Chapter 86: The Old Past

The angry ghost car really didn't introduce the wrong master, and Liu Guanxi drove fast and steadily - the dirt road soared to 80, and it was considered something that only old drivers dared to do if they didn't slow down and corner. Seeing the oncoming car, Tang Wu, who was rampaging like a beast, retreated in defeat, and of course did not rule out the possibility that they saw a female driver sitting in the driver's seat and subconsciously slowed down.

Soon, Liu Guanxi and his party arrived at the river.

Parked the car in a place with few people, Chen Li called Liu Guanli an expert: "I think if you don't give a few more red envelopes, the coach must be thundering, is your coach running a rally?"

"I had an accident and injured my leg, and now I don't run. Why, you still know my coach?"

“...... No, I just feel like the world is so small!"

When he walked to the barbecue restaurant, Lao Zhong was sharpening his knife, sitting on a small stool and smoking a cigarette, and his open placket revealed his shiny belly.

Chen Li's face tightened, his right hand was put in his pocket, and he walked quickly towards Lao Zhong.

Yang Jingru also wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Liu Guanxi.

"Sister Liu, just let the director go alone?"

"Look, it's fine. ”

I saw Chen Li suddenly take out a piece of money and stick it on Lao Zhong's forehead.

"I don't owe you, Lao Zhong!"

The warmth of the afternoon made the barbecue restaurant owner's forehead sweat slightly, and the dollar stuck to his head like a talisman and couldn't fall off.

Lao Zhong was stunned, and reached out to splash a slap of water from the basin next to him: "What's the trouble? I didn't see Lao Tzu sharpening his knife!"

Yang Jingru stared at Lao Zhong's hand holding the knife, and once she found any hint of Lao Zhong's attempt to attack, she would draw her knife and slash at it. To deal with an ordinary person, Yang Jingru can do it first.

"What's delicious today, recommend it!" Chen Li smiled hippiely, with neither anger nor sadness in sight, as if his intention was to come over for dinner.

"You guy has a dog's nose, and you've got something good again!" the old man scolded and dragged a basin inside, in which a strange fish with a flat head and a narrow belly and blue scales on its back was flicking its tail in boredom.

"Find an acquaintance to collect the mekong, absolutely natural origin of fishing, and those big road goods on the market are not the same thing! Last time the carp made a whole fish soup, this time I made a grilled fish for you to taste!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the second floor!"

"Get down!" Lao Zhong shouted to Chen Li: "You don't come to help, how can I do it?"

"Isn't there Ah Zhen Ali doing things!" Chen Li complained, "What about people, who are lazy as soon as they start work in the middle of the day?"

"I paid them and they won't come back. Lao Zhong said lightly.

"Then you guys go upstairs first! Open two bottles of old Qingdao and wait, the delicious food will come soon!"

Yang Jingru wanted to say something, but was pushed up the stairs by Liu Guanxi.

"Sister Liu, if they suddenly fight......"

"No, the two of them used to ...... Hey, really, what's going on!" Liu Guanxi touched Yang Jingru's waist fiercely, causing Yang Jingru to scream.

"Well, it's much more comfortable this time!"

Leek fish maw pig intestine, the usual three things are served first. Next, there are regular dishes such as eggplant, chicken wings, and hot dogs, and Yang Jingru looked at the menu as if they were all written on it.

Small dishes are arranged in a circle, and in the middle is a spicy grilled fish that is still bubbling, like the stars and the moon.

Liu Guanxi shook the table with his hand, making sure that it could still support it.

"I wanted to ask just now, I don't have any money to give you so many dishes!" Chen Li said shamelessly: "The last dollar is given to you, but I am penniless!"

"You're always in strange places...... It's all mine today, otherwise you won't be able to open this pot of fish even if you divide the invoice into ten times!"

"Can you be cautious in your words, today you are the second person to say this about me!" Chen Li was not polite, and picked the fattest piece of meat from the middle of the fish body and put it back in his bowl. "You pulled down the door when you came up, don't you have to do business?"

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow, today is the last day to open the door, and you're the last guest. ”

"I stabbed my friend, can't I hold back and want to run away?" Yang Jingru asked coldly: "An old friend of more than ten years said that he would stab him, it's really cold-blooded!"

"Do you see that he is angry?" the old man took a sip and pointed at Chen Li.

Yang Jingru looked at it, and she was really angry.

The old lady is helping you get justice, you might as well eat alone!

"But I'm angry!"

Lao Zhong glanced at Liu Guanci and said to Yang Jingru with a smile: "Who are you, why are you angry? Ahri, I have been away from the life-saving department for more than ten years, can it be said that that person has changed? Aren't you even my wife not allowed to come to the life-saving department often?"

"Jingru was brought into the life-saving department by Ah Chu, and it's normal to have a little special feelings!" Liu Guanxi looked at Yang Jingru with the eyes of a fool and said, "Maybe Ah Chu has been too unlucky recently, she can't stand it a little!"

"Xiao Yang is the lost girl I rescued single-handedly, what's wrong with being closer to me? Unlike some people, stabbing people and stabbing people at the waist, my conscience is greatly damaged!" Chen Li overbearingly stretched out the chopsticks stretched out by Lao Zhong and took the last piece of fish belly into his pocket.

