herself..."

Qi Huairen, who was still smiling, slowly choked up when he said this.

“.....”

Li Zheng was a little at a loss, with his seniority, he really couldn't comfort Qi Huairen, let alone say anything "I understand you", all he could do was be silent and listen.

"When we arrived, we were confronted with a riot, and some crazy patients, who thought they had lost hope, were crazy about destroying things, and some of them were even ... I also spread the virus by splashing bodily fluids, and I want to pull others on my back.... That's when I realized how many sluts there are in the world.... And how cheap people can be!"

Qi Huairen slammed the table hard, and the loud noise attracted the diners around him, but Li Zheng didn't feel anything, he also remembered something, he couldn't help but look around, there were people everywhere, there was talk and laughter everywhere, at first glance it was a lively night scene, but under that layer of skin, under the hypocritical words, what kind of truth was buried?

"Tianxin, she was very safe, she was still doing research in the laboratory, and someone was protecting her, but she just.... She came out of the lab because she saw us on the surveillance....."

Qi Huairen said here, stopped, and finally couldn't control it, no amount of wine could stop the sadness, but it didn't matter, just crying, let him go.

Li Zheng didn't say anything, just looked at the man in front of him who was over half a hundred years old and sobbed secretly, and then also drained the rest of the wine in the cup in one go.

"Mengli was so happy when she saw her mother come out, she screamed, and ran over, we were far away..... Didn't hear Tianxin, she told us to hurry back....."

The crying tone in Qi Huairen's tone became more and more obvious, and it had changed from sobbing to crying.

"A madman suddenly rushed out .... I had a knife in my hand! It was a real knife! I ran over like crazy, but I didn't have time.... Tianxin she was stabbed .... Mengli is also infected with the Hella virus..."

Qi Huairen said this, and couldn't say any more. Being able to say so much is also because of the effect of alcohol, he doesn't want to recall the grief of the past at all, but now he says it.

Li Zhengcheng already understood at this time, what Boss Dick said in the past, it turned out that this was what he was referring to. Lian Tianxin tried her best to protect her daughter with her body, but she still couldn't prevent Qi Mengli from being scratched and infected with the virus. As for why Qi Mengli is still alive, I'm afraid that her extreme healing had already awakened at that time, but only Lv1's extreme healing could not cure the HeLa virus, and the virus and the ability collided wildly in her body, which made her look like that..... And all this finally came to an end after she broke through Lv2, the balance was broken, and the Hella virus was vulnerable.

"I'm fighting, I'm fighting.... I broke the bridge of the man's nose, I knocked out all his teeth, but what good was that... Hahaha! Tianxin still went, and Mengli didn't have a mother anymore...."

Qi Huairen was completely drunk at this time, and spoke loudly, and from time to time there would be some indistinguishable whispers, as well as one or two sad laughter.

"Waiter, check out. ”

Li seriously looked at Qi Huairen, who was already drunk and fainted in front of him, and sighed, this meal, he didn't eat much meat, wine, he drank fourteen bottles. But Li Zheng also knows that even if Qi Huairen only takes one sip, he will be drunk, this has nothing to do with alcohol, drunk him, it is loneliness and life. A lot of times alcohol is just an excuse, an excuse to escape from reality or sink into the past, and once the alcohol is over, it's time to move on to "I'm fine".

"Father-in-law, let's go. ”

Li conscientiously settled the account, took Qi Huairen's arm, and walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

It was already the middle of the night, the lights were dim, the stars were staggered, and there were only the two of them on the spacious road. They just walked on the deserted street with a drunken man in their hands.

"Boy.... I tell you!life.... It's war, and love is your reinforcement.... He can help you when you are about to be defeated, and pull you up from the edge of the abyss. That person, there is only one person in a lifetime, don't let her down.... She's gone.... You're defeated.... Utterly defeated...."

Qi Huairen lay on Li Zheng's back, drunk, but he didn't forget the lesson.

"Hmm... Certain. ”

Qi Huairen heard Li Zheng's firm response, the wine seemed to wake up a little, he glanced at Li Zheng, and then laughed.

"Hahahahaha! That's it! Come on, cheers!"

He didn't have anything in his hand, but he still learned to hold the wine glass, and raised it towards Li seriously.

"Cheers!

Li Zheng also smiled, learning from Qi Huairen's appearance, the two looked at each other and smiled, "Raise your glass and drink."
