Chapter 3: Back to the Beginning (Part II)
Kings Boardwalk, Province of Malaga, Spain
The King's Plank Road, which hangs over the river and stands between the canyons, is known for its dangers.
The two walked cautiously on the plank road, the pace was slow, in order to relieve the slight tension, Dumas told the story to Li Jin, Dumas first came to Spain when he walked the king's plank road, accompanied by a lady, but after walking the plank road the two rarely interacted, and finally broke off contact.
Li Jin asked curiously why, and Alexandre Dumas smiled: "I told her that I was an extreme athlete when I was young, and after I retired, I always dreamed of being able to explore all the dangerous places in the world, would you like to join me?"
I have to say that the story of Alexandre Dumas is very useful, the two talked and laughed, chatting as they walked.
Suddenly, Li Jin heard a rapid birdsong in the sky, and the fog in the canyon was particularly thick at this moment, Dumas saw this, immediately turned around, grabbed Li Jin and said: "Turn around, I don't know what's wrong, go back first, go back and talk about it." Through this period of time together, Li Jin knew that Alexandre Dumas would never make such a joke, so he turned and walked towards the entrance. Although the plank road is narrow, Alexandre Dumas is walking extremely flexibly at the moment, and the two of them saw the entrance of the plank road getting closer and closer, and heard a strong vibration of the mountain on the side of the plank road.
"Damn, it's supposed to be an earthquake, Li Jin, hurry up. ”
As soon as the words fell, because of the shaking of the mountain, there were large and small stones falling from above, an impartial smashed to the plank road guardrail, and passed by the god of death, Li Jin couldn't help but be stunned, seeing the stunned Li Jin, Alexandre Dumas didn't think much about it, and pushed Li Jin hard, pushing Li Jin to the front and slightly safe wide road, but because of inertia, Dumas's left foot was unstable and leaned towards the plank road guardrail. The guardrail that had withstood the impact of the falling rocks used all its strength to slow down Alexandre Dumas's fall towards the guardrail slightly, and Li Jin immediately leaned down and grabbed Alexandre Dumas's arm when he saw this.
"Let's see if I can step on something!" Li Jin shouted at Alexandre Dumas, and then turned his head, and when he saw the people running out of the earthquake, he cursed and said damn it, so he could only hold Dumas to death.
"Huh, Li Jin, do me a favor. ”
"Help, I'm very busy, I'll pull you up and do it myself!" Li Jin felt the loss of the old man's wrist, and immediately scolded angrily.
"My godson's name is Lu Ziqiao, in Shanghai, if you don't move away, you still live in a love apartment, can you help me find him after returning to China, just tell him, I live a very happy life in this life, and I am very regretful, so I hope he can live according to his heart, I don't want to go back to China to face a lot of things, I owe him, sorry for me. Dumas ignored Li Jin's roar and finished the last words, but he was actually quite happy, so he turned his head vigorously and looked at the continuous canyon...
Li Jin didn't know when Alexandre Dumas fell, he sat down on the ground, ignoring whether there was still an earthquake, he just felt the wind in his ears.
Li Jin said and spoke, his eyes were red, and he was already a little choked up in the end, Lu Ziqiao listened and listened, hiding his face silently, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Ziqiao, I'm sorry, your godfather loves you very much. Li Jin tried his best to calm down his mood and said to Lu Ziqiao.
Seeing that Lu Ziqiao didn't answer, Li Jin said again: "I'll send you Alexandre Dumas's ashes and some relics in Spain tomorrow, well... I thought about it for a long time, you were very reluctant to love the apartment and I was reluctant, I have communicated with several real estate owners, and decided to invest in another community, or call it love apartment, the house inside, I can give you one, or give you some shares, you decide. ”
Lu Ziqiao pushed open the door tiredly, Chen Meijia saw Ziqiao coming back, and hurriedly smiled: "Ziqiao Ziqiao, come and see, this is the sirloin steak I specially made for your godfather, I was worried that I couldn't do it well, so I specially asked Sister Yifei for advice on video, hey, why did you come back alone, what about your godfather?"
Lu Ziqiao just squeezed out a smile at Meijia, and then sat down on the sofa, his brain blank.
Sensing that Ziqiao was a little strange, Meijia hurriedly trotted to Ziqiao's side, and saw Lu Ziqiao's somewhat pale and tear-stained face, and hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong Ziqiao, don't scare me." With that, he immediately hugged the man in front of him.
Lu Ziqiao explained the ins and outs of the matter to Chen Meijia one by one, and after finishing speaking, he couldn't hold back anymore, the old man who had no blood relationship with him passed away, so that Lu Ziqiao, who had been unfazed and traveled from south to north, leaned on his wife's shoulder and was at a loss.
After a while, Lu Ziqiao slowly regained his senses, he held Meijia's hand, his tone was still a little low, and he said weakly: "Meijia, let's embezzle some Xiaoxiaobu's baby fund first, and then I'll borrow some money from relatives and friends, I want my godfather to sleep more comfortably." ”
Qingyan Cemetery
This is the first time since the demolition of the love apartment that everyone has been completely together, but no one thought that it would be this way.
