Chapter 0002 - Closer to Home
"Chu Lingyun, it's none of your business, don't meddle with it. β
Zhao Hu didn't want to lose face in front of his little friend, so he pretended to be tough, took a few steps forward, and forced the little boy with an angry face.
The little boy smiled lightly, didn't say more, and suddenly accelerated under his feet, and rushed straight over.
Bang bang bang!
Wow β
After a while, Zhao Hu and Li Fei's eyes were blue, and they ran all the way, crying and running to their homes to complain.
"Here, your doll. The boy picked up the doll from the ground and handed it to the little girl.
Taking the doll and holding it in her arms with one hand, the little girl stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Brother Lingyun." β
The little boy scratched his hair and said, "No thanks, no thanks." β
"Brother Lingyun, you say, will I marry you when I grow up? In this way, you can protect me from being bullied by others. The little girl looked at the boy with a wistful expression.
"Oh, yes, I'll marry you when you're older. β
Time flies, and the little boy becomes a handsome young man.
And the little girl has also become a slim and beautiful big girl.
"Brother Lingyun, when are you coming back?"
The girl's eyes looked helplessly at the young man in military uniform, and her tone was full of reluctance.
The young man looked at the girl in front of him with loving eyes, stretched out his hand and gently brushed the hair in front of his forehead behind her ear for her, and said gently:
"Don't worry, I'm just on a mission, and I'll be back soon. β
Speaking of this, he paused and said very seriously: "When I come back, we will get married." β
"Ah!" the girl suddenly let out an exclamation when she heard this, her pretty cheeks instantly flushed, and she lowered her head shyly and did not dare to look at him.
"Hehe, don't I want to?" asked the young man with a smile.
"No, I...... Willing. I do!" The girl quickly raised her head and replied with a panicked expression.
However, when she saw the smile on the young man's face, she suddenly understood something, stomped her foot hard, raised her pink fist and slammed it into his thick chest.
"Haha......"
The young man felt the beating on his chest without much strength, and took the girl into his arms.
β¦β¦
On the bus, the young man looked at the ring given to him by the girl, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Carefully threaded with a rope and hung on his chest with great cherishment.
This is a promise between them, and at the same time it is an agreement.
Now, five years later, it's time to return to her and fulfill the original promise.
Looking at the big man in front of him, Chu Lingyun quickly retracted his thoughts and nodded lightly: "Okay, it's not early, I have to go!" I'm waiting for you in the Dragon Kingdom." β
Immediately, he boarded the helicopter without looking back and quickly disappeared into the rain.
β¦β¦
In August, autumn is already underway, but the air in the East China Sea is still very hot.
In the civilian area on the outskirts of the East China Sea, Chu Lingyun, who had changed into civilian clothes, was carrying a large number of gifts in his hand, and with a smile on his face, he walked to a somewhat low courtyard according to the route in his memory.
It's more close to home.
The corner of his eye swept over everything familiar and unfamiliar around him, and Chu Lingyun's already brisk pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
He has been gone for five whole years, and there is little news.
In the memory, the innocent and beautiful shadow of his fiancΓ©e Xia Weilan immediately came to mind.
Weilan, when I come back this time, I will never leave again.
I, Chu Lingyun, swear!
You must do your best to give you the happiest life, so that you can become the happiest woman in the world, and no one can let you suffer the slightest grievance!
"Dead old woman, if you don't give me the house today, I'll take your daughter to pay the debt. β
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from not far away, interrupting Chu Lingyun's thoughts.
A burst of smashing and frightened screams of women followed.
A familiar and slightly unfamiliar voice immediately came into Chu Lingyun's ears: "Why do you want to occupy our house? You even take people to trespass on private houses! Do you still have the royal law in your eyes?"
This is...... Weilan?
Although many years have passed, Chu Lingyun still heard that the owner of the voice was the woman he had dreamed of and desperately wanted to see.
But there was anger, fear, and panic in the voice.
So much so that he was slightly hoarse.
As soon as his eyes sank, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Chu Lingyun's heart.
The figure seemed to disappear from the spot out of thin air, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the gate of the small courtyard.
At the same time, the invisible aura on his body had already bloomed.
"Little girl, you ...... Are you talking to me about the king's law?"
In the eye, a bald man with a scar on his face was looking fierce, staring fiercely at the two women in the corner, an old man and a young woman, approaching step by step.
And the ground around them was messy and messy.
Wardrobes, boxes, tables, chairs, benches, and the like are toppling crookedly to the ground.
Some have simply been torn apart and scattered.
Since you want to talk to me about the royal law, then brother, I will talk to you about it. β
The bald man stared at them with a smile: "A month ago, Xia Mingshan lost 50,000 yuan in my casino, and then borrowed another 150,000 yuan, plus interest, he should repay me 300,000 yuan." β
"Now, it's time to pay back the money, and he actually disappeared with us, so it's right that we're looking for you?"
As the saying goes, it is only natural to repay debts! It was written there in black and white, and he also pressed his handprint. Do you think there's anything wrong with my words?"
The middle-aged woman with gray temples and deep marks on her face carved by the years looked puzzled.
"What? Gambling money? I still borrow usury from you? 200,000 yuan is 300,000 yuan a month! Is this going to force people to death?"
Immediately afterward, she beat her chest and cried:
"Brute, this damn brute! How did I raise such a white-eyed wolf! I dare to take this kind of money. How are you going to let us live?!"
"Why don't you die......? Why don't you die?! I can't live anymore!"
Xia Weilan hurriedly supported her grief-stricken mother, and persuaded her while giving her comfort:
"Mom, don't cry. Maybe...... Brother has no trouble getting money from them as a last resort. β
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with money, don't be angry with your old man!"
Having said that, Xia Weilan felt bitter in his heart at the moment.
300,000!
With her salary of less than 4,000 yuan a month, even if she does a little odd job, she will be thankful that she can save 5,000 yuan in a month.
For her, the 300,000 is an astronomical amount.
And that's not even counting interest!
It's just desperate.