"Also, it's strange enough to have a person in the world who is blind, and it is impossible for anyone to take a fancy to you, right?"

"Get out. Lao Tzu still has a young domesticated one at home, believe it or not? Lao Tzu can call her out with a phone call to open your eyes to this turtle, don't treat others with yourself!"

"Huh. Talk to me when you don't have to dry your own clothes. ”

"It's great that someone makes breakfast, hangs clothes, and cleans! This is the stereotype of women in society! You want to tie women up in the family and treat them as slaves! Shake and be cold! Woo. ”

Lao Zhong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a long white smoke.

"I know you're lightening the mood, but maybe you don't know I'm divorced. ”

"Ugh. ”

Chen Li put down the pig's raw intestines and smiled awkwardly but politely.

"I don't know ......"

"It's okay, it's been almost ten years, and I'm used to it. ”

"I remember you have a daughter......" Liu Guanxi said hesitantly. Lao Zhong suddenly came out like this, and even Liu Guanxi was suppressed.

usually jokes about the three fortunate things for men, and they are promoted to get rich and die their wives. But who can forget the feeling of being heart-warming when Lao Zhong was in the rescue office, and he was even retaliated against by Chen Li because of his bad influence.

Cultivators, especially those who work in the Rescue Bureau, are invisible people in society, but they are a group of people who can be considered more integrated into society than those who are nested in the mountain gates. In order to avoid retaliation by aliens, the employees of the rescue department rarely form relationships with ordinary people, and even if they get married, they will not expose their relationships in society. Colleagues and superiors will also be silent, and will not ask about family relationships.

So Chen Li and Liu Guanxi knew that Lao Zhong was married to an ordinary person, but they didn't know the specific situation.

"Xirou, my daughter's name is Xirou. Lao Zhong squeezed out an expression of wrinkles and scars on his face that he didn't know if it was a smile or not, and said wistfully: "I don't know how to name it, this name was given to her by her mother." The child has been close to his mother since he was a child, and I am not much at home, so after the divorce, the child followed his mother back to his hometown. ”

"You didn't come to me to inquire about household matters, did you? I know what you want to ask, and I'll tell you now. ”

Lao Zhong tilted his head and swallowed a glass of wine, and when he put the glass down, there was a red mark in his eyes.

"Lin Hui is a very sensible woman, really. At that time, Xinghai City was rampant with demons and ghosts, and it was not easy for the Rescue Department to gain a firm foothold here. Every day is an endless alien alarm, the green one is every day, the yellow one rings every other day, people can't stop running up, and they have to stay up all night every day. You've experienced these things too, and you should be well aware of them. ”

Lao Zhong looked at Chen Li, Chen Li silently raised his glass and dried up.

"She has to go to work during the day, and I can't accompany her when I come back at night, so I am often alone at home. She never complained to me, not once. Even if Xirou is born later, she has to be busy with work and take care of the children, she will not complain that I don't care about the family and the children. I owe her so much!"

"Sometimes I think, is it worth it for me to fight for my life and death, every day at the risk of leaving their orphans and widows? What if something really happens? I'm scared, Ah, I'm really scared!"

Liu Guanxi wanted to speak and stopped, but Yang Jingru was silent. As soon as Chen Li wanted to speak, Lao Zhong interrupted him.

"I know I'm doing the right thing, and even the sacrifice is worth it!"

"I've never doubted what the life-saving department does, but not being afraid of death doesn't mean I'm not afraid of pain, and it's normal for me to feel scared as a human being, right?"

"Even if I do die in battle, I don't resent anyone. Cultivators are originally shields in front of ordinary people, and the shield will always be broken one day. Even if you are dealt with, aren't you still tricked?"

"That day, do you remember? The Earth Dragon Demon Saint broke through the lifesaving place from underground, and many people died. ”

Lao Zhong touched the cup, and Liu Guanxi poured it full for him.

"Jin Haoyu, Pan Jiesi, I still remember their names. When the earth dragon turned over, they were crushed to death before they even had a chance to escape, and you and Ah Jian were dragged outside, and Ahri couldn't help. I faced the Demon Saint alone, and despite all my might, I didn't even survive for a minute, and the Earth Dragon just flicked its tail and flew me out. ”

"Fortunately, I saved my life, if I stayed in the life-saving office, you should go to the cemetery to see me now!" Lao Zhong laughed at himself and said: "My life has been saved, but the Dao vein has also been abolished, and our life-saving department is really a waste! ”

"The life-saving department didn't deduct your pension, right? This is a special expenditure, and it should be paid every month!" Liu Guanxi said cautiously.

"The Bureau didn't treat me badly. The salaries of civil servants are paid as usual, and the housing allowance of the provident fund is also quite a lot, and there is no need to go to work, where can I find such a good thing! I don't blame others until now, I only blame myself!"

Lao Zhong drank another drink, and Liu Guanxi hurriedly filled it.

"It was I who couldn't bear the life of losing my Dao power to force Lin Hui away!"