"Godfather, I'm sorry, I couldn't accompany you in the last few days, I still remember when we first met, when you were still young, I was still a child, you took me to play, taught me the truth, accompanied me to contact the new world, let me understand that many people are sophisticated, the world is warm and cold, I have always worried you very much, I know that you are worried that I am too much like you, worried that I will become like I want to say two words around no one wants to listen, it will be very lonely, so I have always understood that you have said goodbye many times, and I have never blamed you. You can rest assured, I am living a good life now, there are many friends who are not relatives who are more like relatives, there are people who are willing to spend the rest of my life with me, there are many reasons to work hard and live with me, and I also gave birth to a little granddaughter for you, I will watch her grow up well, and I will often take her to see you, godfather, don't worry too much about me, I know you also have many regrets, so when you get over there, you must live well and live happily. ”
After Ziqiao finished speaking, he exhaled deeply, held back his tears, and bowed to the old man's last home.
Lu Ziqiao was the first to walk out of the cemetery, it was very quiet here, he stared at the mountains in the distance, standing quietly, Zeng Xiaoxian walked over from behind, hugged Lu Ziqiao's shoulders as usual, his eyes were also staring into the distance, and said: "Ziqiao, don't be sad for too long, his old man will feel distressed when he looks at it in the sky." ”
Lu Ziqiao replied: "Yes, I've been thinking about what my godfather brought me before he left for the past two days, I figured it out, it's okay, according to his character, he will be very happy over there." ”
Hearing the footsteps behind, Lu Ziqiao turned his head and looked at everyone, still the same as before, and then said: "Thank you, don't worry, I'm fine, let's go, I still have something to tell you." ”
"What?!Love Apartment is coming back?!Ziqiao, what you said is true?!" After Zhang Wei listened to Ziqiao's words, the cup that he had just put on his lips almost fell off.
Zhao Haitang pushed Zhang Wei beside him, but his words also revealed excitement: "Lawyer Zhang, can you not be surprised, you are a lawyer, you can have a little professionalism, listen to Brother Ziqiao continue." ”
After the landlord's consideration, he acquired a real estate, according to his words, he also has a deep affection for the love apartment, and is unwilling to let so many people who grew up with the love apartment leave, so he plans to name this community as the love apartment, and he will restore the messy things inside the periphery as much as possible, originally he wanted to give me a small share, but I thought about it with Meijia, and I thought that the godfather didn't want me to do it, so I refused, but I made a small request with the landlord, and we decided to decorate 3601 and 3602 by ourselves, and the only difference was that the new suite was a four-bedroom apartment, oh Yifei, I also helped you get back the runway room between you and Teacher Zeng, how about it, everyone?"
After hearing this, Hu Yifei was so excited that he almost looked up to the sky and roared, and hurriedly replied: "Great, great! Ziqiao, this thing is more happy than the birth of Xiaoxiaobu!"
"Sister Yifei and Sister Yifei, don't get excited... You seem to have said this decades earlier..."Meijia glanced at Xiaobu and replied helplessly, her tone full of joy.
Curry Sauce also happily raised the knife and fork, and said to Lu Ziqiao as if it were silly and sweet: "Uncle, in order to celebrate this good news, I decided to move back from school!
Lu Ziqiao also showed the first relaxed smile in the past few days, turned his head and shouted: "Waiter, another curry rice, ten sauce elbows!" Then he raised his glass and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, cheers!"
Zeng Xiaoxian was the first to cheer and said with a smile: "Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
A few months later Love Apartment 3601
Hu Yifei had just finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw Zeng Xiaoxian, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, he roared angrily: "Zeng Xiaoxian! How many times have I told you! Can you not start eating ice cream after eating! You still have a cold for the past two days!" Zeng Xiaoxian stood up unhurriedly, and said in a cheap voice that could no longer be familiar: "Yifei, I will eat one..." "Yifei, have you finished your courseware..." "Yifei, ah (two) ah (four)..."
Meijia looked at Yifei and Xiaoxian, who were playing after laughing, chuckled, and then coaxed Xiao Xiaobu in her arms: "Oh, Xiao Xiaobu, don't look at the strange uncle and aunt, my mother told you the story of the first time I met my father, at that time, your father was still a bad guy who can deceive people, um... Mom wasn't, at that time in the hospital, dad and mom played a game of playing house when they first met, and then dad tricked mom away... There are also a lot of dad and mom stories, little Bu is good, mom will tell you one every day in the future..."
Ziqiao looked at the familiar scene, like a calendar, pulling him back to the past and taking him to the future, he shook his head with a smile and walked from the balcony to 3602.
Zhao Haitang and Curry Sauce were full of pots and pans and all kinds of bottles and jars on the coffee table, and the two of them each held a pair of chopsticks in their hands, and asked the second dog to play a film and television clip that Lu Ziqiao didn't know the name of while gesturing, as if it was called "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City"?
and Zhao Haitang curry sauce said hello, and before Lu Ziqiao could sneak in, he heard the sound of him and Dali's video coming from Zhang Wei's studio.
"Dali, did you just take a nap, don't forget to ventilate the room when the weather has been hot lately. ”
"I didn't eat instant noodles, and Yifei was cooking tonight. ”
"I've been working hard lately, and I've really received several challenging cases, and also, I recently asked Xiao Hei downstairs to teach me to play the drums, and I learned very quickly, and when these cases are almost handled, I'll learn how to drive an excavator." ”
"Dali, remember to think about me. ”
Lu Ziqiao didn't go in to disturb them, turned around and went back to the balcony and dialed a phone: "Hey little aunt, we've been doing well lately, what about you and Guan Gu, well, when Xiaoxiao Bu grows up a little more, I'll take her and Meijia to see you, okay, good night little aunt." After hanging up the phone, Lu Ziqiao leaned on the balcony and looked up at the sky, the stars were always there, and everything seemed to be back to the starting point.
